An Egyptian man who hi-jacked an EgyptAir plane and forced it to divert to Cyprus demanding to see his ex-wife surren-dered on Tuesday after a six-hour airport standoff ended peacefully. The hijacker, described by officials as “unstable”, claimed to be wearing a bomb belt but no explo-

QUOTE OF THE

DAYVirat a great batsman, who handles pressure with grace

Something special is blowing across Indian cricket. In some ways, it’s a reminder of the 1990s, when Sachin Tendulkar owned the television remote. While Virat Kohli has similar emotional effects on the fans, one difference stands out — his composure. Tendulkar bore far greater pressure, in a cricketing nation find-ing its backbone. He was the middle-class Marathi boy who grew up with the tag of genius. There was much to handle, and to his credit he did. But, unsur-prisingly, the pressure showed. Kohli is different in the way he came up in Indian cricket. As soon as he won the Under-19 World Cup, he was cast as the boy who couldn’t handle success. He couldn’t get going on his Test debut and had to be dropped. He was a good batsman but he had the swagger of a genius. But in the end, ambition won out and suddenly, things changed. Rather, he changed them. He grew more dis-ciplined, became fitter, turned more professional. A good batsman has willed himself to be a great batsman (in limited-overs cricket), who soaks in the harshest of pressures with more finesse than most other Indian cricketers. For someone with a feisty temperament, he retains a control seldom seen in Indian cricket. Where will we place these last two breathtaking knocks? In some ways, they were like Tendulkar’s Desert Storms. As good as those knocks were — and bear in mind, they were in the longer 50-overs format. Kohli’s have come in T20s, with its shorter duration to handle pressure, which can be more intense. Moreover, they have come in a World Cup event and against two different teams on two varying tracks. The Pakistan game was a turner, the Australian one was a sluggish will-bender. Both re-quired different skills, but Kohli came through in style. Kohli fears no one. Tendulkar struggled appalling-ly against James Anderson late in his career. Another former cricketer, who agrees to speak on the condition of anonymity, says that no discernible shortcoming is what makes Kohli better than Tendulkar. “Tendulkar struggled against a particular type of bowler or oppo-sition. You could get at him. With Kohli, he treats ev-erybody with the same disdain. And, his self-belief is incredible.” Another former cricketer, on the condition of anonymity, says that Kohli’s ability to manipulate the opposition and his chanceless style of batting is what sets him apart. “Once he’s in, he’s in. He just doesn’t give you a chance. And, you can’t say that about too many batsmen,” he says. Self-belief, which makes him withstand the pressure in crunch situa-tions, is something ingrained deep in Kohli’s persona; the “don’t worry, I will get you home” kind of stuff. “He has always liked a challenge. More important, he wants to overcome that challenge.

“We have seen a video released by Pakistani authorities of a former Indian naval officer, doing business in Iran, who is in Pakistani custody under unexplained circumstances,”- The Ministry of External Affairs on Tuesday dismissed, as baseless, remarks made by an alleged Indian spy in a video

According to a TOI report, an inter-ministerial panel on Monday gave a clear-ance for inter-connect agreements between inter-net service providers and telecom operators. While some chat apps, for example Viber, already allow people to call landline numbers, this functionality comes at a price. The users have to pay extra for landline calls compared to something like Viber-to-Viber calls in which the only expense is for the data. With the inter-connect agreements in place, users of chat apps will most likely won’t have to pay extra. These calls to landlines numbers will be

On Sunday against Aus-tralia in the ICC World T20, India captain MS Dhoni once again hit the winning runs in the final over.

Morgan has the experi-ence of winning a World T20 back in 2010 when England beat Austra-lia in the final with Paul Collingwood in charge. Incidentally, Colling-wood is here with the England team as a con-sultant. “Certainly my ex-perience in the knock-out stages of a tournament is that you’ve done the hard work and it’s almost now you earn a licence to go out and express yourself as much as you can.

Shame on blaming and making fun of her when she has no control over what I do with my sport. If anything she has only motivated and given me more positivity,” he wrote.

And well, we have never blamed Anushka even for once, for any of your perfor-mances! We never will.

frame his innings. The chase seems to dissolve into a complex equation containing the number of runs required, the number of balls remaining, the strengths and weakness of opposing bowlers, the nature of the pitch, the placing of the fielders and the dimensions of the field. While at the crease, he is somehow able to work out how to keep the equation balanced as the situation ebbs and flows. On Sunday, he hit two boundaries from his first three balls to an-nounce himself. Then, for the next 37 balls, it was dots, singles and twos barring one four and one

six off Glenn Maxwell that was mistimed and yet timed well enough to clear long-off. And all this while, the equation kept changing; twisting this way and that until after the 17th over when India needed 39 from 18 balls with six wickets in hand. Now it was simpler, clearer, and Kohli went to work. A short delivery from Faulkner was pulled to deep mid-wicket for four. Expecting a full de-livery to follow, Kohli then carved the next ball behind point for another four. For an encore, Kohli simply stepped down the track and drove Faulkner over long-off for six.

In a setback to IPS offi-cer Satish Verma, who led the investigation into the encounter of Ishrat Jah-an, a special CBI court on Monday rejected his ap-plication seeking permis-sion to inspect the second chargesheet in the case. Details of the chargesheet, filed in February 2014, have not been made pub-lic yet, but it names four officers of the Intelligence Bureau (IB), including former special director Rajinder Kumar. Reject-ing the application, special judge D R Vyas justified the CBI argument that the copy of the chargesheet cannot be given to Ver-ma since he has no locus standi to seek it, said CBI counsel R C Kodekar.

The oldest university of the state, which has more than four lakh regular stu-dents on its rolls, besides external students, expects to complete the task with-in a year. The job is be-ing handled by a private agency. “The digitisation is going backwards from 2015. We have so far

completed digitising the records up to 1996 exam-inations,” said one of the employees involved in digitisation work. He said it would take about a year to finish the task.Along with digitisation, they are also doing year-wise and subject-wise indexing to enable to access the record of a particular year within a few seconds.However, the hard copy of the record would still be preserved. The digitisation work is being done because there is always a risk of the re-cords on papers getting spoiled due to rains, in ac-cidental fire or by termites.

Police have arrested eight men including four gov-ernment employees for allegedly hacking into the Sales Tax department’s computer system to acti-vate ‘Taxpayer Identifica-tion Numbers’ of 14 de-funct companies so as to fraudulently withdraw Rs 11 crore in tax credit. TIN, an 11-digit number, is used by the manufacturers and wholesalers to get tax cred-it on VAT filed by com-panies. They use bills of materials supplied to com-panies to get tax refund. The city crime branch and the cyber crime sleuths carried out an investigation after a case was filed by the Deputy Commissioner of Sales Tax Mahesh Patel on March 4. The accused, which included four em-ployees of the Sale Tax de-partment, tried to activate

defunct TINs of 14 com-panies using department’s computers on February 27 and February 28, when the department was closed for holidays. They planned to use these TINs to get tax credits on fake bills of sup-pliers to these companies. “When they activated the TINs, SMS was sent to the Deputy Commissioner of Sales Tax which alerted him as only senior officials are allowed to process ac-tivation,” said Joint Com-missioner of Police (crime) J K Bhatt. Among the ar-rested persons, Balmukund Thakkar, owner of a Ra-jkot-based protein supple-ment company, was found to be the mastermind. Oth-er accused include Sales Tax department clerks Dahyabhai Parmar, Mehul Makampara, Ashok Detro-ja and Virendrasinh Parmar who allegedly provided login IDs and passwords.

However, Patel was not allowed by the Speaker Ganpat Vasava while say-ing that the former had not taken prior permission to raise an issue. Follow-ing this, all the Congress MLAs also rose on their seats and started showing placards and raising slo-gans while demanding to make public the reports of MB Shah Commission.
