Sai Kishore bowled just three balls to Krunal Pandya but that small passage spread across 13th and 15th over of Royal Challengers Bengaluru's innings revealed the big strides the Gujarat Titans spinner has taken as a T20 bowler. In the second ball of the 15th over, Sai Kishore bowled a back-of-the-length delivery that elicited a tame return catch from a clueless Krunal. It required a second viewing to realise that Sai Kishore had delivered a carrom ball — an unusual entity in a left-arm spinner's world. But not really for Sai Kishore as he always chases something novel to stay ahead of the curve. His bowling is an extension of his life where he is a seeker — of his spiritual inner self, new places and people and fresh experiences. True to that trait, the 28-year-old has been practicing the carrom ball over the last few seasons but it was the first time he unleashed it in a real match.

In late February, the Dutch technology investor agreed to buy Just Eat Takeaway for 20.3 euros per share to create a "European tech champion" of food delivery. The price should be 56.1 euros per share based on BDL's fair value calculation, it said in the report published on its website. BDL holds 2.04% in Just Eat Takeaway, according to LSEG data. This price was calculated by analysing enterprise value-to-gross transaction value (EV/GTV) and EV-to-EBITDA multiples in past Just Eat transactions, other transactions in the sector and for listed peers, BDL said.

Devang Shah, Head, Fixed Income, Axis MF, says RBI has infused close to Rs 8 lakh crore of liquidity including the announcement on OMOs and this liquidity injection is very positive and near-term liquidity problems may get sorted out. In fact, Shah’s assessment is that from here till September, we will see a positive banking liquidity and a positive durable liquidity to upwards of around Rs 2-3 lakh crore. Now they will probably have to start looking at some bit of absorption of liquidity because liquidity should be in a decent surplus. We are looking at surplus liquidity coming into the system for the first time by the Reserve Bank of India. Do you think markets should now stop complaining? There is surplus liquidity in the system. Devang Shah: You are absolutely right. Last year, after the entire forex intervention and significant currency leakage, durable liquidity as well as banking liquidity, both had turned negative. If you look across from June to September 2024, post the RBI dividend declaration, we were in significant surplus liquidity. From there, we went into a massive deficit liquidity. Again, thanks to all the proactive measures which RBI collectively put together including tools like CRR, VRR, OMOs, as well as this entire facility on FX, RBI must have infused close to Rs 8 lakh crore of liquidity including the announcement on OMOs.

Karnataka police apprehended a six-member gang responsible for the daring robbery at the Nyamati branch of the State Bank of India (SBI) in Davangere, from which 17.7 kg of gold was stolen. The heist, which took place on October 28, 2024, had left authorities puzzled for months. However, a series of coordinated operations and cross-state investigations led to the breakthrough.

«If VAT tax is included in the reciprocal tariffs, then first of all the level of the tariffs obviously is going to be much higher and the countries that will be most affected are also going to be different,» says Jahangir Aziz, JPMorgan. Big night tonight for us here in India. The Trump administration is set to unveil the reciprocal tariffs. Tell me, will US reciprocal tariffs directly match other country tariffs or will the scope be wider you think? And which countries, according to you, are likely to get impacted the most? Jahangir Aziz: So, we are looking at various variations of this. So, one of them obviously is that it just matches the reciprocal tariffs, in which case the countries that will be most affected are countries like India and Brazil, who have very large tariffs differential with the US. But at the same time, there is a sense that the reciprocal tariffs will not just be about tariffs differential, but it will also include what the US administration calls non-tariff barriers.
