Bengaluru, Aug 27 (Ians) A stylish fifty by Devdutt Padikkal, a late blitzkrieg by captain Manish Pandey and then some accurate bowling by the bowlers led by Manoj Bhandage helped the Gulbarga Mystics lift the inaugural edition of the Maharaja Trophy.
The Mystics saw off the challenge of Bengaluru Blasters by 11 runs at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday night.
Batting first, the Gulbarga Mystics got off to a flying start with the in-form Jeswath Acharya and Rohan Patil firing on all cylinders in the powerplay. Both batters were dealing in boundaries in the initial phase — scoring at more than 10 runs an over, as they put on a stand of 60 runs before Patil was the first to depart for 38.
Acharya was joined by the stylish Padikkal and they continued to keep the momentum going. The partnership though wasn’t a big one as Acharya walked back for 39 in the 7th over.

Bengaluru, Aug 18 (Ians) A fine all-round performance by a non-all-rounder, Devdutt Padikkal, helped Gulbarga Mystics score a convincing six-wicket victory over table toppers Bengaluru Blasters on Thursday in the Maharaja Trophy T20 Tournament at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
With this victory, their fourth from seven matches, the Mystics moved to eight points and a share of the second place with Mysore Warriors and Mangalore United while the Blasters stayed at the top on 10 points but with an extra match played.
It was the day of the Mystics as Padikkal shone both with the ball and the bat in a man-of-the-match performance. The left-handed opener first starred in the field taking five catches to underline his athleticism as the Blasters were brought down to earth with a thud after their thundering 25-run victory over Shivomagga Blasters on Wednesday.
Blasters were hardly recognisable as their batsmen, who had blasted their way to 191/6 less than 24 hours earlier,...

Mysore, Aug 13 (Ians) Pavan Deshpande turned up the style on Saturday evening, scoring a strokeful half-century for the Mysuru Warriors, before Aditya Goyal and Shreyas Gopal helped restrict the high-flying Bengaluru Blasters batting to 165/8.
That saw the Mysuru Warriors clinch a 6-run win.
Batting first, Mysore Warriors lost skipper Karun Nair for 1, but that hardly set them back as Nihal Ullal and Pavan Deshpande got their act going. The duo only made full use of the fielding restrictions in the powerplay and kept things solid, not allowing the Blasters another early breakthrough.
A 59-run stand between them gave the Warriors some breathing space before Nihal was gone for 23. Deshpande though was firing away on all cylinders, and continued to do so despite the fall of the wicket, bringing up his fifty with a six over midwicket in the 12th over. A few deliveries later, Deshpande was caught ball-watching, and was...

Mysore, Aug 11 (Ians) Mayank Agarwal-led Bengaluru Blasters registered a convincing 35-run win against Mangalore United on Thursday, by the Vjd method after rain turned up with poor timing.
Mayank and Lr Chethan were at the dangerous best, as they batted the opposition out of the game while Rishi Bopanna turned on the style with the ball, picking 4 wickets.
Put into bat first, the Bengaluru Blasters got off to a great start with captain Mayank Agarwal and Lr Chethan firing on all cylinders in the powerplay, taking the score to a solid 70/0 at the end of the first 6 overs.

Film: 'Achchu Mechchu'; Cast: Tarun, Archana Guptha, Achyuth Rao, Veena Sundar and Shobharaj; Producer: Lokesh; Director: Himayat Khan; Music Director: A.M. Neel; Camera: Nagesh Acharya; Rating: * 1/2
'Achchu Mechchu' has an unconventional theme, which could have been turned into a great cinematic piece with a message. The story deals with a young son's desire to get his mother married to a professor as per his late father's wish.
In the past, quite a few Southern films with novel themes like a daughter trying to get her mother married to her ex-lover were made. In 1984, well-known Telugu director Kranthi Kumar made one such bold attempt with 'Swathi', which won the Best Film Nandi award from Andhra Pradesh government..
