Mumbai: is a great captain ms dhoni And England’s star all-rounder will jacks Are you ready to return to action in the big Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings clash at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday night? After several days of anticipation, it may happen. Dhoni Took intensive training at CSK nets at Wankhede on Tuesday night. Notably, he kept wickets for about half an hour and also batted for about 30 minutes. The 44-year-old, who suffered a calf strain during the pre-season camp, was seen striking the ball fluently without any trouble. However, Dhoni was earlier practicing with the CSK team in Chennai. CSK is currently placed eighth in the IPL 2026 points table with two wins and four losses. His potential return will add valuable depth to their batting. Meanwhile, Jacques has finally arrived in India after missing MI’s first six matches. The England star, who was the standout performer at the 2026 T20 World Cup with four Player of the Match awards, trained in MI’s nets at the Wankhede between 5pm and 6pm on Monday, and also took part in an optional practice session under lights on Tuesday. The 27-year-old off-spinner bowled in the nets and batted for almost an hour. His arrival is a big boost for MI, whose campaign picked up momentum after an impressive 99-run win over Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Monday night. Jack’s arrival was delayed due to unknown reasons, with the MI management avoiding giving details about his absence during the first three weeks of IPL 2026. His appearance was eagerly awaited by both the management and the fans. As a powerful middle-order batsman and a capable spinner, Jack strengthens both departments for MI. His inclusion may force the team to drop one of its overseas spinners – Allah Ghazanfar or Mitchell Santner. Having delivered several useful cameos at No. 6 and 7 for England during the T20 World Cup, Jacques also provides MI with a reliable finishing option. Spencer Johnson joins CSK team In another boost for CSK, Australian fast bowler Spencer Johnson, signed as a replacement for Nathan Ellis, joined the squad in Mumbai on Tuesday ahead of the marquee clash. The left-arm fast bowler trained with the team at the Wankhede and is expected to be included in the playing eleven on Thursday night, possibly replacing Khaleel Ahmed, who was sidelined with injury last week. After a slow start, injuries have significantly affected CSK’s campaign. In their previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, young batsman Ayush Mhatre suffered a hamstring injury, ruling him out of the remaining matches of IPL 2026.

Addressing German parliamentarians in Berlin, -Rajnath Singh “Atmanirbhar Bharat is not just a procurement programme, it is an invitation to co-creation, co-development and co-innovation”, he said in a call to industry on Tuesday.On reaching Germany, Rajnath was welcomed with military honors at the Berlin airport. During the flight from Munich to Berlin he was flown in a special aircraft of the German Air Force, protected by fighter jets. During his three-day visit, Rajnath is set to hold talks with his German counterpart Boris Pistorius and other senior leaders.Addressing the German Parliamentary Standing Committee, Rajnath strongly pitched for increased cooperation between the defense industrial ecosystem of the two countries. He stressed that “Today the world faces new security threats, and technological change has made the situation increasingly complex and complicated. A new approach with a willingness to adapt to the changing environment is the need of the hour.”Pointing out that India is witnessing unprecedented transformation in the defense sector, he said enhanced partnership with German industry can yield significant mutual benefits. “We recognize the established strengths of Germany’s leading industrial enterprises, while also admiring the strength and dynamism of the renowned German Mittelstand (small and medium-sized companies) in advanced and emerging technologies. In India too, our start-ups and entrepreneurial private companies are rapidly expanding and complementing the capabilities of our large and established defense enterprises.

The scope of their consequences is global, he said, describing them as not local disturbances, but serious developments with far-reaching implications for energy security, food security and global economic stability, in addition to enormous humanitarian costs.

रामनगरी अयोध्या स्थित राम की पैड़ी एक बार फिर विवादों में घिर गई है. यहां देर रात एक ऐसा मामला सामने आया, जिससे स्थानीय संत समाज नाराज हो गया. आरोप है कि घाट पर निर्माण कार्य में लगे मजदूरों द्वारा मांस-मछली बनाकर खाया जा रहा था. यह घटना लक्ष्मण घाट चौकी के पास की बताई जा रही है, जहां पुलिस की मौजूदगी के बावजूद ऐसी गतिविधियां चल रही थीं. संतों का कहना है कि यह रामनगरी की मर्यादाओं के विपरीत है और इससे धार्मिक भावनाएं आहत हुई हैं.

रंगे हाथ पकड़े गए कर्मचारी
जानकारी के मुताबिक, स्थानीय संतों को कई दिनों से शिकायत मिल रही थी कि राम की पैड़ी के आसपास मांस, मछली और शराब का सेवन किया जा रहा है. इसके चलते देर रात संत समाज के लोग मौके पर पहुंच गए। वहां उन्होंने निर्माण श्रमिकों और उनके परिवारों को मछली पकाते और खाते हुए रंगे हाथों पकड़ा। बताया जा रहा है कि ये सब सरयू नदी के किनारे बने अस्थायी घरों में हो रहा था. मौके से हड्डियां भी मिलीं और संतों ने इसका वीडियो भी बनाया.

इसे रामनगरी की परंपराओं के खिलाफ बताया
संत समाज का कहना है कि अयोध्या में खासकर राम की पैड़ी जैसे धार्मिक स्थल पर मांस, मछली और अंडे का सेवन पूरी तरह से प्रतिबंधित है. ऐसे में इस तरह की घटनाएं न सिर्फ नियमों का उल्लंघन है बल्कि धार्मिक परंपराओं का भी अपमान है. संतों ने इसे अनैतिक कार्य बताते हुए कड़ी नाराजगी जताई है।

चौकी प्रभारी पर लापरवाही का आरोप
इस पूरे मामले में लक्ष्मण घाट चौकी प्रभारी रोहित पांडे पर लापरवाही का आरोप लगा है. संतों का कहना है कि ये सब चौकी के पास हो रहा था, लेकिन पुलिस को इसकी भनक नहीं लगी या उन्होंने ध्यान नहीं दिया. इससे प्रशासन की कार्यशैली पर सवाल उठ रहे हैं.

संत समाज शिकायत करेगा
बताया जा रहा है कि इससे पहले भी दिल्ली में आयोजित कार्यक्रम के दौरान संतों ने अयोध्या की व्यवस्थाओं और राम की पैड़ी में हो रही अनियमितताओं को लेकर आवाज उठाई थी, लेकिन इसके बावजूद कोई ठोस कार्रवाई नहीं की गई. अब इस नई घटना के बाद संत समाज ने मुख्यमंत्री से शिकायत करने का फैसला किया है. उनका कहना है कि पवित्र स्थान मानी जाने वाली राम की पैड़ी को गलत गतिविधियों का अड्डा नहीं बनने दिया जाएगा.
