Rachin-Conway lead NZ’s batting, 201-5 at Tea break

The second test between India and New Zealand kicked off today 9:30 at MCA stadium, Pune. Visiting captain Tom Latham won the toss and elected to bat first. An ideal decision on a typical spin friendly Indian pitch. New Zealand batters and  Indian bowlers had even competition until now. After 2 sessions, the scoreboard stands at 201-5 in 62 overs. Rachin Ravindra continued to pile up runs with his 65(105) (5×4 and 1×6). For India Ravichandran Ashwin and Washington Sundar took 3 and 2 wickets respectively.

The Indian team made 3 changes. Shubhman Gill was fit to participate and he replaced KL Rahul, Washington Sundar replaced Kuldeep Yadav to strengthen depth in batting and Akash Deep replaced Md. Siraj. On the other hand, New Zealand was forced a change due to Matt Henry’s glute niggle. All rounder Mitchell Santner subbed in for Henry.

NZ had a cautious start. Openers Tom Latham and Devon Conway stitched 32 runs partnership and were set for a big stand before Ravi Ashwin trapped Kiwi skipper Latham lbw. Another 44 runs were added by Conway and Will Young. Young fell prey to Ashwin at 18. First session ended with 102-2 and neither of the sides were dominant.

Rachin Ravindra and Conway added 62. Conway was trapped caught behind by Ashwin. The southpaw contributed 76 to Kiwi’s total. Daryll Mitchell joined Rachin for a 59 run stand. Sundar picked two wickets of Rachin Ravindra and Tom Blundell in quick succession. With 3 wickets and slow run rate, India had upper hand on Kiwis in second session.

This test match holds significant role for India in its hunt to qualify for WTC final and to save this series as well. India will be batting in 4th innings, hence it needs to capitalize in first 2 days. If it goes down to 4th or 5th day, Kiwis will have an advantage. NZ spinner Ajaz Patel has a good record on Indian soil. Back in Mumbai, 2022,  Patel took all 10 wickets in the innings putting him in history books.

BJP’s Cautious Approach in Maharashtra Assembly Elections: Retains 80 MLAs

BJP’s Cautious Approach in Maharashtra Assembly Elections: Retains 80 MLAs

In a strategic shift ahead of the Maharashtra Assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has decided to retain 80 of its sitting MLAs in its first candidate list of 99 announced on Sunday. This marks a departure from the party’s previous tactics, particularly after a disappointing performance in the recent Lok Sabha elections, where it won only nine out of 28 contested seats.

State BJP president Chandrashekhar Bawankule emphasized that “the sole criteria for giving a ticket is winnability.” He added that the decision-making process is collective, with a strict mechanism in place to assess each candidate’s prospects. Senior party leaders indicated that, unlike in Gujarat and Haryana—where significant numbers of incumbents were dropped—the Maharashtra strategy focuses on stability, particularly in a politically charged environment.

A BJP insider revealed that the party is keen to avoid unrest among its ranks, especially given the stronger opposition presence in Maharashtra. “We don’t want to promote rebels or Independents,” stated a senior Cabinet minister.

Despite retaining many MLAs, the party faced backlash from some aspirants left off the list. Reports suggest that several have approached Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, advocating for their candidacies. In a notable case, Narayan Rane’s son, Nitesh, is set to contest from Kankavli, while his brother Nilesh is likely to join the Shiv Sena after being denied a ticket.

The party also seems to be balancing familial ties; while some leaders cited a “one family, one ticket” norm, others noted exceptions like the Shelar brothers. In key constituencies such as Shrigonda and Chinchwad, candidate changes were made with the outgoing MLAs’ consent, indicating a careful approach to local sentiments.

Among the retained MLAs are prominent figures including Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil, with the party aiming to project a united front as it heads into the elections. The BJP’s cautious strategy reflects its aim to consolidate support and enhance its electoral prospects in a competitive political landscape.

I’ve gained a guardian angel. I will love you for the rest of my life and beyond, carrying our dreams and memories with me wherever I go. Forever yours, Katelyn 444.”

SEBI Chief Madhabi Puri Buch Skips Parliamentary Panel Meeting, Session Adjourned.

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) adjourned its scheduled meeting on October 24 after Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch informed the panel she would not be able to attend due to personal reasons. Buch was summoned along with other senior SEBI officials as part of an ongoing review into the performance of financial regulatory bodies amid allegations related to her conduct.

The panel had aimed to scrutinize SEBI’s handling of sensitive issues, including the controversy surrounding Buch’s alleged investments linked to the Adani Group, raised earlier by U.S.-based Hindenburg Research. Despite SEBI’s inquiries about whether Buch’s physical presence was essential, the parliamentary committee insisted on her attendance, intensifying political interest in the matter.

This review falls under a broader PAC initiative to assess regulatory bodies established by Parliament, including SEBI and the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). Opposition parties have pressed for accountability from Buch, pointing to Hindenburg’s allegations and raising conflict-of-interest concerns. Both Buch and her husband, Dhaval Buch, previously denied these accusations, labeling them as “false and motivated.”

The meeting was originally scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. in Delhi but was postponed until further notice. The panel’s questioning will now be rescheduled, with the committee expected to revisit SEBI’s role and response to market irregularities flagged by Hindenburg’s report. This development has become a flashpoint in an already contentious debate over regulatory oversight, with opposition members demanding deeper scrutiny of SEBI’s actions regarding the Adani Group’s compliance with market rules.

Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena Gets Updated ‘Mashaal’ Symbol for Maharashtra Polls.

Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena Gets Updated ‘Mashaal’ Symbol for Maharashtra Polls.

Ahead of the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has assigned a revised version of the ‘mashaal’ (flaming torch) symbol to Uddhav Thackeray’s faction, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray). This adjustment follows criticism during the Lok Sabha elections when the original symbol was mocked by the faction itself for resembling an ice cream cone. The modified design now offers a clearer depiction of a torch to prevent further confusion.

The allocation of election symbols became crucial after the 2022 split in Shiv Sena, which saw Uddhav Thackeray and Eknath Shinde leading two rival factions. The ECI granted the name “Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena” to the Shinde group, while Thackeray’s faction was labeled as Shiv Sena (UBT). The EC also denied both factions symbols such as the ‘Trishul’ (trident) and ‘Rising Sun’ due to their unavailability on the list of free symbols.

Simultaneously, tensions within the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) an alliance of Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP (Sharad Pawar) have surfaced over seat-sharing negotiations. Thackeray has urged his allies to avoid internal disputes that could jeopardize their chances in the polls. Seat-sharing agreements are still in progress, with the alliance under pressure to finalize them soon.

The Maharashtra Assembly elections, scheduled for November 20, 2024, will determine control of the state’s 288-member legislature. Both the opposition MVA and the ruling BJP-led coalition, Mahayuti, are working to secure favorable alliances before the polls.

Uttar Pradesh Labourer Injured in Terror Attack in Kashmir’s Tral Amid Surge in Violence Against Non-Locals.

A migrant worker from Uttar Pradesh, Shubam Kumar, was shot and injured by terrorists on Thursday in the Tral area of South Kashmir’s Pulwama district. The attack occurred in Batagund village, where Kumar, a native of Bijnore, was working. He suffered a gunshot wound to his arm and is currently undergoing treatment at a local hospital, with doctors confirming that his condition is stable.

This attack is part of a disturbing pattern of violence targeting non-local workers in Kashmir. It comes days after two fatal incidents. On October 18, Ashok Kumar Chavan, a migrant from Bihar, was found dead with multiple bullet wounds in Shopian. Another shocking attack took place on October 20, when seven people, including six non-local workers, were killed at a construction site in Ganderbal. The assailants, armed with sophisticated weapons, targeted the workers employed at the Z-Morh tunnel project along the Srinagar-Sonamarg highway​.

Spider-Man 4 to Begin Filming in Summer 2025, Confirms Tom Holland

Tom Holland has officially confirmed that production for the much-anticipated Spider-Man 4 will commence in the summer of 2025. During his recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actor shared that preparations for the new film are nearly complete, expressing his excitement about reprising the role of Peter Parker.

This marks Holland’s first major announcement regarding the next installment in the Spider-Man franchise, following ongoing discussions about a potential sequel after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). Holland previously hinted that he and Zendaya, who portrays MJ, had already read a draft of the script, fueling anticipation for the project.

While plot details remain under wraps, Holland suggested the new film may take a more personal narrative direction, possibly continuing Peter Parker’s grounded journey following the emotional conclusion of the last film. Fans are also speculating that this could be the film where the MCU introduces Miles Morales, adding a new dimension to the storyline.

The film’s summer 2025 shoot suggests that fans could expect a release sometime in 2026, giving Marvel time to align it with the broader MCU roadmap.

Maharashtra Polls: Shinde Confident of Rane’s Commanding Lead

Mumbai: As Maharashtra prepares for its upcoming assembly elections, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has expressed strong confidence in a significant victory for Nilesh Rane, the BJP candidate contesting from Kudal-Malvan. Shinde predicts Rane will secure a lead of around 52,000 votes, a bold assertion that underscores the ruling alliance’s optimism as they gear up for the polls set for November 2024.

Nilesh Rane, the son of senior BJP leader Narayan Rane, recently made headlines by officially joining Shinde’s faction of the Shiv Sena. His political pedigree and the backing of prominent leaders position him as a formidable candidate in a constituency that holds considerable significance in Maharashtra’s political landscape. At a rally, Shinde stated, “People are aware of the work we have done; they will show their support through the ballot box.” This sentiment reflects the strategy of the Mahayuti alliance to leverage its governance record to win over voters.

Also Read: Uddhav Sena in trouble again…

In recent developments, the BJP released its first list of candidates, announcing 99 nominees, which marks a proactive approach to electoral preparations. This list primarily features sitting BJP MLAs and strong contenders, highlighting the party’s commitment to maintaining its influence in the region. In contrast, tensions are escalating within the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition, particularly between Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena and the Congress party, over contentious seat-sharing arrangements. Disagreements regarding just a few seats have the potential to fracture the alliance, which may impact their overall electoral strategy.

Political analysts are closely monitoring the dynamics within the Kudal-Malvan constituency, where Rane’s candidacy is expected to galvanize support among BJP loyalists. The region has historically been competitive, and the BJP’s well-organized campaign strategies, combined with Rane’s local connections, could play a crucial role in shaping the election outcome.

As both the ruling alliance and the opposition finalize their candidate lists, the coming weeks will be critical. The elections are not just a test of popularity but also a reflection of the shifting political alliances and voter sentiments in Maharashtra.
