3 min readJan 30, 2026 06:28 PM IST By Amit Pagnis With the Under-19 World Cup happening now, I often go back to 1998 in South Africa, when I captained India’s U-19 team. One match that stands out is our last Super League game against Pakistan in Durban. It was a crucial game, and the pressure was very high. At that time, players like Reetinder Sodhi, Laxmi Ratan Shukla, Virender Sehwag, Mohammad Kaif and Amit Bhandari were in the side. We had a lot of respect for each other, and leading that group was never a big pressure. I had a lot of fun playing with them and really enjoyed captaining them. The last Super League game against Pakistan in Durban was crucial for us. To qualify, we had to reach the target – 191 – in a certain number of overs. It wasn’t just about winning; it was about improving our net run rate. We had lost to Australia earlier, so everything came down to this one match and a strict equation. Because of …

PM Modi speaking at the inauguration event in Lucknow. (Image: PIB) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday took a veiled dig at the Nehru-Gandhi family of the Congress, saying that previous Congress-led governments had concentrated recognition around one family while ignoring several national icons. While addressing a gathering after inaugurating the Rashtriya Prerna Sthal in Lucknow, PM Modi said that leaders who made significant contributions to the nation were not given due respect when the Congress was in power. He said that from books, government schemes, to institutions, roads and public places, all were named to glorify one family. “After independence, a tendency to connect all the good work that took place in India to the same family emerged. Whether it be books, government schemes, government institutions, streets, roads, or squares, it was all connected to the pride of one family,” he said. #WATCH | Uttar Pradesh: …

How George Clooney Became One Of Hollywood’s Richest Icons

Published by Webster

George Clooney Net Worth 2025 ( Photo Credit – Facebook ) George Clooney has built a life that reads like a steady climb written right in front of Hollywood. Although his rise may seem smooth on the surface, it stems from years of constant work, stubborn ambition, and a family that treated show business as a daily routine. George Clooney & The Early Path That Shaped His Stardom Apparently, long before George Clooney achieved Hollywood glamour, he watched his mother, Nina Bruce, shine as a beauty queen and city councilwoman, while his father, Nick Clooney, delivered classic films to living rooms across America. His aunt Rosemary Clooney filled her world with music and cabaret charm, and it all settled into George’s bones before he knew what to do with it. He started from the smallest corners of the industry, standing in the background of TV sets in 1978 and taking any part that kept him moving. Then, a strange coincidence gave him a role on a short-lived sitcom called E/R in 1984, almost a decade before …

Farrhana Bhatt-Asim Riaz The comparisons stem from her fierce, confrontational nature, fearless gameplay, and the way she faced the entire house’s backlash after shredding a fellow contestant’s letter during a task, a scenario very similar to one involving Asim Riaz and Mahira Sharma in his season. Her ‘could not care less’ attitude during tough situations, like the media round, has also been noted as reminiscent of Asim’s demeanor.
