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).

How Harpreet Kaur built YourLavaan, the Sikh matchmaking app behind 30 marriages

Highlights

  • YourLavaan has brought together 30 Sikh couples across four countries since launching in 2020.
  • Founder Harpreet Kaur created the app after seeing friends struggle to find compatible partners.
  • The platform focuses on marriage, community values and personal compatibility rather than casual dating.

When Harpreet Kaur launched YourLavaan in 2020, she wasn't trying to compete with mainstream dating apps. Instead, she wanted to solve a problem she had witnessed among her own friends. Many were successful professionals, ready to settle down, yet struggling to find partners through traditional Sikh matrimonial routes or dating platforms that weren't designed with their community in mind.

"I personally had friends, and my partner had friends, who had been looking for three or four years for a partner," Kaur told Eastern Eye. "They were looking for someone from the same faith, but at that point there weren't any apps specific to the Sikh community. So we really just got going."
