Rohit Sharma has won the toss and opted to bat first against SRH, while Delhi Capitals are batting first after Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to field for RCB.

The defending champions Mumbai Indians is playing Sunrisers Hyderabad in a do-or-die match. To qualify for the playoffs MI need to win by minimum margin of 170 runs, which is very unlikely. On the other hand SRH have nothing to worry about, as they are already out of the tournament and will be looking to end their 2021 IPL chapter with a win.

Mumbai Indians

The inconsistency is the reason Mumbai Indians have not qualified for the playoffs this year, despite of having a brilliant squad. MI’s key players like, Hardik Pandya, Surya Kumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan have failed to perform when required most by their teams. However, bowling attack is still as good as it was i previous two seasons. This is probably be the last match Mumbai is playing in the IPL 2021. After yesterday’s win over Rajasthan Royals Kolkata Knight Riders have almost booked their place in the playoffs and will play RCB in the first eliminator of the tournament.

Playing XI MI: Rohit Sharma(c), Ishan Kishan(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, James Neesham, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Jasprit Bumrah, Piyush Chawla, Trent Boult

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Kane Williamson-led Hyderabad is currently the bottom ranked team on the points table and are out of the playoffs race. SRH have not played their best cricket this season but in their previous match they had beaten RCB in a close contest. With young gun Umran Malik and Bhubaneshwar kumar their bowling looks sorted, however their main concern is batting, not a single player has been making runs for SRH this season, is one of the reason why they are sitting out at bottom of the table.

Playing XI SRH: Jason Roy, Abhishek Sharma, Manish Pandey(c), Priyam Garg, Abdul Samad, Wriddhiman Saha(w), Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Umran Malik, Siddarth Kaul

Head-to-head record

Mumbai Indians have a slight edge over Hyderabad with 9 wins in 17 matches.

The match will start at 7:30pm (IST) on Star Sports network and streaming platform Disney Plus Hotstar.

RCB vs DC: Virat Kohli won the toss and invited Delhi to bat first

Meanwhile Royal Challengers Bangalore is playing against previous season runner-up Delhi Capitals, who is also at the top of the points table. Virat Kohli-led RCB have already qualified for playoffs but to finish in top-two, would give them an extra opportunity to play in knock-outs. To finish in top-two RCB need to win by at least 156 runs, which is very unlikely against this giant Delhi side.

Delhi Capitals are currently at the top of the table, and will remain at the top, irrespective of the result.

The Special Operation Group (SOG) of Jammu and Kashmir Police recovered an SLR rifle, magazines and live rounds during a coordinated search operation in Doda district, marking an important step in tightening the region’s security grid.

Arms recovered in Bhalara Forest during SOG operation

Acting on precise intelligence inputs, the SOG team launched a targeted search in the Bhalara Forest area under Police Station Thathri. The operation, conducted under the supervision of SSP Doda Sandeep Mehta, led to the recovery of one SLR rifle, two magazines and 22 live bullets.

According to the police release, this recovery is significant as it prevents the possible misuse of the weapon and ammunition by anti-social or anti-national elements. Officials said the operation once again underscores the Jammu & Kashmir Police’s commitment to maintaining peace and public safety in Doda district.

Further investigation is underway to trace the source of the weapon and identify those responsible for concealing it.

Recent security actions in the region

Earlier in November, police in Shopian carried out extensive searches across multiple locations targeting individuals linked to the banned organisation Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), proscribed under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

Jamaat-e-Islami Jammu & Kashmir, which has been banned multiple times, last faced a renewed five-year ban in 2024 for alleged separatist-linked activities.

PM Modi to open Lok Sabha debate on 150 years of ‘Vande Mataram’ today

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will today initiate a special Lok Sabha debate marking 150 years of ‘Vande Mataram’. The discussion is expected to highlight the song’s historical relevance and political controversies surrounding it.

pm modi speech

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will today launch a special discussion in the Lok Sabha, marking 150 years of the iconic patriotic composition ‘Vande Mataram’. The debate, spread over 10 hours, is designed to revisit the song’s historical journey, its role in the freedom struggle, and the contrasting political interpretations that surround it.

PM Modi expected to highlight the song’s legacy

The Prime Minister is likely to underscore how Bankim Chandra Chatterjee’s work—first published on November 7, 1875 in Bangadarshan—became a rallying force during India’s struggle for independence.

Opposition benches are keenly observing the Prime Minister’s remarks as his recent comments on the song stirred a political argument. At an event marking the anniversary last month, he alleged that the Congress “removed important stanzas” in 1937, claiming the move weakened the essence of national unity. According to him, the decision “sowed the seeds of Partition” and divided the song.

The Congress, meanwhile, has maintained that the decision followed the advice of Rabindranath Tagore and was intended to respect the sentiments of people of different faiths.

Debate likely to get louder amid ongoing political friction

The Rajya Sabha version of the discussion will be opened by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday. Members of the ruling alliance have been allotted three hours in the Lok Sabha session dedicated to the debate.

The matter has already seen flashpoints ahead of the Winter Session. A reminder issued by the Rajya Sabha Secretariat advising MPs not to use expressions like ‘Vande Mataram’ and ‘Jai Hind’ during proceedings to “maintain decorum” triggered opposition backlash, with critics alleging that the government is uncomfortable with symbols of national identity.

The Winter Session runs until December 19, and early signs indicate that discussions around ‘Vande Mataram’ may remain contentious in the days ahead.

Massive fire at Goa nightclub kills 25 as new video captures terrifying moments

A newly surfaced video from a North Goa nightclub has revealed the horrifying moments leading up to a massive fire that claimed 25 lives, including five tourists, turning a night of music and dance into a fatal disaster.

Video shows flames erupting during performance

The visuals, recorded at Birch by Romeo Lane in Arpora, show flames suddenly appearing on the ceiling just moments after fireworks were used during a musical act. What began as a regular Saturday night event — advertised on social media as a Bollywood Banger Night — quickly escalated into chaos as smoke and fire spread across the packed venue.

The clip captures the crowd enjoying the performance to the popular Sholay track ‘Mehbooba Mehbooba’ when the first sparks are seen overhead. Seconds later, the fire intensifies, triggering panic among those inside.

Fire safety clearance under suspicion

Although the exact cause of the blaze is yet to be confirmed, officials suspect the incident began after fireworks were set off indoors during the show. Authorities also believe the nightclub may not have had the mandatory fire department clearance, raising concerns over violations that could have worsened the tragedy.

Located around 25 km from Panaji, the nightclub quickly turned into a death trap as the blaze spread before many could escape.
