MUMBAI: The Bombay High Court on Tuesday sought the Centre's response on a plea filed by the mother of an Agniveer who was killed in cross-border shelling in Jammu & Kashmir during Operation Sindoor, challenging the denial of benefits to which a regular soldier's family is entitled to in such cases. A bench headed by Justice Ravindra Ghuge issued a notice to the Ministry of Defence, seeking its response on the plea filed by the mother of Agniveer Murali Naik, and posted the matter for hearing on January 15. The Centre's Agnipath scheme creates an arbitrary distinction between Agniveers (as recruits under the scheme are called) and regular soldiers, claimed the plea filed by Naik's mother Jyotibai, questioning the discriminatory denial of full death benefits to the family. Naik, an Agniveer, was killed on May 9 in Poonch, J&K, when the Pakistan Army resorted to heavy cross-border artillery and mortar attacks as India launched Operation Sindoor, a military action in retaliation to the Pahalgam terror strike that killed 26 people, mostly tourists, in April. The petition, filed through advocates Sandesh More, Hemant Ghadigaonkar and Hitendra Gandhi, argued Agniveers perform the same duties and face the same risks as regular soldiers, yet the families of those recruited under the short-term induction programme are denied long-term pension and other welfare benefits. The Agnipath scheme introduced by the government expressly excludes Agniveers from post-service pension benefits and other long-term welfare entitlements normally available to regular soldiers, the petition pointed out. As per the plea, the family of a martyred Agniveer gets an ex-gratia amount of around Rs 1 crore, but not a regular family pension or any other benefits. The petition sought directions to the government to ensure equal posthumous benefits, including pensions, institutional recognition, and welfare measures for families of Agniveers who die in service. It also sought a direction to authorities concerned to consider the petitioner's request for these benefits to be extended to her family. As per the plea, Naik was recruited in the Indian Army in June 2023 under the Agnipath scheme. After his death, his mother sent letters to several authorities, requesting her family be granted the same benefits as those given to families of regular soldiers, who die in line of duty. However, she was yet to receive any reply, claimed the petition. The petition noted while it is not challenging the validity of the Agnipath scheme in its entirety, it was discriminatory and violated the fundamental rights of citizens. The scheme created an arbitrary and unreasonable classification between Agniveers and regular soldiers without any intelligible differentia, it said. Notably, the Centre introduced Agnipath in 2022 for short-term induction of personnel in the Army, Navy and Air Force, with an aim to bring down the age profile of the three services. The scheme provides for recruiting Agniveers between the age group of 17-and-a-half years and 21 years for a block period of four years with a provision to retain 25 per cent of them for another 15 years.

For India 'B', the other batter to impress was GS Shiva (41). India 'B' ended with 170 for nine in their 20 overs.

India 'A' was bowled out for a paltry 87 in 16.5 overs. For India 'B', the best bowler was right-arm medium-pacer Ganesh Pisal (4-25). The second and third matches of the series will be played on Wednesday and Thursday. This series is part of a warm-up for upcoming international assignments.

IPL 2026 Auction: Prashant Veer And Kartik Sharma Become Highest-paid Uncapped Players
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Young stars Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma became the highest-priced uncapped players in Indian Premier League (IPL) history as Chennai Super Kings went all out for young Indian talent at the mini auction for the 2026 edition at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. CSK paid a staggering Rs 14.20 crore each for the duo, both coming in at a base price of Rs 30 lakh, underlining the franchises aggressive shift towards investing in emerging players. Uttar Pradesh all-rounder Prashant Veers price soared 47.3 times his base value after CSK fought off early interest from Rajasthan Royals and a late, intense challenge from Sunrisers Hyderabad to secure the 20-year-old left-arm spinner and middle-order batter. Veer, who will make his IPL debut, first caught attention while representing Noida Super Kings in the UP T20 League and has since built an impressive domestic record. In 12 T20 matches, he has scored 112 runs at a strike rate of 167.16 and taken 12 wickets in nine innings at an economy of 6.45. His strong showing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy further boosted his credentials, with CSK viewing him as a long-term successor to Ravindra Jadeja. Moments later, CSK matched that investment by signing Rajasthan power-hitter Kartik Sharma for the same 14.20 crore, following another fierce bidding war involving Mumbai Indians, Lucknow Super Giants, and Kolkata Knight Riders. Kartik, known for his explosive middle-order batting and dependable wicketkeeping, has scored 334 runs in 12 T20s at a strike rate of 164, smashing 28 sixes, and was among the leading six-hitters in the Ranji Trophy. Moments later, CSK matched that investment by signing Rajasthan power-hitter Kartik Sharma for the same 14.20 crore, following another fierce bidding war involving Mumbai Indians, Lucknow Super Giants, and Kolkata Knight Riders.

IPL Auction: I Would Like To See Him Play As Opener For KKR, Says Anil Kumble On Cameron Green
Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India cricketer Anil Kumble wants Cameron Green to play as an opener for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) after he emerged as the most expensive overseas buy at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 mini-auction so far, and the third most expensive purchase in the history of the tournament. Green made his IPL debut in the 2023 season after the Mumbai Indians (MI) bought him for Rs 17.5 crore. Notably, at the time, he became the second-most expensive overseas player in IPL auction history and the most expensive Australian player. Most recently, he played in IPL 2024 for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) after being traded in from MI. In 12 innings, he made 255 runs at a strike rate of 143.25 and picked up 10 wickets in 13 matches with the ball at an economy of 8.61. I would like to see him play the opening slot for KKR. I think, in terms of a finisher, KKR already have a decent line-up. They have Rinku Singh, for instance. I dont think they utilised their resources well last season. If you compare it to the season when they won the trophy, it was a similar kind of line-up. Yes, of course, Shreyas Iyer, the skipper, was missing, and Mitchell Starc, the key fast bowler, was also missing. However, if you look at the kind of batting depth they had Ramandeep Singh, Rovman Powell, and Rinku Singh; these are all capable and experienced batters who can operate in the No. 5, No. 6, and finisher roles. So I feel, they dont need a Cameron Green to do that job. I would rather see him at the top of the order, either opening or at No. 3, depending on where Ajinkya Rahane wants to bat. Sunil Narine could drop down to No. 6 or No. 7 or even act as a floater, Kumble told JioStar. However, the Australian all-rounder will take home only 18 crore, as per the new maximum fee rule. The maximum fee rule was brought in last year to address the collective concern of franchises that some overseas players were registering exclusively at mini auctions to exploit the supply-demand imbalance. As per the rule, the overseas player cannot be paid more than Rs 18 crore, which was the highest slab for franchises retaining players ahead of the 2025 mega auction. If the bid exceeded the Rs 18-crore mark, the additional money would be utilised by the BCCI for player welfare.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score Experience is something the Delhi Capitals clearly lacked. While the uncapped batters did perform well last season Ashutosh Sharma and Vipraj Nigam, in particular, played the finishers role effectively. Adding someone with David Millers experience and ability is a big plus. Pairing him with Tristan Stubbs, his South African teammate, strengthens the middle order significantly. At that price, its an absolute steal for the Delhi Capitals. I thought Gujarat Titans might look to bring him back, but they seem likely to stick with Washington Sundar for that role. Overall, its a very smart move by Delhi Capitals to add experience something they were missing last season. Article Source: IANS

The Toss That Took 21 Tries: Indias Longest ODI Jinx Finally Snapped
Even before the start of India vs South Africa 3rd ODI at Vizag, India captain KL Rahul was seen to be very happy, laughing and punching the air in delight. The India team dug out was also elated. Occasion: India ended its toss losing spree after 21 attempts in ODIs. The last toss India had won was during the World Cup 2023 semi-final against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, on November 15, 2023. The question is not the impact the loss of toss in 20 ODIs had on the results for India, but the missing art of winning the toss, for India captains Rohit Sharma (12), KL Rahul (5) and Shubman Gill (3). India won 12 of the 20 ODIs during this streak alongside a tie. On Vizag match, do you know: *Former India player and now TV expert Murali Karthik had given Rahul some special tips related to the toss. *For a change, Rahul did the coin flip with his left hand, and it worked. *Rahul revealed that the team analyst Conor McGregor had also given him a few tricks for a toss favour. So much strategy and planning just to win a toss? In fact, it has become a mystery as to why India captains are not winning the toss in ODIs? For the 20th straight time that India had lost the toss in ODIs at Raipur. Even at Raipur Rahul had played a special trick before the toss as he kissed the coin before flipping it but ended with disappointment. The best man who could have helped India captains during this toss losing spree was EM Grace, brother of WG Grace. As per Eric Midwinters compilation, WG Grace: His Life and Times, EM Grace once won 38 out of 40 tosses in a season as he claimed that his eyesight was good enough to watch the coin at the top of the spin and accordingly he called. Honestly, that's the most pressure I've had because we haven't won a toss in a long time. I've been practising, but clearly, it's not working, Rahul said while talking to the presenter Ravi Shastri at Raipur. The broadcasters were ready with their stats and flashed that the chances of India losing 20 tosses in a row isnt bad luck, its a statistical absurdity: 1 in 10,48,576. So thats why, at Vizag, KL Rahul was seen to be very happy and satisfied, after winning the toss. Now Indias toss loss spree has ended. The second-best ODI record in a toss losing streak is 11, in the name of Netherlands between March 2011 and August 2013. Netherlands won only three ODIs during this period including an abandoned game and a tie. Incidentally now India holds the record for the most successive lost tosses not only in ODIs but in Tests also. India lost 10 tosses between December 2009 and October 2010. We are the champions in all three formats together also as India recorded 15 successive lost tosses, between January and July 2025 which included losing all five tosses in the Tests in England this year. Another oddity is that India lost 11 successive tosses in a row between November 2023 and January 2024 and this included losing all the seven tosses (2 T20Is+3 ODIs+2 Tests) on the tour of South Africa. The West Indies had lost 12 successive tosses across formats in 1999. Rohit Sharma jointly holds the individual captaincy record in this respect as he lost 12 tosses between 19 November 2023 (World Cup final) and 9 March 2025 (Champions Trophy final). Brian Lara had also suffered bad luck with 12 tosses between 31 October 1998 and 21 May 1999. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The best India toss trick story is related to none other than Lala Amarnath. He lost 10 Test tosses in a row! This included all the five in Australia during India's 1947-48 tour. Before the last Test in Melbourne, a newspaper reported that, after the first four Tests, Lala Amarnath took a 'lucky' coin out to the middle, to practise tossing! Don Bradman, being the home captain, was supposed to flip the coin in the final fifth Test at Melbourne too but it might be possible that Lala had a toss-practising session, and in that held the coin, the same way, the Don did!

Amid tourism lull, chill in Kerala's Munnar sees mercury dip
IDUKKI: Munnar woke up to an unmistakable nip in the air on Monday, with the mercury sliding to a low of 3C at Chundavurrai, while Letchmi Estate recorded 4C and Sevenmallay 5C, according to the latest weather bulletin. The early morning mist was thick and persistent, and tea gardens across the hill station wore a frosted look as winter tightened its grip on this beloved Western Ghats retreat. For residents and workers in the high ranges, the sudden chill is familiar yet striking. Estate labourers wrapped themselves in multiple layers before beginning their days work, while some visitors paused at viewpoints just to breathe in the crisp, cool air that has become a hallmark of the season. This year, however, the falling temperature has coincided with an unusual lull in tourist activity -- a development locals attribute to growing concerns around visitor safety and convenience. In recent months, Munnar has been in the spotlight after several incidents involving local taxi operators and tourists who attempted to use ride-hailing services. In one widely shared case, a Mumbai tourist alleged she was threatened by a group of taxi drivers when she tried to leave the hill station in a cab she booked using a mobile application, prompting police action and arrests. Following this, sporadic incidents of conflict with tourists by local jeep and taxi drivers were reported from the hill town. Yet, stakeholders remain cautiously hopeful. A hotelier in Munnar said the dip in footfall is visible across most properties this winter. Occupancy has been noticeably lower compared to previous seasons, particularly on weekdays. Many guests seem to be waiting and watching, he said. We are hopeful that bookings will improve once the Christmas and New Year holidays begin, which traditionally bring a strong rush despite the cold, he added. However, the chill has brought modest relief to small traders dealing in winter essentials. Kumar, a local vendor selling woollen wear near Munnar town, said demand has picked up over the past few days. As soon as it started getting colder, people began asking for sweaters, mufflers and caps. There is high demand from visitors and local residents alike, he said.

U-19 womens cricket match: Kerala bowlers shine in second win
KOCHI: Kerala trounced Saurashtra by 95 runs to register their second group-stage victory in the under-19 womens national 50-over cricket championship. Batting first at the Sachin Tendulkar Gymkhana in Mumbai, Kerala put on 186 runs in 46.3 overs. In reply, Saurashtra were bowled out for 91 in 34.5 overs. Sradha Sumesh (55 off 47 balls) was instrumental in Kerala posting a competitive total. Her innings was studded with four boundaries and three maximums. Earlier, opener Sreya P Siju (44 off 59) and Aryananda N S (24 off 68) put on a 60-run partnership to help steady Keralas innings. Among the batters who followed, however, only Ashima Antony and captain Isabel reached double-digits. Dhruvi Bhatasana was the pick of the Saurashtra bowlers, taking three wickets. Avani Chavda and Jadeja Harshitaba, also, chipped in, taking two each. Sradha has been a consistent performer this tournament. She is determined to keep this momentum going in the upcoming matches, Arun N B, the team coach, told TNIE . Save for Sradha, the rest struggled with the bat. However, we were terrific with the ball, he said. Saurashtra lost their opener Angel off the very first ball to a brilliant delivery by Isabel, who also dismissed in-form Veda Amrutiya for a duck, and contributed in the field to run out Bhindi K. However, with figures of 3 for 19, Niya Nazneen was the pick of Keralas bowlers. Her spell of nine overs included three maidens. Anushka C V also shone with the cherry, taking two wickets and giving away just two runs in her six overs. With one each, Manasvi and Aksa A R were the other wicket takers. For Saurashtra, only Krishas put up any resistance (29 off 70). Keralas victory came on the back of a record-breaking performance in their opener against Nagaland which they won by 316 runs. The victory margin was the highest in the tournaments history. Kerala scored 377 for 7 in 50 overs. In reply, Nagaland could only manage 61 runs. Sradha was the star, scoring a century. With two wins, Kerala sits atop the group table. However, the upcoming fixtures against Bengal and Haryana will determine if we will qualify for the next round, Arun added.
