India sees over 226 pc surge in startup funding at $596 mn this week
The Indian startup ecosystem bounced back this week in terms of raising funds, clocking more than 226 per cent surge with securing around $596 million in total.
In the 14th overs of South Africa’s innings in the opening T20 International match between India and Proteas on Sunday, skipper Virat Kohli walked off the field on Sunday. There were injury concerns and a question mark over his availability for the second tie.
Virat has now confirmed that there is no injury concern and the reason why he decided to walk back to the stands was due to a slight stiffness of the glute. And that means he would be available for the second T20I match against the Proteas on Wednesday at the SuperSport Park in Centurion.
While talking about his injury, Virat Kohli explained that “The injury was early on in the innings when I went for the single. It was my glute and thankfully not my hammy. You know how I am, I had to bend bit more quickly. Then I felt a little bit more stiffness in my glute and that is why I went off. Not to be stupid and tear a muscle, I decided to go off and get it checked.”

After winning the six-match One Day International (ODI) series 5-1, visitors continue their momentum as they won the first T20I match at the new Wanderers Stadium by 28 runs.
India have taken a lead of 1-0 in the series.
On the Sunday win, Virat said, “Very impressive from the boys. It was a good wicket to bat on. Although Rohit did not get many, but the start off 21 off 9 gave us the start. Shikhar was outstanding. It was a total team batting performance. With the ball, Bhuvi showed his experience. We could always bank on Jassi and Unadkat did well as well. This was one of our most balanced performances. We never let the run rate drop less than 10.5. I was thinking maybe 220 at the 16 over mark. The basic message to the team was we are here till 25th. We can’t go away before that and have to make the best of every time here.”
