WhatsApp Intuit cover bowling RR vs KKR IPL 2025 Playing 11: From Sanju Samson, Jaiswal, Parag to Varun, Rinku Singh, who will make the cut today?

The common theme in those defeats was how the seemingly powerful batting and bowling units of KKR and RR failed to fire. While the Rajasthan outfit might offer the excuse of playing on a Hyderabad shirtfront for the malfunction of their bowling unit, the Kolkata side do not have any such cover. It will also be a blot on stand-in skipper Riyan Parag who, at times, looked perplexed on the field about the decisions to be made. The Rahul Dravid-coached side will eye sharper and more intuitive leadership from Parag against KKR.

UPS Target security Trade President country Reliance pauses buying of Venezuelan oil after Trump 25% tariff

Reliance Industries Ltd. has paused further purchases of Venezuelan crude after US President Donald Trump authorized a 25% tariff on countries buying the South American country’s oil. India’s largest privately owned refiner is expected to take delivery of a cargo of Merey crude that’s currently en route from Venezuela, but additional buying has been put on hold, according to people familiar with the situation, who asked not to be identified because the matter is sensitive. Reliance secured waivers from the US last year to resume importing crude from Venezuela, and Kpler estimates the refiner has taken 6.5 million barrels since the start of the year. Trump’s executive order on Monday, however, will target any nation taking Venezuelan oil with “secondary” tariffs, with effect from April 2.

PM Modi is set to inaugurate the new Pamban bridge, India’s first vertical sea bridge, in Tamil Nadu on April 6, coinciding with Ram Navami, a significant Hindu festival marking the birth of Lord Ram. The inauguration is expected soon after PM Modi returns from his two-day visit to Sri Lanka on April 4-5. Constructed at a cost of Rs 535 crore, this ambitious engineering project was executed by Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL). Spanning just over two kilometres, the bridge replaces the old 1914-built bridge, which had become severely corroded after over a century of service and was closed in 2022. This new bridge is expected to enhance rail connectivity to Rameswaram, one of the most sacred sites in Hinduism, associated with the legend of Lord Ram's bridge to Lanka as told in the Ramayana.

markets COST UPS Reuters cover India to let mills export 1 million metric tons of sugar permitted for this year, sources say

India, the world's second-biggest sugar producer, in January set an export allowance of 1 million metric tons through September 2025, as both the government and the industry believed there was a surplus for overseas markets. Since then, industry groups have lowered their output forecasts for the current year, raising concerns about potential supply shortages and export restrictions. However, India has more than enough stocks to meet domestic consumption and ethanol requirements, which is why the government has decided that mills would be allowed to export sugar, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. «There is no reason to consider any restrictions on exports. The numbers suggest that we will have more than enough stocks throughout this year, and next year's production will anyway exceed this year's production,» one of the sources said.

ELSS) mutual funds stand out among other tax-saving instruments under Section 80C due to their unique combination of equity exposure, a short lock-in period, and potential for high returns. “Unlike the Public Provident Fund (PPF), which has a 15-year lock-in and offers fixed returns (currently around 7%-8%), ELSS funds have a much shorter lock-in of just 3 years and historically deliver average annualized returns of 10%-12%, higher in some cases,” said Adhil Shetty, CEO of Bankbazaar.com. “Since ELSS returns are market-linked and volatile in the short term, investing through SIP is wise. SIPs help mitigate market timing risk by averaging purchase costs during market highs and lows,” he added.
