NEET paper leak, cancellation proof of structural flaws; abolish test, says TN CM
Chennai, May 13: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay on Wednesday said that the NEET exam paper leak and cancellation of the test was proof of structural flaws and demanded that it be abolished and states permitted to fill seats on their own based on Class 12 marks. Vijay said the cancellation of the exam following the alleged leak of the question paper has shattered the hopes of lakhs of medical aspirants across the country. In a statement, the CM said this was not the first time NEET has been compromised. In 2024, the question paper was leaked and FIRs were registered across six States and transferred to the CBI. Pursuant to the directions of the Supreme Court, the Union Government constituted a High-Level Committee of Experts under Dr K Radhakrishnan, former Chairman of ISRO, which submitted 95 comprehensive recommendations for reforms. Despite all this, within two years, another paper leak has occurred and the examination has been cancelled. This is conclusive proof of flaws and structural flaws in a national level exam, he alleged. The government of Tamil Nadu has been consistently and unanimously opposing NEET since its very inception. The introduction of NEET has severely disadvantaged the students from rural areas, government schools, Tamil medium backgrounds, and socio-economically disadvantaged families, he said. The CM reiterated what he said was the state's long pending demand to abolish NEET and urged the union government to permit the states to fill all seats under the state quota in MBBS, BDS, and AYUSH courses on the basis of Class 12 marks. The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG 2026) was conducted by the National Testing Agency on May 3, 2026 across 5,432 centres. In Tamil Nadu alone, the examination was held across 31 cities. As many as 22,05,035 candidates appeared for the examination, including approximately 1.4 lakh candidates from Tamil Nadu. The National Testing Agency cancelled the examination with the approval of the Government of India, following investigations by law enforcement agencies into the alleged leakage of the question paper. The matter has been referred to the Central Bureau of Investigation for an inquiry, the CM added in the statement.

'We Need To Forget This Game As Quickly As We Can': Vettori After Loss Against GT
Chennai Super Kings: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) head coach Daniel Vettori urged his players to quickly move on from their crushing 82-run defeat to the Gujarat Titans and focus on bringing fresh energy into their remaining IPL 2026 fixtures against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). SRH were bowled out for just 86 in 14.5 overs while chasing 168 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday, as Kagiso Rabada and Jason Holder shared six wickets between them. Addressing the team in the dressing room after the defeat, Vettori said the immediate priority was to leave the performance behind and focus on preparation for the remaining league games. I think we've got two challenges moving forward. The first challenge is to forget this game as quickly as we can because it actually holds no relevance for the next two fixtures that we have on surfaces that we're very acclimated to, Vettori said in a video released by SRH on X. So, this performance happened today, and obviously there'll be some disappointment, but there's not much we can take out of it that actually propels us forward to the next game, he added. The former New Zealand captain also highlighted the difficulty of maintaining intensity during the latter stages of a long tournament and admitted the team looked mentally and physically drained in the field. And at the back end of these very long tournaments, we're not a roller coaster, but we've been on top a lot. We've had a couple of blips. It's hard to actually push yourself, Vettori observed. And I think today in the field, I saw a group that looked maybe a little tired, maybe a little bit off the ball, and whether that translated into our batting, who knows? he said. Vettori stressed that SRHs preparation and energy levels before the upcoming clash against CSK would be crucial. The only thing that I want or the coaches want or Paddy wants is that when we hit training, you're ready to go and you have an understanding of how you want to prepare, he stated. Because I think that will be a difference maker for us going into that game against Chennai, and then if we get it going there, we can take it on to the game against RCB as well, he added. The SRH coach also encouraged players to take responsibility for their preparation and mindset ahead of the decisive matches. So the ball's in everyone's court now to relax, rest up, and then when we turn up together in Chennai, what sort of energy can you bring? Vettori said. The SRH coach also encouraged players to take responsibility for their preparation and mindset ahead of the decisive matches. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Meanwhile, after this defeat, SRH have moved down to the third position in the points table with 14 points in 12 matches.

IPL 2026: Macneil Noronha Replaces Injured Ramakrishna Ghosh In CSK Squad
Colonel CK Nayudu Trophy: Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have named Karnataka batting allrounder Macneil Noronha as replacement for Ramakrishna Ghosh, who has been ruled out of the remainder of IPL 2026 due to a right foot injury sustained against Mumbai Indians on May 3. Macneil Noronha will join CSK for INR 30 lakh as a replacement for Ghosh, said the IPL in a statement on Wednesday. Noronha, 24, joins CSK with strong credentials from domestic cricket. He was recently honoured with the MA Chidambaram Trophy at the Naman awards this year for finishing as the highest rungetter in the 2024/25 Colonel CK Nayudu Trophy. His performances earned him a callup to the Karnataka squad for the 2025/26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he featured in three matches, scoring 58 runs and picking a wicket. Noronha also impressed in the Maharaja Trophy last year, scoring 253 runs at a strikerate of 148.82 for the titlewinning Mangaluru Dragons. Apart from hitting 19 sixes in 13 games, Noronha contributed with the ball as well, taking 10 wickets with his off spin at an economy rate of 7.44, including figures of 2-25 in the final against Hubli Tigers. He replaces Ghosh, whose IPL debut ended in misfortune with a seasonending fracture suffered at Chepauk earlier this month. His performances earned him a callup to the Karnataka squad for the 2025/26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he featured in three matches, scoring 58 runs and picking a wicket.

CSk Have Decent Chance To Be In Top 4; For RR A Lot Depends On Sooryavanshi's Performance: Chawla
Chennai Super Kings: Piyush Chawla reckoned that Chennai Super Kings have a decent chance to break into the top four as their three-match winning streak has given them the necessary momentum in the race for the playoffs. After starting the season with three straight defeats, the five-time champions successfully revitalised their campaign by winning three of their next five matches, eventually finding their peak form to secure three consecutive victories in their most recent outings. The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side are currently sitting fifth in the points table with 12 points in 11 games, four points behind the leader Gujarat Titans. I feel Chennai have a decent chance. We talk a lot about momentum in T20 cricket, and they have that after winning their last three matches. They are playing some really good cricket. Their batters are doing the job, but it is the bowlers, Anshul Kamboj, the spin duo of Noor and Akeal Hosein, and Jamie Overton in the middle overs, who are making the difference, Chawla said on JioStar. In their last match against Lucknow Super Giants, for the first time since 2018 CSK had accomplished a chase in excess of 200. After LSG posted a total of 203/8, CSK, in reply, raced to 97 at the end of the powerplay, their second highest in the IPL, with Urvil Patel (23-ball 65) leading the way. Skipper Gaikwad scored a handy 42 as well. Shivam Dube (15* off 7 balls) and Prashant Veer (17* off 12 balls) applied the finishing touches as the Men in Yellow breezed past the target with four balls in hand. They are restricting teams to totals in the 180-200 range. A score of 200 has become the norm, but when you restrict teams to scores below that, the batters also have breathing space, and CSKs bowlers have managed to provide that of late, he added. Skipper Gaikwad scored a handy 42 as well.
