Maharashtra bars non-essential e-commerce
E-commerce platforms will have to stop deliveries of non-essential goods in Maharashtra from 8:00 pm today, when the state government’s new 15-day curfew to tackle the surge in Covid-19 cases comes into effect.
The state said in its guidelines on Tuesday that e-commerce would be allowed “only for the supply of essential goods and services”.
Offline vs online: The restriction on e-commerce players comes days after offline traders, who have been forced to shut shop, threatened a statewide agitation if the government didn’t accede to their demand to restrict the sale of non-essential goods online.

On December 19, the Indian second innings at Adelaide ended when Shami sustained a fracture after being hit on the right hand while trying to sway away from a bouncer delivered by Australia’s fastest bowler Pat Cummins. By then, of course, the match was virtually over with Australia having to score only 90 to win the first of the four-Test series. Shami will be out of action for six weeks and could miss the first Test against England which begins on February 5, 2021, at the Sardar Patel Cricket Stadium at Ahmedabad.
Too much focus on Kohli, too little on team selection December 19, 2020, 10:15 PM IST

That the Indian team was headed for a collapse was shocking but not surprising. The 36 all out (36 for 9 actually but Shammi was injured and couldn’t continue) in the second innings at Adelaide was always on the cards, given the obsessive focus on captain Kohli and his plans, and the distressing lack of attention to team selection.
In the run-up matches before the first Test, Shubman Gill was in cracking form, improving with every outing. Legends like Border and Gavaskar were impressed with Gill’s technique and temperament and were rooting for his inclusion in the playing eleven.
