Nasser Hussain picks Virat Kohli 'moment' that has stuck with him most
Leeds [UK], June 20 (ANI): Former captain Nasser Hussain handpicked Virat Kohli's speech that he gave to his players in a hurdle during the final day at Lord's as the moment between India and England Test rivalry that has stuck with him. The moment that Hussain is referring to is India's tour of England in 2021. It was the final day of the second Test at the 'Home of Cricket', Lord's, and England was in pursuit of a 272-run target with 60 overs left. During the hurdle, Virat delivered a passionate speech, and his famous words still live rent-free in the hearts of cricket fans: 'For 60 overs, they should feel hell.' India pacers Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, and Ishant Sharma breathed fire and left England batters bamboozled to wrap up the game in the final hour of the Test with a 151-run triumph. 'I was asked about my favourite India-England moment, historically. There have been so many. It may have not been my favourite, but it is the one that stuck with me the most. In the hurdle that last morning at Lord's when England were trying to chase the score, he was in the hurdle pointing at every Indian player telling them to unleash hell on that England batting lineup for 60 overs,' Hussain said on Sky Sports. 'That is what his side did. That side became the mirror image of Virat's character. Test match cricket is so much better when Kohli was playing. We will move on. We moved from Gavaskar to Tendulkar to Kohli and maybe to Gill. But Kohli added so much to this game,' he added. Virat penned a heartfelt note on social media and pulled the curtain down on his 14-year-long Test career last month. As a result, he missed India's ongoing tour of England. After his decision, he returned to on-field action for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). He steered Bengaluru to their maiden IPL title, and after the famous triumph, he emphasised the importance of the Test format and said, 'So I would just urge the youngsters coming through to treat that format with respect. Because if you perform in Test cricket, you walk around anywhere in the world, people look you in the eye and shake your hand and say, well done, you played the game really well. So if you want to earn respect in World cricket all over, take up Test cricket, give your heart and soul to it.' Nasser reflected on Virat's statement and said, 'I mean, it was great to see what he said when he won the IPL about Test cricket. What he told the next generation that is the way you make your name in Test match cricket.' (ANI)

Activist accuses Karnataka CM, DCM of being responsible for Bengaluru stampede, files complaint. Details: Report
The Bengaluru stampede controversy has taken a new turn, with advocate-activist TJ Abraham lodging a formal complaint against Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar at Bengaluru's Cubbon Park Police station, holding them responsible for the tragedy, The Indian Express reported. The tragic stampede at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on June 4, which left 11 dead and over 60 injured, occurred at the front of the premises, where a large number of people thronged to participate in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) team's IPL victory celebrations. Abraham's complaint named as many as 14 individuals, including Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh, DPAR Secretary Sathyavathi G, KSCA CEO Shubendu Ghosh, RCB Senior Director Menon Vijayan Rajesh, and DNA Entertainment Networks MD Thimmaiah Venkata Varadhana. High-ranking police officers, Home Minister G Parameshwara, and Additional Chief Secretary Tushar Girinath were also listed, the report stated. According to Abraham, Shivakumar allegedly used the event for personal gain and political optics, suggesting he was in talks to acquire a stake in the RCB franchise. He claimed the Deputy CM planned two last-minute public events to draw media attention, disregarding safety concerns. Abraham also alleged that the police had prepared for a victory parade, but Shivakumar's last-minute changes disrupted plans. He accused Chief Secretary Rajneesh of misusing public funds to support the event, arguing that these actions prioritized publicity over public safety, according to the report. He blamed a senior police officer, Shekar H Tekkannavar (former DCP Central), of deliberately keeping stadium gates closed under Shivakumar's instructions to create a crowd spectacle as he arrived. Four individuals tied to event organization, including RCB's Marketing Head Nikhil Sosale and DNA Networks staff, were arrested and later released on bail. Abraham was last in the news for being one of the petitioners who had urged Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot to permit investigation against CM Siddaramaiah in the alleged Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam.

Karnataka plans bill for crowd management
The Karnataka government is planning to enact a legislation on crowd control and management, state law and parliamentary affairs minister HK Patil said on Thursday, with the draft proposing up to three years in jail or a fine of up to ₹5 lakh for organisers who fail to obtain permission. The proposed law — Karnataka Crowd Control (Managing Crowd at Events and Venues of Mass Gathering) Bill, 2025 — was discussed at the state cabinet meeting on Thursday along with three other laws, and is likely to be placed for approval during the next meeting, the minister said. 'Four bills were proposed today — Karnataka crowd control, managing crowd at events and venue of mass gathering Bill, 2025; Karnataka Rohith Vemula Bill, 2025; Karnataka misinformation, fake news prohibition Bill, 2025; Karnataka hate speech and hate crimes prevention Bill, 2025,' Patil told reporters after the cabinet meeting. The minister said that some of the proposed bills need detailed discussions. 'These Bills were proposed at the meeting today. I mentioned that on some Bills there is a need for a detailed discussion. It has been decided that before the next cabinet meeting, concerned ministers will meet and discuss and bring the Bills before the cabinet,' he said. The crowd control bill has been proposed days after 11 people were killed in a stampede on June 4 outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru during the Indian Premier League victory parade of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru cricket team. The draft crowd control legislation outlines a legal framework to regulate gatherings at 'sponsored events and venues of mass gathering pertaining to political rally, jatra, conference, etc.' and seeks to fix accountability on organisers. The legislation exempts certain events from its purview, including religious and traditional gatherings. 'This Act shall not apply to Jatra, Rathotsava, Pallakki Utsava, Teppada Teru, urus, or any religious event pertaining to any religion, caste or creed,' Chapter I of the bill says. HT has seen a copy of the legislation. Chapter IV of the bill lays out penalties for violation: 'If the event planner does not apply before conducting the event or fails to control the crowd gathered and fails to give the compensation or violates the provisions of this Act or rules made hereunder in any other way, [they] shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years or with fine up to five lakhs rupees or both.' Further, the bill proposes that event planners who intentionally ignore regulations or fail to take police permission before holding a gathering will be held liable if the event results in casualties. These offences are classified as non-cognizable and non-bailable, triable by a magistrate of the first class. The legislation also criminalises aiding or abetting a crime at such events. It states, 'Whoever knowingly or unknowingly believes commission or omission of any other person would be an offence under the Act' will face legal action. The draft Rohith Vemula Bill, reportedly proposes for compensation of up to ₹1 lakh for students who face caste-based discrimination in higher education institutions, and jail term of one year and pay a fine of ₹10,000 for those guilty of such offences. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had written to chief minister Siddaramaiah in April urging the Karnataka government to enact 'Rohith Vemula Act' to ensure that no one faces caste-based discrimination in the education system. Rohith Vemula, a Dalit student, allegedly died by suicide due to caste-based discrimination in Hyderabad, in 2016. HT reached out to senior BJP leaders BY Vijayendra and R Ashoka, but did not get any response to requests for comments.
