| The new playing condition rules laid down by the ICC left Indian and Australian cricketers confused after it was applied in the rain-hit first Twenty20 International. The rules also state that if a game is reduced to less than 10 overs, the maximum quota of overs per bowler shall not be less than two: meaning in a six-over match, three bowlers will be able to bowl two overs each. Australian opener Aaron Finch said it was strange that the rules were “mixed and matched” for the T20I series, while his Indian counterpart Shikhar Dhawan too admitted of being “unaware” of the changes. |

This ability gave me the strength to serve the motherland with dedication over these many years,” he said. |
| Tamil Nadu minister Vellamandi Natarajan said he did not see late chief minister Jayalalithaa during her hospitalisation last year. “I did not see Amma (Jayalalithaa) when she was in the Apollo Hospital.
