Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday took to the streets in Bengaluru, leading a JD(S) foot march from the party headquarters to Freedom Park demanding the immediate arrest of those allegedly behind a sting operation targeting former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

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.

Keralam: CBI arrests key accused in international cyber fraud and ATM card smuggling case
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested Muhammed Fasal K, a key accused in an international cyber fraud and ATM card smuggling syndicate, from his residence in Thamarassery, Kozhikode on Saturday. The case relates to a Rs 1.04 crore cyber fraud reported in July 2024, in which a Thrissur-based complainant was allegedly duped by fraudsters posing as FedEx officials and cybercrime police. The victim was forced to transfer Rs 1,04,40,111 on the pretext of verifying his bank account. The CBI investigation uncovered an international network that allegedly purchased debit and ATM cards from young people and students for Rs 3,000 to Rs 7,000 each and smuggled them to Dubai.

15-ball key to success: How taking time has made Sanju Samson more lethal in T20s this year
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.

Addressing the gathering, the actor used humour to acknowledge her presence in his life and spoke about the importance of having a supportive partner while taking creative risks. Radhika was present at the event to support Yash, who is set to portray Ravana in the upcoming film. Referring to the different characters he has played, including Rocky from the KGF franchise, Yash acknowledged his wife before drawing a playful comparison with the term Sitapati. And our Sita is right here, Radhika! Be it Ravana, be it Raya, be it Rocky, be it Raja Huli... whatever it is, when coming home... he said. 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. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana: Part One is produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash under Monster Mind Creations. The film is scheduled to release in cinemas worldwide on November 5, 2026.

'Very tempted to play': Nayar backs Sooryavanshi's inclusion as opener in 5th T20I
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 17 (IANS) Former India cricketer Abhishek Nayar is tempted to bring in teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for the fifth and final T20I of the ongoing series against the West Indies, but wants the youngster to play at his original opening place and not below that. India have played with nearly the same teams throughout the four T20Is, with the top order featuring Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan. That has meant the 15-year-old has to warm the benches in all the matches till now, and he has not played an international match on home soil so far. Sooryavanshi has played in eight T20Is, and all of his outings have come in overseas conditions, as India have gone with their tried and tested top three at home. Former India assistant coach Nayar discussed India's combinations for the must-win fifth T20I against the Windies as the series stands locked at 2-2. He called for inclusion of Kuldeep Yadav and was eager to bring in Sooryavanshi but could not find a spot anywhere other than the opening slot. I think India are in a Catch-22 situation. I'll take a punt and try and go the Kuldeep Yadav way (for the fifth match). So, I may replace Naman Dhir with Kuldeep Yadav and get Nitish and Axar one place up. Axar Patel has also played that role of a floater really well for Team India when he has been sent up. I am very tempted to play Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. But are you going to play him out of position? If Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is playing, then he plays in his strongest position, which is opening. And if he is opening, then whoever is number three should also be playing in his strongest position. However tempted I may be to see Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, that too in Bengaluru in such good conditions, I will make changes in the bowling, not in the batting at all, Nayar told JioStar. He also discussed Samson's strong knock of 56 from 23 balls as India were chasing 248 as Abhishek Sharma was struggling. In the beginning, it was a very good strategic call, with Sanju Samson taking the strike. After that, the way he was batting, it felt like he was setting himself up for a big one because he was in control. His base was good, along with control, and his head was steady. It felt like that dangerous Sanju was back in his rhythm in the last game. He will take this confidence into Bengaluru, and I feel this Indian team will be in a much better position because a lot of the batters are in form. It's only a matter of them delivering together, he said. While Samson put up a strong performance, Ishan Kishan was dismissed early for six, and Abhishek had a rare struggle for his 29 runs as he took 24 balls. Yes, Abhishek Sharma wasn't in his greatest of flows, but Sanju Samson took over. That start, even though India didn't get that result, is invaluable because you could get close. So, you want to take that confidence going forward and say, if Sanju can bat for a few more overs, then in the next game, India will be sitting pretty in making sure they win the series 3-2, he added.

Airfares soar as Ayudha Puja holiday rush builds in Chennai
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 17 (IANS) A sharp rise in airfares ahead of the Ayudha Puja and Vijayadashami holidays has left passengers travelling from Chennai facing higher expenses, as demand surges for journeys to hometowns and tourist destinations. With Ayudha Puja falling on October 19 and Vijayadashami on October 20, the adjoining weekend offers a four-day holiday break for many travellers. The extended holiday has prompted a rush out of the city, putting pressure on flights, trains and buses. Air ticket prices from Chennai to several destinations have increased manifold amid the holiday demand. Passengers heading to cities within Tamil Nadu, neighbouring states and major metropolitan centres are among those affected by the steep fares. Routes witnessing the increase include ChennaiThoothukudi, ChennaiCoimbatore and ChennaiSalem. Fares have also risen for flights to Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Vijayawada, affecting passengers travelling across southern India during the festive break. The surge extends to longer routes, with tickets from Chennai to Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata also becoming considerably more expensive. The increase across multiple destinations has added to the financial burden of passengers planning festive visits or short holidays. The holiday rush is visible across other modes of transport as well. Trains and buses leaving Chennai are experiencing heavy crowds, as large numbers of residents seek to reach their destinations ahead of the celebrations. For passengers considering air travel amid the crowded surface transport services, the higher ticket prices have made the journey more costly. The demand for flights coincides with the broader movement of people leaving Chennai for the extended break. The convergence of festival travel and weekend leisure trips has intensified the outward rush. While many passengers are returning to their native places to celebrate with relatives, others are using the consecutive holidays to visit tourist destinations. The fare increases affect both short domestic journeys and travel to distant cities, leaving passengers on a wide range of routes facing substantially higher ticket costs during the same holiday period. With crowds building on trains and buses and airfares climbing across several sectors, travellers leaving Chennai face a difficult combination of busy services and expensive flight tickets. The four-day break has concentrated demand into a short travel window, making the festive getaway a costly exercise for many passengers seeking to spend the holidays away from the city with family or friends.

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.
