WPL 2026: The Way She Batted Was Outstanding, Says Mandhana On Gautami Naik's Knock Against GG
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: A delighted skipper, Smriti Mandhana, heaped praise on Gautami Naik's brilliant knock of 73 off 55 deliveries under pressure, which helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) recover well and put a good target on the board against Gujarat Giants in Match 12 of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 on Monday. Asked to bat first, RCB had another shaky start. Renuka Singh Thakur struck in the opening over, dismissing Grace Harris for 1. Kashvee Gautam followed by removing Georgia Voll in the next over, putting RCB on the back foot early. Skipper Smriti Mandhana then joined Gautami Naik. The pair focused on rebuilding and guided RCB to 37/2 at the end of the Power-play. Mandhana and Naik formed an important 60-run partnership off 45 balls for the third wicket. Very happy. From where we started in our batting innings, and then to get 180+ was excellent. Very, very happy for Gautami. Coming from Domestic cricket, doing well there, but performing at such a big stage and coming in to bat at 10/2, and the way she batted was outstanding. I am really proud of her. Richa, Radha & Nadine finished off the innings really well. The bowling plans were spot on, too, said Mandhana after the match. Naik was the heartbeat of RCB's recovery as she found a partner in Richa Ghosh. Naik reached her maiden WPL fifty from 42 balls, while Richa contributed 27 runs from 20 balls. Their partnership was broken in the last over of RCB's innings, as Sophie Devine trapped Richa out at long-off. Naiks impressive innings of 73 off 55 balls ended in the 18th over when she was bowled out by Gardner. By then, RCB were well positioned for a final push. Radha Yadav (17) and Shreyanka Patil (8 not out) made important contributions, taking advantage of the solid foundation set earlier. Their performances helped secure a strong finish, with RCB scoring 17 runs in the last over to finish at 178/6. I think the attitude she has had from the first game. She didn't get the opportunity to bat in the first game, but the attitude was spot on. You can get out, you can do anything, but the attitude has to be right up there. Today again, the application was spot on from her. The wicket wasn't easy to bat on. She understood it quickly and adapted it really well. She is not that experienced, but batted brilliantly. That was a very commendable job. RCB put up an incredibly aggressive performance right from the start of the defence. Sayali Satghare took full advantage of this aggression with a stunning two-wicket over in the second over. Satgarhe's extraordinary achievements were accomplished when she caught both players, Beth Mooney (3 runs) and Sophie Devine (0 runs). In the next over, Lauren Bell joined the RCB attack, taking out Kanika Ahuja on just her third ball of her second, leaving Gujarat in dire straits, 5 for 3 at the end of three overs.

When you have five different match-winners in the team, it's really pleasing to see. Everyone has had a moment in this WPL where they have maybe taken a wicket, broken a partnership, or taken a good catch. That's something extremely special. Everyone made their contributions to the team. We are looking forward to the break. We played three games in four days, including the travel day. I am extremely proud of the girls. The message will be clear to them. I will just tell them to take a couple of days' break, and then we will get rolling again. It's difficult to tell this group as they are working really hard, she concluded. Article Source: IANS

WPL 2026: Gujarat Skipper Gardner Rues 'dropped Catches' After Frustrating Defeat To RCB
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Gujarat Giants skipper Ashleigh Gardner was disappointed with their 61-run defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and rued missed chances and dropped catches as the difference, while stressing that the team must regroup quickly and win their remaining two games despite the growing frustration. Sayali Satghares impressive three-wicket burst, along with a strong batting performance led by Gautami Naik (73), propelled RCB to their sixth straight victory in WPL history and entered the playoffs of the 2026 season. It's pretty frustrating. I'm not going to lie here. When you drop catches, and they go on to score runs. It's those small moments that we are not winning at the moment. We have to win the last two games. But it's frustrating. You have to fight. You have to keep the stumps in play as much as possible. If you saw our wickets, we tried to go across the line. Keeping the stumps in play was the best option. Going down the ground was the best option. There are plenty of learnings, which is a positive, but standing here after the loss is not good, said Gardner after the match. Asked to bat first, RCB had another shaky start. Renuka Singh Thakur struck in the opening over, dismissing Grace Harris for 1. Kashvee Gautam followed by removing Georgia Voll in the next over, putting RCB on the back foot early. Skipper Smriti Mandhana then joined Gautami Naik. The pair focused on rebuilding and guided RCB to 37/2 at the end of the powerplay. Mandhana and Naik formed an important 60-run partnership off 45 balls for the third wicket. Gardner conceded that she did not anticipate such a knock from Gautami Naik, but underlined the depth of Indian domestic talent and the importance of treating all top-order batters with equal respect. We obviously know the talent in the Indian domestic cricket. Last time we played, Radha made runs. Us as bowlers, me as captain, had to stay accountable to all the players. We need to speak evenly about all the top seven players. That's what happens when a youngster comes in and makes an impact. However, Gardner broke through in the 10th over, trapping Mandhana in front for 26 off 23 balls. Naik continued to anchor the innings with maturity and control. Alongside Richa Ghosh, she added a crucial 69-run stand for the fourth wicket. Naik reached her maiden WPL half-century off 42 balls and went on to score 73 off 55 deliveries. Richa contributed a quick 27 off 20, while late efforts from Radha Yadav (17 off 8) and Shreyanka Patil (8* off 2) helped lift RCB to a solid 178/6.

WPL 2026: Satghare's Three-for Helps RCB Book Playoffs Spot With Massive Win Over GG
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women: Sayali Satghares impressive three-wicket burst, along with a strong batting performance led by Gautami Naik, propelled Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women (RCB-W) to their sixth straight win in the Womens Premier League (WPL) as they defeated Gujarat Giants by 61 runs in the 12th match at Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara on Monday. This decisive victory not only gave RCB five wins out of five matches this season, securing their spot in the playoffs, but also set a new record for the most consecutive wins in WPL history at six. This surpassed previous streaks of five by the Mumbai Indians in 2023 and 2023-24, as well as RCB's own streak in 2024-25. Earlier in the evening, RCB were asked to bat first by Gujarat Giants skipper Ashleigh Gardner and, much like the reverse fixture, their innings got off to a shaky start. In the opening over of the match, Grace Harris was dismissed by Renuka Singh Thakur after scoring one run, and Georgia Voll was subsequently dismissed by Kashvee Gautam in the next over, putting RCB under pressure right at the beginning. Captain Smriti Mandhana was joined by Gautami Naik as the two players worked to stabilise the team's innings up until the end of the powerplay. After suffering two early dismissals for only nine runs, RCB went on to score 39 runs in the first six overs. Mandhana and Naik then put on a very important 60-run partnership off 45 balls before finally breaking at 10 runs in the tenth over when Gardner brought herself into the bowling attack to trap Mandhana LBW out for 26 runs scored from 23 balls. Naik stayed strong through that time and moved on to anchor RCB's innings, contributing to a magnificent 69-run partnership with Richa Ghosh for the fourth wicket until Naik made her maiden WPL half-century off 42 balls. Naik eventually got out for a well-played 73 off 55 balls. Richa contributed to RCB's excellent overall innings with her innings of 27 runs off 20 balls, and some quick innings by Radha Yadav and Shreyanka Patil added to RCB's innings total of 178 runs scored off 20 overs. RCB put up an incredibly aggressive performance right from the start of the defence. Sayali Satghare took full advantage of this aggression with a stunning two-wicket over in the second over. Satgarhe's extraordinary achievements were accomplished when she caught both players, Beth Mooney (3 runs) and Sophie Devine (0 runs). In the next over, Lauren Bell joined the RCB attack, taking out Kanika Ahuja on just her third ball of her second, leaving Gujarat in dire straits, 5 for 3 at the end of three overs. Although Anushka Sharma and Gardner attempted to rekindle the innings through some decent batting, a run partnership of 29 runs off 25 balls between them for the 4th wicket did not last as Nadine de Klerk's great bowling helped her take Anushka out, having made 18 runs off 20 balls. The wickets continued to tumble for Gujarat as RCB continued to apply extreme pressure with their bowling and fielding. Even though Gardner found success fighting back from the long beginning and eventually scored her half-century from 39 balls, she only finished the match scoring 54 runs off her 43 balls due to the lack of assistance from anyone on the opposite end. In the end, Gujarat Giants could only score 117 runs for 8 wickets in their 20 overs. Satghare stood out among the bowlers with figures of 3 for 21, highlighting a strong team effort as Nadine de Klerk chipped in with 2 for 21. Even though Gardner found success fighting back from the long beginning and eventually scored her half-century from 39 balls, she only finished the match scoring 54 runs off her 43 balls due to the lack of assistance from anyone on the opposite end.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Indias seam-bowling all-rounder Pooja Vastrakar is set to link up with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) after arriving in Vadodara on Monday.

Though she was initially scheduled to join RCB tomorrow, she will now link up with the team immediately after their ongoing game against Gujarat Giants is over and remain with them for the rest of their WPL 2026 campaign, sources told IANS on Monday. Pooja was bought by the 2024 winner RCB for Rs 85 lakh in last years mega auction held in New Delhi, after not being retained by defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI). Despite being one of the feisty all-rounders in the game, Poojas career has been hampered by a string of fitness issues, including anterior cruciate ligament problems and a recurring knee injury.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: A commanding maiden fifty in the WPL from Gautami Naik (73) and Richa Ghosh's late burst of 27 helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) reach 178/6 in 20 overs against Gujarat Giants in Match 12 of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara on Monday.

Smriti Mandhana and Naik continued to frustrate the Giants through the middle overs, stitching together a vital 60-run partnership that shifted the momentum. Just as RCB looked set for a strong platform, Mandhana was trapped in front of the stumps for 26 in the 10th over. Naik, however, held firm at one end and grew in confidence, mixing placement with timely boundaries to keep the scoring rate healthy. Naik was the heartbeat of RCB's recovery as she found a partner in Richa Ghosh. Naik reached her maiden WPL fifty from 42 balls, while Richa contributed 27 runs from 20 balls. Their partnership was broken in the last over of RCB's innings, as Sophie Devine trapped Richa out at long-off.

Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet Performs Rare, High-Risk Vertebral Artery Stenting to Prevent Major Stroke
Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet has successfully performed a rare and technically complex neurovascular procedure to prevent a potentially devastating stroke in a patient with rapidly progressive vertebral artery stenosis, a condition that is distinct from routine stroke interventions and far less commonly encountered. Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet Performs Rare, High-Risk Vertebral Artery Stenting to Prevent Major Stroke The patient,a 42 year old gentleman with a history of diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol, had been asymptomatic until six months ago. While driving from Bengaluru to Chennai, he suddenly experienced difficulty controlling his car steering, noticing that the vehicle was drifting to one side. Recognising the seriousness of the episode, he immediately sought neurological consultation. A CT angiogram revealed moderate (approximately 60%) narrowing of the left vertebral artery, one of the major arteries supplying blood to the brainstem and posterior parts of the brain. The right vertebral artery was normal. As this was his first episode, he was treated with optimal medical therapy, including dual antiplatelet agents, statins, and strict metabolic control, and was discharged with close follow-up. However, a few months later, despite strict compliance with medication, the patient experienced a recurrence of symptoms while driving. A repeat CT angiogram showed rapid progression of the narrowing to nearly 95%, placing him at very high risk of a posterior circulation stroke, which can be life-threatening and often disabling. Although the patient was young and initially stable on medication, the sudden progression of the blockage made intervention essential. Treating it in time ensured complete recovery without neurological damage ,, said Dr Venkatraman Karthikaeyan, Senior Consultant Neurologist, Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet. Given the recurrence of symptoms and the unusually rapid progression despite optimal medical therapy, the multidisciplinary team recommended endovascular vertebral artery angioplasty and stenting. Unlike routine stroke procedures, which commonly involve the carotid or intracranial arteries, vertebral artery interventions are infrequently performed and are technically demanding, as the artery supplies critical areas such as the brainstem and cerebellum. The minimally invasive procedure was successfully performed by the Interventional Radiologist of Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet. Through a tiny puncture in the groin or wrist, a catheter was navigated to the severely narrowed vertebral artery. Balloon angioplasty followed by stent placement was used to completely reopen the artery, restoring normal blood flow to the posterior circulation of the brain. The patient was monitored in the ICU for 24 hours and shifted to the ward the next day. He was discharged on the third postoperative day. On follow-up, he remained asymptomatic and has returned to normal daily activities without any neurological deficit. Speaking about the case, Dr. Sathya Narayanan R, Senior Consultant Interventional Radiology , said, This was not a routine stroke procedure. Vertebral artery stenosis progressing so rapidly despite optimal medical therapy is uncommon and potentially dangerous. Intervention in this artery requires high technical expertise, as it supplies vital structures of the brain. Endovascular angioplasty and stenting allowed us to restore blood flow safely without open surgery or prolonged hospitalisation .

Vijay Hazare Trophy: Aman Mokhade Becomes Third Batter To Score 800 Runs In A Single Season
Vijay Hazare Trophy: Vidarbha opening batter Aman Mokhade etched his name into the record books on Sunday by becoming only the third cricketer in the history of the Vijay Hazare Trophy to score 800 runs in a single season. The milestone came during the final of the 2025-26 season against Saurashtra at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 1 in Bengaluru. The 25-year-old right-hander reached the landmark during the 11th over of Vidarbhas innings, having required just 19 runs at the start of the summit clash. Mokhade joined an elite list featuring Prithvi Shaw and Narayan Jagadeesan, both of whom had previously crossed the 800-run mark in a Vijay Hazare Trophy season. Mokhade has enjoyed a great run in the tournament, highlighted by an unbeaten 138 in the semifinal against Karnataka earlier in the week. Although he had an opportunity to surpass Jagadeesans record for most runs in a single edition, the Vidarbha opener was dismissed for 33 off 45 balls in the final, finishing the season with 814 runs. Former India batter Prithvi Shaw was the first to breach the 800-run barrier, scoring 827 runs for Mumbai in the 2020-21 edition. The record was later bettered by Tamil Nadus Jagadeesan, who amassed 830 runs in eight matches during the 2022-23 season. Mokhade also equalled the record for most centuries in a single Vijay Hazare Trophy edition, finishing with five hundreds, a feat previously achieved by Jagadeesan and Karun Nair. He is set to end the 2025-26 season as the tournaments highest run-scorer.
