Is India set to become the new beauty destination for global brands?
The Indian beauty market is estimated to reach $2.27 billion by 2028, with a CAGR of 10.91% during the forecast period (2023-2028).
Absent all-rounder Ben Stokes sent best wishes to his England team-mates, in particular, debutant batsman Ollie Pope, ahead of the second Test against India at Lord’s today.
Stokes was left out of England’s squad’s for the second Test because of his ongoing trial on a charge of affray in Bristol, having taken three wickets as the hosts completed a 31-run win at Edgbaston on Sunday to go 1-0 up in a five-match series.
The 27-year-old Stokes has denied the charge against him.

“Good luck to all the englandcricket lads today and for the rest of the week, always exciting seeing guys get there first opportunity, hope it goes for you well for you @opope32 #loveengland” wrote Stokes.
