Rohit and KL Rahul are considered to be the favorites for the role. During a discussion on India News, Mohammad Azharuddin was asked who he sees as the next skipper who can take the Indian team forward for the next 5-6 years. He responded:...
The good news for the Men in Blue is that Rohit Sharma is back as captain having missed the South Africa one-dayers due to a hamstring injury. India had a torrid time against the Proteas, going down 0-3 in the three-match series. In contrast, the West Indies got the better of England 3-2 at home in a T20I series before heading to India. A glance at the head-to-head record between the teams in matches played in India hints that neither side has had the upper hand....

South Africa, who many would have expected to make it to the last four were eliminated in the round robins. Upsets like these are not uncommon in sports and in the T20 format, the probability of that goes up. Now, the question is whose world cup is it anyway? And does any of the team possess any significant advantage over the rest of the field. Having watched each and every game and analyzed quite a significant amount of data, I would say that at this stage, it’s still very competitive and it could be anybody’s crown....

While the bucks have stopped flowing in at places like Citigroup and Merrill Lynch, the buck seems to have stopped short of the CEO’s desk—at least until this week. Today, the positions of Citigroup CEO Chuck Prince and Merrill Lynch CEO Stanley O’Neal seem to be tenuous—in large part because these managers brought in to clean up the post-1990s-bubble mess succumbed too readily to the siren call of this decade’s credit bubble....
The AP was informed of the decision by a U.S. official familiar with the situation. The decision to uphold the firing was made by Adm. Mike Gilday, the chief of naval operations. It was a reversal from the Navy’s recommendation in April, that Crozier be reinstated. The AP also reported that the investigation into Crozier was conducted by Adm. Robert Burke and supported by Gilday. Crozier was terminated from his position after he wrote a letter–which was leaked to the media–concerning the coronavirus spread on the ship during a deployment in the Pacific in March and the dangerous consequences that could result if the crew wasn’t evacuated....
Only one vaccine is still scarce nationwide: PCV-7, or Prevnar, which prevents pneumococcal pneumonia and meningitis. Several recent shortages occurred because the only companies making certain vaccines, including those for varicella and MMR, pulled them off the market or stopped production to reformulate them. Not Prevnar: its makers are working weekends trying to fill back orders. The drug company Wyeth has been overwhelmed by requests for the vaccine since its introduction in 2000....
The most recent version of the National Defense Spending Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (NDAA) was released Tuesday, the same day President Joe Biden had a video call with Putin. The House of Representatives’ last version of the spending bill, from mid-October, included a section on the “imposition of sanctions with respect to Nord Stream 2.” Those sanctions pertaining to Nord Stream 2, which runs from Russia to Europe, were not included in the updated version of the proposed bill, according to an explanatory statement from the House Committee on Rules....
In a clever study tracking how the brain responds to violent film scenes, scientists at Columbia University found a very specific effect: diminished activity in the region of the brain that controls reactive aggression. In other words, watching gruesomely violent images might not incite violence in someone who lives peacefully in a Buddhist monastery. But in real life–where drivers cut you off, colleagues undermine you, friends tease you and countless other provocations ensue–the loss of control over a reflexively aggressive reaction can have dangerous consequences....

After an impressive midweek showing which saw Manchester United record a resounding 5-0 win over RB Leipzig, the team returned to its inconsistent self against Mikel Arteta’s side. In the end, a reckless penalty given away by Paul Pogba was expertly converted by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to give Arsenal their first win at Old Trafford in 14 years. Manchester United have improved in recent weeks, but the frustration with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side is their lack of consistency....
