Ajay Rohera breaks 24-year-old world record for highest score on first-class debut
Madhya Pradesh’s Ajay Rohera broke Amol Muzumdar’s 25-year-old record of highest score on first-class debut when he crossed 260 batting against Hyderabad in the Ranji Trophy match in Indore on Saturday.
He finished unbeaten on 267 after Madhya Pradesh has declared the innings on 562/4 with a lead of 438 runs. The 21-year-old opener was batting on 255 overnight Friday while Madhya Pradesh have got to 539/4 after bowling Hyderabad out for just 124. He got to the record early on Saturday.
Mumbai’s domestic veteran Muzumdar had set the record against Haryana at Faridabad back in 1994. The other names on the ‘double hundreds on debut’ list include Gundappa Viswanath who scored 230 in 1967-68 and Afghanistan’s Baheer Shah, who was also the latest entrant to the list when he scored an unbeaten 256 in Amanullah in 2017-18 season.

SIT says Dharmasthala mass burial allegations were fabricated; 6 accused named
Bengaluru: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has told a Beltangady court that the alleged Dharmasthala mass burial case was a completely fabricated conspiracy by anti-Dharmasthala activists.
The SIT named six accused in the case, Chinnayya (A1), Mahesh Shetty Timrodi, Girish Mattannanavar, Jayanth, Vitthal Gowda, and Sujatha Bhatt. In its preliminary report, the SIT said Dharmasthala authorities had no role in the allegations and issued them a clean chit, as reported by India Today on Wednesday.
The SIT reportedly said, the first accused, Chinnayya, was paid, pressured and coached to give false statements. A false narrative of “mass burials” was allegedly built to target Dharmasthala, with the accused procuring a skull, staging evidence, and recording coached statements.

The SIT also stated that conspiracy meetings were held at the residence of Mahesh Shetty Timrodi. Video clips, bank transaction details, electronic records and witness statements have reportedly been recovered as part of the probe. The SIT concluded, in its preliminary report, that the mass burial allegations were fabricated and orchestrated as part of a planned conspiracy.
According to the report, the SIT has now sought court permission to arrest five of the accused. Arrests could take place any moment if approval is granted, and the agency is preparing for custodial interrogation to file its final report.
Reacting to the filing of the charge sheet, Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar reportedly said he had already stated in the Assembly that the accusations were part of a conspiracy.
“Some of our own leaders asked me about it. I knew the allegations were not factual and that a conspiracy was underway. But ultimately, the truth has prevailed. Justice has been done,” IT quoted Shivakumar as saying.
Shivakumar said that he had not yet seen the charge sheet and only learned about it through the media. He said the law must take its own course and warned that such conspiracies would damage institutions that had existed for years. As per the report, he also commented on differences between the RSS and the BJP, saying they were “deeply connected to this conspiracy.”
