India defeated China 1-0 in a fiercely contested final held here on Wednesday to win the Women’s Asian Champions Trophy 2024 title. The hosts valiantly preserved their lead to win the championship for the second time in a row, and Deepika’s key backhand goal in the third quarter proved to be the difference.

India has now won the Women’s Asian Champions Trophy three times in a row, making them the competition’s most successful team alongside South Korea. The Indian women’s team won their second title in Ranchi in 2023 after their first success in Singapore in 2016. They now triumphed in Rajgir on Wednesday. India won bronze in 2010 and two silver medals in 2013 and 2018.

Both teams traded blows in the first half of Wednesday’s encounter, but India picked up the pace in the second half, and Deepika’s goal in the 31st minute guaranteed that India would win the Asian Champions Trophy again.

In response to the Indian women’s hockey team’s victory, Hockey India stated that all players would receive ₹3 lakh, and all support staff would receive ₹1.5 lakh.

“A phenomenal accomplishment! Congratulations to our hockey team on winning the Women’s Asian Champions Trophy. They played exceptionally well through the tournament. Their success will motivate many upcoming athletes,” PM Modi posted on X.

For the first time in the competition’s history, the Asian Hockey Federation (AHF) added a prize for podium finishers to this moment. China and Japan will earn USD 7,000 and USD 5,000, respectively, while India will receive a large USD 10,000 cash incentive.

As the game started in the final, both teams fought hard for every square inch of ground, exchanging circle entries without managing to get any shots on goal. For the majority of the quarter, neither team was able to find the last touch in a fierce, end-to-end contest.

India put together a string of deft passes in the last few minutes of the quarter to reach inside the shooting circle. But the Chinese defense held firm, closely lining up the forwards and obstructing any obvious goal scoring opportunities, and the first quarter ended goalless.

Silver medallist China at the Paris Olympic Games got the initiative and scored a penalty corner two minutes into the second quarter, but Bichu Devi showed off her cat-like reflexes by jumping high to save a close-range shot from Jinzhuang Tan.

In the very next minute, India reacted by earning a penalty corner, but Chinese goalkeeper Surong Wu made a fantastic save on Deepika’s drag flick. Despite exchanging another round of penalty corners, neither team was able to score. With neither side prepared to concede an inch, the game remained a fierce, end-to-end struggle. Consequently, the score remained locked at 0-0 at the completion of the first half.

After a missed trap, Navneet passed to Deepika on the left wing of the circle, who made a terrifying reverse shot that struck the bottom right corner of the goal to give India the lead in the second half. This gave India another penalty corner seconds later.

India pushed higher and pinned China back into their own half as they looked for a second goal. China started moving the ball along the backline to take control with three minutes remaining in the quarter, but India regained the ball and put Deepika on a counter. After being fouled, she stepped up to attempt a penalty shot, but Ting Li stopped her low attempt to keep China in the match.

China shown more commitment as the last quarter got underway, moving forward with tenacity. Surong Wu in goal easily kicked away Sushila’s strike, but India swiftly reclaimed control, pushing China back and collecting a penalty corner within two minutes.

After that, China came together and stepped up their efforts to level the playing field, but the Indian defense held firm, essentially blocking all of China’s offensive routes. India ultimately won a grueling 1-0 match thanks to their outstanding defense, which guaranteed them their third Asian Champions Trophy crown.

Japan won the bronze medal in the competition after defeating Malaysia 4-1 in the playoffs after losing to India 2-0 in the semifinals.

Kerala all-rounder Jalaj Saxena became the first player in Ranji Trophy history to score 6000 runs and take 400 wickets during an Elite Group C fourth-round encounter against Uttar Pradesh at St Xavier’s College Ground.

Saxena, who had scored 6000 runs in Kerala’s previous match in Kolkata, achieved the milestone after dismissing left-hander Nitish Rana with a brilliant off-spin delivery that left Rana stumped.

The 37-year-old is the 13th bowler in Ranji Trophy history to reach 400 wickets. His 400th wicket also represented his 29th five-wicket haul in the Ranji Trophy.

Saxena began his First-Class career in 2005 with Madhya Pradesh, where he took 159 wickets and scored 4041 runs over 11 years.

He moved to Kerala during the 2016-17 season and has since become the team’s second-highest wicket-taker in First-Class cricket, trailing only KN Ananthapadmanabhan.

Last season, Saxena became only the fourth player in Indian domestic cricket history to score 9000 runs and 600 wickets in all formats, after Vinoo Mankad, Madan Lal, and Parvez Rasool.

In the Ranji Trophy alone, his record is unrivaled among active all-rounders, placing him alongside Indian legends like as Vijay Hazare, Madan Lal, and Sunil Joshi.

“We made history,” Donald Trump proclaimed after winning the presidential election and overcoming all odds.

“This will be America’s golden age. That is why this is a fantastic victory for the American people, allowing us to make America great again,” he stated at his campaign headquarters in West Palm Beach.

The Fox News Decision Desk, which analyzes incoming counting data, pronounced Trump the winner, while the other media outlets were waiting to formally declare victory, as their data showed him on the verge of winning.
Trump said that he will receive at least 315 electoral college votes after winning four swing states and leading in three others.

He claimed that he was also gaining popular votes and also told, the Senate had returned to Republican control, and the party was on track to keep control of the House of Representatives.

The media has assigned 51 seats in the 100-member Senate, with seven results expected.

A happy Trump, backed by his family and running mate JD Vance and his wife, entered the stage to chants of “USA, USA” from his supporters.

Meanwhile, the venue for Vice President Kamala Harris’ victory celebration at Howard University in Washington closed at 1:30 a.m., and her team claimed that she had gone home and would speak later that morning.

“America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate” , Trump commented.

Following a contentious presidential campaign, Trump declared, “We’re going to help our country heal”.

He made no mention of Harris, President Joe Biden, or any Democrat, whom he had verbally thrashed during his address, extending an olive branch or continuing the attacks.

Trump promised his supporters: “I will fight for you, your family, and your future.” Every day, I will fight for you with every breath in my body.”

Trump listed his achievements, stating, “We also won the popular vote. That was great. It was really gratifying to win the popular vote. I’ll tell you about a wonderful feeling of love.”

“We have taken back control of the Senate” , the politician stated. “It also looks like we’ll be keeping control of the House of Representatives” .

“We have a country that desperately needs support. We are going to fix our borders. “We’re going to fix everything in our country,” he declared.

Illegal migration was a key topic in the election, and Trump has pledged to deport illegal migrants if elected.

“We’re going to have to seal up those borders,” he stated, adding, “We want people to come back…” We have to let them back in, but only lawfully.”

Trump praised his running mate, J.D. Vance, as well as his wife and family.

“He’s shown to be a terrific option. I took some heat at first, but I knew he had a good brain, about as good as it gets,” he remarked. “And we cherish our family… “We’re going to have a great four years,” he stated.

Vance described their victory as “the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America”.

“We’re going to lead the greatest economic comeback in American history under Donald Trump’s leadership” , he commented.

Pawan Kalyan, Andhra Pradesh’s Deputy Chief Minister, has purchased another 12 acres of land in Pithapuram, his Assembly constituency in Kakinada district.

Tota Sudheer, Chairman of the State Civil Supplies Corporation, completed the registration process for Pawan Kalyan’s land in Illindrada on Tuesday.

This is the Jana Sena leader’s third land purchase in the constituency since becoming Deputy Chief Minister following the Telugu Desam Party-led National Democratic Alliance’s victory in June.

In July, the actor-turned-politician purchased two parcels of land totaling 1.44 acres and 2.08 acres in the Bhogapuram and Illindrada revenue limits, respectively.

With this recent purchase, Pawan Kalyan now owns 15.52 acres in the constituency.

The Jana Sena leader intends to erect a residence and camp office on the 12 acres purchased on Tuesday. During the election campaign, he promised that if elected, he would build a house in his constituency.

In an apparent attempt to rebut his political rivals’ accusations that he was an outsider for the seat, Pawan Kalyan promised to live in the town to be closer to the people and fight for their development.

The actor defeated YSR Congress Party nominee and former MP Vanga Geetha by more than 70,000 votes to win his first election.

In the May 2024 elections, the Jana Sena won all 21 Assembly and two Lok Sabha seats.

During a previous visit to the constituency, Pawan Kalyan stated that he would abstain from film shoots for three months. He added that if possible, he would dedicate one or two days to film shoots.

The Deputy Chief Minister stated that the people of Pithapuram had given him the strength to have a voice in national politics.

He had also indicated that, given the state’s difficult financial situation, he would not accept his salary or any extra allowances, including new office furnishings.

On the work front, Ranveer Singh’s flick ‘Singham Again’ opened in theaters on November 1. Ranveer Singh reprises his role as Simba in the film, assisting Singham in his fight against the villain Arjun Kapoor.

Deepika Padukone also appears briefly in ‘Singham Again’ as Shakti Shetty. Her dialogue in the teaser ‘Main Singham nahi, Lady Singham Hai’ has already piqued everyone’s interest. Ranveer Singh recently stated at a press conference that his baby has already made a debut, as Deepika filmed for ‘Singham Again’ while pregnant.

Deepika previously appeared in ‘Kalki’ and ‘Fighter’. While ‘Kalki’ did well, ‘Fighter’ did not match the makers’ hopes. While nothing is definite, according to several sources, Deepika will next appear in the film ‘The Intern’.
