India’s bowling attack, by far the best on display in the tournament, came so hard and so relentlessly at South Africa after the batsman had done their job that the result was a one-sided thrashing by 243 runs. At the very start of the game, it became clear that this Eden Gardens pitch was on the slow side. It was not as though the ball was stopping and coming, but clearly, this was a surface where you had to allow the ball to come to you before choosing your stroke, rather than going at the ball with hard hands. Rohit Sharma has taken on the responsibility of being the aggressor and putting the pressure on the bowlers early on and he continued in that vein, racing off to 40 off 24 before holing out to mid-off.

Indian auto industry, green sustainable mobility a.k.a. carbon neutrality is the new buzzword as companies go beyond electric vehicles. Passenger vehicle launches in the alternative fuel space — hybrids, CNG, electric have seen a sharp increase with traditional fuel vehicles experiencing a relative slowdown. The industry saw 24 CNG PV launches this fiscal as compared to 14 in FY 20. In the case of electric, there were 31 PV launches as compared to 7 models in FY20. Strong hybrids have also seen increased traction, with sales outpacing electric for the first time in last 2 months. Petrol model launches at 111 were lower by 21% and diesel at 54 down by 61%, according to Jato Dynamics. Even though EVs will play an important role, there seems to be a co-existence of various technologies with a substantial share of NEVs (new energy) and ICE (internal combustion engines) vehicles, say leading car makers. Maruti Suzuki senior executive director Shashank Srivastava expects 15% of the portfolio for the country's largest carmaker to be electric by 2030, with 25% strong hybrids and 60% a mix of petrol, CNG, biofuels and flexi-fuels.

A Bollinger band is indicating that Nifty may rally in the Diwali week but two Doji candles formed in the last days do not inspire confidence towards an outright uptrend early next week, says Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services. Edited excerpts from a chat: In the last 9 out of 10 instances, Nifty has given positive returns in the period between Navratri and Muhurat trading. Do you see history repeating this time as well? What would be your targets for the week? Prospects of the same are supported by a narrowing Bollinger band and the fact that we are coming off a low base after a steep and sustained downtrend from a record peak. FIIs’ shorts in index futures being at an extreme position also support the prospects of a push higher. But even as we continue to look for 19,420 as the immediate target, the two dojis in the last two days do not inspire confidence towards an outright uptrend early next week. The inability to float above 19,230 initially, could point towards this but dips towards 19,180 or slightly below could augur well towards resuming upsides. Mid and smallcap bounced back and outperformed. Do you think that the recent correction has made the rally stronger in the broader market?

Bananas, a widely cultivated and consumed fruit globally, come in over 1,000 varieties, with the most common being the Cavendish banana, which makes up nearly half of the world's banana production. However, the future of the Cavendish banana is under threat, raising concerns among scientists. A fungal disease known as Panama disease Tropical Race 4 (TR4) was initially identified in Taiwan in 1990 and has since spread to over 20 banana-producing nations, including countries in Central and South America, as reported by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Once TR4 infects farmland, it becomes a formidable challenge to manage.
