Saha’s groin injury, which ruled him out of the eliminator, might also keep him out of the second qualifier. “We have faith in (Shreevats) Goswami. He has been around for some time and we need to give confidence,” said Holder, whose 13 wickets in six games along with crucial middle- order contributions, has been the ‘x factor’ for his side. Rashid Khan’s parsimo- nious economy rate of less than six runs per over, the unherald- ed T Natarajan’s subtle varia- tions and Sandeep Sharma’s ability to get some swing upfront only add to the strengths of Warner’s team. For the Capitals however, the weak spots which they can exploit is the inexperience of two middle-order players — Priyam Garg and Abdul Samad — who are playing some of the biggest matches of their nascent careers. In the event Capitals make early inroads, it will be a test of character for the young but tal- ented duo. Daniel Sams’ poor show with the ball so far is a concern for the Capitals and they might explore the option of bringing back Shimron Hetmyer in place of the left-arm seamer, which will also add some batting fire- power. In that case, Marcus Stoinis might have to bowl his full quota of overs alongside Rabada, Nortje, Ashwin and Axar Patel.

ndia is a land of stories. The tales from our ancient past have been told and re-told over mil- lennia in different ways and forms. We have heard them from Ielders; seen them depicted in art through the devotional scrolls of Pichwai and Phad; experienced their enthralling rendition in Ram Leela or Kathakali; and even watched them come alive in festivals such as Dahi Handi. Modern historical figures such as Rani Lakshmi Bai, too, have become a part of our storytelling traditions. Indeed, our sense of history, cultural and moral sensibilities have been shaped by our indigenous stories. The legends of the heroes and heroines have inspired us through our growing- up years.    Along with the various oral story- telling traditions in India, the written format has also existed for centuries. Long before the printing press came to the country, Indians have been pre- serving their stories on birch or palm leaf manuscripts. Panchatantra, one of the most ancient fables in the world has been found preserved in both the ancient manuscripts and also 18th century hand-written paper versions with colourful illustrations. In contem- porary times, old stories from Vedic and Puranic literature continue to inform, entertain and educate us as they adapt to new forms and mediums. Hinduism with a huge pantheon of revered characters and universally rel- evant themes provides artists and writ- ers with enormous creative fodder. It is also the only major religion in the world that allows great freedom in artistic representations of its Gods. The inherent liberalism of Indic thought not just accepts, but also encourages new expression. The breadth and brilliance of its texts also lend well to fantastical adaptations in illustrated mediums. It is not surpris- ing therefore that these tales were the springboard that catapulted the Indian comic industry to popularity and suc- cess for almost three decades from 1960s onwards.     have created an impact, especially America’s biggest comic book company lion-person mobile market as they take In recent years, comic books have those that exemplify individual was an early mover and launched its their stories directly to smartphones.     seen a resurgence.
