  • IND vs BAN 47th Match T20 World Cup 2024: Dream11 Team Prediction, Match Preview, Fantasy Cricket Hints: Captain, Probable Playing 11s, Team News; Injury Updates For Today’s India vs Bangladesh, Antigua, 8 PM IST, June 22 | Cricket News

    T20 World Cup 2024: India aims to maintain its unbeaten streak in the T20 World Cup 2024 as it faces Bangladesh in a Super Eight match at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua, on Saturday. Both teams will focus on rest, recovery, and strategizing for this crucial game. India smoothly transitioned from the challenging conditions in the USA to the more familiar West Indies, securing a comfortable 47-run win over Afghanistan in their first Super 8 stage game in Barbados. Now, they aim to excel in Antigua, where scores of 150 and above have been achieved four times.

    India’s main focus will be on their opening pair, captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who hasn’t been at his best so far, to build a strong partnership. With key contributions from Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, and Axar Patel in the batting department against Afghanistan, India also hopes that designated spin-hitter Shivam Dube will join in the run-scoring.

    India is likely to retain the same playing eleven from their match against Afghanistan, with left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav keeping his place after taking two wickets in his first T20 World Cup game. The bowlers continued their impressive form, with Jasprit Bumrah delivering a spell of 3-7, including 20 dot balls, the fewest runs ever conceded by an Indian bowler in a Men’s T20 World Cup where all four overs were bowled. Arshdeep Singh and Ravindra Jadeja also contributed with wickets, adding to another strong bowling performance by India in the tournament.

  • Hindujas, UK’s Richest Family, Challenges Swiss Court Jail Sentences, Denies Human Trafficking |

    The Hindujas, Britain’s wealthiest family, on Friday said they were apalled by a Swiss court’s decision to impose jail sentences on some members in Geneva. They have filed an appeal in a higher court to challenge the verdict that found them guilty of exploiting vulnerable domestic workers.

    A statement released by the family’s Swiss lawyers emphasized that their clients—Prakash and Kamal Hinduja, both in their seventies, and their son Ajay along with his wife Namrata—were cleared of all human trafficking charges. They also refuted reports suggesting any family members were facing imprisonment, despite court reports from Geneva indicating sentences of four to four and a half years.

    The statement, signed by lawyers Yael Hayat, Robert Assael, and Roman Jordan, declared, “Our clients have been acquitted of all human trafficking charges. We are dismayed by the remaining decision of this first-instance court, and have naturally filed an appeal to the higher court, rendering this portion of the judgment non-effective.”

    They further clarified, “According to Swiss law, the presumption of innocence remains until a final judgment by the supreme adjudicating body is executed. Contrary to certain media claims, no family members are currently detained.”

    The lawyers also noted that the plaintiffs had retracted their complaints, affirming to the court their lack of intention to be involved in such legal actions.

    Concluding the statement, they expressed, “The family trusts the legal system and is confident that the truth will emerge victorious.”

    This announcement came after a session in Geneva, where prosecutors initiated proceedings for alleged illicit activities, including exploitation, human trafficking, and breaches of Swiss labor laws, against the family members who were charged with confiscating workers’ passports and preventing them from leaving.

  • Cannes 2024: Sabotage attempt on Indian creative triumph by foreign competitor sparks outrage |

    ‘The Steel of India’ campaign, which earned a Silver and Bronze Lion at the prestigious Cannes Lions 2024, stands as a testament to the prowess of Indian creativity. Developed by Kondurkar Studio and Early Man Film, this milestone has been marred by controversy due to claims from the foreign agency Wieden+Kennedy (W+K).

    W+K’s Indian office alleged that the campaign closely mirrored their concept, igniting a dispute that saw initial hesitation from the Delhi High Court to fully support W+K’s assertions. Despite an out-of-court settlement, W+K has maintained its stance, persisting with their narrative of ownership over the creative idea.

    It appears that the Cannes success of Kondurkar Studio and Early Man Film was met with discontent by Wieden+Kennedy, says a report by Zee News’ sister concern DNA. Other reports indicate that their foreign-born CEO attempted to undermine this victory by contacting Cannes organizers and influencing media outlets. This action, perceived by many as a desperate and disgraceful attempt, taints a moment of national pride for India, where Indian companies were celebrated on an international platform.

    An analysis of the court order reveals a narrow interpretation. The judge refrained from addressing the substance of the copyright infringement claim, suggesting arbitration instead. Following the settlement, W+K withdrew their appeal, rendering the initial court order moot and ineffective.

    The announcement of the Cannes award, achieved by an Indian company, appears to have unsettled W+K, leading them to disparage the work and recognition of Indian creative talent. This incident underscores the persistent challenges Indian creatives face in gaining global recognition, often hindered by foreign entities with vested interests.

    This controversy emphasizes the ongoing struggle for respect and recognition faced by Indian creatives. While the ‘Steel of India’ campaign should be lauded for its excellence, W+K’s actions represent a regrettable effort to undermine Indian success. It is crucial for the global community to acknowledge and honour the contributions of Indian companies, celebrating their achievements without prejudice.

  • ‘Hero became zero’… repeatedly ‘cheating’ Rohit Sharma, now will this veteran be dropped from the playing 11?

    T20 World Cup 2024: Team India’s star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been a complete flop in the current T20 World Cup. He neither showed his flair in batting nor his bowling. Now it is believed that he may be dropped from the playing 11.

    Team India is performing brilliantly in the T20 World Cup 2024. The Men in Blue are undefeated so far under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. They reached the Super 8 by winning all the matches in the group stage and here too they defeated the Afghan team by 47 runs in their very first match. Except for one player, all the players of India are performing well. This player is none other than star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who did not appear in the rhythm for which Jadeja is known. Jaddu has been a flop with both bat and ball. This is the reason why he is in danger of being dropped from Team India’s playing 11.

    News Team India crushed Afghanistan by 47 runs in the Super-8 match of T20 World Cup 2024 played on Thursday. This is Team India’s fourth win in the current T20 World Cup. There is one player of Team India, who has not been able to do anything special even after playing 4 matches in T20 World Cup 2024. This player of Team India has been able to score only 7 runs and take only one wicket in 4 matches played so far in T20 World Cup 2024. This player of the Indian team is none other than Ravindra Jadeja.

    Batting came 2 times in 4 matches, only 7 runs came off the bat (T20 World Cup 2024)

    Ravindra Jadeja has played all the 4 matches for Team India so far. He got a chance to bat twice. He could not do anything special both the times. Jadeja could not even open his account against Pakistan, in that match he came to bat at number three. After this, Jadeja did not get a chance to bat against Ireland and America. Then when he came to play against the Afghan team, he was out after scoring just 7 runs, while Jadeja had a great chance to play a big innings, but he could not take advantage.

    This was Jadeja’s bowling performance in the T20 World Cup

    First match- On June 5, he gave 7 runs in 1 over in the first match against Ireland. He did not get a single wicket. Second match- On June 9, he gave 10 runs in 2 overs against Pakistan, he did not get a single wicket. Third match- Captain Rohit did not bowl a single over against the US team. Fourth match- The match against Canada was cancelled due to rain. Fifth match- Jadeja was able to open his account against Afghanistan, he got 1 wicket.

    May have to be out of the playing eleven

    Team India now has to face Bangladesh and Australia to secure a place in the semi-finals. Therefore, Rohit Sharma will field a strong playing 11. In these matches, Yuzvendra Chahal may replace Jadeja, who has not got a chance to play even a single match so far.
