Why India pacers are struggling at Women’s T20 World Cup 2026?

Published by Webster

Three matches into the Women’s T20 World Cup, India are walking a tightrope. With two wins in three outings, the semi-final dream still glimmers on the horizon, but the stumble against South Africa has cast fresh shadows on their path. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side would not have wanted to find themselves in this position. Yet, with two group matches remaining, they need wins in both to stay in contention for a final four berth. While the batting has relied on individual contributions at different stages, India’s bowling attack has developed a clear pattern. As the tournament enters its decisive phase, one aspect of that attack stands out more than any other. There was little doubt when the squad for the tournament was announced that India’s spinners would have to carry a lot of the load if they were to go deep at the World Cup. The pacers would then have to play the ideal support cast. There has only been a faint glimmer of that support seen so far. 21 of the 24 wickets taken …

Peddi worldwide box office collection day 8: It seems Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor’s Peddi has lost all momentum it generated in a record opening. The film suffered successive drops in daily collections over the first week, getting reduced from ₹100 crore a day to under ₹10 crore per day by the end of week 1. This has meant that the film has failed to clear ₹300 crore in a week, after earning a third of that on the opening day alone.

Kangana Ranaut admits struggling with self-doubt in politics: Am I dressing up too much? Is it okay to wear sleeveless?

Rihanna once famously said in an interview that on days when she doesn’t feel confident, she simply pretends to be. “Fake it till you make it,” was her mantra. But in reality, that isn’t always possible. Self-doubt has a way of creeping in, especially when you’re trying to balance two vastly different careers. Recently, actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut opened up about her own struggles with insecurity as she continues to navigate the world of politics. Kangana Ranaut on self-doubt in politics. (PTI Photo) (Sansad TV) ‘Will I be good enough?’ While speaking to India Today, the Queen actor was asked whether there was anything that frightened her despite often speaking about courage and bravery. Without hesitation, Kangana candidly admitted that self-doubt is something she continues to grapple with. She said, “Anything can scare you. It’s not some larger-than-life fear. But the small things like, ‘Will I be good enough?’ Especially in my new job as a politician, what is the right way for me to be? Am I too much of an actress? Am I dressing …

Shekhar Suman made his Hindi film debut opposite none other than Rekha in the 1984 film Utsav. Soon after, he signed Manav Hatya, which also happened to be Madhuri Dixit’s second film. At the time, neither Shekhar nor Madhuri were established stars. Years later, Shekhar fondly recalled the chaotic yet memorable experience of working with a young Madhuri during their struggling days in the industry.

Shekhar was paid just ₹5,000 for the film Speaking to Bollywood Bubble in an old interview from 2024, Shekhar shared that the director approached him to play a journalist in Manav Hatya. However, right at the outset, the filmmaker warned him that the project was running on an extremely tight budget. Shekhar was offered only ₹5,000 for the film — an amount that initially left him disappointed. Things became even more surprising when he discovered that his co-star was also a newcomer. That actor was Madhuri Dixit, who was still trying to find her footing in the industry. But …

Navigating an acting career in the entertainment industry is full of challenges, and the popular idea of overnight fame is often a romanticised myth. Such was the case for Kiara Advani when she embarked on her journey in Bollywood. While many assume her breakthrough began with blockbuster hits like MS Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016) or Kabir Singh (2019), her actual debut took place much earlier with the 2014 comedy-thriller Fugly.

Struggling Rahul Roy forced his way back into cinema with Agra after Bollywood stopped calling

Struggling Rahul Roy forced his way back into cinema with Agra after Bollywood stopped calling

Published by Parlour News

Last week, Rahul Roy had to issue an explanation about his financial state after rumours doing the rounds online that the actor, once a 1990s heartthrob, has been abandoned by family and is out of work that he’s had to collaborate with unknown social media influencers to earn his livelihood. He admitted that he kept waiting for work in the Hindi film industry, but took matters into his own hands once nobody showed up knocking on his door. Rahul’s last appearance on the screen was in Kanu Behl’s psychological drama Agra, last year. After premiering at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023, the film underwent a long and arduous journey to see a theatrical release in India. It’s now streaming on Prime Video India. Kanu, in an exclusive interview with SCREEN, talked about how the unlikely collaboration between him and Rahul took place. “We always knew we probably need some sort of a face in the casting of the seven primary characters. Because none of the others weren’t prominent faces,” said Kanu. Agra starred newcomer …

From spin-hitter to finisher: Why Shivam Dube is struggling at CSK in IPL 2026 | Cricket News

Published by Webster

In this season of the IPL, there has been a rather unfamiliar but regular sight when Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have put up the nets and started their batting drills. Shivam Dube, who reinvented his career since joining the franchise in 2022 as a spin-hitter and has gone on to replicate the role successfully with India in consecutive T20 World Cup triumphs, is now prepping up for the role of a finisher – one which Dube couldn’t master during his stint with Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals, but one he has done admirably well in India colours. But in yellow, it has so far resulted in the Aaru Saamy disappearing from the scene this season, with just 6 sixes to show in 8 outings. The new role has meant a change in his training methods. These days, Dube doesn’t milk spinners in the nets. He gets down to facing the pacers, who throw different challenges. From wide yorkers to bouncers on the off-stump channel, short deliveries aimed at the body and cramping him for …
