Shashank: ''My Focus Was to Keep Game Going Long, Identify Bowlers to Target''
Shashank: ''My Focus Was to Keep Game Going Long, Identify Bowlers to Target'' Shashank Singh said his ability to pick the bowlers and take the game deep helped him produce the blistering unbeaten 68 off 28 balls, which played a big role in Punjab Kings' record-breaking eight-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL. When Shashank entered the field, PBKS needed 84 runs in 7.3 overs to overhaul KKR's daunting 261 for six. Jonny Bairstow, the eventual centurion, was then batting at the other end on 93 off 39 balls. However, Shashank did not bat an eyelid while knocking off 68 runs (2x4, 8x6) in that period as Bairstow added just 15 off nine balls during their third wicket alliance, which saw Punjab raising the bar for the highest run chase in T20s. Before this, in the pre-camp and in the domestic matches, I was batting to make sure I could take the game as deep as possible. I knew I'd be batting around 5-7 in the IPL, so I have been planning on how to take my innings deep, said Shashank on JioCinema. But there was a lot of cricketing smarts too in his innings as Shashank left alone KKR spinner Sunil Narine while focussing on other bowlers to collect his runs. I know that Sunil Narine is a world-class bowler, so I knew there was no point in over-attacking him. He's someone to hit singles, doubles, or nudge the ball towards the boundary. There were other bowlers to target, so my aim was to take it deep and pick my bowlers to target, he said. In fact, Shashank faced seven balls out of 28 from Narine and scored just three runs, while putting other bowlers through the wringer, making the remaining 65 off 21 balls. The 32-year-old said his own experience and talks with his father and coaches at PBKS helped him in his journey. If we talk about smartness, it's coming with experience. Secondly, I spend a lot of time discussing cricket with my father. Last time when I got out too quickly, my dad told me that I should've played further back because it was a slow wicket. I have these conversations with my father at home and the world-class coaches who are here. I enjoy asking questions and understanding what they do. I think if I take clues from them, it'll improve my cricket, he added.
Narine surpasses Ashwin to claim fifth spot in IPL wicket-takers' list

IPL 2024: Hayden Labels Bairstows Unbeaten 108 As one Of The Great Innings Of T20 History
Star Sports Cricket Live: Former Australia cricketer Matthew Hayden heaped praise on Punkab Kings' extraordinary batting and called it a perfect chase after the Kings set the record of highest successful chase against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens. After openers Phil Salt and Sunil Narine slammed rollicking half-centuries while sharing an opening partnership of 138 runs in 10.2 overs to propel KKR to a mammoth 261/6, Prabhsimran Singh laid the foundation with a quick fifty, before Bairstow and Shashank dished out sensational knocks as PBKS now own the record for highest successful chase in T20 history. Yeah, it had to be the perfect run chase and it was, said Hyaden on Star Sports Cricket Live. I mean inside that power play they were extraordinary. They absolutely roasted anyone that came across them apart from Narine. It was a beacon of hope for just cutting short this enormous run chase. But reality is these batters are getting so good at hitting balls. It is a batting thon this IPL. And we are seeing some extraordinary scenes. Tonight who would have ever thought that we were going to witness something as grand as what we saw here. From Jonny Bairstow who hasn't been at this tournament of any kind of note this IPL, and he has arrived with a terrific hundred. Riding on the back of Jonny Bairstows unbeaten 108 and Shashank Singhs unbeaten 68, Kings' chased down the the biggest total of T20 history on Friday. The stage was set at the iconic Eden Gardens, where Punjab Kings embarked on an audacious chase of 262 runs. Jonny Bairstow, returning to the Kings' lineup after a stint on the sidelines, took center stage with a breathtaking display batting as he bludgeoned an unbeaten 108 off just 48 deliveries. Shashank Singh thrust into the spotlight at No. 4, embraced the challenge with gusto, smashing an unbeaten 68 off 28 balls to cement his status as one of the season's standout performers. Friday's fixture also produced the most sixes (42) in a T20 match. It surpassed the 38 hits by Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians in Hyderabad last month and by Royal Challengers Bengaluru and SRH in Bengaluru last week. One of the great things that Jonny Bairstow said there is that it was an important way that we had to start. I mean we were working out before that his first game in T20 cricket was back in 2010. And he also had mentioned as well that the calmness at the crease. To be calm when you know you've got to break a record. In the history of IPL cricket, to win and still to have that presence. They're almost like forces batters into an absolute no-loss situation. They just go out with clarity. With definition. And they just have to do it. That calmness is such a unique element under pressure. And we've seen that delivered a few times, haven't we, this IPL. So we're seeing something very special here. And we have all these great conversations in the green room here as we're waiting. And our four bowlers, they've got the brunt of why it is under pressure they're not executing this IPL like we've seen, he added.
Varsity students keen to vote, say it's only way to fight corruption, address government failures .
KOLKATA: First-time voters from higher education campuses of the city expressed their resolve to exercise their franchise in the Lok Sabha polls on grounds that the real issues' confronting the student community and society at large would otherwise remain unaddressed. They argue that turning their backs on the festival of democracy' would mean issues like stalemates in the functioning of universities, recruitment scams occupying centre-space, and basic needs of food, shelter, and livelihood would be relegated to the political backburner. Ritushree, a first-time voter from Presidency University in central Kolkata, is determined to vote. She seeks a government free from religious exploitation and controversies surrounding educational institutions. A student of philosophy, Ritushree feels that the fundamental needs of food, shelter, and clothing are getting neglected in the poll discourse of parties.Despite the disillusionment, she believes in the importance of voting. I believe my vote can bring about a change. I will reach the polling booth before the closing hours, she told PTI. Another group of students, chatting away not far from where Ritushree interacted with this correspondent, also shared their concerns. Third-year Arts faculty student Kaustav Dey said safeguarding the autonomy of educational institutions amidst perceived interference by state and central authorities was the need of the hour. Forget about bigger national and regional issues. If you look at the direction in which the education sector is moving, I feel we must do our bit by electing a representative who will bring about a change through which institutional autonomies are restored and student body elections are brought back to fight for the community's issues, Dey added. Sayan Dutta, an SFI member, expressed dismay at the divisive campaigning and corruption plaguing the current political landscape. He advocated for responsible voting to counter these challenges. We often discuss the situation among ourselves. There is too much toxicity and negativity all around. If we don't stand up to the situation, history will not forgive us, he said. Students also highlighted issues like the SSC job crisis and insensitive political rhetoric across parties as triggers for their commitment to vote. I was stunned to disbelief after knowing that the jobs of 26,000 teachers were taken away, said Tista Adhikari, a first-year student, referring to the Calcutta High Court verdict that scrapped state School Service Commission appointments for the 2016 batch. The majority of them cannot be faulted since they were victims of the recruitment system devised by people whom we had voted for, she argued. Nodding in agreement, Soujatro Mukhejee, Tista's batchmate, chipped in, The Centre has taken away the rights of students' democratic movement in JNU and BHU while security forces raided the Jamia campus during anti-CAA protests. A student of Tata Institute of Social Sciences was recently penalised for participating in a peaceful movement outside campus. We need to elect someone who will be different from the two regimes at the Centre and state. A clean, transparent and liberal government will work for the education sector, she said. At Jadavpur University in the southern extent of the city, Joyadrita, a final year undergraduate student, stressed on the importance of voting as a means to address societal polarisation and governmental failures, including corruption scandals and crimes against women. Even if we set aside the increasing polarisation in society for the time being, crimes against women, the chilling Sandeshkhali incidents, and the ration and teachers' recruitment scams have already given a bad name to the state, she said. Concerned over the employment scenario in the state in the wake of the recruitment scandals, she said, The future of students is at stake. I will soon start hunting for jobs. What kind of future do you think awaits us if jobs in the government sector are riddled with scams? Partha Pratim Roy, a senior professor at JU, underscored the collective anxiety among students, both politically engaged and academically focused, regarding the nation's direction and the state of educational institutions. Both the New Education Policy of the Centre and its state counterpart are aimed at corporatising the state-funded education sector and creating obstacles for poor and meritorious students.They suffered on account of the prolonged impasse and run-ins between the Governor and the state government over academics and administration.As emotional youngsters, they want to make their voices heard through the EVMs, Roy said.

Punjab Kings Defeated Kolkata Knight Riders On their Home Ground At Eden Gardens And Scripted World Record For Highest Ever Successful Chase In The T20 Format
Kolkata Knight Riders: Jonny Bairstow slammed an unbeaten 108 while Shashank Singh shone with 68 not out as Punjab Kings completed a record chase of 262 to secure an eight-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders in an absolute run-fest in Match 42 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 witnessed by 55,767 fans at the Eden Gardens on Friday. After openers Phil Salt and Sunil Narine slammed rollicking half-centuries while sharing an opening partnership of 138 runs in 10.2 overs to propel KKR to a mammoth 261/6, Prabhsimran Singh laid the foundation with a quick fifty, before Bairstow and Shashank dished out sensational knocks as PBKS now own the record for highest successful chase in T20 history. For Bairstow, this was a much-needed second IPL century, with his 108 coming off 48 balls and aided by eight fours and nine sixes after being dropped due to poor form. Fridays knock boosts his chances of entering Englands squad for the T20 World Cup. Shashanks whirlwind 68 not out came off 28 balls, laced with two fours and eight sixes. Amidst the carnage, Sunil Narine was still at his economical best, with figures of 1-24. The win now takes PBKS to eighth place in the points table. With the ball coming nicely on the bat, PBKS hit a whopping 24 sixes in their chase, the most maximums coming in an IPL innings. Overall, 42 sixes were hit in the match, which is the most maximums hit in a mens T20 match. Chasing 262, Bairstow got off the mark by mistiming a drive off Dushmantha Chameera in the opening over. Impact player Prabhsimran Singh flicked and upper-cut Harshit Rana for a brace of sixes in the second over, before taking two fours and as many sixes off Chameera in the next over. The introduction of Anukul Roy and Sunil Narine didnt do much to stop the boundary flow as Prabhsimran got his fifty in just 18 balls with a swept six. Bairstow hit three fours and two sixes against Anukul Roy in the last over of Power-play, before Prabhsimran was run out on the final ball as PBKS ended the phase at 93/1. But Bairstow continued to unleash carnage on KKRs bowlers, getting his fifty off 23 balls by slogging Varun Chakravarthy over long-off for six on the fifth ball of the ninth over. From overs 10-13, Bairstow blasted seven boundaries, despite losing Rilee Rossouw to Narine. Shashank came in to hit two sixes and a four, followed by Bairstow reaching his century in just 45 balls off Harshit Rana. Shashank then carted Chameera for three sixes, before hitting two more maximums and a four off Harshit to get his fifty. He and Bairstow hit three more boundaries collectively to complete a mammoth chase with eight balls to spare. Earlier, Salt made 75, while Narine slammed 71 as the duo were also helped by PBKS dropping their three catches collectively in the first seven overs to smash the bowlers to all parts of the park. After the duo fell, Andre Russell, Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer brought out the big hits to take KKR past 260, with the help of 22 fours and 18 sixes. Salt and Narines 138-run stand is the second-highest opening partnership by any KKR pair in IPL history behind the unbeaten 184-run partnership between Chris Lynn and Gautam Gambhir against Gujarat Lions on April 7, 2017. Pushed into batting first, Narine began by driving a juicy half-volley from Sam Curran for four. He then hit Arshdeep Singh for a six and four before being dropped by Harpreet Brar off Harshal Patel in the third over. Salt joined the boundary-hitting party with a four sandwiched between two sixes. The carnage continued as Salt drove Kagiso Rabada through the line for four before Narine slammed two fours and six on the last three balls of the fourth over. The duo hit three more boundaries before Salt had a reprieve in the last over of power-play as KKR signed off from the phase with 76/0. After that, Salt was given another life when Rabada dropped a chance off Rahul Chahar, making it the third time PBKS shelled a chance. Narine reverse-swept, drove and sliced for his boundaries to reach his fifty in only 23 balls before Salt swivelled and lapped off Rabada for four and six respectively. Salt would get a 25-ball fifty, his third half-century of the season, by dispatching Chahar through extra cover for four, as KKR reached 137/0 at the halfway mark. PBKS finally held on to a catch as Narine holed out to long-on off Curran, falling for 71 off just 32 balls. Two overs later, Salt was castled by Curran for a 37-ball 75. Russell clubbed two fours and as many sixes in his 12-ball 24, before hooking to square leg off Arshdeep. Shreyas pulled, drove, flicked and sliced to hit Curran for four and three sixes in his 10-ball 28, before giving a catch to deep third man off Arshdeep in the 19th over. Venkatesh, Rinku Singh and Ramandeep Singh hit some boundaries at the end to take KKR past 260, which was insufficient to stop PBKS from hunting it down with ridiculous ease. Brief scores: Kolkata Knight Riders 261/6 in 20 overs (Phil Salt 75, Sunil Narine 71; Arshdeep Singh 2-45, Rahul Chahar 1-33) lost to Punjab Kings 262/2 in 18.4 overs (Jonny Bairstow 108 not out, Shashank Singh 68 not out; Sunil Narine 1-24) by eight wickets

Kolkata: In a broad daylight raid and search operation, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and National Security Guard (NSG) have recovered a cache of fire-arms including foreign weapons, ammunition and bombs from a house at Sandeshkhali in North 24 Parganas of West Bengal.

Foreign-Made Revolvers Seized in CBI Sandeshkhali Raid: Cache of Arms Discovered
Foreign-Made Revolvers Seized in CBI Sandeshkhali Raid: Cache of Arms Discovered The CBI seized arms and ammunition, including foreign-made firearms, during searches at multiple locations in West Bengal's Sandeshkhali on Friday in connection with the January attack on an Enforcement Directorate team by a mob allegedly instigated by now-suspended TMC leader Shajahan Sheikh, officials said. Teams of the Central Bureau Investigation (CBI), the bomb detection squad, the National Security Guard (NSG), the central paramilitary forces and the West Bengal Police were part of the searches at the village -- a riverine delta -- on the fringes of the Sunderbans in North 24 Parganas district. ''During investigation of this case, information was received that the items lost by the ED team and other incriminating articles may be hidden at the residence of an associate of Sheikh at Sandeshkhali, North 24 Parganas. Accordingly, the team of the CBI along with CRPF personnel searched two premises at Sandeshkhali today,'' the spokesperson of the CBI. The swift operation, till afternoon, resulted in the seizure of a huge cache of small arms and ammunition, and these included foreign-made pistols, the officials said. During the searches, the CBI seized three foreign-made revolvers and one foreign-made pistol, one Indian revolver, one Colt official issue police revolver, one country-made pistol, 120 nine mm bullets, 50 cartridges of .45 calibre, 120 nine mm cartridges, 50 cartridges of .380 and eight cartridges of .32, the spokesperson said. ''Besides, many incriminating documents related to Shajahan have also been recovered. Some items suspected to be country-made bombs have also been recovered, which are being handled and disposed of by the teams of the NSG,'' the spokesperson said in a statement. As officials spread across Sandeshkhali to search targetted locations, NSG units had the responsibility for detecting and handling explosives found during the operation, the officials said. Five teams of CBI officials, with support from the West Bengal Police, the central forces and the NSG, conducted a search at the house in Sarberia, a senior official said in Kolkata ''We had received specific information regarding the stockpiling of this huge cache of arms and ammunition, and explosives. Explosives stacked inside boxes have also been found. The search operation is underway,'' the official had told PTI during the operation. The owner of the house, identified as Abu Taleb Mollah, is a relative of Sheikh, sources in the CBI said and added that it was not clear why such a huge cache of arms and ammunition, and explosives were stacked inside the house. The house, which was cordoned off by security forces, was built amid water bodies used for fish farming. Central forces were used metal detectors outside the house to check whether more arms and ammunition were buried. A robotic device was also deployed for the purpose. The searches were launched in connection with the three FIRs that the CBI had registered related to the attack on the team of Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials in Sandeshkhali on January 5 when it had gone to raid the premises of Sheikh in connection with an alleged ration scam. On the orders of the Calcutta High Court, the central agency had registered three FIRs related to the incidents on January 5. The FIRs pertain to the alleged attack on ED officers by a mob on the complaint by officers, allegations against ED officials levelled by the guard of suspended TMC leader Sheikh and a suo motu case registered by the Nazat police station about the attack on ED officers. Sheikh was arrested by the West Bengal Police on February 29 in connection with the attack. After the attack by a mob of around 1,000 people in which three ED officials were injured, a deputy director of the agency had given a complaint to the superintendent of police, Basirhat.
