Synopsis: Propelled to 181 by Quinton De Kock and Nicholas Pooran, Lucknow seal the eve thanks to India’s latest 150 clicks sensation It was none other than Ian Bishop, a distinguished pace-bowling savant himself, who bestowed the title upon India’s latest 150 clicks sensation. He’s played all of two games but Mayank Yadav is already a strong contender for the household name of the season. And for good measure. On Tuesday, bowling on a two-paced wicket, the 21-year-old stuck to a singular approach. One he imbibed at an early age: wind em’ up with pace. That he was able to use it to perfection against a pair of Australians, first-team starters no less, made his match-winning spell of 3/14 all the more special.

Of chess books, firm handshakes and being classical player like Virat Kohli: Vidit Gujrathi gives new wings to old dream at Candidates | Chess News

Published by Webster

In November last year, after Vidit Santosh Gujrathi won the FIDE Grand Swiss tournament and sealed a spot at the prestigious Candidates chess tournament, he offered a rare glimpse into the inner monologue that had been puncturing his thoughts in the post-COVID years when the world had seen a surge of teenaged prodigies from India. It was an odd thought to have, especially since Vidit was only in his mid-20s, the age when most sporting careers take flight. Chess, though, works by its own circadian rhythms. When the Candidates tournament starts next week in Toronto, the two other Indians accompanying the 29-year-old Vidit in the eight-man field — 18-year-old Praggnanandhaa and 17-year-old Gukesh, who will be the second youngest player after Bobby Fischer to play at the Candidates — are proof of that. As the average age of grandmasters emerging from the country has gotten younger and younger with each passing month, it was natural for Vidit to feel a sense of FOMO. The fear of missing out. “Amongst the Indians, Vidit is the player …

Published by Parlour News

Come April and nearly 1.78 crore first time voters will exercise their right to vote in the Lok Sabha elections in Maharashtra. While there is a belief that young voters, who constitute nearly 20 per cent of Maharashtra’s existing voter rolls, are disinterested and disengaged from the country’s political process, political parties in the state launched a sustained campaign to woo many of these first time voters, many of whom are students, to their side. Over the last few days, several programmes were held by different political parties to woo the youth, particularly catering to first-time voters. The programmes, from conducting awareness on the electoral process to setting up kiosks for new registrations, included customised activities to cater to first time voters.

Sharing a short video from Fighter, the Kaabil star wrote, “The dichotomy of Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania took me some time to wrap my head around. Call him Patty or Shammi, there was a constant tug of war within him. Shammi is deeply vulnerable, Patty is head strong and laser focused. Shammi is bogged down by guilt, Patty is chasing redemption.

Rajat Patidar: A brave bird who has finally got the sky to spread his wings | Cricket News

Published by Webster

“Kai baar pankh aur hausle dono hote hai magar udne ke liye aasman nahi hota (Sometimes you have the wings and courage but you don’t have the sky to fly),” former India cricketer Amay Khurasia gives a philosophical touch, while talking about 30-year old Rajat Patidar’s journey. “Two years ago, when he scored that outstanding hundred in the IPL semi-final against Jofra Archer and co., he should have been drafted into the Indian team. The point is he was consistent. He should have got a chance then only,” says Khurasia, who is the mentor of Patidar. It’s not just close mentors who rave about the cricketer from Madhya Pradesh. There is a tale of former India captain and chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar who landed up at ground, enquiring with the coach of MP Chandrakant Pandit about Patidar. “Where is that boy?” When informed that he was missing that domestic game due to a niggle, Vengsarkar got a bit despondent. “He saw the potential. He thought that he should be playing very soon for India. Later …
