K.L. Rahul opens up on incident which “scarred him massively”

K.L. Rahul remembers the interview with Karan Johar in a recent podcast interaction. File | Photo Credit: PTI Indian middle-order batter K.L. Rahul said that his suspension from the Indian cricket team following a controversial episode of the programme "Koffee With Karan" with Bollywood director Karan Johar and star all-rounder Hardik Pandya "scarred him massively." Notably, back in 2019, both Hardik and KL were handed suspensions from the national team and fined ₹20 lakh for Hardik's misogynist comments, before they could return to the team.

Multiple politicians across party lines whom ThePrint spoke to are of the view that a multi-cornered contest raises the prospect of a fractured verdict, which may result in President’s Rule being continued and an elected government eluding the people even after six years. Given how Rashid galvanised the youth in the Lok Sabha elections, the AIP’s large-scale entry into the electoral fray in the Kashmir Valley threatens to upset the electoral calculations of mainstream parties such as the National Conference (NC) and ...

Two veteran Nasa astronauts, Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams, who together have more than 500 days of spaceflight experience, became the first crew to launch aboard Boeing's Starliner space capsule on a test flight from Florida on June 5.

The astronauts will instead return on a SpaceX vehicle.Due to leaks and thruster failures on the Starliner capsule, the mission of the two astronauts at the International Space Station (ISS) has been extended by several months.Here are further details about the astronauts:Barry Wi...
