Moeen Ali Calls This Legend One Of India's Sharpest Cricket Minds & It's Not MS Dhoni!

Moeen Ali On Ashish Nehra: Former England all-rounder Moeen Ali has heaped praise on Ashish Nehra, describing the former India fast bowler as the most impressive cricketing mind he has encountered during his career. Having shared dressing rooms with several celebrated captains, like MS Dhoni, and coaches, Moeen said Nehra's understanding of the game and his ability to manage people set him apart from the rest. The former England international made the remarks while appearing on the Beard Before Wicket podcast. Moeen Ali Explains Why Ashish Nehra Stands Out Asked what defines a true cricketing brain, Moeen said it goes beyond instinct and is rooted in knowledge backed by experience and evidence. “For me, a cricketing brain is somebody who knows almost every situation of the game." He then elaborated on why Nehra earned his vote. "He’s got something, and behind that something, there’s either data or evidence, like, ‘It’s happened before, and this happened, and this is why this can happen.’ So the name I am going to give is Ashish Nehra." "He is the coach of Gujarat; I had him at RCB for a couple of years. When it comes to cricket brain, this guy knows what he’s talking about. Knows how to get a team environment going, knows how to deal with people, players, and coaches. Amazing, amazing cricket brain." Ali added. Read More: WATCH: Sara Tendulkar Fake AI Video Goes Viral, Sparks Online Concern Nehra's Coaching Success With Gujarat Titans Moeen Ali reflected on his time alongside Nehra during the 2018 and 2019 IPL seasons at Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Those two years, he suggested, offered a close look at Nehra's tactical awareness and his approach to managing players and team culture. Nehra first stepped into coaching as RCB's bowling coach. Although the franchise endured inconsistent results during that period and he attracted criticism, his coaching credentials received a major boost when Gujarat Titans appointed him head coach ahead of the 2022 IPL season. The decision paid immediate dividends. GT lifted the IPL trophy in their debut campaign. Since then, the Titans have established themselves as one of the league's most consistent teams. Despite often entering seasons without being regarded as favourites, they have missed the IPL playoffs only once in five seasons, further strengthening Nehra's reputation as one of the competition's leading coaches.

India Manufacturing PMI Slips To 53.5 In July, But Export Demand Keeps Factories Growing

India's manufacturing sector continued to expand in July, extending its growth streak even as momentum softened from the previous month. Strong overseas demand and an improvement in supply-chain conditions helped factories sustain production, although hiring activity lost pace and overall growth eased marginally. According to the latest HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) released on Monday, the manufacturing PMI stood at 53.5 in July, down from 54.2 in June. As reported by IANS, the reading remained comfortably above the 50-point threshold that separates expansion from contraction, signalling that operating conditions in the sector continued to improve. Export Orders Provide Fresh Support One of the standout trends in the July survey was the continued strength in export demand. Manufacturers reported a noticeable increase in new orders from overseas markets, with companies citing stronger demand from countries including Canada, Egypt, Indonesia, Kenya, Nepal, South Africa, Thailand and the UAE. The rise in export orders helped support overall production during the month, even as some businesses reported softer client interest for certain products and challenging market conditions in parts of the domestic market. According to the survey, firms also continued to benefit from advertising efforts and resilient customer demand, which contributed to sustained growth in both output and new business. Production Expands As Supply Chains Improve Manufacturing companies responded to rising orders by increasing production levels during July. Producers of intermediate and capital goods registered stronger growth in both output and new orders, while the consumer goods segment expanded at a comparatively slower pace. The survey also pointed to a further easing of supply-chain constraints. Delivery times for inputs improved at one of the fastest rates recorded in the survey's history, enabling manufacturers to replenish inventories more efficiently. Companies increased purchases of raw materials, while stocks of finished goods rose at the quickest pace in more than 11 years, reflecting greater confidence in future demand and smoother logistics.

OPEC+'s Latest Decision Offers A Clue Input Costs Ease, But Selling Prices Rise Although inflationary pressures remained part of the operating environment, the survey suggested that cost conditions became more favourable during the month. Input cost inflation eased to a five-month low, reducing pressure on manufacturers' expenses. However, firms also increased the prices charged to customers at a faster pace, indicating that businesses continued to pass on part of their costs in an effort to protect profit margins. Commenting on the findings, Pranjul Bhandari, Chief India Economist at HSBC, said improving supplier delivery times suggested that supply-chain bottlenecks were continuing to ease, although geopolitical developments remained a potential source of risk. She also noted that while input cost inflation moderated, output price inflation accelerated as companies increasingly passed higher costs on to customers. Hiring Loses Momentum Despite continued expansion in production and orders, employment growth slowed during July. According to the survey, manufacturers continued to recruit additional workers, but the pace of hiring was the weakest recorded during the current 29-month period of employment growth. The moderation suggests that while businesses remain optimistic about demand, they are adopting a more measured approach to workforce expansion amid an evolving economic environment. Even with growth easing slightly from June, the latest PMI data indicates that India's manufacturing sector remains on a stable footing, supported by resilient export demand, improving supply chains and continued expansion in factory output. At the same time, slower hiring and lingering geopolitical uncertainties suggest manufacturers continue to navigate a mixed operating landscape, according to the HSBC survey.

Could Petrol And Diesel Prices Stay Stable? OPEC+'s Latest Decision Offers A Clue

India, one of the world's largest crude oil importers, could see some relief on its energy bill after OPEC+ decided to raise oil production once again, potentially easing pressure on global crude prices. The producer group has approved an increase of around 188,000 barrels per day (bpd) for September, completing the rollback of the voluntary production cuts it introduced in 2023. While the move does not immediately guarantee cheaper crude, analysts believe higher global supply could help keep prices in check if geopolitical tensions do not worsen, reported The Financial Express. According to Reuters, the latest increase follows several months of gradual output hikes by OPEC+ members. However, previous production increases did not fully translate into higher global exports because of disruptions caused by the conflict in the Gulf as well as supply issues in Russia and Kazakhstan. For India, where more than 85 per cent of crude oil requirements are met through imports, developments within OPEC+ are closely watched because they influence everything from fuel prices to inflation and the country's import bill. Why The Decision Matters For India A sustained increase in global crude supply could work in India's favour. Lower or stable international oil prices generally reduce the country's crude import bill, easing pressure on the current account deficit and supporting the rupee. Softer crude prices also make it easier for oil marketing companies to maintain stable retail prices for petrol and diesel despite volatility in global energy markets. For consumers, that could translate into relatively stable transport costs, while businesses dependent on fuel-intensive operations could benefit from lower input costs. The latest production decision could also strengthen India's position as a major buyer in global crude markets. With additional supplies entering the market and no immediate indication of fresh production cuts, New Delhi may have greater flexibility while negotiating crude purchases, particularly as it continues sourcing discounted Russian oil. OPEC+ Completes Rollback Of Voluntary Cuts The September increase marks an important milestone for OPEC+. According to Reuters, the latest decision completes the reversal of the group's voluntary production cuts amounting to 1.65 million barrels per day, announced in 2023. The increase was approved by the core OPEC+ producers, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan and Oman, which have taken the lead in the alliance's monthly production decisions since the United Arab Emirates exited OPEC in May. Although production has been raised steadily over recent months, the actual volume reaching international markets has been lower than planned because of logistical and geopolitical disruptions affecting exports. Also Read : RBI MPC Starts Today: Will The Central Bank Hold Repo Rate At 5.25%? What Happens After September? While the latest production increase completes one phase of OPEC+'s strategy, uncertainty remains over what comes next. Notably, the producer group did not outline its plans for the fourth quarter in its latest statement. Earlier indications from OPEC+ sources had suggested that production increases could pause after the voluntary cuts were fully restored. Speaking to Reuters, Jorge Leon, an analyst at Rystad Energy, said a pause remains the most likely outcome. "OPEC+ has finished unwinding its voluntary cuts. The next challenge is managing the surplus that could emerge as export flows normalise," Leon said. He added that the alliance now has "little incentive to rush into further supply changes" as attention gradually shifts towards discussions on production quotas for 2027. The seven core OPEC+ members are scheduled to meet again on September 6 to decide the next course of action. Production Curbs Are Not Completely Over Despite the latest increase, OPEC+ has not abandoned its broader supply management strategy. The alliance continues to maintain a separate production cut of around 2 million barrels per day, introduced in 2022. That reduction is expected to remain in place for most member countries until the end of this year. At the same time, OPEC+ is reviewing the production capacity of individual member nations, with the findings expected to shape new production baselines for 2027. The process could trigger fresh negotiations within the group. Iraq, for instance, is seeking a larger production allocation, arguing that its production capacity has increased. Geopolitical Risks Continue To Cloud The Outlook While additional oil supply could ease pressure on global markets, geopolitical developments remain a significant source of uncertainty. OPEC's Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC), which also met over the weekend, highlighted concerns over attacks on energy infrastructure linked to the ongoing US-Israeli conflict with Iran. The committee warned that repairing damaged energy facilities can be both expensive and time-consuming, raising the possibility of future supply disruptions if tensions escalate further. For India, the September production increase offers a potentially positive signal, but its ultimate impact will depend on whether higher output is sufficient to offset geopolitical risks and whether global crude flows continue without major disruptions in the months ahead.
