From Borgaon To Being Roped In By RCB For Rs 5.20 Crore: Mangesh Yadav's Surreal Tale
MPCA President Mahanaaryaman Scindia: When Mangesh Yadav's name flashed on the IPL 2026 auction broadcast in Abu Dhabi, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) locked horns in a fierce bidding war that would forever change the left-arm quick's life. Within seconds, his price rocketed from a base price of Rs 30 lakh to a staggering Rs 5.2 crore a staggering jump FOR pacer. Mangesh, a skiddy left-arm pacer consistently clocking 140 kmph with a sharp yorker in his repertoire, could barely process what had just unfolded. I was just thinking the first bid should happen and a team takes me in. I was very happy with the first bid from RCB. But within seconds in front of my eyes, SRH and RCB were bidding for me and it reached five crores, which was extremely astonishing. My parents back home were very happy. They were also getting calls from relatives, recalled Mangesh in an exclusive conversation with IANS. By the roadside in Noida, miles away from where his protege's life was being transformed, Phoolchand Sharma, who runs Wonders Cricket Club in Sector 34, was over the moon. I can't tell you how happy I was on seeing him get selected. Before that, a lot of my kids have played in IPL, but theres a different happiness for him. I did hope that he would be picked by any franchise in the auction. I have never met his father or mother, nor have I ever spoken to them. I have raised him like my own kid. Hes been a good boy from the start, a calm and hardworking kid. I gave him a lot of matches to play in Delhi, as well as in district leagues in Delhi and UP. Hes had a very long journey and is now seeing the fruits of being committed to that path, he told IANS. Mangeshs cricketing journey began in Borgaon village in Madhya Pradeshs Chhindwara district, not in an established academy but within the confines of his homes compound. As a six-year-old, he'd return home in tears after fighting with boys while playing. His mother Rita found a solution: she'd bowl to him in the compound and he would bat for as long as he wished for. From there, I started playing cricket regularly and it went on and on. I started bowling a little late with the left arm. But I used to see the bowling of Mitchell Johnson and RP Singh sir bowling and that served me with a lot of motivation, he said. As years went by, Mangesh's talent was remarkable. But in a family of six, including three sisters, his father Ramavadh drove trucks to make ends meet. Pursuing professional cricket seemed financially impossible till his maternal uncle convinced Ramavadh to let his son train seriously in cricket. After that, Mangesh headed to Noida to train under Sharma. The hostel fees was Rs 20,000 per month, well beyond his familys reach. What happened next would alter the trajectory of Mangesh's life. Sir saw my game and he liked it. He forgave my fees and told me to stay here and practice, so that was very helpful in my journey. My father has done so much for me. I didn't have any stress, I just wanted to play cricket, all the struggle was of my father. If it wasn't for Phoolchand sir, I wouldn't have been able to play cricket. The reality of Ramavadh's sacrifice was never lost on Mangesh. While Mangesh caught 4am trains for training and playing matches, his father was waking at the same time to begin another gruelling shift behind the wheel - navigating treacherous roads through the night with no fixed schedule. My father's struggle is unmatchable. I used to feel sad that I am going out to play, but the father is waking up daily in the morning, goes out to drive the truck in night through a lot of dangerous roads, though they are in a much better condition now. The academy evolved alongside Mangesh - from basic facilities to a comprehensive setup featuring gym, indoor nets, trainers and coaches. Apart from Shivam Mavi, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, India stars Jasprit Bumrah, Ashish Nehra and Hardik Pandya would drop in for net sessions at Sharmas academy when in Delhi-NCR. What immediately struck Sharma about Mangesh was the rarity of discovering a left-arm quick whose natural bowling action didn't require fundamental reconstruction. His bowling action reminded him of how Zaheer Khan bowled - smooth, repeatable, lethal. You do know that when a left-handed batter or bowler plays, there is an alag nazakat (different sheen) to it. Right from the rhythm of his run-up, he seemed like a perfect packaged bowler. We have to teach a lot of kids that you are running slow, head is falling over and rhythm is not good. But when he used to run and bowl, it was perfect action, like how Zaheer used to have. I used to like Zaheer's action and he was just like that. We worked on improvising it, he added. Small technical tweaks combined with natural athleticism gradually revealed a complete cricketer capable of consistently hitting 140kmph. The biggest thing is he had a lot of seniors to learn and get support from, like Anureet Singh, who played for IPL for many years, Mavi, and Bhuvneshwar. We caught some of his small shortcomings, or at times, other boys caught it. We developed his bowling slowly. He is a good fielder from the start. In between, when the kids used to go elsewhere, he used to hit long sixes. His hitting power has been very good, he added. Mangesh represented MP in U19 and U23 teams, but feared opportunities were slipping away without a proper platform to showcase his talent. Then came the Madhya Pradesh League - an initiative by current MPCA President Mahanaaryaman Scindia that proved to be transformative. Playing for Gwalior Cheetahs this year, Mangesh claimed 14 wickets to become the tournament's leading wicket-taker and IPL scouts took notice. I thought I would be late in grabbing my opportunity, but Scindia ji introduced the MP League and then I got the chance to perform. When I got good performances in it this year, everything has happened well from then onwards for me. Mangeshs three mentors - Anand Rajan, Tanmay Srivastava and Ankur Tyagi also stepped in to refine his game and mindset. Srivastava, an Under-19 World Cup winner for India in 2008 and now an active umpire, provided invaluable perspective to Mangesh, so as Rajan, who played for the state and in the IPL. I talk to Ankur Tyagi after every match - he is like a big brother to me. He has always supported and guided me in the right way. Due to all three of them, I have always improved in the right way, he said. Despite a disappointing debut in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT), MP head coach Chandrakant Pandit pushed him to showcase his batting abilities in the second match against Punjab. Mangesh grabbed the chance by hitting 28 off 12 balls, proving that he was more than just a bowler. My first match was not that good, but the captain backed me well, due to which I was amongst the wickets. Pandit sir told me 'Mangesh, you will also have to do some batting'. In the second game, he sent me up to bat and I was able to showcase my batting abilities, which felt really good. Before embarking to Pune for the tournaments Super League stage, Mangesh went through trials with RCB, Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals, and Mumbai Indians. Though he couldn't attend SRH and PBKS trials due to hectic schedule, the formers bowling coach, ex-India pacer Varun Aaron took notice of his skillsets. But now, landing at RCB means sharing a dressing room with the talismanic Virat Kohli - a childhood dream that Mangesh admits never seemed remotely possible. I always wanted to play under Virat sir's captaincy. But he is not doing it and I feel sharing the dressing room with him is a big deal. I never imagined that I would play alongside him and this set to become a reality is a great feeling. His recent experience under Patidar's captaincy during high-pressure SMAT games also keeps Mangesh in good stead. Cricket is tough if you think in mind about it and playing in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy is a lot of pressure, as you do know the likes of Prabhsimran Singh and Ishan Kishan are tough to bowl to. But all of this was made easy by playing under Rajat bhaiya's captaincy. The role he gave me, I managed to fulfill that and it made life easy. The visualization has already begun Mangesh standing at the top of his run-up in RCB's iconic red jersey, with the new ball in hand, enough to give him goosebumps. But the ultimate dream still remains to be wearing Indias blue jersey. How exciting it will be to wear the RCB jersey and have the ball in hand at the top of my run-up mark. I hope that this paves the way for me to wear the Indian team jersey and bowl the first ball for my country. That will be an out of the world feeling. Rather than dwelling on IPL's magnitude, Mangesh plans to focus on absorbing lessons from Kohli, Patidar and Venkatesh Iyer to improve his craft. We will have a team camp, where I will prepare alongside with Virat sir, Venky and Rajat bhaiyas. I will learn from them by playing a lot of practice matches and improve along the way. I will get to be in touch with them, so it is going to be very helpful for me. What separates Mangesh from India's impressive stable of fast bowlers, Sharma argues, isn't just his left-arm pace - it's being that rare quick offering genuine all-round capabilities. The biggest thing is India has a lot of fast bowlers, but you won't get a perfect package like him. I can count them - Arshdeep, Bumrah, Harshit Rana, Shami. All of them are good bowlers. They play for India because they are good. But they won't be a batter or fielder like them. It's not that he is my child. I am talking about the language of cricket. Being a cricketer, he is a perfect package. In the future, if God keeps him healthy, you will see him play for India in a year or two. The financial windfall from the life-changing IPL deal means Mangesh can fulfill his off-field aspirations. Marrying off his three sisters with pomp and splendour tops his priority list, followed by giving his father respite from decades of grueling truck driving work and buying a house to end the familys stay in a rented home. His message to aspiring cricketers reflects hard-earned wisdom - that talent alone isn't enough, that even strong performances don't guarantee selection, and that persistence matters more than immediate results. What I have felt through my cricketing journey is without struggle, you won't get anything. You won't get anything easy and if you're playing cricket, you'll have to put in more effort, including the double of what is expected usually, as there are times when you won't get selected even if you perform well. His message to aspiring cricketers reflects hard-earned wisdom - that talent alone isn't enough, that even strong performances don't guarantee selection, and that persistence matters more than immediate results.

Bulandshahr gang-rape case: All five convicts sentenced to life imprisonment
LUCKNOW: After nearly nine years of legal proceedings, five convicts of the Bulandshahr NH-91 gang rape case were sentenced to life imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 1.81 lakh each by the local court on Monday. Initially, 11 people were named as accused in the case, which pertained to a family that fell victim to brutal atrocities in 2016. Prime accused Salim Bawariya died during the course of the trial in 2019, while two other accused were killed in separate encounters by the STF. Those who were given lifer on Monday include Zubair and Sajid of Kannauj, and Dharamveer, Naresh and Sunil, residents of Farrukhabad. After the case was referred to the CBI, during its investigation, it found three accused to be innocent and dropped their names. The verdict was delivered by Additional District and Sessions Judge (POCSO) Om Prakash III, who termed the ruling significant in a case that had shocked the district. The court also ordered that the total fine amount be equally distributed between the two rape survivors. The horrific incident dates back to July 29, 2016, when a family of five was travelling by car from Noida to Shahjahanpur to attend a wedding function. As they reached near Dostpur village on National Highway-91 under the Bulandshahr Kotwali Dehat area, the attackers threw 'something' on their vehicle. After one of the family members got out of the car to see what had fallen on the car, over six to seven people attacked him, stopping the car by placing an iron rod on the road. The men then forced the family out of the vehicle and took them to nearby fields along with the car. The accused brutally gang-raped the woman and her daughter, while the other family members were kept hostage. The culprits then robbed the family of the ornaments and the cash before fleeing the spot. Speaking after the verdict, Additional District Government Counsel Varun Kaushik said the courts decision sent a strong message that such offenders must be kept away from society. Kaushik added that forensic evidence played a key role in securing the conviction. The most crucial evidence in this case was the DNA of one of the criminals found on the clothes of the gang rape victims mother, Kaushik said.

Five accused convicted in 2016 Bulandshahr gang rape case
Nearly a decade after a horrific crime that shook the nation, the city court at Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh convicted all five accused in the Bulandshahr gang rape case on Saturday. The case had sparked nationwide outrage in 2016. The Special Judge POCSO Case, Bulandshahr, has held all five accused identified as Juber, Sajid, Dharamvir, Naresh and Sunil Kumar guilty in the gang rape case. After the conclusion of the trial, the court found the accused persons guilty and will pronounce the sentence on December 22. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered the case in compliance with an order of the High Court of Allahabad whereby the probe in the case was transferred from Kotwali Dehat Police Station of Bulandshahr to the federal agency. The case pertains to a heinous incident involving rape, dacoity, wrongful confinement and penetrative sexual assault on a child. As per allegations, a group of five to six armed assailants forcibly took a family of six at gunpoint, looted cash and jewellery and subsequently held them captive in adjoining fields. The incident had taken place when six members of a Noida-based family were travelling to Shahjahanpur in UP. At the national highway passing through Bulandshahr, their car was stopped by criminals at Dostpur village. The assailants dragged the 13-year-old girl and her mother out and raped them in a field nearby. The victims and their entire family members identified the accused after they were shown around 50 photographs of criminals in the various areas in the area. The incident evoked a huge outcry and received widespread criticism over the law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh. The National Commission for Women also slammed the UP police for negligence and apathy to the point that there were mistakes even in the preparation of the FIR. After completion of the investigation, CBI filed a charge-sheet on November 5, 2016, against three accused persons before the Court of the Additional. District and Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge (POCSO Cases), Bulandshahr. Subsequently, a supplementary charge-sheet was filed on April 18, 2018, against three additional accused persons. During the pendency of the trial, one accused expired in judicial custody.
Words Said To Ishan About WC Selection Have Turned Into Reality, Says Childhood Coach Mazumdar
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Ishan Kishan's childhood coach, Uttam Mazumdar, said his words about the wicketkeeper-batter's selection for the T20 World Cup have urned into reality following the 26-year-old's inclusion in India's squad for the mega event and T20I series against New Zealand. Kishan, who topped the charts in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy with 517 runs and captained Jharkhand to the title, became a surprise replacement for Shubman Gill in Indias T20I squad. Those stupendous performances, including hitting 101 in the final against Haryana, and the team managements preference to have a back-up wicketkeeper-batter who could bat in the top order led to Kishans return to the national set-up. Mazumdar revealed he had told Kishan during Jharkhand's Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy knockouts campaign that a match-winning century in the final would secure his place in the World Cup squad, and he was glad that his student did exactly that. When the Jharkhand team qualified for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy knockouts, I told Ishan that, You have made a lot many runs. But if you hit a hundred in the final and make the team win the trophy, it should put your name in that team for the World Cup. It just came out of my mouth and I was literally manifesting that he has to be there in the team for the World Cup. He just did that and those words turned into reality today. It's a matter of pride and a very big pleasure for all of us because he was out of the set-up for two years. But then the way he led Jharkhand and won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, we are very happy and everyone is happy, Muzumdar told IANS from his Greater Noida academy at the SDRV School on Saturday. Kishans last game for India was the third T20I against Australia at Guwahati in November 2023, before being out of reckoning after taking a mental health break and even losing his BCCI central contract. Muzumdar received news of Kishans return to the Indian team after starting a religious ceremony for him. After the news of his selection came, I got a call in the afternoon, informing me about this. I didnt know of it before as I was busy with a puja since morning. We have organised a Bhagavad Gita paath for Ishan starting from today and it will go on for six days. Its definitely divine intervention that hes now in the World Cup squad, he added. Mazumdar feels the Kishan of 2025 has inner stillness and maturity as compared to his 2023 version, which reflects strongly in his recent consistent performances. A theraav (stillness) has come now in Ishan. Plus, maturity, patience and focus have come within him, due to which theres more consistency in his game. This is a very big thing because when there is consistency, stillness and determination in the game, everything starts to go well. It is a game of mindset and when that moves towards a very positive mindset at this level in the game, then a persons worldview also changes. So, that same thing happened with Ishan. He has also backed Kishan to be an automatic selection in Indias playing eleven and open the batting alongside in-form Abhishek Sharma. In all the competitions, Ishan has done very well. I don't think the team management will be able to put Ishan out of the playing eleven because of the calibre he has. The Indian T20I team needs such an explosive player. In T20Is, the power play is very important. So, I think Ishan will be very fit as far as those things are concerned. The team management should give him a chance to open with Abhishek. The rest will be seen later as we can also play two keepers in the playing eleven. We do know the kind of keeping Ishan does, added Muzumdar. Amidst a joyful two days for him, Muzumdar revealed he will speak to Kishan later in the day. I think I will talk to him only in the night. He was in Jharkhand for two days and had to meet the CM as well. The players were very happy because it was a historical win. It was a moment of wonder for a lifetime. All were uncapped players in the Jharkhand team and bringing all of them together to win the trophy as their captain, Ishan did that job really well. It was such a great achievement to win the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, considering there are a lot of formidable teams. To beat all of them and win the final, its a very big achievement. Mazumdar still fondly remembers the time when at the Moinul Ul Haq Stadium in Patna, Pranav Pandey approached him with a request to take a seven year old Kishan under his wing, a moment that would mark the beginning of a brilliant cricketing journey which has seen tons of highs and lows. Till date, Kishan maintains a ritual of seeking blessings of Muzumdar before playing big matches. Mazumdar, who fondly calls Kishan as Ishu, signed off by confidently affirming that the wicketkeeper-batter will have a big impact in Indias title defence in the T20 World Cup. Mazumdar still fondly remembers the time when at the Moinul Ul Haq Stadium in Patna, Pranav Pandey approached him with a request to take a seven year old Kishan under his wing, a moment that would mark the beginning of a brilliant cricketing journey which has seen tons of highs and lows. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The way his performances have been, I am sure the team management will use it to the fullest during the New Zealand series and the World Cup. I really believe they will use Ishan in this Indian team in a very good way. Article Source: IANS

Rush at PUC centres amid strict vigil and challans after restrictions kick in
NEW DELHI: Authorities at fuel stations and border check posts have stepped up enforcement a day after the Supreme Court tightened restrictions on vehicles with engines below BS-IV standards, and the Delhi government directed petrol pumps to refuse fuel to cars without a valid pollution under control (PUC) certificate. On Wednesday, the SC had ruled that only vehicles with BS-IV engines and above will be exempt from action amid worsening air pollution. The government announced that from Thursday, no non-BS VI private vehicle registered outside Delhi would be allowed into the city, and cars without a valid PUC certificate would be denied fuel. At the Delhi-Noida and Ghazipur borders, officials said challans ranging from Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000 are being issued to vehicles without a valid PUC. Cars entering Delhi from Noida or other neighbouring areas that are found to be below BS-IV or BS-VI standards are being turned back. We are checking the PUC certificates, especially in the case of older model cars and are imposing necessary fines on them, a traffic official at the Delhi-Noida border said. Since the ban came into effect, we have found very few such vehicles crossing the border area today, a traffic police official at the Ghazipur border added. Yet, enforcement continued in real time. While the official spoke, a BS IV vehicle was stopped, and a challan was issued. Fuel stations across the city saw heightened checking. The surge in inspections caused queues to form at on-site pollution check centres. At an HP fuel station in East Delhi, employees said, We are asking for pollution certificates before giving fuel, but we first start providing the fuel and then ask for the certificate. In case they do not have the certificate, we are asking them to get it done in the pollution centre beside our station. This loophole allowed some drivers to refuel before being sent to get a PUC. After heightened vigilance, one car was stopped and asked to present a certificate before refuelling. Delhi Transport Corporation employees stationed at a petrol pump in Ghazipur (NH24 IFC) reported facing resistance from vehicle owners while checking PUCs. A DTC employee said, We must be provided with an authorisation letter from the transport department regarding this and also a pollution check machine to carry out the work.
