In the 2015 assemblypolls, JD-U, RJD, and Con-gress had fought the elec-tions together under the Ma-hagathbandhan banner. Onthe other hand, the BJP-ledNDA had fought the elec-

tions with Lok JanshaktiParty (LJP) and other allies.

SC calls Hathras case shockingAsks UP govt about securityof family members, witnesses

AGENCYNEW DELHI, OCT 6

The Supreme Court on Tuesdayasked the Uttar Pradesh govern-ment how the family membersand the witnesses in the allegedgang-rape and murder case of a19-year-old Dalit girl fromHathras are being protected.

A bench of the apex court,headed by Chief Justice of IndiaSA Bobde, also asked SolicitorGeneral Tushar Mehta appearingfor Uttar Pradesh government toascertain whether the victim'sfamily has chosen any lawyer.

Solicitor General TusharMehta said that protection has al-ready been provided to the fami-ly members of the victim. "Weare not taking any adversarialview on the plea. Witnesses arealready under protection. Variousnarratives going about outsidethough everyone here in bonafide capacity," Mehta submitted.

Mehta said that the supervi-sion of this court is important forruling the narratives out. "Forlawyer for the victim's family,let's not impose the lawyer onthem," he said. Following that,CJI Bobde asked Mehta whetherthe Witness Protection Act is inforce.

"We want an affidavit on how

the witnesses are being protectedand we want you to ascertainwhether the victim's family haschosen any lawyer. We want asuggestion what's the scope of Al-lahabad High Court proceedingsand how can we widen that," thebench said adjourning the hearingin the matter for next week.

The apex court was hearing apublic interest litigation (PIL)filed by social activist SatyamaDubey seeking a probe by theCentral Bureau of Investigation(CBI) or Special InvestigationTeam (SIT), monitored by a sit-ting or retired Supreme Court orHigh Court Judge.

Mehta said that he is not op-posing the plea for a CBI probe inthe matter. "The investigation

should be impartial. We have rec-ommended CBI enquiry also. Werequest to the probe should be su-pervised by this court. There arevarious narratives in the media,"he added.

Senior advocate Indira Jais-ing, an intervener in the matter,said "we don't want to interfere

with the Allahabad High Court asit's already seized of the matter inthe issue relating to the cremationof the body of the victim." "Thiscase should be transferred to aDelhi court from Uttar Pradeshand at this moment the protectionof the family is utmost impor-tant," Jaising said.

Apex court urged to direct CBI probeNEW DELHI: The Uttar Pradesh government in the Supreme Court onTuesday sought a CBI probe into the alleged gang-rape and death of aDalit woman in Hathras, saying it will ensure that no vested interest is ableto create a fake and false narrative with "oblique motives".In an affidavit filed in response to a PIL, which has been listed for hearingbefore a bench headed by Chief Justice S A Bobde, the UP governmentsaid it is important that the investigation is carried out by an independentcentral agency.It said the state has already requested the Centre that the CBI take overthe investigation as it would obviate hindrance being created by certainvested interests in the fair and impartial investigation.The CBI probe will also ensure that no vested interests will be able to cre-ate a fake and false narrative with oblique motives, it said.The Dalit teen died of grievous injuries in a Delhi hospital on September29, a fortnight after she was allegedly raped at her village by four uppercaste men.Besides the alleged gang-rape case, the state government has alsosought CBI probe into the FIR related to the alleged criminal conspiracy tospread caste conflict, instigating violence, incidents of vicious propagandaby sections of media and political interests. The state government humblyseeks the indulgence of this court to direct the CBI to investigate into theincident dated September 14, 2020 in the respect of the victim in FIR num-ber...as well as FIR number...related to criminal conspiracy to spreadcaste conflict, instigating violence, incidents of vicious propaganda by sec-tions of media and political interests, it said.

The Municipal Corporation is in action mode these days for action like sealingagainst shopkeepers who have not deposited business tax rent in the MC on reason-able rent for years. Due to this, on Tuesday, a team of corporation employees tookaction to seal 5 such shops in the city. Due to the impact, a shopkeeper went to thecorporation office without delay and deposited the rent amount of Rs 1 lakh 14 thou-sand, but 4 other shopkeepers did not show such readiness. As a result 4 shops weresealed. In this regard, Deputy Commissioner and District Municipal CommissionerNishant Kumar Yadav said that the corporation has more than 600 shops in the city,which are on very reasonable rent. Despite this, if a shopkeeper did not deposit therent in the Municipal Corporation on time, then action against him becomes immi-nent. On the other hand, the sources of municipal income are dependent on such rentand property tax. There are clear instructions from the government that the corpora-tion or body offices should meet all the expenses from their own sources. Talkingabout shops for rent, the payment of about Rs 60 lakh has been pending towards theshopkeepers, out of which only Rs 12 lakh have been deposited in the corporation'streasury.

It is even morecondemnable that he slunkaway rather than face thefarmer families who are vic-tims of his government’spolicies in Punjab”.Parambans Romana said theinsensitivity of Rahul Gand-

hi as well as the Congressgovernment led by CaptAmarinder Singh forcedsuicide victim families to siton the road for more thantwo and a half hours.

He said as far as theYAD was concerned, itsonly motive was to facilitatethe meeting of the victimfamilies with Rahul Gandhiso that the promises made tothem including a govern-ment job, Rs ten lakh com-pensation and complete loanwaiver could be fulfilled.“We were assured by SPVarun Sharma and TehsildarPawandeep Singh thatRahul Gandhi would meetfive representatives fromthe families of the suicidevictims but in the end Rahulchose to slink away toHaryana”.

On he and Priyanka GandhiVadra being pushed around andmanhandled on way to Hathras,and FIRs being registered againstlarge number of Congress workersby the UP police, Rahul said whathe and his party men and womensuffered was minor compared withwhat the victim’s family was go-ing through. They are the oneswho have really been pushedaround, he said, adding that if was“no big deal” for him to be pushed

around by the cops in UP. His andhis party’s job was to protect thepeople of India, which is why hewent to Hathras and had come toPunjab to stand with its farmers,said Rahul, adding that “in ourfight against injustice we will takethe lathis and pushes.” “Imagineyour son or daughter being killed

like this and your family being tar-geted for protesting and demand-ing justice, that is how I felt,” hesaid, adding that he went there notjust for the Hathras victim and herfamily but for the sake of lakhs ofIndian women who suffer, andthousands of women who areraped in the country every day.

Asked why he was not present inParliament during voting on theFarm Bills, Rahul said he was ason too, and had a son’s duty forhis mother. His mother had to gofor medical check-up and since hissister could not go for some fami-ly reasons, it was his responsibili-ty to do so, he added.

Hukam Singh set an example by notsetting fire to straw for a decade

MK SHARMASULTANPUR LODHI, OCT 6

Farmer Hukam Singh of village Norowal iscultivating paddy, wheat and potato in his35 acres of land. For the last one decade,instead of burning straw or maize stalks,they have been mixed in the fields, whichhas not only improved the health of the soilbut also increased the yield. Hukam Singh,who is in constant touch with the experts ofthe agriculture department, said Proximityto nature and a desire to innovate idea forthe mixture of corn stalks with soilmotivated him 10 years ago to userotavator. Due to high yield of 4 quintals ofpaddy in the first year itself, it was decidedto mix paddy straw in the fields. He saidthat unlike the rest of the members of thehousehold, the straw was disposed of withthe help of traditional implements likeplow, rotavator etc. This farmer, who isfond of experimenting in agriculture, hasset up a motor lab in his field where hedoes natural farming in three canals. Healso makes insecticides made from JivAmrit, neem and acacia, and fungicidesmade from sour lassi. This time he alsosowed paddy directly in 16 acres. He saidthat the incorporation of crop residues inthe fields has improved the health of the

soil which has resulted in increase in thenumber of weeds and reduction in theconsumption of fertilizers. This year he got70 quintals of maize per acre with only 2.5bags of urea. Hukam Singh said that thework of mixing straw in the fields is notdone by legal force but voluntarily by hisown will. He said that the farmers werewell aware of the dangers of burning strawbut sometimes they prefer to set fire in thecycle of reducing the cost of farming. TheAgriculture Development Officer Dr.Jaspal Singh appreciated the work beingdone by Hukam Singh for the improvementof agriculture and environment in Nurowaland appealed to the rest of the farmers toadopt this technique as well.

CHANAKYA

EVEN IF A SNAKE IS NOT POISONOUS, IT SHOULDPRETEND TO BE VENOMOUS.

CHANAKYA

The rape-murder of a Dalit girl in Hathras in UttarPradesh, the messy investigation the police hasbeen conducting and the premature conclusions it

has arrived at, and the abominable response of the gov-ernment and a section of society to the entire episodepoint to the fact that crime, especially, sexual assault, re-mains a tool in the hands of the powerful without facinga challenge, 73 years after Independence. Crimes dohappen in all societies but how the system responds to itmakes the difference. In this instance, all that followedthe filing of the first information report look bogus. Asenior police official going public saying there was norape because there was no sperm found on the victim’sbody violates the sections in the Indian Penal Codewhich defines what makes an act rape. The burning ofthe body in the dead of the night by policemen disre-garding the wishes of the family and against its will hasvery little parallel in the country’s history. The districtmagistrate going to the village and suggesting to the rel-atives against pressing for an investigation is nothingless than criminal conduct to obstruct the path of justice.Reports that the special investigation team is planning toconduct narco-analysis tests on the family of the victimsound eerie and border on the absurd. The stopping ofnational leaders on their way to the village and the de-nial of access to the media betray the diabolic plan to un-dermine efforts to expose the shortcomings of the ad-ministration. The public demonstration demanding jus-tice to the accused is, however, not new. The nation hadwitnessed it happening when an eight-year-old girl wasgangraped, maimed and killed in Kathwa in Jammu andKashmir two years ago. The latest, that the police hasfiled an FIR saying there is a conspiracy to defame thegovernment and instigate riots under the garb of protests,follows the same pattern the government followed in theBhima- Koregaon and Delhi riots case. It will not belong before all those who have participated and support-ed the protests demanding justice in the case could bebooked under charges that include sedition. An electedrepresentative blaming the victim creams it all.

Caste has evolved over centuries and so are the toolsof caste oppression. They work on several planes and inlayers, and crime is one among them. Their unmaking isnot an easy or speedy task but a nation must have it in itsthought process if it wants to be called a civilised one.There are laws that view violence on Scheduled Castesand Tribes with serious eyes but they lose their purposein the hands of officials like the district magistrate ofHathras, who, despite being responsible for its imple-mentation, worked to ensure its defeat.

ferred between the volume of services andthe quality of treatment results: In hospitalswith larger case volumes, the survival prob-abilities for patients are higher overall,fewer fatal complications occur and hos-pital stays are mostly shorter. For certainsurgical procedures, can a correlation beshown between the volume of servicesprovided per hospital and the quality oftreatment results? This is the question ad-dressed in eight commissions that theFederal Joint Committee (G-BA) award-ed to the Institute for Quality and Effi-ciency in Health Care (IQWiG) in Ger-many. An IQWiG rapid report is now avail-able for the seventh intervention to be test-ed, complex pancreatic surgery.

High-risk procedures usually per-formed as elective surgery

The pancreas produces both digestivesecretions and hormones such as insulin,glucagon or somatostatin, which have aregulating effect on carbohydrate metabo-lism and digestion. Surgical procedures ofthe pancreas are considered complex andthus high risk and are usually performed aselective, i.e. planned, surgery. These proce-dures are largely performed due to compli-cations caused by chronic inflammation ordue to malignant neoplasms. Between2009 and 2014, about 35,000 complex sur-gical procedures of the pancreas were per-formed overall in Germany due to malig-nant neoplasms. The hospital mortalityrates for patients who underwent complexpancreatic surgery in Germany between2009 and 2013 were around 10 per cent.

The G-BA has set a minimum volume forcomplex pancreatic surgery in Germany,which currently stands at ten proceduresper year and hospital location. Positive cor-relation between the volume of servicesand survival probability The IQWiG proj-

ect team identified 42 retrospective obser-vational studies investigating the correla-tion between the volume of services and thequality of treatment results in complex pan-creatic surgery. Of these studies, 36 con-tained usable data. The data analysisshowed that the overall survival probabili-ties for patients who undergo pancreaticsurgery are higher when they are treated inhospitals with larger case volumes and bysurgeons with more routine in this type ofsurgery. For the outcomes "treatment-relat-ed complications" and "length of hospitalstay", a correlation between the volume ofservices and the quality of treatment resultscan also be shown at both the hospital andsurgeon level, to the benefit of hospitalsand surgeons with a high volume of servic-es. For the outcomes "fatal complications"and "tumour-free resection margin", a pos-itive correlation between the volume ofservices and the quality of treatment resultscan be inferred at the hospital level.

The COVID-19 pandem-ic is taking a heavymental health toll even

on people who are not direct-ly impacted by the disease,shows a new study. The studywas published in the journalFrontiers in Psychiatry. In afirst-of-its-kind Australianmental health survey, re-searchers found that people incountries with low rates of in-fection and fatalities--likeAustralia at the onset of thepandemic--still experiencetwice as much depression andanxiety. These outcomes arelargely related to financialstress and disruptions to peo-ple's social lives.

"We already know frompast pandemic research thatthe people who are most af-fected, such as those who be-come ill and/or are hospi-talised and their carers, expe-rience more severe impacts.However, the impacts ofCOVID-19 on the broaderpopulation in relatively lessaffected countries are alsolikely to be substantial," sayslead author Dr Amy Dawel ofthe Australian National Uni-versity in Canberra, Aus-tralia.

"Our data show that theby-products of COVID-19are affecting populationsbroadly--notwithstandinghow great the physical illnessimpact is--and the concern isthat countries with strong re-strictions, who appear to cir-cumvent the worst ofCOVID-19, may overlookthe indirect impacts of thepandemic."

To capture a snapshot ofthe population's mental healthjust after the first COVID-19restrictions went into effect,Dr Dawel and her collabora-tors surveyed nearly 1300Australian adults in March2020. At this time, authoritieshad recently closed interna-tional borders, bars andrestaurants, and limited socialgatherings. The participantsincluded a representative dis-tribution of the population,with equal numbers of men

and women and participantsacross all age groups over theage of 18 from every Aus-tralian state and territory.

In order to prevent anypotential bias, the survey wasdesigned so that participantswould not know the aims ofthe study. Instead, the re-searchers incorporated thesurvey into market researchpanels, without any mentionof COVID-19 or mentalhealth during study recruit-ment.

Since the survey occurredin the early stages of the pan-demic, only 36 participantsreported having received aCOVID-19 diagnosis or hav-ing had a close contact whohad been diagnosed. Therewere also relatively few peo-ple who had been tested, hadself-isolated or who hadknown anyone who had anyof these experiences.

Surprisingly, these casesof COVID-19 contactshowed no link to mental

health impacts. In contrast, fi-nancial distress and disrup-tions to work and social ac-tivities were significantly as-sociated with symptoms ofdepression and anxiety, aswell as lower psychologicalwellbeing. However, workingfrom home wasn't associatedwith any negative effects.

Higher rates of mentalhealth symptoms were alsofound among people whowere younger, identifiedthemselves as female or who

reported having a pre-exist-ing mental health condition.

"We hope that these datahighlight that the way coun-tries manage COVID-19 islikely to impact their popula-tion's mental health, beyondthose most directly affectedby the disease," says Dawel."It's important that govern-ments and policymakersrecognise that minimising so-cial and financial disruptionshould also be a central goalof public health policy."

MOHAN SHARMA

Our society and ad-ministration oftenhas hatred for drug

addicts and they havemade an assumption thatthe drug addicts can bemade normal either bygetting them caught in jailor by beating them brutal-ly to such an extent thatthey start to hate drugs,and eventually decide notto touch them anymore. Inother words, a drug addictis often considered as anevil person. Wherever hegoes, he just experiencescurses and abuses fromthe society. But if we

think carefully about it, isit true that a drug addictcan be brought back tonormal by beating him up,imprisoning him behindthe bars or mis-behaving withhim? After go-ing through this,does he reallytry to become agood husband,son, a caring fa-ther or a responsible citi-zen? Research shows thatthis kind of treatment onlyworsens the situation andthe drug addict thinks,"They have beaten me upand I've even been in theprison. What worse can

they do to me now?" Thiskind of attitude makeshim stubborn, andthrough the 'connections'that he made during his

imprisonement withhis fellow prison-mates, he enters theworld of crime; andthen he not only in-creases his dosage ofdrugs but evenworse, collaborates

with the other illegal druggroups and proudly callshimself a smuggler. In re-ality a drug addict is not adevil, but rather a victimof life. If we view him asa victim and try to helphim by trying to find the

reasons which pushedhim in the dark world ofdrugs; and along withmedical treatment try toconnect him to spiritual,artistic and contributingaspect of humanity, thenhe'll not only become freeof drugs but also becomea responsible citizen. Theenergy which youth pos-sesses is like the flood wa-ter.

If it's not given a properdirection, it'll end up de-stroying everything itcomes across. But ifplanned and given direc-tion properly, the samewater can prove to be thebiggest asset to society.

Spinach, the hearty,green vegetable chockfull of nutrients, doesn't

just provide energy in hu-mans but it also has potentialto help power fuel cells, ac-cording to a new paper by re-searchers in AU's Depart-ment of Chemistry.

Spinach, when convertedfrom its leafy, edible forminto carbon nanosheets, actsas a catalyst for an oxygenreduction reaction in fuelcells and metal-air batteries.

An oxygen reduction re-action is one of two reactionsin fuel cells and metal-airbatteries and is usually theslower one that limits the en-ergy output of these devices.Researchers have longknown that certain carbonmaterials can catalyze the re-action. But those carbon-based catalysts don't alwaysperform as good or betterthan the traditional platinum-based catalysts. The AU re-searchers wanted to find aninexpensive and less toxicpreparation method for an ef-ficient catalyst by using read-ily available natural re-sources. They tackled thischallenge by using spinach.

"This work suggests thatsustainable catalysts can bemade for an oxygen reduc-

tion reaction from natural re-sources. The method we test-ed can produce highly active,carbon-based catalysts fromspinach, which is a renew-able biomass," said Prof.Shouzhong Zou, chemistryprofessor at AU and the pa-per's lead author.

"In fact, we believe itoutperforms commercialplatinum catalysts in both ac-tivity and stability. The cata-lysts are potentially applica-ble in hydrogen fuel cells andmetal-air batteries," addedZou. Zou's former post-doc-toral students Xiaojun Liuand Wenyue Li and under-graduate student Casey Cul-hane are the paper's co-au-thors. Catalysts accelerate an

oxygen reduction reaction toproduce sufficient currentand create energy. Amongthe practical applications forthe research are fuel cells andmetal-air batteries, whichpower electric vehicles andtypes of military gear.

Researchers are makingprogress in the lab and inprototypes with catalysts de-rived from plants or plantproducts such as cattail grassor rice. Zou's work is the firstdemonstration using spinachas a material for preparingoxygen reduction reaction-catalysts. Spinach is a goodcandidate for this work be-cause it survives in low tem-peratures, is abundant andeasy to grow.

Spinach- good for peopleas well as the planet!

BenedictionBless this little heart, thiswhite soul that has wonthe kiss ofheaven for our earth.He loves the light of thesun, he loves the sight ofhismother's face.He has not learned to despise the dust,and to hanker aftergold.Clasp him to your heart and bless him.He has come into this land of an hundredcross-roads.I know not how he chose you from thecrowd, came to your door,and grasped you hand to ask his way.He will follow you, laughing the talking,and not a doubt inhis heart.Keep his trust, lead him straight and blesshim.Lay your hand on his head, and pray thatthough the wavesunderneath grow threatening, yet thebreath from above may come andfill his sails and waft him to the heaven ofpeace.

handigarh: Chandigarh women congress president Deepa Dubey has hit out at both the centre's and Chandigarh Administration's recruitment policy. She directed her ire Cat the 29th September advertisement placed by the forest department which called for

applications from candidates. She called the whole process an 'irresponsible effort' and a 'bad joke' against the youth.Deepa said that Chandigarh's forest department had in 2012 also asked

for applications and there was a hefty fee collected with the applications. The money collected ran into lakhs and after 8 years there is no update available on what happened to those applications and amount collected. "Doesn't this mean that the youth are being taken for a ride. After 2012 again they have advertised for the same posts in 2020 and the fee this time is also on the higher side. What is the meaning of this? What happened to the earlier recruitment where posts are still vacant. There was no need to advertise before filling up earlier vacancies. The centre and Chandigarh Administration need to answer on this issue. "Deepa added. I would also like to talk about ex servicemen recruitment; the men

who put their lives on the line while defending the nation have been insulted and ex servicemen have been removed from the roster and they are being deprived of their quota. PM Narendra Modi had announced a reservation in jobs for economically weaker sections to tune of 10 per cent which is also not being followed and the recruitment process has not catered to this category. Deepa further said,'' From the process being followed by Chandigarh Administration and forest department it can easily be gauged that PM's promises have been brushed aside, and that the government's ex servicemen and EWS quotas have been totally ignored. This is clearly a fraud which is being unleashed on unsuspecting people.

Good immunity can go a long way in preventing the onset of heart diseases

oida: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in India. People with pre-existing risk factors and Nlow immunity are at greater risk – especially when it comes to developing

complications when infected with viral infections like the recent COVID-19. There is a need to raise awareness on the importance of building immunity through eating healthy, regular physical activity, and following medication schedule. CVDs comprises of conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels. People with a family history of the condition, comorbidities such as blood pressure and diabetes, or an unhealthy lifestyle are at greater risk. Speaking about this, Dr. Amitabh Yaduvanshi, Head of Cardiac Cathlab, Holy Family Hospital, New Delhi said, “Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are often difficult to diagnose given the fact that their signs and symptoms are often mistaken for other conditions. A common example is a heartburn which mimics indigestion or acidity. Common signs one must watch out includes pain or pressure in the chest, which may indicate angina; pain or discomfort in the arms, left shoulder, elbows, jaw, or back; shortness of breath; nausea and fatigue; light-headedness or dizziness; and cold sweats. If any of the mentioned sign prolongs, consult a specialist and take appropriate measures to manage them.” Adding further, Dr. Amitabh Yaduvanshi said, “Good immunity is the cornerstone to warding off any disease, including heart conditions. Focus on eating healthy food, get light to moderate physical activity as advised by the specialist, and improve your immunity.

Australian women's pacer MeganSchutt has deemed her performancein the ongoing ODI series againstNew Zealand as "average".She has also admitted that theswitch from the shortest format to50-over cricket has been a chal-lenge for her.

"A bit average, to be honest. Ihaven't been overly pleased withhow I've bowled. Think I've hadsome good overs in there but havehad some poor ones as well. For methe ODIs over the last couple ofdays - I've felt like I've struggled abit with my length; need to get a bitfuller," ESPNCricinfo quotedSchutt as saying.

"That's the transition from play-ing so much T20 cricket for a longperiod and then we are convertingback with the WBBL. I've been alittle bit disappointed but, hopeful-ly, will find some consistency," sheadded.

In the ongoing ODI seriesagainst New Zealand, Schutt hasbeen able to take three wickets intwo ODIs.

Schutt also said that she has notbeen able to find the swing that sheexpected in the morning of thematch. "In the first couple of gamesmy eyes lit up a bit being the morn-ing at AB (Allan Border) Field;there's normally a bit more juice in

the pitch, and I haven't quite had theswing I thought I'd have - not sure ifit's me, the ball, the pitch or all theabove so had to switch up after acouple of overs," Schutt said.

"Quite often when I get aheadof myself I chuck up too wide hop-ing it will swing and give them anice half volley. I have Been quiteaware of not doing that, so havebeen trying to adjust my lines tostraighten up," she added. MegLanning and Rachael Haynes hadplayed knocks of 101 and 82 re-spectively as Australia defeatedNew Zealand by four wickets in thesecond ODI of the three-match se-ries on Monday. With this win, Aus-tralia gained an unassailable 2-0lead in the three-match ODI series.Both sides will now lock horns inthe third and final ODI on Wednes-day, October 7.

Karthik faces stiffest test asKKR take on resurgent CSK

AGENCYABU DHABI, OCT 6

Under-fire Kolkata Knight Rid-ers captain Dinesh Karthik willhave to figure out urgent fixesfor his star-studded team's fal-tering performances when ittakes on a resurgent ChennaiSuper Kings in the IPL here onWednesday.

KKR acquired England'sWorld Cup-winning skipperEoin Morgan but the manage-ment reposed confidence inKarthik and asked him to leadthe side.

However, a few of his baf-fling decisions apart from hisown poor run with the bat -- 37runs from four matches -- hasput the Indian wicketkeeper-batsman in the line of fire.

Promoting himself ahead of

the star duo of Morgan and An-dre Russell and preferringSunil Narine in the opening slotover Big Bash sensation TomBanton -- who has been com-pared with Kevin Pietersen --has put 35-year-old Karthik inthe dock.

Narine has looked woefullyout of sorts, managing only 27runs from four matches at87.09 strike rate and it's hightime that the team brings in thebig-hitting English youngster.

KKR have plenty of re-sources in bowling but Karthik,

it seems, has not been able tomanage them well and theirmatch against Delhi Capitalscould be a case in point.

Pat Cummins' not-so-im-pressive performance hasadded to the team's woes.

The pitch in Sharjah is a bats-men's paradise and both teamscantered past the 200-mark butit's the bowlers who made the dif-ference in a close chase. The pairof Morgan and Rahul Tripathilooked to seal it but Delhi'sbowlers strangulated KKR's bat-

ting at the death. Karthik willneed to back his bowlers, espe-cially Indian lead spinnerKuldeep Yadav who seems tohave been under-utilised andbowled just nine overs after beingdropped from the Delhi game.Chennai, on the other hand, re-discovered some of the form thatmade them three-time champi-ons. After three losses on the trot,the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-ledside would look to make its as-cent to top-four from being at thebottom. Not known to tweak his

side much, Dhoni persisted withShane Watson and the Aussie vet-eran finally came to form with anunbeaten 83.

Chasing 179 against KingsXI Punjab, Watson and Faf duPlessis made light work of theirbowlers in a record 181-run un-beaten stand to seal the chase.The coming to form of a mis-fir-ing top order is what CSK need-ed to come out of a miserablestart and having done that, theywould certainly look favouritesagainst a struggling KKR.

De Villiers blames lossagainst DC to poorexecution of skills

AGENCYDUBAI, OCT 6

Just like his skipper Virat Kohli,Royal Challengers Bangalore'sstar batsman AB de Villiers toofeels poor execution of skills letthe team down against DelhiCapitals, resulting in a 59-rundrubbing in their last IPL matchhere.

De Villiers was of the viewthat RCB came second best toDC in all departments of thegame on Monday night.

Opting to bowl, RCBbowlers had an ordinary outingand were also not helped by but-terfingered fielders, allowing DCto score an imposing 196 for 4.Later while clashing, RCB bats-men failed to rise to the occasionand were restricted to 137 for 9.

"196 was definitely over par.You got to give credit to them(DC), they started very well inthe first 6 but we did well to pullit back. I felt we were very slowto adapt with, our defensivebowling. It was one of thosewickets where we needed toutilise the conditions and wegave away 20 over par," de Vil-

liers said.All-rounder Marcus Stoinis

was dropped on 30 by YuzvendraChahal, after which he went on toscore a 26-ball 53 for DC.

"It's a combination of a fewthings. First of all they batted re-ally well, so credit to them. Wehad an opportunity to put pres-sure on them but unfortunatelywe just didn't execute very well.Its one of those days we didn't getour skills absolutely right," theSouth African star said.

"We dropped a catch in thefield, little bit of slackness in thefield as well, couple of fumbleswhich cost us ultimately 20-30runs. But then again we didn't batwell at all. Just a bad day at theoffice I would say."

De Villiers also backedKohli's decision to bat first, say-ing they expected dew to play arole in the second half of thematch but it didn't.

"The last game Chennai wonchasing. It wasn't as dewy tonightbut we were expecting the ball toget wet in the second inningswhich would have made thingslittle difficult for the Delhibowlers.

@KagisoRabada25'sstart this season isgreat reward for his

work, one of the best T20bowlers in the world.Holding RCB to 137 giventheir power was pleasing,building off the work of ourbatsmen who set things up.
