Although they didn't get the big numbers, the two did enough damage and helped India win. Before the start of the second Test, India were facing a conundrum at the top of the order. With Rohit Sharma in quarantine after arriving in Australia, and Prithvi Shaw failing in both innings of the first Test, India had to push young Gill in the deep waters.

Health officials said that the woman had returned from England and was found corona positive after her sample was taken at Nagpur airport on December 14. The corona report from state headquarters reached district health office of Betul on Monday after which officials started searching her address. Airport authorities and ministry of external affairs had mentioned Indira Ward in her address. The phone number mentioned in her records was switched off. District officials could not find Indira Ward in Betul after which an alert was sounded by district health officials. Even police was pressed into action. Details of the corona positive patient were sent to Asha Workers across the district. It was then that one of the workers told district office that Indira ward was located in Multai and not in Betul. A team was sent there and the woman was found on the mentioned address. Twist and turns started after the health officials tried to take her to the covid care centre. The woman said that she did not have a passport and had never gone out of the . country Health officials suspected her statement. The health officials contacted their counterparts in the headquarters after which it was found that they had sent wrong information at wrong place. Confirming the incident, Corona Nodal Officer of Betul, Dr Saurabh Rathore said that a simple clerical mistake from the state corona headquarters was responsible for the incident. Test, 21-year-old Gill survived a chance on four Marnus when Labuschagne dropped him in third slip off the bowling of Pat Cummins. The very next ball from Mitchell Starc was dispatched to the fence as the batsman got on top of the bounce and punched it through cover. Soon, Gill was moving down the track to Nathan Lyon and hitting a four. On the second morning, too, he was dropped, in the , second over of the day this time off Josh Hazlewood. But the very next ball was again dispatched to the fence on the leg-side. # mission under the Public Services Guarantee Act within time limit, it will be deemed as permitted.

The government has invited the protesting farmers for the sixth round of . talks on Wednesday In its letter on Tuesday, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, which represents 40 farmer unions, said the modalities for repealing the three contentious laws and a legal guarantee on minimum support price (MSP) must be part of the agenda for the talks. The Morcha further said the agenda of the meeting should also include amendments to be made and notified in the Commission for the Air Quality Management in National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas Ordinance, 2020 to exclude farmers from its penal provisions. Through the letter, the Morcha also formally accepted the government's invitation for the dialogue. The letter also stated that withdrawal of the Electricity Amendment Bill 2020 to protect the interests of farmers should also be part of the agenda for the dialogue. The farmers had also written to the government on December 26 listing the agenda for talks. # SCRAPS POLITICAL plunge plans citing health reasons Less than a month after he confirmed his political plunge, Tamil film superstar Rajinikanth on Tuesday cited his health condition and the COVID-19 threat to withdraw his decision. Stating that only he realises the pain of this move, he apologised to his fans for disappointing them. He would have announced on December 31, the date of his party’s launch. On Sunday while being discharged from a hospital in Hyderabad, where he was admitted on Christmas for severe fluctuations in blood pressure, doctors had counselled him to avoid any activity that increases the risk of contracting COVID-19. The charismatic actor, who perhaps may make it to any ‘book of guessing records’ for oscillating on his political entry for three decades, tweeted a threepage statement explaining his decision. ‘‘The reason for this decision is my health condition. If I enter politics, I would have to meet thousands or even lakhs of people while campaigning. But even in a closed environment, while shooting [for Annaththe] with 120 people, several contracted COVID-19 and I had to be in hospital for three days. I am on immunosuppressant medication. Even if a COVID vaccine is available, if health issues arise electioneering, during those travelling with me in journey political this would be put to untold miseries. I am not inclined to make such people scapegoats,” Rajinikanth said. He acknowledged that his decision would attract criticism as he was backing out on a promise to enter electoral politics. # K'taka MLC Dy Chair insulted by Cong, found dead on rly tracks Legislative Karnataka Council Deputy Chairman S.L.
