All Indian Captains Make IPL 2026 Quite Significant From A Leadership Perspective, Says Paranjape
BCCI Cricket Advisory Committee: For the first time, all ten IPL franchises will be led by Indian captains in the upcoming season starting on Saturday, and Jatin Paranjape, the former cricketer and national selector, feels that fact makes the tournament worth watching from a leadership perspective. This IPL feels quite significant from a leadership point of view. For the first time in a while, you have all teams being led by Indian captains, Ruturaj Gaikwad at CSK, Axar Patel at Delhi Capitals, Shubman Gill at Gujarat Titans, Ajinkya Rahane at KKR, Rishabh Pant at Lucknow, Hardik Pandya at Mumbai Indians, Shreyas Iyer at Punjab Kings, Riyan Parag at Rajasthan Royals, Rajat Patidar at RCB, and Ishan Kishan at Sunrisers Hyderabad. What makes it interesting is that each of them is at a very different stage in their career, but for all of them, this is a pivotal phase. Some are new to the role, while others have a bit more experience, but all of them will have to handle responsibility over a long tournament, Paranjape told IANS on Friday, on the eve of the tournament opener between RCB and SRH, to be played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

IPL 2026: Positivity From DC Coaches Gave Belief For Being Selected, Says Auqib Nabi
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Delhi Capitals pacer Auqib Nabi said encouraging words from the franchises coaching staff during pre-auction trials, particularly from head coach Hemang Badani, gave him the self-belief that an IPL call-up was within reach if he kept performing in domestic cricket. Nabi, who was picked for Rs 8.4 crore by DC in last years auction in Abu Dhabi after years of going unsold and having net bowling stints instead, had a sensational time in the 2025/25 domestic season - picking 60 wickets to make Jammu & Kashmir win their maiden Ranji Trophy title and taking four wickets in four balls for North Zone in a Duleep Trophy game in Bengaluru. In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Nabi showed that apart from swing, he can fire yorkers, including wide ones, to pick 15 wickets in seven games at an economy rate of 7.41. He also chipped in with a cameo 32 off 21 balls against Madhya Pradesh, showing that he can contribute with the bat whenever needed. I think when I gave the trials for Delhi Capitals, I spoke to all the coaches. There was a very positive response from everyone about me and that now they are watching me. My season was also very good and when I came back after playing in Duleep Trophy, I went for the trials for Delhi Capitals. That was also a positive that I did well and my trials were also very good here for DC. Then they said, especially Hemang sir, that we are watching you and don't go anywhere for trials. I spoke to Venu sir and Munaf sir, who also gave a positive response. I had it in my mind that if my time in Mushtaq Ali goes well, then I can get a chance this time to play, said Nabi, while replying to a question from IANS in a virtual roundtable chat on Friday. DC will open their IPL 2026 campaign against Lucknow Super Giants at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on April 1. Despite making his name primarily in red-ball cricket, Nabi said he has no intention of overhauling his game for the shortest format, insisting that his ability to swing the ball will remain his primary weapon to execute in IPL 2026. My strength is to swing the ball from both sides. I will keep my focus on that, whether it is a red ball or a white ball game. My focus will always be on swinging the ball from a high point and getting wickets with the new ball. My focus will always be on keeping things as simple as possible and it's better because I will not step away from my strengths, which is to swing the ball from that high point and get early breakthroughs. So I will keep my focus on that, he added. My strength is to swing the ball from both sides. I will keep my focus on that, whether it is a red ball or a white ball game.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score Nabi signed off by talking about his approach to handle the weight of expectations and the pressure of a hefty price tag. I am not thinking about the outside noise. I am just trying to stick to my basics, and I will be doing that in the IPL also. I am not putting the extra pressure by thinking about outside things. So, I will be focusing on my strengths, and I will keep it as simple as I did in domestic games - here as well, in the IPL. Article Source: IANS

Mpower, a holistic mental health care provider and an initiative of the Aditya Birla Education Trust , founded by Mrs Neerja Birla , Founder Chairperson Aditya Birla Education Trust and Mpower, reveal a significant rise in emotional stress, loneliness, and relationship-related challenges among women across urban India. Mrs. Neerja Birla brings womens mental health to centre stage at Mpowering Minds 2026, driving dialogue on evolving needs across life stage Drawing from interactions with over 395,000 female beneficiaries over the past 3 years across counselling centres, helplines, school outreach programmes, and community initiatives, the findings offer a comprehensive view of how mental health concerns among women are evolving across life stages and geographies. The data highlights distinct emotional patterns across age groups, presenting a life-stage view of womens mental health in urban India. Adolescents (below 18) are increasingly engaging with mental health programmes through schools, educational institutions, and counselling services available to them, reflecting both rising awareness and early emotional vulnerability driven by academic pressure, identity formation, and social dynamics. Young women (18-25) frequently report academic stress, career uncertainty, relationship conflicts, and challenges with emotional boundaries as they transition into adulthood. Women in prime working years (26-49) emerge as the most emotionally burdened, experiencing loneliness, relationship strain, workplace stress, financial pressures, and emotional burnout while balancing multiple roles. Women aged 50+ often face loneliness, family transitions, and evolving emotional needs linked to later life stages. While the overarching trends remain consistent, the data reveals distinct city-specific stressors shaped by local socio-economic and cultural contexts : In Delhi , emotional strain is strongly linked to loneliness among working women and boundary and identity challenges among younger women , reflecting the pressures of high-performance urban environments. In Mumbai , family conflict, marital stress, and relationship tensions emerge as dominant concerns, alongside a notable rise in adolescent engagement , indicating increasing openness toward seeking support. In Kolkata , mental health challenges are shaped by academic pressure, emotional isolation, and family expectations , particularly among younger women navigating educational and career transitions. In Bangalore , women frequently report workplace stress, financial pressures, and burnout , reflecting the demands of a fast-paced, career-driven urban ecosystem. Together, these insights highlight how local realities intersect with broader societal shifts , creating layered and evolving mental health challenges for women across India. Further the analysis of data by Mpower highlights key trends emerging across urban India Loneliness is rising , particularly among working women Relationship stress and family conflict are central emotional triggers Workplace and financial pressures are intensifying distress Early mental health engagement is increasing , especially among adolescents Stigma continues to delay timely support Commenting on the findings, Mrs Neerja Birla , Founder and Chairperson, Aditya Birla Education Trust and Mpower , said, Womens mental health is shaped not only by individual experiences but by the systems they navigate every day across work, family and society. As more women come forward to seek support, it is critical that we build accessible, stigma-free ecosystems across homes, workplaces and communities that enable them to prioritise their wellbeing. Adding an experts perspective Dr. Preeti Parakh, Psychiatrist and Head Mpower- The centre Kolkata and Delhi, said, What we are seeing across urban India is a shift from episodic stress to more sustained, layered emotional strain among women. At different life stages, these challenges manifest differently -from identity and boundary-related concerns among younger women to chronic emotional fatigue, loneliness, and role overload among those in their 30s and 40s. This highlights the need to understand womens mental health not as isolated concerns, but as evolving patterns shaped by life transitions, social expectations, and cumulative pressures. Further, Dr. Harshida Bhansali , Head Psychiatrist, Mpower-The Centre, Mumbai , added, Untreated mental health concerns in women often have far-reaching consequences -impacting not only individual wellbeing, but also family dynamics, workplace productivity, and long-term health outcomes. Delayed intervention can lead to more complex psychological and physical conditions over time. Strengthening early access to support through schools, workplaces, and communities, along with normalising help-seeking, is critical to reducing this long-term social and economic cost. The findings underscore the need for coordinated efforts to address womens mental health challenges: Expanding access to affordable counselling services Integrating mental health awareness in education systems Strengthening workplace wellbeing policies Encouraging open, stigma-free conversations Integrating Mental Health into Primary Healthcare Ensuring access to psychiatric care and essential medications Expanding the mental health workforce (psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers) Building early intervention systems for children and adolescents Leveraging digital mental health platforms with quality and privacy safeguards Strengthening implementation of mental health policies and increasing public health funding Developing community-based support systems and peer networks Establishing robust crisis intervention services, including 24/7 helplines Training non-specialists (teachers, managers, frontline workers) in basic mental health support Promoting preventive mental health practices and emotional resilience at all life stages At Mpower, a sustained focus on womens mental health is reflected not only in its on-ground interventions but also in the data emerging from its work, which highlights critical gaps in access, awareness, and continuity of care. Building on these insights, the organisation convened the Mpowering Minds 2026 Womens Mental Health Summit - bringing together experts, practitioners, and thought leaders from India and globally to examine these challenges in depth. The discussions were anchored in real-world evidence, enabling a richer exchange of perspectives and solutions, and culminated in a collective call to action for more integrated, accessible, and life-stageresponsive mental health support systems for women. About Mpower Backed by Aditya Birla Education Trust, Mpower is a pioneering holistic mental health initiative, now marking a decade of impact in transforming mental health awareness and care in India. Since its inception in 2016, under the leadership of Mrs. Neerja Birla, Mpower has been committed to building an inclusive ecosystem where individuals and their caregivers receive professional support, compassionate care, and acceptance - free from stigma or discrimination.

He will always score runs and is capable of giving good starts consistently. He is undoubtedly one of the best players in this league. It's just that we sometimes talk about his strike rate, but as long as you win the match, you don't need to focus much on that, Pathan said on his YouTube channel. Rahul boasts a great record in the tournament. He has scored 5,222 runs in 145 matches. He also holds the record of the highest individual score by an Indian in IPL.

The Antara Care Home in Noida has become the first senior care facility in the district to be awarded the NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers) Care Home Accreditationa set of safety and quality norms designed specifically to standardise care delivery in residential facilities. Noida Care Home in Sector 66 is the second facility in the Antara network to receive NABH Care Home Accreditation its Gurugram Care Home became the first facility in India to receive this certification from the countrys apex healthcare quality. This reflects the organisations continued dedication to excellence in personalised ageing-related care, transparent operations, family involvement in care decisions, and measurable outcomes meeting the highest national standard in senior care. Ishaan Khanna, CEO, Antara Assisted Care Services, said, Choosing a care home for a loved one is ultimately a decision made on trust. The NABH accreditation offers that trust as proof. It means that here care is delivered through defined processes, by qualified and trained professionals, against standards that are independently verified. For us, this certification reflects our long-standing belief that quality senior care cannot be left to chance. Our goal is to extend this standard across our care home network in Delhi-NCR, Bangalore and Chennai, and continue raising the bar for what families should expect from senior care in India. As part of the accreditation process, the Antara Care Home in Noida Sector 66 was assessed across several critical parameters including resident safety, quality of life measures, clinical governance, staff qualifications and training, medication management, infection prevention and control, physical infrastructure standards, including round-the-clock availability of essentials like potable water and electricity, installation and periodic inspection of safety devices. This rigorous evaluation also encompassed several health and safety parameters, including bio-medical waste management systems, regular facility rounds with documented inspections, emergency preparedness and rights of residents through grievance redressal mechanisms. Prem Singh Rathore, Chief Quality Officer, Antara Senior Care, said, Senior care in India has evolved in an informal and fragmented manner.

Its senior population is set to more than double to ~350 million by 2050 (JLL-ASLI report, 2024) with the 80+ population growing by 279% in the same timeframe (UNFPA). To improve health span alongside rising lifespan, the need for structured, reliable, and professionally managed senior care infrastructure is becoming urgent. But India's senior care ecosystem remains largely fragmented and unregulated leading to inconsistencies in care delivery. The adoption of NABH Care Homes Accreditation Standards, introduced by the countrys apex healthcare accreditation body, is a decisive step towards building institutional preparedness to meet Indias rising need for safe and high-quality environments that deliver dignified care. Antara remains committed to redefining senior care by combining medical expertise with an environment designed for dignity, compassion, and trust.

IPL 2026: Aakash Chopra Picks RCB XI, Leaves Out Bethell, Iyer
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has picked his strongest playing XI of the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ahead of their opening match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), which is set to be played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday. RCB has not made significant changes to their squad ahead of the new season, but the additions of Venkatesh Iyer, Jacob Duffy, and Jacob Bethell, along with Devdutt Padikkal looking in great touch, have created a dilemma for the team management when selecting their playing XI. In a video shared on X, Chopra tried to solve the three difficult questions ahead of the team management while selecting the best-suited team for the season. He believes that the first big problem ahead of the RCB is who to select between Padikkal and Iyer at number 3. According to him, despite Iyer providing a bowling option, RCB should go with Padikkal, who is in great touch. Chopra has excluded T20 World Cup 2026 centurion Bethell from his team as he has gone with Phil Salt, Tim David, and Romario Shepherd as overseas batters and all-rounders. According to him, RCB will need to play an overseas fast bowler, and the defending champions should go with New Zealand pacer Duffy, who had a decent World Cup campaign for the role. He has also left out Josh Hazlewood, who arrived on Friday in Bengaluru after recovering from injury. RCB dealt with a big blow ahead of IPL 2026 as their prime bowler, Yash Dayal, has been ruled out of the whole tournament due to personal reasons. As per Chopra, either debutant Mangesh Yadav or Rasikh Salam could take his place in the playing XI.

Karnataka MLAs Raise IPL Ticket Issue In Assembly, Speaker Urges Government To Intervene
Karnataka State Cricket Association: The issue of tickets for Karnataka MLAs for IPL matches at Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium was raised in the Assembly on Thursday, with Speaker U.T. Khader urging the government to take up the matter with the authorities concerned. Khader said that MLAs are currently being issued only one ordinary ticket, reportedly due to concerns that legislators often pass on their tickets to others, leading to overcrowding and management issues in the VIP gallery. He pointed out that this arrangement was causing inconvenience and embarrassment to MLAs. When an MLA goes to watch a match, the staff may not recognise them and may not treat them with due respect. As a result, many MLAs are reluctant to attend matches, he said. The Speaker suggested that the authorities be called for discussions and a clear policy be put in place. He recommended that at least four tickets be issued to each MLA and that proper arrangements be made to ensure they are treated with respect. His remarks were welcomed by legislators, who thumped their desks in support. Leader of the Opposition R. Ashoka alleged that the authorities would not comply easily and suggested that the government use its regulatory powers. He questioned the granting of CL-7 liquor licences at the Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium during matches and the operation of bars at the venue. Tighten the screws, and they will fall in line, he remarked. Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar responded that he would look into the issue. Several MLAs noted that the IPL matches are scheduled to begin from March 28 and demanded that at least five tickets be provided to each legislator along with proper recognition at the venue. Khader clarified that MLAs should not approach him for tickets and instead take up the matter with the Deputy Chief Minister. Some legislators also demanded the creation of a dedicated gallery for MLAs and ministers at the stadium to ensure proper seating and protocol. Ashoka maintained that MLAs would continue to approach the Speaker on the issue. Responding to the concerns, Shivakumar said he would speak to the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) President. There is nothing wrong with MLAs asking for tickets to watch IPL matches in Bengaluru. I will convey that this is the direction of the Speaker and a submission from the Leader of the Opposition, he said, assuring that the matter would be addressed. IPL matches in Bengaluru begin from March 28, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru hosting Sunrisers Hyderabad at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. The demand by MLAs has triggered a discussion on social media in the state. Responding to the concerns, Shivakumar said he would speak to the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) President. There is nothing wrong with MLAs asking for tickets to watch IPL matches in Bengaluru. I will convey that this is the direction of the Speaker and a submission from the Leader of the Opposition, he said, assuring that the matter would be addressed.
