IPL 2025: Iyers Unbeaten 87 Powers PBKS To Title Clash With Five-wicket Win Over MI (ld)

Skipper Shreyas Iyer: Skipper Shreyas Iyer shined by slamming an unbeaten 87 off 4 balls as Punjab Kings entered the IPL 2025 final with a five-wicket win over Mumbai in Qualifier 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. PBKS will now meet Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the title clash on Tuesday, in what is a re-match of Qualifier 1 meeting. MI being knocked out of the competition also means that IPL will have a new champion come Tuesday. Iyer stood tall with a knock full of sheer class and immaculate composure, including pacing it to near perfection, and get his team over the line in a chase of 204 with an over to spare. Apart from hitting five fours and eight sixes, Iyer overcame early fluency struggles to single-handedly make PBKS win by literally leading from the front. He also shared a match-winning 84-run stand with Nehal Wadhera, who hit a blazing 29-ball 48. Iyer has now captained two different teams PBKS and Kolkata Knight Riders to back-to-back IPL finals. He also captained Delhi Capitals to IPL 2020 finals, and Qualifier 2s result has made him the only skipper to achieve this fascinating feat. Chasing 204, Prabhsimran Singh welcomed Trent Boult with a flicked four, before the left-arm pacer had the last laugh by having the right-handed batter top-edge a pull to a running short fine leg. Josh Inglis ensured PBKS didnt lose the plot early on by scooping and pulling Boult for two boundaries. Priyansh Arya stepped up the attacking mantle by flicking Reece Topley for four, before lofting him for six. The highlight of PBKS power-play came in the fifth over when Inglis carted Jasprit Bumrah for 20 runs a flicked four was followed by a heaved six, before another flicked boundary and a top-edged maximum came off his blade. But MI bounced back from that little onslaught as pacer Ashwani Kumar had Arya slicing to mid-off, with PBKS ending power-play at 64/2. Shortly after, Hardik Pandya struck when his off-cutter took a thin top-edge of Inglis pull and was caught by the keeper, with PBKS burning a review on their in-form batter. Though Iyer and Nehal Wadhera hit some boundaries, including three coming off Hardik Pandya in the tenth over and the latter being dropped on 13 by Boult, Ashwani and Bumrah bowling tight 11th and 12th overs meant the asking rate pushed to 12. Sensing the need to get back in the chase, Iyer hit a hat-trick of sixes off Topley a heave over backward square leg was followed by two lofts going over long-on and down the ground respectively. It was followed by Wadhera getting two boundaries off Boult, including one coming off the leading edge. He then greeted Ashwani by slamming him down the ground for six, before the pacer struck by having the batter miscue to mid-off. Iyer marched on to bring up his fifty off 27 balls by squeezing Boult through backward point for four. Though Shashank Singh was run-out cheaply, Iyer continued to open the bat face at the last moment to get two boundaries off yorkers. He then lofted Ashwani high over long-on for six, and followed it up by clobbering him over long-off on a free-hit. Iyer again lofted Ashwani over long-on for six, before launching him for another maximum to fire PBKS into an IPL final after 11 long years. Previously, after two hours and 15 minutes of rain playing hide and seek, as well as of oscillating between drizzle and heavy downpour, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and Naman Dhir dished out high tempo knocks to help MI post a challenging 203/6. Suryakumar and Varma hit knocks of 44 each while Dhir applied finishing touches with an 18-ball 37 to take MI past 200-mark, despite a PBKS fightback in between. Once the game began, PBKS had instant success as Rohit Sharma, dropped on four in the second over, pulled to deep square leg off Marcus Stoinis. After that, Varma and Jonny Bairstow brought out big shots from the word go. While Varma smacked Stoinis for a powerful six over long-on fence, Bairstow despite being outwitted by slower balls at times - got two fours off Arshdeep, including off a top-edge, before taking a boundary and six off Azmatullah Omarzai, as MI ended power-play at 65/1. Bairstows troubles against slower balls continued in front of Vyshak Vijaykumar, who troubled him with it and eventually had him caught behind off an attempted scoop through a knuckle ball in the eighth over. Varma, though, ran after Vyshak dispatching him down the ground for four, before lofting elegantly over long-off for six. Suryakumar, who struggled to time his scoops well, found his range by taking two sixes and a four off a returning Yuzvendra Chahals second and third overs the maximums coming off a sweep and loft down the ground, while the boundary came off a cut through backward point for four. After reaching out to slash and pull off Jamieson for two fours and go past 700 runs in this season, Suryakumar lofted Chahal for a four and six each, before the leg-spinner had the last laugh as the batter top-edged a sweep to deep mid-wicket. One brought two for PBKS as Varma mistimed his loft to mid-on off Jamieson, as MI lost both of their set batters in just three balls. Dhir began adding some impetus into the back-end of MIs innings by taking three fours off Arshdeep, including one coming off the top-edge, in the 17th over. He and Hardik Pandya took a four each off Omarzai, before the latter top-edged a pull to keeper on the last ball of the 18th over. With Arshdeep missing his lengths and PBKS forced to put only four fielders on the boundary ropes in last two overs due to over-rate penalty, Dhir nailed his pull and loft to pick two fours, before heaving Omarzai for another boundary. Though Dhir later hit straight to extra cover off Omarzai, MI managed to cross the 200-run mark - something which was a great psychological advantage in a knockout game. But Iyers blistering knock ensured PBKS put it aside and now have a shot at winning their first IPL title. With Arshdeep missing his lengths and PBKS forced to put only four fielders on the boundary ropes in last two overs due to over-rate penalty, Dhir nailed his pull and loft to pick two fours, before heaving Omarzai for another boundary.

After Shahs infiltration remarks, TMC says Centre, not state, guards borders

KOLKATA: The Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Wednesday strongly reacted to Union Home Minister Amit Shahs accusation that the West Bengal government was encouraging infiltration , asserting that border security is the responsibility of the BSF, which operates under the central government. Shah, who was on a two-day Bengal visit, alleged that the Mamata Banerjee-led government was not cooperating with the Centre in stopping illegal immigration from Bangladesh. Senior TMC leader and state minister Chandrima Bhattacharya said, It is the sole responsibility of the BSF to stop cross-border infiltration. The TMC is not guarding the borders that is the job of the BSF, which functions under the Union Home Ministry. If there is any issue, this should be resolved by the Centre. The state administration should not be blamed for border issues. Bhattacharya added, If someone accuses the TMC of permitting infiltration, I will point out that it is the BSFs responsibility to stop the menace. The home minister himself must ensure that the country's border is secured. During a rally in Bengal on Sunday, Shah alleged that the state had turned into a centre of infiltration, corruption and lawlessness under Banerjee's rule. He also accused the state government of deliberately withholding land needed for border fencing. Reacting to this, Bhattacharya said, The state has not blocked fencing. Land acquisition is a procedural matter and should not be politicised. TMC MP Sagarika Ghose also condemned Shahs remarks, stating that the Union home minister was behaving more like a BJP functionary than a constitutional authority. At a time when the All India Trinamool Congress is standing firmly with the Government of India, and when our national general secretary is abroad on an MPs delegation, speaking strongly for the Government of India and against Pakistan-based terrorism, none other than the home minister comes to Bengal and acts like a BJP worker and uses cheap language against our respected CM, Mamata Banerjee, Ghose said. The fact is that Amit Shah's politics is all about divide and rule, she added. Shri @AmitShah occupies the post once held by Sardar Patel but comes to Bengal and speaks sadak chap language against the Bengal CM @MamataOfficial Patel united india, Shah wants to divide and rule. @AITCofficial counters Amit Shah @HMOIndia pic.twitter.com/a8dkZYg5FK Sagarika Ghose (@sagarikaghose) June 1, 2025 In a sharp counter to Shah on social media platform X, the TMC posted, HM @AmitShah, elections are conducted under the supervision of Central Forces, deployed by the union govt, not the state. Are you admitting that free and fair elections arent possible even under your watch? Dont pass the buck, violence during elections is a failure of the Centre, not the state! Shah also alleged that political violence in Bengal continued unchecked, saying, Without the use of violence, even Mamata Didi would lose her deposits in the elections. , rigging HM @AmitShah , elections are conducted under the supervision of Central Forces, DEPLOYED BY THE UNION GOVT, not the State. Are you admitting that free and fair elections arent possible even under your watch? All India Trinamool Congress (@AITCofficial) June 1, 2025

Secularism must be a two-way street, says Pawan; Dont turn Bengal into North Korea, Kangana

Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan on Saturday appealed to West Bengal Police to act justly in the case of social media content creator and influencer Sharmishta Panoli, who was arrested from Haryana's Gurugram for allegedly sharing a communal video. The deputy chief minister asserted that lasphemy must be condemned but secularism should not be used as a shield. Blasphemy must be condemned, always! Secularism isnt a shield for some and a sword for others. It must be a two-way street. West Bengal Police, the nation is watching. Act justly for all, said Kalyan in a post on X. Sharmishta, a law student, spoke out egrettable and hurtful words on some with regard to Operation Sindoor, said the actorpolitician. She owned her mistake, deleted the video and apologized. The WB (West Bengal) Police swiftly acted, taking action against Sharmishta, claimed Kalyan. But what about the deep, searing pain inflicted upon millions when the elected leaders, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) MPs mock Sanatana Dharma, he said. Where is the outrage when our faith is called 'Gandha Dharm'? Where is their apology? Where is their swift arrest? asked the founder of the Janasena Party (JSP), an ally of the BJP. Meanwhile, Actor and BJP Lok Sabha MP Kangana Ranaut on Sunday strongly criticised the arrest of Panoli , calling it an excessive response to a now-deleted video that allegedly hurt religious sentiments. Harassing someone in the name of law and order is not good, Ranaut said. When someone has apologised and deleted the post, putting her in prison, torturing her, ending her career and raising questions on her character is very wrong. This should not happen with any daughter. In a pointed criticism of the West Bengal administration, the actor added, I urge the West Bengal government not to try to make the state into North Korea. Everyone has democratic rights. Ranaut also defended Panolis tone and language, saying, She had said everything in general, and today's generation uses such language very normallyboth in English and in Hindi. She should be released soon because she is a very young woman. She has her whole career and life ahead of her. #WATCH | Delhi: On the arrest of Sharmistha Panoli from Gurugram by Kolkata Police for allegedly hurting religious sentiments through her comments on social media, actor Kangana Ranaut says, Harassing someone in the name of law and order is not good.

Panoli, a resident of Kolkatas Anandapur neighbourhood and a law student at a university in Pune, was arrested by the Kolkata police from her residence in Gurugram on Friday night. Panoli was produced in a Kolkata court on Saturday, where her bail petition was denied. She was sent to judicial custody until June 13. While leaving the court, Panoli told reporters, The harassment you have done being in a democracy, this is not what democracy is. The video in question, now deleted, allegedly contained derogatory and disrespectful remarks aimed at a particular religious community, according to Kolkata Police officials. The video sparked significant backlash online, with users trolling Panoli and posting threatening comments. She later deleted the video and posted an apology on social media. Whatever was put are my personal feelings and I never intentionally wanted to hurt anybody. If anybody is hurt, Im sorry for the same. Henceforth, I will be cautious in my public post, she wrote on X. (With inputs from PTI)

TMC government being lenient over Anubrata Mondal issue: BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari

KOLKATA: Senior BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari expressed ire over TMC leader Anubrata Mondal not reporting to the police despite being summoned on Saturday in connection with his alleged derogatory and abusive language during a telephonic conversation with a police officer. He also alleged that the Mamata Banerjee government is being lenient on the issue. Adhikari, the leader of the opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, told reporters that had it been the regime of Yogi Adityanath in Uttar Pradesh, a foul-mouthed and abusive person like Mondal, who had demeaned the women of state by making despicable comments about the women family members of the officer, would have been collared and dragged to the police station and arrested. If you hear the conversation with IC Liton Halder, you will feel disgusted that such words can be uttered by a senior politician of the ruling party in the state. But it shows how the Trinamool Congress actually looks down on women. It also shows how it shields thug elements like Anubrata from the hands of law. Already there are attempts to cover up the issue and ensure he is not subjected to stringent punishment, he said. Former Congress MP and former WBPCC chairman Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said, Anubrata should be dragged to the police station. No action seems to have been taken against him by the administration even after 48 hours have elapsed after the incident. This is condemnable, he said. TMC state general secretary Kunal Ghosh said, We reiterate that Anubrata Mondal made offensive, despicable comments in his conversation with a police officer and used derogatory words against women. We condemned his act and asked him to apologise which he did. Whatever legal action is taken against him, we have nothing to comment, it will be as per the law. However, what about many similar crass, abusive and offensive comments made in the past by leaders of other opposition parties such as the BJP in the public. Did they even caution those leaders? he asked. Four of Mondal's counsel appeared on his behalf at the office of Bolpur SDPO on Saturday. A second notice was sent to the former TMC Birbhum district president asking him to turn up before the police on Sunday around 11 am for questioning. Mondal is unwell and could not appear today, one of his counsels said. The TMC on Friday condemned the derogatory and abusive language allegedly used by Mondal during the phone conversation with the police officer posted at the Bolpur police station. Mondal later issued a written apology, saying he could never imagine o insult any police personnel, from an ordinary constable to any senior officer. An audio clip, purportedly featuring Mondal's voice, went viral on social media. In the clip, he was allegedly heard threatening Halder that he would be dragged by his hair from his residential quarters to receive a deputation from Mondal's followers regarding police highhandedness in the area. He also made allegedly offensive, derogatory comments against women. PTI independently could not verify the authenticity of the audio clip. An FIR has been lodged against Mondal under various sections of the BNS, and later, a notice was issued for him at the TMC office, Superintendent of Police Amandeep said.

IPL 2025: GT Can't Drop That Many Catches And Expect To Win A Championship, Says Uthappa

After Gujarat Titans: After Gujarat Titans (GT) bowed out of IPL 2025 with a 20-run defeat to Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Eliminator, former India batter Robin Uthappa said the Shubman Gill-led side cannot expect to win the championship if they suffer catching lapses and suffer due to flaws in strategy. In New Chandigarh on Friday evening, GT dropped three important catches two of which were of Rohit Sharma, who went on to make a dashing 50-ball 81. Suryakumar Yadav was also given a reprieve in the 12th over, as MI made 228/5. GT also got their middle overs enforcer Prasidh Krishna to bowl with the new ball, a tactic which backfired as Rohit and Jonny Bairstow came out all guns blazing in the powerplay. GTs strategy was more reactive than proactive. Using Prasidh in the powerplay despite his success in middle overs was a misstep. His first over was expensive, and they failed to course-correct. The 26-run and 22-run overs proved costly. On top of that, their fielding let them down. You can't drop that many catches and expect to win a championship, said Uthappa on JioHotstar. Uthappa, who previously won IPL with Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings, reflected on how Rohit made a calculated shift in his batting approach after being given two reprieves. After the early drop, Rohit flirted with danger briefly but quickly recognised the need to take control. He shifted gears, played responsibly, found the gaps, and built key partnerships. His composure stood out. When players like Rohit, Dhoni, or Kohli are at the crease, the pressure is on everyone else. Sai Sudharsan is starting to reach that level too. With MI set to meet Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, Uthappa stated he expects a fierce battle between the two teams. The winner of Qualifier 2 will meet Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the title clash in Ahmedabad on June 3. After the early drop, Rohit flirted with danger briefly but quickly recognised the need to take control. He shifted gears, played responsibly, found the gaps, and built key partnerships.
