       <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Canada-based entrepreneur of Indian origin has shared an emotional video from a flight, revealing that he suddenly broke down after realising he was finally living the life he had dreamed about as a child. The video has drawn attention online as he reflected on his journey and the goals he once thought were out of reach.</p>

<p>Ash Lamba posted the video on Instagram, where he was seen wiping away tears while sitting by the window in what appeared to be a business class seat. The clip also showed moments from his present life, including his travels, luxury car and home.</p>

<p>Lamba said that he had initially planned to record a funny video during the flight. He said that the moment he turned on the camera, he just broke down. He added that he was not expecting it, and then realised what had triggered the emotional moment.</p>

<p>He recalled being fascinated by airports as a child and being curious about the business-class cabin. Whenever he went to use the washroom on a flight, he would deliberately walk towards that section just to get a glimpse of what it looked like.</p>

<p>Lamba also remembered noticing the lifestyles of wealthier classmates, including their stories about summer holidays in London, the BlackBerry phones they carried, the luxury cars that dropped them off at school, big houses, expensive hotels, restaurants and brands such as Ralph Lauren and Rolex.</p>

<p>Although he described his childhood as a happy one, he said those experiences stayed with him. He said that his parents gave him a beautiful childhood, worked incredibly hard, and went far beyond what most parents would. He added that he always had a feeling inside him that he wanted more experiences, more freedom, and more choices. He said he wanted to see the world and build something that would completely change his life, and that dream quietly became his obsession.</p>

<p>Reflecting on his journey, Lamba said he now finds himself sitting in the very business class seat that he once admired from behind a curtain and has achieved many of the goals he once believed were impossible.</p>

<p>He said that years later, he finds himself sitting in the very seat he used to look at from behind a curtain. He added that he now travels to places he once only heard stories about, drives the car that once lived only in his imagination, and lives in a home that his younger self would have called impossible. He said that somehow, it still feels unreal.</p>

<p>Lamba said the emotional moment was not about the flight itself, but about remembering the child who dreamed of a different future. He said that maybe that was why he became emotional because, in that moment, he was not looking out of an airplane window but looking back at a little boy who noticed everything. He added that the little boy quietly made a promise to himself, and today he is simply grateful that he never stopped believing. He concluded by saying that the dreams have changed, but the hunger has not.</p>]]></content:encoded>

       <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An Indian team with its back to the wall, led by a captain, who is equally cornered, will look to prevent England from inflicting a seemingly imminent 4-0 'whitewash' when the two contrasting sides clash in the fifth T20 International in Southampton on Saturday. Led by Shreyas Iyer, the Indian team's journey started in the damp and windy conditions of Belfast. It then covered north of England in Durham to finally be in the southern city of Southampton to close the five-match series in which one game was washed out.</p>

<p>In the six UK cities (including Belfast), one thing has remained common -- Iyer's fortunes have remained wretched as he is still without his first win since becoming captain.</p>

<p>This is the longest winless streak for the Indian men's team since it first played a T20 International in 2006.</p>

<p>The Indian team has looked completely out of sorts save the second game at Old Trafford where it was in the game till the start of 17th over (bowled by Ravi Bishnoi).</p>

<p>Nottingham witnessed India's worst batting performance -- 76 all-out and Bristol was a perfect example of being outplayed in every department of the game.</p>

<p>The consolation win will do little to salvage the pride but even then, a die-hard Iyer fan would take a 1-3 defeat any day than the ignominy associated with a 0-4 humilation in the early days of his captaincy.</p>

<p>Not being able to cope with pace generated by Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue has certainly left the Indian team management worried.</p>

<p>Not to forget, they haven't picked the slower and skiddy variations bowled by left-arm seamer Sam Curran.</p>

<p>With Varun Chakravarthy and Harshit Rana ruled out due to hamstring injuries and Ravi Bishnoi making himself virtually unselectable with a 29-run over, the options in the bowling department are not many.</p>

<p>In the batting department, one would like to give Vaibhav Sooryavanshi a long run despite poor returns against short-pitched bowling, something he will only get better at dealing in the coming years.</p>

<p>While Sanju Samson's omission from the playing eleven and the Zimbabwe touring party has left everyone baffled and angry in equal measure, the only way he can make it to the squad is if the think-tank removes an out of sorts Tilak Varma.</p>

<p>But then, it would mean both Ishan Kishan and Iyer dropping a place each. Kishan batting anywhere below No. 3 isn't of great benefit for the team.</p>

<p>For England, not just pace bowling but their spinners Will Jacks, Adil Rashid, Liam Dawson (till match No.3) have been brilliant in taking pace off deliveries which their Indian counterparts have failed to do.</p>

<p>In the batting department, everyone from Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, skipper Harry Brook to young Jacob Bethell have dominated the Indian attack and took advantage of familiar conditions.</p>

<p>Iyer would want to avert another abject surrender which looks way more likely than ever.</p><p><i>(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)</i></p>]]></content:encoded>

       <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Portugal and Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes expressed his disappointment and frustration after his side's World Cup exit, admitting the team's quality and strong bond had raised expectations. The midfielder thanked his teammates, coaching staff and supporters for their commitment and belief throughout the tournament, despite the disappointing outcome. Portugal, hailed as one of the favourites to finally lift the trophy, ended their FIFA World Cup journey, falling way short again, in the round of 16. A late Mikel Merino strike helped Spain clinch the quarterfinal spot with a 1-0 win in a match that was expected to feature goals, with the likes of Bruno, Lamine Yamal, Mikel Oyarzabal and Cristiano Ronaldo featuring in the match.</p>

<p>"Sad, frustrated, and disillusioned. This group of players made my expectations high, not only for the quality, but also for the fact of the incredible group that we built over these years. Thank you to all the players, the technical team, and all the staff who accompanied and helped us every day during the World Cup. To all the Portuguese, a huge thank you for your support and belief," Bruno wrote in an X post.</p>

<p>Spain achieved a historic FIFA World Cup feat, becoming the first team ever to keep six consecutive clean sheets in the tournament.</p>

<p>The match was full of chances for both sides to score, but none could really capitalise it untill a late winner from Merino. Portugal, in particular Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo, missed out on a lot of chances. It was Merino, who combined with Ferran Torres, another substitute, to create the much-needed magic for Spain.</p>

<p>Before the match, Ronaldo had announced that the ongoing edition would be his last WC; however, he has not offered any hint on his international football future as he chases the record of 1,000 professional goals.</p>

       <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/players/122383-vaibhav-suryavanshi-playerprofile" title="Vaibhav Sooryavanshi">Vaibhav Sooryavanshi</a>'s initiation into international cricket has been tough. In the two matches he has played, he got starts but fell for scores of 13 and 14 in the India vs England T20I series. India lost both matches, while the first T20I was washed out. England have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead. Sooryavanshi replaced 2026 T20 World Cup Player of the Tournament <a href="https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/players/1701-sanju-samson-playerprofile" title="Sanju Samson">Sanju Samson</a> in the XI. And while his position may not be under scrutiny yet, international cricket can be a brutal place.</p>

<p>In the second T20I, Sooryavanshi fell to <a href="https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/players/113823-will-jacks-playerprofile" title="Will Jacks">Will Jacks</a>, while in the third T20I, <a href="https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/players/64664-jofra-archer-playerprofile" title="Jofra Archer">Jofra Archer</a> exploited his weakness against the short ball and dismissed him.</p>

<p>"I loved the way Jof (Archer) was bowling to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. His only issue is going to be that if he doesn't score in the next two, three, or five games, then that becomes an issue. I still think he is so good. The way he is getting out now, for me, that is not a weakness. I've seen him hit those balls for six. I'm not worried about him. It's the rest of the guys coming down the order," England's <a href="https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/players/42413-moeen-munir-ali-playerprofile" title="Moeen Ali">Moeen Ali</a> said on <a class="sp_lnk2" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP3jG8SdZFM" rel="noindex,nofollow" target="_blank">'Beard Before Wicket'</a>.</p>

<p><a href="https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/players/1142-adil-rashid-playerprofile" title="Adil Rashid">Adil Rashid</a>, who is playing in the series, said the data collected from the IPL has helped.</p>

<p>"He's not been around in international cricket for long. People have seen a lot of him in the IPL and stuff. So you get the data. Like I said, our team would have seen where he struggles and where he doesn't, and as a bowling unit, we are trying to implement that plan," Rashid said.</p>

<p>"He's got pressure on him because he is only 15. We're taking it seriously as we have plans against each player. They would have told him to just go out and play the way he plays. It's only when things progress further, and when he plays in different conditions and hits a rough patch, that he's got to adjust and find certain ways. For now, I think India have given him that license," he added</p>]]></content:encoded>

       <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>India vs England 4th T20I Highlights:</strong> India on Thursday lost the five-T20I series to England with a match to go. The Shreyas Iyer-led side was humbled by a nine-wicket margin in the fourth game in Bristol. This became the second series that India lost under new captain Iyer as he continues to yearn for his maiden win in the role. After the first game was washed out due to rain, the Three Lions registered three consecutive victories to seal the series. On Thursday, Harry Brook and Phil Salt struck dominant fifties as England made a mockery of India's first-innings total of 158 for 7. The team reached home in 13.5 overs. In the first innings, Shreyas Iyer was the lone warrior with 80 not out off 49 balls as the visiting team posted a below-par total on the board. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi failed once again. He was dismissed by Jofra Archer for 15 off 10 balls. Jofra Archer (2 for 20) and Josh Tongue (2 for 36) picked up two wickets each for England.

       <description><![CDATA[The statement said that the referee failed to use the VAR system appropriately, leading to the loss.]]></description>
       <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Egypt might be out of the FIFA World Cup 2026 but the pain of "biased and unfair" elimination from the tournament is still fresh in their hearts. As the football world continues to debate the on-field calls taken by the referee and VAR (Video Assistant Referee) interventions in the game, the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) said Wednesday it "cannot remain silent" after what it believes was unfair and biased officiating in Egypt's 3-2 round of 16 loss against Argentina on Tuesday.</p>

<p>Egypt coach <a href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/137897-hossam-playerprofile" title="Hossam">Hossam</a> Hassan and several players criticized the officiating after being left in disbelief as Argentina scored three unanswered goals in 13 minutes to pull off one of the biggest comebacks in World Cup history.</p>

<p>"Defending the rights and interests of the Egyptian national team is not a matter that can be ignored, minimized, or treated as secondary," the EFA said in a statement. "It is a responsibility that we carry with full conviction and determination."</p>

<p>Egypt appeared to have netted its second goal in the 58th minute, but a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review determined that <a href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/137883-marwan-attia-playerprofile" title="Marwan Attia">Marwan Attia</a> had fouled Argentina defender <a href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/95645-lisandro-playerprofile" title="Lisandro">Lisandro</a> Martínez before the goal.</p>

<p>The statement said that the referee failed to use the VAR system appropriately, leading to the loss.</p>

<p>"Several key incidents raised serious concerns and left profound questions about the consistency and fairness of decisions that directly influenced the course of the game," the statement read.</p>

<p>FIFA's chief of refereeing Pierluigi Collina, in a statement issued later Wednesday, said while constructive discussion about decisions would always be part of football, “unfounded allegations have no place in our sport.”</p>

<p>“Nobody can question the integrity of the FIFA World Cup match officials,” he said. “When this happens, it may provoke reactions that lead to threats against them and their families. This is not right.”</p>

<p>Hassan held his arms up in an "X" shape to signal racial abuse after Argentina's game-winner two minutes into stoppage time. After the game, Hassan said his team was the victim of a soccer establishment that favored Messi and Argentina.</p>

<p>In the dramatic climax to the game Egypt's goalkeeping coach Saafan Elsaghir was red-carded and several yellow cards were dished out to Egyptian players. The EFA's statement said that a number of experts and analysts have defended Egypt, underlining the importance of integrity, fairness and transparency in officiating on soccer's biggest stage.</p>

<p>The statement expressed the frustration among Egypt players, staff and supporters.</p>

<p>"Every player who wears the Egyptian shirt, and every supporter who stands behind the team, deserves fairness, respect, and equal application of the laws of the game."</p>

       <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>England's Marc Guehi is doubtful for the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-final against Norway, as the defender will be assessed on Friday to see if he is fit to play in Saturday's game. Meanwhile, Declan Rice is in a race to be fit after suffering from a sickness bug. Guehi has a slight hamstring injury following England's 3-2 victory over Mexico in the last 16 at the Azteca Stadium. Guehi and Rice both were absent from the training session on Wednesday, as they instead worked on individual programmes elsewhere ahead of Saturday's tie, BBC reports.</p>

<p>However, Reece James, who has been unavailable since he injured a hamstring in England's goalless draw against Ghana in their second group game and also missed the epic knockout victory against Mexico on Sunday, has returned to training on Thursday.</p>

<p>If Guehi cannot train with the squad on Friday, then there will be major doubt over his inclusion against Norway. On the other hand, midfielder Rice missed a second successive day of training because of a sickness bug.</p>

<p>Thomas Tuchel is facing a major crisis at right-back after Jarell Quansah's red card in Sunday's 3-2 win over Mexico, meaning the Bayer Leverkusen defender is suspended for two games.</p>

<p>Quansah's absence will make England's task against Norway more difficult, with Manchester City striker Erling Haaland having scored seven goals at the World Cup</p>

<p>Jordan Henderson, who suffered a "really bad" wrist injury while celebrating his side's dramatic World Cup last-16 win over Mexico, had returned to the England camp in Kansas City after undergoing a successful surgery rather than heading home.</p>

<p>England Football said Henderson is "recovering at the team hotel having undergone successful surgery on his arm following an injury sustained after the win in Mexico City."</p>

<p>Attention has now firmly turned to the quarter-final at Miami Stadium, with a last-four meeting with Argentina or Switzerland the prize for the winners.</p><p><i>(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)</i></p>]]></content:encoded>

       <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lionel <a title="Messi" href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/90996-lionel-messi-playerprofile">Messi</a> has been in supreme touch in the FIFA World Cup. True to his greatness, Messi has not only scored eight goals - the most by any player - but has also inspired Argentina to reach great heights. While Messi and Argentina have been on a goal-scoring spree, the journey has not been smooth. Argentina were stretched to extra time by Cape Verde in the Round of 32, while they made a late escape against Egypt after being 2-0 down in the Round of 16. In the quarter-final, Argentina will face Switzerland.</p>

<p>During Argentina's Round of 32 match against Cape Verde, which the former won 3-2, a photo went viral showing World Cup debutant <a title="Roberto" href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/93844-roberto-playerprofile">Roberto</a> Lopes having a go at Messi. The Argentine great could be seen saying something to him.</p>

<p>Now, Lopes has revealed what Messi said during the exchange.</p>

<p>"Yes, it was nothing really. I just saw him come into my eyeline and gave him a little push just to make sure he was real. I had to touch him to make sure he was human. He didn't take too kindly to it," <a title="Roberto Lopes" href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/137876-roberto-lopes-playerprofile">Roberto Lopes</a> said on a <a class="sp_lnk2" href="https://x.com/MessiXtraHQ/status/2075172536334405752" rel="noindex,nofollow" target="_blank">talk show</a>.</p>

<p>"He said, 'Lopes, that's a foul. There's no ball here. Don't touch me.' I think he was trying to put me off. So I paid it no mind. And he just kept going. Then the referee blew for half-time, and I just said to him, 'Look, I just need to touch you because if you are behind me, I am in deep trouble.' And we just shook hands and got on with it."</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Brazil veteran <a title="Rivaldo" href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/105090-rivaldo-playerprofile">Rivaldo</a> praised Lionel Messi and Argentina's fighting spirit after the defending champions staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Egypt in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16.</p>

<p>The 2002 World Cup winner took to Instagram after Argentina's dramatic 3-2 victory and applauded both Messi's leadership and the team's determination to overturn a two-goal deficit.</p>

<p>"What grit, what a will to win, what a fight, and what dedication from everyone! This is what fans expect to see on the pitch in a World Cup. Talking about @leomessi is stating the obvious. What a player! At 39 years old, playing in his sixth World Cup, he continues to show the same passion for the Argentina jersey: celebrating, fighting, crying and, once again, being decisive," Rivaldo wrote</p>]]></content:encoded>

       <description><![CDATA[Nuvama believes India's defence industry has entered fiscal 2027 with solid structural visibility, supported by healthy order books, continued indigenisation and a robust procurement pipeline.]]></description>
       <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>India's defence sector continues to offer a compelling long-term investment opportunity, backed by a strong order pipeline, rising localisation and increased government spending on indigenous military capabilities, according to Nuvama Institutional Equities. The brokerage has retained a positive view on the sector and named Solar Industries India (SOIL) and Bharat Electronics Ltd. (BEL) as its preferred stock picks.</p>

<p>Nuvama believes India's defence industry has entered fiscal 2027 with solid structural visibility, supported by healthy order books, continued indigenisation and a robust procurement pipeline. However, it expects execution trends to remain mixed across companies in the June quarter, with firms having shorter execution cycles and higher localisation likely to outperform.</p>

<p>The brokerage said it prefers companies operating in defence electronics, subsystems and consumable-led businesses, as these offer faster execution, stronger margins and better earnings visibility. In contrast, platform integrators such as Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. and Bharat Dynamics Ltd. continue to face longer execution cycles and supply-chain dependencies, leading to greater variability in quarterly performance.</p>

<h2><strong>Solar Industries</strong></h2>

<p>Among its top recommendations, Nuvama values Solar Industries at 48 times its fiscal year 2028 estimated earnings. Solar Industries is expected to deliver revenue growth of around 25% year-on-year, supported by strong execution of Pinaka rocket system orders and an improvement in the domestic explosives business. Margins are expected to remain robust at around 26%, aided by a higher contribution from defence and export revenues. The company currently has a defence order backlog of around Rs 18,000 crore, while expected Pinaka extended-range orders worth Rs 4,000-6,000 crore could further strengthen growth visibility beyond FY27.</p>

<h2><strong>BEL</strong></h2>

<p>For Bharat Electronics, Nuvama has assigned a valuation of 38 times fiscal year 2028 estimated earnings. The brokerage expects Bharat Electronics to report revenue growth of around 12% year-on-year in the June quarter. Its order backlog of approximately Rs 74,000 crore provides strong medium-term revenue visibility, while operating margins are likely to remain structurally healthy at around 28%, driven by operational efficiencies and increasing localisation. Nuvama also highlighted the proposed Rs 30,000 crore Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM) programme as a potential re-rating trigger once orders are awarded.</p>

<h2><strong>Data Patterns</strong></h2>

<p>Nuvama also remains constructive on Data Patterns, expecting revenue growth of around 22% year-on-year and healthy operating margins of nearly 34%, supported by favourable product mix and operating leverage. The brokerage estimates order inflows of around Rs 1,000 crore during the quarter, including Rs 460 crore already secured by mid-May.</p>

<h2><strong>HAL</strong></h2>

<p>On the other hand, HAL's near-term execution remains constrained as deliveries of LCA Tejas aircraft to the Indian Air Force are yet to begin despite the receipt of six GE engines. The brokerage expects only base execution from maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) activities and engine deliveries during the quarter, with a meaningful ramp-up likely only in the second half of FY27, subject to timely engine supplies.</p>

<h2><strong>Bharat Dynamics</strong></h2>

<p>For Bharat Dynamics, Nuvama expects modest revenue growth of around 15% year-on-year despite a healthy order backlog of Rs 26,000 crore and fiscal year 2027 order inflow guidance of Rs 15,000 crore. Margins, however, are likely to remain weak in the June quarter due to seasonality. The brokerage said execution of the existing backlog, margin recovery, production ramp-up at new facilities and progress on key missile programmes such as the Advanced Akash system will be key monitorables.</p>

<p>Looking at the broader sector, Nuvama noted that India's defence production reached Rs 1.78 trillion in fiscal year 2026, signalling a transition from import substitution towards the deployment of advanced defence systems. It believes the next phase of growth will be driven by indigenous capabilities in missiles, air defence systems, electronic warfare, radars, unmanned platforms and precision ammunition. The recent Rs 52,000 crore Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) approvals further reinforce this shift and strengthen the long-term outlook for companies with strong execution capabilities, high localisation and technology leadership.</p>]]></content:encoded>

       <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Former Arsenal manager and current FIFA chief of global football development Arsene Wenger made a prediction that Kylian Mbappe-led France will be winning the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026 and feels that if any team is capable of stopping them, it is the 2010 champions Spain, who he feels are at a better place "technically" than the two-time champions. France will continue their dominant FIFA World Cup run against Morocco in the quarterfinal, with the match being a repeat of the 2022 semifinal, which saw the journey of the African nation ending. On the other hand, Spain will be taking on 2018 bronze medalists Belgium, boasting of names like Romelu Lukaku, Kevin de Bruyne, and Thibaut Courtois.</p>

<p>Wenger has thrown his support to France lifting the trophy for the third time after witnessing their performances so far, which have been dominant except for a narrow 1-0 win in a highly physical match against Paraguay in the round of 16. Wenger feels that France's "speed" and momentum will make things difficult for their rivals, and they would be hard to match.</p>

<p>The Arsenal legend, 76, said on 'Felix and Toni Kroos Podcast' as quoted by Goal.com, "France will win the World Cup. I know you are going to say it is because I am French. But when you analyse the tournament a bit, the train is moving at a certain speed today. And you have to be capable of getting on board that train."</p>

<p>Despite European teams dominating the line-up for the quarterfinals, Wenger has dismissed Harry Kane-led side's chances at the trophy and also feels that Morocco and even the defending champions will struggle against France too. In his opinion, it is only the Luis de la Fuente-managed Spain that has the capability and technique to challenge France.</p>

<p>''For me, the real question mark is Spain. If any team is capable of beating France right now, I would say it is Spain. Because they have a better technical level than France. They have a quality of collective play, and a culture of collective play, that nobody else in the world has at the moment. Not at this level, anyway. So it is between those two in my opinion. After that, of course, France is stronger physically,'' he signed off.</p><p><i>(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)</i></p>]]></content:encoded>

       <description><![CDATA[France head coach Didier Deschamps was not happy after Kylian Mbappe was made to wait to take his penalty during the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarterfinal against Morocco.]]></description>
       <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>France head coach Didier Deschamps was not happy after Kylian <a title="Mbappe" href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/109633-kylian-mbappe-playerprofile">Mbappe</a> was made to wait to take his penalty during the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarterfinal against Morocco. Mbappe ended up missing the first-half penalty as it was saved by Yassine Bounou. However, the star striker had to wait more than three minutes after winning the penalty himself following&nbsp;a challenge by Noussair <a title="Mazraoui" href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/137739-mazraoui-playerprofile">Mazraoui</a> as the VAR checked for a possible dive. Deschamps hinted that the delay could have played a part in Mbappe's miss. The penalty miss did not prove to be costly as France ended up winning the game 2-0.</p>

<p>"I believe there was a VAR review and then a second review on a foul which took two minutes. I'm not sure what happened. It took a while and Kylian was ready to shoot. I don't want to find excuses, but it wasn't an easy situation," he said.</p>

<p>Mbappe carved his name deeper into football history, becoming the youngest player to feature in 20 FIFA World Cup matches and the fastest to reach the milestone of 20 World Cup goals after steering his side to its third FIFA World Cup semifinal.</p>

<p>The 27-year-old achieved the historic feat during France's win over Morocco at the Boston Stadium, where he recovered from a first-half penalty miss to score in the 60th minute before setting up teammate Ousmane <a title="Dembele" href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/109634-ousmane-playerprofile">Dembele</a> for the second.</p>

<p>While Argentina's Lionel <a title="Messi" href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/90996-lionel-messi-playerprofile">Messi</a> is the outright record holder for FIFA World Cup appearances with 30,&nbsp;Mbappe&nbsp;has become France's first-most capped player in the competition with 20 appearances. He is level with Hugo <a title="Lloris" href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/90787-hugo-lloris-playerprofile">Lloris</a> and ahead of <a title="Antoine Griezmann" href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/95866-antoine-griezmann-playerprofile">Antoine Griezmann</a>, Olivier <a title="Giroud" href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/93684-olivier-giroud-playerprofile">Giroud</a> and <a title="Raphael Varane" href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/96917-raphael-varane-playerprofile">Raphael Varane</a>.</p>

<p>With his eighth goal of the ongoing 2026 tournament,&nbsp;Mbappe&nbsp;has now taken his overall World Cup tally to 20 goals in just 20 appearances across three editions (2018, 2022, and 2026), just one goal shy of equalling Messi (21) for the most goals scored in the history of the competition.</p>

<p>France's all-time leading goalscorer Kylian&nbsp;Mbappe&nbsp;has cemented his place among the greatest players in FIFA World Cup history across his appearances at three editions of the tournament. He features prominently in numerous all-time rankings and boasts an impressive collection of individual records.</p>

<p>After France's 3-0 victory over Sweden at World Cup 2026, the 27-year-old Frenchman became the French player with the most wins in the tournament's history (15). His 16th triumph, against Paraguay, saw him draw level with Brazil's <a title="Cafu" href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/92723-cafu-playerprofile">Cafu</a> on the all-time list. Against Morocco in the quarter-final, he levelled with <a title="Miroslav Klose" href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/90138-miroslav-klose-playerprofile">Miroslav Klose</a> with 17 wins. Only Lionel Messi (20 wins) remains ahead of him.</p>

       <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>France captain Kylian <a href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/109633-kylian-mbappe-playerprofile" title="Mbappe">Mbappe</a> netted his eighth goal of the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026, breaking the deadlock in the second half of their quarter-final clash against Morocco in Boston. The goal not only took tied him with Lionel <a href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/90996-lionel-messi-playerprofile" title="Messi">Messi</a> in the Golden Boot race but also earned him a place in the World Cup record books. The 27-year-old became the first player in history to score 20 World Cup goals before turning 30. In fact, the only other player to reach the 20-goal mark at the World Cup is Messi, who has 21 goals to his name on football's biggest stage.</p>

<p>Mbappe had earlier missed a penalty in the first half, with his tame effort saved by Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou.</p>

<p>Mbappe had won the spot-kick after drawing a foul from Noussair <a href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/137739-mazraoui-playerprofile" title="Mazraoui">Mazraoui</a>, but he failed to convert from 12 yards.</p>

<p>The penalty decision proved contentious, with replays appearing to show that Mbappe had gone down before any contact from Mazraoui.</p>

<p>Mbappe was substituted in the 76th minute by France manager Didier Deschamps after the France captain appeared to suffer some discomfort.</p>

<p>Mbappe also provided the assist for France's second goal of the match, scored by reigning Ballon d'Or holder Ousmane <a href="https://sports.ndtv.com/football/players/109634-ousmane-playerprofile" title="Dembele">Dembele</a>.</p>

<p>Their 2-0 win four years ago in Qatar came in the semi-finals, and this time the victory for Les Bleus takes them through to the last four. They will face Spain or Belgium in Dallas next Tuesday.</p>

<p>France are looking to reach a third consecutive World Cup final in their last tournament before long-serving coach Didier Deschamps stands down.</p>

<p>Winners in 2018 and runners-up in 2022, it has felt like they have eased through to another semi-final and they were too strong for a Moroccan team lacking firepower in the absence of the injured Ismael Saibari.</p>

<p>Mbappe is one of the greatest goal-scorers of his generation, and the World Cup continues to bring the very best out of him.</p>

       <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Indian men's cricket team's T20I series defeat against England, following the loss in the fourth match in Bristol, has prompted a performance review. According to a BCCI source, the board is set to assess the performances of both the players and the coaching staff. Although head coach Gautam Gambhir's contract runs until 2027, his position has also come under scrutiny following the team's recent performances, according to a BCCI source. India, led by newly appointed captain Shreyas Iyer, suffered a nine-wicket defeat in the fourth T20I of the five-match series. The victory gave England an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series, with the opening match ending in a no-result. India suffered a four-wicket defeat in the second T20I before enduring a heavy 125-run loss in the third match, where they were bowled out for 76 while chasing a target of 202 runs.</p>

<p>Notably, this is India's second consecutive T20I series defeat as the defending T20 World Cup champions, following their 2-0 loss to Ireland before the England tour. The defeat against Ireland also marked India's first-ever series loss to the side.</p>

<p>Notably, both series defeats have come after the BCCI made a bold change by replacing experienced campaigner and 2026 T20I World Cup-winning captain Suryakumar Yadav as skipper with Shreyas Iyer.</p>

<p>The win in Bristol marked England's first-ever bilateral T20I series win over India in a contest of two or more matches.</p>

<p>Batting first, India managed 158/7, with Iyer scoring a fighting unbeaten 80 off 49 balls, but received little support from the rest of the batting line-up.</p>

<p>In reply, England made light work of the chase, reaching the target in just 13.5 overs thanks to explosive half-centuries from captain Harry Brook (79 off 35) and Phil Salt (59 off 42). Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue claimed two wickets apiece. India will now look to salvage some pride in the final T20I, while England will target a dominant series finish.</p>

       <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gaurav Khanna broke his silence on the ongoing speculation surrounding his relationship with Akanksha Chamola during his appearance on <em>Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa.</em> While confirming that they are living separately, Gaurav stressed that the couple are still legally married. The episode also saw the couple candidly discuss media scrutiny, their separation, personal struggles, and the public reaction to Akanksha's recent revelations.</p>

<p>Gaurav told Akanksha, "It (the divorce) is the biggest news right now. We discussed this in May before I left for <em>Khatron Ke Khiladi.</em> Everyone thinks that we have already been divorced for a year or so. They are saying that Akanksha was giving auditions in that show <em>(Bigg Boss)</em> and I was doing it for sympathy. So I had to come; I haven't told a single soul until today."</p>

<p>Responding to him, Akanksha clarified that she had already spoken about their situation on the show. She said, "But <em>maine show mein clearly bola hai ki ham separate reh rahe the 18 mahine se, abhi humne legal kiya hai </em>right before I entered the show."</p>

<p>Addressing rumours surrounding their separation, Gaurav added, "They have misunderstood and think that I'm taking you everywhere with me just to make you famous and all that."</p>

<p>The actor went on to speak about the intense public interest in their personal lives. "I'm just avoiding media. Everybody wants a piece of this pie. People are calling it fake. People think that I'm just acting. I was so surprised with the way people have taken it. They got an open ground to party, making up whatever stories they want," he said.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">I am glad Gaurav cleared everything up. They only decided to get divorced when he was leaving for KKK and bcoz of Chamola's confusing statements and lies, he ended up getting trolled for no reason with people accusing him of acting in BB.<a href="https://x.com/hashtag/GauravKhanna?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GauravKhanna</a> <a href="https://t.co/qfMZChMvdQ">pic.twitter.com/qfMZChMvdQ</a></p>

<script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>Despite their separation, Gaurav made it clear that he would not tolerate negative comments about Akanksha. He said, "I can't take anything against you because legally you are still my wife and I am still your husband. I don't like when people speak ill of anyone I've been with or I am with."</p>

<p>Sharing her perspective, Akanksha said, "If people cannot accept the fact that two people in a mature relationship can separate happily, with a smile, and as friends without fighting, then that is their problem."</p>

<p>The conversation later turned emotional as both opened up about the challenges of moving on. Gaurav admitted, "Getting separated is not an easy thing for me. I'm holding myself very strongly. It is very difficult when you don't have anyone to speak to."</p>

<p>Akanksha also got emotional and replied, "I don't have anyone to speak to. You're still in your house. You can still call your parents and talk. <em>Main kisi se baat nahi kar sakti."</em></p>

<p>The episode also featured a light-hearted moment when Akanksha asked Gaurav whether she stood a chance of winning the reality show. Before he could answer, Farah Khan intervened and said Akanksha did not need any advice about the game. Reacting jokingly, Gaurav said, "You don't think I know that? <em>Jo 10 saal se mere saath khel gayi, voh koi bhi show jeet sakti hai </em>(The person who played me for 10 years can win any show)."</p>

<p>A few days earlier, Akanksha had revealed that she is bisexual. Referring to that disclosure, Farah Khan said, "When her second secret was revealed, I even asked her, 'Does Gaurav know about it?'"</p>

<p>Akanksha responded, "Yeah, he accepted me." Gaurav then told Farah, "I have always said that you like someone like them completely. So, I have always been that guy."</p>

<p>Praising his support, Akanksha added, "He was very open-minded. He understood my feelings and everything, and he accepted graciously."</p>

<p>Later in the episode, Akanksha spoke about the criticism she has faced over her decision not to have children. Speaking to Pamela, she said, "For almost a year, I have been taking s***. I have been taking grief from everyone. I have been condemned and shamed for not wanting to have kids. These guys told me to leave him and said things like he wants to be a father. I am ruining his life, his chance to be a parent. But now you can't accept that we are separating also?"</p>

       <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tata Consultancy Services' Chief Operating Officer Aarthi Subramanian said the growing debate around token cost versus human cost in AI deployments is a false choice, arguing that enterprises are not trading one for the other as artificial intelligence adoption scales.</p>

<p>Speaking after the company's June quarter results, Subramanian said token cost has become a dominant theme in client conversations as generative AI and agentic AI workloads move into production together, bringing reasoning capability and workflow redesign into sharper focus. "That whole token cost of AI is a top conversation with customers," she said, adding that governing this cost has become a priority for enterprises and technology partners alike.</p>

<p>Pushing back on the framing that rising AI costs come at the expense of human capital, Subramanian said the two were not competing for the same budget. "I don't think this is a zero some game on token cost plus tech human cost," she said, arguing that as clients extract more value from AI, overall technology spending will rise rather than shrink.</p>

<p>Subramanian said the choice of AI model is increasingly being dictated by the nature of the workload rather than made on an ad hoc basis, a shift she compared to disciplines such as FinOps that emerged during the cloud computing wave. She said TCS and the wider industry were now building similar governance frameworks, sometimes described as AI Ops, to manage cost and control as adoption scales.</p>

<p>She also flagged that the rise of AI coding assistants had not diminished the importance of core technical skills within delivery teams, and that strong engineering fundamentals remain essential even as automation tools speed up development work.</p>

<p>On the broader AI opportunity, Subramanian said TCS's AI revenue rose to $2.6 billion in the quarter from $2.3 billion previously, though she cautioned that such projects tend to be short-cycle and discretionary in nature, requiring continuous new wins rather than annuity-style repeat business. Deal wins this quarter spanned business process operations, HR, finance and customer experience functions, alongside a mega deal with SKF covering AI-led IT operations and enterprise transformation.</p>

<p>Subramanian said TCS's decades of presence in client environments gave it an advantage in helping enterprises navigate the AI transition, describing the ability to embed technology into live business operations as work that requires deep contextual grounding built over time.</p>]]></content:encoded>
