Hardik To Miss ODIs Against Afghanistan Due To Niggle In His Leg
ODI World Cup: In what comes as a huge blow to the Indian team, seambowling allrounder Hardik Pandya likely to miss Indias upcoming threematch ODI series against Afghanistan after picking up a niggle in his leg. Pandya, who missed a few games for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026 due to back spasms, was present at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru since June 2 and was believed to be on track for getting a fitness clearance for the ODI series against Afghanistan, starting on June 13 in Dharamshala and followed by games in Lucknow and Chennai.

His ability to contribute with both bat and ball has been central to Indias ODI plans, though Pandya hasnt played a 50-over game after the 2025 Champions Trophy triumph. With the wait for Pandya playing an ODI game now set to be extended, it remains to be seen if he will achieve full fitness in time for the three-game series against England, to be played from July 14-19. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball has been central to Indias ODI plans, though Pandya hasnt played a 50-over game after the 2025 Champions Trophy triumph.

'Met Virat But Couldn't Speak, Felt Nervous': Pooja Vastrakar Recalls Star-struck Moment
Met Virat Kohli: Even as one of India's most experienced all-rounders and a regular presence in the national setup, Pooja Vastrakar isn't immune to feeling starstruck. The Indian woman cricketer, currently captaining Chambal Ghariyals in the Women's MPL T20, recalled a chance meeting with Virat Kohli in South Africa and admitted that nerves got the better of her, preventing her from striking up a conversation with one of Indian cricket's biggest icons. I met Virat in South Africa. But I didn't talk to him. Because we were at the airport, and I thought he was occupied. I was nervous, maybe, so I didnt speak to him because hes someone with a busy schedule. And I never felt the need for it. Because if you go to the NCA (BCCI CoE), you meet all the players there. There are coaches. We have so many senior players in our team. So, they help us with small things. So, I didn't talk to him at that level, Pooja, who also represents RCB, told IANS during an exclusive interaction. The candid admission offered a rare glimpse into the human side of one of India's most experienced all-rounders, who has represented the country across formats and featured in the Women's Premier League for both the Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Away from franchise cricket, Pooja is currently focused on leading the Chambal Ghariyals in the Women's MPL T20, a tournament she believes is an important stepping stone for aspiring cricketers. This platform is very big for girls. And when they get a platform, they get a chance to show their skills. And when there's a tournament like this, all the scout members are involved, and they have an eye on the players. And I think even they know that this is a big platform for the players and that theyre working hard. So, any good innings or a good moment, even if it's a ball, it's good for them to go to the camps, whenever there are any, she said. Asked what separates future India players from the rest, Pooja pointed to discipline as the defining quality. I think discipline is very important. Because a lot of people work hard, a lot of people have talent. But the discipline, if you're bowling an over, can you deliver all the 6 balls exactly the way the captain wants you to? If you're batting, if the score is 120, can you stay till the end and chase it down? That is where discipline is crucial in making a player a star, Pooja expressed. As captain, Pooja said her responsibilities extend far beyond her individual performances. When we play for India, we have our own responsibilities, and that sense builds in. But when you're a captain for a franchise in MPL or even the state team, for that matter, you have to act responsibly, not just for yourself but also for the 15 members plus supporting staff. And there are a lot of responsibilities. Thinking about the team, taking it to the finals, all the ups and downs. The atmosphere should be very good. So, things are very different when it comes to responsibility. But as a player, I've liked taking responsibility since childhood. So, I'm enjoying my captaincy, she noted. One of the most dependable all-rounders, Pooja said she has never felt that any part of her contribution to the national team has gone unnoticed. No, I've never felt that way. Whenever they needed me to bat, I have scored for them. Even in bowling, in all phases, in all formats. And I have always reaped rewards from it, she stated. Looking back on her own journey, the 25-year-old said the belief shown in her abilities from an early stage helped her become the player she is today. Even then, everyone believed in Pooja. They knew that she was very talented and would play for India one day. And not only will she play, but she'll also become an impactful player. And touchwood, that's what happened. So, I'm grateful, yeah. I've seen a lot of difference at a smaller level in myself from that time to now. Because when you make your debut, there are ups and downs. It's a little difficult to handle. But as you gain experience, your attitude changes and you become cool, calm, and composed, she mentioned. Looking back on her own journey, the 25-year-old said the belief shown in her abilities from an early stage helped her become the player she is today. Also Read: Live Cricket Score My message is that they are doing a good job, and they should continue playing the same way.

Know Before You Pledge: Bajaj Finance's Gold Loan Calculator Gives Borrowers a Real Number
India's households collectively hold an estimated 25,000 tonnes of gold, one of the largest private gold reserves in the world. Yet when a financial need arises, most owners have no clear sense of what that gold can unlock. They walk into a branch not knowing whether their jewellery qualifies for Rs. 50,000 or Rs. 5 lakh. Bajaj Finance Gold Loan Bajaj Finance's gold loan calculator is designed to change that. It gives borrowers a verified, methodology-backed loan estimate before they pledge a single gram removing the guesswork from one of India's most widely used secured credit products. How the loan amount is actually calculated Understanding what drives the eligible loan amount helps borrowers make better pledging decisions. The calculation starts with three inputs: the weight of the gold in grams, its purity in karats, and the applicable gold rate. Where most borrowers go wrong is assuming the rate used is the live market price they see on a financial app. It is not. Bajaj Finance values pledged gold at the lower of the previous day's closing price or the 30-day average closing price published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange. This is a deliberate, RBI-aligned methodology, it protects both the borrower and the lender from short-term price volatility and ensures the loan is structured on a stable valuation basis. Once the gold value is established, the RBI-prescribed Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio of up to 85% is applied to arrive at the final eligible loan amount. For example, if a borrower pledges 22-karat gold valued at Rs. 2 lakh, they may be eligible for a loan of up to Rs. 1.70 lakh. Why using the calculator before applying matters gold loan calculator is a planning tool. Borrowers can model multiple scenarios: pledging more gold to access a higher amount, adjusting tenure to reduce monthly outgo, or comparing total interest across short and long repayment periods. A borrower who needs 3 lakh but only models Rs. 2 lakh worth of gold walks into the branch under-prepared. The calculator prevents that. Bajaj Finance's gold loan calculator is available on their website and app, accessible from anywhere in India Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, or a Tier-3 town. Documents required for gold loan documents required for gold loan applications with Bajaj Finance are minimal. Borrowers need just one valid KYC document which may be an Aadhaar card, Voter ID, passport, driving licence, , NREGA job card, or a letter from the National Population Register. No income proof, no salary slips, and no bank statements are needed a meaningful distinction from unsecured loan products where income documentation can delay or derail an application. Key features of a Bajaj Finance gold loan Loan amounts from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 2 crore Interest rates are significantly lower than most unsecured loan options, making gold loans a cost-effective borrowing choice Multiple repayment monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annual basis No foreclosure charges Same-day disbursal in most cases Free insurance on pledged gold How to apply Borrowers can begin the application process online by visiting the Bajaj Finance website or app, entering their mobile number, verifying with an OTP, selecting their nearest branch, and downloading their in-principal eligibility letter. The gold is assessed physically at the branch, and funds are credited on the same day in most cases. T&C Apply. About Bajaj Finance Limited Bajaj Finance Ltd. (BFL, Bajaj Finance, or the Company), a subsidiary of Bajaj Finserv Ltd., is a deposit taking Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC-D) registered with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and is classified as an NBFC-Investment and Credit Company (NBFC-ICC).
