CAT quashes IPS officer's suspension order
Eleven people lost their lives after nearly 2.5 lakh fans thronged the MG Road and Cubbon Road areas near the stadium after RCB announced a victory parade and a fan engagement programme to celebrate the team's maiden IPL triumph.
'Police personnel are also human beings. They are neither 'God' (Bhagwan) nor 'Magician' and also not having the magic powers like 'Alladdin ka Chirag' which was able to fulfil any wish only by rubbing a finger,' the CAT observed.
The RCB had posted in its social media handles about the parade and the fan engagement on the morning of June 4, and the Tribunal noted that the police department did not have sufficient time in its hands to manage such a large gathering at such short notice.

'Bit Of Similarity With Rishabh Pant': Michael Atherton In Awe Of Vaibhav Suryavanshi
Last Updated: Michael Atherton has lauded Vaibhav Suryavanshi's power-hitting, comparing him to Rishabh Pant. Former England cricketer Michael Atherton has said that Vaibhav Suryavanshi's power-hitting has a tad bit of similarity with that of India's Test vice-captain Rishabh Pant, who too was in a mood to go for the big hits in the second Test against England at Edgbaston. Suryavanshi smashed a jaw-dropping hundred off just 52 deliveries against England U19, setting a new benchmark in Youth ODIs. With this explosive innings, Suryavanshi has become the youngest Indian to score a Youth ODI hundred, breaking Sarfaraz Khan's 10-year-old record. Athers breaks down teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi's remarkable 52-ball century for India Under-19s 🤯⭐ — Sky Sports Cricket (@SkyCricket) July 5, 2025 'The young man, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who shot to prominence as, teenage prodigy, shot to prominence with a 35-ball 100 in the IPL, hit a 52-ball 100 today. He's finally out for 143 of 78 balls, 13 fours, 10 sixes, some incredible shots in this innings," Atherton said while speaking on Sky Sports. 'There is a bit of a similarity with Rishabh Pant, the way that he plays, he's got a beautiful swing of the bat, a very pure and natural swing of the bat and was clearly in fantastic form today, giving it some real welly," Atherton added. Sarfaraz had scored a hundred at 15 years and 338 days against South Africa U19 12 years ago. Suryavanshi's knock also shattered the record for the fastest Youth ODI hundred ever. Pakistan's Kamran Ghulam held this record for his 53-ball century against England U19 in 2013. Vaibhav first showed his brilliant talent in the Indian Premier League while playing for the Rajasthan Royals. Suryavanshi, who had scores of 48, 45 and 86 in his previous three outings in the series, struck 10 boundaries and seven sixes during his innings. Sent in to bat, India lost skipper Ayush Mhatre in just the fourth over. Suryavanshi and Vihaan Malhotra added 219 runs for the second wicket before the former was dismissed by Ben Mayes. In 2024, Suryavanshi struck the joint-fastest century in men's Youth Tests against Australia U19 in Chennai, by reaching the three-figure mark in just 56 deliveries. First Published:

Sanju Samson returns to Kerala Cricket with record-breaking KCL signing
ANI Published 5 Jul 2025, 06:27 PM IST Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], July 5 (ANI): Indian wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson made a record-breaking return to the Kerala cricket circuit following his omission from last season's Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT), as he became the most expensive signing at the Kerala Cricket League (KCL) auction for a record ₹ 26.60 lakhs, being picked up by Kochi Blue Tigers, reported ESPNCricinfo on Saturday. This will be Samson's first competitive appearance since the conclusion of a disappointing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, in which he scored 285 runs in nine matches at an average of 35.62 and a strike rate of over 140, with a half-century to his name. His team finished at number nine, winning just four and losing 10 and failing to finish their games well. Samson missed a chunk of the season due to a side strain. The KCL will mark Samson's first appearance in the Kerala circuit since he was last omitted from the VHT squad for not attending a preparation camp leading up to it. While the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) stated that they wanted to set a precedent, Samson claimed to have written to the board asking for permission to miss the camp. Named as the brand ambassador of the league, Samson missed the first-ever season of KCL due to international commitments last year. He has solidified his spot in T20Is for India, smashing three centuries against Bangladesh and South Africa last year. In 42 T20Is, he has made 861 runs at an average of 25.32, with three centuries and two fifties and a best score of 111. Last year, in 13 T20Is and 12 innings at an average of 43.60, with a strike rate of 180.16, three centuries and a fifty. The inaugural edition of the league came into focus during the IPL this year as the teenage left-arm spinner Vignesh Puthur was signed by five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) for ₹ 30 lakhs after fine performances in trials. He was also taken to South Africa, where he was the net bowler for MI Cape Town in the SA20 season three. Signed for ₹ 3.75 lakh during the first edition, Puthur's services were retained by Alleppey Ripples for the second edition. In his debut IPL, Puthur picked up six wickets in five matches for MI.
