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

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 4 (IANS) Indias supercomputing capabilities are expanding rapidly, with the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) enabling wider access to high-performance computing for applications ranging from artificial intelligence and weather forecasting to healthcare, disaster management and space research, the government said on Sunday. Indias supercomputing journey has evolved significantly since the development of PARAM 8000 in the early 1990s, with the country now building a national high-performance computing ecosystem under the NSM, launched in April 2015. As of September 2026, the mission has deployed 40 supercomputers with a combined computing capacity of 68 petaflops (PF), strengthening access to advanced computing infrastructure across research and academic institutions. The government said high-performance computing is increasingly essential for accelerating scientific discovery and technological innovation, particularly as Indias digital ecosystem continues to generate large volumes of data. India generates nearly 20 per cent of the worlds data, while emerging applications such as artificial intelligence, weather prediction, climate modelling and space research require increasingly powerful computing infrastructure. Supercomputers enable massive datasets to be processed and complex simulations to be conducted at much faster speeds by combining large numbers of processors to perform calculations simultaneously. This makes them critical infrastructure for advanced scientific research and strategic applications. The government said HPC is already supporting applications with direct societal benefits, including crop-yield prediction, disease-outbreak tracking, drug discovery and forecasting areas likely to be affected by river floods. The technology is also being used across areas such as Computational Biology, Weather Prediction and Climate Modelling, Disaster Management, Big Data Analytics and Astrophysics, helping researchers tackle increasingly complex scientific and technological challenges. The National Supercomputing Mission was launched with an outlay of around Rs 4,500 crore and is jointly steered by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). The mission aims to strengthen self-reliance in supercomputing and build indigenous high-performance computing capabilities in India. It promotes the use of supercomputing for research, development and problem-solving across a range of scientific and technological disciplines, while also developing solutions for societal applications. The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Pune, and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, are implementing the mission. Under the NSM, India is also developing indigenous technologies covering servers, software, cooling systems and networking, alongside expanding its supercomputing infrastructure.

Shedge Links Up With India A Squad For One-dayers Against Australia A As Pandyas Replacement
Suryansh Shedge: Seam-bowling all-rounder Suryansh Shedge has been drafted into the India A squad as a replacement for injured Hardik Pandya for the upcoming three-match one-day series against Australia A, starting here on Tuesday. Hardik, who was named in the squad last month, but subject to fitness clearance, was ruled out after experiencing discomfort in his right calf on September 19. An MRI scan later revealed that he has very mild intramedullary edema, which is equivalent to suffering right medial tibial stress syndrome. Yes, Shedge has joined the India A squad as a replacement for injured Hardik. Shedge had a quadriceps injury and was recovering from it at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, a source tracking developments told IANS on Sunday. Shedge, 23, made his international debut during India's T20I tour of Ireland in June this year and featured in the T20I series against England and Zimbabwe, though hes yet to take a wicket. He also impressed during the India A 50-over tri-series in Sri Lanka in June this year, scoring 147 runs in five matches while chipping in two scalps in 23 overs. His inclusion in the India A team means Shedge will miss Mumbai's opening Ranji Trophy game against Chandigarh at the Wankhede Stadium, starting on October 11. Middle-order batter Naman Dhir will also miss the 50-over series against Australia A after being drafted into India's T20I squad for the upcoming five-match series against the West Indies as a replacement for Washington Sundar. Sundar, the off-spin bowling all-rounder who was a member of the Asian Games gold medal winning team in Japan, has been released from the T20I squad to play Ranji Trophy for Tamil Nadu as part of preparation for the Tests against New Zealand, to be played in November. Ruturaj Gaikwad will lead the India A side in the 50-over matches scheduled to be played on October 6, 9, and 11 respectively. The first one-day match will now begin at 2 PM, with gates opening for fans at 1pm, while the second and three matches will begin at 9am. Sundar, the off-spin bowling all-rounder who was a member of the Asian Games gold medal winning team in Japan, has been released from the T20I squad to play Ranji Trophy for Tamil Nadu as part of preparation for the Tests against New Zealand, to be played in November.

Shai Hope sets multiple ODI records with record 162 in New Chandigarh
West Indies captain Shai Hope etched his name in the record books with a magnificent 162 as he registered the highest individual score by a West Indies batter in a successful ODI run chase, powering his side to a historic five-wicket win over India in the third and final ODI here on Saturday. Hope's unbeaten 162 off 143 balls, studded with 17 fours and three sixes, surpassed Chris Gayle's 162 against England at St George's in 2019 to become the highest score by a West Indies batter in an ODI run chase. The 31-year-old also became the first West Indies batter to score 150 or more in a successful ODI chase against India, while his effort is the highest individual score by any batter in an ODI run chase against India. He went past Tillakaratne Dilshan's 160 in Rajkot in 2009, with Andrew Strauss' 158 in Bengaluru in 2011 and Sanath Jayasuriya's unbeaten 151 in Mumbai in 1997, completing the previous top scores.

Ktaka: C&AG seeks action against KAS officer over remarks on Gruha Lakshmi audit
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 3 (IANS) The Accountant General (Audit-I), Karnataka, Jahangir Inamdar, has written to Chief Secretary Shalini Rajaneesh seeking disciplinary action against Karnataka Administrative Service (KAS) officer N. Mahesh Babu over alleged vulgar and threatening remarks against the Accountant General (AG) and the Principal Accountant General in connection with audit findings related to the Gruha Lakshmi scheme. In the letter accessed by IANS, Inamdar sought verification of the remarks attributed to Mahesh Babu, Managing Director of the Karnataka State Women's Development Corporation, and requested the government to initiate disciplinary proceedings against him under the applicable Conduct Rules and CCA Rules if the allegations are found to be true. He also sought directions requiring the officer to tender an unconditional public apology to the Accountant General and the Principal Accountant General, Karnataka. The development comes after the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG) reportedly flagged the alleged misuse of around Rs 225 crore under the Gruha Lakshmi scheme, including the transfer of funds to accounts allegedly belonging to deceased and fictitious beneficiaries. According to the letter, media reports carried remarks attributed to Mahesh Babu in which he allegedly used derogatory and threatening language against the Accountant General and called for him to be physically assaulted. The letter described the alleged remarks as a matter of grave concern. Inamdar invoked the constitutional position of the C&AG and said the issue was not merely a personal dispute involving two officers. The C&AG is a constitutional authority under Article 148 of the Constitution. At the same time, the audit of state receipts and expenditure is carried out under Article 149, read with the Comptroller and Auditor General's (Duties, Powers and Conditions of Service) Act, 1971. C&AG reports are laid before the state legislature under Article 151(2). The letter stated that an attack on the Accountant General and the Principal Accountant General while they were discharging their official duties amounted to an attack on a constitutional institution and on the legislature's right to receive information regarding the expenditure of public money. Inamdar said the alleged remarks would be unacceptable from any citizen and were particularly serious as they were attributed to a serving KAS officer heading the corporation implementing the scheme under audit. He said such conduct, if established, would violate Rule 3 of the Karnataka Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 1966. Inamdar added that such a statement had implications for financial propriety and the neutrality of the administration during an election period. He requested that the matter be examined independently of the alleged abusive remarks. The letter stressed that the objective of the audit of the Gruha Lakshmi scheme was to ensure that government funds reached the women for whom the scheme was intended. The sole objective of the audit of the scheme has been to ensure that the money reaches the women for whom it is meant, Inamdar said. He added that this objective could be achieved by facilitating the audit and acting on its findings rather than abusing those reporting them. He warned that public remarks allegedly targeting a constitutional authority could damage the audit process and undermine the credibility of the state's institutional mechanisms for ensuring accountability. Inamdar has therefore urged the Karnataka government to verify the remarks attributed to Mahesh Babu without delay and take appropriate disciplinary action if they are established. He has also sought an unconditional apology from the officer in the same public domain in which the alleged remarks were made. Inamdar clarified that the inputs on the Gruha Lakshmi scheme were furnished to the state government in response to a request from the government and were provided through an official D.O. letter. The letter had specifically stated that the audits had not reached the reporting stage and that the inputs were based on preliminary observations from a partial audit of limited data. They were therefore not to be treated as final audit conclusions, he said.
