India is a potential investment destination for a new sovereign wealth fund created by Ireland to cope with digitalisation and climate change, even as the European Union (EU) member state eyes Indian firms for investments in technology, research and innovation. The Future Ireland Fund is one of two new funds unveiled in Ireland’s latest budget, and the government plans to put aside 0.8% of the country’s GDP into this fund every year between now and 2035. The fund is designed to meet future costs from changing demographics, an ageing population, digitalisation and the impact of climate change. Ireland’s finance minister Michael McGrath, told a visiting group of journalists from Asia and the Pacific last week that while the investment mandate of the Future Ireland Fund is yet to be finalised, he envisaged that it will be primarily based on global investments.

Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Sunday said he donated ₹1.11 lakh for the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya as he is a ‘good Hindu’. During an interaction with reporters in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh’s capital Bhopal, the former chief minister said,”I follow Sanatana Dharma, and I am a good Hindu… However, the use of religion in elections is prohibited”. “In the construction of Ram Mandir, Shivraj Singh Chouhan gave ₹1 lakh, while I gave ₹1.11 lakh. I sent that cheque to PM Modi to submit to the trust. He sent it back and asked me to submit it myself. I submitted it”, Singh was quoted by ANI as saying. Singh’s remark comes less than a week after he was involved in a war of words with incumbent chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan over the latter performing ‘Kanya Puja’ at his residence on the last day of Navratri.

Virat Kohli was dismissed for a duck for the first time in his ODI World Cup career, during India’s fixture against England in Lucknow, on Sunday. The former India captain faced nine deliveries, failing to register a single run, and was eventually dismissed by David Willey. Receiving a back of a length delivery from Willey, around middle, Kohli skipped down the track to go for a big shot, but ended up miscuing it badly in the air towards mid-off where Ben Stokes took a simple catch. At the time of Kohli’s departure, India were reeling at 27/2 in 6.5 overs, with Shubman Gill (9) also losing his wicket to Chris Woakes earlier. In 32 innings before the England match, Kohli has registered 1384 runs at an average of 53.23. This is also his 16th duck in ODIs and third against England in the same format. His first ODI duck against England was in Kolkata in 2011, and then in Dharamshala in 2013. Dig Deeper
