3rd T20I: Reverse Swing In The Death Overs Is Always Fun, Says Arshdeep After India's 14-run Win
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh said on Sunday that bowling in the death over with the ball reversing was always an enjoyable exercise, as he played a pivotal role in India defending 223 to beat West Indies by 14 runs in the third T20I here at the Holkar Stadium on Sunday. Named Player of the Match for his figures of 3-44, Arshdeep made the early breakthrough by castling the in-form Shai Hope in the second over. Kamil Pooran and Shimron Hetmyer both made scores in the 40s, but India never allowed the visitors to get ahead of the required rate. The contest stayed alive as long as Sherfane Rutherford was at the crease, until Arshdeep produced a phenomenal yorker to shatter his middle stump, and took Keemo Paul too to ensure the contest ended in Indias favour and help the hosts take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. It was pretty nice, the ball was reversing a bit and it's always pretty fun to bowl at the death with some reverse swing, said Arshdeep to broadcasters at the conclusion of the game. On how the team deals with an off day, where he doesnt get a scalp, Arshdeep said, There is no such thing as a leader or senior in the team. It's a chill environment and anytime someone has a bad day, we put an arm around our shoulders and tell them it's fine. As an international cricketer you know you will have good days and bad days and you'll come back to do well. I personally love it when batters go hard at you in all phases because that's when you can test your skills and mental strength. Arshdeep also explained how he approaches changing conditions. The main focus is just to come early and bowl a little with new ball and old ball and adapt to the conditions. The schedule is always tight and the team that adapts early comes out on the right side of the result. As an international cricketer you know you will have good days and bad days and you'll come back to do well. I personally love it when batters go hard at you in all phases because that's when you can test your skills and mental strength. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

3rd T20I: Bowlers Were Decisive In Execution, Says Shreyas After India's 14-run Win
Shreyas Iyer: India captain Shreyas Iyer on Sunday praised his bowlers for their clarity and decisiveness, adding that the dry ball helped them stick to their plans while defending 223 in the third T20I against West Indies here at the Holkar Stadium on Sunday. With the bowlers led by Arshdeep Singhs 3-44 at their best, especially in bowling yorkers in the death overs, India sealed a 14-run win to go 2-1 up in the five-match series. It was wonderful because the bowlers were pretty confident with what they wanted to execute. The clarity was much more visible. They were decisive in their execution and when I was passing the ball to them, each and every bowler was up for the challenge and that's what you want, said Shreyas at the conclusion of the game. The skipper was also full of praise for the batting effort that set up the win, especially Abhishek Sharma's 69, Ishan Kishan's 37, and Prince Yadav's cameo of 13 not out at the end. Honestly, that was a phenomenal start. Abhishek doing what he does in the powerplay and Kishan coming in. He's been great in the last few months. Even Prince playing the cameo in the end, those were crucial runs. West Indies, you can never take them lightly. So we had to make sure we never get complacent. Both of them are high-scoring grounds but it's important we stick to our process and follow our routines and make sure we stay offensive, added Iyer. West Indies captain Shai Hope said the bowlers could have done better and that the dew-free conditions had played a part in them ending up at 209/7. So many things you can put your finger on. But cricket games have small margins. As a winning team, you can pick out defining moments. Probably with the ball, we could have executed better and we let a few boundaries through. I believe that the way we came back into the game was quite commendable. From the outset, if you look at that partnership, it was a very dangerous one, but we got some wickets with Roston, and we pulled it back. He also admitted the team needed a stronger top three in the batting the order, but did not want to blame one or two players. We have to find a good opening partnership to lay the platform but can't point your finger on one or two guys. Probably with the ball, we could have executed better and we let a few boundaries through. I believe that the way we came back into the game was quite commendable.

3rd T20I: We know it's not easy but the bowlers executed the plans very well, says Reddy
Digital Desk | Indore, Oct 11 (IANS) Seam-bowling all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy on Sunday lauded India's bowlers for executing their plans well to deny the West Indies easy runs while defending 223 in the third T20I here at the Holkar Stadium, as they picked a 14-run victory to get a 2-1 lead in the five-game series. Nitish, who made 21 with the bat before returning figures of one for 19, said the team was happy with the manner in which the bowlers stuck to their plans in the closing stages. In defence of 223, Indias bowlers were excellent in keeping the run-flow in control and bowled yorkers well in the death overs to keep the West Indies to 209/7. A win is a win. We are all proud of our efforts over there. We know it's not easy but the bowlers executed the plans very well. At the time I think per over they needed 14 runs, and we thought if we could keep every run for a single, it would work for us. We weren't going for wickets. Sometimes a defensive plan can be an attacking plan. Very clear plans from our skipper. We have to stick to our plans and bowl to our fields. Even if we get hit for a six, we have to stick to our plans, said Nitish to broadcasters at the conclusion of the game. Asked about the challenge of posting a good total while batting first on a pitch with short boundaries, Nitish credited the lower-order contribution of Prince Yadav (13 not out off six balls, including hitting three fours), for helping India reach 223. We started well but here and there we got a bit unlucky with a few wickets, but in the end you can see Prince getting those crucial runs mattered a lot, he added. India and the West Indies will now meet in the fourth game, to be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Wednesday.

6 senators call for White House to 'immediately reverse course' on Russian diesel plan
WASHINGTON (AP) A bipartisan group of six senators on Sunday called for President Donald Trump's administration to immediately reverse course on a plan to purchase diesel from Russia as part of an effort to lower high fuel prices. Trump shocked lawmakers when he announced on social media Friday that he struck a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a phone call. He said Russia will immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel to the American and global market, followed by an additional 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons immediately thereafter. Russia will deliver an additional 3 million tons within a short period of time after that, he wrote. Four Republican senators and two Democratic senators signed onto the statement released Sunday in protesting the deal. They said the administration failed to consult with Congress or submit any explanation to justify its decision as required by statute. The United States should not provide Putin with a financial lifeline while Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians. The Administration must immediately reverse course, they wrote. The Republican senators who signed onto the statement are Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and John Curtis of Utah. The Democratic senators are Sens. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut. Tillis, in an interview that aired Sunday on NBCs Meet the Press, said there's a legitimate case for saying the president is not following the law if the administration goes through with its diesel purchase plan. We were very clear that Russia is the aggressor. Russia is the one who can end this war by backing out of territory that they occupied, Tillis said. Trump's announcement came just a few weeks after Congress passed legislation that directed Trump to impose substantial tariffs on the top importers of Russian oil or natural gas, with an exception for countries that import less than 15% of Russias natural gas exports and have taken significant steps to reduce those imports. The congressional effort was aimed at cutting the flow of money Russia receives from oil and gas sales to finance its war against Ukraine. The lawmakers also noted that Congress explicitly banned Russia energy imports in 2022 to prevent the United States from financing the war. Congress was clear: the U.S. should not import oil from Russia until it ends its aggression against Ukraine and ceases threats against our NATO Allies, the six lawmakers wrote in their statement. President Trumps decision to allow Russian diesel imports to the U.S. runs directly counter to that law. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said Trump is focused on reducing the cost of energy when asked whether the president's action would be in violation of U.S. law. The president is balancing and has to make tough decisions, Barrasso said on CBS's Face the Nation. He also encouraged Trump to enforce the sanctions law that Congress passed last month. This is just another point of leverage for the president to use against Putin in an effort to get a long-term solution in that part of the world, Barrasso said. Trump has recently sought to blame record U.S. diesel prices on Ukraine rather than the U.S.-led war in Iran , which has elevated world energy prices.

When Rani Mukerji explained why actresses can't 'really' be friends
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 11 (IANS) Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji once explained why two actresses, according to her, can't 'really' be friends. As she appeared on the 'Koffee With Karan' show with Kareena Kapoor, host and filmmaker Karan Johar asked Rani, Do you believe two actresses can really be good friends? Rani said, With an actress, I can't. Not really, really close. Explaining the reason behind her reply, the 'Maardani' actress went on to add, Why I say that actresses can't be friends is that every actress has her own career graph. Like, you know, I started in a way, and I'll be ending up in a way. Kareena's career graph is different. So, both of us can't have the same career graph. I might do a certain kind of films, she'll do different films. But then, if she gives a hit, it doesn't mean that something's going wrong with me. If I give a hit, it doesn't mean something's going wrong with her. So, we can be friends, and we can survive in the same industry because there's so much work for everybody. Over the years, Rani and Kareena have appeared together in several Hindi films. Their professional association began back in 2001, with Karan Johar's 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...'. While Kareena played Pooja (Poo) in the blockbuster, Rani Mukerji was seen in an extended guest role as Naina. Next year, in 2002, they came together for the romantic entertainer, 'Mujhse Dosti Karoge!', which also had Hrithik Roshan as the lead. The two actresses were also a part of the ensemble cast of J. P. Dutta's war drama, 'LOC Kargil', which came out in 2003. Veteran filmmaker Mani Ratnam directed Rani and Kareena in 'Yuva' in 2004. They last shared screen space in the psychological mystery thriller, 'Talaash: The Answer Lies Within,' in which Aamir Khan was also the lead.

Gujarat: Ambaji temple's Mohanthal prasad gets GI tag, securing protection for temple offering
Digital Desk | Ambaji (Gujarat), Oct 11 (IANS) Ambaji temples traditional 'Mohanthal' prasad has received a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, providing legal protection for its name and helping preserve its traditional identity and preparation. The official certificate was presented to the Shree Arasuri Ambaji Mata Devasthan Trust at a ceremony held at Chachar Chowk in Ambaji on the first day of Navratri. The certificate was issued on October 1, following an application by the temple trust and completion of the prescribed statutory procedures. The ceremony was chaired by Prof. Dr Unnat Pandit, Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks and Registrar of Geographical Indications, in the presence of Banaskantha District Collector Mihir Patel and other officials. Speaking at the event, Pandit stressed the importance of preserving the original identity and quality of traditional products. The GI tag would help ensure that devotees visiting Ambaji receive authentic Mohanthal prasad, he said. He also highlighted the role of the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII), Ahmedabad, which has established a dedicated GI store to promote and sell GI-tagged products. The store displays products from different parts of the country, helping preserve their traditional identities while improving their marketability. Pandit said the recognition honoured not only the distinctive identity of Ambajis Mohanthal but also the faith of millions of devotees in Ma Jagdamba and the regions spiritual heritage. The GI tag would provide legal protection against unauthorised use and duplication of the name, while supporting the preservation of the prasads traditional preparation, he said. With the recognition, Ambajis Mohanthal joins other well-known Indian religious offerings that have received GI tags, including Tirupati Laddu and Palani Panchamirtham. Kaushik Modi, administrator of the Ambaji temple and additional collector, delivered the address, outlining the significance of the GI tag and the efforts made by the temple trust to secure the recognition. The ceremony was attended by officials of the Confederation of Indian Industrys (CII) Gujarat Task Force on Intellectual Property, representatives of collaborating organisations, members of the temple trust, trust officials and employees, and devotees. The GI recognition gives Ambajis traditional offering a distinct geographical identity and a framework for protecting its name from unauthorised use, while reinforcing its association with the temple and its established traditions.
