with Delhi's air quality improving slightly over the weekend. The centres Air quality panel on Sunday lifted curbs imposed under the final stage of the Air Pollution Action Plan, just three days after it came into force on saucy in view of the worsening air quality in Delhi and the National Capital Region. After the levels hit the severe plus category, the Commission for Air Quality Management decided to implement measures under stage four of the grade Respond Action plan. The graded respond action plan of grappa is a set of anti pollution measures followed in the national capital and the vicinity according to the severity of the situation. But now in a reversal of these moves now, the ban on the entry of truck traffic in Delhi has been lifted. A ban on medium and heavy goods vehicles has been lifted. The ban on non BF six diesel vehicles has been lifted on The ban on all industries in Delhi that was put in place just three days ago has now been lifted and the results of the by elections in seven assembly seats across six states were declared on Sunday. The BJP has 14 of the seven by polls. None of these contests are likely to upset the map for current state governments in place, but with regional Party is looking to put together a united front for the 2020 for Lok Sabha elections. Just year and a half away, these elections have been closely watched because they could serve as a booster shot or perception busters. So one of the big takeaways, well, the BJP 14 key polls but they lost to Casey are. The Congress lost two seats in Haryana and Telangana and in Bihar, the BJP charged are on equal footing. But there has been a blow to Team Nitish. An udder of Thackeray's faction won its first election after the BJP backed coup led by Ignite Shinde a split his Shiv Sena and unseated his government in Maharashtra. But the big storey of the day, the TRS one, the tightly fought Munna God. By fall, the TRS had gone all out to win the selection, with the chief minister holding to public meetings and deploying his entire team of ministers and um lass to ensure a win for the minister. This is in the first election since he launched the barrette Rashtriya Sami Theo B. R S declaring his national ambitions ahead of the 2020 for elections and it had become a high stakes by poll is it could set the mood for the assembly elections next year. The terrorist managed to win the minute goodbye poll by more than 10,000 votes, even though the BJP candidate gave a tough fight with critics saying it is not politics but money that won the day. This battle happened between money, power, machinery and governments. So we knew we were fighting two giant titans and and, as you can see, money and liquor was what ran the show. The terrorists had gone all out to win this election, with the chief minister holding to public meetings and deploying his impact team of ministers and Mlle Lass to ensure a wind. I think you know Mr Amit Shah and Yogi Aditya and other chief ministers and all central ministers Mr Nada be all India president himself. They all came here for this election. No government is going to fall or form do the outcome of this election, and yet the perception was that this was going to set the stage for assembly elections next year. And that's why I became a high stakes battle and the chief minister went all out to ensure that the TRS wins BJP candidate commit ready. Rajagopal had quit as Congress MLA necessitating the by poll that saw heavy spending by both the T R s and the BJP for the Congress that common 20 Rajagopal had quit to force the by polls party month DRS Night From and our other manga for the Congress. It was humiliating for the candidate, even Lou said Deposit. The Congress has ended up as a distant third in the money gold by pole and therefore lost out even the perception battle that it is capable of giving a challenge to the TRS to come to power in Telangana in 2023 and in Bihar, the BJP and the RJ's were able to retain their respective seats Gopal Gone, JJ and Mo Comma. But for TDC, Yadav's charged, which lost Gopal tinge to see their by just 2000 vote, it was overseas. I mean, um and the BSP that played spoiler by getting around 20,000 votes. Candidate Neil of D.

Osama shop for NDTV while I am joined at this hour by Rakesh Row, deputy editor of Hindu, Also joining me on the show and sage in cricket analysts. I'll come to you, Rakesh straight away. How do you describe that innings of Surya Kumar Yadav? That was extraordinary. And I think adding Got used to it now because the way he bats, I don't think anybody in contemporary cricket, even nice to do that and and is he showing some great form also? Because such individuals don't normally strike so consistently, you will have a rush of funds or somebody like a just battle among, or somebody like that. You know who will be going after the polling, but they don't show this kind of consistency for us. It has come on a big stage in the World Cup when our top order looks a little wobbly because at least you know, two out of three are not doing so well in every match. So 11 batsman from the top C by this holds is, you know, like holders ground. And from there onwards, Surya comes and give provides you with a strong finish. So these things are happening now. So this contest happened every time but as long as it lasts, Just enjoyed. And is we have been talking about this Mansouri Kumar Yadav, Perhaps since the time he played for Kolkata Knight riders in the land. For a very long time, we have been hoping for him to get a chance to show his medal with Team India. It came late, but would you say it came at the right time when he is in the in the prime of his life? Absolutely. You know, they say that if it get mature after 27 28 he got his you time after a long wait at the age of 29 I guess one year's time is showed to the world what is played off and like my friend mentioned, you know, the shorts, what he plays and what you mentioned are Jor Dropping and you can only enjoy and make a n us. And we hope for India seek that he fired in the next game. I would like both a few or to pick out one short for me of Surya Kumar Yadav that really stands out for your Rakesh Canada's go first, and there's one which depict from outside the off stump and scoped it behind the packets. Where I mean that was That was an astonishing, astonishing short. Even the last one was okay. But then that one, he didn't quite see it. He just closed his eyes. But that one was premeditated, putting his left foot right across the line and, you know, sitting at the way he wanted. He connected it for you, obviously the one here, a friend mentioned. But I like always the short with both of the extra hour, which he hits in the air. And I believe he's got that timing and a class which makes we play that short. Also, I believe the final six that he played was absolutely breathtaking, and it Isha brought the stadium to a pause. In fact, er, the fans were left breathless out there inside em CD. Now just talking a little more about India's batting. Rakesh, can you tell me going into the semifinal? Water said that India needs to look at and have a hard look at the major issue happens to the Rohit. Rohit is not consistent because we have these five games where we needed to sort out a lot of a lot of some polling issues we had, and then the caused the top order wasn't doing so great. The middle order was looking a little shaky because people like heartbreak and others they wouldn't, you know, they're not expected to perform so consistently. The Saviour has been Soria and, of course, the net provided he gets through the 1st 25 for balls where he is scoring, considered simply random all 25 30 and thereafter he changes here. So, assuming that gets his share of fighting and then he accelerates, that's all. Okay, but there's not going to happen day after day. So for me, the biggest worry is Rohit as of now, but then has a say. The law of averages is firmly in his. He should come good in the next game, and it's great to see you know, Rahul getting some confidence there. But then the moment he reaches his 50 you you know that that short is going to be there is with a place in the air is for the tickets, man, and that has happened. Spot was. But then again, heartache in the middle is not convincing at all. You don't expect the lower order, although we go with up to number eight. That hasn't really given us a lot of like, Return says. In terms of bowling. I think Heartache and and action Patel liabilities for me so far because they haven't really done anything worth. They get tickets for the vendor, get the charge when the batsman decide to go after you know how they they could do a lot better. But that's still mix, and it's likely come to you and ask you a little bit about India's experiment today with Bishop Pants. He did not play any of the matches in this World Cup. They brought him in to give a give him a game. But you know, Punch did not come into his own. Do you expect him to play in the knockouts on a streak? I was baffled that report so laid in any case, you know, now the only thing I hope that maybe they wanted to rest decay in Gary um, today because you are not having any clarity and you're confusing. Actually, what chateau you want now Had Recep Point sport a few runs today, you'd have said to decay you are not playing. That's what we did in the 2019 change and chop. We need to give that support what we gave to hell. Rahul and back decade to the four today. Okay, got out early, but I was still back. D k r for the big game which is the semi finals is the finisher and your document. Let's front door with big name of of last minute A to Rakesh in the match against England in the semi final match against England. What is there that India should be mindful of about their opposition? Number one? I think I think the top three for me. The top three. You have to get rid of them because if one of them stays till 40 overs, you are looking at 1 61 17. Same system in the same thing applies to you. One of your top four has to batter the 20th over. I don't I don't mind who that guy is. One of them should bat out. I mean, he should be there when India is into the 20th over. Then we will also be scoring in access of about 1 70. But then Joe's battle a Alex Hales, a missing and, of course, the the big man to dangers. The crucial card in England's well that India has to be cautious about, Thank you very much a niece and Rakesh for joining me on the at this hour.
