Shivam steers Dragons to convincing victory
Shivam Singh's unbeaten half-century (82 n.o., 50b, 5x4, 5x6) powered Dindigul Dragons to a convincing seven-wicket win over Lyca Kovai Kings in the opening match of TNPL-9 at the Sri Ramakrishna College ground here on Thursday. Chasing a moderate target of 150, opener Shivam started cautiously before seamlessly switching gears and delivering some lusty blows. Shivam, who was dropped on one, found able support from R. Vimal Khumar as the duo added 64 runs for the second wicket. The opener cut, swept and pulled en route his half-century. Once he crossed 50, he cut loose and closed out the game in style by smashing pacer Govinth for consecutive sixes as the defending champion romped home with 16 balls to spare. Earlier, Dragons' skipper R. Ashwin opted to field first, and his bowlers backed up the decision with a disciplined effort to restrict Kovai Kings to 149 for eight. Only B. Sachin put up a fight for the home team, scoring 51. The openers lacked intent and struggled to score boundaries against Ashwin and pacer Sandeep Warrier. Sachin and Andre Siddarth then came together for a 62-run alliance for the third wicket to set a platform for the Kings. Sachin was the aggressor in the partnership and was strong off the backfoot, targeting the square region behind the wicket on the off-side. However, a mix-up between the duo meant Andre was run out in the 13th over. From there, the Dragons struck at regular intervals to restrict the two-time champion to a below-par total and kickstart its title defence on the right note. The scores: Lyca Kovai Kings 149/8 in 20 overs (B. Sachin 51, Warrier 2/27, Ashwin 2/33, Periyasamy 2/30) lost to Dindigul Dragons 154/3 in 17.2 overs (Shivam Singh 82 n.o., Shahrukh Khan 2/26). Friday's match: IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans vs Chepauk Super Gillies (7.15 p.m.).

3 changing flat tyre injured as truck rams into their car on Delhi-Jaipur E-way
Three men were critically injured after being run over by their own car, which was hit by a speeding truck while they were replacing a flat tyre on the Delhi-Jaipur expressway near Narsinghpur, police said on Tuesday. The incident took place between 1am and 1.30am on Sunday when four friends were returning to their homes in Manesar from Wazirabad, Sector 52. The injured were identified as Govind Singh (31), Amit Kumar (27), and Umesh Kumar (28), all residents of Manesar. They suffered multiple fractures and were rushed to a private hospital on Khandsa Road. The fourth member, Shivam (25), Umesh's brother, escaped unhurt, as he was relieving himself a few feet away when the collision occurred. Sandeep Kumar, public relations officer of Gurugram police, said, 'Govind was driving a Maruti Suzuki Wagon-R and pulled over after noticing noise and understeer. They found the rear right tyre punctured and began replacing it when a speeding truck veered into the left lane and hit the car, which then ran over them.' Police said the truck driver fled the scene. 'CCTV footage from nearby cameras is being scanned to trace the vehicle's registration number and identify the driver,' Kumar added. Shivam alerted the police control room immediately after the crash. Emergency vehicles and ambulances reached the scene and transported the victims to hospital. An FIR was registered at the Sector 37 police station on Monday based on Govind's complaint, under sections 125(a) (causing hurt by endangering the life or personal safety of others) and 281 (rash driving) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
