1st T20I: Bumrah Back In The Mix As Afghanistan Prepare To host India In India (preview)
Arun Jaitley Stadium: The Indian team's nets session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday night offered a small, telling picture. Under lights, after a drizzle pushed back its start, Jasprit Bumrah was running in off a longish, sometimes short, run-up and bowling properly. The atmosphere lightened when he got into a brief, absorbing scrap with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who had taken him for six off the first ball he faced from him in the IPL and appears not to have been told to respect bowlers since. This time, Bumrah beat the bat and then speared a yorker past him. It looked less like a man testing his knee than like one finding his rhythm after missing the third ODI against England and the two Tests in Sri Lanka because of an impact injury to his left knee while fielding in Cardiff. But the broader story of Sundays clash is not just about India or Bumrah. For years, the answer to where Afghanistan played their home games was India. With no infrastructure back home to speak of, India provided them with grounds in Greater Noida, Dehradun and Lucknow. Their inaugural Test, six years ago, was in Bengaluru and, ironically, against India. The BCCI and the wider Indian ecosystem were foundational to their rise to become a force to be reckoned with in international cricket. On Sunday, Afghanistan will officially host India in a bilateral series for the first time. The hosting rights are administrative, but the significance is not. Asia Cups and World Cups have produced fine contests, and India hosted them bilaterally two years ago in a series that ended with a double super over in Bengaluru. What is new here is the direction. Afghanistan are the home side, and India the visitors, in what is usually Indias own backyard. The familiarity with New Delhi runs deeper for Afghanistan apart from the strong Afghan diaspora based in the national capital, it is the city where they upstaged England at the 2023 ODI World Cup, sending everyone into a frenzy. Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi and Rahmanullah Gurbaz became well known in Indian stadiums during IPL summers. On Sunday, they will use that knowledge against India, before a crowd that will clap for both teams. Afghanistan no longer arrive as inspiring underdogs seeking exposure, but as a strong T20 outfit with a spin ensemble capable of unravelling the most formidable line-ups. In Ibrahim Zadran, Gurbaz and Sediqullah Atal, they have the batting to exploit the short square boundaries here, though the middle order needs to shed its inconsistency. Under Zadran, the newly appointed captain, and new coach Richard Pybus, they are starting again in the format after an early exit at the T20 World Cup. Having trained at the Yamuna Sports Complex before, Afghanistan later moved to practising at the venue that is their home until Thursday. India's reply with the bat is playing at an aggressive tempo through an order that runs deep, but against Rashid, Nabi and Noor Ahmad, they must be at their sharpest in the middle overs. The unresolved part is the top of that order. Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Sooryavanshi cannot all be accommodated without somebody moving, and the answer matters: India have lost six of their 10 T20Is this year since Shreyas Iyer took charge. Ishan Kishan, off a double hundred that carried East Zone to the Duleep Trophy, looked the most fluent against spin, though the back he pulled up with on Friday leaves his availability open. Iyer, Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube and Axar Patel also batted well, and must elevate the score depending on the start their top-order gets. The depth, at least, is returning. Bumrah and Varun Chakaravarthy are back, Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy added, and India is close to full strength after a spate of injuries. Bumrah and Sooryavanshi have never played a T20I together, a marker of how quickly this side turns over. While finding their feet in international cricket, Afghanistan played many of their games on Indian grounds. On Sunday, they are the hosts, and India are visitors in all but name. Bumrah will run in under these same lights to bowl at a team who honed their skills here in Afghanistans early years of international cricket. Nobody arranged any of this out of kindness, and that is precisely what has changed. Through relentless work and big-stage performances, Afghanistan have earned the right to stand shoulder to shoulder with any team in the world, including the current T20 World Cup holders and their visitors at Kotla for the next six days, India.

UP T20 League: Kashi Rudras reflect on playoff run, emergence of young talent
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 11 (IANS) Two-time champions Kashi Rudras owner Sanjeev Garg said their fourth Uttar Pradesh T20 League campaign was a journey defined by immense team resilience and the promising rise of a new generation of local cricketers, following their fourth consecutive playoff appearance.v The Yan Consultancy-owned franchise rebounded from a mid-season slump of four consecutive defeats to finish third in the league standings and sealed their playoff berth with a 56-run victory over table-toppers Meerut Mavericks. Their campaign eventually came to an end in a hard-fought Eliminator, where they fell short by just one run to Noida Kings. This season once again demonstrated the character and fighting spirit that define Kashi Rudras. The way the team responded after a difficult phase in the league and finished strongly against the table-toppers showed the resilience within this group, Garg said in a statement on Friday. The season highlighted several outstanding individual efforts, starting with skipper Karan Sharma, who claimed the Orange Cap as the tournament's leading run-scorer with 361 runs, including a league-high 26 sixes, a 51-ball 102 against Noida Super Kings, and a 92 off 48 balls against Gorakhpur Lions. On the bowling front, Atal Bihari Rai led the attack with 15 wickets. However, it was the breakthrough of young players that stood out as the major takeaway for the franchise. 19-year-old left-arm spinner Kartik Yadav enjoyed a stellar season with 11 wickets, anchored by a match-winning 3-for-12 spell against Meerut Mavericks. Youngsters Sangam Singh, pacer Rishabh Rajput, and batter Virat Jaiswal also stepped up to showcase the franchise's squad depth. Karans Orange Cap-winning campaign and the performances of our experienced players were outstanding, but what excites us equally is the emergence of young talent. Youngsters have shown tremendous promise and have given us a glimpse of what this group can achieve in the years ahead. We will take the learnings from this season, continue to back our players and return with the same ambition and determination to bring another championship to Kashi Rudras, added Garg.

Noida: Inter-state vehicle theft gang busted; 10 stolen bikes and illegal weapons seized
Digital Desk | Noida, Sep 10 (IANS) The city police busted an inter-state vehicle theft gang on Thursday and recovered multiple stolen vehicles after apprehending two suspects for the crime. A total of 10 stolen motorcycles, two illegal knives, and a fake number plate were recovered from their possession. According to police, the accused used to steal motorcycles after conducting recce in the Delhi-NCR region. Their modus operandi included stealing vehicles from the neighbourhood and then hiding it at some secret locations. The suspects came under the police's lens when the latter launched an operation against bike lifters in Sector-63 of Noida.

During interrogation, they agreed to swap stolen motorcycles and also used these bikes for mobile phone snatching incidents. After committing the crimes, the stolen motorcycles would be sold to passersby at low prices. The police are currently gathering details about all the recovered motorcycles and trying to determine how many of them were stolen from various parts of Delhi-NCR.

Chennai Open: Ajeetesh Sandhu opens two-shot lead
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 9 (IANS) Ajeetesh Sandhu fired a six-under 66 to open a two-shot lead after the second round of the INR 1 crore Chennai Open 2026, here at the TNGF Cosmo Golf Course. The 37-year-old from Chandigarh (65-66), who began the day sharing the lead, made eight birdies against two bogeys to reach 13-under 131 at the halfway stage. Sandhu, a five-time winner on the DP World PGTI and a former Asian Tour champion, moved two strokes clear of overnight co-leader Stepan Danek. The 29-year-old Czech Republic golfer (65-68) made six birdies and two bogeys in a four-under 68 to take sole possession of second place at 11-under 133. Delhis Rashid Khan (66-68), winner of the Telangana Open in Vikarabad two weeks ago, occupied third place at 10-under 134. His four-under 68 included an eagle on the par-five 18th, four birdies and two bogeys. Sandhu played both nines in three-under but particularly enjoyed the front nine, which was his second nine of the day, because it contains some of the courses more demanding holes. The front nine is a little trickier and has a few holes that really demand your attention, Sandhu said. I managed to make birdies on a couple of those holes, so that was enjoyable. Sandhu felt he struck the ball better than during the opening round and found his rhythm earlier. A couple of timely par saves helped him settle before his late setback, a three-putt bogey on the eighth. Overall, it was a pretty solid round, he said. I found my rhythm early and made a couple of important saves, which helped build momentum. After that, it was fairly smooth sailing. The three-putt bogey on the eighth was disappointing, but there are still two rounds to play. This is Sandhus first appearance at the TNGF Cosmo Golf Course. His only previous tournament in Chennai came during his first season as a professional. I liked the course as soon as I played it during the Pro-Am, he said. It suits my eye. It is tree-lined and tricky, so Im pleased with how Ive played so far. Sandhu has also enjoyed the local cuisine, turning to idlis and dosas as part of his preparation for the humid conditions. Im a big fan of South Indian food, he said. Ive been having plenty of dosas and idlis, especially at breakfast. Idlis are good fuel for the round, so Ill continue with that. Current Race to DP World India Championship leader Saptak Talwar (67-68) moved up from tied sixth to tied fourth at nine-under 135, alongside Noida golfers Gaurav Pratap Singh (69-66) and Amardeep Malik (67-68). Defending champion N Thangaraja of Sri Lanka followed his opening 69 with a 70 to move into a share of 11th place at five-under 139. The halfway cut fell at even-par 144, with 52 players from the field of 132 advancing to the final two rounds.

Jodhpur High Court building case: 7 arrested, 1 detained after SIT probe into construction defects
Digital Desk | Jodhpur, Sep 9 (IANS) Jodhpur Police have arrested seven people and detained an eighth in connection with an investigation into alleged irregularities and serious construction defects in the new Rajasthan High Court building in Jodhpur. Police Commissioner Anshuman Bhomia outlined the investigation and arrests at a Press conference. According to police, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) found the roles of the construction company, firms and individuals associated with the fire-safety system, and officials responsible for supervising the project to be suspicious. Construction of the new High Court building began in 2011 and the structure was handed over in 2019, according to the police. Various defects were reported after the handover, including the collapse of false ceilings, a fire in Courtroom No. 2, cracks in the central dome and damage to pillars. Several institutions, including IIT Jodhpur, IIT Bombay and PTMES, subsequently conducted audits and surveys to assess the condition of the building. Following the findings, police constituted an SIT to conduct a detailed investigation. Samples were collected from the building and sent for forensic examination, while expert opinions were also sought. Police said the investigation raised questions about the role of companies supplying construction materials, agencies involved in executing the work, and individuals responsible for installing the fire-safety system. The role of officials of the Rajasthan State Road Development and Construction Corporation (RSRDC), who were responsible for overseeing and supervising the project, also came under scrutiny. According to the Police Commissioner, the investigation found evidence pointing to alleged criminal breach of trust involving officials. Police formed 12 special teams and four cyber teams to trace the suspects. Raids were conducted at multiple locations in Rajasthan, including Jodhpur, Jaipur, Kota, Bundi and Ajmer, as well as in Alwar, Delhi-NCR, Gurugram, Noida, Patiala and Kapurthala in Punjab, and Haridwar in Uttarakhand. Police said Varendra Garg, owner of VCL Group/Varendra Construction Company, the primary construction firm associated with the project, was detained in Haridwar late on Monday night. According to police, Garg had been changing locations to evade arrest. He was traced with the help of technical surveillance and coordination with police in other states. Jodhpur Police had announced a reward of 50,000 for information leading to his arrest. Police said eight individuals have been located in connection with the case. Seven have been arrested, while the process of arresting the eighth suspect was underway. Those arrested include Jitendra Sharma, then Assistant Engineer with RSRDC; Naveen Rai, then Project Manager with RSRDC; Rameshwar Dayal and Gopal Lal, who were associated with the installation of the fire-safety system; Deepak Mittal, formerly with RSRDC and currently an Executive Engineer in Jaipur; and Ajay Kishan Mutha, then Assistant Engineer with RSRDC. Police said the arrested accused have been taken on remand and are being questioned. Investigators said further action could follow if the enquiry establishes the involvement of additional individuals, officials or companies.
