Duleep Trophy: Abid Mushtaq's 9 For 99 Powers North Zone Past West Zone By 52 Runs
North East Zone: Jammu & Kashmir's left-arm spin-bowling allrounder Abid Mushtaq produced a match-winning performance, claiming a combined 9 for 99 as North Zone defeated Ruturaj Gaikwad-led West Zone by 52 runs in the Duleep Trophy quarter-final at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. Mushtaq was the star of the show on a red-soil pitch that took 25 wickets to spin, as North secured a thrilling victory on the final morning. At the start of the fifth day the match had been tantalizingly poised, with West Zone needing 67 runs and North three wickets. North had just 6.3 overs left to finish the job, Mushtaq and Nishant Sindhu mopping up the rest of the lower order. Mushtaq was instrumental in North's rescue act late on the fourth day and struck with the second ball of the final morning. West had been cruising at 211 for 4 after a century partnership between Musheer Khan and Gaikwad, but Mushtaq removed Tanush Kotian with a delivery that skidded low,beat the defence and crashed into middle stump. Tushar Deshpande, who has a first-class best of 123, survived 17 deliveries before charging down the track to Mushtaq on the 18th. But his undoing was the drift around the stumps as his attempted heave resulted in an edge that was taken by Abdul Samad in the slips. Three balls later, North sealed the win when Urvil Patel was trapped lbw for 25 while trying to attack Sindhus left-arm spin. If West still had a review, he could have overturned the decision. Mushtaqs effort was backed by a good spell from Arshdeep Singh, who was playing red-ball cricket for the first time in nearly a year and ended up with four wickets. Three of those came in the first innings, as he troubled West's toporder with late movement in both directions. Anshul Kamboj also played a key role in North's victory. He top-scored with 60 in the first innings, helping North recover from 161 for 7 to reach 251. Kamboj then struck with the old ball to remove Mumbai duo Shams Mulani and Kotian in quick succession, helping North secure a 64-run first-innings lead. North subsequently strengthened their position through Ayush Badoni, who registered his second consecutive half-century of the match. The victory sends North Zone into the semifinals, where they will face Tilak Varma-led South Zone in the first semifinal. North subsequently strengthened their position through Ayush Badoni, who registered his second consecutive half-century of the match.

Harshvardhan Rane has been enjoying a renewed wave of popularity following the success and continued love for Sanam Teri Kasam, while Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat further strengthened his image among audiences as a romantic leading man. However, the actor is now keen to explore a different side of his screen persona with upcoming projects such as Force 3, co-starring John Abraham, and Ram Gopal Varmas Police Company. In the latter, Harshvardhan is expected to portray Daya Nayak, the real-life cop known for his career in the Mumbai Police. Speaking to News18 about his choice of projects, the actor made it clear that he does not want to be confined to one particular genre. I dont want to be stereotyped as just a romantic hero. Im doing Force 3 and Police Company where I get to do action, he said. Harshvardhan, who has previously spoken about being a fan of Ram Gopal Varma, has also opened up about his experience of working with the filmmaker. When asked about RGVs reputation as a taskmaster, the actor said that his own experience has been quite different. I didnt feel so. Ive been shooting with him for over a week now. He has been very nice to me. So, if someone asks me if hes a taskmaster, I wont be able to relate to that word. Let me put it this way If you love geniuses, you wont consider sir a taskmaster, Harshvardan shared. The actor went on to explain why he is drawn to Ram Gopal Varmas unconventional approach to filmmaking and the creative freedom that comes with it. If youre sitting with a real artist, you arent supposed to have a structure. Youve to be okay with a free-flowing work environment. Im okay with such people. I love such people. I feel such a pull towards his creative juices. Hes someone who follows great grammar and then unfollows it immediately. I love that kind of creative pull and push. I love tension, I love undercurrents, he added. Addressing RGVs often-discussed social media presence, Harshvardhan continued, Im not on Twitter. Luckily, I havent been exposed to that side of sir even though I often hear people talk about it. All I can say is that I love what sir thinks about the grammar of filmmaking. Ill always keep that in my heart. I cant write a book on it. It cant be defined. With Force 3 also promising to be a feast for action lovers along with Police Company, Harshvardhan Rane appears ready to step away from being labelled solely as a romantic hero and explore more action-driven characters.

The Needle That Never Deserved the Blame
As she lay on the operating table, her hands trembled more from fear than from pain. Im not afraid of the surgery, doctor, she whispered. Im afraid of the injection in my back. My neighbour says she has suffered from back pain ever since her caesarean section. It is a conversation anaesthesiologists hear almost every day. A few minutes later, spinal anaesthesia was administered. Soon, the operating room echoed with the unmistakable cry of a newborn. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she heard the sound every parent longs for. The surgery was uneventful, her recovery smooth, and within days she returned home with her baby in her arms. Months later, she began experiencing occasional backache. She attributed it to the spinal injection. Yet her days were now filled with lifting an ever-growing infant, bending over the crib, carrying the baby for hours, breastfeeding in awkward postures, and coping with sleep deprivation. Like many mothers, every ache reminded her of - not pregnancy, not childcare, not altered biomechanics but the tiny needle that had been inserted into her back. The spinal anaesthesia had become the silent culprit. But was it really? Medicine often battles myths that persist despite overwhelming scientific evidence. Among the most common is the belief that spinal anaesthesia for a caesarean section causes chronic or lifelong back pain. The evidence tells a different story. Pregnancy places extraordinary mechanical and physiological demands on the spine. As the uterus enlarges, the bodys centre of gravity shifts forward, increasing lumbar lordosis and altering spinal loading. Pregnancy hormones such as relaxin and progesterone increase ligamentous laxity, reducing joint stability while preparing the pelvis for childbirth. In addition, the abdominal wall stretches and core muscle strength diminishes, reducing spinal support. These changes, coupled with postpartum childcare, prolonged feeding positions, repetitive lifting, and sleep deprivation, make low back pain extremely common during pregnancy and in the months after delivery. Studies estimate that 5070% of women experience low back or pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy, and a substantial proportion continue to have symptoms for several months postpartum, irrespective of the mode of delivery. Large prospective studies and systematic reviews have consistently demonstrated that spinal anaesthesia is not associated with an increased risk of chronic back pain when compared with women who receive general anaesthesia or no neuraxial anaesthesia. While a small number of patients may experience mild tenderness or soreness at the injection site for a day or two due to needle insertion through the skin and ligaments, there is no convincing evidence that an uncomplicated spinal anaesthetic causes persistent structural damage leading to chronic back pain. So why does the myth endure? Part of the answer lies in human psychology. When two events occur close together, we naturally assume one caused the other. Since the injection is administered in the back, any subsequent episode of back pain is often attributed to it, even though the underlying cause is more likely to be the normal musculoskeletal consequences of pregnancy and the physical demands of caring for a newborn. Ironically, this misconception sometimes discourages women from choosing one of the safest and most effective anaesthetic techniques available for caesarean delivery. For most women, spinal anaesthesia is the preferred technique because it allows the mother to remain awake during the birth of her child, provides rapid and reliable surgical anaesthesia with excellent postoperative pain control, reduces airway-related risks associated with general anaesthesia, and facilitates immediate skin-to-skin contact and early bonding with the newborn. Every successful spinal anaesthesia tells a story of safety. It is the story of a mother hearing her babys first cry instead of waking up after the birth. It is the story of modern anaesthesia making childbirth safer for both mother and baby. Perhaps it is time to rewrite another story as well. The next time someone says, My spinal anaesthesia gave me lifelong back pain, we should respond with empathy, careful evaluation, and scientific evidence. Back pain deserves to be taken seriously but it also deserves an accurate diagnosis. The real story was never about the needle. It was always about a mothers remarkable journey and our responsibility, as doctors to ensure that fear is replaced with facts.
