No justification to charge toll if roads in disrepair: Gadkari

NHAI's progressive tolling system evolution, led by minister Gadkari's vision for quality services, aims to enhance highway user experience. From prioritizing commercial vehicles with GNSS-based tolling to future integration of private vehicles, the system overhaul promises efficient and fair toll collection mechanisms nationwide. The minister said the field officers of NH agencies must be more sensitive towards the pain that people face waiting for long at toll plazas and there must be a mechanism for lodging grievances and their quick redressal.

'We're open to make changes if...': Rohit Sharma

Despite Rashid Khan's improved bowling figures of 3/26 against India, Suryakumar Yadav's exceptional innings of 53 off 28 balls propelled India to a total of 181 for 8 after they chose to bat first on a surface that made it difficult to hit through the line. Afghanistan's run chase never gained momentum, and they were bowled out for 134 in exactly 20 overs. The Afghan batters' questionable shot selection contributed to their downfall and extended their winless streak against India.

As the Indian team prepares to face Afghanistan in their opening Super Eight stage match of the T20 World Cup 2024 on Thursday in Barbados, the focus is squarely on the batting performance, especially that of ex-skipper Virat Kohli.

'They dropped Rinku': Internet stunned after India's collapse

Pakistan bowled out India for 119 in their World Cup Group A match at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf claimed three wickets each as India were dismissed with a full over remaining of their allotted 20. Rishabh Pant's 42 from 31 balls gives the Indians some sort of total to defend on what is a tricky surface at the New York venue after they lost openers Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli cheaply.

Anrich Nortje dismantled Sri Lanka with career-best figures of 4/7, leading South Africa to a six-wicket victory in their T20 World Cup opener on Monday by capitalizing on the available bounce. Playing at a venue where India is set to compete in three of their four Group A league matches, Sri Lanka's decision to bat first proved costly.
