IND vs WI 5th T20I Prediction, Match Preview And Playing XIs
IND vs WI 5th T20I, Cricket Tips: The fightback shown by West Indies in the ongoing five-match T20I series against India is commendable. Not many predicted that the No. 7-ranked T20I side would give a tough team to the world champions in their own conditions. That has certainly raised the excitement bar for the series decider. The final game will begin at 7 PM IST on Saturday at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. West Indies have never won a bilateral T20I series in India, and this is a golden chance for Shai Hope and his men. India will be under pressure, and the injury to Arshdeep Singh must have broken their combination. But Bhuvneshwar Kumar is back on the side, and his experience will be important at this stage. IND vs WI: Match Details Date : October 17, 2026 (Saturday) Time : 7 PM IST Venue : M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, BengaluruI ND vs WI: Live Streaming Details Indian fans need to tune into the Star Sports Network to watch the live action of the final game. For the live stream, fans can switch to the Jio Hotstar app or website. IND vs WI: Head-to-Head in T20Is Total Matches: 35 India : 22 West Indies : 12 No-result: 1 IND vs WI: Ground Pitch Report Just like the matches on this tour, the wicket in Bengaluru is also flat. It is a six-hitting venue and a paradise for the batters. This venue has nothing for the bowlers and it will be difficult to defend a total here. IND vs WI: Possible XIs India : Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Shreyas Iyer (c), Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Naman Dhir, Axar Patel, Mayank Yadav, Prince Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar West Indies: Jewel Andrew, Shai Hope (c & wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, Roston Chase, Keemo Paul, Shamar Springer, Shamar Joseph, Gudakesh Motie IND vs WI: Player to Watch Out For Probable Best Batter Shai Hope has bagged multiple MOTM awards on this tour, and India have found it tough to get him out. Sanju Samson has slammed two 20-ball half-centuries, and on his day, he can be unstoppable. Probable Best Bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Roston Chase will be two bankable bowlers for this game from either side. Today Match Prediction: West Indies will be high on confidence, but we might see India strengthening their bowling unit. That is where we give India an edge in the final game.

GV Prakash Kumar joins Ramayana as a singer: I got a call from AR Rahman
Composer, singer and actor GV Prakash Kumar has revealed that he has lent his voice to Yashs Ravana in Nitesh Tiwaris Ramayana. In an exclusive conversation with India Today Digital, GV Prakash opened up about how he became part of the film, revealing that he received an unexpected call from his mentor AR Rahman shortly after returning from Ayodhya. The opportunity came as a surprise for the musician, who described being associated with the epic as a significant experience. GV Prakash had travelled to Ayodhya for the launch of Awadhiya Ke Raja, a song from his recently released Hindi film Nayyi Navelli, starring Yami Gautam. His first visit to the city became even more memorable when he received the call inviting him to sing for Ramayana. He said, The moment I came back from Ayodhya, I sang a song for Ramayana. It was surreal. I never expected that, he said. Recalling how the opportunity came about, he added, I didn't know beforehand. While I was coming back from the airport, I got a call from AR Rahman asking me to come and sing. GV Prakash Kumar, who is AR Rahmans maternal nephew, began his musical journey as a child singer in his uncles compositions before establishing himself as a composer and singer. However, his association with Ramayana was specifically as a vocalist. He also disclosed that he has lent his voice to Yashs character, Ravana, adding another detail to his involvement in the film. Reflecting on the opportunity, GV Prakash said, The world of the film is what drives us to it. I'm happy to have done a small part in the film. I'm a singer; I was called to sing for Ramayana. It was a huge thing for me to be part of this film, he said. The musician also spoke about his first visit to Ayodhya, which had taken place just before the recording opportunity came his way. Explaining why the team chose the city for the song launch, he said, We launched the song in Ayodhya, so we thought it would be special to go there and launch it. It was my first time in Ayodhya, and it was very special for me to be there, he said. During the conversation, GV Prakash also discussed his approach to composing music for films, explaining that the script and the filmmakers vision guide his decisions about the sound. First, it's the genre, then the story, and then the sound. The sound is derived from the script. The first narration is very important because that's where we decide the sound, its structure and the sound world of the film, he explained. His association with Hindi cinema includes projects such as Anurag Kashyaps Gangs of Wasseypur and Akshay Kumars Sarfira, followed by Nayyi Navelli. He also expressed admiration for composer Hans Zimmer, naming him as someone he would like to collaborate with. With Zimmer involved in the music of Ramayana, GV Prakashs singing contribution brings him into the musical world of a project connected to that aspiration. Meanwhile, the second trailer for Nitesh Tiwaris Ramayana: Part 1 was unveiled in Bengaluru on October 15. The promo features Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, who vows to destroy evil, while Yashs Ravana declares himself the ruler of the three realms. It also offers glimpses of Sai Pallavi as Sita and Jatayus attempt to stop Ravana.

Gill To Captain India In First Three ODIs Against NZ, Iyer To Lead In Last Two Games
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Keeping in mind the short turnaround time between the Test and ODI series against New Zealand, ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer will take charge for the final two games after Shubman Gill leads the visitors in the first three matches. While Gill leads the 16-member setup for the opening three fixtures with Iyer as his deputy, a reshuffle in the last two games will see Iyer elevated to the captaincy role. Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan, who features in both squads, has been named vice-captain for the fourth and fifth ODIs. Senior batting stars and former captains Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be available for the entire duration of the ODI series, alongside all-rounders Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel, and Naman Dhir. Regular wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul, along with pacers Anshul Kamboj and Prasidh Krishna, whose inclusion for the opening phase remains subject to fitness and recovery from his left hamstring injury, will feature only in the first three ODI matches before they take off to prepare for the Test series. For the final two ODI games, the selectors have drafted left-handed batter Tilak Varma and pacer Auqib Nabi, while Jharkhand wicketkeeper-batter Kumar Kushagra and fast bowler Yash Thakur, who has played T20Is so far, have been handed their maiden ODI call-ups. Other members in the ODI squads are left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh, seamer Mohammed Siraj, and left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav, alongside tall pacer Gurnoor Brar and right-handed batter Ruturaj Gaikwad. Contrary to various speculation, theres no recall for senior pacer Mohammed Shami or Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who was added to the squad for the fifth T20I against the West Indies in Bengaluru and will be in the T20I series in New Zealand starting on October 22. The five-match ODI series between India and New Zealand will kick off on November 4, at Eden Park in Auckland, and is followed by the second ODI at Basin Reserve in Wellington on November 7. The action then shifts to Seddon Park, Hamilton, for the third match on November 10, before the series concludes with back-to-back games at Mount Maunganui on November 13 and 15, respectively. All five matches of the series are scheduled to start at 7:30 AM IST.

Bengaluru FC, Chennaiyin FC Ready To Ignite High-stakes Battle Of The South
Indian Super League: Two former winners, Bengaluru FC and Chennaiyin FC, will renew their rivalry in the Southern Derby when they meet in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2026-27 at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday. The hosts enter the derby riding high after a thrilling 3-2 victory over Sporting Club Delhi, while Chennaiyin head to the fortress following a gritty 1-1 away draw against FC Goa. Bengaluru, who won the title in the 2018-19 season, showed attacking threat and resilience in their opener. Borja Martnez scored twice, including a 75th-minute equaliser, before Menno Koch headed home the winner in the 89th minute. However, conceding twice has given head coach Pep Muoz areas to address. We have to be stronger in duels, Muoz said, reflecting on the opening game. He acknowledged that Delhi had found ways to trouble his side and stressed the need to improve defensively. He also described Chennaiyin as an intense, direct team with dangerous forwards. Muoz highlighted the depth of his squad, saying: You look at the bench. You have a lot of options, offensive options, defensive options, players that can change the game. Bengaluru will look to maintain their second-half momentum while tightening up at the back. Head coach Clifford Miranda has stressed the need to limit Bengalurus attacking space. We have to defend in a way that doesn't allow them much space. In the end, the most important thing is to stay compact and not give the opposition space and time, Miranda said on the eve of the match. Chennaiyin FC, the two-time ISL winners in 2015 and 2017-18, will aim to combine defensive discipline with greater efficiency in attack. The fixture carries a rich history. Chennaiyin defeated Bengaluru 3-2 in the 2017-18 ISL final at the Kanteerava, while Bengaluru claimed a 2-1 away win in the sides final meeting last season through Serto Worneilen Koms 89th-minute strike. Chennaiyin defender Namgyal Bhutia will also face his former club.

5th T20I: Bengaluru Weather Threatens To Wash Out Series Decider Between India-West Indies

The downpours are expected to continue over the next few days, and the same is the case for Saturday, the match day for the fifth contest. As per Accuweather, there are 90% chances of precipitation in Bengaluru on Saturday. Going by hourly predictions, the weather forecast points to significant chances of precipitation from the afternoon onwards. At 12 noon, there are only 11% chances of rain, while they increase to 34% over the next two hours.

5th T20I: India Look To Keep Home Pride Intact As Rainy Bengaluru Awaits (Preview)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: India will be looking to keep their long unbeaten record at home intact as the reigning two-time champions face former double T20 winners West Indies in the fifth and final T20I of the series at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday, with rain around. The high-scoring feast series has seen 220-plus totals vulnerable. The Windies have chased 250, defended 247 by 24 runs and came close to the 224-run target in three of these four contests. The series has tested bowlers left, right and centre and India's bowling has been under the scanner. What will be the life after Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya? The answer remains unsolved as of now. A near full-strength Indian team, sans Bumrah, Hardik and Washington Sundar, has been put to the test. Shai Hope is having one of the most successful series from a visiting player in India. He has already hit four centuries on the tour - two in ODIs and two in T20Is - and has been the difference between the two sides almost on ebery occasion. Whenever he has gone unbeaten, the Windies have won those three games on this white-ball tour. He has hit 539 runs in five games and with another possible run feast awaiting in Bengaluru, Hope will hope to flex his muscles once more. If the Windies manage to win this game too, they will become the first team to beat India in India in a T20I series since they lost to Australia 0-2 in February 2019. Meanwhile, India have been bolstered by the addition of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, whose IPL home stadium is the M Chinnaswamy Stadium for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. He has been added as injury cover for Arshdeep Singh, who was hit on his bowling arm while batting in the last over of the previous match in Hyderabad, where India came close to chasing 248. Bhuvi was earlier added to India's T20I squad for the five-match series in New Zealand. India would also look to Sanju Samson, who has scored two half-centuries in this series. Abhishek Sharma has looked solid in the third T20I but had a rare struggle in the fourth match when he made 29 from 24 balls. There is a possible threat of rain intervening in this clash, with showers predicted. If not for the rain showers, sixes raining are almost on the cards, and India would want to lead in the number of maximums if they have to keep their home record intact. When: October 17, 7:00 PM Where: M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru Where to watch: The match will be shown live on the Star Sports Network channels on TV, and live streaming is available on the JioHotstar app and website.

Student dies after jumping from 6th floor in B'luru's GITAM University; police probe underway
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 16 (IANS) A 20-year-old BTech student died after allegedly suspiciously jumping from the sixth floor of a building at GITAM University in Nagadevanahalli village in Bengaluru Rural district, police said on Friday. The deceased has been identified as Varshitha, a native of Guntakal in Andhra Pradesh. She had reportedly been staying in the university hostel for the past six years and had been pursuing the B.Tech course for the last three years. According to preliminary information, Varshitha allegedly went to the sixth floor of the building and jumped from there on Thursday night. Although depression is suspected to have been a possible reason for her death, several questions have arisen over the circumstances surrounding the incident. Doddaballapur Rural police rushed to the spot and launched an investigation. Considering the seriousness of the case, the Superintendent of Police also visited the spot. The police inspected Varshitha's hostel room and took her mobile phone into custody as part of the investigation. Her parents have been informed about the incident and are on their way to the spot. Bengaluru Rural SP Chandrakanth M.V. said there were reports that Varshitha had a medical history, which would be verified as part of the investigation.

Based on the preliminary probe, police said Nayana made a video on her phone apologising to her parents before taking the extreme step. No death note was found with her or in the hostel room. The police stated that the girl's family members were also clueless about the motive. It can also be recalled that a 24-year-old final year engineering student from Uganda died after falling from the 6th floor of the hostel campus of GITAM University. Police had to resort to a lathi charge to disperse the students who were protesting. The victim was identified as Haseena. The incident happened in April 2022. She is alleged to have slipped and fallen while trying to pick up a piece of cloth that had fallen on the asbestos roof of the neighbouring building. From the 6th floor, she fell on the first floor. She was rushed to a nearby hospital, where the doctors declared her brought dead.

While batting in the final over of the 248-run chase, Arshdeep was hit on his bowling arm off a bouncer from Shamar Joseph. The Indian seamer was in pain and batted the next ball before getting retired hurt as the Windies won by 24 runs to level the series. Meanwhile, Bhuvneshwar was previously sent a call-up for India's T20I series against New Zealand, which begins on October 22 in Christchurch.

Protests don't hurt businesses, govt restrictions do: CJP's Abhijit Dipke
Businesses do not suffer because of peaceful protests but when the government shuts down an entire city, suspends internet and restricts citizens' movement, Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijit Dipke said on Friday. In a post on X, Dipke defended the party's commitment to peace and non-violence ahead of its proposed 'Lehra Do Tiranga' march at Central Park in Connaught Place. The CJP had organised protests in Mumbai, Pune, Jaipur, Lucknow, Bengaluru and Nagpur, and all of them were peaceful, he said. Dipke said he was personally assaulted in Jaipur but chose not to retaliate, since responding to violence with violence went against the movement's principles. We would rather exercise the rights guaranteed to us by the Constitution, drafted under the leadership of Dr B R Ambedkar, than resort to physical force, he said. Rejecting attempts to portray CJP members as anarchists, Dipke said demanding answers from the government, protesting against injustice and questioning publi

B'luru court sentences ex-excise official to 5 years in money laundering case; daughter gets 3 years
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 16 (IANS) A Special Court in Bengaluru has sentenced retired Excise Guard and in-charge Sub-Inspector M. Ramachandra to five years of rigorous imprisonment and his daughter, R. Yurekha, to three years in a money laundering case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The court also ordered the confiscation of five immovable properties to the Central government, the official statement said on Friday. The verdict was pronounced on October 14 by the Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge and Special Judge for CBI Cases, Bengaluru (CCH-48), in Special Criminal Case No. 357/2016, registered by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Bengaluru Zonal Office. The court imposed a fine of Rs 5 lakh on Ramachandra and Rs 3 lakh on Yurekha. It ordered the confiscation of five properties under Section 8(5) of the PMLA. Observing that the offence affected society at large, the court did not order separate compensation. The case originated in a disproportionate assets investigation by the Karnataka Lokayukta Police. An FIR was registered on July 7, 2009, under Sections 13(1)(e) read with 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The check period covered July 1, 1977, to July 8, 2009. The ED registered an Enforcement Case Information Report on October 26, 2009, and initiated a money laundering investigation. In March 2016, it provisionally attached eight properties valued at about Rs 1.09 crore. It filed its prosecution complaint in June 2016, leading to PMLA proceedings. The conviction follows an earlier judgment in the underlying corruption case. On November 8, 2024, the trial court in Special Criminal Case convicted Ramachandra under the Prevention of Corruption Act, sentencing him to three years of rigorous imprisonment with a fine of Rs 50 lakh. His disproportionate assets were assessed at Rs 42,48,188.50, reported in the case record as 97.75 per cent of his known income. The ED's investigation found that Ramachandra had misused his position in the Excise Department to accumulate assets disproportionate to his known sources of income. The investigation traced unexplained cash deposits in bank accounts held by him and his family members, as well as deposits into Kwality Wine Centre, a liquor business owned by Yurekha. According to the investigation, cash deposits at the liquor shop rose from Rs 70,000 in 2001-02 to Rs 83.9 lakh in 2008-09. The funds were allegedly used to acquire immovable properties. The investigation also found that Ramachandra had used his official position to facilitate a liquor licence in his daughter's name. The licence was transferred to Yurekha in 2001, when she was still in college. A fee of Rs 4.5 lakh and rent of Rs 50,000 were reportedly paid, with the rent said to have been paid by her grandmother. However, no supporting records were found. Yurekha declared the liquor shop's income in her income tax returns, presenting the funds as business earnings. She purchased land in Hunsur in 2007. The court treated this land as proceeds of crime in light of the finding in the underlying corruption case that Ramachandra had funded the liquor licence. However, a site in Bengaluru's Yelahanka locality, purchased using the liquor shop's income, was excluded from the properties ordered to be confiscated. The court held that the prosecution had proved the money laundering charges against both accused under Sections 3 and 4 of the PMLA. It applied the presumption under Section 24 of the Act, finding that the accused had failed to rebut it with evidence. Their explanations about the sources of funds used to acquire properties were unsupported by documents. These included claims that their mother had financed construction in Vijayanagar and that Sharada had purchased certain sites. Yurekha was found to have knowingly assisted in holding property acquired with the proceeds of crime in her name. While deciding sentences, the court considered the offence a white-collar economic crime with significant social impact. It also took into account Ramachandra's age of around 72 and Yurekha's family circumstances as mitigating factors before imposing the sentences. The court ordered five immovable properties to be confiscated under Section 8(5) of the PMLA.
