India Sometimes Get Carried Away With Trying To Find Hardik's Replacement: Gavaskar
The West Indies: India legend Sunil Gavaskar, while discussing key takeaways from the T20I series against the West Indies, stated that Team India sometimes get a little bit carried away with trying to find a replacement for Hardik Pandya. The West Indies' wait for a first bilateral series win in India since 2002 continues, as the final T20I between India and the tourists was called off after 46 balls of the India innings due to rain. Gavaskar suggested that India need to play with at least four full-time bowlers, with the fifth and sixth being the all-rounders. The T20I series against the West Indies was an opportunity for India to test their bench strength. Mayank Yadav and Prince Yadav made their case with the ball, but Naman Dhir emerged as the tour's most interesting find. In Bengaluru, a six-ball cameo offered a glimpse of his batting potential. Until then, it had been Dhir's off-spin that had made the stronger impression. We didn't get to see the bowling. It would have been interesting to see how the Indians bowled in this nine-over game. The takeaway from the series is that, in their bowling, they have to play with at least four regular bowlers. A fifth bowler and a sixth can be your all-rounders, somebody who can bat as well, Gavaskar said on JioStar. Somebody like Naman Dhir, who's more of a batter but who can come in and bowl two or three overs. Axar Patel, who can bowl his four overs. We sometimes get a little bit carried away with trying to find a replacement for Hardik Pandya. Hardik Pandya is irreplaceable. If you can't find somebody of his calibre, then go with somebody who will do a slightly different job, he added. In a rain-marred 9-over-a-side game in Bengaluru, Naman Dhir hit three sixes in his six balls, helping India to 118/5 at the 7.4-over mark, before rain stopped play. Somebody like Naman Dhir, who's more of a batter but who can come in and bowl two or three overs. Axar Patel, who can bowl his four overs.

'Both Teams Played Best Cricket, 2-2 Result Fitting': Nayar
The West Indies: Former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar said that a shared trophy between India and the West Indies was a fitting conclusion to a fiercely contested series, arguing that reducing the contest to a shortened, nine-over shootout would have been an unfair way to determine the winner. The two sides finished their five-match T20I series level at 2-2 after persistent rain brought the Bengaluru decider to an early end on Saturday, with only 7.4 overs of play possible. Just looking at how this series has panned out, I feel it deserves to be 2-2 in a lot of ways because both teams played really good cricket. It would have been really unfortunate for the series to come down to a nine-over game to decide which team actually takes that cup away, Nayar told JioStar. With both sides having registered two victories apiece before the final match, the series had reached a stage where the last encounter was set to decide the destination of the trophy. However, the weather in Bengaluru denied either team the opportunity to settle the contest on the field, leaving Nayar to reflect on the performances across the preceding matches rather than the abandoned finale. It is fair to say that both teams have played the best cricket they could, and to end this series 2-2 is a statement of how well both teams have played and how tough a series it has been for Team India at home. The West Indies should be proud because when they came in, it felt like India would easily beat them. While India would have fancied their chances with seven overs, I think it was a perfect end to a good series, he added. However, the weather in Bengaluru denied either team the opportunity to settle the contest on the field, leaving Nayar to reflect on the performances across the preceding matches rather than the abandoned finale.

Springer Earns Maiden WI Test Call-up As Paul Withdraws With Personal Reasons
The West Indies: The West Indies have called up Shamar Springer into their Test squad for the upcoming series in Bangladesh, handing the seam-bowling allrounder his maiden Test call-up after Keemo Paul returned home for familial reasons. Springers inclusion of the squad for the two-match series added another option to the West Indies pace-bowling attack and lower-order batting. Shamar Springer has earned a maiden call-up to the West Indies Test team for the tour of Bangladesh. Springer replaces Keemo Paul, who will return home for personal & family reasons, Cricket West Indies said in a statement. CWI also said, Ojay Shields & Nial Smith were also among those considered but were ruled out of contention due to injuries. The 28-year-old all-rounder has represented the Windies side in three ODIs and 12 T20Is but has yet to feature in Test cricket. His first-class record, however, offers a glimpse of his all-round capabilities. Across 23 matches, Springer has accumulated 1,043 runs at an average of 32.59 and claimed 58 wickets at 27.87. He also produced impressive returns with the bat during the 2026 West Indies Championship, scoring 251 runs in four matches for Barbados at an average of 50.20. His bowling returns were comparatively modest, with seven wickets coming across eight innings at 42.00. Both Paul and Springer were part of the West Indies recent white-ball tour of India. The visitors lost the three-match ODI series 2-1 before drawing the five-match T20I contest 2-2, with the final T20I in Bengaluru abandoned due to rain on Saturday. The West Indies will begin their Test series against Bangladesh with a three-day warm-up fixture in Dhaka from October 22 to 24. The opening Test is scheduled at Mirpur from October 28 to November 1, followed by the second match in Sylhet from November 5 to 9. Both Paul and Springer were part of the West Indies recent white-ball tour of India. The visitors lost the three-match ODI series 2-1 before drawing the five-match T20I contest 2-2, with the final T20I in Bengaluru abandoned due to rain on Saturday.

5th T20I: Could Have Been Different Had We Bowled Better, Says Iyer After India Share Series With WI
Shreyas Iyer: India captain Shreyas Iyer on Saturday conceded that the scoreline of the T20I series against the West Indies could have been different if his bowlers had bowled better in two games. The series ended in a 2-2 scoreline after the decider here was washed out due to rain at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Rain forced the fifth and final match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium to be called off with India on 118/5 in 7.4 overs in a 9-overs-a-side contest. It could have been different considering we would have bowled better in the second and fourth game. Credit where it is due, they batted well. The way Hope batted throughout the series. The ability to bounce back even after a loss. We have that aggressive mindset the way we play, said Iyer at the conclusion of the series. On teenage batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has had to wait for his chance with India's opening slots locked down, Iyer said the youngster needed to stay patient and stick to his processes. I just keep telling him you will get the opportunity; if you are consistent about your processes, you have to wait sometimes. We have got two fantastic openers; that's the conversations we have been having with Vaibhav. With India heading straight to New Zealand for a T20I series beginning on Thursday, Iyer brushed aside concerns over the packed schedule. It is just like another day, even constantly travelling in India. We have been doing that pretty well. The washout denied the West Indies a chance to get their first series win in India since 2002, after they had lost the ODI series 2-1. Hope, who was named Player of the Series after hammering two centuries in four games, said his side had come agonisingly close to achieving a series win. Not enough at this point. We were very close. Something that we haven't done in 20+ years. We are certainly progressing. The success does not mean a series win. I can (see) quite a few positives.

5th T20I: Rain Washes Out Decider As India, West Indies Share Series 2-2 (Ld)
Nitish Kumar Reddy: The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium's long wait for staging international cricket after two years ended in an anticlimax as rain forced the series-deciding fifth and final T20I between India and the West Indies to be called off in Bengaluru on Saturday, with the five-match series ending at 2-2. The match was abandoned at 10:16 pm after India had made 118 for 5 in 7.4 overs. But with no possibility of a five-over chase of 84 for the West Indies before the 10:21 pm cut-off, the players soon exchanged hugs and handshakes in the dressing rooms. The washout denied the West Indies a chance to get their first series win in India since 2002. The visitors, however, could take heart from how they fiercely competed over the last three weeks, first in the ODIs and then in the shortest format. It was always going to be a close call for a full game to happen given the forecast, though there was some hope in the morning when the probability of rain fell from 70 to 30 per cent. But persistent drizzle through the evening, however, kept the ground staff away from getting the venue ready, leading to a delay in the scheduled toss at 6:30 pm. The rain finally relented around 8:30 pm, allowing the toss to take place and the match to be reduced to nine overs a side with a 9:15 pm start time. The crowd, which waited patiently for hours, was treated to only a brief burst of action, led by Ishan Kishan's blistering 30 off 10 balls, laced with three fours and two sixes, and some late hitting from Naman Dhir, who hit an unbeaten 24, before the rain had the final say. The drizzle, which had resumed midway through Indias innings, grew heavier soon after Shamar Springer cleaned up Tilak Varma in the eighth over, thus forcing the umpires to call for covers to be put on the pitch and square area. Put into batting first, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar making a return after 1437 days and Shivam Dube included in place of Mayank Yadav and Nitish Kumar Reddy, who was ruled out due to an illness, India were made to work hard early on as Keemo Paul extracted movement with the new ball. The all-rounder, though, lost his radar briefly, overstepping and then conceding five wides down the leg side in the same over. Abhishek Sharma swung and missed at the free hit, but sent the next ball sailing over deep mid-wicket for six. His stay, however, ended when he flicked the following delivery straight to Shamar Joseph at mid-wicket to depart for six. Top-ranked T20I batter Kishan then took charge by plundering 24 runs off a wayward Romario Shepherd's first over, including a breathtaking scoop on one knee over fine leg that cleared the Chinnaswamy roof. Shamar Joseph had Kishan (30 off just 10 balls) caught at mid-on off a cleverly disguised slower ball, but Sanju Samson kept the momentum going, his boundary bringing up India's fastest team fifty in T20Is in just 2.5 overs, before he uppercut a wide ball for six. Springer, however, sent the off-stump of Samson (16) on a cartwheel ride with his very first delivery, while Shreyas Iyer laboured to 22 off 14 balls, surviving a run-out chance and a dropped catch by Sherfane Rutherford before Paul had him caught at deep mid-wicket on a miscue. Dhir then provided the late fireworks by smashing 16 off his first three balls via whipping and lofting Paul for sixes, while thumping him over mid-off for four. He remained unbeaten on 24 off six balls. Paul had figures of 2-34, while Springer returned with 2-17, before rain came again to interrupt the proceedings and eventually had the final say.

Ktaka sugarcane protest: Shivakumar meets farmers, to convene meeting with stakeholders
Digital Desk | Belagavi, Oct 17 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Saturday said he would convene a meeting of sugar mill owners, farmer leaders and Central government officials next week to discuss the problems faced by sugarcane growers and explore a lasting solution to their demands, including an increase in the price paid for sugarcane. Appealing to the protesting farmers to call off their agitation, Shivakumar said the state government was putting pressure on the Centre to address their grievances and would hold discussions with all stakeholders to find a solution that safeguards the interests of both farmers and sugar factories. I will convene a meeting with sugar factory owners, farmer leaders and Central government officials next week, after Dasara. I fold my hands and appeal to the farmers to withdraw their protest, he said while meeting sugarcane growers who were undertaking a padayatra demanding an increase in the minimum support price for sugarcane in Kittur, Belagavi district. Shivakumar said the issue could not be resolved by the state government alone, as the Centre, banks and sugar factory owners also had important roles to play. He said he would meet Central ministers and make efforts to ensure that the farmers' concerns were addressed. The problems of farmers cannot be resolved by the state government alone. The Central government, banks and sugar factory owners also have a role to play. A permanent solution can be found only when everyone sits together and discusses the issues, he said. Expressing solidarity with the protesting farmers, the Chief Minister said he was prepared to visit them wherever they called him and even stay alongside them during their agitation. I am ready to come wherever the farmers call me. I am thinking about your welfare and am prepared to sleep on the streets alongside you. I will sleep on the mat you provide and accept the roti you offer, he said. Describing farmers as the backbone of society, Shivakumar said they worked without salaries, pensions or promotions and deserved security for their livelihoods. He said he had travelled from Bengaluru to Kittur to understand their problems and acknowledged the hardships they were facing. Farmers are our gods. You feed us and nurture us. You do not have salaries, pensions or promotions. The government must support you in securing your livelihoods. I have come from Bengaluru to understand your problems, and I understand the pain and difficulties behind your agitation, he said. The Chief Minister said he had already spoken to farmer leader Choonappa Poojari over the phone and obtained information about the issues confronting sugarcane growers. He added that the Cooperation, Agriculture and Sugar ministers had been sent to Delhi to hold discussions with the concerned authorities. He had also held discussions with the Sugar Minister to understand the farmers' difficulties. Shivakumar said the government needed to examine the difficulties faced by sugar factories while addressing the farmers' demand for better prices. According to him, sugar mill owners had raised concerns over financial losses, electricity procurement, production costs and differences in the regulatory mechanisms governing the industry in other states. Some factories were reportedly facing difficulties in continuing their operations. He said he had questioned sugar factory owners about their problems and stressed that the government would have to consider the interests of both farmers and the industry while arriving at a solution. Efforts had been made to resolve the problems faced by sugar factories during the previous government led by Siddaramaiah, he said, adding that the present government would also work to prevent factories from reaching a situation where they were forced to shut down. If the factories survive, farmers will also benefit. We must find a solution keeping the interests of both farmers and factory owners in mind, Shivakumar said. He assured the farmers that the proposed meeting would discuss the price of sugarcane, the possibility of assistance through an increase in the minimum support price and other measures to provide relief to growers. He said the government would also approach the Union government to seek support for the farmers. Earlier, speaking to the media at Belagavi airport later on Saturday, Shivakumar said the sugarcane growers' agitation was not confined to Karnataka and that the Central government had also constituted a committee to examine the issue in consultation with various states. Thousands of farmers are protesting. We are aware of their difficulties and problems. We have already sent representatives of our government for discussions, and talks have also been held in Delhi. I have personally met the farmers and understood their concerns, he said. He said Union Minister Pralhad Joshi, who represents Karnataka, was also engaged in discussions with representatives of other states, as the issue affected sugarcane growers beyond Karnataka. We are putting pressure on the Centre to fulfil the farmers' demands, he said. Shivakumar said a meeting with sugar factory owners had been planned earlier but could not take place due to certain reasons. The government intended to hold discussions with both farmers and factory owners before deciding on the next course of action. Asked about the demand for an increase in sugar prices, he said the problem had persisted for the past 10 to 12 years and required discussions with all concerned stakeholders before an appropriate decision could be taken.

5th T20I: Rain Delays Toss In India-West Indies Series Decider In Bengaluru
Cricket West Indies: Persistent rain has led to the toss being delayed in the fifth and final T20I between India and the West Indies at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Saturday. The covers remained firmly in place as the scheduled 6.30 pm toss time approached, and match officials soon confirmed the delay. The drizzle grew heavier shortly after and threatens to cause a washout in the venue staging its first international game in two years. The toss has been delayed for the fifth and final T20I between the West Indies & India in Bengaluru due to rain, said an update from Cricket West Indies (CWI). Both teams had reached the ground as per the usual scheduled, but have been forced to stay off the field without beginning their warm-ups, and are instead seated in the dressing rooms. The stands were about half full, with the DJ keeping the fans entertained. The city has been lashed by showers over the past few days with the North-East monsoon setting in, and more rain is forecasted for the night. But the stadiums much-vaunted SubAir drainage system, which helped rescue the India-New Zealand Test in October 2024, offers hope of a quick resumption once the rain relents. The game also marks Bengaluru's return to the international cricket calendar after a long hiatus. The venue had been sidelined since the deadly stampede in June 2025 during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL title celebrations, which led to 11 people losing their lives. There is plenty riding on the contest, with the series currently locked at 2-2. India, the current Mens T20 World Cup holders, would be keen to avoid a second successive bilateral series defeat to the West Indies, after having lost 2-3 to them away from home in August 2023. Skipper Shai Hope has spearheaded the visitors batting by topping the run charts with 261 runs, including two hundreds coming in victories. India, on the other hand, have relied on a collective batting effort. But the returns have been uneven, with the batters blowing hot and cold through the first four games. There is plenty riding on the contest, with the series currently locked at 2-2.

Despite drought and diseases, farmers around Bengaluru achieve good pomegranate yield
Ishan Kishan: India's wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan on Saturday brushed aside talk of his status as the world's top-ranked T20I batter, saying he would rather keep the numbers out of his head and simply savour the pressure of playing the series decider against the West Indies at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday. With the five-match series locked at 2-2, the left-hander said he had little interest in where he stood on any list at this stage of his career. Both teams are yet to commence warm-up due to persistent rain in what is also the first international game in Bengaluru after two years. Nah, I mean, at this early stage in my life, I don't want to look into stats where I stand, if I'm a number 1 batter or I'm a number 100 batter. It's just one game at a time you take, and you just try to play your best cricket. I personally love to keep all these stats aside because I don't want to get into any thought where I'm thinking about, okay, I am number one and I need to play in a certain way. It's not that - you just need to go in the middle and you need to enjoy as much as you can. And especially in these situations where it's a decider game, where pressure is there, you need to enjoy those moments, leave everything aside, and that's how we prepare here, Kishan said in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. Kishan, who will be Indias vice-captain in 4th and 5th ODI against New Zealand next month, described the team's build-up to the series decider as neither too tense nor too relaxed, and said the side was relishing a high-stakes contest after a while. No, its like somewhere in the middle of both. But I know it's a decider game. We have not been in this situation recently, and so happy to be in this situation because always a decider match, it comes up with pressure. It comes up with expectations and everything, and this is what we want when we go into bat. You don't want to be, like, in a situation where it doesn't matter so much. So very much happy to be in this situation. But the most important thing is we all look in good frame of mind, which is the most important thing for each player, and we look to just play good cricket. The message in the dressing room, Kishan said, was to shut out thoughts of the result. I mean, looking at this situation, it's just about playing your best game and not thinking about what's gonna happen. Like, not gonna think about the result. The message is simple: to just play your game, have that aggression in the field, have that intent, have that winning attitude, and just play your best game. India's bowlers have had a tough time against the West Indies batters in the series, but Kishan refused to hide behind the batting-friendly surfaces or single out individuals for the shortcomings and called for them to click as a cohesive unit in Bengaluru. I mean, to be very honest, I feel the wickets also have been very good here. But at the same time there's always room for improvement. We cannot always give it to wickets or everything. But at the same time, I feel we all as a team, we need to work together. It's not like someone had a bad day, and we'll be like, whatever happened, has happened because of that particular guy or something. It's our preparation, it's the team preparation we look into, and all of us need to be together at any point of time. I mean, to be very honest, I feel the wickets also have been very good here. But at the same time there's always room for improvement. We cannot always give it to wickets or everything. But at the same time, I feel we all as a team, we need to work together.

As India takes on West Indies in the T20I series decider in Bengaluru on Saturday, all eyes will be on Sanju Samson, who fired an aggressive half-century during his side's massive 248-run chase at Hyderabad in the previous match. The opening pair of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma will be crucial for India's fortunes as usual, with the series hanging in the balance at 2-2. Sanju will be in focus even more so. Despite his inconsistency in the format, Samson is known to score big once he settles, and the '15-ball formula' has played an immense role in the opener's success this year. Sanju has enjoyed a rich run of form for India this year, including three back-to-back fifties during the T20 World Cup this year, during which he was crowned 'Player of the Tournament' for lighting up India's title win with crucial knocks against WI in the Super Eights, England in the semifinal and the final against New Zealand. These innings highlighted how much of a threat Sanju becomes once he settles. T...

In-form Hope Doesnt Throw His Bat Away, Plays Proper Cricket Shots, Says Chanderpaul
West Indies T20I: West Indies skipper Shai Hope's recent run of big scores in the ongoing white-ball series against India has come without him sacrificing the orthodox method that defines his batting, said legendary batter Shivnarine Chanderpaul on Saturday. Chanderpaul, currently playing and coaching the West Indies champions in the World Championship of Legends, described Hope as a more mature and confident player who finds the gaps rather than swinging wildly. Hope has been in stellar form, scoring four centuries across three ODIs and four T20Is against India. With the T20I series locked at 2-2 ahead of Saturday's decider in Bengaluru, it will be critical for India to dismiss Hope quickly. Look, his all-round cricket has developed. You can see, he is scoring much freer. He is more confident now. He can go out and express himself early on. Yes, he is not going to go as a crazy guy out there and throw his bat away. He played proper cricket shots, and he hit proper boundaries. He hit them in the good areas. What you call proper cricket shots is that he just doesn't go out there and swipe - he hits it well. He hits it into the gaps and finds his boundaries. Whenever it is pitched up and he can hit it over the top, he hits it over the fielders. But he has developed over the years. He is much more mature now. He is more confident in going out and playing his game, Chanderpaul said to IANS in a virtual interaction facilitated by Cricketaaa on Saturday. According to Chanderpaul, much of the evolution of Hopes batting, especially in the shortest format, was shaped by honing his skills on the slow, spin-friendly pitches of Providence Stadium, where Hope turned out for the Guyana Amazon Warriors in the Caribbean Premier League. Look, Shai Hope has played a lot of cricket in Guyana. He played for Guyana Amazon Warriors. He has learned how to bat on those wickets. If anybody could score runs in Providence, Guyana, they could score runs anywhere. He learned how to play spinners there, how to score and bat really, really well. Mostly against any bowlers, right? Because if you can score runs in Guyana, you can score runs anywhere. He developed his cricket really well. There are a few other guys who came from Guyana Hetmyer, Rutherford, Shepherd, Motie and Shamar Joseph are there. All of them are from Guyana, right? So, these guys know how to play on those sorts of wickets. The pacer will bowl one over, and then the spinner will take over. So, you learn to bat against spin from those sorts of wickets. Even as he praised Hope, Chanderpaul stressed that the West Indies could not afford to lean on one or two players, and pointed to the depth of match-winners in the current side. But then, the West Indies team also have other players there. You have Rovman Powell, and all the other guys who are in the team right now who also are match winners. So, at any given point, these guys can win you matches. As much as you call on two names, yes, who's performing now, yes, Shai Hope is doing well and helping his team to get over the line, which is really good. But you have other guys in the team also who are match winners. So, we can't overlook those guys either. They are there, and they will contribute, and they can win matches by themselves anytime also. On the spread of franchise T20 leagues around the world and the future of the all-format cricketer looking bleak, Chanderpaul said the leagues had become a valuable platform for spotting talent. It's good that we have T20 formats all around the world because this is how you get a chance to see all the cricketers. Like in the past, we didn't need our country to put us out there. Now we have so many different leagues opening in every part of the world. So, now you get a chance to see more players. Players are still active, playing cricket, and that's what you want to see. You want them out there being active, playing cricket, and then you can pick up your players to play for your country. If you think they are good enough to play and represent their country, yes, definitely, you will get a chance to grab them. But if you don't have all these leagues out there, then it's difficult to see all these players. I mean, everybody around the world is watching cricket, and there are a lot of teams who are keeping their eyes on talented players that they can grab for their teams also, and these leagues are also helping to do these things, he elaborated. Chanderpaul, who played in the early seasons of the IPL and in three T20 World Cups, said the format had changed beyond recognition since the days when teams had little data to work with. Look, T20 cricket has definitely gone a long way from when I first started in the IPL. At that time, we were just trying to figure out what would have been a normal score, what could be a par score, or a winning score. You're trying to work out everything here and there. There's not much stats out there to tell you that this is a par score on this or that ground. There are no stats from that time there. Yes, I played three T20 World Cups. But there were not many stats that tell you what would be a winning score on whichever ground you play on. But now there's a lot of information out there, and players are now developing way more shots than we played back then, and they've been successful doing it. Scores have been changing from 150 as a winning score to 250 sometimes. Still, people try to knock off those big scores also. So, it shows that the game definitely for batters has gone a long way. T20 cricket is all about playing shots and making big scores. Players have really been doing well playing this format. So, look, it's gone a long way. It's changed a long way, and it's really exciting for everyone, all the fans out there and everyone who's watching. In Sharjah, Chanderpaul himself had a vintage batting display when his unbeaten 41 off 27 balls, with three sixes, carried West Indies Champions past Australia Champions in the semi-final of the World Championship of Legends and will face England in the final on Sunday. Chanderpaul, who has been doubling up as player and coach, said he had not planned on batting, but injuries left the side short. I came in, and we didn't have much batting. So, we have a few guys who are injured and end up playing the rest of the guys who are on the bench. I made up the numbers, and I didn't expect much from myself out there. But I am thankful that I was able to give the team what they needed at that point of time when in a crucial game like this one. West Indies Champions franchise owner Ajay Sethi said the team's progress over three seasons reflected the hunger of its veterans, and compared Chanderpaul's strokeplay against Australia to that of a young Sachin Tendulkar. I came in, and we didn't have much batting. So, we have a few guys who are injured and end up playing the rest of the guys who are on the bench. I made up the numbers, and I didn't expect much from myself out there. But I am thankful that I was able to give the team what they needed at that point of time when in a crucial game like this one.

Yash then joked about the way surnames are used, saying, Nowadays we put our surnames on women, but in that era it was the reverse, Sitapati! Isn't it? Just like that, we are Radhikapati! Yash on the importance of support at home Moving beyond the light-hearted remark, Yash spoke about how support at home helps him explore unconventional ideas and take on challenging roles. Reflecting on his decision to play Ravana in Ramayana, he said, Wherever you go, I think if you don't have that strength at home, if you don't have that support... because of our crazy ideas, the experiments we do... now, after all this, I'm going and playing Ravana! His comments offered a glimpse into the personal support system behind his work, as he prepares to take on a character that differs from some of his best-known roles. Yash has previously gained recognition for playing Rocky in KGF and Raja Huli in the Kannada film of the same name.
