Kohli's continuing middle-phase puzzle
CHENNAI: When Sunrisers Hyderabad opened the bowling with Abhishek Sharma against Virat Kohli, it was a no-brainer. Spin is a negative match-up against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter up front and every one in the cricketing fraternity knows it. What, perhaps, came as a surprise was Kohli kicking off with a four on the very first delivery. He did not stop there. Kohli went on to charge at Pat Cummins and flick him for four and then lofted the Australian inside out something you don't see often from him in the powerplay for another boundary. With Faf du Plessis too doing his bit, RCB had raced to 49/1 in three overs. At this point, Kohli was on 23 from 11 balls, batting at over 200+ strike rate. It's been a trend so far this year. Unlike the past, where Kohli has barely hit over 140 SR in the powerplay, he is striking at 155.4 in 2024. It is clear that he has had to make changes in his approach and is trying to be proactive. After all, his T20 innings construction has been a constant debate in this day where the role of an anchor is diminishing in the format. This season, with the T20 World Cup on the horizon, Kohli has shown intent up front. At least he has tried to. He is hitting the pacers over the infield often and has even slog swept spinners once in a while. However, the problem begins after the sixth over. As it did on Thursday. He played out Shahbaz Ahmad for just two runs in the fifth over, and hit a six off T Natarajan in the next over. But after the powerplay, Kohli went into a shell. He just worked singles and nothing else against Mayank Markande and Shahbaz. While they are considered as negative match ups, that he did not even try to take on Jaydev Unadkat and Pat Cummins only added to the slow down. From 23 off 11 balls, Kohli went to 50 off 37 in the 14th over. Kohli would get out trying to pull Unadkat six balls later, while only adding one run to his tally to be dismissed for a 43-ball 51. Although the ball did not necessarily come on nicely, a SR drop from 209 to 118, without a single boundary for eight overs from his bat makes little sense for someone like Kohli. At a time when teams are posting 200+ scores on a consistent basis, sometimes even without a single fifty, to call Kohli's T20 innings construction conservative is not out of place. As much as he has improved his intent in the first six overs 2024 is his best ever in terms of SR in the IPL his middle-overs approach hasn't changed. Since 2023, he has regularly struck in 130s while most batters try to accelerate between overs 7-16. This year, his SR in that phase is 131.29. Albeit an improvement from previous seasons, it is not on par with the current climate. To put it into context, among top-order batters in the ongoing IPL season (min. 82 runs in overs 7-16), only B Sai Sudharsan (126.84) and Ajinkya Rahane (126.15) strike slower than Kohli. Sanju Samson (155.26), Shubman Gill (150.6), Suryakumar Yadav (183.05) and Abhishek (189.13) are miles ahead in innings progression. Rohit Sharma, Ruturaj Gaikwad and KL Rahul, too, have their SR in the 130s, but they are marginally ahead. And among the three, only Rohit is a certainty in India's T20I XI and his PP SR (175.47) is much higher than Kohli. Which begs the question is Kohli's approach in middle-overs a deterrent to the potential total his side can put up? Only the teams can answer. On Thursday, RCB had the likes of Rajat Patidar (20 ball 50) and Cameron Green (37 n.o off 20) to make up as they posted 206/7 in 20 overs. Whether or not they defend it, Kohli's approach is up for debate, if not for RCB on Thursday, for India or any team he plays on a given day while batting first. And that is something he would want to change. For, if someone with the calibre of Kohli can upgrade himself in the powerplay, he could do the same if he wants to in the remaining phases of the game as well. Kohli innings construction since 2019 Year/Ovs SR 1-6 7-16 2019 138.9 118.6 2020 109.4 108.1 2021 130.3 106.5 2022 116.8 115.2 2023 136.8 133.9 2024* 155.4 131.29 * - until RCB v SRH on Thursday
Indian Premier League: At the toss, Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Faf du Plessis said they wanted to put the in-form Sunrisers Hyderabad under scoreboard pressure in Match 41 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium here on Thursday. His team did just that by posting a big total and taking early wickets to win the match. Royal Challengers Bengaluru rode on contrasting half-centuries by Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar and a brilliant all-round performance by Cameron Green, who scored an unbeaten 37 and claimed 2-12, to hand Sunrisers Hyderabad a 35-run defeat and registered their first win after six successive defeats in IPL 2024. Leg-spinner Karn Sharma (2-29) and Swapnil Singh (2-40) too claimed a double each on top of a superb bowling effort as SRH were restricted to 171/8 in 20 overs after a 37-ball fifty by Kohli and a blazing 19-ball half-century by Patidar propelled them to a challenging 206/7 after du Plessis chose to bat first on winning the toss. Considering that SRH has scored two of the biggest totals this season, it was a chasable target for them but they failed to gain any momentum and slumped to their third defeat of IPL and remain in third position. RCB have now won their second match but remain at the bottom. Sunrisers Hyderabad virtually lost the match in the Power-play as they suffered four setbacks -- none more debilitating than the wicket of opener Travis Head for one run in the first over. Du Plessis, who had boldly decided to bat first against an in-form SRH, continued with his fearless approach by opening the bowling with off-spinner Will Jacks. The move paid off as the 25-year-old Englishman struck gold on the last ball of the opening over when Head, who came in as an Impact Substitute, tried to hit him out of the park only to see the ball spin away and the top edge going straight to Karn Sharma on the off-side. Fellow opener Abhishek Sharma, who has a strike rate of 200-plus just like Travis Head, hammered a 13-ball 31 studded with three boundaries and two sixes before he fell to Yash Dayal, attempting a pull but mishitting it and lobbing a slice in the air for keeper Dinesh Karthik to pouch a skier. It became 41/3 in the fifth over when Markram completely missed a Swapnil Singh delivery to be trapped LBW for seven. And when a few deliveries later Klassen, after hitting Swapnil for a six, was out for seven off 3 balls, SRH slumped to 56/4 in the fifth over and their chase of 207 was in disarray. They ended the Power-play at 62/4, as compared to RCB's 61/1 but the three extra wickets proved a huge stumbling block. The dangerous Nitish Kumar Reddy was castled by Karn Sharma playing an ugly switch hit despite the difficult situation his team was in as SRH slumped to 69/5. Abdul Samad (10), who greeted Lockie Ferguson with a swat over long-on off his first delivery, chipped back to Karn, totally foxed by the leg spinner as he jumped out even before the ball was released. Pat Cummins raised SRH hopes by hammering Swapnil Singh for back-to-back sixes in the 11th over and blasted Karn Sharma for a four and six off successive deliveries in the next over, fell to fellow Aussie Cameron Green, trying to hit a short, wide delivery to Mohd Siraj at short third man, beaten by lack of pace in the delivery. He blazed to 31 off 15 balls, hitting one four and three sixes. SRH were 124/7 and the writing was clear on the wall. Green claimed one more wicket, sending back Bhuvneshwar Singh (13) as the run rate kept rising and SRH kept losing wickets. Earlier, Patidar hammered a blazing fifty, his second in successive matches and Kohli scored his fourth half-century at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium as RCB recovered from a decelerating scoring rate after the Power-play to post a big total. Kohli scored his fifty off 37 balls while Patidar hammered his half-century off just 19 balls as RCB posted another 200-plus score after skipper Faf du Plessis opted to bat first on a dual-paced pitch on which the slower one was quite effective. Patidar blasted four sixes in an over off Mayank Markande to shore up the RCB scoring rate after Kohli struggled to break free. Jaydev Unadkat applied the brakes on the free-scoring RCB innings by claiming the key wickets of Patidar, Kohli and Mahipal Lomror for a fine haul of 3-30 off four overs in his 100th outing in IPL. Earlier, skipper du Plessis (25) struck Bhuvneshwar Kumar for three boundaries in the second over, the pick of them being a four crashed through the covers off a fullish delivery outside the off stump. In the next over, he welcomed Pat Cummins with a superb six, scooping behind a delivery picked from around off-stump and planting him over the leg-side for the first six of the match. But the introduction of T. Natarajan brought his downfall when he holed out near the deep cover boundary trying to maintain the RCB scoring tempo in Power-play. RCB raced to 61/1 in Power-play, Will Jacks was out for six after he played all over a slower one from spinner Mayank Markande to make it 65/2. Though Kohli's strike rate went down, Patidar made for that with some brilliant strokes. Kohli, who started with a four off Abhishek Sharma's first delivery, struck back-to-back fours off Pat Cummins and struck a four and six off Natarajan in between singles. He went on to complete a slow half-century off 37 deliveries, hitting four boundaries and one six. This was his fourth successive half-century at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium. Patidar more than made up for the slow going from Kohli with a blazing half-century off 19 deliveries. The highlight of Patidar's sensational knock was the four sixes he blasted off successive deliveries against Markande, lofting, clobbering and pulling the leg-spinner as the over cost SRH 27 runs. Kohli and Patidar raised 65 runs for the third wicket partnership with the latter doing the bulk of scoring. The half-century of their partnership came in 23 balls with Patidar scoring 45 off them. However, SRH pulled things back a bit after Patidar fell by the sword, trying to play another big one but managed to flick the slow full toss from Jaydev Unadkat into the hands of Abdul Samad at deep square leg. Patidar's 20-ball 50 was studded with two boundaries and five maximums. Kohli completed his half-century off 37 balls, but Unadkat got him in the next over, getting him to hole out to Samad as the former RCB skipper failed to break free from the shackles. Mahipal Lomror was out cheaply but Cameron Green played a fine cameo and with the help of Dinesh Karthik (11 off 6) helped RCB reach a defendable total. Swapnil Singh struck a boundary and a six off the first two balls of the final over to help them cross the 200-run mark. Brief scores: Royal Challengers Bengaluru 206/7 in 20 overs (Virat Kohli 51, Rajat Patidar 50, Cameron Green 37 not out; Jaydev Unadkat 3-30, T.Natarajan 2-39) beat Sunrisers Hyderabad 171/8 in 20 overs (Shahbaz Ahmed 40 not out, Abhishek Sharma 31, Pat Cummins 31; Cameron Green 2-12, Karn Sharma 2-29, Swapnil Singh 2-40) by 35 runs

IPL 2024: Karn, Cameron, Swapnil Clean Up SRH As RCB Win After Six Defeats
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Karn Sharma, Cameron Green and Swapnil Singh claimed a couple of wickets each on top of a superb bowling effort to help Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 35 runs for their first win after six successive defeats in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium here on Thursday. Karn Sharma claimed 2-29 in three overs, Cameron Green bagged 2-12 in two and Swapnil Singh made his mark as an Impact Player by getting the dangerous Aiden Markram (7) and Heinrich Klassen (7) in 2-40 as Royal Challengers Bengaluru came up with a brilliant bowling performance after Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar hammered half-centuries to help them reach 208/7. Cameron Green came up with a superb all-round effort, hitting a 20-ball 37 besides taking a good catch as SRH were restricted to 171/8 in 20 overs, chasing a stiff target of 207. Considering that SRH has scored two of the biggest totals this season, it was a chasable target for them, but they failed to gain any momentum and slumped to their third defeat of IPL and remain in third position.

Swapnil, who came in as an Impact Player, made a real impact by bagging the wickets of bit hitters Aiden Markram and Klassen. The dangerous Nitish Kumar Reddy was castled by Karn Sharma playing an ugly switch hit despite the difficult situation his team was in as SRH slumped to 69/5.

IPL 2024: Patidar, Kohli fifties and Green onslaught take RCB to 206/7 vs Sunrisers
Rajat Patidar (50 off 20) and Virat Kohli (51 from 43) helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru post 206/7 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 20 overs on Thursday. Opting to bat first, RCB openers Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis picked up boundaries at ease as they raced to 43/0 in three overs. But then, T Natarajan removed du Plessis for 25 off 12 and Shahbaz Nadeem was introduced. That is when the slowdown began, especially from Kohli. The fourth over from the spinner saw just two runs and the seventh from Mayank Marakande had four singles, and the wicket of Will Jacks. Kohli, who was batting on 22 from 10 balls, went to 42 from 29, adding just 20 runs in 19 balls without a boundary. Through this phase, it was Patidar who kept the innings going. He hit a four off Ahmed and then smashed Markande for a six. After another four against Jaydev Unadkat, Patidar went bonkers. The MP batter hit four consecutive sixes off Markande, racing to 46 off just 15 balls. Although Pat Cummins bowled a boundary-less over, Patidar brought up his fifty in just 19 balls. However, he did not last long. The middle-order batter fell in the same over to Unadkat. Kohli's half century, meanwhile, came off 37 balls, but he too got out to Unadkat in his next over. Between overs 12-15, Bengaluru managed just 20 runs in 18 balls while losing three wickets. In came Cameron Green and he got going without wasting any time. Four boundaries came in the Cummins over with Green and Mahipal Lomror putting their foot down and accelerating. Even as the latter got out, Green hammered three fours off Cummins in the penultimate over. Swapnil Singh hit a couple more in the final over as RCB finished with 206/7 in 20 overs.

Ramandeep dismisses Starc concern, insists he is fit for PBKS match
Ramandeep dismisses Starc concern, insists he is fit for PBKS match Mitchell Starc has no injury concern and is ''available'' for selection, Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Ramandeep Singh said even as the star pacer indulged in just light training sessions ahead of their IPL clash against Punjab Kings. The Australian cricketer, who attracted a record bid, did not have the kind of return to the league after eight years he would have hoped as he has leaked plenty of runs this season and has managed just six wickets. The left-arm quick also reportedly sustained a finger injury on his bowling hand during their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Starc did not bowl at the nets in their two practice sessions ahead of their match against PBKS, while Sri Lankan pacer Dushmantha Chameera was seen slogging it out, fuelling speculation that the Aussie may be ''rested''. But Ramandeep said Starc was available for selection. ''Yes, he's available. It's got to do with his workload management,'' Ramandeep said. ''He is a legend. Cricket is a game of time. We can't judge him from a few matches,'' he said. With Starc going through a poor patch, the bowling unit has come under pressure but Ramandeep said, ''There has been no discussion on bowling.'' ''We just discus about execution and plan and how to improve further. We don't' judge someone in one or two matches.'' With five wins in seven matches, KKR occupy the second spot in the 10-team table and are well placed to finish in top-two. ''We are going for one game at a time. We are just focused on Punjab match, not thinking about finishing top two at the moment,'' Ramandeep said. He further credited team mentor Gautam Gambhir for their consistent show this season. ''Everyone has a lot of clarity. It's only because of him the team is performing so well. He is backing everyone,'' he said.

Kharge seeks Modi's audience to explain the 'reality' of the Cong manifesto
BENGALURU: AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressing his willingness to meet and clarify the reality of the Congress manifesto , which the latter has said ' bears imprint of Muslim League ' and accused of being biased towards Muslims in the elections. Kharge responded to Modi's statement that if Congress comes back to power it will conduct a census and redistribute the wealth among Muslims and will not even spare the 'mangal sutra' of the Hindu mothers and sisters. My mother's 'mangalsutra' was sacrificed for this country: Priyanka Gandhi's blistering attack on PM Hitting back at Modi, in his letter Kharge said You and your government have repeatedly turned away from the atrocities that the poor and backward women are facing in the country. Today, you talk about their mangalsutra. Isn't your government responsible for the atrocities against women in Manipur, atrocities against Dalit girls, garlanding of rapists? When farmers are committing suicides under your government, how are you protecting their wives and children? Please read about the 'Nari Nyay' which we will be Implementing when we come to power. It has become a habit for you to seize on a few words taken out of context and create a communal divide. You are lowering the dignity of the chair by speaking in this manner. When all of this is over, people will remember that the Prime Minister of the country used such vulgar language for fear of losing an election. Do not get carried away by your own people who are clapping at your speeches. They are not allowing you to hear the crores of right thinking citizens who are disappointed by your speeches, he alleged. PM Modi has resorted to lies: Congress on his 'redistribution of wealth' remarks Kharge started his letter with his opening remarks saying; Dear Pradhan Mantri JI,I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am neither shocked nor surprised by your language or your speeches over the last few days. It was expected that you and other leaders from your party would start speaking in this manner after you saw the dismal performance of the BJP in the first phase of the elections. The Congress has been talking about the deprived poor and their rights (Nyay) and the Modi government does not have any concern for the poor and dispossessed, Kharge alleged. Your suit-boot ki sarkar works for the corporates whose taxes you reduced, while the salaried class pays higher taxes. The poor pay GST even on food and salt and rich corporate claim GST refunds. That is why when we talk of inequality between rich and poor, you are purposely equating it with Hindu and Muslim. Our manifesto is for the people of India whether they are Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Jain or Buddhists. I think you have still not forgotten your pre- Independence allies, the Muslim League and Colonial Masters Kharge said. The Congress has always served to empower the poor and you have ruled to snatch the earnings and wealth of the poor. Your government was the one who used Demonetisation as an organised loot and legalised plunder to transfer the money deposited by the poor in the banks to the rich in the form of loans. Then as a part of conscious design these loans were surreptitiously written off by your government. The lakhs of crores of corporate loans that your government has written off since 2014 is the transfer of wealth from poor to rich. No farmer's loan, artisans loans, MSME loan or students loans were waived off by you, Kharge elaborated. My letter to PM @narendramodi ji underlining that he has been misinformed on the Congress Nyay Patra. I would also like to meet him in person to explain him our Manifesto, so that he doesnt make any false statements in future. Sharing the text of the same I am neither pic.twitter.com/pSDkm4IiBW Mallikarjun Kharge (@kharge) April 25, 2024 The Congress Nyay Patra aims at providing Nyay to the youth, women, farmers, labourers and marginalised people across all castes and communities. You are being misinformed by your advisors about things that are not even written in our manifesto. I would be more than happy to meet you in person to explain our Nyay Patra so that as the Prime Minister of the country you don't make any statements that are false, Kharge advised as a closing remark. Kharge earlier had hit back at Modi during LS polls campaigns in the Bengaluru on Monday and had invited Modi for an open debate anywhere including the national capital. As Modi did not respond to his invite, he was forced to write a letter employing sarcasm to elaborate on the Congress party's manifesto, titled 'Congress Nyay Patra'. This letter was written shortly before the commencement of the second phase of polling, which includes fourteen Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka, Kharge's home state, where the electoral stakes are high. No accountability for old guarantees, just empty jugglery of words: Congress on BJP manifesto

Gujarat LS Polls: Hotels to bait voters with special discounts on poll day in Junagadh To encourage voting, many establishments in the state's Junagadh district, including restaurants and hotels, are offering food and stay at a discounted price to those who vote in the Lok Sabha elections on May 7. In this regard, Junagadh Collector Anil Ranavasiya held a meeting with the Junagadh Hotel Association wherein all the hotels and restaurant owners decided to give a 7 per cent discount on food on the day of voting. The District Administration has completed all the arrangements and made preparations so that all the voters can cast their votes for the Junagadh Lok Sabha seat without any hassle. The Junagadh Collecter spoke about the initiative and said, All the preparations for casting votes for the Junagadh seat have been completed. Sensitive booths and extensions have been identified and we have completed all the arrangements right from security. Adding further, the officials informed, Seven all-women polling booths have been set up for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls here.

Meanwhile, similar initiatives are being undertaken in several other parts of the country as well. Hoteliers in Karnataka's Bengaluru city are doing their bit to nudge the city's jaded voters to step out in the summer sun and exercise their franchise. Many hotels are trying to bait residents by dangling discounts, free food and sundry offers to encourage citizens to ink their fingers on April 26, when the state goes to polls. Hoteliers want to encourage voters with the idea and have therefore announced free Khali dosa, laddu, and juice for all voters who visit the hotel after voting. While a few hotels are offering free food, many others are offering a discount on the bill. Considering that elections are on Friday, a few outlets have decided to continue the offers through the weekend. Voting is going to take place on May 7 of all 26 seats in Gujarat. Although BJP has already won one seat in Surat, voting will be held on the remaining 25 seats. Congress and AAP are contesting the elections in Gujarat in alliance. Congress has fielded candidates on 24 out of 26 seats, while AAP is contesting Bhavnagar and Bharuch. Voting in Gujarat will take place on May 7 in the third phase of the Lok Sabha elections. (ANI)

Lok Sabha Polls 2024: BJP's Youth Icon Tejasvi Surya eyes second term in Bengaluru South
Lok Sabha Polls 2024: BJP's Youth Icon Tejasvi Surya eyes second term in Bengaluru South In the political battleground of Bengaluru South, one of Karnataka's 28 Lok Sabha constituencies, the Indian National Congress (INC) gears up to challenge the stronghold of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Bangalore South has been a bastion for the BJP, the party has not been defeated from here since 1991. The late Ananth Kumar was elected to the Lok Sabha 6 times from this seat. In 2019, BJP's current Member of Parliament, Tejasvi Surya, secured victory with a significant margin of 27.87% against INC's BK Hariprasad and became the youngest BJP MP in Lok Sabha. In 2014, the seat was won by BJP's Ananth Kumar, defeating INC's Nandan Nilekani with a substantial margin. As the President of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha since September 2020, Surya continues to wield influence both locally and nationally. The stage is set for a fierce electoral battle as Bangalore South braces for the second phase of polling on April 26, 2024. The spotlight is on the intense competition between Tejasvi Surya and INC's Soumya Reddy, who is vying to claim the parliamentary seat for Congress. Reddy was elected as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Karnataka from Jayanagar in the 2018 Karnataka Assembly elections by defeating BJP's B N Prahlad. She is also the daughter of Karnataka Muzrai and Transport Minister, Ramalinga Reddy. Exuding confidence in his victory in the upcoming elections, Tejaswi Surya said that the BJP will win with a margin of over 5 lakh in the constituency. The people of Bengaluru South blessed a youngster like me with a margin of over 3.3 lakh votes in 2019 and gave a resounding mandate to Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji. This time, the citizens will ensure a historic third term for PM Modi Ji by a bigger margin of over 5 lakh votes, Surya said. Beyond politics, Bangalore South's demographics play a crucial role. With approximately 20 lakh voters, including a significant percentage of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe voters, the constituency represents a diverse electorate. Despite its urban character, it encompasses a wide range of social and economic backgrounds. (ANI)

Legendary Yakshagana Artist Subrahmanya Dhareshwar Passes Away Yakshagana thespian Subrahmanya Dhareshwar (67), who had earned the fame of 'Bhagavata Shrestha' for his scintillating voice, passed away on Thursday in Bengaluru. Family sources said the end came at his son's house in Bengaluru in the morning following a brief illness. He is survived by his wife, son and a daughter. He was revered for filling the vacuum that arose after the departure of Kalinga Navada, who had created a new wave in Yakshagana in Badguthittu version. Subrahmanya Dhareshwar had served 46 years in the field of Yakshagana, a unique dance form from coastal Karnataka, which involves distinct singing, dancing and drama style that has resemblance with the Theyyam art form of neighbouring Kerala. Dhareshwar had served as the main singer for 28 years in Perdoor Mela alone and before that he had started his journey in Amriteshwari Mela. As a disciple of Upparu Naranappa Bhagavata he sang in thousands of Yakshagana ballets held all over Karnataka and some in other states and few in other countries. Contemporary to the iconic Yakshagana singer Kaalinga Navada, Dhareshwar had sung in Yakshagana episodes enacted by top artistes like Chittani Ramachandra Hegde, Gode Narayan Hegde, Krishna Yaji Ballur, Kondadakuli Ramachandra Hegde and many more. Born in Gokarna in Uttara Kannada district in 1957, he used to practice music and perform. The news about 'Bhagavata Shreshtha' sent a shockwave among the Yakshagana aficionado, many of whom would attend the Yakshagana events to listen to his songs. He was a source of inspiration for many young Yakshagana enthusiasts who would cherish to sing like him in the loud and roaring voice that sometimes would give goosebumps to his audiences. Mourning his demise, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said he was saddened with the news about the death of Subrahmanya Dhareshwar, a well-known Yakshagana Bhagavat of the coastal region. Dhareshwar, who entertained the art lovers with his melodious voice for 45 years, is known for his experiments in the Yakshagana singing, he noted.
