2 min readJul 23, 2026 06:37 PM IST The 2027 World Test Championship final will be hosted at the Oval from June 9 to 13, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Thursday. It will be the second time that the marquee Test match will be played at the venue, with the Oval having played host to the final in 2023. Australia had won the title that year, beating India by 209 runs. South Africa are the defending champions, beating Australia in the last WTC Final in 2027 and thus ending their long wait for an ICC trophy. The decision comes just over a month after the Lord’s pitch for the first Test between England and New Zealand was rated ‘unsatisfactory’ by the ICC. The iconic cricket ground was earlier expected to host the 2027 Final, as it did in 2025. Match referee Andy Pycroft had said that there was “excessive seam movement throughout the Test and the ball also kept extremely low on several occasions”. “The bounce was variable throughout as 16 wickets fell …

How did India perform when Glasgow hosted 2014 Games?

How did India perform when Glasgow hosted 2014 Games?

Published by Webster

Glasgow, Scotland, is set to host the Commonwealth Games for the second time in 12 years, with the 22nd edition scheduled from July 23 to August 2. Glasgow last hosted the Games in 2014, when the home nation achieved its best-ever performance with 53 medals, finishing 4th, just above India, in the medal tally. For India, that was, in fact, one of the weaker performances in recent times, as it was the only time in the last 6 editions that India finished outside the top 4. Although India won more total medals than Scotland (64), they still finished 5th in the overall standings due to fewer gold medals (15 compared to Scotland’s 19). Star weightlifter Mirabai Chanu, who won a silver medal at the 2014 Glasgow Games, is the only medalist from that edition who is set to return for the 2026 Games. India’s Performance at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games: Wrestling: Most of India’s gold medals at this edition came in wrestling, with Amit Kumar, Vinesh Phogat, Sushil Kumar, Babita Kumari, and Yogeshwar Dutt …

This isolated under-construction building in Jharkhand village hosted a ‘Rs 20-crore fraud’ operation | India News

Published by Parlour News

Around 75 km from Ranchi, along the road that leads to Jamshedpur, lies a Rargaon village, which can be reached through a narrow stretch from the national highway. Away from the inhabited part of the village, in a large and isolated plot of land, is a three-storey under-construction building that is purportedly being built to house a private nursing college. This was the building that the Jharkhand Police raided hours before the Jharkhand Excise Constable Competitive Examination (JECCE) took place, leading to the arrest of 166 people. Of these, 159 were job aspirants, and the others were allegedly linked to a “solver gang” that promised to teach candidates the answers to questions that they claimed would come up in the exam, police said. The exam, however, took place as scheduled on Sunday, with police and the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) saying there was no paper leak and that the questions and answers the gang gave the aspirants did not match the exam question paper.
