Ahead of the T20I series against SA, India's captain says Hardik Pandya will bring balance to the side (3:06)
Since contesting a nail-biting T20 World Cup final in 2024, India and South Africa have gone in different directions in T20Is. India have arguably become an even better team since lifting that trophy, achieving a 26-4 record (24 outright wins and two Super Over wins) with a brand of play perfectly suited to the conditions they will defend their title in February-March 2026. South Africa, meanwhile, have won nine and lost 16 of their T20Is since that day in Barbados.

The Goa nightclub tragedy exposed a chilling truth: the club was never designed to save lives. On December 7th, a fire erupted inside Birch by Romeo Lane, trapping guests and staff in a maze of blocked exits, sealed basements, narrow staircases, and smoke-filled glass rooms. The venue, constructed on a salt pan, had just one accessible road for fire trucks. Of the three exits, only one worked. The basement had no ventilation and no functional escape route, turning it into a suffocation chamber. Panic spread as guests smashed glass and collapsed from smoke inhalation. By the time emergency teams broke through the bottlenecked access lane, 25 people were dead. This video uncovers the structural flaws, the ignored rules, the slow rescue, and the horrifying chain of events that turned a party into a catastrophe.
