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).
English cricket team skipper Joe Root on Tuesday (7 August) confirmed that rookie batsman Ollie Pope will make his Test debut in the second Test match between India and England at the Lord’s starting on Thursday (9th August).
Speaking to media at the pre-match press conference, Root announced that Surrey batsman Pope would receive his first cap batting at No. 4, replacing Dawid Malan from the side.
“Ollie Pope will come in and bat at four,” said Root, adding, “He’s obviously batted at six for Surrey this season — but having seen him play a little bit, and the way his game is set up, I think it’s very much transferable to bat at number four in Test cricket.

“I know that might be seen as quite a big jump. But he’s obviously an exciting talent and, with the guys around him, I think he fits nicely into that position in our team.”
