Kay Kay Menon has often been seen in intense roles, including cops, investigators and characters operating in darker or more serious worlds. However, his latest series, Prime Video's Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya, allows the actor to explore a more overtly humorous side of his performance. The seven-episode series started streaming on July 24 and also stars Archana Puran Singh, Prasanna Bisht and Naveen Kasturia. Set in a dysfunctional government school in Delhi, Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya follows a laidback headmaster whose plan to organise a fully paid Cambridge trip leads to an attempt to transform the struggling institution. The resulting chaos forms the basis of the show's comedy. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Menon addressed whether the series represents a departure from the darker roles he has frequently played. The actor pointed out that humour has actually been present in several of his earlier performances, even if those projects did not always receive the same level of attention. Actually, over a period of time I've done this kind of stuff, just that something gets popular, something doesn't. You can't help that. I've done Sankat City earlier, I've done Benny & Babloo earlier, I've done Farzi earlier, you know, so many of them, Menon said. The actor added that he naturally tries to incorporate humour into his performances, regardless of the genre or character he is playing. It's just that there are different people and I inherently try and bring some humour into whatever I'm doing, even if it's Himmat Singh. So that has been in the grain. Here it's out and out. It's in that sense different, he explained. Menon also stressed that his approach to Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya was not simply about playing a headmaster. Instead, he focused on understanding and portraying Gyaneshwar Tripathi, the character created for him by the show's makers. I'm still trying to play that person called Gyaneshwar Tripathi. So if he was Ramesh Tripathi, he would have been a different person. So I'm not playing the headmaster at all. I'm playing that person who has been given to me by Biswapati Sarkar and gang, he said. For Menon, finding the personality behind the designation is central to his acting process. He said his effort is always to portray the individual rather than simply the profession or position associated with the character. That is my endeavour always, to play the person, and I find him very endearing, the actor added. Kay Kay Menon says Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya is meant to be taken lightly Given that Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya is set against the backdrop of a government school and revolves around teachers attempting to address problems within the institution, Menon was also asked whether the show reflects India's education system or attempts to offer audiences a message of hope. The actor clarified that the series should primarily be viewed as a work of humour rather than a serious commentary on the education system. It's a very light take, nothing too serious. If people want to take a lesson out of it, most welcome. But it is a fictitious school. It is a dysfunctional school in a fictitious town called Tinki Toli which doesn't exist, he said. Menon further explained that viewers do not necessarily need to look for a deeper message in every aspect of the story. So the entire thing has to be seen as a portion of humour. You really can't, because otherwise what happens is that nowadays everybody tries to take out something from [everything]. Some things can be light and watch it for what it is, he said. At the same time, the actor acknowledged that the writers may have drawn from their own experiences while developing the story and characters. I'm sure the writers have had their own experiences and which is why the script has come about. They've taken it from their own lives perhaps, and it's very well written, Menon said. He also maintained that he does not approach his performances with the intention of teaching audiences or offering them advice. So, as an actor, all I can say is that I've never endeavoured to give a lesson to people or give gyaan, he said, before adding with a laugh, which is why I don't even do podcasts because I can't give gyaan anymore. With Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya, Menon gets to foreground a lighter quality that has appeared in his work before but is more central to this particular character. The actor's comments also underline his focus on playing Gyaneshwar Tripathi as an individual rather than simply presenting another version of a school headmaster. Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya is currently streaming on Prime Video. Also Read:Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya director Himank Gaur on casting Kay Kay Menon, We have never really seen him do comedy like this before
Prime Video's Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya has brought together an ensemble featuring Kay Kay Menon, Archana Puran Singh, Prasanna Bisht and Naveen Kasturia, along with a group of young actors who play the students at the centre of the show's fictional school. The seven-episode series began streaming on July 24 and is set in a dysfunctional Delhi government school, where a laidback headmaster's plan for a fully funded Cambridge trip leads to an attempt to transform the institution. For Kay Kay Menon, however, one of the biggest surprises while working on the show was not the elaborate school set or the ensemble, but the confidence and technical understanding displayed by its young actors. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Menon recalled his first impression of the children on the set and said he was taken aback by how naturally they approached acting and working in front of the camera. The first thing I was completely taken aback by was that the actors were children in this show. They are the actual stars. They are unbelievably good, all of them, and they know everything about the camera, they know the angles, they know about magnification, and bang on, the actor said. Menon noted that the way children perform on camera has changed significantly compared to earlier generations. According to him, young actors today are more natural and do not necessarily rely on the kind of rehearsed mannerisms that were once commonly associated with child performers. It's not the old type acting in which the father and mother used to tutor a child before and send him. I also mentioned this in an interview that previously you used to find a child always saying two times uncle or two times... uncle, uncle used to go like that. So all that is gone. Today the child is behaving like a child, and I was pleasantly surprised, Menon explained. The observation led to a discussion on whether the change represents a broader generational shift in the way children understand filmmaking and performance. Prasanna Bisht, who is also part of Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya, agreed with Menon's assessment. She pointed out that children today are exposed to filmmaking from a much younger age, particularly through smartphones and social media. Yes, I agree. They're making their own films; they're shooting on phones and everything, and it comes with generational information, Bisht said. Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya is currently streaming on Prime Video.

Prize awarded at Sandhurst in memory of
Rani Reena Kumar was at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst on Friday last week (7) to offer her personal congratulations to a British soldier who had won the annual prize that she has set up in her fathers name. Staff Sergeant G Blackwell, 34, from the Royal Engineers, has won this years Major General Diwan Misri Chand Prize. The programme for the Sovereigns Parade said that the special prize is awarded to the individual, platoon or company that has demonstrated outstanding innovation and purpose, character and boldness through the course. The Major General Misri Chand Prize is presented in memory of the late Major General Diwan Misri Chand, RMC Sandhurst and 1/14 Punjab Regiment. Misri Chand was rather a dashing officer who was commissioned at Sandhurst in 1927. He was born in Dehradun on 11 October 1907 and died on 13 March 1970. His skills as the Indian flying ace and deeds of derring-do in the North-West Frontier and the Indo-Pakistan war of 1948 were also recognised by the Indian Post Office which issued a stamp in his honour in 2009. He received his early education at the Prince of Wales Royal Indian Military College in Dehradun, before going to Sandhurst. After passing out from Sandhurst in 1927, he joined the British Indian army. According to his biography, he learned to fly with the Bombay Flying Club, becoming one of the first Indians to get a pilots licence. He won the 1936 Viceroys Cup Air Race flying from Madras to Delhi in a hired Club Gipsy Moth, and became the first Indian permitted to compete in the Kings Cup Air Race in England in 1936. He flew a Percival Vega Gull G-AEAB, paired with Lt Patrick Randolph of the Grenadier Guards. He gained international fame in 1936 when he won the Viceroys Cup Air Race at the helm of a de Havilland DH.60 Moth biplane. He was admitted as a member of the elite Royal Aero Club alongside J R D Tata, and later the United Services Club in UK. British Sikh Association members visited Sandhurst in July 2016 Amit Roy At the Sovereigns Parade, 198 UK officer cadets were commissioned as British Army officers. The parade marked the competition of 44 weeks of intensive training for the officer cadets. The sword of honour was awarded to the officer cadet considered by the Commander to be the best of the intake. It was won in 1993 by Charles Roland Vincent Walker, who is now General Sir Charles Roland Vincent Walker KCB DSO ADC GEN, Chief of the General Staff. He represented King Charles at the Sovereigns Parade on Friday, took the salute, and, following tradition at the conclusion of the ceremony, went up the Academy steps and entered the building on a horse. Sandhurst also allows the British to exercise its soft power. Along with the local recruits, there was also overseas representation with 40 international cadets from 31 countries, including Bangladesh, Nepal, Oman, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates and Uganda. India does not need to send cadets for training in Britain because it has its own Indian Military Academy (IMA), which was established very much along the lines of Sandhurst on October 1, 1932. That might be one explanation why the Indian army has been very professional and kept out of politics unlike its counterparts in Pakistan, Bangladesh and many other countries all over the world. At the conclusion of the Sovereigns Parade on Friday, Rani Reena, a former member of the Legislative Assembly in Uttar Pradesh and also a former energy minister, and Staff Sergeant Blackwell chatted to each other and to Eastern Eye . Blackwell said: This prize is awarded to me for daring innovation, and is (named) after the Princesss father, who went above and beyond (duty) and was very brave to do things which required a thought process. It was given to me for developing defence infrastructure, and additionally for countering ariel moving targets. I will stay at Sandhurst for another year, and then I will move back to my home unit which is in 16 Brigade (the British Armys global response force). From left Staff Sergeant G Blackwell chatting informally to Rani Reena Kumari Amit Roy Rani Reena found the Sovereigns Parade, which she was attending for the first time, very impressive lovely. Rani Reena belongs to the royal families of Labhowa and Sahaspur-Bilari, which are connected through marriage. Raja Pratap Singh Jhala of the Labhowa estate (in Uttar Pradeshs Firozabad district) is married to Rani Reena Kumari (or Reena Singh), the daughter of the late Rani Indra Mohini and Dewan Major-General Misri Chand of Sahaspur-Bilari. Rani Reena said: I was the one who instituted the award in 2011. My father was a Kings Commissioned Officer in the Indian army. He passed out in 1927, so next year they will be marking his centenary. I was very young when he died but I dug out all his records which I found, and then contacted Sandhurst. They went through his records and found he was one of their top cadets here (at Sandhurst). The prize is now given every year. As she learnt more about her father, she discovered he loved Sandhurst. He had his best time here, the best days of his life here in the army. Sandhurst taught him a lot. It made me feel nice to come here, connecting with this place. He was a daredevil. He never flew for the army but he held a flying record for 17 years. She said that the Indian army has acquired many British values. We were a colony of the British. The whole IMA (Indian Military Academy) is based on a very similar pattern (to Sandhurst). Gen Walker takes the salute Amit Roy Gen Walker takes the salute Amit Roy Five cadets march with perfect timing Amit Roy Cadets march to their positions Amit Roy The motto of the Indian Military Academy is Veerta aur Vivek, which translates to Valour and Wisdom. At Sandhurst, it is Serve to Lead. The IMA began life in 1922 when the Prince of Wales Royal Indian Military College was set up in Dehradun to prepare young Indians for admission to Sandhurst. It became the Indian Military Academy in 1932, and the Indian Military Rashtriya Indian Military College or just RIMC after independence but in 1960, the name, Indian Military Academy, was reinstated. A trainee on admission to IMA is referred to as a gentleman cadet (GC). One reason for this is that the IMA expects its graduates to uphold the highest moral and ethical values. it focuses on rigorous physical, mental, and leadership development to mould young men into commissioned military officers. It concentrates on character building, physical fitness, military tactics, and leadership under stress. Gen Walker enters the academy on a horse Amit Roy Inscribed in the oak panelling at the eastern entrance of the Chetwode Hall is the academys credo, excerpted from the speech of Field Marshal Chetwode at the inauguration of the IMA in 1932: The safety, honour and welfare of your country come first, always and every time. The honour, welfare and comfort of the men you command come next. Your own ease, comfort, and safety come last, always and every time. The values inculcated into young officers at Sandhurst are almost identical. On Friday at Sandhurst, in his stirring address to the Officer cadets, Gen Walker told the young men and women (there has been mixed training since 1993): Our nations will need their soldiers. Those soldiers will need to be led, and that is because their duties will remain the most difficult, the most demanding, and the most dangerous to perform. And so it stands to reason that they deserve the best leaders. And thats you. And you are, and you will be on orders, very soon. Our most inexperienced and youngest of soldiers will be ready and prepared to step forward out into the unknown and the uncertain, and they will do that because they trust you. And your first responsibility when you leave this place is to earn that trust just as quickly as you can, by being yourself, by being professional, by putting their interests before yours, by never asking them to do something that you are not prepared to do yourself. He began by saying: Not only is it a tremendous honour for me to represent His Majesty the King at this most important waypoint in the lives of you, the young officer cadets on parade, but to do so in the company of your families and your soon-to-be regimental ones, as well as the very distinguished guests who have flown in from around the world, makes this a particularly special occasion. Maj Gen Dewan Misri Chand India stamp issued 2009. Amit Roy Rani Reena Kumari Amit Roy Ive got to tell you that it feels like yesterday that I walked up those steps to the tunes of Auld Lang Synethat makes it a rather alarming 33 years ago that I was where you are. But Ill tell you this to the cadets on parade: I promise you that everything that I know now, if someone was to take me back to the start and give me my time again, I would go there without hesitation and do it all again. Now, to my contemporaries and I, many of whom are in the audience watching you follow in their footsteps, the world that we commissioned into was very different to yours. The spectre of general war against the Soviet Union and Russia was fading from our foreground. The scourge of terrorism was waning. The tanker wars in the Persian Gulf were over, and economic stability was returning to the oil markets. There was optimistic talk of peace dividends, and that meant that the armed forces in NATO were being disinvested in, and there was an optimistic view that the future was ours. We had won, and it was our job to keep it that way. Now the consequence was our operations and deployments tended to be under the banner of peace support and stabilisation. That said, still people tried to kill us. So we learned that there was nothing peaceful about keeping the peace, and that the competence in the basics of combat applied whenever and wherever we went. Heres the thing: we had every confidence that it was a world in which we dominated militarily. And for reasons that are obvious to us all now, that world is fading fast. The spectre of general war is not. And there is little assurance or indeed entitlement that we hold the codes to perpetual military dominance. Now, this should not be a cause for despair. Indeed, I believe it is quite the opposite. Window one in the Indian Memorial Room at Sandhurst Amit Roy Window two in the Indian Memorial Room at Sandhurst Amit Roy This is a time when collective defence and security becomes a national and an international effort, where investment in the armed forces is replacing disinvestment, where your operations, activities, and deployments will be done under the banner of real deterrence and hard defence, and where there is an absolute clarity to your purpose, which is to be ready to fight and win the nations battles, which we can, and we have done this before as this academy stands testament to, and well do it again. Because it is at times like this that the very best of our nation steps up, and I see that happening every single day. And that is why I tell you this is a very consequential time for you to be starting your military careers, and its why my generation knows that the future is in good hands, and its also why Im personally not going anywhere else for now. And for all of the changes in the way that you will fight your battlesthere are some continuities that will not change. Gen Walker advised the officer cadets always to resect the experience and advice of your non-commissioned officers. You have the character and the competence to do this from day one, week one, which, just to remind you, is tomorrow. We have every confidence that you will have the courage to make those important decisions under pressure when the time comes, and it will, and that you will always do the right thing, even when things start to go wrong around you, because that is the simplicity of the motto of this place: serve to lead, and we ask nothing more from you. The Indian Memorial Room at Sandhurst Amit Roy That is now your creed, and it must define you in all that you do, not just in uniform or in your working hours. And I want to pay tribute and thank families and friends for making you who you are. And I would like them all to know that they are part of this much larger military family, and you are all most welcome. And I want to pay compliments to your directing staff and all the staff here at the Academy for helping turning you into commissioned officers, ready to serve King, country, and those nations represented on parade. So in summary, leading soldiers is an extraordinary privilege and responsibility. And that is why this parade is held in the name of the sovereign, and why you have met the standard to earn a commission from the sovereign personally. As of tomorrow, as in the words of the scroll of your commission, you will be considered trusted and most beloved by the sovereign. This is your day, and youre ready. And I really think its time for you to march up those steps, through those doors, and into your future. So congratulations, and good luck. These are the values that 20-year-old Misri Chand would have taken away when he left Sandhurst nearly a century ago. Indeed, Sandhursts connections with India run very deep. Sandhurst has an Indian Army Memorial Room, windows representing Indian soldiers and many paintings depicting battles in India. In July 2016, members of the British Sikh Association visited Sandhurst.

AN AIR INDIA pilot whose flight plunged around 300 feet during turbulence, injuring 17 passengers and crew, is undergoing a confirmatory psychoactive drug test, Indias aviation ministry said Sunday. The Airbus A320, carrying 137 passengers and eight crew, lost around 300 feet (91 metres) on August 4 while flying from Phuket in Thailand to New Delhi. The aircraft later stabilised and landed safely, the civil aviation ministry said. Eight passengers and four cabin crew members were admitted to hospitals after landing in the Indian capital. Their conditions were described as stable. Both pilots were then given a standard psychoactive substance screening test, the statement said. The screening test in respect of the Pilot-in-Command (PIC) indicated a result requiring confirmatory testing, it said. Samples have accordingly been sent to the designated laboratory for confirmatory analysis, and the final report is awaited. The ministry said the flight had been classified as a Serious Incident, and that Indias Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) had launched an investigation. Both pilots have been removed from the flying roster pending the outcome of the investigation. Further action, as appropriate, will be taken based on the outcome of the investigation and confirmatory test results, it added. Videos of the incidents aftermath showed cabin baggage strewn across the aisle. Some of those injured were taken to hospital on stretchers. Air India, in a statement earlier on Sunday, confirmed that a post-flight screening test had been conducted on the flights pilots, but said the results had not been shared with the company. The incident is the latest in a series of setbacks for the Indian carrier, which appointed a new executive on Wednesday. Since taking over Air India in 2022, Indias Tata Group has embarked on an overhaul, ordering hundreds of aircraft and upgrading its ageing fleet. While the airline has managed to modernise operations and integrate the groups aviation businesses, it has faced headwinds including aircraft delivery delays and airspace closures caused by the 2025 India-Pakistan conflict. The biggest blow to the airlines image came in June 2025, when Air India Flight 171, a London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner, crashed shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad, killing all but one of the 242 people on board and 19 people on the ground. The carrier has now turned to former Ethiopian Airlines chief Tewolde Gebremariam as its new CEO as it seeks to execute a turnaround.

Google can take you to the world, but Guru connects you to yourself: Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji
Google can take you to the world, but Guru can connect you to yourself, HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji told a major gathering of saints, devotees and families as revered spiritual leaders came together for a Sant Sansad at Sachkhand Nanak Dham (Darshan Darbar), Iver, on Sunday, 9 August. Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji, President and Spiritual Head of Parmarth Niketan Ashram, Rishikesh, chaired the Sant Sansad, whose central theme was the rejuvenation of Indian culture and the transmission of spiritual values, family traditions and sanskar to younger generations. The gathering was held under the spiritual leadership of Hazur Sant Trilochan Darshan Das Ji, spiritual successor of Sachkhand Nanak Dham, and HH Shri Rajrajeshwar Guruji, Founder and Global Spiritual Leader of International Siddhashram Shakti Centre UK. Sanjay Giri, CEO of Network 10, compered the programme. The next generation is the now generation Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji devoted much of his address to young people, saying they should not simply be blamed for becoming disconnected from culture. Our younger generation is the now generation, not the next generation, he said, describing young people as the real GDP of the world. He urged parents to communicate values through their own example rather than excessive preaching. Respect them touch them with your own example, he said, adding: They are not careless; they are cared less. Speaking directly to the Indian diaspora, Swamiji said: Be British where professional excellence is concerned, but stay Indian where domestic life is concerned. Sant Sansad Master Jasraj sharing his views Mahesh Liloriya Google, Guru and the inner net Swamiji repeatedly used the language of technology to explain the relevance of spiritual wisdom. Google can teach you about the world, but Guru can teach you about yourself, he said, later summing it up as: Google is great, but Guru is divine. He said technology and spirituality should complement each other. The internet connects people with the world, he said, but people should also develop their inner net. Referring to science and spirituality, Swamiji said: For outer space you need science; for inner space you need spirituality. He also urged people not to confuse speed with direction. You need speed, but at the same time you need direction, he said, comparing the Guru to a spiritual GPS that helps a person stay on the right path. Set the goal; the role will be set, he added. Swamiji also said: Expectation is the mother of frustration, and acceptance is the mother of joy and peace. From Facebook to face your book Turning again to modern life, Swamiji said there was nothing wrong with social media. Go on Facebook nothing wrong in it, he said. But at the end of the day, face your book. People may spend their lives building a digital profile, he said, but what ultimately matters is the file created through their deeds and conduct. Reflecting on cultural transmission, Swamiji said that one illuminated life could inspire countless others. Thousands of extinguished lamps cannot light even one lamp, but one illuminated lamp can bring light into millions of hearts. He also warmly praised young Jasraj, who spoke during the Sant Sansad, as an example of values reaching the next generation. Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji (right) speaks at the event Saints call for Swadhyay, sanskar and stronger cultural education The wider Sant Sansad echoed the same concern about cultural continuity. H.H. Shri Rajrajeshwar Guruji said people often search for happiness in the outside world when true happiness lies within. He said that while the world is pursuing AI Artificial Intelligence it should not forget DI, Divine Intelligence, and GI, the intelligence and wisdom received through the Guru. Mahamandaleshwar Swami Yatindranand Giri Ji Maharaj, Shri Panch Dashnam Juna Akhada, Haridwar, stressed Swadhyay self-study and introspection. Jagadguru Swami Chakrapani Nand Giri Ji Maharaj, National President of Sant Mahasabha and Hindu Mahasabha, described the Sant Sansad as a booster for culture and values. Pujya Shri Devendra Brahmachari Ji described Swadhyay as one of the greatest forms of tapasya and said culture must be passed to the next generation wherever Indians live. Pujya Shri Pandokhar Sarkar Ji Maharaj, Peethadhishwar of Pandokhar Dham, Datia, emphasised devotion and dedication to the Guru. Pujya S.P. Swami of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, Gadhada, stressed devotion to Guru and God as a foundation of Sanatan culture. Mahant Shri Rishishwaranand Ji Maharaj, Head of Chetan Jyoti Ashram, Haridwar, called for strong Gurukuls to educate children while keeping them rooted in Indian values. Swami Niranjan Maharaj, Purusharth Ashram Sewa Trust, Haridwar, said the mother is the first Guru, extending that reverence to Mother Earth and nature. Shrimahant Narayan Giri Ji Maharaj, Peethadhishwar of Shree Dudheshwar Nath Mahadev Math Mandir, Ghaziabad, and President of Delhi Sant Mahamandal, stressed sanskar, discipline and the role of the Guru. Mahamandaleshwar Swami Dr Umakantanand Saraswati Ji Maharaj, Juna Akhada Haridwar and Shashwatam Foundation Mauritius, asked people to reflect: What were we, what are we, and what will we become? Padma Shri Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swami Ji Maharaj, Founder and Head of International Sadguru Foundation and Peethadhishwar of Shree Datta Padmanabh Peeth, Goa, said God must remain at the centre if Indian culture is to be rejuvenated. Mahant Shri Bhupendra Giri Ji Maharaj of Rishikesh described the congregation of saints as a rare opportunity and said society must do more to pass moral values to the present generation. Also present were Mahant Shri Batuk Giri Ji Maharaj of Atal Ashram, Surat; Gurumata Brahmidevi Ji of Shree Datta Padmanabh Peeth, Goa, and other revered saints. Young participants, including Master Jasraj, Khushi and Shivani, also shared their views. Sant Sansad- Deep Prajjawalan Mahesh Liloriya Divine Darbar spreads message of faith and oneness Before the Sant Sansad, devotees attended the Divine Darbar of Hazur Sant Trilochan Darshan Das Ji. Hazur Maharaj urged devotees to maintain faith in the Divine, remember God every day and recognise that humanity is ultimately part of one Divine source. Bob Blackman CBE MP attended as Guest of Honour. Ravi Sharma compered the Divine Darbar. Final Sant Sansad in Harrow on 14 August The Iver gathering was the third in the UK Sant Sansad series, following Dudley, Birmingham, on 7 August and City Pavilion, Ilford, on 8 August. The series will culminate with the final Sant Sansad at Harrow Leisure Centre on Friday, 14 August, as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations of International Siddhashram Shakti Centre UK.

Lighter by 17kg and after gruelling sessions in Kashmir, Sarfaraz ready for Sri Lanka challenge
New Delhi, Aug 10: A few days before he was recalled to India's Test squad, Sarfaraz Khan had declared on social media that, I may not fit in, but I'll fight with everything I've got. It was a message of resolve but one that was acutely aware of the probabilities at that point. But as luck would have it, his resolve won. An injury to Sai Sudharsan opened up the window of opportunity which Sarfaraz had been waiting for the past two years. He was included for the two-match away Test series against Sri Lanka beginning on August 15. The recall could not have come at a more opportune time for the Mumbaikar, having done all that he could to fit in, including shedding 17kg in the past year and a half. For someone, who has fought the perception of being a bit more burly for international cricket despite scoring a marathon triple hundred in Ranji Trophy, Sarfaraz now sports a sharper look, something that has certainly elevated his T20 game. Add to it, hours and hours spent at the Sher-e-Kashmir Stadium in Kashmir to sharpen his skills because seasonal rains made it impossible to have regular training in Mumbai. The comeback, therefore, is one to savour as being dropped after four failures against New Zealand, back in 2024, was hard to process. It was a series in which everyone failed but the axe fell only on the 28-year-old. He then went to England and scored 92 for India A in an unofficial Test' against England Lions apart from a century in an intra-squad game (India vs India A) at Beckenham. But the comeback still remained a distant dream until India's meek surrender to South Africa at home set the alarm bells ringing. If sources are to be believed, the team management had, back then, enquired about Sarfaraz ahead of the second Test in Guwahati but the selection committee wasn't ready to take him back into the fold. However, with Sudharsan's right big-toe impact injury still far from healed, the national selection committee had three options -- Ruturaj Gaikwad, who has a first-class career average in mid 40s, greenhorn Shaikh Rasheed who is more of a No. 3. The third and most logical option had to be Sarfaraz, who is probably the best player of spin bowling apart from skipper Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant in this current set-up. Also with Dhruv Jurel not really coming good against spinners for some time now (at least when he is playing for the senior national team), one can't be sure that the Uttar Pradesh man will play as a pure batter against the island nation when the first Test starts in Galle on August 15. Sarfaraz way better than Jurel Jurel came to Sri Lanka last month as the skipper of the India A team and scored a big hundred and a fifty in the two 'A' Tests but in the practice game that ended on Sunday, he was out cheaply defending against an off-spinner. It is now well documented that Jurel has problems playing off-spinners. South Africa's Simon Harmer got him thrice in four innings during the series against the Proteas. In case of Sarfaraz, he has better range of strokes, including the conventional and reverse sweep, which he can play in-front and behind the square. Red-soil turners at private facilities for training Post IPL, Sarfaraz played the Mumbai T20 league where he produced some blistering knocks for Akash Tigers Western Mumbai Suburbs. But once the monsoons hit Mumbai, he left for Kashmir where he stayed for sometime, training against the net bowlers as well as some of the state team boys. He also did skills training on astro turf wicket at the MCA Indoor facility at BKC and rented private facilities around Kurla where he batted for hours on used and under-prepared red-soil tracks to keep his game top notch against slow bowlers. Now that he has managed to fit in, India would need him to fight the good fight against Prabath Jayasuriya and company this weekend.
