Ranji Trophy: Formidable Karnataka Chase Ninth Title Against First-time Finalists J&K
While Paras Dogra: Jammu and Kashmir will attempt to write the most unlikely chapter in Indian domestic cricket history when they take on a formidable eight-time champions Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy final starting on Tuesday. While Paras Dogra-captained J&K have a maiden title up for grabs, Devdutt Padikkal-led Karnataka are chasing their first crown in well over a decade. J&Ks only defeat in this season came in a 35-run loss to Mumbai in October, and they have not looked back since then. Having defeated Delhi in Delhi, Madhya Pradesh in Indore and Bengal in Kalyani to reach this title clash, J&K have all the tools in their arsenal to have a strong crack at winning the title and change the trajectory of cricket in their state. Karnataka, meanwhile, enter as resounding favourites after amassing 736 and 323 runs in the two innings of their semi-final against Uttarakhand, with KL Rahul, Devdutt Padikkal and R. Smaran all scoring heavily. Karun Nair and Padikkal, who is expected to recover from a hand injury in time for the final, have also been in commanding form. It would also help that Karnataka has won in both of their previous meetings against J&K. An interesting sub-plot in the final will be the clash of Karnatakas batters against J&K ace pacer Auqib Nabi. Nabi, 29, has been the driving force behind J&Ks success by taking 55 wickets in nine matches at an average of 12.72 this season, the second-highest tally in the competition. Apart from his handy lower-order batting, Nabi needs just five more to finish as the leading wicket-taker. Left-arm quick Sunil Kumar and spinner Abid Mushtaq have provided strong support, but Nabi remains the bowler Karnataka will most want to see the back of. Hubbali has hosted only one match this season - Karnataka winning over Chandigarh by an innings and 185 runs, where Smaran made a majestic 227. Yet J&K have made a habit of defying expectation and their wait for a title could end, provided they upstage Karnataka, a task easier said than done.

Australia To Return To South Africa For First Test Tour Since Sandpaper-gate
Cricket South Africa: Australia will tour South Africa for a landmark three-Test series in 2026-27, marking their first red-ball visit to the country since the infamous 2018 ball-tampering episode in Cape Town. Cricket South Africa unveiled their international schedule for the 2026-27 season, confirming a marquee contest between the two most recent World Test Championship winners. The series will culminate at Newlands in Cape Town, the venue where the 2018 scandal unfolded and triggered one of the most turbulent chapters in Australian cricket history. The tour will begin with a three-match ODI series in September, with matches slated for Durban, Johannesburg and Potchefstroom. Australia will then shift focus to the longer format, with Tests scheduled in Durban, Gqeberha and Cape Town. A warm-up fixture in Potchefstroom is also part of the itinerary. Australia are also expected to play limited-overs matches in neighbouring Zimbabwe before crossing into South Africa. Several members of the current Australian squad, including captain Pat Cummins, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon and Josh Hazlewood, were part of the 2018 touring party. While some have since returned to Cape Town for white-ball fixtures, Australia have not undertaken a full Test tour of South Africa in the eight years since that series. David Warner, who, alongside Smith, received a 12-month ban for his involvement in the 2018 incident, has since retired from international cricket, as have former Test skipper Tim Paine and opener Usman Khawaja. Cameron Bancroft, who served a nine-month suspension, is unlikely to feature. For South Africa, the series signals a renewed commitment to hosting Test cricket after a reduced home schedule in recent seasons due to financial pressures and the growing footprint of the SA20 league during the peak summer window. The Proteas have not staged a home Test since January 2025 but are set to host Bangladesh and England in the upcoming southern summer. The Australia series could prove pivotal in shaping the next World Test Championship final. Australia currently lead the standings with one defeat in eight matches but face demanding away tours of South Africa and India, alongside a four-Test home series against New Zealand. Before heading to Africa, Australia are scheduled to host Bangladesh in northern Australia in August, rounding out a packed calendar that will test their depth across formats.

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium: Will Jacks reflected on a clinical all-round performance after guiding England to a commanding 51-run win over Sri Lanka at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Jacks picked up three crucial wickets as a comprehensive effort by the bowlers saw England defending a modest total of 146. We're buzzing with that.

And we had such a brilliant start in the powerplay, Jof got us off to a good start. And then we managed to continue taking wickets all the way throughout, Jacks said during the post-match presentation after receiving the Player of the Match award. Englands bowlers delivered exactly what was required, dismantling Sri Lanka for just 95 in a relentless display built on early breakthroughs and sustained pressure. Jacks credited familiarity with conditions and Englands spin strength as key factors behind their control. We seem to do well here. We've obviously just come off a series against Sri Lanka at this ground. So we do know it well. Yeah, with minimum really 12 overs to spin here. That's it. I think we spin the ball hard, which definitely helps there. And we seem to do well defending, squeezing the game, like squeezing, eking every dot out that we possibly can. And we know as a chasing side how hard it makes it, he said. Jacks himself played a pivotal role with the ball, embracing the responsibility of delivering in crucial phases. His willingness to step up, particularly in the powerplay, has become an important asset for Englands bowling plans. I love getting that responsibility with the ball. I think it encourages me to get into the game and perform better. I think I like that responsibility and bowling in the powerplay is something I've done a lot. So it's not foreign to me. And when we get on the surface like that, I come into the game knowing what I need to do, he mentioned. The victory continued Englands winning run, even as Jacks acknowledged that the side is still striving for its best cricket. He emphasised the value of building momentum and playing with confidence as the tournament progresses. I love getting that responsibility with the ball.

Insulinomas are rare and elusive pancreatic tumours that frequently evade routine diagnostic scans Measuring just 1.3 cm and situated at the neck of the pancreas, the tumours location added significant surgical complexity. Kauvery Hospital, Vadapalani, successfully diagnosed a rare and elusive pancreatic tumour known as an insulinoma in a 60-year-old woman, causing persistently low blood sugar and frequent loss of consciousness. Kauvery Hospital, Vadapalani The hospital followed a stepwise diagnostic approach. Initial imaging studies, including a contrast CT scan and a specialised PET scan, did not clearly identify the cause. The breakthrough came with specialised blood tests measuring insulin and C-peptide levels, followed by a targeted endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), which ultimately helped locate the tumour. The tumours small size and challenging location added a further layer of complexity. Measuring just 1.3 cm, it was located at the neck of the pancreas and surrounded by vital structures. The surgical team therefore opted for a robotic-assisted approach, using robotic intraoperative ultrasound (RIOUS) to accurately localise and safely remove the tumour. The surgery was successful, with the patients blood sugar levels started normalising immediately after the procedure. She made a rapid recovery and was able to return to normal activity the very next day. The diagnostic team was led by Dr. P. Basumani, Senior Consultant and Director, Kauvery Institute of Digestive Sciences, Kauvery Hospital, Vadapalani, while the robotic procedure was performed by Dr. Swaminathan Sambandam, Senior Consultant and Lead, Multi-Organ Transplant (Liver, Kidney, Pancreas and Small Intestine), Kauvery Hospital, Vadapalani. In his comments Dr. Basumani said, Insulinomas are extremely difficult to locate, especially when they are very small. In this case, even advanced imaging did not give us clear answers. Specialised blood tests combined with focused Endoscopic Ultrasound Evaluation helped us precisely identify the tumour . Dr. Swaminathan Sambandam said, This was a technically demanding surgery. Tumours of this size and location are extremely challenging to operate on through conventional methods. Robotic surgery, supported by intraoperative ultrasound, gave us unmatched precision and control. Very few hospitals in the country have access to this level of technology . In his comments, Dr Aravindan Selvaraj, Co-founder and Executive Director, Kauvery Group of Hospitals , said, This case reflects the strength of clinical teamwork, perseverance in diagnosis, and the role of advanced technology in handling rare pancreatic and endocrine tumours. It reinforces Kauvery Hospitals commitment to clinical excellence, advanced diagnostics and state-of-the-art robotic surgery ."
