Despite making his India debut 13 years ago, Rohit Sharma is still not perceived to be a reliable Test batsman. In fact, thanks to the huge gap between his batting average at home (81.05) and overseas (27.00), he is referred to by some as a flat-track bully in Test cricket. Consistent showing In the last two months, however, the Mumbai maverick has evolved into a reliable opening batsman in challenging conditions. While he gave India a start in three of the four innings he played in Australia last month, February has seen Rohit consistently making a mockery of the England bowlers on spin-friendly tracks. His 161 in Chennai in the second Test and 66 in the first innings of the pink-ball Test here have been instrumental in India making a strong comeback in the ongoing series and being on the cusp of qualifying for the World Test Championship final. While a majority of batsmen from both the teams struggled to get their act together on excessively spin-friendly surfaces in the ... » Learn More about India vs England | Rohit has proved himself in tougher home conditions

IND vs ENG: R Ashwin blasts at English journalist over question regarding Motera pitch, watch
It felt like R Ashwin has had enough of critics slamming the quality of pitches being curated in the ongoing India vs England Test series. The frustration was evident on Saturday, when Ashwin countered an English journalist with a question during a virtual press conference, after being asked about the Motera track. Ashwin and Axar Patel combined to wreak havoc on Joe Root and co. in the recently-concluded pink-ball Test in Ahmedabad, which finished inside two days. The duo picked 18 of the 20 England wickets in both the innings, which saw the visitors getting bundled at paltry scores of 112 and 81 respectively as India secured a comprehensive 10-wicket victory. During the process, Ashwin also achieved a personal milestone as he went on to become the second-fastest bowler after Sri Lanka great Muttiah Muralitharan to complete 400 Test wickets. Meanwhile, England captain Joe Root also claimed career-best figures of 5-8 in the first session of Day 2. R Ashwin has had enough ... » Learn More about IND vs ENG: R Ashwin blasts at English journalist over question regarding Motera pitch, watch

Story of human rights in India: Officers protecting their buddies
A recent issue that has come to light after Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur was nominated for contesting the Bhopal Lok Sabha seat is her physical torture in custody. It is a matter of fact that she, Colonel Shrikant Purohit and others arrested in the Malegaon blast case of 29.9.2008 had been physically and mentally tortured. Handlers, not leaders Anubhuti Now, even our beloved Prime Minister has claimed that he too has been subjected to such torture and he too is a victim.

Freedom and security: On social media platforms operating in India
By calling on social media platforms operating in India to follow the law of the land, as it did last week in Parliament, the government has not just stated the seemingly obvious but also delivered a warning to Twitter that it ought not to defy its orders again, the way it did in early February, when the government wanted certain handles blocked for spreading incendiary content. “We respect criticism… you can criticise even the Prime Minister,” said Minister of IT and Communications Ravi Shankar Prasad in Parliament on Thursday. “But if social media is used to propagate hate, then action will be taken.” Further, he asked, why “when police act in Washington’s Capitol Hill ransacking, a micro blogging site stands in their support, but when a similar action is taken at Red Fort, our national pride, the platform opposes it?” That the government wanted problematic hashtags blocked is understandable, given the tense situation on the ground on the day of the farmer protests, but what is ... » Learn More about Freedom and security: On social media platforms operating in India
