A vintage Virat Kohli was on display when Royal Challengers Bengaluru were fielding against Gujarat Titans in their IPL 2026 game at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Thursday. GT skipper Shubman Gill got off to a terrific start in the chase of 155 against RCB. He smashed veteran pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Josh Hazlewood all around the park in the first two overs of Powerplay. Gill hit the Indian fast bowler for a four and six in the very first over of the innings, and then smashed the ace Australian pacer for three overs and two sixes in the following over. RCB looked completely clueless as their bowlers found no way to stop him. Eventually, Bhuvneshwar provided RCB the much-needed relief as Gill smashed the ball into the hands of Kohli at cover. The RCB star followed the wicket with a furious celebration. A vintage Kohli took the catch, gave a stare to Gill and then banged the ball on the floor with a loud roar.

Sheejith Krishna, a former faculty of Chennai's Kalakshetra Foundation, has been arrested today on allegations of sexual harassment by former students. A renowned dancer, Mr Krishna had resigned on his own from Kalakshetra and started his own dance academy. Sheejith Krishna's team is yet to respond on the allegations.
The former students, now settled abroad had moved the Madras High Court, alleged Mr Krishna had sexually harassed them when they were on campus between 1996 and 2001. The court had directed the Chennai Police Commissioner to act on the complaint. Confirming the arrest, a senior police officer told NDTV "The former students allege Sheejith used them".
Last year, the Kalakshetra Foundation sacked professor Hari Padman after an inquiry committee found him guilty of sexual harassment. He was also arrested.
Large sections of students had also taken to the streets alleging sexual harassment by faculty and repertory artists and they sought justice citing inaction by the administration.
Initially, the management and the National Commission for Women had denied any sexual harassment until the issue went to court. Around a hundred students, including male students, gave written complaints to the state women's commission.
An independent committee has given a set of recommendations that the Madras High Court has urged the institution to implement, calling its failure to address sexual harassment a "blight on Kalakshetra". The recommendations include a ban on entry of students into teachers' quarters except during community celebrations, a ban on "engaging repertory artists, curtailing obsession on performance and an emphasis on deep learning and polishing art form".
