Yes, Chennai Super Kings’ recent reputation in terms of chasing big targets is not that good as they have not achieved any target above 180 since 2018.

But then again, this is Hyderabad, a ground that has featured in the top four teams with the highest scores twice IPL History. A place where Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen have time and again turned bowling attacks into cautionary tales. So, when CSK were out on Saturday, the logic was still in their favor despite their poor record of chasing targets.

SRH vs CSK, IPL 2026: highlight | Achievement:

And yet, on this night, the script broke itself.

Sunrisers Hyderabad performed impossible and won by 10 runs over CSK.. The same bowling unit that had squandered runs in the IPL opener against RCB, the same team that had once chased down a target of 202 in less than 16 overs, suddenly found discipline, control and composure when it mattered most.

Even when SRH scored 194 runs in the first, it still felt a bit underwhelming in this batting paradise. But cricket rarely respects expectations. The home team tightened the screws, halting CSK’s chase at crucial moments, and turning a comfortable closing narrative into a slow, entertaining collapse.

strong fight

When Super Kings were 66 for one in just 4.3 overs, with Ayush Mhatre hitting it as if the ball was a football, it seemed the night was fast slipping away from Sunrisers. And why wouldn’t that happen? With a required rate of 8.32, nine wickets in hand and a Hyderabad surface where 10-plus overs are almost routine, CSK looked set to cruise.

But T20 games have a way of turning stories when you least expect it.

From that position of control, CSK could only score 118 runs in the remaining 15.3 overs, crawling to 7.61 in a slow chase. While Chennai lost their way, it was SRH who forced a change in the script.

Nitish Kumar Reddy struck early to break the momentum, before Ishan Malinga scored quickly in the middle overs, turning pressure into panic. Shivang Kumar dealt a blow in his first IPL season by removing the dangerous Dewald Brevis.

And then came the squeeze.

Saqib Hussain was relentless, gave nothing to bat and stopped the chase. Shivam Dubey, Matthew Short and Jamie Overton were all kept under control as the boundaries dried up at the worst possible time. Shakib hit only one boundary in his entire spell, which included two overs, the 15th and 17th overs, without hitting a single boundary even as the asking rate reached 10 and CSK were still believing.

Even Prafulla Hinge, who was costly all night after conceding 60 runs, produced a remarkable turnaround when it mattered most, defending 18 runs in the final over and conceding only seven runs.

This Sunrisers attack may lack experience, but on this night, they bowled with heart, discipline and belief, offering a glimpse of a unit that refuses to go quietly, even if the odds were otherwise.

Plan

Sunrisers knew that the powerplay would set the stage for them and they chose discipline over drama. The brief was simple: hitting from above, no unnecessary experiments, no deviating from the plan.

Because in such moments nature can become a trap. One ill-considered change, a deviation in line or length, and the game could get out of hand. SRH stuck to their guns, resisted the urge to show off and in doing so continued to take wickets, although the Super Kings continued to score at an alarming rate.

“It was just a message from the outside – stick to the top-of-the-off length and don’t try to do too much. That’s what we did and you could see we took a few wickets in the powerplay,” Nitish Reddy said after the match.

Sunrisers may not boast a star-studded bowling attack, with Pat Cummins yet to feature this season, but cricket has rarely been about names or price tags. Above all, what it demands is impact and SRH provided that in abundance on Saturday.

A bowling unit may not look intimidating on paper, but it doesn’t have to be. It just requires execution, and SRH showed that performance is more important than reputation every time.

A win over the Super Kings will do wonders for their confidence. This has taken them into the top four, but the real test begins now – holding on to that spot as the competition heats up.

New Delhi: Medical devices used every day, from syringes and surgical sutures to implants, may soon face strict regulation, with the Center proposing strict labeling rules and a standardized testing fee system aimed at improving safety and accountability. Under the draft amendments to the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, manufacturers may be required to clearly disclose on the product label, including the license number of the facility where the devices have been sterilized. The move aims to improve traceability so that authorities can quickly identify the source in case of infection or device failure. The government has also proposed to fix testing fees across all categories. According to the draft, implantation test may cost Rs 5,000, sterility test may cost Rs 2,000 and surgical stitches may cost Rs 3,000. These charges will increase by 5% annually, while fees for tests not listed will be decided by authorized laboratories. Officials say the changes are aimed at bringing uniformity to testing and strengthening oversight in the fast-growing medical device sector, where regulation has often been characterized as uneven. However, the industry has raised concerns over feasibility and cost implications. Rajiv Nath, forum coordinator of the Association of Indian Medical Device Industry, said the proposals are a step towards strengthening quality systems, but they may need to be fine-tuned for smooth implementation. “Testing fees may not fully reflect actual laboratory costs, and if decided without consulting NABL-accredited laboratories, testing may become difficult to maintain, leading to delays. This may increase compliance costs and put some pressure on supplies and prices, especially for high-volume items like syringes and consumables.” He said, ”A risk-based approach with strict scrutiny would be more effective for high-risk devices. The sterilization labeling requirement also needs to be reviewed as it may delay exports by 3-4 weeks, the forum coordinator said.

मुजफ्फरनगर शहर के गांधी कॉलोनी क्षेत्र सहित आसपास के कई मोहल्लों में आवारा कुत्तों और बंदरों की बढ़ती संख्या ने स्थानीय निवासियों की समस्याओं को गंभीर स्तर तक बढ़ा दिया है। लगातार हो रही घटनाओं व प्रशासनिक कार्रवाई में देरी से नाराज लोगों ने जिलाधिकारी को संबोधित शिकायती पत्र सौंपकर समस्या के समाधान की मांग तेज कर दी है.

स्थानीय नागरिकों का कहना है कि स्थिति अब सामान्य असुविधा से आगे बढ़कर सुरक्षा संकट तक पहुंच गई है, जिससे इलाके में डर का माहौल बन गया है.

गांधी कॉलोनी, शिवनगर, मदनपुरी और सुभाष नगर में घटनाएं बढ़ीं।

निवासियों के मुताबिक, गांधी कॉलोनी के अलावा शिवनगर, मदनपुरी और सुभाष नगर जैसे घनी आबादी वाले इलाकों में भी आवारा कुत्तों और बंदरों की संख्या तेजी से बढ़ रही है। सुबह-शाम इनकी सक्रियता बढ़ने से लोगों को घर से निकलने में परेशानी हो रही है।

खासतौर पर बच्चों और बुजुर्गों के लिए स्थिति ज्यादा चिंताजनक बताई जा रही है, क्योंकि कई बार जानवरों के अचानक हमले की घटनाएं सामने आ चुकी हैं।

सबसे ज्यादा खतरा स्कूल और ट्यूशन जाने वाले बच्चों को है

स्थानीय अभिभावकों ने कहा कि उनकी सबसे बड़ी चिंता बच्चों की सुरक्षा को लेकर है. स्कूल और ट्यूशन के समय सड़कों पर आवारा कुत्तों के झुंड नजर आते हैं, जिससे दुर्घटना या हमले की आशंका बनी रहती है.

कई परिवारों ने बच्चों को अकेले बाहर भेजना कम कर दिया है, जिससे दैनिक जीवन की सामान्य गतिविधियाँ भी प्रभावित हो रही हैं।

कुत्तों के काटने की घटनाओं पर बढ़ रहा आक्रोश

क्षेत्रवासियों का कहना है कि हाल के दिनों में कुत्तों के काटने की कई घटनाएं सामने आई हैं, लेकिन इसके बावजूद कोई प्रभावी कार्रवाई नहीं की गई है. लगातार बढ़ती घटनाओं ने लोगों के सब्र की सीमा पार कर दी है.

नागरिकों का मानना ​​है कि यदि समय रहते नियंत्रण नहीं किया गया तो स्थिति और गंभीर हो सकती है.

इसकी शिकायत जिलाधिकारी से भी की गयी

गांधी कॉलोनी निवासी भाटिया ने बताया कि 30 मार्च 2026 को जिलाधिकारी से मिलकर इस समस्या के संबंध में विस्तृत जानकारी दी गयी थी. उस समय प्रशासन ने समाधान का आश्वासन दिया था, लेकिन अब तक कोई ठोस कदम नहीं उठाया गया.

इससे स्थानीय लोगों में लगातार असंतोष बढ़ता जा रहा है.

लक्ष्मी नारायण मंदिर के सामने विरोध प्रदर्शन किया गया

बढ़ती समस्या के विरोध में एक सप्ताह पहले स्थानीय नागरिकों ने गांधी कॉलोनी मेन रोड स्थित श्री लक्ष्मी नारायण मंदिर के सामने धरना दिया था. इस दौरान सिटी मजिस्ट्रेट ने तत्काल कार्रवाई का आश्वासन दिया था।

हालांकि, क्षेत्रवासियों का कहना है कि आश्वासन के बावजूद स्थिति में कोई सुधार नहीं हुआ है.

समस्या का समाधान न होने पर आंदोलन की चेतावनी दी

स्थानीय नागरिकों ने प्रशासन को साफ चेतावनी दी है कि अगर जल्द ही इस समस्या का स्थायी समाधान नहीं निकाला गया तो बड़े पैमाने पर आंदोलन शुरू किया जाएगा. लोगों का कहना है कि यह मुद्दा अब जनसुरक्षा से जुड़ा है और इसे नजरअंदाज नहीं किया जा सकता.

क्षेत्रवासियों की मांग है कि आवारा कुत्तों और बंदरों को पकड़ने और उनके पुनर्वास की प्रभावी व्यवस्था जल्द शुरू की जाए.

पार्षद अमित पटपटिया ने प्रशासन से तत्काल कार्रवाई की मांग की

गांधी कॉलोनी के पार्षद मो अमित पटपटिया कहा कि बंदरों और आवारा कुत्तों की समस्या से जिलाधिकारी को अवगत कराया गया है। प्रशासन ने शीघ्र समाधान का आश्वासन दिया है।

उन्होंने कहा कि जनहित को ध्यान में रखते हुए नगर निगम एवं संबंधित विभाग संयुक्त रूप से ठोस कार्रवाई करें ताकि क्षेत्र में सुरक्षित वातावरण सुनिश्चित हो सके।

स्थानीय लोगों की मांग-भयमुक्त वातावरण सुनिश्चित करे प्रशासन

क्षेत्रवासियों का कहना है कि आवारा पशुओं की समस्या अब सामान्य नागरिक सुविधा का मामला नहीं, बल्कि सुरक्षा का मुद्दा बन गई है। लोग चाहते हैं कि प्रशासन तत्काल प्रभाव से अभियान चलाकर स्थिति को नियंत्रित करे.

स्थानीय स्तर पर यह भी सुझाव दिया गया है कि संवेदनशील इलाकों में नियमित निगरानी और विशेष धरपकड़ अभियान शुरू किया जाए.
