Bengaluru: The M Chinnaswamy Stadium was bathed in red on Saturday night — not just in colour, but in the commanding form of defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru as they opened their IPL campaign with a six-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad.After pacer Jacob Duffy (3/22) set up the game with a dream debut, it was Devdutt Padikkal and Virat Kohli who lit up the chase. Padikkal’s fluent 61 off 26 balls and Kohli’s unbeaten 69 off 38 ensured RCB made light work of the 200-run target, getting home with 26 balls to spare.Playing in his backyard, Padikkal looked in complete control. Fresh off an impressive domestic season that saw him play a key role in Karnataka’s run to the Ranji Trophy final, the left-hander carried that form into the nightWalking in after Phil Salt’s (8) early departure, Padikkal wasted little time settling in. A trademark flick for six off Jaydev Unadkat set the tone. Particularly impressive was his intent against left-arm pacer David Payne, including a one-knee six.Often criticised for getting stuck on the crease, Padikkal showed improved footwork and raced to his half-century with a crisp straight drive, as Kohli cheered from the other end. Padikkal, going for a big one against Harsh Dubey, failed to get past the mid-off region with Klaasen taking a regulation catch. Kohli, who was on 30 when the partnership ended, shifted gears. He anchored the innings through a brief wobble that saw skipper Rajat Patidar (31) and Jitesh Sharma (0) fall off successive deliveries to Payne. With the finish line in sight, Kohli and Tim David (16 n.o) wrapped it up without fuss.

Duffy, Ishan show

The early narrative belonged to debutants – one making his IPL bow, the other leading a side for the first time in the competition.RCB pacer Jacob Duffy marked his debut in style, ripping through SRH’s top order. But Ishan, captaining SRH for the first time, stood firm against the early burst, producing a counter-attacking 38-ball 80 to pull his side out of trouble.SRH recovered from early jolts and owed their total to Ishan’s composure and Aniket Verma’s (43 off 18balls) late flourish.Duffy made an immediate impact. Spearheading the bowling attack in the absence of Australian quick Josh Hazlewood, the New Zealand pacer struck in his second over to break the back of SRH’s explosive top order. Abhishek Sharma miscued a pull to wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma. Five balls later, Travis Head fell to a short ball, pulling straight to Phil Salt at deep backward square leg. Nitish Reddy followed soon after, top-edging another short delivery to Abhinandan Kumar at midwicket.While wickets fell around him, Ishan held his nerve. The left-hander found his rhythm against medium pacer Abhinandan Kumar in the sixth over, smashing 6, 4, 6 to signal a shift in momentum.Fresh from a strong T20 World Cup campaign, Ishan carried that form seamlessly. Ishan found an able ally in Heinrich Klaasen (31), and the duo stitched together a crucial 97-run stand for the fourth wicket.Just as Ishan looked set for a century, his 74-minute stay ended in dramatic fashion, with Salt pulling off a stunning one-handed catch at the boundary off to become Abhinandan’s maiden IPL wicket.

Mumbai: Observing that the five-year-old girl trusted the accused as he was her uncle’s factory employee and even danced on his shoulders before he sexually assaulted her and left her undressed in a swamp, a special Pocso court on Wednesday sentenced a 31-year-old man to 10 years’ rigorous imprisonment (RI) for the aggravated penetrative sexual assault of the child during a wedding celebration in 2016. The convict has been in custody as an undertrial for over a decade, having been arrested the day after the incident on Jan 2, 2016. “The innocent girl was unable to resist the act of the accused… The accused was 21 years old at the relevant time. He was quite masculine; he overpowered the girl, who was very small. She was helpless against the act of the accused. The act of the accused is scarred on the sole of the victim,” special judge Ashwini D Lokhande said. While the court acquitted him of the charge of attempt to murder due to lack of evidence regarding intent to kill, he was found guilty under various sections of the IPC and the Pocso Act, including kidnapping and criminal intimidation. “In the present case, there is no evidence to prove that the accused caused hurt to the victim with the intention and knowledge that it would cause the death of the victim,” the judge said. Special public prosecutor Usha Jadhav established that on New Year’s Day in 2016, the victim and her mother were attending a relative’s wedding. During the celebrations, the accused, who worked for the victim’s uncle, was seen dancing with the child on his shoulders. When the mother briefly stepped away to drink water, the accused abducted the girl and took her to a swampy, wooded area near a municipal garden. He was later seen fleeing the spot by a witness who found the child unclothed, traumatised, and covered in mud. The girl later identified the accused, detailing how he had scratched her, bitten her, and subjected her to digital penetration. During the trial, the defence argued that the accused had been falsely implicated due to a financial dispute with his employer and pointed to procedural lapses in the investigation, including delays in sending forensic samples. However, the judge found the victim’s testimony and the medical evidence conclusive. The medical report confirmed various external injuries, including nail scratches on the child’s neck, waist, and thighs, as well as a bite mark on her lip.The judge observed that the prosecution successfully proved the foundational facts of the case. “The victim was 6 years old at the time of the incident. The accused, being the worker… the victim posed trust in him and danced with him at the relevant time. However, the accused had taken undue advantage of her innocence and took her into the swamp area at night.”Since the accused has been in jail since Jan 2016, the judge granted him set-off for the period already undergone. The judge also recommended the case to the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) for awarding compensation to the victim.

Naseem Shah has come under the scanner of the Pakistan Cricket Board after a now-deleted social media post from his official X account appeared to take a dig at Punjab (province of Pakistan) Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz during the opening game of the Pakistan Super League.What was the incident?The post, which quote-tweeted a PCB update from the opener between Quetta Gladiators and Hyderabad Kingsmen in Lahore, read: “Why is she treated like the Queen at Lord’s?” It was widely seen as a remark aimed at Maryam Nawaz’s high-profile arrival at Gaddafi Stadium, where she was escorted by a large security convoy and later interacted with players.
