Dean Huijsen has underlined the importance of Real Madrid's upcoming fixtures after their 4-1 victory over Sevilla, with the defender turning his attention towards Wednesday's Champions League meeting with RB Leipzig and the subsequent El Clasico against Barcelona.
Speaking to Real Madrid's official media after the win at the Santiago Bernabeu, Huijsen stressed the need to approach the demanding schedule one match at a time.
The Spanish defender also highlighted the significance of playing at home, welcomed Eder Militao's return from injury and explained why securing three points against Leipzig could prove crucial to Madrid's European campaign.
"We're looking forward to what's next," he began saying.
"We have the Champions League on Wednesday, we're taking it one step at a time, and then we play Barcelona. It's an important week for us."

Nahla Aubry, 18, has defended her mother Halle Berry against allegations made by Olivier Martinez.
Halle Berry's 18-year-old daughter, Nahla Aubry, has spoken out in defense of her mother amid an ongoing custody dispute involving Berry and her ex-husband Olivier Martinez. In a declaration filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Nahla said she had never witnessed Berry act violently toward anyone or physically abuse 13-year-old Maceo.
Nahla described Berry as a "loving and devoted parent" who is warm, supportive, and deeply involved in her children's lives. She said she has lived with Maceo for most of his life and has never seen her mother hit, slap, choke, grab, or otherwise physically abuse him. Nahla also said she has seen her mother and Maceo playfully wrestle and interact affectionately, adding that she never saw him appear hurt or distressed afterward.
Nahla said she was "shocked, very sad, and very upset" when she learned about the allegations. She also said Berry has encouraged both children to maintain relationships with their fathers and has not spoken negatively about either man to them.
Martinez, Berry's former husband and Maceo's father, has sought sole custody of their son. In court filings, he alleged that Berry physically abused Maceo during a Sept. 26 incident, including allegations that she put her hands around the boy's neck and choked him.

Saldaña says her 30s brought self-discovery with her mental health journey after a difficult period in her 20s
She partnered with Lancôme and the Anxiety and Depression ******* ociation of America for the "I'm Fine" campaign ahead of World Mental Health Day
The actress urges women to seek support, noting many hide their feelings by saying they are fine
For Zoe Saldaña, there have always been ups and downs when it comes to dealing with her mental health.
"I think it comes in waves," the 48-year-old tells PEOPLE. "There are seasons where I feel ahead of it and I feel capable. And then there are times where I fall behind because I'm tired or really stressed. It's life. Life tends to either get ahead of you or be behind you, and I'm always trying to kind of read the room, you know?"

Former Bachelor Australia star and fitness coach Sam Wood will remain in jail after he was denied bail over alleged domestic violence offences.
Wood was arrested on Saturday at a beachfront property on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, and later charged with domestic violence ***** ault and strangulation.
His lawyer told the court on Thursday Wood may argue he acted in self defence during a family fight, but stressed he denies the strangulation charge.
The 46-year-old rose to fame in the 2015 season of the reality TV show and later became the public face of a popular online home fitness and nutrition brand, 28 by Sam Wood - from which he was dumped after his arrest.
Wood - who lives in Melbourne but was on holiday in Noosa - appeared via videolink at Maroochydore Magistrates Court where he applied for bail after five nights in custody.

Slayyyter appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers to discuss her newly announced album wor$t man in america, but her love of vintage showgirl costumes also became part of the conversation. She shared that an old French cabaret costume she had worn for a music video apparently contained hazardous materials and gave her a rash.

The showgirl context is really key to understanding why this MYAT Fall 2026 dress was chosen.
The distressed pleated silk is formed to create a showgirl silhouette through the fitted strapless bodice, high-low hemline and dramatic trailing volume. I don't feel that it looks like a literal costume, but I'm sure many will strongly disagree.
It's fun and playful, and it leans into what she loves, with MIRAKI jewels and decorative Jimmy Choo Sacora sandals adding even more personality without competing with the dress.

Oct 3 - Women, some citing their own experiences of ******* ual ******* ault, are posting on social media that they are Jane Doe, in solidarity with the woman using the pseudonym in accusing fraternity members of raping her at Cornell University in 2024.
In a case that has drawn national attention, the woman is suing ‌seven fraternity members and the Ivy League school in Ithaca, New York, among others.
And although New York law allows "Jane Doe" anonymity for ******* ual ******* ault lawsuits, the Cornell student has become distressed ‌at attempts by some online skeptics of her account to discover her name and publish it, her lawyer said.
"I want us to support Jane Doe in coming to her own way of identifying herself in her own time," said Twanna LaTrice Hill, a writer and actor in Denver who has declared #IamJaneDoe on social media in recent days. "And if she never does, that's fine. But the flip side of that is that the people like me need to speak up if we are able to."

For his first-ever fashion show, Martin Andrijasevic, one half of the fan-favorite content-creating duo Slushy Noobz, used a face wash. "I washed my face with a cleanser, which I don't do normally and I probably should, but I thought that this would be a great day to do it," he tells Teen Vogue. Hamzah Al-Emad, the other star of Slushy Noobz, commemorated the moment with deodorant and Chapstick. "Feeling confident," he adds.
Attending Acne Studios' Women's Spring Summer 2027 show at Paris Fashion Week, Andrijasevic and Al-Emad, were dressed by the brand and styled by Kim Russell. A pink polo and low-rise pinstripe pants, complete with the Camero shoulder bag, gave Andrijasevic's front row look a Y2K flair. Al-Emad similarly wore a 00s-inspired outfit with a faux fur-trimmed jacket and jeans in Acne Studios' signature distressed wash.
Teen Vogue caught up with Slushy Noobz as they got ready for the show, discussing everything from mogging to their fashion icons.
Martin: Because it's only the coolest thing ever. We like fashion. We dress up a lot.

While it's extremely difficult to predict a stock market pullback, there are certainly harbingers that the market could be in for a rough ride over the coming month. The September-October period ahead of U.S. mid-term elections is historically a volatile one. In fact, Cantor Fitzgerald notes that the S&P 500 index has fallen by 5% or more during these two months in 15 of the past 24 midterm election cycles.
At the same time, two major market valuation indicators point to stocks being at extremely frothy valuations. The S&P 500 Shiller CAPE (cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings) ratio is at over 40 times for the first time since before the dot.com market crash. The so-called Buffett indicator (U.S. stock market value divided by gross domestic product), named after Warren Buffett, is over 230%, well above the 120% where the market is considered overvalued. Throw in a war and a stressed consumer, and the ingredients for a market pullback are there.

There is no guarantee of a big market dip, and even if there were one, I wouldn't panic. Instead, I'd view it as a strong buying opportunity. AI has changed the equation, leading to big productivity gains that are just beginning, and stocks are generally cheap on a forward basis. The market today is very different than in the past. The S&P 500 is no longer led by cyclical and financial companies. Instead, it's dominated by large tech companies with strong balance sheets that produce enormous operating cash flow.
Let's look at five exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to scoop up if the market dips in the coming month.

Matt Bell, 52, has been farming for more than half his life in central North Carolina. He grows soybeans, corn and wheat and raises beef cattle on more than 1,000 acres. But Bell, who voted for President Trump, says soaring prices for fuel, fertilizer, and equipment are hurting his farm and leading some of his fellow farmers to consider calling it quits once this growing season ends.
"I've done this 34 years. I have never worried and stressed like I have the last year," Bell told CBS News in an interview on Wednesday at his farm in Kings Mountain, North Carolina.
Bell has been forced to make significant changes to his operation as a result of the high costs. He's shifting some of his acreage, trying to stretch out the lifespan of his equipment and producing his own fertilizer. His children have also opened up a storefront where visitors can pick pumpkins and take hayrides in the fall. But Bell is still feeling the pinch.
"We've cut everything we can cut," he said. "The last several years in agriculture have been terrible, and we have, you know, just cut the fat anywhere we could. But we're just getting to the point now there's nothing left to cut. You cannot run without fuel. You cannot run without fertilizer. You have to have that."

Mytheresa reached a EUR 1 billion milestone in FY 2026, outperforming the industry through superior customer economics where top customers (4.8% of base) generated 48.4% of total GMV.
NET-A-PORTER and MR PORTER reached a strategic inflection point, returning to top-line growth and positive adjusted EBITDA in Q4 by pivoting from promotional discounting to editorial-led luxury discovery.
YOOX's turnaround is being driven by a deliberate retreat from high-cost overseas markets to focus on a 'healthy core' in Europe, resulting in losses being cut nearly in half compared to the prior year.

The Cleveland Browns were unable to overcome the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week One of the 2026-27 NFL season, 34-10.
Cleveland's disastrous performance on Sunday afternoon fell on the hands of the offense, as the unit failed to consistently move the ball downfield. This unfortunately forced the defense into brutal field position for most of the contest, which led to Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence's incredible four-touchdown performance.
During his opening remarks to the media following the loss, head coach Todd Monken told reporters that the Browns "didn't execute on the road" the way they expected to this past weekend.
"We didn't execute on the road the way we expected," Monken claimed. "Without really seeing the tape, the obvious issues came in operation, and a couple delay of games and false starts that we thought we cleaned up, but obviously we didn't."
One of the most pressing issues for the Browns' offense on Sunday was the simple line-of-scrimmage operations that Monken stressed for most of the offseason.

West Ham United have received a warning despite their emphatic 6-0 win over Wrexham, with former Championship striker Bradley Allen urging caution before winter. The comments, originally broadcast by BBC Radio London and covered by Inside Futbol, followed a performance that gave Nuno Espírito Santo's side a boost in the promotion race.
Six players scored, including captain Jarrod Bowen and Joel Piroe, while West Ham created 19 shots on goal and kept a clean sheet. Allen described the display as outstanding from start to finish and said West Ham possessed too much quality for Wrexham. Yet he stressed that bigger tests await, particularly as the winter schedule stacks fixtures together. His message was: West Ham can leave the Championship quickly, but the examination has not arrived.
Allen said on BBC Radio London: "What a performance, outstanding from start to finish, a clean sheet as well.
"Playing dominant football in front of a big crowd.
"That will put down a marker, but there will be bigger tests; we haven't got to the depths of winter.

Most investors bury their mistakes in a footnote. Warren Buffett prints his in the shareholder letter, in plain English, with his name on it.
For most of the past decade, the story around Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) (BRK.B) and its industrial businesses was maintenance rather than growth. Railroads, utilities, insurance float, a slow grind of cash into the same pile.
The exciting money went somewhere else. It went into chips, cloud contracts and anything with a graphics processing unit bolted to it.
That framing skipped a physical step. Before one chip in a new data center draws a watt, somebody has to build the machine that produces the watt.
And the hottest, most stressed piece inside that machine is a cast slab of superalloy that only a handful of companies on earth know how to pour without cracking it.

Six weeks after AI bets nearly wrecked his hedge fund, Leopold Aschenbrenner is putting money into the same companies again. His hedge fund, Situational Awareness, bought call options on AMD, Bloom Energy, CoreWeave, SK Hynix and SanDisk, CNBC reported, citing sources. The trades ran from late last week into this week.
The former OpenAI researcher became famous for a 2024 essay arguing that AI could reach human-level intelligence by 2027. He built an investment business around that belief, backing companies supplying the computing capacity and electricity AI needs.
July exposed how dangerous that bet had become. Borrowed money magnified falling share prices, triggering demands for cash the fund could not meet. **** ets shrank from a peak above $45 billion to roughly $10 billion, according to CNBC.
Ken Griffin's Citadel bought distressed holdings at a discount. Situational Awareness kept private investments, including Anthropic. The SEC later subpoenaed Wall Street banks over their dealings with the fund. The reported inquiry carried no allegation of wrongdoing.
His return uses call options: contracts that let buyers purchase shares at a fixed price before a deadline. When paid for upfront without borrowing, their losses are capped at the purchase cost. That entire amount can still disappear if the options expire worthless.

India's search for consistency in T20I cricket will continue with a three-match series against Afghanistan, but the team's batting combination could once again come under scrutiny, particularly with vice-captain Tilak Varma's role yet to appear fully settled.

India, led by Shreyas Iyer, endured a difficult run following their second consecutive T20 World Cup triumph earlier this year. The team lost all six of its T20Is against Ireland and England before finally putting together a 3-0 clean sweep against Zimbabwe.

The Afghanistan series begins on September 13 (Saturday), with India also scheduled to play a historic T20I against ******* an before featuring in the Asian Games 2026.
With several established batters competing for places, former South Africa star AB de Villiers believes India could face a selection headache, particularly when it comes to deciding where Tilak Varma fits into the batting order.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, de Villiers pointed to the number of batting options available to India and questioned how the team would accommodate its vice-captain.

"There will definitely be some selection issues with regard to the batters. Obviously, Shreyas, captain, Ishan Kishan, Samson, Sooryavanshi, and then there are all-rounders, Tilak Varma; I think that's where the balance is quite tricky. Where will he bat?" de Villiers said.

Tilak's recent numbers also underline why his position could become a talking point.

Since the 2026 T20 World Cup, the left-hander has scored 255 runs from 10 innings at a strike rate of 159.36, with three scores of 50 or more. However, the numbers need some context. One of those half-centuries came during the recent Zimbabwe series, while another was scored in the fifth T20I against England, by which point India had already conceded the series.

His overall returns therefore look stronger in isolation than his performances across the entire period suggest. Tilak endured a particularly difficult run during India's tour of the UK, and his inconsistency has remained a concern despite the occasional big score. That makes his position in India's batting order an even bigger talking point ahead of the Afghanistan series.

The presence of Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi gives India several batting options, while the team also has to factor in its all-rounders.

For de Villiers, the challenge is not simply about selecting the strongest players but finding a combination in which every batter has a clearly defined role.

He believes India have enough quality in their squad to deal with Afghanistan, but stressed that clarity will be particularly important against a side he considers dangerous.

"Really, really strong squad, but the balance will be tricky to figure out. It is T20 cricket, so they can play around with the squad a little bit. There are different roles, but the role clarification will still be incredibly important for India, as

Valencia CF coach Carlos Corberán spoke at a press conference after the defeat against Sevilla FC to **** s the club's difficult sporting situation. The manager took responsibility and stressed the urgency of changing the team's momentum in the next match in Vitoria.
The Valencia coach explained part of the poor results by the constant loss of players to injury since preseason. Among those sidelined, he confirmed César's hamstring problem, an issue that seriously limits the squad's resources.
Despite the pressure, Corberán said he still has the same energy and enthusiasm as on day one to turn the situation around. He defended his players' commitment on the pitch and accepted the criticism, promising immediate answers for the fans on the field.

Kim Zolciak put on a brave face in court Friday, September 11, amid her son Kroy "KJ" Biermann Jr.'s ***** ual ***** ault case.
Both Zolciak, 48, and her estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, were on hand at the Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta to support the 15-year-old, who is seeking bond.
While KJ's attorney, Jason Sheffield, asked that his client be released on a $65,000 bond and insisted Zolciak would monitor him at home, Judge Melynee Leftridge said that she will decide whether KJ, who is currently jailed at Atlanta's Metro Regional Youth Detention Center, will be released on bond by Monday.
An eyewitness in the courtroom told Page Six that the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum appeared "stone-faced" throughout the hearing while sitting beside daughter Brielle Biermann in the third row. The former NFL star, 40, looked "stressed" meanwhile, the outlet reported, as he sat in the second row in front of the pair.
While the source noted that the pair did not interact in court, according to Page Six, a separate eyewitness spotted the exes, who also share children, Kash, 14, and twins Kaia and Kane, 12, earlier this week, describing Zolciak as "hectic and scattered" and "walking at a hurried pace."

The Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings are preparing to kick off the 2026 regular season on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
Both teams ended up with nine wins in 2025 but took very different ways of getting there. The Packers were, at one point, 9-3-1. The Vikings were, at one point, 4-8. Green Bay ended up losing five straight, including a playoff loss in Chicago, while Minnesota won five straight to end the season. Will any of that matter for Sunday? Momentum, or lack thereof, is difficult to carry over from one year to the next.
In a competitive, talented NFC North, every division matchup is a big one, and both the Packers and Vikings will want to open the season with a confidence-boosting win over a rival given how last year ended.
Five things to watch and a prediction for Week 1:
The Packers have new starters at left tackle (Jordan Morgan), center (Sean Rhyan) and right guard (Jacob Monk), and Morgan, left guard Aaron Banks and right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele are all either fighting through or returning from knee injuries. The first challenge for the 2026 offensive line? Brian Flores, a blitz-happy coordinator who thrives on creating havoc and uncertainty up front. The Packers offensive line got little to no time together during training camp, robbing the unit of cohesion entering the season. Can this group handle all the blitzes and stunts coming on Sunday? Communication and having confidence in the blocker next to you is so important to handling blitzes and movement, so the Packers front will likely be stressed early and often. Keeping Jordan Love protected, especially during the game's biggest situations (think: third down), will likely decide the winner of the opener.

NEW DELHI: Mohammed Shami may be in the latter phase of his career, but the veteran pacer believes young Indian cricketers are arriving with a level of maturity that means they need less coaching and more timely guidance.

Shami, who has not played for India since March 2025 and last featured in a Test during the World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval in 2023, spoke about mentoring youngsters after helping East Zone win the Duleep Trophy final against South Zone.

Among those who caught his attention was Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the teenage batter who was part of the East Zone squad.
"I thoroughly enjoyed it. The kid in our team (Vaibhav Sooryavanshi) is literally as old as my career. He has that youthful innocence, loves to joke around, and absorbs things quickly," Shami said.

The 36-year-old believes the exposure young players receive today, particularly through the IPL and other high-pressure competitions, has accelerated their development.

"But most of these youngsters are already quite mature. With the level of cricket they play today—featuring in the IPL and other high-pressure tournaments—maturity comes early, so you don't need to over-coach them," he said.

"But yes, when the game gets tight and challenging, that's when you step in with tactical inputs and remind them to keep fighting," he added.

Shami's own motivation, meanwhile, remains undiminished despite his prolonged absence from India colours.

"There are plenty of reasons to stay motivated if you look for them. At this level, if you aren't self-motivated, your approach is wrong. No matter what stage you're playing at, your eyes must always be set on the next level," he said.
Shami took two important wickets, dismissing Ravichandran Smaran and Sheikh Rasheed, as East Zone secured the Duleep Trophy ******* le on the basis of a first-innings lead. The triumph also coincided with his 100th first-class appearance.

"As far as satisfaction goes, achieving this in my 100th match—and that too in a winning Duleep Trophy final—is special. East Zone has won this after a very long time. You've seen how we performed.

"Every single boy put his heart and soul into this campaign to get us here. To achieve this in these conditions, in this heat, is outstanding. As for me, whether it's your first match or your 100th, it doesn't matter—the effort and the approach remain exactly the same," he said.

Shami also stressed that the level of cricket does not change his approach.

"When you wear that crest on your chest, the level of cricket doesn't matter. If you play for the badge, that hunger will naturally show. Your willingness to fight only grows when you play with that pride.

"My mindset is simple: whichever level I get an opportunity to play, I want to make it count and fulfil my responsibility toward the team," he said.

The move represents a sharp reversal from the yen's weakness earlier in the summer, when the USD/JPY approached 165 and forced **** anese authorities to intervene in the foreign-exchange market.
The latest appreciation is increasingly being driven by expectations that the Bank of **** an (BoJ) is preparing to raise interest rates at its September meeting, while investors are also reassessing the outlook for US monetary policy. The BoJ is scheduled to meet next Thursday and Friday, with markets now pricing in a high probability of a 25-basis-point increase. More importantly, investors will be looking for guidance on whether the central bank could accelerate the pace of subsequent tightening.
U.S. consumer-price data due on Friday will provide an important signal ahead of the Federal Reserve's September 15-16 meeting. The inflation figures have become particularly significant because the Fed's policy outlook remains unusually divided. Governor Christopher Waller has indicated that he could support keeping rates unchanged if inflation continues to moderate, while Fed Chair Kevin Warsh has stressed that insufficient progress on inflation could warrant tighter policy.
From a technical perspective, the weekly chart points to a clear deterioration in the USD/JPY trend. The pair has broken below its ascending trend structure and is trading beneath both the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen lines of the Ichimoku Cloud index. This suggests that the medium-term bullish structure has weakened. The weekly RSI has also fallen below the neutral 50 threshold and is moving lower, indicating that bearish momentum is becoming more established.
The fundamental backdrop is becoming increasingly challenging for the USD/JPY bulls because the interest-rate differential that supported the yen carry trade for years is gradually narrowing.

Moerus Capital Management LLC, an investment management firm, recently released its "Worldwide Fund " second-quarter 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. The fund navigated a highly bifurcated investment environment in the second quarter of 2026, as investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence and technology drove a sharp rally in growth stocks while capital moved away from more traditional, value-oriented areas. The Fund's Institutional Class returned 0.14% in Q2, compared with 14.49% for the MSCI ACWI ex USA and 14.93% for the MSCI ACWI, while its first-half return stood at 5.37%, versus 13.69% and 11.25%, respectively, for the two benchmarks. The relative underperformance was primarily driven by the Fund's limited exposure to Information Technology as semiconductor and AI-related stocks surged, while its Energy holdings also gave back some earlier gains as oil prices declined; however, the Fund benefited from several energy-related investments during the first half. Looking ahead, Moerus views the extreme gap between expensive AI-focused areas and neglected parts of the market as an opportunity, maintaining its long-term deep-value approach of investing in unpopular businesses and ****** ets at significant discounts to intrinsic value and using market volatility to identify potentially attractive investments. In addition, please check the Fund's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Moerus Worldwide Fund highlighted stocks like Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:TDW). Tidewater Inc. is an offshore supply vessel operator that provides support services to the offshore energy industry. Moerus identified Tidewater as one of the Fund's five most significant positive contributors during the first half of 2026. The one-month return of Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:TDW) was 3.68% while its shares traded between $46.65 and $101.58 over the last 52 weeks. On September 7, 2026, Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:TDW) stock closed at approximately $94.26 per share, with a market capitalization of about $4.61 billion.
Moerus Worldwide Fund stated the following regarding Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:TDW) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Similarly, we'd argue that offshore supply vessel (OSV) operator Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:TDW) has grown the per share value of its business dramatically since 2018 through a combination of a relentless focus on costs, share repurchases, and most notably, the utilization of its OSV industry-leading balance sheet to make three acquisitions of ****** ets (with a fourth pending) from distressed and/or motivated sellers at deep discounts to replacement costs during a years-long industry depression."

Kate Middleton is reportedly encouraging Prince William to let their children build a relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's kids. The change in approach comes as the Sussexes settle back in England. The move has brought the cousins closer than they have been in years.
Prince William and Kate Middleton's children reportedly did not meet Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children during the Sussexes' recent U.K. visit. But according to a source speaking to Closer, Kate now believes the situation could become harder to avoid. The source claims Kate has told William that the children should have the chance to know their cousins.
When Archie and Lilibet lived across the Atlantic, the distance made contact easier to avoid, the insider said. With Harry and Meghan now spending more time in Britain, however, that separation could become much more difficult to maintain. Harry, Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet reportedly arrived in Birmingham, England, by private jet on Tuesday, August 26. The reported situation could also affect how William and Kate explain the family rift to their own children.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have grown up hearing about the importance of family relationships, according to the source. The insider believes the children may eventually struggle to understand why they remain distant from their Sussex cousins. "It's going to be very difficult to explain and justify" the estrangement, the source claimed. The insider added that William and Kate have always stressed the importance of getting along. That could make the ongoing divide even harder to explain now that Harry and Meghan live much closer.
The reported olive branch does not mean Kate expects William to erase everything that happened between the brothers. Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior working royals in 2020. The couple later spoke publicly about their experience within the royal family and released their Netflix docuseries, "Harry & Meghan," which explored the tensions surrounding their departure.

Chennai: Veteran India speedster Mohammed Shami maybe out of India reckoning for now, but he still refuses to give up. When East Zone play South Zone in the Duleep final at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here on Sunday, the 36-year-old will be appearing in his 100th First-Class match, with a prolific record of 382 wickets so far.

East Zone skipper Ishan Kishan was effusive in his praise of the senior bowler on the eve of the **** le clash, stressing that age remains irrelevant when backed by exceptional work ethic and fierce determination.

"For Shami, age is just a number. If he is working hard, it doesn't matter. Having someone like him in our team gives us immense confidence. His approach towards the game, his intensity, and his energy this season have been very different from how I've seen him in the past," Kishan said after a practice session.

Comparing this version of Shami to his sensational 24-wicket run at the 2023 ODI World Cup, Kishan stressed on the pacer's sheer appetite for a national comeback.

"It is 2026 now, three years since that World Cup. It is hard when you are not regularly playing for the Indian team to still summon that same motivation for domestic games...Who better than me can judge hunger right now? I see that hunger and drive in him, he wants to make that comeback and be part of the Indian squad again. You can see it in the way he helps me lead, constantly coming up with strategic options. You can instantly tell when a player is desperate to win you the match," the skipper added.

Kishan also hailed Shami's tireless attitude during East Zone's semifinal victory over Central Zone, where the veteran ran in and picked five wickets in the game.

"He is a legend of the game. Looking at his effort in the semifinal, as a captain, it felt incredible when Shami came up and asked for extra overs to break partnerships. That willingness gives a skipper immense confidence. Plus, he finished with two boundaries in the last game, so he's practically an allrounder nowadays," Kishan quipped.

South Zone captain Tilak Varma acknowledged the massive challenge awaiting his batting unit against Shami's probing spells with the red ball, but they are confident to face him.

"It will be great competition. We are up against a quality bowling attack led by Shami. Facing that calibre of bowling is why you love this sport," Tilak said.

Americans have become value-driven when it comes to what goes into their shopping carts at grocery chains.
"Consumers aren't necessarily buying less. They're becoming more strategic. With 75% indicating that they're stressed about grocery bills (up from 73% last year), it makes sense that shoppers are looking for ways to maximize value from every trip," according to Algolia's The state of grocery shopping: inflation.
The survey showed that many consumers, but not a majority, have been willing to trade down.
Forty-two percent (42%) have switched to private labels to save money (up from 40% last year).
Thirty-six percent (36%) have traded their favorite brands for cheaper alternatives.

India are set to renew their rivalry with Pakistan in their final league-stage match of the Women's Asia Cup on Saturday, with senior all-rounder Deepti Sharma confident that the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side can maintain its recent dominance over its neighbours.

India have already secured their place in the semifinals after registering convincing victories over Thailand and Hong Kong. They currently sit at the top of Group A and will enter the Pakistan clash as clear favourites.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference on Friday, Deepti pointed to India's strong record against Pakistan and said the team would aim to maintain that edge.

"Look, there is no advantage as such. The only thing is that whatever we have won against them (Pakistan), whether it is the Asia Cup or any other matches, we are always one step ahead of them. And that's it," Deepti said.
Deepti stressed that India would not get distracted by Pakistan's strengths and instead concentrate on maintaining their own balanced approach.

"The whole team is performing well. If you look at the bowling unit or the batting unit, I think both things are balanced. The one who has a good day, she tries to do better and take the game further. And those around her, they try to stay positive things so that they step in more in their game," she said.

Asked about Pakistan's bowling attack, Deepti acknowledged the threat but insisted India would stick to their plans.

"Our team is also good and their bowlers are also good. We know that. But we focus more on the strengths we have. And as I said, we want to play a good brand of cricket. That's what we are focusing on. We just want to play good cricket. As a bowling unit, as a batting unit, the team should be as compact as we are playing in two games. That's the mindset," she added.
India have dominated the rivalry in women's T20Is, winning 14 of their 17 meetings with Pakistan, while Pakistan have three victories. The recent record is even more emphatic. India defeated Pakistan by 64 runs in the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup, while also winning their previous two meetings in the 2024 T20 World Cup and Asia Cup.

Pakistan's most recent victory over India came in the 2022 Women's Asia Cup, when they secured a 13-run win.
