IPL Teams Will Definitely Eye Nizar For Firepower At Number Five Or Six, Says Karim
Tamil Nadu Premier League: Former India wicketkeeper-batter and selector Saba Karim said the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises are likely to consider Salman Nizar for adding firepower in the number five or six role when the much-anticipated auction happens in Abu Dhabi on December 16. The left-handed Nizar grabbed everyones attention by smashing 11 sixes off his last 13 deliveries during a Kerala Cricket League (KCL) match for Calicut Globsters. Salman Nizar's credentials are clear from how he has batted in the Kerala Cricket League. He has the power and the clarity to hit big shots. When you find a batter like him with so much promise, where do you place him? I think any IPL franchise looking for an explosive number five or number six batter will definitely consider Salman Nizar in the auction, said Karim on JioStar. Former India batter Abhinav Mukund feels left-handed wicketkeeper-batter Tushar Raheja can trigger a bidding war in the mini IPL auction. Raheja played a pivotal role in Tiruppur Tamizhans' winning the 2025 Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL), amassing 488 runs in nine matches at a strike rate of 185.55. Many think Tushar Raheja is young, but he has played in the TNPL for almost seven or eight seasons. He focuses on making big scores, and that stood out this season. He hits the ball well in the Power-play and plays spin very well. He smashed bowlers like Varun Chakaravarthy and Ravichandran Ashwin all over the ground. This is a player who earlier could not make the Tamil Nadu team. But with these performances, it will be hard to ignore him. I believe he has what it takes to succeed in the IPL. He strikes the ball well and hits big sixes. He is also a wicketkeeper, which adds to his value. It is a tough position to get into as an Indian opener, and you need extraordinary skill. But why not? We have seen players like Priyansh Arya make it big. Tushar Raheja definitely has the game, and I am sure some franchises will think about investing in him. This is a player who earlier could not make the Tamil Nadu team. But with these performances, it will be hard to ignore him. I believe he has what it takes to succeed in the IPL. He strikes the ball well and hits big sixes. He is also a wicketkeeper, which adds to his value. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I got a lot of opportunities.

Need to be taught lesson: SC refuses to entertain bail plea of Mumbai BMW hit-and-run case accused
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has refused to entertain the bail plea of Mihir Shah, the son of a former Shiv Sena leader, in the 2024 Mumbai BMW hit-and-run case, saying hese boys need to be taught a lesson. A bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and A G Masih took into account that the accused belonged to an affluent family and his father was associated with the Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led faction of the Shiv Sena. He parks his Mercedes in the shed, takes out his BMW and crashes it and goes absconding. Let him be inside for some time. These boys need to be taught a lesson, the bench observed on Friday while refusing to entertain the bail plea. Senior advocate Rebecca John, appearing for Shah, said the high court allowed him to seek bail after the testimony of key witnesses was recorded in the case. However, sensing the mood of the court, she sought permission to withdraw the plea, which was allowed. Shah (24) was arrested on July 9 last year, two days after he allegedly rammed his BMW car into a two-wheeler in Mumbai's Worli area, killing Kaveri Nakhwa (45) and leaving her husband, Pradeep Nakhwa, injured. The accused allegedly sped off towards the Bandra-Worli Sea Link after the accident, even as the woman remained on the bonnet of the car and then got entangled in its wheels for a distance of more than 1.5 kilometres. Shah's driver, Rajrishi Bidawat, who was also present in the car at the time of the accident, was arrested on the day of the alleged accident. Both are in judicial custody. Shah has challenged the November 21 order of the Bombay High Court that denied him bail in the case after noting that he was heavily inebriated and failed to stop the car even after hitting a scooter and dragging the victim under his vehicle. The high court had said in the order that the conduct of the accused at the time of the alleged offence and afterwards does not inspire confidence in the court to grant him bail. It had said that Shah had accidentally crashed into the scooter but sped away at high speed, dragging the victim underneath the car. His further actions indicate a clear intent to escape the consequences and evade arrest, the high court had noted, adding that his exchanging seats with his driver, calling his father and leaving the scene of offence indicate the predilection to tamper with evidence and/or intimidate witnesses.
Future Looks Bright For very, Very Talented India U19 Mens Ahead Of Next Years World Cup
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: With a commanding 234-run victory over UAE in their opening game of the Mens U19 Asia Cup, India have set the tone for their final build-up to next years World Cup in Zimbabwe and Namibia. The last time India played in the U19 Mens World Cup, they finished runners-up to Australia in 2024. This time, the Ayush Mhatre-led side will be keen to go one step further and get the side an unprecedented sixth title. Former India opener Wasim Jaffer, who recently worked with the current players in the India A team in the U19 Challenger Trophy and the India B side during the tri-series involving Afghanistan, has backed the team to overcome all challenges and emerge successful in their quest to glory. Obviously, they are very, very talented. There is no doubt about it. Then with Ayush Mhatre and Vaibhav Suryavanshi coming back because they were not there in the challengers and triangular series, it makes for a good look. I worked with quite a few boys like Vihaan Malhotra and they are very, very talented and have got a lot of potential. It's just about delivering and what BCCI, VVS Laxman and his team has done really well is they have kept them together for a very long time because they have been to England and Australia and played a lot of matches. That gelling now is very good among the players who know themselves very well due to playing together for a long time. So, I feel that they are ready for these challenges ahead, which is this Asia Cup and the World Cup, something which we haven't won for a while now, said Jaffer in an exclusive conversation with IANS. At the same time, Jaffer also noted that the India U19 mens batches after 2020 have failed to produce players who would go on to enter the senior team. At the end of the day, what I have noticed is that after the 2018 batch of Shubman Gill, Arshdeep Singh, Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag, and Prithvi Shaw and 2020 batch of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Dhruv Jurel and Ravi Bishnoi, there arent any under 19 players who have played for India. So, that transition hasn't happened for the last one or two batches and that is something I feel needs to happen. Somebody like Vaibhav, Ayush Mhatre, Abhigyan Kundu, Vihaan Malhotra, Harvansh Singh - there are a lot of very talented players and we want them to get to the next level. That is probably the biggest challenge now - the under 19 boys coming and performing at the highest level, something that has not happened with regards to the last one or two batches. That is the only concern that I have got as it is very important that the under 19 boys transition themselves to international cricket and to IPL also. I mean, IPL has now become such an important tournament. So, whether they get into their state teams as easily as they should be is also a question mark. But I feel that transition needs to happen. That shows the young talent is coming and challenging the senior players and that is going to be the biggest task, in my opinion, he explained. Jaffer, who won Ranji Trophy multiple times with Mumbai and Vidarbha, is among the few coaches to have worked with both Under-19 and senior teams. Asked about the difference in coaching the two levels, he said, Well, obviously, they are work in progress. So, because this is age group cricket, sometimes I feel they keep on playing with the same kind of players. They come through U14, U16 and U19, so they are literally playing with the same bunch of players and know the opposition as well. So, sometimes that creates a little bit of a comfort zone among the players. But as soon as you step out of under 19, then it's a big leap because there is no age group and you are into the men's world and the challenge lies in that regard. Sometimes the under 19 boys are used to a certain environment. But as soon as you play against the international teams, you kind of challenge yourself. Though India has historical dominance at the U19 level, it hasnt translated into trophies of late. India last won an U19 Asia Cup in 2021, and were runners-up in last years competition to two-time winners Bangladesh. Without a doubt, I feel the Indian team is a lot of steps ahead of the other international teams. We are very talented, and the challenge will be to get the exact kind of result that we need, added Jaffer. What also boosts Indias quest to win the World Cup is Mhatre coming on the back of a good showing for Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy league games, though he didnt have a memorable outing at The ICC Academy in Dubai on Friday. Suryavanshi, meanwhile, dazzled with 171 against UAE, and is coming on the back of some blistering knocks for Bihar and India A. Jaffer believes the duos exposure to senior cricket will greatly benefit the India U19 side. It is very important because Vaibhav has played for Bihar and has done well, so as Ayush Mhatre, who has played for Mumbai, played Ranji Trophy and India A games, and has done well. But the only thing is for them to not get complacent. Sometimes when you play at a higher level and then you come down, sometimes you take things a little easy, which I am sure that won't happen because they are playing quite a few matches. What also boosts Indias quest to win the World Cup is Mhatre coming on the back of a good showing for Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy league games, though he didnt have a memorable outing at The ICC Academy in Dubai on Friday. Suryavanshi, meanwhile, dazzled with 171 against UAE, and is coming on the back of some blistering knocks for Bihar and India A. Jaffer believes the duos exposure to senior cricket will greatly benefit the India U19 side. Also Read: Live Cricket Score But when you get out of that age group and play with the men, your mentality changes. You are not thinking about the age or anything else, as it's between bat and ball. So that experience, whether it's with Ayush, Vaibhav or some other players who have played Ranji Trophy or Vijay Hazare Trophy, will always help them and make this Indian team stronger, he concluded.

Messi mania grips Kolkata as Argentine legend kicks off GOAT India Tour
Thousands of football fans braved the December chill and stayed awake past midnight to welcome Argentine superstar Lionel Messi as he arrived in Kolkata early Saturday for his three-day, four-city GOAT India Tour 2025, triggering scenes of near-hysteria across the city. Messis private Gulfstream V aircraft touched down at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport at 2.26 am, setting off a frenzy among supporters who had gathered in large numbers at the international arrivals terminal. Chants of Messi, Messi, fluttering Argentina flags and flashing mobile phones turned the airport into a carnival-like scene, with fans running between gates in the hope of catching a glimpse of their idol. However, heavy security arrangements meant that the Barcelona legend was whisked out through a VIP exit and driven straight to his hotel around 3.30 am, leaving hundreds of waiting fans disappointed. Only a handful of airport staff reportedly saw Messi briefly as he stepped off the aircraft, dressed in a black suit over a white T-shirt. Messi arrived in Kolkata along with long-time strike partner Luis Surez and Argentina teammate Rodrigo De Paul. A large police convoy escorted the trio to a five-star hotel, where another crowd had gathered deep into the night. The hotel lobby echoed with chants as fans wearing sky-blue jerseys, scarves and wigs in Argentinas colours waited anxiously, some even booking rooms to stay as close to the football icon as possible. Security was tightened across the city, with barricades, police deployment at key crossings and heightened surveillance around the hotel. The entire seventh floor, where Messi checked into a suite, was sealed off. Despite the disappointment of not seeing him, emotions ran high. Children sat on shoulders, drums rolled and fans waved flags, many calling the moment a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Satadru Dutta, promoter of the GOAT India Tour who received Messi at the airport, said the visit was historic for Kolkata. He had come here in 2011 as Argentina captain. This time, hes here after winning the World Cup and his eighth Ballon dOr. This is special, a celebration, he said, adding that Messis visit could give Indian football a significant boost. Messis Kolkata itinerary includes a sponsors meet-and-greet and a tribute programme at the Salt Lake Stadium on Saturday. The event will feature music, dance and an exhibition match between Mohun Bagan Messi All Stars and Diamond Harbour Messi All Stars. He is also scheduled to interact with young footballers, felicitate Bengals Santosh Trophy-winning team and take a lap of honour. A virtual unveiling of a 70-foot statue of Messi at Lake Town is also planned. From Kolkata, Messi will fly to Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi, where he is expected to meet political leaders, corporate figures and celebrities, and finally Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday. In Hyderabad, he will feature in a short friendly penalty shootout against a team led by Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. The programme includes a 1520 minute exhibition match between Singareni RR9 and AparnaMessi All Stars, followed by penalty shootouts. Messi will also take individual penalty kicks as part of the showcase, organisers said. Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to attend the event, Telangana Congress sources said. He is expected to arrive in Hyderabad in the evening and proceed to the stadium after meeting Messi at his hotel. A short exhibition match and football clinic are planned in Hyderabad. While Mumbai will host a philanthropic fashion event and sports activities. The tour will conclude in Delhi with a felicitation ceremony and a celebrity match. Meanwhile, West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose has sought a detailed report from the state government on the arrangements for Messis Kolkata programme, following complaints from football enthusiasts over hefty ticket prices. According to Raj Bhavan sources, the governor questioned why common fans were unable to see the star and sought clarification on the role of private organisers in monetising the event. Kolkata, long known for its deep-rooted football culture, has hosted global legends from Pel and Maradona to Oliver Kahn and Diego Forln. Yet, for many in the city, Messis arrival has rekindled memories of its most passionate footballing moments even if, for some, the glimpse of the legend remained elusive.

Thiruvananthapuram Corporation to adopt Chennai-model ABC centre for stray dog management
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: With stray dog management remaining a persistent challenge in the state capital, Thiruvananthapuram corporation is planning to adopt the Greater Chennai Corporations model of an exclusive animal birth control (ABC) centre-cum-multispeciality veterinary hospital. The proposal comes amid rising concerns over public safety and growing rabies cases, with 21 confirmed infections being reported within the corporation limits between January and December this year. The civic body is now gearing up to revise its existing plan for an ABC centre and veterinary hospital at Thiruvallam by incorporating key features from the Chennai facility. According to officials, the Chennai centres stand out for their efficient design and minimal noise and environmental pollution. Chennais ABC centres are soundproof, fully covered, and scientifically designed. They also function as one-stop centres for pet emergencies and rescued animals, a senior corporation official told TNIE. We are awaiting the secretarys permission to visit the Chennai facility, likely next month. Our multispeciality hospital proposal will be updated based on the ABC centre in Chennai, the official added. Local residents have long been raising concerns about barking, foul smell, and wastewater discharge from existing ABC centres. The official added that the Chennai model effectively addresses these issues through soundproof materials and scientific waste management systems. Kerala still lacks ideal models. So it is important to study successful initiatives outside the state, the official said. The corporation has earmarked `4.5 crore for the Thiruvallam project, though officials admit that the estimated cost may rise. The Greater Chennai Corporation set up its facility at a cost of around `7 crore, with a capacity to sterilise around 30 dogs a day. Thiruvananthapuram corporation has already identified land near the existing ABC centre at Vandithadam for the proposed project. Animal crematorium on the anvil, corp seeks CSR funding In a major initiative, Thiruvananthapuram corporation has proposed establishing the citys first animal crematorium to ensure scientific disposal of animal carcasses and dead strays. The project, drawn up with the support of a Mumbai-based NGO, is expected to cost around `35 lakh. We have submitted the proposal to the district collector, seeking CSR funding. Currently, both citizens and the corporation struggle to dispose of carcasses of dead animals. At the ABC centre, we often treat sick and injured strays, and when they die, we are forced to bury them. A crematorium is an urgent requirement, the official added.
