Maharashtra Selection Is One Dream; Many More Still Left, Says ISPL Sensation Vivek Shelar
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Having been called into Maharashtra's squad for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2026, fast-bowler Vivek Shelar calls the state selection a major stepping stone towards achieving his cricketing dreams. The Bhiwandi native, Shelar, starred in Season 3 of the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) with nine wickets, including two hat-tricks that made heads turn. Although his team, Tiigers of Kolkata, fell short on the final hurdle to Chennai Singams, Shelar's achievements helped the 26-year-old earn a call into Maharashtra's squad for the SMAT, which gets underway on Saturday. Speaking to IANS, Shelar said the state selection is the completion of one dream, and he is hungry for more. As a sportsman, it is a very big achievement for me, Shelar told IANS. Because playing for a state is everyone's dream. So now my dream is being fulfilled. I mean, there are still a lot of dreams left. So I am feeling good, he added. He clocked a 145.2kph delivery in the ISPL, which brought him into the limelight. He opened up on how the league played a role in bringing him into the spotlight. ISPL was very important. Because of ISPL, I came into focus. When I bowled the fastest ball in ISPL, I came into the limelight. So ISPL was very important for me, he said. The ISPL is a tennis ball tournament, while Indian domestic cricket and international cricket are a different ball game altogether, with a proper season ball being used. Shelar stated that the major difference he saw in the transition from the tennis ball to the red ball was mostly mental, before detailing how he started preparing for both balls. Both have different preparations, but the mentality matters. Both games are different, but mentality is what matters. So I practise with both tennis and leather ball. So I have that mentality now. So it's a little easier for me. I had a problem in the beginning (with leather ball) when I started in 2020-21 with the leather ball. I had a problem in the first year, but now it has become a habit. So I don't have any problems now. His cricketing journey began in 2016 with the ISPL from his village before he earned a selection for Tiigers of Kolkata in the ISPL, which he believed changed things for him. I started playing cricket in 2016. I started from the village itself, with the tennis ball. I used to play well with the tennis ball. When I played for the first time in the ISPL last season, I was in Tiigers of Kolkata. So everything changed there. I got everything there. I bowled well. In the first match, I bowled the fastest ball. From there, I started getting messages. Everyone was sending me messages, he added. Shelar also opened up about a challenging period when he was down with a hamstring injury right after the second match of the tournament. Shelar, who is supported by Aspect Sports, credited Aksha Kamboj, the Chairperson of Aspect Global and owner of Tiigers of Kolkata, for helping him during this time. Aksha ma'am supported me. When I got injured, I went to the hospital on the second day. (It was) From Surat to Mumbai. I recovered within eight days. Then I went back and took two hat-tricks in the ISPL after that injury. I credit her and Tiigers of Kolkata; because of them, I got to play the tournament again. I had some doubt (mentally after hamstring) while playing the first match after returning from injury. But for the team, you have to keep your thoughts aside. You have to keep the team first. It happened automatically, Shelar added. His immediate focus lies in performing for Maharashtra and then has an eye on an IPL contract. I will focus on this tournament first. After this, I have an IPL goal. Let's see what happens next, he added. Shelar also called India icon Rohit Sharma and South Africa great Dale Steyn his idols, before revealing what he likes most about the former Proteas speedster. Rohit Sharma and Dale Steyn are my idols. (I like Steyn's) Aggression, speed, swing and everything. He has everything, Shelar added. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Cost of distance: UP's Gorakhpur brings childhood cancer care closer to home
Digital Desk | Gorakhpur, Nov 13 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's Gorakhpur constituency is emerging as a model for decentralised childhood cancer care with the state government, along with other stakeholders, strengthening regional treatment hubs, shared-care networks and financial protection. A recent Indian study has highlighted the children are forced to travel long distances to reach specialised treatment centres, suggesting better paediatric oncology services beyond metros. Published in the Journal of Cancer Policy in September 2026, the study 'Motorised travel time to access childhood cancer care in India: A multi-centre geospatial analysis', examined 22,328 children receiving treatment at three major cancer centres in Delhi and Chennai. It found a median estimated travel time of 161 minutes, with nearly three-quarters of children travelling more than an hour to reach treatment. At Baba Raghav Das (BRD) Medical College in Gorakhpur, the development of a dedicated paediatric oncology service -- equipped for cancer treatment, including chemotherapy, medicines and patient-family support -- is demonstrating how government medical colleges can become stronger regional treatment hubs, a government official said. Doctor Kuldeep Singh, Assistant Professor of Paediatrics, said that the centre has attended to more than 100 childhood cancer patients since 2023. The 30-bed paediatric oncology ward is also serving families from neighbouring districts, Bihar and Nepal. As India marks Children's Day on November 14, the findings of the travel-time study serve as a reminder that the location of treatment services can impact a child's journey through cancer, he added. The strengthening of services at BRD Medical College builds on Project Suddridh, a paediatric oncology capacity-building initiative launched in the Gorakhpur region in 2022, and the May 2023 Memorandum of Understanding between national society CanKids and the Uttar Pradesh government's National Health Mission. For children in North Purvanchal, it means that better care can be provided within the region rather than requiring repeated journeys to Delhi, Mumbai or other distant cities. Uttar Pradesh, with an estimated 14,700 new childhood cancer cases annually among children and adolescents aged 019, is a priority state for policy makers for demonstrating an integrated approach to childhood cancer control, an official said, pointing to a model organised around four proposed Childhood Cancer District Divisions (CCDDs). The approach seeks to strengthen designated government medical colleges and tertiary hospitals as regional treatment hubs, while connecting them to district hospitals, other healthcare facilities and community health services through a structured hub-and-spoke network. For families affected by childhood cancer, long-distance treatment involves much more than travel expenses. Accommodation, food, lost wages, disrupted schooling and separation from family support systems can place an enormous burden on households. In 2016, Shaila and Pramod Giri travelled from Gorakhpur to AIIMS, Delhi, after their daughter Anshika was diagnosed with blood cancer. They made more than 20 trips and faced significant livelihood disruption. Anshika completed treatment. Today her parents work as a care coordinators in Gorakhpur, helping children with cancer and their families. In another case, Sanskriti and her family travelled from Siwan in Bihar to AIIMS, Delhi, for their daughter's surgery. With patient support and care coordination, her subsequent chemotherapy could be provided at BRD Medical College, allowing her father to return to work while treatment continued closer to home. Such examples demonstrate the importance of coordinated referrals and shared-care arrangements between specialist institutions and regional hospitals. Poonam Bagai, ICMR Central Ethics Committee on Human Research Member, Cankids founder and Childhood Cancer International's WHO South East Asia Region Representative, said, Uttar Pradesh is our demonstration model for how this can be achieved through sustained partnership with government and all concerned stakeholders. BRD Medical College in North Purvanchal shows what is possible, and we want to build on this experience across the state. The approach is not limited to Uttar Pradesh as we are working with other state governments as well, she added. Bagai emphasised that improving geographic access alone is insufficient. Bringing treatment closer to home must go hand in hand with financial protection, she said. India's 2030 goals are 100 per cent access to care, 100 per cent financial protection and at least 60 per cent survival, aligned with the UNGA80 call, the WHO Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer and Universal Health Coverage. The Uttar Pradesh demonstration model also envisages improved mapping of treatment facilities, patient registration, referral tracking, financial protection monitoring and outcome measurement to guide further expansion, she said.

Surya, Bhuvi, Shami And Other Top Stars In Action As SMAT 2026 Sets To Get Underway (Preview)
The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Several top Indian stars will be in action in the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, which gets underway from Saturday with 38 teams in action across the Elite and Plate divisions in India's domestic premier T20 tournament. Eyes will turn to the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, among others, as the players set out for their goals in their separate points of their careers. Indian Premier League (IPL) team owners and the national selectors will have their eyes on the tournament as the IPL retention deadline ahead of the December auction is November 17. Only two rounds of matches will have taken place by then, which will make the players leave strong impressions in their opening games of the season. India will also pick their squads for the Sri Lanka T20I series, which begins on December 22, as players will have a chance to earn recalls in the Indian team. SKY has been named Mumbai's captain for the season, and he will look to have strong outings as he is eyeing a return to the Indian team after being left out despite having led the side to the 2026 T20 title. He was also out of form in the IPL 2026, and although there is no threat to his place in the Mumbai Indians, SKY will want to have runs on his back as soon as possible. Then there will be Bhuvneshwar, who had an underwhelming return to international cricket after nearly four years. However, he picked only one wicket across the four innings he played in New Zealand. A good SMAT would be important for him to be in the squad for the Sri Lanka series. Shami will also be in the spotlight after retiring from Test cricket recently. He still has an India return in his heart and might want to play the ODI World Cup 2027. The speedster would be looking to find a way back through. Eyes will also remain on 15-year-old Sooryavanshi, who is on the other side of his career in comparison to the above-mentioned greats. The teenage sensation has been a revelation in the IPL and for India, and has been named captain of Bihar for the first two games in the SMAT, as he will later join the India A squad for the Mens Rising Stars Asia Cup, a 50-over tournament that gets underway from November 19. Sanju Samson, Varun Chakravarthy, Rajat Patidar, Prithvi Shaw, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur and Yash Dayal are among other notable names set to play in the competition, which will last 23 days, with the final on December 6. While Elite and Plate competitions begin on Saturday, the Plate final will be held on November 24 and the Elite one on December 6. When and where to watch SMAT 2026? The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2026 will be available on the JioHotstar app and website for live streaming, while select matches will also be telecast on Star Sports.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Benchmark equity indices ended a three-day winning run on Friday as selling pressure in banking, financial, realty, and metal stocks overshadowed recent gains. Investors remained cautious amid renewed concerns about price pressures impacting various sectors. The Sensex dropped 318.56 points, or 0.39 per cent, to close at 81,592.45. Meanwhile, the Nifty lost 155.05 points, or 0.61 per cent, to settle at 25,144.30. Among the Nifty constituents, Shriram Finance, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV), and Grasim Industries emerged as the top laggards for the session. Broader market indices also faced declines, with the Nifty MidCap 100 and Nifty SmallCap 100 falling 0.24 per cent and 0.26 per cent, respectively. Sectorally, Nifty Realty, Nifty Auto, and Nifty Cement posted the largest declines, while Nifty Media was the most resilient, recording the least loss among major indices. Experts said that the rate hike fear set to test market rally, as rising inflation concerns and the possibility of further monetary tightening weighed on investor sentiment. Domestic inflation breaching the RB's upper tolerance limit has reinforced expectations of a prolonged restrictive interest-rate environment, analysts stated. Going forward, the trajectory of crude prices, currency stability and foreign investor flows will be critical in determining whether this correction remains a near-term consolidation or develops into a deeper earnings-led adjustment, it added. Meanwhile, experts said that for the rupee, that inflation print is double-edged: it signals cost pressure, but a December hike would also widen Indias already sizeable rate advantage over the US and support the currencys carry appeal. Strong foreign inflows, over INR 7,800 crore on Thursday, remain a genuine cushion. The near-term swing factor is oil: if Brent climbs back, the rupees recovery stalls; if it resumes falling, 94 holds, market experts stated. We believe this phase calls for greater selectivity rather than a broad-based defensive approach. Banking, capital goods and consumption-oriented stocks will need to demonstrate earnings resilience to attract fresh buying, experts added.
BB 20: Pavitra Punia calls Scout - Loves brother-sister equation cheap' after former shaves head
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Actress Pavitra Punia has reacted strongly to the equation between Bigg Boss contestants Scout and Love, questioning their portrayal of their relationship as that of a brother and sister. Pavitra's comments came after Scout shaved his head following Love allegedly giving him the silent treatment inside the Bigg Boss house. Reacting to the developments, Pavitra shared a video in which she spoke about sibling relationships and expressed her displeasure over what she described as the contestants' cheap content. I don't know how many of you know the relationship of brother and sister, but if I do something, my brother will definitely make me bald, Pavitra said. Although I don't make videos on Bigg Boss, but it was necessary for my videos to come today because whatever is happening, that's bullshit. Bullshit. Drawing from her own relationship with her brother, Pavitra said sibling relationships often involve fights, teasing and physical pranks. We have heard of such relationships from childhood to adulthood. In which siblings beat each other, punch each other. My brother used to personally shoot arrows at me, hit me on my feet, and throw crackers at me. Recalling a Diwali incident, she said, Now on Diwali, my brother burst a cracker on my feet. My feet are burnt. He has burnt his fingers too. What is this? This is actually the brother and sister relationship, she said, adding that siblings can also be blunt with each other. If my brother says something to me or doesn't talk to me, I tell him to leave. I mean this is how we talk to our brothers and sisters. Pavitra then turned her attention to Scout and Love and questioned their equation inside the reality show. But in Bigg Boss, oh my god, this boy called Scout and that girl called Love Gill. These people have started a cheap chapter inside. My brother actually watches Bigg Boss. She said she herself had never watched her season of the show and questioned what she described as the unusual equation between the contestants. I don't watch Bigg Boss, I haven't seen my season till date. But what is this? This is not the relationship between brother and sister. Pavitra also spoke about her upbringing, saying: And I belong to a very orthodox family. Let me tell you, I am a girl from UP. And we have seen the relationship of brother and sister. And I travel the whole world where I have not seen the relationship of brother and sister. She went on to question relationships in which people allegedly use the brother-sister label to explain their closeness. Maybe those who behave in this way about the relationship of brother and sister. They do something else but cover it up by saying that this is my brother, this is my sister. Pavitra recalled hearing similar explanations during childhood, saying, When we were small, we used to hear it from someone's mouth in the school, in the neighborhood. That someone likes someone, someone has an affair with someone. But he comes home and says that he is my sister, he is my brother. We are not kids anymore. Referring specifically to Scout and Love, she said: If you are in Bigg Boss, and I am talking about Scout and Love. If all these things are happening in Bigg Boss. This is happening because you are giving very cheap content. Cheap. It's the height of cheapness. It seems so stupid and ridiculous. That you have actually raised a question on the relationship of brother and sister. That you have made that relationship so dirty. She also urged the makers of Bigg Boss to intervene. Please go out and make this relationship work. And I really request Bigg Boss also that please don't allow it. Our Bigg Boss team is super smart. I know those people personally. And I am sure somewhere they are also in shock. What is this? What are they doing? She again called the situation highly bullshit before comparing the equation with her own understanding of sibling relationships. Because it's highly bullshit. Brother and sister relationships are not like this. My brother will never be bald for me. My brother will make me bald instead. And you people will agree that a brother and sister relationship is like this. It is like this. What is this boy doing? I don't understand. Pavitra also referred to Kashvi, who has exited the show, saying: And I feel good for that girl who got out of this mess. I personally don't know her. And I am sorry that I am even taking her name. Addressing Scout directly, she said, What are you doing bro? Stop doing that bullshit in the house. Don't do that. There is a lot going on in Bigg Boss. There is a lot going on. But you are making a mess. And we are people who have brothers and sisters. We are not proud of you bro. Like super cheap. Cheap. Do not call this relationship a brother and sister relationship. This is pure. It is pure love. It is not a brother and sister relationship. It is pure love. Bullshit.
