00:00All right, we have some news just coming in and this has got to do with the controversy over Rohit Sharma
00:06He's clearly proving body shamers wrong BJP mocks Congress after India's
00:11win at the Champions Trophy
00:13BJP post Rohit Sharma's pic says
00:17Unfit
00:18Samjha kya. BJP says Rohit's performance roared loud
00:23Congress trolls have gone into hiding says the Bharatiya Janata Party
00:30I
00:38Love it
00:40Fire
00:46Pushpa noms in ke flower Sanjay kya flower may fire
00:56Pushpa noms in ke flower Sanjay kya
01:00flower may
01:02Fire
01:09I'm going to go straight across to Piyush for more details on that Piyush
01:12Given the kind of war that had erupted between the BJP and the Congress just before the semi-finals as well
01:18This response was but expected, isn't it?
01:30Piyush if you can hear me
01:31I was asking you about the kind of reaction that is coming from the BJP rather
01:35Expected that they would go after the Congress after the kind of victory that we've seen
01:44Okay, we'll disconnect with Piyush in a moment from now
01:46But remember politics continues in this entire matter with the BJP now criticizing the Congress party putting out that video
01:53Remember this comes at a time when very recently just before the semi-finals
01:58Shama Mohammed of the Congress Party had in fact said that Rohit Sharma was unfit. In fact
02:04Piyush is back with us for the very latest on that that video being put out by the BJP now mocking the Congress Piyush
02:24Though when this entire controversy had broken out, the Congress Party had distanced itself from Shama Mohammed's statement
02:31In fact, one Khera Chief Spokesperson of the Congress Party has said that the Congress Party respects all sports persons
02:38And he has also made it very clear that he has advised Shama Mohammed to delete that tweet
02:44But the controversy is not dying down. The BJP after India has achieved a tremendous victory in the census
02:52Now the BJP is mocking Congress Party for making such comments against Captain Rohit Sharma
02:59Remember that not only BJP, there are many other political parties who are attacking the Congress Party
03:05But this time Shama Mohammed has not spoken out anything even after other Indian cricket team achieved a tremendous victory
03:12Though she released a statement congratulating Indian cricket team, but she did not make any comments on the fitness of Rohit Sharma
03:21Alright, I am going to thank you for the moment
03:23Getting in those details is my colleague Piyush about the manner in which the BJP has criticized the Congress
03:28And they have been criticizing the Congress for a while now after those comments were made by Congress' Shama Mohammed against Captain Rohit Sharma
03:41A shared dream for the entire nation, India lifted the champion's trophy defeating New Zealand last night in Dubai
03:49In fact, a glorious moment of 12 years in the making when India was deprived of that victory
03:55That moment in the year 2023 reclaiming that position this time around in Dubai
04:01Pakistan of course was the host of the champion's trophy, but as luck would have it
04:05Pakistan was unable to even hold that match on their soil
04:20Was the player of the match, of course, unbeaten India is the champ of champ
04:26India winning the champion's trophy, the entire nation erupting in complete joy
04:37One more thing, I am not going to retire from this format
04:42Just to make sure that no rumors are spread moving forward
04:47Right from the beginning I thought our spinners in particular
04:53There's too much expectations when you're playing on a pitch like that
04:59But they never disappointed, we do understand their strength playing on pitches like this
05:05And it helped them and we used that to our advantage, we played some really good cricket
05:10And throughout the tournament in terms of our bowling we were very very consistent
05:15Again, a very very solid mind, never gets overrode by the pressure around him
05:23That is the reason we wanted to have him in that middle phase
05:27And try and finish off the game for us
05:30With this experience, with this class, there's a bit of calmness when he bats
05:35And he picks the right shot to play in the pressure situation
05:39Which obviously allows the other guys who are batting around him
05:44To come out and play freely
05:46For example, Hardik came out and played some really good shot in both games
05:51That actually gave us a little bit of breather
05:54But again, the overall batsmanship that was shown by all our batters throughout the tournament was superb
06:01Yeah for sure, these are the things after playing for so long, such a long career
06:05You look forward to situations where you're put under pressure
06:07And you walk in and you put your hand up
06:09And I think to win titles, which has kind of been missing in the past
06:13The whole team has to step up in different games
06:15And if you see this tournament over the course of five matches
06:18Everyone has put their hand up somewhere or the other
06:20And that's why we ended up winning this tournament
06:22And people have made such impactful knocks, such impactful spells
06:27And it's only a collective effort that can win you a title
06:31And I'm just so happy that we were able to play as a unit
06:34Just really enjoy ourselves
06:35We've had such an amazing time as a team here
06:37In practice sessions, off the field, on the field
06:40It's been honestly an amazing, amazing tournament for us
06:43Obviously, it's always amazing to win an ICC event
06:46And especially Champions Trophy
06:48You know, I remember 2017 very closely to my heart
06:52We could not finish out the job that time
06:54But very, very pleased with the way we have played throughout the tournament
06:57And at the same point of time, how everyone contributed
07:00That was fantastic
07:01Brilliant, you know, that was calm, composed
07:03You know, he took his chances at the right point of time
07:06I think this is what KL Rahul is
07:08You know, KL Rahul has immense talent
07:10And I don't think anyone can hit the ball the way he can
07:14You know, I think that was just an exhibition of how he did today
07:36I don't think I can say this on camera, but I was shitting myself
07:39At the end, but
07:41I'm just so happy that we were able to play as a team
07:44And I'm just so happy that we were able to play as a team
07:46And I'm just so happy that we were able to play as a team
07:48And I'm just so happy that we were able to play as a team
07:50And I'm just so happy that we were able to play as a team
07:52And I'm just so happy that we were able to play as a team
07:54And I'm just so happy that we were able to play as a team
07:56And I'm just so happy that we were able to play as a team
07:58And I'm just so happy that we were able to play as a team
08:00And I'm just so happy that we were able to play as a team
08:02And I'm just so happy that we were able to play as a team
08:04At the end, but
08:06Yeah, we still had a couple of battles to come
08:08So, yeah
08:10I was confident that we could
08:12Get over the line, but yeah
08:14In moments like this and big games
08:16It's more about holding your composure, which
08:18We all know about it, but it's not as
08:20It's not easy, but
08:22Yeah, happy to be
08:24Happy to win this and happy to get
08:26Over the line this time
08:28I think I've batted in times like this
08:30In three out of the five games
08:32And one of the games I didn't get to bat
08:34At all against Pakistan, so
08:36Yeah, the game's
08:38Given me good time in the middle
08:40And good time to prepare for a big moment
08:42Like this
08:44It's been a good tournament
08:46I guess we came here at the start
08:48I guess we had challenges along the way, but
08:50I think the way we've kind of grown as a group
08:52And we're playing some good cricket at the end of the day
08:54I guess we got beaten by a good side
08:56Who turned up today, but
08:58A lot of good stuff from our group
09:00You know, guys stepping up at different times
09:02I think everyone
09:04Contributed throughout this whole tour, and that's all you can ask for
09:06I guess as a captain in a team
09:08Yeah, I think it was
09:10Good bowling
09:12I think we lost a couple wickets just after the power play
09:14And then
09:16They really got the squeeze on
09:18It looked challenging to start and get away
09:20I think credit to the way
09:22These spinners bowled, all four of them
09:24World class bowlers, and they showed that again today
09:26And I think
09:28We were probably 20 under, or maybe 25 under
09:30Of what we wanted to get, but
09:32We knew we had a total
09:34And we were trying to fight, and that's all we did
09:36Alright, pictures now from the dressing room
09:38Just speaking volumes of the mood there
09:40As tensions rose during the final moments
09:42Of the twinning final
09:58Yeah!
10:00Yeah!
10:02Yeah!
10:04Woo!

12:04Yeah!
12:06Yeah!
12:08Yeah!
12:10Yeah!
12:12Yeah!
12:14Yeah!
12:16Yeah!
12:18Yeah!
12:20Yeah!
12:22Yeah!
12:24Yeah!
12:26Yeah!
12:28Yeah!
12:30Yeah!
12:32Yeah!
12:34Yeah!
12:36Yeah!
12:38Yeah!
12:40Yeah!
12:42Yeah!
12:44Yeah!
12:46Yeah!
12:48Yeah!
12:50Yeah!
12:52Yeah!
12:54Yeah!
12:56Yeah!
12:58Yeah!
13:00Yeah!
13:02Yeah!
13:04Yeah!
13:06Yeah!
13:08Yeah!
13:10Yeah!
13:12Yeah!
13:14Yeah!
13:16Yeah!
13:18Yeah!
13:20Yeah!
13:22Yeah!
13:24Yeah!
13:26Yeah!
13:28Yeah!
13:30Yeah!
13:32Yeah!
13:34Yeah!
13:36Yeah!
13:38Kuldeep Yadav then produced a Jaffa on the opening delivery of his spell as he sent Ravindra
13:45packing with the wrong gun.
13:52Glenn Phillips and Darrell Mitchell revived New Zealand's innings with a solid partnership
13:57leaving India searching for options.
14:03So the men in blue made an impressive comeback limiting New Zealand to a modest total in
14:08the crunch final.
14:18Rohit Sharma got India off to a brisk start in the chase.
14:24He looked switched on and picked the apt deliveries to attack.
14:32Rohit raced to his half century in just 41 balls with the captain stepping up at the
14:37right time for the men in blue.
14:40Shreyas Iyer then took charge and put India's innings back on track.
14:44Later, New Zealand produced another top-notch effort in the field as Iyer fell just two
14:49runs short of his 50.
14:53The finish became a little nervy as Hardik Pandya departed but India were now within
15:01touching distance.
15:04The glorious moment took some time to come but India after 12 long years became winners
15:11of the Champions Trophy.
15:22This is the best wide ball team on the planet is what Sunny Gavaskar said singing praises
15:27for the Indian team after the Champions Trophy victory.
15:30He's talking about the fact that this team has got multiple match winners.
15:35I'm still taking this big call and tell me if I'm correct or not.
15:41Is India the best wide ball team on the planet?
15:44Without a question.
15:45Anything that gets in all the three finals and now the Champions Trophy without a question
15:46they have to be the best wide ball team on the planet.
15:47No doubt whatsoever about that.
15:48India without a question is the best wide ball team at the moment in the world.
16:18Talkers through the supporting cast because that's another standout feature and we've
16:22seen every time a team wins a World Cup like event there has to be multiple heroes and
16:27that's exactly what we've seen.
16:29Three names that come to my mind right now.
16:31One of Akshar Patel he's picked up wickets must be in the top 15 wicket takers.
16:36He's got some runs must be in probably top 15 run getters as well.
16:39The Shreyas Iyer second highest run getter of this tournament and remember he's not an
16:43opener.
16:44He's not an opener.
16:45He's not a runner.
16:46He's not a runner.
16:47He's not a runner.
16:48He's not a runner.
16:49He's not a runner.
16:50He's not a runner.
16:51He's not a runner.
16:52He's not a runner.
16:53He's not a runner.
16:54He's not a runner.
16:55He's not a runner.
16:56He's not a runner.
16:57He's not a runner.
16:58He's not a runner.
16:59He's not a runner.
17:00He's not a runner.
17:01He's not a runner.
17:02He's not a runner.
17:03He's not a runner.
17:04He's not a runner.
17:05He's not a runner.
17:06He's not a runner.
17:07He's not a runner.
17:08He's not a runner.
17:09He's not a runner.
17:10He's not a runner.
17:11He held the team together at a time when the top order had not delivered.
17:17So, I mean, all these players, if you have a situation where five, six players have been
17:21match-winners for you, then it's bound to be that your team is going to go on to win
17:25because you always have somebody or the other who is going to be able to bring the team
17:31out from a tricky situation.
17:33Varun Chakravorty has bowled well, Shreyas Sair, the way he kept his cool, Akshay Patel
17:38as well.
17:39You know, maybe the shot was a little...
17:41I know I wasn't very happy with the shot while I was in commentary, but he's batted well,
17:46he's bowled well, and the run-out he had in the first game.
17:51So clearly, I think he just tells you that here is another cricketer who can be relied
17:56on.
17:57Relied on because, you know, in a situation where it is needed to keep your head, he did
18:02keep his head.
18:03He can sometimes get a bit carried away and play a shot like he did today.
18:08This really is not the easiest of shots to play because, you know, this is a flow.
18:14Here your arm gets just a little bit locked.
18:18Otherwise he would have finished the match, he would have been unbeaten, he would have
18:21got a half century as well.
18:22But never mind.
18:23I think overall he's done magnificently.
18:26These are the guys who have done exceedingly well and that augurs also superbly for India
18:32in the future that all these players have still got plenty of years left in international
18:37play.
18:38Silverware, from conversation about his fitness levels and from the fact that he is going
18:43to retire.
18:44There's been so many conversations around Captain Rohit Sharma, but the man of the moment
18:50in the space of just nine months has managed to ensure that the team wins two ICC titles,
18:57both coming under the leadership of Captain Sharma.
18:59There have been doubts about his future in the team, to guiding the team to Silverware,
19:04to even stating that he ain't going anywhere from the cricket scene.
19:08It's been an eventful time for Rohit Sharma.
19:11Here's how the last few weeks have looked like for the Indian captain.
19:21In the build-up to the Mega Champions Trophy final, Rohit Sharma's name became a buzzword.
19:28More than his modest returns with the bat, the chorus about his retirement dominated
19:33headlines.
19:34A month back too, there were some speculating the same.
20:04When Chumman Gill turned up for the press conference on the eve of the match, he dispelled
20:22all rumours.
20:34As Rohit Sharma came out to bat at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium with hopes pinned
20:48on him, he played as if he was unaware of what was being said about him, taking matters
20:55into his own hands and setting the platform for the Indian team.
21:06Against Santana, he held his ground and played the waiting game, contrary to what many have
21:13to say about his patience.
21:17The way he played today made one question what could have been had he played the same
21:23way on the 19th of November, 2023.
21:34Rohit could have been at par with MSD with most ICC titles for India, but after today's
21:40win, he can proudly say that he is India's second most successful captain.
21:47In all of this, the hitman's heroics with the bat should not be forgotten.
21:52From fastest to 11,000 ODI runs, most double-hundreds in ODI cricket and most turns in a single
21:59edition of the World Cup are just some of his notable achievements.
22:03I don't think there is such a player in the world of cricket.
22:07We talk about Emperor Kohli, we talk about Joe Root, we talk about Williamson, we talk
22:11about Babar Azam, but this guy is different because it makes batting so easy.
22:18It's just brilliant.
22:19I love watching him.
22:20I could watch him bat all day and I've been on the receiving end of a double-hundred from
22:24him.
22:25It's almost one of those things where you go, that was amazing, can I watch that again?
22:29If we could change the result, I'd watch that every day.
22:34He smiled big after getting his hands on the trophy that was missing from his cabinet and
22:41later made a statement that helped cricket fans sleep better.
22:48One more thing, I'm not going to retire from this format, just to make sure that no rumours
22:54are spread moving forward.
22:57Okay, guys, thank you so much.
22:59Rohit's glorious legacy now has another golden chapter as the country comes together to hail
23:06the hitman.
23:07Sports Bureau, India Today.
23:13Alright, in 1983, World Cup heroes Sunny Gavaskar, Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, who was at the
23:22India Today Studios, showed their dancing moves, of course, they were extremely elated.
23:28Take a look at these pictures of Sunny Baji along with our colleague Vikrant Gupta and
23:34of course, Kapil Dev shaking his legs, displaying his dance moves in the India Today Studios,
23:39celebrating that win.
23:43Go ahead!
23:53Go ahead!
24:00Go ahead!
24:02Go ahead!
24:10Go ahead!
24:12Go ahead!
24:27Alright, now Kapil Dev also spoke about Rohit Sharma's big hitting ability.
24:32It's not comparable to anyone else.
24:34He's lauded Rohit Sharma for his captainship as well, speaking about what he's achieved
24:39over the last few months.
24:41Listen in to this exclusive conversation with Kapil Dev.
24:46Congratulations to you, Mr. Kapil Dev.
24:48Oh, to everybody, everybody in the country.
24:50I think this type of a win brings so much happiness around.
24:54You can see the smiling face.
24:57I think fantastic.
24:58These type of things, you can't plan something.
25:02When it happens and you can see the people's face, they want to say something they can't
25:07say because they don't know what to say.
25:09They have 10 lines.
25:10In one line, they want to say 10 lines.
25:13I think it's fantastic.
25:15Victory like this is required when they play bad cricket 2 series in Australia and India
25:21against New Zealand and Australia.
25:23Now here they come back and play such fantastic cricket.
25:27I think, oh, there's no word to express.
25:31You said, you know, you find, you're always looking for multiple ways of expressing such
25:35feelings, 10 lines come to your mind.
25:37In one line, if you could describe the best, in the best possible manner in that one line,
25:42the whole winning feeling right now, what would that be?
25:44English is not my language.
25:46Whatever language, sir.
25:47It's not my language.
25:49So I can't say that.
25:51That's one line.
25:54And if you say yes, they made us proud.
25:58Nation broke out in joy celebrating the stellar victory of the Indian cricket team.
26:03However, there were tensions in many other places as well after this victory.
26:09Tensions reported in Madhya Pradesh's Mau where communal clashes erupted during the victory march
26:15near the Jama Masjid, arson, stone pelting, vandalism erupted.
26:19Allegedly after a tiff that broke out over the bursting of firecrackers near a place of worship.
26:25An army unit also conducted a flag march to bring an end to the violence.
26:30In Telangana's Hyderabad, police officials also faced off with Team India supporters
26:35celebrating the victory.
26:37Pictures of that on your screens at this point in time.
26:41Fans were largely charged.
26:42Celebrations were brought to an abrupt end by police officials
26:46triggering an appeasement barb by the BJP against the Congress government.
27:00After the Indian-New Zealand match, there was a procession
27:13in which some people threw firecrackers outside the mosque.
27:16After that, there was a controversy on both sides.
27:20And there was an uproar on both sides.
27:22The police force is present here.
27:25And they are also patrolling continuously.
27:27Now there is complete peace here.
27:29Some people have been charged.
27:31And the police is conducting a strict investigation on them.
27:34Going straight across to Amritanshi Joshi for more details on that story.
27:38Amritanshi, tell us about the current situation at this point in time.
27:42Where tensions have broken out in Mao.
27:44In your state also, how are things at this point in time?
27:48The current situation is under control in Mahua.
27:52Mahua is a place which is near 25-30 km from the Indore district.
27:57Yesterday at night, when India won the Champions Trophy final,
28:01a processional rally was being taken out by some people there in the Mahua area.
28:06Mahua is an army cantonment area.
28:08Always heavy army.
28:10And police is deployed there because of the army cantonment area.
28:14But as soon as this procession, this rally reached the Jama Masjid area,
28:17it has been alleged that some of the people,
28:20the panic erupted in between the two groups.
28:24And stones were pelted by the group,
28:28from a particular group of people who were taking out the rally from the Jama Masjid area.
28:34As soon as the stones were pelted,
28:36also the people when they knew about that stone pelting,
28:39they left their motorcycles and left their situation there.
28:44Also, some of the vehicles were set on fire by one of the groups
28:49from where the stones were pelted allegedly.
28:52And also the situation right now is under control.

29:00It will be ascertained later that how the situation erupted.

29:55Amrita Joshi Gheshing getting us up to speed with the details
29:57and the current situation in the area where tensions broke out last night.
30:03All right, the heat now mounting on cricket's Lalit Modi hideout.
30:07Banu Tao to cancel the passport of Lalit Modi.
30:10Remember, he got the passport just a few weeks ago.
30:13Modi had earlier surrendered the Indian passport.
30:16XIPL chief accused of tax evasion and laundering.
30:19Modi fled India in 2010 amid the probe that was an ongoing one.
30:24And it is an ongoing one.
30:26However, his country of refuge now has cancelled his passport.
30:38Hideout Banua to cancel the passport.
30:41Lalit Modi had earlier surrendered the Indian passport.
30:44I'm going to go straight across to Geeta Mohan for more details on that.
30:47Geeta, what were the reasons for A to then first grant the passport and then cancel it?
30:54Well, when the initial request for citizenship went to the country,
31:01they did not really specifically have details on the fact that he is wanted in India in money laundering case.
31:09And therefore, Banua to issue citizenship to Lalit Modi.
31:16But when it came to their notice,
31:18and that's why this press release that has been put out by the Prime Minister's office,
31:23Prime Minister Napa's office,
31:25it very specifically says that the citizenship commission has been asked to begin proceedings to cancel the citizenship
31:35because during standard procedures and background checks,
31:39the Interpol screening did not really come up.
31:42And only when he was made aware of the fact that there are cases against him
31:47and that Interpol requests were rejected,
31:51but he's wanted in India,
31:53that he has now asked the citizenship commission to immediately rescind the citizenship
32:03and also begin proceedings to further that order.
32:08All right, Geeta, I'm going to thank you for the moment.
32:10Geeta Mohan getting us up to speed with those details that we have with us at this point in time
32:15about the cancellation of the passport that Banua had issued to Prickett's son, Lalit Modi.
32:31All right, shifting focus to news back home,
32:33and this is the developing story that we're reporting on
32:36of the ED mounting heat on former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Pragyan's son, Chaitanya.
32:42ED raids underway in 15 locations in Chhattisgarh.
32:46Heat on Pragyan's son over liquor scam, laundering charges.
32:51Congress calls these raids witch hunt and vendetta politics.
33:12I'm going straight across to you, Geeta.
33:13I'm going straight across to you, Geeta.
33:14I'm going straight across to you, Geeta.
33:15I'm going straight across to you, Geeta.

33:19I'm going straight across to you, Geeta.
33:20I'm going straight across to you, Geeta.
33:21I'm going straight across to you, Geeta.

33:24I'm going straight across to you, Geeta.
33:25I'm going straight across to you, Geeta.
33:26I'm going straight across to you, Geeta.
33:27I'm going straight across to you, Geeta.
33:28I'm going straight across to my colleague, Munish Pandey, this morning, getting in more
33:44details on that story.
33:46Munish, what is this particular case about?
33:48Talk to us a little about the other 15 locations also that are getting raided.
33:53Well, Sneha, the enforcement directed in the year 2022, they lodged a case in connection
34:00with 2100 crore liquor scam.
34:03At that point of time, ED came that they have evidence to prove that there was a massive
34:08loss to the exchequer, to the state government because of the policy which was brought in
34:16by then Congress government.
34:18ED then conducted raids at several premises.
34:21The principal secretary of then chief minister of Chhattisgarh, he was also questioned by
34:28the enforcement director.
34:29There were several key individuals who were arrested by the ED as far as the investigation
34:34is concerned.
34:35Now, at this point of time, we have been given to understand is that the ED recently uncovered
34:40some evidence linking the liquor scam to Bhupesh Bagel's son, Chaitanya Bagel.
34:47And that is why, based on the evidence, at this point of time, ED is conducting raids
34:52not only at the premises linked to Chaitanya Bagel, but also we have been given to understand
34:57is that there are several key individuals, associates of Chaitanya Bagel, some middlemen
35:02and some private individuals.
35:04They are being searched by the ED.
35:06There is a high possibility that, you know, in coming days, Chaitanya Bagel will be questioned
35:11by the ED.
35:12But as far as this entire case is concerned, there will be a far-reaching political implication
35:18also because the Congress will leave no stone unturned to claim that this is nothing but,
35:24you know, a political vendetta by the Bharatiya Janata Party.
35:28But as far as ED is concerned, they are claiming that based on evidence, they are conducting
35:32these searches.
35:33All right.
