Jammu & Kashmir Beat Bengal To Reach Maiden Ranji Trophy Final
Bengal Cricket Academy: Jammu and Kashmir have stormed into their first-ever Ranji Trophy final with a six-wicket win over Bengal on day four of their semi-final at the Bengal Cricket Academy ground on Wednesday. Seam-bowling all-rounder Auqib Nabi once again rose to the occasion, bagging four wickets alongside Sunil Kumar as Bengal folded for 99 in their second innings on day three and tilted the contest in J&Ks favour. Set a target of 126 to win, J&K chased it down in 34.4 overs, with Vanshaj Sharma and Abdul Samad hitting an unbeaten 43 and 30 respectively. In the morning, Mohammed Shami and Akash Deep struck early to dismiss Shubham Pundir (27) and captain Paras Dogra (nine). But Samads counterattack, including two towering sixes off Shahbaz Ahmed over long-on and extra cover respectively, swung the momentum back in J&Ks favour. Sharma, after hitting Suraj Sindhu Jaiswal for three boundaries, sealed the win with a six over Mukesh Kumars head to trigger jubilant celebrations as the players lifted their coach in a huddle. Nabi was rightfully judged as the player of the match for his match haul of nine wickets, bringing in a red-letter day for the J&K side, who have been impressive with the red ball for the last few years.

For now, February 18 will forever be etched in golden letters in the cricketing journey of Jammu and Kashmir.

The second session belonged fully to Karnataka, as they didn't lose any wickets, and both their batters completed centuries. Rahul hit his 25th first-class hundred off 153 balls in the 52nd over, continuing his form from the quarter-final where he notched a match-winning hundred against Mumbai. While captain Padikkal reached the three-figure mark off just 144 balls in the 55th over. With this, Karnataka were 263/1 at the end of the second session.

Fit India Champion Pawan Mann: From the capital city to the peaceful landscapes of Dehradun and nearly all districts across the country, fitness enthusiasts participated in the 61st edition of Fit India Sundays on Cycle (SOC) at close to 1000 locations. The FIT India Movement was launched on August 29, 2019, by the Honourable Prime Minister to make fitness a vital part of daily life. Its goal is to promote behavioural changes and encourage a more active lifestyle. Last year, Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Mansukh Mandaviya introduced Fit India Sundays on Cycle to promote cycling as a fitness activity and to address key issues, including combating obesity and reducing pollution. Over the past year, the programme has reached the remotest areas of the country, transforming into a People's Movement led by the people, with the Fit India Mission of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports serving as a catalyst. This week was no exception, as thousands took to the streets to cycle across the nation. In Delhi, the popular Sunday event was relocated from the city center to Najafgarh, the hometown of legendary cricketer Virendra Sehwag, to broaden participation and attract more fitness enthusiasts. In Najafgarh, excitement was in the air as residents gathered early to experience a unique community fitness program. As 55-year-old Ratan Mittal registered for his cycle, he said, Initiatives like these motivate people of all age groups to step out together. This is not just a fitness movement, it is also a community bonding exercise. My son has come with me, I don't remember the last time we cycled together. This is a wonderful experience. Motivating people included Arjuna Award-winning kabaddi player Shakshi Punia, MMA fighter and Fit India Champion Pawan Mann, Fit India Champion Timsy Bector, and Fit India Ambassador Shivam Gahlot. Bector, who regularly visits SOCs, stated that relocating the event outside central Delhi is an excellent move to raise awareness about the importance of staying fit. Shakshi Punia added, We are delighted to be here. I didn't expect common citizens to show so much interest in a fitness event. Fitness is indeed the most important aspect of our lives and when we do that as a community we motivate each other and it becomes more enjoyable. Pawan Mann added, I think SOC is the largest community fitness movement in the world that happens every Sunday. I thank our Honourable Prime Minister for envisioning the Fit India Movement and our Union Sports Minister for thinking of SOC as a nationwide concept. Meanwhile, the nodal event of the 61st SOC occurred in Dehradun. Surrounded by the foggy hills and winter sunshine of Uttarakhand, the city hosted a lively celebration of fitness, culture, and community spirit as the 61st Fit India Sundays on Cycle took place at the historic Parade Ground on Sunday morning. Over 1000 cyclists set off against the misty hills, tall sal trees, and fresh mountain air; the Parade Ground in Doon Valley turned into a lively hub of movement, music, and enthusiasm, providing the city with a grand event that combined natural beauty with a strong message of healthy living. The event attracted a diverse group of participants, from experienced cyclists to beginners, including school students and senior citizens. As bikes moved through scenic, tree-lined routes, participants took moments to enjoy the picturesque scenery that enhances Dehraduns reputation as one of Indias most beautiful cities. I cycle often, but todays ride was special. The weather, the crowd, and the lively atmosphere made it feel like a festival celebrating fitness, shared Ankit Rawat, a local IT professional, shortly after finishing the rally. Senior dignitaries attended the event in Dehradun on Sunday, February 15, including Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari, the Honble former Governor of Maharashtra and Former Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, along with Khajan Das, the Hon'ble Vidayak.

Also present was Indian mountaineer Tashi Malik, a Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Award winner, who stressed the significance of endurance and discipline. Olympian race walker Manish Singh Rawat, a proud representative of Uttarakhand, participated in the celebrations alongside Arjuna Award-winning basketball legend Vishesh Bhriguvanshi, whose nearly two-decade-long career continues to inspire young athletes nationwide. The presence of Fit India influencers and community role models provided additional inspiration. The event highlighted various routes to health and resilience, featuring endurance enthusiasts like Tara and Sushila from Two Fit To Quit, as well as fitness advocates including Shanky Singh, Pratibha Thapliyal, Damini Chopra, and Vikram Jadav. Shri Koshiyari, aged 83, emphasized the importance of youth maintaining fitness. Regardless of whether you're a sportsman, you should embody a sportsman spirit. We must always uphold this attitude. It should be visible in all areas, he stated. Referring to the fitness mantra from Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, he added, Our Hon'ble PM works 20 hours a day himself. It shows that if we have the determination and fitness, being fit is not impossible at all. We want every youth to remain fit. Let's use all of the seven days for cycling. Colleges and universities served as special partners for this edition of Fit India Sundays on Cycle. A multiple-time gold medallist at the World Boxing Cup and a silver medallist at the World Championships medallist, Nupur Sheoran said, I wasn't expecting so many people to turn out this morning and it is really so amazing. I was having flashbacks of my childhood when I was cycling along with the group. It was a really exciting ride! Shri Koshiyari, aged 83, emphasized the importance of youth maintaining fitness.

Visuls from Neelkanth Mahadev Temple. pic.twitter.com/yvEuAGDnwI ANI (@ANI) February 15, 2026 About Maha Shivratri Maha Shivratri, also known as the Great Night of Lord Shiva, is the sacred time when Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati get married, and Lord Shiva performs the cosmic dance of creation, preservation, and destruction. On this day, Lord Shiva devotees should visit the temple and offer milk, Datura (Thorn Apple) fruit, and flowers. One should also observe fasts, especially married couples, to get a special blessing for their marital life. The Story of Neelkanth According to the legend, the Devas (gods) and Asuras (demons) once churned the cosmic ocean to obtain Amrit (the nectar of immortality). During this massive churning, many divine and dangerous things emerged from the ocean. But before the nectar appeared, a deadly poison called Halahala surfaced. The poison was so toxic that it began to spread through the universe, threatening to destroy all creation. Neither the gods nor the demons could control it. In desperation, they turned to Lord Shiva for help. Maha Shivartri 2026: Visit These Revered Bholenath Temple In Mumbai On The Occasion Of 'Lord Shiva Great Night' Why did Lord Shiva turn blue? To save the universe, Shiva drank the poison. However, instead of swallowing it completely, he held it in his throat to prevent it from spreading inside his body. The poison was extremely powerful and turned his throat deep blue. Goddess Parvati prevented it from spreading through his body, causing his throat to turn blue. The story highlights Shiva's role as protector of the universe and symbol of selfless sacrifice. That is why he is known as NeelKanth , meaning the Blue-Throated One.
