Published by Webster

Bought for a whopping price of INR 23.75 crore in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 auction by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Venkatesh Iyer has admitted that there is pressure to live up to the expectations. After multiple failures with the bat, the batter showed a glimpse of what he can do, scoring 60 runs off just 29 balls to help KKR put a 200-run total on the board against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). When asked about the top price tag and the expectations that come with it, Venkatesh gave a smashing reply in the press conference on Thursday. “Once IPL starts, it doesn’t matter whether you were sold for Rs 20 lakh or 20 crore. The money doesn’t define how you will play cricket,” Iyer said in the post-match press conference. Venkatesh also chose to highlight the excellent work his teammate Angkrish Raghuvanshi has done so far this season despite coming to the team for a fee of INR 3 crore. While Iyer remains the team’s most expensive buy of the auction, he …

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, two of the biggest players in Indian cricket right now, are at the proverbial crossroads of their career. Their class is unquestionable but their current form is not. Both the senior stars have had a tumultuous run after the T20 world Cup 2024. They have already retired from the shortest format and now question marks are being raised on whether they should continue in the other formats too.

Independence Of Judiciary Doesn’t Mean…: Chief Justice DY Chandrachud

Published by Webster

DY Chandrachud said he was called independent when he ruled against the government. New Delhi: Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud on Monday said the independence of the judiciary does not mean always delivering verdicts against the government. Speaking at an event here organised by the Indian Express group, Mr Chandrachud said there are pressure groups trying to get favourable verdicts by putting pressure on the courts by using electronic media. “Traditionally, judicial independence was defined as independence from the executive.

Mr Chandrachud, who demits office on November 10, said a lot of these pressure groups term the judiciary independent if judges decide in their favour. “‘If you do not decide in my favour, you …

Image was shared on Instagram. (courtesy: Kareenakapoor) Bollywood stars Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, in a recent interview, have shared their thoughts on the relevance of star kids and the importance of last names in the Hindi film industry. The couple, in conversation with Film Companion, confessed that they don’t like their kids being photographed all the time.  During the interview, Anupama Chopra talked to Kareena about the public’s obsession with her sons—Taimur and Jeh— and asked, “When you were asked about how much last names matter in the Hindi film industry and has that importance increased or decreased?

I mean tomorrow if somebody wants to make a movie with one of them, it’s not rocket science.” The Archies, cited by Saif, was directed by Zoya Akhtar and marked …
