Pharma racket: Karnataka SIT raids 10 locations across 6 states
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 11 (IANS) The Karnataka Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing the fake pharmaceuticals racket that was recently unearthed in Dodderi on the outskirts of Bengaluru in Ramanagara district, conducted raids at 10 locations across India. The raids were conducted at multiple locations in Karnataka, Haryana, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh and Telangana on Friday. The operation was carried out jointly by the SIT and the Drugs Control Department as part of the ongoing investigation into the alleged counterfeit medicine network. Raids were conducted at multiple locations in Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Mumbai, Chennai and Telangana. Around 80 to 100 officials and staff members are involved in the searches, which targeted offices, properties and other premises linked to companies allegedly involved in manufacturing, repackaging and supplying counterfeit medicines. In Bengaluru, searches were conducted at the premises of pharmaceutical company at Minerva Circle near Lalbagh as part of the probe. Officials are examining medicines allegedly sourced from different locations and subsequently repackaged or supplied through the network. The investigation has reportedly revealed an international connection, with counterfeit labels allegedly being sourced from foreign locations. The raids were conducted in continuation of the investigation into the racket that came to light around two weeks ago. Investigators are examining the supply chain, sources of the medicines, manufacturing and repackaging facilities, as well as the distribution network. The case came to light in August 2026 after the Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA) and local police busted a major counterfeit medicine racket near Bidadi in Ramanagara district. Authorities seized counterfeit medicines estimated to be worth around Rs 5 crore and uncovered an alleged unlicenced repackaging facility operating from a farmhouse in Kurubara Karenahalli, near the Bidadi toll gate. According to the investigation, low-cost, substandard or expired medicines were allegedly sourced from different states. The medicines were reportedly transferred into new vials and repackaged using counterfeit labels bearing the names of expensive and prominent multinational pharmaceutical brands before being sold at substantially higher prices. The racket assumed greater significance after authorities found that some of the counterfeit medicines were allegedly intended for use in hospital Intensive Care Units (ICUs). The drugs were reportedly supplied to private hospitals and pharmacies at prices nearly 50 per cent lower than the market rates. Karnataka Health Minister, U.T. Khader, had described the case as a major drug mafia operation and ordered steps to investigate the suspected inter-state network. The formation of the SIT was aimed at identifying the wider network and tracing those involved in sourcing, repackaging, labelling and distribution of the medicines. The latest raids across six states are expected to help investigators establish the extent of the alleged network and identify other individuals and companies involved in the supply of counterfeit pharmaceuticals. Officials are also examining the alleged international links and the source of the counterfeit labels as part of the continuing investigation.

Sivakarthikeyan's 'Seyon' unit wraps up second schedule of shooting
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 11 (IANS) The makers of director Sivakumar Murugesan's eagerly awaited Tamil film, 'Seyon', featuring actor Sivakarthikeyan in the lead, on Friday announced that the unit of the film had now wrapped up its second schedule of shooting. Raaj Kamal Films Interational, the production house of actor Kamal Haasan which is producing the film, took to its social media timelines to put out a video clip announcing the completion of the film's second schedule. It wrote, # (The second stage of courage's victorious journey has now been completed #Seyon) #VetrivelVeeravel #Varendi #KamalHaasan #Sivakarthikeyan. It may be recalled that Sivakarthikeyan had taken a short break in Ooty ahead of the gruelling second schedule in Madurai. The actor had a few days ago posted pictures of himself seated alone on a jeep and enjoying the serenity offered by the mist-surrounded mountains in Ooty. Posting the pictures on Instagram, he had said, A pause. A breeze. A little peace. For the unaware, the makers of the film had on June 10 this year announced that the unit had wrapped up the first schedule of shooting. Raaj Kamal Films International, the production house producing the film, had taken to its social media timelines to announce the completion of the first schedule. It wrote, From passion to progress #Seyon First Schedule Wrapped. # #VetrivelVeeravel #Varendi. The film officially went on floors in Madurai with a grand pooja ceremony that was graced by several celebrities including actor Kamal Haasan on May 18 this year. Produced by Kamal Haasan's RaajKamal Films International and Turmeric Media, the film features actress Baghyashrii Borse as the female lead. Interestingly, this will be Baghyashrii Borse's first direct Tamil film. A day before the official launch of the film, director Sivakumar Murugesan had taken to his X timeline to share a video clip showing him and the core crew of the film meeting Kamal Haasan at his office and signing the agreement. The director, sharing the video clip, had said, Tomorrow, #SEYON Begins Its Journey. Sivakumar Murugesan, in the video clip, was heard saying, I have longed and wondered if whether I could get an autograph of Kamal sir. But today, Kamal sir has given me an autographed 80-page agreement. The film has triggered huge interest in fans and film buffs ever since the makers released a glimpse video from the film called The Celebration earlier this year. The Celebration video showcases an incident that happens on the second day of the Maasi Kalari festival that is held at the Karumaathur Virumaandi Temple. The incident in question is shown taking place two hours after a major scuffle at the festival. A group of people gather at the local police station, even as the constable explains the situation to the inspector. He informs that a major fight had broken out at the festival even as the inspector begins inspecting those who have gathered at the station. He finds a group of young men with half tonsured heads and asks them what happened. The constable explains that the young men with half tonsured heads behaved in an indecent manner by flashing laser lights at dancers at the festival and making reels out of it. Therefore, somebody bashed them up and tonsured half their heads, he explains. The inspector then asks another man from another group as to why he was beaten. He says he was asked what play they were to stage at the festival and he had informed them that he was to stage the devotional Valli Thirumanam (Valli's wedding to Lord Murugan) and therefore, he too was bashed up. The reply makes those locked up in prison wonder if the person who bashed up the theatre artiste was an atheist. But then another man clarifies, He is not an atheist. In fact, he is the one who gets possessed by the divine spirit of Virumaandi. The cops realise that everybody from the neighbouring villages are there save one and that is the people of Karumathur, who are carrying out the procession. The others try to stop the procession but according to custom, the procession must not be stopped. The procession proceeds and the inspector happens to see Sivakarthikeyan in a possessed state and prays to him... The celebration video gives the impression that the story will be set in Madurai. The makers also disclosed that the film would release in October this year. The film, which will feature Sakarthikeyan in a power-packed and dynamic new role, will be a grand rural commercial entertainer. The film marks a significant reunion between Sivakarthikeyan and Raaj Kamal Films International. Their collaboration for this film comes on the heels of the blockbuster success of their earlier film 'Amaran', which garnered both critical acclaim and commercial triumph. Produced by Kamal Haasan and R. Mahendran, the film brings together powerful storytelling and a co+mpelling cinematic vision. Adding to the excitement, this project will mark the first-ever collaboration between RaajKamal Films International, Sivakarthikeyan, and acclaimed composer Santhosh Narayanan. The film has cinematography by Vivek Vijayakumar and editing by San Lokesh. Art direction for the film is by R K Nagu while Keerthy Sampath and Joshua Maxwell are its costume designers.
Ram Pothineni's #Rapo23 makers welcome actress Samyuktha on board film unit
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 11 (IANS) The makers of #Rapo23, which will mark the directorial debut of Telugu star Ram Pothineni, on Friday welcomed actress Samyuktha on board the unit of their film. Taking to its social media timelines to welcome the actress onboard the unit on the occasion of her birthday on Friday, production house Rapo Cinematics wrote, The world of #RAPO23 welcomes its newest addition. Happy Birthday, @iamsamyuktha_ and Welcome on board! Written & Directed by #RAPO. Produced by Krishna Pothineni.A @rapocinematics Production. Energetic Star @ram_pothineni. @samcsmusic @dop_tirru #ASPrakash @peterheinoffl. For the unaware, the unit had begun its Pondicherry schedule last month. Sources close to the unit had then informed that Ram Pothineni's ambitious project, tentatively being referred to as #RAPO23, was progressing at a brisk pace. Sources had disclosed that the unit had plans to shoot a visually appealing song choreographed by popular dance master Brinda in the scenic locations of Pondicherry. Sources had also added that the unit was looking to shoot several high-voltage action episodes designed by well-known stunt choreographer Vikram Mor, whose impressive filmography includes blockbusters like 'KGF: Chapter 1', 'Kantara', and 'Karuppu'3, during this schedule. Telugu star Ram Pothineni shot for 24 hours at a stretch on the outskirts of Pondicherry for the film, sources claimed and pointed out that what made the effort commendable was that he was not just directing the film but was also playing the lead in it. A massive setup was mounted in Pondicherry for the schedule, which continued for nearly nine days. Sources had said that Ram had been pushing himself vigorously as an actor while simultaneously overseeing every aspect of the film as its director. Unexpected rains disrupted the Pondicherry schedule, forcing the unit to temporarily halt filming and return to Hyderabad. The team was expected to head back to Pondicherry soon to complete the remaining portions on the same massive setup. The film is being produced by Krishna Pothineni under the Rapo Cinematics banner on a lavish scale. Conceived by Ram himself, #RAPO23 is touted to be a unique psychological action thriller set in a gripping neo-noir world. The film, which was formally announced on the occasion of the actor's birthday, will have Ram Pothineni playing a character called Veera in it. National-Award winning cinematographer Thirunavukarasu (Thirru) is the cameraman for this film. Along with Vikram Mor, renowned stunt choreographer Peter Hein is designing its action sequences, while AS Prakash is creating impressive sets that will enhance the film's scale and visual appeal.
Director Ram on casting Nivin Pauly in 'Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai': Nivin Pauly looked like Jesus!
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 11 (IANS) Acclaimed Tamil film director Ram has now disclosed why he chose Nivin Pauly to play the role of an immortal man in his eagerly-awaited 'Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai', which is slated to hit screens on October 1 this year. Responding to a question posed by a fan on why he had chosen Nivin Pauly to play a pivotal role in the film, Ram said, Nivin Pauly was the first hero who spoke to me after I'd made my film 'Peranbu'. After watching 'Peranbu', he told me that he wanted us to do a film together. The director went on to add, Nivin Pauly had a beard at that time and he looked like Jesus. He had grown his beard for something else and said he was going to cut it. I told him, 'Don't cut it. Let's make this movie and then you can cut it'. So, I did not ask him to grow a beard for my film. I only made use of his grown beard that was already there. A release date teaser that the makers had released recently has only added to the excitement of fans and film buffs. The teaser released shows Nivin Pauly (an immortal man) feeding a biscuit to a mother rat in a train. Soori, who is presented as a good man, is seen lamenting that the biscuits he had bought in Dubai for his son were being fed to a rat. Nivin Pauly then sets the mother rat down which then makes its way to Soori, who makes no effort to give way to the rat to pass. Eventually, he does give way when Nivin Pauly signals him to. The teaser then shows Nivin Pauly and Anjali dressed as those in an ancient civilisation. An elephant greets them and makes its way into the jungle as director Ram's voice is heard saying, Be it a rat or an elephant, be it a tree or grass, everything is life. They are the souls of our ancestors. With their embrace, we arrive on October 1. A title motion poster that the makers released in 2022 had a tagline that said, When you fall in love, not just your heart, everything including your body and soul will fly. For the unaware, one of Tamil cinema's most respected directors, Ram, started work on this film in Rameshwaram's Dhanushkodi in 2021 and completed shooting in April 2022. From then, the film has been awaiting a release date. The film has visuals by cinematographer Ekhambharam and music by Yuvan Shankar Raja.

'I'm Purely A Rhythm Bowler': Siraj Rues 'two-month Break' For Disrupted Run-up
MA Chidambaram Stadium: Mohammed Siraj believes an unusually long two-month break affected his bowling rhythm and contributed to his loss of pace during Indias recent Test series in Sri Lanka. Siraj returned to domestic action for the Duleep Trophy final after Indias Test assignment in Sri Lanka and initially struggled to find his usual pace and rhythm at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. The pacer conceded 140 runs in 25 overs in the first innings after the East Zone chose to bat but produced a much sharper performance in the second innings. He bowled with greater pace and control, finishing with 1-47 from 16 overs as the East Zone went on to defeat the South Zone and claim the title on first-innings lead. Siraj said his difficulties were linked to the disruption caused by his extended break before the Sri Lanka series. Im purely a rhythm bowler. If Im not in sync, I cant explode through the crease. That was the struggle in Sri Lanka my run-up felt disjointed. Some strides were too short, others were too long, and that broke my flow and cost me pace, Siraj was quoted as saying by Cricinfo. The 32-year-old said the lengthy gap was unfamiliar territory in his career and that training away from competitive cricket could not fully reproduce the demands of a match. Every bowlers body is different, but mine doesnt handle long breaks well. A short break is fine, but in my ten-year career, I had never taken two full months off. I was working out in the gym and bowling occasionally, but no amount of practice can replicate match intensity. It was a new experience, but a valuable learning curve for me going forward, he said. Siraj also had to deal with demanding conditions after coming directly from Sri Lanka. India had spent three-and-a-half days on the field during the second Test before the fast bowler travelled to Chennai for the Duleep Trophy final. We came straight from Sri Lanka, where we spent three-and-a-half days fielding in the second Test, and within a week, we were out here playing in Chennais sweltering heat, Siraj said. However, he refused to use the physical demands as an excuse, stressing the responsibility that comes with playing for India. But for me, it comes down to passion. When youre representing your country, you cant make excuses. You have to give every bit of your effort for your team and nation. Even if I didnt get the wickets to show for it today, that hard work will pay off at the international level, he added. However, he refused to use the physical demands as an excuse, stressing the responsibility that comes with playing for India. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories In the first innings, the pitch looked fresh, so I tried to bowl too fast. Because I was forcing it, my rhythm was off, he said. In the second innings, I told myself to forget the outcome and just run in with good, natural rhythm. The moment I did that, the old Siraj was back, and the ball started coming out beautifully.

Samyuktha plays Bhoomi in Nikhil Siddhartha's 'Swayambhu'; Makers release BTS video on her birthday!
Digital Desk | Chennai, Feb 20 (IANS) The makers of director Bharat Krishnamachari's eagerly awaited pan Indian period film 'Swayambhu', featuring actor Nikhil Siddhartha in the lead, on Friday revealed that actress Samyuktha played a character called Bhoomi in the film and released a BTS video clip that showed the efforts the actress had put in to perform the action sequences in the film. Taking to its social media timelines to greet Samyuktha a very happy birthday, production house Pixel Studios wrote, From relentless training to becoming the fearless Bhoomi. Wishing our warrior @iamsamyuktha_ a very Happy Birthday. She brought her courage, strength, and spirit to the epic world of #Swayambhu. Release date announcement soon. For the unaware, Samyuktha plays one of the two female leads in the film. Director Bharat Krishnamachari, in an exclusive interview to IANS earlier, had disclosed that the actress had showed great courage and performed a risky stunt for the film for which she had to be on a rope, dangling precariously for two entire days. Talking exclusively to IANS, director Bharat Krishnamachari said, Samyuktha was very brave and performed this risky stunt all by herself. This was a shot that required her to scale a mountain with the river flowing below with just one harness for safety. We shot in real locations. This particular scene was shot in Maradmalli in Andhra Pradesh. The slope she had to scale was almost vertical which meant that the level of difficulty was much greater. Pointing out that the terrain was inhospitable and so, even rushing to the actress's aid would have taken time for the crew, the director said that the actress displayed a steely resolve to deliver a fantastic shot. Bharat Krishnamachari had said, Due credit must be given to stunt choreographer Joshua Master and his team who carefully planned this sequence and effeciently pulled it off. 'Swayambhu', which is among the most eagerly awaited films of the year, is being produced by Bhuvan and Sreekar under the banner of Pixel Studios and presented by Tagore Madhu.The film has triggered huge interest not just in fans but also film buffs for a number of reasons. It is an already established fact that hero Nikhil Siddhartha went to Vietnam to train in martial arts for the film. In fact, the young actor became so proficient in the use of swords that he could fight with a sword in either hand. Sources had disclosed to IANS that it was not just Nikhil Siddhartha who received training in sword fighting and that even the supporting cast received training in sword fighting from experts. A source had told IANS that a team of Vietnamese sword fighting experts were flown in to train the stunt artistes here who shot for the film. Several hundred artistes were part of the enormous climax sequence that was shot over a period of 60 days at the Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad. It may be recalled that the makers had, in November last year, confirmed that the monumental production had officially wrapped its shoot. After an intense two-year journey and 170 days of extensive filming, the team proudly announced the completion of the film. Rooted in Indias cultural heritage, 'Swayambhu' will delve into untold chapters of the past - stories that extend far beyond traditional tales of kings and wars. At its heart lies the saga of a formidable warrior whose valour shaped an era.

India Bowling Coach Morkels Arrival Delayed By Visa Issues, Physio Jain Likely On His Way Out
Arun Jaitley Stadium: The arrival of India's bowling coach Morne Morkel in New Delhi has been delayed due to visa issues, though hes expected to link up with the team very soon ahead of their T20Is against Afghanistan, sources told IANS. South Africa-based Morkel's absence during a preparatory session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Thursday did raise eyebrows, but sources said it was only due to visa-related issues. Morne had visa issues, but he should be here soon once it's solved, sources told this news agency. Meanwhile, it is understood that physiotherapist Kamlesh Jain is on his way out of the national setup, having remained absent from the squad's training session in the national capital. About Kamlesh, it's yet to be known when he will be here, further said the sources. Another source familiar with chatter around Chennai-based Jains future with the Indian team said, He will leave the team shortly. Before joining the Indian team in June 2022, Jain previously served as the head physiotherapist after starting in an assistant role for three-time IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) from 2012 to 2022. He also worked with Bengal senior mens domestic team from September 2011 to March 2017. Sources have also indicated that he could potentially return to working for an IPL franchise, including a possible reunion with KKR. With Jain set to vacate his position, the BCCI is expected to begin the process of finding his replacement shortly. The expected exit of Jain comes after fielding coach T Dilip and assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate ended their respective stints with the national side after the tour of England. Since then, ten Doeschate moved back to Knight Riders Sports as Head of Cricket Strategy, where hes in charge of player recruitment and squad planning, as well as serving in assistant coaching roles in the CPL, ILT20, and MLC. He also worked with Bengal senior mens domestic team from September 2011 to March 2017. Sources have also indicated that he could potentially return to working for an IPL franchise, including a possible reunion with KKR. With Jain set to vacate his position, the BCCI is expected to begin the process of finding his replacement shortly.

Punjab T20 League: For Kartik Chadha, the spin sensation from Jalandhar, the opportunity to spend time with Chennai Super Kings during IPL 2025 was surreal from the moment he received the call. But it was an intra-squad game at Chepauk, and a dismissal of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, that gave the young leg-spinner perhaps his biggest confidence boost. Kartik, who worked with CSK as a net bowler, said that simply getting the opportunity to join the franchise was difficult to comprehend. Yes, it was a very unreal moment when I got the call that we have seen you, and you should come and join us at CSK. So it was very unreal at first. When I went there obviously Dhoni bhai is such a big name. So it was a big deal to share the dressing room with him. It was a big deal for me, Kartik told IANS in an exclusive interaction on Thursday. The experience went beyond merely being around established stars. Kartik, who is currently a part of Ludhiana Lions in the Sher-e-Punjab league, had the opportunity to bowl in intra-squad matches, and his performances in those games gradually changed how he viewed himself. Then, when I practised with him. Played matches. There were intra-squad matches. I bowled very well there, and thats when I started believing that I belong there. My confidence only boosted thereafter; I thought, yes, I can do it. One particular intra-squad game remains especially memorable. Kartik claimed four wickets, with Dhoni among his victims. I remember we had an intra-squad match, and I took four wickets. I also bowled out Dhoni bhai. It was like a normal practice game. Like a match simulation type, but I managed to bowl out Dhoni bhai there. The significance of the dismissal was not lost on Kartik, even though he was quick to point out that he was also being hit during the contest. I was getting hit equally, but the joy of bowling Dhoni bhai out was different. The CSK experience became an important part of Kartiks development, particularly because it allowed him to test his leg-spin against high-level batters in a competitive environment. His hard work was evident when he dismissed Indias ODI and Test captain Shubman Gill during one of the encounters at the ongoing league in Punjab. But the path to that opportunity had not been straightforward. Injuries had repeatedly interrupted his progress, including a fractured finger during last year's Maharaja Ranjit Cup and an ankle injury shortly before the Sher-E-Punjab League. I had been facing a lot of issues with my fitness for a very long time because there was always some injury or the other. Last year, during the Maharaja Ranjit Cup, I fractured my finger, so it was a very tough time. And 2-3 months ago, my ankle got fractured. I got a ligament tear. I thought that even after doing so well, I was getting injured my ankle got fractured before Sher-E-Punjab and after our districts. The timing of the latest injury made it particularly difficult to accept. So it was a very disturbing moment. There was a very good flow this time, but I got injured. So I was down for 1-1.5 months. I had been facing a lot of issues with my fitness for a very long time because there was always some injury or the other. Last year, during the Maharaja Ranjit Cup, I fractured my finger, so it was a very tough time. And 2-3 months ago, my ankle got fractured. I got a ligament tear.

Also Read: Special Cricket Stories But then I did my best to recover from the ankle injury. After that, I had faith in myself that I could do it. But at that time, I felt this was not possible. But then when I came back, I played matches and practised. So that momentum started again. Then I came to Sher-e-Punjab. So I have been backing myself since then. Article Source: IANS
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 10 (IANS) Lyricist Jayashree Mathimaran, who is also the wife of director Mathimaran Pugazhendi whose sports action drama 'Mandaadi' hit screens on Thursday, has now penned an emotional note in the wake of the film emerging a hit. Taking to her X timeline to post a picture of their family, Jayashree wrote, Im still shivering, trying to understand and process what this day has been. The love you all showed for 'Mandaadi' in the theatre was overwhelming. Every moment took me back to the days when we struggled together, stood by each other, and lived through every difficult phase as one. Those memories just kept flashing before my eyes. She went on to add,I cried. I clapped. I screamed my lungs out. I hugged him. And somewhere in all that emotion, I felt incredibly proud. He is a true example of how patience, perseverance and faith can make you stronger and take you higher. Jayashree told her director husband, Love you to the moon and back. We lived through the bad phases together now, lets live this success, happiness and every beautiful moment together. She then went on to narrate a dialogue from the film. 'Ippavum solren @MathiMaaran. Nee solra edathula irruka... Naanga ketkura edathula irrukom.' ( I am telling you even now Mathimaran. You are in a position to say and we are in a position to listen.) She concluded the post saying, From struggling together to celebrating together, this one is deeply, deeply special. #mandaadi #mandaadiblockbuster. For the unaware, the film, which features actors Soori and Mahima Nambiar in the lead, has taken a strong opening, with industry insiders declaring the film to be a hit. 'Mandaadi' also marks the Tamil debut of Telugu actor Suhas, who plays a pivotal role alongside Soori. Apart from Soori, Mahima Nambiar and Suhas, the film also features actors Sathyaraj, Ravindra Vijay, Mithun, and Balasaravanan in important roles. The title 'Mandaadi' is inspired by the rich maritime culture of Tamil Nadu's coastal belt and embodies the spirit of individuals who possess exceptional skill, determination, and leadership in navigating the challenges of the sea. Shooting for the film had been wrapped in April this year. A video that the makers had released while announcing that shooting for the film had been wrapped up showed how the cast and the crew had suffered injuries while making the film that has been predominantly shot at sea. The film is expected to emerge as a significant milestone in Sooris career as it stands as the biggest and most ambitious project he has undertaken to date. Sources point out that one of the films major strengths lies in Sooris extraordinary physical commitment. The actor has personally performed all the high-risk action sequences set in the sea, without the use of body doubles. Sources in the know had told IANS that for the extensive sailboat racing portions, Soori underwent rigorous training and hands-on preparation over several months, mastering the physical and technical demands of the sport. This dedication, they said, had added authenticity and emotional weight to the film, significantly enhancing its realism and cinematic impact. Shot extensively across the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu, particularly in the Ramanathapuram belt, 'Mandaadi' has large-scale action blocks, emotionally charged sequences, and ambitious sailboat racing portions.

Ishan Kishan extends unbeaten captaincy record with Duleep Trophy win
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 10 (IANS) India international Ishan Kishan extended his unbeaten record as captain in first-class cricket after leading the East Zone to their third-ever Duleep Trophy title on Thursday. Kishan was in stellar form in the final against South Zone, scoring 350 across two innings to lead the domestic side to a win on the first-innings lead. With the victory, Kishan has also extended his record for being unbeaten as captain in first-class cricket to 16 matches. His run began in 2018 and is now in its ninth year. This has made him enter the top 10 of the unbeaten captains list in FC cricket. As per CricViz, the list is headed by former Sri Lanka cricketer Mahinda Halangoda, who was unbeaten in 30 FC matches as skipper. Meanwhile, Kishan credited the team's collective effort for their win. We won this title as a group. I think everyone was taking care of each other, which was the most important thing for me. I think I've been a good leader (offered a cheeky smile), but I think the journey doesn't end here. You need to keep getting better in all the departments. Whether you're fielding or batting, you'll always make mistakes. So we just need to rectify that and get better day by day, Kishan said in the post-match presentation ceremony. The Duleep Trophy win is Kishan's second title as captain after winning the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for Jharkhand in the 2025/26 season. Reflecting on his approach and mindset during his time away from the national team, the wicketkeeper-batter highlighted how the period helped him mature both as a cricketer and as a captain. I think it was more about just being calmer after the break, being more into the game, knowing what's important, how aware you are of the game and how you are reading the situation. You need to take care of each other, try and help each and every ball, so they don't get into that zone where I was. So I was just trying to help everyone, and it's been a good transformation for me as well. I've been more calm, more aware of situations, and more hungry. You want to perform for your team. You need to make your team win, and that is something which changed in me. Hundred percent, that is going to be there (on being that cheeky guy) till I turn ninety, he added.

ECI recognises TVK as state party in Tamil Nadu, reserves whistle symbol
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 10 (IANS) The Election Commission of India (ECI) has recognised the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) as a state party in Tamil Nadu and reserved the whistle symbol for it, giving the organisation a permanent electoral identity after its successful Assembly debut. The recognition follows TVKs performance in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly election, in which it emerged as the single largest party. Contesting its first election, TVK won 108 of the 234 constituencies and secured 34.92 per cent of the valid votes polled across the state. The ECIs decision marks an important organisational milestone for the party, founded and led by actor-turned-politician C. Joseph Vijay. It places TVK among Tamil Nadus officially recognised state parties and allows its candidates to contest future elections under the same reserved symbol. The whistle had initially been allotted to TVK as a common symbol in January, ahead of the Assembly election. At that stage, the party was registered but unrecognised and had requested a single symbol for its candidates as it prepared for its maiden electoral contest. Following its strong showing at the polls, the symbol has now been formally reserved for the party. Under the Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968, a political organisation can obtain recognition as a state party by satisfying any one of several conditions linked to its vote share and the number of seats it wins in Assembly or Lok Sabha elections. One route requires a party to secure at least six per cent of the valid votes polled in the state and win a minimum of two Assembly seats. A party may also qualify by obtaining at least eight per cent of the valid votes in the state. TVKs vote share and tally were well above both benchmarks. Recognition carries practical and political significance. Apart from securing exclusive use of the whistle symbol in Tamil Nadu, it gives TVK a distinct institutional standing in the states electoral landscape and ensures greater consistency in its campaign identity. With TVK joining the list, Tamil Nadu now has seven recognised state parties. The others are the DMK, AIADMK, Communist Party of India, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, Naam Tamilar Katchi and Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam. The order formally consolidates TVKs transition from a newly launched political movement into a major electoral force.

Md Kounain Quraishi: The East Zone injury replacement who stars in Duleep Trophy final
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) Md Kounain Quraishi was hardly a familiar name in Indian domestic cricket when he walked out for East Zone in the 2026 Duleep Trophy semifinal. Two matches later, the 23-year-old Jharkhand all-rounder has a first-class century, seven wickets and a Duleep Trophy title to his name. Quraishis latest contribution came on Thursday in Chennai, where he remained unbeaten on 116 against South Zone. His hundred capped a breakthrough tournament in which he played a crucial role in East Zones title-winning campaign, despite entering the competition with no previous first-class experience. Quraishis entry into red-ball cricket was anything but conventional. He was drafted into the East Zone squad as an injury replacement for Shahbaz Ahmed ahead of the semifinal against Central Zone. Most domestic players make their way into the Duleep Trophy after establishing themselves in the Ranji Trophy. Quraishi had not even played a Ranji game for Jharkhand. Instead, his first-class debut came directly in the Duleep Trophy, and he wasted little time making an impression. In the semifinal, the off-spinning all-rounder picked up three wickets across the two innings. He dismissed Harsh Dubey and Saransh Jain in the first innings before removing Rinku Singh in the second, finishing with figures of 2/49 and 1/14. Quraishis selection did not come entirely out of the blue. Earlier this year, he had produced remarkable numbers for Jamshedpur Steelers in the Jharkhand Premier League. Used primarily as a finisher, he scored 203 runs in six innings while being dismissed only once. That gave him a remarkable average of 203 and a strike rate of 170. He also contributed six wickets during the tournament as Jamshedpur finished runners-up. Those performances helped earn him the opportunity to step into a much bigger arena. Quraishi showed his value again in the Duleep Trophy final. He scored 40 in East Zones mammoth first innings of 708 and then bowled close to 40 overs, claiming two wickets for 99 runs. His biggest moment arrived on the final day. Batting in East Zones second innings, Quraishi played a composed unbeaten knock of 116 from 190 balls to register his maiden first-class hundred. The innings helped East Zone extend their advantage before they declared at 388/7, securing the title on the basis of a first-innings lead. Quraishis unusual entry into first-class cricket places him alongside a select group of Indian cricketers, including Ravindra Jadeja, Ajinkya Rahane, Piyush Chawla and Bharath Reddy, who played Duleep Trophy cricket before featuring in the Ranji Trophy. His List A numbers remain modest, 43 runs and three wickets from four matches. But after his extraordinary JPL campaign and statement-making Duleep Trophy run, Quraishi has ensured that his name will no longer be an unfamiliar one in Indian domestic cricket.
Exemplary performance: Ganguly congratulates Kishan-led East Zone on Duleep Trophy triumph
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) Former India captain Sourav Ganguly congratulated Ishan Kishan and East Zone after their Duleep Trophy triumph on Thursday, highlighting the teams unbeaten campaign and praising the contribution of Bengal players. Congratulations to east zone under the leadership of Ishan Kishan to win the Duleep trophy after so many years .. they went unbeaten in the competition .. well done to the Bengal boys for their exemplary performance right throughout the tournament and the other members of the team, Ganguly wrote on X. East Zone secured the title after the final against South Zone at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai ended in their favour on the basis of a first-innings lead. The victory brought the trophy back to the zone for the first time since the 2012-13 season, ending a 13-year wait. Kishan was at the centre of East Zones dominant campaign. The captain produced a spectacular 270 in the first innings as his side amassed 708, while Kumar Kushagra added 101. Kishan followed it with an 80 in the second innings, finishing the final with 350 runs. The title-winning effort also featured significant contributions from Bengal and Jharkhand players, a point specifically acknowledged by Ganguly. Shikhar Mohan marked his Duleep Trophy debut with an impressive 85, while Kushagra played a key role alongside Kishan. On the final day, Md Kounain Quraishi provided another landmark performance, making an unbeaten 116 for his maiden first-class century. Anukul Roy contributed 64 as the pair shared a 150-run seventh-wicket stand before East Zone declared at 388/7. Quraishi reached three figures in the 96th over before celebrating with his teammates and followed the milestone with consecutive sixes. Roys patient innings further strengthened East Zones position before his dismissal. With the declaration confirming the result, East Zone players celebrated on the Chepauk field, bringing an end to a campaign in which they remained unbeaten and finally reclaimed the Duleep Trophy after more than a decade.
