Karnataka CM, political leaders remember Saroja Devi as Abhinaya Saraswati
Bengaluru, Jul 14 (PTI) Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar and several political leaders have expressed grief over the death of veteran South Indian actress B Saroja Devi, remembering her as "Abhinaya Saraswati", as she was fondly addressed. Saroja Devi died on Monday at her residence in Malleswaram, Bengaluru. She was 87. She has worked in over 200 Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, and Hindi films. Siddaramaiah, in his condolence message posted on X, said her departure is a great loss to the Indian cinema. "The news of the death of veteran Kannada actress B Saroja Devi is painful. She acted in about 200 Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada language films and was known as Abhinaya Saraswati," he said. When we think of Saroja Devi, her soulful performances in films like Kittur Chennamma, Babruvahana, Anna Thangi come to mind, he said. She entertained moviegoers for decades. Deputy CM DK Shivakumar said, also on X, "A loving farewell to Abhinaya Saraswathi." "The news of the demise of senior Kannada actress B Saroja Devi, popularly known as Abhinaya Saraswathi, is painful. She acted in five languages and served the film industry for 6 decades," he said. Leader of Opposition in Legislative Assembly R Ashoka, expressing grief, said her passing away is an irreparable loss not only to Kannada but also to the entire Indian cinema. Stating that Saroja Devi was recognized as one of the greatest actresses of the Indian film industry, former CM Basavaraj Bommai said, "She had acted in many mythological and historical films and was a household name among Kannadigas. Her portrayal of Kittur Chennamma is still remembered by everyone." Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan awards were sought after for her achievements, he said.

England Accused Of 'Cheating' In Lord's Test, India Great Launches No Holds Barred Attack
Day 3 of the third Test between India and England ended on a heated note at Lord's, London. During the day, Team India had a good outing with the bat as KL Rahul smashed a century while Rishabh Pant scored 74 and Ravindra Jadeja hit 72. Resulting which, India were bundled out for 387 runs, equal to what the Three Lions scored in their first innings. On the cusp of stumps, England came out to bat again but their openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett gave it their all to force an early end to the day's play. In the first over, which was bowled by Jasprit Bumrah, Crawley tried various antics to keep on delaying the proceedings as stumps were called after that over. These antics left India skipper Shubman Gill fuming as he also exchanged some fiery words with Crawley, leaving the fans shocked. Speaking on the incident, former India cricketer Farokh Engineer slammed England and also accused Crawley of "cheating". "English people will call it professionalism but I would call it cheating. That was timewasting tactics. They did not want to face another over which was very obvious. He could have been discrete about it but he made it look so obvious. That wasn't very fair. But who knows? I don't think our batsmen would have done such a blatant thing. The headline is it's not cricket," said Engineer while speaking to RevSportz. Engineer further criticised England's 'Bazball' style of cricket and stated that they can never play in that style in front of Team India. "This Bazball is all bundlebaz, they can do Bazball against Bangladesh or Afghanistan and Sri Lanka," said Engineer. "Against India, they cannot do that and I have always said that in the past. I wish they had adopted Bazball, we would have won the series by now," said Engineer.

Sunil Gavaskar rages after Paul Reiffel's dubious decision saves Joe Root; Jonathan Trott 'flabbergasted': 'No way'
England set India a 193-target to win, but it could have been a little less – four runs to be precise – had Paul Reiffel not erred in his decision on Joe Root. The former England captain, who scored a gritty 40 in the second innings, was batting on 36 when he survived a close LBW call. Root shuffled on the off-side, with a ball from Mohammed Siraj rapping him on the pads. Umpire Reiffel remained unmoved, but Siraj and India captain Shubman Gill believed it was a lot closer. They immediately went upstairs, and that's when things got exciting. Mohammed Siraj couldn't believe that Paul Reiffel declared Joe Root NOT OUT.(AFP Images) Also Read: Siraj stares at umpire after Root escapes, Kumble calls out his credibility on live TV; 'Paul Reiffel has decided...' The ball had pitched in line and impacted, too, and even as its trajectory clipped the top of the leg stump, the umpire's call prevailed. The decision sent shockwaves among broadcasters and commentators, as the Indian players struggled to come to terms with the fact that it was declared not out. Siraj was livid, as was Gill, Dhruv Jurel, KL Rahul and almost everybody else expressing their displeasure. The decision sent ripples inside the commentary box with the legendary Sunil Gavaskar saying there was no way the ball would not have hit the stumps. Gavaskar not impressed, neither is Trott "I cannot believe the ball has moved that much. You're saying it was going to kiss the leg stump? There's no way. It was knocking the leg stump off. The only good thing is that India have not lost the review," Gavaskar said. The decision did not hurt India big time, though, as India got their man soon after with Washington Sundar dismissing the England legend to pick up the first of his four wickets. India, in fact, sensing that Reiffel may not be of much help to them, took the LBW entirely out of the equation, clean bowling the rest of the English batters to bowl them out for 192. Jonathan Trott, part of the English broadcasting panel couldn't believe Reiffel's decision either. "I am flabbergasted. Having looked at that replay, I thought it was crashing into the inside part of the leg stump. Watching it in real time, I couldn't believe it was missing. You thought it was crashing into the inside of the stump. When you saw that normal speed, it was hardly missing a leg stump. England survive again. India animated," he said.
