Vinesh’s team to carry their own weighing scales for the Asian Games trials

Vinesh’s team to carry their own weighing scales for the Asian Games trials

If this were any other tournament, Vinesh Phogat would have been studying her opponents on the eve of her much-anticipated return to competition. Not least because she would be stepping on the mat for the first time in two years on Saturday – this time in the 53kg category. Instead, the two-time World Championship medallist and a three-time Olympian was glued to the Supreme Court proceedings, where the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) – in their last, desperate attempt – tried hard to stop her from competing in the Asian Games selection trials. After the bench comprising Justice PS Narasimha and Justice Alok Aradhe cleared her participation, Vinesh and her team’s focus quickly turned to Saturday’s trials – preparing not just for the expected battles on the mat, but the unexpected ones off it too. Their measures include carrying their own weighing scales, designating a ‘trusted person from the inner circle’ to ensure Vinesh’s food and water are not tampered with, and filming the bouts, even though the Delhi High Court ordered that the trials …

Is pressure of expectations weighing Rishabh Pant down? Tom Moody says, ‘you need to ask him’ | Cricket News

4 min readChennaiMay 11, 2026 12:00 AM IST Lucknow Super Giants‘ hopes of making the play-offs have been dashed, and their misfiring batting needs to take a lot of the blame. On a day they made 203 and still lost the game, it eventually boiled down to the 20 runs they failed to score on a flat pitch. Having got off to a strong start thanks to Josh Inglis’ 85 off 33 deliveries, Lucknow were on course for a total close to 250. From 112/2 at the end of the ninth over, they found themselves at 154/6 by the end of the 15th. As their middle order endured another collapse, captain Rishabh Pant’s performance through the season came under further scrutiny. Acquired for a record Rs 27 crore at the big auction ahead of the 2025 season, the wicketkeeper has managed only 251 runs in 11 outings to go with the 268 runs he tallied in 14 matches last year. Coming in at No.4 on Sunday, Pant had an opportunity to take the game further …

Warner Bros weighing revised bid from Paramount as bidding war escalates

Feb 24 – Paramount Skydance submitted a revised offer to buy Warner Bros.

Govt weighing option of impeachment motion against Justice Yashwant Varma

Govt weighing option of impeachment motion against Justice Yashwant Varma

The Union government is weighing the option of bringing in Parliament an impeachment motion against Allahabad High Court judge Yashwant Varma, who has been indicted by a Supreme Court-appointed probe panel after the discovery of a huge sum of burnt cash from his official residence in the national capital. Sources in the government said an impeachment motion in Parliament, which meets next during the Monsoon Session starting in the second half of July, is an obvious choice if Justice Verma, who was repatriated from Delhi High Court to Allahabad High Court after the unsavoury incident, does not resign on his own. The then Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna had written to the president and the prime minister, recommending his impeachment. Khanna sent the letter after an in-house inquiry panel constituted by the apex court indicted Varma, though its findings were not made public. CJI Khanna had nudged Varma to resign but he had refused, sources said. An official source, however, added that a formal process for the action against Varma has not begun yet. …
