Ravindra Jadeja Returns to India Squad for Sri Lanka Tests

The BCCI senior selection committee has named the India squad for the upcoming two-match test series against Sri Lanka, which features the return of Ravindra Jadeja. However, Washington Sundar has been ruled out due to his injury. Uncapped off-spinner Saransh Jain has received his maiden call-up and will be replacing the injured all-rounder. Washington Sundar was ruled out of the series due to a hamstring injury during the England tour. The 33-year old Saransh Jain is also a handy lower-middle order batter, impressed for India A in Sri Lanka. In the second day four-day match against Sri Lanka A in Galle, he picked six wickets in two games and scored a 70 not out at No. 7 to help India A win by 10 wickets. Jasprit Bumrah and Sai Sudharsan were named in the 15-member squad, but are subject to fitness clearance from BCCI’s Centre of Excellence. “Sai Sudharsan and Jasprit Bumrah’s availability will be subject to fitness clearance from the BCCI COE,” said a BCCI statement.

Ex-MLA Ravindra Dhangekar, wife Pratibha get anticipatory bail in Pune contractor suicide case; no relief for Shedge

Pune: A Pune sessions court on Thursday granted anticipatory bail to former MLA and Shiv Sena leader Ravindra Dhangekar and his wife Pratibha Dhangekar in a case related to the alleged abetment of suicide of a city contractor, while rejecting a similar plea filed by former corporator Bala Shedge. The court observed that the prosecution had prima facie failed to establish a direct nexus between the former legislator Ravindra and the deceased’s business transactions. Additional Sessions Judge Aniruddha Sulbha Subhash Gandhi allowed anticipatory bail applications filed by the Dhangekars. The Swargate police had registered an FIR on July 15 against Dhangekar, his wife and several others for allegedly abetting the suicide of a 65-year-old contractor from Gultekdi, who allegedly ended his life after recording videos and leaving behind suicide notes blaming his business associates for prolonged mental harassment and financial losses. A case was registered at Swargate police station under Sections 108 (abetment of suicide), 316(2), 351(2), 352 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). While granting relief, the court examined the FIR, the …

State aims at 32% growth in mining sector, says Minister Kollu Ravindra

State aims at 32% growth in mining sector, says Minister Kollu Ravindra

Mines Minister Kollu Ravindra. File photo: Special Arrangement The launch of the Jonnagiri gold mining project marked a historic moment for Andhra Pradesh as one of India’s most significant mining ventures, said Minister for Mines Kollu Ravindra on Wednesday. Speaking at the inaugural of the project at the Geomysore Services (India) Private Limited’s gold mining project site, near Tuggali, Mr. Ravindra said the mega venture had materialised due to Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s vision and initiative. Mr. Ravindra observed that the coalition government was placing renewed emphasis on mining, with the objective of making Andhra Pradesh a leading contributor to the country’s mineral requirements. He alleged that the mining sector suffered devastation during the previous YSRCP government’s term, when the growth rate plummeted to 7% from the 24% during the earlier TDP term (2014-19). Criticising the YSRCP regime for allowing illegal sand extraction, weak regulation of mining operations, and policies that damaged the State’s mineral wealth, he said that the loss to the exchequer was ₹19,131 crore. “The coalition government has introduced reforms aimed …

Ravindra Jadeja left out by RR for IPL match vs DC due to workload management

Ravindra Jadeja left out by RR for IPL match vs DC due to workload management

2 min readUpdated: May 17, 2026 07:58 PM IST Rajasthan Royals’ veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was omitted from the crucial fixture against Delhi Capitals on Sunday due to workload-related issues. Speaking after losing the toss and being asked to bat first, Rajasthan skipper Riyan Parag revealed that Jadeja was left out of the side to manage his workload levels. Uttar Pradesh-born wicket-keeper Ravi Singh replaced Jadeja in the XI, making his IPL debut. Interestingly, the Royals have only featured in two matches in three weeks this month, enduring successive losses to Delhi and the Gujarat Titans. “As far as today is concerned, there’s just one change. Jaddu bhai misses out because of his load management and all of that,” said Parag, who is also returning for his first match since picking up a hamstring injury in the previous match against Delhi in Jaipur. The 37-year-old Jadeja, who returned to his first IPL franchise via a trade deal from Chennai Super Kings ahead of the season, has featured in 11 matches. The left-hander has amassed 190 …

IPL 2026: Have CSK found a new spin duo in Akeal Hosein and Noor Ahmad to take over the mantle from R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja | Cricket News

IPL 2026: Have CSK found a new spin duo in Akeal Hosein and Noor Ahmad to take over the mantle from R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja | Cricket News

Akeal Hosein and Noor Ahmad, this was not the duo that Chennai Super Kings thought would turn into their spin twins. With R Ashwin retiring and Ravindra Jadeja moving to Rajasthan Royals, it seemed CSK were moving away from their tried and tested template. At the auction, when they showed reluctance to pursue proven Indian spinners and bought Hosein on board, it raised eyebrows. With Noor being their first-choice tweaker and Akeal being predominantly a Powerplay bowler, the question was how will they slot both? Fielding two overseas spinners isn’t a tactic most franchises prefer as it disrupts balance. Yet, in the match against Kolkata Knight Riders at Chepauk a week ago, Chennai saw encouraging signs when the duo spun them to victory in what was the first defence of a target under 200 this IPL season. Akeal, a left-arm orthodox, isn’t complex to read. He just has two variations – the seam-up delivery that comes in with the angle and the arm delivery. Beyond that, he relies on changing his trajectory and pace. In …

Ashwin puzzled by Riyan Parag’s move to not bowl Ravindra Jadeja in death overs | Ipl News

Ashwin puzzled by Riyan Parag’s move to not bowl Ravindra Jadeja in death overs | Ipl News

3 min readApr 20, 2026 12:27 PM IST After Rajasthan Royals lost by four wickets to Kolkata Knight Riders, Ravichandran Ashwin was critical of Royals captain Riyan Parag’s decisions in the second innings. In particular, Ashwin was stunned by Parag not handing the ball to Ravindra Jadeja in crunch situations at the death, despite theace all-rounder conceding just eight runs in his three overs. Parag had made some bold choices with the ball, like handing himself an over and then tossing the ball to Brijesh Sharma in the 18th and 20 overs for the first time in the IPL. “If you can give the 18th and 20th over to Brijesh Sharma for the first time in an IPL, then of course you can give the ball to Ravindra Jadeja!” Ashwin said on his Hindi YouTube channel Ash ki Baat. “What should I say about Riyan Parag’s decisions? The game was on the line, Ravindra Jadeja managed to get a false shot off Rinku Singh’s bat. If Nandre Burger had held on to that chance, the …
