Bridgetown, <keyword id="22233463" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BCCI-President" source="keywords">BCCI President</keyword> <keyword id="20311044" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Roger-Binny" source="keywords">Roger Binny</keyword> says it will take another two-three years for the Indian <keyword id="21705462" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="T20-team" source="keywords">T20 team</keyword> to "come into its own" again given the void that <keyword id="19907934" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Virat-Kohli" source="keywords">Virat Kohli</keyword> and <keyword id="19899523" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rohit-Sharma" source="keywords">Rohit Sharma</keyword>'s international retirement from the format will create. Rohit, 37, and Virat, 35, called it quits from T20Is after playing pivotal roles in India's second world triumph in the format here. The 2007 champions defeated South Africa by seven runs in a high-voltage summit clash on Saturday to end their painful 11-year wait for an ICC trophy. "There is so much talent in the IPL. Lot of cricketers are coming through but it is going to take some time to bridge the gap (after retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from T20Is)," Binny said in a media interaction after the final. "They have contributed so much. It's going to take time. We will probably see in the next two-three years, the team coming back into it's own without them," he added. Rohit leaves T20Is with 4231 runs from 159 matches, having made five hundreds and 32 fifties. In 125 T20I matches, Kohli scored 4188 runs at an average of 48.69 with 122 being his highest. That was his only T20 century - coming against Afghanistan in September 2022. Both will continue to be active in the IPL and the ODI and Test formats internationally. Binny, who was a part of the 1983 ODI World Cup title win, said that maiden World Cup elevated India from underdogs to contenders and it has not changed thanks to the large talent pool. "In 1983, we went as underdogs. But after that, that tag was taken off us. Whenever we go into World Cup, people expect India to win. No one is taking us lightly anymore," he said. The just-concluded mega-event marks the end of head coach Rahul Dravid's tenure. Speculation is rife that former opener Gautam Gambhir will take over from him but Binny chose to keep mum on the matter. "Nothing concrete has come yet. Gautam Gambhir has a lot of experience. He has worked with teams. He played Test matches, ODIs, T20s. Let's see," he said.

Meanwhile, 34% still prefer petrol vehicles, indicating the ongoing transition in <keyword id="21046358" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="consumer-preferences" source="keywords">consumer preferences</keyword>. Hybrid vehicles, acting as a bridge, are likely to boost familiarity with green technology, paving the way for broader EV adoption in the future. According to Saket Mehra, Partner and Auto &amp; EV Industry Leader at Grant Thornton Bharat, automakers must focus on both hybrid and electric solutions to match changing demands. This year’s festive season—typically accounting for 30-40% of annual sales—is critical, yet high inventory levels, weather impacts, and regional elections have slowed growth. Utility (UV) and sports utility vehicles (SUVs) continue to dominate, now representing 65% of passenger vehicle sales with 13% growth year-over-year. Despite a slow start to FY25, the popularity of SUVs and UVs reflects a strong preference for versatile vehicles. Yet, automakers are grappling with inventory challenges, with 7.9 lakh units worth ₹79,000 crore in stock as of September 2024. To tap into festive demand, nearly 90% of consumers expect substantial discounts. The survey also highlights a shift in consumer priorities, with a heightened focus on <keyword id="20961985" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vehicle-safety" source="keywords">vehicle safety</keyword> overtaking traditional factors like design or performance. Subscription models are also gaining traction, indicating a broader transformation in how Indians perceive mobility solutions.

This chain of limestone shoals, stretching 48 kilometers between Rameswaram Island in India and Mannar Island in Sri Lanka, has long been a subject of fascination. The ESA image provides stunning detail of the bridge's structure, sparking renewed interest in its geological history and cultural significance. ESA’s image reveals a stark contrast between the deep blue waters of the Indian Ocean and the lighter hues marking the shallow regions around the Ram Setu. Here, the seabed dips to a depth of only 1 to 10 meters, suggesting a submerged landmass slowly revealing its secrets. Exposed sandbanks further bolster this theory. The picture also highlights the bridge's ecological importance. Mannar Island on the Sri Lankan side boasts thriving ecosystems protected within a national park. The island itself is connected to mainland Sri Lanka by modern bridges. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Myth and science collide" comment="subhead" text="Myth and science collide">Myth and science collide </cmsannotation>Legends surrounding the Ram Setu claim it was built by Lord Rama, a revered Hindu deity, with the help of his monkey army. However, scientific evidence suggests a more natural origin story. Geologists believe the shoals are remnants of a landmass that once connected the Indian subcontinent to Sri Lanka. Historical records seem to support this theory, indicating that the bridge was indeed a traversable land route until the 15th century, when powerful storms gradually submerged portions of the path. On the Indian side, Rameswaram Island, also known as Pamban Island, beckons with its historic temples and vibrant culture.

A recently-included aspect in TV broadcast, sign language commentary has added a much-needed flavour of watching a cricket match on TV for those who are deaf or are from the hard-of-hearing community. And it includes players and fans alike who would set themselves up in front of TVs to follow the Indian team but would not get to live the experience like a regular fan, who would go through the upheavals of the game and commentary while also being educated. In order to make this happen, official streaming partner Disney+ Hotstar and official broadcast partner Star Sports teamed up with <keyword id="21682027" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="India-Signing-Hands" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="India Signing Hands" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="India Signing Hands">India Signing Hands</keyword> to provide ball-by-ball for ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 updates through the presence of a translator on the live stream. The audio descriptive feed was complemented by voice-over technology for specific pages, which rendered text and images into a speech output, enabling visually impaired users to easily navigate. "Seeing Team India lift the trophy was an unforgettable moment, and the ISL feed made it even more special for us. We felt truly included in the celebration and enjoyed every match played by our team," said Needa Shaikh, the captain of <keyword id="22472720" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mumbais-deaf-cricket-team" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Mumbai's deaf cricket team" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Mumbai's deaf cricket team">Mumbai's deaf cricket team</keyword>. "This is the first time that we could enjoy the thrilling victory by being in sync with the tension during those last 3-4 overs. We kept up with the commentary and the atmosphere in the stadium and shed tears of joy when we won," she said, adding that the commentary made her feel 'included'. Another player, Nikhil Chanchlani says understanding technical details through commentary will help players like him to improve their game. "I have played in state level tournaments and deaf cricket championships, but our matches normally don't have any commentary as the crowd is also typically deaf," he said. "I feel like after knowing the technical details of international cricket, it has improved my understanding of professional cricket as a batsman," said the left-handed batter Chanchlani. Even if they lived the experience of watching India become T20 world champions for a second time through commentary, it still was something they had not felt before. "During the final, the famous catch from Surya Kumar Yadav, I could see the entire crowd making noise and the commentators' excitement only due to the interpretation and that doubled my excitement," said Yadnesh Maladkar, a fan. Among the interpreters is Mansi Shah, who said having a TV at home did not serve the purpose due to the lack of such interpretation. But for her father, Mahesh, who is also deaf yet a cricket fan, there is now a sense of belonging and equality. "It was liberating to watch independently, without relying on someone to explain the action. This step not only deepened my connection to the game but also gave me a sense of belonging and equality," he said.

The allegations came in response to a petition filed in Maryland federal court by the firms, which are both based in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/singapore-workers-can-request-shorter-weeks-and-work-from-home-2024-4">Singapore</a>, asking for their liability in the bridge disaster to be capped at $43.6 million. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott and the city council are contesting the petition, asking for no limit to be enacted. Their filing contains a litany of allegations blaming Synergy Marine and Grace Ocean for negligence and reckless management that resulted in the bridge's collapse on March 26. "Reporting has indicated that, even before leaving port, alarms showing an inconsistent power supply on the Dali had sounded," the court petition reads. "The Dali left port anyway, despite its clearly unseaworthy condition." City officials further accused those in charge of the Dali of deploying an "incompetent crew" that was "inattentive to its duties," lacked proper training, and "failed to comply with local navigation customs." A spokesperson for Synergy Marine said it would be inappropriate to comment on ongoing court proceedings. Grace Ocean did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider.

The <keyword id="21412636" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="key-bridge" source="Orion">Key Bridge</keyword>'s collapse has deeply wounded Baltimore's economy, cutting off maritime traffic to and from the city's port — the ninth-largest in the US — and disrupting trucking routes.
