Stay In Your Domain: Gambhir Slams IPL Team Owner After ODI Series Win
Gautam Gambhir: Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir, under scrutiny following the recent Test series defeat to South Africa, delivered a fiery rebuttal to critics after India clinched the ODI series 21 with a dominant nine-wicket victory over the Proteas in the third and final match of the series in Visakhapatnam on Saturday. His strongest remarks were seemingly directed at Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal, who had publicly advocated for a split-coaching structure in Indian cricket. Addressing the media after the series win, Gambhir, who highlighted the absence of skipper Shubman Gill, sidelined with a neck injury, as a key factor in Indias Test series loss, asserted that individuals outside the cricketing ecosystem should refrain from commenting on matters beyond their expertise. He said: I am surprised that no one was talking about this (Gill's unavailability to bat) and all the discussions were around the pitch and many other things. There were people who had nothing to do with cricket also giving their opinions. An IPL team owner also wrote about a split coaching staff who had nothing to do with the game. People should stay in their domain. If I do not enter anybodys domain, they also have no right to enter my domain. Confirming Gills availability for the upcoming T20Is, Gambhir added: Shubman is ready to gothats why hes been selected. Hes fit, hungry to work, and improve. And look, there are quality players on this side. As Ive said many times, they are world-class players.

'Fought Hard For This One,' Writes Kuldeep Yadav After India Win ODI Series With SA
Kuldeep Yadav: India's left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav has put out a message on social media, asserting that the team has fought hard to bag the ODI series against South Africa 2-1 after winning the third and final match by nine wickets with a dominant display at the ACA-VDCa Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Saturday. Kuldeep claimed 4-41 and, along with Prasidh Krishna (4-65), helped bundle out South Africa for 270 despite a super century by Quinton de Kock, who hammered a 89-ball 106 and a 67-ball 48 by skipper Temba Bavuma. Fought hard for this one, said Kuldeep Yadav in a story on his Instagram handle. Earlier, Kuldeep said he enjoyed bowling with a dry ball after KL Rahul won the toss and chose to bowl first, thus avoiding the dew that had affected their bowling in the first two matches of the three-match series. We started well, Arshdeep and Harshit, they kept tight lines in seven-eight overs. When spinners came, it was a bit gripping. Tried to mix the pace. Bowling with a dry ball is a luxury after the first two games. We lost 20 successive tosses; finally, we won it (toss). Very happy, said Yadav after helping India bowl out South Africa. Yadav had a near-animated discussion with skipper K.L. Rahul and Rohit Sharma as he pleaded with them to use DRS in the last couple of overs of his 10-over spell. Yadav admitted that he is not that good with the DRS, and Rohit keeps pulling his leg for that. Yadav had a near-animated discussion with skipper K.L.

I tried variations too - legspin, googly, flipper, said Kuldeep Yadav. Article Source: IANS

Yashasvi Jaiswal: Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was relieved to score his maiden ODI century in helping India to a nine-wicket victory against South Africa in the third and final ODI and a 2-1 series win in Visakhapatnam on Saturday, finally being able to convert the start he got. Jaiswal hammered an unbeaten 116 off 121 balls, studded with 12 fours and two sixes and with Rohit Sharma (75, 73b, 7x4, 3x6) and Virat Kohli (65*, 45b, 6x4, 3x6) as India raced to 271/1 in 39.5 overs after the bowlers led by Kuldeep Yadav (4-41) and Prasidh Krishna (4-65) had helped the hosts bundle out South Africa for a modest 270. With this, Jaiswal became the sixth Indian batter to score hundreds in all three formats of the game, and at 23 is the youngest to do so. Adjudged the Player of the Match for his superb effort, Jaiswal said he gained confidence from the chats he had in the middle with Rohit and Virat. I really enjoyed (scoring 100), grateful and blessed. Rohit and I have chatted a lot about how we play and what tempo to go with. I've been unable to convert starts. I was only thinking of how to balance the innings. Sometimes I need to be more attacking and sometimes get singles and consolidate. I have to control my thoughts, where and what shots I can play. I need to go after bowlers, knowing when I need to do that helps, said Jaiswal at the post-match presentation ceremony after India won the series 2-1. Adjudged the Player of the Match for his superb effort, Jaiswal said he gained confidence from the chats he had in the middle with Rohit and Virat.

Healing beyond pills: Bihar witnesses rise in unconventional medicare practices
As India: As India thrashed South Africa by nine wickets in the series-deciding third and final ODI match to win the series 2-1, India's stand-in skipper K.L. Rahul said he and his teammates were happier with him for winning the toss after 20-odd games. Rahul lost the toss in the first two matches of this series, and India had to bowl second in both the matches, their bowlers hampered by the copious amount of dew that drenches the field at this time of the year, making bowling with the wet ball a lot difficult. The hosts won the first match by 17 runs in Ranchi and lost the second by four wickets in Raipur. Winning the toss on Saturday meant Rahul chose to bowl first in Visakhapatnam, and the Indian bowlers excelled, operating with a dry ball, dismissing South Africa for 270, whereas the first two matches produced scores close to 350. I don't think the team has looked at me more proudly after the toss. We got tough conditions in the first two games, glad to give bowlers a break on a tough outfield. The surface was good, we picked wickets in bunches, said KL Rahul before receiving the trophy for winning the series 2-1. Kuldeep Yadav (4-41) and Prasidh Krishna (4-66) grabbed four wickets apiece as India made the most of the opportunity to bowl with a dry ball. Rahul was especially happy with Prasidh Krishna's effort as the bowler had come under severe flak after being carted around in the first two matches. We know with teams that go hard, it can be chasing 400 or playing one too many shots and getting out. Prasidh picked 2-3 wickets, which was crucial, then Kuldeep. That's how you contain teams in ODIs, said Rahul, who scored half-centuries in the first two matches of the series. He said the wicket of South Africa opener Quinton de Kock was crucial on Saturday as he had scored a century off 80 balls and was looking very dangerous, hoping to change gears and attack the bowling. If he had managed that, South Africa could have posted a massive total and put India under pressure.

Jaiswal Smashes Maiden ODI Ton as India Crush South Africa to Seal Series 2-1
Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal hit his maiden one-day international century as India clinched the three-match series 2-1 with a crushing nine-wicket win over South Africa on Saturday. Chasing 271 for victory, India rode on Jaiswal's unbeaten 116 and his opening stand of 155 with Rohit Sharma, who hit 75, to achieve the target with 10.1 overs to spare in Visakhapatnam. The left-handed Jaiswal reached his hundred in 111 balls as he jumped in joy and raised the bat to soak in the applause in just his fourth ODI since his debut earlier this year. Virat Kohli, who struck back-to-back hundreds in the previous two matches, hit the winning boundary to return unbeaten on 65 off 45 balls to entertain the weekend crowd. The 23-year-old Jaiswal, who now has tons in all three international formats, struggled at the start with Rohit leading the batting charge to raise his 61st ODI half-century. Rohit got past 20,000 international runs during the knock to be only the fourth Indian after Sachin Tendulkar, Kohli and Rahul Dravid to achieve the feat. Left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj cut short Rohit's innings after seven fours and three sixes in his 73-ball knock. Jaiswal switched gears after his fifty and hit a string of boundaries to ease into the target. In-form Kohli bossed the opposition bowling with six fours and three sixes to end the series with 302 runs. Bowlers set up victory after left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav and fast bowler Prasidh Krishna took four wickets each to bowl out South Africa for 270 in 47.5 overs. With the series level on 1-1, India finally won an ODI toss after losing 20 in a row as skipper KL Rahul broke the scarcely believable jinx and put South Africa in to bat. Opener Quinton de Kock made 106 off 89 balls as South Africa looked set for a big total at 168-2 but the batting collapsed. Left-handed De Kock raised his seventh ODI ton against India with a six off Harshit Rana and finished his knock with eight fours and six hits over the fence. Krishna struck twice in one over including Matthew Breetzke for 24 and Aiden Markram for one, before he bowled De Kock soon after the batsman's attacking hundred. Dewald Brevis, who hit 29, and Marco Jansen (17) attempted to rebuild the innings in their stand of 35 but Kuldeep sent the two back in the space of three deliveries to once again swing the momentum in India's favour. Kuldeep (4-41) and Krishna combined to bowl out the opposition with Maharaj unbeaten on 20. The ODI triumph comes after a 2-0 Test whitewash of India against South Africa with the team boosted by the presence of Kohli and Rohit -- the two stalwartswho play just the 50-over format after their T20 and Test retirements.

But Prasidh Krishna: South Africa's Quinton de Kock hammered his 23rd century but India came back strongly with spinner Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna claiming four wickets apiece to restrict them to 270 all out in the series-deciding third and final ODI at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Saturday. De Kock, who played cautiously initially before changing gears, scored 106 off 89 balls, studded with eight fours and six maximums, but Kuldeep picked his ninth four-wicket haul in ODIs and helped India reel in the rampaging Proteas batters, who at one time were looking on course to take the visitors past the 300-run mark in the third successive ODI. Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep claimed 4-41, including Marco Jansen (17) and Dewald Brevis in an eventful 39th over to help India wrap up the tail in a series in which the first two matches produced massive scores. With the series tied 1-1 after India won the first game by 17 runs and South Africa returned the favour in the second, the third match is the series decider that both teams want to win. Asked to bat first after the Indian captain won the toss after 20 consecutive losses, South Africa lost Ryan Rickelton (0) in the first over to Arshdeep Singh, but Quinton de Kock struck a superb hundred, and with help from skipper Temba Bavuma (48) and Matthew Breetzke (24), helped the visitors reach a strong position at 168/2. Together with captain Temba Bavuma, de Kock scored 113 runs for the second wicket partnership and then, with Matthew Breetzke, shared a 54-run stand to reach his century off 80 balls in the 30th over of SA's innings. De Kock now shares the top spot with de Villiers, who has seven centuries to his name, ahead of West Indies legend Chris Gayle, who has scored six centuries in India. De Kock has amassed 23 ODI hundreds while serving as a designated wicketkeeper. As a designated keeper, he has tied with Kumar Sangakkara, who also hit 23 centuries. Currently, this is the designated keepers' joint-highest total of hundreds. But Prasidh Krishna, who was taken to cleaners in 0-27 in two overs in his first spell, redeemed himself a bit by trapping Breetzke for a run-a-ball 24 (2x6) to trigger a collapse, as South Africa lost three quick wickets to have half of their side in the dugout for 199 runs. Prasidh Krishna, in his second spell, continued his fightback by having Aiden Markram, who scored a hundred in the previous match, lob a slower one to Virat Kohli for one, and then got the massive wicket of Quinton de Kock, the South African opener playing all over a fast and full delivery and seeing his middle-stump sent cartwheeling. Dewald Brevis (29) and Marco Jansen (17) added 35 runs for the sixth wicket, but Kuldeep changed the complexion of the game by getting both batters in the space of three balls to turn things in India's favour. Kuldeep, who bowled with great control and mixed up his deliveries, got Brevis with a wrong'un pitched outside the off-stump, and the South African spooned it up to Rohit Sharma at midwicket. A ball later, Kuldeep had another one as Jansen tried to hit out a well-tossed up delivery with a cross-batted shot, only to be caught by Ravindra Jadeja at deep midwicket. Keshav Maharaj struck a couple of fours in his unbeaten 20, but Kuldeep added Corbin Bosch (9) and Lungi Ngidi to his victims, and Prasidh Krishna returned for his third spell and bowled Ottneil Baartman (3) to leave India needing 271 runs to win the match and seal a 2-1 series win. The Indian bowlers initially got the stick but came back strongly in the middle-overs to wrap up the South African innings with two overs to spare.

NDA slams Tejashwi for skipping many sittings in winter session of Assembly
PATNA: The ruling NDA on Friday launched a blistering attack on the Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Bihar Assembly and RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav for skipping majority of sittings in the state assemblys winter session. The Assemblys winter session had five sittings, but Tejashwi participated in the proceedings for only first two days. Since then, he was conspicuous by his absence in the House proceedings that concluded on Friday. It is worth noting that Tejashwi chose to give the swearing-in ceremony of the new NDA government held at the historic Gandhi Maidan on November 20 a miss. Reports claim that he is out on a European trip with his family, only weeks after the partys dismal performance in the elections. RJD managed to win only 25 of the 143 seats that it contested. While slamming Tejashwi for not participating in the proceedings of the House said, JD(U) chief spokesperson and MLC Neeraj Kumar said, The temple of democracy doesnt appear good without the LoP. Whether Tejashwi was unwell, had a court matter to attend, or was simply avoiding the House due to political embarrassment after the election results, he jibed.

See Change : All Living Things Environmental Film Festival to highlight environmental issues
While its easy to fall into nihilism about the environmental crisis, as corporations and governments bigger and more powerful than us go back and forth on environmental action, individuals and communities across the world are deciding that enough is enough and taking charge of their environment. It is this spirit of resilience that All Living Things Environmental Film Festival (ALT EFF) is set to showcase with over 86 films from 39 countries to be screened across Indian cities, kicking off with a two-day event in Bengaluru. You wont find films that are the classic David Attenborough-style nature documentaries here. We are looking for new perspectives, hyperlocal voices, under-represented geographies, films that provide audiences with an insight into the scale and nuance of this globally unprecedented change in the environment, says the festivals founder Kunal Khanna, adding, When we watch these films, theres a sense of hope, direction, and inspiration to make change. This weekend, Bengalureans can see films being screened along with panel discussions and live performances, Beware of Plastic Asura: A Yakshagana performance being one. A major highlight will be a set of three Australian films on show through a collaboration with the Australian Consulate in Bengaluru. Khanna elaborates, One film, Ngarridurndeng Kured , is about the indigenous culture of Australia, the longest living culture in the world that has continued to live in the same traditional ways for over 30,000 years now and the implications of that in the modern world. Another, titled Future Council follows eight kids on a road trip across Europe to meet with powerful leaders and find solutions to our greatest ecological challenges. An interesting feature will be an immersive installation that allows visitors to experience the feeling of being in Australias forests. Indian films too, in languages from Kannada, Marwadi, and Bengali to Garo and Khasi, will be screened, many of which are India premieres. Other highlights include Mushroom Keepers , exploring the relationship indigenous people in Meghalaya share with the fungi and Miyazaki Spirit of Nature about Studio Ghibli filmmaker Hayao Miyazakis depiction of nature in his films. Miyazaki Spirit of Nature depicts Studio Ghibli filmmaker Hayao Miyazakis connection with nature This year, a new initiative seeks to make the films at ALT EFF more accessible with watch parties that anyone can sign up to host, as long as they have a space, an internet connection, and people to watch with. We wanted to further democratise the experience with watch parties anyone can become a host and use their own space to bring a community together and have informed climate conversations. There are eight bundles of films, all with around three hours of watch time to choose from, explains Khanna. On the last day of the festival, Dec 14, another ALT EFF event will allow a small group of Bengalureans to sign up for a trip to Channapatna hosted with Local Narratives, that adds a new layer of understanding to the concerns explored in the films, Khanna says, People will get to stay the night, watch films and engage in discussions (with artisans). Its a full immersion where people can experience the traditional way of making handicrafts and relate them back to the film. (The festival will take place at Bangalore International Centre on Dec 6 and 7, from 12pm onwards. For more information, visit alteff.in)

NEW DELHI: Agitated passengers thronged IndiGo counters across the three terminals of Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) on Friday after the airline announced the cancellation of all its 235 domestic flights from the city. The airline, with a 64.1 percent market share, cancelled over 1,000 flights across the country on Friday leading to chaos at airports nationwide. By afternoon, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which takes care of airport security, denied entry inside the terminals to any passenger holding an IndiGo flight ticket. The CISF has brought in its entire platoon of reserve personnel to manage the situation. Leaves of all CISF cops have also been cancelled, said a source. Many were spotted near the staff to offer them security. The airline has been asked to open more counters and deploy more manpower across the airports to tend to passenger queries, he added. Additional police staff from the IGIA police station were also brought to the terminals to keep everything under control, said a police source. While Terminal 1 operates roughly 150 flights, T2 operates 50 and T3 the rest. The cancellation was abruptly announced for a 24-hour period from 12 midnight until 11.59 pm on Friday despite IndiGo announcing a day earlier that it would curtail flight operations from December 8. The worst affected were transit passengers who had reached Delhi on their way to other cities but were stuck inside the terminal. Airfares surge tenfold on certain routes as IndiGo cancels 1,000 flights on Friday Jahangir Sheikh and 14 others, natives of West Bengal who are employed in Jeddah, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, reached here on Thursday afternoon and were still at the airport until late Friday evening pleading for a flight with IndiGo staff. We get a long leave to visit our families once every two years. Two days have been spent at the airport now and IndiGo says they will be able to help us only on December 8, Sheikh told this reporter. Imagine sitting in an airport building instead of being with your family. No one in IndiGo is helping us here, he charged. A 22-strong group comprising a few parents, teachers and 12 boys who were on the way from Punjab to Vishakapatnam to take part in a national tournament were stuck at the airport for nearly 12 hours on Friday. Teacher Nidhi Nandwana said, We had to be at Vishakapatnam for the five-day hockey tournament starting today. We reached Delhi at 7 am and learnt all flights have been cancelled today. The boys are very upset as they are the best in Punjab and selected across schools. We have pleaded with the organizers to give us time till tomorrow to reach. But staff are saying no alternative flights can be arranged today or tomorrow. Passengers are upset and angry. They are raising slogans against the airline in frustration, an airport official said. A large number of passengers were also desperately crowding counters of Air India, Air India Express and SpiceJet to see if they could get tickets there. Passengers from arriving flights were stuck too as they could not get their baggage. The baggage of hundreds is stuck and they want to collect them before leaving, the official said. Even the baggage from cancelled flights checked in already needs to be retrieved, he added. Centre orders high-level probe into IndiGo flight chaos, expects restoration of all services in three days

Malayali women's Kashmir adventure fuelled by teen love for thump
It was something they had dreamt of since they were teenagers. A dream that sprouted from a shared fascination for motorcycles, and the thump. They wanted to be riders. For Shyni C V, that passion has now become as essential as breathing. For Uma Mahesh, the enduring love has slowly turned into a realisation. And for Nishi Khan, it felt like finally coming home. The three women, all in their 40s, recently completed a Kanniyakumari-to-Kashmir ride. That teenage dream has now evolved into a lifestyle for the trio. Uma, who heads a business in Kochi, knew how to ride a motorcycle by 18. But she mustered the confidence to get one for herself only last year. When I was a young woman, people looked at me differently for riding a motorcycle, she recalls. Stare I got meant I had to stop. And I was given a gender-appropriate two-wheeler instead. But the call of the thump persisted. After years spent building a career and family, she finally decided to go full throttle. I met Shyni, who is an ace rider. She had done five all-India trips, Uma says. Nishi Khan, Shyni C V and Uma Mahesh pose in front of the CRPF camp in Jammu Nishi, too, received her licence as soon as she turned 18. But I was never able to buy a motorcycle for myself, she rues. It was during the lockdown that I rekindled my dream, thanks in part to social media reels. Soon, she bought her dream machine. She also came to know of Shyni during a Womens Day celebration. Quite poetic, isnt it? The trio soon decided to embark on an adventure: a Kanniyakumari-to-Kashmir ride with a cause Say No To Drugs. Among riders in India, Shyni is a familiar figure. Her driving school in Thiruvananthapuram trains women to ride motorcycles. And taking Nishi and Uma on their maiden long-distance ride is something she was always happy to do. The trio set off from Kanniyakumari. But as we started crossing geographies, things became difficult, recalls Uma. What kept us on the road was that thrill, that excitement of reaching a new place. They reached Delhi amid a flood. Our planned schedule drowned in the waters and we were stuck there for a week, Nishi says. Rain followed them all the way to Kashmir. There were floods. All the roads were damaged. It was pouring everywhere, says Uma. The trio at Kanniyakumari It took the trio 20 days to cover over 3,400km from Kanniyakumari to Kashmir. After spending a few days there, Uma returned to Kochi via Goa and Nishi took a detour from Chandigarh with another biker group headed to Ladakh, before returning to Thiruvananthapuram. Shyni, who accompanied Uma till Goa, headed back to Rajasthan for another impromptu all-India ride. Called the first woman Iron Butt of India, she is on her sixth cross-country trip. I reached Guwahati from Patna today. And after speaking at a school to students about the dark side of drugs and addiction, I will ride on first to the ongoing Hornbill Festival in Nagaland, and then to Arunachal Pradesh, Shyni says over phone. Inspired, Uma and Nishir are dreaming of even more journeys.
