From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.After four lost Tests and one Twenty20 defeat, India finally claimed a win on their tour of Australia yesterday, an unbeaten half-century from Gautam Gambhir leading them to an eight-wicket victory in the second Twenty20.
Having bowled out Australia for 131 in Melbourne, India's response was anchored by Gambhir with 56 off 60 balls as they chased down their target with two balls to spare.
Australia never really got going, opener Aaron Finch top scoring with 36 off 23 balls in an innings which contained four run-outs.
"A good start is what we always look for," said India's captain MS Dhoni. "It was a very good effort from the bowlers and equally well played by the top four batsmen."
