India top pacer Shami asked to pay Rs400,000 in monthly alimony
The order directs him to pay Rs 150,000 per month for his estranged wife, Hasin Jahan's personal maintenance and Rs 250,000 towards the care and expenses of their daughter.
Earlier, the cricketer had been directed to pay her Rs 50,000 per month and an additional Rs 80,000 for their daughter's expenses. Which Jahan then appealed, in which her legal counsel argued that Shami's financial circumstances could support a higher alimony amount.
According to his income tax return for the financial year 2021, Shami's annual income was approximately Rs 6 million per month. Jahan claimed her combined monthly expenses, including those for her daughter, exceeded Rs 600,000.
The High Court ruled in her favour after taking these details into account.
In 2014, former model and Kolkata Knight Riders cheerleader Hasin Jahan tied the knot with Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami. The following year, they welcomed a daughter.
However, by 2018, their marriage had taken a turbulent turn. Jahan publicly leveled serious accusations against Shami, including domestic abuse, dowry-related harassment, and even involvement in match-fixing. She further claimed that Shami had ceased to support her financially, deepening the rift between them.

Ask Mina: Al Hilal's tactical masterclass, Inter running on fumes
Q: Did you watch Al Hilal crush Manchester City! How did they manage it? @Faisalehh via Instagram A: It was an incredible match, perhaps the game of the tournament so far! A seven-goal thriller that no one saw coming. But Al Hilal didn't crush them. Manchester City were the only team to win all three of their group-stage matches – and they didn't top their group by accident. Their goal was clear: avoid Real Madrid. A smoother path to the quarter-finals was targeted, with Al Hilal seen as the 'easier' opponent. Instead, it was Al Hilal who stole the spotlight – and knocked City out. Credit goes to Simone Inzaghi. His team produced a disciplined, incisive counter-attacking performance – exactly the kind he's built his reputation on. Set up in a 5-4-1 formation, Al Hilal targeted City's weakness in transition and capitalised on their players' strengths, especially Malcom. Hilal's standout forward drove forward with intent and exploited space with pace and precision. City simply couldn't cope with his speed. Without Aleksandar Mitrovic, there were questions about where the goals would come from, but Inzaghi's system provided the answer. The real hero, though, was Bono. The Moroccan goalkeeper – a star of the 2022 World Cup – was exceptional. He made 10 saves to Ederson's two, keeping City at bay despite their 30 shots (14 on target). Without him, the scoreline could've been ugly. What stood out most was Al Hilal 's mentality. Inzaghi has already instilled a clear sense of belief and structure. The team worked tirelessly, tackled, and won the key duels. Ironically, it was City's opening goal that ignited their ferocity – it seemed to provoke the Saudi side into action. From that moment on, they played with intensity and conviction, delivering one of the Fifa Club World Cup's most dramatic upsets. Q: Ruben Neves is one of the best midfielders in the world. Are Al Hilal building around him or do you think he'll come back to Wolves? @Zaido via Instagram A: I don't see Ruben Neves returning to Wolves anytime soon. But the admiration for him remains deep, as shown by the wave of affection that followed his decisive penalty for Portugal in the Uefa Nations League final. He left a lasting mark at Molineux; few overseas players have connected so completely with a fan base. For now, though, Neves is flourishing at Al Hilal. He played a central role in their victory over Manchester City, helping guide the team into the Club World Cup quarter-finals. It's been a standout month for him, both individually and collectively. Throughout the group stage, he dictated the pace of play, anchoring midfield with assurance. In matches against Real Madrid and RB Salzburg, he led all players in completed passes – a clear reflection of his composure and intelligence. Inzaghi's system demands versatility. His teams shift fluidly between attacking through central channels and stretching play out wide, depending on where the spaces are. Neves fits in perfectly. He's technically gifted, positionally astute, and equally capable of stepping into a defensive role, as he did against City, when the tactical balance requires it. What sets him apart, though, is his ability to hit long, accurate diagonals. With Al Hilal's forwards stretching the backline, Neves becomes the architect, picking passes few others can see. Add to that his threat on set pieces, and it's easy to see why he's so crucial to Inzaghi's vision. Q: Are you surprised that Inter lost to Fluminense in the Club World Cup? I can't see a bright future for the Italians. @AliRasekh via X A: Inter's performance against Fluminense wasn't just disappointing, it was lethargic, disjointed, and well below the standard expected of a team with their ambitions. They switched off almost instantly, allowing Fluminense to strike early and seize control of the match. The Brazilians were superb in maintaining a compact shape, counter-attacking with precision, and halting the Italians from establishing a playing rhythm, not unlike what Al Hilal managed against Manchester City. At the back, Fabio, their 44-year-old goalkeeper, was excellent. Despite enjoying 68% possession, Inter offered little in the way of genuine threat. The ball moved sideways far too often, with minimal movement off it and a final third that completely lacked invention. Lautaro Martinez was uncharacteristically sluggish, while Federico Dimarco came closest with an effort off the bar. Inter only really came to life in the final 15 minutes. By then, it was far too late. Still, it's hard to ignore the fatigue. This was Inter's 63rd game of the season, and it looked like it. Static in attack, slow to recover, a team running on fumes. Perhaps that's why Beppe Marotta has been so vocal about shifting towards younger profiles in the market. Manager Christian Chivu needs time. For now, the verdict is simple: Inter weren't good enough. Q: Liverpool have done some great business in the transfer market. Do you think Darwin Nunez will go to Napoli and why do they want him? @Kidilby via Instagram A: I think Nunez is an intriguing fit, more suited to Antonio Conte's vertical, high-intensity football than what Arne Slot wants to implement at Liverpool. Nunez has always been a forward who plays on instinct rather than structure. He thrives in space, attacks relentlessly, and presses with purpose. But in a system that demands patience, close control, and combination play – like Slot's Liverpool – he often looks disconnected. That's not a knock on the player, just a reminder that tactical fit matters. Working under Conte at Napoli, especially in a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3, Darwin begins to make sense. He works best alongside a more grounded, physical striker, someone who holds the line while he roams, presses, and attacks space. Think of the role Romelu Lukaku played under Conte at Inter. Nunez, in that context, could be devastating. His aggression, directness, and stamina are tailor-made for Conte's demands. But there are barriers, big ones. According to Fabrizio Romano, the deal is currently at a stalemate Liverpool want as much as €65 million for the striker, and that's a price Napoli are unlikely to meet, especially with the Victor Osimhen saga unresolved. Napoli don't splash cash and have to work within their financial constraints. Liverpool, for their part, rejected offers from Saudi Arabian clubs in January because they lacked reliable alternatives up front. Now, with a need to sell before making new signings, Nunez's diminished role in the squad and the constant criticism he's faced are likely to weigh heavily on his market value. Q: Rasmus Hojlund looked like a great player at Atalanta. Why was he so poor for Manchester United? @PBouHabib via Instagram A: Who has it really worked out for at Manchester United in recent years? The club hasn't operated under a cohesive, long-term project for some time. Squad-building involves more than collecting 'best-in-class' players. You either recruit players to fit a manager's tactical system or appoint a pragmatic coach who can maximise the resources at hand. United have done neither. Hojlund is clearly talented, but talent alone is never enough. He arrived at Old Trafford off the back of just one season at Atalanta, where he scored nine goals in 32 appearances. In Italy, he played in a system built around verticality, fluidity, and controlled chaos. But expecting a youngster to lead the line at United – a club with a revolving door of managers, tactical shifts, and public scrutiny – was always a monumental ask. Ruben Amorim's ideals demand different movement, more patience, and clinical decision-making – areas where Hojlund is still raw. His confidence has clearly dipped, further compounding the misery. His runs were predictable, his positioning inconsistent, and he was simply not producing enough shots on goal. It must also be said that Amorim's United didn't generate many high-quality chances for their forwards. And strikers, no matter how talented, cannot thrive without service.

'Love watching him play' - Stokes in awe of India star
On Day 1 of the first Test against India, England found a breakthrough when Ben Stokes dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal soon after his century, a crucial moment in the game at the time. As Rishabh Pant walked in, England might have sensed an opportunity, only for Pant to make his intent clear immediately. He calmly pushed the first ball he faced to mid-on, and then, off the very next delivery, launched it straight back over Stokes' head for a commanding boundary. Stokes didn't try to hide his adulation for the batter, bursting into laughter right after Pant's audacious shot, impressed by the sheer brilliance of the 27-year-old. Ben Stokes had a fun exchange with Rishabh Pant right after the boundary // Getty Images The England captain didn't hold back in his praise for the wicketkeeper-batter, even while speaking at the press conference on the eve of the second Test. 'Even though he's my opposition, I absolutely love watching Rishabh play cricket,' Stokes said. 'I love the way he takes it on, in all formats of the game. He got stick in his time, but when you let that type of talent be free, that's what can happen like last week, credit to him for two hundreds in the game. 'We know we're going to get our chances, with the way Rishabh plays. So yeah, it's one of them. On a different day, it could have looked a little bit different if one of those had gone straight up and into hands, but yeah, (he is) a very dangerous player. We know what he brings to the Indian team but I really enjoy watching Rishabh play cricket.' Rishabh Pant lit up the first Test with scores of 134 in the first innings and 118 in the second. He was well supported by centuries from Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and KL Rahul. Yet, even the mountain of runs wasn't enough to deny England a stunning win. Ollie Pope's century narrowed the gap to just six runs from India's first-innings total of 471, and when set a target of 371, it was Ben Duckett's blistering hundred alongside fifties from Joe Root and Zak Crawley that powered England to their second-highest successful chase at home. England have their tails up after being 1-0 and have been further boosted by the inclusion of Jofra Archer in the squad, though they have named an unchanged XI for the second Test. Stokes was thrilled to have Archer back in the mix, even if he wasn't featuring just yet. The England skipper has his eyes on the bigger picture for the fiery pacer, who hasn't played a Test since 2021 due to constant injuries. 'To have him back with us here after such a long time is I think first and foremost great for him. Great for the team,' Stokes said. 'I felt it was important, even if he didn't get selected this week, that he spends time around the group. Because I think hopefully we will see him play a part in this series going forward. So that time spent with Jof with the other individuals in this group is very important for the rest of the series, you know, not just the performances out on the field as well.' Jofra Archer bags two wickets in the Powerplay | #ENGvOMA | T20WC 2024 Stokes faced Archer in the nets and, by his own admission, was quickly reminded of the pacer's remarkable skill and rhythm. England have sorely missed Archer's presence across all formats. After a successful return to white-ball cricket over the past year, the 30-year-old is now eyeing a long-awaited comeback to the Test arena. 'Red ball, white ball, we all know that he is an incredibly gifted cricketer,' Stokes noted. 'We see him when he walks out onto the field for England when he's got that ball in his hands. 'The whole atmosphere of the game just changes, regardless of what situation he's in. And yeah, facing him in the nets there, he got the ball swinging quite nicely and just effortless pace. And it's been a while since I've faced them, so a little bit of a wake-up call for me as well." Archer on fire with the new ball | AFG v ENG | Champions Trophy 2025 Archer on fire with the new ball | AFG v ENG | Champions Trophy 2025 Now that Archer is back in the mix, Stokes is confident the pacer needs no extra motivation to reclaim his spot as a permanent all-format force. 'I've been in constant communication with him since the injury troubles hit him,' Stokes said. 'And, I said it a few times, he was so determined to get back to playing Test cricket. He loves playing cricket, he loves playing for England. And for him to be here now, I don't think I could really explain what needs to give Jofra Archer any more desire to get back out on the field and represent England in the Test arena.' As the series moves to Edgbaston, England will be eager to build on their winning momentum and solidify their strong start to the new World Test Championship cycle. India, meanwhile, in transition under new leadership, will be keen to regroup and bounce back.
