Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant, who have been rested from the ODI leg, will play the T20Is. The squad also sees the return of veteran off-spinner R Ashwin, who hasn't featured in India's T20I side since the home series against New Zealand last November. After a long hiatus from the white ball group, Ashwin had made a comeback in the T20I World Cup last year but has not been a regular fixture in the side since, with injuries also playing a part in his exclusion His return will boost up the spin department that also has the Kuldeep, Ravi Bishnoi, Axar Patel and <keyword id="6359948" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ravindra-jadeja" source="Orion">Ravindra Jadeja</keyword>. IPL sensation Umran Malik, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson, who were a part of India's squad for the first T20I against England, don't find a place in the squad. The selectors have rewarded left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh after his impressive debut, including him in the seam bowling department along with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan and Harshal Patel. Having made his T20I debut in Ireland, Malik was also part of the recently concluded T20I series in England, which India won 2-1. In his lone outing in Nottingham, he conceded 1 for 56 off his four overs. On the other hand, took 2 for 18 in an impressive debut in the opening T20I, when he troubled England's openers with late swing. India are set to play three ODIs and five T20Is on the tour of the Caribbean.

India announce squad for West Indies T20Is; Kohli, Bumrah, Chahal miss out (Ld)

Former India batsman <keyword id="6363956" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="VVS-Laxman">VVS laxman</keyword> has backed India's present coaching staff to remain in charge until next the 2015 World Cup. The 39-year-old said undergoing wholesale changes just six months prior to the World Cup is not a good move. 
 "I am hoping the <keyword id="6354756" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="BCCI">BCCI</keyword> will stick to the support staff we had for the one-dayers till the World Cup. The tournament is only six months away so there isn't enough time to chop and change," Laxman said in an interview with ESPNcricinfo. 
 "I have worked with <keyword id="19692" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Ravi-Shastri">Ravi Shastri</keyword> in 2007 when we toured Bangladesh and he is a very positive person, immense knowledge of the game, he was himself a great leader for Mumbai and he captained India in one Test that India won convincingly. I am glad Bharat Arun and R Sridhar got their opportunity to coach at the highest level because they have a good track record at the India A and Under-19 level, and Sanjay Bangar because of his recent success with Kings XI Punjab." 
 
Laxman also gave his insights about India's mixed tour of England and said that important tours such as this will hold the players in good stead for the future. "I have always regarded tours of South Africa, Australia and England as important for a team to become better," he said. "I am sure the Indian players have learned, the way they bounced back showed a lot of character and definitely they will turn into much better players." 
 
Speaking about the current generation of Indian cricketers, Laxman said the players are keen to learn and this was visible during the England tour. 
 
"I know for a fact that players like [Virat] <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/virat-kohli/4001/25007">Kohli</a>, [Ajinkya] <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ajinkya-rahane/4001/32045">Rahane</a>, [​Cheteshwar] <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/cheteshwar-pujara/4001/4106">Pujara</a>, [Shikhar] <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/shikhar-dhawan/4001/28004">Dhawan</a> take a lot of pride in what they do in Tests and more so in overseas conditions. You've seen the way <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/murali-vijay/4001/4102">M Vijay</a> adapted to the Test series, he didn't play his natural game, played with a lot of controlled aggression. So they focus on Tests and I don't agree that they don't give enough emphasis to Tests." 
 
Laxman also opined that even though the ODI series win against England was a comprehensive one, India still needed to focus on their death bowling and the opening combination to become a force to reckon with. 
 
"In the T20 they gave away 50 runs in the last three overs, which is a lot, so I think these two issues are a problem. Also the way India start with their batting will be important because of two new balls and conditions suiting the fast bowlers," he said. "Luckily for India they are playing a tri-series before the World Cup and that too against the Australians in their own backyard. It will be a good experience for the players to get used to the conditions." 
 
Rahane, who replaced the injured <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/rohit-sharma/4001/4095">Rohit Sharma</a> in the ODIs had a good outing with 192 runs in four matches and many believe he can be a good bet to open the innings. Laxman, however, said the conditions in Australia are better suited to Rohit. "The wickets in Australia will suit him [Rohit]. He had a successful ODI series in 2007 when he was young and inexperienced. His style of batting will suit Australian conditions, so I will definitely go back to Rohit and have Rahane as a back-up but play him in the middle order."

Laxman Backs Coaching Saff, Wants Rohit To Open In World Cup

After an abysmal run in the 1-3 Test loss, the Indian team showed their true mettle in coloured clothing when they reversed the Test result, winning the rain-hit five-match ODI series 3-1. India's win in the ODI series against a side not known to be a force in the limited-overs encounter wasn't surprising given their superiority in the format. However, Twenty20 followers would feel that India's three-run loss against an eighth-ranked England side shouldn't be an ideal way to end a largely disappointing tour for India. 
 
Gocricket.com has analysed the individual performances of the Indian players in the five-match series and the one-off T20I. Here is the report card. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/rohit-sharma/4001/4095">Rohit Sharma</a>: 7/10 
 
Played responsibly in his only knock of the ODI series before injuring himself. One of the major positives in his 87-ball 52 at Cardiff was the restrained approach he showed while facing quality new-ball bowling. He was willing to bide his time in the middle and let a more enterprising partner, Ajinkya Rahane on this occasion, take charge. He was dismissed just before promising a bigger knock. A fit and in-form Rohit Sharma will auger well for Team India as the lead-up to the 2015 World Cup builds. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/shikhar-dhawan/4001/28004">Shikhar Dhawan</a>: 6/10 
 
His match-winning 97 not out looked the odd-one-out innings in the five matches he played (four ODIs, one T20I). More often than not, Dhawan repeated the same mistakes he made in the Tests – getting out to balls outside off stump and playing one shot too many after getting set. Dhawan was more looking to thump and muscle the ball instead of just timing it well. His unbeaten knock in the fourth ODI at Edgbaston showed why he is such a dangerous batsmen and oppositions will continue to target him. A player who <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/news/India-in-England-2014-Shikhar-Dhawan-Ajinkya-Rahane-camaraderie-augurs-well-for-India/articleshow/41610038.cms">feeds off success of another teammate</a>, Dhawan didn't make an effort to shield his weaknesses against the moving ball or his uncanny ability to gift wickets to non-threatening spin. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ajinkya-rahane/4001/32045">Ajinkya Rahane</a>: 8.5/10 
 
With 192 runs in four matches, Rahane was easily the batsman of the series. He showed that he has taken his limited-overs game up by leaps and bounds. Of course, the experience of doing well in the preceding Test series benefitted him. His maiden ODI ton, a classy 106 at Edgbaston, has given selectors the realistic option of using Rahane as a third opener in the 2015 World Cup <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/news/India-vs-England-2014-Ajinkya-Rahane-makes-amends-at-the-top/articleshow/41545757.cms">provided either Dhawan or Rohit fail</a>. India could have profited a lot more had he not fell after getting starts in his previous two knocks (a 47-ball 41 at No 4 and 56-ball 45 at No 1). 
 The fact that may go unnoticed is that he had the best strike rate among India's top-4 in the ODI series (93.8) and he hit six sixes in the four ODIs and one T20I, most by an Indian this series along with <keyword id="14587" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Suresh-Raina">Suresh Raina</keyword>. His fielding in the run saving positions was among the best one can see by an Indian in recent years, especially in the T20I where he took four catches. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/virat-kohli/4001/25007">Virat Kohli</a>: 3.5/10 
 Passing marks? Not quite. Indian <keyword id="1521" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Cricket">cricket</keyword> lovers would groan at the prospect of waiting till the last match of a more than two-and-a-half month tour to see a Kohli fifty. After a forgettable Test run, Kohli was expected to do a lot better in the ODIs, which he didn't as his 54 runs in three innings would suggest. Seemed to have got close to hitting some form with a neat 50-ball 40 in the third ODI at Trent Bridge but his dismissal in the fifth ODI to <keyword id="80896" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="James-Anderson">James Anderson</keyword> made it evident that he is still coming to grips with 'how to play the moving ball outside off stump' syndrome. 
 
In the run-feast of the T20I, Kohli - India's most prolific limited-overs run scorer since the 2011 World Cup came into his own. Despite his 41-ball 66, he failed to take the team across the finish line, something which he is so used to doing in ODIs. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/suresh-raina/4001/4059">Suresh Raina</a>: 8.5/10 
 Perhaps the best thing to have happened to the Indian team after the Test debacle was Raina, who was back for the ODIs and firing in all cylinders. His counter-attacking 75-ball 100 at Cardiff, hailed by many as one of India's best-ever overseas knocks in ODIs, set the tone for the series as well as giving assurance and belief to India bowlers to do well. Raina's close catching, especially the sharp take to get rid of <keyword id="9234" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Alastair-Cook">Alastair Cook</keyword> at gully, was inspiring. His role as a senior player in the current side was visible during his movement inside the circle, his applause of a fielder and by speaking a word of encouragement to an inexperienced bowler. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/Raina-draws-attention-with-performance-and-infectious-energy/Joshua-Nath/columnshow/41694007.cms">Raina's synergy on the field was infectious</a>, which lifted the atmosphere of the team. Technically, he played the short ball well and didn't show a glaring weakness with the bat. His off spin was more than handy as he took four wickets, one in each ODI, at an economy rate of just over four-and-a-half (4.68). 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ms-dhoni/4001/4057">MS Dhoni</a>: 8/10 
 
Needless to say, most of Dhoni's points are for his captaincy. In the first three ODIs, his bowling changes, field positioning and his reading of the game was astute and he didn't look like a captain who had a terrible team performance in the three previous international outings. Acknowledged the areas his side needs to improve on, especially death-overs bowling that was highlighted in the loss at Leeds and in the T20I at Edgbaston. En route the 3-1 series win, he became India's most successful ODI skipper with 91 victories. 
 As a batsmen, his 52 at Cardiff was the perfect foil for a marauding Raina at the other end. After not being required to bat in the third and fourth ODIs, he missed out in the fifth ODI and his habit of taking the match till the end keeping the bulk of big-hitting to himself backfired in the lone T20I, which allowed the hosts to eke out a three-run win. Increasingly, Dhoni needs more performers like Raina, Rahane and <keyword id="479464" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bhuvneshwar-Kumar">Bhuvneshwar Kumar</keyword>. Add to that an in-form Kohli, wicket-taking spinners and incisive new-ball bowlers and Dhoni has a team to beat in the 2015 World Cup. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ambati-rayudu/4001/31025">Ambati Rayudu</a>: 7.5/10 
 
Still isn't a finished product but made good use of the chances he got in the middle order - something that could would have been difficult to come by had Rohit not got injured. Rayudu scored fifties in each of the innings he got to bat in the ODIs, scoring 117 runs in all. Displayed a calm head on his shoulders at this level during his match-winning unbeaten 64 in the Trent Bridge ODI. While, two matches later, he frittered a brilliant chance to score a big one and threw his wicket away after getting to 53. Areas where he can improve – batting strike rate (81.81) and ground fielding, where he could be found a tad slow to move on the field. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ravindra-jadeja/4001/32004">Ravindra Jadeja</a>: 8/10 
 
Ravindra Jadeja the left-arm spinner was at his best in the ODIs. Barring the mauling he received from the hands of Joe Root in the final ODI at Leeds, Jadeja had excellent figures of seven for 106 at an economy rate of just under four in the ODIs. He was the chief benefactor of English batsmen trying to sweep and trying to hit out. As a batsmen, he did shine in a lone effort at Leeds - hitting a fighting 87 off 68 balls. Coming in at number seven and having a career-average of 35, in Jadeja, Dhoni has an able finisher, who comes under pressure of having to deliver each time. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ravichandran-ashwin/4001/26007">R Ashwin</a>: 7.5/10 
 
Led the slow-bowling attack well and revelled in the partnership with Jadeja against not the most adept players of spin. Ashwin's figures of three for 39 at Trent Bridge earned him the Man-of-the-Match award as he outfoxed the batsmen. Where every other bowler was being targeted by the English batsmen in the Leeds game, Ashwin put brakes on the scoring. He didn't try and overuse his variations. His seven wickets in four games at an average of 24 and an economy of less than 4.50 is encouraging for India. Ashwin needs to improve his ground fielding, running between the wickets and continue to take wickets in the middle overs in order to silence his detractors. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/bhuvneshwar-kumar/4001/25023">Bhuvneshwar Kumar</a>: 7.5/10 
 
The only Indian bowler to play all the Tests and ODIs on the tour, Bhuvneshwar is fast becoming Dhoni's go-to man. He troubled Alex Hales with an in-swinging ball and was hard to get away for the batsmen with the new ball. He commanded the respect of the England batsmen as he kept things tight and seldom wavered from the right channel – a series economy rate of 4.32 is testimony to that. After a long tour and a truckload of overs, this 24-year-old will welcome the month-long rest. He took five wickets for 134 runs in the four ODIs. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/mohammed-shami/4001/30030">Mohammed Shami</a>: 8/10 
 
The most improved bowler since the Tests, Shami showed why he was touted as India's future strike-bowler when he made his Test debut last year. He felt at home playing the ODIs, ran in with a positive attitude and looked to take wickets at all times - something which wasn't quite visible in the Test series. His speeds were up there and he got the ball to move late. Shami was easily the best bowler in either side with eight wickets with a best of three for 28 at Edgbaston and a series average of a wicket every 19 runs and 24 balls. His economy rate too came down to 4.77 in the series, a marked improvement over his career record. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/mohit-sharma/4001/26024">Mohit Sharma</a>: 5/10 
 <keyword id="46772" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Mohit-Sharma">Mohit Sharma</keyword> did well in the two ODIs he played but couldn't get a breakthrough as he gave away 35 runs in his nine overs before missing out on the final two matches due to injury. He got the ball to jag away from Cook and tied the opening batsmen down. Also, the Chennai Super Kings and Haryana medium-pacer got the odd ball to bounce more than expected. Mohit came back in the T20I but got hit for plenty as his death bowling skills were tested to the core while being pasted by Eoin Morgan and Ravi Bopara for 21 runs in an over in Edgbaston. The 24-year-old still needs to do more in order to give selectors the hint that he is one of India's fast bowling options. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/umesh-yadav/4001/28013">Umesh Yadav</a>: 3/10 
 
Umesh did little to stake claim in the ODI playing XI as was largely erratic in the one match he played, giving away 46 runs in his six overs. His only bright spot was the dismissal of Hales, beating him for pace on a short delivery. Pace is fine in the early 140s, but he needs to get the ball to move both ways to make an impact. And most importantly, he needs to hit the right line and length repeatedly. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/dhawal-kulkarni/4001/31006">Dhawal Kulkarni</a>: 3/10 
 
Some may argue that he got a raw deal after playing just one match, in which he went wicketless and didn't trouble the batsmen. His speeds were up there in the high 130 kmph and hit the 140 mark on more than couple of occasions. Uncertainty, although remains over whether he will be retained in the team for the series against West Indies.

India's Limited-Overs Report Card Of England

On Sunday in Ahmedabad, two teams in the bottom half of the Indian Premier League (IPL) points table clashed in a high-voltage contest. After being asked to bat first, <keyword id="19929032" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Gujarat-Titans" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Gujarat Titans" meta.hostid="83" meta.entityid="Gujarat Titans">Gujarat Titans</keyword> (GT) amassed a respectable total of 200 despite a slow start. However, a remarkable century from <keyword id="20257482" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Will-Jacks" source="keywords">Will Jacks</keyword>, backed ably by <keyword id="19907934" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Virat-Kohli" source="keywords">Virat Kohli</keyword>'s impressive stroke play helped <keyword id="21019173" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Royal-Challengers-Bengaluru" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Royal Challengers Bengaluru" meta.hostid="83" meta.entityid="Royal Challengers Bengaluru">Royal Challengers Bengaluru</keyword> (<keyword id="20282652" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="RCB" source="keywords">RCB</keyword>) chase down the target in just 16 overs with nine wickets to spare. Jacks scored an unbeaten 100 off 41 balls while <keyword id="19899436" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="kohli" source="keywords">Kohli</keyword> hit 70 runs off 44 balls. In a rather rare display of batting prowess, Kohli even used the sweep shot against the spinners as if to prove a point. Over the last few matches, after his approach in the middle overs was criticized for not being able to accelerate against the spinners. Titans started using spin bowling early, and Kohli responded well by hitting consecutive sixes off the left-arm spinner Ravi Sai Kishore to show his clear intention. With yet another half-century this match, Kohli surpassed Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan to become the second player to hit the most half-centuries in a run-chase in the history of IPL. During the post-match interview, Kohli said, "All the people who talk about strike-rates and me not playing spin well are the ones talking about this stuff. For me, it's about winning the games for the team and there's a reason why I've done it for 15 years... I'm not quite sure that if you haven't been in that situation yourself, to sit and talk about the game in the box... people can talk about their assumptions, but those who have done day in and day out, they know what's happening and it's a kind of muscle memory for me now." Will Jacks, on the other end, started slow with only 30 runs coming from the first 23 balls that he faced. Then he went all out to hit 70 runs in the next 18 balls, hitting four sixes and a four off Rashid Khan to finish the game much earlier than anticipated. The English player hit a total of 10 sixes in his impressive performance. Remarkably, he took just six minutes to reach the century from his fifty. "It's amazing, he (Kohli) s a legend of the game and is someone everyone looks up to. To spend some time in the middle is a great feeling a huge learning curve. When I go away from the IPL, I'll learn so much from batting with him and playing with him. I'll try to take it all on board. I need to be a bit more adaptable at the beginning of my innings and get myself in a little bit quicker," Jacks said. Earlier, Shahrukh Khan scored 58 runs off 30 balls after being promoted in the batting order, while Sai Sudharsan remained unbeaten on 84 runs off 49 balls to help Gujarat Titans reach a total of 200 for three. The pair had an 86-run partnership from 45 deliveries. Sudharan scored his second consecutive fifty-plus runs with a total of eight boundaries and four sixes. "We wanted to step up for ourselves, play for our self respect. We can't be playing the way we played in the first half of the tournament, we wanted to see the ball as well, we are attacking way more, the fielders are putting their bodies on the line, that's the way we want to play," said Kohli. RCB, who are facing a challenging season, secured their third victory in 10 games while Titans endured their sixth defeat in 10 matches. The team led by Faf du Plessis appeared to have gained momentum as they achieved consecutive victories on Sunday.

"To sit and talk in the box...!" Kohli's message to critics as RCB wrecks GT in IPL Match 45

The riveting IPL 2023 season saw a fitting finale, giving fans a lot of exciting moments as they cheered for their favourite teams. The 2023 season saw plenty of incredible performances by domestic as well as international players. Here's a look at the top three players from each team this season.

Delhi govt warns liquor vends, clubs, hotels against selling liquor during lockdown

New Delhi, Apr 21 () An apex body of the alcoholic beverage makers has requested the Delhi government to waive off the licence renewal fee for the coronavirus lockdown period. In a letter to Excise Commissioner Ravi Dhawan, the Confederation of Indian Alcoholic Beverage Companies (CIABC) said that all wholesale and retail business is completely shut in Delhi from March 22 due to the COVID-19 lockdown. CIABC Director General Vinod Giri said in the letter, dated April 20, that no licence could be renewed or other sales/statutory requirements due on March 31 could be completed by license holders for the same reason. The Delhi Excise Department has now allowed extension of licenses till June 30, subject to the payment of license fees, label registration fees and others as applicable to them on pro-rata basis for three months in advance, Giri said. "During this period of lockdown, all operations are suspended and there are no sales. At the same time, as advised by the government, companies are paying salaries to staff. You can well understand the financial burdens on them," he said. "We earnestly urge your good self to reconsider the decision and waive renewal fees for the lockdown period. Alternately, the government may consider this payment as an advance to be adjusted against licence fees liabilities of the licence holders for the period after the lockdown is lifted," the letter stated. It stated that since companies are dutifully following government's instructions, they are at pains to understand why they should pay renewal fees for a period when there is no business on account of order from the government.

Alcoholic beverage makers request waiver of licence renewal fee for lockdown period

<ul><li>Due to inflation, theatres across the board have increased their prices for movie tickets and food and beverages by 5-20%.</li><li>However, their sales remain unaffected so far.</li><li>After almost two years of dry spell, multiplexes and single screens are seeing a strong recovery in 2022.</li><li>Despite costly tickets, consumer sentiment remains high as they flock to watch big-ticket movies on the silver screen with their loved ones.</li></ul>India’s cinema industry went through a severe drought due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Several pandemic-induced country-wide lockdowns forced theatres to shut down completely for more than 18 months, leading to a significant drop in revenue. However, after opening their doors to viewers in the second half of 2021, theatres are back to the pre-pandemic level of collections this month. Inox Leisure’s chief programming officer, Rajender Singh Jyala, said, “Last three months have been good for us. On average, we are clocking more than ₹1000-1500 crore every month.” Sharing which movies set the ball rolling at the multiplex chain this year, Jyala added, “Movies RRR and Gangubai Kathiawadi pushed the recovery. Before that, Kashmir Files and now with Bhool Bhulaiya 2, our footfalls and domestic ticket sales are at pre-pandemic level or even better.” With eagerly-awaited Bollywood movies such as Prithviraj, Brahmastra, and Lal Singh Chaddha slated to be released in the next three to four months, Jyala is optimistic that the momentum will continue this year. With its current progression, 2022 might turn out to be a golden year for the cinema industry, driven by home-grown content. Media consulting firm Ormax Media’s Partner, Gautam Jain, said, “The overall domestic <keyword id="25892" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="box-office" source="Orion">box office</keyword> collections have crossed the ₹4000 crore gross mark from January to April. This is the highest gross box office collection for January to April since 2018." "Given this growth trajectory and looking at the line-up of films slated to release this year, a gross box office collection of ₹12,000 crore looks possible, which would make this year the highest ever in terms of the gross box office [collection]," he further added. While INOX has reverted to the pre-pandemic level on all metrics, Ormax Jain said that the cinema industry’s overall footfalls and ticket sales are still lower than the pre-pandemic levels. Explaining why the gross box office revenue is higher than 2019 while footfalls continue to be low, Jain said, “The gross box office collections are higher due to the ticket prices being higher by 15-30% across languages. The ticket prices have increased even in south markets.” Cinema-lovers ignore soaring inflation, theatres remain unaffected As the cinema industry jumped past the first major roadblock that COVID-19 threw in its path, it faced another challenge this month – soaring inflation. The rise in inflation has affected all industries. The Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry has resorted to hiking its product prices and shrinking its products across its portfolio. Theatres have also raised their prices for movie tickets and food &amp; beverages (F&amp;B) by 5 to 20% in different parts of the country. However, audiences returning to the big screen, after being deprived of the theatrical experience for close to two years, seem to be indifferent to the price increase. “The rise in the prices of movie tickets and F&amp;B in line to cover inflation seems to be reasonable. Average ticket prices have risen by about 8 to 10% and over 15% in some states and cities. At the same time, the F&amp;B prices have increased between 5 to 10%. The pinch of price increase seems to be ignored by the patrons as both occupancy levels (irrespective of pricing) and the spending on F&amp;B increased during the period,” said consulting and advisory firm Deloitte India’s Partner, Chandrashekhar Mantha. He calls the steady recovery in this quarter a result of ‘revenge consumption trend,’ wherein consumers are trying to catch up on everything they missed out on in the last two years. The movie industry’s strong content pipeline has also struck a chord with the audience, further pushing the recovery. Multiplex chain INOX hasn’t felt the inflation’s impact either. While it has increased its movie ticket and F&amp;B prices by 5-10% across its 675 screens, its sales and footfall continue to go up. “The increase is not on that level wherein consumers can feel the pinch in their pockets. It is between 5 to 10%. In fact, spends on F&amp;B and the ticket sales that we're seeing is more than the pre-pandemic level,” Jyala told Business Insider India. On the other hand, Ormax Media’s Jain said that small budget films are feeling the impact of inflation and movie-goers are choosing to watch only big-ticket movies that seem to be worth their money. “Audiences are choosing to watch films that offer a theatrical big screen experience such as RRR or KGF Chapter 2 or spectacle films like Doctor Strange or Spider-Man or a collective experience Bhool Bhulaiya 2 or Saunkan Saunkne. Films that did not offer this, failed to get the audiences – for example Jayeshbhai Jordaar or Jersey," said Jain. "Apart from the ticket prices, since the audiences are aware of the eventual OTT premieres now and are exposed to OTT viewing, any film that does not fit the above criteria has failed to get a decent opening weekend as well,” he said. However, it is too soon to tell. Bollywood movies such as Jayeshbhai Jordaar or Jersey also failed to rake in numbers because they didn’t leave a good impression on critics. Regional movies jump ahead Regional movies like KGF 2.0, RRR and Pushpa have been reporting recording-breaking revenue collections at the box office, surpassing Hindi movies like Jayeshbhai Jordaar, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 so far. KGF 2.0 breached ₹800 crore revenue market in terms of net box office collection, which was slightly higher than RRR at ₹720 crore, revealed analytics and financial firm Elara Capital. The small to medium budget films in regional markets have reported a net box office collection of ₹50-55 crore each. On the other hand, recently released Hindi films have not been able to breach the ₹25-30 crore mark, which is a 50% less target than regional. “Relaxation of Average Ticket Price (ATP) cap in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana markets is one of the reasons for regional content reporting higher Box Office collections. The next big regional film release slated for June 3 – Vikram, may collect ₹150-175 crore net in terms of lifetime box office collection,” said Karan Taurani, Senior VP - Research Analyst, Elara Capital. A bright year ahead The rest of the year will see some major releases such as Akshay Kumar’s Prithiviraj, Aamir khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha, Varun Dhawan’s Jug Jug Jiyo, Ayushman Khurana’s Doctor G and Anek. From the regional markets, Virata Parvam of Rana Dugabatti, Rocketry: The Nambi Effect of R. Madhavan, Agent of Mamotty, Ravansura of Ravi Teja, the star-studded Vikram, are lined up for the second half of 2022. The Hollywood releases will further strengthen this pipeline. So, the year ahead looks bright for the movie exhibition industry. Analysts and movie exhibitors are confident about seeing a continued growth momentum in the next half.

Theatres cross pre-pandemic gross revenue collection despite pricey movie tickets

New Delhi, Jul 2 () The Delhi government has constituted a 12-member expert panel to suggest measures for economic recovery from the impact of coronavirus in the national capital, a statement said on Thursday. According to the government, the panel will do a comprehensive analysis and recommend measures to be initiated by various departments, autonomous bodies, local bodies and MCDs to help people and businesses during the pandemic. The panel, headed by Dialogue and Development Commission of Delhi (DDC) vice chairman Jasmine Shah, also includes commissioners of labour and industries departments, SDMC, special secretary of the environment department, and representatives of various industries --- trade, manufacturing, automobile, finance and hospitality. "The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a devastating economic impact... through this committee, we look forward to collaborating with key industry representatives and identifying specific additional measures that government agencies can take to shorten the process of economic recovery," Shah said in the statement. The panel will explore the possibility of renewal or automatic extension of existing licenses issued by departments and local bodies (labour license, shops and establishment registration, contractor license, nursing home registration) which stand expired after March 1 this year, by a general order till March 31, 2021, without penalty or interest. "This committee will also explore provisions of online license issuing systems or doorstep delivery of licensing systems. The key focus of the committee will be exploring economic reform measures that have the potential for revenue mobilisation for the Delhi government," it said. According to an order issued by Delhi Disaster Management Authority Special CEO Ravi Dhawan, the exception will be in categories such as excise, pollution control, fire where safety or revenue-related issues are involved. "While doing so, the interests of labour should be protected," it said. "The committee shall explore the requirement or necessity of new licenses or NOCs issued by the various departments to identify the licenses which can be abolished or replaced with only prior intimation. Similarly, the logical periodicity of renewal of licenses be studied and suggestions made on whether unnecessary annual renewals need to be amended or abolished," the order stated. The order also said that the committee should explore international best practices that mega-cities and countries around the world are taking to enable economic recovery form COVID-19. The panel will also examine and suggest penalties or fines or interest imposed on public or business due to COVID-19 pandemic, which can be waived to remove undue financial hardship. The expert committee might also take up any other issues and suggest innovative measures to help people and business in distress. On Wednesday, Delhi recorded 2,442 fresh coronavirus cases, taking the infection tally in the city to over 89,000, while the death toll from the disease mounted to 2,803, the authorities said. Recently, Delhi had eclipsed Mumbai as the city worst-hit by the pandemic in the country. BUN SRY

COVID-19: Delhi govt sets up expert panel to suggest measures for economic recovery

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the main cricket governing body in India has announced the squad for the upcoming World Cup 2019. Rishabh Pant and Ambati rayudu have not managed to make it to the 15-member squad. Vijay Shankar has been named as the second all-rounder in the squad along with Hardik Pandeya. Seven players who were there in the 2015 world cup squad have managed to make it to the 2019 team. Prithvi Shaw has also missed the spot despite promising performance in the home season earlier this year. India has included only three full-time fast bowlers in the squad. Two-full time spinners, Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav have been included in the playing 11. The BCCI in its press conference said that they have picket up the most balanced team for the upcoming world cup. The decision to select the 15-member squad is made following a BCCI meeting led by MSK Prasad, chief coach Ravi Shastri and captain Virat Kohli. The decision has been made public in a press conference by BCCI acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary in Mumbai. The Cricket World Cup will be held in England and Wales from May 30-July 14.

The selectors said that wicket keeping is an important component and in an extreme case where either Rishabh Pant or Dinesh Kartik are to be included in the playing 11 in absence of MS Dhoni, we would like Dinesh Kartik to play. India will begin its campaign on 5 June 2019 against South Africa. It will play Australia on 9 June followed by New Zealand on 13 June and Pakistan on 16 June. India's arch rival Pakistan is going to announce its team on 18 April.

<ul><li>Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal will be playing for the first time in a World Cup.</li><li>Ravindra Jadeja is likely to play all games, leaving Virat Kohli to pick one between Yadav and Chahal.</li><li>Kedar Jadhav is a batting all rounder who can be an alternative when India goes with three full-time bowlers.</li></ul>India is going into the 2019 Cricket World Cup, with three spinners - Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Yuzvendra Chahal - vying for what will almost certainly be a maximum of two available slots in the playing XI. For Yadav and Chahal, this will be the first opportunity to represent the country in a World Cup. The slots for other two specialist bowlers will be filled by the fast bowlers. Jasprit Bumrah, the best one day international (ODI) bowler in the ICC rankings, will spearhead the attack, while the second fast bowlers’ slot will be a toss up between Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammad Shami. Jadeja, the first choice So who does India select among its spinners? Jadeja looks set to be India’s frontline spinner based on his bowling record in England. Jadeja has taken 27 wickets from 17 games at an average of 27.00 and a strike rate of 31.50 - which makes him India’s joint-highest wicket taker in England (a record he shares with Madan Lal). Jadeja’s record in England also includes his performance in the 2013 Champions Trophy, where he topped the wickets chart. Jadeja also provides an X-factor with his allround abilities, particularly his exceptional fielding. Having represented the country on 151 occasions, including 8 times in the 2015 World Cup, he is by far India’s most experienced bowler. He is followed by Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, who has featured in 105 games. Kuldeep vs Chahal In different playing conditions (like in the 2018 Asia Cup) Kuldeep and Chahal would have both been included in the playing XI along with Jadeja. While the World Cup debutants have impressive ODI records, the faster wickets in England mean that captain Virat Kohli and head coach Ravi Shastri have the unenviable task of choosing between them.

Kuldeep also has a better record in the past year - he has taken 48 wickets from 24 matches at an average of 23.14 while Chahal has taken 29 wickets from 18 games at 28.72. On the other hand, Kuldeep had a forgetful time in the Indian Premier League, taking 4 wickets from 9 nines for the Kolkata Knight Riders before being dropped for the last 5 matches, while the legspin of Chahal fetched him 18 wickets from 14 games for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Rotation as an option Considering the tournament schedule - which <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/sports/cricket-world-cup-2019-will-be-played-in-the-same-format-as-the-one-in-1992/articleshow/69428438.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">replicates the format in the 1992 World Cup</a>, with all teams playing against each other in the league phase - India may also be tempted to rotate its three spinners based on the opponent and ground conditions. India could then take an informed call on their No. 2 spinner based on how Kuldeep and Chahal fare. The Kedar Jadhav factor The unlikely evolution of Kedar Jadhav’s offspin provides India with an additional option as the 6th bowler, and he could be yet another hurdle to Yadav and Chahal-- especially in case India decides to shore up their batting and select only three specialist bowlers (Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar/Shami, and Jadeja). Jadhav, Pandya, and Vijay Shankar could then be asked to share the remaining 20 overs between them.
