From a key player, PDP pushed to margins in 2024 Assembly polls

The fall in fortunes marks a notable decline for PDP, which had emerged as the single largest party in the 2014 polls, with 28 seats, and formed a coalition government with the BJP. In the 2024 Assembly polls, PDP could only secure three seats -- Kupwara in North Kashmir and Tral and Pulwama seats in South Kashmir. The party drew blank in its strongholds in Shopian, Anantnag and Kulgam district in South Kashmir. Even the PDP chief and former CM Mehbooba Mufti's daughter Iltija Mufti lost from the party's erstwhile stronghold Srigufwara-Bijbehara constituency.

Dropped catches at Dubai: Coach George explains why

HE last two group matches of the ongoing T20 World Cup at the Dubai International Stadium were vital for more than one reason. It had a future of six teams in the World Cup depending on the result of that match. However, for the fans watching from the stadium or their homes, the two matches will be remembered for the amount of dropped catches they witnessed. Whether it was Pakistan or England, both teams that eventually could not make it to the semifinals, were the culprits for dropping as many as six catches each. The Sharjah Cricket Stadium, the other venue of the tournament, has also witnessed many dropped catches, but it has not been as bad as the Dubai Stadium.
