Congress Leaves Amethi, Rae Bareli Candidate Decision to Mallikarjun Kharge
MUMBAI: The Congress Central Election Committee (CEC) left the decision to select the candidates of Amethi and Rae Bareli to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge. At the CEC meeting in the national capital on Saturday, the members demanded that Rahul Gandhi must contest from Amethi against Union Minister Smriti Irani and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra be fielded to contest from her mother Sonia Gandhis erstwhile seat, Rae Bareli. General secretary incharge of Uttar Pradesh Avinash Pande urged the Congress leadership that a decision should be taken at the earliest and that the Gandhi siblings be picked as candidates from Amethi and Rae Bareli parliamentary constituencies. Mr Gandhi has already contested polls from the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat in Kerala, which went to polls on April 26. Voting in both Amethi and Rae Bareli is scheduled for May 20 th . Both Rae Bareli and Amethi are considered to be Gandhi bastions. Though Mr Gandhi won from Amethi in 2004, 2009 and 2014, he lost the parliamentary seat to Ms Irani in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Now the party cadres want the seat to be wrested from the BJP. Sources say that the next CEC meeting will take place on Monday, in which the candidates for the remaining seats in Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab will be decided.

Congress' Bajwa censures AAP for fielding 'outsiders' as candidates in Punjab for Lok Sabha elections Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa on Saturday took a swipe at AAP in Punjab for fielding three ''borrowed'' leaders in the Lok Sabha elections. The leader of opposition in the Punjab Assembly also slammed AAP for its ''failure'' to field a woman candidate. Bajwa alleged in a statement, ''It is as absurd as it sounds that AAP has been in active politics for the past more than 10 years. However, it could not develop its party cadre at the ground level. The sole reason why AAP could not develop the base is that the people of Punjab still do not trust the party.'' The Congress leader said AAP has fielded three ''borrowed'' candidates -- former Congress leaders Raj Kumar Chabbewal from Hoshiarpur and Gurpreet Singh GP from Fatehgarh Sahib, and Pawan Kumar Tinu, who was earlier with the Shiromani Akali Dal, from Jalandhar. Bajwa also pointed to AAP fielding ministers and MLAs on other seats. It is highly unfortunate for AAP as it did not give representation to women in the Lok Sabha elections, he said. ''The party that often talks about women empowerment and equality could not even find a single woman candidate. Earlier, the party did not give representation to women in the Rajya Sabha,'' Bajwa added. ''If we look a decade back at the Lok Sabha elections of 2014, AAP lost most of its candidates, leaders and even MPs. Leaders like Harinder Singh Khalsa, Sucha Singh Chhotepur, Harvinder Singh Phoolka, Dharamvira Gandhi, Baldeep Singh, and many others have snapped their ties with AAP,'' he said. Polling for Punjab's 13 Lok Sabha seats will be held on June 1.

Welfare for All, Privileges for None: Congress's Commitment to Social Justice
Welfare for All, Privileges for None: Congress's Commitment to Social Justice Congress candidate from Chandigarh parliamentary constituency Manish Tewari on Saturday said that unlike the Bharatiya Janata Party, his party believes in mass welfare and not privileges for a select few. ''Public welfare was and will always remain our topmost priority and preference irrespective of what our opponents say about it,'' Tewari asserted during an interaction with the people while campaigning in the Union Territory. Accompanied by several Congress leaders and workers, including Chandigarh Congress president HS Lucky, Tewari toured various parts of the city and talked to the people about the problems they are facing. Tewari, the sitting MP from Anandpur Sahib constituency in Punjab, pointed out that the Congress poll manifesto, named 'Nyay Patra,' is a manifesto designed for the masses of the country with its ''five commandments for justice.'' Tewari said that during the last ten years the BJP created a ''select and privileged group of crony capitalists,'' while the Congress guarantees justice to the youth, farmers, women, and workers. The former Union minister claimed that the unemployment in the county at present is the highest in 45 years. He also wondered what happened to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's promise of creating 2 crore jobs every year. ''By that count, there should have been twenty crore jobs generated by now,'' Tewari said. Instead, he said, the government ''failed'' to fill 30 lakh vacancies pending across government departments. The politician, who is a lawyer by profession, said his party will give Rs 1 lakh to one woman per family to bring that family out of poverty. The Congress has done it in the past with the Food Security Act and the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), which revolutionised rural employment, he said. Tewari claimed that even after last year's victories in Karnataka and Telangana, the Congress fulfilled all its guarantees, directly benefiting the common people and not just a privileged few. Polling for the lone Chandigarh seat will take place on June 1.

Producer Anand Pandit to foray into Punjabi film industry
The veteran producer, who has backed numerous successful films in Hindi and regional languages including Gujarati, Marathi, and Kannada, is now entering Punjabi cinema After backing many successful films in seven Indian languages, producer Anand Pandit is now turning his attention to Punjabi cinema. The veteran producer's inaugural Punjabi movie is expected to be announced shortly. This move will also mark the expansion of Anand Pandit Motion Pictures' portfolio to include another regional language of India, aligning with the growing global demand for such content. I always like to explore movies in regional languages, especially following the COVID-19 outbreak, where local content has gained global prominence. There is an increasing demand for regional content among movie enthusiasts worldwide. We have already supported films in various languages, including Gujarati, Marathi, and South Indian languages such as Kannada. Punjabi cinema is now transforming into a major regional market that is enjoying wide popularity. We are confident that we can produce a film that will connect with the growing enthusiasm of Punjabi movie lovers, says Mr Pandit. He believes that another attraction that the regional industries offer is authentic storytelling, which will help in creating original content that reflect the nativity and uniqueness of each region. Regional films are new verticals for us. They allow us to explore different genres and a variety of stories. We have seen many Hindi films recently inspired by regional cinema and remade. The content is strong and unique with Universal appeal, making regional films more attractive irrespective of the language, he adds.

Sikh community leaders join BJP, signaling growing support for the party A large number of Sikhs, including members of the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee, joined the BJP on Saturday. Citing a host of measures taken by the government to help the minority community, BJP chief JP Nadda on the occasion said if anybody has really worked for the community, it is Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The party said in a statement that more than 1,000 Sikhs joined the BJP. Nadda also cited central government decisions such as opening of the Kartarpur Sahib corridor, FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act) registration for donations to the Golden Temple, and action against the accused in the 1984 anti-Sikh riot cases. While other parties have made promises and offered inducements to gain support from the Sikh community, it is Modi who has truly worked for their welfare, he said. Nadda added the BJP regarded highly the contribution and sacrifices of the community for the country and will keep working for its welfare. The BJP has actively promoted the unity, integrity and security of the nation, with the Sikh community playing a crucial role in these efforts, he said. The BJP has been on an overdrive to deepen its bond with Sikhs and is looking to put up a strong fight in the Lok Sabha elections in Punjab, where it is in a majority. A number of well-known Sikh politicians from the state have recently joined the party.
Supreme Court Issues Notice on Plea for MSP Fixation for Alternative Crops
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday issued notices to the Centre, Punjab, and Haryana governments in response to a plea seeking the fixation of minimum support price (MSP) for alternative crops grown by farmers. The plea also seeks periodic increases in MSP and government procurement of these crops. A bench comprising Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan directed the Centre, along with the States of Punjab and Haryana, pollution control boards, agricultural universities, and ICAR to respond to the petition filed by advocate Charanpal Singh Bagri.The bench scheduled the matter for hearing in the second week of July. The petition argues for setting MSP for alternative crops higher than the MSP for paddy. Bagri highlighted the challenges faced by farmers in Punjab and Haryana due to the current focus on wheat and paddy, which have government-set MSPs and are procured by the government.He pointed out that the cultivation of paddy primarily leads to the rapid depletion of underground drinking water, air pollution due to stubble burning, and financial burdens on the State for storing excess paddy during the season. Bagri emphasized the need for providing farmers with new crop options suitable for their geographical location and soil quality, along with fixing MSPs for each crop.The petition also called for agricultural universities to introduce new varieties of seeds for pulses and other crops imported from foreign countries.Bagri suggested that the MSPs should be set at higher rates, and farmers should be required to use a limited quantity of pesticides to produce organic crops.The absence of MSPs and government procurement, Bagri argued, has led to a dire situation for farmers, many of whom feel compelled to resort to suicide.

(Representational image) New Delhi: The Delhi police arrested a woman for allegedly duping around 150 people from India and Nepal for over Rs 4 crore under the pretext of providing jobs abroad, officials said on Saturday. Police said the Economic Offences Wing registered a case last month and launched a probe into the matter. We have received several complaints from all over India including Delhi, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Tamil Nadu, followed by another 29 complaints from residents of Nepal, alleging fraudulent activities orchestrated by a woman, Deputy Commissioner of Police (EOW) Vikram K Porwal said. The accused, kingpin of the gang, was arrested on Thursday from her residence in Zirakpur in Punjab, police said. During the investigation, we learned that the accused would open her office in posh areas to win the victims' trust. She had previously opened offices in areas like Crown Heights in Rohini. One of the offices was in Sector 17 in Chandigarh, the DCP said. The accused told the police that she would initially charge the victims Rs 6,000 and gradually ask them to shell out an amount up to Rs 5 lakh, he said. According to police, the accused and her associates also ran a website and promoted their fraudulent firm on social media. After collecting huge amounts at one place, they abruptly shut down the office and absconded, and later opened an office in another city with a new name of the firm, new website and contact numbers. She also used to hire new telecallers, the DCP said. The police recovered two laptops, over 10 mobile phones, and three passports and other incriminating documents, he said. The woman is from Rajasthan and pursued her undergraduate studies in Arts at Rajasthan University before commencing her career as a telecaller, he said. The accused is in police custody. We are interrogating her about other associates, said the DCP

AAP's Chabbewal hopes Mann government's performance will pave path to victory in Hoshiarpur
AAP's Chabbewal hopes Mann government's performance will pave path to victory in Hoshiarpur The AAP's Raj Kumar Chabbewal is banking on the Bhagwant Mann government's schemes, especially providing free electricity and setting up aam aadmi clinics, to win the Hoshiarpur Lok Sabha seat. A radiologist by profession, the former two-time MLA is contesting the parliamentary polls on an AAP ticket from Hoshiarpur, currently represented by the BJP's Som Parkash. Chabbewal last month quit the Congress and joined AAP. The 54-year-old also resigned as MLA from the Chabbewal constituency in Hoshiarpur district. He was the deputy leader of opposition in the Punjab Assembly when he quit. Chabbewal first became an MLA from the Chabbewal assembly segment in 2017 and retained the seat in the 2022 polls. He had unsuccessfully contested the Lok Sabha elections from Hoshiarpur in 2019, losing to Parkash by a margin of more than 48,000 votes. ''People are quite happy about the work done by the AAP government in the past two years. With zero electricity bills (300 units of free electricity per month in the domestic category), people are getting relief of Rs 4,000 to 5,000 per month,'' he told PTI. People's financial burden has also been lowered following the opening of aam aadmi clinics, where they get free treatment and medicines, he said. The state government has also shut several toll plazas, bringing relief to commuters, the AAP leader added. Many steps have been taken to generate employment and around 43,000 government jobs provided in the past two years. The state government is also focusing on the education sector, he claimed. Speaking on the farming community, Chabbewal said farmers are getting adequate water for irrigation. Joining AAP in the presence of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Chabbewal had said that he was impressed with the state government's ''pro-people'' policies, especially for the poor and the weaker sections. ''I am taking the work done by the Mann government to the people and seeking their votes,'' he told PTI. Asked about the rival political parties in Hoshiarpur, Chabbewal said he doesn't see any competition. The people of Punjab are ''upset'' with the BJP, he said, referring to the ongoing farmers' agitation, and accused the Centre of not agreeing to their demand of a legal guarantee on minimum support price for all crops. The farmers were not allowed to head towards Delhi in support of their demands, Chabbewal said. He also alleged there is ''indiscipline and factionalism'' in the Congress' Punjab unit and claimed ''infighting'' has ''demoralised'' party workers. The Shiromani Akali Dal, on the other hand, is facing a fight for ''survival'', Chabbewal claimed. The AAP candidate also shared his roadmap for Hoshiarpur. Chabbewal said he will prioritise setting up a government hospital and medical college. A satellite centre of the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research will also be brought to Hoshiarpur. The AAP candidate said he will make efforts to bring a rail coach factory to the constituency to boost employment and also work to upgrade the Panjab University's regional campus. He stressed on the need for a rail link between Tanda and Hoshiarpur and four-laning of the roads between Hoshiarpur and Garhshankar, and Garhshankar and Dasuya to boost economic activity. He also intends to boost tourism in Hoshiarpur, a sub-mountainous area. Chabbewal is contesting from Hoshiarpur against the BJP's Anita Som Parkash, the wife of incumbent MP Parkash, and the Congress' Yamini Gomar. The Shiromani Akali Dal has fielded former minister Sohan Singh Thandal. Polling for Punjab's 13 Lok Sabha seats will be held on June 1.

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has made a grand entrance in Kolkata, flanked by heavy security measures, ahead of the Kolkata Knight Riders' highly anticipated match against the Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Scheduled to take place at the iconic Eden Gardens on Friday evening, the match is already buzzing with excitement. As the co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, Shah Rukh Khan's presence always adds fervor to the atmosphere. Sporting an oversized black T-shirt, paired with black pants and his trademark bun hairstyle, Shah Rukh Khan effortlessly upped the style quotient upon arrival. Videos of the actor from the airport went viral. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is set to appear in a film alongside Suhana Khan. Sujoy Ghosh will direct the flick King, with Siddharth Anand managing the action. According to reports, the father-daughter combo will shoot the film in London. According to a story posted online by Boxoffice Worldwide, the team intends to film heavy action scenes in London. The film's shoot will begin as early as June. The portal also revealed that their production crew has ambitious plans, with a focus on recording high-octane action scenes that would be a big component of the tale. King is expected to give a 'thrilling cinematic experience, complete with a high-octane chase scenario.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) This announcement comes just after various sources indicated that SRK would portray a grey-skinned figure similar to Don. Suhana Khan, on the other hand, is receiving extensive training in order to carry out the film's action parts. According to reports, Gauri Khan and Siddharth Anand are producing the film, which has a budget of more than Rs 200 crore. At the time of writing, News18 was unable to corroborate the accusations. Earlier, according to a report in Pinkvilla, it was revealed that Siddharth Anand and Sujoy Ghosh have been constantly in touch with Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan with multiple meetings from October 2023 to February 2024. Sujoy is meticulously working on the script with Sid and SRK. Designing world-class action sequences rests fully on Siddharth. Speaking about the films plot, a source added, The flavour of action in King will be very different from what SRK has done in Pathaan and Jawan. This one would be sleek, with a lot of chase sequences. However, the core plot is emotional and driven by the story. It has lots of twists and turns, which is the reason why Sujoy has been bestowed with the responsibility of direction. Also Read : Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan nominated for Taurus World Stunt Awards

Jonny Bairstow slams second-fastest century for Punjab Kings in IPL history
Jonny Bairstow slams second-fastest century for Punjab Kings in IPL history Punjab Kings (PBKS) batter Jonny Bairstow scored the joint second-fastest century for his franchise on Friday. The English batter accomplished this feat during his side's Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens. During the match, the vintage, hard-hitting Bairstow made his return after a lull in the first half of the tournament, scoring 108* in 48 balls, with eight fours and nine sixes. His runs came at a strike rate of 225.00. Bairstow reached his century in just 45 balls, tying with Indian batter Mayank Agarwal's 45-ball ton against Rajasthan Royals at Sharjah in 2020. South African batter David Miller's 38-ball century against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) back in 2013 at Mohali remains the fastest for the franchise. That century helped PBKS chase down 191 runs successfully with two overs to spare. Wriddhiman Saha also scored a 49-ball hundred against KKR in the 2014 IPL final in a losing effort. Coming to the match, Punjab sent Kolkata to bat first after winning the toss. Following this, Sunil Narine (71 in 32 balls, with nine fours and four sixes) and Philip Salt (75 in 37 balls, with six sixes) delighted the Eden Gardens crowd with an exhilarating batting display and obliterated Punjab Kings (PBKS) bowlers to power KKR to 261/6 in 20 overs. Arshdeep Singh led the PBKS bowling unit after he picked up two wickets. During the run chase, Jonny Bairstow (108), Prabhsimran Singh (54 in 20 balls, with four boundaries and five sixes) and Shashank Singh (68* in 28 balls, with two fours and eight sixes) played an unbeaten knock to chase down the massive target with eight balls to spare and script history. Narine was the only wicket-taker for the KKR. Bairstow took home the 'Player of the Match' award. Out of eight matches, KKR has registered five victories, collecting 10 points in the IPL 2024 standings, staying at the number 2 position. Meanwhile, Punjab holds the eighth place with six points after winning three of nine games. (ANI)

Shashank: ''My Focus Was to Keep Game Going Long, Identify Bowlers to Target''
Shashank: ''My Focus Was to Keep Game Going Long, Identify Bowlers to Target'' Shashank Singh said his ability to pick the bowlers and take the game deep helped him produce the blistering unbeaten 68 off 28 balls, which played a big role in Punjab Kings' record-breaking eight-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL. When Shashank entered the field, PBKS needed 84 runs in 7.3 overs to overhaul KKR's daunting 261 for six. Jonny Bairstow, the eventual centurion, was then batting at the other end on 93 off 39 balls. However, Shashank did not bat an eyelid while knocking off 68 runs (2x4, 8x6) in that period as Bairstow added just 15 off nine balls during their third wicket alliance, which saw Punjab raising the bar for the highest run chase in T20s. Before this, in the pre-camp and in the domestic matches, I was batting to make sure I could take the game as deep as possible. I knew I'd be batting around 5-7 in the IPL, so I have been planning on how to take my innings deep, said Shashank on JioCinema. But there was a lot of cricketing smarts too in his innings as Shashank left alone KKR spinner Sunil Narine while focussing on other bowlers to collect his runs. I know that Sunil Narine is a world-class bowler, so I knew there was no point in over-attacking him. He's someone to hit singles, doubles, or nudge the ball towards the boundary. There were other bowlers to target, so my aim was to take it deep and pick my bowlers to target, he said. In fact, Shashank faced seven balls out of 28 from Narine and scored just three runs, while putting other bowlers through the wringer, making the remaining 65 off 21 balls. The 32-year-old said his own experience and talks with his father and coaches at PBKS helped him in his journey. If we talk about smartness, it's coming with experience. Secondly, I spend a lot of time discussing cricket with my father. Last time when I got out too quickly, my dad told me that I should've played further back because it was a slow wicket. I have these conversations with my father at home and the world-class coaches who are here. I enjoy asking questions and understanding what they do. I think if I take clues from them, it'll improve my cricket, he added.

After openers Phil Salt and Sunil Narine slammed rollicking half-centuries while sharing an opening partnership of 138 runs in 10.2 overs to propel KKR to a mammoth 261/6, Prabhsimran Singh laid the foundation with a quick fifty, before Bairstow and Shashank dished out sensational knocks as PBKS now own the record for highest successful chase in T20 history. Yeah, it had to be the perfect run chase and it was, said Hyaden on Star Sports Cricket Live. I mean inside that power play they were extraordinary. They absolutely roasted anyone that came across them apart from Narine. It was a beacon of hope for just cutting short this enormous run chase. But reality is these batters are getting so good at hitting balls. It is a batting thon this IPL. And we are seeing some extraordinary scenes. Tonight who would have ever thought that we were going to witness something as grand as what we saw here. From Jonny Bairstow who hasn't been at this tournament of any kind of note this IPL, and he has arrived with a terrific hundred. Riding on the back of Jonny Bairstows unbeaten 108 and Shashank Singhs unbeaten 68, Kings' chased down the the biggest total of T20 history on Friday. The stage was set at the iconic Eden Gardens, where Punjab Kings embarked on an audacious chase of 262 runs. Jonny Bairstow, returning to the Kings' lineup after a stint on the sidelines, took center stage with a breathtaking display batting as he bludgeoned an unbeaten 108 off just 48 deliveries. Shashank Singh thrust into the spotlight at No. 4, embraced the challenge with gusto, smashing an unbeaten 68 off 28 balls to cement his status as one of the season's standout performers. Friday's fixture also produced the most sixes (42) in a T20 match. It surpassed the 38 hits by Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians in Hyderabad last month and by Royal Challengers Bengaluru and SRH in Bengaluru last week. One of the great things that Jonny Bairstow said there is that it was an important way that we had to start. I mean we were working out before that his first game in T20 cricket was back in 2010. And he also had mentioned as well that the calmness at the crease. To be calm when you know you've got to break a record. In the history of IPL cricket, to win and still to have that presence. They're almost like forces batters into an absolute no-loss situation. They just go out with clarity. With definition. And they just have to do it. That calmness is such a unique element under pressure. And we've seen that delivered a few times, haven't we, this IPL. So we're seeing something very special here. And we have all these great conversations in the green room here as we're waiting. And our four bowlers, they've got the brunt of why it is under pressure they're not executing this IPL like we've seen, he added.

Sharif's Return Sparks Leadership Debate in Embattled PML-N
Sharif's Return Sparks Leadership Debate in Embattled PML-N Pakistan's three-time former prime minister Nawaz Sharif is all set to retake the helm of the ruling PML-N next month to guide the party amid internal strife, seven years after he relinquished the post after being disqualified by the apex court. Nawaz, 74, will be elected president of the ruling party on May 11 in a meeting of the party leadership, a senior Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader told PTI. In 2017, the Supreme Court of Pakistan disqualified Nawaz as premier and party president for his alleged corruption in cases related to the Panama Papers revelations about his illegal wealth stashed abroad. He relinquished his position within the party following his disqualification, which also led to his departure from the prime minister's office. PML-N Punjab president Rana Sanaullah told a press conference that a decision to make Nawaz the president of the party again was taken at a party meeting on Friday. A resolution was passed at the party meeting today to make the elder Sharif PML-N president to undo the injustice meted out to him (Nawaz) in 2017 by the Supreme Court, Sanaullah, a former interior minister, said. The party will request Nawaz on his return from China to accept the president's office of the party. Nawaz is currently on a five-day private visit to China. Nawaz Sharif was removed from the party president's office through a conspiracy. Now Nawaz has been acquitted in all (corruption) cases, he should again take up the partys reins, Sanaullah said and added the party would be re-organised under his (Nawaz's) leadership. Sanaullah's announcement comes amidst internal tensions within the ruling party in Punjab and at the federal level, The Express Tribune newspaper said. Several prominent figures within the party, including Sanaullah, portfolio-less Federal Minister Javed Latif, Senator Javed Abbasi, and former Senator Asif Saeed Kirmani, have publicly criticised the leadership. Their remarks have ranged from questioning cabinet formations to expressing disillusionment with the party's alignment with the establishment, straying from its ''vote ko izzat do'' (respect the vote) slogan. The airing of these grievances has tarnished the party's reputation as a proponent of democracy. Following his return to Pakistan after a four-year self-exile in London in October last year, Nawaz got a clean chit in mega corruption cases allegedly with the blessings of the powerful military establishment. He was all set to become prime minister for the fourth time but his party failed to get a clear majority in the National Assembly on its own in the February 8 general elections. Nawaz then allowed his younger brother and the incumbent party president Shehbaz Sharif -- who is considered the favourite of the military establishment -- to lead a six-party coalition government at the Centre.
IPL 2024: We Planned To Cash In The Powerplay,' Says PBKS Prabhsimran Singh After World Record Win
Head Coach Trevor Bayliss: Punjab Kings won against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens, chasing down a mammoth total of 262 with 8 wickets in hand. It was the highest successful run chase in T20 history that earned the Kings their third win of the season and the crucial two points Opener Prabhsimran Singh, who came on as the impact substitute, hammered 54 runs off 20 balls to give his side a blistering start in the run chase. Speaking after the match, Prabhsimran said there was always belief in the team to get the win. No matter how big the score is, the team chasing always thinks that they want to chase down the total. We planned to just cash in the powerplay and we did that. We are happy to complete the chase and win those crucial two points, said Prabhsimran Singh after the match. The right-handed batter also went on to reveal the masterful advice from Head Coach Trevor Bayliss in the dressing room that helped his side during the run chase. There was a belief in everyone that if we conceded so many runs, then we could easily chase it. Coach Bayliss told us that we do not have to take the pressure of chasing the total, and asked us to bat like our normal selves. We needed to dominate and we were able to do that and get the win. Opener Jonny Bairstow, who came back into the playing squad, brought the goods on the night, smashing an unbeaten 108 off 48 balls. With 8 fours and 9 sixes, and a strike rate of 225, Bairstow's blitzkrieg helped the Kings achieve a target that at one point seemed impossible. Jonny Bairstow is one of the biggest players in the world. He also plays Test cricket and has been delivering for his country for so many years across formats. Everyone knows what he is capable of. In cricket, you can come out of form with just one match. He scored a hundred today and played a crucial knock, Prabhsimran said. The 23-year-old also added that there was no dew factor on the surface during the second innings, but the team was helped in the chase by a clarity of thought on what they needed to do. It was a batting surface. Our minds were clear and we knew what we had to do. There was no dew factor on the surface. But the clarity of minds helped us, he said. Meanwhile, the in-form middle-order batter Shashank Singh, was promoted up to bat at no. 4 on Friday, and he justified the decision with an unbeaten knock of 68 in 28 balls. With two fours and 8 sixes and a strike rate of 242.86, Shashank brought the firepower and stayed till the end to help his side complete the chase with 8 balls to spare. Speaking on the result, Shashank said, When I was in the dug-out, I was just watching the behaviour of the pitch, and I felt it was coming on nicely with good bounce. I just backed myself to hit the other bowlers, while I was happy to take the singles and doubles off Sunil Narine. We planned to play him out, the right-handed batter said. We still have 5 matches to go, we'll take it one match at a time and I believe that we can still qualify for the playoffs, Shashank signed off. Punjab Kings will next face off against Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday.
CHENNAI: On a night where batters made mockery of the boundary ropes and T20 chases, Punjab Kings came out smiling in the City of Joy as they beat Kolkata Knight Riders by eight wickets at the Eden Gardens. When KKR posted 261/6 in 20 overs, they would have thought they have a better chance, but 18.4 overs later, Kings registered the highest chase ever in the shortest format. The cherry on the top was the 42 sixes hit in the match, the most in any T20. With the record chase (262) at the Eden Gardens at stake, Punjab came all guns blazing as impact player Prabhsimran Singh smashed an 18-ball fifty, that too inside the powerplay. His opening partner Jonny Bairstow hit 24 runs in the final over of the powerplay by Anukul Roy to take Punjab to 93 after six overs. Punjab lost Singh, but nothing could stop Bairstow who went on to hit a 45-ball century and kept Punjab in the chase. From thereon, Shashank Singh (68 n.o off 28 balls) and Bairstow (108 n.o off 48) took the team home in the penultimate over. Bairstow's unbeaten century leads Punjab to highest run chase in IPL history Earlier, Punjab won the toss and opted to bowl first. Punjab captain Sam Curran started well and offered only seven runs from his first over, but the opening duo for Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunil Narine, and Phil Salt recovered well to make it to 76 off the powerplay. The introduction of spin via Rahul Chahar slowed down the duo, but they took 22 runs in Kasigo Rabadas next over to make up for it. The opening juggernaut continued as Kolkata reached 137 at the halfway mark with Narine completing a half-century off 23 balls and Salt joining him, with his own half-ton off 25 balls. In the 11th over Chahar broke the partnership with the wicket of Naine. Salt smashed two back-to-back sixes off Curran, but lost his wicket. Andre Russell flexed his muscles as Kolkata posted 261/6. Brief scores: KKR 261/6 in 20 ovs (Salt 75, Narine 71) lost to PBKS 262/2 in 18.4 ovs (Bairstow 108 n.o, Shashank 68 n.o, Prabhsimran 54).

Sift chasing her dreams, one win at a time
CHENNAI: When it comes to competition, the sport of shooting in India is as cutthroat as it can be. Ask the bunch who are currently part of the Olympic Selection Trial (OST). The margins are fine with the cream of sport vying for the all-important Olympic quotas. With the stakes as high as ever, the pressure is bound to be immense. All 37 rifle and pistol shooters, who are part of the trials, have mostly abandoned their daily comforts to come this far. It's a very relatable narrative where families from regular households aspire to reach for the stars. Sift Kaur Samra is one of them. Having put aside her MBBS aspirations, the sport is a massive gamble that Sift and her family have opted for. One of the gifted shooters contending for an Olympic quota in the women's 50m rifle 3 positions, Sift's rise was an organic one. With her habit of winning medals and putting up some notable scores, Sift has demonstrated in the last year or so that she has the potential to challenge for a medal in the quadrennial event. And she has lived up to her billing in the OST so far. On Friday, she finished on top for the second time within three days (OST 1 and OST 2 trials finals) and now is in a position of strength ahead of the remaining two trials, which is scheduled to be held in Bhopal from May 10 to 19. Sift's father Pawandeep Singh, who was at the Dr Karni Singh Shooting Range in New Delhi, during the trials is satisfied with the outcome. But he knows the job is far from complete. It's still not over. She has done well so far but anything can happen in the remaining two trials in Bhopal, Pawandeep noted. We have seen some high scores as well. So, let's see how it goes. His assessment is spot on as fortunes can change in no time. Moreover, there are two more shooters who have a fair chance alongside Sift to make a case for Olympic quotas (two quotas available). Ashi Chouksey, who shot an impressive 590 in the qualification stage of T1, and Anjum Moudgil are also within range. This is a fairly new territory for Sift, who hails from Punjab. Ashi Chouksey comes from the famed MP State Shooting Academy while Anjum Moudgil has years of experience and is an Olympian. What drives the Sift family is the fact that they have invested everything in the shooter (not that it is any less for other shooters). Having made the difficult choice of sacrificing sport for studies, that has handed them the natural boost to go that extra mile (look for extra details to navigate the visible disadvantages). Pawandeep is just looking to ensure that he's there beside her, be the ideal support cast and keep her away from all the disturbances. This (shooting) is huge for us. As you know, she chose this over her studies. And the sport is not huge here in Punjab. If this doesn't work, then I'll never encourage anyone to take up the sport, Pawandeep, who's into business in Faridkot, said. I just try to be there as this sport is really competitive. All her coaches have been really supportive and she is someone who tends to get along with everyone well. That also helps, he added. Come May, Sift will be hoping to add to her belief during the remaining two trials in Bhopal and get one step closer to her Olympic aspirations.

We can still qualify to the playoffs: PBKS allrounder Shashank after sealing 8-wicket win over KKR
We can still qualify to the playoffs: PBKS allrounder Shashank after sealing 8-wicket win over KKR Punjab Kings (PBKS) batting allrounder Shashank Singh said his side can still qualify for the playoffs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 after beating Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by eight wickets at the Eden Gardens.

While speaking at the post-match presentation, Shashank said he watched the behaviour of the pitch at the Eden Gardens when he was in the dug-out on Friday. The 32-year-old added that he planned to hit other KKR bowlers and take singles and doubles against Sunil Narine. When I was in the dug-out, I was just watching the behaviour of the pitch, felt it was coming on nicely with good bounce. Just backed myself to hit the other bowlers, was happy to take the singles and doubles off Narine, we wanted to play him out, Shashank said. He further added that Jonny Bairstow supported him from the other end which was a big positive while batting. A big positive when Jonny (Bairstow) supports you (from the other end), he has played 100 Test matches and to see him clap for you, you'll feel happy and vindicated. We still have 5 matches to go, we'll take it one match at a time and I believe that we can still qualify to the playoffs, he added. Recapping the match, Punjab sent Kolkata to bat first after winning the toss. Following this, Sunil Narine (71) and Philip Salt (75) delighted the Eden Gardens crowd with an exhilarating batting display and obliterated Punjab Kings (PBKS) bowlers to power KKR to 261/6 in 20 overs. Arshdeep Singh led the PBKS bowling unit after he picked up two wickets. During the run chase, Jonny Bairstow (108) and Shashank Singh (68) played an unbeaten knock to chase down the massive target and script history. Narine was the only wicket-taker for the KKR. (ANI)

Sunita Kejriwal to hold roadshow in East Delhi today
NEW DELHI: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwals wife, Sunita Kejriwal, will kick off her election campaigning for the AAP with a mega roadshow in the East Delhi Lok Sabha constituency on Saturday, as per the party. It would be followed by another roadshow in West Delhi on Sunday when she will seek votes and blessings of the people for her husband. According to minister Atishi, Kejriwals campaign will extend beyond Delhi to Punjab, Gujarat, and Haryana. The BJPs attempt to arrest Kejriwal has backfired, as people nationwide are rallying in his support and are poised to respond with votes, she added. She underscored that the people of Delhi, Punjab, and the entire country stand with Arvind Kejriwal, and their support will translate into votes for AAP. Immediately after the imposition of the model code of conduct, the BJP-ruled central government and its political weapon, ED, arrested the Chief Minister of Delhi, Atishi said. I want to tell BJP that their gamble has backfired completely. Whether it is Delhi-Punjab or the rest of the country, the common people are protesting against the arrest of Kejriwal, protesting against the dictatorship of PM Narendra Modi, protesting against this attack on democracy. The people are unanimously saying that they will answer the arrest of Kejriwal with their votes, the senior AAP leader said. Atishi said in protest against the chief ministers arrest, his wife Sunita Kejriwal, will campaign to seek blessings for Kejriwal and vote for party candidates. She said, Sunita Kejriwal will start campaigning from East Delhi tomorrow by holding a roadshow.
