SunRisers Hyderabad fed off a 160-run opening stand between skipper David Warner and Jonny Bairstow and then Rashid Khan’s immaculate lines with the ball as they beat Kings XI Punjab by 69 runs in Dubai on Thursday. Bairstow narrowly missed out on a second Indian Premier League (IPL) century, scoring 97 off just 55 balls and combined with Warner, who smashed 52 off 40, to score the bulk of the runs as SRH finished on 201/6.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal United (JDU) and the BJP have reached a seat-sharing agreement in principle – with an almost even split – days before the October-November state election and the announcement is expected soon, sources told NDTV on Saturday. The JDU will get 122 of the 243 seats while the BJP will have 121, according to the arrangement, sources said. While Mr Kumar’s party will accommodate Jitan Ram Manjhi’s Hindustani Awam Morcha within its quota, the BJP will give seats to Ram Vilas Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party from its share if they remain in the alliance, sources added.

Bihar will vote on October 28, November 3 and 7 for a new government and the results will be announced on November 10. The country’s biggest election in the coronavirus crisis

The much-awaited Toyota Urban Cruiser subcompact SUV is all set to go on sale in India on September 23, 2020. It will be the first sub-4 metre SUV from the Japanese automaker in India, but as we already know, it’s a re-badged version of Maruti Suzuki’s Vitara Brezza, which means in terms of design and build, you know what to expect.

So, if Toyota goes with the same pricing strategy it used for the Glanza, which we expect it will, then the new Urban Cruiser will be priced just marginally less than the Vitara Brezza. Currently, the aforementioned three variants of the Vitara Brezza are
