Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Stands named after India womens captain Harmanpreet Kaur and former mens all-rounder Yuvraj Singh were inaugurated ahead of the second mens T20I against South Africa at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium on Thursday.

Last month, Harmanpreet created history by leading India to its first senior ICC trophy in womens cricket by lifting the ODI World Cup title at the D.Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. Yuvraj, meanwhile, played a pivotal role in Indias twin World Cup triumphs -- the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 and the ODI World Cup in 2011. He had cemented his legacy as one of the games great match-winners in white-ball cricket.

Kohli Edges Nearer To Dethroning Rohit As The No. 1 ODI Batter
ODI Player Rankings: Virat Kohlis twin centuries and an unbeaten half-century in the recently concluded ODI series against South Africa have helped him make additional progress in the latest ICC Men's ODI Player Rankings and get closer to replacing teammate Rohit Sharma as the No. 1 ODI batter. Kohli has not attained the No.1 ranking since Pakistans Babar Azam overtook him in April 2021. However, he is now nearing the top position again, thanks to his excellent performances at home. The 37-year-old was named Player of the Series for scoring 302 runs in three matches, and he was rewarded with a rise in the latest rankings, moving up two places to second overall behind teammate Rohit. Rohit scored a total of 146 runs throughout the series, securing his position at the top of the rankings. Meanwhile, Kohli narrowed the gap to within eight points, thanks to his unbeaten 65 not out in the series finale in Visakhapatnam. India's upcoming ODIs include a three-match series against New Zealand at home starting from January 11. All attention will be on Kohli and Rohit as they compete to secure the top position in the ODI rankings. Kohli wasn't the only Indian player to see significant improvements in the updated rankings this week; teammate KL Rahul also made notable progress in the ODI rankings for batters. The wicketkeeper-batter climbed two spots to rank 12th overall. Left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav was the biggest mover among ODI bowlers, rising three places to third. South African players also advanced in the ODI batter rankings: Quinton de Kock moved up three rungs to 13th, Aiden Markram improved four places to 25th, and Temba Bavuma climbed three spots to 37th, despite India winning a high-scoring series 2-1. The latest T20I rankings see changes after the series opener between India and South Africa, with Proteas young star Dewald Brevis climbing three spots to reach eighth among T20I batters, entering the top 10 overall. Three Indian players improved their T20I bowler rankings after their convincing 101-run win in Cuttack. Axar Patel rose two spots to 13th, Arshdeep Singh climbed three places to 20th, and Jasprit Bumrah moved up six positions to 25th. It's no surprise that Mitchell Starc has leapt in the latest Test Bowler Rankings, climbing three spots to reach third place. This increase is due to his back-to-back Player of the Match awards in the first two Ashes Tests against England. Starc has taken 18 wickets in two matches and is climbing to a new career-high rating, currently holding his best-ever ranking of third as a result. England's decline in form Down Under saw Harry Brook drop two places to fourth in the Test batter rankings. Kane Williamson (second) and Steve Smith (third) each move up one spot behind Joe Root at the top. It's no surprise that Mitchell Starc has leapt in the latest Test Bowler Rankings, climbing three spots to reach third place. This increase is due to his back-to-back Player of the Match awards in the first two Ashes Tests against England. Starc has taken 18 wickets in two matches and is climbing to a new career-high rating, currently holding his best-ever ranking of third as a result.

Meanwhile, veteran fast bowler Kemar Roach advanced five places on the Test bowlers list after taking seven wickets in the match. Article Source: IANS

As reported by The New Indian Express, the Indian Armed forces and the High Commission in Colombo had launched Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief actions forthwith, after devastation caused by Cyclone Ditwah across the island nation. The Indian Air Force was quick to respond, deploying one C-130 and one IL-76 from Hindon Air Base near Delhi on the night of November 28/29 to airlift 21 tonnes of relief material along with over 80 NDRF personnel and eight tonnes of rescue equipment. Essential rations and critical supplies were delivered to support affected communities. The IAF reaffirmed the spirit of 'neighbourhood first', saying, India stands firmly with Sri Lanka in this hour of need. Later the IAF had sent two more MI-17V5 helicopters, with 22 personnel and essential HADR supplies to support ongoing Search and Rescue (SAR) operations. In the first go, responding quickly, relief supplies from INS Vikrant and INS Udaygiri, including 4.5 tons of dry rations, 2 tons of fresh rations, and essential items, were handed over to the Sri Lankan authorities as assistance to the affected families. INS Sukanya was sent subsequently from Visakhapatnam with additional relief material and is expected to arrive in Sri Lanka soon.
