#HTExclusive | Cricket has always been the great equaliser — a sport where a 22-year-old from a tiny nation with barely any cricketing structure can, on the right day, dismiss a World Cup winner for a duck. In recent years, the Netherlands have stunned England and South Africa at World Cups. Italy, a country obsessed with football, not only qualified for the T20 World Cup earlier this year but also beat Nepal to register their maiden win at an ICC event. Scotland, too, have toppled former T20 world champions West Indies. These are not footnotes. These are the opening scenes of a story that is still being written. And for anyone who grew up watching Bollywood films, the plot feels familiar. The underdog, the impossible dream, the silence before the roar, the moment nobody saw coming.

#HTExclusive | Three days after Union home minister Amit Shah’s visit to Ladakh to celebrate Buddha Purnima, activist Sonam Wangchuk remains starkly unimpressed. Wangchuk, who was released from Jodhpur prison on March 14 after being detained under the National Security Act (NSA), has emerged as the moral compass of a movement demanding statehood and Sixth Schedule safeguards. In this exclusive interview, he reflects on the “chilly” reception Shah received, the flawed logic behind the creation of five new districts, and why the May 22 subcommittee meeting is a make-or-break moment for the region.
