NGT forms panel to probe river pollution by fish unit
CUTTACK: The alleged illegal operation of a 15,800 metric tonne per annum capacity fish meal and scrap fish processing unit at Tundura under Remuna block in Balasore district has come under the National Green Tribunal (NGT) scanner. The tribunal constituted a high-level fact-finding committee on April 17 and asked it to submit report within four weeks. The four-member panel includes regional director of Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), Bhubaneswar, senior scientists of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and Odisha State Pollution Control Board (OSPCB) and Balasore district collector. In a petition, Bipin Bihari Das, resident of the nearby locality, had alleged that the unit has been operating since 2023 with an annual processing capacity of 5,000 metric tonne fish meal and 10,800 metric tonne surimi (fish paste). The petitioner alleged the factory operates on the banks of a natural creek locally known as Kantachira river which connects the green fields with the Orissa coast canal and Bay of Bengal and releases untreated water into the sea through the river after washing huge quantity of rotten scrap fish. Advocate Sankar Prasad Pani along with advocare Ashutosh Padhy represented the petitioner and made submissions in virtual mode. The NGTs east zone bench in Kolkata felt the matter requires consideration. The bench of B Amit Sthalekar (judicial member) and Satyagopal Korlapati, (expert member) said: Considering the allegations made, we deem it appropriate to constitute a fact-finding committee to visit the site in question and thereafter submit a report on affidavit within four weeks with regard to the allegations made in the application. The district magistrate of Balasore has been made the nodal officer for all logistic purposes and for filing the report on affidavit. The next hearing is scheduled to May 22. The bench issued notices to state authorities concerned, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, OSPCB, CPCB, CGWB and promoters of the fish processing unit. Respondents have been directed to file counter-affidavits within four weeks. The petitioner claimed that due to huge extraction of ground water by the fish processing unit, hundreds of small and medium bore wells which supply drinking water to around 2 lakh people residing in the gram panchayats, deep bore wells of the government used for agriculture and private small shallow tube wells have started drying up creating a water scarcity. The Kantachira river is the only way to drain rain water of around 20 to 25 gram panchayats into the sea as there is no river or large creek from Soro to Remuna at a stretch of around 30 km. Besides, rain water from the Sua Shari mountains in Soro to Swarnachuda mountains in Nilagiri passes through this river. This is a catchment area encompassing densely populated Barunasing, Maharajpur, Kuligan, Srijung, Tundra, Inchudi and Rasalpur gram panchayats, the petition said.
CHENNAI: Tiruvallur, a rapidly developing logistics and residential corridor on the northwestern outskirts of Chennai, has initiated a comprehensive audit of both fatal and non-fatal road accidents. Task forces comprising officials from the transport, police, and revenue departments are conducting field investigations in high-incidence areas such as Red Hills, Poonamallee, and Tiruvallur town. Collector M Prathap has ordered the audit following 188 crashes, including 49 fatalities, that were reported in February alone. I have asked officials to analyse data in the last five years to determine whether road geometry or other factors are contributing to these accidents. If corrective measures are needed, we will implement them, Prathap told TNIE. Tiruvallurs road network includes several state highways, major district roads, and three National Highways - NH-716, NH-16, and NH-48. Earlier this month, Avadi City Police Commissioner K Shankar narrowly escaped injury when a maxi truck rear-ended his official vehicle on the Grand Northern Trunk (GNT) Road near Sholavaram. Data reviewed by TNIE and corroborated by state officials have revealed several high-risk blackspots on NH-205. Danger zones have been identified between Arcotkuppam Junction and Canara Bank, from Arcotkuppam Bridge to Pudhur Bus Stand, and between Pudhur Junction and Narayanapuram Road. These stretches are now being subject to urgent interventions such as installation of speed-calming methods and improved lighting. However, safety concerns are not limited to these blackspots. Roads like the one from Mappedu to Sunguvarchatram lack basic infrastructure, including street lighting and warning signs; the Tiruvallur-Tiruttani corridor, which local police describe as a continuous danger zone is set to receive safety upgrades; in Poonamallee, the Palivakkam signal on the Chennai-Bengaluru route has become an accident prone area due to damaged service roads and potholes. Meanwhile, persistent issues like the non-functional high-mast light at Thirumazhisai junction remain unresolved, pending a power connection from the state electricity board. At Red Hills Padiyanallur signal on the Chennai-Kolkata highway, heavy vehicles continue to make U-turns due to the lack of a cloverleaf interchange on the Outer Ring Road, resulting in frequent multi-vehicle collisions. Experts are now calling for a shift from reactive to predictive, data-driven safety strategies. P S Reashma, Mobility and Road Safety Specialist at Street Matrix, emphasised the importance of systematic crash investigations and identifying grey spots. In the long-term, NHAI has announced the construction of an access-controlled, four-lane highway for the region, scheduled for completion by December 2026.

IPL 2025: Bit Surprised RR Didnt Retain Buttler, KKR Havent Utilised Their Resources, Says Kumble
Kolkata Knight Riders: One can safely say that Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are in the same boat, as far as IPL 2025 points table and playoffs scenarios are concerned. KKR, the defending champions, are at seventh place with six points, while RR, the inaugural edition winners, are a position below them with four points. With the race of making it to the playoffs intensifying, both teams have an uphill task at their hands. Anil Kumble, the legendary India leg-spinner who captained Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in IPL, believes RR, who are on a four-match losing streak, are feeling the heat of missing Sanju Samson first due to finger injury and now side strain, as well as realising the impact of not retaining Jos Buttler. I felt that both games that RR lost (to Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants), they had it in hand, which (means) they shouldn't have lost those games. I mean, it happens in the T20 format. Missing Sanju Samson is a big thing. He's a key player for Rajasthan Royals. So, that's a big miss from your batting order. Yashasvi batting well is certainly a good thing for them. But again, Jos Butler is someone who sort of was the key player for Rajasthan Royals for a while. He was instrumental in single-handedly doing damage to the opposition. So, we have seen that with GT. I was a bit surprised that RR didn't retain him. However, with the team that they have, they should have won both the games. It happens, and it's happened to many teams. You sort of lose from a winning position. I'm sure that's something that they'll have to assess, said Kumble, a JioStar expert, to IANS in a virtual interaction, on the sidelines of Revenge Week taking place in the tournament. With RR set to face RCB at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday, Kumble hopes the side has found enough time to rectify their issue of not closing chases. Otherwise, they have the team. It's not that they don't have the team to beat any side in this competition. It's just a matter of understanding that you don't leave the charge right till the end. Some teams can win from those situations. But when you're not doing it, you might as well think that you only have 19 overs to chase down rather than 20. That may sort of help Rajasthan. On the other hand, KKR have lost five of their eight matches and Kumble stated the lack of starts from openers has made life tougher for middle order. So far, KKR tried three pairs, but none of them have produced a 50-run opening stand. Moreover, big-hitting Andre Russell hasnt been at his best - 55 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 119.56. Coming to KKR, I felt that they haven't really utilized their resources. I mean, if you look at last year's campaign, it was mostly around the starts that they used to get with Phil Salt and Sunil Narine. That's not happening this season with their opening batters, and that certainly (has) started putting pressure on their middle order. I felt the utilization of Andre Russell hasn't been really great from a KKR standpoint. I think Russell should bat higher. He should certainly get more opportunities. Just look at the one that they lost to Punjab. 60/2, I think in the dugout, ideally at that point, you'd say, okay, Andre Russell, you go and just finish this game early. If you get out first ball, doesn't matter, we still have batting in hand. But that didn't happen. By the time Russell came, he had to bat with the bowlers, and not even a regular batter because everybody else went ahead of him. Even in the last game, by the time Russell came, I think the match was over - 17 and a half, 18 runs and over. It may happen once in 10 games or once in 20 games. It can't happen every time. So that's something that I think KKR need to figure out, he elaborated. However, Kumble is confident of KKR performing well in the upcoming matches. At the same time, he cautioned both KKR and RR will have a hard time in reaching the playoffs if they dont get favourable results. They have the bowling lineup. I mean, they have two world-class spinners in their lineup. The two fast bowlers, have been bowling really well, Harshit Rana and Vaibhav. So they have the team. Jinx (captain Ajinkya Rahane) is batting really well at the top of the order. Venkatesh Iyer hasn't really performed, but I think KKR has it in them. It's just a matter of maybe the time that they have now, these 4-5 days. I know they had time after the Punjab loss a couple of days ago. They lost a game which they should have perhaps won against GT or at least done better. So I think both these teams, if they have any chance of making it to the playoffs, they'll have to turn it around in the next game - RR against RCB and KKR against Punjab. Otherwise, it's going to be very difficult for them to qualify, he concluded. It's just a matter of maybe the time that they have now, these 4-5 days. I know they had time after the Punjab loss a couple of days ago. They lost a game which they should have perhaps won against GT or at least done better.

Centre agrees to 48-hour work week for resident doctors after first scheme review in 33 years
NEW DELHI: For the first time in 33 years, the Centre on Tuesday held a high-level meeting to review and update the Central Residency Scheme, 1992, and accepted the long-pending demand to fix the duty hours of resident doctors to 48 hours per week. The meeting was chaired by Dr Sunita Sharma, the newly appointed Additional Director General of Health Services (DGHS), and attended by directors of all major Delhi-based government hospitals, members of the Indian Medical Association (IMA), and representatives from leading resident doctors associations including FAIMA, FORDA, UDF, and IMA-JDN. We held the first meeting today and discussed various issues. We will meet again, Dr Atul Goel, Director General of Health Services, told this paper. He added that no final decisions were made during the meeting and the ministry would take a final call on the recommendations. However, several resident doctor associations claimed that their key demand, a fixed 48-hour work week for both junior and senior resident doctors, was accepted during the discussion. Welcoming the move, Dr Rohan Krishnan, chief patron of the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA), said, One of the crucial issues was the long working hours of senior and junior resident doctors. We had proposed that it should not exceed 48 hours a week with at least one off every week on a rotation basis. The ministry accepted this. He added, The Central Residency Scheme has not been revised since 1992. We feel resident doctors will be more comfortable in a safe working environment, leading to better patient care. If the basic needs of resident doctors are met, then I think there would be better care for the patients. Dr Krishnan said FAIMA had raised the demand for a scheme review following the tragic incident at RG Kar Medical College, where a postgraduate doctor was brutally raped and murdered in a government hospital in Kolkata last year. Dr Lakshya Mittal, National President of the United Doctors' Front (UDF), posted on X, calling the development a big win for resident doctors. After todays DGHS meeting, it is confirmed 48 hours/week fixed duty hours will replace the vague term reasonable, he said, adding that allowance revisions were also approved. Dr Dhruv Chauhan, National Spokesperson for the Indian Medical AssociationJunior Doctors Network (IMA-JDN), said, It was a fruitful meeting, and they have taken note of all the concerns we raised, including ensuring 48 hours/week fixed duty hours for all resident doctors. Allowances revision for doctors and fixed amounts for thesis and books were also approved in the meeting and taken further for implementation, he told this paper. In addition to duty hours, the meeting addressed a wide range of concerns including hostel facilities, thesis grants, assistant professor salaries, and health benefits for postgraduate and senior resident doctors.

'Will soon expose conspirators': Mamata on Murshidabad violence; to visit site in May
KOLKATA: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday asserted that outsiders were responsible for the violence that erupted in parts of Murshidabad district over the Waqf Act recently, and said she would visit the troubled areas in the first week of May to evaluate the situation. Banerjee also said her government would soon expose the conspirators behind the riots that took place in two wards of Dhulian in the district. The violence was unfortunate. We do not want riots. Some outsiders orchestrated it, but we will expose them and their conspiracy, she said at an administrative programme in Midnapore. I have promised the families of those killed in the violence to give a compensation of Rs 10 lakh each. We will also rebuild their houses under the 'Banglar Bari' scheme... I will be going there in the first week of May and evaluate the situation, Banerjee said. The CM also said that the state government could take responsibility for the education of the children of those killed in the violence. We are surveying the damages faced by the shopkeepers there, she said. Governor C V Ananda Bose had on April 19 met family members of a man and his son, who were killed after protests against the Waqf (Amendment) Act turned violent in Murshidabad district, and assured them of all possible support. At least three people died and over 280 have been arrested in connection with the violence earlier this month. Murshidabad violence: SC raps petitioner over allegations in PIL, asks him to file better petition
KOLKATA: Teachers who have been rendered jobless following a Supreme Court verdict and on an indefinite sit-in before the West Bengal School Service Commission headquarters, on Tuesday accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of making false promises of job security. They also alleged that the SSC has lost all credibility after its failure to publish the list of untainted candidates and, by extension, identifying the deserving teachers, by the deadline of 6 pm on Monday. The CM, earlier in the day, urged the protesting teachers to return to work, assuring them that her government will protect their salaries. You don't need to worry about who is tainted and who is not. You only need to worry about whether you have your job and whether you are getting your salaries on time. The list to identify the tainted and untainted teachers remains with the government and the courts, Banerjee said at an administrative programme in Midnapore. We assure that your jobs are safe for now, and you will get your salaries. Please return to your schools and resume classes. I have spoken about this several times since last night. We are with you, she said. Banerjee also warned the protesting teachers not to fall prey to those trying to provoke them. Had I been in Kolkata, I could have solved the issue within seconds. Do not pay heed to those who are provoking you. Let the state government look after it, she said. The CM asked us not to be apprehensive about the list of the tainted and untainted. She said the government will take care of that. After their failure to come up with the list of untainted candidates on the SSC website as promised on April 22, do they have any more credibility? Samirul Islam, a retrenched teacher of Malda district, told PTI sitting in front of the SSC office. He alleged that the state government is only trying to buy time so that the movement fizzles out. About Banerjee's statement that the state has not put a brake on their salary, Dipankar Bhowmik, a jobless teacher of Dakshin Dinajpur district, said, What she has claimed will not stand judicial scrutiny. She has not uttered a single word about the continuation of our job till retirement after the annulment in the Supreme Court order on April 3. We are not ready to buy her hollow promises. The Supreme Court on April 17 extended till December 31 the services of terminated teachers found untainted by the CBI. Promita Mallick, a teacher of Malda, asserted that the CM's promise of solving the impasse in seconds had she been in Kolkata holds no significance. She hasn't cared to visit us or meet us all this while. She is only interested in rhetoric. What prevented her from addressing the issue in the past one year? she asked. Altogether 25,753 teaching and non-teaching staff of state-run and -aided schools lost their jobs after the Supreme Court found large-scale irregularities in the 2016 recruitment process and scrapped the entire panel on April 3. Education Minister Bratya Basu also requested the agitators to refrain from doing anything that might weaken the review petition that the state government was planning to file before the Supreme Court. Speaking to reporters in the afternoon, the education minister informed that the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education, in its April 17 appeal before the Supreme Court to modify its April 3 order, had submitted by means of an affidavit that 17,502 recruited teachers and non-teaching staff from the 2016 panel have 'not been specified as tainted. Those who lost their jobs claimed that the reason behind their plight was the inability of the SSC, which appointed them, to differentiate between the candidates who secured employment through fraudulent means and those who did not.

IPL 2025: Pujara Calls Out Unclear Communication And Bowling Failure In KKRs Defeat
Kolkata Knight Riders: India Test batter Cheteshwar Pujara has weighed in on Kolkata Knight Riders alarming batting approach in their 39-run loss to Gujarat Titans, questioning not just Venkatesh Iyers lack of intent but also the teams planning and communication from the dugout. Venkatesh was promoted to No. 4 to counter Gujarats left-arm spinner Sai Kishore and leg-spinner Rashid Khan. However, the left-hander failed to justify the move, scoring a scratchy 14 off 19 balls without hitting a boundary. I do agree that Venkatesh didnt play the role he should have. But was he told to just survive? Was the message from the dugout to simply knock it around when Rashid was bowling? Pujara said on ESPNcricinfos Time Out For Pujara, it wasnt just about individual decision-making but a larger question of tactical clarity. Timeouts exist for a reason. When you realise things arent working, the support staff must intervene and give a clear directive. That seems to have been missing. Pujara also turned the spotlight on KKRs bowling, which he believes allowed GT to post 198 on a surface that wasnt as flat as the score suggested. The pitch had enough turn. If youre conceding over 60 runs in the last five overs on such a surface, then your execution is lacking. They shouldve restricted them to around 180, he said. KKR were 68 for 2 after 10 overs, needing 131 more at 13 runs per over. The lack of urgency and misreading of the pitch cost them dearlymuch like their previous match against Punjab Kings, where they couldnt chase 112. Its not just about batting collapse; its about failing to understand whats needed at the moment. They were behind in all departmentsstrategy, clarity, and execution, Pujara said. KKR were 68 for 2 after 10 overs, needing 131 more at 13 runs per over.

IPL 2025: KKR Werent Playing To Win, Never Even Attempted To Dominate, Says Finch
Kolkata Knight Riders: Former Australia captain Aaron Finch criticised Kolkata Knight Riders lack of urgency in their 39-run defeat to Gujarat Titans, calling it a case of tactical misjudgement and timid batting. His strongest words were reserved for Venkatesh Iyer, whose slow-paced 14 off 19 balls effectively stalled KKRs chase. You cant score boundaries if youre not looking to hit them. Venkateshs first instinct was to just tap it into the leg side and jog a single. Thats not how you chase 200, Finch said on ESPNcricinfos Time Out. Venkatesh came in at No. 4, with KKR at 43 for 2 inside the powerplay. Instead of counterattacking, he got bogged down by Sai Kishore and Rashid Khan and never looked like breaking free. Finch felt this was the turning point that sapped momentum from the innings. They had nine batters. That tells me they shouldve attacked upfront. Instead, they played it safe, hoping for a miracle later. Once the required rate hit 13, it was game over. KKR were 68 for 2 at the halfway mark, needing over 13 per over. Finch said this approach made no sense given the batting depth they had. They werent playing to win. It was almost like, Lets get to 160 and not be embarrassed. Thats a horrible mindset for a side chasing 199. Finch also called out KKRs timid attitude in context of their recent 16-run loss to Punjab Kings, where they failed to chase 112. It looked like that loss scarred them. They were so cautious that they never even attempted to dominate. KKR were 68 for 2 at the halfway mark, needing over 13 per over. Finch said this approach made no sense given the batting depth they had. They werent playing to win. It was almost like, Lets get to 160 and not be embarrassed.

IPL 2025: Rayudu Lauds GT Captain Gill's Incredible 90 Against KKR
Kolkata Knights Riders: Former India batter Ambati Rayudu lauded Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill's 90-run knock against Kolkata Knights Riders at Eden Gardens on Monday. Rayudu termed it incredible batting by the opening batter who hammered 10 fours and three sixes in his 55-ball stay and guided them to 198/3. Gill and Sai Sudharsan were involved in a 114-run opening stand as the latter scored 36-ball 52 to lay the foundation for Jos Buttler to score 23-ball 41 laced with eight fours. Prasidh Krishna and Rashid Khan bagged two scalps each to power Gujarat to a commanding 39-run win. Rayudu analysed Gills fluent knock and his ability to adapt on a tough pitch. It all started with Harshit Rana bowling those two wide deliveries - Gill was struggling a bit before that. But after that, he really found his rhythm. We saw some incredible shots - pure cricketing strokes. That slog sweep against Sunil Narine was especially impressive. It wasnt an easy shot to execute, and he managed runs all around the pitch. That shows batsmanship - boundaries along the ground, intelligent placement. It speaks to the quality he has and the strength of the top-order partnerships. Thats how you bat on a slow, sluggish pitch. Incredible batting by Shubman Gill, Rayudu said on Hotstar. Rayudu also praised Sudharsan for his classical approach and composure at the crease this IPL season. It gives us such joy to watch him bat. As a classical batsman, he shows how the game can still be played in a traditional style - use the pace of the ball, play under your eyes, keep it along the ground, and play smart cricket. Playing smart cricket brings runs and also builds confidence. When you have that kind of confidence in the dugout, it creates a ripple effect. Everyone feeds off that momentum, and your judgment and clarity of thought become top-notch. Thats what were seeing with him this season, he said.

Defending 198, Krishna returned the figures of 2-25 in his four overs, while Rashid Khan also finished with identical figures to restrict Kolkata Knight Riders to 159/8 in 20 overs to guide GT to a 39-run win at Eden Gardens. The win also placed them at the top of the table with 12 points in eight games. With 16 wickets in eight matches, the 29-year-old is the leading wicket in the tournament and enjoys a healthy gap with second-placed Kuldeep Yadav, who has 12 wickets in seven games for Delhi Capitals. Hes the purple cap holder at the moment, and his rhythm just keeps getting better. We know he has that extra bit of pace to work with, but you have to admire the strength he brings during the middle phase of the game. As a captain, having a seamer who can make that kind of impact in the middle overs is absolutely priceless. He now finds himself with the most wickets in this years tournament - by some margin, actually, by four. Its great to see him growing as a player, evolving across formats, and now being rewarded with national honours as well, Morgan said on JioHotstar. It was also the second time when KKR's batting collapsed following their humiliating 16-run loss against Punjab Kings in the last match while chasing a mere 112. Morgan further dissected KKR's performance and their inability to bounce back in the match which led to the second successive home defeat in the season for the defending champions. Kolkata Knight Riders has simply not bounced back as well as we would have liked them to. Its always a good sign for a strong team with a lot of character around, but they had the same failures that theyve shown throughout the tournament. They made a couple of changes, mainly to try and gain some impetus in their batting line-up, and it didnt necessarily come off. Were the changes worth it? They'll sit back and say no. It was interesting to hear Ajinkya Rahane talk about 199 being a chaseable score. Because towards the back end of Gujarat Titans innings, we thought the ball held up more than we expected. That made finding boundaries harder. But there was no rhythm, no substantial partnerships - almost the polar opposite of what Gujarat Titans displayed today, Morgan said.

IAF Wing Commander booked for attempt to murder in road rage case in Bengaluru
BENGALURU: Indian Air Force Wing Commander Shiladitya Bose who was in news the whole Monday following his two videos on his Instagram account accusing a biker of abusing him and his wife in Kannada and attacking him with a bike key and a stone has landed in deep trouble as he is booked in an attempt to murder case under section 109 of the BNS. He is also booked under few more sections of BNS. A case has been registered on Shiladitya Bose in Baiyappanahalli police station on complaint given by Vikas kumar Crime number 87/25 US 109,115(2),304.324,&352 BNS on Monday evening at 7 pm, D Devaraja, DCP, East, told media. The police in all probability will ask Bose to appear before the investigating officer. If he does not respond, a team of policemen will go to Kolkata to arrest him. Section 109 of BNS is non-bailable. Under the section, Bose is not eligible for bail easily and may need to remain in custody while awaiting trial. The offense is also cognizable, meaning police can arrest Bose without a warrant, and non-compoundable, meaning the case cannot be settled out of court. It may be recalled that Bose in his two videos on Monday had stated that Vikas had attacked him with a key and a stone. The incident happened around 6.20 am when Bose's wife, Madhumitha Dutta, a Squadron Leader was going to drop him to a bus stop near Gopalan Mall on the Old Madras Road. Bose had to go to airport to catch a flight to Kolkata to take his father to a hospital for surgery. Based on the complaint filed by Madhumitha, the Baiyappanahalli police had arrested Vikas on Monday afternoon after booking a case of causing hurt with dangerous weapon under section 118 of the BNS. However, the incident took an interesting turn by evening after more videos of the incident became viral. In these videos, Bose was clearly seen thrashing and kicking Vikas. Despite passersby tried to stop Bose, he kept beating Vikas. Later in the evening few pro Kannada activists gathered near the Baiyappanahalli police station and demanded action against Bose for attacking Vikas and also for playing a victim card and making the incident a language issue. Vikas's brother Bharath also urged the police to initiate action against Bose. Further investigations are on.
'Didn't Get The Start We Wanted And Faltered In The End', Bravo Admits After KKR's Loss To GT
After Kolkata Knight Riders: After Kolkata Knight Riders suffered their fifth loss of the IPL 2025, mentor Dwayne Bravo admitted that the defending champions didn't get the start they wanted in their chase and also faltered at the end to slump to a 39-run loss against Gujarat Titans. Chasing a target of 200 runs, KKR captain Ajinkya Rahanes half-century went in vain as his side eventually fell short in the contest. Not shying away from the result, team mentor Dwayne Bravo said, We didnt score enough runs. Credit to our bowling group, they did a fantastic job restricting them to under 200 and really gave us a chance at the halfway stage. Unfortunately, we didnt get the start we wanted in the powerplay and faltered in the end. Shedding some light on the tactical decisions that led to the talented young batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi batting at number nine, Bravo shared, We didnt start the game for him to bat at number nine, but the way the game panned out, eventually, he ended up there. Were one of those teams that are blessed to have quality left-handers and right-handers in our top order. So, we try to use that to the best of our ability, especially when the opposition has quality spinners. Unfortunately, Angkrish had to keep sliding down the order. Further highlighting the young batters positive performances throughout the season, Bravo added, He is one of the better players in the setup in terms of the runs scored this season. However, after the powerplay, we knew they (Gujarat Titans) were going to come up with their left-arm orthodox and leg spinners. So, we always wanted to have that left-right combination. Asked if the form of fellow West Indian Andre Russell is a concern, Bravo backed his former teammate, saying, Russell is an experienced and a successful player. When he walks in to bat every time, there are only 14-15 deliveries left. So, the work that needs to be done is tough. We need to give him a chance to finish like he is accustomed to doing over the years for KKR. We need to back our finishers and allow them to finish games. The finishers have had a lot of success in the past so its important to try and back them. Theres a fine line between backing a player and trying to come up with the best combination that we can try that could give the team the spark that its missing. So, its something we have to discuss as a group and then look forward to the next game, Bravo concluded. Asked if the form of fellow West Indian Andre Russell is a concern, Bravo backed his former teammate, saying, Russell is an experienced and a successful player. When he walks in to bat every time, there are only 14-15 deliveries left. So, the work that needs to be done is tough.

IPL 2025: All-round GT Maintain Pole Position With 39-run Win Over KKR (ld)
Kolkata Knight Riders: Gujarat Titans (GT) got rewarded for sticking to their calm, low-risk approach with the bat by registering a 39-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens on Monday. On a slow pitch, GT posted a competitive 198/3 and then restricted an out of sorts KKR to 159/8 and maintain their pole position in the points table. Captain Shubman Gills excellent 90 off 55 balls spearheaded GTs batting efforts. He shared a 114-run opening partnership with B Sai Sudharsan, who hit 52 off 36 balls and became the tournaments new leading run-getter. Jos Buttler provided for finishing touches with his unbeaten 41 off 23 balls. Despite concerns about GTs score and lack of risk taking, their relentless bowling attack, led by Prasidh Krishna and Rashid Khan taking two wickets each, proved to be decisive for the visitors to secure a clinical win their sixth victory of the ongoing season. Pushed into batting first, GT had a sedate start as Sudharsan smartly cut and then brought out a gorgeous cover drive to take two boundaries off Vaibhav Arora in the third over. Gill got going by slicing Harshit Rana for consecutive fours, before greeting Varun Chakaravarthy with another slice fetching him yet another boundary as GT ended power-play at 46/0. After that, Gill upped his attacking game by dancing down the pitch and smacking Moeen Ali for six, before flicking and sweeping for consecutive fours. Gill and Sudharsan continued to bat effortlessly against Chakaravarthy, Sunil Narine and Harshit Rana. After Gill reached his third fifty of this season off 34 balls, Sudharsan brought up his fifth half-century of the tournament off 33 balls in the same over, as their opening stand went past hundred. KKRs move to bring in Andre Russell brought them immediate reward as Sudharsan went for a cut off the short ball, but only managed to get a faint edge and give regulation catch for keeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the 13th over. Buttler hit the ground running with five boundaries in his 12 balls coming off a pull, a drive over extra cover, a scoop over third man, a top-edge on reverse sweep and Arora dropping the catch off his drive at mid-off, as the ball ran away to the fence. Gill upped his strike-rate by tonking and pulling Chakaravarthy for consecutive boundaries, before slog-sweeping Narine for six. He then pulled and sliced Arora for six and four, before whipping straight to forward diving cow corner for 90. Despite Rahul Tewatia holing out to deep cover off Rana, Buttler hit three boundaries in the last two overs, as 59 runs came off the last five overs. In the chase, KKRs change at the top-order didnt work as Mohammed Siraj trapped Rahmanullah Gurbaz lbw in the opening over, with the batter burning a review as well. Ajinkya Rahane continued his good run by flicking, ramping, flat-batting and driving to fetch four quick boundaries. Though Sunil Narine tried to break free by whacking a four and six off Siraj, he pulled straight to deep backward square leg off Rashid, as KKR ended power-play at 45/2. With the ball gripping and holding along with variable bounce in play, it meant GT spinners were very disciplined in keeping KKR at a tight leash, as they didnt concede a boundary from overs 5-10. Rahane finally got a move on when he lofted and pulled Washington Sundar for four and six. Despite Venkatesh Iyer holing out to deep mid-wicket off R Sai Kishore, Rahane went on to bring up his fifty off 36 balls. Shortly after, he reached out to a quicker wide ball off Washington Sundar, but missed it and was duly stumped by Jos Buttler. Though Andre Russell swung hard to get his boundaries, he along with Ramandeep Singh and Moeen Ali fell without doing much two of which were bagged by Krishna - as the match eventually went in a rampaging GTs favour.

Kolkata Knight Riders: After B Sai Sudharsan grabbed the Orange Cap in IPL 2025 through his score of 52 off 36 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), the left-handed batter said he has been enjoying batting with skipper Shubman Gill, adding that his experience has helped him do well in the competition.

Captain Shubman Gill: Captain Shubman Gill top-scored with an excellent 55-ball 90 as Gujarat Titans posted a competitive 198/3 in their 20 overs against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens on Monday.
