ONGC end title drought, lift DDCA Hot Weather crown New Delhi, June 27 ONGC, who had to be content with the runners-up position in many a tournament in the last few weeks, finally played to their potential to end the winning streak of Indian Airlines, who were eyeing for their fourth title, in recent months. Himachal Pradesh Ranji Trophy player Sandeep Sharma blasted a swashbuckling century knock of 117 runs with eleven fours and three sixes off 106 balls to put ONGC on the road to a big total, and the fine batting performances were later consolidated by Delhi Ranji Trophy players Sanjay Gill (4 for 31) and Amit Bhandari (3 for 18) to help ONGC win the title. Sandeep Sharma was declared the Man of the Match. ONGC skipper Rizwan Shamshad called correctly and opted to bat. Openers Gagan Khoda (51, 6x4, 61b) and Sandeep Sharma (117, 3x6, 11x4, 106b) gave a fine batting display to put on a 97-run stand before Gagan Khoda returned to the pavilion. But Sandeep Sharma found another stable and able partner in skipper Rizwan Shamshad as the third-wicket partnership yielded 119 runs. Rizwan slammed 39 off 31 balls with two fours. Though left-arm spinner Sonu Sharma bowled well to claim four wickets for 39 runs for Indian Airlines, ONGC amassed 252 all out in 39.5 overs. Indian Airlines, in reply, failed to tackle the fiery ONGC bowling and crashed out for 153 in 38.4 overs. Indian Airlines lost four wickets for nine runs with the first three batsmen, Manish Sharma, Manvinder Bisla and Ishan Ganda, failing to even open their accounts. Shafiq Khan made seven runs. Rajat Bhatia stemmed the tide somewhat with a well-made 57 off 62 balls, which included one six and four fours. Rajat and Sanjay Dobal (23, 1x6, 2x4) added 50 runs for the sixth wicket but once the partnership was broken, Indian Airlines could not recover and crashed for 153. DDCA vice-president C K Khanna, who is also the senior vice-president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, gave away the prizes. DDCA joint secretary Sunil Khanna, who is also the sports officer of ONGC, was also present along with other DDCA officials. Scores: 252 all out in 39.5 overs (Sandeep Sharma 117, 11x4, 3x6; Gagan Khoda 51; Rizwan Shamshad 39; Sonu Sharma 4 for 39; Gagandeep 1 for 51; Manvinder Bisla 1 for 33; Babloo Kumar 1 for 39). Indian Airlines: 153 all out in 38.4 overs (Rajat Bhatia 57, 1x6, 4x4; Pardeep Chawla 34; Sanjay Dobal 23; Sanjay Gill 4 for 31; Amit Bhandari 3 for 18; Rizwan Shamshad 2 for 33; Pardeep Jain 1 for 33). |

St Stephen’s
sports trial: Too many for too few seats New Delhi, June 27 “We had more than 1,000 candidates who appeared for the sports trial but we only had to select merely 40 to 50. The competition for every seat was fierce. It was decided that the interview for sports quota candidates would be conducted today,” said Mr Rajkumar Clement of Physical Education Department, St Stephen’s College. “Only 34 students were finally able to pull through even though 60 applicants were short-listed for the interview. This year, surprisingly, there were more boys than girls applying in the sports quota. As expected, they had come from all parts of the country,” he added. With more than 100 applicants turning up for the cricket trial, only five managed to make it. It was a tragic end to the years of hard work for others. “I had come all the way from Jaipur for St. Stephen’s cricket trial. I had represented my school at the inter-college cricket tournament. But I was not even short-listed for the interview,” said Mohammad Asif. “Some of the aspirants who appear for the sports trial sometimes come with fake sports certificates. That’s why we are here, to know identify them,” said Mr S. K. Chakravarty of the Physical Education Department. “We also have to keep some other things in mind as well like whether the candidate is serious or not towards the game, whether he/she will be an asset to the college,” he added. “This year for football trials, we have installed cameras all over the ground because it has been noticed that the persons who appeared for the football trial is different from the one who came for the interview. So it is only the cream that is taken and mostly those who have played at the national and state level tournaments. This year, we have taken only three football players,” he pointed out. |

Karma does its bit for games New Delhi, June 27 But things may change if Karma has its way. Karma, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), is dedicated to the cause of social awareness, and has been working in the field of development of women and children on health awareness. It has trained many women under the self-employment programme, and given them a new meaning in life. But one thing that sets Karma apart from other NGOs is its involvement in sports. Karma has been involved in the field of sports for the last four years, and claims to be the “only NGO in the world” working for sports. That may be a claim, too far-fetched, but the fact that Karman has been doing its bit to promote sports among the underprivileged children has given it a unique place. “Our aim is to develop and groom children from weaker section of society and add meaning to their lives by giving them an aim. Sports also develops their personality and disciplines their life”, says Karma’s president Poonam Azad, who is the wife of former Indian cricket star Kirti Azad, now a Member of Parliament. Poonam Azad admits the fact that sports is a big industry now and it should be taken as a source of employment. “Youth is a source of energy, and Karma helps them to use their energy as a constructive force”, she says. Karma goes to the slum clusters, mark an area for special attention and encourage children there to form a group of 11 players, and make them play in tournaments. The cricket experts of Karma then shortlists the talented players, who are adopted by Karma and grooms them. “We look after their sporting career as well as their educational and nutritional aspects”, noted Ms Azad. One of Karma’s boys, Raju Sharma, coming from a very poor family background, was selected as a probable for the Delhi Ranji Trophy team. Another boy, Ankur Jhulka, has played for the Delhi Under-14 team. Karma recently brought 20 boys selected from Bihar to Delhi and gave them a memorable cricketing experience under the expert guidance of Sports Authority of India coaches at the National Stadium. Karma is determined to see that its foray into cricket produces some top class cricketers from the underprivileged section of society, to give concrete reality to the dreams of the slum children. |

Goel tells
Advani to increase cops’ casual leave New Delhi, June 27 Mr Goel stated that Delhi Police personnel used to get 15 days casual leave three years ago, which was reduced to 10 days.
