Sai Sudharsans backfoot game is unique, says coach Kotak
IND vs WI: India coach warns Sai despite 87 - 'He very much knows that'
India's batting coach Sitanshu Kotak identified a technical flaw in Sai Sudharsan's back foot play after his dismissal for 87. Kotak is working with the mentally strong youngster to refine this aspect, aiming to prevent him from playing back to overly full deliveries. Sudharsan's impressive innings, alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal's century, put India in a dominant position.
Arun Jaitley Stadium: India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak lauded B Sai Sudharsan for never being looked at from the outside as being under pressure or changing his style of batting after the left-hander compiled a composed 87 on day one of the second and final Test against West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday. Sudharsans innings, his second Test fifty and first fifty in India, laced with 12 boundaries, came in a game-defining 193-run stand with Yashasvi Jaiswal and helped India reach 318/2 at stumps. Sudharsan, who had scored just 147 runs in seven Tests so far and had been under a bit of scrutiny coming into the clash, walked in early after K.L. Rahuls dismissal and showed no signs of pressure. His back-foot dominant game against spin was on full display, with several crisp punches and drives through the off side -- two of which stood out against spinner Jomel Warrican. He even had a reprieve on 58 when short mid-wicket dropped his catch off medium pacer Justin Greaves. We all know how talented he is. Every time, probably you won't look at the score - you look at the batsman, how he's batting, pacing his innings, and what kind of shots he plays. Sometimes, in one or two innings, anybody can fail. But he batted brilliantly today. I don't think he's someone who is mentally very tough, but you'll never see him under pressure, and he changes his style of playing. Whatever it is, he always plays on the merit of the ball. So, the same way he batted today. One might think what will happen if Sai gets out again. But you will see from the first ball of his innings that he never looked to think that way, and this is the quality batter we all know, said Kotak in the post-day press conference. However, his preference for playing off the back foot also led to his dismissal, trapped lbw by a turning delivery from Warrican, something which Kotak did acknowledge can be improved upon for the future. See, Sai obviously, coming from Tamil Nadu, they play a lot on turning wickets. So, he's pretty good against spin. I think his back-foot game and some shots he plays on the back foot, not many players play. It's a lot of balls that he negotiates on the back foot, which most of the players would negotiate on the front foot. The only thing we talk about is that some of the very full balls also sometimes he plays on the back foot. So, we're trying to cut out on that. He very much knows that, and he tries for it. Obviously, if the line is outside the off stump, the same length, he could easily go front foot and play. The impact would be outside off stump like that. So, all that we discussed. But his overall game against spin is a lot more on the back foot than front foot. With his bat swing, the way he bats, the amount of power he generates on the back foot is also amazing. Some of the shots, if you've seen, through mid off, extra cover, mid wicket, and all - that is his strength. I don't think it makes any difference to him whether it is spinners or fast bowlers bowling - he bats equally well. I've been seeing him for the last 2-3 years in India A and all - England A series, he batted in 3 games, he got 100 and 199. I don't think wicket or anything matters to him. But I would definitely say that yes, on a turning track, he is a very, very good player and exactly knows what areas he needs to get better at as well, he elaborated. Sudharsans innings, marked by control and conviction, was a reflection of both his unflappable temperament and the teams backing in him being seen as a long-term investment at number three in Tests. Kotak concluded by reinforcing the idea that each batter has their own method of playing spin in the modern-day era. See, I honestly feel that it's more of a mindset thing - whether you step out or you have shots playing from the crease, I don't think it has to be any particular thing. Some guys play step-out shots well, while a few play sweep and cut well. Some guys are good at just staying on the wicket and playing on the front foot. So, every individual, the way they are brought up, and the conditions they have been brought up in. For me, the important thing is the temperament which we see in red-ball, which, honestly, I'm saying I was so happy seeing it in England because we planned that we'll play like this. Everybody, if you see, is very excited to see Jaiswal in the way he batted today. Even Gill, KL, and Jaddu batted very well. Anyone you take, even Washington, if you go back and you see that, the way they have approached it was a completely positive approach. We are trying to score 350-360 runs in a day, which is 4 and over. If we bowl 80 overs only, obviously, we still have 320, that kind of a score. So, we felt, with a positive intent also, the amount of skill our batters possess, I don't think everybody needs to have any particular kind of a game. So, every individual, the way they are brought up, and the conditions they have been brought up in. For me, the important thing is the temperament which we see in red-ball, which, honestly, I'm saying I was so happy seeing it in England because we planned that we'll play like this. Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score So, like today, Shubman, the first shot he played over mid-wicket, the ball was coming obviously slow, and probably he felt he wanted to start that way - a couple of good shots like that. There's nothing wrong, and at the same time, he may have got a top edge to get out, and we would feel what he has done. But in a dressing room, we know what we are trying to do, and I think most of the time, we are executing brilliantly. So, it's great to see the way we are playing in red ball as a batting unit.

2nd Test: India Batting Coach Kotak Lauds Jaiswals Determination And Adaptability
Arun Jaitley Stadium: India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak praised Yashasvi Jaiswals determination and tactical awareness after the openers unbeaten 173 helped India reach 318/2 at stumps on Day One of the second and final Test against West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Friday. Jaiswal, who hit 36 in the first Test in Ahmedabad, dished out a masterclass in tempo control while hitting his fifth 150-plus score, including hitting 22 boundaries. He absorbed pressure when there was an early swing, capitalised on loose deliveries in the day, and tightened up again when West Indies regained discipline later. His innings not only put India in control of the match but also showcased his remarkable consistency and conversion rate. As per stats from Cricket-21, of Jaiswals seven Test hundreds, five have been converted into scores of 150 or more - a conversion rate of 71%, second only to Dennis Amiss (73%) among batters with at least five centuries. He also ranks ahead of Zaheer Abbas (67%), Don Bradman (62%), and Virender Sehwag (61%) in this metric. Jaiswal now has five 150+ scores in Tests before turning 24, trailing only Sir Don Bradman, who had eight. He shares second place with legends like Javed Miandad, Graeme Smith, and Sachin Tendulkar, each with four such scores before the age of 24. For me, I think the determination he showed was important. The new ball was coming well on the bat in his first fifty, and then he did well in getting the second fifty too (on going from 50 to 100). But I felt after 60-65 overs, the ball, on turning old, was not coming well on the bat. So I think he took enough time, neither did he play a bad shot, and this is the same thing he told me at the tea time. It shows that in the last match, he missed out on a big innings, and the way he approached his batting today, I think it was brilliant, said Kotak in the post-day press conference. Now just 27 runs away from his third double century, Jaiswal is on the brink of equalling Sunil Gavaskar for the joint-second most 200s by an Indian opener in Tests. Only Virender Sehwag, with six double hundreds, stands ahead. If he reaches the milestone, Jaiswal will also join Graeme Smith for the second-most double centuries in Tests before turning 24, behind only Bradmans six. Known for his aggressive stroke-play, especially on playing the cut shot, Jaiswal impressed Kotak with his measured approach. See, I think you all know that he's very aggressive and likes to score runs quickly. According to the wicket, the way he adapted, the shots he decided on that wicket, what he felt with the bounce and pace of the wicket, was brilliant. For me, the most important factor was the determination he had to play a big innings. Obviously, he's still playing, but I think that determination and that belief, after not being so aggressive, also, he's batting on 173. So that shows how good he batted. In terms of selections of shots, what you are seeing in him playing square of the wicket, I think the players like him or any players at this level, will obviously see the conditions, wicket, bounce, bowlers, and then probably they will target the areas. So, I think he did it brilliantly today, he elaborated. On the pitch, Kotak described it as beautiful, while acknowledging natural wear and tear and subtle differences in spin from either end. I think it's a beautiful wicket. A score of 318/2 means it's a good wicket. Wear and tear will happen naturally where there is no grass, and footmarks caused by wear and tear will be there on any wicket in India, unless there is full grass cover. So, that much variance is expected. In terms of selections of shots, what you are seeing in him playing square of the wicket, I think the players like him or any players at this level, will obviously see the conditions, wicket, bounce, bowlers, and then probably they will target the areas. So, I think he did it brilliantly today, he elaborated. Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score The slow ball that he was bowling, it spun a lot. With Sai's dismissal, he could have negotiated on coming forward. But for that, not a single ball had turned so much before. So, he went back. But the wicket is good - we will try to play at least a couple of sessions and take it from there, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

Indian Navy warship deployed to South China Sea, Indo-Pacific makes port call in Malaysia
NEW DELHI: Carrying out its long range deployment, the Indian Navy's indigenous stealth frigate INS Sahyadri made a port call at Kemaman port in Malaysia as part of the Eastern Fleet Operational Deployment to the South China Sea and Indo-Pacific. The Navy on Sunday said, the port call was on 02 Oct 2025, The ship was accorded a warm welcome by the Royal Malaysian Navy, celebrating enduring cultural ties and shared maritime traditions between the two nations. This is the third visit by INS Sahyadri to Malaysia. The ship had earlier visited Port Klang on a goodwill mission in 2016, and later participated in Exercise Samudra Laksamana at Kota Kinabalu in 2019. These visits underscore the strong and evolving naval ties between the two countries. INS Sahyadri's ongoing operational deployment to the South China Sea and Indo-Pacific, underscores India's stature as a responsible maritime stakeholder and preferred security partner in the Indo-Pacific, said the Navy. The ship's port call at Kemaman is aimed at further strengthening India-Malaysia maritime military cooperation, interoperability between the two navies and exchanging best naval practices, the Navy added. The three-day visit included courtesy calls by the Ship's Commanding Officer on senior Royal Malaysian Navy officers, including a call on First Admiral Abd Halim bin Kamarudin, Deputy Commander Naval Region. The visit also featured professional exchanges, cross visits by Indian Navy and RMN officials, cross-training, sport fixtures between the two navies, as well as recreational visits to the city for INS Sahyadri's crew. The crew also conducted a yoga session and charity event, reflecting the Indian Navy's commitment to wellness, compassion, and strengthening India-Malaysia friendship. India and Malaysia share a rich and multi-dimensional relationship, shaped by deep-rooted cultural, social and economic ties, spanning millennia. With the ever increasing significance of the Indo-Pacific in the geopolitical seascape, both nations have increasingly recognised the importance of building regional partnerships, based on mutual interest. India's MAHASAGAR initiative and Malaysia's alignment with ASEAN's Outlook on Indo-Pacific (AOIP), offer prosperity for both nations through maritime synergy. The navy-to-navy interactions between India and Malaysia have grown steadily over the years through the biennial LIMA exhibition and MILAN exercises. The successful culmination of the third edition of Field Training Exercise (FTX) - ' Samudra Laksmana ' in 2024 between Indian Navy and RMN ships, underscores the commitment of both nations towards bolstering maritime security and cooperation in the region. This port call to Malaysia follows Indian Navy's milestone exercise in the area as it successfully achieved maiden mating with foreign submarines in South China Sea (SCS) during XPR-25 (Exercise Pacific Reach-2025) conducting a full spectrum of Intervention and Rescue Operations. Three successful mates including ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) operations over three days showcased our growing global rescue capabilities. It was a display of capability and teamwork with international maritime forces, the Indian Navy carried out its first mating exercise with foreign submarines away from Indian shores. As reported earlier by TNIE , the exercise took place in the South China Sea, an area marked by tensions over contested maritime boundaries, including islands and exclusive economic zones. Notably, China has been asserting its claims based on what it calls historical rights, and is currently in a standoff with US-backed Philippine naval vessels. Meanwhile, the Philippines is asserting its claim over the Second Thomas Shoal, which China strongly resists. China claims most of the South China Sea, while the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan hold counterclaims.

Assam CM to receive singer Zubeen Garg's body in Delhi, declares three-day State mourning
GUWAHATI: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday said he will receive singer Zubeen Garg's body in Delhi and accompany it to Guwahati. Sarma said the mortal remains of the singer will be brought to Guwahati on a special aircraft. It is likely to arrive in Assam on Sunday morning. The CM said he will go to Delhi later on Saturday to receive the body. I will be going to Delhi later today to receive our beloved Zubeen's mortal remains, which will arrive from Singapore. From there, we will immediately bring the body back to Guwahati, hopefully by 6 am on Sunday, the CM posted on X. Garg's body is scheduled to arrive in Delhi on Saturday night and will arrive in Guwahati on Sunday morning, an official said. Garg died in Singapore on Friday, while swimming in the sea without a life jacket. Sarma said that the body has been handed over to the Indian High Commission in Singapore and the singer's accompanying team members. Sarma reviewed arrangements at Guwahati's Sarusajai Sports Stadium, where his body will be kept for people to pay their last respects. After arrival in Guwahati, Garg's body will first be taken to his Kahilipara residence, where members of his family will spend some moments with the mortal remains, and no public will be allowed, the CM said. Strict security arrangements will be ensured near his residence. I request people to stay away when Zubeen's body is taken to his home so that his family members, particularly his 85-year-old ailing father, can spend some time before the body is taken to the stadium, he said. Sarma further said that several organisations from Jorhat have demanded that the singer's last rites be performed in the Upper Assam town and a memorial dedicated to him be established there. I spoke to the High Commissioner of Singapore, His Excellency Simon Wong, and requested a detailed enquiry into the circumstances leading to the untimely demise of our beloved Zubeen Garg. Excellency has assured me of complete cooperation in this regard. @SGinIndia Himanta Biswa Sarma (@himantabiswa) September 20, 2025 The government will not make any independent decision regarding the last rites of the singer.

Global Leadership Through Silent Impact by Uppalapadu Prathakota Shiva Prasad Reddy
Uppalapadu Prathakota Shiva Prasad Reddy, a global entrepreneur and philanthropist Crossing industries like beverages, construction, mining, agro-production, pharmaceuticals, and tourism, his entrepreneurial journey shows the strength of diversification and controlled growth. Anticipating change instead of responding to it, he has been able to establish enterprises that flourish across borders, leading to sustainable economic growth. Entrepreneurship for him is not merely a matter of growing businesses but building frameworks that create resilience, opportunity, and long-term value. But what differentiates him is his theory of quiet philanthropy. Instead of accolades, he invests his time and resources in human capital building and education reform. His strategy rests upon three strong pillars: access, in that the students from underprivileged communities are not excluded from possibilities; dignity, whereby assistance is enabling and not transactional; and continuity, so that the effect goes beyond a generation. By funding NGOs, grassroots organizations, and community leaders, he helps bolster the very pillars of social justice while keeping the spotlight on the people spearheading local transformations. This model is a reflection of his abiding conviction: that real leadership is not gauged in awards but by the lives changed. Uppalapadu Prathakota Shiva Prasad Reddy represents a new generation of international leadership, one where business acumen is combined with social consciousness, forging a soft but lasting record of advancement, dignity, and human potential.

NEW DELHI: The Indian Railways is considering measures to make the On-Board Housekeeping Staff (OBHS) more courteous and leave a positive impression on passengers during their journey. In the new initiative, currently being introduced, proves successful, OBHS personnel will begin introducing themselves to passengers at the start of the journey in an effort to build trust and establish a good rapport with the passengers. With this aim in mind, Indian Railways has instructed all its zones to conduct counselling sessions for OBHS staff. In an official communication issued by the Railway Board to all zones, the railway has proposed system improvements following a recent on-board inspection. These improvements include counselling for the housekeeping staff. All OBHS staff should be counselled to introduce themselves at the beginning of the journey and build trust of passengers, the Railway Board directive stated. The directive also emphasises that OBHS staff should be available to assist passengers throughout the journey. Stressing the importance of consistency, the Railway has further instructed that daily counselling sessions for OBHS staff must be carried out to ensure that these practices are adhered to regularly. Additionally, the chiefs of all zones have been directed to ensure strict compliance with these instructions. According to available information, the OBHS scheme was initially launched by the Railway Board in 2006 as a pilot project in six Mail and Express trains. Following its success, the service was subsequently extended to additional trains. As per official data, the scheme is now operational in over 1,200 pairs of key Mail and Express trains. Under this initiative, the cleanliness of coaches, toilets, and other on-board facilities is managed by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC). Despite these efforts, the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG), in its 2023 audit of OBHS conducted across 15 trains, identified several discrepancies. The report was tabled in both Houses of Parliament. Notably, the CAG stated that in 13 out of the 15 audited trains including the Bilaspur Rajdhani Express, PuneSecunderabad Shatabdi Express, KotaPatna Express, Darjeeling Mail, and Gorakhpur Weekly Express deficiencies such as choked and stinking lavatories and wash basins, soiled linen stored in doorway areas, and dirty vestibule areas were observed during the audit. The CAG also stated, The shortfall in inspections, coupled with a large number of instances of deficiencies against contractual provisions, was indicative of the need for strengthening control over the contractors. Side by side, the CAG has further suggested that the Railways must ensure full implementation of the Railway Boards directives, including surprise inspections by authorities on all operating Mail and Express trains. Meanwhile, a senior source in the Ministry of Railways told TNIE on Thursday that the Railway is taking the CAG's audit report seriously and has begun working in mission mode to implement both the CAGs recommendations and the Railways own guidelines for improving the functioning of OBHS.
