Smith praises Samson, Rahul's performance, hinting at WC inclusion
Smith praises Samson, Rahul's performance, hinting at WC inclusion The classy fifties made by Sanju Samson and KL Rahul in the IPL has intensified the race for the second wicketkeepers slot in the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup, reckoned former South African captain Graeme Smith. The Indian squad for the marquee event in June is set to be announced soon and Rishabh Pant is set to be drafted in as the first-choice wicketkeeper-batter. They (Rahul and Samson) needed to build a partnership. Rahul did it with (Deepak) Hooda and Sanju did it beautifully with Dhruv Jurel. The difference was that Sanju finished the game, while KL got out at a key phase. But it was brilliant to see both excellent players put their hands up for World Cup selection, said Smith in JioCinema. Rahul made a 48-ball 76 for Lucknow Super Giants, but Samson trumped that effort with an unbeaten 71 off 33 balls as Rajasthan Royals cruised to a seven-wicket victory. Former Australian pacer Brett Lee lauded Jurel for supporting Samson with a fine 52 not out off 34 balls during their unbroken fourth wicket stand that was worth 121 runs. Hes a quality batter. Hes got proper cricket shots. He can play all formats of the game and knows when to go through the gears as needed. His shots are classy and have the power to go towards the cow corner. He shows his class and continues to grow in stature, said the New South Welshman. The point found resonance in Smith. The run-chase looked easy. Dhruv Jurel and Sanju Samson had an incredible partnership to get them over the line. They had (Shimron) Hetmyer still to bat, so there was a lot in the tank, lots of match-winners with the bat and ball. That squad is looking very strong, said Smith.

Equine lab, research centre to come up in Bengaluru
BENGALURU: Bengalurus love with animals is not new and the list now includes its passion for horses. To protect the gene pool of equines in South India, especially Karnataka, the first laboratory and research centre for equines will be set up in Bengaluru by April-end. It will be the first such centre in South India. The National Research Centre on Equines (NRCE) is being set up by equine experts and a team from Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR). Navaneet Raj, proprietor, Equine Breeding Centre said, The centre and lab will collect and store semen samples. This will help preserve and improve the indigenous gene pool. The lab and centre will not be for racing horses, but for those used for other sports like polo. Many people in Bengaluru and other cities have horses in their farms and other places. Similar facilities are present in Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra. There, the state governments have taken the initiative to set up labs. But that is not the case in the South. Raj said he is also talking to concerned agencies in the state government to help set up the centre. An NRCE official said the Glanders disease, a contagion that afflicts horses, was tackled years ago.
NEW DELHI : The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has busted three state-of-the-art laboratories in Gujarat and Rajasthan where synthetic drugs were being manufactured, and arrested seven people involved in the drug cartel in this connection.

Kerala LS polls: UDF camp confident of clean sweep
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM : A day after voting, the Congress exuded confidence of a clean sweep in the Lok Sabha polls. Prime Minister Narendra Modis hate speech in Rajasthan and anti-Pinarayi factor worked in favour of the UDF, which had a week ago apprehensive of winning even half a dozen seats. On poll eve, Congress said there was tough contest in Thiruvananthapuram, Attingal, Thrissur, Alathur, Vadakara and Palakkad seats. UDF Thrissur candidate K Muraleedharan told reporters in Thiruvananthapuram after casting vote that the understanding between CPM and BJP was to ensure 18 seats for LDF and two for BJP. On Saturday, he told TNIE that a majority of CPM workers and loyalists did not vote in Thrissur as they were directed to endorse BJP leader Suresh Gopi. Senior Congress leader V M Sudheeran told TNIE that anti-Modi and anti-Pinarayi sentiments turned out to be crucial in favour of the UDF. The two factors have helped UDF clinch success, he said.
Amit Shah thanks Gujaratis for BJPs win in Surat
AHMEDABAD : Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Saturday that the BJP has secured its first victory in the Lok Sabha elections from the Surat constituency even before the counting of votes, attributing it to the foresightedness of the people of Gujarat. In 2014 and 2019, the wonderful people of Gujarat endorsed Narendra Modis leadership by giving all 26 Lok Sabha seats to the BJP. This time taking it a step further, even before the counting, people have ensured that the account has already been opened in Surat... Now, a hat-trick awaits in the remaining 25 seats, and representatives in the name of Narendra Modi will be sent to Parliament, Shah said at an election rally at Jamkandorna in Rajkot district. BJPs Surat nominee Mukesh Dalal was elected unopposed after Congress candidate Nilesh Kumbhanis nomination was rejected for allegedly forging the signatures of his proposers, and others withdrew from the fray. Shah expressed the confidence that the BJP is leading in the seats that went to polls in two phases on April 19 and 26. Two phases have been completed. Do you want to know the results? Will you keep it a secret? Do not tell it to anyone After two phases, it is now clear that Rahul Gandhi is finished. From east to west and north to south, there is only one resounding soundthat of Modi, Modi, Modi. The whole country has decided to make Narendra Modi Prime Minister for the third term, Shah said while campaigning for BJP candidate Mansukh Mandaviya in Porbandar constituency. Taking a jibe at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, the BJP leader said, Congress president Kharge says, what have people of Gujarat and Rajasthan got to do with Kashmir. I want to tell him, Kharge saheb, you are over 80 years old, but you still havent grasped the essence of our nation. Every youth in Jamkandorna is prepared to sacrifice their lives for Kashmir... You tell me, shouldnt Article 370 have been abrogated? Shah criticised the Congress for deviating from the Ram mandir issue during its 70 years of governance, attributing it to vote bank politics. He said, For over 500 years, our Lord Ram remained confined to a tent in an unknown area. Modiji, after 500 years, restored the pride of Lord Ram by constructing a magnificent Ram mandir. Lauding the economic achievements of the BJP government, the Union minister said, Congress had left the country in the 11th position among the world economies. It is Modiji who has elevated it to number 5. I guarantee you that if you elect Modi as PM for the third time, he will propel the country to become the worlds third-largest economy.

Delhi edges Mumbai to keep IPL playoff hopes alive while Samson powers Rajasthan to win
NEW DELHI (AP) Heavy hitting from Jake Fraser-McGurk and Tristan Stubbs helped Delhi Capitals hold off Mumbai Indians by 10 runs in a high-scoring Indian Premier League game on Saturday. In the second game of the day, Sanju Samson powered league leaders the Rajasthan Royals to a seven-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants. Fraser-McGurk lashed 84 runs off only 27 balls and Stubbs contributed an unbeaten 48 off 25 as Delhi amassed 257-4 in 20 overs. Tilak Varma led Mumbais reply with 63 off 32 but the visitors fell short at 247-9. Delhi moved to fifth place, just outside the top four on net run-rate. Mumbai was ninth after its sixth loss in nine games. Put into bat, Delhi made a fiery start. The openers smashed 114 runs off only 45 balls. Beside Fraser-McGurk, Abishek Porel scored 36. The power play yielded 92-0 as Fraser-McGurk reached 50 off only 15 balls. He took another 34 runs off the next 12 balls faced but was out with a century in sight after pulling a Piyush Chawla googly straight to deep midwicket. Fraser-McGurk excited with 11 boundaries and six sixes. Shai Hope added 41 off 17 balls, including five sixes. Delhi crossed 200 in 16.1 overs and there was enough time to launch a death overs attack. Stubbs took center stage, smacking six fours and two sixes, including 30 runs off the 18th over bowled by Luke Wood. In reply to Delhi's highest total of the season, Mumbai lost Rohit Sharma (8) and Suryakumar Yadav (26) relatively cheaply to Khaleel Ahmed. Varma revived the chase with 71 off 39 balls, and skipper Hardik Pandya scored 46 off 24 balls, hitting three sixes. Varma hit four sixes and another four fours. Pandya was out caught in the 13th over and Varma pushed on further. Tim David provided late sparks with 37 off 17 as Mumbai crossed 200 in 17.1 overs. But the target proved too high. In Lucknow, visiting skipper Sanju Samson smashed 71 not out off 33 balls to help Rajasthan chase down the Super Giants 196-5 with an over to spare. Samsons fourth half-century of the season led Rajasthan to 199-3. Dhruv Jurel contributed an unbeaten 52 off 34 balls. Rajasthan got a speedy start from in-form openers Yashasvi Jaiswal (34) and Jos Buttler (24), who shared 60 off 35 balls. But they fell in a span of three deliveries at the power plays end. Samson then anchored the innings intelligently, and with Jurel for company they powered the chase towards victory. They combined for 121 runs off 62 balls, hitting six sixes and 12 boundaries. Four of those sixes were Samson's, sending a reminder to the India selectors ahead of the T20 World Cup in June. Earlier, Lucknow skipper Lokesh Rahul scored 76 off 48 balls to rescue them from 11-2 in two overs. They put up a par-plus 196-5 total. Deepak Hooda chipped in 50 off 31 balls, adding 115 off 62 balls with Rahul. Rajasthan opened a six-point gap to the chasing pack. Lucknow stayed fourth.
IPL 2024: Samson's 71 Not Out Tops Rahul's 76 As Rajasthan Royals Beat LSG By Seven Wickets (Ld)
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Skipper Sanju Samson did a world of good for his chances ahead of the T20 World Cup team selection by hammering a 33-ball unbeaten 71 and overshadowing a similar effort by Lucknow Super Giants captain K.L Rahul (76 off 48 balls) as Rajasthan Royals romped to a seven-wicket victory in Match 44 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Saturday. Samson, who struck his fourth half-century of IPL 2024 off 28 balls, shared an unbeaten 121-run partnership with Dhruv Jurel, who scored his maiden IPL half-century as Rajasthan Royals cruised to 199/3 in 19 overs in response to Lucknow Super Giants' 196/5 made possible by Rahuls superb innings and his 115-run partnership with Deepak Hooda (50). Samson, who had scores of 82*, 69, 68* before Saturday's superb knock, blasted seven boundaries and four sixes in another brilliant innings to help Rajasthan Royals recover from two quick wickets and with help from Jurel, who scored 52 not out off 34 balls, raised 121 runs for the fourth wicket partnership to guide RR to a comfortable victory at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium here. With this win, table toppers Rajasthan Royals moved up to 16 points from eight wins from nine matches, opening up a big six-point gap at the top of the table. LSG remained in fourth position with 10 points, the same as Kolkata Knight Riders (2nd), Sunrisers Hyderabad (3rd) and Delhi Capitals (5th). They have played nine matches while KKR and SRH have played eight matches each. DC are through with 10 matches so far. Chasing 197 for victory, Rajasthan Royals got off to a fine start with Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal raising 50 runs for the opening wicket partnership. Buttler struck 34 off 18 balls while Jaiswal managed 24 off the same number of balls. Both of them were untroubled by the LSG bowling, which lacked serious pace in the form of young tearaway Mayank Yadav, who was expected to recover from his injury and play this match. Buttler, who had blazed to an unbeaten 107 off 60 balls against KKR 10 days back, faced a couple of anxious moments against Matt Henry and Mohsin Khan, picked pace by hitting Henry for a big six, shuffling across and lapping it over the keeper. He struck a four and scored three off Henry followed by a boundary in the fifth over. He hit Yash Thakur for a four in the sixth over before the bowler returned to get revenge, castling the batter with a slower one. Jaiswal fell on the same score as RR slumped to 60/2 in the seventh over and when Riyan Parag followed him back into the dugout for 14 off 11 balls, Rajasthan Royals fell to 78/3 and the innings was looking to come apart. However, skipper Sanju Samson held the innings together and along with Dhruv Jurel raised an unbeaten 121-run partnership for the fourth wicket as Rajasthan Royals capitalised on some shoddy performance by LSG in the field. LSG grassed a couple of catches, failed to capitalise on a dreadful mix-up between Samson and Jurel to affect a runout and also misfielded on a couple of occasions. Rajasthan Royals had applied the brakes in the middle and death overs, but LSG could not do so with the ball as Sanju Samson finished the match with a flurry of shots, hitting Mohsin Khan for a big six after the bowler had failed to run him out at the non-striker's end. He followed that up with a six off the last ball of the over after he and Jurel scored a single each in between. In the 19th over, Samson hammered a four and a six off successive balls off Yash Thakur to finish the match and seal victory for RR. Samson had started slowly and waited for his chances before exploding into action. He came in at 60/1 and saw his team go down to 78/3, so his first seven shots were for singles. A four off veteran Amit Mishra was followed by a couple of boundaries against Thakur. Ravi Bishnoi was also mistreated as Samson hit him for back-to-back fours in the 16th over. A reverse-hit four off Krunal Pandya over point fielder was his best shot of the day before his power-hitting in the last couple of overs. Samson completed his half-century off 28 balls as he went after the bowling with 84 needed off 48 deliveries. Jurel was the more aggressive of the two Samson went berserk towards the end. In the 14th over, Jurel scythed, scooped and pulled Mohsin Khan for 4, 6, 4. Off the fourth ball of the over, Yash Thakur failed to time his jump and palmed the ball over at third man for a single. Jurel was dropped once again by Jurel off Mohsin Khan near the short-third region as the ball raced to the fence. Jurel completed his maiden IPL fifty with a single off Mohsin Khan, reaching the mark in 31 balls. Amit Mishra and Krunal Pandya were the best bowlers for LSG on the park on Saturday night as they fell short by a round 20 runs and then performed poorly in the field to further hamper their chances. Asked to bat first, KL Rahul blasted a 48-ball 76, reaching a cautious half-century off 31 balls, while Hooda scored a 31-ball 50 as LSG recovered from a precarious 11/2 in the second over to post a good score. LSG got off to a poor start as Quinton de Kock, after hitting back-to-back boundaries to Trent Boult in the first over, was cleaned up on the third ball by the left-handed New Zealand pacer with one that nipped back a bit and went past the opener's bat, which came down late, to crash into the stumps. Sandeep Sharma accounted for Marcus Stoinis on the last ball of the second over as the ball swung in and went past to disrupt the furniture, reducing LSG to 11/2 in two overs. However, LSG recovered well from the twin setbacks thanks to Rahul and Hooda as they raised 115 runs in quick time for the third wicket partnership. Rahul got his third half-century while Deepak Hooda got his first half-century in 19-odd matches. Rahul scooped, drove, pulled and swept superbly in an excellent rearguard knock, hitting eight fours and two sixes -- the only two sixes of the innings a far cry compared to the last couple of matches in which teams hit maximums in double figures. In contrast, RR batters hammered nine maximums. After a cautious start, Rahul opened up by hitting Boult for a four off an in-swinging yorker and was lucky to survive a ball from Ashwin that darted in, just managing to sweep it away to the boundary. The LSG captain continued to flourish, hitting back-to-back boundaries off Yuzvendra Chahal in the seventh over -- caressing a half-volley through covers and following it up with a sweep behind square and the spinner strayed to left. The 32-year-old right-handed batter hammered Avesh Khan for 21 in the eighth over, hitting his first six off the second delivery before hammering another six off a no-ball and following it up with a four off the free-hit. Just when it looked like he would reach the three-figure mark, Rahul got out as Avesh Khan got his revenge as Boult picked a simple catch at deep backward point. Hooda drove, cut, swept and used the switch-hit well to score an exact fifty, hitting Boult for boundaries off successive balls. His four off Chahal in the 12over was his best shot of the night as he hammered seven fours in his 31-ball 50. Rajasthan Royals pulled back things a bit in the death overs, conceding seven and six runs in the 18th and 19th overs before Ayush Badoni (18 not out) and Krunal Pandya (15*) scored 12 runs off the final over to ensure they reached a par score on this ground. Brief scores: Lucknow Super Giants 196/5 in 20 overs (K.L Rahul 76, Deepak Hoods 50; Sandeep Sharma 2-31) lost to Rajasthan Royals 199/3 in 19 overs (Jos Buttler 34, Sanju Samson 71 not out, Dhruv Jurel 52 not out; Amit Mishra 1-20, Marcus Stoinis 1-3) by seven wickets.

Anita Katyal | Manifesto fiasco costs Cong dear; BJP forced to lean on Chouhan
Launched with great fanfare and described as a path-breaking document, the Congress Partys election manifesto has been grabbing headlines for all the wrong reasons. The Bharatiya Janata Party has clearly studied the manifesto in great detail and come out with an aggressive strategy to corner the Congress. This is in sharp contrast to the Congress whose members have a cursory knowledge of the manifestos contents. On its part, the party has made little effort to acquaint its spokespersons and other key functionaries in the states with the details of the manifesto. Soon after it was released, the party had initially planned to hold press conferences at multiple venues across the country to explain the partys agenda to the people. But nothing came of it. Also, copies of the manifesto have not been distributed as widely as would be expected. As a result, most party functionaries are ill-equipped to rebut the charges being bandied about by the BJP regarding the Congress plans for redistribution of wealth and minority appeasement. The low voter turnout in the first phase of the general election has turned out to be a blessing in disguise for former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. He was gradually sidelined after last years Assembly election after being denied another term in office. Keen to make a mark, Mr Chouhan wanted to contest from the Chhindwara Lok Sabha constituency known to be senior Congress leader Kamal Naths stronghold. However, the party denied him the opportunity to emerge as a possible giant killer just in case he did defeat Kamal Naths son who is battling it out for a second term. Instead, Mr Chouhan was fielded from his old constituency Vidisha, a safe BJP seat which presented no challenge to him.To make matters worse, the BJP deliberately chose not to deploy him for campaigning though individual candidates did ask Mr Chouhan to address meetings in their constituencies. However, there has been a sea change after the first phase of voting. Realising that the party needs all hands on deck, the BJP has belatedly started involving Mr Chouhan in the poll campaign for the forthcoming phases. The former chief minister is once again in demand for participation in election rallies. Not just Madhya Pradesh but the low voter turnout in the first phase is also worrying the Bharatiya Janata Party in Uttar Pradesh. While this is being attributed to several factors like voter indifference, election fatigue and the heat, there are murmurs in the party that an unhappy Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath is not making sufficient efforts to mobilise voters. BJP leaders informally point to the possibility that Yogi Adityanath may be replaced, as was the case with Shivraj Singh Chouhan, if Prime Minister Narendra Modi notches up a spectacular victory in this election. Yogi has emerged as a leader in his own right and is often mentioned as a worthy successor to Mr Modi. This is obviously not acceptable in the present BJP which has room for only one leader. But for Mr Modi to achieve his goal, the BJP has to necessarily improve upon the 62 seats it won in Uttar Pradesh in 2019 for which Yogis cooperation is critical. While Yogi is said to be ambivalent, the Thakur community to which he belongs is angry as it feels it has not got its due in the selection of candidates. Well aware that he cannot afford to alienate Yogi, Mr Modi has now taken to praising the chief minister in his public rallies. The Rajasthan unit of the Congress discovered a new popular campaigner these elections. The state unit president Govind Singh Dotasra surprised everyone with his oratorical skills and ability to connect with the people in the recently-concluded poll campaign. Though Mr Dotasra is a three-time legislator and has been in the Congress for nearly three decades, not many were acquainted with this side of his personality. This was not surprising as former chief minister Ashok Gehlot has been a domineering figure in the desert state and has tended to eclipse other Congress leaders till the arrival of his younger colleague Sachin Pilot. Mr Dotasra got an opportunity to campaign extensively this time as Gehlot was preoccupied with his son Vaibhavs election from Jalore. Mr Pilot, too, concentrated on the Gujjar-dominated areas. Like Shivraj Singh Chouhan, this election also proved lucky for Mr Dotasra who turned out to be a hit with the crowds. While Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi are busy campaigning, a relaxed Sonia Gandhi was spotted last week at the Capitals India International Centre. Accompanied by Rupika Chawla, wife of the former chief election commissioner Navin Chawla, the former Congress president had dropped in to see an art exhibition. Sonia Gandhi slipped in virtually unnoticed except for a few stray members who took note of her presence. The irony is that a number of Congress functionaries were also present at the IIC at the same time but were busy gossiping over tea in the lounge. They were later fretting about how they had learnt about Sonia Gandhis visit only after she had left, the sub-text being that they lost an opportunity to register their presence with her.

The results are coming our way, so it is clear that we are doing something right,'' said Samson in the post-match presentation ceremony. Samson, who was named the Player of the Match for his unbeaten 71 off 33 balls while chasing 197, lauded his bowlers for restricting LSG under the 200-run mark. ''There was purchase with the new ball and when the ball got old, it was a nice wicket to bat on. It was a very good team effort. The guys who come in and bowl the crucial overs, that is also important. They know what to do each ball, there is a lot of planning going on behind the scenes and we are doing well. ''At the start, and at the end (we bowled well). In the middle overs, they took the game a little away from us,'' he said. Samson also praised Dhruv Jurel for his unbeaten 52 off 34 balls as the wicketkeeper-batter finally regained his form. ''Form is temporary and batting at No 5 is the toughest job in T20 cricket. A youngster like him (Jurel), he has the composure as we have seen in Tests. We believed in him, he has been batting in the nets for one or two hours and we knew it was a matter of time (before he delivered). A disappointed LSG skipper KL Rahul, meanwhile, felt his side was about 20 runs short. ''We left about 20 runs behind. We didn't get an ideal start but with the partnership between me and Hooda (115 runs) had was great. In these sorts of games, the set batter had to score close to a hundred after getting to 50-60,'' Rahul said. ''We were 150 after about 15 overs, should have capitalised on it a bit more. It is clear the team with more sixes ends up winning. We did try to hit our sixes but today we had to change our approach after those two early wickets,'' he said. ''If Hooda (had) pushed on and scored 20 (runs) more, and I got 20 (runs) more then we'd finish around 220. That would have been the difference, that's the 20 runs we left behind.'' Rahul said it is important for batters to give extra cushion to bowlers in this IPL. ''We're seeing with every game how important it is to give the bowlers that extra cushion because they are under the pump. Everyone loves range hitting and hitting it all over the park, we are no different. It is part of the prep,'' he said. ''Our big hitters are Stoin (Marcus Stoinis) and (Nicholas) Pooran who can hit those big shots. The other guys like us try to pick our areas and time the shots better,'' he added.
IPL 2024: Unbeaten Fifties By Samson, Jurel Help Rajasthan Royals Beat LSG By Seven Wickets
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Skipper Sanju Samson hammered a 33-ball unbeaten 71 and Dhruv Jurel struck his maiden IPL half-century as Rajasthan Royals defeated Lucknow Super Giants by seven wickets in Match 44 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 here on Saturday. Samson blasted seven boundaries and four sixes in another brilliant innings to help Rajasthan Royals recover from two quick wickets and with help from Jurel, who scored 52 not out off 34 balls, raised 121 runs for the fourth wicket partnership to guide RR to a comfortable victory at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium here. After LSG skipper K.L Rahul had hammered a 48-ball 76 and Deepak Hooda hit 50 off 31 to take the home team to 196/5, Rajasthan rode on superb batting by their captain Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel to reach 199/3 and win the match with six balls to spare. With this win, table toppers Rajasthan Royals moved up to 16 points from eight wins from nine matches, opening up a big six-point gap at the top of the table. LSG remained in fourth position with 10 points, the same as Kolkata Knight Riders (2nd), Sunrisers Hyderabad (3rd) and Delhi Capitals (5th). They have played nine matches while KKR and SRH have played eight matches each. DC are through with 10 matches so far. Chasing 197 for victory, Rajasthan Royals got off to a fine start with Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal raising 50 runs for the opening wicket partnership. Buttler struck 34 off 18 balls while Jaiswal managed 24 off the same number of balls. Both of them were untroubled by the LSG bowling, which lacked serious pace in the form of Mayank Yadav. Buttler, who had blazed to an unbeaten 107 off 60 balls against KKR 10 days back, faced a couple of anxious moments against Matt Henry and Mohsin Khan, picked pace by hitting Henry for a big six, shuffling across and lapping it over the keeper. He struck a four and scored three off Henry followed by a boundary in the fifth over. He hit Yash Thakur for a four in the sixth over before the bowler came back to get revenge, castling the batter with a slower one. Jaiswal fell on the same score as RR slumped to 60/2 in the seventh over and when Riyan Parag followed him back into the dugout for 14 off 11 balls, Rajasthan Royals fell to 78/3 and the innings was looking to come apart. However, skipper Sanju Samson held the innings together and along with Dhruv Jurel raised an unbeaten 121-run partnership for the fourth wicket as Rajasthan Royals capitalised on some shoddy performance by LSG in the field. LSG grassed a couple of catches, failed to capitalise on a dreadful mix-up between Samson and Jurel to affect a runout and also misfielded on a couple of occasions. Rajasthan Royals had applied the brakes in the middle and death overs but LSG could not do so with the ball as Sanju Samson finished the match with a flurry of shots, hitting Mohsin Khan for a big six after the bowler had failed to run him out at the non-striker's end. He followed that up with a six off the last ball of the over after he and Jurel scored a single each in between. In the 19th over, Samson hammered a four and a six off successive balls off Yash Thakur to finish the match and seal victory for RR. Samson had started slowly and waited for his chances before exploding into action. He came in at 60/1 and saw his team go down to 78/3, so his first seven shots were for singles. A four off veteran Amit Mishra was followed by a couple of boundaries against Thakur. Ravi Bishnoi was also mistreated as Samson hit him for back-to-back fours in the 16th over. A reverse-hit four off Krunal Pandya over point fielder was his best shot of the day before his power-hitting in the last couple of overs. Samson completed his half-century off 28 balls as he went after the bowling with 84 needed off 48 deliveries. Jurel was the more aggressive of the two Samson went berserk towards the end. In the 14th over, Jurel scythed, scooped and pulled Mohsin Khan for 4, 6, 4. Off the fourth ball of the over, Yash Thakur failed to time his jump and palmed the ball over at third man for a single. Jurel was dropped once again by Jurel off Mohsin Khan near the short-third region as the ball raced to the fence. Jurel completed his maiden IPL fifty with a single off Mohsin Khan, reaching the mark in 31 balls. Amit Mishra and Krunal Pandya were the best bowlers for LSG on the park on Saturday night as they fell short by a round 20 runs and then performed poorly in the field to further hamper their chances. Skipper Rahul also left many surprised by not giving Marcus Stoinis another over after he took 1-3 in his first. Brief scores: Lucknow Super Giants 196/5 in 20 overs (K.L Rahul 76, Deepak Hoods 50; Sandeep Sharma 2-31) lost to Rajasthan Royals 199/3 in 19 overs (Jos Buttler 34, Sanju Samson 71 not out, Dhruv Jurel 52 not out; Amit Mishra 1-20, Marcus Stoinis 1-3) by seven wickets.

IPL 2024: Sanju Samson, Dhruv Jurel's 121-run partnership help RR beat LSG by 7-wicket
IPL 2024: Sanju Samson, Dhruv Jurel's 121-run partnership help RR beat LSG by 7-wicket The unbeaten blistering 121-run partnership between Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel powered Rajasthan Royals (RR) to a 7-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Saturday. RR captain Samson scored the highest for RR with an unbeaten 71 off 33 while Jurel played a blistering knock of 52 runs in 34 deliveries. LSG bowlers missed their mark and were further broken apart due to multiple dropped catches. Chasing a target of 197, openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler got Rajasthan Royals off to a flying start in the powerplay. LSG captain KL Rahul opted to stick to pace, as he brought Yash Thakur for the last over of powerplay and the bowler provided his team with a big breakthrough, dismissing the in-form Jos Buttler in his very first over. In the seventh over, RR lost both their openers as Marcus Stoinis dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal on his very first ball of the night. KL Rahul finally opted to make a shift to spin, as he brought Krunal Pandya into the attack and the bowler delivered an economical over, conceding 7 runs. The 41-year-old Amit Mishra announced his arrival in style, as he dismissed Ryan Parag and added further pressure on RR's run-chase. Dhruv Jurel showed some much-needed explosiveness at the crease, running an onslaught against Mohsin Khan, slamming three boundaries and one six. RR captain Sanju Samson slammed a half-century in 28 balls while Jurel continued his impressive form as he bagged his maiden IPL fifty in 31 balls. In the 19th over of the game, Samson and Jurel slammed a four and six to guide their team home with a 7-wicket victory against the home team. Earlier, Magnificent fifties from KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda guided LSG to 196/5 in 20. RR skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and elected to bowl at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The hosts lost the first wicket only on the third ball of the innings as Quinton De Kock was dismissed after slamming two boundaries on the bowling of left-arm seamer Trent Boult. After De Kock's wicket, right-hand batter Marcus Stoinis came out to bat along with skipper KL Rahul. However, Stoinis went back without opening his account in the second over when the team score was 11. After Stoinis's dismissal, Deepak Hooda came out to the crease to bat along with Rahul. Both of them brought up the team's fifty in the seventh over. The LSG skipper brought up his half-century in the 10th over as he hit a boundary on the bowling of Chahal. In the 12th over, the other batter, Hooda also completed his fifty as he took a single on the bowling of Chahal. Hooda was dismissed on the bowling of Ravichandran Ashwin in the 13th over after scoring 50 from 31 balls with the help of seven boundaries. He, along with Rahul, built a partnership of 115 runs in 62 balls. After Hooda, left-hand batter Nicholas Pooran came out to the crease. Pooran was sent back to the pavilion after he scored 11 runs in as many balls. In the 18th over, at the score of 173, Rahul was sent back to the dressing room after he had scored 76 runs in 48 balls which were laced with eight boundaries and two maximums. After the completion of 20 overs, the hosts finished at 196/5. The pick of the bowlers for the Royals was Sandeep Sharma who picked two wickets in his spell of four overs while conceding 31 runs. One wicket each was grabbed by Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, and Ravichandran Ashwin respectively. Brief Score: Lucknow Super Giants 196/5 (KL Rahul 76, Deepak Hooda 50, Sandeep Sharma 2/31) vs Rajasthan Royals 199/3 (Sanju Samson 71, Dhruv Jurel 52; Marcus Stoinis 1-3). (ANI)

Royals Roar to Victory, Secure Play-off with 7-Wicket Triumph over Super Giants
Royals Roar to Victory, Secure Play-off with 7-Wicket Triumph over Super Giants Sanju Samson scored five runs less than his opposite number KL Rahul but his unbeaten 71 off 33 balls had five times more impact compared to Rahul's relatively sedate 48-ball-76 as Rajasthan Royals took a giant leap towards IPL play-offs by comfortably beating Lucknow Super Giants by seven wickets here on Saturday. While Rahul still is favourite to become Rishabh Pant's understudy as the second glovesman at the T20 World Cup, Samson did hit four classy sixes, including the winning one in a chase of 197, to keep himself in the discussion for that US bound flight. Samson and Jurel came together after the Royals had stumbled from a brisk start to hand the advantage to the home side, putting on a robust stand of 121 runs in just 62 balls stand for the unconquered fourth wicket to take their side over the line. Chasing a tricky 197 with LSG deploying seven bowlers including two leg-spinners, Rajasthan finished at 199 for three to win with an over to spare. On his part, the young Jurel finally discovered his to put behind a barren run, smacking five fours and two sixes to make a sturdy 52 not out off 34 balls. The win took top-placed Rajasthan to 16 points six clear from the second-best Kolkata Knight Riders and a step closer to become the first team to reach the playoffs in the 17th edition. The play-offs cut-off this yearis likely to be 18 points if one goes by the current mid-table muddle. LSG remained on fourth spot with 10 points in bag. Rajasthan openers Yashasvi Jaiswal (24) and Jos Buttler (34) knocked off 60 runs from the target unscathed, but their side went through a slump in the following overs while also losing three wickets in quick succession. It began with Buttler walking across his stumps to miss an angled full toss from Thakur, who knocked down the leg-stump for the first breakthrough. Marcus Stoinis bowled an innocuous delivery outside off to invite a free-flowing Jaiswal to go for it. The left-hander obliged but did not connect well, finding Bishnoi at deep point. LSGs plans to tie the Royals down with leg-spin became evident when the 41-year-old Amit Mishra came on as impact substitute and got the priced scalp of Riyan Parag (11) in his first over. Rajasthan slipped from 60 for no loss to 78/3 after nine, and this was when Jurel and Samson began their recovery work to put Rajasthan back on track again. Jurel and Samson began with a six and a four respectively off Mishra to push the leg-spinner on the backfoot and took 17 runs off Thakurs second over. Krunal Pandya (0/24) did well on his part to send down a few measly overs in between but RR were back on charge again when Mohsin Khan came on in the 14th over. Jurel hit the left-armer for 20 runs including three fours and a six in Mohsins third of the game and also enjoyed a reprieve when Thakur, placed at short third man, dropped a crucial catch when the RR batter was on 32. Bishnois introduction as late as in the 16th over had no impact whatsoever, with RR having grasped full control of the proceedings. The leg-spinner leaked another 16 runs as RR inched closer to the finish line. Earlier in the first half, Rahul (76 off 48 balls) dug deep with Deepak Hooda (50 off 31 balls) as Lucknow Super Giants managed a competitive 196/5 against Rajasthan Royals. Rahul and Hooda gave LSG a solid footing with a 62-ball 115-run stand for the third wicket after early blows, but the failure of others meant the hosts could not capitalise on the hard work by the two. Rahuls 48-ball 76 with eight fours and two sixes was his fourth fifty of the season while Hooda banished his poor string of scores to make his first big score this IPL.

After the first phase of elections to 102 Lok Sabha constituencies in the country, Modi has clearly got the hint that the BJP will lose. For this reason, he is telling terrible lies. He is inciting the backward classes against the Muslims by telling the lie that the reservation of the backward classes will be taken away to give it to the Muslims. He warned the backward caste-communities to be careful, he said. Modi also lied about reservation. He has no knowledge of the Constitution, CM said. CM Siddaramaiah said that it was the BJP that opposed the Mandal report. It is the same BJP that opposed the Mandal report and instigated the backward classes to resort to suicide. Rama Jois (Former Governor of Bihar) is from BJP who went to court against the reservation of backward classes.

IPL 2024: KL Rahul, Hoods Hit Fifties As LSG Recover To Post 196/5 Against Royals
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: KL Rahul played a captain's knock and shared a 115-run partnership with Deepak Hooda, who too scored a fine half-century, as Lucknow Super Giants posted a par-score of 196/5 in 20 overs against table-toppers Rajasthan Royals in Match 44 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 here on Saturday. Rahul blasted a 48-ball 76, reaching a cautious half-century off 31 balls, while Hooda scored a 31-ball 50 as LSG recovered from a precarious 11/2 in the second over to post a good score at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. Asked to bat first, LSG got off to a poor start as Quinton de Kock, after hitting back-to-back boundaries to Trent Boult in the first over, was cleaned up on the third ball by the left-handed New Zealand pacer with one that nipped back a bit and went past the opener's bat, which came down late, to crash into the stumps. Sandeep Sharma, who claimed a five-wicket haul a few days ago, accounted for Marcus Stoinis on the last ball of his first over as the ball landed at full length, swung in and went past to disrupt the furniture as the batter tried to drive without getting to the pitch of the ball. LSG were down to 11/2 in the second over. However, LSG recovered from the twin setbacks as skipper Rahul and Hooda raised 115 runs in quick time for the third wicket partnership. Rahul got his third half-century while Deepak Hooda got his first half-century in 19-odd matches. Rahul scooped, drove, pulled and swept superbly to hammer a brilliant 76 off 48 balls, hitting eight fours and two sixes -- the only two sixes of the innings a far cry compared to the last couple of matches in which teams hit maximums in double figures. After a cautious start, Rahul opened up by hitting Boult for a four off an in-swinging yorker and was lucky to survive a ball from Ashwin that darted in, just managing to sweep it away to the boundary. Rahul continued to flourish, hitting back-to-back boundaries off Yuzvendra Chahal in the seventh over -- caressing a half-volley through covers and following it up with a sweep behind square and the spinner strayed to left. The LSG skipper hammered Avesh Khan for 21 in the eighth over, hitting his first six off the second delivery before hammering another six off a no-ball and following it up with a four off the free hit. Just when it looked like he would reach the three-figure mark, Rahul got out as Avesh Khan got his revenge for the mistreatment he received from the LSG as Boult picked a simple catch at deep backward point. Hooda drove, cut, swept and used the switch-hit well to score an exact fifty, hitting Boult for boundaries off successive balls. His four off Chahal in the 12over was his best shot of the night as he hammered seven fours in his 31-ball 50. Rajasthan Royals pulled back things a bit in the death overs, conceding seven and six runs in the 18th and 19th overs before Ayush Badoni (18 not out) and Krunal Pandya (15*) scored 12 runs off the final over to ensure they reached a par score on this ground. Brief scores: Lucknow Super Giants 196/5 in 20 overs (K.L Rahul 76, Deepak Hoods 50; Sandeep Sharma 2-31) against Rajasthan Royals.

Narcotics Bust: 13 Arrested in Gujarat and Rajasthan with Mephedrone Worth Rs. 230 Crore
Narcotics Bust: 13 Arrested in Gujarat and Rajasthan with Mephedrone Worth Rs. 230 Crore The Gujarat Anti Terrorist Squad and Narcotics Control Bureau jointly raided four units in the state and neighbouring Rajasthan and nabbed 13 persons allegedly with mephedrone worth Rs 230 crore, an official said on Saturday. The raids were carried out on Friday after the ATS received a tip off that Ahmedabad-resident Manoharlal Enani and Kuldeepsinh Rajpurohit of Rajasthan had set up mephedrone manufacturing units. A watch was kept on the movements of Enani and Rajpurohit as well as their accomplices, following which raids were carried out on units in Sirohi and Jodhpur in Rajasthan and Piplaj village in Gandhinagar and Bhaktinagar industrial area of Amreli district in Gujarat, an ATS release informed. ''The ATS recovered 22.028 kilograms of mephedrone and 124 kilograms of liquid mephedrone, collectively worth Rs 230 crore. Rajpurohit was nabbed during the raid at Gandhinagar and Enani was held from Sirohi,'' it said. As per the probe, Enani was in jail for seven years after he was nabbed by DRI in 2015 for his involvement in the production of mephedrone at an industrial unit in Rajasthan. All the accused are inter-connected and were procuring the raw material from a company in Vapi industrial area of Valsad district, the release informed. ''Investigations are on to find out since when they have been producing the drug, whether they have sold it in the past and who else were part of the entire cartel,'' said the release.
There has been a total recovery so far of 149 kg mephedrone (in powder and liquid form), 50 kg ephedrine, and 200 litres of acetone while seven suspects have been apprehended, authorities said

IPL 2024: Samson Elects To Field As High-flying Rajasthan Royals Take On Lucknow Super Giants
Jos Buttler Sanju Samson: Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson elected to field first against Lucknow Super Giants in Match 44 of IPL 2024 at the Ekana Stadium here on Saturday. RR decided to go into the match with an unchanged playing XI with Samson saying that the season has been a bit different with the gap in between games and that that should help them while being on the road. Rajasthan Royals are perched at the top of the points table, with 14 points, for more than the next best. LSG are fourth with 10 points, the same as Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad. He claimed that they are following some good processes as a unit and are focussing on their strengths while being aware of their weaknesses. Home captain K.L. Rahul had no issue with batting first as he reckoned the wicket was pretty good, and that there has not been much dew at the venue, leading to an even contest across 40 overs. He said it was important to get off to a good start and put runs on the board now that they were batting first. He felt a score of 200-plus would be nice but conceded the dimensions of the ground do work in the bowler's favour and make the game more interesting. LSG too are going into the match with an unchanged side.

(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

Post-Gaikwad meeting: Khan firm on stand not to campaign for Muslim candidates
Post-Gaikwad meeting: Khan firm on stand not to campaign for Muslim candidates Mumbai Congress chief Varsha Gaikwad on Saturday met her disgruntled colleague Naseem Khan who a day earlier resigned from the party's poll campaign committee over lack of Muslim candidates. Incidentally, Khan was eyeing the Mumbai North Central Lok Sabha seat but the Congress gave ticket to Gaikwad. Khan, a working president of the Maharashtra Congress, had lost the 2019 Assembly polls by 409 votes from Chandivali, which is part of Mumbai North Central Lok Sabha seat. The meeting between Gaikwad and Khan took place for 25 minutes. Talking to PTI, Khan said he was firm on his decision about not campaigning for the party. ''Varsha Gaikwad is my younger sister and can visit me anytime. But I am firm on my stand. Not just in Maharashtra, but even in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Gujarat there are no (Congress) Muslim candidates,'' he claimed. ''Where will Muslims go? They (community) say the Congress wants our votes but then why no representation. Even Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar have not fielded Muslim candidates,'' Khan said. The Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) and Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (SP) are Congress' allies in the Maha Vikas Aghadi. The Congress is yet to name its candidate for Mumbai North seat, while Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP) have declared names for 21 and 10 seats, respectively, in Maharashtra.
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)

Zaheer Khan picks Pant as exclusive wicket-keeper for T20 WC; suggests India debut for Yash Dayal
Zaheer Khan picks Pant as exclusive wicket-keeper for T20 WC; suggests India debut for Yash Dayal Former India pace spearhead Zaheer Khan has picked Rishabh Pant as the sole wicketkeeper in his team for the T20 World Cup while handing out international debut to left-arm seamer Yash Dayal to add a new dimension to the attack. One of Zaheer's most interesting selections was the 26-year-old Dayal, who represents Uttar Pradesh in domestic cricket and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League. He has taken into account Mohammed Shami's injury layoff while picking his squad. ''When I talk about Yash Dayal, it's a floating spot when the 15 are announced because Mohammed Shami will not be available for the tournament. ''He's one bowler that if you need someone to bowl up, you have Yash Dayal. If you want a back-end bowler and if Siraj's form is spotty, he can be used there as well,'' Zaheer told Jio Cinema. Zaheer also selected Delhi Capitals' captain Pant as the only wicket-keeper in his squad, overlooking others such as Sanju Samson, KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan. ''Rishabh Pant is my only wicket-keeper. I have given more importance to bringing four pace bowlers. You don't want to sacrifice a fast bowler for another wicketkeeper. You have options like KL Rahul, Sanju Samson, and many want to see Dinesh Karthik. ''At this point, we can consider Mahendra Singh Dhoni as well because of his strike rate! I think they'll focus on current players like Samson, KL Rahul, and maybe even Jitesh Sharma. ''If you're building a team for a month-long tournament, your travelling reserve can be your wicketkeeper.'' Zaheer named 16 players in his squad, with the caveat that only one player between Gujarat Titans' captain Shubman Gill and Rajasthan Royals' opener Yashasvi Jaiswal will be selected as Rohit Sharma's opening partner. ''The toughest decision the selectors will have to make will be choosing one opener out of two terrific options. Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal, I think only one of them will make it because the think-tank will want flexibility in the team.
