GG not only led KKR to the 2024 IPL title, but also crafted a sense of belief that had been missing ever since he left the franchise in 2017. Gambhir’s ‘team-before-individual’ approach led to a fairytale season where every player had the opportunity to shine throughout the tournament, creating the most unified team in our purple history.

King Charles’ speech: Keir Starmer’s new U.K. government to set out plans in state opening of Parliament
"Now is the time to take the brakes off Britain," Mr. Starmer said in a statement. The speech, and a raft of information published by the government alongside it, is expected to stick closely to the promises Labour made during the election campaign, while giving a clearer picture of Mr. Starmer's immediate priorities. The government will also set out plans to gradually renationalise the passenger rail network and set affordable fares to draw people back on to trains. The plan would shut private companies out of running passenger trains by folding each operator into state control when their contracts to run trains expire. The government will announce legislation to devolve more powers to local communities after Mr. Starmer used his first week in power to meet mayors of major cities and representatives from the devolved nations of the United Kingdom.
