DPL 2026: Dev Lakra's Blitz, Anuj Rawat's Calm Finish Help Purani Dilli 6 Chase Down 181 With Ease
West Delhi Lions: West Delhi Lions posted a competitive 180/6 in their 20 overs, thanks to a scintillating innings from Ankit Kumar, who struck a fluent 86 off just 45 deliveries during the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2026 contest against Purani Dilli 6 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The Lions got off to a dream start as openers Ankit Kumar and Krish Yadav dominated the Power-play, stitching together a 90-run partnership for the opening wicket. Krish played the perfect supporting role with a well-compiled 43 off 31 balls before his dismissal brought Purani Dilli 6 back into the contest. Despite wickets falling at regular intervals after the opening stand, Ankit continued to anchor the innings while maintaining an aggressive scoring rate. He found the boundary with ease and kept the scoreboard ticking, but the lack of substantial partnerships in the latter half of the innings prevented West Delhi Lions from posting a total beyond the 180-run mark. Pankaj Jaswal was the pick of the Purani Dilli 6 bowlers, finishing with impressive figures of 2/30 from his four overs, while the rest of the bowling unit chipped in with timely breakthroughs to restrict the opposition. Chasing 181, Purani Dilli 6 suffered the worst possible start as Rohan Rana was dismissed off the very first ball of the innings. However, the early setback did little to affect their approach as Samarth Seth and Dev Lakra combined brilliantly to rebuild the innings. The duo added 94 runs for the second wicket, taking the attack to the bowlers and shifting the momentum firmly in Purani Dilli 6's favour. Pankaj Jaswal was the pick of the Purani Dilli 6 bowlers, finishing with impressive figures of 2/30 from his four overs, while the rest of the bowling unit chipped in with timely breakthroughs to restrict the opposition.

Delhi HC seeks NIA stand on appeals by Aasiya Andrabi, 2 others against conviction in UAPA case
New Delhi, Aug 3: The Delhi High Court on Monday sought the stand of the NIA on appeals by hardline separatist Aasiya Andrabi and her two associates challenging their conviction for conspiring to wage war against India and being members of a terrorist organisation under stringent anti-terror law UAPA. Andrabi (62), the founder of the all-women separatist group Dukhtaran-e-Millat (DeM) in 1987, and her close aides -- Nahida Nasreen (58), and Sofi Fehmeeda (48)-- were convicted by the special NIA court on January 14, which said the trio had orchestrated a systematic campaign to destabilise J-K. On March 24, the trial court awarded life imprisonment to Andrabi, while Fehmeeda and Nasreen received a 30-year prison sentence. On Monday, a bench of Justices Prathiba M Singh and Vikas Mahajan condoned the delay in filing the appeals against the trial court decision and said it would issue notice to the investigating agency in the matter. The bench also gave time till September 15 to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to reply to their pleas seeking suspension of sentence and listed the matter for hearing on October 6. Andrabi and her two associates were formally charged with multiple offences under the stringent UAPA and the IPC in February 2021. It was alleged that they plotted to wage war against the country, besides conspiring to carry out terror-related activities. The trial court found them guilty of offences under UAPA sections 18 (punishment for conspiracy) and 38 (offence relating to membership of a terrorist organisation). It also convicted the three under IPC sections 153 A (promoting enmity between different groups), 153B (imputations, assertions prejudicial to national-integration), 121-A (conspiracy to wage war against Government of India), 120B (criminal conspiracy) and 505 (statements conducing to public mischief). While sentencing the convicts, the trial judge said o remorse has been shown by any of the convicts in respect of their acts; rather it is submitted that they are proud of what they were doing and also that they will continue to do the same work. Showing any leniency will amount to infusing a fresh lease of life and vigour in the spirit of convicts which aims at secession of an integral part of India, the trial judge had stated. In April 2018, on directions of the Union Home Ministry, the NIA registered a case against them as well as the DeM. According to the FIR, the central government has received information that Aasiya Andrabi and her associates namely Sofi Fehmeeda and Nahida Nasreen are actively running a terrorist organisation named as 'Dukhtaran-E-Millat' (DeM) which is proscribed under the First Schedule to the UAPA. They are using various media platforms to spread insurrectionary imputations and hateful speeches that endanger the integrity, security and sovereignty of India. The DEM through Andrabi openly advocates secession of Jammu and Kashmir from the Union of India and has also called for Jihad and use of violence against India, the FIR alleged. The agency also said that Andrabi and her associates had spoken, written and also published visible representations that bring into hatred and contempt apart from exciting disaffection towards the Government of India. The organisation, it added, is promoting enmity, hatred and ill-will between different communities on the grounds of religion and is doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony. Andrabi has solicited help from proscribed terrorist organisations and along with her associates, has entered into a criminal conspiracy to wage war against the Government of India, the FIR alleged.

Markram Plays Down LSG Captaincy Talk, Says Franchise Has 'quality Leaders'
South Africa T20I: South Africa T20I captain Aiden Markram has played down speculation surrounding the vacant leadership position at Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), stating that he has not given captaining in the Indian Premier League (IPL) much thought and cited that the franchise possesses several quality leaders. The leadership spot at LSG has been vacant after Rishabh Pant stepped down in May following the franchise finishing at the bottom of the points table in IPL 2026, before being traded to Delhi Capitals (DC) in exchange for left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav. While Markram has extensive experience via leading the RPSG Group's teams in the SA20 and The Hundred and is widely viewed as a frontrunner for the IPL leadership role, he insisted the decision rests entirely with management. I've got no idea. They can decide whatever they think is best. There's some quality leaders in that group that we have there, so I'm not too fussed about it. Whoever gets it I'm sure will take it on and do a good job, but the thoughts haven't been there just yet, Markram was quoted as saying by Cricinfo on Monday. Besides Markram, Australia's T20I skipper Mitchell Marsh and former West Indies captain Nicholas Pooran are among the other prominent leadership options in the existing LSG squad. The franchise could also explore options in this years IPL mini-auction. Markram also spoke about his experience of captaining in the 100-ball format and credited England white-ball veteran Jos Buttler for his support. It comes with its challenges, but it's been awesome. I've thoroughly enjoyed it. It obviously helps a lot to have guys like Jos (Buttler) around. He's helped me quite a bit. It's obviously much quicker, and still the idea of 10 balls from one side (is a challenge). You sometimes think you've snuck five in, and you remember there's still another five to the short side, or whatever it might be. But good fun, great comp, great standard as well, so I'm thoroughly enjoying it, he added.
