On Monday (May 12), it was the end of an era for Indian Test cricket as Virat Kohli called time on his impressive career. Playing 123 Test matches, Virat has hung up his boots with a proud record, hardly matched by anyone in the modern-day circuit. While he was a nightmare many times, including Australia and England, he never faced one opponent in the red-ball format, despite having an impressive showing in the white-ball format.

India and Pakistan have agreed to halt all military action on land, in the air, and at sea. The decision comes without any preconditions whatsoever. While the guns have fallen silent, the message from New Delhi remains loud and clear. The Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960 after nine years of negotiations, still remains on hold. Under the treaty, Pakistan receives the western rivers of the Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab, which provide about 80% of the Indus river waters crucial for agriculture and hydropower. India, in turn, gets the eastern rivers—Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej. Watch in for more details!
