SMAT 2026: Jharkhand open title defence with win; Saurashtra, Andhra, Gujarat register victories
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 14 (IANS) Defending champions Jharkhand began their Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title defence on Saturday with a six-wicket win over Mizoram, while Saurashtra, Andhra and Gujarat also registered victories on day one of the league stage. At Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Jharkhand needed just 8.3 overs to complete a chase of 77. Jharkhands bowlers, led by Harsh Rajs 3-16, were disciplined in bundling out Mizoram for 76. Chinmay Sutar, who had a prolific first half of the Ranji Trophy season, including hitting an unbeaten 400 against Nagaland, made only 19 off 15 balls. For Mizoram, there was nowhere to hide once their innings folded at a modest total. Utkarsh Singh made 45 not out off 26 balls, laced with five fours and three sixes, as Jharkhand wrapped up the chase despite losing four batters. At the Holkar Stadium in Indore, Vaibhav Sooryavanshis first match as Bihars captain ended in defeat.

For Saurashtra, Sakariya returned with 3-33 in his four overs, while Prerak Mankad was even tighter, finishing with 3-20. Skipper Jaydev Unadkat and Krains Fuletra each picked up a wicket. Harvansh Singh set the tone for Saurashtras chase with 33 off just 11 balls, studded with three fours and three sixes, while Harvik Desai made 21. Ruchit Ahir and Sidhant Rana remained unbeaten on 21 each as the target was reached in 16.3 overs. Suraj Kashyap was the best bowler for Bihar with 3-39, while Sakariya was adjudged Player of the Match. It was a forgettable start to the captaincy stint for Sooryavanshi, who is also slated to join the India A team for the Rising Stars Mens Asia Cup, to be played in Doha from November 19 to 29. In an Elite Group C fixture in New Chandigarh, Andhra defeated Tripura by 43 runs. Batting first, Andhra could manage only 141/9 in their 20 overs, with SNDV Prasad hitting an unbeaten 33-ball fifty. But that proved to be enough as Tripura were dismissed for 98 in 17.2 overs. Pacers Cheepurapalli Stephen and KV Sasikanth took three wickets each for Andhra, as Tripuras batters fell without showing any fighting spirit and failed to bat out their full quota of overs. At the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, riding a late surge from Ashutosh Sharma (20 not out off nine balls) and Vishal Jayswal (22 not out off eight balls), Gujarat posted 250/9, enough to secure a 21-run victory. Skipper Urvil Patel hit a blistering 30-ball 62, including six fours and four sixes, while debutant spin-bowling all-rounder Khilan Patel, who was a member of the India team that won this years Mens U-19 World Cup, smashed a fluent 84 off just 29 balls, including six fours and eight sixes. For Odisha, Lalit Yadav and Debabrata Pradhan starred with the ball, each scalping three wickets. Despite a 49-ball 87 from Subhranshu Senapati and Kartik Biswals 32-ball 55, Odisha fell short of the target, finishing at 229/8. Left-arm pacer Arzan Nagwaswalla picked 4-50, while leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi took 2-37 in his four overs.

SMAT 2026: Suryakumar's Carnage, Musheer's Blitz Lead Mumbai To Cakewalk Win Over Hyderabad
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Mumbai captain Suryakumar Yadav unleashed his carnage as Mumbai chased down 173 against Hyderabad in their Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy opener on Saturday at the Jadavpur University Campus 2nd Ground here on a high note. On his return to competitive cricket, Surya made a stellar unbeaten 60 from 21 balls to power his side to a cakewalk win in the Group D Elite clash. Musheer Khan also made a strong 51 off 24 balls, while Shivam Dube provided the finishing touches as Mumbai chased down the target in just 13.1 overs. Surya, who lost his India T20I captaincy and his place in the team after leading the Men in Blue to the 2026 T20 World Cup defence, is playing top-flight cricket for the first time since the IPL. He was in action during the Mumbai T20 League in June and then in club cricket, but returned to top-flight cricket after some time. He was named captain of the Mumbai side for the SMAT. Coming to the match, Hyderabad made 172/10 in their 20 overs as their batters could not make the most of the starts. Abhirath Reddy scored 35 off 24 balls, while No. 4 Kodimela Himateja made a 16-ball 25. Captain Chama V Milind came with a late cameo of 22 from 12 deliveries to power the side to a fightable total. In reply, Mumbai made a strong start with Angkrish Raghuvanshi (27 from 13 balls), and the other opener, Hardik Tamore, also batted well with 22 from 16 balls. Mumbai were 90/2 after 7.5 overs, well on course for the chase before SKY and Musheer ripped apart the bowling. SKY hit two sixes and as many fours in the first seven balls he faced, bringing up his fifty in just 15 balls. Musheer also showed his hitting prowess as the two made a mockery of Hyderabadi bowlers, with SKY first hitting Ved Reddy for 22 in the ninth over, before the pair combined to hit Pranav Varma for 24 in the next. Musheer was dismissed on 51 in the 12th over, but SKY kept going as Dube also joined the party and finished the job with a six on the 14th over. During his 60-run stay, SKY smashed five sixes and six fours, while Musheer hit three sixes and six fours. Dube tonked a couple of sixes as well. Brief Scores: Hyderabad 172/10 in 20 overs (Abhirath Reddy 35, Kodimela Himateja 25; Maxwell Swaminathan 3-23, Shivam Dube 2-31) lost to Mumbai (Suryakumar Yadav 60, Musheer Khan 51; Ajay Dev Goud 2-41, Pranav Varma 1-30) by seven wickets.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 14 (IANS) Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC on Saturday questioned the allegations of phone tapping made by Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, asking why Prime Minister Narendra Modi would be interested in tapping his phone. Congress leaders hit back at the BJP and defended LoP Gandhi's allegations. Speaking to IANS, Shaina NC said, Why would PM Modi tap Rahul Gandhi's phone? Tell me, is he a secret agent? Does he have any secret information? If you want to make allegations, you must come out of Modi phobia. Only then will you understand. She further criticised LoP Rahul Gandhi, alleging that he lacked a vision and a concrete plan and repeatedly invoked the Prime Minister's name to portray him negatively. You have repeated Modi ji's name so much, morning and evening, that you have portrayed him as a villain. In fact, he is a hero. You should look for someone else to portray as a villain, she said. Meanwhile, Congress leaders defended LoP Rahul Gandhi's allegations and accused the BJP-led government of using agencies to target political opponents and undermine the federal structure. Congress MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy said LoP Rahul Gandhi's allegations reflected the way the Central government was functioning and alleged that the BJP wanted to weaken regional parties and consolidate political power. Rahul ji's allegation on phone tapping is clearly showing us how the Modi government is acting. They want to destabilise the federal structure and regional parties. They want a 'One Nation, One Party, Double Engine Sarkar'. All these things are in their interest to remain in power for a long time, and they are using all the agencies, which we can clearly see, he said. Referring to Telangana's political history, Reddy alleged that former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao had also resorted to phone tapping during his tenure to prevent the Congress from coming to power. As LoP Rahul Gandhi rightly said, they are using everything for the sake of staying in power, he added. Congress leader and AICC in-charge for Telangana, Sachin Sawant, also criticised the BJP, alleging that phone tapping, gathering Intelligence on individuals and blackmailing them had become part of its political modus operandi. This has been the attitude and policy of the Bharatiya Janata Party. This is how the Constitution and democracy of this country have been put in danger, he said. Referring to Maharashtra, Sawant alleged that the phones of several political leaders had been tapped in the state, describing it as a major scandal. So, what is new about this? This is Modi ji's gift to this country, he added.

Emile Hirsch recalls working with Wild Man with heart of gold Heath Ledger on 'Lords of Dogtown'
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 14 (IANS) Actor Emile Hirsch has paid a heartfelt tribute to late actor Heath Ledger, recalling his larger-than-life personality, artistic approach to acting and the unforgettable memories they shared while filming Lords of Dogtown. Describing Ledger as a fearless performer with a sensitive side and a hilarious sense of humour on Instagram, Hirsch remembered how the actor effortlessly made everyone around him feel special, adding that working with him was perhaps the most fun he had ever had on a film set. Hirsch wrote in the caption section: Heath Ledger was the man. There's just no other way to describe him- when us young actors playing the Z Boys met him- the awe was instantaneous. The dude had insane b***s- he wasn't afraid of anything it seemed- but also was this super sensitive artist with a hilarious sense of humor. And when he talked about people, you could tell he really cared. He said Ledger was a great example of his character. Hirsch recalled an incident: One day our makeup woman tripped in the lunch tent and went down to the floor- before I could even blink, Heath was down on the ground, helping her up and making sure she was okay. During the shoot, one weekend Heath had a party- it was at his really dope house in Los Feliz. He added: We all went to what I'm sure for us was the coolest party we had been to in our lives- Heath as the wildman host- so much so that we missed skate practice the next morning. We showed up late, and we all had to pay the price as we got dragged by everyone. Heath just laughed afterwards. Hirsch went on to share more: His trailer was always a party scene: he'd set up beach chairs and like tiki torches and a cooler and speakers blasting music- not exactly a tortured method actor like people would later try and peg him as. Heath had a very artistic- almost scientific- way of looking at acting, it seemed to me- I remember reading him saying how acting was like playing with a boombox- you're just adjusting the dials until you get the music you like. He'd not be afraid to watch playback, analyzing what he was doing in real time and making adjustments to it. Some of our rehearsals included: us just going to Venice Beach and Surfing and then skating in the parking lot. Oh yeah, and chilling and blasting music. And eating burgers. Yeah, that was probably the most fun movie to make- maybe ever? To Heath- we miss you Mate!

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 14 (IANS) Singer Suneeta Rao has looked back at recording the song Adi Paru Mangatha for music maestro A. R. Rahman in 1994, calling it one of the best-produced playback songs she has ever sung. Sharing the memory, she revealed that despite coming from a Telugu-speaking family, she only recorded the Tamil version of the playful, mischievous number, which was based on a card game. In 1994 I sang this song called Adi paru Mangata for A. R. Rehman. Based on a card game, the lyrics were mischievous and playful. Strangely enough even though I come from a Telugu speaking family, I only sang the Tamil version, she wrote in the caption. She added: Nevertheless it remains one of the best produced playback songs I have ever sung #pareehoonmain #suneetarao #arrehman #tamilfilmsongs #tollywood. Adi Paru Mangatha featured in the 1994 film May Maadham. The Tamil-language romantic musical film directed by Venus Balu. The film stars Vineeth and Sonali Kulkarni, with music by A. R. Rahman.

PM Narendra Modi inaugurates projects worth over Rs 15,600 crore in Bengaluru
New Delhi, Nov 13:Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday inaugurated, dedicated to the nation, laid the foundation stone and flagged off development projects worth over Rs 15,600 crore in Bengaluru, Karnataka, with a major focus on urban connectivity, railway infrastructure and energy security. Addressing a gathering, PM Modi said the projects would give fresh momentum to the development of Karnataka and strengthen Bengalurus position as Indias technology hub. From projects connected with metro and rail to works of energy security, all these projects are going to give new strength to the infrastructure of Karnataka, he said. The Prime Minister highlighted the inauguration of the Bengaluru Metros new Pink Line, saying it would improve connectivity to IIM Bengaluru, educational institutions and major business and technology centres. He said the new corridor would make daily commuting easier for lakhs of people while saving their time and money. PM Modi said Namma Metro had expanded from just 17 km in 2014 to more than 100 km, making Bengaluru the third Indian city after Delhi-NCR and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region to cross the milestone. Describing Bengaluru as the countrys Silicon Valley, he said the city contributes more than one-third of Indias IT exports and remains a major centre of innovation and economic growth. The Prime Minister also paid tributes to former Union Minister Ananth Kumar, recalling his close association with the region. On railway infrastructure, PM Modi said Indian Railways was moving beyond its colonial-era legacy, with modern trains and upgraded stations reflecting Indias identity. He referred to the development of Amrit Bharat stations in Karnataka, saying more than 60 stations in the state were being modernised with improved passenger facilities, including amenities for senior citizens and persons with disabilities. He said Karnatakas railway budget allocation had increased ninefold over the past 10 to 12 years. The Prime Minister also flagged off a new Vande Bharat train connecting Karnataka with Goa, saying it would provide passengers along the coastal route, including Mangaluru, a new semi-high-speed travel experience. This comes days after the state received its first Vande Bharat Sleeper train, he said. Referring to the ongoing conflict around Iran and the Gulf region, PM Modi underlined the importance of energy security and said India had been able to withstand global challenges because of steps taken over the past decade to diversify energy sources and strengthen domestic capacities. He highlighted three projects in Karnataka: an LPG facility at Mangaluru that will add 80,000 metric tonnes of storage capacity, the Devangonthi Marketing Terminal to streamline supplies of petrol, diesel and aviation fuel, and a compressed biogas (CBG) plant in Bengaluru with a daily production capacity of 13 tonnes. PM Modi said India was expanding its clean energy capacity to meet the growing electricity requirements of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, data centres, semiconductors and quantum computing. Under the PM-KUSUM scheme, he said, more than eight lakh solar pumps were being provided to farmers in Karnataka to reduce irrigation costs and create additional income opportunities. The Annadatas of Karnataka are now also becoming Urjadatas, he said. The Prime Minister also highlighted the governments measures to improve the purchasing power of middle-class families, including income tax exemption for annual incomes up to Rs 12 lakh, changes in tax deduction rules and GST reforms. He said the removal of GST on individual health and life insurance had made insurance more affordable. PM Modi said the growing aspirations of the neo-middle class were driving demand and generating employment across sectors such as automobiles, electronics, tourism and services. He said the governments focus was to increase middle-class savings and purchasing power so that families could fulfil their aspirations while contributing to the countrys economic growth.
