Delhi Capitals Parts Ways With IPL Coaching Staff; Official Word On New Coaches To Come Soon
Indian Premier League: Delhi Capitals have officially parted ways with their existing coaching group ahead of the 2027 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, by making an announcement through their social media accounts. Under GMR, who were at the helm for the 2025 and 2026 seasons as per an operational agreement signed with co-owners JSW in 2024, DC had former India player Hemang Badani as their head coach, alongside director of cricket Venugopal Rao, bowling coach Munaf Patel, assistant coach Ian Bell and fielding coach John Mooney. A special coaching group, and some very special memories. Thanks for everything, Tigers, Delhi Capitals posted on 'X' and Instagram accounts on Monday. The announcement comes on the back of operational control now transitioning to JSW Sports for the 2027 and 2028 IPL cycles. Yes, the term of the Badani-led coaching group is over. In a day or two, the new Delhi Capitals coaches for the IPL 2027 season will be officially announced, said a source to IANS on Monday. As previously reported on September 14, Yuvraj Singh, Amit Mishra and Chaminda Vaas are expected to join the new-look DC coaching staff. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly, currently serving as JSW's Director of Cricket, is expected to take over as head coach, though it remains to be seen if he will be hit by the Conflict-of-Interest clause as he also serves as President of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB). In 2019, when he was CAB President before crossing over to become BCCI President, Ganguly was the team advisor for DC in the IPL. At that time, Ganguly had stated that his position as CAB President was purely honorary and he couldnt influence anything in the IPL. Ganguly worked as head coach of Pretoria Capitals in SA20 earlier this year, which marked his maiden foray as a coach, and was also involved with the DC side in the Womens Premier League (WPL). Yuvraj, whos won World Cups for India in ODIs and T20Is, is set to step into his maiden formal cricket coaching role as DCs batting coach. Yuvraj has been a hands-on mentor to Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma and Prabhsimran Singh, as well as worked with Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson intermittently. Vaas, the Sri Lankan fast bowling legend, and Mishra, the former India leg-spinner who was a prolific wicket-taker in the IPL, are slated to join the franchise as fast and spin bowling coaches. Vaas has worked in a coaching capacity with the Sri Lanka mens team many times and with the SLC academy. He also worked with New Zealand and Ireland teams in a consulting capacity, as well as held coaching roles in various franchise leagues. For Mishra, it will be his first coaching stint after announcing his retirement from all forms of cricket last year. Ganguly, Yuvraj and Mishra were present at DCs trials and off-season camp at the Just Cricket Ground in Bengaluru in August. In September, Yuvraj, Mishra and Vaas were present at another camp and trials held at a ground in Aerocity, New Delhi. Vaas, the Sri Lankan fast bowling legend, and Mishra, the former India leg-spinner who was a prolific wicket-taker in the IPL, are slated to join the franchise as fast and spin bowling coaches. Vaas has worked in a coaching capacity with the Sri Lanka mens team many times and with the SLC academy.

NDA alleges pressure on Ktaka CEO over SIR process, seeks protection for Form-7 applicants
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 5 (IANS) A delegation of NDA leaders on Monday alleged that the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) appeared to have come under pressure from the Karnataka government regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and sought protection for individuals and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders filing Form-7 objections. The delegation, led by Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, Union Minister of State Shobha Karandlaje, former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly R. Ashoka and Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council Chalavadi Narayanaswamy, submitted a complaint to Chief Electoral Officer V. Anbukumar alleging undue interference by the state government in the SIR process. The NDA leaders expressed concern over what they described as undue influence exerted by the state government on the constitutional process of SIR, particularly with regard to the filing of Form-7 applications seeking deletion of names from electoral rolls. They urged the Chief Electoral Officer to issue appropriate directions to Electoral Registration Officers (EROs), Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs) and District Magistrates to safeguard the interests of individuals filing Form-7 objections. The delegation also sought directions to the Karnataka Police, through the Director General and Inspector General of Police, to ensure that the police do not interfere in the SIR process by registering what it termed false or unwarranted FIRs against individuals, including BJP workers. The NDA leaders maintained that there was no bar on filing Form-7 applications in bulk and cited an Election Commission of India communication dated January 16, 2026, in support of their contention. There exists a provision to file applications in bulk for identifying corrections to be carried out in the draft electoral rolls. Hence, there is no bar on filing bulk applications through Form-7, the submission stated. The delegation alleged that members of the ruling Congress government and Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) workers had been influencing and interfering with the SIR process. It further alleged that the state government was misusing the police machinery by registering criminal cases against individuals who had filed Form-7 objections, creating fear and apprehension among objectors. The NDA leaders alleged that while filing false objections was punishable, the police were registering serious offences such as cheating, forgery, intimidation and breach of peace against individuals filing Form-7 applications. They also alleged that the police were attempting to bypass the non-cognisable nature of Section 31 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, by registering serious cases without due application of mind and under political pressure, particularly against BJP workers and individuals sympathetic to the party. The submission referred to reports of FIRs being registered in Bhalki in Bidar, Market Area in Belagavi, Vyalikaval in Bengaluru, Ballari and Narasimharaja in Mysuru. The delegation alleged that such action amounted to misuse of police powers to interfere with the functioning of the Election Commission of India. The NDA leaders also objected to the protest staged by Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and other ministers on October 1 at the premises of the Chief Electoral Officers office. They alleged that the protest was held despite prohibitory orders and exerted undue pressure on the functioning of the Chief Electoral Office. The delegation sought clarification on how a private individual was permitted to file a complaint under the relevant provisions when the prescribed procedure required action by the government or a competent authority. It also sought clarification on how the complainant obtained the relevant official document, under what authority it was accepted and acted upon, and the legal basis and procedure followed in registering and proceeding with the complaint. The NDA delegation said the SIR process was progressing in a structured manner and was currently at the stage of notice hearings and the filing of claims and objections. It said filing objections to the inclusion of a voters name in the electoral roll was a legitimate statutory right available to a person whose name was already included in the roll. According to the submission, once an objection is filed through Form-7, the ERO or AERO is required to conduct a summary inquiry by issuing notices. During the hearing, both the objector and the person against whom the objection has been made are entitled to appear and be heard. The NDA leaders said the process of deciding objections through Form-7 was a statutory and constitutional mechanism aimed at ensuring that ineligible voters do not exercise their right to vote, citing Sections 16 to 20 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950. They urged the Chief Electoral Officer to ensure that the SIR process is conducted independently and that individuals exercising their statutory right to file objections are not subjected to undue pressure or intimidation.

Ashutosh Sharma Switches From Railways To Gujarat For 2026/27 Domestic Season
Gujarat Cricket Association: Ashutosh Sharma has switched allegiance from Railways to Gujarat for the 2026/27 domestic season, Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) Secretary Anil Patel told IANS on Monday. It is understood that Ashutosh has been training with the Gujarat team and even featured in some of their practice games. Known for his explosive power-hitting in the death overs in the shortest format, Ashutosh is among three guest players signed by the GCA alongside India leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi, who is currently in the squad for the T20I series against the West Indies, starting in Lucknow on Tuesday, and fast bowler Ashok Sharma, who moved on from Rajasthan but is currently undergoing rehab at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru. Yes, Ashutosh Sharma will be playing domestic cricket for Gujarat from this year. Hes definitely a great addition to our batting order, especially in the white-ball formats. We are waiting for good results now. Theres a need for us to get a big title, as last to last year (2024/25 season), we missed out after coming into the Ranji Trophy semi-finals. With a new coach in Monty Desai, lets hope for the best, Patel told IANS on Monday. Ashutosh initially played domestic cricket for Madhya Pradesh before moving to Railways. His reputation as a high-impact finisher in the shortest format earned him Indian Premier League (IPL) stints with Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals. Earlier this year, Ashutosh had a stint with Hampshire in the One-Day Cup, where he picked 14 scalps in seven games, including a five-wicket haul, though he made only 56 runs with the bat. Gujarat will open their 2026/27 Ranji Trophy campaign against Odisha at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The first round of the Ranji Trophy will also see senior opener KL Rahul turn out for Karnataka against Andhra in Vijayawada, while left-arm spinner Manav Suthar will captain Rajasthan in their opening game against Tamil Nadu in Jaipur.

He wrote, I, Javed Akhtar want to tell every one that the fake message on the social media that I have criticised CJP and run down Abhijeet Dipke is as fake as fake can be.

Ktaka: Prison DIG held over fake SC order used to free convict
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 5 (IANS) Parappana Agrahara police in Bengaluru have arrested Prison Department North Zone DIG Somashekar on charges of allegedly releasing a life-term prisoner from jail on the basis of a fake Supreme Court order, police said on Monday. Police are questioning Somashekar as part of the investigation into the alleged forgery and illegal release of the prisoner. The prisoner, identified as Shankar, was serving a life sentence in a murder case. According to the police, a fake document resembling a Supreme Court order was allegedly prepared in 2018 to facilitate his release from prison. Police have alleged that Srikanth, a Second Division Assistant (SDA), prepared the fake order. Shankar and Srikanth have also been arrested in connection with the case. At the time of the incident, Somashekar was serving as the Jail Superintendent of Parappana Agrahara Central Prison. Shankar, who had been convicted in the murder case, was released from the prison on November 13, 2018, allegedly based on the forged Supreme Court document. Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the preparation and use of the fake order and the role of the accused in facilitating the prisoners release. Investigators are also looking into the possible involvement of the accused in other similar incidents and are examining whether any other prisoners may have been released using forged documents. Further questioning of Somashekar and the other accused is under way as police continue their investigation. It may be recalled that, according to data shared by then Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and former Home Minister G. Parameshwara, criminal cases were registered against 88 police personnel and officers in Karnataka for their alleged involvement in various criminal activities. Siddaramaiah had termed the involvement of police personnel in criminal cases as shameful and unpardonable. Parameshwara presented the official figures during a session of the state legislature, highlighting accountability within the force. Speaking at an annual conference of police officers, Siddaramaiah also expressed strong displeasure over criminal cases registered against members of the state police force. He referred to high-profile incidents, including an ATM cash van robbery in Bengaluru in which a head constable was allegedly identified as the kingpin. He also cited drug cases in Karnataka being cracked by police forces from other states instead of local law enforcement, which he had described as embarrassing. The state government had stated that it was examining stricter legal measures and seeking greater vigilance within the department to prevent such incidents.

Karnataka to reconsider cash awards for Asian Games medallists from state
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 5 (IANS) Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Youth Empowerment and Sports G. Parameshwara on Monday said the state government is reconsidering the cash awards for sportspersons by comparing them with the incentives offered by other states. Speaking to reporters near the West Gate of Vidhana Soudha, Parameshwara said he had already discussed the matter with Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and that the revised prize amounts would be announced on Tuesday. We are reconsidering the prize money given to sportspersons in the state by comparing it with other states. I have already discussed this with the Chief Minister. We will announce tomorrow how much prize money should be given to sportspersons, he said. Parameshwara said he had personally spoken to several successful athletes, including Poovamma, regarding the incentives being provided by the government. We tried to contact and congratulate Poovamma when she was in Japan, but we could not reach her at that time. Within an hour or two of her return to India, I contacted her and spoke to her. I have spoken not only to Poovamma but also to several other athletes, he said. He said the government had collected information about the cash awards being offered by other states and was examining the details. Sportspersons have told us that higher amounts are being given in other states. We have obtained that information and examined it. I have already discussed with the Chief Minister the need to reconsider the prize money in Karnataka, Parameshwara said. The Deputy Chief Minister said the Chief Minister and he would jointly announce the revised prize money to be offered to sportspersons on Tuesday. We will announce tomorrow how much the prize money should be increased, he said. It can be noted M.R. Poovamma, a member of the Indian womens 4x400-metre relay team that won the gold medal at the Asian Games, expressed dissatisfaction over Karnataka's cash reward of Rs 35 lakh for a gold medal, urging the state government to enhance the cash rewards for medal-winning athletes to provide greater financial support. She also felt disappointed that no state leaders or district officials called to congratulate her immediately after her win in Japan. She urged the state to improve support and increase financial incentives for future athletes. Chief Minister Shivakumar and Deputy Chief Minister Parameshwara contacted her over phone later, and CM Shivakumar invited her for a meeting to discuss enhancing the state's sports reward policies.

1st T20I: India Aim To Carry Asiad Momentum Against West Indies (Preview)
Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket: India will look to carry the momentum of their recent Asian Games success into the five-match T20I series against the West Indies when the sides meet at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium here on Tuesday. The T20I series follows just three days after the West Indies chased down 352 in New Chandigarh, achieving their highest successful ODI run chase against India. Captain Shai Hope scored a brilliant 162 not out to lead the visitors to victory and give them a significant boost in confidence for the shorter format series. The Men in Blue will be wary of the danger that the Caribbean side, consisting of many power-hitters, possesses, something they must have seen in the recently concluded 50-over series. Amir Jangoo, the wicketkeeper-batter, has been added to the West Indies' squad as cover for Jewel Andrew, who sustained a finger injury during the third ODI on Saturday. Amir Jangoo has been added to the squad as cover for the wicketkeeping position following the finger injury sustained by Jewel Andrew during Saturdays third ODI. Andrew is still being monitored and assessed by the medical team, CWI said in a statement on Monday. The last time India and West Indies played a T20I series was in the Caribbean in 2023, with the hosts winning it 3-2. India will now start a new phase in the format with Shreyas Iyer as captain and Tilak Varma his deputy. On Saturday, Iyer guided India to victory in the final of the Asian Games in Nisshin, Japan, beating Pakistan by 19 runs in an exciting final. The captain will now be focusing on a new-look T20I series against a West Indies team which is entering the series with increased confidence. India have in the past dominated the rivalry in the shortest format, having a 20-10 lead in 31 T20 matches. Their record at home is even more impressive, since they won nine of the 11 T20I matches they played against West Indies on home soil. Since 2018, India have won 18 out of the 23 T20I matches they have played at home against the West Indies. The West Indies have demonstrated that they are capable of giving India a tough time when their power hitters hit early and their bowlers carry out their strategies effectively. In their match in Lucknow, their task will be to keep up the aggression without falling into the middle-over mistakes that have usually enabled India to gain the upper hand. Hope will play a central role in their strategy. Although he had a minor groin complaint, he performed brilliantly during the chase and then picked up the pace towards the end, scoring 62 runs from his last 39 deliveries. The combination of composure and power that he showed will be useful in the T20 format. In New Chandigarh as well, Keemo Paul scored 44 runs off 35 balls, hitting five fours after he had been promoted in the order. The fact that he is capable of contributing with both bat and ball means that West Indies now have another possible match-winner. The Ekana Stadium is usually seen as a suitable surface for batting, even though spinners can be used as the ball wears on. Teams that bat early and successfully vary their pace are probably going to have the advantage. On Sunday, the West Indies had their training session under the lights at the ground, and India are due to train on Tuesday, having returned from Japan. The other four T20I matches will then be held in Ranchi on October 9, Indore on October 11, Hyderabad on October 14 and Bengaluru on October 17. When: Tuesday, October 6 Where: Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium Where to watch: The first T20I will be broadcast on Star Sports Network and live-streamed on JioHotstar. Squads: West Indies: Shai Hope (c), Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Shimron Hetmyer, Akeal Hosein, Amir Jangoo, Shamar Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Keemo Paul, Kamil Pooran, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Quentin Sampson, Romario Shepherd, Shamar Springer Squads: Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS
