Biggest Story In India Headlines 26th November 2024
For the first time in history, on Monday, 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi etched his name as the youngest player ever to be taken under the wing of the IPL during an auction that took place in Jeddah. The Bihar prodigy fetched ₹1.10 crore after sparking a bidding war between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals, with the latter claiming the rising star.
Vaibhav had started his fantastic journey by making a record Ranji Trophy debut when he was only 12 years and 284 days old, thus becoming the youngest ever in the history of the tournament. Youth cricket found this player a performer. He played almost 400 runs in five games for Bihar in Vinoo Mankad Trophy. Earlier this year, he became the youngest Indian to achieve an international century; he achieved it during a Youth Test against Australia U-19.
It was learnt that Rajasthan Royals batting coach Vikram Rathour was much impressed during trials by the young Vaibhav, who hit three sixes during a critical over. Vaibhav hasn’t made a good mark in first-class cricket as yet, but the potential this man has is tremendous, and he will certainly prove to be an asset for Rajasthan.
November 26 saw India celebrated Constitution Day, which marks the 1949 adoption of the Indian Constitution by the Constituent Assembly. The day is often referred to as Samvidhan Divas, due to the vision of Dr B.R. Ambedkar, the principal draughtsman and head of the Drafting Committee.
Since January 26, 1950, the Indian Constitution has remained the world’s longest written constitution. It established India as a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic that would provide justice, liberty, and equality to all its citizens.
This year saw festivities that focused on the Constituent Assembly’s historical value in terms of adopting the Constitution. This year, during the celebrations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi remembered the values of unity, equality, and fraternity. The day had also reminded people of the change that the Constituent Assembly had undergone in its transformation from debating the formation of modern India for over two years.
Drake took Universal Music Group to court for allegedly increasing the “unfair advantage” a rival song “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar has enjoyed through fraudulent means. Drake, according to a New York petition, claims that UMG deployed bots and decreased platform license rates on online services like Spotify in an effort to increase the visibility of this song and inflate its success.
In response, UMG denied the allegations, stating that the label follows the code of ethics in marketing. “Fans choose the music they want to hear,” the label said, dismissing the allegations as baseless.
This controversy brings light on the concerns surrounding the artificial streaming practice within the music industry. While some artists have been caught up inflating their streams previously, UMG and Spotify have denied any such practice for “Not Like Us.
The IPL 2025 auction saw unexpected drama as Mumbai Indians’ owner Akash Ambani crossed the floor to shake hands with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) after successfully acquiring English all-rounder Will Jacks for ₹5.25 crore. Jacks was expected to be retained by RCB following his stellar performances last season.
This surprising gesture by Ambani led fans speculating about the camaraderie between franchises. The RCB not using the Right to Match card on Jacks makes their auction strategy even more intriguing.
The Indian government has launched an ambitious new initiative called Pan 2.0, under which the registration of a taxpayer and providing services shall be integrated completely into a paperless and online process. The project was cleared by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs and has a ₹1,435 crore investment planned as part of the Digital India framework.
Key advantages of Pan 2.0 include easier access to services, enhanced security, green processes, and grievance redressal mechanisms that are faster. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw highlighted how the initiative aims to place the PAN card as an aggregator ID for all other government systems.
The Supreme Court of India had dismissed petitions on the plea that challenged the inclusions of words “socialist” and “secular” in the Preamble of the Constitution. These words were added during the 42nd Amendment of 1976 under the Emergency.
A bench led by CJI Sanjiv Khanna observed that Parliament holds the authority to amend the Preamble and clarified that retrospective arguments challenging the amendment were baseless. The Court emphasized that these terms align with the core values enshrined in the Constitution.
Incumbent Chief Minister Eknath Shinde requested his supporters to not collect at his official bungalow, ‘Varsha’, as speculation is rife over his successor in the post that would fall vacant after his resounding win under Mahayuti.
Shinde has assured his supporters that the alliance is united and the new government will function to serve the state with the same efficiency. The appeal comes amid skyrocketing discussions on leadership in the BJP-led alliance, which won 230 seats in the state assembly polls.
Al-Nassr’s 3-1 win over Al-Gharafa in the AFC Champions League saw lots of praise, headed by an unsolicited shoutout from none other than Elon Musk. The billionaire responded to Ronaldo’s post-match social media update with the word “Congrats!
Ronaldo has scored two goals in the match and helped Al-Nassr to maintain a good performance in the tournament. Although Al-Nassr is facing some upsets in the Saudi Pro League, this win has brought back morale to the squad before the other matches.
Mumbai Indians made headlines at the IPL 2025 auction by signing young Afghan spinner Allah Ghazanfar for ₹4.80 crore. The 18-year-old impressed scouts with his consistent performances, including a six-wicket haul against Bangladesh earlier this month.
Ghazanfar’s inclusion strengthens Mumbai Indians’ bowling lineup as the team looks to build on their successful 2024 campaign. The franchise has retained five players and brought in eight new talents during this year’s auction.
The 21-year-old all-rounder Jacob Bethell is all set to make his Test debut for England as he leads the team into the first match of the series against New Zealand starting on November 28 in Christchurch. Bethell will bat at No. 3, which marks a great milestone in his burgeoning career.
Bethell is playing for Warwickshire and has shown his skill across the formats and impressed all with his performances in the Hundred and England’s domestic leagues. It’s going to be interesting to see if England can, after re-jigging their batting order, this young lad do well on international duties.
