Kitch and Neeil. Talking sport and business across the UAE.

Syed Kirmani joins the show with Neeil to revisit the 1971 India clinching their first series victory over Australia with a thumping win in the sixth Test in Bombay.

Going into the match 0-1 down, Australia had to win to square the series, but Sunil Gavaskar and Chetan Chauhan closed the door with an opening partnership of 192. Gavaskar and Syed Kirmani made hundreds (Kirmani was only the third nightwatchman to do so in a Test), and the No. 9, Karsan Ghavri, iced the cake with a rumbustious 86 to take the score to 458. With no hope of victory, Australia subsided meekly. In the first innings, only Graham Yallop (60) passed 25, in the second, only Allan Border (61) and Kim Hughes (80) reached double figures, and India wrapped up victory by an innings and 100 runs, with a day to spare.

Bitcoin breaks above $20,000, ending two-week slump.

Arshad Khan, CEO of Venomex Limited  

Bitcoin broke above $20,000, ending its longest run below that price level since the token first breached the threshold in late 2020. 

The largest cryptocurrency by market value, rose as much as 4.15% to $20,185 Tuesday. The token has traded below $20,000 for nearly three weeks, breaking from the coin's trademark volatility. Other digital assets followed with Ether gaining as much as 11% to trade at $1,505, its highest price this month. And so-called alt-coins like Solana and Dogeoin also advanced. 

Despite the gains, Bitcoin still remains in its multi-month price slump as central banks hike interest rates to curb rising inflation. The token has lost close to 60% of its value since the start of the year.
