Tent shelter of Ram Lalla to be kept inside Ayodhya temple as memorabilia
LUCKNOW: As the construction of Shri Ram Temple in Ayodhya has been paced up to meet the mid-May deadline, the tent which housed Lord Ram till August 5, 2020 and the throne from 1949 will be displayed as memorials in the temple premises. Nripendra Mishra, Chairman, Shree Ram Temple Construction Committee said the tent used during the temple movement period is safe with the Shree Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. The work on gold plating of doors on the first floor and the installation of special lighting on the spire is going on. It will be displayed on the premises as a reminder and inspiration, said Mishra while interacting with media persons on the sidelines of the construction review meeting in Ayodhya on Sunday. He added that the original throne used by Ram Lalla in 1949 had been recovered. It would be kept for public viewing alongside the tent. Meanwhile, the idols of Ram Darbar have reached Ayodhya. As per the configuration of the Darbar, Lord Ram and Goddess Sita will be placed on the throne, Lakshman and Shatrughna will be shown waving fans, while Hanuman and Bharat will sit at the feet of Shri Ram and Sita. According to Mishra, on May 1, six doors were installed on the first floor. Crafted from teakwood brought from Chandrapur in Maharashtra, each of the six doors was plated with a layer of copper followed by a layer of gold. The door design features two elephants pouring water on lotus flowers. The symbols of Jaya and Vijaya are carved on both sides of the door. Moreover, two special lights are being mounted on the main spire of the temple. The first is an aviation signal light to alert aircraft about the temple's height. The second is an Arrester light to protect the temple from lightning strikes. Only the final work of flag installation on the spire remains to be done and it is expected to be completed in the next three to four months. On Vaishakh Tritiya or Akshay Tritiya on April 29, the 42-foot flag pole was installed atop the temples main spire. The flag pole was installed by engineers from L&T and TCS using a trolley and two tower cranes. The pole was made by Bharat Bhai Company of Gujarat, designed to reflect the temples sanctity. The temple ramparts are being connected to the main structure. A bridge and lift are under construction on the western side for easier access of devotees. Preparations to apply gold on the 4-foot kalash of the temple have also been completed. The work is expected to be finished within the next three days.
16-year-old labourer becomes first to pass class 10th in this UP village
LUCKNOW: Ram Sewak, 16, has accomplished what was unheard of so far in his village Nizampur during the last 78 years of its existence in Barabanki district, adjacent to state capital Luckow, in UP. He has brought laurels to his village by becoming the first ever person of Nizampur to have cleared class 10 examination securing 55 per cent marks. When DM Saheb called me to honour me, I neither had proper clothes nor the shoes. In fact, it was when I wore the shoes for the first time in my life, shares Ram Sewak. His grades may not sound impressive but his struggle makes him standout in his village inspiring many like him to follow suit and take up studies as priority against all odds. Ram Sewaks success is solely attributed to his daunting spirit and determination against all odds as he is firm to decide the course for a better life emerging from the present state of utter penury which he and his family has been struggling with. Nizampur, situated 28 km interior of the district headquarters, has total population of 300. It falls under Ahmadpur gram panchayat. The village has a paved road, a primary school, and a temple. Most of the men of this village are engaged as daily wagers. So is Ram Sewaks father Jagdish Prasad. Ram Sewak, accompanied by parents, being honoured by DM Shashank Triapthi at his office. Even Ram Sewak carries lights on his head in marriage processions to help his family survive. He has walked many difficult miles to become Nizampurs first ever resident to clear class 10th. The hut in which the family of seven, comprising Ram Sewak, his father Jagdish Prasad, mother Pushpa, two younger brothers and two sisters, put up, has two rooms and a thatched roof. One room houses the fodder for the cattle and other room is used to house the whole family. The house has no electricity, but a solar light, provided under an MLA quota, helps them at night. This is where Ramsevak used to study after working during the day. Narrating his story, Ram Sewak shares his dream to become an engineer. I started my studies from the village primary school, achieved this first significant milestone of life and now my dream is to become an engineer, he says. Ram Sewaks mother Pushpa cooks the mid-day meal in the primary school. She says after completing his studies till class five, Ram Sewak took admission in Class 6 at Government Inter College, 500-metre from the village. The proud mother says that her son kept on clearing all the classes with good marks and appeared in class 10th this year. When I was preparing for class 10th, everyone in the village used to dissuade me saying you are wasting your time on studies. You will not be able to clear class 10th. I used to keep quiet just to prove them wrong with my result, says the boy with a glint of hope and confidence in his eyes. Ram Sewak's house. Ram Sewak is the eldest among his brothers and so shares the responsibility of taking care of the family. Poverty makes one do everything. In the wedding season, I carry lights on head accompanying the wedding processions and earn Rs 200-300 per night. When the wedding season is off, I work as labourer. Whatever, I earn, I spend on my studies including books, and fees, says Ram Sewak adding that he never bothers his parents for his expenses. On his feat, Barabanki DM Shashank Triapthi called Ram Sewak to meet him and honour him. He did not have proper clothes and even shoes. His schoolteachers bought these for him. It was the first time Ramsevak wore shoes. He says that the DM not only honoured him in his office but also waived off his fees for rest of his studies. Ram Sewaks mother, happy over her sons accomplishment, shares that she has also studied till class five and always strives to make her children study. We somehow manage to make the children study as we are very poor. I was never sure that Ram will clear class 10th. One of my sons is studying in class 9th and the other in class 5. My daughter is studying in class 1 while the eldest daughter has been married off, says Pushpa. While Mukesh and Lavlesh of the village failed in class 10th, my son cleared it. I feel so happy and I shall help him study as much as he wants, says the proud father Jagdish Prasad.

IPL playoff dream still alive: Rishabh Pant
Dharamsala: Disappointed but not deflated, Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant is still dreaming of sneaking into the IPL play-offs as he believes his struggling side can turn things around in the remaining three games.

Lucknow Super Giants: Former India opener Virender Sehwag believes Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant should approach his role model MS Dhoni to come out of the lean patch in the IPL 2025. Pant, who was the most expensive player at the last IPL auction with a price tag of Rs 27 crore, is having an underwhelming season with just 128 runs in ten innings. His performances include five single-digit scores, one duck, and only a single half-century. In Sunday's match against the Punjab Kings, Pant came in at No. 4 following two early dismissals but managed only 18 runs off 17 balls while chasing a target of 237. LSG lost the game by 37 runs and now sit seventh on the points table with six defeats in 11 matches. Again, he does have a mobile, all he needs to pick up the phone and call someone. If you feel you are thinking negatively, there are so many cricketers you can discuss with. Dhoni is his role model, so he should call him. It will lighten him up, Sehwag said on Cricbuzz. Additionally, Sehwag suggested that Pant should revisit footage of his past performances to reflect on his routines, citing his own experience from the 2006/07 season as an example. I think Rishabh Pant should watch his old IPL clips where he scored runs, and that will give him confidence. Many times, we tend to forget our routines because this Rishabh Pant is totally different from the one we saw before his injury. I remember back in 2006/07, when I was struggling with runs, I was dropped from the Indian team, and then Rahul Dravid told me to go back and check my routine from the days when I used to score runs. Sometimes, when there are disturbances in the routine, it affects the runs, he added. The IPL 2025 has been the worst-ever season for Pant in the tournament since making his debut in 2016. In his debut season, Pant scored 198 runs in 10 matches at an average of 24.75, including one half-century.

Feeling Sorry For Pant Because He Is Not Changing His Approach: Rayudu
Lucknow Super Giants: Former India batter Ambati Rayudu expressed concern over under-fire Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant, saying that he is feeling sorry for the wicketkeeper-batter for being pretty stubborn about not changing his batting order or his approach. Pant, who was the most expensive buy at the last IPL auction at Rs 27 crore, has not quite lived up to the price tag. In 10 innings so far, hes managed only 128 runs, with five of those innings ending in single digits, including a duck. He has just one half-century to his name in the tournament so far. In the match against Punjab Kings on Sunday, he came in at No. 4 after an early collapse but could only manage 18 off 17 balls while chasing a daunting 237. I think, at this point in time, I'm feeling very sorry for him because he's not been changing his batting order or his approach. I think he's being pretty stubborn about how he wants to go about things. It's not working in his favour at the moment. It happens in this sport, to be very honest, and he is going through a very, very bad patch. It can happen to anybody. I just hope that he takes this learning and improves on it and doesn't become even more stubborn, but just accept the fact that he is struggling and start doing things a little differently (and) try and get better every day, Rayudu said on ESPNcricinfo's Time Out. Rayudu also believes that Pant lacks the mindset and batting approach needed for a middle-order role and suggested that LSG skipper would be better off opening the innings. I think more than anything it's just the clarity of what he wants to do because Pant ideally for me is an opener in white-ball cricket, because in the middle order he has not been great. I know he loves playing in the middle but he doesn't have the batsmanship that is required or the skill set. Maybe he has the skillset, but not the mindset to execute that, Rayudu added. After being asked to bat, PBKS opener Prabhsimran Singh smashed 91 off 48. With late fireworks from captain Shreyas Iyer (45 off 25 balls), Shashank Singh (33 not out off 15 balls) and Marcus Stoinis (15* off 5 balls), PBKS posted a mammoth total of 236/5 in 20 overs.

Arshdeep Singh: The left-arm quick India need in England
With his skill to swing the ball both ways and his dexterity to hit the 6m length consistently, Arshdeep Singh is arguably the best of his type India has had since Zaheer Khan. The 26-year-old's opening spell against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is a gentle reminder to Ajit Agarkar and co. of why he should be on the plane for the five-match Test series against England, starting June 20.
IPL 2025: Kumble Lauds Prabhsimran, Arshdeep For PBKS' Clinical Win Against LSG
Lucknow Super Giants: Former India captain and legendary spinner Anil Kumble credited opener Prabhsimran Singh and Arshdeep Singh for Punjab Kings' dominating 37-run win over Lucknow Super Giants in Dharamshala on Sunday. Prabhsimran scored 48-ball 91 studded with seven sixes and six fours, while skipper Shreyas Iyer contributed 45 in 25 balls to take the side to 236/5 in 20 overs. In reply, Arshdeep led the charge of the bowling attack and claimed three pricey wickets of Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran to dismantle LSG in the powerplay. The visiting side failed to reach over the line despite Ayush Badoni's 74 in 40 laced with five sixes and as many fours. Punjab restricted Lucknow to 199/7 in 20 overs to bag two points and jump to the second spot in the points table. Prabhsimran was named Player of the Match for setting up the foundation of Punjab's big win in Dharamshala. Hes (Prabhsimran) certainly shown that he can play all around the ground; ramp shots, pull, hook, reverse slog, and sweep , hes got it all. Whats been exceptional this season is his consistency. In the last three games, hes delivered. Today, he was dropped on 21 but carried on, made it count, and ensured his runs mattered deep into the innings. Hes been outstanding for Punjab, Kumble said on JioHotstar. Kumble praised Arshdeeps powerplay spell as the turning point in Punjab Kings dominant win. This was the moment where a momentum shift was needed - and it came with the bat first, posting 236, which isnt an easy target to chase. But in a game like this, the powerplay becomes critical. Arshdeep Singh set the tone brilliantly, swinging the ball both ways, hitting the right line and length, and keeping things simple. He broke through the top order - LSGs most destructive batters - and that was the decisive moment. His three wickets in the powerplay laid the foundation, and the other pacers backed him up perfectly, he said. The former spinner also broke down the play-off scenarios and highlighted how every game still counts in the race to the top four. Kumble pointed out that Delhi Capitals need to beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in their clash on Monday to bolster their case for the playoffs. It all depends on DC first - they play SRH today. If they win, they go to 14 points before facing Punjab, making that match almost like a semi-final. Whoever wins will have a better chance of qualifying, though the loser could still make it depending on other results.

IPL 2025: Playoff dream still alive, we can definitely turn things around: Rishabh Pant

'Captain came up with the move': Ponting hails Shreyas' tactical call
Punjab Kings' head coach Ricky Ponting lauded Shreyas Iyer's captaincy, particularly the strategic promotion of Josh Inglis, which proved pivotal in their dominant victory against Lucknow Super Giants. Inglis' aggressive innings against Mayank Yadav shifted the momentum, while Prabhsimran Singh's explosive 91 and Arshdeep Singh's impactful bowling further solidified PBKS's win, propelling them to second place in the table.
IPL 2025: Ponting Reveals It Was Shreya's Call To Promote Iglish To No.3 Against LSG
Lucknow Super Giants: Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting commended captain Shreyas Iyer for his strategic decision to elevate Josh Inglis to the no.3 position, a move that paid dividends as the Australian, in partnership with Prabhsimran Singh, provided PBKS with a solid start against Lucknow Super Giants. After PBKS lost Priyansh Arya cheaply for one, the duo put on a 48-run stand in 22 balls for the second wicket before Inglis departed. In his 30-run innings Inglis smashed three sixes and a boundary off Mayank Yadav. It was actually a move that the captain came up with, and Shreyas thought, on that sort of a pitch, against that bowling attack, it would be the right thing to. If a wicket fell early, to send Inglis in. We felt that Mayank would bowl early on, and if you look at the way he bowls, he generally bowls reasonably short, and that's one of Inglis' great strengths. As you saw tonight, those pull shots were pretty amazing straight away. So, yeah, that was what the captain wanted to do. It then also allows us to have, you know, lyer, Wadera and Shashank through the middle of the innings, which is what we thought would be crucial for us in tonight's game as well. It was probably a surprise call for LSG to see him go out, and it paid off for us tonight, Ponting said at the post-match presser. Punjab piled up 236/ 5, driven by a blistering 91 from Prabhsimran, who missed out on a maiden IPL hundred by just nine runs. Captain Iyer and Shashank Singh chipped in with explosive cameos to propel the run rate in the latter half of the innings. Once we got off to a (flier) you know, I think we were 70-odd at the end of the power play, all the momentum was going with us, and you see with our batting, we've got someone like Azmatullah at number nine, so we bat really, really deep, It allows our top order to play with a lot of freedom, and they did that tonight, he said. The Aussie coach praised Prabhsimran for his performance and said, He has done brilliantly througout the tournament. Priyansh and Prabhsimrabn have got off to a good starts throughout the tournament. Before tonight, both made 350 runs each. I challenged both openers today for one of them to get a hundred in this match. Unfortunately, Prabhsimran fell little bit short. He's a very, very good young player and he's very keen to bring success to this team and that showed with the way that he played tonight, Ponting added. In reply, Lucknow's chase never took off as they were reduced to 73/4 by the 10th over. Arshdeep Singh rattled the top order with a sharp opening burst, finishing with figures (3-16) that broke the backbone of the oppositions batting. The visitors were eventually bundled out well short, handing PBKS a comfortable victory and a second win over Lucknow this season. Ponting further praised Arshdeep for his bowling performance and said the pacer is gaining confidence as the tournament is progressing. Arshdeep has got better and better every game. He's got more confident and starting to get those powerplay wickets now that we know that he can with that brand new ball. His first over tonight set the tone for our bowling innings. He's a star and we're very lucky to have him in our team, he said. The victory move PBKS' up to the second place in the points table within striking distance of a playoff berth. Arshdeep has got better and better every game. He's got more confident and starting to get those powerplay wickets now that we know that he can with that brand new ball.

IPL 2025: Everyone Stepped Up At The Right Time, Says Iyer After PBKS Move To Second Place
After Punjab Kings: After Punjab Kings (PBKS) moved to second place in points table with a 37-run win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), skipper Shreyas Iyer said he was glad that everyone in the team stepped up at the right time to get them those crucial two points. At the HPCA Stadium, Prabhsimran Singhs sublime 48-ball 91, along with cameos from Josh Inglis, Iyer, Nehal Wadhera, Shashank Singh and Marcus Stoinis took PBKS to a massive 236/5. In reply, led by Arshdeep Singhs 3-16, PBKS restricted LSG to 199/7, earning them their first IPL win in Dharamshala after 12 years. Elated, to be honest. Everyone stepped up at the right time, contribution was immense from everyone. The way he performed, it was exceptional and so pleasing to the eye. I am glad I did not know about it. Stepped onto the field to win the match and that was the mindset. Was not thinking about stats or what is a good score to defend. We have been lucky, but the luck has been because of the hard work. Each and every individual knows their roles precisely and the way they executed, it was top-notch. The only thing we need to correct is the awareness (in the field) and the way we move - that is the only box we have to tick off. Just back yourselves and your instincts - that has been working for us, not think too much about stats. The resultit does matter and that is winning, said Iyer after the match ended. Rishabh Pant, LSG captain, lamented giving away too many runs after electing to bowl first. Definitely too many runs (were given away). When you drop crucial catches at the wrong time, it can hurt you badly. We thought it would do more, but we did not pick the length right at the start. But that is part and parcel of the game. Asked if they are looking to change the batting order, Pant said, It makes sense when your top order is batting well. Every match, you cannot hope for them to come off. It is part of the game, we have to take it deep sometimes. We had too many runs to catch up on and that hurt us badly.

Rishabh Pant hit three boundaries in his 18 off 17 off balls, before flashing so hard against Azmatullah Omarzai that he lost control of the bat, while the ball was easily caught by deep cover in the eighth over. LSGs slide continued as David Miller sliced to deep cover, giving Omarzai his second wicket. Samad and Badoni brought out some big-hitting blitzkrieg smashing 21 runs off Vyshak Vijaykumars first over, before the former dispatched Yuzvendra Chahal for two sixes in the 13th over. Samads blitzkrieg continued when he whipped Marcus Stoinis for four and six, before he hit a slower ball from Jansen back to left-arm pacer and fall for a 24-ball 45. Badoni went on to bring up his fifty off 32 balls by lofting Vyshak over long-on for six, and followed it up with an incredible whip and sweep fetching him more boundaries.

IPL 2025: Prabhsimran Singhs Sublime 91 Carries PBKS To Massive 236/5 Against LSG
Opener Prabhsimran Singh: Opener Prabhsimran Singh continued his great run in IPL 2025 with a sublime 91 off 48 balls as Punjab Kings (PBKS) posted a massive 236/5 in their 20 overs against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the HPCA Stadium on Sunday. Though Prabhsimran missed out on hitting his second IPL century, his exhilarating boundary-hitting 60% of his runs coming through off-side, propelled PBKS to their 11th 200-plus total in the tournament. He was well-supported by cameos from Josh Inglis (30), Shreyas Iyer (45), Nehal Wadhera (16), Shashank Singh (33 not out) and Marcus Stoinis (15 not out), as PBKS amassed 75 runs off the last five overs. For LSG, left-arm pacer Akash Singh was the only standout bowler - bowling his four overs on the trot to pick 2-30 and managed to keep his economy rate below 10. PBKS were dealt an early blow when Priyansh Arya sliced an away swinging ball from Akash Singh to deep third man. Josh Inglish took a liking to Mayank Yadavs pace and short balls by smacking him for three sixes including being given a reprieve by Avesh Khan at square leg in the second over. Prabhsimran then orchestrated Mayanks takedown by slashing, clubbing and slicing to collect two sixes and a four. Akash struck again in power-play by having Inglis pull straight to square leg and dismiss him for a14-ball 30. After being given a reprieve when Nicholas Pooran dropped his catch at mid-off, Prabhsimran took charge by muscling Avesh Khan, Digvesh Rathi and Prince Yadav for boundaries, before getting his fifty off 30 balls. From the other end, Shreyas Iyer continued his good runs by hitting boundaries at will with his sixes off Prince and Digvesh being the standout shots. But against the run of play, Iyer looked to slice off Rathi, but was caught by point. Prabhsimran made up for a mini slowdown by slog-sweeping Digvesh for a brace of sixes, before pulling Prince for another maximum. Prince, though, had something to cheer by uprooting Nehal Wadheras leg-stump with a pin-point yorker. Shashank Singh joined the run-scoring party by smacking Mayank for four and six, including sending the ball outside stadium. While Prabhsimran pulled and lofted Avesh for a brace of sixes apart from a lucky edge flying for four, Shashank scooped and edged for his two boundaries, as 26 runs came off the 18th over, with PBKS crossing 200-mark. Just when it looked like he would get a century, Prabhsimrans attempt to reverse-sweep Rathi ended up in extra cover taking a diving catch, as he fell for a brilliant 91. Marcus Stoinis lofted Avesh for six, before Shashank picked a four via scoop to end a brilliant batting for PBKS laced with a whopping 34 boundaries. Prince, though, had something to cheer by uprooting Nehal Wadheras leg-stump with a pin-point yorker. Shashank Singh joined the run-scoring party by smacking Mayank for four and six, including sending the ball outside stadium.

IPL 2025: Haddin Lauds Young Talents For 'giving Real Depth' To PBKS Ahead Of Key Clash
Indian Premier League: As the Indian Premier League 2025 enters its decisive phase, the Punjab Kings are set to kick off their second home leg at the HPCA Stadium with a key clash on Sunday. Ahead of their match against Lucknow Super Giants, assistant coach Brad Haddin revealed how the Kings are keen to capitalize on their recent form and secure a pivotal victory in front of their home crowd. Haddin highlighted the impact made by the younger players throughout the season and how their contributions have strengthened the team. A prime example of a youngster coming good for Punjab Kings is Priyansh Arya, the 23-year-old from Delhi who has so far scored 346 runs in 10 matches and has forged a successful partnership with Prabhsimran Singh (346 runs). Our young guys are really starting to step up, and thats been the most pleasing aspect so far. Of course, our senior players thrive in these high-pressure moments and will be key to winning games, but its the emerging talent thats giving us real depth, Haddin noted. Currently positioned fourth in the league standings behind Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, all three with 14 points, the Kings have had an exciting season so far. Speaking on the team's progress, Haddin said, For us, it's all about excitement. This is the time of the tournament when you want to be playing your best cricket. And if you look at our recent performances, weve been getting better with each game. We were really clinical with the bat in the last game. What were aiming for is a steady improvement, especially as we approach the final stages of the tournament, he added. Praising the bowling unit, Haddin discussed their adaptability and strategic approach, which has played a key role in limiting opposition totals. Last year we saw some steep totals, and although thats still the case at times, I think the bowlers deserve a lot of credit. Theyve done their homework, especially with the new 'Impact Player' rule, and its showing in their execution throughout the tournament, he said. He also discussed the support being received from the locals and stressed how the support has been as immense as they received in Mullanpur.
