post-study visa which allows graduates to stay on and work for up to two years after their degree course as part of efforts to curb soaring legal migration figures despite strong opposition from some of his ministers, a report claims on Sunday. According to 'The Observer' newspaper, Sunak is facing a Cabinet revolt over plans to scrap the Graduate Route scheme, the definitive factor for choosing UK universities among Indian students who have topped the tally of these post-study visas since it was launched in 2021. Downing Street is said to be considering «further restricting or even ending» the route despite the independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) declaring it was not being abused and that it should continue as it helps UK universities make up for financial losses on the domestic front. «Sunak is now finding himself caught between the demands of right-wingers with one eye on the Tory leadership and Conservative moderates who fear the consequences of a lurch to the right on the party's reputation and election chances,» claims the newspaper, quoting sources close to ministers who oppose scrapping the visa.

Arjun Tendulkar had to exit the over prematurely after Nicholas Pooran hammered him for consecutive sixes during his debut match in the Indian Premier League 2024 on May 17. Tendulkar, stepping in for the rested Jasprit Bumrah, had a solid start, conceding only ten runs in his initial two overs. However, his second spell posed a challenge as Pooran, in blistering form, dispatched him for massive sixes that soared into the stands at the Wankhede Stadium. Surprisingly, Tendulkar abruptly left the field, grappling with muscle cramps induced by the high-intensity bowling. Consequently, with Tendulkar unable to complete his over (0/22 in 2.2 overs), Naman Dhir was called in to deliver the remaining deliveries of the 15th over. Earlier in his spell, Tendulkar managed to trap Marcus Stoinis leg before wicket in his second over, but the decision was overturned by the third umpire upon review. Despite the bowling change, Pooran's aggression remained unchecked as he greeted Dhir with a colossal six followed by a boundary towards deep extra cover.
