Akshay Kumar, Twinkle Khanna attend test match between India and England
Pictures and videos of Akshay and Twinkle cheering for India in the Test match against England in London are doing the rounds online. The rest of Bollywood might be at Wimbledon, but it looks like the couple wanted to indulge in India's beloved sport instead. Akshay opted for a neutral-toned suit for the occasion that he paired with a white T-shirt, while Twinkle opted for a pink outfit. The couple sat next to Ravi Shastri and were spotted chatting with him during the match.
Fans who tuned in for the match were thrilled to randomly see Akshay and Twinkle sitting next to Ravi. 'What a personality. He look very cool, hot, dashing, swag and handsome. Truly, age is just a number for Akshay Kumar,' wrote one excited fan sharing pictures and videos of the actor. Another thought, Akshay was 'sitting quiet, looking deadly.' A fan also thought he looked good in the salt and pepper look he was sporting at the match.

Akshay had a busy 2025, what with him starring in Sky Force, Kesari Chapter 2, Housefull 5 and Kannappa in Telugu in the first half of the year.

Animesh finishes second in 100m heats at Swiss meet
Animesh Kujur continued his brilliant run in the ongoing season by coming second in Heat C of 100m during the Spitzen Leichtathletik Luzern at Stadion Allmend in Lucerne, Switzerland, on Tuesday night. Coming into the race fresh from competing at the Monaco Diamond League last week, Kujur ran 10.28 seconds — his third-best personal time. While Sachin Dennis of Jamaica came first with a timing of 10.21 seconds, four more Indian athletes also took part in the race and pushed each other to the limit. Gurindervir Singh, who has a PB of 10.20 seconds and briefly held the 100m NR, came fourth with a timing of 10.54 seconds. Manikanta Hoblidhar, also a former 100m NR holder, followed suit with a time of 10.61 seconds. Odisha's DM Jayram and Lalu Prasad Bhoi were the next to cross the line. Jayram ran a PB of 10.65 seconds while Lalu crossed the line just 0.02 seconds later. However, Animesh was the most impressive of the Indian runners as he looks make good use of competing with the faster runners in the European circuit. While he is hoping to qualify for the World Championships in 200m, he is also aiming to break the 10-second mark in 100m. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cách giao dịch ETH/USD mà không cần nắm giữ Ether IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo He currently holds the 100m NR with a time of 10.18 seconds that he achieved during the Dromia International Sprint and Relays Meeting at Konstantinos Baglatzis Municipal Stadium in Vari, Greece, earlier this month. His coach Owen Martins, who trains him at Odisha Reliance Foundation Athletics High-Performance Centre (HPC) in Bhubaneswar, however is well aware that it's going to take some time. "It's a slow process. It's still 2 metres and it's a long way off. Athens wasn't a fast track. So there's a few tenths of a second there. Also, in an earlier race, the wind was 1.7 m/s as opposed to 0. 5 m/s when he ran. So you can get down to 10.12 seconds just by changing the wind. But it's a gradual process and again, that's not really what we're trying to aim for," said Martins.

India dig deep but England prevail
A slow‑burning contest that spectacularly sprang to life towards the end of the Moving Day, reached a thrilling conclusion. India fought tooth and nail until before going down to a determined England in a game for the ages in the third Test here on Monday. Resuming the final day of an engrossingly fought third Test at Lord's on 58/4 and needing another 135 runs to take a 2‑1 lead, India's hopes rested largely on the duo of KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. They were the last remaining specialist batting pair and two of the most experienced players in the team. England skipper Ben Stokes (3/48) and Jofra Archer (3/55), playing his first Test in four years and picked for the crunch game purely on reputation rather than readiness for the rigours of five‑day cricket, however, put England on course for a massive win after leaving India reeling at 82/7. India, though, refused to throw in the towel and staged an incredible fightback with veteran Ravindra Jadeja (61 n.o., 181b) at the forefront of it with three nail‑biting partnerships that had everyone at the Home of Cricket on the edge of their seats. Jadeja, easily the Indian team's Most Valuable Player over the last decade, first forged a 30‑run stand for the eighth wicket with Nitish Kumar Reddy that was cut short at the stroke of lunch. At that stage, it looked dead and buried for India with another 81 runs needed and just two wickets in hand. One of them was Jasprit Bumrah, who had scored four successive ducks. England smelt blood and came charging in the post‑lunch session, but Bumrah soaked it all superbly to defy the hosts with sheer grit and gumption. He dead‑batted everything England threw at him, and with every defensive shot, he drew huge cheers from the massive Indian gathering, and confidence in Jadeja also started to grow. But this Test, in fact, series, has been such that every time a team seemingly has gained the momentum, things take a u‑turn. Bumrah, having batted for 104 minutes, went for a glory shot out of nowhere off Stokes and was caught at mid‑on. India, though, didn't give up with Mohammed Siraj slugging it out with Jadeja. Siraj even took a blow to his arm but soldiered on. It looked like he and Jadeja might pull off the impossible, but Shoaib Bashir dismissed him, the ball ricocheting off his bat onto the stumps as England wheeled away in celebrations. Siraj and Jadeja sunk in despair as the Indian innings folded up at 170, suffering a 22‑run loss. Earlier, Archer, hailed by Stokes as a genius who could change games with his pace and hostility, did exactly what the skipper proclaimed on the eve of the contest. Totally amped up following the war of words the two sides had been exchanging from late Saturday evening, the 30‑year‑old bowled with fire, passion, and deadly accuracy. The right‑armer, starting the attack along with Stokes, first dismissed Pant in his second over of the day with an absolute peach, the ball just straightening a shade after pitching, that left the wicketkeeper completely befuddled.

A first-of-its-kind in Indian Luxury: Zoya and Alice Cicolini Craft a Limited-Edition Capsule
VMPL New Delhi [India], July 15: In a defining moment for Indian luxury jewellery, Zoya- India's leading luxury jewellery atelier from the Tata Group--unveils a limited-edition capsule in collaboration with globally acclaimed British designer and curator Alice Cicolini, marking the first international creative partnership for an Indian luxury jewellery atelier. Born out of deep mutual admiration of Indian craft, the capsule pays homage to enamel--one of India's most poetic art forms in luxury. Inspired by the architecture of Lhasa, where every layer tells a story, this collection draws from a landscape rich in form, texture, and colour Zoya, known for its industry-shifting innovation in diamonds and coloured stones, brings that same pioneering spirit to enamel in collaboration with Alice Cicolini. In Alice--whose work traces the journey of motifs across cultures and thoughtfully weaves patterns from different geographies and eras--Zoya finds a kindred spirit: a revered artist whose mastery of enamel is both instinctively playful and deeply respectful of tradition. The collection has a deeply feminine soul--redefining the category through colour and craftsmanship. A palette of sage green, rose, and dew--delicately expressed through cherry blossoms, chevron patterns, and intricate enamel work--brings freshness to Alice Cicolini's master craftsmanship. Each piece, set with uncut diamonds and finished in satin-soft 18k gold, is designed to stir the creative soul and makes her feel alive. A confluence of richly researched artistic legacies, this collaboration--five years in the making--merges Zoya's contemplative, design-first ethos with Cicolini's globally lauded practice, rooted in cultural memory, intricate craftsmanship, and the timeless power of storytelling. "When Zoya approached me with the idea of a collaboration celebrating uncut diamonds and enamel, I felt an immediate connection," shares Alice Cicolini. "Here was a house that honoured craft, story, and soul--design that dares to be different, yet deeply meaningful." The 19-piece capsule reinterprets classic Indian forms like balis and jhumkis through a refined architectural lens, resulting in jewellery that is time-travelled, yet entirely in the moment. From sculptural rings to reimagined jhumkis, yard chains, and bangles, the capsule draws from the layered mystique of Lhasa. The collection also traces the journey of Alexandra David-Neel--the first Western woman to enter Lhasa--celebrating a muse whose fearless passage across borders mirrored an even deeper journey within, much like the Zoya woman. Revathi Kant, Chief Design Officer, Titan Company, adds: "At Zoya, five years of deep, deliberate enamel craftsmanship laid the foundation for this collection. In Alice, we found a true partner--someone who shares our devotion to celebrating India and helped us create a capsule that is both boundary-breaking and redefiniing. Inspired by the architecture of Lhasa, this first-of-its-kind international collaboration in Indian luxury jewellery reflects a woman who wanders freely, carrying multitudes by design--brought to life through sculptural silhouettes and feminine energy." Zoya and Alice Cicolini limited-edition capsule will be available by private appointment at select Zoya boutiques. About Zoya: Zoya, from the Tata Group, is India's leading luxury jewellery brand for the modern sophisticate. As a luxury jewellery atelier, it is celebrated for exceptional craftsmanship, a refined design language, and storytelling rooted in feminine energy. Each piece is a work of wearable art--thoughtfully imagined reflecting the Zoya woman's journey to her truest self, and to awaken that feeling of being alive. Now in its 15th year, Zoya continues to redefine the luxury jewellery experience in India. With twelve exclusive boutiques across Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, and Hyderabad--and Zoya Galleries in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Chennai, Pune and Lucknow--the brand showcases luxury at its most intimate and elevated. Zoya now further enhances its bespoke service with video-assisted consultations and home trials, bringing the atelier experience directly to her doorstep.

Educated at Central Saint Martins, she is known for her vibrant, narrative-led jewellery inspired by sacred architecture, Silk Route motifs, and cultural memory.
