US President Donald Trump announced the implementation of “reciprocal tariffs,” a key component of the “tariff war” he initiated against numerous countries. He chose 2 April for the implementation, declaring it a day of economic liberation for America and promising to restore its prosperity. During a White House Rose Garden media briefing, Trump announced the imposition of reciprocal tariffs on several countries, including India.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reciprocal Tariff on India</h2>



A 26% discounted reciprocal tariff has been imposed on India by the US. Under this discounted reciprocal tariff system, the US will levy a tariff equal to half the tariff imposed by the respective country on US goods. According to Trump, India levies a 52% tariff on US imports; therefore, a 26% tariff (half of 52%) has been imposed on imports from India.

RCB vs GT Match Highlights: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) suffered an 8-wicket defeat at the hands of Gujarat Titans (GT) on Wednesday at their home ground, the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Batting first after losing the toss, RCB managed 169 runs for the loss of eight wickets in their allotted 20 overs, thanks to a half-century by Liam Livingstone. 



In response, Gujarat Titans comfortably chased down the target with two wickets remaining and 13 balls to spare. Following the home defeat, RCB captain Rajat Patidar appeared extremely unhappy with his top-order batsmen. Without naming them directly, he held Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, and Devdutt Padikkal responsible for the loss.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘We shouldn&#8217;t have lost 3 wickets after the powerplay’</h2>



Following their first defeat in IPL 2025, Rajat Patidar said that they were aiming for a target around 190, not 200, but losing early wickets in the powerplay proved detrimental. Commenting on the early dismissals of Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, and Devdutt Padikkal, he said, &#8220;I think the intent was good, but we shouldn&#8217;t have lost 3 wickets after the powerplay; that was one wicket too many.&#8221;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Praised Jitesh, Livingstone and David</h2>



Patidar further added that the bowlers did a commendable job trying to defend the total, and it was impressive to see them hold on until the 18th over. He praised the batting performances of Jitesh, Liam Livingstone, and Tim David, stating, &#8220;The way Jitesh, Liam Livingstone and Tim David batted was positive for us. We are confident about our batting line-up; they are showing some positive intent, which is very good for us.&#8221;

Meanwhile, GT captain Shubman Gill stated that restricting RCB to 170 was a good effort. He commented on the wicket, saying, &#8220;Sometimes there&#8217;s something special about the wicket. You can score 250 runs and also take early wickets. There was something for the fast bowlers in the first 7-8 overs, and we knew that if we took early wickets, we would stay in the game. We batted professionally considering the wicket.&#8221;

Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 4: Salman Khan&#8217;s film, Sikandar, has completed four days at the box office. Theatres are yearning for viewers. While the film&#8217;s collection was spectacular during Eid, the momentum has significantly waned post-Eid. Salman Khan&#8217;s fans eagerly awaited his film, expecting an entertaining movie, which Sikandar arguably failed to deliver. However, some fans praise the film, while others deem it extremely poor. The film&#8217;s fourth-day (Wednesday) collection is now out, revealing a single-digit earning. Let&#8217;s find out how much Sikandar earned…



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sikandar&#8217;s Fourth Day Fizzles Out (Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 4)</h2>



According to Sacnilk data, the film Sikandar stars Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles. This marked their first on-screen pairing. The film&#8217;s underperformance is quite disappointing. Sikandar opened with a collection of ₹26 crore. On the second day, it saw a significant jump, reaching ₹29 crore. However, the collection dropped to just ₹19 crore on the third day. Subsequently, on the fourth day of its release (Wednesday, 2nd April), Sikandar earned a mere ₹9.75 crore. The film&#8217;s total collection now stands at ₹84.25 crore. Sikandar experienced a whirlwind collection on its second day, which subsided within just four days. However, there is hope that Sikandar might see a strong collection during the weekend.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Will Sikandar Fall into the Flop Category? </h2>



The film Sikandar is directed by A.R. Murugadoss, who previously directed Aamir Khan&#8217;s &#8216;Ghajini&#8217;. However, he hasn&#8217;t been able to replicate the blockbuster success of &#8216;Ghajini&#8217; with &#8216;Sikandar&#8217;. Sikandar&#8217;s budget is reportedly ₹200 crore. If the current collection trend continues, it seems unlikely to recover even half its budget and might fall into the flop category. For now, the makers hope for a better performance during the weekend.

Good News for Pregnant Women and Malnourished Children: Malnourished children will now receive 25 grams of milk powder five days a week, incorporated into their nutritional supplements. Pregnant women will receive a Supposhan Nutri Kit containing 1 kg of ghee, along with makhana (fox nuts), dates, and other nutritious items. The Women and Child Development Department has begun preparations and submitted the budget proposal to the Finance Department. Officials expect the increased milk powder for children and the kits for pregnant women to be distributed from July.



Currently, the department provides malnourished children with 15 grams of milk powder as part of their nutritional supplements. Last month, the Chief Minister announced an increase of 10 grams, prompting the department to process the necessary paperwork. Upon approval, malnourished children will receive 25 grams of milk powder. Approximately 70,000 malnourished children aged 6 months to 5 years will benefit from this initiative. Officials estimate an annual expenditure of approximately ₹3.5 crore.



Malnourished children will now receive 25 grams of milk powder instead of 15 grams, along with their nutritional supplements. Pregnant women will receive a Supposhan Nutri Kit containing ghee, dates, makhana (fox nuts), and other items. Preparations for this initiative have commenced.

MP News: A sex racket has been busted in Guna, Madhya Pradesh, operating just 800 metres from the Kotwali police station. Police raided the spa centre and apprehended two girls and two boys, who are currently being questioned. Preliminary investigations suggest the centre had been operational for about a year. Police sent an officer undercover as a client; once sex trafficking was confirmed, the raid was conducted.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Seven Days of Surveillance</h2>



Kotwali TI Brijmohan Singh Bhadauria received information about the sex racket operating under the guise of a spa centre. To gather concrete evidence, he deployed officers in plain clothes at various times over seven days to monitor the centre. Once suspicious activities were confirmed, the SP, ASP, and CSP were informed, leading to the raid.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Undercover Officer, ₹3,000 Demand</h2>



An officer from the Kotwali police station was sent undercover to the spa centre located in Anuradha Galli. When the officer spoke to the woman running the centre, she demanded ₹3,000. The money was paid, and the police, who had already surrounded the building, immediately conducted the raid. Two girls and two boys were apprehended from the spa centre, along with objectionable material. One of the girls is from Bhopal and has previously run similar centres in Bhopal.

Stephen Fleming on MS Dhoni: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) suffered a six-wicket defeat against Rajasthan Royals in the 11th match of IPL 2025. When Dhoni came to bat at number 7, CSK needed 54 runs from 25 balls. Dhoni could only manage 16 runs from 11 balls, and CSK lost the match. After the match, CSK coach Stephen Fleming revealed that MS cannot bat at full strength for 10 overs due to a knee problem. CSK also lost to RCB by 50 runs in Chepauk. In that match, Dhoni faced criticism for batting at number 9. Now, a shocking report claims that, according to the coach, Dhoni will only play six more matches this season.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘His knees aren’t what they used to be’</h2>



After the loss against Rajasthan Royals, Fleming said that it&#8217;s a matter of time. Dhoni himself assesses this. His body, his knees, aren&#8217;t what they used to be. Although he is able to move properly, there is also a nutritional aspect. Therefore, he cannot bat at full strength for 10 overs.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘Bringing him in at the 9th or 10th over isn’t appropriate’</h2>



He said that if the match is balanced, he will go for batting first, and there will also be opportunities when he will support other players. I also said last year that MS is valuable to us, his leadership and wicket-keeping skills, but bringing him in at the 9th or 10th over isn&#8217;t appropriate. He is trying to score runs after the 13th-14th over.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dhoni to play only 6 more matches</h2>



Meanwhile, a report released on OneCricket&#8217;s official Instagram account states that CSK coach Stephen Fleming said, &#8220;I spoke with MS last night, and we discussed his future role in CSK. We concluded that he will only remain in Chepauk for the remainder of the season.&#8221;



This means he will only play six more matches this season. Currently, Chennai Super Kings have 11 out of 14 league matches remaining, of which 6 will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk) in Chennai. No knockout matches will be played in Chepauk.

Stephen Fleming on MS Dhoni: Social media is abuzz with speculation that IPL 2025 will be MS Dhoni&#8217;s last season, after which he will retire. Meanwhile, a surprising report suggests that Dhoni will only play six matches this season.
