Sports News Highlights: Elaborate security arrangements for India-Bangladesh 2nd Test in Kanpur
Sports News Live Updates: Elaborate security arrangements have been made for the India-Bangladesh second Test match to be played at the International Green Park stadium in Kanpur scheduled from September 27, a senior official said. Australian captain Pat Cummins highlighted the need to contain Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He described Pant as a major game-changer for India. The five-match Test series begins on November 22 in Perth. Pant has been a crucial player for India, especially noted for his aggressive batting, which has been effective against Australia. Pant made a notable comeback in a Test against Bangladesh, scoring 109 runs in the second innings, helping India to a 280-run victory.
Former India cricketer Dinesh Karthik has praised young batter Shubman Gill, highlighting his potential for greatness. Karthik mentioned that he would like to see Gill excel in challenging conditions to fully gauge his capabilities. Speaking on Cricbuzz, Karthik admired Gill's six-hitting ability, noting his unique technique compared to power hitters like Kieron Pollard and Andre Russell.

India vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test: Elaborate security arrangements in Kanpur
An FIR was filed against 20 members of the Akhilesh Bhartiya Hindu Mahasabha on Monday for allegedly organising a 'havan' by obstructing the road before the stadium to protest against atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh, said ACP Harish Chander.
Police said a "fool-proof" security plan has been chalked out for India and Bangladesh cricket teams which are supposed to arrive in Kanpur by Tuesday evening.
Kanpur's Additional Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Harish Chander told PTI they have sought adequate police force, including senior rank officials, to be deployed for the match.
The officer said they were coordinating with the central and state agencies, including the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and the state Intelligence to share inputs regarding threats, if any, to deal with it deftly.
The Green Park stadium and Hotel Landmark have been divided into sectors, zones and sub-zones, and its reign has been given to DCP, additional DCP and ACP rank officials, respectively, said DCP (East) Shrawan Kumar Singh, who has been made the nodal officer of the entire event.
Traffic diversions have also been imposed ahead of the match.
Those named in the FIR included Rakesh Mishra, Vikas, Atul, Jaydeep, Vikas Gupta, Prashant Dheer, Ajay Rathore, Ashish, Brajesh and about 10 others unidentified.
The FIR has been lodged under BNS sections of 189(2) (unlawful assembly), 191 (2) (rioting), 223 (disobeying an order promulgated by a public servant), and 285 (obstruction or injury to any person in any public way), he said.

Amarnath's famous 'Selectors are a bunch of jokers' statement and his tirade against former BCCI president Raj Singh Dungarpur, after he was dropped for the home Test series against New Zealand in 1988, is the stuff of legend. It was also a reflection of the man's principled nature.
The tension between Amarnath and Dungarpur, a prominent Indian cricket administrator and selector, was a significant episode in Indian cricket during the late 1980s.

Flamboyant keeper-batsman Rishabh Pant marked his much-awaited return to the Test arena with a swashbuckling hundred against Bangladesh in the Chennai Test.
After a stroke-filled 39 in the first innings, the dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman smashed 109 in the team's second essay and also featured in a 167-run partnership with Shubman Gill, setting the ground for India's eventual 280-run victory.
Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif believes that the flamboyant keeper-batsman is the biggest match-winner for India in Test matches and his best is yet to come.

Faced with an 'impossible' imaginary scenario in the Indian Premier League, two former international cricketers were asked: If MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma played for the same team, who would you play, sell, and bench?
This tricky situation was recently tackled by former England captain Michael Vaughan and Australian wicketkeeper-batter Adam Gilchrist on a podcast.
But Michael Vaughan didn't hesitate in his choice.

They are 17 going on 18, and the sound of music in the India camp is getting sweeter by the day.
Barring Virat Kohli, R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, none of the Indian players in the current set-up know what it is to lose a Test series at home.
India have won 17 consecutive series since the loss to England in 2012, a phenomenal record. Even the opposition teams know they are virtually fighting a losing battle.

Former Indian cricket captain Kapil Dev, famous for leading India to its first World Cup victory in 1983, believes a cricketer's prime years are between ages 26 and 34. Fitness then determines how long they can stay at the top.
This insight is particularly relevant for celebrated players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Both have exceeded this age range. Kohli, turning 36 in November, and Rohit, who turned 37 in April, have retired from T20Is after their successful T20 World Cup campaign but remain active in other formats.
Kapil shared his views on MyKhel, saying, "In my opinion, the period between 26 and 34 years is your prime and thereafter the fitness of the players will ensure their longevity."
