'Don't think he's ever going to make India debut': Fans lose patience as contender for Rohit Sharma's Test spot fails
The Indian Test team's preparations for the five-Test England tour are underway, with the A side locking horns in the first of two unofficial Tests against England Lions. While the series carries no official status, its significance couldn't be higher for players vying for spots in the senior side, especially in the wake of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's retirements from Test cricket. On a damp, overcast morning at Chester-le-Street, India A were sent in to bat on a green-tinged wicket tailor-made for seam and swing. The focus was on Abhimanyu Easwaran, the man leading the side and one who is also among the frontrunners to fill the void left by Rohit at the top of the order. But when the opportunity came, Easwaran failed to leave a mark. The Bengal opener, known for his discipline in the longer format, scratched his way to an uncomfortable 8 off 17 balls before edging behind. The innings was neither fluent nor convincing, a missed chance in conditions he was expected to counter. With the new ball hooping around corners, Easwaran's tentative footwork and indecision stood out, and not in the way he'd have hoped. The fans were also disappointed with Easwaran. At the other end, Yashasvi Jaiswal, too, failed to make a mark despite a more assured start, as he departed for 24 off 55 deliveries. The left-hander, already established in India's first-choice XI, blunted the early movement with composure and clarity but nicked one for wicketkeeper James Rew in the 17th over. For India's selectors and team management, this setback from Easwaran comes at a critical juncture. The door to India's Test XI doesn't open often, and when it does, it demands impact. Having waited patiently for a break, the 28-year-old now finds himself under pressure as he awaits the second innings. If he fails to impress again, India may be forced to revisit a familiar option: KL Rahul. Though Rahul has recently batted in the middle order, his experience as an opener may sway the decision-makers back in his favour, especially with challenging English conditions. Rahul has also reportedly urged the BCCI to travel to England ahead of the second multi-day match against England Lions.

MRG Crown Luxury 2.0: The Epitome of Elite Living on Dwarka Expressway
The luxury real estate market in the NCR region is gaining ground, where cities like Gurugram are seeing a meteoric rise. The city witnessed a strong demand for luxury homes last year, with sales rising 66% to nearly Rs. 1.07 Lakh Crore, as per PropEquity. As per the data, housing sales rose to Rs. 1,06,739 crore last year from Rs. 64,314 crore in 2023 calendar year. Due to its growing affluence, improved infrastructure, and changing lifestyle preferences, the city has become a magnet for premium homebuyers. MRG Crown Luxury 2.0: The Epitome of Elite Living on Dwarka Expressway At the core of this transformation lies the Dwarka Expressway corridor, renowned for its upscale residential developments. Its seamless connectivity to Delhi, IGI Airport, and upcoming metro lines makes it especially attractive. What's driving interest here is the rise of premium developments that strike the perfect balance between privacy and convenience, catering to those who seek sophistication without compromise. Further, this growth is attributed to a growing corporate presence and ample employment opportunities in the region. In addition, with the influx of high-net-worth individuals and NRIs looking to invest back home and an emerging class of affluent millennials, the demand for premium homes soared to record levels in the region. Aligning with this growth appetite, leading real estate players are raising the bar of urban living on the Dwarka Expressway. Among the key contributors, MRG Group has made a strong statement with its flagship project, MRG Crown, in Sector 106. With a Rs. 500 crore investment, the project redefined the luxury residential experience in the corridor.

Possession is slated for 2027, giving residents a clear timeline for moving into a thoughtfully curated urban haven. At the heart of the project lies the 1.5-acre Leisure Island, a green sanctuary within the gated community, alongside a 22,000 sq. ft. clubhouse curated for high-end indulgence, offering a half Olympic-sized swimming pool, sports courts, wellness zones, lounge areas, and fine dining options. Additional features include EV charging stations, visitor parking, private terrace gardens, and dedicated basement workspaces, catering to the needs of modern urban lifestyles. Moreover, MRG Crown Luxury 2.0 is an epitome of exceptional architectural design. The project is envisioned by renowned Padma Bhushan awardee Hafeez Contractor, whose architectural finesse lends the development a distinctive and timeless appeal. Complementing this is the lush, immersive landscape design by Juilee Deoskar, celebrated for crafting nature-infused environments that elevate everyday living. Together, their vision brings to life a harmonious blend of form, function, and serenity, setting a new benchmark for upscale residential design in Gurugram. Besides, the project is strategically positioned along the Dwarka Expressway and enjoys exceptional connectivity. Located at the nexus of key transit hubs such as IGI Airport, Gurgaon Railway Station, and the proposed metro corridor, MRG Crown offers residents seamless accessibility to Delhi, Gurugram, and beyond, making it one of the most connected premium addresses in the region.
