Bad Luck, faulty selections and a Steve Smith insult

Bad Luck, faulty selections and a Steve Smith insult

Around 2 am in Australia, the texts began. Bharat Sundaresan and Tom Morris were on air for Sen Radio, calling the T20 World Cup, when their phones lit up. Not a trickle. A flood. Australian fans, awake in the middle of the night, furious. About Cameron Green. About Steve Smith sitting in the stands. About a team that had flown halfway across the world and was losing to Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. The received wisdom has always been simple: Australians play T20, they just don’t feel it. The Big Bash is background noise. The T20 World Cup is something that happens. The real game, the real identity, lives in the baggy green, in five-day Tests, in the mythology of the Ashes. The ODI World Cup, at a push. “Not if you saw some of the texts,” Sundaresan says. “I see it this way: had Australia won the games against Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, the fans wouldn’t have not been so enthused about following the World Cup. They would have said, ‘yeah that was expected’. And …

T20 World Cup | Quick Comment: Ishan Kishan deserves credit for making his own luck even as Shubman Gill, Sanju Samson ran out of it | Cricket News

4 min readFeb 15, 2026 08:36 PM IST Runs have flown at such a relentless rate from Ishan Kishan’s bat since his return to the India team that it feels difficult to fathom that he spent two years without a trace of his name in conversations regarding international cricket. It needed an immeasurable amount of fortune and runs in domestic cricket at the right time for Ishan to be named in the squad for the ongoing T20 World Cup. Against Pakistan in Colombo on Sunday, he put on another masterful T20 innings. His 40-ball 77 was not merely a bit of stat-padding. On a tacky pitch and having seen his partner in early destruction, Abhishek Sharma, depart for a duck in the first over, he manipulated fields and stepped out his crease with abandon, while his assessment of the conditions and ease in stroke play spoke volumes of his confidence and form. It was his third fifty, to go with a maiden century in this format, in seven outings since the start of the year. …

3 min readUpdated: Feb 14, 2026 08:12 PM IST Ranbir Kapoor belongs to that rare breed of old-school stars — adored on the big screen, yet almost invisible off it. He doesn’t flood social media with updates, doesn’t overshare his personal life, and prefers to let his work do the talking. Most anecdotes about his lifestyle or hobbies usually come from family members or co-stars. While he isn’t publicly active online, he is known to have a private social media account. However, he pleasantly surprised fans on Valentine’s Day with a special live interaction on the ARKS handle — the official page of his clothing brand. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO During the session, Ranbir answered several fan questions. One fan cheekily complained that he often signs off with “See you in the theatres,” but then disappears for years before his next release. Laughing, Ranbir responded, “It’s my bad luck. Usually when people start a movie, it gets completed in four to six months. But my films somehow take longer. I just hope that when the …

T20 World Cup | How did Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma and Shafali Verma wish good luck to Surya’s team | Cricket News

5 min readFeb 5, 2026 08:16 PM IST The sentiment to get comfortable in the skin of domineering champions. Suryakumar Yadav’s T20 Team India has been urged not just to defend the crown Rohit, Virat, Hardik and Bumrah won at Barbados, but to now effectively keep the Cup home – given India is hosting. Speaking to The Indian Express about the promo campaign run by JioHotstar for the last one month, World Cup player of the final Deepti Sharma said, “Ek Cup aa gayaa hai, doosra jaane nahi denge. I’m very sure the team will work very hard for the Cup, and bring it home,” she said. The campaign might not have captured the imagination as much as the one before the Women’s World Cup where an ordinary fan of the men’s game is slowly persuaded to cheer as loudly for the women, but this one conceptualised by Atul Kattukaran and the creative team at the broadcasters, harps on not letting go of the bragging rights of being world champions. ‘ Indian women mounted a …

‘These moments are priceless’: Rishabh Pant wishes India U-19 team luck ahead of World Cup final vs England | Cricket News

3 min readUpdated: Feb 5, 2026 06:32 PM IST With the India U-19 team just one win away from clinching a record-extending sixth title, Rishabh Pant wished Ayush Mhatre and Co all the best for the final vs England on Friday. “All the best to the U-19 boys. You are playing some amazing cricket. From my U-19 experience, I can say this – these moments are priceless, so enjoy them with your teammates and give it your best,” Pant, who was part of India’s team for the 2016 U-19 World Cup, posted on X. “Playing for India is always a proud moment, at any level. Enjoy the occasion, play with heart, wear the jersey with pride and get the cup home,” he added. India will bank on its swashbuckling batting line-up when it takes on a gritty England in what promises to be an evenly-matched summit clash. India’s successful chase of a massive total to humble Afghanistan in the semifinal where skipper Ayush Mhatre and opener Aaron George finally produced innings of substance, augurs well …

NATO chief wishes ‘good luck’ to those who think Europe can defend itself without US help | World News

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, center, greets the audience prior to his address during the Security and Defence Committee at the European Parliament in Brussels. (AP Photo) NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte insisted on Monday that Europe is incapable of defending itself without US military support and would have to more than double current military spending targets to be able to do so. “If anyone thinks here … that the European Union or Europe as a whole can defend itself without the US, keep on dreaming. You can’t,” Rutte told EU lawmakers in Brussels. Europe and the United States “need each other,” he said. Tensions are festering within NATO over US President Donald Trump’s renewed threats in recent weeks to annex Greenland, which is a semiautonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark. Trump also said that he was slapping new tariffs on Greenland’s European backers, but later dropped his threats after a “framework” for a deal over the mineral-rich island was reached, with Rutte’s help. Few details of the agreement have emerged. The 32-nation military organization is …

‘This time he didn’t even need luck’: Sunil Gavaskar weighs in on Suryakumar Yadav’s return to form | Cricket News

Worries over Suryakumar Yadav’s form was a major talking point before the start of India’s ongoing T20I series against New Zealand. Three matches into it, the Indian captain seems to have shown that fans will probably get to see the best of him in the upcoming T20 World Cup, with Suryakumar playing a major role in India’s daunting batting displays thus far in the series. Former India captain and batting great Sunil Gavaskar has said that the innings in the first T20I is what Suryakumar needed. “His knock the other day in Raipur gave him exactly the confidence he needed. He hasn’t been short of form; he’s been short of runs,” said Gavaskar on Star Sports. Suryakumar scored a 22-ball 32 in the first match as India won by 48 runs. He has gone on to finish unbeaten on 82 off 37 in the second T20I and on 57 off 26 in the third. India won those two matches comfortably as well and have thus already confirmed victory in the five-match series.  “He has been …

‘People think I’m lucky, but I made my own luck’: Expert reflects on Rajat Bedi’s 20 years of setbacks and his emotional comeback | Workplace News

Actor Rajat Bedi, who recently returned to screens with a key role in Aryan Khan’s The Ba***ds of Bollywood, opened up about the emotional toll of his career setbacks.  Known for playing villains in several Bollywood films, including the 2003 blockbuster Koi… Mil Gaya, Rajat revealed that he decided to step away from acting in the mid-2000s after failing to reach the next level in his career. He moved to Canada to start a real estate business, but faced multiple hurdles there, too, including being cheated by business partners. Reflecting on the two decades away from the spotlight in an interview with Digital Commentary, Rajat shared, “People only see the comeback, but for the last 20 years, I have been in pain. They think I’m lucky. But I’ve made my own luck. I never gave up. Yes, I’ve been fortunate as well. My wife has been a constant support for me. She’s experienced a lot of sadness because of me. But because of this show, she is sharing the joy as well. She can’t believe …
