ISRO successfully conducts ground static test of PSLV's third stage at Sriharikota
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Thursday successfully conducted a ground static test of the third stage (PS3) of its Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) at the Static Test Facility of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The test follows a comprehensive review and strengthening of the stage's configuration after anomalies were observed during the PSLV-C61/EOS-09 and PSLV-C62/EOS-N1 missions. According to ISRO, the PS3 stage configuration was comprehensively revisited following the anomalies, with particular attention to design margins, raw material acceptance criteria, assembly procedures and quality checks. The configuration was strengthened, with essential improvements made to the nozzle design to enhance design margins. Updated procedures were also introduced for raw material acceptance, assembly and quality checks. ISRO further strengthened the mechanical interfaces and incorporated redundancy in the sealing systems. The adequacy of the design margins w...
IFL 2026/27: Unbeaten Shillong Lajong host Sreenidi Deccan in clash between last season's top sides
Digital Desk | Shillong, Nov 12 (IANS) Shillong Lajong FC will host Sreenidi Deccan FC in the Indian Football League (IFL) 202627 on Friday in a meeting of the sides that finished second and third last season, at the SSA Stadium in Shillong. Shillong Lajong have never finished higher in the competition than they did last season. With a squad made up entirely of Indian players, Head Coach Birendra Thapas side finished runners-up, a single point behind champions Diamond Harbour FC. The club moved quickly in the summer to keep that group together. Phrangki Buam, the leagues Most Valuable Player, signed a new three-year contract, as did Everbrightson Sana, captain Kenstar Kharshong, Tremiki Lamurong and Gladdy Nelcen Kharbuli, most of them graduates of the Lajong Academy. This season has started with a 1-0 win over Mohammedan SC at the Kalyani Stadium and a 1-1 draw with Chanmari FC at home. In Kalyani, Lajong had around two-thirds of the ball, took 32 shots and won 14 corners. The winner did not arrive until the 90th minute, when Nelson Rymbai finished Abelson Jachis cutback, but Lajong never stopped coming. Against Chanmari, they fell behind to a 24th-minute own goal and were level in the 78th, with Jachi scoring this time. Birendra Thapa came away from that draw wanting more, saying, In our last match we had 70 per cent possession and controlled the game, but football is not won on possession alonewe missed good chances and a single lapse at the back cost us all three points. Over the last few days, the boys have looked strong and positive in training. We have worked on improving our decision-making in the attacking third and cutting out defensive lapses, and we are ready to put in a strong performance tomorrow. Both Jachi and Rymbai started those matches on the bench. Every one of Lajongs four points has come from a goal involving a substitute, a measure of how deep Thapas squad runs and how readily he will change a game from the touchline. So far, the closing stages have belonged to Lajong. Dead balls are another source of goals. Kenstar had a header saved, and another came back off the woodwork in Kalyani. Joedson dos Santos has caused problems from corners, and Lajong win plenty of them. In open play, Jota, signed from Chanmari in the summer, is the player who knits midfield and attack together, while Damaitphang Lyngdoh sets the rhythm beside him. Sanas pace makes him the outlet on the break, and Buam does his best work arriving late in the penalty area. Jota and Joedson have also changed the make-up of an attack that was entirely Indian a year ago. Sana, whose speed was central to last seasons counter-attacking game, welcomes the new arrivals. While we played with an all-Indian attack last season that moved very quickly on the break, our foreign players this year bring great quality to the squad, he said. Playing at home in Shillong is always an honour and gives us a huge boost, and we want to give our fans plenty to cheer about. Sreenidi Deccan FC arrive for their third successive away match of the season. Head Coach Antonio Rueda, the Spaniard appointed in August after spells with Churchill Brothers and Gokulam Kerala, has taken four points from the first two: a 1-0 win over Rajasthan United FC in Jaipur on November 1, and a 1-1 draw with Real Kashmir FC in Srinagar a week later, when Sreenidi came from behind. Antonio Rueda is pleased with that return, stating, Our feeling is very good because we have four points from two very difficult away matches. We won in Rajasthan and could have won against Real Kashmir as well, where only a small mistake cost us all three points, so I am happy with the effort of the players. Captain David Castaeda, now in his sixth season with the club, remains the reference point. The Colombian drops deep to bring others into the game and still finds his way into the box, where he is especially good in the air. In Jaipur, his weighted pass sent Nishu Kumar through for the 66th-minute winner, and in Srinagar, he headed the equaliser seven minutes after half-time. Both goals came from the full-backs. Nishu ran beyond the defence to score in Jaipur. In Srinagar, Jagdeep Singh supplied the cross for Castaeda, with Adriano Castanheiras run from midfield opening the space. Thapa, who spent three years at Sreenidi, knows exactly what that attack can do. I have watched their first two matches, and they are a very balanced side after signing several players with ISL and I-League experience, he said. With forwards like David Castaeda, if you give them time and space inside the box, they will punish you. We have to be aggressive in our defending, keep them away from our penalty area, and play the game in their half to give ourselves the best chance of winning. Much of Fridays contest may come down to who has the ball. Lajong had 70 per cent of it against Chanmari, and Rueda, whose teams are built to keep possession, wants his side to have more of it in Shillong. Against our first two opponents, it was difficult to dominate the ball, and tomorrow could be a similar situation, so we want to spend more time on the ball and use our possession better, he said. If we can improve our control in possession, we will create more opportunities to win the game. Ruedas summer recruitment has given Sreenidi a sturdy spine. Pritam Kotal and Togolese centre-back Hadi Idrissou, who is also a presence at attacking set pieces, have settled quickly together, and Pronay Halder sits in front of them. Between them, they have conceded once in 180 minutes. Goalkeeper Kamaljit Singh has played his part too: ten minutes from time in Srinagar, he palmed away a Thabiso Nelson Brown header to protect the point. Kamaljit knows the value of what Sreenidi are collecting on the road. It is going to be a tough battle after another long journey, both mentally and physically, but we have not come this far for nothing, he said. Everyone in the dressing room is positive and working together as a family. We know how crucial away points are if you want to win a championship, and we are ready to give everything we have to get a positive result from this match. The balance for Rueda lies in how far he lets his full-backs go. When they push on, there is grass behind them, and Sana and Buam are quick to find it. The Spaniard is well aware of the threat. Shillong Lajong are a strong team and a genuine contender for a top-three finish this season, he said. They play a modern, high-tempo style similar to ours, with quality players who are constantly moving and looking to attack quickly in transition, which is difficult to defend against. We have full respect for them, and we are prepared to execute our game plan to get the win. The sides drew both of their meetings last season, each at the Deccan Arena in Hyderabad. The first, on April 1, ended goalless, with Kamaljit named Man of the Match. In the second, on May 10, Castaedas acrobatic ninth-minute finish was cancelled out by Buams penalty just before the hour, leaving both clubs on 22 points with two matches to play. Sreenidis most recent visit to Shillong, in February 2025, ended in a 4-0 win for Lajong. Rueda knows what Shillong has asked of his club in the past. This is another long trip and a tough ground where we have historically found it difficult to win, but we understand our responsibility to the clubs project and have trained well to play for the victory, he said. Level on points last May, they arrive in Shillong level once more, both unbeaten and on four points from their two matches in the current campaign. With so little between two well-organised defences, the first goal could carry real weight on Friday.

Oil below $92 amid hopes of peace talks
Oil prices edged lower by more than $1 on Thursday as investors increasingly hopes for peace talks to resolve the Middle East conflict as well as the much-longer lasting Russia-Ukraine war.Brent crude futures fell more than $1 to trade below $92 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures also lost over $1 to trade below $86 per barrel on Thursday morning. This comes after Brent crude rose over 1% on Wednesday after hitting two-month lows in the previous day.Russian and Ukrainian negotiators have agreed to a major prisoner exchange during their peace talks held over two days in Abu Dhabi, although US mediators said differences remained on other major issues, including territory. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country hoped to achieve concrete results on resolving the war this year.Also read | India's battered rupee finds an unlikely rescue party in cheaper oil and Wall Street's AI routBack in the Middle East, Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei said the government will not allow even a single particle of enriched nuclear material to leave Iran and there will be consequences if the US launches new strikes. The US meanwhile has said that nuclear issues must be part of any initial negotiations with Iran aimed at ending the eight-month-old war, while US officials downplayed the need for further military strikes.Meanwhile, OPEC+ crude oil production jumped in October, driven by a sharp increase in output from Saudi Arabia despite continued disruption to shipments through the Hormuz Strait.

Srinagar, Nov 11:Air Quality Index (AQI) readings compiled by Airleaf have turned into an India-Pakistan race. Cities in India and Pakistan overwhelmingly fill the list of the worlds most polluted urban centres as per the rankings released on 10 November 2026. This is perhaps the starkest picture of a regional air quality crisis faced by the subcontinent. The entire top 50 polluted cities are either in India or Pakistan. Qadirpur Ran in Pakistan recorded the highest reading at an extreme AQI of 1065, followed closely by Multan at 983. Gwalior, India ranked third with 816. The top 10 was dominated by a mix of Pakistani cities - Dera Ghazi Khan had an AQI of 716. RenalaKhurd had 700 and Okara 700. Indian cities had Kota with 698, Jodhpur 694, Unnao 693 and Kanpur 693. Down the list, the pattern continues - Pakistani cities such as Kasur, Charsadda, Arifwala, Pattoki, Phool Nagar and Bahawalpur are in the upper ranks. Indian cities including Hapur, Meerut, Soyibug, Lucknow, Palwal, Bhopal, Ambala, New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Varanasi, Ludhiana and Ghaziabad also register dangerously high levels. Even cities lower in the top 50 recorded AQI values well into the very unhealthy and hazardous categories. On the US EPA scale used in the rankings, an AQI between 201 and 300 is classified as very unhealthy. Anything above 300 is considered hazardous. Many Indian and Pakistani cities have readings above 500, and in several cases above 700 or even 1000, show severe pollution that poses serious health risks to the entire population. Prolonged exposure to polluted air is known to aggravate respiratory and cardiovascular conditions and reduce lung function. Post-monsoon and in early winter months, meteorological conditions often trap pollutants close to the ground.

Science Fair in Tikota on Saturday
Three-time Grammy Award winner and Padma Shri recipient Ricky Kej will receive the Srajan The Spark Lifetime Achievement Award in Udaipur on November 15, 2026. The honour comes from Srajan The Spark - a movement of music lovers dedicated to preserving Indias musical heritage. Headquartered in Udaipur, with 16 chapters in India and abroad, the movement was founded and is helmed by Prasanna K. Khamesra, a retired IPS officer. Kej will mark the occasion with The Earth Symphony, a free concert for environmental awareness that is expected to draw close to 10,000 people. It will be his first-ever public concert in Udaipur, and a homecoming for a musician whose father hails from Rajasthan. The evening will include songs on Rajasthan and his versions of folk songs from across India. With this award, Kej steps into a roll of honour that reads like a history of Indian music itself. Past recipients of Srajans Lifetime Achievement honour include Padmavibhushan Dr L Subramaniam, Padmabhushan Vishwamohan Bhatt, A Sivamani, Pt. Ronu Majumdar, Usha Mangeshkar, Anup Jalota, Roop Kumar Rathod, Sudesh Bhosle, the duo Anand-Milind, Anandji of Kalyan ji-Anandji, lyricist Yogesh, Sameer Anjan, poet and actor Shailesh Lodha among many others. It's absolutely amazing to be in that company, shared Kej. I am thrilled as this is an award from India, my country. And not only that, its an award in particular from Rajasthan, where my father hails from. Ricky Kej has brought great recognition to India and Rajasthan, not only through his music but through his extraordinary work for environmental conservation across the globe, said Khamesra. Srajan originated in Udaipur, and Ricky also has his roots in our state. We are immensely proud to honour him. Interestingly, Srajan was born in 2013 in Udaipur over a cup of tea, when Khamesra, a music lover since childhood, and some of his friends set out to bring Indias fading music, poetry and shayari back to the people. Khamesra has always believed that his professional responsibilities and personal passion could coexist, and through his years in the police, neither ever stood in the way of the other. What makes it rare is that it is entirely self-funded. Close to 1,500 industrialists and dignitaries who are proud members of Srajan the Spark contribute from their own pockets, purely for the love of Indian music. From Udaipur, it has grown to Jaipur, Jodhpur, Ahmedabad, Delhi NCR, Kota, Hyderabad, Asansol, Chennai, Canada and London, etc. The stage it has built is a treasure. Artists such as Anup Jalota, Pankaj Udhas, Suresh Wadekar, Usha Uthup, Nitin Mukesh and many others have performed at Srajan, as have poets such as Rahat Indori, Wasim Barelvi and Nida Fazli, etc. It also seeks out unsung artists and gives young talent a stage alongside the masters. The movement is now working towards establishing Srajan Music Schools across India, along with a Music Museum and Academy in Udaipur, where work is already underway. Kej shares that same commitment to Indias musical roots. No matter how hard I try to make a completely western piece of music, there will always be a soul of India within that music, said Kej. And, that soul is exactly what brings him and Srajan together. Kej has made it his mission over the next five to six years to document as many of Indias tribal songs and musicians as he can, building a permanent archive of musical forms passed down orally for thousands of years and now vanishing. Those songs, he said, carry indigenous knowledge about coexisting with nature and our place as human beings in the world. Art is all about breaking the rules, but you have to know the rules first in order to break them, he said. That's why its very important that these traditional forms of music are preserved. All other contemporary forms come from them. And in this regard, Srajan the Spark is doing fantastic work in keeping Indias classical and folk traditions alive. Ricky Kej will receive Hindustan Zinc-Srajan The Spark Lifetime Achievement Award on November 15 at DPS School, Udaipur, to be presented by Srajan - The Spark & Bijay Kumar Surana Foundation in collaboration with Hindustan Zinc Limited.
Hidden pain! Why did investors lose money in 750 smallcaps when Nifty rallied 2500 points?
The Nifty has staged a strong recovery over the past month, surging nearly 13% as foreign investors returned to Dalal Street and heavyweight stocks bounced back from their recent lows. Yet, the rally has brought little relief to hundreds of smallcap investors, with more than 750 stocks delivering negative returns during the same period.An analysis of stock market data compiled by ACE Equity shows that 769 stocks declined between October 8 and November 8, even as the benchmark Nifty recovered sharply. The Nifty climbed 2,812 points, or 12.65%, during this period.The contrasting performance highlights the narrow nature of the market recovery, with foreign institutional investors (FIIs) largely favouring established large-cap companies, while smaller stocks continue to struggle. The weakness has been particularly painful for retail investors, many of whom have substantial exposure to midcap and smallcap companies following their strong performance in previous years.Hundreds of stocks remain under pressureSeveral well-known companies feature among the stocks that have declined despite the Nifty's recovery. According to ACE Equity data, eMudhra fell 33.73% between October 8 and November 8, while Wardwizard Innovations & Mobility declined 32.53%.Genesys International lost 31.58%, Morepen Laboratories dropped 30.93%, and KRN Heat Exchanger & Refrigeration fell 30.90%. Sterlite Technologies declined 30.22%, while MTAR Technologies slipped 26.79%. Electronics Mart India lost 24.39%, Kirloskar Oil Engines fell 24.54%, and RR Kabel declined 21.44%.Other notable laggards included Netweb Technologies, down 16.91%, HFCL, down 15.88%, and Praj Industries, which lost 12.29%.Also Read: FIIs are back with a bang but why are stocks from only 2 sectors their favourites? The losses show that the market recovery has left behind a substantial number of companies across technology, pharmaceuticals, engineering, manufacturing and other sectors.For investors holding these stocks, the sharp improvement in benchmark indices has done little to offset the damage suffered during the broader market correction.Why is Nifty rising while smallcaps struggle?Apurva Sheth, Head of Market Perspectives and Research at SAMCO Securities, believes the divergence comes down to buying being concentrated in a handful of heavyweight stocks.A lot of investors are scratching their heads thinking why their portfolio isn't moving up with Nifty. The simple answer is you don't own what is moving up, Sheth said.According to his analysis, the Nifty Top 10 Equal Weight Index gained 10.64% over the preceding month, while the Nifty Midcap 150 and Nifty Smallcap 250 indices each declined 2.74%. The Nifty Microcap 250 fell 5.32%.The first major reason behind the divergence is valuation. Several largecap stocks had suffered heavy losses during the market correction that began in January 2026, bringing their valuations to more attractive levels.This encouraged investors to return to established companies as crude oil prices eased and concerns about the global economic outlook moderated.Smaller companies, meanwhile, entered the correction with relatively elevated valuations following their earlier rallies. Investors have remained selective amid concerns about earnings visibility and the sustainability of growth.Foreign money is chasing large companiesThe second major factor is the return of foreign institutional investors. After months of sustained selling, overseas investors have begun deploying substantial capital into Indian equities, helping lift banking, technology, telecommunications and other heavyweight stocks.Foreign investors have bought more than $4.1 billion worth of Indian equities so far in November, according to Reuters, marking the strongest monthly inflow since September 2024. However, foreign institutions generally prefer large, liquid companies where they can deploy substantial amounts without significantly affecting share prices.This has benefited stocks such as ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Infosys, Bharti Airtel and Reliance Industries. According to Sheth, ICICI Bank and Infosys each gained 16% over his one-month review period, while Bharti Airtel advanced 14.61%. Kotak Mahindra Bank rose 10.08%, HDFC Bank gained 10%, and Reliance Industries climbed 8.44%.The ten heavyweight stocks in his analysis delivered an average return of 10.19%, highlighting how concentrated the rebound has been.For smaller companies, the absence of similar institutional buying has limited the recovery despite improving sentiment across the broader market.Can the broader market catch up?The broader market has also faced pressure from stretched valuations, uneven earnings performance and reduced risk appetite following months of geopolitical uncertainty and high crude oil prices.Although the September-quarter earnings season has shown signs of improvement, investors are increasingly distinguishing between companies delivering sustainable profit growth and those whose earlier valuations were driven by aggressive expectations.The next test for Dalal Street will be whether sustained foreign inflows and stronger corporate earnings encourage buying beyond the largest companies.Disclosure: This article was written by Podishetti Akash, who is not a SEBI-registered Research Analyst or an Investment Adviser.

U.S. Senate Republicans vote to keep John Thune as leader after steep midterm election losses
South Dakota Sen. John Thune has spent much of the last two years navigating President Trump, who has often been at odds with the Senate
House Republicans choose Ohio's Jim Jordan as their next party leader
By David Morgan WASHINGTON, Nov 10 (Reuters) - House Republicans chose Jim Jordan on Tuesday to lead them in opposition to a Democratic-controlled Congress, according to a person familiar with the matter, putting a combative Donald Trump ally at the forefront of the partys fight to defend the US presidents agenda during his final two years in office. A secret ballot held behind closed doors elevated the Ohio Republican and House Judiciary Committee chairman to the minority leadership post a week after Democrats swept to victory in last Tuesday's midterm elections, winning sizable majorities in both the House and Senate. House Speaker Mike Johnson opted not to stand for the leadership position. Across the Capitol, Senate Republicans met behind closed doors to decide whether to push forward with internal elections that were expected to retain US Senator John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, as the party leaderor opt for a delay that could allow a challenger to emerge. The House and Senate leadership elections will help determine what role Republicans intend to play as the minority party in Congress during the final two years of Trump's presidency. Democrats will need Republican support to move major initiatives in the 100-member Senate, where the filibuster rule requires 60 votes for most legislation. Their majorities in both chambers also fall well short of the two-thirds votes needed to override presidential vetoes. After the midterm elections, Thune vowed that Republicans would work with Trump to block Democrat extremism and work against any attempt by Democrats to unwind Republican achievements including border security and judicial appointments. Jordan, 62, was first elected in 2006 to represent a deeply conservative rural district in northern Ohio and was a founder of the House Freedom Caucus, a group that former Republican Speaker John Boehner labeled legislative terrorists. Before entering politics, Jordan honed his pugilistic style during a career as a high school and university champion wrestler, and later as a wrestling coach at Ohio State University. That past threatened his political career in 2018 when former students accused him of turning a blind eye to rampant sexual abuse of college wrestlers by the wrestling team's doctor, when Jordan was an assistant coach. Jordan denied all allegations, and a university investigation found no hard evidence that he knew of the abuse. But former wrestlers said the doctor's abuse was well-known and the report itself found that students had complained about the doctor's voyeurism in front of coaching staff. Jordan has often referred to his wrestling background in terms of his reputation as a fighter in Congress. He is known for his aggressive style of questioning in committee hearings. I look at it like a wrestling match, Jordan told the New York Times in an April 2023 interview, explaining how he prepares for hearings. I'm going to try to get as ready as I can. You can't just wing it.

Nabi, Gurnoor, Arshdeep to stay back: Kotak
Hamilton, Nov 9:The white-ball pace trio of Auqib Nabi, Gurnoor Brar, and Arshdeep Singh will stay back to help the Indian Test squad prepare for the crucial World Test Championship series against New Zealand starting on November 19, assistant coach Sitanshu Kotak said on Monday. The three are currently a part of the squad that is engaged in a five-ODI series against the Black Caps. The third game of the assignment will be held here on Tuesday. I think three bowlers are going to stay back anyway. Gurnoor, maybe Nabi, and I think Arsh is also staying back, Kotak said in a pre-match press conference on Monday. The former Saurashtra batter also said that the Test specialists will start their preparations from November 11 with skipper Shubman Gill, senior opener KL Rahul, left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, and pacer Anshul Kamboj leaving for Wellington after the third ODI game here on Tuesday. All in all, I think the preparation has been very good. On top of that, the Test players will go for a camp from the 11th, where we will get five or six sessions. Fingers crossed, we should be ready for the Test series as well. The coaching team will also split with head coach Gautam Gambhir staying back for the fourth and fifth ODIs scheduled on November 13 and 15 at Mount Maunganui in Tauranga. As far as I understand, Gautam will obviously have to be here because of the upcoming World Cup. So, he will stay here. Probably, Sairaj (Bahutule) will also stay here, Kotak said. Morne (Morkel) and some other members of the staff will go to Wellington. These are the current plans, but as I said, the final decision is up to Gautam. So, things can change. We will just try to ensure that the players get the required workload, fitness and practice. They should get enough preparation, depending on the conditions available to us, he added.

No one will make Test adjustments during a white-ball (series), but at the same time, the way the wickets were in both ODIs, there was swing, and after five-six overs, when the swing stopped, there was seam movement too, and you could say a little bit of awkward bounce too, Kotak said ahead of the third ODI. In hindsight, its a good thing, because we might get the same things in the Test matches, only the ball will be red. You will still have a one-day intent and mindset in one-day (matches), but the wickets here, with thicker grass, 12-14mm grass, the conditions - you get an idea even in the one-dayers. You may not get wickets that are as green as you get in Test matches (in New Zealand), but its quite good conditions to play in, and its challenging to have 140-type matches. Its not like they are 300-type matches. Its a good thing, I think. Kotak also pointed to Indias parallel preparations in the longer format as an important factor. The three four-day matches involving India A have provided competitive exposure to several players in the Test setup, while those transitioning from the ODI squad are scheduled to attend a camp at Mount Maunganui from November 11. Plus the three India A matches also, our red-ball players are playing (in them), so that is also a big advantage for batters and at the same time for bowlers also. They would also know where to bowl, what lengths, what help you are getting with what kind of releases. So I think, all in all, the preparation has been very good, and on top of that, the Test players (who will be released from the ODI squad) are going for a camp on the 11th (in Mount Maunganui), so we will get five-six sessions there too. So fingers crossed, we should be ready for the Test series as well. Beyond the red-ball preparations, the batting coach also addressed the challenge of helping Indias younger batters balance their natural attacking instincts with the demands of difficult match situations. Indias lower-order collapse in the second ODI, particularly with rain threatening to interrupt proceedings, offered an example of the decisions emerging players must learn to navigate. Kotak specifically discussed Namans approach, emphasising that the coaching staff did not want to undermine the aggressive style that had earned him an opportunity in the national side. Instead, the focus was on developing his ability to assess match situations without losing his natural game. In the last game, after we lost five wickets, we got an idea that there could be rain, and Naman was batting, Kotak said. The tricky thing is, these people play such good aggressive cricket, and we keep speaking about positive intent. If someone says Naman shouldnt have played that shot even I may not have wanted him to play that shot, for example - but the thin line is, at the same time, the cricket Naman plays, his style, and the ability that he has, thats why he's here. If he starts playing defensively, youll say there are lots of players like that in India. The challenge is, without touching their way of playing, without building pressure on them, how can they control their mind, what shot can I play at this time, and what should I not - that is the challenge. In these conditions, when rain is around, when wickets are like this, its a great learning for us (coaches) and also for players. The batting coach acknowledged that adapting to such circumstances would take experience, particularly for players who are still establishing themselves at the international level. He also stressed that the ability to recognise when a team needs stability rather than quick runs is an important aspect of developing their game. Because when the team needs you to stay there for two-three overs, where runs actually dont matter, (you might need to temper your approach), but eventually I also sometimes feel they have only played a few matches, and they will learn. They are very fortunate to play in these conditions. Same with Anshul - he could easily have played (out) six balls, and KL (Rahul) was playing with him, so they didnt have that much (need to play big shots). So without changing their way of playing, how can they modify their batting where they adapt to the conditions and situation and what the teams requirement is, and just try and do their best - thats all they can do. For me it is great, because they will definitely learn, because they are discussing (these things). Because when the team needs you to stay there for two-three overs, where runs actually dont matter, (you might need to temper your approach), but eventually I also sometimes feel they have only played a few matches, and they will learn. They are very fortunate to play in these conditions. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

IFL 2026/27: Sreenidi Deccan hold Real Kashmir to 1-1 draw in Srinagar
Digital Desk | Srinagar, Nov 7 (IANS) David Castaeda Muoz scored in the 52nd minute as Sreenidi Deccan FC came back from a goal down and held Real Kashmir FC to a 1-1 draw in an entertaining encounter in the Indian Football League (IFL) 202627 at the TRC Stadium in Srinagar on Saturday. Lesotho forward Thabiso Nelson Brown, who was named the Man of the Match for his goal, put the Snow Leopards ahead in the 19th minute with their first strike of the season, before Colombian striker David Castaeda Muoz restored parity for the Deccan Warriors in the 52nd minute as both sides settled for a point apiece. With this result, Sreenidi Deccan moved into third position on the table, while Real Kashmir opened their account with one point to move into eighth position above Samaleswari SC. Turning out in their traditional yellow shirts in front of their home supporters, Real Kashmir began the match on a fluid note, stringing together attacks in the opening quarter through midfielders Ningthoukhongjam Rohen Singh, Lalawmpuia Sailo (Omoma), and Mohit Mittal alongside Under-22 forward Khullakpam Zahir Khan. The Snow Leopards earned a dangerous free-kick in the 10th minute right on the edge of the six-yard box, though the Sreenidi backline of Pritam Kotal, Gurmukh Singh, Nishu Kumar, and Jagdeep Singh managed to survive the scare in a major let-off for the visitors. Minutes later, Sreenidi Deccan threatened at the other end on the counter-attack. Skipper David Castaeda broke behind the Real Kashmir defence, marshalled by Cameroonian defender Alain Eyenga and Shanid Valan, to find himself in a one-on-one situation inside the box, only for Real Kashmir goalkeeper Susnata Malik to produce a brilliant save from point-blank range. Real Kashmirs early pressure finally told in the 19th minute following a spectacular delivery from Omoma. Trinidad and Tobago striker and captain Marcus Leric Jr Joseph rose to meet the cross with a firm header that was saved by Sreenidi goalkeeper Kamaljit Singh, but the rebound fell kindly in front of Thabiso Nelson Brown, who produced a clinical finish to open the Snow Leopards' scoring account for the season. The hosts continued to enjoy the lion's share of possession and dominated the midfield exchanges as the contest moved into the second quarter. Sreenidi Deccan, anchored by Pronay Halder, were largely restricted to counter-attacks as they searched desperately for a way to shift the momentum. Although the visitors managed to string some passes together past the half-hour mark, they were unable to find their groove against a disciplined Real Kashmir side that dictated terms right up to the half-time whistle. The second half began on a lively note as the southern outfit slowly settled into their rhythm, and an immediate response following a tactical adjustment saw Sreenidi Deccan draw level in the 52nd minute through a well-worked team goal. Portuguese playmaker Adriano Duarte Castanheira sparked the move with a top-notch run before linking up with defender Jagdeep Singh, who whipped in a superb cross for David Castaeda to power a header past a helpless Susnata Malik. Following the equaliser, the pace of the game reduced noticeably through the middle of the second period as both sides opted for a cautious approach to conserve energy for the closing exchanges. Real Kashmir found their rhythm once again entering the final quarter, stringing together a series of passes to put the visitors on the back foot. The Snow Leopards came agonisingly close to regaining the lead in the 80th minute from a corner kick, when Brown connected with an attempt towards goal, only for Kamaljit Singh to produce the save of the match by palming the ball away to keep the scores level. Real Kashmir shifted into another gear during the five minutes of stoppage time added at the end of regulation play. Brown carved out another late opportunity for the hosts but could not convert, while both goalkeepers launched long balls forward in a dramatic finish. Despite the Snow Leopards' late onslaught, the Deccan Warriors held firm at the back to ensure both teams shared the spoils with a point each.
Gujarat: RPF apprehends man planning theft at Ahmedabad station
Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Nov 7 (IANS) Railway Protection Force (RPF) apprehended a 45-year-old man at Ahmedabad railway station on Saturday after he allegedly admitted to visiting the station with the intention of stealing from passengers amid the Diwali rush. The man, identified as Parshottam, a resident of the Kotarpur area in Ahmedabad, was spotted moving suspiciously on platforms 4 and 5 during surveillance by the RPF's Crime Prevention and Detection Squad (CPDS). According to the RPF, the incident took place on November 7 when a CPDS team was deployed at the station for crime prevention and crowd management duties. The team comprised Assistant Sub-Inspector Raman Kumar, Head Constable Dheeraj Kumar and Constables Sunil Kumar and Mukesh Kumar. During discreet surveillance, the personnel noticed Parshottam moving around suspiciously and apprehended him for questioning. During interrogation, he allegedly admitted that he had come to the station intending to commit theft, taking advantage of the rush of passengers during the Diwali festival. He was caught before he could allegedly carry out any theft, the RPF said. He was also found not to be carrying any valid travel authority. The CPDS team subsequently handed him over to the Government Railway Police (GRP), Ahmedabad, for further legal action. The RPF has stepped up vigilance at railway premises to prevent theft and other offences and ensure passenger safety during the festive rush.

Jagan Reddy accuses TDP-led coalition of subverting democratic process
Digital Desk | Tadepalli, Nov 5 (IANS) Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and YSRCP President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has slammed the coalition government for its 'manipulative' election process and for 'subverting' the democratic process like never before. The Opposition, however, has fought back and exposed the follies of the ruling coalition, he said. Speaking to the media here on Thursday, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said the entire electoral process had been hijacked by the Chandrababu Naidu government, from nominations to counting. He said the governments victory in urban local body polls was a moral defeat, while the Opposition had won the hearts of the people, even though the mandate had been subverted. The entire election process was hijacked by Chandrababu and his people, mocking democracy at every stagefrom nominations to scrutiny, withdrawals, polling and even counting. Such an exercise does not merit being called an election, as it was neither free nor fair, he said. He alleged that in the ZPTC and MPTC polls, the script was the same as in the municipal polls, with the police and ruling party goons preventing Opposition candidates from filing nominations. This was followed by rejection of nominations during scrutiny, attacks on our polling agents, rigging and cycling of votes, he said. Such an election is a scar on the face of democracy. The ruling party resorted to all manner of malafide practices in local body elections across the State, from Tekkali and Kotabommali to Darsi, Kanigiri, Palamaner, and the Vemula and Lingala mandals of the Pulivendula constituency. Voters were prevented from exercising their franchise, rigging continued unabated, and the police acted as TDP agents, using force against voters, he said. The former Chief Minister alleged that despite the Supreme Courts directives, there has been no change in the functioning of the coalition government. YSRCP cadre and booth agents were attacked with petrol bombs, he said. Showing clips of violence during the local body and municipal elections, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy asked why anyone would vote for Chandrababu, who had failed all sections of societyfrom women and farmers to youthby not honouring his promises. In the municipal polls, the polling percentage and figures were fudged: the numbers were inflated at the counting tables, far exceeding the figures officially announced after polling. He has put Andhra Pradesh up for sale by handing over medical colleges and ports to private parties, while disregarding the common man despite the twin cyclones that wreaked havoc in the State, YS Jagan said. The manner in which the elections were held could serve as a case study in electoral reforms, as there is enough material, he said. The YSRCP chief stated that while it was Safe Andhra during their term, people are now calling for Save Andhra because they are vexed with the ruling coalition. Like Shakunis magic dice in the Mahabharata, Chandrababu has rolled the official machinery in favour of the coalition. But we fought bravely and exposed the misdeeds at the national level, he added

Gill, Kohli and Rohit receive special All Blacks jerseys from rugby legend Keven Mealamu
Digital Desk | Auckland, Nov 4 (IANS) A meeting between cricket and rugby royalty took place ahead of Indias opening ODI against New Zealand, with captain Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma receiving personalised All Blacks jerseys from former New Zealand rugby great Keven Mealamu. The trio were welcomed into the All Blacks family during a special interaction at Eden Park in Auckland, where Mealamu presented the cricketers with a black jersey featuring their respective cricket numbers. Gill received the number 77, Kohli was handed 18, while Rohit was presented with 45, their respective jersey numbers. Mealamu, one of New Zealand rugbys most celebrated figures, represented the All Blacks in 132 Tests and was part of the teams that lifted the Rugby World Cup in 2011 and 2015. His meeting with the Indian stars offered a sporting crossover ahead of the five-match ODI series, which began at the iconic Auckland venue on November 4. Eden Park holds a special place in New Zealands sporting history, serving as one of the countrys most renowned rugby venues. The stadium is also associated with the All Blacks remarkable 54-match unbeaten home run, which began in 1994. The Indian cricket team shared photographs of the interaction on social media, with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) describing it as a special moment involving the three Indian stars and a legendary figure in New Zealand rugby. The meeting also carried significance beyond the two sporting disciplines, coming during the centenary celebrations of sporting ties between India and New Zealand. The relationship dates back to 1926, when an Indian Army hockey team, featuring legendary player Dhyan Chand, undertook a historic tour of New Zealand. The ongoing all-format cricket tour is part of the celebrations marking 100 years of sporting exchanges between the two nations. India have already completed the five-match T20I series, winning 3-2, while the ODI leg features five matches across New Zealand. The hosts are also wearing a special limited-edition Kotahitanga ODI jersey to commemorate the shared sporting and cultural heritage. Two Test matches in Wellington and Christchurch are scheduled to follow the white-ball fixtures.

The accused were apprehended by the Local Crime Branch (LCB) of Zone-7 during patrolling in the Satellite area. According to the police, they were carrying the stolen phones and travelling to Modasa to sell them when the team intercepted them following a tip-off.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 2 (IANS) Actor Tiger Shroff's spokesperson has dismissed reports suggesting that the actor would make his first public appearance since the attack at a book launch event in Mumbai on November 3. According to reports, the Baaghi actor was reportedly expected to step out for his first public appearance since the attack at the launch of actor and wellness author Claudia Ciesla's book, Beyond Weight Loss: Eating, Healing & Ageing with Claudia's Concept. The event is scheduled to take place at a Mumbai hotel on November 3. However, when contacted, Tiger's spokesperson refuted the claims and called the reports baseless. The news circulating regarding Tiger Shroff making a public appearance for a book launch happening on November 3, is completely baseless. Not true at all, the spokesperson clarified. The clarification comes amid speculation about the actor's return to public appearances following the attack. The reported appearance was expected to mark a return to public engagements after a break in his professional commitments following the firing incident. Ever since the firing incident, Tiger has maintained a low profile and has not been spotted attending any public events or making media appearances. The actor has also kept away from public engagements following the incident. Last month, a firing incident was reported outside a football club near Pushpa Narsee Park in Mumbai's Juhu area on October 18. Tiger escaped unhurt, while his driver and an autorickshaw driver sustained injuries. According to reports, the three suspects allegedly involved in the shooting were arrested in Kota, Rajasthan. They were reportedly apprehended by a joint team of the Rajasthan Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) and Kota City Police, acting on information provided by Mumbai Police. Two of the arrested men are from Haryana, while the third hails from Bihar. All three are suspected to have links with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Reports suggested that two of the accused were allegedly hired to carry out the firing, while the third was suspected of helping them escape after the incident. Several members of the film fraternity had condemned the firing incident and expressed concern over the safety of the actor and his family.

Highlighting their achievements in agriculture, technology, education, art, culture and spiritual traditions, the Governor said the exchange of best practices, mutual cooperation and healthy competition among states would further strengthen cooperative federalism. Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of 'Viksit Bharat by 2047', Governor Acharya said that achieving the national goal would require collective commitment and coordinated efforts from every state and citizen. He stressed that development must be inclusive, ensuring that its benefits reach the last person in society. He also underlined the importance of sustained investments and efforts in education, healthcare, agriculture, innovation, skill development and women's empowerment. The Governor also said that nation-building was a shared responsibility and called upon citizens to actively contribute to development initiatives while taking pride in their respective cultural identities. Respecting the traditions and achievements of other communities, he said, would strengthen cultural understanding and reinforce the spirit of 'Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat'. The celebrations featured colourful cultural performances representing the participating states and Union Territories, showcasing their folk traditions, art forms and distinctive cultural expressions. Minister for Sports and Youth Welfare Biswajit Daimary, Minister for Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Nilima Devi, Chief Secretary Ravi Kota, ADGP Surendra Kumar, Commissioner and Secretary to the Governor S.S. Meenakshi Sundaram and Joint Commissioner of Police Ankur Jain, among other dignitaries, attended the programme.
IFL 2026/27: Sreenidi Deccan edge past Rajasthan United to start season with win
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 1 (IANS) Nishu Kumar scored the decisive goal as Sreenidi Deccan FC made a winning start to the season, edging past Rajasthan United 1-0 in the Indian Football League (IFL) 2026/27 season clash at the Vidhyadhar Nagar Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday. Nishu Kumar struck in the 66th minute for the Deccan Warriors as they started the season with three points. Rajasthan United started the game with greater energy, using the pace of wingers Thomyo Shimray and Brijesh Giri to test the Sreenidi Deccan defence. However, the backline, marshalled by the experienced Pritam Kotal and Hadi Idrissou, kept former ISL Golden Boot winner Diego Maurcio quiet, denying him clear opportunities on goal. The first clear-cut chance fell to the visitors when Adriano Castanheira found Jerry Mawihmingthanga in space inside the penalty area. However, Jerry failed to hit the target, sending his effort well over the crossbar. Rajasthan continued to use the wings to good effect and were racking up the corner kicks, but Karanjit Singh in goal was not troubled. David Castaeda, in his sixth season with Sreenidi Deccan, came close to breaking the deadlock just before the drinks break, striking the crossbar. The Colombian continued his run into the box after releasing Jerry Mawihmingthanga down the right wing, and the winger returned the favour with a perfectly weighted low cross, but the striker could only direct his effort against the crossbar. Sreenidi Deccan enjoyed the majority of possession during the remainder of the first half, but both sides remained cautious in their approach going forward. The slow tempo allowed the opposition defences to maintain their shape, and neither team could find a breakthrough as the sides went into half-time with the score still goalless. Rajasthan United made a bright start to the second half, with P. Christopher Kamei rattling the crossbar with a ferocious left-footed strike from outside the box. Moments later, Foday Trawally also came close to scoring, but his right-footed effort from the edge of the area narrowly missed the target, and in the next move the Gambian midfielder combined well with Maurcio and Ricky Vanlalhriatsanga with some fine one-touch football. Ricky then dribbled past two defenders and took a left-footed shot that sailed over the crossbar. Sreenidi Deccan weathered the pressure and regained control of the game before taking the lead shortly after the hour mark with a well-worked move. Lalromawia found space on the right wing and played the ball to Adriano Castanheira at the edge of the box. The Portuguese midfielder then laid it off to David Castaeda, who threaded a perfectly weighted pass into the path of the overlapping Nishu Kumar. The experienced full-back kept his composure and curled a fine finish into the far corner to put the Deccan Warriors ahead. Sreenidi Head Coach Antonio Rueda brought in the changes to bring in fresh legs and preserve the one-goal advantage, while Giuseppe Cristaldi, in search of an equaliser, also tinkered with the lineup. The Desert Warriors pushed hard to find the equaliser, but the experienced defence of the Deccan Warriors, along with Pronay Halder in defensive midfield, were able to withstand the pressure. Diego Maurcio came closest to scoring for Rajasthan United when the Brazilian held off his marker and unleashed a powerful right-footed effort from inside the box, only to see his shot narrowly miss the post. At the other end, Amrit Gope made two crucial saves to deny Castaeda and Brandon Vanlalremdika, keeping the score at 1-0. Rajasthan United eventually ran out of ideas against a well-organised Sreenidi Deccan defence. The Hyderabad-based side held firm to protect their slender advantage, starting the season with a solid victory and securing all three points.
