Delhi LG unveils restored Roshanara Club, calls it big moment for Delhiites
New Delhi, Jul 27 (PTI) Delhi Lt Governor VK Saxena on Sunday inaugurated the restored Roshanara Club, a heritage structure situated in North Delhi and regarded as the birthplace of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Spread across 22 acres, Roshanara Club has been a symbol of culture, sport, and heritage for over a century. 'It is a big moment for us as this heritage club has been restored and relaunched. I congratulate the citizens of Delhi on this occasion," Saxena said at the event. He added that several heritage structures in Delhi have been restored in the past three years, with more planned in the future. During his visit to the club on January 12, 2023, the Lt Governor found the once-prestigious institution in a state of serious neglect, with a crumbling facade and damaged infrastructure. 'The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) officially took over the sealed premises on September 29, 2023, and launched an extensive restoration drive under Saxena's continuous guidance," a statement said. The project aimed not only to restore the architectural beauty of the club but also to modernize it to meet contemporary recreational and fitness needs. 'The club's iconic features, including its European-style doors and windows, Mangalore-tiled roof, antique chandeliers, and wooden trusses, were carefully preserved. In addition, the club now houses a wide range of modern indoor facilities such as a lounge, dining hall, kids' play area, gym, card and billiards rooms, yoga and sauna areas, and a library," the DDA said said in the statement. Upgraded outdoor amenities include grass, clay, and synthetic tennis courts, cricket practice pitches, a mini football zone, basketball courts, and a dedicated jogger's park. With its restoration complete, Roshanara Club is once again poised to be a premier hub for sports, leisure, and cultural heritage in the capital.

One hour of Ben Stokes in Manchester: One shoulder, one spell, one statement
England captain Ben Stokes (AP) in Manchester: 8-2-11-1. Forty-eight eventful deliveries, one big wicket of KL Rahul, and almost the dismissal of Shubman Gill, Enland captain Ben Stokes on Sunday put on a spectacle, not just another show, at Old Trafford on an overcast Day 5 morning of the Manchester Test. He constantly rubbed his shoulder, clutched his hamstring, felt stiffness in the bicep of his bowling arm, and grimaced in pain every over, yet kept charging in during what turned out to be a gripping passage of play. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Operating from the Sir James Anderson End, Stokes—who brought himself on in the second over of the day—immediately identified the variable zone and relentlessly targeted it from wide of the crease. The angle and the tricks offered by the pitch made life difficult for the overnight pair of Rahul and Gill. Some deliveries kept alarmingly low, while others reared awkwardly off a good length. The right-handers struggled to deal with the angle and two-paced bounce, which ultimately led to Rahul's dismissal. The ball jagged back sharply after pitching, and the low bounce trapped Rahul plumb in front. Stokes was elated, forgetting all his niggles in that moment. He leapt in celebration but held back slightly, letting out a restrained fist pump. With spring in his stride, the England captain wasn't ready to ease off. He could sense another wicket coming with the pressure he was building. India looked tentative—Gill had already survived a close chance and taken a painful blow to his right thumb. After Rahul's exit, Gill was the big fish, and Stokes was determined to remove him. So much so that he bowled an eight-over spell before handing over to the pacers armed with the second new ball. Before Day 5, there had been many questions surrounding whether Stokes would bowl at all. But he seemed locked in, ready to give it everything. That spirited spell not only broke a stubborn partnership but also kept Jofra Archer, Chris Woakes, and Brydon Carse fresh for a later burst with the new ball. Considering his already immense workload in the series—including a five-wicket haul and a century at Lord's, followed by two days of bed rest—Stokes had to dig deep into his reserves for that effort. Across five days, he barely left the field, constantly challenging the opposition with bat and ball. His intensity never dropped. At a time when player workload is a trending concern, Stokes has seemingly erased the word from his vocabulary. In this ongoing battle of I vs Me vs India, Ben Stokes remains the real winner.

England vs India: Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Washington Sundar vs Ben Stokes & Co – the story of a riveting first session on Day 5
KL Rahul and Shubman Gill lie on white beach towels on the Old Trafford turf, stretching their limbs for what they expect to be a long day ahead. As if they needed reminding, an early bird Indian fan from the empty stands lets out a shout that is unsolicited advice – 'Poore din khelna hai (Have to play the whole day)'. They don't even turn back, but move on to face a few throw-downs from the trainers. Soon they are at the crease to play what is being called the crucial couple of hours that would decide the Test and the series. This first session was to determine the outcome of the match and series. India would lose Rahul in the first half hour of the first session and Gill in the last before lunch. But it was an intriguing session of ups and downs. There were plots, sub-plots, tactics, counter-tactics. There were aches, pains and heart-breaks too. 11 am: (India – 174/2 in 63 overs, trailing by 137 runs) The talk about Ben Stokes nursing a hamstring injury and not being able to bowl on the final day was either a rumour or the England skipper pulling a Novak Djokovic on the world. Stokes didn't bowl on Saturday but on the fifth morning was a different beast. After left-arm spinner Liam Dawson bowled an over, he was taking off his woollens and cap and would bowl the most challenging over of the innings. This wasn't going to be an easy morning for Rahul and Gill. Stokes is sticking to the plain vanilla fifth-day bowling plan – aim for the stumps and leave it to the wear and tear of the pitch to change the trajectory of the ball. He is bowling from the old pavilion end with a few patches of dirty rough outside the right-hander's off-stump. Gill pokes at one ball and misses. He goes for a walk towards square-leg for atonement. Soon, he has to bring his bat hastily down as a Stokes ball keeps terribly low. Another walk to square-leg to take his mind off this wicked surface. He tries to hit straight but can't reach the boundary line. Finally, it is a Stokes ball on the legs that gets Gill, and India, the day's first four. At the other end, Rahul is facing Dawson – the busy-looking spinner who computers say is getting much more drift and turn than he did on Saturday. Stokes has surrounded Rahul with fielders, there is pressure on him. The opener sweeps and misses, the ball passes close to the bat. England think he is caught behind, DRS shows Rahul isn't. No reviews left for England, they have exhausted their quota. After bowling his menacing overs, Stokes keeps feeling his shoulder blade. He seems to be in trouble but only when he is not bowling. With an alleged dodgy shoulder and suspected hamstring strain, the England captain's dependence on the pitch to get wickets works. Rahul is beaten by a nip-backer that stays low. He starts walking even before the umpire raises his finger. He and Gill were together for close to 70 overs, they were supposed to take India home. Indians prayed they would stay on the pitch all day. The partnership was broken in the first half an hour. 11.30: India – 188/3, 71 overs, trailing by 123 runs The Gill vs Stokes battle is getting intense. The captains aren't giving up. The end from which Stokes is bowling is getting dangerous for right-handers – the rough outside off is getting diabolical. Stokes is bending his back, he knows England now have an opportunity to end this quickly. He virtually takes Gill out with a ball that climbs on him out of nowhere. The ball hits the Indian captain's fingers and ricochets to the side of the head. Such is the power of the blow that Gill almost tumbles on the stumps. He gathers himself and stays on his feet only to realise the pain of his injured fingers. He throws away the gloves, shakes his hand vigorously. The physio runs in to attend to him, the captain is now batting with a bandage. India's injury list keeps getting longer. Making. Things. Happen. Ben Stokes gets one to jag back, stay low and KL Rahul is gone for 90. 🇮🇳 1️⃣8️⃣8️⃣-3️⃣ — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 27, 2025 It's not easy out there. Survival is getting difficult and Stokes, despite his aches and pains, is ready to put his foot on India's throat. After the ball that flew off the pitch and threw up a puff of dust, another one keeps low. Gill just about keeps it out of the stumps. Stokes is now feeling his glutes, lower back and, of course, his shoulder blade. But he is trying to get a grip on the game and Dawson from the other end is keeping things tight. It's all working for England. 12:00: India – 193/3 in 76 overs, trailing by 118 runs Gill and Washington Sundar come up with a plan to negotiate the England bowlers and the dirt-patches on the pitch. So the left-hander Washington takes on Stokes as the channel outside his off-stump is fairly true. The bounce from that part of the pitch is more predictable. It works for a while but rotating strike comes with its own set of problems. Gill refuses a single, there is almost a mix-up between the two. 𝙒𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙗𝙮 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚, #ShubmanGill crafted a heroic century to keep Indian's momentum going! 🔥#ENGvIND 👉 4th TEST, DAY 5 | LIVE NOW on JioHotstar 👉 — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) July 27, 2025 Challenge No.2 awaits India, the new ball is due. At 12.20, Chris Woakes is ready to have another go with the shining cherry. Ironically, Gill, the No.4, for the second time in this innings, is facing Woakes's first over. Washington almost edges the third ball to slip, just like Jaiswal had done. The Indian section of the crowd cheers wildly as Gill hits Archer's first ball, a long hop, for four. He's in his 90s. Soon Old Trafford stands, the Indian captain raises his bat to reach his 100, kisses his bat and looks to the sky. The celebration is short, there's a lot to do. 12:30: India – 206/3 in 83 overs, trailing by 105 Archer has settled now, is hitting the right spots and getting swing too. He is constantly testing Gill with in-swingers. Gill is playing this smartly, tracing the ball, moving with it and presenting a dead bat. There is chat among experts that the Dukes ball starts talking after a few overs. Washington is growing confident, he is knocking the ball around. He scores three straight 3s, the scoreboard is ticking. Jofra Archer gets the BIG wicket of Shubman Gill 👊 India four down! 🇮🇳 2️⃣2️⃣3️⃣-4️⃣ — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 27, 2025 And when it was thought India was recovering and a classic Test was unfolding, Gill has a misjudgement. Expecting that Archer would keep bringing the ball into him, he is foxed by a ball that went straight. He followed the ball, edged it and was caught behind. Across Old Trafford, hope died. 'It is just a matter of time,' Ben Duckett could be heard saying from the stump mike. It sounded true. 1:00 (Lunch) – 223/4 in 89 overs, trailing by 68
