[ad_1] NEW DELHI: India’s white-ball captain Rohit Sharma has finally addressed questions surrounding his future in One Day Internationals (ODIs). In a candid conversation with senior journalist Vimal Kumar, Rohit made it clear that while he’s not done just yet, he’s very aware of when to walk away. The veteran opener emphasised his evolved approach to batting, saying, "I used to play the way I used to, I took my time.Earlier, I would play 30 balls in the first 10 overs and be at just 10 runs. But if I play 20 balls now, why can't I score 30, 35, or even 40 runs? And on the days when I get going, hitting the accelerator, scoring 80 runs in the first 10 overs isn't bad at all. That's how I think now."Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE […]

[ad_1] PM Modi and JD Vance (File photo) NEW DELHI: PM Modi is learnt to have told US vice-president J D Vance on Friday, "If they (Pakistan) do anything more, our response will be far stronger" when the latter called him up to convey what US intelligence had gathered about Pakistan's intent to massively escalate hostilities.If Vance had expected that his dire message about the offensive intent of a nuclear-armed country would get Modi to lower the ante, he was mistaken.So, when Pakistan indeed widened the theatre a few hours later, India struck back by carrying out precision strikes at multiple PAF airbases, laying bare its air defence.The successful execution of Modi's intent was what forced Pakistan to approach India for pausing hostilities. India agreed, but after laying down its 'if you don't act, we don't act; but if you […]

[ad_1] India's precision strikes severely damage Pakistan's Nur Khan air base (ANI) NEW DELHI: Deep precision airstrikes with BrahMos supersonic missiles and other standoff weapons on several crucial airbases in Pakistan early Saturday proved to be decisive in the escalating hostilities between the two nations, causing the US to step in and push for a truce.India agreed as it had achieved its three main objectives — political, military and psychological — according to govt sources.The major hit on the Nur Khan-Chaklala airbase at Rawalpindi, which caused some damage to the infrastructure there, was particularly significant since it is located close to HQ of Pakistan’s Strategic Plans Division, which handles its nuclear arsenal, and is barely 10km from Islamabad.Pakistan’s nuclear warheads, estimated to be around 170 like India, would be spread around the country in secret locations. However, decapitation of its […]
