IPL 2026: 'Jaiswal's Biggest Strength Is Self-belief,' Says Rathour After RR Beat MI
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Rajasthan Royals (RR) lead assistant coach Vikram Rathour heaped praise on Yashasvi Jaiswal after his unbeaten 77 powered the side to a convincing win over Mumbai Indians (MI) in IPL 2026 and said the opener has shown again and again that if he believes that he can do something, hell achieve that. After rain reduced the match to 11 overs per side, Yashasvi Jaiswal began the innings with a bang as he hit Deepak Chahar for four boundaries and a maximum to extract 22 runs off the very first over. He remained unbeaten at 77 as RR posted a mammoth total of 150 runs, which proved too much for the five-time champions, as they scored just 123/9 in 11 overs. The biggest strength Yash has is basically the belief that he has in himself. If he believes that he can do something, hell go all out for that, and hell achieve that. Hes shown that again and again, Rathour said in a video released by IPL on X. The former India batting coach further noted that Jaiswals ability to fully commit to his decisions at the crease sets him apart. Whenever he wants to do certain things, hell make up his mind, and hell go with 100% commitment. Today, we could also see that he was committed to playing his shots. He went there with a very clear game plan, and he really backed it, and today it came off, he added. The biggest strength Yash has is basically the belief that he has in himself. If he believes that he can do something, hell go all out for that, and hell achieve that. Hes shown that again and again, Rathour said in a video released by IPL on X.

White Gold Honours Loyalty and Performance at Excellence Night, Gifts Cars to 10 Employees
White Gold hosted its prestigious White Gold Excellence Night on Saturday, bringing together members of the White Gold family for an evening dedicated to recognising loyalty, performance, and the enduring contributions of employees who have played a vital role in the companys growth journey. In a landmark gesture of appreciation, the company gifted 10 cars to outstanding employees in recognition of their exceptional commitment, years of service, and exemplary performance. The White Gold management team shares a proud moment ahead of handing over cars to top performers The event marked a significant milestone for White Gold, which has grown into one of Bengalurus most recognised brands through the collective effort, discipline, and dedication of its people. More than an annual rewards and recognition celebration, White Gold Excellence Night stood as a powerful reflection of the organisations belief in valuing individuals who contribute consistently and grow alongside the company. At a time when much of the corporate conversation is centred on layoffs, restructuring, and workforce uncertainty, White Golds gesture sends a strong and hopeful message to employees and the wider business community. In recognising and rewarding loyalty in such a meaningful manner, the company has reinforced the importance of long term commitment and people first values in building enduring enterprises. In what the company sees as one of the first initiatives of its kind by a South Indian company, White Golds decision to reward employees with cars highlights a rare and inspiring approach to employee recognition. The move reflects the belief that traditional companies can continue to lead with gratitude, responsibility, and faith in their people, even in an evolving and often unpredictable employment environment. The evening also reflected the emotional depth of the White Gold journey. As the company looked back on its growth, it celebrated not just employees, but the shared milestones, trust, and relationships that have helped build the organisation. While White Gold has welcomed many new faces over the years, the event paid tribute to those who stood by the company through its defining moments and helped strengthen it from within. The awardees represented a wide cross section of the organisation, including professionals from administration, finance, gold processing, sales, branch management, and support services. Among those recognised were Mr. Jiju Kochappan, Administration Manager; Mr. Suresh K Sebastian, Gold Processing Manager; Mr. Augustine Kumar, Senior Finance Manager; Mr. Anand R, Sales Manager; Mr. Praveen N, Sales Manager; Mr. Haribabu J, Chauffeur; Mr. Bharath Kumar R, Senior Branch Manager; and Mr. Manoj B, Senior Branch Manager, along with other deserving awardees whose loyalty and performance have left a lasting impact on the organisation. A particularly meaningful moment of the evening was the recognition of Mr. Haribabu J, Chauffeur, whose honour symbolised one of the strongest values White Gold wanted to celebrate. His recognition showed that at White Gold, value is not defined by designation alone. It is defined by loyalty, trust, consistency, and the quiet strength with which a person serves the organisation every single day. Having been a part of the companys journey since 2013, Mr. Haribabu has represented dependability and dedication in its truest form. By honouring him alongside managers and senior leaders, White Gold sent a clear message that contribution matters more than title, and that loyalty remains one of the highest values an organisation can uphold. Each honouree was celebrated not only for professional achievement, but also for embodying the values that White Gold stands for, including discipline, responsibility, humility, and a deep sense of ownership. Their contributions, whether visible on the front lines or behind the scenes, have played a defining role in the companys continued progress and success. For White Gold, the cars symbolised far more than rewards. They represented appreciation, trust, and a legacy of mutual growth between the company and its people. The evening served as a reminder that when organisations invest in loyalty and recognise sincere effort, they create a culture that inspires others to remain committed and strive for excellence. The message from White Gold Excellence Night was simple and powerful: stay committed, work hard, and value will follow. In honouring its employees so visibly and generously, White Gold has not only celebrated achievement but also kept alive an important belief in todays business environment: that companies can still reward loyalty, uphold traditional values, and offer hope through meaningful recognition. About White Gold White Gold is one of South India's most trusted gold buying brands, built on a foundation of teamwork, transparency, and long-term commitment. With 100+ branches across Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana, White Gold has grown into a strong and reliable presence in the industry.
