"Just 24 Or 25...": Ex-India Star's Clear Verdict On Shubman Gill Becoming Test Captain
Former India wicketkeeper-batter Robin Uthappa has praised the selection committee for appointing a young captain in Shubman Gill for the upcoming Test series against England. Gill replaces the now-retired Rohit Sharma at the helm. Virat Kohli too is no longer part of the Test setup following his retirement from the format last month. Uthappa highlighted how Gill, 25, could end up leading the Indian team for the next decade or so if he manages to do well in England. "You have got to give tops to that selection committee because they have gone with foresight. Shubman is just 24 or 25 right now. If he gets this right, then you can see him leading the Indian Test side for the next 10 years, the next decade, and that leaves Indian cricket in great hands because he is a high-quality bat," Uthappa said on Star Sports. Uthappa praised Gill for his leadership during the recently-concluded IPL season, where he led Gujarat Titans to the playoffs after a disappointing first campaign as captain last year. "We have seen his captaincy evolve from last year to this year just in the IPL, just the way he led the Gujarat Titans, the intensity with which he functioned, the decisions he made on the field, and the way he stood up for his teammates with the umpires or anything that happened on the field," he added. Uthappa pointed a bright future for Gill as captain in international cricket. "He is going to be a great leader. He is a smart cricketer. He has got a good brain for the game. He understands his game deeply. He is very talented, and he is a nice human being. He has all the raw materials to become a really good leader," Uthappa explained. "The one thing I like about Shubman is that he will walk his talk as well. He is very organized and diligent around his training and his preparation, which will be a great example to other players. I think he is primed to take on the international scene by storm," he further pointed out.

Elon Musk's net worth sees massive increase of $191 million and it was sparked by just one sentence
Tech mogul Elon Musk's net worth saw a massive increase of $191 million, reaching $411.4 billion, shortly after he publicly expressed regret for his critical social media posts directed at President Donald Trump. This could be seen as a sign of recovering investor sentiment following his public apology over controversial tweets about Trump. In a post on Wednesday morning on X (formerly Twitter), Musk wrote: 'I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far." The remarks of Elon Musk came amid escalating tensions and a political standoff between him and Trump over the 'big, beautiful bill'. The rift between Musk and Trump ignited when Musk openly criticised Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' outlining the annual spending of the US government. The disagreement escalated, with Musk posting a series of harsh comments about Trump, some of which he later deleted.

Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, killed himself in prison in 2019. Live Events However, Musk quickly backtracked this week, apologising and saying his posts against 'went too far'. Musk's apology also came ahead of a major product launch for Tesla next week. Signs of reconciliation emerged as early as Saturday, when Elon Musk deleted several of his most controversial posts about Donald Trump. In what looked like a clear effort to de-escalate an intensifying feud, Musk removed tweets from Thursday morning that criticized Trump. Among the deleted posts were ones linking Trump to the Epstein files, calling for his impeachment, and suggesting that JD Vance should take his place as President.

Reports indicate that Musk called Trump on Monday, ahead of his public remarks on Wednesday. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later confirmed that President Trump had seen the message and was "appreciative of it." In an interview, Trump added, "I thought it was very nice that he did that." Trump calls Elon Musk 'a friend' Trump referred to Elon Musk as 'a friend of mine' Thursday — but added that his former 'first buddy' got 'strange' last week when they traded attacks.

Sensex, Nifty decline amid geopolitical tension and trade uncertainty
Indian equities declined on Thursday amid uncertainty surrounding the US–China trade deal and rising geopolitical tensions. The Sensex ended at 81,692, a decline of 823 points or 1 per cent. The Nifty, meanwhile, ended the session at 24,888, a fall of 253 points or 1.01 per cent. Investors were jittery despite US President Donald Trump's claim on Wednesday that a tariff framework with China had been reached. Concerns about elevated geopolitical tensions further dented sentiment after Iran said it would strike US bases in the Middle East if nuclear talks failed. The US, in response, said its personnel were being moved out of the Middle East as it could become a dangerous place. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East could push Brent crude prices higher—a key negative for India, which imports most of its crude oil requirements. Aviation stocks declined after a fatal crash of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner operated by Air India left more than 200 people dead. The shares of Indian aviation firms fell. The stock of InterGlobe Aviation, which owns IndiGo, dropped 2.7 per cent, while that of SpiceJet declined by 1.8 per cent. Shares of helicopter services firm Global Vectra Helicorp fell by 0.1 per cent, and those of chartered aircraft carrier Taal Enterprises declined by 3.05 per cent. In the near future, negotiations between the US and its trading partners, as well as geopolitical developments, will determine market direction. 'The Nifty has once again approached the support zone of its short-term moving average—the 20-day EMA—which currently lies around the 24,800 mark. A decisive break below this level could lead the index back into a consolidation phase. Given the prevailing uncertainty, we recommend maintaining strict stop-losses in short-term trades, particularly in the mid-cap and small-cap space. It is also advisable to avoid aggressive long positions until a clearer directional trend emerges,' said Ajit Mishra, senior vice-president – research, Religare Broking. Barring three, all Sensex constituents declined. Larsen & Toubro, which fell 2.2 per cent, was the biggest contributor to the Sensex decline, followed by Infosys, which dropped 1.4 per cent. The market breadth was weak, with 2,780 stocks declining and 1,226 advancing.
