As an emerging real estate agent in Dubai, Jeff Kuruvilla recalls standing in a queue, waiting for the launch of the Mudon project in 2016 for a staggering 36 hours. “I got lucky that day because my client bought four properties, but the wait for that project was absolutely agonising,” said Kuruvilla. Even though things have changed a lot since 2016, some property developers keep agents queuing up for several hours outside their offices for prestigious launches. The latest one for the launch of the Dubai Island project villas saw extremely long queues that lasted for hours. Videos shared on…
After making an excellent fifty against Chennai Super Kings in their IPL game, Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant on Sunday said he always had the self-belief of making a comeback to top-tier cricket. Pant clobbered four boundaries and three maximums, including his trademark hand-off-the-bat six, during his 32-ball 51 that powered DC to a competitive 191 for 5 against CSK, and eventually to a 20-run win. Pant returned to competitive cricket in this IPL after recovering from a life-threatening road mishap in December 2022, and this was his first fifty in three games this season. “One and a half years…this…
In a battle of the top two national player of the year candidates, Zach Edey and Purdue take on Dalton Knecht and Tennessee in the Midwest regional final today. Either way, it’s going to be the first time in a while we’ve seen either of these schools in the men’s Final Four, as Purdue haven’t been there since 1980, while the Volunteers are seeking their first ever appearance. The game is about to begin, at 2:20 p.m. ET today, and will be televised on CBS. But if you don’t have cable and you want to watch March Madness online, there…

Pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi, who was stripped off Pakistan’s white ball captaincy, on Sunday proclaimed his full-fledged support to Babar Azam, who was handed back the leadership role ahead of the T20 World Cup in June. Afridi led Pakistan in a solitary T20I series against New Zealand before the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) decided to give back the T20I and ODI reins to Babar. The elegant batter had stepped down from captaincy after the team failed to reach the knockout stages of last year’s 50-over World Cup. Shan Masood will continue as Pakistan Test captain. “It was an absolute honour…
One of the biggest questions when it comes to getting rid of cable and switching to a streaming service is whether you can still get your local channels. With Sling TV, the answer is somewhat complicated. Yes, you can get local channels on Sling TV. But it can depend on the channel, and it can depend on where you live. That’s in stark contrast to Sling TV’s competitors, like YouTube TV, Hulu With Live TV, and Fubo. They all have local channels, and in far more markets than Sling TV. Here’s the deal: Sling TV streams available broadcasts from ABC,…
Rattling the batters with his express speed and walking away with the player of the match award after scripting Lucknow Super Giants’ first win of the season, Mayank Yadav could not have dreamt of a better debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The 21-year-old right-arm quick did not play a single match in the 2022 edition of the tournament and missed last year’s IPL with a torn hamstring but gave a good account of himself on Saturday. Chasing 200 for victory, Punjab Kings had raced to 102 for no loss in the 12th over when Mayank dismissed Englishman Jonny…

Tens of thousands of Israelis gathered outside the parliament building in Jerusalem on Sunday in the largest anti-government demonstration since the country went to war in October. They urged the government to reach a ceasefire deal to free dozens of hostages held by the Hamas militant group in Gaza and to hold early elections. Israeli society was broadly united immediately after October 7, when Hamas killed some 1,200 people during a cross-border attack and took 250 others hostage. Nearly six months of conflict have renewed divisions, though the country remains largely in favour of the war. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu…
Favourites won, some failed, while heroes were born. Here we look at four turning points of the epic day The Dubai Millennium legacy The legacy of Dubai Millennium, who whipped up a storm to win the 2000 Dubai World Cup at Nad Al Sheba racecourse, lives on his son Dubawi who has established himself as one of the best stallions in the world today. Most significant is the versatility that Dubawi offsprings carry which was demonstrated emphatically by Rebel’s Romance, who won the $6 million Dubai Sheema Classic (G1) on Saturday.
