But ‘Starboy’ Angkrish Raghuvanshi is now encouraged to carry on as wicketkeeper, after the franchise undertook a project to turn him into a stumper last September. Coach Abhishek Nayar was always convinced of the batting talent of the young Mumbaikar. But last September, he would sound off fielding coach Dishant Yagnik, who was Rajasthan wicketkeeper and also in the IPL from 2011-2014. But he most notably helped Jammu and Kashmir, one of domestic cricket’s finest fielding units to win the Ranji Trophy, earlier in February. But even while steering the Ranji underdogs, Yagnik was told of KKR coach Nayar’s plans for the tall Angkrish. His fitness and flexibility workouts were marked out in preseason, and he even topped Nayar’s circuit test, an outdoor improvised Hyrox of sorts. After 10 quiet, uneventful games, though, Angkrish came good against DC. The youngster who completed 1000 runs, was marked out for …

Violence, loss, and uncertainty are not abstractions in this profession; they are lived realities. For officers on the ground, the challenge is not only confronting danger in the moment but returning to duty the very next day with the same clarity of purpose. What lessons can aspirants and young officers draw from someone who has lived through such moments, from Naxal encounters in remote forests to the horrors of the 26/11 terror attacks? Over the course of his 35-year career in the Indian Police Service (IPS), Krishipal Raghuvanshi dealt with some of the country’s most complex internal security challenges – from combating Naxalism in the forests of Gadchiroli to investigating organised crime networks such as D-Company in Mumbai and responding to terrorism. …
