KSCA Honorary Secretary Santosh Menon: Indian cricket legend and Karnataka icon Rahul Dravid unveiled the trophy for this year's Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 in Bengaluru on Thursday, marking another milestone in the build-up to the fifth edition of Karnataka's premier franchise-based T20 tournament. The trophy unveiling ceremony was attended by KSCA President Venkatesh Prasad, KSCA Honorary Secretary Santosh Menon, Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 Governing Council Chairman M.S. Keshava, KSCA Official Spokesperson Vinay Mruthyunjaya, franchise owners, office bearers, and other distinguished guests of the KSCA. Speaking at the event, Rahul Dravid highlighted the role of the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 in creating opportunities for emerging cricketers and praised KSCA's efforts in strengthening the state's cricketing pathway. The Maharaja Trophy is a very important tournament. Having myself been involved in the IPL for many years, I know for a fact that it is a tournament that is followed by a lot of IPL teams. There will be scouts who come to the games live, but many of them will watch it on television as well. The scores, statistics, and data from these matches are watched very closely, and it really helps a lot of these players get into the IPL. KSCA President Venkatesh Prasad reflected on the significance of the tournament and its continued contribution to Karnataka cricket. The Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 continues to provide an important platform for young players to showcase their abilities, gain valuable experience, and take significant steps forward in their cricketing careers. We are proud to offer a pathway that inspires the next generation of champions and contributes to the continued growth of cricket across Karnataka. Honorary Secretary, KSCA, Santosh Menon, also mentioned three key changes to the playing conditions for the 2026 edition of the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20. The tournament will retain the Impact Player rule, with teams required to submit their playing XI before the toss, to emphasise the role of all-rounders. The competition will also adopt a provision whereby runs will not be awarded if a batter is dismissed off a free-hit delivery, rewarding bowlers for delivering a legal wicket-taking ball after a no-ball. In addition, if an on-field dismissal is subsequently overturned and the batter is found to be not out, any runs completed during the play will be restored to both the batter and the batting team. M.S. Keshava, Chairman, Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 Governing Council, also announced that tickets for the Mysuru leg of the tournament will go on sale from 3:00 PM on June 12. The tickets will be available digitally through the District by Zomato platform, with prices ranging from 100 to 250 to ensure the matches remain accessible and affordable for fans.

'The Shoulder Finally Won': Riyan Parag Begins Road To Recovery After Successful Surgery
Riyan Parag: Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag has successfully undergone shoulder surgery, bringing an end to a prolonged battle with an injury that had troubled him for nearly two years and repeatedly disrupted his cricketing commitments. The 24-year-old had continued to play through discomfort despite recurring shoulder issues affecting him at both the domestic and international levels. The injury had also curtailed his opportunities with India after making his international debut in 2024. Parag admitted that the physical challenge had tested him throughout the last two seasons, forcing him to navigate periods of frustration while remaining available for his teams. He shared the update on social media, confirming that the procedure had gone according to plan and that his focus has now shifted towards rehabilitation and a return to competitive cricket. Well, the shoulder finally won. For everyone whos been asking, the surgery is done and went well. The past two years have tested me in ways I never expected. There were good days, frustrating days, and days when simply getting through a game was a challenge. But I wouldnt have wanted it any other way. Now comes a different challenge- recovery, rehab and patience. Ill be back doing what I love soon. See you on the other side, Parag wrote on Instagram while sharing a post-surgery picture from the hospital. The surgery comes after a demanding phase in Parag's career that saw him assume greater responsibility on and off the field. Earlier this year, he was appointed Rajasthan Royals' full-time captain for IPL 2026 and responded impressively by guiding the franchise into the playoffs in his debut season as skipper. Rajasthan eventually finished third after suffering a narrow defeat to the Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2, falling one step short of the final. Well, the shoulder finally won.

Rohit, Virat's Presence An Advantage For Captain Gill In 2027 WC: Raina
ODI World Cup: Former India batter Suresh Raina touched upon the importance of ODI skipper Shubman Gill having veterans Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's experience by his side in the 2027 World Cup, saying, The presence of experience from the two veterans can make all the difference. Kohli and Rohit, who have retired from T20I and Test cricket, remain exclusively active in ODIs. During the 2019 ODI World Cup, Rohit was the top scorer with 648 runs in nine games at an average of 81.00 with five hundreds and a half-century. He also became the first batsman in World Cup history to score five centuries in a single edition. In the 2023 edition, Kohli was the leading run-scorer, amassing a historic 765 runs in 11 innings. Sachin Tendulkar's record (673 runs) for most runs in a single edition. Kohli was named the Player of the Tournament. Physical and mental preparation will be key for Virat Kohli. He looks very strong in white-ball cricket. The same goes for Rohit Sharma. Both are proven run-scorers in ICC World Cups. Rohit topped the run charts in 2019, and Virat did the same in 2023. They have also won ICC trophies, which adds immense value to their leadership and presence. They know how to handle pressure in knockout games. They have been there, done that, Raina said on JioStar. Experience matters in big tournaments. The young batters around them will benefit from their guidance. For Shubman Gill, captaining India in a World Cup, having Rohit and Virat alongside him will be a huge advantage. Their experience will be invaluable on and off the field. In a high-pressure tournament like the World Cup, that kind of presence can make all the difference, he added. Meanwhile, former spinner and coach Anil Kumble praised Gill for not letting the captaincy affect his batting. Shubman Gill is a very experienced captain. We have seen it in the IPL, he has rotated his bowlers well, used his spinners at the right time, and handled pressure situations with clarity. His form with the bat has not dipped. Sometimes, when players take up the captaincy role, they go through a dip in form. That is not the case with Shubman. He does not let the pressure of captaincy affect his batting. What helps him is the presence of experienced players around him. The Indian ODI team is very strong. Having players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma on the field helps him read the game better. They can guide him with field placements, bowling changes, and key tactical decisions. Shreyas Iyer is now the T20I captain, and he can share his inputs as well. So, Shubman doesn't have to carry the burden alone. He has the right mindset and the right people around him to succeed, he said. Shubman Gill is a very experienced captain.

The Kerala Police has launched a synchronized anti-narcotics enforcement campaign titled Operation Toofan, positioning frontline police units at the vanguard of the mission. Operating with direct tactical, administrative, and data assistance from regional intelligence cells and state administrative departments, the Kerala Police force has established a unified command structure to target interstate supply corridors. This extensive mobilization resulted in the registration of more than 1,500 cases, the execution of more than 1,000 arrests, and the recovery of substantial quantities of synthetic contraband within the first 72 hours of field deployment. The man behind Operation Toofan, Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala The operation's success relied on a carefully timed blueprint. Two weeks before the academic year started, Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala finalized a strategy designed to catch school-zone traffickers off guard. Police units then began quietly mapping out the networks. The moment students went back to class, the trap snapped shut, shifting from silent surveillance to aggressive field arrests across state lines. The word Toofan knows no geographic or linguistic borders. Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala explained why the administration chose a name with pan-India resonance. Kerala, today is a rapidly evolving global hub, welcoming a massive workforce of guest workers from various states, IT professionals, and international tourists. We chose a name that instantly communicates our absolute zero-tolerance policy to everyone who steps into the stat e, Chennithala said. The official launch of the campaign took place at Cotton Hill Girls Higher Secondary School in Thiruvananthapuram. Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan inaugurated the function, which was presided over by Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala. The event saw massive participation from students, parents, police officials, and the general public, capturing immense public attention right from the school venue. From that very moment, social media platforms began flooding with viral campaigns backing the crackdown, creating a digital wall of solidarity against the drug networks. On the ground and across the internet, the operation triggered an unprecedented wave of public support, with citizens courageously stepping up to flood police tip lines and use secure digital nodes to share real-time, actionable information about local peddlers. IG Putta Vimaladitya , took to official social media pages, using the native language to personally ask the public for help. Two days into the campaign, the Home Minister stepped in to launch special mobile and WhatsApp hotlines, guaranteeing complete anonymity to anyone passing on information about local dealers. Rather than just booking local buyers, the state police focused on finding the drug network at its source. The crackdown included highly unusual incidents, such as a suspect who hid a packet of ganja inside a boiling pressure cooker, only for the cookers whistle to emit a strong odor that alerted searching officers. In another case, a tech worker caught growing cannabis claimed the plants were meant for making kitchen chutney. To dismantle the wider syndicate, investigators used pictures found in seized phone galleries to trace the supply lines backward. This root-level approach led teams straight to the top, resulting in the interstate arrest of two major foreign kingpins, Samuel in Delhi and Elsina in Bengaluru. Operation Toofan: The Narco Hunt uses a four-pillar system to fight drugs. Under Toofan Strike, specialized police teams and supporting departments launch smart, targeted raids at border check posts to stop chemical drug shipments. For health and recovery, Toofan Care links the police with medical departments to provide rehabilitation and clinical counseling for those dealing with dependency. To protect students, Toofan Warriors uses the Student Police Cadet network and local youth under the Education Department to closely monitor school and college campuses. As part of this initiative, Kerala Police organizes specialized awareness classes for students to educate them against drug abuse under Operation Toofan. To turn this into a massive state movement, the Home Minister and high-ranking officials plan to personally visit as many schools as possible to deliver the anti-drug message. Furthermore, all campuses have been asked to hoist the Toofan campaign flag to declare themselves as drug-free zones. Additionally, every student across campuses has been asked to wear the Toofan Warrior badge, declaring their commitment to actively protecting their campuses. The operational framework of this unique drug hunt, Operation Toofan, relies heavily on strategies previously established by Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala. A senior national figure within the Indian National Congress and a permanent invitee to the Congress Working Committee, Chennithala has adapted successful mechanisms from his earlier landmark campaigns, most notably Operation Kubera. Launched during his previous tenure, that courageous enforcement drive successfully eradicated the state's predatory illegal money-lending network.
