Hyperlocal startup magicpin on Thursday said that food delivery orders jumped by more than twofold to 10 lakh during the cricket World Cup matches on government-backed Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) network compared to the monthly average.

IND vs AUS 1st T20: Pacer Mukesh Kumar eyeing a long run with Indian team

Right-arm seamer Mukesh Kumar, who made his international debut across all formats earlier this year during the West Indies tour, has set his sights on a long stint with the Indian team starting with the upcoming T20I series against Australia. New-look India will clash against Australia in a five-match T20I series starting on Thursday here, which will give both these rivals a good run in the format given that the next T20 World Cup is about seven months away. The 30-year-old Mukesh is determined to make the opportunity count as he looks to build on his success earned in the domestic circuit and the Indian Premier League, which led to his national call-up. "I want to regularly play for my country, that will be my first achievement. I want to continue focusing on the processes. I am seeing the results of sticking to them, so, I want to keep focusing and moving forward, he told Jio Cinema. Mukesh, who plays for the Delhi Capitals in the IPL, believes that the T20 competition produces

IND vs AUS T20 Preview: India's young stars face 1st real test in Vizag

Suryakumar Yadav will have to suppress the massive disappointment of a World Cup final defeat somewhere in the deeper confines of his heart while leading a sprightly bunch of 'Gen-Next' stars against a strong Australian side in a five-match T20 International series, starting here on Thursday. The scars of defeat are too deep and it would take time for those wounds to heal. With just around 96 hours of turnaround time from World Cup to the next series, it hardly leaves 'SKY' with any chance of introspection as he gets ready to play his favourite format. As the captain of the side, he will not only want to win the series but also check out some of the best young Indian exponents of the shortest format, who will be on trial for next year's ICC T20 World Cup in June and July in the Americas (West Indies and USA). The young guns like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rinku Singh, Tilak Verma, Jitesh Sharma and not-so-young Mukesh Kumar have all made their international debuts in past few months but the

A court in Gandhinagar in Gujarat on Tuesday granted bail to an Australian, arrested for intruding on the pitch during the ICC World Cup cricket final wearing a pro-Palestine T-shirt.

India vs Australia T20s: Hardie replaces David Warner in Aussies squad

The selectors have decided to rest David Warner for the five-match T20 series in India following Australia's ODI World Cup triumph in Ahmedabad. Warner, who was Australia's leading run-getting with 535 runs in the triumphant campaign, was originally part of the squad to be led by Matthew Wade. The squad, for the series beginning in Visakhapatnam on November 23, was announced last month. All-rounder Aaron Hardie has already joined the squad as Warner's replacement. "Selectors decided Warner would return home on the back of a successful yet demanding World Cup campaign," Cricket Australia said in a statement on Tuesday. Earlier this year, Warner hinted that the home series against Pakistan could be the last of his Test career but remains determined to carry on in the shorter formats. Reacting to a post on social media signalling the southpaw had played his last ODI World Cup, the 37-year-old on Tuesday said: "Who said I am finished?" Warner's absence from the T20s means that only s
