Chennai Super Kings strangled the Delhi Daredevils run chase and won the match by 18 runs here in Johannesburg on Saturday. Valiant fifties from opener David Warner and wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik could not bring the victory home for the Delhi side. Left arm spinner Shadab Jakati grabbed four wickets and was declared the man of the match, on a helpful Wanderers wicket. The Delhi innings finished off at 145 runs in the full quota of overs for the loss of eight wickets.
Needing 164 runs to win the match the Delhi Daredevils, in the absence of Virender Sehwag, started their innings on the wrong foot as stand-in Captain Gautam Gambhir was dismissed for 13 runs, Suresh Raina taking a one -handed blinder at backward point. In the very next ball speedster Sudeep Tyagi bowled a peach of a delivery to get rid of the dangerous AB De Villiers for a golden duck. The in-form Dilshan was foxed by a turning delivery from left arm spinner Shadab Jakati. The Sri Lankan scored could add just 13 runs to his individual score. While wickets fell from one end, David Warner continued the fireworks from the other side. The Australian hit boundaries at will, and brought up his 50 in just 38 balls. Hi maiden IPL fifty was replete with shots over and across the fence. Together with Dinesh Karthik the duo brought up a fifty-run partnership between them.
The duo however could not continue their good work. First Warner was sensationally stumped by Dhoni off the bowling of Jakati. The short but stout Aussie scored 51 runs. Jakati made a pivotal breakthrough once again when Karthik holed out in the deep for 52 runs. Muthiah Murlitharan gleefully accepted the catch. With both the star performers out of the picture, the Delhi innings tottered at 132 runs for the loss of six wickets. Jakati and Murli played a vital part in staving off the Warner-Karthik challenge.
Earlier Delhi won the toss and decided to field first. M. Vijay was the first casualty for the Superkings as he fell for 14 runs. Ashish Nehra making the first strike for the Daredevils. Hayden continued to smash the Delhi bowling to all corners of the Wanderers Stadium. His aggressive intent was culled by Pradeep Sangwan, who got rid of him for 30 runs. Suresh Raina and S Badrinath carried on for the Chennai Superkings and made 32 and 45 runs respectively. Both of them fell to the bowling of Rajat Bhatia. Albie Morkel, MS Dhoni and Jacob Oram failed to prop up the middle-order and the kings were 144 for the loss of seven wickets when the Captain fell to a Dirk Nannes delivery. Nannes claimed three wickets in the game, along with Nehra who also snaffled three wickets. The Superkings innings folded with 163 runs on the board.

Anupam Kher said he will stage plays to raise money for a trust that will launch welfare schemes for the displaced Kashmiri Pandits living in camps in Jammu. He said that the living conditions in the camps were “pathetic”.
Kher was in Jammu in connection with the third world conference of Kashmiri Pandits. He met several representatives of the community that fled the Kashmir Valley when militancy erupted in 1990. More than 350,000 people fled their homes and sought safety and shelter in Hindu-dominated areas within Jammu and Kashmir and elsewhere. There are still four camps outside Jammu where nearly 180,000 people live.
Kher said that the community leaders have decided to set up the trust which will launch welfare schemes in the camps.
“I will begin arranging funding for the trust by staging plays. I will stage play in Jammu and the money raised will be given to the trust,” he said. “Thereafter, more means would be devised to get funds for the trust.” The trust will work to improve hygiene conditions in the camps and provide separate bathrooms for women, presently using community toilets, he said.
“Then on, we will look at the larger issues confronting the community,” Kher told reporters.
After eight years of being in front of the camera, Bipasha Basu says she has begun to understand the technical aspects of filmmaking. She is aiming to direct a film and says she will be “fantastic” from behind the camera.
“I’ve learnt on the job. I now understand script, character, choreography and camera angles. So I guess I do see myself directing a film because I know I’ll be fantastic with things from behind the camera.”
Nowadays, I take a lot of interest in the way I look. I’ve become conscious of what suits me. I won’t do anything that I don’t follow or don’t feel comfortable in. Fortunately, we’ve such capable choreographers. They know I’m not a professional dancer. So they give me movements that are fun, more me,” said Bipasha for whom styling has become crucial.
“I’ve extra-long limbs. So I need steps that don’t dwarf the other dancers. I understand all that now. For one of the songs in ‘Aa Dekhe Zara’ I went for very -Afro-American look. It was the look that I thought suited the situation. My other song was very funky and flamboyant. I want to create variety and excitement for myself. It’s the only way I can keep audiences interested,” she added.
Bipasha has given hits like ‘Aankhen’, ‘Jism’, ‘No Entry’, ‘Corporate’, ‘Dhoom 2′, ‘Race’ and ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’.
