Mental Toughness Key To Facing Australia's Experienced Bowling Attack, Says Gambhir
Star Sports Network: India head coach Gautam Gambhir believes mental toughness and the ability to absorb pressure will hold the key for India's young batting lineup when they go up against Australia's formidable bowling attack in the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, to be played from January 21 to March 3, 2027. Australia's marquee bowling group comprising Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Nathan Lyon will take a stern examination of the Indian batters when the games take place in Nagpur, Chennai, Guwahati, Ranchi and Ahmedabad. India last won the series at home in 2023 by 2-1. Looking forward to it. That is probably one thing which I'm absolutely looking forward to, because playing against Australia at home, and obviously it wasn't the best when we went to Australia. And for me, I think it is going to be India versus Australia, but before that, it is New Zealand. But the other challenge against Australia will be their experienced bowling attack. They've got the likes of obviously Starc, Nathan Lyon, Cummins, and Hazlewood. Obviously they've got so much experience of playing Test cricket against our young batting lineup. So it's going to be a great experience for these guys. More importantly, in Test cricket, it's about the skill, but it's about how mentally strong and how much pressure you can absorb. The more pressure you absorb, and the more pressure you embrace, it's going to give yourself the best chance, said Gambhir to JioStar ahead of the start of India's home season via three ODIs and five T20Is against the West Indies. Reflecting on India's preparation for the tough test at home, Gambhir pointed to their recent tour of Sri Lanka as proof that adequate lead time and targeted preparation for facing spinners will produce clear results on the field. But you could see that in Sri Lanka, we played two Test matches, and we got more than 400 runs in both the innings. And the reason was that we prepared extremely well. We went 10 days before the Test match, we could prepare playing spin, and then you could see the results as well. The thing is, I'm not going to give any excuses, but that's the reality. When we played the Test series against South Africa, we were coming after playing a T20 series from Australia. And we had two days before the first Test match. I remember coming from Brisbane, and then we reached Calcutta. We had two practice sessions, and we were straightaway into the Test match against South Africa. Against the West Indies, obviously we did manage to win that series, but we came after winning the Asia Cup, and we had two days of practice sessions in Ahmedabad, and we were right straight into the Test match and now you could see the difference. When we went to Sri Lanka early, you could see the way guys played spin, because Sri Lanka isn't easy conditions. In their own backyard, the weather, their spinners, their experienced spinners against our batting lineup. If you can get 400-plus in both the innings in both the Test matches, that just shows that there is a lot of improvement happening. So we will have to prepare well before New Zealand and before Australia, and obviously the focus is on spin, yes, that how well can we manage and how well can we negate spin, he explained. Gambhir also stated that young cricketers making their mark in the national setup must prioritize red-ball cricket above short-format monetary gains, citing Devdutt Padikkal and Manav Suthar as example. Extremely important, because both of them are young, both of them are hungry, both of them value Test cricket. It is so important for the next generation who's coming in to value Test cricket, because in today's day and age, with so much of focus and so much of limelight and so much of monetary gains that are associated with T20 cricket, how we can keep Test cricket divine, and above the other two formats is going to be key. Also, how much value a young generation or the new guys coming in gives that red-ball cricket is going to be key. That's why I said, a strong Test-cricketing nation is going to be a strong cricketing nation. When it comes to Manav and Dev, I think they value Test cricket, they're disciplined, hungry, and prepare really well. It is so important for the next generation who's coming in to value Test cricket, because in today's day and age, with so much of focus and so much of limelight and so much of monetary gains that are associated with T20 cricket, how we can keep Test cricket divine, and above the other two formats is going to be key.

Sharad Pawar to tour Maharashtra's drought-affected regions from Sep 28
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 21 (IANS) With several parts of Maharashtra facing severe drought conditions due to inadequate rainfall this season, Nationalist Congress Party-SP chief Sharad Pawar is set to undertake a tour of the affected regions from next Monday. The veteran leader will visit farms directly to assess the situation on the ground and interact with affected farmers. The announcement comes amidst escalating political action over the agrarian crisis. Earlier, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had directed all guardian ministers to conduct field reviews in their respective districts to expedite government relief measures. While CM Fadnavis has accused the opposition of politicising the situation, Sharad Pawar's planned tour is expected to raise the pressure on the state administration. Although the state government has announced that crop damage assessments (panchnamas) will begin on October 5, farmers have expressed anxiety over delays in receiving relief funds. In a letter to CM Fadnavis, Pawar previously urged the state government to officially declare a drought and submitted a 9-point charter of demands. He also urged the CM to declare a state-level drought immediately without waiting for formal technical criteria, extend emergency drought benefits to heavily affected talukas, provide immediate compensation of Rs 50,000 per hectare to affected farmers and Rs 25,000 as special financial aid to landless farm labourer families, implement a farm loan waiver immediately, facilitate fresh crop loans, increase the incentive subsidy for farmers with consistent loan repayments from Rs 50,000 to Rs 100,000, and cover defaulting farmers from the 202526 season under the waiver. Pawar called upon the CM to apply the Re 1 crop insurance scheme retroactively with all previously excluded trigger points restored, and immediately disburse the promised Rs 17,000 per hectare compensation for unseasonal rain damage from last year, initiate special works under the Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGA) focusing on agriculture and water conservation and provide dedicated water tankers to preserve fruit orchards, and conduct immediate surveys in villages facing drinking water shortages to deploy government tankers. He has emphasised the need to set up cattle fodder camps, drinking water points, and veterinary services on demand, launch a special drive through the Energy Department to repair faulty transformers on priority to counter load-shedding issues and set up state- and district-level control rooms to monitor daily rainfall, crop health, water scarcity, and fodder availability. He also demanded that the government should waive complete tuition and academic fees for students studying in drought-affected talukas, rather than limiting concessions to examination fee waivers. Meanwhile, NCP SP MLA Rohit Pawar has already initiated a tour of the drought-hit areas, launching sharp attacks on the state government. Rohit Pawar, in a post on X, said that when assessing drought, human errors should be avoided, accurate processing of information from various indicators should take place, and drought-affected talukas should be identified in less time. For this purpose, the government has developed Maha-MADAT, an advanced computer system, extremely important for determining Trigger-1 and Trigger-2, but he pointed out a crucial shortcoming in it. However, the shocking fact is that the tenure given to MRSAC (Maharashtra Remote Sensing Application Centre, Nagpur) for this computer system, Maha-MADAT, was only up to the Kharif season of 2024. Despite the Agriculture Department repeatedly submitting proposals for extension of tenure, this government has not yet taken any decision on it. While Maharashtra is burning in drought, how can the government sleep for two whole years like this? The government should immediately complete the necessary processes, declare drought in the state, and implement relief measures accordingly, he noted. Parallel to Sharad Pawars field visits, the NCP-SP has convened a comprehensive state-level meeting on September 28 in Mumbai. The meeting will be chaired by the party's state President Shashikant Shinde in the presence of Working President Supriya Sule. Attendees include party MPs, MLAs, state office-bearers, observers, spokespersons, district and taluka heads, frontal organisation chiefs, and former candidates. During the meeting, NCP SP will evaluate the drought and water scarcity situation across Maharashtra and its impact on rural life, formulate the party's stance and strategy regarding youth unemployment, address paper leaks and examination malpractices affecting st, students' futures and issue guidelines and vigilance tasks for office-bearers regarding the State Infrastructure/Information Register (SIR). Besides, the party will review the current political landscape in Maharashtra and discuss organisational expansion and party-building strategies.

Caste census: Congress gives Chalo Delhi call on Nov 1 for separate OBC column
Digital Desk | Nagpur, Sep 19 (IANS) Intensifying the demand for a separate column for Other Backward Classes (OBC) in the upcoming nationwide caste-based census, Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar on Saturday announced a large-scale agitational campaign culminating in a Chalo Delhi march on November 1. The strategy was finalised during a key Vidarbha-level meeting of OBC leaders, office-bearers, and prominent activists held in Nagpur to address long-standing grievances facing the community. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Wadettiwar, a Congress Legislature Party leader in the Maharashtra Assembly, said a separate column for OBCs in the caste census is indispensable. He said, Our demand is explicit: there must be a caste-wise census with a dedicated column for OBCs. The governments current decisions regarding the census process have sparked widespread discontent within the OBC community. If the true population of OBCs is not accurately documented, issues surrounding their political representation and reservation benefits will become increasingly severe. Following a preliminary meeting of nearly 65 OBC organisations from across the country held in Delhi on September 13, a phased nationwide agitation roadmap has been unveiled. Wadettiwar said that on October 2 (Gandhi Jayanti and Lal Bahadur Shastri Jayanti), taluka-level Satyagraha (peaceful protests) will be organised; on October 25, district-level protest marches across the state; and on November 1, the Chalo Delhi rally to push the central government to action. The exact framework of the Delhi demonstration will be finalised in consultation with allied organisations across the country. Beyond the census, Wadettiwar raised concerns regarding student welfare and state support for marginalised communities. He accused the Maharashtra state government of stalling tactics in allocating funds to autonomous institutes like Mahajyoti and BARTI. He urged the administration to release funding proportional to the population and ensure timely disbursement of pre-matric and post-matric scholarships. Addressing the sensitive ongoing debate over Maratha reservation in Maharashtra, Wadettiwar reaffirmed that the OBC community opposes any dilution of its existing quota. The government should not slice away rights from one community to satisfy another. If the government wants to grant reservation to any group, it should do so independently. Do not allocate any portion of the OBC quota to others. If our constitutional rights are encroached upon, we will not sit quietly, he cautioned.

Cashew-almond row erupts at Maha drought meet, Fadnavis calls for sensitivity
Digital Desk | Nanded/Nagpur, Sep 19 (IANS) A massive political controversy has erupted in Maharashtra on Saturday after a video went viral on social media showing ministers, leaders and senior officials consuming cashews and almonds during an official drought review meeting in Nanded. The incident occurred at the District Planning Hall, where officials had gathered to assess the severe agricultural crisis and crop loss across Marathwada, triggering widespread public outrage over the administration's apathy toward struggling farmers. Speaking to the media in Nagpur, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis acknowledged the customary administrative practices involved in such situations while stressing the need for greater empathy during times of crisis. It is a standard administrative protocol to provide dry fruits during official meetings. No one does this intentionally to mock the drought situation. However, the administration must keep ground realities in mind and act with greater sensitivity. Such practices should be avoided under these circumstances, he noted. Shiv Sena Minister Sanjay Shirsat, who was absent from the meeting due to prior commitments, shifted the accountability to bureaucratic arrangements. I did not attend as I had pre-scheduled engagements, and Agriculture Minister Datta Bhaarne was handling the responsibilities alongside the attending officers. It is the officials who arrange cashews and almonds, but elected representatives end up facing public criticism. I will issue strict directives to the divisional commissioner regarding this matter. Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) MLA Rohit Pawar launched a scathing attack on the government, accusing it of a lack of seriousness regarding the severe drought conditions. While the drought crisis across the state is extremely grave, the government shows zero seriousness and is busy relishing cashews and almonds. The state government must immediately convene a special legislative assembly session to address the drought and offer concrete relief to farmers. In response to the dry spell, crop failure, and impending water shortages, Fadnavis outlined several emergency relief steps initiated by the state government. Cabinet ministers have been assigned to conduct ground-level reviews in their respective districts. Preliminary reviews and loss assessments (panchnamas) will be finalised within a week to expedite financial assistance. Process for the loan waiver is progressing rapidly; three beneficiary lists have already been published, and the remaining lists are being compiled on priority, he said. Leveraging planning under the fodder development program launched in response to the El Nino threat, fodder and drinking water are being arranged for heavily affected zones, the CM said. Fadnavis further stated that to help save standing crops, the state is providing extra electricity to farmers during evening hours, even in single-phase supply zones where wells still hold water. He added that water reserves in major reservoirs are being strictly reserved for drinking purposes to prevent shortages, especially in areas dependent on smaller, depleted dams.

Over 70 passports under scanner, MP STF widens fake passport probe
Digital Desk | Bhopal, Sep 14 (IANS) The Madhya Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) has widened its probe into a suspected fake passport racket, with more than 70 passports under scrutiny and four persons arrested so far. The investigation has spread to Bhopal, Gwalior, Betul, Chhindwara and Pandhurna, where investigators are examining passport applications, addresses and documents allegedly used to obtain the travel documents. STF Deputy Inspector General Rahul Lodha on Monday told IANS that the agency was also examining a passport of an accused arrested in Nagpur, which was found to have been issued in Gujarat. So far, a total of 70 passports are under investigation in connection with the fake passport case. We have also included another passport of an accused arrested from Nagpur, which was found to have been issued in Gujarat. The investigation is still underway, Lodha said. The four arrested accused are from the Northeast, including Assam, and their identities and other details are being verified, he said. The investigation has revealed that several passport applications were allegedly made using the same or suspicious addresses, raising the possibility of an organised network. In Madhya Pradesh, fake passports have been issued from four to five districts. In Gwalior, 17 passports were fraudulently applied for from the same location in Semariya Tal area of Dabra. In Bhopal, 40 passports were issued using an address in Anna Nagar, Lodha said. The STF is examining the Bhopal cases in which 40 passports were allegedly issued using the address of a math in Anna Nagar under the Govindpura police station area. Investigators are verifying the documents and addresses submitted with the applications to establish how the passports were obtained and whether local facilitators or agents were involved. The STF is also examining the suspected inter-state links of the network and checking whether the passports under scrutiny are connected. The officer also shared that further action, including arrests, would follow if the ongoing investigation establishes the involvement of more persons or uncovers additional fraudulent passport applications. The probe is being extended to other locations to determine the full extent of the suspected racket, he added.

DRI seizes gold worth Rs 3 crore at Mumbai airport, four arrested
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 11 (IANS) In continuation of its operation against smuggling of precious metals, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has seized gold dust worth over Rs five crore and arrested four people, including two staffers, from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai, officials said on Friday. An official statement said that 3.5 kg of gold dust worth Rs 5.5 crore has been seized by the DRI, leading to the arrest of four people, including two staffers at the airport and two transit passengers. According to officials, the accused were allegedly part of an international gold smuggling syndicate operating through the airport in Mumbai. In a similar operation last month, the DRI seized gold worth over Rs three crore from a train passenger at Nagpur in Maharashtra. Upon receiving a tip-off that gold, smuggled across the India-Bangladesh border, was being transported further by train, a DRI Nagpur team conducted an operation at Nagpur Railway Station and detained a passenger. An official statement said that the passenger was arrested with 2.165 kg of gold. The estimated value of the seized gold is reported to be Rs 3.09 crore. According to the intelligence received, the gold had been smuggled into India via the India-Bangladesh border. DRI officials subsequently learned that the gold was to be transported to its next destination by an individual travelling on the 12102 Dnyaneshwari Express. Acting on this information, DRI Nagpur officials laid a trap at Nagpur Railway Station. The passenger was searched upon his arrival at the station, during which the concealed gold was discovered. Officials seized 16 gold bars from the accused passenger. The DRI recently conducted six significant operations in different locations across the country, resulting in the seizure of two leopard pelts, 180 live Indian Star Tortoises, 12 live Tokay Geckos, around 24 kg of pangolin scales and 500 grams of tiger bones. At least 13 persons were arrested across these six operations. DRI officers intercepted a person in Jeypore, Koraput district, Odisha, and recovered one leopard pelt from his possession. The leopard pelt and the apprehended person were handed over to the State Forest Department, Koraput, for further investigation and legal action under the Act.
