HYDERABAD: Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul on Wednesday said they were completely outplayed by the incredible power-hitting of Sunrisers Hyderabad’s openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, terming it “unreal batting.” Head and Sharma added another chapter to their remorseless domination over bowlers while carving lightning fast unbeaten fifties to power SRH to a convincing 10-wicket win over LSG in a crucial IPL match.

Goemkarponn desk VASCO: Mormugao taluka does not have a dearth of registered voters who are from diverse communities and different states, but finding them in the taluka and getting them to vote has always been a challenge for local leaders. This was evident as all four constituencies fared below South Goa’s average voter turnout of 76.06% on Tuesday. And so, the task was clear before the parties concerned right from the beginning: To have as many leaders as possible to contact the voters present and get them to vote for the party.

Goemkapronn desk CANACONA: Even as the Lok Sabha elections in the Canacona assembly segment were by and large peaceful, the VVPAT’s overall malfunctions and a few other incidents did not deter the BJP and Congress camps from claiming leads over the other leaving behind the regional outfit (RGP) nowhere in the run-up to win.
