Around 26 per cent of <keyword id="19896991" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cancer" source="keywords">cancer</keyword> patients in <keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="India" source="keywords">India</keyword> have tumours in the head and neck, and there is an upward trend of such cases in the country, a study has found. The findings of the study, conducted on 1,869 cancer patients across the country, were released on the World <keyword id="20775483" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="head-and-neck-cancer" source="keywords">Head and Neck Cancer</keyword> Day observed on Saturday. Cancer Mukt Bharat Foundation, a Delhi-based non-profit organisation, conducted the study by collating data from calls received on its helpline number from March 1 to June 30. Dr. Ashish Gupta, a senior oncologist who is heading the Cancer Mukt Bharat Campaign in India, said that India is seeing surge in head and neck cancer cases, especially among young men, due to increased <keyword id="20681485" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tobacco-consumption" source="keywords">tobacco consumption</keyword> and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. "Around 80-90 pc of oral cancer patients have been found to use tobacco in some form, be it smoking or chewing. Most of the head and neck cancer are preventable, unlike other cancers for which the reason is unknown. It is a preventable cancer that can be prevented with lifestyle modification. "There is a need to raise awareness to quit tobacco and early check-ups for early pickup of the disease," Gupta said. In India, nearly two-thirds of cancer cases are detected late likely due to low adoption of proper screening, he said. Gupta added that the Cancer Mukt Bharat campaign aims to reduce the incidence and impact of cancer on individuals and communities through education and early detection. "If found early in stages one or two, most head and neck cancers are curable in more than 80 pc of patients. In the field of cancer treatment, we get new medicines almost every week which can treat cancer in better way leading to better outcomes and good quality of life. "A combination of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy can be used for treating head and neck cancer. Latest cancer treatment has evolved to prioritize not just curing the disease, but also ensuring a good quality of life for survivors," he said. Under the Cancer Mukt Bharat Campaign, a free national helpline number (93-555-20202) was launched recently, which is operational from 10 am to 5 pm from Monday to Saturday. Cancer patients can call on this number to speak to leading oncologists directly or even do a video call to discuss about their treatment without paying any fees. Head and neck cancer was closely followed by gastrointestinal cancers which was 16 per cent. Fufteen per cent cancers in India re breast cancers and and blood cancers make up 9 per cent of them. These data are in line with the latest GLOBOCAN data -- a database that gives global cancer statistics -- on India. GLOBOCON data is part of International Agency for Research on Cancer's Global Cancer Observatory. India is expected to have 2.1 million new cancer cases by 2040, a big jump from the numbers in 2020, as per a recent GLOBOCAN report.

Cancers in head and neck rising, account for 26% cases in India: Study

New Delhi, Former India coach <keyword id="19923639" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rahul-Dravid" source="keywords">Rahul Dravid</keyword> passed a lead to his successor <keyword id="19914485" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Gautam-Gambhir" source="keywords">Gautam Gambhir</keyword> in taming the tough situations he is bound to encounter - "exhale, take a step back", a message that left the latter "emotional." Dravid vacated the hot seat after India's triumph in the T20 World Cup in the Americas last month, and Gambhir took over the reins of the team from the on-going whiteball tour to <keyword id="19931726" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sri-Lanka" source="keywords">Sri Lanka</keyword>. "From one Indian cricket coach to another, one last thing. In the most heated of times, exhale, take a step back. I wish you the very best Gautam. I am sure you will take the Indian team to even greater heights," Dravid said in a video posted by <keyword id="19901245" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BCCI" source="keywords">BCCI</keyword> on its 'X' handle. Dravid's dry wit came to the fore even amidst that touching message. "Even if it's difficult for you, crack a smile. Whatever else happens, that will shock people," he said, eliciting a wide smile from Gambhir. Gambhir sounded moved while thanking his predecessor for the wise words "I don't get too emotional but I think this message actually made me a lot emotional which normally I shouldn't. But it's a great message. "It's massive shoes that I can hopefully fill. Hopefully, I can do that with absolute honesty, transparency and hopefully, I can make the entire nation and more importantly, the person I have always looked up to - Rahul Bhai - proud," he said. Dravid was certain that Gambhir, who carried a never-say-die attitude in his playing days, will bring his fighting qualities to the coaching job as well. "As your teammate, I saw you giving it your all on the field. As your batting partner and fellow fielder, I saw your resilience and refusal to surrender. Across many IPL seasons, I noted your desire to win, your assistance to younger players and your drive to extract the best out of your team on the field. "I know how dedicated and passionate you are about Indian cricket and I am sure you will bring all these qualities into the new job," he said. The 51-year-old, however, offered a word of caution to his one-time teammate about living under constant scrutiny. "As you know, the expectations will be high and the scrutiny will be intense," he said, also reminding that there will be overwhelming support for him from all quarters. "But even in the worst of times you will never be alone. You will have the support of the players, your support staff, the leaders of the past, the management and never forget for whom you play - for fans who are very demanding but will always be behind the team." Dravid hoped that Gambhir will have a fully-fit squad to work with, and will have the assistance of fortune in crunch moments. "I also hope that you will also have the availability of fully fit players in every squad. Good luck with that. I also wish you a little bit of luck, as you know that all of us coaches need to make us look that little bit wiser and smarter than we actually are," he noted. The former Indian captain also urged Gambhir to forge a strong bond with the team members - something he managed to do during his tenure. "Hello Gautam, and welcome to the most exciting job in our world, as coach of the Indian cricket team. It's been three weeks since I ended my stint with the Indian team in a manner that was beyond my dreams, both in Barbados and a few days later in that unforgettable evening in Mumbai. "More than anything else I will cherish the memories and friendships I made in my time with the squad. As you take over the role of India coach, it's what I wish for you as well," he added. Gambhir imbibed Dravid's words in their true sense, and said he has not seen a more "selfless" servant of Indian cricket. "I don't know how to react because this message means so much to me. The reason is not because it comes from the person who I have succeeded but from a person who I have always looked up to when I was playing. "I have always felt that and I said it in a lot of my interviews - I think the most selfless cricketer I have actually ever played with. Rahul bhai has done anything and everything Indian cricket needed." Gambhir said Dravid's association with Indian cricket is a text book for others to learn from. "I think there is so much to learn from, not only for me but for the next generation and the current generation as well. That's how important Indian cricket is, not me, not individuals," he said.

In most heated of times, exhale, take a step back: Dravid''s message to Gambhir

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (<keyword id="19901245" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BCCI" source="keywords">BCCI</keyword>) secretary <keyword id="19930802" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jay-Shah" source="keywords">Jay Shah</keyword> confirmed that <keyword id="20015089" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Team-India" source="keywords">Team India</keyword>'s new <keyword id="20147279" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="head-coach" source="keywords">head coach</keyword> will join the side for the upcoming <keyword id="20571793" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sri-Lanka-series" source="keywords">Sri Lanka series</keyword>. The Men in Blue are due to tour Sri Lanka for a three-match T20I series and three ODIs which will kick off on July 27. Head coach <keyword id="19923639" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rahul-Dravid" source="keywords">Rahul Dravid</keyword>'s tenure came to an end after the end of the final match of the T20 World Cup 2024, where India beat South Africa by seven runs to win the prestigious trophy after 17 years. Speaking to the reporters in Barbados, Shah said that the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) has already interviewed and shortlisted two names. He added that after reaching Mumbai the BCCI members will announce it. The BCCI secretary confirmed that former India cricketer VVS Laxman will be going to Zimbabwe as the Team's interim coach. "Both coach and selector appointments will be made shortly. CAC has interviewed and shortlisted two names and after reaching Mumbai whatever they have decided we will go by that. VVS Laxman is going to Zimbabwe but a new coach will join from the Sri Lanka series," Shah was quoted by ESPNcricinfo as saying. <keyword id="19914485" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Gautam-Gambhir" source="keywords">Gautam Gambhir</keyword> has been heavily linked with the role, with many former cricketers backing the 2011 World Cup winner to thrive as the head coach of the Indian team. Gambhir, who was a key member of the Indian team that won the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 and the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup, was praised for his recent success with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) after returning to the Indian Premier League franchise as their mentor. KKR lifted their third IPL title after enjoying an almost flawless run in the recently concluded season.

Jay Shah confirms Team India's new head coach will join from Sri Lanka series

The great <keyword id="19923639" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rahul-Dravid" source="keywords">Rahul Dravid</keyword> was not his usual restrained self after India's <keyword id="19921630" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="T20-World-Cup" source="keywords">T20 World Cup</keyword> glory and couldn't thank his wards enough for helping him live what he "wasn't lucky as a player" to experience -- the heady feeling of being a world champion. With <keyword id="20147279" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="head-coach" source="keywords">head coach</keyword> Dravid watching the action from the dugout, skipper <keyword id="19899523" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rohit-sharma" source="keywords">Rohit Sharma</keyword> marshalled his resources beautifully as India held their nerve to eke out a seven-run victory over South Africa in a thrilling finale and win the T20 World Cup to end an 11-year ICC title drought. "I really have felt short of words over the last few hours. I just could not be more proud of this team, the way we had to fight difficult situations," Dravid said after the triumph. "Even today I think it was a great testimony... for the team to lose three wickets in the first six overs, to be in the kind of position we were in, but the boys just kept fighting, they kept believing. "You know, as a player, I was not lucky enough to win a trophy, but I tried my best whenever I played and it happens, it's part of sports," the 51-year-old added. The triumph in the Caribbean is also a sort of redemption for Dravid, under whose captaincy India endured a forgettable first-round exit in the 2007 ODI World Cup in this part of the world. But Dravid said he doesn't believe in words or things like redemption, playing down his contribution as the team's head coach. "Firstly, there is no redemption. I am not one of those guys who thinks about redemption and those kind of things. There are a lot of other players I know who have not been able to win a trophy. "I was lucky to be given the opportunity to coach, and I was lucky that this bunch of boys made it possible for me to be able to win a trophy and celebrate. "Nice feeling, but it's not like I am aiming for some redemption, it's just a job that I was doing. I loved doing the job, I loved working with Rohit and this team. It's been a great journey and I have really enjoyed it." Dravid, whose tenure as <keyword id="20591688" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="India-coach" source="keywords">India coach</keyword> ends now, called the title triumph the memory of a lifetime. "Just phenomenal, just lovely to be a part of a dressing room like this. It's a memory of a lifetime for me, so I am thankful and grateful to the team and the support staff who have made this possible." Dravid, one of the finest batsmen and ambassadors in the game's history, said he is also not much into things like legacy. "I am not a legacy person, I am not looking for legacies, I just feel glad that we could give our best. I think I have been lucky to have been working with an exceptionally professional bunch, intelligent bunch of coaches and other support staff who have made it possible to create a fantastic environment. "I am glad that a bit of luck has resulted in this trophy. I couldn't be happier for this team, and I couldn't be happier for so many of the Indian fans who are coming out to these games." His fantastic equation with Rohit went a long way in building the kind of atmosphere needed for a team to succeed at the top level. Both have tremendous respect for each other and Rohit dedicated the victory to Dravid. Dravid said he will miss Rohit the person most. "I will miss him as a person forget the cricket, forget the captain and everything. I just hope we will still be friends. "I think what's really impressed me in all of the these is the kind of person that he is, the kind of respect he has shown me, the kind of care and commitment he has had for the team, the kind of energy, and he has never backed down from it," he said. "So, for me, it's the person that I will remember the most...he will be a great captain, he will be a great player, he will win trophies but I think it's the person that I am most fond of," Dravid was full of admiration for the captain. He said the trophy is a culmination of two years of intense hard work and planning, refusing to restrict it to three weeks of playing excellent cricket. "This is a journey of (over) two years, this is not a journey of this T20 World Cup, the construction of this team, the kind of skills we wanted, players we wanted, discussions started when I started in September 2021. "The balance that we wanted in the team, two years of work, this is not just a work of this World Cup, I think it culminated in this World Cup, it has all come together here on a beautiful afternoon in Barbados," Dravid said. On a lighter note, he said, "I will be able to move on quickly from this win, next week I will be unemployed (laughs). I don't want to think too far ahead, but yes, I hope, I will be able to move on. I think that's what life is all about." Dravid expressed optimism about Indian cricket's future and said the team will achieve plenty of success in the coming years. "Today's players are fantastic talents in Indian cricket. Their confidence, their energy, they are on a different level at this point of time. "We have been trying to win an ICC trophy for a long time, and I am very hopeful that they will carry this confidence forward and help Indian cricket win many more trophies in the next five-six years. "The ability and talent this bunch of boys have is tremendous. There were moments when we felt that we were not able to win a big trophy despite giving our best. But today, I can say with confidence, that they will continue the good work and win more trophies going ahead," Dravid signed off.

Memory of a lifetime for me but I don't believe in things like redemption, legacy: Dravid

Former Australian cricketer <keyword id="57623" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Justin-Langer" source="Orion">Justin Langer</keyword> was enticed by the prospect of becoming India's <keyword id="20147279" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="head-coach" source="keywords">head coach</keyword> but KL Rahul's word of caution regarding the "pressure and politics" that come with the job dissuaded him from pursuing the "amazing" opportunity. <keyword id="20014613" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="langer" source="keywords">Langer</keyword>, who served as Lucknow Super Giants' head coach this IPL season, recalled a chat with franchise skipper and a senior member of the Indian team Rahul. "You never say never. And the pressure of doing it in India...I was talking to KL Rahul and he said, 'You know, if you think there's pressure and politics in an IPL team, multiply that by a thousand, (that's) coaching India," Langer told the 'BBC Stumped' podcast. "That was a good bit of advice, I guess. It would be an amazing job, (but) I have (put myself out of contention)," he added. The <keyword id="19901245" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BCCI" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="BCCI" meta.hostid="153" meta.entityid="BCCI">BCCI</keyword> has invited fresh applications for the head coach position, with a deadline set for May 27 as Rahul Dravid is set to exit after the T20 World Cup. Before taking up the gig with LSG this year, Langer had coached Australia for four years from May 2018 to February 2022, helping the team navigate a difficult period in the aftermath of the infamous ball-tampering scandal. Under Langer's guidance, Australia lifted their first-ever T20 World Cup title and also went on to win the Ashes. "I also know that it's an all-encompassing role, and having done it for four years with the Australian team, honestly, it's exhausting. And that's the Australian job!," the 53-year-old said. Speculation was rife that the BCCI had approached Langer's former teammate and current Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting for the job. But the World Cup-winning captain has already ruled himself out, saying the coaching gig won't suit his lifestyle. BCCI secretary <keyword id="19930802" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jay-Shah" source="keywords">Jay Shah</keyword> on Friday clarified that the board has not approached any former Australian cricketer with offer to coach Indian team. "We are focused on identifying individuals who possess a deep understanding of the <keyword id="20020884" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-cricket" source="keywords">Indian cricket</keyword> structure and have risen through the ranks," Shah said. "It's crucial that our coach has an in-depth knowledge of our domestic cricket framework to truly elevate Team India to the next level." Shah added. Some other high-profile names such as Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru head coach <keyword id="20193457" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="stephen-fleming" source="keywords">Stephen Fleming</keyword> and Andy Flower have also opted out. Former India batter Gautam Gambhis is said to be a top contender for the position right now.

Hindenburg alleged that Buch and her husband had undisclosed investments in obscure offshore funds in Bermuda and Mauritius, the same entities allegedly used by <keyword id="20283220" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vinod-Adani" source="keywords">Vinod Adani</keyword> - the elder brother of group chairman Gautam Adani - to round-trip funds and inflate stock prices. SEBI, in October 2020, began a probe into the shareholding structure of Adani group companies after red flags were raised over the high concentration of foreign holdings in the conglomerate's listed companies. An investigation was launched to determine if the foreign investors were genuine public shareholders or acting as fronts for the promoters. SEBI, last year had told a Supreme Court-appointed panel that it was investigating 13 opaque offshore entities that held between 14-20% across five publicly traded stocks of the conglomerate. It hasn't stated if the two probes have since been completed, something which Hindenburg used to attack the market regulator. Madhabi Puri Buch and her husband Dhaval Buch in a joint statement strongly denied the "baseless allegations and insinuations made in the report". The same, they said, "are devoid of any truth". "Our life and finances are an open book," they said. "It is unfortunate that Hindenburg Research against whom SEBI has taken an enforcement action and issued a show cause notice, has chosen to attempt character assassination in response to the same." Buchs further said they have no hesitation in disclosing any financial documents, including those that relate to the period when we were strictly private citizens, to any and every authority that may seek them. While the statement did not talk about the questions Hindenburg raised over SEBI probe, the duo promised to come out with a detailed response. Separately, Adani group in a regulatory filing called the allegations by Hindenburg as "malicious, mischievous and manipulative selections of publicly available information to arrive at predetermined conclusions for personal profiteering with wanton disregard for facts and the law." "The Adani Group has absolutely no commercial relationship with the individuals or matters mentioned in this calculated deliberate effort to malign our standing," it said. "We remain steadfastly committed to transparency and compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements". Rejecting the allegations, it said they were nothing but a "recycling of discredited claims that have been thoroughly investigated, proven to be baseless, and already dismissed by the Supreme Court in March 2023." "It is reiterated that our overseas holding structure is fully transparent, with all relevant details disclosed regularly in numerous public documents," Adani group said, adding Anil Ahuja was a nominee director of 3i investment fund in Adani Power (2007-2008) and, later, a director of Adani Enterprises until 2017. "For a discredited short-seller under the scanner for several violations of Indian securities laws, Hindenburg's allegations are no more than red herrings thrown by a desperate entity with total contempt for Indian laws," it added. Hindenburg on Saturday stated that the SEBI chairperson and her husband invested in offshore entities that were allegedly part of a fund structure managed by India Infoline, and in which Vinod Adani also had investments. These investments reportedly date back to 2015, well before her appointment as a full-time member of SEBI in 2017 and the subsequent elevation as chairperson in March 2022. It said the Bermuda-based Global Opportunities Fund, which allegedly was used by entities connected to Adani Group to trade in shares of group companies, had sub-funds. Buch and her husband were investors in one of these sub-funds in 2015. Citing "whistleblower documents", Hindenburg said, "<keyword id="22743118" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Madhabi-Buch" source="keywords">Madhabi Buch</keyword>, the current chairperson of SEBI, and her husband had stakes in both obscure offshore funds used in the Adani <keyword id="22743230" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="money-siphoning" source="keywords">money siphoning</keyword> scandal." SEBI, it claimed, has "shown a surprising lack of interest in Adani's alleged undisclosed web of Mauritius and offshore shell entities." Buch and her husband may have first opened their account with IPE Plus Fund 1 on June 5, 2015, in Singapore. IPE fund is a small offshore Mauritius fund set up by Vinod Adani director through India Infoline (IIFL), a wealth management firm with ties to the Wirecard embezzlement scandal. "Vinod Adani, brother of Gautam Adani, used this structure to invest in Indian markets with funds allegedly siphoned from over-invoicing of power equipment to Adani Group," claimed Hindenburg. Latching on to the Hindenburg allegations, Congress said the revelations only reinforced its demand for setting up a "joint parliamentary committee to investigate the full scope of the Adani mega scam" while the Trinamool Congress said the SEBI chairperson must resign. "This raises fresh questions about Gautam Adani's two 2022 meetings in quick succession with Ms Buch shortly after she became SEBI chairperson. Recall that SEBI was supposedly investigating Adani transactions at the time," Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said. In January last year, Hindenburg Research, which in the past has shorted - or bet against - companies like electric truck maker Nikola Corp and Twitter, accused Adani Group of pulling "the largest con in corporate history" by using a web of companies in tax havens to inflate its revenue and manipulate stock prices, even as debt piled up. Though the conglomerate vehemently denied all allegations, the damning report sent the group's shares into a free fall, wiping out over USD 150 billion in market value of the 10 listed entities at their lowest point. Most of the 10 listed companies have since recouped the losses. After the Hindenburg report, the Supreme Court asked market regulator SEBI to complete its investigation and set up a separate expert panel to look into regulatory lapses. The panel did not give any adverse report on Adani and the apex court too stated that no other probe other than one being done by SEBI was required. On June 26 this year, SEBI in a show cause notice charged Hindenburg of "deliberately sensationalizing and distorting certain facts" as well as working with a New York hedge fund to make its bet. Hindenburg had responded to that saying it made just USD 4.1 million from its declared positions on Adani stocks and criticized the regulator for not focusing its investigation into the January 2023 report "providing evidence" of the conglomerate creating "a vast network of offshore shell entities" and moving billions of dollars "surreptitiously" into and out of Adani public and private entities. The group led by billionaire Gautam Adani, who was the world's third-richest man before Hindenburg, in an epic comeback strategy raised USD 15 billion in equity and debt, sold some assets, repaid loans that were raised pledging shares, reined in expenses, repaid some debt and refocused energies on core business. Adani is now ranked 12th richest in the world, one notch and USD 6 billion shy of rival billionaire Mukesh Ambani. The group has also made some acquisitions, buying cement company Sanghi Industries and the news agency IANS. Adani has insisted the Hindenburg report has not changed operations at his companies, which include ports, airports, renewable parks generating electricity from sunlight and wind energy, gas distribution, cement processors, data centers, and even apple farms. 360 One Wam Ltd, formerly known as IIFL Wealth Management Ltd, separately said IPE-Plus Fund 1, a fully compliant and regulated fund, was launched in October 2013 and operated until October 2019. "Throughout the fund's tenure, IPE-Plus Fund 1 made zero investments in any shares of the Adani Group either directly or indirectly through any fund," it said. "At its peak, the fund's Assets Under Management (AUM) reached approximately USD 48 million, with over 90% of the fund consistently invested in bonds." The fund, it said, was managed as a discretionary fund by the Investment Manager. "No investor had any involvement in the fund's operations or investment decisions. Mrs. Madhabi Buch &amp; Mr. Dhaval Buch's holdings in the fund were less than 1.5% of the total inflow into the fund." Hindenburg on Saturday alleged that just weeks before Buch's appointment to SEBI, her husband requested the transfer of their investments into his sole control, potentially to avoid any scrutiny related to her new regulatory role. The couple's investments were reportedly funneled through a complex, multi-layered offshore structure, raising questions about their legitimacy and purpose. On March 22, 2017, just weeks ahead of Buch's appointment as SEBI Wholetime Member, her husband, Dhaval Buch, wrote to Mauritius fund administrator Trident Trust. That communication was regarding his and his wife's investment in the Global Dynamic Opportunities Fund (GDOF), the US firm alleged. "In the letter, Dhaval Buch requested to"be the sole person authorized to operate the accounts", seemingly moving the assets out of his wife's name ahead of the politically sensitive appointment," Hindenburg alleged. Dhaval Buch is currently a senior advisor at Blackstone and at Alvarez &amp; Marsal. He also serves as a non-executive director on the Board of Gildan. "In a later account statement dated February 26, 2018, addressed to Madhabi Buch's private email, the full details of the structure are revealed: "GDOF Cell 90 (IPEplus Fund 1)". Again, this is the same Mauritius-registered "cell" of the fund, found several layers deep in a convoluted structure, reportedly used by Vinod Adani," Hindenburg alleged. From April 2017 to March 2022, while Buch was a Wholetime member and Chairperson at SEBI, she had a 100 % interest in an offshore Singaporean consulting firm, called Agora Partners, it alleged adding On March 16, 2022, two weeks after she was appointed SEBI Chairperson, she quietly transferred the shares to her husband. To date, SEBI has taken no action against these funds, it claimed. "If SEBI wanted to find the offshore fund holders, perhaps the SEBI Chairperson could have started by looking in the mirror," Hindenburg said. In response to requests from the Supreme Court to investigate the Adani matter, SEBI is said to have hit a wall unveiling the holders of the offshore funds. The Supreme Court said that while SEBI seemingly agreed with its concerns over who funded Adani's offshore shareholders, "it is evident that SEBI has drawn a blank in this investigation", the firm alleged.

The <keyword id="23960239" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Leonid-Meteor-Shower" source="keywords">Leonid meteor shower</keyword>, one of the most iconic celestial events, is currently active. If you missed its peak on the nights of November 17-18, don’t worry; the shower should still retain some razzle dazzle over the next few days. For stargazers in India, this cosmic show promises a breathtaking experience if the skies remain clear and moonlight isn’t too bright. <h3 style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:14.0pt;margin-bottom:4.0pt;">What makes the <keyword id="24047570" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="leonids" source="keywords">Leonids</keyword> special?</h3>The Leonids are famous for their speed and brilliance, with meteors zipping through the atmosphere at an astonishing 70 km/s. They originate from debris left behind by <keyword id="24047566" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Comet-55P/Tempel-Tuttle" source="keywords">Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle</keyword>, which orbits the Sun every 33 years. Occasionally, the shower transforms into a spectacular meteor storm, with thousands of meteors per hour. Though this phenomenon won’t occur this year, the Leonids remain a treat for skywatchers. <h3 style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:14.0pt;margin-bottom:4.0pt;">Best time and how to watch in India</h3>To watch the showers, you have to stay up somewhat late into the night, as the radiant point in the constellation Leo becomes visible after midnight. Under ideal conditions, observers might spot around 10 meteors per hour, disappearing sometime after dawn breaks the next day. However, the waning gibbous moon may reduce visibility, so patience is key. To view the shower effectively, find a dark spot away from city lights and allow your eyes to adjust to the dark for at least 30 minutes. Don’t focus directly on Leo (the radiant point), as meteors will streak across the entire sky. You can also use apps or star maps to locate Leo, marked by its bright star Regulus and a sickle-shaped pattern representing the lion’s mane. <h3 style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:14.0pt;margin-bottom:4.0pt;">Fun and practical tips for stargazing</h3>Pack warm clothing, a reclining chair, and a thermos of hot tea to stay cozy while watching. No binoculars or telescopes are needed — just the naked eye and a sense of wonder. If you're a photography enthusiast, a DSLR with a wide-angle lens can help you capture the meteor trails. The Leonids’ fiery streaks and occasional fireballs make them an unmissable celestial event. Even if the moonlight dims their intensity this year, the experience of lying under the stars and marveling at this cosmic spectacle is well worth it. For the best results, keep checking local weather forecasts for clear skies and head out to dark rural areas if possible. Happy stargazing!

Australia suffered a stunning batting collapse as they managed 67 for 7 at stumps in reply to India's 150 in the first innings on Day 1 of the <keyword id="20027920" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="first-Test" source="keywords">first Test</keyword> here on Friday. India, who were all out for 150 from 49.4 overs at the stroke of tea, grabbed seven Australian wickets in 27 overs in the final session of the day. Alex Carey (19 batting) and Mitchell Starc (6 batting) were at the crease at stumps, as Australia trail by 83 runs. Seventeen wickets fell on the day on a lively pitch at the Perth Stadium. Australia's abject surrender could be seen from the fact that Carey was their highest scorer while Travis Head and debutant Nathan McSweeney made 11 and 10 respectively. All the other Australian batters could not reach double-digit figures. For India, captain <keyword id="19899525" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jasprit-Bumrah" source="keywords">Jasprit Bumrah</keyword> (4/17) was the pick of the bowlers while Mohammed Siraj (2/17) and debutant Harshit Rana (1/33) also chipped in. Earlier, electing to bat, India lost six wickets in the second session to be all out for 150. Debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy top-scored with 41 off 59 balls while Rishabh Pant chipped in with 37. Opene KL Rahul got out to a controversial caught behind decision just before lunch after scoring 26 off 74 balls.

A few years back, after a promotional event at a five-star hotel in New Delhi, <keyword id="19914485" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Gautam-Gambhir" source="keywords">Gautam Gambhir</keyword> was seen smiling in the foyer — an unusual sight. A couple of journalists approached him. Known for being a non-conformist, he was in the midst of a cold war with the then officials of the Delhi and District <keyword id="19919646" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cricket" source="keywords">Cricket</keyword> Association (DDCA). "You know why I don't fear anyone in this establishment? Because I am not here to earn money," he told the journalists, writes Kushan Sarkar, a special correspondent with Press Trust of India (PTI). <h2>Gambhir named new <keyword id="20147279" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="head-coach" source="keywords">head coach</keyword></h2> On Tuesday, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) named Gautam Gambhir as head coach of the Indian cricket team. The former opener fills gigantic shoes of the legendary Indian Mr Dependable batsman <keyword id="19923639" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rahul-Dravid" source="keywords">Rahul Dravid</keyword>, and is tasked with building on the latter's success in the recent T20 World Cup. "I have always taken pride while donning the Indian jersey during my playing days, and it is going to be no different when I take up this new role," said the 42-year-old Gambhir in a statement. <div type="image" title="Gautam Gambhir becomes new head coach of Indian men&amp;#39;s cricket team" agency="ANI" msid="111615122" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Gautam Gambhir becomes new head coach of Indian men&amp;#39;s cricket team&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> BCCI secretary Jay Shah announced that Gautam Gambhir has been unanimously appointed as the head coach. Gambhir, who scored over 10,000 international runs in his 13-year career, will travel to Sri Lanka with the team for his first assignment in late July. Iconic Indian batters Rohit Sharma and <keyword id="19907934" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Virat-Kohli" source="keywords">Virat Kohli</keyword> have been rested for the white ball ODI series against the Lankans. Shah praised Gambhir as a "fierce competitor and a brilliant strategist" and expressed confidence in his ability to elevate the team's performance. "We believe he will bring the same tenacity and leadership to his role as head coach," Shah said. "He will bring out the best in our players." <h2>A new journey for the former MP</h2> Gambhir played a crucial role in India's 2011 ODI World Cup win and recently led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to an <keyword id="19906063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="IPL" source="keywords">IPL</keyword> title. His extensive experience in various capacities throughout his career makes him an ideal candidate for the coaching job, according to Shah. After retiring as a player, Gambhir ventured into commentary and politics, becoming a lawmaker for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) before quitting politics in March to rejoin KKR as a mentor. BCCI president Roger Binny hailed Gambhir's appointment as marking a "new chapter for Indian cricket," emphasizing his "experience, dedication, and vision for the game." "India is my identity and serving my country has been the greatest privilege of my life. I'm honoured to be back, albeit wearing a different hat. But my goal is the same as it has always been, to make every Indian proud. The men in blue shoulder the dreams of 1.4 billion Indians and I will do everything in my power to make these dreams come true!," said Gambhir in a post on 'X'. <h2>Controversial journey of the new coach</h2> As Gambhir steps into this challenging role, his outspoken and often controversial personality will be scrutinized against Dravid's calm approach. Coming from Central Delhi's Old Rajinder Nagar — a hub for Civil Services aspirants — Gambhir never found things easy in Indian cricket. Perhaps this is why intensity became his second nature, as he had to constantly prove himself, writes Kushan Sarkar. As Delhi's skipper, he once refused to attend practice for days until Ajay Jadeja, the team coach accused of match-fixing, resigned. His remarks have often been portrayed to have reflected his belief that Mahendra Singh Dhoni gets undue credit for a single six in the 2011 World Cup final. His altercation with India's star player Virat Kohli during IPL matches (RCB Vs KKR in 2013 and RCB Vs LSG in 2023) also received widespread traction. Despite such — often controversial — actions, he is well-respected across the Indian cricket fraternity for his unflinching commitment and loyalty to his team. With the T20 World Cup win in Barbados last month, Indian cricket team gave wings to the dreams of billions of Indian cricket fans. But the win also came as a bittersweet surprise, with multiple senior players announcing their retirement — marking the end of an era in the country's cricket history. As Gambhir takes the steering wheel as the new head coach one can only wish that the journey — with all its ups and downs — turns out to a successful one for both him, and the team! <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111370557" title="Emotional rollercoaster: Team India&amp;#39;s historic T20I World Cup win marks a golden chapter in Indian cricket" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"><payload><![CDATA[seealso]]></payload></div> <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111395294" title="Jay Shah confirms Team India&amp;#39;s new head coach will join from Sri Lanka series" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"><payload><![CDATA[seealso]]></payload></div>

There was a 10% decline in shipments in Q2 2024. According to a report by the International Data Corporation, 38 million devices were shipped in the country’s wearables market in Q3 2024. The decline is being attributed to a reduction in new product launches and a cautious inventory strategy. <h2>Smartwatch shipments decline</h2>The smartwatch category recorded a decline of 44.8% as shipments declined from 16.92 million devices in Q3 2023 to 9.34 million in Q3 2024. Not just the basic smartwatches, the shipments of premium smartwatches also declined by 39.9% year-on-year. The Smartwatch average selling price (ASP) however increased by 1.4% from $25.8 to $26.2. The wristband category, which remained strong in Q2 has also declined in Q3, recording a 48.4% year-on-year decline in shipments.

dominate the Indian smartwatch market with a 27.4% market share in Q3 2024, up from a 20.7% market share in Q3 2023. boAt comes in second with a 16.7% market share, up from a 14.2% market share in Q3 2023. “Amid market trends like consolidation, premiumization, and evolving consumer expectations, we have not only weathered these changes but thrived, with a 10-15% year-on-year increase in average selling prices across marketplaces,” said Amit Khatri, Co-Founder, Noise in a statement to Business Insider India. “The smartwatch category remains stressed as we head into 2025 due to undifferentiated products and a limited number of brands in play. Its market is expected to remain flat or decline marginally in 2025,” said Vikas Sharma, senior market analyst, Smart Wearable Devices, IDC India. “However, we are seeing early signs of a gradual consumer shift from basic to advanced smartwatches, as the need for better health tracking with efficient sensors and advanced functionality is gradually coming to the fore,” Sharma added. <h2>TWS market share in India</h2><table style="border-width: initial;
