'It's Great For Cricket, Brings People Back': Phillips On Close Series Opener Vs IND
The T20Is: New Zealand batter Glenn Phillips called the close, high-scoring first T20I against India a fantastic match, which is great for cricket as Hagley Oval in Christchurch saw a run-feast, where India chased down a record 226 with four wickets in hand. Speaking ahead of the second T20I between New Zealand and India at the same venue on Saturday, the New Zealand batter referenced that close games are great and that they help the crowd to return to the stadiums and watch cricket. Yeah, it's fantastic, great for cricket (on close first game). To be able to have a game like that, going 220, playing 220, I think it's great for this crowd. It brings people back, and that's great for the game, he told broadcasters ahead of the second match. The T20Is these days are often played with quick turnaround, as is seen during the New Zealand-India series. The two teams began the five-match series on Thursday and are again playing on Saturday with less than 48 hours of gap between the end of the opener and the start of the second game at the same venue. Phillips, who made an unbeaten 82 from 40 balls in the opener, spoke on the importance of recovery during the short turnaround. Yeah, I think it's about getting rest and recovery in. Obviously it's been fantastic down here in Christchurch, weather-wise. So I think a few of the boys got out there, played some golf, tried to get their mind off the game as much as possible, and then come back here and refresh and recover for today, he said. He also said that he had a short break with his mates to Newton Peak and to the Southern Alps in between the two matches for some refreshment. Yeah, for me, I actually took a couple of mates up flying. We went out to Newton Peak and to the Southern Alps. Fantastic. It was great to get out there, just free the mind for a little bit, do something that I love, and I guess come back, enjoy the evening, and rest and recover for today, he added. Phillips switched to a left-hander against Bhuvneshwar Kumar on the final ball of New Zealand's innings and nailed a four on the final ball to take the Kiwis to 225/4. He admitted that he trains batting left-handed during the IPL and unleashed his learnings in the game. Yeah, I try to, especially when we have, I guess, the time overseas, like the IPL, for example, where you've got lots of net opportunities, lots of sidearms, lots of throwers. I guess it's a little bit remiss to not use that opportunity to upskill.

Prepared to face cyclonic system, people need not panic: Odisha Minister
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 23 (IANS) Odisha Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari on Friday assured the public that the state government is fully prepared and has completed all the preparations to tackle the impending cyclonic system. While speaking to media persons, Pujari urged the people not to panic as the state has extensive experience handling severe weather disasters and is ready to face such challenges. He said the administration is prepared for the worst-case scenario regardless of the final intensity of the cyclonic storm or landfall location. The minister stated that all concerned departments of the state government as well as district administrations are fully prepared to face any eventualities faced by the probable cyclone. There is no need to worry, nor is there any need to be perturbed. This cyclone will also come and pass. And to ensure there is no significant damage, the State Government has already put in place whatever arrangements are necessary, said Pujari. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), on Friday, a Low Pressure Area has formed over southeast and adjoining east central Bay of Bengal under the influence of the upper air cyclonic circulation in the region. It is most likely to persist over the same region and intensify into a depression on 24th October 2026. Thereafter, it is very likely to move west-northwestwards and intensify further into a deep depression on 25th October & into a cyclonic storm over the Westcentral Bay of Bengal by 26th October morning. It would then continue to intensify further and move west-northwestwards towards North Andhra Pradesh and adjoining South Odisha coasts during the subsequent 2 days, informed the IMD on Friday. Meanwhile, IMD Bhubaneswar director Manorama Mohanty said once a depression forms, the systems likely track will be indicated. She added that it is expected to move towards the west-northwest. The fishermen in Odisha have been advised not to venture into the sea along and off the Odisha Coasts on October 26th and 27. The intensity of rainfall in coastal areas of the state is expected to increase from October 27 evening. The state is expected to experience very heavy rainfall on October 29. However, on the 26th, coastal districts are likely to experience rainfall accompanied by lightning and thunder.

Nithya Sre Sumathy Sivan: Indias Tokyo 2020 Paralympics gold medallist Krishna Nagar has called for greater recognition and corporate investment in para-badminton, arguing that increased visibility and sponsorship could significantly expand opportunities for athletes in the sport. Speaking after winning silver in mens doubles SH6 with Sivarajan Solaimalai and bronze in mixed doubles SH6 with Nithya Sre Sumathy Sivan at the 2026 Asian Para Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, Nagar acknowledged the support extended by the government and sporting authorities but stressed that para-sport needs greater commercial attention to match its competitive achievements. The 2024 world champion also reflected on the tactical errors that cost him crucial points, the transition to a 15-point format and his determination to return to the top of the podium at the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympics. Nagar believes the next phase of growth for Indian para-badminton will depend not only on performances at international competitions but also on the willingness of sponsors and major companies to invest in the sport. While acknowledging the support provided by the central government, the Sports Authority of India and existing sporting programmes, he said greater commercial backing could help more para-athletes access opportunities to develop their careers. The central government supports us a lot. The Prime Minister always supports us. All the able-bodied players support us, too. They are coming up with good schemes for us, such as TOPS and Podium. The central government is always backing us to achieve more and is doing a lot for the players. So, we have the full support of the central government, Nagar told IANS in an exclusive interaction. However, Nagar believes that government assistance must be accompanied by stronger public engagement and greater interest from corporate sponsors. Drawing a comparison with cricket, he said para-sport could expand its reach considerably if it received similar levels of attention and investment. Everything is very positive for both para and able-bodied sports, from the central government to the sports authority and the funders. There is a positive response from everyone. Literally. But we have this one thing: if para sports start getting the same amount of recognition and attention as cricket, the scope for para sports will be very high. They have already grown a lot since 2021 and 2024. They should grow even more after the Asian Games. But I think the competition will be very tough by 2028. If you look at it, the biggest thing for any para athlete is money. If para athletes grow even more, it will be much better. Sponsors will be good. There are many big companies in India. If para sports are endorsed, itll be great for our sport, because there are many players in para sports, he added. For Nagar, the argument for greater investment is rooted in the results Indian para-athletes have already produced on the international stage. He believes commercial support could help strengthen the sports ecosystem and create better opportunities for athletes beyond the established names. For example, I am in the para-athletes' category. Whatever training I do, I do it with an able-bodied player. I train and compete with them, so it is better for me. I want all the endorsers to be in para sports, because para sports are getting good results. If you look at both badminton and para badminton, Pramod bhaiya (Bhagat) and I are the only people to win gold at the Olympic level. But there is no recognition for para badminton yet. You will see javelin has done very well. But para badminton has not done as well as it should have. Para badminton results come in 7-10 days. In 7-10 days, everything has to be done on the same page. I hope I can repeat everything in 2028. I know I will and get on top of the podium, he stated. Nagars call for greater recognition comes as he begins looking towards the next Paralympic cycle. Having won gold at the Tokyo Paralympics and the world title in 2024, the Indian shuttler is aiming to maintain his fitness and sharpen his game ahead of the qualification period for Los Angeles 2028, which is scheduled to begin in 2027. I am a Tokyo Paralympics gold medallist, a 2024 world champion and an Asian Games silver medallist. But it all depends on how much I have to train to maintain my fitness. I have to try as much as I can to keep my fitness at its best, Nagar said. His campaign at the Asian Para Games brought two medals in doubles, but Nagar admitted that the results also exposed areas that require attention. In the mens doubles SH6 final, he and Sivarajan struggled to sustain their intended strategy against China, with coordination issues allowing their opponents to take control of crucial exchanges. As you can see, in doubles, there were some patches where we couldnt coordinate well with each other, and the Chinese took advantage of this. We were trying to tire them out in the rally and play long rallies, but they didnt let it continue. We kept trying, thinking that the longer the rally, the better it would be for us. We waited for a long timein the sense that we tried to play with a lot of patiencebut it wasnt happening, he said. Nagar said the partnership would need more time together on court to improve its consistency, with the upcoming qualification cycle and the 2028 World Championships forming important milestones in their preparations. But its okay. The qualification year for LA will start in 2027, so we will try to do our best. We will train together as much as we can because before that, we have a world championship in 2028. Our main focus will be to do our best, Nagar expressed. Another significant adjustment on Nagars agenda is the transition to 15-point games. The Indian shuttler believes the shorter format could suit his aggressive playing style, although it will require him to be more decisive from the opening points. As of now, regarding the 15-point game, in the beginning, we would keep the first three or four points a little loose and play according to the rally. But we wont have to do that now. Now, we have to focus on the first points of the game. We will have to play as quickly as we can, because it is a 15-point game. There is no room for mercy. If you dont leave a single point, things can get out of your hands at any time. And in my category, maam, anyone can beat anyone. I mean, any player among the top eight or ten can defeat anyone, the 27-year-old said. Nagar pointed to the changing distribution of major titles in the SH6 category as evidence of the competitive depth at the top level. With different players emerging as champions across major tournaments, he believes sustained improvement will be essential to remaining among the leading contenders. In my category, I was the champion in 2021. In 2024, it was France, and I was the world champion in 2024. In 2023, at the Asian Championships, I won silver in singles and bronze in doubles. In 2024, in Paris, the French player became the champion. After that, at the World Championships, a player from the USA became world champion in February 2026. And this time, I think the Asian teams medalist will change as well. In my category, there is still no consistency. This will go on. But I think I am the only one who can win all the tournaments. However, I have to work harder and harder now. I have to prepare myself as much as I can for the 15-point format, and that is better, he mentioned. Nagar also identified his performance in the closing stages of matches as an area requiring improvement. Recalling his singles match against China, he said a substantial lead in the deciding game slipped away because of errors at crucial moments. My main event is singles, and Im good at it. I train for it, but Im a little disappointed that I didnt compete in singles. I was fully fit. Everyone was good. My endurance, agility, game and power were all good. But towards the end, I had a few technical issues. You must have seen my singles match against China. I was leading 1611 in the third set. After that, I started having some glitches. I was then leading 1917, but after that, I started making mistakes. Now I think Ill have to work a little more on all these things in the last four or five points. But as youll see, from the next tournament, all the games will be 15 points. So I think that will be beneficial for me because I play fast, powerful games. It will be very beneficial for me to play to 15 points, so Ill try to give my best. But Ill try not to repeat these mistakes. I lost my quarter-finals and semi-finals by making these mistakes, so Ill try not to repeat them. Correct. I was very confident about the Asian Gamesthat I would win them and wouldnt make a single mistake, he said. His mixed doubles campaign with Nithya Sre Sumathy Sivan offered a similar lesson. The Indian pair lost their semifinal against Indonesias Rina Marlina and Subhan after failing to convert opportunities to finish rallies, allowing their opponents to build momentum. When we had a chance to finish the shuttle, two or three times, the shuttle didnt finish. I defended the shuttle. That was our point. But they defended. From there, their mindset levelled up very confidently. After that, they changed the game a little bit. Then I tried to cover a little bit, but I made a small mistake. So they took advantage of that. For Nagar, improving his technical execution and maintaining a positive approach under pressure will be essential as he prepares for the next phase of international competition. The technical improvement is simply this: the more positively you play the game and the more positively you keep the subtlety within your court, the better. You must play your best and give your all for every point. For Nagar, improving his technical execution and maintaining a positive approach under pressure will be essential as he prepares for the next phase of international competition.

Why some people struggle to say no even when exhausted, according to psychology
Saying yes to others' requests can be a common pattern for people-pleasers, leading to stress and overcommitment. This habit stems from a fear of disappointing others, which can make saying no feel uncomfortable. Continued agreement may cause emotional exhaustion and hinder personal relationships. Effective strategies for setting boundaries include pausing before answering requests and practicing refusal in low-pressure situations.
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 22 (IANS) BJP MP Ashok Mittal on Thursday criticised the Opposition for holding protests, saying that it should focus on working for the country and its people instead of wasting time on demonstrations that cause inconvenience to the public. Speaking to IANS, Mittal said the Opposition should reach out to people and work to address their concerns rather than resorting to protests. Unfortunately, the Opposition is wasting its time on protests. They should work for the country and the people. Why don't they work for the public by reaching out to them? What will these protests achieve? They are wasting their own time and causing inconvenience to people, he said. He added that such protests often lead to traffic jams and force shops to shut, inconveniencing ordinary citizens. Traffic jams occur at various places, and shops have to close. This will only distance the public from them, not bring them closer. The matter is before the Supreme Court, which is examining it, while the Election Commission is also looking into it in its own way, Mittal said. The BJP MP also spoke about the drug problem in Punjab, alleging that anti-social elements, gangsters and drug smugglers were contributing to the crisis. He claimed that the alleged nexus between drug smugglers and government officials was allowing the problem to persist. Anti-social elements, gangsters and drug smugglers are spreading the drug problem in Punjab. However, this is possible because of the government's involvement. It is very unfortunate that the government, administration and drug smugglers are working together, with links between them. When our government comes to power, there will be no such collusion, and the problem will be resolved, he told IANS. Mittal also commented on India's ongoing trade negotiations with several countries, expressing confidence that an agreement with the United States would be finalised soon. He said India had already concluded trade agreements with the United Kingdom, New Zealand and several other countries, adding that negotiations with the US had reached an advanced stage. India has already completed trade agreements with the UK, New Zealand and several other countries. The agreement with the US is at the final stage. US President Donald Trump himself has said so, and his senior ministers have also visited India. That agreement will also be completed, he said. Emphasising that India's interests would remain paramount, Mittal said any trade agreement with the US would be finalised only after taking the country's priorities into account. It is clear that India will not compromise on its interests. Any trade agreement will be concluded with India's interests in mind and will prove to be a new milestone for India and its trade, he added.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 21 (IANS) The investigation into the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroffs car has taken a new turn, with Delhi Polices Special Cell arresting four people allegedly linked to the supply of weapons and efforts to help the shooters escape. Delhi Polices Special Cell, NDR unit, arrested four accused on October 20. They have been identified as Kunal, 21, and Sumit, 19, both residents of Sonipat district in Haryana, along with Radha, 23, from Sitapur in Uttar Pradesh, and Babita, 23, from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh. The investigation is examining the alleged movement of a pistol and ammunition from Amritsar to Mumbai, the role of intermediaries in delivering the weapon and the reported attempts to help the shooters leave the city after the incident. According to the police, investigators are examining the alleged roles of the four in transporting the weapon. Kunal had recently been released from jail on bail. He allegedly met Anil Pandit through a friend. The two subsequently began communicating through an encrypted messaging application, according to Delhi Police. Police allege that, on Pandits instructions, Kunal brought a pistol and 20 cartridges from Amritsar. Sumit reportedly accompanied him during the journey. According to the police account, Kunal met Radha around two months before the incident. He allegedly told her about his activities and subsequently persuaded her to carry the weapon to Mumbai. On October 15, Kunal reportedly took Radha and Babita to New Delhi railway station. The pistol was allegedly placed inside Radhas bag. On October 17, Radha and Babita reportedly arrived in Dadar and checked into a hotel. At around 11 am that day, a minor boy allegedly collected the bag from Radha near the hotel. Police are investigating who received the bag afterwards and how the weapon was allegedly used in the firing. The firing incident took place on the evening of October 18. According to Delhi Police, Anil Pandit subsequently told Kunal that the shooters were stranded in Mumbai and allegedly asked him to arrange their escape. On the same day, Radha and Babita reportedly left Dadar for Delhi aboard the Haridwar Express. The women were apprehended at New Delhi railway station on October 20, while Kunal and Sumit were detained in Sonipat. Following the firing incident, the accused reportedly fled to Surat in Gujarat, from where they boarded a Jaipur-bound train.
