It is not easy for an FMCG brand to make a comeback if it has been out of consumer's reckoning for some time. Moreover, a protracted battle between the owners and then closure of a large number of outlets at one go might have sent some very negative signals to many, says Sneha Bhattacharjee.
Ravindra Jadeja's absence from the T20 series was expected to weaken India but the hosts found an able replacement in "outstanding" Axar Patel, said Australia coach Andrew McDonald.
Bakshi had moved the application under Section 9 of the Conciliation and Arbitration Act, dealing with foreign arbitration and foreign tribunals.
McDonald's problems couldn't have surfaced at a worse time. Cut-throat competition, rapid expansion and a slowdown in consumer spending in the wake of demonetisation have seriously dented the overall quick-service restaurant business.
Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne said he had "never seen" someone bowl like the way Pat Cummins did during the World Cup final against India, which they won by six wickets for a record-extending sixth title.

McDonald's India is setting up a food processing plant in the North. Though the location is yet to be finalised, the proposed plant is likely to be set up either in Punjab or Haryana with an investment of Rs 100 crore. Also, it has plans to set up a distribution centre in this region in addition to Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Banglore.

'There will be an extended period of time out and we're just going to weigh whether that time falls potentially with an option to carry him through the front half of the World Cup.'
Amid controversy over a street child being thrown out of a McDonald's restaurant in Pune, the Shiv Sena, which is a part of BJP-led government in Maharashtra, on Monday wondered as to when will acche din (good days) arrive for the poor in the country.
For long, McDonald's has been riding on the affordability plank, advertising its prices that are apparently a throwback to an era. Now, it has to share the plank with India's oldest fast food giant, Nirula's when it comes to people picked from sepia tone menus. In spite of a rise in input costs, homegrown fast food chain Nirula's, which a-decade-and-a-half ago was the only one of its kind in Delhi, has slashed its prices.
McDonald said team management were continually talking to senior players about their plans.
