IPL 2025: Punjab Kings All-round Show Earns Them 11-run Win Over Gujarat Titans
Indian Premier League: Punjab Kings came up with a fine all-round performance to start their campaign in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season with an 11-run victory over Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Tuesday. Punjab captain Shreyas Iyers unbeaten 97 alongside valuable contributions by Priyansh Arya and Shashank Singh helped the visitors post a massive total of 243/5 in 20 overs after being asked to bat first by Gujarat Titans. In the chase of 244, skipper Shubman Gill and Sai Sudarshan started precariously in the opening exchanges against the dangerous bowling attack of Arshdeep Singh and Azmatullah Omarzai before the former shifted gears in an attempt to keep up with the ever-rising required run-rate. After not contributing any runs to the scoreboard, Glenn Maxwell, on the night he overtook Dinesh Karthik for most ducks in IPL history, struck first blood with the ball in the final over of the power-play when he found Gills edge, which ballooned over to cover point. In came Jos Buttler, on his debut for Gujarat Titans after having played for the Rajasthan Royals for the past seven seasons, and took his time and navigated through the middle overs, letting the set batter Sudharsan take the fight to the Gujarat bowlers. After having a relatively slower start on the night, Sudharsan switched gears after scoring his seventh IPL fifty in 31 deliveries. The opening batter began accelerating and reached 74 runs, in an innings laced with five boundaries and six sixes, before falling victim to Arshdeep. Gujarat decided it was time to send in their Impact Player, Sherfane Rutherford, who announced his arrival in style by smashing two sixes and a four off Marcus Stoinis. With 70 runs required off 30 deliveries, Punjabs death bowling shone on the night, with only 12 runs coming off the next two overs. Buttler, after reaching his 20th half-century, was dismissed by Marco Jansen, bringing Rahul Tewatia to the crease with a mountain of a task ahead of him. In the end, it was a case of too many runs left with not enough balls left for a late rampage. Tewatia was dismissed on the first delivery when he left the crease, and Rutherfords straight shot deviated onto the wickets. Arshdeep castled the West Indies batter to call curtains on the victory. In the first innings, debutant Priyansh Arya got off to a flying start in his IPL career, courtesy of a dropped catch by Arshad Khan in the second over, and took the fight to the Gujarat bowlers after the early dismissal of Prabhsimran Singh. Alongside Iyer, Arya took the bowlers to the cleaners, which included a 21-run fifth over off Arshads bowling. However, Shubman Gill relied on his most trusted spinner, Rashid Khan, to deliver, and he provided the important breakthrough. Off Rashids fourth delivery, in the seventh over, Arya attempted to go big and got a massive top edge. The ball lobbed up and Arshad made no mistake in grabbing the catch the second time around. The introduction of Sai Kishore seemed to be a turning point for the Titans. After conceding only two runs in his first over, he first struck blood with the dismissal of Azmatullah Omarzai before ruining power-hitter Maxwells Punjab homecoming by catching him LBW on the very next ball. After deliberating with his skipper at the other end, the all-rounder opted not to take the review, and the replay further showed the ball was missing the stumps. However, Iyer halted Gujarats attempts to come back in the game by raising a 57-run stand with Marcus Stoinis before the latter was dismissed by Kishore. Iyer and Shashank Singh continued dealing in boundaries and stitched a 71-run partnership off just 28 deliveries. With Iyer struck at 97, Shashank ended up scoring five boundaries in the final over, on his way to scoring an unbeaten 44 off 16 deliveries, with Iyer watching from the non-striker's end and fell three runs shy of his maiden IPL century. Brief scores: With Iyer struck at 97, Shashank ended up scoring five boundaries in the final over, on his way to scoring an unbeaten 44 off 16 deliveries, with Iyer watching from the non-striker's end and fell three runs shy of his maiden IPL century.

Having gone extra mile, boxer Poonam two hits away from national glory
CHENNAI: There's a cloud over Indian boxing because of the existing tussle between the office-bearers within the Boxing Federation of India, the governing body of the sport in the country. The off-the-ring issues are bound to play in the minds of the boxers but Poonam Poonia has one objective at the moment to capture the gold medal in the ongoing national boxing championships in Greater Noida. The Haryana youngster, who competes in 54-57kg category, is two steps away from her goal having registered a solid victory in the quarterfinal stage over Manipur's Kunjarani Devi on Tuesday. It was a good outing (quarterfinal). I have had a good run so far and I'm hoping to go all the way, Poonam, who is representing the Railway Sports Promotion Board, told this daily. Following the Paris Olympics, this is the first noteworthy senior-level competition for women pugilists. A medal-winning performance in the nationals could propel them to bigger events in the months to come. And for the likes of Poonam, it will certainly be a step in the right direction. The former youth world champ is a certified talent but is bound to face stern challenges when she trades blows at the elite level. She's intent on maximising her talent. The BFI might have been dormant in terms of holding camps and competitions after the Paris Games until recently, but Poonam had taken matters in her own hands in order to improve her skills inside the ring. She had travelled to Uzbekistan along with fellow boxer Anamika. I went to Uzbekistan for a two-week training camp just a month or so back. It was a good opportunity to spar with some of the talented boxers. I worked on endurance and power training, she said. Having captured the 60kg national title in 2022, the 23-year-old, who's supported by Olympic Gold Quest, is not shy of experience at this level (at the senior level). And she's looking to elevate her game further by working on her leg strength and other skill sets footwork, agility et al. Daughter of Om Prakash Poonia, a farmer from Burak village (Hisar District), Poonam has done well to come this far. Boxing is something that runs in her family. She was initially inspired by her elder sister, Sonu, who was also among winners' circle on the day in the 60-65kg category. Sonu, who represents All India Police, beat UP's Sarita Rai 5-0. Poonam's brother, Deepak, is also a proficient boxer and is currently part of an ongoing international training camp in Brazil. Her willingness to go the extra mile and support from her family could elevate her to bigger status in the coming years. Simranjit, Jaismine advance Simranjit Kaur (Punjab), Jaismine (SSCB) were some of the more-touted names to produce winning results on the day. Simranjit, a former World Championships bronze medallist, scored a unanimous decision victory over Railways' Prachi in the 60-65kg category to enter the last-four stage. Jaismine, who was part of the Paris Olympics, was even more dominant. The referee was forced to stop her contest as she was too powerful against Hannah Joy of Tamil Nadu. Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu's Kalaivani S (48-51kg) pulled off a big victory over Maharashtra's Devika Ghorpade, a 2022 youth world champion.

Dont Worry About My Hundred: Shreyas Iyers Message To Shashank Singh
Debutant Priyansh Arya: Punjab Kings middle order batter Shashank Singh revealed that skipper Shreyas Iyer, from the very first ball that he faced, told him to not think about the potential milestone for his captain and focus on his game. Iyer continued his impressive form from the Champions Trophy into the new season, which was evident when he hit his first ball faced for a cracking boundary over mid-off, as he scored at a breathtaking strike rate of 230.95, in an innings which included nine sixes and five boundaries on his way to scoring an unbeaten 97. Iyer could have gotten his maiden IPL century but Shashank ended up scoring five boundaries off the last over and did not rotate the strike on his way to helping Punjab reach a massive 243/5 in 20 overs. Yes, it was a good cameo. But looking at Shreyas, that motivated me even more. Let me be very honest - Shreyas, from ball one, said don't worry about my hundred! Just watching the ball and reacting to it. I try and make sure I get the boundaries. When you go at that number, it's more likely that you'll not get a good hit. I know the shots I can back. I focus on my strengths rather than things which I can't do, said Shashank in the mid-game interview. Iyer could have gotten his maiden IPL century but Shashank ended up scoring five boundaries off the last over and did not rotate the strike on his way to helping Punjab reach a massive 243/5 in 20 overs.

IPL 2025: Ashutoshs Shots Against Spin In Blazing Knock For DC Were Very Heartening, Says Bangar
Lucknow Super Giants: Sanjay Bangar, the former India player and batting coach, said for him, the most heartening aspect of Ashutosh Sharmas whirlwind 31-ball 66 not out, that gave Delhi Capitals (DC) an improbable one-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), was his solid stroke-play against spin. With DC slumping to 65/5 in the seventh over, Ashutosh walked in and was on 20 off 20 balls before switching gears to smash an astonishing 46 runs off his next 11 balls to lead his team to an epic win with only three balls to spare at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam. As pointed out by Bangar, who saw Ashutosh closely while being in the Punjab Kings set-up in IPL 2024, the all-rounder was solid in his shots against spinners, like carting leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi for two fours and as many sixes, as well as taking a boundary each off Digvesh Singh Rathi and Shahbaz Ahmed. In the Punjab Kings set-up, he was extremely impressive because if you look at the way Punjab Kings' season went last year, it was basically down to those two individuals, Ashutosh and Shashank (Singh), who were getting the team close and winning matches through some extraordinary skills. This season, I think what I liked about his knock was the way he approached spin because last season, he had certain issues against spin. He also got dismissed against spin (last year), and more so (against) left-arm spin on a couple of occasions. So, he has gone back and worked quite well on those aspects, and if you look at how the LSG bowling was lined up, there were a number of spinners. So, close to 14 or 15 overs of spin were bowled during that innings. So, for him, it must be very satisfying that not only pace, because he loves batting against pace, he has got the shots, and belief. But his overall batting against spin is indeed a very heartening factor, said Bangar, a JioStar expert, to IANS, in a virtual interaction around the 18th edition of the tournament. IPL 2025 has seen younger players like Ashutosh, Vipraj Nigam, Vignesh Puthur, and even a capped Indian player in the form of Ishan Kishan shine, despite the presence of stalwarts of the game such as Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma. According to Bangar, the fearlessness in the bright performances of the younger players results from the IPL providing them with the exposure and platform to succeed and play a vital role in winning matches for their respective teams. Its massive - the kind of impact that IPL has had on Indian teams, because of the exposure, the competitive nature of the tournament, the eyeballs that are there during the entire tournament, it helps these domestic players grow mentally as well because they suddenly start to feel that they belong to the highest level. So, that has been a huge plus for the Indian team. You can clearly see that even if a few players are not available, the strength of the team doesnt diminish, because there is a continuous stream of talented young players who are there, not just to make a mark, but they can come and win a game for the team.

Assault on Army officer: HC raps Punjab Police, asks state govt to explain delay in registering FIR
CHANDIGARH: Expressing strong reservations over the manner in which Punjab Police officials conducted themselves in an alleged assault case involving Colonel Pushpinder Singh Bath and his son Angad Singh Bath, the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Tuesday asked the state government to explain the delay in the registration of a case over the issue and file a detailed reply by March 28. A notice of motion was also issued to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the state by Justice Sandeep Moudgil on a plea by the Colonel. The court also asked the government to explain why it did not proceed with another complaint by a police official who claimed injuries. Questioning the seven-day delay in registering an First Information Report (FIR), Justice Moudgil asked, Why did you not register the FIR when you learnt of the incident? Why this delay? What is the explanation? The bench asked why the Punjab Police were willing to register an FIR based on the complaint of the dhaba owner but refused to heed the complaint filed by the colonels wife. Justice Moudgil said, If your clients were so honest and dedicated, they should have booked them, taken them for medical. Instead, they fled from the spot and spent three days apologizing. The court was hearing a petition filed by Colonel Bath against the State of Punjab. The petition sought the transfer of FIR No. 69, dated March 22, 2025, registered at Police Station Civil Lines, Patiala to the CBI or any independent agency to ensure a free, fair, and impartial investigation. He alleged in the plea that a fair investigation was impossible under the Punjab Police. 'They were like a pack of wolves': Wife of Army colonel attacked by Punjab cops demands CBI probe After the hearing, Deepinder Singh Virk, one of the counsels representing Colonel Bath, said that the high court has directed the state of Punjab to file a detailed reply by Friday. He added that the court has sought a reply on specific points which include all the officers who were present at the spot at the time of the incident. The family of the Colonel had approached the Patiala SSP. Why was the matter delayed for eight days and FIR not registered? The intimation was given by the Colonel's family as soon as the incident took place. To which officer was the information given at the first instance and why did he opt not to register the FIR, he said. The petition read, Despite the seriousness of the offence, the local police failed to take action. Distress calls made to senior officials were ignored and, instead of registering an FIR based on the petitioner's statement, a bogus FIR under 'affray' against unknown persons was filed on the complaint of an unrelated third party. The petition also sought a stay into the probe by Punjab Police and examination of the role of senior police officers in delaying the registration of the FIR. The plea alleges his wife was pressured by the policemen to strike a compromise and further claimed that some cops admitted in a video call to his wife that they were under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident. The family of the colonel on Monday ended their dharna outside the Deputy Commissioner's office in Patiala after they were assured that Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann would hear their grievance in a meeting on March 31. Many ex-servicemen and veterans had joined the dharna led by the family of Colonel Bath. His wife Jasvinder Kaur has demanded the transfer of Patiala Senior Superintendent of Police Nanak Singh. Colonel Bath, currently posted at the Army headquarters in New Delhi, alleged that he was assaulted on the night of March 13.

Battle of Panipat symbol of Marathas' bravery, not defeat: CM Fadnavis
MUMBAI: The third battle of Panipat was a symbol of the bravery of Marathas and not the defeat, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said in the state assembly on Tuesday. Replying to a debate on the 'Last Week Motion' initiated by the opposition, Fadnavis said the state government is building a 'Shiv Smarak' (memorial of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj) in Agra. Land is also being acquired for building a memorial in Panipat (Haryana), where the third battle of Panipat was fought between the Marathas and (Afghan ruler) Ahmad Shah Abdali in 1761, he said. To this, opposition NCP (SP) MLA Jitendra Awhad asked why a memorial is being built in Panipat where Abdali defeated the Marathas. Panipat is not a symbol of our bravery or our defeat. It will remind me of defeat. It was between Ahmad Shah Abdali and (Maratha general) Sadashivrao Bhau. There is no memorial of defeat in the world, Awhad said. Fadnavis then said, The battle of Panipat is a symbol of Marathas' bravery and not defeat. Talking about the historic battle, the CM said it reflected Marathas' valour. The emperor in Delhi was paying chauth (a kind of tribute) to Marathas. When Abdali conquered Delhi, he wrote to Marathas asking them to come to save Delhi, Fadnavis said. The Marathas went to Delhi, defeated Abdali. The Afghan ruler then fled and camped across the Yamuna river, he said. Abdali then wrote a letter to Marathas seeking a truce that Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan should be considered his territory and rest of the country will be of Marathas, the CM said. The Marathas were not linked to (the conflict) but asserted that they will not cede an inch to Abdali. The Marathas fought for the country so that the three regions remain part of India, Fadnavis added.
