UPDATED: Oct 28, 2025 12:47 IST
This special report focuses on the health of Indian ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer following a severe injury in Sydney. Iyer suffered a lacerated spleen during the third ODI against Australia, leading to internal bleeding and admission to an ICU. BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla told India Today that 'everything is fine, he's medically stable. But he'll be there for seven or eight days more in the hospital.' Iyer sustained the impact injury after taking a diving catch and was immediately hospitalised after showing signs of extreme distress in the dressing room.

Why hasn't Governor invited Vijay to form government? Experts weigh in
A major political standoff has erupted in Tamil Nadu as the state governor allegedly delays inviting the single largest party to form the new government. Despite submitting a letter of support with one hundred and twelve elected representatives, the governor has reportedly demanded proof of a simple majority of one hundred and eighteen before administering the oath of office. Political analysts and legal experts argue that constitutional precedents mandate the governor to invite the single largest party and allow them to prove their majority on the floor of the legislative assembly, rather than turning the governor's residence into a testing ground. Amidst the delay, rumours of an unlikely alliance between rival Dravidian parties have surfaced, though these are widely dismissed as pressure tactics. Meanwhile, forty elected representatives from the leading party have reportedly been relocated to a resort to prevent potential poaching. Experts warn that any attempt by constitutional authorities to subvert the electoral mandate could lead to severe institutional clashes and undermine the democratic process in the state.
