कॉन्स्टेबल से DGP तक, बैज देख ऐसे कर सकते हैं पुलिस में रैंक की पहचान!

विव रिचर्ड्स : एमएस धोनी अभी भी देखने के लिए खिलाड़ी हैं।

नई दिल्ली: रॉयल चैलेंजर्स बैंगलोर के खिलाफ 34 गेंदों में एमएस धोनी के 70 रनों से बाहर नाबाद 70 रन बनाकर विवि रिचर्ड्स ने अपनी बल्लेबाजी क्षमताओं को एक बार फिर से डर दिया है। धोनी ने गेंद को सात बार खड़ा कर दिया, जिसमें हिट भी शामिल था, जिसमें जीतने वाले रनों को सील कर दिया गया क्योंकि चेन्नई सुपर किंग्स ने आरसीबी के 205/8 का पीछा किया।

धोनी फिर से बल्ले के साथ अपने सर्वश्रेष्ठ प्रदर्शन में वापस आ गए, जिससे खेल के अंतिम ओवर में उनकी टीम और प्रशंसकों की पूरी उम्मीद पूरी हो गई। वह और अंबाती (रायुडू) ने पीछा करने के लिए स्वर सेट करने के लिए शानदार प्रदर्शन किया, जो डीजे (ब्रावो) को भी विश्वास करते हुए विश्वास करने के लिए प्रेरित करते थे। चेन्नई कप्तान, उनकी मोहाली एंट्री के विपरीत, बैंगलोर में तुरंत शुरू हुआ था, जो था रिचर्ड्स ने लिखा, उन्होंने हाल ही में प्राप्त आलोचनाओं के बावजूद, वह अभी भी देखने के लिए खिलाड़ी हैं। हमेशा के रूप में, आदमी ने अपनी टीम को एक रोमांचकारी गेम में लाइन पर धक्का देने के लिए शांत रखा, जो हमेशा दोनों मामले में अतीत में मिले थे।

सीएसके और आरसीबी ने बुधवार की रात एम चिन्नास्वामी स्टेडियम में एक रोमांचक आईपीएल टकराव में कुल 33 छक्के लगाए, जिसमें सीएसके से एक महाकाव्य रन का पीछा करने वाले एबी डिविलियर्स और क्विनटन डी कोक ने सीमाओं की आग लगने के बाद घरों को देखा।

बुधवार को बैंगलोर में क्रिकेट का एक शानदार खेल था। आईपीएल में दो सर्वश्रेष्ठ टीमों ने एक-दूसरे का सामना करते समय मुझे विस्फोटक खेल की गंभीरता से उम्मीद थी। रिचर्ड्स ने लिखा, विराट कोहली के बैंगलोर लड़कों के खिलाफ धोनी की कप्तानी के तहत चेन्नई इस समय क्रिकेट में मिले सबसे भयंकर लड़ाई में से एक होगी।

दिलचस्प बात यह है कि घरेलू टीम ने दूसरी पारी में नौ ओवरों में चेन्नई के विस्फोटक शीर्ष क्रम बल्लेबाजी को और भी खारिज कर दिया। युजवेन्द्र चहल और उमेश यादव रन-फ्लो को कम करने के लिए काफी सटीक थे और एक साथ विकेट लेने के लिए पीछा करने वाली टीम के लिए आवश्यक दर के साथ पकड़ना मुश्किल था। लेकिन दबाव में कमी और नसों को पकड़ने के लिए चेन्नई को श्रेय दिया, उन्होंने लिखा।

Disconnect between Pak army HQ and troops: Indian DGMO

• The Indian DGMO has drawn his Pakistani counterpart's attention to the apparent "disconnect" between the country's army headquarters and its troops along the LoC
• He also reiterated that the Indian Army maintains impeccable standards of professionalism and does not target civilians in any manner

NEW DELHI: The Indian Army on Saturday told Pakistan that there appeared to be a "disconnect" between its army headquarters at Rawalpindi, which professes a desire for peace, and its troops on the ground along the Line of Control, who resort to heavy firing and ceasefire violations without any provocation.

"Indian director-general of military operations, Lt-Gen AK Bhatt, told his Pakistan army counterpart (Major General Sahir Shamshad Mirza) to resolve this existing credibility gap to ensure peace and tranquility is maintained along the LoC," said an officer.

This message was conveyed to the Pakistani DGMO after he called Lt-Gen Bhatt for "unscheduled talks" over the hotline at 5pm to allege that Indian security forces had resorted to unprovoked firing and targeted civilians opposite the Poonch sector on the LoC.

But Lt-Gen Bhatt emphatically dismissed the allegation, stressing that "retaliatory firing" by Indian troops had "only been carried out in response to unprovoked and repeated cease-fire violations by Pakistani troops."

While maintaining that the Indian Army will continue its efforts to ensure peace and tranquility on the borders, it will "continue to take all retaliatory measures and retain the right to punitively respond to any provocative acts of aggression from the Pakistani side," said Lt-Gen Bhatt.

The Indian Army has over the last few months repeatedly told the Pakistan Army to desist from actively abetting cross-border terrorism and infiltration, warning that all misadventures to either target Indian troops or provide covering fire to infiltrating terrorists would be met with retaliatory punitive fire assaults.

India has stressed that the main reason for any collateral damage in the cross-border firings is due to Pakistan army's "unacceptable" support to cross-border terrorism and infiltration as well as its strategy to deploy civilians at its forward posts to gain intelligence and act as guides to the terrorists crossing the LoC.

The Army has recorded over 500 ceasefire violations by Pakistan along the 778-km LoC (BSF mans the 198-km international border in J&K) already this year, marking a new high in recent times. The violations in 2014 and 2015 stood at 153 and 152, respectively, while the tally was 228 last year.

Kulbhushan Jadhav case: Pakistan receives Indian response, to consider it

Pakistan has received a response from India in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case and is considering the same, said Dr Mohammad Faisal, Spokesperson Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pakistan on Saturday.

NEW DELHI: Pakistan has received a response from India in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case and is considering the same, said Dr Mohammad Faisal, Spokesperson Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pakistan on Saturday. 

In a surprise move, Pakistan last week gave permission to the 46-year-old Jadhav to meet his wife, months after India had requested Islamabad to grant a visa to his mother on humanitarian grounds.

During a media briefing, Faisal had said that Pakistan was awaiting India's response on the offer.

Confirming the development, Foreign Office spokesperson Mohammad Faisal on Friday said, "The Government of Pakistan has decided to arrange a meeting of Commander Kulbhushan Jhadav with his wife, in Pakistan, purely on humanitarian grounds,” adding that "a Note Verbale to this effect has been sent to the Indian High Commission in Islamabad.”

A former Indian Navy officer, Jadhav was sentenced to death by a Pakistani court in April 2017 on charges of espionage and terrorism.

The International Court of Justice in May halted his execution on India's appeal.

Pakistan has repeatedly denied India consular access to Jadhav on the ground that it was not applicable in cases related to spies.
