Sarkar steals the show yet again for Singams

Image
Sarkar steals the show yet again for Singams It was a case of left-hand drive when it came to the Chennai Singams’ eighth league tie in the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) Season 2. Opener Jagat Sarkar returned to form with a bang while new-ball bowler Jignesh Patel starred with the ball during the Singams’ clash against Srinagar Ke Veer on Thursday. Sarkar’s serious six-hitting (45, 19b, 1x4, 4x6) meant the Chennai Singams put on a 108 for six in its allotted quota of 10 overs at the Dadoji Konddev Stadium in Thane. Patel then starred with two wickets to stretch the match into the very last over. Veer’s opener Sagar Ali then smashed a six and a four to snatch the victory away from Singams with only four balls to spare. The unfortunate result notwithstanding, the Singams remained in the fourth position in the points table, with two more league games yet to be played. In-form Ketan Mhatre started the night game on a perfect note, sending Suvronil Roy packing over long-off for a huge...

Captain Dhekale stars for Singams in Game 7

Image
  Captain Dhekale stars for Singams in Game 7 Captain Sumeet Dhekale’s pyrotechnics helped Chennai Singams set a respectable total. But the Bangalore Strikers openers Ajaz Bepari and Saroj Pramanik took a cue from the in-form Singams’ opening combination to overhaul the target without much fuss in the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) Season 2. Despite the defeat, with Strikers overhauling a target of 88 in the eighth over at the Dadoji Konddev Stadium in Thane, the Singams maintained its third position in the points table. For the Men in Yellow, though, it was an evening that will be remembered for Dhekale’s dashing knock of unbeaten 40 (25b, 4x6). For a change, the opening combination for the Singams failed to fire, thus pegging the team back. Jagat Sarkar was caught in the slips off the second ball of Farman Khan’s opening over. Prashant Gharat then smashed consecutive fours off Irfan Patel in the next over before perishing soon afterwards. At 19 for two, Dhekale took guard wi...

Zeeshan and Mhatre star as Chennai Singams avenge loss against Falcon Risers Hyderabad A solid bowling performance from Mohammad Zeeshan (3/13) and a swashbuckling cameo from opener Ketan Mhatre helped the Chennai Singams thump second-placed Falcon Risers Hyderabad in the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) Season 2 on Tuesday. Having suffered two back-to-back losses, Singams required a big win to stay in title hunt and they delivered when it mattered. And they responded with a win by seven wickets and with 17 balls to spare. Singams opted to bowl after winning the toss and had an ideal start, picking two wickets in the very first over. The Hyderabad outfit tried to rebuild but Zeeshan sent back Shreyash Kadam and Sambhaji Patil in the 50-50 over to restrict them to 37 for 7 after the seventh over. Falcon Risers, who had beaten Singams in their opening match, could only manage to score 64 for 9 in their stipulated 10 overs. Chasing a modest target, Mhatre was in no mood to concede any ...

MSME  Quote on Union Budget 2025 - Nirav Choksi, CEO& Co-Founder ,CredAble & Ketan Mehta, CFO, CredAble Quote from Nirav Choksi, CEO & Co-Founder, CredAble " Overall the budget is a strong and stable one—a positive step towards India's development goals—which is the need of the hour. The credit schemes for the MSME sector and startups such as the customised credit cards and a dedicated INR 10,000 crore Fund of Funds will be critical for deepening financial inclusion. However, the focus should now shift towards simplifying access to these schemes, particularly for businesses in tier 2 and 3 cities. With the introduction of the DPI platform—Bharat Trade Net—we're seeing a proactive stance to digitalise and streamline trade financing. While the KYC registry overhaul is a great move, its successful implementation will be key.

Post-Budget Quote by Mr. Rajesh Sharma, Managing Director, Capri Global

Image
Post-Budget Quote by Mr. Rajesh Sharma, Managing Director, Capri Global The Union Budget 2025 is a pragmatic step towards sustained economic growth, consumption, and a balanced social development by focusing on middle class, youth, farmers, and women. The finance minister has given the middle-class lot more to cheer about than they expected while managing the fiscal deficit at manageable levels. The core growth engine of India – the MSME sector has been given enough thrust to improve efficiency, upgrade technological proficiency and access more growth capital by increasing their investment and turnover limits. The enhancement of credit availability with guarantee to cover export-focused MSMEs under the Export Promotion Mission, will improve their confidence to compete globally. By strengthening financial access, promoting entrepreneurship, and supporting emerging industries, this budget paves the way for sustained economic expansion and job creation.

Mhatre,Sarkar ensure Singame strike Bangalore hard Well begun is half done, it is said. The Chennai Singams openers began the Match 5 of the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) Season 2 in such a scintillating manner that the duo of Ketan Mhatre and Jaxgat Sarkar not only set up the Singams maiden win of the season but also helped their team shatter a slew of records en route. Riding on the right- and left-handed opening partnership of 62 runs off 35 balls between Mhatre and Sarkar at the Dadoji Konddev Stadium on Tuesday, Chennai Singams put on a mammoth 125 for four off its allotted quota of 10 overs.

The facile win came as a soothing balm after an unfortunate defeat in the Singams’ season-opener on Monday. More importantly, the huge margin of victory will hold the team in good stead as it improved its Net Run Rate, which may prove to be t...
