2nd T20I: Could Easily Have Been 2-0 Up, Rues NZ Skipper Santner After India's Heist At Hagley Oval

Nitish Kumar Reddy: New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner said his side could easily have been 2-0 up in the five-match T20I series had they held their catches, after India pulled off a dramatic late heist to win the second game at Hagley Oval here on Saturday. India chased down 181 with a ball to spare and won by four wickets, with Tilak Varma (51 not out) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (26 not out) adding 69 runs in the unbroken partnership for the seventh wicket after the visitors had slumped to 70/5. Santner, who returned impressive figures of 4-21, said the margins between the two sides had been razor-thin across both games, with dropped catches and misfields proving decisive. It's a tough catching ground, and the wind kind of swells a little bit. I think if you look at the skills of both teams, it's been very close, and it's come down to some small moments in the field, especially us kind of at the back end of that chase tonight. I think we're in a very good position. A couple of drop catches, misfields, and it's that difference between winning and losing in the game. So I think it, from a skills perspective, has been playing some very good cricket; it's just some small moments where if you seize those moments, we could have easily been, I guess, 2-0 up as what India are again, Santner said in the post-match press conference. The left-arm spinner felt 180 was a competitive total on a surface that behaved differently from the one dished out for the series opener. I think it was a little bit different. I think there was a bit more tennis ball bounce. I think probably 180 was still a pretty good score. But we knew we had to take wickets at the start, and we managed to do that and squeeze through the middle, which was nice. I think we obviously lost the game due to a couple of good partnerships by India in the end. Santner was full of praise for Bevon Jacobs (58) and Glenn Phillips (70), whose 116-run partnership rescued New Zealand after they lost three early wickets in the power-play. I think it was a very good partnership in the context of the game. Three down reasonably early and they gave themselves a chance to reassess the conditions, and it's one of those wickets where it was probably tough to start. But once you're in, you gave yourself a chance and could cash in a little bit later on, and that's what they did and got us up to a pretty good score. So, BJ is just going to keep getting better and better with more opportunities, and we've seen Glenn do that for a long time and take more responsibility at four, and he's shown that he's a pretty good number four batter. On his own four-wicket haul, Santner said the tacky surface offered him more grip than in the first game. Don't get four for that often. So with the wicket, we talked about it being a little bit tacky, and the late nature of the games, there was a little bit of hold, which was nice. So I feel like you could mix it up a bit more, and be a little bit more aggressive, whereas the other night it was skidding on and felt like you were just trying to get out of the overall. So it was nice. I think (Michael) Bracewell's been bowling very well in the powerplay, and then the way he's been operating through the middle, and we've been after squeeze for a little bit of pressure. So I guess the size of the ground helps as well, and a couple of them were caught on the fence today; it's probably six at some other ground, so we have to wait and see. Santner, who has played alongside Tilak at Mumbai Indians, lauded India's finishers in him, Reddy and Naman Dhir, who hit a 17-ball 31. I think when he (Varma) first started, he was batting at three and it's a slightly different role, so the middle order role was very dependent on how you operate in the middle and then the death phase. I guess I've seen it for a couple of years now in Mumbai - he's very good. Same with Naman Dhir - I think the way he's come in, and just they look so free from the start. I think Tilak took his time a little bit today, but managed the chase very well with Reddy at the end. So I think, if you can finish off games as a finisher, you're doing a pretty good job. So I think it was a great knock from those last three, especially tonight. The skipper expected dew to remain a factor in the toss throughout the series, with the chasing side winning both games so far. I think there was less dew tonight than there was in the first game because the wind was up a little bit. But I think it's gonna be a factor throughout the series. I guess with it being so late - we usually start at seven o'clock- so by the second half, the ball seems to skid a little bit better. So it's definitely a factor at the toss. I think both teams looked at it to bowl first. I guess two chases; even though tonight was a tight chase, it's still two wins for the chasing team. New Zealand also have fitness concerns, with pacers Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson both leaving the field during the match. Matt experienced a tight calf. So we didn't want to risk it with the amount of cricket we've got coming up as well. I think Lockie went off as well. So just a couple of precautionary injuries; we'll see how they pull up tomorrow morning. I think with the quick turnaround of this series going to the one-dayers and into the Test as well, we don't want to risk too much, but hope that they pull up fine because both are good bowlers, added Santner. Looking ahead to the third T20I in Wellington on Tuesday, Santner said his side would not dwell on the errors. Again, we'll reflect on tonight. There was a lot of good stuff again, as there was in the first game, and there's, I guess, some small stuff that's kinda - I wouldn't say it let us down, but it can change games quickly. So I guess no balls always hurt you, drop catches always hurt you, and probably the same on both sides. Hagley can be a very tough catching ground. We're going to Wellington, where the wind swirls a lot as well, so it can be another tough catching ground. But I think it's about not dwelling on that too much. The skills are good; the plans were good tonight. Looking ahead to the third T20I in Wellington on Tuesday, Santner said his side would not dwell on the errors. Again, we'll reflect on tonight. There was a lot of good stuff again, as there was in the first game, and there's, I guess, some small stuff that's kinda - I wouldn't say it let us down, but it can change games quickly.

Searching for Rs 500 crores too: Shrikant Shinde reacts to audio clip row

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 24 (IANS) Amid the rating controversy over the Rs 500-crore audio clip recently brought to light by Maratha reservation activist Manoj Jarange Patil, Shiv Sena MP and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's son Shrikant Shinde broke his silence on Saturday, saying that he is also looking for the amount claimed in the purported audio clip. He said that the person to whom these Rs 500 crores were supposed to be sent hasn't reached him. The question that has crossed Manoj Jarange Patil's mind has also crossed mine, and I am now out searching for it, he said. In a sarcastic tone, he added, We were discussing how Rs 500 crore in cash would look together and how many vehicles would be required to transport it. Shrikant Shinde's reaction is important as the audio clip mentioned a transaction of Rs 500 crore, with allegations that this money was delivered to Jarange Patil through the former. Shrikant Shinde clarified that the issue now falls under the purview of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and everything will come to light at the appropriate time. Just as Jarange Patil is investigating the issue, he mentioned that he is also looking into the matter himself. If you find out, you tell me; if I find out, I will tell you, he remarked. Amidst all these developments, Jarange Patil has warned that he possesses more uclear bombs. CM Fadnavis has already ordered a forensic probe, while BJP and Shiv Sena have demanded an impartial probe. Earlier, Senior Congress leader and former Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan claimed that there is a deep-seated conspiracy to finish off the leadership of both Manoj Jarange-Patil and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. He also demanded a technical and forensic analysis of the audio clip. Further, the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Chandrakant Khaire has levelled serious accusations against the BJP and the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena faction. He asked, Who made Manoj Jarange Patil big, and why are they now trying to sideline him? Khaire asserted that Jarange Patil fought to secure justice and rights for the Maratha community, which is why the community stood firmly behind him. However, he claimed that leaders have become worried about their own political future due to Jarange Patil's growing influence. Khaire demanded that the controversial audio clip be sent for forensic testing and the truth be brought before the public. He made a strong case for an impartial inquiry. Khaire also raised questions regarding the alleged Rs 500-crore transaction. He demanded an inquiry into Shrikant Shinde if his name is being linked to this financial transaction. He further claimed that this entire episode has the blessings of the BJP, the Shinde-led Shiv Sena, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

Naseeruddin Shah backs SRFTI students protest: BJP trying to frighten future filmmakers

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 24 (IANS) Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah extended his support to students of the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute who are currently staging an indefinite sit-in after a violent incident on campus recently. Naseeruddin claimed that the BJP wishes to take revenge on all who do not subscribe to its beliefs and policies, and SRFTI students are the latest targets. On Saturday, the veteran actor dropped a video on his official handle saying, Namaskar, adab, Im Naseeruddin Shah. The BJP, the bloody jhooti party, after its manipulative victory in the Bengal elections, now seems all out for revenge on anyone who does not subscribe to their beliefs and their policies. The latest victims of this vendetta are the students, the aspiring filmmakers of the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute. In return for their demand for accountability from the administration, they have been served show cause notices, put under surveillance, threatened and now have even been asked to vacate the hostels. Naseeruddin added that BJP wants not just to back and encourage the shameless propaganda in its favour, and it is now hoping either to brainwash or frighten the future filmmakers of this country. I can promise you that is not going to happen. These are the young people who in the future will tell us the truth about themselves and about our country and about the state we are in, he assured. I urge all right-minded citizens to support the demands of the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute students, the actor said before ending the clip. For the unversed, SRFTI students have been staging an indefinite sit-in outside Vice-Chancellor Santosh Ajmeras office since October 12, demanding his resignation. Students and members of the Akhil Bharatiya Grahak Panchayat (ABGP), an RSS-affiliated consumer awareness group, got into a clash during a programme on September 27.

Robin, Simmons, Jayawardene, And Ponting Have Influenced Me As Coaches, Says Pollard

New Mumbai Indians: New Mumbai Indians head coach Kieron Pollard named Robin Singh, Phil Simmons, Mahela Jayawardene and Ricky Ponting as the coaches who have influenced him the most, and credited them for showcasing qualities which have left a mark on him. Pollard spent the last four IPL seasons as MI's batting coach, after having retired as a player from the league ahead of the 2023 edition, and has now been elevated to the top job. He takes charge of MI ahead of IPL 2027 after Jayawardene, under whom he worked for a decade, parted ways with the franchise last week. Ponting, his former MI captain, will now be his rival head coach at Punjab Kings. One coach I've taken a lot from is Robin Singh. I came in 2010, and he was a coach at that time. And the amount of work, the work ethic, part of it, was next to none. He didn't know when to stop, right! But it was something that I'll never forget because the work that he would have put in, would have given me the opportunity to go out and perform. Then you look at somebody like a Phil Simmons outside of the IPL zone; the calmness that he brings and it gives you the opportunity to express yourself as a person and as a cricketer. Use your instinctive abilities to make decisions as a leader and as a cricketer, and then we come and we speak about it after, and try to dissect certain things as to why it would have happened that way. So those are the couple of people, and then obviously I spoke about Mahela, the tactical genius of what he brought; it's next to none, and that sometimes is taken for granted. Things that people would not think about, set fields and that that was, from a fantastic perspective. And again, one of my rivals would now be my rival coach. You will walk into a wall for somebody like Ricky Ponting, the way he motivates you, but when he's finished with you in that perspective, not even a wall can stop you at that time, said Pollard in a video on the franchises social media accounts on Saturday. MI was the only IPL team Pollard played for in the IPL. Signed ahead of the 2010 season, he turned out for them in 189 matches till 2022, scoring 3412 runs and taking 69 wickets. Pollard was part of all five of the franchise's IPL title triumphs in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020, respectively. He also won the Champions League T20 titles with MI in 2011 and 2013. Pollard now inherits a side that has lost some of its old dominance. MI reached the playoffs in 2023 and 2025 but finished 10th in 2024 and ninth in 2026. His ties with the MI network extend well beyond the IPL. Pollard is head coach of MI London in The Hundred and has played for MI New York in Major League Cricket, MI Cape Town in the SA20 and MI Emirates in the ILT20. Still active on the franchise circuit, Pollard will, however, turn out for Joburg Super Kings in the upcoming SA20 season after they signed him at the auction earlier this month, with MI Cape Town making no rival bid. In the Caribbean Premier League, where MI do not own a team, Pollard has represented his home side Trinbago Knight Riders since 2019. Reflecting on how T20 cricket has changed over the years, Pollard said bowlers would have to work much harder to keep up with the batters. It has changed a lot. It's gone from 140 and 160 being competitive to trying to not get 120 in the power play. So that in itself, should tell you how that landscape has changed. Yes, it has gotten more on the on the batter side, but it's all good. I think one thing in life is change, and being able to adapt to change, and for us as a team and for myself as an individual, that's the challenge. It's never going to be the same, but being able to catch up with the evolution of where T20 cricket is going, or come up with methods where you can, as I say, slow the batsmen down. That means the bowlers will have to work doubly, doubly hard in order for that to happen. But again, the game is going fast, but we still have an opportunity as individuals to bring it back to a level and control what we can at different times. On the growing role of analytics, something which will dictate MIs retention choices ahead of the mid-November deadline and help them prepare for the mini auction in Goa on December 16, Pollard admitted to spending far more time with the team analyst as a coach than as a player but pointed out that data could not replace a cricketer's instinct. I think it's going to be a fight, but no, I think data is important. When you look at it from this perspective, for the last four years, I've seen a different part of data. Whereas when I was playing, and I can safely tell you, the analyst, I spent more time with him in the last four years than I spent with him in about 13 years of playing. But getting to understand what the data brings helps you as an individual and helps prepare you as well. But I still believe the natural instinct of the cricketers still needs to be taken into account. So there just needs to be the balance as to how much data and the human part of cricket that is still there because we are still humans playing. It's not a robotic game. And when you put in a length, that's exactly what is there. Different variations have happened from the time the ball is delivered before it gets to the batter, he added. Pollard also felt players had become too guarded in showing their personalities, partly because of the game's disciplinary rules, and wanted MI's players to express themselves freely. I think that's very important, and that's something that has been leaving the game and is not true. Sometimes a lot of the guys wanted to show their personality and be free, but through the rules and regulations of the demerit points and all of these things, I think at times we have gotten a bit robotic in that sense. Pollard also felt players had become too guarded in showing their personalities, partly because of the game's disciplinary rules, and wanted MI's players to express themselves freely.

Mumbai Indians Haven't Been As Great As Fans Want, First Step Is Acknowledging It, Says Pollard

Champions League T20: Newly appointed Mumbai Indians head coach Kieron Pollard admitted that the five-time IPL champions had fallen short of their fans expectations in recent seasons, and said the road back to being a fearsome unit begins with owning up to it. Pollard, who served as the team's batting coach in the last four IPL seasons, takes over from Mahela Jayawardene, who parted ways with the franchise last weekend. The former West Indies all-rounder's association with MI and its sister franchises goes back to IPL 2010, when he was first signed as a player. The big-hitting Pollard was part of all five of MI's IPL title-winning campaigns, in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020, as well as their two Champions League T20 triumphs in 2011 and 2013. You understand as a team that we have not been as great as you want us to be, and that's something the first step to getting better is acknowledging. We acknowledge that you are still the most loyal fans to us, the Paltan crew, and hopefully we can continue to show that passion that you have seen over the years, and we can relive some of those memories with some of the new generation cricketers. We look forward to playing with the badge. We look forward to having that fire in our belly, and hopefully see a fearless Mumbai Indians once again, Pollard said in a video posted on the franchises social media accounts on Saturday. Pollard played 189 IPL matches, scoring 3412 runs at a strike rate of 147.32 and picking up 69 wickets. He played his last IPL season in 2022 and retired from the league ahead of the 2023 edition, and moved straight into the role of batting coach. Outlining his priorities, Pollard said the first job was to understand what needed fixing and to restore the team's identity at its home ground, adding that there was no hiding from the recent slump. After the IPL 2020 triumph in the UAE, MI havent won a title. Though they made it to the playoffs in 2023 and 2025, the side finished tenth and ninth respectively in 2024 and 2026 seasons. When you say the first task, I think my first task is understanding what needs to be done. Then when you get into that, bring that spirit and that energy to talk about that. When you walk into Wankhede Stadium, you're not seeing the yellows and the reds and stuff like that. You want to see that blue flag flying and you want to see that passion and spirit from the fans and that can only come firstly from us. So that's where all work sort of starts in terms of understanding what we are playing for and who we are playing for. We recognize the fact that we have not been where we wanted to be in the last couple of years. So there's no hiding from that. But what's going to happen is that we're going to try our best now to ensure that we continue to play for that badge, the team above self, and then ensure that when the opposition comes, it's something that they remembered from the past. Yes, it's history, but sometimes in order to go forward, you have to go back a little bit and understand. I think that's where it's going to start, he added. Pollard said the scale of the move to the top job was still sinking in his mind. I don't feel that it has sunk in sort of just yet. But obviously we have and you have mentioned it in terms of what we have created as a team and now being at the helm. I think it's a surreal sort of feeling when you started, you never envisioned being on the other side of the rope at that time. But time has flown by so quickly that a lot of things have happened within the last 15-16 years. Now you sit in this position, wanting to do well for a franchise that has given you so much and you have given so much to them and to the people. Known for his fiery presence on the field, Pollard said his hunger to win would remain the same in the dugout. I don't think much can change. I think it's more embedded in you to want to win all the time and to invoke that sort of passion each and every single time. For me as an individual, nothing is going to change that much. The fire is going to be burning just as it was on the other side of the rope, but it's just going to be from a further distance, in a way. Pollard, also the head coach of MI London in the The Hundred mens competition, credited his predecessor Jayawardene for shaping his understanding of the game - first as an opponent, then as a player under his coaching and later as his assistant in the support staff. Those 10 years with Mahela had been fantastic. From Mahela's perspective, obviously, our first sort of meeting would have been as a player and as an opponent. Me being a youngster in the international scene and him playing for Sri Lanka, and captaining Sri Lanka. What stood out for me immediately from then was how precise he was from a tactical perspective in that sense. Then having to experience him as a coach, playing under him, I think was even more fantastic for me, understanding the individual and what he brings to the game of cricket. Being able to push his players in different ways because of detail he was in terms of planning. Those 10 years with Mahela had been fantastic. From Mahela's perspective, obviously, our first sort of meeting would have been as a player and as an opponent. Me being a youngster in the international scene and him playing for Sri Lanka, and captaining Sri Lanka. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS
