Sooryavanshi storm brews: tickets rush, windows under threat, Irish rattled | Cricket News

Published by Webster

5 min readChennaiJun 25, 2026 10:34 PM IST In Cricket Ireland’s office, there is already a sense of missed opportunity. Since the India tour was finalised only towards the end of March, they couldn’t slot the two T20Is at Dublin’s Malahide cricket stadium, home to 12,000 seats which is now being taken up for a concert series. Instead, as Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is on the cusp of making history by becoming the youngest-ever to play international cricket on Friday, they are finding ways to answer the overwhelming requests to find a seat at the Stormont cricket ground, which at the most can only accommodate 5,000. When Cricket Ireland slotted the fixtures to Belfast, there were apprehensions whether the Indian diaspora would make the trip to the northern most part of the country. The recent violence around the area, only cast more doubts. Instead, ever since Sooryavanshi’s name was included in India’s touring party, the hype around the fixtures has been beyond Cricket Ireland’s (CI) expectations. “My phone is buzzing all the time with people looking for …

160 farmers give consent for land acquisition in Third Mumbai, but opposition brews | Mumbai News

Published by Parlour News

3 min readMumbaiJun 23, 2026 02:28 AM IST Almost a month after the MMRDA opened the floodgates of land acquisition for Third Mumbai, around 160 farmers have pledged their land of 118 hectares for the project. Largely consisting of small farmers with a few gunthas of land to their name, officials said these farmers have overwhelmingly chosen the option to get 22.5% of their land in developed areas as their means of compensation, a leap of faith in the city whose realisation is a good decade away. The challenge in front of the MMRDA, however, looms large. The area under Third Mumbai is 323.44 sq km large, of which 104 sqkm is developable, accounting for mangroves, forest, etc. Of this, 118 hectares – 1.18 sqkm – represents a little over a percent of the total area to be acquired. Even as consent is trickling in, opposition against the ambitious city planned in the influence area of the Navi Mumbai International Airport and the Atal Setu is growing. “The Koli-Agri community here depends on their land …

Bhumihar vs Bhumihar Brahmin: In Bihar, trouble brews, protest threat looms | India News

Bhumihar vs Bhumihar Brahmin: In Bihar, trouble brews, protest threat looms | India News

Published by Parlour News

With the Bihar State Commission for Development of Upper Castes leaving it to the state government to decide whether “Bhumihar Brahmin” should replace “Bhumihar” in official records and caste certificates, leading Bhumihar organisations have threatened to intensify their protests, citing its usage in the last national caste survey conducted in 1931. Bhumihars are the third most populous upper caste in Bihar, with 2.86 per cent of the population — behind Brahmins (3.65 per cent) and Rajputs (3.45 per cent). Since 2015, caste certificates issued by the Bihar government have mentioned “Bhumihar”, and the Bihar caste-based survey Report 2022–2023, also lists “Bhumihar” among seven upper castes out of 215 castes or caste groups. Bhumihar is listed along with Brahmin, Rajput, Kayastha, Sheikh, Saiyyad and Pathan. The Census of India, 1931, clearly mentions “Bhumihar Brahmin”, with a population of 8,95,602. On Wednesday, the Bihar upper caste panel, after hearing the matter for the third time since November, remained undecided, with the five-member body not unanimous on the issue. The commission decided to refer the matter back to …

Published by Parlour News

Revelations by former Research and Analysis Wing chief A S Dulat in his new book, The Chief Minister and the Spy, have put the National Conference in a spot, particularly over his claim that party chief Farooq Abdullah was “willing to work with Delhi” on the abrogation of Article 370. Dulat claims in his book that Abdullah told him, “We would have helped. Why were we not taken into confidence?” on the abrogation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status. On Wednesday, Abdullah said he is saddened over the many inaccuracies in the book. Saying that “a friend doesn’t write like this”, Abdullah referred to Queen Elizebath’s words that “recollections may vary”. Story continues below this ad Dulat wrote in his book: “Just as BJP had never hidden its intentions towards Kashmir as far as Article 370 was concerned, so, too, had Farooq been extremely open about his willingness to work with Delhi.” “Maybe, he said, the NC could even have had the proposal passed in the legislative assembly in Jammu and Kashmir. ‘We would have …

All eyes on Nitish Kumar as political storm brews in Bihar

Published by Webster

All eyes were trained on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday, with the JD(U) president appearing to be inching towards his second political volte face in less than 18 months. For Kumar, who has maintained a deafening silence over the turmoil in the `Mahagathbandhan`, ignoring pleas from allies RJD, Congress and the Left to clear the air about the intense political speculation on his future step, it was business as usual. The longest-serving CM began the day by flagging off a number of new fire brigade engines at the city`s veterinary college ground, which saw him address a mammoth party rally earlier this week. He followed it up with a visit to Buxar, for inauguration of a beautification project of a renowned temple, a project of the tourism department that is held by his deputy Tejashwi Yadav, who remained conspicuous by his absence. The attendees included senior BJP leader and Union minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey, who is the local MP. Choubey declined to comment on the ongoing upheaval. BJP state in-charge Vinod Tawde, who …

Sydney Thunder’s head coach, Trevor Bayliss, will skip his team’s clash against Adelaide Strikers on Tuesday in the Big Bash League (BBL) to attend the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction in Dubai on behalf of IPL franchise Punjab Kings (PBKS), ESPNcricinfo reported. The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction will be taking place in Dubai at the Coca-Cola Arena on December 19 making it the first-ever instance of an auction taking place overseas. As ESPNcricinfo reported, Bayliss, who is a head coach of PBKS, flew to India in the middle of the 2022-23 BBL season to participate in last year’s auction, but his journey this year will cause him to miss a fixture in his job at home. Other coaches, notably Andy Flower in early 2022, have already departed tournaments to attend the IPL auction. Australia’s assistant coach Daniel Vettori flew to Dubai immediately after the team’s Test triumph over Pakistan in Perth to perform his duty as Sunrisers Hyderabad’s new coach, while Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting was not on Channel 7’s commentary …
