Senior India batter KL Rahul has been ruled out of the Rajkot Test against England after failing to fully recover from his injury. Rahul was added to the India squad for the remaining three Tests of the five-match series against the Three Lions but it came along with the caveat that his availability will be subject to his recovery. Rahul had complained of right quadriceps pain during the first Test match in Hyderabad and as a result, he was ruled out of the second Test which India won comprehensively in Visakhapatnam.

Devdutt Padikkal has been named KL Rahul’s replacement for Rajkot Test.

“KL Rahul, whose availability for the remaining three Tests was subject to fitness, has been ruled out of the third Test against England in Rajkot. Mr. Rahul has reached 90 per cent of match fitness and is progressing well under the supervision of the BCCI Medical Team,” said BCCI in a release on Monday.

“He will continue his recovery process at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru to be completely match-fit for the fourth and fifth Test. The Men’s Selection Committee named Devdutt Padikkal as KL Rahul’s replacement for the third Test,” the release added.

Imran Khan vs Nawaz Sharif Goes Into Super Over After Pak Poll Results

Imran Khan vs Nawaz Sharif Goes Into Super Over After Pak Poll Results



Imran Khan supporters have launched a nationwide protest alleging rigging in the polls.

New Delhi:
Pakistan, which is struggling to recover from an economic crisis, was dealt another blow when the elections threw up a hung verdict. The country now faces days of political horse-trading as parties try to cobble together leaders to prove majority.

Here are 10 updates about Pakistan election results:

  1. Imran Khan, who is in jail and barred from contesting elections, managed to grab the headlines as independent candidates who support his party Pakistan Tehreek-Insaf (PTI) won 102 seats.

  2. But the party still fell 31 seats short of the majority mark needed to form the government. The result of 8 seats is yet to be announced.

  3. Pakistan election commission has attributed the delay to internet issues, due to which polling stations are facing difficulties transmitting the results.

  4. Nawaz Sharif‘s Pakistan Muslim League (N), which was backed by the Army and the favourite to win the polls, could manage just 73 seats in the 266-seat assembly. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) won 54.

  5. Both Khan and three-time former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, declared victory yesterday increasing uncertainty over who will form the next government at a time when swift policy action is needed to address multiple challenges.

  6. The independents’ strong performance points to former prime minister Imran Khan‘s enduring popularity among the nation’s 241 million people, many of whom are struggling to make ends meet amid the fastest inflation in Asia.

  7. Several independents, backed by PTI, have alleged fraud in the election results and moved the high court. According to local media reports, several more candidates could approach the court over the next few days alleging that the votes were rigged.

  8. PTI is also expected to launch nationwide protests today as the final results of the elections have still not been released.  

  9. Gohar Khan, PTI chairman, called on “all institutions” in Pakistan to respect his party’s mandate. At a press conference, he said if complete results of the polls were not released by Saturday night, the party would hold peaceful protests today outside government offices returning election results around the country.

  10. In a bid to keep Imran Khan’s party away from the country’s top office, Nawaz Sharif and Bilawal Bhutto are holding talks to join hands. But even with the combined strength, they will fall short of the majority by 6 seats.

Gave Transgenders Identity, Padma Awards: PM Modi In Lok Sabha

Gave Transgenders Identity, Padma Awards: PM Modi In Lok Sabha


PM Modi listed out the achievements of the 17th Lok Sabha and his government.

New Delhi:

On the last day of the last session of the 17th Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi seized the opportunity to list out its achievements as well as those of his government. Asserting that a significant amount of work has been done towards helping those who are on the edges of society, the Prime Minister pointed out that the transgender community, which felt disrespected, has been given an identity. 

“Those who were always on the edges, whose wellbeing was not a concern to anybody, have now felt the presence of government. When free (vaccination) injections were given during Covid, belief was instilled in people… No one should feel helpless,” the Prime Minister said during his address, in Hindi, in the Lok Sabha on Saturday.

“The transgender community always felt disrespected… and people would avoid these issues. Members of the 17th Lok Sabha expressed concern for them and sought to ensure a better life for them. The world discusses what India has done for transgenders… We have given transgenders an identity. As many as 16,000-17,000 from the community have been given identity cards,” he added.

PM Modi pointed out that people from the transgender community have taken loans under the Mudra scheme and started businesses. “We have given Padma awards to transgenders. They have started receiving the benefits of various government schemes that they didn’t before. They are now living lives of respect,” he said. 

In 2019, Bharatnatyam dancer Narthaki Nataraj became the first transgender person to be awarded the Padma Shri, India’s fourth highest civilian honour. The Padma Shri was conferred on transgender folk dancer Manjamma Jogati – the first transgender president of the Karnataka Janapada Academy – in 2021.
