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. He also did bowling at full tilt, apart from doing his batting and fielding drills seamlessly at CoE. But the late injury setback now leaves Pandya, who has 94 ODI caps, on the verge of missing the upcoming three-game series. Hardik Pandya was close to being fully cleared by CoE for the ODI series against Afghanistan. But it has now come to the light that he has picked up a slight niggle in his leg and will require a few weeks of recovery. This very late setback means he now remains short of achieving full fitness for the ODI series and will now focus on recovering from his latest injury at the CoE, sources to told IANS on Wednesday. Pandyas absence leaves India without one of their most experienced seambowling allrounder as they look to fine tune their combinations for the 2027 Mens ODI World Cup. 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.

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).
