. Star batter Virat Kohli was on Monday named the ICC Men's Player of the Month for October following a series of stellar performances during India's charge to the T20 World Cup semifinals in Australia.

. The crucial Andheri East bypolls, the first electoral fight after Shiv Sena's split was a cakewalk for the Uddhav Thackeray group. However, a gigantic task now awaits the party: Maharashtra’s local bodies elections, including India's financial capital Mumbai.
