Supreme Court of India | File Image (PTI) Supreme Court Justice Surya Kant on Tuesday likened the caste reservation system in India to a “train compartment”, where people who have already secured their seats do not want others to enter. He made the remarks during a hearing related to OBC reservation in the local body elections in Maharashtra. Senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan was arguing on behalf of the petitioner that politically backward and socially backward classes should be identified in the state.

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) brought an end to captaincy suspense at the franchise ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, naming Rajat Patidar as the skipper of the team. Rumours of Virat Kohli taking up the role once again made rounds on the internet since the mega auction concluded but the franchise’s bosses resisted the temptation and went with Patidar, probably keeping a longer-term vision in mind. RCB’s new recruit, Jitesh Sharma, who was bought in the auction for INR 11 crore, dropped a blunt statement in an interview when asked why Kohli wasn’t given the captaincy responsibility. During a CricXtasy podcast, Jitesh was asked if he knew about the franchise’s captaincy decision beforehand. He said that though the official communication came to him while the news was made public, he understood that Kohli will not be becoming the captain again after seeing what was happening in the background. “I got to know about Rajat Patidar becoming the captain when everyone else got to know. But when you have been …
