Arjun Tendulkar , son of legendary India cricketer Sachin Tendulkar , made his debut for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2026 on Saturday, and also took his first wicket of the tournament. Tendulkar bowled an inch-perfect yorker in his third over to dismiss Punjab Kings (PBKS) opener Prabhsimran Singh , trapping him LBW. The left-arm pacer, however, did not celebrate it much, with LSG in a losing position. Tendulkar had a golden opportunity to dismiss Prabhsimran in his very first over, but LSG skipper Rishabh Pant squandered a simple catch. When Tendulkar got Prabhsimran's wicket on the final ball of the 15th over, PBKS were already in the driving seat and on their way to victory, chasing a target of 197. Tendulkar was not animated in his celebration, instead just exchanging high-fives with some of his teammates.

Justice BR Gavai, the former Chief Justice of India, has told NDTV that while the Indian judiciary is independent, their actions are often seen through the prism of politics. In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Justice Gavai spoke of the judiciary's actions being misinterpreted and wrong narratives being built around it.
The judges, he said, do not decide "by looking at who is the opponent in front of us".
"We decide by looking at the case of the opponent in front of us," he said.
"So, in some cases, we decide on the side of the government, in some cases, we decide against the government. This does not mean that in every matter, we decide against the government, then only we are independent judges. Otherwise, the judges are biased, the judges are partisan," he added.
But this does not mean that the courts take sides or bow under pressure.
"Judges take their oath to be independent. Along with our constitution, our commitment, the oath we take... we should work on that," he said.
This, he said, is also manifest when it comes to the action of central agencies against political leaders.
"You must have heard that I have openly criticized the ED (Enforcement Directorate) many times," he said.
"My opinion is that political battles should be fought in front of the electorate. And wherever I felt that any agency, be it ED or state police, is victimizing any politician for political reasons, I did not hesitate even for a minute to give relief in such matters," he told NDTV.
Justice Gavai retired earlier this week as Justice Surya Kant took oath as the 53rd Chief Justice of India.
