Will biggest be the best? How 48-team draw changes dynamics of the FIFA World Cup

Will biggest be the best? How 48-team draw changes dynamics of the FIFA World Cup

4 min readUpdated: Jun 3, 2026 09:40 AM IST Here’s a sentence that might not have been possible in a 32-team World Cup: Norwegian striker Erling Haaland lines up against Iraq at Boston’s Gillette Stadium for their group opener. The presence of one of the best strikers in the contemporary game will be new, and so will be the Asian team he goes up against. For long, the FIFA World Cup has excluded some of the game’s greatest players and elbowed out teams that didn’t have the required strength in depth. Players like George Weah, Ryan Giggs and George Best were never part of the biggest show on the planet because Liberia, Wales and Northern Ireland never qualified for the World Cup during their time. But a 48-team World Cup’s most convincing argument is its inclusivity.

International Dance Day 2026: Vaibhavi Merchant, Chinni Prakash, Vijay Ganguly on changing dynamics of choreography

On International Dance Day, choreographers reflect on the evolution of dance in Hindi cinema, from classical-inspired movements of the past to today’s globally influenced choreography. Retaining the soul of the song is important: Vaibhavi Merchant Vijay Ganguly, Vaibhavi Merchant Vaibhavi, who won National Awards for Dholi Taaro Dhol Baaje (Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, 1999) and Dhindora Baaje Re (Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, 2023), refers to songs from Guide (1965), Pakeezah (1972) and Jewel Thief (1965) as “classics”. She shares, “When I watch the songs of choreographers of the yesteryear’s be it my own grandfather B Hiralalji or Sarojji’s mentor B Sohanlalji, songs from films like Guide (1965) or Pakeezah (1972), Jewel Thief (1965), those are what I call classics. The dance competition between Padminiji and Vyjantimala in Raj Tilak (1958) is my all time favourite. The masters have done it all and we are just an extension. Now we have Jimmy Jib’s and fancy equipment to help us but retaining the soul of the song is important. Today we have directors like Karan …

India acting on market conditions, evolving global dynamics, says MEA on Russia oil| India News

India on Saturday neither confirmed nor denied the Trump administration’s assertion that New Delhi has committed to stop buying Russian oil as part of a bilateral trade deal, with the government reiterating that energy purchases will be diversified on the basis of market conditions and international dynamics to ensure the country’s energy security. People familiar with the matter said India was diversifying energy purchases for geopolitical reasons, though there were no immediate signs of Russian energy purchases dropping to zero. (PTI) After US President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Friday that removed the 25% punitive tariff imposed on Indian exports last year on the condition that India will not resume Russian oil purchases, the external affairs ministry reiterated a statement from earlier this week that the “supreme priority” in sourcing energy is protecting the energy security of 1.4 billion citizens.

‘I am not joking’: When Katrina Kaif spoke about Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor starting ‘I Hate Katrina’ club; how misinterpretations affect team dynamics | Lifestyle News

3 min readNew DelhiFeb 5, 2026 12:00 AM IST In a revealing moment on Koffee With Karan Season 5, Katrina Kaif shared a humorous incident from the sets of her film Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya. According to Katrina, actors Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor had started an “I Hate Katrina” club during the filming of the movie.  “For some reason, Arjun and Varun started an ‘I Hate Katrina’ club. I am not joking. I was just walking, minding my own business. I know why Varun started the club. I don’t know why Arjun joined it,” Katrina laughed while recalling the incident. Initially, Katrina thought the boys had formed the club out of genuine dislike for her, but Varun later cleared the air. He explained that their frustration stemmed from the attention Katrina received from Salman Khan, who had previously taken them on treks and swimming trips, but now, with Katrina on set, the focus shifted entirely to her.  Arjun later confirmed the story during an interview, adding that the “We Hate Katrina Fan Club” was …

Rohit Sharma Can Afford To Take Risks But Team Dynamics Won’t Allow Virat Kohli: Aaron Finch

Rohit Sharma Can Afford To Take Risks But Team Dynamics Won’t Allow Virat Kohli: Aaron Finch

Virat Kohli has the skill to score runs at a much better strike-rate like any young T20 star but RCB’s team composition is such that he needs to adopt a risk-free approach and aim for a high scoring season, says former Australia skipper Aaron Finch. Finch, who led Australia to T20 World Cup victory in UAE back in 2021, feels that high-risk cricket, which someone like Rohit Sharma is playing consistently, has its own pitfalls with regards to consistency. After some underwhelming seasons, Kohli managed a strike-rate of near 140 in 2023 and his best in all IPL seasons came in 2024 where he scored 741 runs at 154.70. So does Virat Kohli need to change his game for RCB to take full advantage, considering that their bowling lineup might not be as good as others? “Well, the question you have to ask yourself is, do you want 700 or 800 runs or are you happy with 400? Because if you want Virat to strike higher, he can absolutely do that. But with …
