KL Rahul drops catch, then subtly blames Ravindra Jadeja quick over rate, here's what the replays revealed
KL Rahul proved how Ravindra Jadeja was responsible behind the former putting down a sitter at slip. New Delhi: An Indian bowling group without Jasprit Bumrah took all 20 wickets and propelled Shubman Gill led side to a dominant win to draw up the series, after a thumping one-sided win against England leveled the five-match series. In Edgbaston, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Ravindra Jadeja, and Prasidh Krishna stepped up and India convincingly won the game by 336 runs against Ben Stokes-led England. It was a day to remember for Akash Deep and Shubman Gill, who came out as the most standout players in the comprehensive victory of the visitors. The most impressive star with the bat was Shubman Gill, who scored a whopping 430 runs in the game, 269 runs in the first innings and 161 in the second innings. In the stipulated time, Akash Deep made a mark with the ball as he managed to take ten wickets in total including a remarkable six-wicket haul in the second innings. Even though Ravindra Jadeja did not take a lot of wickets, he was just as important as he held the flow of runs and put constant pressure on English batters. Jadeja's impressive performance Jadeja relentlessly invaded the rough areas, to make survival hard for English batters. When India were inching closer towards a win and only required two wickets, he almost dismissed Brydon Carse but KL Rahul dropped a catch at slips in a manner that denied Jadeja the wicket he so richly deserved. Jadeja bowled the third delivery of the 57th over on a length outside leg stump. The ball turned sharply and Brydon Carse was taken by surprise, back-footing again in trying to make a defence. An outside edge was next when it sailed low to slip-side of KL Rahul. But alas, Rahul responded just a second too late, and wasted the chance – much to the dismay of the Indian camp. Why KL Rahul is not responsible for the dropped catch But, replay had quickly shown that KL Rahul was still adjusting the field just before Jadeja released the ball. The quick pace of over-rate of the left-arm spinner was something that even his team-mate must not have expected and thus the hastiness of the same which thus led to the dropped catch. KL Rahul could be observed gesturing to one of the fielder on legside asking him to come closer to avert a single. By doing that, he lost focus momentarily; at the same time Jadeja was hurling himself in to deliver the ball; all this helped make him late to react and the catch was missed. 'KL Rahul was actually managing the field, and Jadeja just took off. Jadeja is sometimes too quick for the batter. This time, too quick for the fielder. I think that expression says it all,' said Raunak Kapoor on air for JioHotstar.

Buy or sell: Vaishali Parekh recommends three stocks to buy today despite Trump's tariffs uncertainty
Buy or sell stocks: Amid escalating Trump's tariff uncertainty, the Indian stock market continued to trade in a narrow range on Monday. The Nifty 50 index finished marginally higher at 25,461, the BSE Sensex added 9 points and closed at 83,442, while the Bank Nifty index went off 82 points and closed at 56,949. Leading the charge among the top performers on the Nifty were Hind Unilever, Tata Consumer and Nestle, showcasing resilience. Conversely, BEL, Tech Mahindra, and ONGC bore the brunt of selling pressure, concluding the session as major losers. Trading volumes on the NSE cash market were significantly lower, down 13% compared to yesterday, marking the lowest volume since March 17, 2025, indicating a continuation of moderated activity. The Nifty Midcap and Smallcap Indices witnessed profit booking to end the day with minor losses. The Nifty Midcap 100 Index fell by 0.27%, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 Index fell by 0.44%. Market breadth turned negative, with declining stocks outpacing advancing ones, as indicated by a BSE advance-decline ratio of 0.72. Amongst the sectoral Indices, Nifty FMCG, OIL/Gas, and Realty were major gainers, while Nifty Media, IT, and Metal were major losers. Vaishali Parekh, Vice President of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, believes the Indian stock market mood may remain positive as the Nifty 50 index continues to sustain above the crucial 25,300 to 25,250 support levels. However, the Prabhudas Lilladher expert advised investors to remain vigilant about the developments surrounding Trump's tariffs. Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Vaishali Parekh said, "The Nifty 50 index continue to remain sluggish for another session witnessing consolidation with a very narrow range bound movement during the intraday session to end on a flat note with bias and sentiment sustained, having the important near-term support positioned near 25,250-25,300 zone. As mentioned earlier, we can expect a revival on the upside and carry on with the positive move for higher targets of 25700 and 26200 levels once a decisive breach above the 25650 zone is confirmed." "The Bank Nifty index witnessed some volatility in the initial half, finding resistance near the 57,150 zone and slipping down to remain rangebound and ended the session almost on a flat note, just below the 57,000 zone with bias maintained intact and formation on a higher bottom pattern visible on the daily chart. As mentioned earlier, the index continues to have the 56,000 zone as the important support, which needs to be sustained as of now. Once a decisive breach above the resistance level of 57,600 is breached, one can expect fresh targets of 58,500 and 60,000 levels in the coming days," said Parekh. Parekh said that today, the Nifty's immediate support is at 25,300, while the resistance is at 25,600. The Bank Nifty would have a daily range of 56,500-57,600. Regarding stocks to buy today, Vaishali Parekh recommended these three intraday stocks to buy-or-sell: RattanIndia Power, Emami, and DB Realty. 1] RattanIndia Power: Buy at ₹ 15.92, Target ₹ 18, Stop Loss ₹ 15; 2] Emami: Buy at ₹ 576, Target ₹ 600, Stop Loss ₹ 564; and 3] DB Realty: Buy at ₹ 235.30, Target ₹ 246, Stop Loss ₹ 230.
