“આજે, 22મી જુલાઈ આપણા ઈતિહાસમાં વિશેષ મહત્વ ધરાવે છે. 1947માં આ દિવસે જ આપણો રાષ્ટ્રધ્વજ અપનાવવામાં આવ્યો હતો. આપણા ત્રિરંગા સાથે સંકળાયેલી સમિતિની વિગતો અને પંડિત નેહરુ દ્વારા ફરકાવેલો પ્રથમ ત્રિરંગો સહિત ઇતિહાસમાંથી કેટલીક રસપ્રદ ગાંઠો શેર કરવી,” તેમણે કહ્યું.

તેમણે ઉમેર્યું હતું કે, “આજે, અમે સંસ્થાનવાદી શાસન સામે લડતા હતા ત્યારે આઝાદ ભારત માટે ધ્વજનું સ્વપ્ન જોનારા તમામની અદભૂત હિંમત અને પ્રયત્નોને યાદ કરીએ છીએ. અમે તેમના વિઝનને સાકાર કરવા અને તેમના સપનાના ભારતનું નિર્માણ કરવાની અમારી પ્રતિબદ્ધતાનો પુનરોચ્ચાર કરીએ છીએ.”

• Pant and Karthik should be in India’s T20 WC squad ahead of Kishan: Ricky Ponting
• Ponting has worked closely with Rishabh Pant at Delhi Capitals
• Ponting suggested India should include Pant and Karthik with Hardik

former Australia captain Ricky Ponting reckons that the Indian team management should pick Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik ahead of Ishan Kishan in the squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia.

Pant affirmed his status as a match winner in the white-ball format with his maiden ODI hundred against England in the third ODI of the recently concluded series. He is yet to find his rhythm in the T20Is.

As for Karthik, he earned a recall to the Indian squad after a very successful IPL season for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Karthik also performed well in the South Africa T20Is to justify his place in the team.

Ponting has worked closely with Rishabh Pant at Delhi Capitals and is well aware of his strengths, while the former Australia captain thinks veteran all-rounder Dinesh Karthik must also fill a spot in India’s middle-order.

“We have seen what Rishabh is capable of in 50-over cricket and I know absolutely what he is capable of in the T20 game,” Ponting said on the latest episode of The ICC Review.

The United States House of Representatives approved Indian-origin Congressman Ro Khanna’s amendment to the National Defence Authorization Act (NDAA) on Thursday, paving the way for an India-specific waiver for the CAATSA sanctions.

The amendment was passed by voice vote as part of an en bloc amendment during floor consideration of the NDAA. While it doesn’t equal a decision on Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA), it urges the administration to grant a waiver.

Afterwards, Ro Khanna said that it will further strengthen US and India defense partnership.

“There is no relationship of greater significance to US strategic interests than the US-India partnership. My bipartisan NDAA amendment marks the most significant piece of legislation for US-India relations out of Congress since the US-India nuclear deal,” he said.

The Khanna amendment will affirm the United States’ partnership with India and urge the Biden administration to use their authority to provide India with a CAATSA waiver to help deter aggressors like China.

Taapsee Pannu said in a recent interview that while industry insiders probably consider her among the top 2-3 heroines currently, the masses don’t.

Taapsee Pannu is awaiting the release of her upcoming sports drama Shabash Mithu. The film sees Taapsee play legendary Indian cricketer Mithali Raj in her official biopic, which charts Mithali’s journey in the world of cricket. The actor has come a long way from playing supporting roles to headlining big films over the course of her career. However, Taapsee herself feels she isn’t quite there yet, at least in the ‘minds of the masses’. Also read: Taapsee Pannu jokes she almost forgot she’s an actor

Speaking on RJ Stutee’s show Aur Batao, Taapsee said she doesn’t feel ‘very settled with’ the fact that she is headlining films now. “Every time, I think if (audiences) don’t come (to the theatres) next Friday, people will say nobody is coming to watch because of you. I am not averse to the brutality of this industry because I have seen it. I can headline a film, the industry tells me this now because they give such films to me and pay me that much amount of money that says she will be the driving force of the film,” she said.

The actor then added that despite her box office successes, masses do not associate her with the top actors in the country. She said, “I still feel like an underdog. If you ask a layman who are the top 2-3 heroines of the industry, I don’t think I’ll be in that list. But the people who know the number game, who know the amount of money invested on a certain actor and the returns they guarantee, they might take my name.”

HIGHLIGHTS

• The T20I series will start on Thursday, July 5
• Arshdeep Singh has earned his maiden ODI call-up
• Jos Buttler was earlier named as England’s ODI and T20I skipper

India and England are all set to lock horns in three T20Is and as many ODIs from Thursday, July 7 to Sunday, July 17.

Both teams have already named their respective squads to be captained by Jos Buttler and Rohit Sharma.

Buttler has a massive task ahead of him after replacing Eoin Morgan as the skipper of the Three Lions. Morgan retired from international cricket after the ODI series against the Netherlands. Buttler also led in the third ODI against the Dutch team after Morgan missed the match due to groin stiffness.

The series is also a chance for right-hander Harry Brook to show that he well and truly belongs at the highest level. Brook captained the England U19 team in the 2018 World Cup in New Zealand and recently, was excellent while playing for the Lahore Qalandars in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

As far as India are concerned, Rohit Sharma made a comeback after he missed the fifth Test due to issues related to Covid-19. Former national skipper Virat Kohli won’t be playing in the first T20I and will return for the last two matches of the series.

Arshdeep Singh has earned his maiden ODI call-up after his impressive performances in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Umran Malik will also be looking to make a mark after performing reasonably well in the T20I series against Andrew Balbirnie’s Ireland
