The fans at Barsapara Stadium witnessed one of the most stunning ODI batting displays from the West Indies as, for the first time ever, three Caribbean batters scored centuries in a single ODI innings. From an explosive, no-holds-barred assault by opener John Campbell to a measured, quintessential ODI-style century from skipper Shai Hope and a classy yet merciless ton from rising star Amir Jangoo , the Indian fans experienced Caribbean cricket in different flavours and tempos. As the two-time champions eye a spot in the 2027 ODI World Cup through the qualifiers, they showcased a level of ruthlessness that fans had rarely seen from them in recent years. India conceded 405/7 in 50 overs, the third-highest total ever conceded by the side in ODIs. Highest ODI totals against India 438/4 South Africa, Wankhede, 2015 411/8 Sri Lanka, Rajkot, 2009 405/7 West Indies, Guwahati, 2026 389/4 Australia, Sydney, 2020 387/3 England, Lord's, 2026 "If West Indies, who didn...
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.
