KL Rahul got out for another low score on Sunday as his horrid form in Test cricket continued. With India needing 115 to win the Delhi Test and take a 2-0 lead in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Rahul got out for 1 off 3 balls with spinner Nathan Lyon getting him caught behind. So far in two matches of the series against Australia, the Indian opener has scored just 38 runs in three innings while in six Tests since the start of 2022, Rahul has amassed just 175 runs in 11 innings. With Shubman Gill being in top form in ODIs and T20Is and having scored his maiden Test ton in Bangladesh in December, there are high chances that the opener from Punjab will replace Rahul at the top of the order in the third Test against Australia which is scheduled to be played in Indore from 1 March.

After Rahul got out for 17 in the first innings of the Delhi Test, Prasad wrote a long thread on Twitter attacking the opener and his selection. “And the torrid run continues. More to do with the rigidity of the management to persist with a player who just hasn’t looked the part. No top-order batsman in at least the last 20 years of Indian cricket has played thes...

Twitter Inc. fired more than 90% of its staff in India over the weekend – part of global reductions by new owner Elon Musk – severely depleting its engineering and product staff in a potential growth market. The company employed just over 200 people in India, and the cuts left it with just about a dozen staff, people familiar with the matter said, asking not to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter. India is a key growth engine for global internet companies such as Twitter, Meta Platforms Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google, which are relying on its large potential pool of new online users. Yet the companies are also facing increasingly strict content regulations aimed at reining in big tech firms in the country. About 70% of the jobs cut in India were from the product and engineering team which worked on a global mandate, one of the people said. Positions were also slashed across functions including marketing, public policy and corporate communications, the people said. Globally, San Francisco, California-based Twitter reduced its headcount by about half or roughly 3,700 workers. Also Read | Twitter didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

Aurangabad: Stressing the importance of dialogue in Parliament-related activities, Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar on Tuesday said the decision on the new Parliament building could have been taken through talks with political parties. The senior NCP leader was speaking in a 'Sauhard Baithak' (meeting to foster amity) at Mahatma Gandhi Mission University in Maharashtra's Aurangabad. There has been a general decline in engaging in dialogue for parliamentary activities, he said. Earlier too, he said, political parties had differences but they tried to resolve them through dialogue. "I didn't understand why there was a need for a new Parliament building. The decision about it could have been taken through dialogue (with political parties). But I learnt about the new building through newspapers," he said. As many as 20 Opposition parties stayed away from the inauguration of the new Parliament building which was done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 28. The Congress accused the PM of treating the inauguration like a "coronation". Without naming anyone, Mr Pawar said, "Key persons from the government do not regularly attend Parliament sessions. If the head of the government comes to Parliament someday, that day feels different. Parliament is above all. If importance is not given to it, people's perception (of it) also gets impacted." Calling himself the leader of a "small" political party in Parliament, Mr Pawar said, "We (opposition) demanded to invite th...
