IPL 2026: Rock Solid RCB Face Resurgent GT In High-stakes Qualifier 1 At Dharamshala (Preview)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru will carry the quiet confidence of defending champions into Qualifier 1 when they face Gujarat Titans in a high-stakes clash at the HPCA Stadium on Tuesday. The winner goes straight to the final in Ahmedabad on Sunday, while the loser will need to take the longer road to get into the title clash. Both sides ended the league stage on 18 points from 14 matches, with RCB claiming top spot on net run rate, as a reward for being the most consistently good side across the full league stage. When RCB cruised to a chase of 206 against GT in their backyard on April 24, the Shubman Gill-led side were still a conservative side stuck in the middle of the points table. From that point, GT have surged to be the best bowling side in the competition and now find themselves in the running to get their second IPL title. But they run into an in-form RCB who have got a lot of things going in their favour - captain Rajat Patidar is in good nick, so as Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Venkatesh Iyer and Tim David. Consistent returns from the new-ball pairing of Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar along with Krunal Pandya being frugal have helped RCB too. Meanwhile, GT's late-season surge, though, has been built on bowling. Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada and Prasidh Krishna have struck hard with the new ball, while Rashid Khan and Jason Holder have controlled the middle overs with quiet authority. An 89-run hammering of Chennai Super Kings in their final league game underlined GT's arrival as one of the most formidable sides in the tournament right now, though Tuesdays game will be the first time they will be playing an IPL game in Dharamshala, a place which favours teams winning by chasing as seen from the sample size of two games in this season. The individual duels will be worth watching closely - Kohli against Rabada and Siraj on a pitch offering extra bounce, and Hazlewood bowling to Gill and Sai Sudharsan in the powerplay where GT's top-order reliance makes those first six overs critical in deciding the first finalist of IPL 2026.

When Cricket Hate Crossed Boundary: Five Disturbing Cases Of Abuse Targeting Cricketers Families
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Cricket has long been celebrated as a gentlemans game, but in the age of social media, the line between passionate fandom and online mob fury has increasingly blurred. Too often, it is the families of cricketers who pay the heaviest price. Over the past decade, several incidents involving communal abuse, rape threats, relentless trolling, and mental-health trauma have exposed the darker side of modern cricket fandom. From India to Australia, prominent cricketers and their loved ones have endured severe online harassment after defeats, controversial moments, or heated rivalries. In response, players and their families have repeatedly urged fans to remember that behind every athlete is a real person with a family, and that rivalries should remain confined to the field. Here are five of the most disturbing examples: 1. Jessica Head abused after Travis Heads heated moment with Virat Kohli (2026) A tense on-field exchange between Travis Head and Virat Kohli during Sunrisers Hyderabads recent IPL clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru spilled far beyond the boundary ropes, with Heads wife Jessica becoming the target of online abuse. During RCBs chase, Kohli and Head exchanged words, though the exact nature of the altercation remains unclear. After SRH completed a dominant 55-run win, Head attempted to shake hands with Kohli during the customary post-match greetings, but the former India captain walked past him without responding while greeting other SRH players. The clip quickly went viral, triggering intense reactions online. Jessica later revealed that she, along with family members and friends, was subjected to abuse on social media. She added that similar harassment had followed Australias victories over India in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, the World Test Championship final, and the 2024 Boxing Day Test. It feels like a repeat of the abuse that happened after the World Cup. I woke up to my socials blasting we are fine but they are attacking my friends and family, Jessica told The Advertiser. Highlighting the wider issue of mental health in sport, she added: Passion will always be part of sport, but so is remembering there are real people and families behind the game. 2. Mohammed Shami targeted with communal abuse after Indias 2021 T20 World Cup loss (2021) Indias crushing 10-wicket defeat to Pakistan at the 2021 ICC Mens T20 World Cup sparked one of the ugliest episodes of online harassment faced by an Indian cricketer. After Pakistan comfortably chased 151 in Dubai, Mohammed Shami, who returned figures of 0/43 in 3.5 overs, became the focus of widespread abuse on social media. The criticism soon turned communal, with trolls targeting him for being the only Muslim player in Indias XI. Shami was labelled a traitor, accused of deliberately underperforming, and subjected to Islamophobic abuse that highlighted the toxic intersection of sport, nationalism, and religion online. The then-India captain Virat Kohli strongly defended his teammate ahead of the sides next match. Theres a good reason why we are playing on the field and not some bunch of spineless people on social media, Kohli said, condemning the trolls in unusually sharp terms. He also rejected the religious angle entirely, calling such attacks the most pathetic thing that a human being can do. Shami largely stayed silent during the controversy, but later hit back in an interview with The Indian Express, saying: Those who troll are neither real fans, nor are they real Indians. He eventually responded in the best possible way on the field, finishing as the leading wicket-taker at the 2023 ODI World Cup. 3. Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma and daughter Vamika subjected to rape threats (2021) Virat Kohli and actor Anushka Sharma have long faced intense online scrutiny, but the backlash following Indias disappointing 2021 T20 World Cup campaign crossed an alarming line. As criticism of Kohlis captaincy intensified, Anushka once again became the target of misogynistic trolling. However, the outrage escalated further when the couples infant daughter, Vamika, received rape threats and violent online comments. The abuse triggered widespread condemnation from players, commentators, and public figures, many describing it as one of the darkest moments in Indian sports discourse. Police authorities launched investigations into several threatening posts, and in November 2021, Mumbai Polices cyber cell arrested a 23-year-old software engineer from Hyderabad in connection with one such threat. The episode underscored a troubling pattern in celebrity sports culture, where the families of athletes, particularly women and children, become targets after high-profile defeats. What made the case even more disturbing was that Kohli and Anushka had consistently tried to shield Vamika from public attention. 4. MS Dhonis daughter Ziva threatened after CSKs defeats (2020) In 2020, MS Dhonis family became the centre of another shocking case of online abuse after Chennai Super Kings poor IPL season. Following CSKs defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders in Abu Dhabi, Dhonis five-year-old daughter Ziva received rape threats on social media. The threats surfaced on the Instagram accounts of Dhoni and his wife Sakshi soon after CSK failed to chase down 168, losing by 10 runs. What began as frustration over the teams performances quickly escalated into widespread outrage once the threats became public. The incident was condemned across the country by politicians, former cricketers, and civil society groups, many of whom described it as a new low in online sports culture. After formal complaints were filed, Gujarat Police traced one of the threatening messages to a 16-year-old Class 12 student from Mundra in Kutch district. The episode reignited debate over the growing toxicity of online fandom, particularly when abuse is directed at children completely removed from the sporting arena. 5. David Warner and Candice Warner after the Sandpaper Gate scandal (2018) The fallout from Australias infamous 2018 ball-tampering scandal extended well beyond the players involved, with David Warners family becoming a major target of public hostility. As one of the central figures in the controversy during Australias tour of South Africa, Warner faced relentless criticism, but his wife Candice Warner later revealed the immense emotional toll the scandal took on their family. In interviews following the episode, Candice spoke about the constant online abuse and personal attacks directed at them. She revealed that the prolonged stress and public scrutiny coincided with a miscarriage, which she linked to the emotional trauma of the period. The Warner family also faced repeated crowd hostility during matches. Spectators wore masks referencing Candices past relationships and directed personalised chants at her from the stands. In interviews following the episode, Candice spoke about the constant online abuse and personal attacks directed at them. She revealed that the prolonged stress and public scrutiny coincided with a miscarriage, which she linked to the emotional trauma of the period.

we-stood-by-them-in-difficult-times-dmk-congress-feud-escalates-after-alliance-breakup-in-tamil-nadu
The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the Congress, allies until a month ago, are now engaged in a bitter war of words after the Congress quit the alliance and backed actor-politician C. Joseph Vijay in forming the government in Tamil Nadu. The latest flashpoint came on Sunday when DMK Youth Wing secretary Udhayanidhi Stalin accused the Congress of stabbing the party in the back and urged cadres never to trust the national party again. For over 20 years, the Congress party rode on our backs. Today, they have stabbed us in the back. No one should ever forget this. We must never trust the Congress at any point in the future, nor should we ever let them come near us again, Udhayanidhi said while addressing a DMK Youth Wing meeting in Chennai. The Congress hit back, saying it had always stood by the DMK during difficult times. We waited outside when they had a minority, Congress leader Manickam Tagore told ANI. The Congress, which won five seats in the Assembly elections, quickly extended support to Vijays Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), which secured 208 seats ten short of a majority. Vijay eventually formed the government with the backing of the Muslim League, CPI, CPI(M) and the VCK, all former DMK allies. Notably, barring the Congress, all these parties reportedly backed Vijay after consulting DMK president M. K. Stalin, who was said to be keen on avoiding immediate political instability and the possibility of a re-election. However, subsequent remarks by several DMK leaders, including Stalin himself, suggest that the Dravidian major expects the Vijay government to collapse in the near future. Launching a sharp attack on the Congress, Udhayanidhi blamed the party rather than the BJP leadership for the saffron party's consecutive national election victories. He also said DMK workers had shed blood and sweat to secure Congress victories in the state, primarily to protect secularism and keep the BJP out of Tamil Nadu. Even in this election, a virtually non-existent Congress managed to win five seats solely because of our leaders instructions and the tireless work of DMK cadres. But immediately after winning, they ran away for the sake of power, without even the courtesy of informing us, he alleged. Calling Udhayanidhis remarks unacceptable, Tagore said the Congress had always stood with the secular alliance. The BJP was trying to broker ties between the DMK and AIADMK, which goes against our principles. Any understanding with the BJP will not be tolerated by the Congress, he said.

New Delhi , May 25 : Petrol and diesel prices were hiked once again on Monday, marking the fourth increase in less than two weeks amid continued volatility in global crude markets and ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Following the latest revision, petrol prices in Delhi crossed the Rs 100-mark, rising by Rs 2.61 to Rs 102.12 per litre, while diesel prices increased by Rs 2.71 to Rs 95.20 per litre. Similar hikes were witnessed across major metropolitan cities, including Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai, adding to the burden on consumers and transport operators.In Kolkata, petrol prices increased by Rs 2.87 to Rs 113.51 per litre, while diesel rose by Rs 2.80 to Rs 99.82 per litre. In Mumbai, petrol became costlier by Rs 2.72 and is now priced at Rs 111.21 per litre, whereas diesel climbed by Rs 2.81 to Rs 97.83 per litre. In Chennai, petrol prices rose by Rs 2.46 to Rs 107.77 per litre and diesel increased by Rs 2.57 to Rs 99.55 per litre.Reacting to the repeated hikes, a buyer said, We are very upset. They are not even giving diesel in many places. This should be discussed. Taxi drivers will face more problems. The rate of diesel should be decreased.Another buyer said, It is fine. The government should do whatever is required to save the country. It is because of Israel war.A third commuter added, It is tough for the common man. This impacts everything. We will see what the government can do regarding this.The latest revision comes after three successive hikes in recent days. On May 15, petrol and diesel prices were increased by Rs 3 per litre each. This was followed by another increase on May 19, when fuel prices were raised by 90 paise per litre. On May 23, petrol prices rose by 87 paise per litre, while diesel prices were increased by 91 paise per litre, making the current revision the fourth hike in less than two weeks. Meanwhile, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) prices in Delhi were also increased earlier on Saturday by Rs 1 per kg, marking the third hike in just 10 days. Following the latest revision, CNG now costs Rs 81.09 per kg in the national capital, further adding to the financial burden on daily commuters and transport operators. The repeated fuel price hikes come amid sustained pressure on oil marketing companies due to elevated global crude oil prices, fluctuations in currency exchange rates and concerns over supply disruptions linked to the ongoing tensions in West Asia. A major concern remains the instability in the region and its impact on global oil supply routes, particularly the Strait of Hormuz, a key maritime corridor through which a substantial share of global crude oil shipments pass. Any disruption or perceived threat in the region generally leads to a sharp rise in international oil prices. The continued hikes in petrol, diesel and CNG prices are likely to increase logistics and transportation costs further, potentially triggering a cascading effect on retail inflation and impacting household budgets as well as commercial transport sectors across the country.
