Kochi, May 5: Bowlers claiming all ten wickets in an innings is a rarity in cricket and more so in junior level cricket. But on Wednesday 18-year-old Nazil CT from Kannur became the first bowler to achieve the unique feat of claiming all ten wickets in an innings in Kerala's junior inter-district tournament history.

NazilNazil was the cynosure of all eyes on the opening day of two-day U-19 inter-district cricket match at the KCA stadium in Perinthalmanna as his ten-wicket haul helped his side, Kannur, bundle out Malappuram for just 26 in their first innings. The lad who has just completed his plus two ended up with figures of 9.4-2-12-10 Nazil, who considers himself predominantly a swing bowler, was ecstatic at his achievement. "I'm an inswing bowler and I don't strive for much pace and it helped that the ball moved around in the morning," he said.

Out of his 10 scalps, 4 were bowled and three were leg-before wickets which exemplifies the fact that he kept probing the stumps.

Nazil comes from a family with a cricketing background. Fabid Farooq, the off-spinner who made his first-class debut for Kerala last season, is the son of Nazil's uncle. Nazil nurses ambitions of following the footsteps of his cousin and playing Ranji Trophy.

"I would like to play for Kerala one day. For the moment, it's about doing well for my district team," said the pacer who idolises Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, another swing

Bengaluru, Mar 11: Jyotiraditya Scindia has not betrayed the Congress, but he has been betrayed by the Congress and Kamal Nath, said on Wednesday Madhya Pradesh Congress MLAs who are camping here after tendering the resignations.

"It is not Jyotraditya Scindia who has betrayed. Instead, he has been betrayed by the Congress and Kamal Nath. Despite the fact that it was his hard work that enabled Congress to form the government in MP after 15 years, yet he was being sidelined. His people were sidelined," Mahendra Singh Sisodia was heard saying in a video.

Taking a veiled jibe at Chief Minister Nath, Sisodia said: "On one hand, you claim that treasury is empty and on the other, works worth Rs 12,000 crore is done in Chhindwara constituency. Are the rest of MLAs and ministers just killing time?"

He also warned other Congress MLAs that the party would be decimated in the state in the future.

"Did not the Congress trick people in MP? What happened to the farm loan waiver announced? When we go to our region, people ask us what happened to loan-waiver.
What happened to curb corruption, Vyapam? Whichever party Scindia joins, we will go with him," he said.

Former MP Minister Imarti Devi said that all 22 MLAs are in Bengaluru out of their own choice.

"All 22 MLAs are here (in Bengaluru) on their own will. We are happy Scindiaji has taken this decision. I will always stay with him even if I had to jump in a well. Kamal Nathji never heard us," she said.

Another leader dismissed talks of being in touch with anyone and said that they are happy with the decision of Scindia, who joined the BJP earlier today. He had resigned from the Congress on Tuesday.

Karwar, Jun 3: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an alert, predicting thundershowers and heavy rainfall over north interior Karnataka, coastal Dakshina Kannada and Udupi over the next three days.

With Cyclone Nisarga hitting the Uttara Kannada coast on Tuesday,  parts of coastal Karnataka received heavy rainfall. Gusty winds tore through the coastal towns, as the sea too turned violent with rough waves smashing the shore.

The alert was issued with the advancement of Nisarga from east-central Arabian Sea to north Maharashtra, and adjoining south Gujarat coast. “Though it does not cover Karnataka, the range of cyclonic winds is very big and reaches north interior Karnataka also.

So an alert has been called out,” CS Patil, director in-charge, IMD, Bengaluru, said. The weather department has forecast a severe cyclonic storm and then a depression. Patil said formation of systems is a common factor before the onset of the monsoon and they help in its advancement.

“Cyclone Nisarga is helping in the quick advancement of the southwest monsoon to Karnataka, and the monsoon is likely to arrive before the scheduled date as conditions are favourable,” he added.
