MGMMCH gets dedicated water supply system after 16-month shortage
There was a time when the question of Bollywoods biggest superstar inevitably revolved around the three Khans. Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan dominated the conversation for decades, with each enjoying extraordinary box-office success. But as Hindi cinema prepares for the release of Ramayana, an interesting question arises: Is Ranbir Kapoor finally ready to challenge this hierarchy? Ranbirs rise has been anything but straightforward. Unlike several stars whose careers have been built around a recognisable commercial formula, Ranbir has constantly experimented. He has played a troubled musician in Rockstar, a charming young man in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, a conflicted son in Animal and now takes on the responsibility of portraying Lord Rama in Ramayana. The numbers demonstrate just how far he has travelled. Sanju (2018) opened at Rs. 34.75 crores and went on to collect Rs. 342.53 crores in India. Five years later, Animal (2023) took an extraordinary opening of Rs. 63.80 crores and finished with Rs. 556.36 crores. Between the two came Brahmastra (2022), which opened at Rs. 36 crores and collected Rs. 257.44 crores. These films also highlight something interesting about Ranbirs career. His biggest successes havent necessarily followed the same template. Sanju was a biographical drama, Brahmastra was a fantasy spectacle, while Animal was an intense, adult-oriented action drama. The common factor was Ranbirs ability to attract audiences to substantially different cinematic experiences. However, the journey hasnt been without setbacks. Shamshera (2022) managed just Rs. 42.48 crores in its lifetime despite its large-scale action setting. This demonstrates that Ranbirs name alone cannot guarantee success. Like every other superstar, he still depends on the material, director and audience response. This is where Ramayana becomes particularly significant. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film has the potential to expose Ranbir to an unusually broad audience. While Animal appealed strongly to viewers seeking intense action and drama, Ramayana is positioned as a family-oriented mythological spectacle with appeal across generations, languages and international markets. If successful, it could give Ranbir something that even a blockbuster like Animal couldnt fully provide: a widely recognised heroic identity rooted in one of Indias most familiar stories. The distinction matters. Some of Bollywoods biggest stars became cultural phenomena because audiences identified them with memorable characters over several decades. Shah Rukh Khans romantic image, Salmans larger-than-life mass persona and Aamirs reputation for carefully selected projects were all built gradually. Ranbir has arguably been less dependent on a single screen identity. His versatility is his strength, but it also makes his superstardom harder to define. Ramayana could change that. There is another factor worth considering. Ranbir occupies an interesting generational position. He has been around long enough to build a substantial body of work, but is younger than the three Khans. This offers him the possibility of attracting audiences who grew up watching his films while continuing to reach newer viewers. Nevertheless, declaring him Bollywoods biggest superstar purely on the strength of Ramayana would be premature. Superstardom is not measured by one blockbuster. It depends on consistent opening-day pull, audience loyalty, repeat viewership, longevity and the ability to attract crowds even when the film does not belong to an established franchise. The Khans have repeatedly demonstrated that kind of drawing power over several decades. Ranbirs next challenge is to prove that his success is equally sustainable. The decisive question, therefore, isnt simply whether Ramayana can become Ranbir Kapoors highest-grossing film. It is whether the film can elevate his standing to a level where his presence becomes an event in itself, irrespective of the director, genre or franchise. If Ramayana delivers on its enormous expectations, Bollywoods superstar conversation could enter a fascinating new phase. The Khans legacy will remain secure. But the battle for the next era of Hindi cinema may finally have a serious frontrunner. Also Read: Dhurandhar The Revenges Rs. 100 crore single-day feat is Ramayanas FIRST TARGET!

Raj CM's father casts vote in ancestral village, appeals to people to take part in polling
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 3 (IANS) Kishan Swaroop Sharma, the father of Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, cast his vote in the ongoing panchayat elections in the state on Tuesday in his ancestral village of Atari. He reached the polling station at the government school in Atari Gram Panchayat and exercised his franchise at Booth number 112, located in room number 4. After casting his vote, Kishan Swaroop Sharma spoke to journalists and appealed to the people to participate in the electoral process in large numbers. He stressed that every voter's participation is crucial to strengthening democracy. He later spent some time at the village chaupal, interacting with residents and discussing issues concerning the village's development. He subsequently left for Bharatpur. Meanwhile, residents of Nagla Singhada village in Bayana Panchayat Samiti of Bharatpur district boycotted the Panchayat elections in protest against the village's removal from its original Gram Panchayat during the delimitation process. The villagers said Nagla Singhada was earlier part of Singhada Gram Panchayat but has now been merged with Bangaspura Gram Panchayat, located around four km away. They demanded that the village either be restored to Singhada Gram Panchayat or be granted independent Gram Panchayat status. After learning about the boycott, Tehsildar Nitesh Kumar Goyal reached the village and attempted to persuade the residents to participate in the polling. However, the villagers remained firm on their demands. The polling for the third phase of the Rajasthan Panchayat elections began at 7 a.m. on Tuesday and will continue until 6 p.m. The phase covers 377 wards across 27 Zila Parishads and 2,119 wards across 116 Panchayat Samitis. The electoral fate of 9,094 candidates will be decided in this phase. Around 1.06 crore eligible voters are entitled to exercise their vote, including more than 51.33 lakh women. With the conclusion of the third phase of panchayat polls, only the fourth and final phase will remain. It is scheduled to be held on November 14 after the Diwali break.

Imagine Lanning Walking Out For Toss And Molineux Not In XI: Anjum On UPWs Selection Connundrum
With Phoebe Litchfield: UP Warriorz face a significant selection dilemma ahead of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2027 season, with former India captain Anjum Chopra questioning how the franchise will accommodate its overseas stars following the additions of Sophie Molineux and Grace Harris at the auction. Anjum believes the presence of several established international players could leave the franchise struggling to settle on its preferred four overseas options, particularly with Meg Lanning, Phoebe Litchfield and Sophie Ecclestone already commanding important roles. The Warriorz have attempted to strengthen their squad after another campaign in which finding the right overseas combination proved challenging. However, the latest additions have created a different selection question, with Molineux's arrival potentially complicating the competition for places alongside Ecclestone, who remains a key component of the side. Anjum believes three overseas players are virtually assured of their places, leaving the franchise with a difficult decision over the remaining spot and the role of its other high-profile recruits. With Phoebe Litchfield and Meg Lanning both there, Sophie Ecclestone is another player who walks straight into the playing XI. Those three are automatic picks. The challenge for UP Warriorz was how to fit everyone in because they wanted to play Deandra Dottin. When she couldn't do well, they were going helter-skelter trying to find that balance, Anjum told JioStar. The selection puzzle is particularly interesting given the contrasting skill sets available to the franchise. Ecclestone provides a frontline spin option, while Molineux brings another left-arm spin-bowling option alongside her batting contributions. Harris, meanwhile, offers an attacking middle-order presence. Now, they have Sophie Molineux and Grace Harris, who has played for UP Warriorz earlier as well, when Alyssa Healy was there. But how will you combine Sophie Ecclestone and Sophie Molineux? If you look at Mumbai Indians, they don't change their core. They did everything they could to have Amelia Kerr back, to the extent that Harmanpreet was ready to take a pay cut. But if you look at UP Warriorz, they are unsure about what combination will actually work for them because imagine Meg Lanning walking out for the toss and Sophie Molineux not being in the playing XI. That would be very strange, she added. The selection puzzle is particularly interesting given the contrasting skill sets available to the franchise. Ecclestone provides a frontline spin option, while Molineux brings another left-arm spin-bowling option alongside her batting contributions.

Harmer Questions Lack Of Specialist Spin-bowling Coaches In England, Backs Carl Crowe For Key Role
Wales Cricket Board: South African spinner Simon Harmer has questioned England's approach to developing young spinners, claiming a lack of specialist coaching is holding them back, and urged the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to appoint Carl Crowe as a national spin-bowling consultant. Harmer, who has spent the last 10 seasons playing county cricket for Essex, believes England have enough talented spinners but are failing to provide them with the necessary guidance and resources to take their game to the next level. I just think there's a lack of spin-bowling coaches in England. I worked with Carl Crowe for the first time with Durban Super Giants in the SA20, and he is an absolute genius when it comes to spin bowling. He understands the game, he understands the biomechanics of spin bowling, and how he isn't being utilised more within the county system, I don't understand, Harmer told the Sky Cricket podcast. The South African, who recently produced a match-winning performance against Australia with figures of 6/16 in the fourth innings at Newlands, argued that young spinners often struggle to receive specialised guidance when their county bowling coaches are primarily fast-bowling specialists. If you go and you play against a county and the bowling coach is a fast bowler, and he's there trying to help develop a young spin bowler. Now, for me as a spinner, I have certain transferable things that I could probably say to a fast bowler, but I certainly don't know how to make that bowler better or how to develop that bowler, he said. Harmer stressed that the problem was not a shortage of resources but a lack of willingness to establish the right structures within county cricket. He believes Crowe, who previously worked as an assistant coach at Lancashire and is currently involved with three Super Giants franchises, could help address the gap. It's not a lack of resources. It's just a lack of want to get those structures into the county game. How you aren't using Carl Crowe as a consultant and going and working with different spinnersAs a result of that, a lot of spinners feel isolated; they feel alone, they don't feel like they have the needs and the means for them to take their game to the next level, he added. Harmer also identified Jack Leach, Dom Bess, Shoaib Bashir and Jack Carson as bowlers with the ability to represent England at the international level, but questioned how they were being developed outside the national team's set-up. It's something that needs to be looked at because if you look at Jack Leach, Dom Bess, Shoaib Bashir, Jack Carson, they are all good enough to play international cricket. But how are these guys being developed when they are not with the England national team? he said. While acknowledging that Jeetan Patel is involved with England's spin-bowling set-up, Harmer questioned the extent of his involvement in county cricket and felt the ECB needed to take a more proactive approach rather than waiting for a shortage of quality spinners to emerge. You've got Jeetan Patel who's working with the spinners there, but I haven't seen him working with spinners at a county game or coming to watch. I just think it's something that needs to be looked at. And what happens is that England will wait until they don't have any spinners and then they will start to try and problem-solve instead of being proactive, he said. Again, it's not because there aren't enough good spinners in England. There are plenty, but they just don't have the tools necessary to upskill, he added. The ECB has recently appointed Richard Dawson as its elite national spin-bowling lead, a role aimed at strengthening the development of spinners, although he will also work as one of Stephen Fleming's assistants in England's Test set-up. Patel is no longer involved with the Test team but remains one of Brendon McCullum's white-ball assistants. Harmer's comments come ahead of England's upcoming Test tour of South Africa, where head coach Stephen Fleming has hinted that the visitors could rely on four specialist fast bowlers and part-time spin options. However, the South African believes Jack Leach should remain a strong option if England decide to include a specialist spinner, particularly given the conditions expected at venues such as the Wanderers, SuperSport Park and Newlands. For me, Jack Leach would be the guy. If you are going to play a spinner at those venues, you need, in the first innings, somebody who can hold from one end so that your seamers can rotate and attack, and come and bowl four overs of aggressive fast bowling, Harmer said. However, the South African believes Jack Leach should remain a strong option if England decide to include a specialist spinner, particularly given the conditions expected at venues such as the Wanderers, SuperSport Park and Newlands.

It Is Time For UP Warriorz To Think In The Direction Of An Indian Captain: Veda Krishnamurthy
UP Warriorz: Former India batter Veda Krishnamurthy believes UP Warriorz should consider appointing an Indian player as captain for the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2027 season, suggesting that handing the responsibility to experienced all-rounder Deepti Sharma could give the franchise greater flexibility while selecting their overseas combination. The franchise has assembled a squad featuring several prominent overseas names, including Meg Lanning, Phoebe Litchfield, Sophie Ecclestone, Sophie Molineux and Grace Harris. With only four overseas players permitted in the playing XI, Veda feels an Indian captain could help UP Warriorz avoid selection decisions being influenced by the leadership responsibilities of an overseas recruit. She identified Deepti, who has been associated with the franchise since the inaugural edition, as a strong candidate for the role, while suggesting that Lanning could still contribute to the leadership group without necessarily wearing the captain's armband. I am a big fan of having an Indian player as captain. That solves a lot of problems when you talk about the overseas combination. When you have Deepti Sharma, who has been there for four years, I honestly feel it is time for UP Warriorz to think in that direction. They can say that Deepti is the captain. You always have Meg Lanning there, who can probably guide her. It doesn't have to be Meg Lanning as captain. It can be Deepti Sharma as captain, with Meg Lanning helping her along. That probably solves a lot of problems because then you can look at the best possible options you would want in your playing XI, Veda told JioStar. Vedas suggestion comes at a time when UP Warriorz have multiple overseas players competing for limited places, making the captaincy question an important part of their team-building exercise. She also pointed towards the potential complications of having an overseas captain who may not necessarily be an automatic selection based on current form or team requirements. It doesn't have to be Meg Lanning as captain. It can be Deepti Sharma as captain, with Meg Lanning helping her along. That probably solves a lot of problems because then you can look at the best possible options you would want in your playing XI, Veda told JioStar.

Unfortunate That Grace Harris Has Gone At Base Price: Abhinav Mukund
Australian Ellyse Perry: UP Warriorz's decision to secure Australian all-rounder Grace Harris at her base price in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2027 auction has drawn attention, with former India cricketer Abhinav Mukund questioning whether the franchise's latest acquisition reflects her actual value. Mukund believes Harris, despite coming off a strong season, was unfortunate to lose her place in a championship-winning setup following the return of fellow Australian Ellyse Perry, but expects the hard-hitting batter to play an important role for UP Warriorz in the upcoming edition. Harris, who has previously represented UP Warriorz, was among the notable overseas additions made by the franchise at the auction. Her availability at the base price has raised questions about how teams are valuing experienced overseas players, particularly those who have already demonstrated their ability to deliver in the competition. Explaining why Harris found herself in that position despite her performances, Mukund pointed towards the difficulty of retaining a place in a settled overseas combination when another high-profile player becomes available. I actually feel for someone like Grace Harris because, if you look at every other team in the league, they've got their four overseas players nailed down along with the associates, if required. And unfortunately for Grace Harris, despite having a great season, she finds herself out of a championship-winning side because a better player, for lack of a better word, Ellyse Perry is back, Mukund told JioStar. Mukund also highlighted how the return of established international players can influence auction decisions, even when franchises are required to part ways with performers who have contributed to successful campaigns. In Harris' case, the Australian's power-hitting and versatility could offer UP Warriorz an important middle-order option. The franchise has also brought in Sophie Molineux, adding another dimension to its overseas resources. However, the challenge will be to identify a combination that accommodates its new signings alongside established names such as Meg Lanning, Phoebe Litchfield and Sophie Ecclestone. Mukund also highlighted how the return of established international players can influence auction decisions, even when franchises are required to part ways with performers who have contributed to successful campaigns. In Harris' case, the Australian's power-hitting and versatility could offer UP Warriorz an important middle-order option. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

BJP accuses AISA's Neha Bora of 'Hindu hate', claims she is 'inspired' by LoP Rahul Gandhi
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on All India Students' Association (AISA) President, Neha Bora over her remarks on the Brahmanical system and religious institutions. The BJP alleged that she was displaying Hindu hate and shared an old statement in which she alleged that priests commit rapes inside temples. BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari targeted Bora over the comments and alleged that her views were influenced by Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha and Congress MP, Rahul Gandhi. He also alleged that the Congress was harbouring hostility towards Hindus, claiming that the party's approach posed a threat to the country's unity. Taking to social media platform X, Bhandari shared Bora's remarks and drew a comparison with an earlier statement attributed to Rahul Gandhi concerning the safety of women in temples. Neha Bora, poster girl of Rahul Gandhi, displays her Hindu hate! Says - 'Pujaris rape in temple'. She is inspired by Rahul Gandhi, who earlier had said 'Mandiro main ladkiyon ke sath ched chad hoti hai'. Congress hates Hindus, loves vote bank! Congress Soch is a threat to India's unity! Bhandari alleged in his post. The controversy erupted after Bora made the remarks while extending support to an impeachment resolution against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. The resolution and the criticism surrounding the Election Commission have been part of the ongoing political debate over the revision of electoral rolls which the Opposition claims have resulted in the disenfranchisement of 13 crore Indians. Bora had earlier accused the authorities of deliberately deleting voters' names and committing procedural violations during the electoral roll revision exercise. Following these allegations, Bora turned her attention to caste-based discrimination and the role of religious institutions, arguing that women and other vulnerable sections required protection from what she described as the Brahmanical system. Protection is absolutely necessary - and it is precisely from the Brahmanical system that such protection is required. This is a system which posits that the poor, the oppressed, animals and women are all deserving of subjugation and abuse. It is the very same system under which even Brahmin women are unsafe and fall victim to rape. Priests commit rapes inside temples. We have witnessed such instances... Bora said.

Ayushmann Khurrana has built his filmography around stories that often step away from conventional Bollywood templates while retaining their mainstream appeal. From making his debut with Vicky Donor to starring in films like Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Andhadhun and Dream Girl, the actor has explored different genres and subjects. With Udta Teer, Yeh Prem Mol Liya and Mupapa adding to his upcoming slate, Ayushmann says he intends to continue backing stories that offer audiences something different. Speaking about his approach to choosing projects, the actor emphasised that experimentation has remained central to his journey. I have always believed in walking the road less travelled. Whether it is from Vicky Donor, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Dream Girl, Andhadhun to Udta Teer, Yeh Prem Mol Liya or Mupapa, my choices continue to reflect that and I want to keep exploring stories that are content-forward and break away from the expected. It is the audience's trust in my choices that gives me the confidence to take risks and the freedom to experiment, challenge myself and move between genres. Ayushmanns filmography has included social comedies, romantic dramas and dark thrillers, allowing him to move between different storytelling spaces rather than remain associated with a single genre. At a time when franchises, large-scale spectacles and familiar formulas continue to occupy a significant space in the industry, the actor believes there is still room for films that take a different approach. He also spoke about the importance of balancing unusual premises with entertainment, adding that audience acceptance ultimately encourages him to keep experimenting. As an actor, I have always wanted to be part of films that offer them something new while keeping entertainment at the heart of it. The love Udta Teer continues to receive is humbling, and it only tells me that audiences are always ready for something different. They will embrace a fresh perspective, an unusual premise or a new way of storytelling, as long as it entertains and connects with them. I'm thankful to every director, writer and team that has trusted me with these stories, and to the audience for showing that unconventional stories can find a place in mainstream entertainment, he added. With Udta Teer receiving attention and Yeh Prem Mol Liya and Mupapa representing different facets of his upcoming work, Ayushmann continues to explore varied narratives. His latest comments underline his intention to keep choosing projects that combine distinctive storytelling with theatrical entertainment.

According to Mumbai Police sources, the Crime Branch's technical team conducted a detailed examination of the audio recording of the threatening call received by Tusshar Kapoor. The police compared the voice in the recording with an official audio sample of Harry Boxer available in their database. According to senior Mumbai Police officials, preliminary investigations suggest that the call was a hoax, as the voice did not match the available audio sample. Police suspect that some miscreant may have used the name of the Bishnoi gang to create fear and extort money from the actor. The police are now trying to trace the person behind the audio threat and ascertain whether it was an isolated act by a miscreant or whether an organised gang was involved in the incident. Tusshar Kapoor belongs to a prominent family in the film industry. He is the son of veteran actor Jeetendra and producer Shobha Kapoor, while his elder sister, Ekta Kapoor, is a renowned television and film producer. Tusshar made his acting debut with films such as 'Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai', 'Kyaa Dil Ne Kaha' and 'Jeena Sirf Merre Liye'. However, he gained wider recognition through comedy films, particularly the 'Kyaa Kool Hain Hum' series and the 'Golmaal' franchise, which includes 'Golmaal', 'Golmaal Returns' and 'Golmaal 3'. He also received appreciation for his performance in the critically acclaimed film 'Shor in the City', in which he explored a more serious role. Also, eight bullion traders in the Sarafa Bazar area of Nagpur are said to have received threatening letters demanding Rs 10 lakh each in the name of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, with police suspecting the role of local criminals. The senders have also threatened to kill the traders and their family members, if they fail to pay the money or inform the police.
Mahadev App kingpin Sourabh Chandrakar likely to be produced in Raipur court today
Digital Desk | Raipur/New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is likely to bring Sourabh Chandrakar, the promoter and key accused in the Mahadev App illegal online betting cases, to Raipur on Tuesday. He will then be produced before the special court in Raipur. He was successfully extradited from Oman two days ago. A specially deputed CBI team had escorted him back to India. Chandrakar, who is wanted in two CBI cases in which chargesheets have already been filed and in an Enforcement Directorate case where a prosecution complaint has been submitted, will be medically examined and produced before the CBI Special Court in Raipur after the completion of transit remand formalities. The CBI is investigating the Mahadev Online Book cases on the request of the Chhattisgarh government, which had transferred 13 related FIRs to the agency. Chargesheets have already been filed in two of these cases. The Enforcement Directorate is also probing the money-laundering angle and has filed a prosecution complaint against Chandrakar. Delhis Rouse Avenue Court has granted the CBI a two-day transit remand for Chandrakar. The agency will take him to Raipur and produce him before a special court there on or before November 4, where it is expected to seek his further remand for interrogation in the Mahadev online betting case. The CBI had taken up the investigation into the Mahadev Online Book cases at the request of the Government of Chhattisgarh. Investigations revealed that the Mahadev Online Book was one of the largest illegal online betting syndicates in the country, operated from outside India. It offered illegal betting on cricket, football, card games and other events through a network of franchised panels and branches spread across India. The proceeds were routed through a large number of mule bank accounts, layered through multiple transactions and moved abroad through hawala channels. Part of the proceeds was allegedly used to pay protection money to public servants so that the syndicate could operate without hindrance. The CBI had filed chargesheets under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and provisions of the Indian Penal Code relating to criminal conspiracy, cheating and forgery, as well as under the Chhattisgarh Gambling (Prohibition) Act. Chandrakar is among the key accused named in these chargesheets. The Enforcement Directorate had also attached several properties in India and abroad linked to the syndicate. Based on a Red Corner Notice, Chandrakar was located and detained by the Royal Oman Police. The CBI and ED sent formal extradition proposals to Oman along with the evidence gathered against him. The extradition request was pursued in close coordination with Indian agencies, the Interpol National Central Bureau and the competent authorities of Oman. After the extradition was granted, a CBI team travelled to Muscat and brought him back to India. The CBI has expressed gratitude to the Government of the Sultanate of Oman and the Royal Oman Police for their cooperation.

BCCI Extends IPL 2027 Retention Deadline To November 17 Due To India-NZ Fifth ODI Clash
Lucknow Super Giants: The BCCI has given all ten IPL franchises two more days to submit their retention lists, as they moved the deadline to November 17. The 2027 IPL player auction will go ahead as planned on December 16 in Goa. IANS understands that the BCCI informed all ten franchises of the two-day extension in an official communication on Monday. The original retention deadline of November 15 clashed with the fifth and final ODI between India and New Zealand at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. It is understood that the clash with the mens ODI match would have affected the retention announcement and its subsequent coverage, and that prompted the board to move the deadline to November 17. The player registration for the IPL 2027 auction opened on Monday and will end on November 23. It gives players worldwide three weeks to put their names forward for the auction. The entire process, from the opening of registration to the auction, will run for a little over six weeks. Interestingly, the auction day also clashes with an international fixture India will host Sri Lanka in the second mens ODI at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. As of now, theres no sign of moving the auction date, or changing the date on which the ODI game in Bengaluru will happen. The remaining steps follow in quick succession - once registration closes, the auction register will be finalised on November 24. Teams will have time until November 27, to put in requests for additional players, and allow them to ask for names not on the initial register to be added to the pool. Franchises must submit their player auction lists by December 1. The final auction list, along with the sets in which players will go under the hammer, is scheduled to be unveiled on December 3. That leaves a gap of nearly two weeks between the release of the final player list and the auction itself on December 16 for teams to work out their respective strategies. Two trades have been completed so far ahead of the 2027 IPL mini auction. Delhi Capitals (DC) brought back their former captain, wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), with left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav moving to Lucknow. DC also sent left-arm fast bowler T Natarajan back to 2016 winners Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in exchange for leg-spinner Zeeshan Ansari. The dates for the 2027 IPL season are yet to be confirmed. When the IPL announced the windows for three seasons in 2024, it earmarked March 14 to May 30 as the time to host the 2027 season. In September, after the BCCIs annual general meeting (AGM), board secretary Devajit Saikia indicated the tournament could get under way around the end of March. Delhi Capitals (DC) brought back their former captain, wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), with left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav moving to Lucknow.

Sivaramakrishnan Appointed Spin Bowling Coach At Assam Cricket Association Academy
Assam Cricket Association: Former India leg-spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan has been appointed as the spin bowling coach at the Assam Cricket Associations (ACA) cricket academy on a one-year contract starting this month. Sivaramakrishnan, who made a name for himself with big, looping leg-breaks, googlies and top-spinners, will work with young and promising spinners at the ACA Cricket Academy in Fulung, North Guwahati, where he will run a structured coaching programme, the association said in a statement on Monday, issued by its secretary, Sanatan Das. The appointment gives the academys spinners the chance to learn the craft of leg-spin from one of its best-known Indian exponents. Chennai-based Sivaramakrishnan enjoyed a successful career in both Test and ODI cricket for India. He was instrumental in the teams successful run at the Benson & Hedges World Championship of Cricket, held in Australia in 1985. He made his international debut as a teenager and went on to play nine Tests and 16 ODIs, taking 26 and 15 wickets respectively. His best Test figures of 6-64 came against England in Mumbai in 1984. After his playing days, he became a prominent commentator, known for his insights on spin bowling and the game. The former leg-spinner also served as a player representative on the ICC Cricket Committee. Sivaramakrishnan, 60, has already visited the academy - on October 18, he took a session at the ACA Cricket Academy on the finer nuances of leg-spin bowling. The appointment comes after the 60-year-old publicly expressed his interest in joining IPL franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) as a coach. In a post on X addressed to LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka, he offered his services and said he was confident he could make a difference to the franchises spin attack.

Lalit Modi Bats To Identify Best IPL Window Between October And April
Lalit Modi: IPL's founding chairman Lalit Modi has called for a change of the IPL window from March-May to a window between October and April, suggesting the start of the lucrative tournament from January and increasing number of matches to 94. Modi also drew a comparison to how football leagues run over months, and he also asked ICC chairman Jay Shah to help facilitate the calendar. The IPL founder stressed that when the tournament was launched in 2008, April and May were the only available opportunity at that time. You are looking at the IPL today and applying that certainty to the circumstances in which I created it. When I started, there was enormous resistance and scepticism. I took a window nobody wanted and built a competition people wanted to watch. The success we see today was not handed to us. April-May was the opportunity available then. It was never a declaration that these were the ideal months for Indian cricket for all time. We began with eight teams and a 59-match schedule. The BCCI subsequently expanded the league to 10 teams. A complete home-and-away competition for 10 teams means 90 league matches and four playoffs. That is 94 matches - 35 more than the original format, an increase of almost 60%, he said as quoted by Cricbuzz. The 62-year-old further argued that the organisers must create better experience through sensible timings to accommodate the increased number of matches. How do you accommodate that growth in essentially the same compressed period without putting more pressure on players, spectators and everyone delivering the tournament? For families, of course, the holiday period was an advantage. But families follow teams, players and compelling cricket. Their interest is not confined to two months. We should build a better experience through sensible timings, weekends and comfortable stadium conditions, while taking school calendars into account. I created the IPL to grow. I did not create it to stand still, he added. Meanwhile, IPL chairman Arun Dhumal, while speaking to a sports magazine earlier this year, had also suggested dividing the tournament into two windows to get more matches. As per Modi's suggestion, a January start would be a major tweak to the international calendar and also to domestic cricket for India, changing the Test cricket schedule and domestic schedule. It would require changes. That is precisely why this discussion belongs in the new FTP, Modi admitted. My broader position is that we should identify the best window from October to the end of April. January is a concrete starting proposal within that range. I am not asking for seven uninterrupted months of exclusive IPL cricket. We need to sit down with the actual fixtures, venues, travel requirements and player commitments and design the season properly. International cricket needs protected blocks. Domestic cricket needs a coherent programme. Players need preparation and genuine rest. You cannot fit a Test tour into a few spare weekdays. But the calendar would have to change cannot be the final answer to every proposal. The purpose of planning a new calendar is to improve it, he added. Currently, India doesn't have a problem giving up their international schedule for franchise cricket, and they are able to freely host the international game and then also the IPL. Modi felt that the economics trend is likely to change for international cricket. Then assess the economics properly. My assessment is that bilateral and ICC rights income faces pressure in the coming cycle. The IPL is the BCCIs principal commercial engine and, in my view, its lifeline for future growth. The BCCI should be planning ahead of that risk. A change in dates does not automatically mean combining the rights packages or abandoning valuable international cricket. It means deciding how the whole year should work. Calculate the additional IPL opportunity, the international income affected, the costs and the arrangements needed with other boards. Look at the net benefit to cricket. Keeping two income streams separate is useful. Keeping the calendar unchanged regardless of how those income streams develop is not a business strategy, he added. He also argued that heat and humidity trouble the players, spectators and other stakeholders during the latter part of IPL, further asking the tournament to be moved to the October-April period by choosing dates and venues intelligently. Conditions differ across India, and April itself can be very hot. That is a reason for detailed planning. We must consider the experience of everyone on the ground. The IPL currently has 74 matches scheduled, and increasing it to 94 can also create fatigue among players and viewers. Modi emphasised the problem. Fatigue is precisely one of the problems I want us to address. There is a difference between spreading a season sensibly and asking viewers to consume more and more cricket on consecutive days. The 94-match figure comes from a clear sporting proposition: 10 teams, every opponent at home and away, followed by four playoffs. Each team would have nine home and nine away league fixtures. Supporters would get to see every opponent in their own city. The BCCI expanded the league. The calendar should allow the full competition to develop properly. A longer season gives us room to create a recognisable weekly rhythm, build anticipation and leave breathing space. It also requires us to manage the players entire year. More weeks alone will not create rest if we fill every gap with another commitment, he argued. Modi also asked ICC chair Shah to help facilitate the tournament, asking him to find a settlement where IPL can be strengthened and giving certainty to the wider game. His responsibility to world cricket is exactly why I am asking him to use his good offices. BCCI can develop an IPL proposal. Securing an international agreement around it requires someone who understands Indias commercial importance and the legitimate interests of the other boards. Jay has the experience to help bring those interests together. He has already contributed to the IPLs commercial growth. At the ICC, he has the opportunity to help translate that strength into an arrangement the wider game can support. That means listening to other boards, protecting important international cricket and examining fair arrangements for player release and development. The countries producing overseas talent must have a reason to support the outcome.
