"MS Dhoni, like Virat Kohli, like Cheteshwar Pujara in the Test series, they give us really great role models. MS Dhoni, his record, everything speaks for itself as a captain, batsman, wicketkeeper. Dhoni was dropped twice -- when on 0 and 74 -- and Langer said that cost his side the match. "You drop MS Dhoni a couple of times and you don't win.

JAI Jet Air India, Anyone?
Air India has, indeed, lately shown some resilience and is operationally doing fine. It isn’t true that Air India has not been managed properly. The fundamental cause of its financial mess was the decision to merge the two legal entities, Air India and Indian Airlines, in 2007 to create one carrier, Air India, as we know it now. It has been a point of criticism that Air India has surplus manpower and this is one of the major causes for its financial crisis. Jet has been at the forefront of civil aviation in India, displacing even Air India at one stage as an international airline.

Film review: Why Cheat India is slick but superficial
The existential crisis in Why Cheat India is not limited to its title. The biggest problem with Why Cheat India is that it cannot decide whether to project its protagonist as a hero or a villain. Why Cheat India is as confused as its protagonist. There’s a Breaking Bad-style scene featuring a room filled with cash from floor to ceiling and the film even quotes astrophysicist and author Neil deGrasse Tyson on the compelling reason that makes students cheat. Why Cheat India ends with some powerful statistics — ranging from how only seven per cent of Indian college graduates are employable to the business of coaching institutes, at last count, being worth a staggering Rs 45,000 crore.

China said to offer path to end US trade imbalance
By agreeing to buy more goods from the US, China may just shift its trade surplus toward other trading partners, said Tom Orlik, the chief economist for Bloomberg Economics. Additionally, the types of products that China offers to buy more of could matter more than the overall target for a dollar amount, Orlik said. “Over the years, China has used the offer of purchasing more technologies with national security applications as a gambit in trade negotiations,” said Orlik. There’s no clear sign that such an offer would now have a greater chance of success or even if it is practically feasible. The office of the US Trade Representative didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

BlackRock, Goldman said to move some fund managers to US if no-deal Brexit
London: BlackRock and Goldman Sachs Asset Management both plan to temporarily move some British-based fund managers to New York in the event of a no-deal Brexit, two sources told Reuters. The US makes sense as a temporary base for Goldman and BlackRock as Europe has cooperation agreements with U.S. regulators, so managers could handle European clients’ accounts from there until ESMA and the FCA have theirs. If not, BlackRock will move around 10 equity portfolio managers to New York, one source said, adding they would later move to the euro zone. It is not known whether other big US asset managers are drawing up similar plans and State Street, Fidelity Investments and Northern Trust all declined to comment. Although London-based asset managers already operate funds listed in Luxembourg and Dublin, holding more than a trillion euros of assets for customers across the bloc, they would not be able to continue operating as they do now post-Brexit.
