Notably, the NIMAS team is the only Indian expedition to achieve a 100% summit success rate on Mt. Kangchenjunga this season, a testament to the team's rigorous preparation, discipline, and unyielding spirit. In a season marked by extreme conditions and high attrition, every climber from the NIMAS team who attempted the summit made it — an extraordinary accomplishment on one of the most formidable mountains in the world.
'This wasn't just an expedition. It was a tribute to every corner of India. From the dense forests of the northeast to the icy ramparts of Kangchenjunga, our Tiranga has now flown atop every state's highest point,' said Col Jamwal. 'I'm proud of the team and honored to lead a mission that reflects the unity and diversity of our great nation.'

Kaushik's 31-ball 95 powers Mavericks to massive win
Lucknow: Madhav Kaushik's explosive 31-ball 95, followed by disciplined bowling, powered Meerut Mavericks to a flying start in the 3rd UPT20 League, crushing Kanpur Superstars by 86 runs at the Ekana Stadium on Sunday. After a star-studded opening ceremony featuring Bollywood celebrities, which charged up the atmosphere, Madhav took it to another level with seven towering sixes and 10 exquisite boundaries. After Kanpur slumped to 30/5 in eight overs, Madhav added an unbeaten 130-run stand for the third wicket with Rituraj Sharma (60 off 26) to take Meerut to a formidable 225/2. In reply, Kanpur never looked in the contest as their batters struggled against the immaculate line and length of Meerut's bowlers. Skipper Sameer Rizvi (45) fought a lone battle, but with wickets tumbling regularly, he found no support from the other end. Once the top order collapsed, Kanpur's defeat seemed inevitable as they were restricted to 139/9, losing by 86 runs. The night truly belonged to Kaushik, who played a scintillating knock but unluckily missed out on a well-deserved century off the final ball. Having hit the previous two deliveries for a four and a six to move to 94, he needed another six off Bobby Yadav's last ball but managed only a single, falling just short of becoming the fourth centurion in UPT20 League history after Swastik Chikara, Sameer Rizvi, and Karan Sharma. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite? Vitauthority Learn More Undo Nonetheless, Kaushik's innings was outstanding, featuring 10 fours and seven sixes, with his half-century coming in just 18 balls. Sharma struck four fours and four sixes in his 60-run blitz, while opener Akashay Dubey provided a solid start with 44, including two fours and four sixes. The two Kanpur wickets to fall were claimed by Shubham Mishra and Bobby Yadav. For Meerut, every bowler chipped in, with Vijay Kumar, Kartik Tyagi, and Yash Garg taking two wickets each, while skipper Rinku Singh, who did not get to bat, also claimed one wicket with his off-spin in two overs. Bollywood glitz marks grand opening The opening ceremony featured performances by Bollywood singer Sunidhi Chauhan, actresses Disha Patani and Tamannaah Bhatia, and actor Sidharth Malhotra. The event was inaugurated by BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla and UPT20 governing council chairman DS Chauhan. "The UPT20 League provides a great platform for UP players to push for Indian Premier League (IPL) selection. This is the third season, and we are confident that more players will earn IPL berths this time," said Shukla. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

She added, 'He was always asking, 'How can I help her accomplish her dreams?''
