IPL 2025: Our Destiny Is In Our Hands, Says KKR All-rounder Powell Ahead Of RR Clash
Kolkata Knight Riders: Placed seventh in the points table with nine points from 10 games, defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders are in a tight spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, needing to do a lot in their remaining matches to qualify for the playoffs. Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Rovman Powell expressed confidence in his team's ability to bounce back as they prepare to face Rajasthan Royals at Eden Gardens on Sunday. It's a position that we did not want to find ourselves in at the start of the competition, but once our destiny is still in our own hands, and it's a good place to be, Powell said, acknowledging the pressure of needing to win their remaining matches. The West Indian power-hitter emphasised the importance of focus and strategy: We can't look at the realistic picture at the end. We have to look at it one game at a time. And our opponent for the next one is the Rajasthan Royals, so we have to try our best against them. When asked about KKR's batting inconsistency in IPL 2025, Powell admitted it has been a challenge but noted signs of improvement. It's an exciting batting unit. We scored 200 on a few occasions, and a lot of our batters haven't done what they want to do. So it's just for us, each and every game, to keep on getting better. Powell also highlighted the crucial role of experienced overseas players in guiding younger teammates through high-pressure situations. For us as overseas guys who have played more cricket around the world, who have been in these positions a lot more, it's important for us to guide them and show them that it's still normal cricket. On the possibility of captain Ajinkya Rahane's availability after a recent injury, Powell shared positive news: He has shown progressive improvement over the last few days. Those are good signs going into tomorrow. It's important for us to have himhe's our captain, he's been one of our batters who have been a shining light throughout the competition. Powell also highlighted the crucial role of experienced overseas players in guiding younger teammates through high-pressure situations.

IPL 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders Seek Win Over Rajasthan Royals To Boost Playoffs Hopes
Kolkata Knight Riders: Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are aiming to secure a playoffs spot in IPL 2025. For that to happen mathematically, they need to win their remaining four matches, starting with a home game against the already-eliminated Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Eden Gardens on Sunday afternoon. The task for seventh-placed KKR is easier said than done, considering their home leg form has been poor - only one win coming from five matches. Their batters have been inconsistent - Rinku Singh and Venkatesh Iyer havent been at their run-scoring best while their opening combination never got a settled look. Captain Ajinkya Rahane is also nursing a hand injury which he picked during their 14-run win over Delhi Capitals (DC) earlier this week though it is expected that he will be fit in time for Sundays game. Its the bowling where theres been some solace spin duo of Sunil Narine, who had a brilliant all-round show in Delhi and Varun Chakaravarthy have been at their best. Meanwhile, RR have already been eliminated from the race to playoffs after a string of poor results, including a recent 100-run hammering at the hands of five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) in Jaipur. Despite this, they can still be dangerous opponents with nothing to lose, as said by Rahane on the Star Sports press room show on Friday. RR's struggles in IPL 2025 have happened due to lack of depth in both batting and bowling departments, including with regular skipper Sanju Samson being injured for a huge period. 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal have been their bright spots with the bat, while the likes of Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel and Shimron Hetmyer havent been in great form. Their bowling attack has also lacked penetration, with the likes of Jofra Archer and Maheesh Theekshana being expensive and ineffective. RR have nothing to lose, but KKR have, as the race to IPL 2025 playoffs intensifies with every outcome.

Kolkata Municipal Corporation bans rooftop restaurants across city amid fire safety concerns
KOLKATA: Two days after fifteen people, including two children, were killed in a devastating hotel fire in central Kolkata, the city Municipal Corporation has announced a complete ban on rooftop restaurants and commercial setups atop buildings across the city. Under Building Rule 117/4, the KMC will issue formal notices to rooftop restaurant owners, instructing them to shut down operations immediately. If defied, strict legal action will follow. The rule states that every terrace on the topmost storey of any building shall have common access and shall not be subdivided. Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim emphasised the importance of citizen responsibility in ensuring urban safety. The administration alone cant be held accountable for everything. Today, were making it clear that no one can sell rooftops or staircases. Rooftop cafs and illegal constructions will no longer be tolerated, he stated. A high-level committee comprising all key departments has been formed on the orders of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The committee will meet on Monday and Tuesday and submit a detailed report within 15 days. The mayor also warned against illegal godowns and unauthorized commercial use of dharamshalas, promising strict legal action in the coming days to ensure that public safety is not compromised. The mayors concern about the mushrooming of rooftop cafs and eateries across the city comes within a fortnight of a massive fire breaking out inside a now-closed rooftop food-and-drink joint on the busy Camac Street. Within 72 hours of that incident, another fire broke out in the food court of Acropolis Mall in Kasba, forcing the evacuation of hundreds of people working in the office complex of the 21-storeyed building. Senior KMC officials said on Friday that the mayor had presided over a meeting to discuss the rising number of rooftop cafs in the city. A team of officials will survey commercial establishments, including cafs and eateries that have come up on rooftops. The team will examine the facilities available in the kitchens and check the clearances that the owners have secured to run such establishments on rooftops, a senior KMC official said. Officials added that the mayor was displeased about several rooftop establishments springing up without the KMCs knowledge and had instructed them to submit a report within a week. Senior fire department officials said the basic prerequisite for granting fire clearance was to ensure that the rooftop had enough space for visitors to assemble in case of an emergency before taking the exit route.
IPL 2025: You Can Be Fit Only By Eating Home-cooked Food, Says KKR's Ramandeep Singh
Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders batter Ramandeep Singh shared valuable insights into his fitness regimen, nutrition philosophy and daily routines that keep him at peak performance. Growing up in Chandigarh with an international cyclist as a father gave Ramandeep a head start in understanding nutrition. Luckily, I have been blessed with a father who is an international cyclist. So, he has been teaching me a lot about diet from the beginning, Ramandeep revealed in KKR's fitness series 'Train Like a Knight'. This early education emphasised the importance of non-vegetarian food and dairy products, which have remained staples in his diet. The KKR batter revealed that he starts each day with traditional desi ghee, followed by a simple yet nutritious breakfast consisting of 2 whole eggs, 3 egg whites, whole wheat bread and curd. This straightforward approach to nutrition underscores his belief that fitness doesn't require exotic ingredients or complicated meal plans. Perhaps the most striking aspect of Ramandeep's nutrition philosophy is his unwavering commitment to home-cooked meals. You can be fit only by eating home-cooked food. This is what I believe, that whatever you want to eat, cook it at home. You can't be fit by going to fancy restaurants, he emphasised. He advocates for a simple approach to healthy eating that anyone can follow: Sugar, fried food and flour. If you leave these three things, 90% of your food will take care of itself. For those looking to begin their fitness journey, Ramandeep recommends bodyweight exercises like push-ups, squats, and pull-ups - the same exercises he started with as a youngster. If we start early, there are a lot of benefits. When you are in a professional sport, you take very little time to become a professional athlete, he noted. While many fitness enthusiasts focus solely on active training days, Ramandeep places equal importance on recovery. The day we are not working out, we have a recovery day. So on that day, nutrition plays a significant role. The next day you are at 100%, you are peaking. So for that, I think the rest days are more important. His pre-workout routine includes three grams of creatine, while post-workout nutrition focuses on protein with adequate fiber for proper absorption, which he gets from vegetables at dinner. Throughout the interview, Ramandeep emphasised that fitness should be accessible to everyone. For those without gym access, he suggests simple alternatives: You can do sprints because wherever there is space, you can do sprints. 20 meters is enough. Even if you're doing starts, that's really good. He also shared his healthy alternative for satisfying sweet cravings - curd with jaggery and blueberries, which offers nutritional benefits while pleasing the palate. The most important takeaway from Ramandeep's fitness philosophy is his emphasis on consistency and making healthy choices part of daily life. In your day-to-day life, you brush your teeth every day. You bathe every day. So you should eat good food every day. You should train well. He also shared his healthy alternative for satisfying sweet cravings - curd with jaggery and blueberries, which offers nutritional benefits while pleasing the palate.

IPL 2025: Important For KKR To Take It One Game At A Time, Says Rahane On Race To Playoffs
With Chennai Super Kings: The race to playoffs for IPL 2025 has now only eight teams left in contention for four spots. With Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) eliminated from the race, the onus is on defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to up their ante in every outing now if they wish to enter the playoffs and retain their title. KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane admitted the immediate aim for his team is to qualify and be in the playoffs, starting from their back-to-back home games against RR and CSK. KKR, currently with nine points, have won only one home game in the ongoing season, which puts their clashes against RR and CSK in a must-win territory. I think the next two games we are playing at Kolkata, as you mentioned, are against RR and CSK. It's important for us to take one game at a time. As you mentioned, RR and CSK are out, but they are still dangerous teams. When teams are out, they got nothing to lose, and they come with a different mindset to play the game. So, for us, it's important to go out there with the right mindset, right attitude on that given day and give our best and try to win the match. So, that will be really important playing against RR and CSK, said Rahane to IANS during the Star Sports Press Room show, centered around the race to playoffs, on Friday. A 14-run win over Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday meant that KKR are still alive in contention for a top-four finish. In that win, veteran spinner Sunil Narine shaped as a decisive figure in all aspects of the game for KKR. Narine hit a quick 27 with the bat, before effecting a run-out of KL Rahul and picked 3-29, including two wickets in the 14th over. Apart from pulling off a catch of Ashutosh Sharma, Narine also captained KKR when Rahane went off the field due to a hand injury. Barring the ongoing and 2021 seasons with KKR, Rahane had largely been a part of opposition teams strategising against Narine and decoding his mystery. Now, as someone who captains Narine, Rahane explained what makes him such a fantastic asset in the KKR set-up. Talking about Sunil Narine, I think he's been fantastic for us, and this franchise. We all know that I'm watching him for the first time. But I was here in 2021 (as a KKR player), and he's been working really hard on his game. He still goes to the ground before the teams practice. He will bowl for an hour. Then he'll bat again and come to bowl. So, I think the hard work, the attitude which he has, and the experience which he brings has been amazing. He seems to be really calm, a very composed guy and very well thinker of the game. As you mentioned, I used to see him from the opposition team. But now it's so good to have him on the same side. Kabhi bhi uske paas jaa sakta hoon (I can go to him anytime) whenever we are in a difficult situation, when we are bowling, and he always delivers. So, it's good to have him and also not to forget, Varun Chakravarthy as well. He's been doing well for us, he concluded. He still goes to the ground before the teams practice. He will bowl for an hour. Then he'll bat again and come to bowl. So, I think the hard work, the attitude which he has, and the experience which he brings has been amazing. He seems to be really calm, a very composed guy and very well thinker of the game. Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score Article Source: IANS

Unauthorised construction must be demolished: Supreme Court
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court, in a recent order, held that no leniency should be shown towards illegal and unauthorised construction, stating unequivocally that such structures must be demolished. A person who has no regard for the law cannot be permitted to seek regularisation after constructing two floors without authorisation. The unauthorised construction has to be demolishedthere is no way out. Justice is to be rendered in accordance with the law. We are pained to observe that this aspect has not been considered by many state governments while enacting Regularisation of Unauthorised Development Acts based on payment of impact fees, the bench observed while dismissing an appeal filed by one Kaniz Ahmed. It was alleged that the petitioner, Ahmed, had built a two-storied unauthorised building in Kolkata. Earlier, the Calcutta High Court had dismissed his plea, prompting him to approach the apex court for relief. The Supreme Court further stated that the law ought not to come to the rescue of those who flout it, as allowing such violations would promote a culture of impunity. If the law were to protect those who endeavour to disregard it, the same would undermine the deterrent effect of laws, which is the cornerstone of a just and orderly society, the Court observed. The bench, comprising Justice J.B. Pardiwala and Justice R. Mahadevan, upheld the Calcutta High Courts ruling, which had rejected Ahmeds plea and refused to allow regularisation of the unauthorised construction, ordering its demolition. Strictly asserting that illegal constructions will not be tolerated, the top court said, We must adopt a strict approach while dealing with cases of illegal construction and should not readily entertain regularisation of buildings erected without requisite permissions from the competent authority. The need for maintaining such a firm stance arises not only from the inviolable duty cast upon the courts to uphold the rule of law, but also from the necessity to protect the well-being of the public, the court noted in its order. The apex court, completely agreeing with the observations of the High Court, praised the courage and conviction with which the latter had acted against unauthorised construction in exercise of its jurisdiction in the public interest. Citing one of its recent rulings in the case of Rajendra Kumar Barjatya vs. P. Avas Evam Vikas Parishad and Others , the top court reiterated that all construction must be undertaken in strict adherence to applicable rules and regulations. In the event of any violation being brought to the notice of the courts, it should be dealt with an iron hand. Any leniency or mercy shown to the guilty would amount to misplaced sympathy, the Court said, citing its earlier judgment.

CBI takes NEET-UG 2024 question paper leak kingpin Sanjeev Mukhiya on four-day remand
PATNA: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday took Sanjeev Kumar Singh , alias Sanjeev Mukhiya, on a four-day remand for interrogation in connection with the NEET-UG 2024 question paper leak case. Mukhiya, the alleged mastermind behind several question paper leak rackets, was arrested from Patna last Friday. CBI special judge Sunil Kumar-2 granted the four-day remand after a petition was filed seeking his custody for interrogation in the undergraduate medical entrance exam case. Although the CBI had requested a seven-day remand, the court granted only four. Mukhiya, a native of Bihars Nalanda district, is believed to be at the centre of an inter-state solver gang involved in leaking question papers of various national-level exams. We hope to get substantial clue in the medical entrance exam question paper leak case, said an investigating officer on condition of anonymity. During an earlier interrogation by Bihar Polices Economic Offences Unit (EOU), Mukhiya reportedly claimed that he had helped several politicians, doctors and government officers by securing medical college seats for their children. He also confessed to maintaining connections with teachers at private coaching institutes, who would send candidates to him. He disclosed that the leaks were carried out in collusion with certain printing press employees. As soon as his men would inform him about question of a particular examination being printed in a press, he would start his work and contact them, the officer said. Mukhiya would allegedly offer hefty bribes to gain access to the papers. NTA initiates action against Telegram, Instagram channels claiming NEET-UG question paper leak Once the question papers were dispatched from the press, his men coordinated with carrier agents. The examination centre authorities were reportedly aware of only two locks on the boxes carrying the question papers, while Mukhiya had access to a third hidden lock. He would open the boxes, make xerox copies of the papers, reseal them carefully, and send them to the examination centres without raising suspicion. The xeroxed question papers were solved by his solver teams and passed on to the candidates before the exams. For the NEET-UG examination, the gang charged between Rs 40 to 50 lakh per candidate. Mukhiya claimed to have strong connections in examination rackets operating in Dehradun, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Kolkata, Gurugram, Noida and Gandhinagar. We used to take help of each other in our work, an investigating officer quoted him as saying. Revealing his personal motivation, Mukhiya reportedly told interrogators that he entered the question paper leak business to accumulate enough money to make his wife an MLA and eventually an MP. He said he had expanded his network to states including Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Delhi, Punjab and West Bengal. Additional Director General (ADG) of EOU, Naiyar Hasnain Khan, said information had been sought regarding the cases registered against Mukhiya in other states. We have shared relevant information to police officers of different states where Mukhiya has been links, Khan said. The ADG clarified that Mukhiya was arrested from an apartment near Saguna Mor under Danapur police limits in connection with the Bihar constable and teachers recruitment exam leak cases being probed by the states investigating agency. Mukhiya also confessed during interrogation that his son, Dr Shiv Prakash, and his associate, Rocky, were active members of the gang. He admitted to his involvement in leaks of question papers of NEET, BPSC, and constable recruitment exams in both Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

IPL 2025: GT Eye Playoff Berth As SRH Face Must-win Clash In Ahmedabad
Inian Premier League: Gujarat Titans return to their fortress at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Friday with redemption on their mind after being blown away by Rajasthan Royals' teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal. The 14-year-old prodigys record-shattering 35-ball century left GT slumping to an eight-wicket defeat despite posting a mammoth 209 on the board. But with the business end of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 approaching, the Titans remain on course for a playoff spot and will now aim to consolidate their position against an under-pressure Sunrisers Hyderabad outfit. Despite the recent hammering, Shubman Gills men have little reason to panic. With six wins in nine games, GT sit comfortably in the top four with 12 points and need just two more victories from their remaining five matches to virtually seal a place in the playoffs. Their campaign has been built on stability and depth, with both the batting and bowling departments delivering consistently. The top order has been particularly impressive. Sai Sudharsan, the current Orange Cap holder, has anchored the batting unit with remarkable consistency, amassing 456 runs with five half-centuries. Hes ably supported by captain Gill (389 runs) and Jos Buttler (406 runs), both of whom are among the leagues top scorers. Even though Suryavanshis fireworks briefly overshadowed them, the trio remains one of the most feared in the tournament. On the bowling front, Prasidh Krishna has emerged as the leader of the pace pack, while Mohammed Siraj and Ishant Sharma have chipped in effectively. Rashid Khans return to rhythm, especially his tidy 2-25 against Kolkata Knight Riders, bodes well for the side. Washington Sundar has provided quiet but crucial support with his economical spells in the middle overs. GT will also take heart from their earlier clash against Sunrisers this season a dominant seven-wicket win in Hyderabad, set up by Sirajs fiery 4-17 spell. Replicating that performance could virtually end SRHs dwindling playoff hopes. For Sunrisers Hyderabad, every match from here is a do-or-die scenario. With only three wins from nine outings, last years finalists have dropped to ninth on the table and are teetering on the edge of elimination. A defeat on Friday would almost certainly end their campaign. SRHs trademark aggressive style of batting has been missing this season, especially at the top. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, the teams explosive openers, have faltered in recent outings. Head has just one fifty in his last eight innings, while Abhishek has failed to reach double digits in the last two games a massive dip in form for the pair that was expected to lay the foundation for big totals. The middle order hasn't offered much relief either. Heinrich Klaasen, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Ishan Kishan have all struggled to find fluency, leaving a heavy burden on young Aniket Verma. The 23-year-old Madhya Pradesh batter has surprisingly outperformed the big names in terms of six-hitting this season and could play a key role in any SRH fightback. In the bowling department, Harshal Patel has been a lone bright spot, with his crafty variations troubling batters even on flat decks. But Pat Cummins and Mohammed Shami the seasoned campaigners are yet to hit their stride. Their inability to deliver consistent breakthroughs has hurt SRH in crunch situations.

IPL 2025: I Barely Slept The Night Before My Debut For Mumbai Indians, Says Suryakumar
The Suryakumar Yadav Experience: Mumbai Indians batter Suryakumar Yadav recently reflected on his debut season for Mumbai Indians in 2011 and said that he barely slept the night before the game. Suryakumar first came into prominence during the 201112 Ranji Trophy season, where he emerged as the top scorer for Mumbai with 754 runs in nine matches. His impressive domestic form earned him a spot in the Mumbai Indians squad the same year. In the 2012 IPL, Suryakumar made his debut for Mumbai Indians against Pune Warriors at the Wankhede Stadium. He played in one match and was dismissed for a duck. This was also the only match he played for MI in that season. After a brief stint, he moved to Kolkata Knight Riders in 2013 and played a key role in their middle order, contributing to their title win in 2014. I barely slept the night before my debut for Mumbai Indians - went to bed around 4 or 5 in the morning. There was so much excitement. Playing for a franchise brings a different kind of buzz. I was just enjoying the moment, thinking about stepping onto the field for warm-up and as soon as I did, I was already sweating. It felt really good, Suryakumar said on JioHotstars special show, The Suryakumar Yadav Experience. In 2018, Suryakumar returned to Mumbai Indians and enjoyed a breakthrough season with 512 runs, becoming a vital part of their batting lineup. His performances in the 2019 and 2020 seasons were instrumental in MI's title runs and eventually led to his much-awaited national team call-up. In 2018, I didnt expect to open. I didnt in the first two games, but then the team management came to me and said they wanted me to take on that responsibility. I was keen, so I embraced it. From there, it was up to me to make the most of the opportunity. I didnt overthink it. Having played all my cricket in Mumbai, I was familiar with the conditions at Wankhede and the pitches. I just kept playing and practicing. I didnt expect to have a season with 500 runs as my previous seasons never went beyond 200, but this felt different. He also recalled the IPL 2019 final between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, which Mumbai eventually won by one run. Although he didnt directly take part in the last-over decision-making, he was closely observing. I was standing at a distance when Rohit and Malinga were talking. Malinga just said, Dont worry, Ill do it. And he did. That moment taught me how important calmness is in such pressure situations. One of the most emotional moments in his career came in 2020 when he was not picked for the Indian teams tour of Australia. He had been doing well in domestic cricket and also had a good IPL season. Everyone thought I would be selected. Even overseas players were saying the same. When I didnt see my name in the squad, I didnt talk to anyone for 2-3 days. I didnt practice either. Mahela and Zaheer could see that something was wrong, Suryakumar said. From 2021 onwards, Suryakumar has changed the way he approaches T20 batting. Earlier, I was batting at a strike rate of 140150. But the game changed. So I started practicing different shots to stay ahead of the bowlers and captains. I focused on areas where I could score with less risk. My century this season against Sunrisers Hyderabad came because of that practice. Suryakumar has grown into a dependable batter for India and MI, known for his aggressive and inventive shot-making. He was part of Indias victorious squad at the 2024 T20 World Cup and is now leading the national T20 side following Rohit Sharmas retirement. In 160 IPL matches, Suryakumar has scored more than 4,000 runs, including two centuries and 27 half-centuries. From 2021 onwards, Suryakumar has changed the way he approaches T20 batting. Earlier, I was batting at a strike rate of 140150. But the game changed. So I started practicing different shots to stay ahead of the bowlers and captains. I focused on areas where I could score with less risk. My century this season against Sunrisers Hyderabad came because of that practice. Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score Article Source: IANS

High-level committee will probe Kolkata hotel fire, says Mayor Firhad Hakim
KOLKATA : Mayor Firhad Hakim on Wednesday said a high-level inquiry committee will be formed to probe the devastating fire that claimed 14 lives in a Kolkata hotel. The committee will comprise the municipal commissioner and senior officials from the fire brigade and police, Hakim said after visiting the spot. Proceedings will be initiated against anyone found responsible, he added. Police commissioner Manoj Verma told reporters that 14 people died and 13 were injured in the fire at the hotel located in the congested Mechuapatti area of Burrabazar. Hakim, who is also West Bengal's Municipal Affairs and Urban Development minister, claimed that 15 persons succumbed in the blaze. He said the city police authorities were in touch with the families of the deceased. We will make arrangements for sending the bodies in accordance with the wishes of the family members of the deceased, he said. The minister said compensation will be given to the kin of the deceased. Stating that all those who died in the fire have been identified, Hakim said police officers were in touch with the family members of the deceased. Responding to allegations of illegal construction at the hotel, Hakim said such issues are often only highlighted after a tragedy occurs. Why are complaints not raised when violations take place? he questioned, drawing a comparison to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam. Just like terrorists' houses are blown up only after the killings, action on such claims of illegal structures seems to come only after loss of life. However, BJP councillor Sajal Ghosh levelled serious allegations, claiming illegal constructions were allowed in the hotel and that a bar was being set up on the premises with tacit approval from top officials in the municipal corporation. There are countless complaints of illegal construction across the city, but rarely is any action taken, Ghosh said at NRS Hospital, where some victims were admitted. Inquiry committees are formed after every major incident, but nothing ever comes of them, he added. Blaze turns Kolkata hotel into death trap; guests jump, scream as flames engulf building
IPL 2025: Going To Be Exciting As Well As Challenging, Says Dravid On Managing Suryavanshi
Star Sports Press Room: Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been talk of the town in the cricketing world ever since he blazed his way to becoming the youngest player to hit an IPL century. Playing just his third IPL game, the left-handed opener smacked a whirlwind hundred off just 35 balls for Rajasthan Royals against a quality Gujarat Titans bowling line-up to leave the cricketing world jaw-dropped. The spotlight on Suryavanshi, just 14, also means that Indian cricket ecosystem should have a sensitive and professional approach to ensure his upward trajectory continues and that he becomes an asset for the national team in future. Theres a school of thought which feels that sounds of recent adulation must not distract people around Suryavanshi from the work needed for him to become a long-term success. Rahul Dravid, the current Rajasthan Royals head coach remarked that the task of managing young Suryavanshi, now the youngest centurion in mens T20 cricket, presents both exciting and challenging aspects for Indian cricket, something which he admitted has occupied paramount space in his mind. What can we do for Vaibhav? I think it's going to be challenging. Right just from this very interview I've come, every single question I've been asked has been about Vaibhav, right? So, I mean, it's exactly the thoughts that it's going on in the top of my head that this is going to be challenging for him and for the kid. I mean, it's going to be challenging. But it's also exciting. I think it's going to be exciting as well as it's going to be challenging. I think, again, I would love to say that, maybe we should not shower him with that much attention and that much focus. But maybe I'm being nave and maybe I'm not being realistic because maybe that is going to happen. So like I said and answered earlier, maybe it's just a question of putting a bit of a support system around him and trying to help him navigate that as best as he possibly can, because as I can see here, all I've heard is questions only about Vaibhav, right? said Dravid to IANS on the Star Sports Press Room show on Wednesday. Indian cricket has seen instances in the past where young batters have done well in a few innings, but faded away soon due to lack of proper mentorship and not being surrounded by the right people to move in the right direction in their cricketing careers. Dravid, who previously served as India U19, A and senior team levels apart from being head of cricket at the National Cricket Academy (now called BCCI CoE), clearly knows a thing or two about managing and nurturing many young cricketers. When in the national set-up, he saw the likes of Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, Khaleel Ahmed, Washington Sundar, Riyan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal amongst others grow from talented teenagers to be mainstays of the national and their respective IPL teams. Thus, Dravids views on managing Suryavanshi carry significant weight, acting as an authoritative guide for the larger ecosystem. Coming to IPL 2025, eighth-placed RR need wins in their remaining four matches to have a slim chance at entering the playoffs one of which happens against Mumbai Indians at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Thursday. With this week of the tournament seeing RR and Kolkata Knight Riders upstaging higher-ranked sides like GT and Delhi Capitals respectively, Dravid feels the approach of RR taking it one game at a time, without worrying about the playoffs scenario, will serve his team well. In terms of this thing, I think we recognize that we are - by losing a few close games - a bit lower down in the table. So we are really focusing on taking it just one game at a time, and not looking too far ahead. I do believe this is a tournament that the teams are really close irrespective of whether and where they are in the points table. You will see that even teams which are finished lower down at seventh, eighth and ninth, can easily beat some of the top two or three teams. I think the margins have been really small, the teams are really tight and it's just one of those things. If the rub of the green goes your way, you can have a bit of a run and if it doesn't, you can slide back very quickly. So sometimes you can overanalyze and overthink this too much, but it is a tight tournament. I completely recognize that we are with six points pretty far down the table and we just have to take it one game at a time. We know we have to try and win every single game, but it starts by trying to win the next one and not worrying about what else happens on the table and so thats where we stand, he concluded. If the rub of the green goes your way, you can have a bit of a run and if it doesn't, you can slide back very quickly. So sometimes you can overanalyze and overthink this too much, but it is a tight tournament. Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score Article Source: IANS
