Ravindra Jadeja Creates History, Becomes First Player In The World To Achieve Rare Feat

While Jadeja missed out on his century, the star all-rounder set a world record as he became the first visiting player to be involved in multiple partnerships of more than 200 runs at Edgbaston. Jadeja had also been involved in a 222-run partnership on the ground in 2022 with Rishabh Pant for the sixth wicket. Overall, there have been seven instances of a double-century partnership in Birmingham from away team players and Jadeja is the only player to feature twice. Infact, India and Pakistan are the only teams with players involved in multiple double-century partnerships at the ground. Jadeja is the only the fourth player in history from a visiting team to put up three 80+ scores in England while batting number seven or below after Sir Richie Haddlee, Ian Healy, and Kapil Dev. Had Jadeja got a ton, he would have been the first player from an away team to hit multiple tons in England from number seven or below. →

Historic Handshake: PM Modi’s UK Visit Poised to Seal Long-Awaited Free Trade Deal

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has landed in the United Kingdom, marking a pivotal moment in India-UK diplomatic and economic relations. His high-profile visit has drawn global attention as it coincides with the final stages of negotiations for the long-anticipated Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the two nations. This agreement, years in the making, is expected to unlock a new era of strategic collaboration, enhanced market access, and economic prosperity.
The proposed deal aims to significantly reduce tariffs, streamline regulatory barriers, and open doors for sectors such as pharmaceuticals, information technology, textiles, automotive, and services. For India, the FTA represents an opportunity to expand its global footprint, while the UK views it as a gateway to the vast and dynamic Indian market, particularly post-Brexit. Sources indicate that the agreement will also prioritize climate cooperation, education exchange, and skilled workforce mobility.
If signed, this trade pact would stand as one of India's most comprehensive international economic engagements and a landmark achievement in PM Modi’s foreign policy legacy. Leaders and industry experts from both nations are optimistic about the mutual benefits and long-term impact of the deal. A formal announcement is expected later today, potentially setting the stage for a renewed chapter in India-UK relations built on shared values and economic ambition.
