At one point during the sixth over in Christchurch on Thursday, a target of 226 no longer looked daunting. Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma had put on 93 runs in the first 35 balls, leaving New Zealand’s new-ball plans in tatters @crlmaratrick ✍️ hindustantimes.com/cricket/c…

#HTNumberTheory | Logical discrepancies in SIR: Decoding the data The logical discrepancy criteria did not exist during the Bihar SIR. It first attracted attention when the process was underway in West Bengal. West Bengal is also the only state where electors flagged under this category continue to face adjudication and cannot vote. This has made logical discrepancy notices a big flashpoint in the ongoing SIR debate. Not all states have published detailed data on logical discrepancies, although some in the third phase of SIR have done so. These include Delhi, Telangana, Karnataka and Uttarakhand.

#HTNumberTheory | The logical discrepancies ECI has been flagging in the mapping with the last SIR are a standard list of eight in the data analysed by HT: "Parent Name Mismatch", "Self Name Mismatch", "Parent Age Difference <15", "Parent Age difference >50", "Grandparent Age difference <40", "Progeny>=6", "Parent Marked ineligible in Last SIR" and "Progeny age gap < 9 month". The rest of this analysis summarises these as "name mismatch", "unusual age difference", "six or more children", and "mapping ineligible in last SIR". Data shows that the first two reasons are flagged the most, accounting for 5-19% for the draft roll, except in Karnataka, where the numbers are around 2%. Having six or more children accounted for 0.3% of the draft roll in Karnataka to 2.5% in Uttarakhand, while the mapping itself being ineligible was the case for a negligible fraction. To be sure, these numbers must be read with the fact that people could be flagged for one or more of these categories, as HT reported for Delhi on September 21 To read the full story 🔗 hindustantimes.com/editors-p… (✍️@naalmot) 🗞️ For in-depth reporting: epaper.hindustantimes.com 📩 Subscribe now: bit.ly/2QAOH22 📲 For News on the go, Download HT app👇 hindustantimes.com/downloada…

#HTNumberTheory | Despite a large fraction of the people in the draft roll being issued notices, Uttarakhand's final roll was still larger than the draft roll by 0.4%. The final SIR roll in all other states was also larger than the draft roll, except in West Bengal and Goa. Unlike other states, where ECI officers address and resolve logical discrepancies before the publication of the final SIR roll, logical discrepancies in West Bengal continue to be adjudicated by judicial officers even after the publication of an interim "final roll", which led to around 2.71 million people being excluded from voting in the 2026 assembly elections To read the full story 🔗 hindustantimes.com/editors-p… (✍️@naalmot) 🗞️ For in-depth reporting: epaper.hindustantimes.com 📩 Subscribe now: bit.ly/2QAOH22 📲 For News on the go, Download HT app👇 hindustantimes.com/downloada…

Unshackled India turn 225 into target practice For India, New Zealand chose to reserve their best. Glenn Phillips turned it on with an unbeaten 40-ball 82, Finn Allen carved 45 off 24 balls, before Bevon Jacobs left India high and dry with 31 off 16. But evidently, even 225 wasn’t enough as India orchestrated a fascinating chase in the first T20I at Christchurch to ride into the record books. Primarily because Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma responded by treating this target as an invitation to attack. So spectacular was their unshackled batting that even a middle-order collapse could not derail a chase completed with two balls to spare.
