Punjab Kings had a forgettable day in the outfield, dropping as many as three catches during their top-of-the-table clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday. In addition, Prabhsimran Singh missed a routine stumping chance off Yuzvendra Chahal 's bowling. While Chahal could have had a four-wicket haul inside the first three overs of his spell, the PBKS players seemed to have an off night in the field. It all started with Cooper Connolly dropping Ishan Kishan at deep backward square leg off Lockie Ferguson . Shashank Singh and Ferguson then dropped a catch each off Chahal's bowling, leaving the veteran spinner in complete disbelief. "Chahal is having a rotten night in terms of fortune," the commentator remarked after Prabhsimran missed Kishan's stumping in the 11th over. Meanwhile, Shashank has fumbled four catches in IPL 2026 - the most by any player for PBKS this season. PBKS head coach Ricky Ponting cut a helpless figure but sympathized with hi...
Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday admitted that he could not fulfil three promises - cleaning of Yamuna river, providing clean drinking water and making Delhi's roads of European standard.
He said these tasks will be carried out in the next five years if AAP is re-elected in the assembly polls.
Addressing a gathering in Laxmi Bai Nagar, Mr Kejriwal reminded people of his promises and assured that the AAP government is working towards their completion.
"I am truthful to my promises. Either I fulfil them or I remind them that I promised but couldn't do it. I could not fulfill three promises - first cleaning the Yamuna, second, providing clean drinking water and third making Delhi's roads of European standards.
Mr Kejriwal said the work of cleaning Yamuna will be accomplished in two to three years.
"A lot of work has been done...Yamuna will be cleaned in the next two to three years. About 24-hour drinking water supply, this has been started in a colony of Rajendra Nagar. I inaugurated it...Now we will do it for all areas of Delhi. We will improve the quality of roads. All these 3 works will be completed in the next five years," he said.
Mr Kejriwal spoke of the AAP government's work for improving schools and the power situation.
"In the summer of 2014, there used to be power cuts for 10 hours. We have made sure that Delhi receives electricity for 24 hours. BJP has government in 20 states yet they don't provide electricity for 24 hours. Delhi also has the cheapest electricity," Mr Kejriwal said.
"We have provided good education to children. No government focused on government schools. We have built amazing government schools. Last year the result of government schools was 99.7 per cent. Private schools had 92 per cent results. I believe there's no bigger patriotic work than providing free and good education," he added.
Delhi Assembly elections will be held on February 5 and votes will be counted on February 8.
