An explosive half-century by Shankar & classy knocks from Gill & Miller powered GT to a seven-wicket win over KKR
-
A good revenge story, this, one that held the stands spellbound for a goodish while. And how very entertainingly, tantalisingly did the climax come! The champions, chasing 180, seemed at one point to have been left hopelessly stifled by the hosts' spin troika, Varun Chakrabarthy, Suyash Sharma and Sunil Narine, who had put a chokehold on the batting. Runs were coming in trickles. Bowlers seemed close to pulling it off for the locals after they had done feebly with the bat on being put in. Another humiliation for the big boys of the top team of the previous season was being looked forward to.

The paradox of experience
This reliance on guest faculties is a plague that threatens the very core of educational quality. It fosters a culture of sycophancy, where young teachers must remain in the good graces of administrators just to keep their temporary jobs, stifling the critical thinking and dissent that are essential to a university environment. The government must recognize that the education sector cannot be run on a ‘rental’ model. The wisdom of the retired is valuable but it should be channeled through advisory roles or emeritus honors that do not occupy active teaching slots
