VIRAT KOHLI reached his 71st ODI fifty in Sunday's (12) World Cup clash against the Netherlands but was unable to push on for an all-time record 50th century in the format.

Kohli surpassed South Africa's Quinton de Kock (591) as the leading batsman of the 2023 tournament with 594 runs before left-arm spinner Roelof van der Merwe bowled the star batsman for 51.

The Bengaluru crowd went silent after anticipating Kohli's 50th ODI ton after he equalled Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 in the team's previous win over South Africa.

India, who have eight wins out of eight matches at the World Cup, will face New Zealand in the first semi-final at Mumbai on Wednesday (15).

Most UK millionaires say they would pay more tax to protect public services

  • Around 88 per cent of UK millionaires say they are proud to live in Britain, according to a new survey.
  • Three-quarters said they would support paying more tax to fund public services and national assets.
  • Only 9 per cent said they were most concerned about millionaires leaving the UK.

At a time when fears of wealthy people leaving Britain over higher taxes continue to dominate political and business debate, a new survey suggests many UK millionaires may not be as eager to flee as widely believed.

Research conducted for Patriotic Millionaires UK found that most wealthy respondents still feel strongly attached to the country, with many even backing higher taxes to support public services and infrastructure.
