Yogi Adityanath to spearhead ‘Jan Aakrosh Mahila Padyatra’ in Lucknow on women’s quota row

Published by Webster

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath, is set to lead a ‘Jan Aakrosh Mahila Padyatra’ in Lucknow on Tuesday, marching from his official residence to the state Assembly over the defeat of the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill in the Lok Sabha.  The march, covering a distance of around 1.75 kilometres, is expected to begin shortly and will see the participation of Cabinet ministers, BJP leaders, and hundreds of women supporters. The protest has been organised to express strong political opposition to the Bill’s defeat over being linked to delimitation and the 2011 Census. BJP leaders are alleging that the setback has hurt women’s representation rights. The padyatra is being projected as a demonstration of “women’s anger,” with the ruling alliance asserting that the issue will have long-term political consequences.

T20 World Cup | Another day in the life for Jasprit Bumrah: Immaculate spell from pace spearhead first pegs South Africa back, then stalls their assault

5 min readAhmedabadUpdated: Feb 22, 2026 09:55 PM IST The crowd breathed out. Jasprit Bumrah, the son of the soil, had completed a delivery. Sharp as the edge of the sharpest knife. The batsman, Tristan Stubbs, was happy that he mustered a single; that he survived. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO It’s not the five-act drama that is Test cricket, but the flash fiction world of T20s, where Bumrah reduced a boundary-scrambling death over into a fragment of a five-day cricket survival act. The crowd held its breath again. Bumrah, flashing a laidback grin, trudges back to the run-up. The time for magic kicks in, the pulse soars, expectation brims. No other bowler in this format creates an emotion as strong as Bumrah does. No one produces as much theatre; no one makes bowling in T20s an event in itself. It’s a batsman’s format that Bumrah has recast into a bowler’s canvas. That could be his enduring genius in this format. T20 spells are blurs. There is no tease, no elaborate weaving of traps, no cat-and-mouse …

Border-Gavaskar Trophy: ‘Jasprit Bumrah is miles ahead of any other bowler’ : Former Aussie pacer Brett Lee puts his weight behind Indian pace spearhead | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Border-Gavaskar Trophy: With a total of 21 wickets in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar trophy, Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah stands atop the leading wicket-taker in the series. With Australian pacers Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins having taken 14 wickets each in the series, the Indian fast bowler has made sure that there is a big gap between him and Aussie pacers in terms of wickets in this series. Former Australian pacer Brett Lee, who played in 76 Test matches and took 310 wickets for Australia, believes that the Indian pacer is miles ahead of any other bowler. “He is world class, Jasprit Bumrah. Unfortunately they had no Mohammed Shami, but I think the backing of Mohammed Siraj — there has been a bit of conjecture around him — but I think he has bowled really well. From my opinion, they have an attack that has some good pace bowlers, but the reason why people say or think he is shouldering the whole load of the attack is because he is so good. He is miles ahead of …

Jasprit Bumrah’s 200th international outing in Perth during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy opener could not have been any more special. The seam spearhead, pivotal in India’s 295-run victory, capped off his leadership duties with match figures of 8/72, the best by any visiting fast-bowling captain Down Under. A repeat in the wickets column in the Pink-Ball Test, starting Friday on his 31st birthday, will place Bumrah atop a special bracket of Test cricket’s bowling metronomes. It is also opportune to review the gradual unfurling of Bumrah’s genius in a spectacular eight-year journey comprising 200 games while battling two major back injuries that could have blighted most quicks in the sport. Like the magical blade that “only takes in what makes it stronger”, Bumrah’s return from a long injury layoff in 2023 has only seen elevated tenacity in all colours and conditions for India. Since his comeback after an 11-month hiatus on August 18, 2023, Bumrah has sent down 438.5 overs across 11 Tests, 10 ODIs and 10 T20Is. Only Josh Hazlewood has bowled more overs among …

Former England pacer Steven Finn lauded Jasprit Bumrah’s performance in the Perth Test against Australia and has called him a the “best player” in the world. Bumrah, whose 5 for 30 in the first innings of the Test skittled Australia out for 104, and then returned with the figures of 3 for 42 in the second. “Yashasvi Jaiswal scored that brilliant 161, but the player that I loved watching and I think is actually the best player in the world, bar none at the moment, is Jasprit Bumrah,” Finn said on TNT Sports. “I mean, He’s just, he’s a joke, honestly. “I stayed up all night watching him bowl. I can’t keep my eyes off him. Jasprit Bumrah in action. (FILE) “You watch him bowl and you just think, I’m glad that I don’t have to strap my pads on.” Finn explained Bumrah’s brilliance on how he outsmarted the Australian batters in Perth. “If we just think back to those deliveries there, and he’s pinned them all on the pads straight, which you don’t see …

Treesa-Gayatri, Priyanshu to spearhead lead Indian challenge

Published by Webster

With India’s senior players on a break following their Paris Olympics campaign, the youngsters will be eager to make a name for themselves at the Hong Kong Open Super 500, starting Tuesday. The tournament will mark the return of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand to the BWF World Tour circuit. The promising Indian women’s doubles pair did not turn up for three tournaments in a row since they made a quarterfinal exit at the Canada Open. The World No. 26 Indian pair, technically the country’s highest-ranked women’s doubles duo since Ashwini Ponnappa retired, gave a good account of themselves at the Singapore Open in June by making a third-place finish. Treesa and Gayatri, however, failed to make it to the Paris Olympics on the back of a poor season. Yet, they played a pivotal role in the Indian women’s team’s historic Badminton Asia Team Championships triumph in February in Malaysia. Although Treesa and Gayatri are a talented pair, they struggled for years to exude consistency. At the Asia Team Championships, they pulled off the biggest …
