IPL 2026: Boost For RCB As Opener Phil Salt Set To Rejoin Squad Later This Week
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: In a timely boost for defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), opener Phil Salt is set to return to India later this week after spending a month back home on the sidelines due to a finger injury. Salt, 29, injured a finger on his left hand while diving to save a boundary during RCB's defeat to Delhi Capitals in an afternoon clash at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 18. He then flew home to recover and spend time with his young family. But now, as per a report from ESPNCricinfo, Salt is set to come back to India and rejoin RCB. It remains to be seen if Salt will be available to play in RCB's final league-stage match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday, but they are unlikely to take any risks so close to the playoffs, further said the report. In his absence, RCB have already secured qualification for the playoffs and are wellplaced to reach Qualifier 1, to be played at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala next Tuesday, barring a significant dent to their net run rate. Salt had provided a significant spark at the top of the order for RCB by amassing 202 runs across six innings at an impressive strike rate of 168.33 before the finger injury forced him out of the lineup. In his absence, his England teammate Jacob Bethell has partnered with Virat Kohli at the top of the batting order. But Bethell has struggled to make an impact, amassing only 96 runs in seven innings with a highest score of 27.

GoCredit's TARA AI Labs Releases BASIC: India's First AI Engine for Credit Score Improvement
For decades, Indias credit system has worked one way. It judges you, gives you a number, and walks away. Your credit score is 580. Youve been rejected for the loan you needed. Nobody tells you why. Nobody tells you how to fix it. You read generic advice online. You ask a relative. You guess. Skip the guesswork and let GoCredit AI map out your personalized, high-impact path to an excellent credit score Today, that changes. GoCredits deep-tech research division TARA AI Labs has released BASIC Behavioural Analytics for Score Improvement in Credit. It is an AI engine built to do something no Indian credit tool has done before: read your actual credit report and tell you, specifically, what to do next. Not generic tips. A personal plan, built from your own credit data, that shows exactly which actions will move your score, by how much, and in what order. The full framework is published as a research paper at taralabs.ai/paper/basic-paper. To our knowledge, it is the first research paper in India to treat credit score improvement as its own machine learning problem. The paper introduces a new field of study Behavioural Credit Analytics focused on turning AI insight into measurable consumer benefit. The 300 Million Indians the System Forgot India has over 300 million credit-active consumers. Most of them sit in the middle. Not chronic defaulters. Not prime borrowers. They sit in a near-prime band where a 50-point swing in their credit score is the difference between a loan at 12% and a loan at 22%. The difference between approval and rejection. The difference between buying a two-wheeler this month or waiting another year. These are gig workers in Bengaluru. Self-employed shopkeepers in Indore. Salaried professionals in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities whose financial lives dont fit the templates that credit scoring models were built for. They check their score every month on an app. They see the number. They feel the weight of it. And they have nowhere to turn for a real plan. Credit scores answer one question well where are you? They were never designed to answer the next one: how do you move? We see this every day. People come to us with scores of 580, 620, 650 not because theyre irresponsible, but because nobody has shown them how to move. Until BASIC, nobody was giving these borrowers a real, personalised plan to fix their financial future. Thats what we set out to change, said Anupam Acharya, Co-founder and CEO of GoCredit . Whats Different About BASIC Until now, an Indian consumer with a low credit score had three options. Generic advice from public websites. Paid credit counsellors who couldnt see their actual report. Rule-based simulators that gave the same answer to everyone, regardless of profile. None of these produced a real, personal plan. None of them could tell a specific borrower with a specific credit profile what to do, in what order, to gain the most points in the least time. That is what BASIC does and as far as we know, no one has done it before in India. So what makes BASIC work? Most credit models look only at where you are today. BASIC looks at where you are, where youve been, and how fast youre moving for every part of your credit profile. Trained on the credit histories of more than a million Indian borrowers over four years, BASIC can predict your next-month credit score with an average error of just 16 points. On the 300900 credit score scale, that is under 2.2% off. Standard deep-learning models trained on the same data are about four times less accurate. , said Pranav Murali, Co-founder and Lead AI Engineer at GoCredit . Already Used by Over 2 Lakh Indians This is not a research preview. BASIC is already live on the GoCredit Android app, where it powers a feature called Credit Score Boost used by over 2 lakh Indians so far. Among the 50,000 monthly active paying subscribers, 10,000 one in five have improved their credit scores by 50 points or more within two months of actively following BASICs recommendations. For these 10,000 borrowers, that 50-point gain is not abstract. For someone near the prime threshold, it can be the difference between a loan rejection and an approval. It can mean an EMI at 12% instead of 22%. For many, it is the first time their credit score has moved in their favour in years and the first time anyone has shown them how to make it happen. We meet borrowers every day who tell us theyve been trying to fix their score for two or three years and getting nowhere. Two months later they show us their app and the number has moved up by 60, 70, 80 points. That moment when a borrower realises theyre not stuck, that the system isnt a black box anymore thats why we built this , said Anupam Acharya, Co-founder and CEO of GoCredit . Now Opening to Lenders: The ScoreBoost API TARA AI Labs is also announcing today that the same engine is now available to financial institutions through the ScoreBoost API. The API is live with select pilot partners. For the first time, a lender selling a loan, credit card, or BNPL product can show a borrower right at the point of sale how that product will affect their credit score over the next 6 to 12 months. A consumer comparing two credit cards can see, before signing up, which one is more likely to help their score and which one might hurt it. A lender offering a secured loan can show the borrower exactly how the product fits into their improvement journey. Indian lenders today sell loans without showing customers the consequence on their credit profile. That information asymmetry has been one of the most under-discussed problems in retail lending. ScoreBoost API closes it. A lender can integrate our engine and tell a borrower: here is what this product will do to your credit score. It changes the conversation from do you qualify? to is this the right product for where youre trying to go? , said Shubham Arawkar, Co-founder and CTO of GoCredit . ScoreBoost API is currently in pilot with select NBFCs and digital lending platforms. Broader availability will be announced later in 2026. Privacy and Regulatory Architecture BASIC works only on consumer-consented credit data, accessed through official APIs under the consumer-initiated credit information report framework of the Credit Information Companies (Regulation) Act, 2005. All data handling also complies with Indias Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. No bank account access, no SMS reading, no invasive data collection by design. BASIC is deployed strictly as a consumer-facing advisory system. Its outputs are not routed through any production pathway into GoCredits lending decisions, underwriting models, or partner lenders scoring engines. The advisory model and the lending stack are operationally separated systems. A model trained to help consumers improve their scores shouldnt simultaneously be used to judge them. We enforce that separation operationally BASICs outputs have no production pathway into any lending decision engine, ours or anyone elses, said Shubham Arawkar, Co-founder and CTO of GoCredit .

The accused was convicted in a case registered in April 2023. The NIA had filed a chargesheet in October 2023 against him and co-accused Mohammad Arif, whose trial is still underway.
