'Angry' Virat Kohli Not Amused With Ravindra Jadeja After Comical Run-Out
Rajkot, Oct 05: India captain Virat Kohli was left unimpressed after teammate Ravindra Jadeja took his time to run out Windies top order batsman Shimron Hetmyer during the second day of the first Test at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. The incident took place during the 12th over when a miscalculated call saw both batsmen Sunil Ambris and Shimron Hetmyer at the same end. Seeing this, Ravindra Jadeja, who was fielding at mid-on, collected the ball and casually jogged towards the bowler's end which allowed Hetmyer run down the pitch before Jadeja took a direct at the stumps. The entire incident left Virat Kohli unamused with Jadeja, who laughed it off after creating the comical dismissal.
The incident soon became the talking point for fans on Twitter. One of the fans said, "How confidence was Jaddu! Ravindra Jadeja would have been taken for trolling if he wouldn't have hit the stumps. Look at Ashwin and Virat reactions it will make you."
How confidence was Jaddu!

The Windies were left struggling at 94/6, trailing by 555 runs at stumps on Day 2. Middle-order batsman Roston Chase, batting at 27, was the highest run scorer for the away side while pacer Mohammed Shami scalped two wickets for India.
Earlier in the day, India resuming on the overnight total of 364/4, further piled pressure on the away side with Virat Kohli scoring his 24th Test ton.
Rishabh Pant (92) also played a cautious knock. Apart from Kohli and Pant, India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who missed his maiden Test century in England, made the most of the opportunity as he too scored 100 not out off 132 balls, with India declaring at 649/9.

K'taka expects maturity, not 'impulsive commentary': LoP Ashoka slams Siddaramaiah over Iran remarks
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka expects maturity from its Chief Minister, not impulsive commentary on sensitive global affairs, Leader of Opposition in the state Legislative Assembly R Ashoka said on Tuesday.
Ashoka's comments came in response to CM Siddaramaiah’s recent post on ‘X’ regarding US-Iran tensions.
“While speaking of peace, it (US) has chosen the path of war,” the CM had said in the post, as he “strongly condemned” the contradiction, and expressed condolences on the killing of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Taking to X, Ashoka said, “Karnataka expects maturity from its Chief Minister, not impulsive commentary on sensitive international matters.”

“India’s foreign policy is determined in New Delhi with strategic depth and national interest as its guiding principle. It is not shaped or driven by domestic vote-bank compulsions or electoral calculations,” he said.
According to him, responsible leaders exercise restraint when global tensions are escalating.
The BJP leader also drew parallels to past incidents, especially Operation Sindoor, where he claimed Siddaramaiah's remarks "created unnecessary controversy and embarrassment for our State, even being amplified and finding applause in hostile foreign media.”
“And now, once again, instead of statesmanship, we are witnessing knee-jerk reactions rooted in appeasement politics,” he said.
Ashoka further said foreign policy is not a stage for ideological posturing.
“It is about safeguarding India’s sovereignty, maintaining strategic balance, and strengthening our global standing,” he said.
Karnataka deserves leadership that reinforces India’s voice on the world stage, not statements that are conveniently celebrated by those who do not wish our nation well, he added.
Ashoka reminded the Chief Minister that his words carry weight and urged him to "rise above partisan calculations" and uphold the dignity of his office.
