'History Of The Near Misses Gave The Team Extra Motivaton In The Final', Kohli Reflects On RCBs IPL Triumph

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli reflected on Royal Challengers Bengalurus maiden IPL triumph and said the history of the near misses gave the team extra motivation to hold their nerve in the final and described the moment of lifting the trophy as the culmination of an 18-year journey with the franchise. RCB beat Punjab Kings in the summit clash to lift their maiden IPL trophy last edition, it was something as a prolonged wait of 18 years came to an end. It was a very special night for all of us at RCB. I have been here since day one and so has Ramesh Mane (team masseur and caretaker). We are probably the oldest members of the RCB group, Kohli said. Reflecting on the lead-up to the title clash against Punjab Kings, Kohli said the team entered the final with quiet confidence. When we reached the finals, I felt a sense of calm confidence. But you also understand it's not going to be a cakewalk. It's a final and there is another team who has played really well to get there. Obviously, they have also beaten a lot of good sides so they are also very confident of what they want to do. Kohli added that the teams history of near misses served as additional motivation to hold their nerves. Given the history of the near misses and the almost moments of the past where we reached the finals and we could not win. I think that gave us extra motivation to hold our nerve. Because the league has become so much more competitive, we must have played really good cricket to get to the finals. It's not a fluke; it's not by chance. We have beaten some really good teams, and we are an amazing team. Who have earned the right to be here on this day. Reflecting on the final moments of the match, Kohli said the emotions of the journey came rushing back. All in all, it was an amazing night for all of us. It was quite surreal for me honestly, quite unbelievable when it was all unfolding in the end. So many things flashed in front of your eyes. The whole journey for 18 years. All the ups and downs, all the good moments, bad moments. It's like the accumulation of all of that is unfolding in front of you and that is going to happen in the next ten minutes. It's a very difficult thing to explain. It's a thing to experience. And that experience I will never ever forget. Reflecting on the final moments of the match, Kohli said the emotions of the journey came rushing back. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Kohli will be stepping into his 19th IPL season this year and will be hoping to extend that brilliant tally of his to another glistening chapter. With 8661 runs from 267 matches, Kohli leads the scoring charts in the Indian Premier League. He has smashed eight centuries and 63 half-centuries so far. Article Source: IANS

The Government has notified the Income Tax Rules, 2026, with changes effective April 1, 2026, impacting multiple salary perquisites and allowances. AdvantageClub.ai today said it is ready with Tax Saving Benefits & Rewards, updated to align with the notified rules, enabling HR teams to implement the revised benefit limits smoothly from Day 1. New Tax Rules 2026: Gifts Tax-Free Upto Rs 15,000 in Both New and Old Tax Regime, AdvantageClub.ai Ready with Tax Saving Benefits & Rewards Two key employee benefit changes HR teams will care about 1. Gifts and festival vouchers (new and old tax regime) The annual exemption limit for gifts/festival vouchers has been increased from Rs 5,000 to Rs 15,000 in both new and old tax regime. This is especially relevant for engagement and Rewards & Recognition momentsincluding spot awards, festive gifting, and milestone recognitionswhere organizations want employees to feel the value directly. 2. Meal and food vouchers (old tax regime) The exemption limit for meal/food vouchers has been increased from Rs 50 per meal to Rs 200 per meal under the old tax regime, subject to the conditions specified in the notified rules. Practical tax-free salary can reach Rs 12.9 lakh in new tax regime Under the new tax regime, many salaried employees can have nil tax liability up to Rs 12 lakh of taxable income, and the Rs 75,000 standard deduction can take this to Rs 12.75 lakh of salary income in practical terms. The revised Rs 15,000 gift/festival voucher exemption can further add tax-efficient value through employer-provided Rewards & Recognition, depending on applicability and structure. AdvantageClub.ai said its Tax Saving Benefits & Rewards offering has been updated to align with the notified rules, effective April 1, enabling HR teams to structure and issue benefits such as gifts/festival vouchers, and meal vouchers (where applicable) in a compliant manner, so employees experience the enhanced value seamlessly. April 1 should feel like a smooth switch, not a scramble. The revised limit on gifts and festival vouchers is a meaningful upgrade for Rewards & Recognition, and the change to meal vouchers further strengthens everyday benefits for eligible employees. We are ready with Tax Saving Benefits & Rewards so HR teams can implement the updated limits with compliance and clarity from Day 1, said Sourabh Deorah, CEO & Co-founder, AdvantageClub.ai. Other notified changes impacting salaried employees (selected highlights): Company car perquisite (motor car): monthly valuation revised upwardup to 1.6L from Rs 1,800 + Rs 900 to Rs 5,000 + Rs 3,000; above 1.6L from Rs 2,400 + Rs 900 to Rs 7,000 + Rs 3,000 (as applicable by use-case). Driver provided by employer: perquisite value revised from Rs 900 per month to Rs 3,000 per month. Interest-free or concessional loans: no perquisite value where the aggregate loan does not exceed Rs 2,00,000; medical treatment loans have specific provisions, including limits where reimbursed under medical insurance. Children-related allowances (old tax regime): Children Education Allowance revised from Rs 100/month/child to Rs 3,000/month/child; Hostel Expenditure Allowance from Rs 300/month/child to Rs 9,000/month/child. HRA expansion + disclosures (old tax regime): metro list expanded to 8 cities for 50% of salary (Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad); additional disclosure requirements apply in certain cases, including landlord-relationship disclosure in Form 124 where applicable. Transport allowance (transport system employees): exemption remains lower of 70% of allowance or the monthly cap, with the cap increased from Rs 10,000 to Rs 25,000 (subject to conditions, including not receiving daily allowance). Driver provided by employer (with company car): taxable perquisite value for a driver has been revised from Rs 900 per month to Rs 3,000 per month (effective April 1). AdvantageClub.ai added that as HR teams recalibrate benefits for the new financial year, organizations should proactively educate employees on what has changed, and help them make an informed choice between the old and new tax regimes based on their individual salary structure and eligible benefits.

IPL 2026: Schedule Delays, Venue Confusion and Player Availability Raise Questions

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, branded as TATA IPL 2026 and the 19th edition of the event, is scheduled to be played from March 28 to May 31, with 10 teams competing in 84 matches. On March 11, BCCI announced the schedule for the first phase, to be played from March 28 to April 12 for the first 20 games. Top 10 facts related to the event: 1. Delay in schedule announcement: The reason is that the BCCI waited on two crucial issues: a. Confirmation of polling dates in multiple states like Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Assam. The clash with the election dates is not a new feature for the IPL. b. Final decision from two franchises (Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru) on their home venues. Rajasthan Royals were facing uncertainty over the use of Jaipurs Sawai Mansingh Stadium, due to unresolved administrative issues within the Rajasthan Cricket Association. Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the defending champions, although received conditional clearance from the Karnataka government to use the M Chinnaswamy Stadium (following a tragic stampede at last years victory celebration that left 11 fans dead), the final approval was awaited. Accordingly, the BCCI decided not to announce the full fixture list until polling timelines are clear. They unveiled the first phase of the IPL 2026 calendar. Interestingly, at the time of the announcement of this schedule for the Phase 1 matches, the election dates were not known, but when the election (and counting) dates were announced by the EC, it was found that none of the match dates clashed with the election dates. Did the BCCI already know the election schedule? 3. Few non-team base, IPL venues have very interesting connections: Raipur, Chhattisgarh: IPL returns to this venue (6 matches played between 2013 and 2016) as BCCI Treasurer Prabhtej Singh Bhatia is from the state. Interestingly, Raipur was home for Delhi Capitals earlier, and now its a home for RCB for two games. The distance between Raipur and the teams home city, Bangalore, is approximately 1013 km by air (flight time roughly 2 hours) and approximately 1300 km by road (over 24 hours drive). Vizag: One of the DC owners is from the city, and political influence is there, and the city gets two DC home games. So far, 17 IPL matches have been played at the venue and some were non-DC matches. The distance between Vizag and the team's home city Delhi is approximately 1360 km by air (flight time roughly 2 hours) and approximately 1815 km by road (over 30 hours drive). Guwahati: City of BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia, one RR co-owner and gets three RR big home games. So far 6 IPL matches have been played at the venue. The distance between Guwahati and the team's home city, Jaipur, is approximately 1500 km by air (flight time roughly 3+ hours) and approximately 1550 km by road (over 38 hours drive). 4. RCB plays five of its home games at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium after having got the nod to play at the venue. The IPL opening match, one playoff match and the final will also be held at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. An elated KSCA President and former Test pacer Venktesh Prasad said, Great to have the IPL back at this iconic venue. It is a great achievement for us at the KSCA to make this happen in the span of just two and a half months. This is a bigger achievement than my five-wicket haul against England (Lords, 1996). 5. Shift from normal schedule: Usually, the champion and runner-up venues are given for the next seasons IPL playoffs and final, which in this case would be New Chandigarh and Bengaluru. The New Chandigarh stadium (the home ground of PBKS), is scheduled to host an Afghanistan Test, immediately after the IPL, hence they missed this years important matches. 6. Opening match of the season: Starting from 2008 till now, a total of 15 different teams have played in the IPL. During all these years, the opening match of the IPL has never happened without at least one of these four teams: MI, CSK, KKR and RCB. However, for the first time, neither Mumbai Indians nor Chennai Super Kings are playing the first game of the IPL season, in 2 consecutive editions:. 2025 KKR vs RCB 2026- RCB vs SRH 7. The schedule of the first three matches of this season is very interesting: Match 1 on 28 March: RCB v SRH repeat of the 2016 final. The last time SRH and RCB played the IPL season opener was on 5th April 2017. Match 2 on 29 March: MI v KKR - 5-time champions v 3-time champions Match 3 on 30 March: RR v CSK repeat of 1st ever IPL final 8. The Big three: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni will be in action in the first three matches. 9. Title sponsor: Tata Group, under a 5-year contract (20242028) for Rs. 2500 crore (US$300 million). 10. Broadcaster: JioStar's Star Sports and JioHotstar as they hold the satellite and digital broadcasting rights for the period 20232027 cycle respectively. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The sheer number of absences leading into the IPL this year is also unprecedented. It appears that the teams are scrambling for replacements rather than getting their squads settled.
