MSC Maratha Royals Defend T20 Mumbai League Title
Mumbai Cricket Association President Ajinkya: Defending champions MSC Maratha Royals successfully retained their T20 Mumbai League title, edging past ARCS Andheri by eight runs in a thrilling final at the Wankhede Stadium. Powered by Chinmay Sutars gritty half-century and a disciplined bowling display spearheaded by Tushar Deshpande, the Royals held their nerve to seal back-to-back titles. The presentation ceremony was attended by Mumbai Cricket Association President Ajinkya Naik, League Governing Council Chairman Rajdip Gupta, and other office-bearers of the Mumbai Cricket Association. In the men's final played in front of a crowd of more than 31,000 fans, the in-form Divyaansh Sksena led Andheri's chase of 155, with another impressive half-century, scoring 51 off 40 balls to become the only batter this season to register three fifties. Every time ARCS Andheri looked to build momentum through a partnership, the Maratha Royals bowlers struck back, with Divyaansh holding the innings together through a series of useful stands. He stitched together a 38-run partnership with Arjun Tendulkar for the second wicket and later added 25 runs with Pragnesh Kanpillewar for the fourth before falling to Tushar after hitting four boundaries and three sixes. Pragnesh too showed promise during his brisk 21-ball stay, striking two fours and a six before being dismissed by left-arm spinner Aditya Dhumal off the very next delivery. With Andheri reduced to 104/5, the responsibility shifted firmly onto skipper Shivam Dube. However, Deshpande, who was leading the side after Siddhesh Lad left the field with an injured arm, removed the India all-rounder for 15 to put the Royals firmly in control. Gaurav Jathars late cameo of 23 off 17 balls kept Andheri's hopes alive briefly, but the Royals tightened the screws to restrict them to 146/8. Earlier, after being put in to bat, Sutar and skipper Lad rescued Maratha Royals from an early wobble with a crucial 65-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Andheri struck early through Arjun Tendulkar, who removed two batters in quick succession to leave the defending champions reeling at 29/2 inside the opening three overs. In need of stability, Sutar held the innings together with a composed half-century, while Lad played the supporting role to steer the Royals past the 100-run mark. Lad looked set for a bigger score but was dismissed for 33 off 25 balls, laced with three fours and a six. Sutar continued to anchor the innings, finding the boundary four times and clearing the ropes twice during his 52-ball knock. He eventually retired out in the penultimate over after laying a solid platform. However, the Royals failed to accelerate at the death as Tushar and Rohan Raje were unable to provide the finishing touches, with the Andheri bowlers maintaining disciplined lines to restrict them to 154/5 in their 20 overs. Sutar continued to anchor the innings, finding the boundary four times and clearing the ropes twice during his 52-ball knock. He eventually retired out in the penultimate over after laying a solid platform.

LG Sinha Attends Global Kashmiri Pandit Conclave
Srinagar, JUNE 13: The Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha today attended the Global Kashmiri Pandit Conclave at Srinagar. The landmark event was attended by distinguished personalities of the Kashmiri Pandit community from India and abroad to celebrate Kashmiri Pandit Communitys journey of resilience, renaissance and return. Speaking on the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor said the Global Kashmiri Pandit Conclave celebrates the communitys patience and resilience and honours their achievements and, above all, lays the foundation for return of the community members. A moment of transformation is here. Those once uprooted from their homeland return and this homecoming is the truest victory. The presence of business leaders, corporate heads, technology entrepreneurs, and cultural icons sends a powerful message of confidence in the peace of Jammu Kashmir, and trust in the administrative stability under Honble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Journey of Kashmiri Pandit Community has been scarred by genocide, exile and struggle. World once witnessed their wounds and now the triumph. The community chose a different path. They refused to be defined by wounds and struggle. Instead, they transformed that pain into strength, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor called upon distinguished members of Kashmiri Pandit Community to set up industries, academic and cultural institutions in Jammu Kashmir that will become the immortal story of their heritage and provide opportunities to generations to come. He emphasised that the Kashmiri Pandit Community's contribution is needed across industry, education, arts and spirituality. I believe the true measure of life lies in what we give back, in the hope we inspire, and in the change we leave behind for our society and nation. That is the essence of a meaningful life and that is the real service. And it is this legacy that will continue to guide and inspire generations to come, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor also observed that the world remembers the 1990s, when the Kashmiri Pandit community faced unimaginable brutality and endured massacres and, overnight, families were forced to leave everything behind and live in exile in their own country. Lives marked by pain and struggle gave the Kashmiri Pandit community only two choices- despair or rebuilding. They chose creation, rebuilding and selfless service and in doing so, the community made history. Carrying the weight of massacre, they never turned away from their purpose. Hardship never broke the spirit of the Kashmiri Pandit community. Suffering did not silence their ambition. Instead, they shaped their own destiny by building industries, founding institutions, driving innovation, and earning respect across the world. Today, I am proud that the Kashmiri Pandit community is celebrated for reaching new heights of success. The world honours their talent, leadership, and contributions to humanity, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor stated that the Global Conclave also indicates that the time has come for the reconstruction and revival of the ancient glory of the Kashmiri Pandit community. He said the discussions at this conclave on building global industries and institutions here and a shared economic future are blueprints and pathways for cultural revival, economic empowerment, and community restoration. You turned struggle into strength, and that struggle forged community leaders who achieved excellence in technology, finance, medicine, the arts, and civil services. In that struggle your commitment produced entrepreneurs who built companies shaping global markets, and I believe it also produced scholars who enriched the academic world and influenced policy. Through your advancement the Kashmiri Pandit community reminded the world that resolve, courage, and determination are the greatest weapons. Today, as the world celebrates your accomplishments, it honours your talent, your patience, and the spirit that refused to bow, the Lieutenant Governor told the distinguished members present at the conclave. The Lieutenant Governor said the return of the Kashmiri Pandit community reflects that after 2019 a new Jammu Kashmir has been born. The strength of this new Jammu Kashmir reflects your resolve. Its hope reflects your vision. Jammu Kashmir, which witnessed the massacres, pain, and displacement of the Kashmiri Pandit community has been transformed into a centre of reconstruction by the Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. I often say that history is written by those who rise again after suffering and confronting countless challenges. Having earned global recognition, you are now returning to your roots. This dignified return is also the resolve of the Honble Prime Minister. I salute your courage. I honour your steadfastness. I appreciate your achievements, and I express the commitment that together we will ensure a future brighter than the past and that the pride of the Kashmiri Pandit community will shine again for the welfare of all humanity, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor observed that the contribution of the Kashmiri Pandit community towards building a Viksit Bharat would be significant and would play an important role in the nation's development journey. On the occasion, the participants witnessed various sessions during which distinguished speakers and prominent members of the Kashmiri Pandit community shared their experiences and insights. Among those present on the occasion were Shri Nasir Aslam Wani, Advisor to the Chief Minister; Shri Uphaar Kotru, President, Kashmiri Overseas Association (KOA); Shri Utpal Kaul, International Coordinator & Global Kashmiri Pandit Diaspora (GKPD); Shri Ashwani Bhat, President, Kashmiri Pandit Association (KPA) Mumbai; Shri Sanjay Koul, President All Minority Employees Association Kashmir (AMEAK); Shri Autar Krishan Trakroo, Social Activist and Organising Secretary, Sanjeevani Sharda Kendra; Shri Dileep Mattoo President Jammu Kashmir Vichar Manch (JKVM); Shri R.K.
