Kuldeep Yadavs Trade Seen as Masterstroke for Lucknow Super Giants by Abhinav Mukund
Former opener Abhinav Mukund praises Kuldeep Yadavs trade to LSG as a game-changer for the IPL franchise. Kuldeep Yadavs Trade Seen as Masterstroke for Lucknow Super Giants by Abhinav Mukund
LSG May Release Nortje, Hasaranga, Avesh To Get Middle-order Batter At Auction: Aakash Chopra
Lucknow Super Giants: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) could go into the 2027 IPL mini auction, to be held in Goa on December 16, with a hefty purse if they let go of a clutch of names like Anrich Nortje, Wanindu Hasaranga and Avesh Khan, which would enable them to get a reliable middle-order batter. LSG had a forgettable time in IPL 2026, finishing at the bottom of the points table with 8 points and winning 4 of 14 matches. The problem with LSG is that their overseas batters are all top-order players. Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Josh Inglis, Nicholas Pooran and Matthew Breetzke all do well in the top order in T20s. In bowling, Anrich Nortje always seems to get injured, so LSG wouldnt mind releasing him. They have got Kuldeep Yadav, which is a phenomenal trade for them, and he will thrive at the Ekana Stadium. With Kuldeeps arrival, their reliance on Wanindu Hasaranga goes away, meaning he can be released as well. George Linde wont play many games either. Mayank Yadav seems to have overcome his injury issues, and the rise of Prince Yadav gives them enough pace options to let go of a senior pacer. So Avesh Khan might be released too. He didnt have a bad season, but his price is too high, so they might release him to get more funds. If they release all these players, LSG will have a very big purse heading into the mini auction, where they can buy a good middle-order batter and solve the issue that has been haunting them for the last few seasons, said Chopra to JioStar. On the competition LSG could face at the auction, Chopra said the picture will only become clear once other franchises announce who they are retaining when the retention deadline comes on November 17. They will have to work hard in the auction because a lot of teams havent finalised their retention list yet, and if some big Indian player gets released and he turns out to be a middle-order batter, then they will go all out for that particular player. But if they dont find an Indian option, then I feel they should go after an overseas option, he added. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS
Kuldeeps Trade To LSG Could Be One Of The Smartest Moves Of The IPL 2027 Season: Abhinav Mukund
Lucknow Super Giants: The acquisition of left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) via a trade earlier this year has the makings of a masterstroke, said former India opener Abhinav Mukund. He also felt that Kuldeeps arrival could shape the franchises fortunes in the 2027 IPL season. Shortly after IPL 2026 was over, Kuldeep was traded to LSG from Delhi Capitals, with wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant going the other way. Kuldeep Yadav is a phenomenal signing for Lucknow Super Giants. He is a genuine wicket-taking spinner, and in T20 cricket, that is worth its weight in gold. He does not just keep the runs down, he looks for wickets in the middle overs, and that changes the game for a captain. At the Ekana Stadium, where the pitch offers help to spinners, he will be even more dangerous. His partnership with Digvesh Rathi could be one of the most exciting spin pairings in the IPL. Both of them are attacking bowlers who are not afraid to toss the ball up and invite the batters to go after them, because they know their variations can get them out. When you have two spinners asking different questions, it becomes very hard for the opposition to settle. If they build a strong understanding, LSG will have a spin attack that can win them games on its own and for me, this trade could be one of the smartest moves of the season, said Mukund to JioStar. While the bowling attack looks to be taking shape, LSG still have a vacancy to fill at the top. They are chasing a first IPL title and are on the lookout for a new captain after Pants departure from the franchise. Mukund named overseas duo Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran as the leading options to lead LSG, but added that a senior Indian player arriving via the trade window could change the picture. Lucknow Super Giants are on the hunt for a captain. Now it depends on their team management about what they prefer, whether they prefer to appoint a captain from a player in their squad or whether they choose someone from the mini auction. The strongest option within the squad is Aiden Markram. He leads their SA20 side, Durbans Super Giants, which makes his case for leading LSG quite strong. Then Nicholas Pooran is an option too, because he captains MI New York and the Trinbago Knight Riders as well, so hes a good option too. So they have good options in their squad, but the trade window could change things. If LSG find a senior Indian player who can lead the side, they might look at that option instead. An Indian captain is always easier to manage in the IPL because they understand the local players and the pressure that comes with the role. So, while Markram and Pooran are strong candidates, LSG should keep their options open going into the auction, he added. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Pankaj Tripathi recently spoke about his approach to acting, the challenges of public attention and his preference for a simple life in an exclusive conversation with Filmfare. The actor, whose latest film Parivarik ManuRanjan co-stars Aditi Rao Hydari, also discussed the film's storytelling, his experience of working with Aditi and the people who have shaped his craft. Talking about the film's reception, Tripathi said the makers deliberately chose a simple narrative without unnecessary twists or drama. Explaining the intention behind the story, he said, We wanted to keep it simple and linear, with no twists or turns. He added, For me, it was an attempt to make something that offers comfort. Explaining why the makers avoided conventional storytelling elements, he said, Usually, when two people of the opposite gender end up living in the same house, the first assumption is that the story will explore their sexuality and sexual desires. We consciously wanted to avoid that. The actor also spoke about the film's underlying message of kindness, forgiveness and mutual respect. He explained that the story consciously avoids the assumptions often associated with two people of opposite genders sharing a home. Instead, it focuses on how strangers gradually develop trust and understanding. Speaking about the constant attention actors receive in public, Tripathi highlighted how people sometimes overlook their personal circumstances. He said, People sometimes forget that we are ordinary human beings too. We have our own sorrows, disappointments and moods. We cannot always be happy or available, but we are expected to be present all the time. Sometimes, I find that emotionally difficult. You wonder how much of your own pain you are expected to suppress. Recalling his experience of working with Aditi Rao Hydari, Tripathi described her as a sincere and hardworking actor and a wonderful human being. He also shared memories from their Lucknow schedule, including introducing her to Dahi Chura and visiting a local resident named Poonamji, whose traditional home-cooked meals became a memorable part of their shoot. When asked about the people who have influenced his acting, Tripathi made it clear that his inspiration comes primarily from theatre and literature. I don't think I have had any such conversations with people from the film industry. I have been much more influenced by my theatre teachers. Show minimum, create maximum. He said the philosophy continues to influence his minimalistic approach to acting. The actor also shared his understanding of an alpha man, explaining that leadership need not involve aggression. A leader can be polite, thoughtful and considerate, he said, adding that someone can lead without relying on stereotypical alpha qualities. Reflecting on his motivation, Tripathi said he does not necessarily draw inspiration from box-office success or his bank balance. My motivation comes from within. I don't necessarily draw motivation from a film's success or my bank balance. I find it in nature and in the little things around me. I have EMIs to pay, and sometimes I remind myself that if I don't work, how will I pay the bank instalments?, he said filmfare. The actor further admitted that he does not chase publicity and would prefer a quieter life. I have become fairly well-known now, but sometimes I wish I could go back to being unknown, he said. He added that once his expenses are taken care of, he would rather travel, cook, spend time in the jungle and enjoy a simple life.

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Nov 14 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed officials to ensure foolproof arrangements for the safety, convenience and cleanliness for devotees during Chhath Mahaparva, stressing that there should be no compromise on public safety and essential facilities at ghats across the state. Chairing a high-level review meeting through video conferencing on Friday, the Chief Minister instructed district administrations to complete all preparations well in advance, particularly in districts witnessing large gatherings of devotees, including Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Ballia, Azamgarh, Ghazipur, Lucknow, Ghaziabad, Basti and Kanpur Nagar. Describing Chhath as a festival rooted in faith, discipline, purity and gratitude towards nature, Chief Minister Adityanath said, Lakhs of devotees will participate in the festival with immense devotion and enthusiasm across various districts of the state. He noted that devotees would offer arghya to the setting Sun on the evening of November 15, while the four-day festival would conclude on November 16 with offerings to the rising Sun. Directing officials to inspect all major ghats, rivers, ponds and other water bodies, the Chief Minister emphasised proper cleaning, adequate lighting, accessible approach roads, clean drinking water, toilets and changing rooms for women. Giving top priority to devotees' safety, CM Adityanath ordered the installation of strong barricades and warning signboards at vulnerable locations after assessing water levels and depths. Adequate numbers of trained divers, boats and water police personnel must be deployed to prevent accidents. CCTV cameras and public address systems should also be installed for continuous surveillance and crowd management. Special attention, CM Adityanath said, must be given to women, children and senior citizens. Adequate police personnel, including women officers, should be deployed at major ghats. Police personnel should be counselled and encouraged to discharge their duties with restraint, sensitivity and a cooperative approach, the Chief Minister directed. The Chief Minister also called for district-level control rooms and effective coordination between police and administrative officials. Traffic management plans, necessary diversions and designated parking areas should be prepared in advance to prevent congestion around the Puja sites. In a major relief for people travelling home for the festival, CM Adityanath directed the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation to operate additional buses from Delhi to various districts of eastern Uttar Pradesh. He categorically instructed officials to ensure that passengers are not charged more than the prescribed fares. He also directed the Urban Development and Panchayati Raj departments to organise special cleanliness drives around ghats and ensure uninterrupted electricity supply, with alternative lighting arrangements. First-aid camps, ambulances and emergency services must remain available at major Puja sites, the Chief Minister said. Warning against negligence, CM Adityanath added, There must be no compromise on cleanliness, safety and public convenience during the festival. Senior officials were instructed to personally inspect arrangements and seek assistance from Civil Defence, NCC and NSS volunteers to ensure the smooth and safe celebration of Chhath Mahaparva.

Star Cast: Pankaj Tripathi, Aditi Rao Hydari Director: Varun V Sharma Parivarik ManuRanjan Movie Review Synopsis: PARIVARIK MANURANJAN is the story of a man's bond with his housekeeper. Lucknow-based Ranjan Dubey (Pankaj Tripathi) works in the electricity department. He's 40 and unmarried and resides all alone in the palatial Dubey Niwas. Ranjan does all the work alone and his neighbour, colleague and best friend, Rajaram (Brijendra Kala), asks him to hire a maid. Rajaram posts a video on Facebook asking for those interested in 24-hour housekeeping to apply. Rajaram further states in the video that lodging and boarding would be provided for free. The next day, Helen (Aditi Rao Hydari) lands up at Dubey Niwas to apply for the position. She hesitates at first when she realizes that there are no ladies in the house. But Ranjan's kind behaviour motivates her to take up the job. Ranjan's life gets better as he now gets ironed clothes and delicious homecooked food. He also finds himself getting attracted to Helen. Unknown to Ranjan, Helen is hiding a secret. In fact, her real name is not Helen but Manu Joshi. What happens next forms the rest of the film. Parivarik ManuRanjan Movie Story Review: Brijendra Kala, Ali Abbas Zafar and Varun V Sharma's story is sweet and much needed in todays times of hyper-macho films. Brijendra Kala, Ali Abbas Zafar and Varun V Sharma's screenplay is breezy and heartwarming. However, the writing suffers in some places. Brijendra Kala's dialogues add to the fun. The monologue in the climax is dramatic and very well worded. Varun V Sharma's direction is simple and reminds one of the films of Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee. Another parallel that can be drawn is with the recently released Malayalam film, BETHLEHEM KUDUMBA UNIT [2026], as both stories revolve around an older man falling for a younger woman. However, the similarities end there, as the milieu, setting and characterizations are completely different. The bond shared by Ranjan and Manu is heartwarming. In fact, the film brings a smile to one's face from start to finish. As is often the case in small towns, a young, beautiful woman staying in a single man's house raises eyebrows, and this aspect is also nicely depicted. An unexpected twist at the midpoint adds to the intrigue. The finale is dramatic and justified. On the flipside, it is strange that Ranjan never asks for identity proof when a mysterious woman turns up seeking a job. This is a basic precaution in today's times. Manu's family is mentioned several times but is never shown. It would have been interesting to know more about her family members. A few developments are bewildering, such as Ranjan's sisters forcing Manu to work during the mundan ceremony. The circumstances that lead Ranjan to hire a full-time maid also seem sudden and unconvincing. Lastly, the manner in which Mukesh Tiwari's character gets hoodwinked is difficult to digest. Parivarik ManuRanjan Movie Review Performances: Pankaj Tripathi is aptly cast as Ranjan Dubey, a man with a gentle and non-threatening personality. Thanks to Pankajs persona and demeanour, it is completely believable that Helen agrees to stay in Ranjans house despite him being the only occupant. The actor brings humour to the film in his own style and does very well in the confrontation sequences. Aditi Rao Hydari looks stunning and gets completely into the skin of her character. Again, her arresting presence and pleasing personality add to her fine performance. The chemistry shared by both is too good. Brijendra Kala and Sunita Rajwar (Tamanna) are dependable as always. Mukesh Tiwari (Bhoop Singh) makes his presence felt. Vijayant Kohli (Harishankar) and Neelu Dogra (Babita) lend able support. Kumar Saurabh (Chaurasiya; panwallah) raises laughs. Others who do well are Ghanshyam Garg (Ghanshyam; office colleague), Jyoti Pandey (Jyoti Kumari; cop), Sunil Kumar Verma (Sunil Gupta; boss) and Niharika Porwal (Swati; office colleague). Parivarik ManuRanjan movie music and other technical aspects: Songs are okay but 'Jingle Bell' and 'Sir Sir Sir' stand out. 'Chaaap Tilak' works due to the picturization. Joel Crasto's background score is in sync with the films mood. Anup Singh's cinematography is satisfactory. Vikram Singh and Ravin Karde's production design is authentic. Vineet Chauhan's costumes for Pankaj Tripathi are realistic, while Chandrakant Sonawane's costumes for Aditi Rao Hydari are straight out of life and yet a bit glamorous. Malvika Bajaj's costumes for the rest of the characters are fair. Steven Bernard's editing is breezy. Parivarik ManuRanjan Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, PARIVARIK MANURANJAN is a sweet, heartwarming entertainer that stands out in todays times of larger-than-life, action-packed films, thanks to its simple storytelling, feel-good moments and the lovely chemistry between Pankaj Tripathi and Aditi Rao Hydari.
Allahabad HC flags indefinite freezing of bank accounts after cyber fraud
The Allahabad High Court has expressed serious concern over indefinite freezing of bank accounts of people after their identities and personal details are misused by cybercriminals. A Lucknow bench of justices Rajan Roy and Subhash Vidyarthi on Thursday asked the Centre to devise an effective mechanism to address such cases, observing that gullible citizens should not be left trapped in the aftermath of cybercrimes committed using their details. The bench impleaded the home ministry in a petition filed by a builder whose bank accounts have remained frozen. It directed Deputy Solicitor General SB Pandey, appearing for the Union government, to obtain instructions and file an affidavit in response. The matter will be heard after four weeks. In its order, the bench said, We would like the concerned ministries/departments to come-up with a solution to such problems where gullible citizens are caught in a trap by the cyber criminals and their details are used by the latter for committi

'Received calls from NDA, INDIA Bloc parties': Aazad Samaj Party chief on new alliance
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Nov 13 (IANS) Aazad Samaj Party-Kanshi Ram President, Chandra Shekhar Azad, on Friday, said that he received calls from alliance partners of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the INDIA Bloc, displaying willingness to join the 'Samajik Parivartan Morcha' alliance that he has set up with Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh elections. This comes a day after the Lok Sabha MP said that he was willing to keep doors open to include any other Opposition party in the 'Samajik Parivartan Morcha' alliance, formed to contest the upcoming UP elections, with Azad being declared as the chief ministerial candidate. Speaking to IANS, the Aazad Samaj Party chief said: I received a call from a constituent party of the NDA. They suggested that if they are accorded due respect, they would like to contest the election alongside us and become part of this alliance. I told them that I would consult our existing alliance partners; if they agree, we will take the conversation forward. I also received a call from senior leaders of a party within the INDIA Bloc. They expressed that they would be willing to join this broader alliance and contribute to stopping the Bharatiya Janata Party. We are open to this, he added. Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party (SP) President, Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday welcomed the 'Samajik Parivartan Morcha' alliance of Aazad Samaj Party-Kanshi Ram and the AIMIM, while asserting that rue success is only possible with 'Rajnaitik Parivartan Morcha'. Reacting to the same, Azad said, Thats fine. I congratulate him on his analysis. Stressing that his fight is against the BJP-led NDA, the MP said, I had even extended an offer to them (SP). I dont quite understand this particular stance of his. He (Akhilesh) has welcomed and he should do so. In a democracy, everyone has the right. The Aazad Samaj Party chief further said that if the SP can contest elections in Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, or Jammu, then, being from Uttar Pradesh, we will certainly contest with full strength. We will fight, we will win, and we will raise the voices of the marginalised. We wont just sit at home after securing their votes. Instead, we will champion their issues, become their source of strength, and serve as their voice, he stated.

Chhath Puja: BJP govts in Delhi, Bihar to run 77 buses with subsidised fare
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 12 (IANS) On the occasion of Chhath Puja, the BJP-led governments in Delhi and Bihar have decided to deploy 77 buses for ferrying devotees on subsidised tickets, Delhi Transport Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh said on Thursday. He said the initiative reflects the shared commitment of both governments to ease the festive travel rush and strengthen interstate public transport connectivity. The initial arrangement from Anand Vihar Bus Terminal includes 77 buses across five Bihar divisions: Muzaffarpur (36), Patna (13), Purnea (12), Gaya Ji (10) and Darbhanga (6), he said. To provide financial relief to passengers, subsidised festival fares are being charged across Non-AC Seater, Non-AC Sleeper, AC Seater and AC Sleeper categories, he said. Depending on the route and bus category, passengers will benefit from reductions ranging from Rs 134 to Rs 1,028, he said. For instance, the Non-AC Seater fare on the Patna-Delhi route has been reduced from Rs 1,615 to Rs 1,221, while the AC Seater fare has been brought down from Rs 1,980 to Rs 1,361, he said. Pankaj Kumar Singh said, Chhath Puja holds immense cultural and emotional significance for lakhs of people from Bihar and Poorvanchal residing in Delhi. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, the Delhi government is committed to working in coordination with the Bihar Government to ensure that passengers can travel home safely and affordably. The introduction of subsidised fares and additional bus services is an important step towards making public transport more accessible during the festive season, he said in a statement. The Minister highlighted the proposed Reciprocal Transport Agreement between Delhi and Bihar, which envisages 18 interstate routes connecting Delhi with major destinations in Bihar, including Patna, Gaya, Bhagalpur, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga, Purnea, Araria, Kishanganj, Buxar, Nawada, Madhubani and Biharsharif. The proposed arrangement provides for bus operations in both directions, with a permit quota of 12 buses each for Delhi and Bihar on every route. Several routes will connect through major transit points in Uttar Pradesh, including Noida, Agra, Lucknow, Kanpur, Gorakhpur and Varanasi. Pankaj Kumar Singh said that passenger safety and environmental compliance have also been prioritised under the proposed agreement. Only BS-VI environment-friendly CNG buses and electric buses will be permitted. Buses will also be required to have vehicle location tracking devices and emergency buttons. The agreement further provides for mutual recognition of tickets issued in either state and stipulates that the arrangement will remain valid for 10 years subject to applicable legal provisions, he said. The Delhi Transport Minister reiterated that the initial 77-bus service is an important beginning and that its operations will be monitored to assess passenger requirements. Further routes and services will be incorporated in a phased manner to strengthen connectivity between Delhi and Bihar and provide passengers with more convenient and affordable travel options, the statement said.

'Who Will Captain The Side: Aakash Chopra Flags DCs Leadership Uncertainty After Pant Trade
Lucknow Super Giants: Former India cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra has questioned Delhi Capitals leadership plans following their trade for Rishabh Pant from Lucknow Super Giants, identifying uncertainty over the captaincy and concerns around the pace attack as two major challenges for the franchise ahead of the upcoming IPL season. Chopra believes KL Rahul could emerge as the leading option to captain the side, while Pants batting position will also be crucial to making the most of his return. Assessing the choices available to Delhi, Chopra noted the presence of multiple candidates but said the franchises final decision remains unclear. There are multiple questions, actually. Its an MCQ because who will be the captain? Rishabh Pant has been a captaincy candidate, KL Rahul is an option, and Im hearing that Axar doesnt want to be the captain. So, with everything going on, you dont even know who will captain the side. It could well be KL Rahul at this stage, Chopra told JioStar. He also stressed that Pant must be deployed in the top half of the batting order if Delhi are to extract maximum value from the trade, questioning the logic of bringing the wicketkeeper-batter back only to use him lower down the order, while suggesting that Lucknow may have benefited more from the exchange. And Rishabh Pant, now that you have traded him, must bat in the top four. If you are going to bat him lower than that, then you will not utilise him to his fullest potential. I felt that in that trade, LSG was better off because you couldnt have asked for more than a bowler of Kuldeeps calibre for that pitch, he added. While Delhi appear to have considerable batting depth, Chopra identified the bowling unit as a potential weakness, particularly with Mitchell Starcs availability still uncertain. He also highlighted the financial investment in the fast-bowling options and the question marks surrounding their recent performances and pointed to the contrasting value of Delhis pace acquisitions, noting that some of their relatively inexpensive recruits had delivered strong returns, while the availability and form of the costlier options remained a concern. Ashutosh, Sameer Rizvi, Tristan Stubbs, plus Axar Patel, and then youve got Miller. So, its a very decent setup. The problem area for them will be their bowling department. Because Mitchell Starc, will he play? It will be a conversation as to whether he will be available to play or not. They will face an issue with their fast bowling this season and how they plan to address it, Ive got no idea. Mukesh is at eight crore, Auqib Nabi at Rs 8.4 crore, and then you have Mitchell Starc at nearly 12, so thats a lot of money. Lungi Ngidi was cheap, picked up for Rs 2 crore. He turned out to be a fantastic bargain. Dushmantha Chameera and Kyle Jamieson werent as expensive either. But the more expensive players might not be available. Their pedigree and current form are still uncertain, and Mukesh Kumars T20 numbers have actually plummeted a little, Chopra stated. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

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.
