Yuzvendra Chahal’s 4/25 against Kolkata Knight Riders earned him the tag of highest wicket-taker in IPL - 187 scalps.
Agency News: kolkata
‘Chahal TV’ and its gimmicks on the BCCI’s social media handles perhaps gather more hits than his bowling. On Thursday, Yuzvendra Chahal’s 4/25 against Kolkata Knight
Riders fetched him the tag of IPL’s highest wicket-taker 187 scalps. The first wicket of Nitish Rana saw him overtake Dwayne Bravo’s 183. This was also the seventh time he has taken four or more wickets in an IPL match. Having lived under
the shadows of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the national team, Chahal has never really got the recognition he deserved. The wrist-spinner didn’t play a match in India’s failed campaign in the T20 World Cup in Australia when his presence could have made a difference. But the slightly built Chahal has never lacked the spark or big-match temperament. Consider this piece of statistics of all the spinners who have taken 100 or more wickets in the IPL.
Ricky Ponting points out reason for loss against Chennai Super Kings
Few things have gone right for Delhi Capitals in the ongoing edition of the IPL.
On Wednesday, they crashed to their seventh defeat of the season when they fell 27 short while chasing a 168run target against the Chennai Super Kings. Among other things, Delhi head coach Ricky Ponting thinks that the fact that they have lost wickets in the first over of the game several times this season has hurt them badly. “I think that is the fifth, sixth, maybe seventh time this season where we have lost a wicket in the first over of the game. On one occasion we lost two wickets in the first over of the game. That is clearly an area that we haven’t got right...is pretty obvious where the game was lost,” the former Australia
captain said. Delhi lost skipper David Warner off the very second ball on Wednesday.
Ponting also pointed out the reason for their loss against the Super Kings even though they weren’t chasing a tall target.
“We lost two early, then we lost three early and then the spinners came on...we didn’t show any urgency against the spinners.”

years, it is only right that the results are compared with that of 2019. “This year is a replica of 2019. So we have to make the right comparison, which is clear that results have bettered since.
Last year, the pass percentage was high because exams were conducted in two terms,” said Bhardwaj. Both in 2020 and 2021, exams either could not be held or had to be cancelled midway due to the intensity of the Covid-19. waves and instead an alternative assessment
mechanism was used. Classes were not held, there were learning gaps due to long Covid-induced lockdowns. “So, this is the year when students had the full opportunity to prepare.

Karnataka Polls: BJP, Cong Eyeing PostPoll Alliance with Kumaraswamy; Sources Say ‘JD(S) To Go
Agency News: Kolkata
Inconsistency has been a problem for Venkatesh Iyer this IPL. Since that century against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede, his highest score in his six innings since was only 31. At the Eden on Thursday against Rajasthan Royals, the left-hander batter top-scored for the Kolkata Knight Riders with 57 (off 42 balls), but was scratchy at the same time, especially at the start of his innings which affected skipper Nitish Rana’s flow in particular. Iyer then departed at a time his team needed him to stay out there in the middle. A rescue act
from Andre Russell and Rinku Singh, the Knights’ saviours in their previous game against Punjab Kings, didn’t happen on this occasion as all that KKR could manage was a modest 149/8 after the Royals won the toss and opted to bowl. On a dry Eden pitch, the Royals’ decision to bowl first did come as a surprise. More so, as the Knight Riders bowling attack comprise spinners who would fancy their chances bowling on such a track. The Royals bowlers, however, backed up the team decision, not letting the KKR batters blaze away while taking wickets at regular intervals.

36 nursing students punished for not listening to Prime Minister Modi’s Mann Ki Baat Thirty-six nursing students were barred for a week from stepping out of their hostel after classes in the evening because they had failed to show up for an official gathering to listen to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 100th Mann Ki Baat radio broadcast on April 30. The National Institute of Nursing Education, part of the central government-run Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, issued the punishment order on May 3. Thirty-six nursing students were barred for a week from stepping out of their hostel after classes in the evening because they had failed to show up for an official gathering to listen to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 100th Mann Ki Baat radio broadcast on April 30. The National Institute of Nursing Education, part of the central government-run Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, issued the punishment order on May 3. The institute had earlier declared that attending the programme was “compulsory” for first-year and third-year students. The hostel warden had warned the students that their “outing would be cancelled” if they defied the instruction. But eight first-year students and 28 third-year students did not turn up. Saryu D. Madra, consultant (media) at the PGIMER, played the punishment down. “It’s a regular kind of thing,” Madra told The Telegraph, without elaborating if this meant that such punishments were routine at the institute. Asked who had taken the decision to punish the students, Madra said: “It’s the principal’s prerogative.” She did not take any further questions. Principal Sukhpal Kaur did not wish to comment. “Speak to the PRO and the director, you’ll get the correct information,” she said. The PGIMER director, Dr Vivek Lal, asked this newspaper to contact the deputy director (administration), Kumar Gaurav Dhawan. Dhawan did not respond to calls to his mobile number. On Thursday evening, the PGIMER issued a clarification “regarding banning the outing of nursing students after classes in evening due to non-attending the ‘Mann Kee (sic) Baat’ programme”. “Since some of the students did not share any reason for not attending the session and abstained from the event arranged for them in a lecture theatre, the college authorities took action against them,” it said. “Though it was little over-reaction on the part of the college authorities and the concerned have already been conveyed the displeasure of PGIMER administration.” The clarification asked that the matter “not be given any other connotation or blown out of proportion”.

Did you know that Bollywood star Katrina Kaif had almost rejected her Telugu debut film Malliswari in which she starred alongside Venkatesh Daggubati? Well, an old video of Malliswari producer D Suresh Babu talking about the infamous fiasco has emerged on social media. Malliswari was released in 2004. It was Katrina Kaif’s second film in her career. In the video, shared on Reddit, Suresh Babu revealed that he had signed an
agreement with Katrina for Rs 25 lakh, but she later refused to do the film. “My director had to look for other options, but I wasn’t convinced with them. So, I had to ask her once again. She said, she’d only act in the film if I pay her Rs 65 lakhs. And, she was not even a star. She was like, ‘give me Rs 65 lakh otherwise I won’t work.’” Babu further recalled how he had to go “against my principles” by roping in Katrina for the movie. “I have a signed agreement but still she is asking me for more money.
If I don’t cater to her demands the movie can’t be made. On that day, I called up Ashwini Dutt (Project K producer) and
told him, ‘Sir, I have become just like the other producers.’ I was very disappointed,” he added.
Advance tickets for the Shah Rukh Khan-Deepika Padukone-starrer Pathaan have sold out in Bangladesh ahead of its release in theatres across the country today, according to reports in The Daily Star. “A total of 41 cinema halls will be screening Pathaan around the country, running 198 shows every day. Moreover, tickets for the first and second days are almost sold out already,” Anonno Mamun of Action-Cut Entertainment, the organisation bringing the spy action thriller to Bangladesh, told the daily. “The presence of e-tickets and the box office allow us to easily track how much the film is earning in real-time. Pathaan is getting a good response from the audience as the film’s
recognized under the GST laws.”
The government initially had a threshold of Rs 500 crore that has been lowered periodically to Rs 5 crore. Deloitte India partner leader indirect tax Mahesh Jaising said more MSMEs
would come under the rule. “For companies, e-invoicing is a boon rather than a bane as suppliers who are e-invoicing compliant result in proper flow of input tax credit and reduce the churn around credit issues,” Jaising said. AMRG & Associates senior partner Rajat Mohan said the phased implementation of e-invoicing has resulted in reduced disruptions, improved compliance and increased revenue. “Inclusion of MSME sector would benefit the ecosystem by reducing costs, rationalising errors, ensuring faster invoice processing and limiting commercial disputes.”
