Lata Mangeshkar was admitted to Mumbai's Breach Candy hospital to treat covid and pneumonia. Two-day national mourning will be observed in memory of Lata Mangeshkar. The national flag will also fly at half-mast for two days, and she will be given a state funeral.

Meanwhile, Babar Azam is captaining Karachi Kings in the ongoing Pakistan Super League, where they are struggling to win a match. They have played four matches so far and lost all of them. They find themselves at the bottom of the points table.

Karachi Kings are practically in a do-or-die situation. They need to win all of their matches to stand a chance to make it to the playoffs of the tournament. Their next game is against Islamabad United on the 6th of February.
