On Virat, Rohit's Future After Champions Trophy, An 'Honest' Verdict

With the next ODI World Cup in 2027, is it time for the veteran duo of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to make way for young talent? The ICC Champions Trophy has seen some exemplary performances from Indian stars, especially Kohli who is among the top-scoring batters. Rohit, on the other hand, hasn't failed to set the temp at the top but is yet to convert his starts into big scores. As reports emerge over the duo's possible exit from ODI cricket after the Champions Trophy, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has given his 'honest' verdict. In a video on his YouTube channel , Chopra said that if the duo decide to hang on, the coming two years aren't going to be easy for them by any means. With the ODI World Cup scheduled to be held in 2027, deciding the future course of action isn't going to be an easy task. "It's entirely up to them. I will be very honest, it's not going to be easy.

"Making Less Money, But...": UK Couple After Buying Village In France

A couple who sold their home in the UK to buy an entire village in France say their lives have improved since leaving Manchester. According to New York Post, Liz Murphy, 47, and her husband David, 56, purchased the historic rural hamlet of Lac De Maison in south-west France four years ago, in January 2021. They sold their three-bed home in Manchester and used the cash to buy six 400-year-old houses, two barns and three acres of land. They have now turned their tranquil town into a thriving business, and say that they have no plan to return as their parents have also moved out with them. 

The couple, who used to work in radio, live with Ms Liz's mother Helen Diaper, and stepdad Terry. They turned three houses in their village into holiday homes which can accommodate 19 people in total. They are now also installing solar panels to become more self-sufficient. 

The pair revealed that they don't make as money as they did in the UK but say their quality of life is better. "We haven't got the pressures we had in the UK. In France, we're mortgage free. So although we're making less money than we did in the UK, it's massively outweighed by our quality of life," Ms Liz said, as per the Post. 

"My mom and stepdad decided to sell their house and come with us. It's been lovely - having them so close by for the kids has been really great. It's great to have on-site babysitters," she added. 

The couple said that previously they felt trapped in the "rat race" working "busy" nine-to-five jobs. However, it was amid Covid, they realised their dreams of leaving their lives in Manchester, England, and owning their own place in France.

They revealed that they chose France after visiting for holidays. They also wanted to be "somewhere close enough for people to visit and it not cost a fortune". So, when they came across the huge plot of land, they decided to sell their three-bed home and move with their two children in December 2020. They later also convinced Ms Liz's parents to move with them from Nottingham. 

The couple now have three holiday homes up and running. They are also installing 60 solar panels so they can be more self-sufficient. The family have also introduced some new members - three goats, four chickens and three cats.

"I Felt Bad That My First Throw...": Neeraj Opens Up On Asiad Controversy

Neeraj Chopra clinched the gold medal in men's javelin event at Asian Games 2023 with a season-best throw of 88.88m but the win was not without controversies. The very first attempt by the reigning world champion was a massive one and it looked that throw easily breached the 85m-mark. However, the organisers were not able to measure it due to a technical glitch and as a result, Neeraj had to take the throw once again. Following his gold medal win, Neeraj opened up about his feelings regarding the controversial incident and what he felt could have been the reason behind the confusion. ( Asian Games Medals Tally ) "I was puzzled and confused, it has never happened in any competition I have competed in till now.
