Wasim Jaffer becomes first batsman to score 11,000 runs in Ranji Trophy
Veteran batsman Wasim Jaffer on Wednesday became the first batsman to go past 11,000 runs in Ranji Trophy during Vidarbha’s round three match against Baroda at the VCA stadium in Nagpur.
He made 153 during Baroda’s first innings, his 54th first-class century in a career that has lasted 23 seasons. Jaffer put up a staggering 300-run stand for the second wicket with skipper Faiz Fazal. The 41-year-old got to the landmark when he was on 97.
Jaffer is also the first batsman in Ranji Trophy batsman to go past the 10,000-run mark. His former Mumbai teammate Amol Muzumdar is at the second spot in the batting charts with 9,202 runs, creating some daylight. Jaffer played a leading role last season when Vidarbha stunned the field to become champions. He was run out for 153 on day two. Fazal fell soon after for 151 as Vidarbha marched towards the 500-run mark.
If you want to understand true love, look at Wasim Jaffer playing #RanjiTrophy at 41, with no chance of playing for India again. #Respect

Dalit officer alleges harassment by senior officials in Civil Rights Enforcement Directorate
Bengaluru: An Inspector of the Directorate of Civil Rights Enforcement (DCRE) has alleged that Dalit officers are facing harassment from senior officials within the department that is meant to handle cases of atrocities against SC/ST communities.
Inspector T.R. Srinivas has made the allegations in a letter addressed to DCRE Director General of Police Umesh Kumar, which he has also shared with the media. He has also released a video reiterating the claims.
In the video, Srinivas has named DCRE SP Karibasangouda and DySP Maheshwaragouda, alleging that he was pressured to act in favour of upper-caste accused in certain cases. He further claimed that false complaints were accepted against him and he was harassed in the name of inquiry.
Srinivas also alleged that he was not officially relieved from duty in DCRE, but that SP Karibasangouda and DySP Maheshwaragouda created “fake documents” showing that he had been relieved, which he said was in violation of an order of the Karnataka Administrative Tribunal (KAT).
He said he had served for 20 years without any adverse remarks, but is now being targeted. “Working for Dalits and serving in the police department itself seems to have become a mistake,” he said, adding that Dalit officers are not receiving protection in the state.
He also alleged lack of transparency in the department and claimed that decisions are being dominated by upper-caste officials. In the video, he appealed to the government to intervene and prevent any untoward incident, warning that if the situation continues, responsibility would lie with the Chief Minister, Home Minister and the DGP.
Srinivas had been transferred from the DCRE last month, but had obtained a stay on the transfer from the Karnataka Administrative Tribunal.
Meanwhile, DCRE SP Karibasangouda has denied the allegations made by Srinivas.
