BCCI Breaks Silence On Team India's Asian Games Accommodation Controversy

The Indian cricketers competing at the upcoming Asian Games in Japan will stay at the designated accommodation arranged by the Organising Committee though they are not the five-star hotels they usually get on foreign tours, BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla said on Tuesday. Shukla said the issue on the accommodation of the hotels for the cricketers had arisen due to the scarcity of top-rated hotels in Nagoya. He, however, said accommodation of the cricketers was not a big issue and the BCCI and the players are satisfied with the arrangement. "Whatever they (organisers) are providing, we are staying there and we are keeping a watch what kind of accommodation is being given so that our players are comfortable. Definitely those are not of five-star but a good accommodation," Shukla said at the send-off ceremony of the Indian contingent . "Whatever has been offered to our cricketers that accommodation we have got the photographs all the way and the videos also of that, s...

Sooryavanshi's Cheeky Reply Amid Doubts Over His Bowling: "I'm A Wicket-Taker"

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi showed his wicket-taking prowess in East Zone's Duleep Trophy victory over North East Zone, striking twice in the latter's second innings. The 15-year-old, who had earlier shown glimpses of his left-arm off-spin during the U19 World Cup, used his bowling skills to good effect with the red ball too. After the match, Sooryavanshi confessed that East Zone captain Ishan Kishan thought it would be a risk to give him the ball. The 15-year-old cheekily said that Kishan wasn't aware of his wicket-taking skills. "Ishan bhaiya felt like he was taking a risk by giving me the ball. But he doesn't know that I am a wicket-taker," Sooryavanshi said, in a video shared by BCCI. "If you ask batters, they always enjoy bowling.

Sooryavanshi revealed that he knew he would get ...

Explained: Why Yash's Toxic Is Releasing This Wednesday Instead Of Friday

On August 26, Rocking Star Yash's magnum opus Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is set to release worldwide in more than 12,000 screens reportedly. The movie, which was initially meant to release in March along with Dhurandhar 2 , was pushed to June and finally August due to various factors. Interestingly though August 26 is mid-week and it begs the question why the producers have decided to release on Wednesday instead of the usual Friday release. In recent years in Indian - and particularly south cinema - there has been a noticeable shift in the release day of films. While the Friday release was the highly expected moment for the audience that saw a lot of celebration and fanfare, big south films have now slowly started to see releases shift to a Thursday and even a Wednesday. Earlier producers capitalised on the three-day weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) to recover their costs but now they have reworked their release strategy for numerous reasons. The foremost one is that ...

US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he would raise tariffs up to 50 per cent on a range of Canadian products in the auto sector from 2027 after trade talks between the neighbouring countries collapsed. Trump threatened Canada and said that it will no longer be treated like a US "state". "On January first, 2027, tariffs on all cars, trucks, both large and small, automotive parts, and steel, will be increased to 50%. Build in the U.S. And there are zero tariffs," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. The current US tariff on autos stands at 25 per cent for non-US content, while imported steel to the United States generally faces a 50-per cent duty. The White House had alleged "discriminatory treatment" by Canada against US alcohol, automobile and dairy products in rolling out the duties. Last week, Trump delayed the implementation of the tariffs by three days last week after the two countries had stepped up talks towards a trade deal. The...
