Pakistan Minister Establishes 'Suryakumar Yadav Condition' for Asia Cup Trophy Transfer to India
In light of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) rejecting requests for a trophy handover ceremony, Asian Cricket Council (ACC) leader Mohsin Naqvi has reportedly introduced a new condition to break the deadlock regarding the Asia Cup 2025. During an ACC meeting on Tuesday, BCCI officials Rajeev Shukla and Ashish Shelar put Naqvi on the defensive by requesting that the trophy be stored in the Asian body's Dubai office for shipping to India.Naqvi, however, demonstrated little to no willingness to comply with the requests from the Indian board. A report by the Pakistani media outlet Geo Super states that Naqvi even opposed the mention of the trophy handover in the meeting, as it was not included in the original agenda. During a virtual meeting, Naqvi informed Rajeev Shukla, "This item was not included in the agenda for the ACC meeting." Naqvi, in response to the BCCI's insistence on the trophy's return, stated: "If the Indian team wants the trophy, the captain can come to the ACC office and collect it from me. "Witnessing Naqvi's lack of cooperation, the BCCI warned the heads of the ACC and PCB that if the trophy is not transferred to the Indian team within a specified timeframe, they will lodge a complaint with the ICC concerning this issue. As PTI reported, a source stated, “It was clarified that the BCCI would lodge a complaint with the ICC, and Shelar made a brief exit from the meeting.” During the tournament, the two teams faced off three times, with India emerging victorious on each occasion, including in the final. During the event, India upheld a 'no-handshake policy' with Pakistani players, which angered the PCB.Following the Pahalgam terror attack, where Pakistan-backed terrorists killed 26 Indian tourists, tensions between the two neighbors have reached unprecedented levels.

PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi Complains in Social Media Post Following His Asia Cup Final Trophy Incident
The Chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Interior Minister of the country, Mohsin Naqvi, who embarrassed himself internationally by taking the Asia Cup trophy after India declined to accept it from him, is now asserting that India has dishonored the spirit of the game. After suffering a crushing defeat to India, PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi—whose X account is withheld in India—reacted on the microblogging platform to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's congratulatory message following the match.“If war was how you gauged your pride, your shameful defeats against Pakistan are already chronicled in history. No cricket match can change that reality. Naqvi stated, "Dragging war into sport merely showcases desperation and dishonors the true spirit of the game. "PM Modi commended India’s renowned victory earlier, stating, “Operation Sindoor on the games field.” The result is identical: India wins! Congratulations to our cricketers.Naqvi's misunderstanding of historical events and facts is evident, and he requires a serious reminder of how often Pakistan has had to submit to Indian superiority in conflicts. Beginning with the signing of the Instrument of Surrender by Lieutenant General A.A.K. Niazi, head of Pakistani forces, to the Indian Army in 1971, which ended the war, and continuing through to the Kargil Conflict, where former PM Nawaz Sharif acknowledged their mistake in breaching the Lahore declaration.

BCCI Responds to Shreyas Iyer’s Sudden Exit from India A Squad
Shreyas Iyer’s unexpected withdrawal from the India A team raised several questions, especially with no official explanation at the time. The BCCI has now addressed the situation, stating that Iyer had informed team management about discomfort and was advised rest by medical staff. His exit, however, sparked speculation given his recent exclusion from the central contract list. A report suggests Iyer may have been unhappy with the way his situation was handled by selectors, though there’s no confirmation from the player himself. For now, the BCCI maintains that his health was the only reason behind the decision. As the conversation continues, fans await clarity on Iyer’s future with the national setup.

Shaheen attempted to minimize the outcry resulting from Pakistan's on-field conduct, stating, "Everyone has their own thoughts." “Each person has their own respect.” Each person believes that their way of thinking is the correct one. However, it is our duty to play cricket. And we have emerged victorious in the tri-nation series. Our goal is to win the Asia Cup. As a team, we are doing our utmost, with God's blessing,” he added.In the current Asia Cup, Pakistan has already experienced two back-to-back losses to India. It is possible for the two teams to meet again in the tournament final on September 28. Although none of the finalists has been confirmed yet, Shaheen expressed confidence in his team's ability to finally defeat India if the two teams meet in the title-decider on Sunday. "They have yet to reach the final. It will be seen when they get to the final. Our purpose in coming here is to win the final and the Asia Cup. We are prepared for any team that arrives. „Wir werden sie besiegen“, sagte er.

T20 World Cup 2024 Six key worries for Team India before to the competition
17 years have passed since India's thrilling victory in the first-ever ICC Men's T20 World Cup in South Africa, which heralded in a new era for cricket. However, the Men in Blue have failed to win a second title in the format that India has shaped more than any other (mostly because of the IPL) since then. Here are Team India's top worries ahead of the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, which will be held in the US and the West Indies in less than a month.1. With whom should Rohit Sharma open with? Making the most of deliveries for your best batsmen is essential in Twenty20 cricket. India should seriously contemplate starting their innings with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in light of this tactic. Even if Indian captain Rohit Sharma appears to be heading in the wrong direction, it's possible that Yashasvi Jaiswal will take his place at the top, with Kohli holding onto his position at number three, which he has held for the previous ten years.Even though Kohli has only made nine appearances as the opener in Twenty20 Internationals, he has an outstanding 57.14 average and a 161.29 strike rate. Kohli has been a fixture at the top for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for almost ten years, scoring more runs than any other player in that capacity. Notably, opening the innings was when Kohli scored his lone T20I century for India.In light of the anticipated slower pitches, particularly in the US, Rohit and Kohli's partnership provides a combination of skill and experience. It does not, however, have the left-handed component that Jaiswal adds.2. The absence of Rinku Singh and Shubman Gill from the squad Shubman Gill is the leading run scorer in the 2023 IPL. His exclusion may come as a surprise at first, but a comparison of his T20 acceleration rates with Jaiswal's clarifies the choice. far if neither Jaiswal nor Gill are lighting up the IPL this year, Rinku Singh's absence is far more noticeable. Rinku's versatility in places and propensity to smash sixes would make his absence felt, especially in high-scoring chases like many IPL games. He has averaged 89 and struck rate of 176 in his 11 T20I innings for India. Gill and Rinku would have surely made the team if Virat and Rohit had both given up on T20 cricket. Time will tell whether or whether the3. Will SKY be able to show why he should be on the team? It makes no sense that the world's best men's T20I bowler is not in the World Cup team. According to the most recent results, Suryakumar Yadav is far ahead of second-placed Phil Salt, with a lead of 59 points. But SKY's form has been all over the place, even though he had a great hundred against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL. Also, memories of last year's 50-over World Cup are still very fresh, especially of the final, where SKY had a hard time against Australia's attack. If India chooses to start with Jaiswal and Rohit, SKY may be under more pressure because he won't get as many deliveries to get used to the ball since Kohli is set to bat at number three. Even so, if the 33-year-old finds

Motivated by Tarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma, Team Indias T20 World Cup Jersey Sets Off An Incredible Meme Festival
As the T20 World Cup 2024 gets underway in the United States and the West Indies, June 1st marks the beginning of India's journey towards winning its first ICC title in eleven years. On Monday, BCCI released India's jersey for the main event. The uniform that the team captained by Rohit Sharma wore at the 2023 ODI World Cup has undergone significant alteration. This time, orange and blue tones are very noticeable. But this new jersey has also sparked an internet meme frenzy, with some fans seeing comparisons to the well-known comedy series Taarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma.Fans shared some video from the program on X (previously Twitter) as soon as the jersey was released, showing the characters wearing very identical attire.On the official Adidas website, the jersey costs Rs 5999 for a standard size. It's interesting that travel from Delhi to Goa this month can be done for less money. The cost of tickets from Delhi to Goa was estimated by several well-known travel booking websites to be less than Rs 5500 in the upcoming month.Sportswear company Adidas used social media to give fans a first look at the official jersey. Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian cricket team, was shown in the video with Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja.The team led by Rohit Sharma will don the jersey in an attempt to end India's cricketing skid in ICC competitions. The last time India won the ICC Trophy was in 2013, while MS Dhoni's captaincy. Since then, India has been in the running for the Champions Trophy, the World Test Championship, the ODI World Cup, and the T20 World Cup, but has fallen short each time.
BCCI Sets "Only Condition" For Team India To Fly To Pakistan For Champions Trophy 2025
The last bilateral series between the two countries took place in India in December 2012–January 2013. Only at ICC events and the Asia Cup have the two countries faced off since then.Vice-President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Rajeev Shukla, stated that the Indian team will only travel to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy the next year if the permission of the national government is granted. The 2025 ICC Champions Trophy will take place in Pakistan in February and March of the following year. This occurs in the midst of rumors in the media that India would skip the tournament in Pakistan. India hasn't participated in any cricket competitions in Pakistan since the 2008 Asia Cup because of the hostile relations between the two countries brought on by terrorism.The last bilateral series between the two countries took place in India in December 2012–January 2013. Only at ICC events and the Asia Cup have the two countries faced off since then.Shukla stated to the ANI, "We will follow the Government of India's instructions about the Champion Trophy. Only with approval from the Indian government do we dispatch our team. Thus, we shall proceed in accordance with the Indian government's decision. "When hosting the Asia Cup last year, Pakistan was forced to employ a hybrid approach because all of India's games—including those against Pakistan—took place in Sri Lanka. Colombo hosted the tournament final, which India won. While Pakistan had made passing references to the idea of taking a hybrid strategy to the ODI World Cup in India the year before, it was never really considered. They ended up playing every game in India at five separate venues before they were eliminated in the group stages.As ESPNcricinfo revealed earlier in May, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided that Lahore will be the only venue for India matches for the Champions Trophy that Pakistan has been given for the upcoming year.Three locations—Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi—have been reserved by PCB to host the two-week Champions Trophy, according to ESPNcricinfo. The final will be held in Lahore, where all of India's games would be played according to their draft schedule.The concept of consolidating India into one location is rumored to have been proposed in order to minimize logistical and security risks associated with their journey. Additionally, because its headquarters are in Lahore, which is close to the Wagah border crossing between the two nations, it offers Indian fans a somewhat easy choice for where to come.Prior to this, PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi stated that the board had provided the ICC a draft schedule for the competition, which is anticipated to take place in mid-February of the following year. The eight participating members will debate it, with the India team's trip itinerary probably becoming the main cause of contention.
In Mumbai, Pandya transforms from the biggest opponent to the beloved figure once more.
Welcome to the Daily Review System, or DRS, a special section of our website. InsideSport will give you the best IPL stories from the previous day that you might have missed in the rush of your hectic schedule.At the Wankhede Stadium, the Mumbai Indians dominated Sunrisers Hyderabad by winning by seven wickets. It was a fantastic performance. Before this game, captain Hardik Pandya was off of form, but he settled into his bowling rhythm and took three wickets in an economical stint. In the run-chase, Suryakumar Yadav showed himself to be the ever-dependable player by persevering through the discomfort to get the team over the finish line.However, Rohit Sharma's dismal performance in the IPL 2024 carried over into the forthcoming T20 World Cup, raising doubts about his abilities. With their batting and bowling going awry on Monday, there wasn't much that went right for SRH. Because of the unpredictable nature of the Indian Premier League, it is difficult to forecast which side will win. In light of that, let's examine some of the captivating headlines from a thrilling match on Monday.Not long after the announcement of India's T20 World Cup roster, an odd trend started to take shape. Of course, it was more for the LOLs on WhatsApp groups and social media, but several players on that 15-man team started struggling in the 2024 Indian Premier League. In the games that followed the team announcement, Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh each allowed more than 50 runs, while Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, and Suryakumar Yadav fell cheaply while Hardik Pandya, Sanju Samson, and Shivam Dube all grabbed ducks. Jasprit Bumrah was the anomaly there too, much as he has been with the Mumbai Indians throughout the season.Up to Monday. Up until that point, Suryakumar's eight innings had seen him score a lackluster 232 runs. Then, against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he displayed his brilliant, classic boundary striking, dispelling all doubts about his form ahead of the T20 World Cup in 2024.It was before Suryakumar's fireworks that there was a true reversal of that World Cup-bound players' tendency, as Hardik claimed the best figures of the evening with 3 for 31. That demonstrated encouraging signals of his ability to take wickets, his level of fitness, and the potential that he may be the fifth bowler in the India XI when the World Cup rolls around next month. When India plays two spinners and two quicks, Hardik, who was a key player in the ODI World Cup six months prior, will be the third pace-bowling option and finisher in the Indian XI. Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar once said that there is "no replacement" for Hardik, thus his bowling form and fitness would have given him and the team management a great deal of confidence.Hardik bowled his allotted overs in three consecutive games on Monday, which is encouraging for the all-round player who returned to the game following a lengthy hiatus due to an ankle ailment. Hardik has taken seven wickets in those three games in all phases of the game: one during the powerplay, five during the middle overs (7-8), and one during the final overs (17–20). And he has accomplished this by using a range of deliveries from his arsenal, based on the hitters and the pitching conditions.He initially sent Sunil Narine back in the powerplay against Kolkata Knight Riders, and then he got rid of Manish Pandey by taking the pace off a cutter that the batsman misplayed to extra cover. A week ago, Hardik continued to aim for the hard length with a relatively fresh ball when bowling against the Lucknow Super Giants, causing KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda to misjudge their shots. But Hardik's three-for against SRH would have been even more satisfying because it helped MI win handily after four straight losses. As soon as the powerplay finished, Hardik entered the game and attempted to hit difficult lengths and get the ball to nip around.He remarked at the presentation, "I like bowling to the areas and seeing what the situation requires [me to do]." "If the wicket has grip, I do it, if not, like today, I tHe remarked at the presentation, "I like bowling to the areas and seeing what the situation requires [me to do]." "If the wicket has grip, I do it, if not, like today, I thought the ball was nipping around and bowling at the right areas would be a right option and I think it worked."hought the ball was nipping around and bowling at the right areas would be a right option and I think it worked."
Mumbai Indians respond to the est Jasprit Bumrah movement before the T20 World Cup, knowing that they will definitely be eliminated from the IPL in 2024.
The Mumbai Indians, who are in danger of losing, finally spoke up when asked if they intended to rest Jasprit Bumrah in light of the T20 World Cup.The Mumbai Indians are expected to make an immediate exit from the Indian Premier League in 2024, and supporters have been pleading with the team to rest important players like Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah before the T20 World Cup. With players like Rohit, Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, and Suryakumar Yadav expected to be major contributors for India at the Twenty20 World Cup, it is illogical to keep MI's star players going unless they want to extend their campaign, as they are currently bottom of the table with six points from 11 games.It won't be long before some of the top Indian players from the Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru board the first group of players—which includes the players who were eliminated—leave for the USA on May 21. Because of this, resting Bumrah, particularly at this stage, might be a win-win situation with three games left. Before his team's match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday, MI all-rounder Naman Dhir had a press conference. He disclosed that the fans' present way of thinking does not align with the MI think tank.As of right now, nothing like that is taking place. Though nothing of this like has been mentioned, the team management ultimately has the last say," he stated.The India quick's tie for the Purple Cap is one of the main reasons MI and Bumrah himself would be eager to continue. Bumrah and Punjab Kings' Harshal Patel are tied at 17 wickets apiece, but both teams are expected to end the season soon. This is true even if Bumrah hasn't typically started MI's bowling matches. With the exception of a few matches in which he was thoroughly outclassed for runs, Bumrah's IPL experience has been really pleasant. Just what India needed to give herself a boost.
Jasprit Bumrah and Kapil Dev turn teammates for Tata IPL 2024 on JioCinema
JioCinema recently debuted MS Dhoni in a dual role for their first TATA IPL 2024 campaign. As part of their new campaign, TV Dekho Toh Aise, Kapil Dev and Jasprit Bumrah are now featured in two films. The most recent JioCinema film slate is concentrated on the Connected TV offering, which caters to fans who want to watch the TATA IPL both on a big screen and digitally.

On March 22, 2024, TATA IPL 2024 will kick off on JioCinema with the southern derby between MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. The two elite cricket players' chats are peppered with witty quips directed at one another, all in good humor, in these banter-filled Chrome Pictures videos. In the first movie, Bumrah is absorbed in watching the TATA IPL on his phone when Kapil Dev walks in and strikes up a discussion with him. When Bumrah turns on a connected TV and starts streaming the same video Bumrah was watching, Kapil challenges him and claims superiority over the way his generation watches the TATA IPL. In keeping with the same theme, the second movie starring the pair goes one step further by talking about the possibility of viewing the TATA IPL in 4K, with the freedom to select important moments and camera angles. "Connected TV viewers are a rapidly growing subset within the digital universe, while there is no doubt that India has gone digital in the way it watches the TATA IPL or any other live sport," a Viacom18 spokesperson stated. "Our films starring Kapil Dev and Jasprit Bumrah emphasize that the TATA IPL can be watched for free on Connected TV with premium features, as well as conveniently on a mobile device with flexibility." The intense competition's thrill is replicated on a large screen, giving the audience total control over the excellent viewing experience. We would like cricket lovers to witness firsthand how JioCinema is revolutionizing the television viewing experience and, as a result, the campaign's "TV Dekho Toh Aise" line.
Greatness of Virat Kohli Has Been Reduced": Harbhajan Singhs Huge IPL 2024 Warning
The MA Chidambaram Stadium in this city continues to be a peak that the Royal Challengers Bangalore hitter has yet to reach for the relentless run machine that is Virat Kohli. Kohli has amassed 7263 runs from 237 matches, seven hundreds, and a strike average of 130, setting him apart from the other players in the IPL. However, at the Chepauk, where he averages just thirty and has a strike-rate of eleven1, that dominance wanes. In light of this, former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh stated that Kohli must put up a stronger effort when RCB takes on the reigning champion Chennai Super Kings in the opening IPL game of the season on March 22 at the Chepauk.In terms of his overall performance at that location, Virat's greatness has diminished. It's a challenging place to bat, particularly when you're the opening batsman up against a strange bounce similar to a tennis ball.The legendary Ravindra Jadeja bowls stump to stump for them (CSK). He's going to turn the oddball, then make it stay low. It's quite difficult," Harbhajan stated to Star Sports. In fact, Harbhajan stated that Kohli will need to find a way to bat longer because the star batsman has been out of the game three times in his last five innings against CSK due to Power Plays.A match-winning performance is possible if he is truly ready to bat for roughly 20 overs, as two hundreds at the easily accessible Chinnaswamy do not always translate to the same at Chepauk "said the man. Kohli has a mediocre record against the Super Kings and has yet to score an IPL century at Chepauk. In 30 games, the 35-year-old has amassed 985 runs against CSK, with a career-high of 90.The former CSK player Harbhajan stated that in order for RCB to have a genuine chance of winning the elusive IPL title, Kohli needed to get back to his 2016 form. "It is crucial that he has a season similar to 2016 because the team will advance if Virat continues to score runs. I'm not sure if they'll end up winning the cup. "But I think they have a lot of good batting because of the brilliant players they have on the team, including Virat, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, and a few others like Patidar. and everybody hopes Virat can repeat his success from 2016," he continued.
Once again, Shreyas Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane fall short, but Shardul Thakur, the leader, seizes the initiative.
On the first day of the Ranji Trophy final, veteran duo Shreyas Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane's run drought persisted, but Shardul Thakur's versatility as an all-rounder enabled hosts Mumbai to rally against a brave Vidarbha. In addition to giving Mumbai's below-average first innings score of 224 some semblance of respectability with a counterpunching 75 off just 69 balls, Thakur also removed veteran opener Dhruv Shorey (0) with an angular delivery that gave him a favourable DRS result. Atharva Taide (21 not out) and night watchman Aditya Thakare at the crease meant that Vidarbha were 31/3 at stumps, needing another 193 runs to close the first innings. Medium pacer Dhawal Kulkarni, in his final first-class match of his career, bowled his usual late outswingers, with Test triple centurion Karun Nair (0) and Aman Mokhade (8) nicking it to Hardik Tamore behind stumps. The 41-time champions fell from 81/0 to 111/6 on either side of the lunch break in a stunning collapse that saw Mumbai's top players, Rahane and Iyer, dismissed for identical scores of 7. Despite his leadership prowess, Rahane's awful Ranji Trophy career continued when the Mumbai captain played a meek game to mid-on and was removed just when his team needed him to take the field.Rahane was a contender to reclaim his place in the national team around this time last year, but as things stand, it's unclear if Mumbai selectors will stick with the 35-year-old for the upcoming campaign, regardless of the outcome of this final. Iyer, who was out of favor and had to work hard to get back into the national conversation, was unable to save Mumbai from disaster once more because of his subpar technique. Umesh Yadav (2/43 in 13.3 overs) was as reckless as he could be during the morning session, splattering the new ball everywhere and primarily drifting on the pads of openers Prithvi Shaw and Bhupen Lalwani. Though he kept running out of partners, Thakur showed deft use of both hands and feet to inch closer to what would have been his second consecutive ton. After scoring an incredible 75 off just 69 balls with eight fours and three sixes, Thakur was the final batter to be dismissed. He was caught by the man at deep square leg. The trio of Shams Mulani (13), Tanush Kotian (8), and Tushar Deshpande (14)—who helped Mumbai win multiple times by scoring valuable runs—also fell for a pittance.
When Kuldeep Yadav bowls, it’s like a chess mehfil at the town square
Kanpur wrist-spinner rips up English batting in a 15-over performance for five wickets. Kuldeep Yadav's obliging teammates would gather around him and caress his thick mop of brownish hair every time he took a wicket. The wrist-spinner from Kanpur proved to be his team's rescue on a firm, brownish true track that proved difficult for pacers and finger-spinners to get wickets. Kuldeep Yadav made it clear to the world on a typically overcast English morning that this was not Ben Stokes and his men's home away from home, at a stadium that had more Barmy Army flags than Tricolours. His 5/72 figures showcased his wide repertory, which includes numerous stock balls in addition to numerous modifications and adaptations. England's 218 all out first innings total proved once again that Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma's India can destroy foreign teams for little money even without the use of pitch alteration. Additionally, Kuldeep's unaltered 15-over spell—during which England surged from 55/0 to 179/6—confirmed the numerous match-winning players that Rohit's side has produced. Should Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Ravichandran Ashwin fail to make the breakthrough, the man from Kanpur's deceit and slyness remain a viable option. The most notable of Kuldeep's first-day dismissals was when he stumped England's number three. Pope Ollie. It demonstrated how everyone in the vicinity of the bat participates in spin bowling as a community activity. It reminds me of those unofficial chess games in town squares where bystanders feel obligated to burrow down over the board and offer advice to the players. When the ball is in the hands of Kuldeep, the wristspinner who piques the interest of all his accomplices and transforms into the sniper who follows instructions to the letter, the talk increases in volume and frequency. Zak Crawley, the opener, had danced down the track to hit Ashwin for a six over the sightscreen only one over before Pope was out. Lunch was only a few minutes away, but apparently Bazballers don't follow the minutes on a clock. In his brief visit, Pope had remained primarily in the fold. The close-in fielders exchanged knowing glances. In just his third Test match, young wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel would soon say something that would go viral. "Aage badhne waala hai (He is about to step out)" will be heard over the stump mic to Kuldeep. Pulling back his length, Kuldeep would bowl the wrong 'un, the spin-tribe's go-to counterbalance, to anyone racing out of the crease.

One of the main attractions of what ended up being an interesting Test between the two was his bowling skills. sides. But in the end, India prevailed despite his efforts, taking a 3-1 lead in the five-match series with one Test remaining to be played.

Session every session, England's team has appeared more improved. We don't play series today to win them, but I'm saying looked like a better team,"" Vaughan continued. "
