Jaiswal - the cherry on top
SHORTLY after 10.00 AM on the rained out opening day, Yashasvi Jaiswal strode out from the dressing room to the far side of the ground. Kitted up, the southpaw was going to have a hit in the indoor practice facility inside the sprawling KSCA campus.

Even as his thin six-foot frame disappeared beyond the sight screen and into the bowels of the facility in the heart of the city, it wasn't hard to come to grips with Rohit Sharma's assessment of his opening partner a day before the Test. "The guy has got real talent," the skipper said. "He has got the game to play in all sorts of conditions. Obviously, very new to international cricket, so it's very hard to judge right now. But he has got all the ingredients for success at this level."

Merrily we roll along!

MAN has always had a fascination with the wheel. That timeless symbol has revolutionised transport, machinery, and every aspect of our lives. Not surprisingly, it has become a strong cultural metaphorical symbol of the circle of life of time, of progress, and much much more. Not surprisingly, it has found its way into play in the form of the hoop; after all, play is merely a reflection of life and thinking.

WHAT'S MODERN ABOUT MODERN ART?

HERE'S nothing modern about Modern Art. Every artist knows this much — that there are only two types of art that ever exist in the normal world outside the confines of the art literate one. One is, of course, the Mona Lisas and the breathtaking landscapes that never cease to amaze with their perfection. The other is the undecipherable Modern Art, the stuff that shows in exclusive art galleries and sells for vulgar jaw-dropping amounts at art auctions.

RESTRICTING REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM

ANYONE with a feminist lens - and many with an anti-feminist lens, too - in Tamil Nadu knows a shadow ban on emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) has been in place here for a long time, possibly ever since they became over-the-counter drugs in India in 2005.

Steph's West Indies that dared to ask 'why not?'

THERE is a nice little cafe at the entrance of the ICC Academy in Dubai, which is a walking distance from the global cricketing body's headquarters. It was the most usual place to spot international cricketers going in and out of the designated training facility for the ongoing T20 World Cup.

Chloe and South Africa in pursuit of a date with destiny

CHLOR Tryon was over the moon. After all, she had taken a stunner to dismiss Australian captain Meg Lanning at the packed Newlands Stadium in the 2023 T20 World Cup final. With a shortish ball from Marizanne Kapp on offer, Lanning had almost nailed a pull shot before Tryon sprinted from deep backward square leg to complete the catch. Such was the occasion that she roared her heart out facing the crowd who had turned the stadium into a South African party.
