It Was Like We Were Superstars - Sudha Shah Recalls Indias First Womens Test Match
Indian Cricketers Association: Sudha Shah was part of the Indian side that played the countrys first womens Test match against the West Indies in Bangalore on October 31, 1976. On its 50th anniversary, which was also Indias first international cricket game, Sudha recalled the crowd followed the team later in the series, especially in Patna, as it made the players feel like we were superstars. In Patna, the thing I remember most about the Test we won is the crowd. Every day, there was a crowd of nearly 20,000 to 30,000. After we won, they lined up on either side of the road, and when our bus went to where we were staying, it was like we were superstars. We had never even dreamt of experiencing something like that, Sudha was quoted as saying by bcci.tv on Saturday. The celebrations in the dressing room got a little out of hand, added Sudha. We had to wave to the crowd from the balcony because they just werent leaving. All of us were screaming and jumping around, and Sharmila Chakraborty broke the basin in the dressing room bathroom! We just couldnt believe that we had won a Test match. That series was the start of a 15-year international career for Sudha, who played 21 official Tests, scoring 601 runs and taking five wickets, and 13 ODIs. Her 21 consecutive Test appearances are the second-most in womens cricket. In those days, when we played, we just played. Nobody thought of records or breaking records. We played a lot of games that were later classified as unofficial. Out of 35, only 21 are official. But believe me, we took it in our stride, she added. Finding grounds and money was a constant struggle for Sudhas generation. It gives a lot of satisfaction that we did pursue cricket at that time despite all the difficulties we faced, be it on the field or off the field. We did toil, and to see the game where it is today gives you the satisfaction that what we did at that time hasnt gone in vain. Cricket has got to a point today where we are right on top of the world, and that really gives such a lot of satisfaction. She credited the BCCI, who took over the womens game in 2006 and has since introduced equal match fees, for turning cricket into a real career for women. At that time, we faced a lot of difficulties with finances and getting grounds, but we took it in our stride. If you had told me 50 years ago that girls would be making cricket a career, I wouldnt have believed it. At that time, we played purely for the love of the game. I never imagined that they would be getting paid and that the game would come this far. So, credit goes to the BCCI. The board gave Shah its Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018. It is a great honour. To be acknowledged for the years we put in validates the fact that our early efforts laid a strong foundation for the game, she said. As the head coach, Shah took India to their first World Cup final in 2005, a big achievement given how little the team had to work with. In 2003, we started working towards the World Cup in 2005. When we won the semi-final, we celebrated as if we had won the World Cup. It was a great achievement, considering the facilities the girls have today and what we had at that time. India lost that final and the wait for the trophy ended on November 2 last year, and Sudha nearly missed it. She voted in her local cricket associations elections, rushed to the airport for a late-afternoon flight and made it into the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai only because rain had delayed the start. When I entered DY Patil through the gate, I could hear the national anthem being played, and I said, Todays my day. When we won, I had tears in my eyes, and I rushed to the ground. I said, No, Im not sitting in the stands. We went onto the ground, and Harman (Harmanpreet Kaur) came and gave me the trophy. Harmanpreet had made her India debut when Sudha was the head coach. When she (Harmanpreet) gave me that trophy, I thought, Boy, I never ever dreamt that I would hold it. But it felt so good. The only regret I had was that I was so excited that I didnt have the presence of mind to get a photograph taken! She was also delighted by Indias Test win over England at Lords this year. We were very happy. It was so good. We have been playing very few Tests, but we have been managing to win those Test matches, and that is very commendable. I think Test cricket really tests the character of a cricketer. We lived on Test cricket. The present generation thrives on T20 and 50-over cricket, but when it comes to Test cricket, we have been playing well, and that really augurs well for womens cricket. I think the girls should be playing more Test matches. Sudha further stated the Womens Premier League (WPL) had raised standards in the domestic game. Thanks to the WPL, our domestic players have gained good exposure. Sharing the dressing room with foreign players, rubbing shoulders with them and observing their routines closely has made a great difference. Today, the youngsters are playing much more fearless cricket, and their confidence has grown. With India set to host the inaugural ICC Womens Champions Trophy in 2027, Sudha signed off by saying televised home tournaments were bringing far more girls into the game. Today, with all these tournaments being televised, even if young girls are not able to get to the grounds, they are watching, and that itself makes a big difference. Having these ICC tournaments held here increases the interest, and a lot more girls are coming forward to play. I can see the difference from 15 or 20 years back when it was more of an elimination than a proper selection for our state sides. Now, there are thousands of girls coming to play, and that is a massive boost. With India set to host the inaugural ICC Womens Champions Trophy in 2027, Sudha signed off by saying televised home tournaments were bringing far more girls into the game. Today, with all these tournaments being televised, even if young girls are not able to get to the grounds, they are watching, and that itself makes a big difference.

The actress shared her disturbing experience while talking to her Bigg Boss inmates, about her college days and early relationships. Recalling how she did not have a boyfriend until Class 12, Kanika said that moving to Chandigarh for her first year of college made her feel that she was finally experiencing freedom. Sharing how she eventually got into her first relationship, she said, I didn't have a boyfriend till 12th. I went to Chandigarh in my first year. I thought it was freedom. I saw everyone lying in the hostel at night. Hello. Hello. She further added, It's not like I'm in need of anyone. But I think it's FOMO. This can happen to me too. So I ran a Facebook account.

The actress also opened up about how the festival became a special tradition in their relationship, which began when they were dating. In the video, Debinna said, I am Bengali, Gurmeet is Bihari, and our Karwa Chauth has its own love story.

She further recalled how she observed the fast for the first time almost a year into their relationship, even before marriage. So, almost a year after dating, I kept Karwa Chauth for the first time. I was not even married. But the person for whom I had to see the moon was there, she said. Debinna explained, Then we got married. We got to know each other's customs and traditions. We accepted each other. But Karwa Chauth had become our own tradition. Today, it has been almost 18-19 years. So much has changed in life. Earlier, it was just the two of us. Now we have two little daughters. But the excitement of waiting for this day, the excitement of getting ready and the joy of seeing the moon with Gurmeet is still the same. That is why Karwa Chauth is non-negotiable for me, she added. She concluded by reflecting on how the festival takes her back to the girl she was when she first began observing the fast for Gurmeet. Every year, I meet that girl again who had started keeping a vow for Gurmeet before marriage, she said. In the video, Debinna and Gurmeet are seen celebrating Karwa Chauth together. In one of the moments from the video of this year's celebration, Debinna is dressed in a bright red traditional outfit, accessorising her look with statement jhumkas, bangles, a bindi and sindoor.

Mumbai Diary: Saturday Dossier
The city - sliced, diced and served with a dash of sauce
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 31 (IANS) Singer-composer Adnan Sami recently visited the Taj Mahal in Agra with his wife Roya Sami Khan and family. He shared glimpses of their visit to the iconic monument on social media and posted pictures from the family outing In one of the pictures, Adnan is seen posing with his wife in front of the Taj Mahal. While the singer is dressed in a black outfit, Roya is seen wearing a grey sweater, blue jeans, sunglasses and a beige hat. Sharing the pictures, he wrote, Visited Agra earlier this week, No matter how many times I come to this magnificent monument of 'Love' - The Taj Mahal, it always looks stunning... Especially when I'm embraced by the love of my beloved family. While the pictures offered a glimpse into his family time, it was also Adnan Sami's physical transformation that caught attention. The singer, who once weighed approximately 230 kg, has undergone a remarkable transformation over the years and has reportedly shed around 120-130 kg. In many interviews, Adnan has spoken about his weight-loss journey, revealing that it was a matter of survival for him. He had earlier shared that doctors warned him about the serious consequences of his weight, prompting him to make significant lifestyle changes. The singer has credited a disciplined diet and regular exercise for his transformation and has denied undergoing weight-loss surgery. He revealed following a high-protein diet while eliminating bread, rice, sugar and oil from his meals. Adnan carved a special place for himself in the Indian music industry first with his collaboration with legendary singer Asha Bhosle on the album 'Kabhi To Nazar Milao'. He became a household name with his album 'Tera Chehra', which featured popular tracks such as 'Lift Kara De' and the title song 'Tera Chehra'. He also made his mark in Bollywood with songs such as 'Mehbooba Mehbooba' from 'Ajnabee', 'Aye Udi Udi' from 'Saathiya' and 'Noor-e-Khuda' from 'My Name Is Khan'. In 2015, he also made a special appearance as a qawwal in Salman Khan-starrer 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', where he rendered the much-loved qawwali 'Bhar Do Jholi Meri'.
Auqib Nabi added to India squad for first three NZ ODIs
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 31 (IANS) Jammu and Kashmir fast bowler Auqib Nabi has received an extended opportunity in Indias ODI setup after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) included him in the squad for the first three matches of the five-game series against New Zealand, having initially been picked only for the final two games. The selection committees decision, announced on Saturday, means Nabi will now be available for the entire five-match series, which begins on November 4. His inclusion comes a day after Prasidh Krishna was ruled out of the tour, with the pacer requiring additional time to recover from a hamstring injury and regain the workload needed for competitive cricket. Nabis recent performances in New Zealand appear to have strengthened his case. The 29-year-old was among Indias standout bowlers in the opening unofficial Test between India A and New Zealand A at Lincoln last week, claiming six wickets and exploiting the assistance on offer from the surface. He was originally named in the India A squad for all three unofficial Tests but was subsequently withdrawn from the groups for the second and third matches. Before heading to New Zealand, Nabi also featured for Jammu and Kashmir in the Irani Cup against Rest of India, where he picked up four wickets. The call-up offers the right-arm seamer another opportunity to establish himself at the international level following an underwhelming start to his ODI career. Nabi made his debut against the West Indies in Guwahati on September 30 but endured a difficult outing, conceding 84 runs in 8.5 overs. He was left out of the playing XI for the third and final ODI in Mullanpur, with Mohammed Siraj replacing him. However, his domestic record provides a compelling case for another opportunity. Nabi was central to Jammu and Kashmirs historic maiden Ranji Trophy triumph in the 2025-26 season, finishing with 60 wickets and establishing himself as one of the competitions most effective fast bowlers. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill will captain India in the opening three ODIs, with Shreyas Iyer taking over leadership duties for the final two matches. Gill and wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul are scheduled to leave the squad after the third ODI to prepare for the subsequent two-match Test series. Indias updated ODI squad for the first three ODIs: Shubman Gill (c), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (vc), KL Rahul (wk), Axar Patel, Naman Dhir, Anshul Kamboj, Gurnoor Brar, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Arshdeep Singh, Ishan Kishan (wk), Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Nitish Kumar Reddy (only for the first ODI), Auqib Nabi. Indias ODI squad for fourth and fifth ODIs: Shreyas Iyer (c), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan (wk, vc), Axar Patel, Naman Dhir, Auqib Nabi, Gurnoor Brar, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Arshdeep Singh, Kumar Kushagra (wk), Mohammed Siraj, Yash Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav
