Why India's Affluent Homebuyers Are Looking Beyond Metros for Their Next Luxury Address
New Delhi [India], September 15: For much of India's modern real estate story, a prestigious address meant a metropolitan one. Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru and other major cities became synonymous with aspiration, offering proximity to business, culture, commerce and social life. Yet, as lifestyles evolve, so does the meaning of a desirable home. Among India's affluent households, the appeal of a residence increasingly rests on the quality of life it enables, rather than the prominence of its postcode alone.

India's semiconductor sector attracts $1.4 billion funding: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 15 (IANS) India's semiconductor sector has raised a total of $1.4 billion in equity funding with nearly half of the capital secured since 2025, according to a report released on Tuesday. A report by Tracxn Technologies said the country's semiconductor ecosystem comprises 3,557 companies, of which 281 have raised funding and 142 have secured equity investments. According to the report, funding activity has gained momentum in recent years, with capital increasingly flowing into a smaller number of larger transactions. The two biggest funding rounds were IL JIN Electronics' $198 million private equity raise in September 2025 and Tessolve Semiconductor's $150 million private equity round in the same month. Moreover, Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) emerged as the most-funded business segment and attracted $313 million since 2025, including $89 million in the trailing 12 months. Embedded Hardware followed with $51.9 million raised since 2025, all of it secured over the past 12 months. Other prominent segments attracting investor interest include Power Management Integrated Circuits and Fabless Semiconductor Manufacturing, the report said. Bengaluru remained the leading hub for semiconductor companies, hosting 626 firms or around 18 per cent of the total ecosystem. The city accounted for about 40 per cent of all equity funding raised by the sector to date. Noida, Gurugram, Kochi and Hyderabad also featured among key semiconductor clusters. The report further noted that the sector has recorded 62 acquisitions and 42 initial public offerings (IPOs) as of 2026 year-to-date. The report said the data reflects growing investor interest in India's semiconductor ecosystem as the country seeks to strengthen domestic capabilities across chip design, manufacturing and electronics value chains. Additionally, electronics production rose from about Rs 1.9 lakh crore in 2014-15 to Rs 13.11 lakh crore in 2025-26, while electronics exports increased from around Rs 38,000 crore to Rs 4.24 lakh crore during the period, according to the government data. Mobile phone production increased from Rs 18,000 crore to Rs 6.27 lakh crore over the same period, while mobile phone exports rose from about Rs 1,500 crore to Rs 2.59 lakh crore, it added.
PIL in K'taka HC challenges govt order limiting 'Vande Mataram' to two stanzas
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sept 15 (IANS) A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed before the Karnataka High Court challenging the state government's order directing that only the first two stanzas of the National Song Vande Mataram be sung at state government programmes. The PIL contended that the directive runs contrary to instructions issued by the Union government. The matter is expected to be mentioned before the High Court on Tuesday for listing. The PIL has been filed by advocate Girish Bharadwaj against the State of Karnataka, the Principal Secretary to the Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms (DPAR), and the Union of India. The petition challenges the Government Order dated September 8 and the Karnataka Cabinet's decision of September 3, under which the state government directed that at all state government programmes, except those attended by the President, Vice-President, Prime Minister or Governor, only the first two stanzas of Vande Mataram should be sung. According to the petition, the Ministry of Home Affairs, through a letter dated July 9, 2026, circulated the orders relating to the National Song to all states for strict compliance. The petitioner contends that the Union government's directions prescribe the official version of Vande Mataram as the complete composition in six stanzas and require the official version to be recited during mass singing. The PIL further points out that Parliament subsequently enacted the Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Act, 2026, extending statutory protection to the National Song. The petitioner has argued that the Karnataka government's order is contrary to the Union government's prescribed version of the National Song and sought to have the order quashed. The petition also challenges the manner in which the state government took the decision, alleging that it followed an Informal Discussion without a Cabinet Note, sponsoring department or advice from the Law Department. The PIL raises the constitutional question of whether a state government can, through an executive order, prescribe the form and content of a national symbol. It contends that the subject does not fall under the State List or Concurrent List of the Seventh Schedule and is within the exclusive legislative competence of Parliament under Entry 97 of the Union List read with Article 248 of the Constitution. The petitioner has further alleged that the order violates Articles 256 and 257(1), which require state executive power to be exercised in compliance with laws made by Parliament and without impeding the executive power of the Union. The petition makes it clear that it does not seek to compel any individual to sing the National Song. Instead, it seeks a direction that when Vande Mataram is sung at a state government function, the government should not direct that the officially prescribed version be curtailed. The petitioner had also submitted a representation to the Chief Secretary on September 14 seeking withdrawal of the government order. According to the PIL, no response has been received so far. The petitioner has sought interim relief, stating that the order continues to operate at state government functions across Karnataka since September 8.

IIHR Bengaluru is organising the three day event from Sept 17-19 with a theme -- From Biodiversity Hotspot to Sustainable Bioresource Hub
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 15 (IANS) The Karnataka Special Investigation Team (SIT) has intensified its probe into the alleged fake pharmaceuticals interstate racket and is planning to take key accused Veeresh Kumar Jain into custody for further questioning. Jain is currently in judicial custody at Bengaluru Central Prison. Investigators suspect that Jain was the key figure who planned and monitored the entire fake medicine racket and allegedly directed Prashant and others involved in its operations. The SIT is seeking his custody to gather more information about the source of the counterfeit medicines and the network involved in their manufacture, repackaging and distribution. The investigators are expected to question Jain about where the medicines were procured, how they were repackaged and supplied, and the network through which they reached medical shops and hospitals. The probe has so far indicated that counterfeit tablets, syrups and other medicines were allegedly supplied to more than 80 medical shops and private hospitals across Karnataka. Several establishments in Bengaluru are also under the scanner of investigators. The gang is suspected to have generated an annual turnover of more than Rs 15 crore through the alleged illegal trade. The SIT is also investigating whether the racket had links beyond Karnataka and whether counterfeit medicines were supplied to other parts of the country. The investigation is also focussing on the role of Prashant and other accused persons allegedly involved in the racket. Officials are attempting to identify more members of the network based on information gathered during the investigation. As part of the probe, the SIT and the Drugs Control Department conducted coordinated raids at 10 locations across Karnataka, Haryana, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh and Telangana on Friday. Around 80 to 100 officials and staff participated in the searches, which targeted offices, properties and other premises linked to companies allegedly involved in manufacturing, repackaging and supplying counterfeit medicines. In Bengaluru, officials searched the premises of a pharmaceutical company near Minerva Circle, close to Lalbagh. Investigators are examining medicines allegedly sourced from different locations before being repackaged and supplied through the network. The probe has also reportedly indicated an international dimension, with investigators examining allegations that counterfeit labels used on the medicines were sourced from foreign locations. The fake pharmaceuticals racket came to light around two weeks ago following its alleged operation in Dodderi on the outskirts of Bengaluru in Ramanagara district. Since then, investigators have been working to trace the complete supply chain, including the sources of the medicines, manufacturing and repackaging facilities, distributors, medical shops and hospitals that allegedly received the supplies. The SIT is now expected to seek Jain's custody through a body warrant and question him further to uncover the wider network and identify others allegedly involved in the racket.

Karnataka CM accuses BJP of fuelling unrest over Vande Mataram row
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 15 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Tuesday lashed out at the BJP over its proposed agitation on the Vande Mataram issue, accusing the opposition party of attempting to provoke people and create unrest in the state. Speaking to reporters after paying tributes to Sir M. Visvesvaraya at K.R. Circle, Shivakumar alleged that the BJP was finding fault with everything for political reasons and had little concern for Karnataka's welfare. Even if you cut open the chest of BJP leaders, there is no element that shows concern for the welfare of the state. They have only a political mindset. They cannot be corrected, Shivakumar said. Reacting to the BJP's call for a protest over the Vande Mataram issue, he defended the police officer whose purported remarks had triggered the controversy. What mistake has the police officer committed? He only issued a warning so that no untoward incident should take place. For that, the BJP has brought the issue to the streets, he said. Shivakumar questioned why Opposition leaders, including the Leader of the Opposition, had gone to the extent of involving themselves in what he described as an issue at the panchayat level. The Leader of the Opposition is a constitutional post. I expect a higher level of conduct from him, he said. Referring to BJP leaders posting on social media over the issue, Shivakumar questioned who should be responsible for ensuring that laws are followed in society. He alleged that BJP leaders were attempting to provoke people and urged them to stop such activities. India is earning respect through Karnataka. If an untoward incident takes place here, it will cause damage to India. BJP leaders here are indulging in politics that could affect the Prime Minister's vision for the country, he said. Shivakumar said the BJP was free to engage in politics and hold protests but should not create unrest or bring a bad name to the state. Do politics and hold protests, but I appeal to you not to create unrest and bring a bad name to the state, he said. Addressing concerns over declining rainfall and a possible drought situation, Shivakumar urged legislators not to panic and cautioned against politicising the issue. He said the government was preparing a comprehensive report ahead of a potential assessment by the Central government. When the Central government comes for an assessment, our report should not be wrong. Surveys have been completed in some areas, while reports from the remaining regions are being prepared, he said. The Chief Minister noted that while the Meteorological Department had forecast rainfall over the coming week, precipitation in several parts of the state had remained inadequate. He also expressed concern over the growing power shortage and said the government was making preparations to ensure uninterrupted drinking water supply. Shivakumar further said a special session of the legislature had been convened to discuss the drought situation and that additional measures would be announced after consultations with farmers.

Ganesh festival celebrations turn tragic as 7 killed in three road accidents across Karnataka
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 15 (IANS) Ganesh festival celebrations turned tragic in Karnataka as at least seven people were killed in three separate road accidents reported in Belagavi, Kalaburagi districts in North Karnataka and Mandya in South Karnataka between Monday night and Tuesday morning. In Mandya, a couple and their daughter were killed after a tanker ran over their scooter in the early hours of Tuesday. The deceased have been identified as Mutturaj, his wife Kavya and their daughter Keerthana. Mutturaj, who was employed at a factory in Bengaluru's Peenya area, had travelled with his family to his mother-in-law's house to celebrate the Ganesh festival. The family was returning to Bengaluru after the celebrations when the accident occurred at around 4.15 a.m. on Tuesday. According to police, the tanker allegedly came from behind and hit the scooter before running over the victims. CCTV footage obtained by the police reportedly shows the tanker dragging the scooter for some distance after the collision. Police suspect rash and negligent driving by the tanker driver to be the cause of the accident. The driver fled the spot following the incident and police have launched a search to trace him. Another daughter of the couple sustained serious injuries and is undergoing treatment at a hospital. The bodies have been shifted to the Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences (MIMS). The family has said that the final rites will be conducted at Kootaganahalli in Kanakapura. In Kalaburagi, one person was killed and another critically injured in an accident while they were reportedly on their way to bring a Ganesha idol. The incident occurred at the Hirapura Road Flyover in Kalaburagi city. The deceased has been identified as Prashanth Biradar. According to police, Prashanth was riding a motorcycle when it came into contact with another two-wheeler. Both riders fell onto the road and sustained serious head injuries. Prashanth later succumbed to his injuries at a hospital, while the other injured person is undergoing treatment. In Belagavi, three persons were killed after a motorcycle on which they were travelling was hit by a Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus on the outskirts of Savadatti town late on Monday late night. The deceased have been identified as 22-year-old Vinod Hogennavar, 20-year-old Akash and Ravi Kurubara. According to police, the three had travelled from Dharwad to witness the Ganesh procession and were returning towards Savadatti after the celebrations when the accident occurred.

Four of a family charred to death, 2 critically injured in fridge blast in K'taka's Belagavi house
Digital Desk | Belagavi, Sep 15 (IANS) At least four people were burnt alive, and two others suffered severe injuries after a fire broke out following an alleged refrigerator blast caused by an electrical short circuit at a house in the Chauhan Galli area of Karnataka's Belagavi city in the early hours of Tuesday. According to police, the incident occurred after the family had celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi at home on Monday and gone to sleep. The preliminary investigation suggests that an electrical short circuit triggered the fire late at night. The refrigerator allegedly exploded shortly after the fire broke out, and the flames quickly engulfed the entire house. The deceased have been identified as 65-year-old Gajanan Dhamone, 21-year-old Roshan Dhamone, 45-year-old Sharada Dhamone and 45-year-old Bharati Dhamone. Priya Dhamone, 28, and Ganga Dhamone, 25, who sustained severe burn injuries, are undergoing treatment at a private hospital. Police said both suffered burns covering around 70 to 80 per cent of their bodies, and their condition remains critical. The family was living in a shed-like structure, where the victims were sleeping together when the fire broke out. The intensity of the blaze was such that the refrigerator was reduced to what police described as the size of a small box, while household articles were completely destroyed in the fire. The incident has shocked the local community, with residents expressing disbelief over the tragedy that occurred shortly after the family had celebrated the festival. The Dhamone family worked as labourers. Belagavi Police Commissioner visited the spot and inspected the scene. The jurisdictional market police have taken up a detailed investigation to ascertain the exact cause of the fire and the circumstances leading to the refrigerator blast. On May 9, one person died, and four others were critically injured in a fire tragedy in the Nagarbhavi locality in Bengaluru. The blaze suspected to be triggered by a short circuit inside the hotel. The fire spread rapidly and soon engulfed the staff rooms located on the upper floor. As fire broke out suddenly during night, the five staff members sleeping on upper floors were unable escape and got trapped inside. In 2025, a devastating early-morning fire at a bar-cum-restaurant in the Kumbaara Sangha building resulted in five deaths due to suffocation, leading to the arrest of the building owners for severe safety and ventilation violations.

Chakaravarthy ruled out of T20Is against Afghanistan due to side strain
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 14 (IANS) India wrist-spinner Varun Chakaravarthy has been ruled out of the remaining two T20Is against Afghanistan, to be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, after suffering a fresh injury. The recent setback also leaves in doubt Chakaravarthys availability for the upcoming Asian Games in Japan. Chakaravarthy, 35, picked up the latest injury during Indias seven-wicket victory in the series opener on Sunday, where he picked up 1-16 in his four overs. Yes, Varun is ruled out of the series against Afghanistan. Scans have confirmed that he's picked up a side strain. It remains to be seen when hes asked to report to the CoE, said a source familiar with the matter to IANS on Monday. Chakravarthy was making his comeback to the Indian team after recovering from a hamstring injury, which he picked up on tour of England, at the Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru. That injury forced him to miss the T20I tour of Zimbabwe in July. He previously suffered a hairline fracture in his left foot during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 while playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders. Speaking in the post-match press conference, where he didnt show any signs of picking up the latest injury, Chakaravarthy spoke about the toll of constant physical rehabilitation and the demands placed on modern-day cricketers. Injuries are very common for all sportspeople, and it just shows that we are working, and we are giving our best. Sometimes, we push beyond our limits, and that's when the body gives in. So, that's when we have to take a step back and work better and come back stronger, he had said. India lead the three-match series 1-0 heading into the second T20I to be played on Tuesday, with the final match set to be played on Thursday. Indias other spin bowling options are Kuldeep Yadav, Krunal Pandya, and uncapped Vipraj Nigam, with Harsh Dubey and Shahbaz Ahmed doing rehab at the CoE to recover from their respective injuries.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 14 (IANS) Congress' Karnataka President B.K. Hariprasad has reportedly expressed serious displeasure over not being invited to the dais during the 100-day celebration of the D.K. Shivakumar-led state government, party sources said on Monday. Hariprasad, who is also a Congress MLC, is said to have conveyed his unhappiness to the party high command over his exclusion from the stage at the government event. The high command has reportedly sought details regarding the issue. During the 100-day celebration, former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister G. Parameshwara were seated on the dais and addressed the gathering. Hariprasad was not seen on the stage, despite being the state Congress President. Sources said Hariprasad expressed his reservations in his close circles, questioning why he was not invited to the stage for a significant government event. He is also learnt to have pointed out that he was the party's state President and an MLC and that not even a single photograph of him from the event was published. 100-day celebration event is over. I am the President of the party and an MLC. It was a significant government event. Not a single photograph was published, Hariprasad is learnt to have said, alleging that his exclusion was intentional. The development has triggered discussions within the Congress at a time when differences among senior leaders over party and government affairs have been under scrutiny. Reacting to the controversy on Monday, Chief Minister Shivakumar dismissed the suggestion that Hariprasad had not been invited to the event. The Chief Minister, who was visiting his native Kanakapura, said invitations had been extended to everyone and that seating arrangements had been made according to protocol. Who said we have not invited Hariprasad? We had invited all MLAs, including those from the Opposition. Hariprasad is our party President. Whatever the party dictates, we jointly have to implement, he said. Shivakumar also alleged that the media was unnecessarily giving a political colour to the issue. All officers and everyone were sent invitations, he said. Meanwhile, responding to questions about vacant posts in the state Cabinet and senior Congress leaders awaiting Cabinet expansion, Shivakumar said he would fill the vacancies whenever the party high command directed him to do so. Whenever the party asks me to fill the posts, I will do it, he said. Shivakumar also remarked that the media appeared to be more interested in the Cabinet expansion than senior leaders of the party.
Caribbean Premier League: Before the chat with Pooja Vastrakar began, Shikha Pandey quizzed her on what the ongoing stint in the Womens Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) had taught her so far. The answer from Pooja, who also went on a cruise trip, had nothing to do with her bowling, batting, or anything she might carry into a match. I learnt to enjoy everything from Qiana (Joseph), because we Indians do a lot of overthinking when it comes to our games and other small things. Here in the Caribbean, I'm learning a lot. They enjoy their present moment and small things. So, I'm sure it'll be great if I go back to India, she said in a quick reply. For most cricketers, life about playing in a global franchise T20 league is mostly about showcasing your skills and then picking up lessons from other players and coaches. For Pooja, the seam-bowling all-rounder currently playing for Barbados Tridents in the WCPL, it is something else to live and follow the new-found philosophy acquired via a shoulder injury layoff. Pooja isnt a stranger to injuries needing surgeries -- she went through a right-knee ACL reconstruction in 2017, before she had played for India, and was followed by a second operation on the left knee the following year. But the shoulder surgery done after the 2024 Womens T20 World Cup has been a perspective-altering event for Pooja. The surgery was done on a torn supraspinatus tendon in her shoulder. Rehab at the CoE ran to almost nine months, before a hamstring injury delayed her return to competitive cricket. But once the fitness certificate came through she turned out for RCB in the fag end of the WPL, where the side won the title and has since played in whatever tournament has been available to her. Navigating loneliness despite being around a plethora of players and specialists was hard for Pooja, who picked up a few wise lessons. There's a lot to learn because you spend a lot of time alone while in CoE, Bengaluru and you don't want to go back to your old life because cricket is a team sport and we always do training or sessions with the team. But when you go to the rehab, the feeling of loneliness is very strong, and it eats you up from the inside. At the same time, it teaches you a lot and makes you stronger. You build a lot of knowledge - you learn about your body, training, physiotherapy and load management. So, there's a lot to learn because people like me say that I've had three surgeries and spent a lot of time alone, Pooja told IANS in a select virtual interaction organised by FanCode, the official broadcaster of WCPL in India. Whenever a player has to face the rehab and recovery route, their go-to person is now Pooja. A lot of players don't even call their physios instead, they call me and say, 'I've had an injury. What should I do? They sometimes have fun with me. In CoE, the physios said that I have enough knowledge to deal with small injuries by myself. It's because you live in that atmosphere, you get that knowledge and learn a lot about yourself. Support also came from the people in her life close friends, family, CoE trainers, physios and the management at RCB consisting of coaches, trainer, physio and captain Smriti Mandhana. Theres a time when after an injury, there are a lot of biomechanical changes. In India, there is no awareness of it and people don't have knowledge. They compare the previous Pooja with the current Pooja. Like if someone has come from a knee surgery, even if they get a fitness certificate after nine months, the biomechanical changes in the ground will still be there. If someone is limping, it is very easy to judge in India that she is limping because he is injured. But she is not injured, as she is playing, and has got a certificate. If she is bowling, it means she is fit. Biomechanical changes will be there all the time in life. How the player manages to play is down to her talent. If any player is playing at a higher level, no one is 100 percent fit. There are a lot of matches like WPL, international, bilateral series and domestic games. Everyone manages to play well. I felt really good that RCB supported me a lot. At one time, the pace of bowling was going up and down. They told me to come and will take care of me and even said that my batting is enough for them. That helps a lot because at one time, I thought that I was not enough. When you have a lot of talent within you, we don't understand it at that time. When someone tells you that you can do this, that moment changes a lot, she explained. For all the changes the shoulder surgery brought to Poojas life view, one thing has been thankfully untouched: her bowling action. She watched bowlers who keep hurting long after the surgeon has called the healing complete and the strength coach has signed off the numbers, and who end up rebuilt at the crease because nobody can find another answer. That has never been her, and she says so with a touchwood attached. The one concession is at the start of a session - a body coming back to load does not simply accept it because you have turned up, so her warm-up runs longer than it used to. The rest is a matter of getting reacquainted with her skillsets. Actually, I don't think about the future. If the body responds at that time, and there is a little pain, then the coping mechanism of the body is such that it holds. Yes, when you bowl after 2-3 months of injury, the load is different. The body is not used to the load. Initially, you will feel pain for 2-3 days. But later on, you will feel that it is normal and the same is said by physios. You are not used to the load, but then you like it. Yes, you feel a little fear that when you fall, your fear that it shouldn't get worse. But when you keep doing it, you get used to all these things. Then there comes a moment when you go up in life, and then it doesn't matter. The RCB connection is hard to miss, considering Pooja had a setback in her hamstring while trying to become match fit and eventually came at the final phase of WPL phase in Vadodara, albeit as a specialist batter. They picked me during the rehab, and that was a very big thing for me. They showed so much faith that if Pooja gets fit, she can do batting, bowling or fielding for us in any department. But getting confidence from a franchise is the biggest thing. I joined the team very late. So, I didn't get a chance to work that much. But whatever small talks I had with Anya (Shrubsole, assistant coach), she focuses a lot on planning. Like, we put in the balls that we know and during the tournament, we can't work much on the technical side. So, the main thing I learnt from them is that they focus a lot on planning. Like, what should be your plan A, plan B, plan C. If you're sending down a bouncer, yorker, slower ball or a stock ball, then you need a specific field. If that field doesn't work, then what's your plan B? So, I got to learn a lot from them in terms of planning. Back home in the MP T20 League, where she captained Chambal Ghariyals to winning the title, she barely bowled not due to the injury, but because she counted the youngsters in the squad, who were waiting for a game to showcase their skills. Pooja also likes what is coming through behind her and thinks the coaching has sharpened since her own age-group days. When small kids come to my hometown and ask questions, my answer is that the game has become very advanced. It's important to bring those three skills and now they are also learning like WPL and different tournaments are happening. So, their coaches have become very smart as they are moulding the kids to be all-rounders. So, it's looking good. Though Pooja hasnt set the WCPL on fire, her mood is still cheerful. Yes, it's been great. We haven't had a lot of matches so far. But the atmosphere of the team and the practices we've been doing and the matches that are coming up, we're very positive about that. Actually, our first match didn't go so well. But the bond of our team is great. It's very important for us and even more important for women's cricket because the way women's cricket is developing, and when we play in public, we get to perform in front of a lot of fans. We then get to represent our country, and if we don't get a lot of opportunities, then it becomes a very good tournament to make a comeback into the team. Its going to be close to two years since Pooja donned an India jersey, and while the comeback may happen, she doesnt think too much about the future, as she now prefers to go with the flow. I have done a lot of things in my life and we tend to plan a lot for doing this and that in our respective lifetime. But I don't know how many things I have achieved in my life out of it. Most of the time, we are result-oriented. We think more about the result. Everyone's wish list and manifestations are about the result. My go with the flow philosophy is due to the fact that I don't have to think about or to manifest for the result. Its going to be close to two years since Pooja donned an India jersey, and while the comeback may happen, she doesnt think too much about the future, as she now prefers to go with the flow. I have done a lot of things in my life and we tend to plan a lot for doing this and that in our respective lifetime. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories I should follow the process as we become result-oriented a lot and forget the process. If the result is not clear, we get a lot of disappointment. But now I don't want all of that - I want to live in the present and be in that moment. Article Source: IANS

Delhi Capitals intensify IPL 2027 preparations by organising a short camp and trials in New Delhi
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 14 (IANS) Delhi Capitals have stepped up their preparations for the 2027 Indian Premier League (IPL) season through a short camp and trials in the national capital. Sources have told IANS that the camps proceedings were taken care of by ex-India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh and former India leg-spinner Amit Mishra. Sri Lankas former pacer Chaminda Vaas, who played for the now-defunct Deccan Chargers in the Indian Premier League (IPL) from 2008 to 2010, also joined and may become the sides fast-bowling coach. The short camp took place at a ground in Aerocity, with a lot of players who did well in the previous camp in Bengaluru featuring here as well. It is understood that the camp will conclude on Monday, said a source to this news agency on Monday. The trio of Yuvraj, Mishra, who himself played for DC and finished as a prolific IPL wicket-taker, and Vaas were present to evaluate identified domestic talent and test them in various match situations, as the franchise looks to build a more competitive squad for the upcoming season. Before that, the team still has to pick players through the mini auction slated for later this year. Previously, DC held trials and an off-season camp at the Just Cricket Academy ground in Bengaluru last month, where Yuvraj and Sourav Ganguly, ex-India captain and DCs director of cricket in two stints, took charge. Under a formal operational agreement between co-owners JSW Group and GMR Group, management of the mens IPL team alternates between the two corporate entities every two years, with JSW taking charge of the cricket operations for the 2027 and 2028 cycles. DC are seeking to end their status as the tournaments perennial underachievers, especially after missing the playoffs in the IPL 2025 and 2026 seasons under Hemang Badani (head coach), Venugopal Rao (director of cricket) and Munaf Patel (fast bowling coach). The Delhi-based franchises solitary appearance in an IPL final came in the 2020 season.
