Virat Kohli once again showed his batting prowess when he slammed his eighth IPL century on Sunday during Royal Challengers Bangalore's last league stage match against Gujarat Titans. However, his ton went in vain as young batter Shubman Gill also struck his second consecutive IPL hundred and took GT across the line with six wickets in hand. With this loss, RCB bowed out of the tournament and paved way for the Mumbai Indians into the Playoffs. For Kohli, it was yet another heartbreak as he failed to take RCB to the coveted title.

Following RCB's exit, former England captain Kevin Pietersen hinted that Kohli should now leave RCB and play for the Delhi Capitals.

"Time for VIRAT to make the move to the capital city…! #IPL," tweeted Pietersen.

    Time for VIRAT to make the move to the capital city…! #IPL

Pietersen tweet took the internet by storm as the fans came up and expressed their opinion in the comments.

    Ain't happening ever. Kohli can never be the one who would leave RCB just for trophy.
    — Pari (@BluntIndianGal) May 22, 2023

    Don't think he will move out of RCB but if that happens, then Virat might want to be in CSK to continue his IPL journey under his forever Captain Dhoni.
    — Trilok Reddy (@3lok_cricketfan) May 22, 2023

    He should do it asap !
    — NK (@Enigmatic__24) May 22, 2023

    Virat is RCB and RCB is Virat. Loyalty can't be bought, KP.

Notably, Kohli is a Delhi-born cricketer and according to some reports, it was expected that he would be acquired by Delhi Daredevils (now Capitals) during the auctions of the inaugural IPL season in 2008. However, the right-handed batter was picked by RCB and has been a part of the Bengaluru-based franchise since then.

Coming to the match, after Kohli scored a 61-ball 101 in Royal Challengers Bangalore's 197 for five, it looked like the best effort on the day but Gill, who will be the torchbearer of Indian batting for the next 10 years, showed that he is better than the best.

What Kohli did well, Gill did better as his unbeaten 104 off 52 balls saw Titans chase down the target with ease. Like former India captain Kohli, this was Gill's second successive hundred.

Titans thus finished the league engagements with 20 points while CSK ended second with 17 points ahead of Lucknow Super Giants due to better net run-rate. Mumbai Indians, after their eight-wicket win against SRH, were back in the last four with 16 points.

With 34 needed off three overs, Gill's short-arm half-jab, half-pull off Mohammed Siraj was the killer blow, and then he hit him for another six to kill the contest as Kohli knocked his head in disbelief in the dugout.

Opposition Versus BJP On New Parliament Opening: 10 Points

 

Opposition parties have slammed the government over the inauguration of the new parliament building.

New Delhi: The opening of the new parliament by Prime Minister Narendra Modi -- due on May 28 -- has set off a huge political row. Opposition parties have contended that the President, as the "highest Constitutional authority", should be inaugurating it.

Here are the top 10 Points in this big story:

1. The date of inauguration has also irked the Congress. May 28 is the birth anniversary of VD Savarkar, one of the BJP's biggest icons, and the Congress said the selection of the date is a "complete insult" to the country's founding fathers.

2. "Congress has a habit of raking controversies where none exist. While President is the Head of State, PM is the Head of Govt & leads the Parliament on behalf of the Govt, whose Policies are effected in form of Laws. The President is not a Member of either House, whereas PM is," tweeted Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri.

3. BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia called the Congress "useless" and said, "Veer Savarkar is the pride of every Indian. Those who are questioning the date, tell them that they are inconsequential, not even worth the dust on Veer Savarkar's feet".

4. Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge has accused the government of "repeatedly disrespecting propriety" by not inviting the President and the former President to the inauguration.

5. "While Former President, Shri Kovind was not invited for the New Parliament foundation laying ceremony… The President of India Smt. Droupadi Murmu is not being invited for the inauguration of the new Parliament Building," Mallikarjun Kharge tweeted.

6. "She (the President) alone represents government, opposition, and every citizen alike. She is the First Citizen of India. Inauguration of the new Parliament building by her will symbolise Government's commitment to Democratic values and Constitutional propriety," read another of his tweets.

7. Other opposition parties have also slammed the government over the inauguration. "Obsession with self-image and cameras trumps decency and norms when it comes to Modi-ji," said CPI's D Raja.

8. "He (PM Modi) is head of the executive, not legislature. We have separation of powers and Hon'ble Lok Sabha Speaker and Rajya Sabha Chair could have inaugurated (it). It's made with public money, why is PM behaving like his 'friends' have sponsored it from their private funds," tweeted AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi.

9. The Opposition plans to calibrate their stance regarding the opening at a mega meeting they are planning.

10. The new Parliament building can comfortably seat 888 members in the Lok Sabha chamber and 300 in the Rajya Sabha chamber. In case of a joint sitting of both Houses, 1,280 members can be accommodated in the Lok Sabha chamber.

Silence Around Delegates, High Security, Cleared Roads: What the G20 Meeting in Srinagar Entailed

 

Srinagar: The much-anticipated G20 meeting started in Srinagar on a controversial note after five members of the powerful grouping, stayed away from the gathering.

While it was known that China, Saudi Arabia and Turkey would not be joining the working group meeting, The Print reported that Egypt and Oman too skipped the meet. Beijing has also voiced opposition against hosting the event in Jammu and Kashmir. While it was believed that Indonesia too might give the event a miss, the country sent representatives from its mission in New Delhi, according to The Print.

Union tourism minister G. Kishen Reddy and India’s G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant, among other officials, received the foreign visitors at the Srinagar airport on Monday (May 22) afternoon. As the visitors made their way out of the airport lounge, they were made to wear saffron-coloured turbans and greeted by traditional song and dance, and other cultural practices.

Defying past conventions, the J&K administration has kept the names of the visiting delegates and their designations under wraps. During the European Union delegation’s 2019 visit to Kashmir, the administration not only provided names and designations of foreign visitors to the media but also encouraged journalists to interact with them.

After the welcome ceremony at the airport was over, a cavalcade of nearly five dozen bulletproof, special utility vehicles ferrying the delegates, two ambulances and remarkably fewer escort vehicles zipped down the barren road from the airport in Budgam district to Sher-e-Kashmir International Convention Centre in Srinagar (SKICC).

At least two different photos circulating on social media show security personnel deployed along the road hiding behind the G20 hoardings as the cavalcade passes by, apparently to avoid becoming a distraction for the foreign visitors at a time when the Union government and J&K administration have pulled out all the stops to project normalcy in Kashmir.

The Wire could not immediately confirm the authenticity of these photos.

A multilayer security cover was thrown along the road to SKICC which put locals as well as commuters in Srinagar at great inconvenience while drones and sharpshooters mounted aerial vigil. Intelligence agencies have reportedly warned that militants might try to stage a major attack in Jammu and Kashmir to divert the attention away from the event and officials said that the security measures were necessary to prevent any disruption.

“All the link roads to the route used by delegates were blocked since Sunday night to prevent any untoward happening, but the restrictions were removed as soon as the cavalcade reached its destination,” official sources said.

In the meantime, as the foreign delegates, reportedly numbering 60, local officials and media persons took seats inside one of the auditoriums of the SKICC, which is flanked by the iconic Dal Lake, Union ministers G. Kishen Reddy and Jitendra Singh, and G-20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant, separately told the gathering that the event was going to “create job opportunities for the youth of Jammu and Kashmir”.

However, hundreds of poor vendors, who earn a livelihood by setting up makeshift shops and sell food and other items on pushcarts along the 16-km road from airport to SKICC, were missing on Monday. Some schools in Srinagar were also closed due to “security concerns” linked to the G20 event.

“It was a bad day, as if a curfew had been imposed,” said Manish Kumar, a vendor from J&K’s Udhampur district who sells panipuri on the Bund in Lal Chowk, Srinagar’s largest marketplace. “A few customers came my way only when restrictions were eased late in the afternoon.”

Malls, shops and other businesses in the city centre Lal Chowk and adjoining areas were open, even though many shopkeepers and salesmen complained that customer footfall was abysmally low due to heightened security measures. Although restrictions have been imposed around Dal Lake and SKICC, traffic was plying normally in other parts of the city on Monday.

Earlier, authorities had verbally asked the traders in Lal Chowk to open their establishments early in the morning and close later than the usual time in view of the first major international event being held in J&K after the erstwhile state’s special constitutional position was struck down on August 5, 2019.

A shopkeeper in Lal Chowk said that his business has taken a hit in the aftermath of the redevelopment of Srinagar under the Smart Cities Mission which has been going on for several years. “Every new announcement by the government has brought misery for the traders in Lal Chowk. One can only hope that our misery comes to an end,” he said, wishing to remain anonymous.

Momin Ahmad, a hotel management student from Pulwama district of south Kashmir, said that the redevelopment of Srinagar and the installation of lighting systems along the Jhelum bund, which was completed before the arrival of G20 delegates, has infused new life into Srinagar city.

“I used to be scared while walking along the bund. But it looks different now. There is no fear. The government has done a good job. Srinagar looks like Delhi now and youngsters here too can enjoy night life,” said Momin, who lives in a rented accomodation in Srinagar’s Raj Bagh locality.

After a day of deliberations in the third meeting of the G20 Tourism Working Group, which revolved around the promotion of Kashmir as a film tourism destination, the foreign delegates, who will be staying at two five-star hotels in Srinagar till May 24, were given shikara rides on Dal Lake under the watchful eyes of navy commandos and members of the Special Operations Group, J&K Police’s elite anti-terror unit, on Monday evening.

Last week, former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti said that J&K was being “presented as a trophy” at the G20 meeting in order to give an impression to the foreign delegates that “all is well”. The Hurriyat Conference has also opposed the event.
