    Mumbai : Megastar Amitabh Bachchan never misses an opportunity to hail the victory of the women’s brigade.
    Taking to Instagram early Monday, Amitabh Bachchan congratulated the Women’s U-19 team for being the World Cup champions.

    Amitabh’s euphoria was visible in his caption, “INDIA CHAMPIONS !! Women’s U-19 world cup champions in cricket .. beat the British hands down ..khttiyaa khdd’ii kr dii khatiya khadi kar di .. INDIA A resounding victory .. the only sound you heard was INDIA INDIA INDIA !!!”

    India put up a terrific display in the final against England to emerge as the first-ever winners at the U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup on Sunday in South Africa.

    India started their Under 19 Women’s T20 World Cup campaign with a seven-wicket victory over hosts South Africa. A dazzling 92 not out from Shweta Sehrawat spearheaded India’s dominant, seven-wicket victory over hosts South Africa, in their ICC Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup Group D clash at Willowmoore Park in Benoni.

    Earlier in January, Amitabh attended the PSG vs Al Nassr match and shared a video of him meeting football legends Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo before the match.

    Sharing his thought in the caption, he wrote, “‘An evening in Riyadh .. ‘ what an evening .. Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Mbape, Neymar all playing together .. and yours truly invited guest to inaugurate the game .. PSG vs Riyadh Seasons .. Incredible !!!”

    Meanwhile, on the work front, Amitabh was recently seen in the family entertainer film ‘Uunchai’ along with Anupam Kher, Parineeti Chopra and Boman Irani. Helmed by Sooraj Barjatya, the film got positive responses from the audience.

  • Former India captain Anjum Chopra showers praise on the U19 Women’s team

    Former India captain Anjum Chopra showers praise on the U19 Women’s team

    New Delhi: Former India captain Anjum Chopra showered praise on the U19 Women’s team who won the inaugural U19 Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa, saying the country’s name being written in golden letters for winning the first-ever edition of the competition is a big deal.

    “Firstly, winning the World Cup is a big deal and then the Under-19 women’s winning the inaugural World Cup by which the name of India will be written on it in golden letters is a big deal. By the way, the women’s cricket team has played the semi-finals of the World Cup many times and also played the finals many times but never won the trophy.”

    “So, I understand it is a very different feeling and now it looks like we wish we were little kids and once again get a chance to play that’s how I feel. I am so excited that there is no limit to happiness, and it looks like I’ve won the World Cup and great! It’s a golden opportunity for all the cricketers for the bright future ahead of them,” said Anjum to former India men’s player Aakash Chopra on JioCinema’s new daily show ‘Aakashvani’.

    At the JB Marks Oval in Potchefstroom on Sunday, Shafali Verma & Co produced a superb bowling performance coupled with some outstanding fielding to bowl out England for just 68.

    Fast bowler Titas Sadhu, off-spinner Archana Devi and leg-spinner Parshavi Chopra were accurate in their line, length and found enough help to pick two wickets each. Shafali, left-arm spinners Mannat Kashyap and Sonam Yadav took a scalp each in a dominating bowling performance.

    The fielding, despite a few blips, was athletic with some exceptional catches taken by Archana and Gongadi Trisha as England never got going with the bat. In chasing 69, on a slow pitch aiding the spinners, India lost Shafali and Shweta Sehrawat in the first four overs.

    But Soumya Tiwari (24 not out) and Gongadi Trisha (24) shared a vital 46-run stand for the third wicket to complete the chase in 14 overs and give India their first-ever World Cup title in women’s cricket.

    Anjum further pointed out that opener Shweta Sehrawat, who was the tournament’s top-run getter with 297 runs, along with leg-spinner Parshavi Chopra, who picked 11 wickets, the second-most by a bowler in the competition and off-spinner Archana Devi will be the future superstars from the victorious Indian U19 team.

    “Shweta Sehrawat is my highest and the top-ranked player in this Indian team. She is the one who has stood out and given stand-out performances in this World Cup. She nearly missed the Player of the series. In fact, she is the highest run-getter in this entire world cup and she has won three matches and also won the player of the match. So, by adding all these things, I think Shweta Sehrawat for me will be the number one pick.”

    “Then Parshavi Chopra is a leg spinner, again very well done by her by giving the limited performances and the way she bowled. So, she will be my second pick and Archana Devi, a young budding off-spinner who also bats well. So, according to me these three players Archana Devi, Parshavi Chopra and right on top Shweta Sehrawat have been outstanding performers in this tournament.”

  • Karnataka govt to pay Rs 59.9L per day to legal team for border row case

    Karnataka govt to pay Rs 59.9L per day to legal team for border row case

    [ad_1]

    Bengaluru: The Karnataka government has fixed a professional fee of Rs 59.9 lakh a day for the team of senior lawyers, including Mukul Rohatgi to fight the case pertaining to border row with Maharashtra in Supreme Court.

    A Law department order said it has fixed the terms and conditions and professional fee to the legal team to represent Karnataka before the Supreme Court in an original suit (number 4/2004) filed by the government of Maharashtra against Karnataka on the border dispute.

    As per the January 18 order, senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi will be paid Rs 22 lakh per day for appearing before the apex court and Rs 5.5 lakh per day for conference and other works.

    Another lawyer Shyam Divan will be paid Rs six lakh a day for appearing before the court, Rs 1.5 lakh per day for preparation of the case and other works and Rs 10 lakh for outstation visits per day. The government will bear the expenses on hotel facilities and business class air travel.

    The Advocate General of Karnataka will be paid Rs three lakh a day for appearing in the SC, Rs 1.25 lakh per day for preparing cases and other works, Rs two lakh on outstation visits apart from bearing the hotel and business class air travel expenditures.

    The state government has also hired senior lawyer Uday Holla, a former advocate general of Karnataka, who will be paid Rs two lakh per day for appearing in the apex court, Rs 75,000 per day for preparation of the case, Rs 1.5 lakh per day for settlement of pleadings and other works, and Rs 1.5 lakh per day for outstation visits apart from hotel and travel expenses.

    The boundary row had intensified late last year, with vehicles from either side being targeted, leaders from both the States weighing in, and pro-Kannada and Marathi activists being detained by police amid a tense atmosphere in Belagavi.

    The border issue dates back to 1957 after the reorganisation of States on linguistic lines. Maharashtra laid claim to Belagavi, which was part of the erstwhile Bombay Presidency, as it has a sizeable Marathi-speaking population. It also laid claim to over 800 Marathi-speaking villages which are currently part of Karnataka.

    Karnataka maintains the demarcation done on linguistic lines as per the States Reorganisation Act and the 1967 Mahajan Commission Report as final.

    And, as an assertion that Belagavi is an integral part of the State, Karnataka has built the ‘Suvarna Vidhana Soudha’, modelled on the ‘Vidhana Soudha’ here.

    Unbeaten Indian women's hockey team holds hosts South Africa 2-2

    Cape Town: The Indian women’s hockey team remained unbeaten on their South Africa tour thus far as they registered a 2-2 draw against the hosts in its fourth match against them, here on Sunday.

    This was India’s last match against the South African side before they take on World No.1 Netherlands on January 23.

    It was Vaishnavi Vithal Palkhe, playing her debut tour for the senior side, who starred for the team, scoring two crucial goals that helped them hold the home team to a draw.

    South Africa made a strong start on Sunday, after a series of losses against India. The home team had lost 1-5, 0-7, and 0-4 to India thus far. Determined to end the matches against India on a good note, South Africa was the first to make a breakthrough when they capitalized on an Indian infringement.

    The penalty stroke awarded to them was utilized well with Quanita Bobbs beating young goalie Bichu Devi Kharibam to convert the goal in the 8th minute.

    India was able to equalize only in the 29th minute when a good PC variation helped them score a goal. It was Vaishnavi who did well to remain calm and pump the ball into the post.

    South Africa managed to snatch the lead again when Tarryn Lombard struck a field goal in the 35th minute. The next few minutes remained tense with both teams playing on par with each other.

    Vaishnavi finally brought some respite when she converted from a PC in the 51st minute. India did well to tighten their defense in the dying minutes of the match to ensure they walked away with a draw.

    Riyadh: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) marked another milestone as the women’s football national team won its first-ever international friendly tournament, which was hosted by the city of Dammam, between January 11 and 19.

    Four women’s teams participated in the international friendly tournament— Pakistan, Comoros and Mauritius, in addition to Saudi Arabia.
