'Shreyas The Frontrunner To Succeed Suryakumar As T20I Captain', Feels Ex-selector Gandhi
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Former India cricketer and national selector Devang Gandhi believes Shreyas Iyer is a frontrunner to succeed Suryakumar Yadav as the next mens T20I captain, saying his IPL-winning pedigree with Kolkata Knight Riders and his more recent success in leading Punjab Kings makes him the most deserving candidate at the moment. The biggest call before the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee when they meet in Mumbai on Saturday to select Indias squad for the T20Is against Ireland and England is whether to persist with Suryakumar Yadav as Indias T20I captain. Suryakumar, who was made Indias T20I captain after Rohit Sharma retired post the 2024 T20 World Cup win, scripted history by leading India to a successful defence of the title at home this year. But his own batting has remained under the scanner - in IPL 2026, Suryakumar amassed only 270 runs in 13 innings at 20.76, striking at 147.54. Even in the World Cup, Suryakumar managed to make 242 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 136.72, with his lone standout being an unbeaten 84 against the USA in Mumbai that fetched him the PlayeroftheMatch award. With Suryakumar turning 36 in September, the selectors now face a huge choice - retain him as the captain purely for his experience or look towards a new leader for the next two-year cycle especially with India also scheduled to play in the Los Angeles Olympics and enter the 2028 T20 World Cup as defending champions. I think the Olympics are two years hence. Are the selectors looking at him for two years hence? So, that's the big question. See, the competition is pretty stiff. Everybody has to be performing and there are so many players who are performing. Shreyas has been doing well. Then Rajat Patidar has been doing well. Surya, once he has come and from the last two years, he's been phenomenal (as captain). So, there are always slots up for grabs. Somebody is always waiting in the wings. Most importantly, the way Surya has batted, I think that is a matter of concern. But going ahead, yes, I think we need to move on now, Gandhi said in an exclusive conversation with IANS on Friday. Asked who was best placed to take over, Gandhi was unequivocal in his backing for Shreyas, pointing to the IPL title he won with KKR as the clearest proof of his leadership credentials. Apart from leading KKR to the IPL title in 2024, Iyer guided Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings to the finals in 2020 and 2025, respectively. He also captained Mumbai to winning the 2024/25 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Iyer, the vice-captain in ODIs, wasnt in the T20I set-up for the previous World Cup cycle, though he was in the squad for the series win over New Zealand as a replacement for injured Tilak Varma. See, we always want a captain who has a fair amount of experience, whether it is international experience or a successful IPL experience. So, I think Shreyas, the way he has led Punjab and even before that, captaining KKR - he had a fantastic run as they won the IPL under his captaincy. I think he is at the moment the frontrunner and quite deservingly, if he gets an opportunity, I think it will be fine, he said. On who should serve as vice-captain, Gandhi favoured Ishan Kishan over other contenders, citing his consistency around the squad setup and recent form. Kishan, who was a vital contributor in India winning the T20 World Cup, captained Sunrisers Hyderabad in Pat Cummins absence during IPL 2026 after previously leading Jharkhand to the 2025/26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy triumph. I think somebody who is a permanent feature - like Tilak, who has just been around the team. But the way Ishan has done well, I think he can be his deputy as well. So, I think in my opinion, I would favour Ishan Kishan, he said. Asked on whether experience, current form or long-term vision should be the primary criterion for picking the next T20I captain, Gandhi said the current selectors need to strike a balance across all three aspects while making the decision. It's a balance of all three. I mean, to be honest, who is going to lead till the next T20 World Cup. If you just have a longer vision, at least for two years at least or three years, who is going to be your next captain? Asked on whether experience, current form or long-term vision should be the primary criterion for picking the next T20I captain, Gandhi said the current selectors need to strike a balance across all three aspects while making the decision. Also Read: Live Cricket Score But if you look at a pattern, you will understand whether he's led his side, whether just for any franchisee or whether just for a day, you get an idea whether he has the leadership qualities or not. So you have to keep those things in mind and based on that, you take a call on who is the guy to take Indian cricket forward, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

Removing Suryakumar Yadav As T20I Captain At This Stage May Not Be Right, Says MSK Prasad
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Former India wicketkeeper and chief selector MSK Prasad on Thursday cautioned against removing Suryakumar Yadav as captain of the mens T20I side, saying such a move at this stage would not be the right one and that selectors should instead look to groom younger leaders from now onwards. Despite a few halfcenturies in the bilateral series against New Zealand earlier this year and a matchwinning knock in the T20 World Cup opening game against the USA, consistency has eluded Suryakumar. After India won the T20 World Cup under his leadership, Suryakumars form dipped further in IPL 2026, where he managed only 270 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 147.54, with just two fifties. With Indias selectors set to meet in Mumbai on Saturday for selecting squads for the two games against Ireland, to be played on June 26 and 28, followed by five T20Is in England from July 1 to 11, apart from picking India A squad for the two red-ball games against Sri Lanka A, Suryakumars future as the T20I captain will be a hot topic of discussion. See, are you sending your first team or are you sending your second level? That's the biggest concern. So, if they are sending the first team, I think overlooking Surya is not the right thing to do because he just handed over one more Mens T20 World Cup to us. So, ideally, probably next 56 months or now you have to get ready with your next leaders, right? Axar Patel was your vicecaptain till the T20 World Cup win. Ideally, if you look at it, you have to look forward to the younger leaders. So, if you can identify such leaders and make a deputy to Surya, it will be nice to see. Surya is a phenomenal player, Prasad told IANS in an exclusive conversation on Thursday. Prasad admitted that Suryakumar has endured a lean patch but urged patience towards him. I know that he has gone through a rough patch in the last 11.5 years. Of course, we have other players like Rajat Patidar coming up, and they also deserve their places. So, what I would like to say is that, removing Surya at this stage, I think, is not the right signal. Give him a couple of series, and if his lean patch continues, then you have a deputy to whom you can hand over the captaincy baton. On possible successors of Suryakumar like Shreyas Iyer, the ODI vice-captain, and Hardik Pandya, apart from Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, and Tilak Varma in the mix, Prasad said, See, Hardik is one potential candidate. Then, Shreyas is another potential candidate, too. People like Ishan Kishan, Tilak Verma, and Sanju Samson are also in line. See, Sanju has led RR for quite some time. Ishan has led recently, and he showed glimpses of class in his captaincy. Tilak Verma is a potential guy. We think that Tilak Verma is the guy and the answer for the next few years for Indian cricket in T20 formats. So, he is not a bad choice, too. Rajat Patidar (who led RCB to back-to-back IPL titles) is also one of those. I don't know whether its from a captaincy point of view, but he is definitely a guy who should be looked into. So, you have enough ammunition with you. But are you sending your first eleven or are you sending your, maybe, probably the second eleven? Shreyas, the frontrunner to succeed Suryakumar, comes with proven captaincy credentials - having led Kolkata Knight Riders to the IPL title in 2024 and guiding Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings to the finals in 2020 and 2025, respectively. Kishan captained Sunrisers Hyderabad in Pat Cummins absence during IPL 2026 after earlier leading Jharkhand to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy triumph. Varma, meanwhile, has been a regular leader for India A in whiteball cricket and is set to captain them in the upcoming 50over triseries in Sri Lanka starting June 9. Samson has previously led Rajasthan Royals to the runnersup spot in IPL 2022 and was adjudged Player of the Tournament in Indias T20 World Cup win. Pandya, who has captained India in Rohit Sharmas absence, also guided the Gujarat Titans to the IPL crown in 2022, though his leadership stint with the Mumbai Indians has not been that memorable. Prasad further suggested giving some players a break who featured in both the World Cup and IPL for the trips to Ireland and England. If you see, after the World Cup, all the players who played in the World Cup looked jaded and exhausted in the IPL. So, why don't you give a break to all those World Cup players and give opportunities to those who have performed in this IPL? So, in that way, you hand over that baton to Shreyas Iyer or XYZ and whoever is seen as a future leader. I think Shreyas is definitely a potential guy. So, you make and send them to Ireland because I am sure that they can beat Ireland. So, give a break to them because this IPL has been a very, very hot summer, and immediately after the World Cup. Prasad further suggested giving some players a break who featured in both the World Cup and IPL for the trips to Ireland and England. If you see, after the World Cup, all the players who played in the World Cup looked jaded and exhausted in the IPL. So, why don't you give a break to all those World Cup players and give opportunities to those who have performed in this IPL? Also Read: Live Cricket Score They are already playing for the country in some form or another.

PM Modi applauds National Record-breakers, highlights Indias Athletics surge in Mann Ki Baat
New Delhi [India], May 31 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday lauded Indias emerging athletics stars for rewriting the record books at the 29th National Senior Athletics Federation Cup 2026 in Ranchi, describing their achievements as a reflection of the countrys growing sporting prowess. Addressing the 134th episode of Mann Ki Baat, PM Modi highlighted four national records that were broken during the competition and congratulated the athletes responsible for the landmark performances. Just a few days ago, the National Senior Athletics Federation Competition was held in Ranchi, Jharkhand. Nearly 800 athletes participated in it from all over the country. During this, four national records were broken in four different events. Gurindervir Singh, Vishal TK, Tejaswin Shankar, Dev Meena and Kuldeep Kumar set new records in different categories. First of all, I congratulate all of them, PM Modi said. Among the standout performers was sprinter Gurindervir Singh, who became the first Indian man to run the 100 metres in under 10.10 seconds. The 25-year-old clocked a sensational 10.09 seconds in the final to establish a new national record. The achievement capped a dramatic contest in which the national record changed hands multiple times. Gurindervir had initially run 10.17 seconds in the semifinals before Animesh Kujur bettered it with 10.15 seconds in the following heat. Gurindervir responded in emphatic fashion in the final, reclaiming the record and securing qualification for the 2026 Commonwealth Games and Asian Games. His 10.09-second effort also ranked among Asias fastest performances this season. Another historic moment came in the mens 400 metres, where Vishal Thennarasu Kayalvizhi became the first Indian athlete to break the 45-second barrier. Vishal stormed to victory in 44.98 seconds, setting a new national record and climbing to the top of Asias seasonal rankings. His landmark run added a new chapter to Indias rich 400m tradition and drew emotional celebrations from his family and coaching team. In the decathlon, Tejaswin Shankar continued his remarkable transition from high jump specialist to all-round athlete by scoring 8,057 points and becoming the first Indian to cross the 8,000-point mark. The performance improved his own national record and featured personal bests in four events, underlining his rapid rise in the discipline. The mens pole vault competition also produced history as Kuldeep Kumar and Dev Meena jointly rewrote the national record. The duo cleared 5.45 metres at the Birsa Munda Stadium in Ranchi after an intense contest that saw the lead change hands several times. Dev first surpassed Kuldeeps previous national record of 5.41m by clearing 5.42m. Kuldeep immediately responded with a successful attempt at 5.45m, before Dev matched the height to ensure both athletes finished as joint national record holders. The Federation Cup witnessed participation from nearly 800 athletes and emerged as one of the most successful editions of the competition. (ANI)

New Report Warns of Immediate Climate Risks Across India's 11,000 km Coastline
Indian Coastal Region: Climate Projections 2021–2040’ report released by Azim Premji University, Bengaluru. Santonu Goswami, Professor, School of Climate Change and Sustainability, Azim Premji University, Bengaluru Focusing on near-term projections (2021-2040) the study provides actionable insights for policymakers and local communities, using CMIP6* model projections corrected for regional bias to improve accuracy. The report warns that the window for adaptation is rapidly narrowing as the 1.5°C warming threshold is expected to be reached across India’s administrative regions in the near future. “Climate change is not some distant future challenge—it is the reality of today. 2040 is just 14 years away,” said Anurag Behar, CEO, Azim Premji Foundation . “This dataset brings to life the impacts of climate change with much greater immediacy, highlighting how we must restructure our infrastructure and governance to ensure we collectively address this crisis.” The report traces how specific changes—from rising wet-bulb temperatures in Kerala to intensifying monsoons in Maharashtra—are already rendering traditional knowledge systems, like the Nakaih wind calendar, unreliable. It aims to provide the foundational data necessary for local authorities to build district-level resilience. “The data in this report is a mirror that reflects a reality we can no longer afford to ignore. For decades, we treated climate change as a global abstraction — a problem of polar ice caps and distant centuries. But our findings show that for the Indian coastline, the crisis is hyper-local and immediate. Whether it is the heat stress in Ernakulam or the rising salinity in the Sundarbans, our vulnerability is visible in all aspects of our daily lives. We have a short window of time to move from reactive mitigation to proactive adaptation — we need to craft a future that acknowledges the ecological challenges faced by our nation,” said Harini Nagendra, Director, School of Climate Change and Sustainability, Azim Premji University. Maharashtra and Gujarat’s coastal regions are entering a period of significant environmental transition, with Suburban Mumbai projected to see summer maximum temperatures rise by 1.3°C, highlighting the growing need for heat-resilient urban planning. This warming is accompanied by a marked intensification of seasonal rainfall; Suburban Mumbai is expected to face almost an additional week (+6 days) of heavy rain, while districts like Surat and Bhavnagar are preparing for Southwest monsoon surges of 23% and 24%, respectively. These shifts are already impacting local livelihoods: for instance, the Koli community in Mumbai reports business losses when unpredictable rain spells disrupt the traditional drying of prawns. By focusing on the immediate 2040 window, the report provides the granular data necessary for the West Coast to safeguard its infrastructure and unique coastal heritage. Key Findings Rising Temperatures: India’s average temperatures are projected to increase by 1.5°C, with approximately 40 coastal districts likely to see summer temperatures rise by over 1°C. Dangerous "Wet-Bulb" Heat: Coastal Kerala and Tamil Nadu will experience high summer wet-bulb temperatures, nearing the 31°C- levels considered dangerous for humans. Ernakulam Heat Spike: Ernakulam is projected to record the highest increase in maximum summer temperatures projected at +1.3°C among all coastal districts. Intensified West Coast Monsoons: Coastal Maharashtra and Gujarat will receive significantly higher rainfall with suburban Mumbai likely to experience nearly an additional week of heavy rain. Surat’s Monsoon Surge: Surat is projected to see a substantial 23% increase in Southwest Monsoon compared to historical levels. Sea-Level Rise and Erosion: Under moderate emission scenarios (SSP2-4.5)**, global sea levels are projected to rise by 15 cm by 2050, accelerating coastal erosion and creating "ghost villages" in regions like Ganjam, Odisha. Cyclone Risk: Rapid acceleration in sea surface temperatures (0.27°C per decade) is increasing the likelihood of intense tropical cyclones. Impact on Traditional Livelihoods: In Goa, unseasonal rains are destroying entire salt harvests within hours, while warming seas are pushing fish further offshore, leading to "empty nets" for small-scale fishermen. Health and Salinity: In the Sundarbans, rising salinity from frequent embankment breaches is linked to increased skin diseases and menstrual health challenges among women.

Even as the Congress officially declared that Siddaramaiah will continue to be the chief minister of Karnataka, multiple reports citing sources revealed that he will step down later this week and make way for D.K. Shivakumar to take over the top post in the state. What will Siddaramaiah get in return? Sources have claimed that Siddaramaiah has been offered a Rajya Sabha berth and asked to play a national role from Delhi. His son Yathindra Siddaramaiah is likely to be deputy chief minister. Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah is yet give nod to the high command's proposal and sought more time to decide on the issue. Minister loyal to Siddaramaiah and his close aides have reportedly asked him to weigh in all his options before deciding on resigning as CM. The reports come after a day-long discussions between the Congress high command and the state top brass. AICC General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal said the party discussed only the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections and vacant MLC seats. Whatever speculation you people are doing, that is only speculation. No reality at all, said Venugopal denying reports of Siddaramaiah stepping down. He was addressing the media while flanked by Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar. The candidates of Rajya Sabha and Council seats of Karnataka will be announced along with the other seats like Chhattisgarh, like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Jharkhand, like these states. That's all, he said. The nominations for the Rajya Sabha elections have to be filed by June 8. If Shivakumar becomes chief minister, it will put an end to years-long power tussle in the Karnataka Congress unit as his supporters have been claiming that the top job was promised to their leader during the 2023 assembly elections. In November, when the Congress government completed its halfway mark, Shivakumar's supporters camped in Delhi to seek the chief minister's post for their leader. However, Siddaramiah asserted that he wanted to complete the full five-year term as CM. Amid uncertainty in the state leadership, Leader of Opposition in Karnataka assembly R. Ashoka on Tuesday said the power struggle between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar had pushed the government into a coma stage. The CM had said that Ministers will have to tour districts once in 15 days, but the CM himself is not following it. No one is touring their district to address public grievances, everyone is on a Delhi tour... It was said that grievance redressal meetings are not being held. Everyone is on a Delhi tour, Ashoka said.
siddaramaiah-to-continue-as-karnataka-cm-as-congress-high-command-ends-dks-may-revolution-buzz
The Congress high command on Tuesday put an end to speculations of a likely May revolution in Karnataka government, saying Siddaramaiah will continue to be chief minister. Adressing media outside Indira Bhawan in the presence of Siddaramaiah and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, AICC General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal said there was no truth to the speculation about change in Karnataka chief minister. Whatever speculation you people are doing, that is only speculation. No reality at all, said Venugopal. He clarified that the Congress top leaders' meeting with Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar focused on the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections and Karnataka MLC seats. The candidates of Rajya Sabha and Council seats of Karnataka will be announced along with the other seats like Chhattisgarh, like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Jharkhand, like these states. That's all, he added. Ever since the Congress came to power in 2023, Shivakumar's supporters have been seeking his appointment as CM in line with a previously agreed power-sharing formula with Siddaramaiah. Back then, Kharge said that the high command would give the medicine when required. People in the high command Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and I will sit together and deliberate on this... We will give the medicine when required, he said.
