Power sharing, political compulsion keep VCK with DMK-led bloc
The Statesman|November 09, 2024

Seventeen years is a long time; the ones born in 2008 are now stepping out of their adolescence, ready to embrace adulthood; in fact, it's one-third or one-fourth of the lifespan of an average human being. During this period, the world coped with numerous challenges like recession, conflicts, Covid pandemic, and adapted to new normals amidst multiple changes, but the one that has remained a constant is the Indian Premier League that kickstarts its 18th season with defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders locking horns with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Eden Gardens, in Kolkata on Saturday.
