IPL 2017: India's young guns shine bright in enthralling season

UPDATED: May 22, 2017 19:13 IST

IPL 2017 is over and we have a champion; Mumbai Indians lifted the crown for a record third time in 10 years. While a lot will be talked about and a lot will be written on Mumbai's emphatic journey, there were those who made an impression even though their teams failed to achieve glory. One such player, among the many bright stars, was Rishabh Pant. His team Delhi Daredevils continued to disappoint but the 19-year-old southpaw played some majestic innings, drawing high praise from Sachin Tendulkar. In fact, the Master Blaster compared Pant to Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina.

Rahul Tripathi, who played some cracking knocks for runners-up Rising Pune Supergiant, also came in for special praise from Tendulkar and other stalwarts of the game. Then there were others like Basil Thampi, Mohammed Siraj and Washington Sundar who stood up to be counted among the cleverest bowlers this season.

India's pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah and Jaydev Unadkat were superb too. While Bhuvi snared the Purple Cap for the second year running, Unadkat finished at a close second. And Bumrah of course played some key roles for the eventual champions and is sure to become an even more integral part of India's limited-overs teams.

Yogi Adityanath on Saturday presented a saffron gamcha to Suvendu Adhikari, shortly after the latter took oath as the first BJP Chief Minister of West Bengal. The crowd also erupted into a loud cheer as the scene unfolded at the swearing-in ceremony in Kolkata. This was at least the second such instance in recent weeks when the duo's bonhomie was witnessed publicly. Earlier, during the election campaign in the state, a powerful scene was witnessed when Adhikari bowed down at the feet of the UP Chief Minister as a mark of respect.

Video: PM Modi hugs, touches feet of 98-year-old BJP veteran in Bengal

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hugged and honoured 98-year-old Makhanlal Sarkar, one of the earliest and senior most members of the BJP. The scene unfolded on the stage ahead of Suvendu Adhikari's swearing-in as West Bengal's Chief Minister in Kolkata. PM Modi also touched Sarkar's feet and presented a shawl to him as a mark of respect. In 1952, Sarkar was arrested in Kashmir while he was accompanying Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee as the latter was marching to hoist the tricolour there. BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya described the elderly party leader as "one of the earliest grassroots figures associated with the nationalist movement in post-Independence India."
