Mangaluru, Apr 2: Bowlers of Mangalore United ruled the roost as they unnerved Karkala Gladiators batsmen in an one-sided final match at Dr B R Ambedkar Stadium on the outskirts of the city to clinch the Mangalore Premier League-2018 trophy last night.

The fourth edition of the MPL was jointly organized by the Brand Vision Events, Mangalore Occasionals and Sea Bird Cricket Academy with the approval and guidance of Karnataka State Cricket Association. A total of 12 teams had participated in the tourney which commenced on March 20.

Akshay Ballal-led Mangalore United had entered the summit round with a great strain as they had to go through a Super Over to defeat T4 Super Kings in a nail-biting seminal on Saturday. In the finale, however, the situation was quite different as it seemed that the Gladiators had poised to surrender themselves halfway through by laying down the weapons in the battlefield.

After turning in a command bowling performance to skittle Suhel Semitha –led team for a mere 72 in 16.1 overs, the explosive Mangalore United batting line-up secured the team's triumph over Karkala Gladiators with almost eleven more overs to spare in the T20 match.

Gladiators never recovered from an early triple strike as eight of their eleven players returned to the dugout even before making a double-digit score. Only Nithin Mulky (29 off 25 balls), Suhel Semitha (11 off 12 balls) and Afwan Karkala (10 off 15 balls) reached double figures.

Aggressive all-rounder Ballal, who claimed 3 wickets for 18 runs in four overs, proved deadly for Gladiators in batting too. He smashed a blistering 48 off 30 balls comprising nine authoritative fours to emerge as the man of the match. In the first ball of the 10th over, Mangalore United crossed the Gladiators’ target and scored 74 runs after losing two wickets.

Incidentally, Mangalore United is owned by B A Mohiuddin Bava, the MLA of Mangaluru City North and a local patron of cricket, whose team with the same name had in the past emerged champions in Karnataka Premiere League (KPL) too.

Bengaluru, Jul 16: Former union minister and Senior Congress leader Veerappa Moily on Wednesday said that if at all there is a political future for Sachin Pilot it is in the Congress party.

While speaking to news agency, Moily said Sachin Pilot achieved everything by being in Congress party.

"Sachin Pilot became MP, union minister in UPA-II, PCC president in Rajasthan and Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan. Whatever grievances you have, it needs to be resolved within the forum of the party. There is no hurry for Sachin Pilot. If at all there is a future for him it is in the Congress party. He has to realise that. He says he won't join BJP, it is good," Moily said.

The former Union Minister Moily further said that Pilot could not become Chief Minister as in Congress, the high command sends an observer and opinion of MLAs is ascertained, be it in Madhya Pradesh or Rajasthan.

"The leader who enjoys the support of elected MLAs is made Chief Minister," Moily said.
On July 14, Congress party had sacked Sachin Pilot from the post of Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan and also from PCC president.

The Rajasthan Congress is in turmoil over the past few days. State Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has blamed the BJP for attempting to destabilise the state government by poaching MLAs. The Congress government in the state is facing a political crisis after simmering differences between Pilot and Ashok Gehlot came out in the open.

A controversy broke out in Rajasthan after Special Operation Group (SOG) sent a notice to Pilot to record his statement in the case registered by SOG in the alleged poaching of Congress MLAs in the state.
