Chance for Ruturaj, Sai & Padikkal to stake Test claim in 4-day games vs Sri Lanka A

After India A clinched the one-day tri-series with Vaibhav Sooryanshi performing the headline act, attention now shifts to their upcoming four-day fixtures, the first of which begins in Galle on Thursday.

India A, led by Dhruv Jurel, has B Sai Sudharsan, Devdutt Padikkal and Ruturaj Gaikwad – three batsmen whose performances will be keenly watched by the senior team management.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu reveals Sai Pallavi was first choice for Maa Inti Bangaaram | Telugu News

3 min readHyderabadUpdated: Jun 7, 2026 04:57 PM IST Actor-producer Samantha Ruth Prabhu did not go looking for Maa Inti Bangaaram. By her own account, she was not even the first person the film went looking for. During a promotional Instagram Q&A on Saturday evening, a fan asked how she ended up in the project. She answered, “I didn’t choose the film, the film chose me. The idea of Tralala was to focus on female-led content, so the initial idea of the film was we wanted to pitch it to Sai Pallavi. But she is obviously busy and I know she didn’t have the time, so the makers tweaked the story for me.” She ended the message by saying that she hopes more female-centric stories are taken by actresses, and one day, Sai Pallavi as well. Reposting this story, Sai Pallavi replied, “Ma Inti Bangaram was meant to reach you, dear Samantha. Sending you and Nandini Reddy the biggest hugs and best wishes. And yes, soon.” Also Read: Dimple Hayathi, Ashika Ranganath defend Janhvi Kapoor …

And wants you to do well for the country, he wants you to do well for the team and win games. So it …
