  • India Prepares for Adelaide Test: Rohit Returns and Strong Bowling Attack

    India Prepares for Adelaide Test: Rohit Returns and Strong Bowling Attack

    India is heading into the Adelaide Test with a big boost of confidence after beating Australia in Perth to kick off the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 with an impressive win. The return of captain Rohit Sharma is a great news but also a puzzle for the team management, as they will need to adjust the batting order to fit him back in.

    Even though the batting order will likely change, Cheteshwar Pujara believes the bowling lineup should stay the same. If it means leaving out star bowlers Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, then that’s okay with him.

    In the first match of the series, India took a surprising decision not to play either Ashwin or Jadeja, despite their combined 855 Test wickets, and instead gave the only spinning role to Washington Sundar. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj led the pace attack while newcomers Harshit Rana and Nitish Reddy provided solid support.

    Bumrah, who stepped up as captain while Rohit was out, took eight wickets in the match. Siraj grabbed five wickets, and Rana impressed by taking four wickets in his debut. Reddy bowled just seven overs but also took one wicket. Sundar had a quiet start, bowling only two overs in the first innings but picked up two wickets in the second innings after bowling 15 overs.

    Pujara strongly believes that India should keep the same bowling group for the next Test starting on December 6. He praised the bowlers for their efforts, saying, “This bowling attack has worked well for us. Bumrah looked excellent, and Siraj performed really well, supported by Harshit, who did great for his first match.”

    Pujara appreciated Rana for staying calm and focused, despite the extra bounce on the pitches in Australia. He emphasized the need for bowlers to hit the right spots. Pujara also thinks they should stick with Sundar because he adds strength to the batting lineup. He mentioned that if India loses wickets, Washington can help lower down the order as a batter.

    “I think Washington didn’t start too well with his bowling but eventually got a couple of wickets by changing his pace. The reason for picking him in the squad was his batting ability. If we lose a few early wickets, he can step up,” said Pujara

  • Supreme Court Surprised as Balaji Becomes Minister Right After Bail

    Supreme Court Surprised as Balaji Becomes Minister Right After Bail

    New Delhi: The Supreme Court was surprised to learn that Senthil Balaji became a minister in Tamil Nadu right after he got bail for a money laundering case. Justices Abhay S Oka and Augustine George Masih expressed concerns, saying, “We grant bail, and the next day, you become a minister. This makes it seem like witnesses could be pressured.” The court was looking into a request to cancel the bail from September 26, mainly because Balaji’s new position might intimidate witnesses.

    The judges decided not to cancel the bail but will check if witnesses feel unsafe testifying against Balaji, who is now a senior cabinet minister. They asked Balaji’s lawyer to gather more information and set a next meeting for December 13.

    The court gave Balaji bail on September 26, even after finding serious reasons against him. They cited his long stay in jail since June 2023 and that the trial was unlikely to start soon. Balaji was sworn in as a minister just three days later, on September 29.

    Senthil Balaji was arrested on June 14, 2023, for a money laundering case linked to a cash-for-jobs scam when he was Tamil Nadu’s Transport Minister during the previous AIADMK government. This case dates back to 2018 and involves accusations from when he was in office from 2011 to 2015. He joined the DMK party in December 2018 and became the Electricity Minister after the party won in May 2021.

  • ICICI Bank’s B. Prasanna: Future of India’s GDP and Economic Recovery

    ICICI Bank’s B. Prasanna: Future of India’s GDP and Economic Recovery

    B Prasanna, the Group Head of Global Markets at ICICI Bank, spoke about the recent GDP numbers, which came as a surprise to many. He believes the economy has hit its lowest point and will start improving in the second half of the year. Although ICICI Bank predicts a decent GDP growth of around 6.5% in the second half and 6.3% for the whole year (FY25), these numbers are lower than what everyone expected, including the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which had anticipated over 7% growth earlier this year.

    Prasanna mentioned that a cut in the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR)—the money banks are required to hold with the RBI—would be crucial to encourage banks to lend more, especially to small and medium businesses. He doesn’t expect the RBI to cut interest rates in the December meeting but anticipates a 50-basis point reduction in CRR, possibly in two steps of 25 basis points each, accompanied by a more relaxed talk about future rate cuts.

    He acknowledged that the recent GDP growth of 5.4% was unexpected and significantly below predictions, mainly due to slower government spending and reduced manufacturing output. Factors such as heavy rainfall and tighter liquidity in the market have contributed to this slowdown.

    He believes that while the government aims to increase spending, it may be challenging due to the need to meet budget targets, especially with ongoing elections affecting their plans. However, he expects government spending to rise in the coming months.

    While infrastructure projects and real estate revival are helping the economy, there are concerns about slowing consumer spending and the private sector not stepping up as expected. Overall, Prasanna feels that the worst is likely over, but the recovery will not be quick enough to make up for earlier losses.

    Regarding the RBI’s next steps, Prasanna thinks they will prioritize managing both inflation and growth moving forward. He mentions that lowering expectations of inflation could allow for more flexibility in monetary policy. Therefore, while a big rate cut isn’t expected just yet, a CRR cut seems on the horizon to improve lending conditions, particularly for small businesses which need it the most.
