Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah Lays Foundation Stone For 2nd Largest Cricket Stadium In Bengaluru
Housing Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said on Saturday that the state government has taken a major step towards the overall development of Bengaluru by initiating the construction of an international-standard cricket stadium at Suryanagar near the city, which he added would boost sports, tourism, employment generation and economic growth. Speaking after inaugurating and laying foundation stones for multiple housing and infrastructure projects organised jointly by the Housing Department and the Karnataka Housing Board (KHB) at Suryagram, the Chief Minister added that the project reflects the state government's long-term development vision. Referring to the stadium in Gujarat with a seating capacity of around 90,000, Siddaramaiah said Karnataka's proposed stadium would become the second-largest in the country. He added that the stadium would help accelerate tourism growth, improve the local economy of surrounding villages, and create employment opportunities. The Chief Minister said the stadium would be constructed entirely using KHB funds without any financial assistance from the state government. He cited estimates suggesting that KHB could generate nearly Rs 20,000 crore through the sale of its vacant residential sites. The event included the foundation stone laying ceremony for the international cricket stadium, launch of the Chief Minister's Namma Mane housing scheme, foundation stone laying for the Suryashine and Surya Divine residential complexes, and symbolic distribution of housing sites to landowners who had provided land for the housing project. Siddaramaiah added that the Housing Department and KHB, which had so far focused mainly on housing construction, have now ventured into building an 80,000-seat international stadium, calling it a significant milestone in the state's development plans. He praised KHB Chairman and MLA Shivalingegowda and Housing Minister B.Z. Zameer Ahmed Khan for their efforts in taking up the project. Every individual dreams of having a roof over their head. With land prices rising sharply, KHB is providing affordable housing sites for poor and middle-class families, the Chief Minister said.

IPL 2026: Two Steps Away From What We Have Manifested From Day One, Says Krunal Pandya
Defending Champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Despite a 55-run defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their final league fixture, Defending Champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) concluded the league stage at the top of the points table with 18 points and a superior net run rate, ending the league phase strongly ahead of the playoffs. The match also saw captain Rajat Patidar register his fourth half-century of the season, while Virat Kohli extended his record for the most 50-plus partnerships in mens T20 cricket with 211 stands. Bhuvneshwar Kumar also continued to lead the Purple Cap standings with 24 wickets this season. Reflecting on the team's achievement of finishing at the top of the table, Krunal Pandya said, It's not just today's game, but it's actually the effort we have put in for the last two and a half months. Obviously the result didn't go our way, but this was our first goal and to achieve that after 14 games is a pretty satisfying feeling. Now we are two steps away from what we all have manifested from day one of the start of the season. Krunal also put in a valuable all-round contribution against SRH, scoring 41 off 31 balls and picking up the crucial wicket of Heinrich Klaasen at an important stage of the innings. They had the experience of bowling on this ground and executed their slower balls really well. Getting Klaasen's wicket was crucial and I am happy with the way I was able to contribute. But at the end of the day, what matters is that golden trophy. That is the goal. RCB Head Coach Andy Flower praised the team's consistency throughout a highly competitive league campaign. To finish top of the league at the end of the group stage is a great effort. There are 10 very good teams in this competition and we've seen how competitive every side has been. Even teams lower down the table have shown how dangerous they can be when they play with freedom. Venkatesh Iyer provided RCB with an aggressive start at the top of the order, smashing 44 runs off just 19 deliveries and setting the tone early in the chase. In a big tournament, to be top of the table shows what we've achieved as a team. There is constant pressure in a tournament like the IPL and you've got to enjoy the small victories as well. This is one achievement that the entire team is going to cherish and it gives us confidence heading into the playoffs. Devdutt Padikkal emphasized the importance of carrying the team's momentum into the knockout stages. In a big tournament, to be top of the table shows what we've achieved as a team.

SRH's Batting Dominance At Home Is Their Biggest Strength: Sehwag
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Former India opener Virender Sehwag hailed Sunrisers Hyderabads explosive batting approach at home after their commanding 55-run win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a high-scoring IPL 2026 clash in Hyderabad on Friday night. SRH piled up a massive 255/4 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, powered by blistering knocks from Ishan Kishan (79 off 46), Abhishek Sharma (56 off 22) and Heinrich Klaasen (51 off 24). In reply, RCB were restricted to 200/4 despite fighting contributions from Rajat Patidar, Krunal Pandya and Venkatesh Iyer. Analysing SRHs dominance at home, Sehwag said their ability to post daunting first-innings totals has become their biggest weapon and pointed out that SRH raised the bar even further against RCB by posting 255, leaving the visitors under scoreboard pressure from the outset. SRH's batting dominance at home is their biggest strength. When they win the toss and bat first, they are at their best. They have consistently put up 230 to 240 runs on the board. That kind of total puts immediate pressure on the chasing team. Against RCB, they went even higher, posting 255. That made the chase extremely tough from the very first over. RCB came out with the intent to go after the target, but everyone knew that if the powerplay didn't go their way, the match would be in SRH's control, Sehwag told JioStar RCB began aggressively through Venkatesh Iyers quickfire 44 off 19 balls, but the wickets of Iyer, Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal after the powerplay tilted the contest firmly in Hyderabads favour. And that is exactly what happened. Once RCB lost wickets after the end of the powerplay, the required rate kept climbing, and the game slipped away. On flat tracks, setting a massive total and then letting the scoreboard pressure do the rest has become SRH's signature move at home, he added. Sehwag also weighed in on Venkatesh Iyers impressive form and the selection dilemma it has created for RCB ahead of their upcoming matches, saying, Venkatesh Iyer is at his best when batting in the top order. He played his best knocks for KKR in that position. For RCB, he hasn't had many chances at his preferred spot. The former opener referenced Iyers recent performances, including a match-winning 73 against the Punjab Kings and his attacking start against SRH But when Rajat Patidar was injured, he came in at number four against Punjab and played a match-winning 73. Then against SRH, he opened the innings and played a quickfire 44, giving RCB the start they needed in a 256-run chase, he stated. With Phil Salt nearing full fitness, Sehwag believes RCB now face a positive selection headache but made it clear who he would leave out. But when Rajat Patidar was injured, he came in at number four against Punjab and played a match-winning 73.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score Backing Iyers aggressive intent at the top, Sehwag added, Iyer's intent against Hyderabad was spot on. When chasing 256, you need that kind of positive start, and he delivered. I wouldn't drop Iyer from the opening slot. Instead, I would replace Jitesh Sharma with Phil Salt. Jitesh is not in great form, and RCB have taken bold decisions before. If Salt has to come back, Jitesh should make way. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: 'At No. 3 He Is Playing A Very Vital Role For SRH', Says Irfan Pathan On Kishan
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: After wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan powered Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to a convincing 55-run victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in a run-fest IPL 2026 match in Hyderabad on Friday, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan praised the keeper-batter for developing into a more complete batter. Kishan slammed a stunning 79 off 46 deliveries at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, guiding SRH to a massive 255/4 before restricting RCB to 200/4. Speaking on JioHotstar, Pathan said Kishan's responsible batting at No. 3 has become one of the strengths of SRH this season. The improvement that Ishan Kishan has shown throughout the season and the way he has taken responsibility on different surfaces and in different match situations... Now at No. 3 he is playing a very vital role for Sunrisers Hyderabad and looked like a much complete batter said Pathan. Pathan pointed out Kishan's progress against spin bowling, an area where he earlier struggled: He has been phenomenal against spin, especially on the off-side, and the minute you add that with his strength through the on-side, it's extremely difficult to contain him and at one point in the innings, he looked in complete control. SRH's innings was built on explosive hitting right from the start, as Abhishek Sharma smashed 56 off just 22 deliveries in the Powerplay and Travis Head contributed with a 16-ball 26. While Kishan held the innings together in the middle overs, Heinrich Klaasen took over to blast a rapid-fire 51 off just 24 deliveries to further accelerate the scoring. Pathan singled out Klaasen's innings for his ability to identify Josh Hazlewood's vulnerability and attack him aggressively: What stood out in Heinrich Klaasen's innings was his awareness to the situation of the game and he identified a bowler in Josh Hazlewood that was feeling the pressure and Josh hasn't been at his best in the last couple of games, so Heinrich Klaasen jumped at it. The former India bowler believes Klaasen's ability to capitalize on Hazlewood's mistakes was a clear sign of his current form: There were certain deliveries which were below Josh Hazlewood's standards and in particular those full tosses and half volleys which he dispatched away very well but you still needed a batter in sublime form to hit those shots. The match also witnessed a heated exchange between Virat Kohli and Travis Head during RCB's chase and Pathan believes such incidents are natural during intense contests: Virat Kohli loves playing cricket with that aggressive Australian way of being intense, with banter, with competitiveness and with emotion out there on the field and at that time, he was challenging Travis Head to come out and bowl few balls for not staying as a substituted fielder. The former India bowler believes Klaasen's ability to capitalize on Hazlewood's mistakes was a clear sign of his current form: There were certain deliveries which were below Josh Hazlewood's standards and in particular those full tosses and half volleys which he dispatched away very well but you still needed a batter in sublime form to hit those shots.

IPL 2026: The Game Is On Winning The Game To Top The League Table, Says RCB's Flower
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Andy Flower said the batters at Royal Challengers Bengaluru left it up to them whether they chose to chase the score or just defend their net run rate against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the high scoring loss on Friday which still saw RCB secure the top of the IPL 2026 league table. Although RCB went on to lose the contest by 55 runs on Friday evening whilst chasing down 255 for the win it was still 200/4 sufficient enough for the team to still be above Gujarat Titans and SRH on the table with a better net run rate securing them top of the league table and a direct shot at qualifier 1. We were in a position where we could have kept pushing to chase down 255 but ultimately we got the job done and topped the league. It is quite a difficult position to be put in, when you have got these conflicting things at play, he said. The game is on winning the game to top the league table. Flower further explained how he and his players carefully weighed up their qualification scenario during the innings break, We did discuss the various targets that could be achieved. So I think we needed 166 to confirm top two and 179 to confirm top of the table with clearly 255 to get for the win. I thought Venky [Iyer] batted exceptionally well to start us off and get us going, And we wanted the batsmen to get a feel for the surface out there and make that decision, for themselves about whether they felt they could chase down 255 or 180. The total amassed by Sunrisers of 255/4 came as a result of some exceptional innings from Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen and the total of 200/4 for Royal Challengers, that still kept them above their rivals on the table came from a superb 44 from 19 balls for Venky Iyer and a half-century for captain Rajat Patidar. The praised for Venkatesh from Flower knew no bounds, especially given the limited opportunity he has had throughout this season, I have got a lot of respect for Venky, he explained. He has been waiting patiently for his opportunity and when it came, in either of the roles as an Impact Player where we have really needed some extra batsmen at the death because of a difficult start we have had to the innings or both games where we have now given him an opportunity in Dharamsala batting at number four and here opening the innings he has gone on to take them and that is why he deserves his opportunity. The coach spoke of the great attitude and professionalism that the seasoned pro has shown during the course of the season, I have a lot of respect for a man that has played a lot of IPL cricket and for India and was sitting on the side for three or four weeks and not being given a chance. He has been out in that dugout and there hasn't been a change in his disposition and every single practice session has been worked very, very hard at, his bowling, his fielding and his batting and it has just been exemplary to be brutally honest, Flower concluded. The later part of the evening also saw the surface slow down significantly making for harder work on the balls with good length and slow spin. It was exactly the surface that SRH expected though when opting to bat first with coach Daniel Vettori explaining, I think it was exactly how we anticipated and that's exactly why we batted first, Vettori said. I think it was like a Punjab wicket in the sense that you could score loads but like that Punjab game RCB had put dropped a lot of catches that allowed us to really overperform with the total as opposed to what it looked like. But you felt 200 to 220 should have been a very good total at that surface. The later part of the evening also saw the surface slow down significantly making for harder work on the balls with good length and slow spin.

IPL 2026: 'They've Been Fantastic,' Says Cummins On Sakib And Malinga
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Pat Cummins praised Eshan Malinga and Sakib Hussain after Sunrisers Hyderabad won decisively by 55 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The SRH captain said he had learned a lot from how the young bowlers performed throughout IPL 2026. Malinga and Sakib played vital roles in SRHs bowling on Friday night. During the powerplay, they combined for three overs and took one wicket each, disrupting RCBs early momentum after Venkatesh Iyer gave the visitors a strong start. They used a variety of slower deliveries and finished with combined figures of 8-0-64-3, helping to defend SRHs total of 255 for 4. They've been fantastic, Cummins said after the match. I've actually learned a lot from those guys. The way Eshan's bowled all season, especially in that powerplay, makes him the form bowler of the competition. He's been mixing up his slower balls and different deliveries, and of course, Sakib's been great too. Its a captains dream. Malinga is now SRHs leading wicket-taker this season, with 19 wickets in 14 matches. Debutant Sakib has also impressed, taking 15 wickets in just 10 games. Their steady performances have been key to SRHs surge into the playoffs. The win left SRH tied on 18 points with Gujarat Titans and RCB, but their net run rate kept them from finishing in the top two. SRH needed to limit RCB to below 166 to move ahead, but Cummins recognized that the conditions in Hyderabad made that target tough.

ASBL Shares the Stage with CM Revanth Reddy at Way2News Conclave on Hyderabad's Real Estate Future
A brand new 30,000-acre city. Three bullet trains. A trillion-dollar economy by 2034. That is the kind of Hyderabad, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is building and he laid it all out, in plain words, at the Way2News Conclave this week. Ajitesh Korupolu, CEO and founder of ASBL with CM Revanth Reddy at Way2News conclave Top political leaders, policy makers, and creators gathered to map out the state's future. Right at the centre of the conversation was ASBL, a key part of the conclave from start to finish, joining the panel discussions, backing the event's vision, and standing out as one of the strongest voices on Hyderabad's growth story. By the close of the evening, ASBL was also awarded with ' Most Innovative Builder of the Decade .' But the spotlight, fittingly, stayed on the CM, who used the stage to lay out exactly where Telangana is heading. On Hyderabad's real estate, the CM spoke with absolute confidence. He made it clear that while the market has shown a lot of progress, it has barely scratched the surface of its true potential. The city is ready to move at a much faster pace. While global shifts like changing economies or the rise of AI are altering how people work and live, Hyderabad is built to handle it. Over the last seven years, the city's real estate has only moved upward, a fact strongly backed by official reports from the CAG, NITI Aayog, and the GST department. For the CM, this past growth is just a small preview; the real story is the massive, untapped future that Hyderabad is now ready to unlock. When asked about the apparent slowdown in the current real estate market and investments, the CM addressed the online noise directly. He stated simply " people putting investment into propaganda, writing lies themselves and believing them ." Pointing to the Financial District, he said, the area has become a major global hub because the government focused on providing top-tier infrastructure, allowing private builders to do what they do best and creating a space where top global companies want to invest. Today, nearly 10 lakh people work there. Highlighting the incredible demand in the micro-market, he noted that land in nearby Raidurg's Knowledge Park recently sold for a record INR 184 crore per acre. The lesson, he said, is simple: the governments core job is to deliver excellent foundational infrastructure like the metro, high-speed highways, and seamless airport connectivity, which gives investors and builders the confidence to develop the city. Bharat Future City, his boldest move, the CM spoke about a brand new 30,000-acre city coming up near Hyderabad. No Indian state, he said, has tried building a full new city at this scale. Earlier projects like the Financial District were just 400 to 500 acres. Future City, he believes, can stand alongside New York, Tokyo, and Singapore. On connectivity, the plans are big. A 12-lane expressway and rail line will link Future City to Machilipatnam port, located on the coast of the Bay of Bengal. And of the seven new bullet trains being rolled out by the Centre, three are coming to Telangana with Hyderabad as the hub, linking Hyderabad to Bengaluru, Chennai, and Mumbai. The bigger picture stayed with him throughout. Telangana has just 3% of India's population but already contributes 5% of GDP. He wants that to double to 10%, and push the state's economy past USD 1 trillion by 2034. Hyderabad and the real estate ecosystem around it sits right at the centre of that push. ASBL strongly shares this forward-thinking vision for Hyderabad and has been actively contributing to the city's development. While the government builds the master infrastructure, ASBL focuses on building the actual spaces that match this high-growth future. Today, ASBL operates 10 million square feet of space with another 10 million in the pipeline, ensuring that as Hyderabad grows toward its trillion-dollar future, ASBL is right there building it. By bringing both new-age construction and sharp thought leadership to the table, ASBL's presence at the conclave showed exactly why it is leading the way in shaping how the city lives and grows. www.asbl.in .

IPL 2026: Fireworks In Hyderabad As Sunrisers Flex Playoff Muscle, Hand RCB A sweet Defeat (Ld)
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: If this were a playoff trailer, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) delivered a blockbuster with fire, fury, and fearless intent in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 on Friday. On a night illuminated by sixes at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, SRH didnt just beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 55 runs they sent a chilling reminder to the rest of the IPL 2006 top guns that their most dangerous version may finally have arrived. The scorecard read 255/4. The atmosphere felt even bigger. Everywhere RCB looked, the ball was disappearing into the stands. Boundaries arrived in clusters, bowls vanished into the night, and Hyderabads batting lineup played with the kind of freedom that can shake a tournament. For RCB, strangely enough, the defeat carried little damage. They still secured a top-two finish and closed the league stage at the top of the table. But while the visitors could afford to look ahead to the playoffs, SRH seized the moment to make a statement of their own. And what a statement it was. Abhishek Sharma lit the fuse almost instantly. There was no caution, no feeling-out period just pure aggression. His breathtaking 56 off 22 balls, packed with towering sixes and audacious strokeplay, set the tone for the carnage that followed. Beside him, Travis Head added another burst of chaos with a rapid cameo before the innings found its heartbeat in Ishan Kishan. Kishans 79 off 46 deliveries was more than just an innings of power. It was controlled destruction. He pierced gaps effortlessly, manipulated the field with ease, and punished anything remotely loose. Just when RCB seemed desperate for the innings to slow down, Heinrich Klaasen walked in and ensured the nightmare continued. Klaasens brutal 51 off 24 balls felt like the final act of a perfectly scripted assault. By the time Nitish Kumar Reddy added the finishing touches with an unbeaten 29 off 12 deliveries, Hyderabad had transformed the stadium into a launchpad. RCBs bowlers had no answers. Every frontline option leaked runs at more than 12 an over. Length balls disappeared. Yorkers missed. Even good deliveries were punished. Only Rasikh Salam escaped with a semblance of control, picking up two wickets amid the wreckage. And yet, for a fleeting moment, the chase threatened to produce another twist. RCB opener Venkatesh Iyer exploded out of the blocks with a blistering 44 off 19 balls, injecting belief into what looked like an impossible pursuit. The tempo briefly shifted. The crowd stirred again. But crickets momentum can disappear as quickly as it arrives. The dismissals of Iyer, Virat Kohli, and Devdutt Padikkal in quick succession drained the chase of its edge, and Hyderabad tightened their grip. Captain Rajat Patidar fought with composure during his fluent 56, while Krunal Pandya remained unbeaten on 41. But the asking rate climbed relentlessly, and SRH never allowed the game to drift back toward uncertainty. Young pacer Eshan Malinga stood out with figures of 2/33, while Sakib Hussain impressed with his calm execution under pressure. Even Travis Head found himself among the wickets as Hyderabad completed a commanding victory. The result may not derail RCBs campaign. They now head to Dharamsala for Qualifier 1 against the Gujarat Titans with momentum from an excellent league stage still intact. But beyond the points table and playoff permutations, Friday night belonged to Hyderabads warning shot. The result may not derail RCBs campaign.

Captain Rajat Patidar kept RCB in the contest with a composed 56 off 39 balls, while Krunal Pandya remained unbeaten on 41.
