Cricket legends
India's T20 World Cup victory is a fitting tribute to cricket legends Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and coach Rahul Dravid. The win is especially meaningful for Sharma, who led the team to victory after a disappointing loss in the 50-over World Cup final. The victory also showcased the skills of India's bowlers, including Hardik Pandya, who experienced a moment of redemption after a tough season in the IPL. Overall, the win was a moment of poetic justice and heartwarming triumph for the team, BBC reports.
Food Safety
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has revoked the manufacturing licenses of 111 spice producers across India. This action was taken due to concerns about the quality and safety of the products, Times of India reports.
Hurricane aftermath
Team India is stuck in Barbados due to a hurricane, which has led to a curfew and shut down of the airport until further order and curfew are imposed in the city, Economic Times reports.
