'Not much time to experiment': Gill wants India to play World Cup combination next
Digital Desk | New Chandigarh, Oct 4 (IANS) India captain Shubman Gill emphasised that India need to field their World Cup combination from the next series onwards and that there is not much time to experiment with the global showpiece, now only a year away. With India sending a first-choice T20I team for defending the Asian Games gold medal, several automatic ODI players missed the West Indies series. India were also hampered by injuries to Hardik Pandya and Prasidh Krishna, with the latter missing the third ODI due to a left hamstring. Pace talisman Jasprit Bumrah, ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan, Axar Patel and Washington Sundar were also on Asian Games duty, while Harshit Rana was injured as India fielded a mix of first-choice and backup players for the 2-1 Windies series win. In the absence of the first-choice ODI players, opportunities opened for the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Naman Dhir, Anshul Kamboj and Auqib Nabi, while Nitish Kumar Reddy and Gurnoor Brar seem to be the options India are working to groom for the World Cup. Speaking after the game, Gill highlighted that the situation provided the second-string players to put their case forward, while also hoping that India would have a first-choice World Cup combination from the next series onwards, which is an away all-format series against New Zealand with five ODIs, apart from five T20Is and two Tests. It's unfortunate with the injuries and the scheduling of other matches that we have not been able to play the bowling line-up we would have liked to. But that is something that is not in our hands. It is a good chance for the other players, who might not have been in the team if we had the full-strength bowling. So it is a great chance for the other players to showcase their skills, Gill said in the post-match press conference after India lost the 3rd ODI against the Windies by five wickets. However, he felt that time is running fast for too many experimentations. I honestly dont think there is that much time to experiment. The combination that we want to play, hopefully we get all the players that are available from the next series and the combination that we would like to play in the World Cup, we want to start playing with that combination, Gill added. Gill also spoke on debutants Kamboj and Nabi despite their tough outings in the series, as both of them leaked runs. Anshul and Auqib are the kind of players who are going to be in the mix a lot. (With Prasidh injured) we had an opportunity to experiment with another player with the series being in the bag. So, we wanted to take that opportunity. And Anshul is someone who can also bat at number 8. And that number is very crucial for us, he said.

3rd ODI: Fielding and death bowling are key areas of improvement, admits Shubman Gill
Digital Desk | New Chandigarh, Oct 3 (IANS) India skipper Shubman Gill expressed overall satisfaction with his team's 2-1 series-winning performance against the West Indies despite the five-wicket loss in the third and final ODI on Saturday, but admitted that fielding and death-overs bowling remain key areas that need immediate fine-tuning. Opting to bat, India piled up 351 for seven, thanks to a dominant second-wicket partnership of 137 runs between Rohit Sharma (92) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (57), followed by KL Rahuls unbeaten 87-ball 129 - his career-best score in the format. The total, however, proved insufficient as West Indies skipper Shai Hope played a monumental knock of 162 not out at a strike rate of 113.29, and guided the visitors to their highest-ever successful run chase in ODI history and secured their first win over India in the format since 2023. A lot of boxes ticked. I think there are still some areas that definitely need some fine-tuning. I was very happy with the total. I think the game was in control. But being behind four overs with this team and then in the last, I think they took the game away from us. Had we not been shortened the overs, the game might have gone to the last over. Death bowling as well. I feel, sometimes we are not really clear whether we are attacking or we are defending, especially when we are bowling the death overs. One day, such a game, if the opposition is five or six down, you are never really sure what fields to take, whether we are going for the death too early or we are still bowling kind of like middle overs. I think these are some areas which definitely we need to be better at, Gill said in the post-match presentation ceremony. He also shed light on his decision to hold back wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav's remaining overs, explaining that an injury scare to Gurnoor Brar forced a tactical delay. No, not really. We didn't know if Gurnoor was gonna come back and bowl with his cramps. So there was a bit of uncertainty there. And we knew the match was gonna go till the end. And he's a wicket-taker, and I wanted his couple of overs to be there in the end, he said. Speaking about his early dismissal to Jayden Seales, Gill said, You're always disappointed whenever you get out early. But I think today, I don't think I could have done much that I would have done on that ball. Looking ahead to upcoming assignments, including a five-game ODI series in New Zealand in November, Gill stated that the squad must lift its fielding standards and find greater tactical clarity when bowling in the final overs. Decently pleased, I would say, but as I said, I think there are still some areas. Our fielding could be much better. Overall in the series, I think we dropped around six or seven catches, which is not a good sign leading up to the World Cup. You want your fielding to be top-notch, he concluded.

3rd ODI: Rahul's unbeaten 129, Rohit and Gaikwad fifties take India to 351/7 against WI
Digital Desk | New Chandigarh, Oct 3 (IANS) KL Rahul's career-best score of 129 not out off 87 balls, along with fifties from ex-captain Rohit Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad, powered India to 351/7 in the third and final ODI against the West Indies at the new PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh on Saturday. It was a strong recovery for India after Jayden Seales had reduced the hosts to 4/2 inside three overs. From there, Rohit took time before bringing out belligerent shots to hit 92 off 85 balls, laced with ten fours and three sixes. He also shared a 137-run partnership with Gaikwad, who was fluent in hitting 57 off 69 balls studded with a four and four sixes. After the duo fell, Rahul, batting for the first time this series, put on a fine masterclass in middle-order batting by slamming a magnificent century laced with ten fours and six maximums, as he took India past the 350-run mark, something which will really challenge the West Indies. For the visitors, Seales finished with 3-62, while Keemo Paul took 2-71 and Gudakesh Motie had 1-67, though they will be hugely disappointed with six catches split four of Gaikwad and two of Rahul. After the West Indies were put into bowling first, Seales struck in the second over by getting Shubman Gill, who had made a hundred and a double hundred in the first two games, caught down the leg side for one. Virat Kohli walked in and was beaten on the flick by Seales as the delivery held its line to uproot the middle stump and send him back for a duck. Rohit and Gaikwad steadied things, and it was slow going at first. Rohit survived an LBW shout and a West Indies review that showed the ball missing the stumps. India finished the Powerplay on 28/2, among their lowest totals in recent years. Rohit then turned the tempo in the post-first-ten-overs phase by targeting Paul and Alzarri Joseph for boundaries. In the process, he also became the quickest to 10,000 ODI runs as an opener by getting there in 202 innings. Gaikwad made the most of the four reprieves by hitting sixes over mid-wicket and reached his fifty in the 27th over. Rohit got to his own half-century off 58 balls, and the pair brought up the hundred stand when he slog-swept Vitel Lawes for six. Lawes had a miserable day by conceding 54 runs in five overs and later limped off with a left calf problem. Rohit missed out on a hundred by eight runs when he top-edged a pull off Paul to Jewel Andrew, who held a good diving catch at deep mid-wicket. Seales then removed Gaikwad when the ball bounced more than he expected and lobbed a catch to backward point. At 160/4, the game was finely poised, and Rahul ensured India surged ahead. He picked singles and was patient, even as Naman Dhir got his first international cricket boundaries off Seales and then pulled Joseph and Motie for six each. After Dhir chipped to cover off Motie for 30 off 21 balls and ended his 65-run stand with Rahul, the wicketkeeper-batter had reached his fifty off 41 balls by then. Nitish Kumar Reddy struggled for fluency and soon nicked behind off Paul to fall for nine. Debutant Anshul Kamboj lit up the closing stages with two sixes in a single over off Motie, before his 17 off nine balls ended in a run-out after a mix-up with Rahul. Helped by Kamboj and Gurnoor giving strike consistently to Rahul, he was able to take charge in the closing overs -- a short ball on leg stump from Seales in the 49th over was helped over fine leg to get his ninth ODI hundred, off 80 balls. He pulled off his helmet, spread his arms wide and was hugged by Brar at mid-pitch. It was also the ninth individual century of the series, the most in any three-match ODI series. After Rahul lofted Seales down the ground for six, Paul then offered two full tosses that were sent over the leg side for maximums, and Rahul closed the innings with a heave through mid-wicket for two, as India piled up 105 runs in the last 60 balls.

MP Sahney announces Rs 25 lakh bravery award for Capt Machchhar
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Oct 3 (IANS) Rajya Sabha MP Vikramjit Singh Sahney on Saturday announced a Rs 25 lakh Smit Machchhar Bravery Award to honour Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary courage and presence of mind during the life-threatening cockpit attack on a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv. Despite sustaining serious injuries, Captain Machchhar acted with remarkable courage and helped avert a major tragedy, safeguarding the lives of around 170 passengers. Appreciating his exemplary act of bravery and selflessness, Sahney said that such courage represents the finest spirit of India and should inspire the younger generation. Sahney has also written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting that Captain Machchhar be considered for the Ashoka Chakra and a national bravery award. He said that the award would also strengthen efforts towards creating opportunities for underprivileged youth. Free skill training is being provided across nearly 20 courses, including aviation, to thousands of youths in Punjab. As part of this initiative, support had been extended for the pilot training of Kulveer Kaur, daughter of an Anganwadi worker from Barnala, enabling her to undergo training in both India and South Africa. She is now a commercial pilot. Sahney announced that the pilot-training programme for economically disadvantaged youths would be further strengthened through scholarships in Captain Smit Machchhars name, turning his act of courage into an enduring source of opportunity and inspiration. Captain Machchhar believed that being a soldier was not just a profession but a responsibility towards the motherland. He knew that the path of a soldier was full of challenges, danger and sacrifice, but nothing could weaken his spirit. Known for his extraordinary bravery, Captain Machchhar has reportedly emerged as a symbol of courage, determination and quick action.

Punjab AAP question State Congress Chief over silence on drugs, sacrilege
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Oct 3 (IANS) The Punjab Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday questioned the new State Congress President Pargat Singh over his silence on drugs and 'beadbi' (sacrilege) when he was associated with the Shiromani Akali Dal and was the Education and Sports Minister. State Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema asked Pargat Singh to explain why he did not raise his voice against the drug menace and incidents of 'beadbi' during the period when he was associated with the Akali Dal. Drugs and 'beadbi' were among the biggest political issues in Punjab during the Akali Dal (Badal)-BJP rule, yet Pargat Singh did not publicly raise his voice against either issue while he was part of the Akali Dal. The people of Punjab deserve to know why the new State Congress President remained silent on matters that deeply affected the state, Cheema asked. He said that Pargat Singh himself has said that there were two factions within the Congress on the issue of 'beadbi': one that wanted action against those responsible and another that, according to him, was protecting the Badals. Today, as Congress President Pargat Singh must tell Punjab which faction he is leading; the one that wanted justice in 'beadbi' cases or the one that was protecting the Badals, he added. Commenting on Pargat Singh's tenure as the Education Minister, Cheema said, Pargat Singh, as the Education Minister, had been urged to follow the proper legal procedure and route the recruitment of 1,158 Assistant Professors and Librarians through the Punjab Public Service Commission, but the process went ahead despite objections. The recruitment was subsequently set aside by the Supreme Court. He said the incident had caused serious uncertainty for the young people who had gone through the recruitment process. Why were established procedures not followed? Pargat Singh must answer for the decisions taken during his tenure in the Education Department. Cheema added that there is no doubt about Pargat Singh's achievements as a hockey player and his contribution to Indian hockey, but his record as Sports Minister has to be judged separately. Despite his own experience of the requirements of sport and athletes, the sports budget under the previous government remained at around Rs 147 crore. In contrast, the Finance Minister said the Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government has substantially increased the allocation for sports, with Rs 1,746 crore provided in the current budget.
