The AITA is likely to stick with Zeeshan Ali as the coach. India won their superiority in the Asia/Oceania zone.

No decision has been taken yet and a few top officers think Amritraj should not continue, as under his leadership, there has been ‘lack of discipline’ in the team.

There are some films in which the canvas is the narrative of the film, but here both the performances and the narrative are equally gripping.

Though I hear, and am sure that Eddie Redmayne is fantastic in The Danish Girl, I haven’t seen the film myself.
