Indian equity markets ended the day on a turbulent note as the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex plunged over 400 points, closing at 85,231, while the Nifty50 managed to stay just above the crucial 26,000 mark.

Despite the minor dip in AQI values, the pollution crisis remains…

Rabada’s exclusion is particularly disappointing for South Africa because he has been one…
