Ishan Kishan Is A Superstar In His Own Right Now; Captaincy Has Improved His Clarity: Rayudu
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India batter Ambati Rayudu praised Ishan Kishans growth and improved maturity after the wicketkeeper-batter guided Sunrisers Hyderabad to a crucial win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their recently concluded IPL 2026 game with a match-winning 79-run knock. Kishan, who won the Player of the Match award, anchored SRHs chase with a composed yet aggressive innings, continuing his strong season for Hyderabad in a campaign built around fearless batting and Rayudu opined that captaining Jharkhan in domestic cricket gave him clarity and helped him transform into a better batter. Speaking after the game, Rayudu reflected on Kishans journey from the highly competitive environment at the Mumbai Indians. For someone like him (Kishan), growing up in a franchise like Mumbai, he wants to be a superstar - he is a superstar in his own right now - but back then to compete against all the stars around him would have been very, very tough, Rayudu told ESPNCricinfo. Rayudu also highlighted the mental challenges young cricketers face while handling pressure and expectations in franchise cricket. Those guys know when to switch on in terms of their game, when to come back. But a lot of these young boys don't know how to switch off or switch on. That's a big challenge and I'm sure he has learnt and he has learnt it the hard way, he said. The former Chennai Super Kings batter credited Kishans improved decision-making and discipline for his recent consistency. Those guys know when to switch on in terms of their game, when to come back.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score He further added that Kishans captaincy stint with the Jharkhand cricket team has played a major role in shaping his batting approach, saying, I think his captaincy for Jharkhand made him realise a lot of things about his own game as well. Sometimes when you get captaincy, people transform into better batsmen and he is one of them who has massively improved in terms of clarity. Article Source: IANS

PMK wants immediate closure of 717 liquor shops as per TN CM''s order
Chennai, May 23: PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss on Saturday urged authorities to immediately implement the Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay's order to close 717 liquor shops across the State. After assuming office on May 10, the chief minister issued an order to close a total of 717 liquor outlets belonging to the state-owned TASMAC, within two weeks. Only 150 from the list of 717 liquor shops have been shut, and that officials concerned have halted the work on closing the remainder, is disappointing, he alleged in a statement here. He said the order came directly from the chief minister, and there is no justification for stopping or delaying closures. The democratically elected head of the government orders the closures, officials must carry out the order rather than delay it for unclear reasons. The PMK leader alleged that the liquor lobby is using its full influence to oppose the governments decision to close the 717 outlets. Under pressure from that lobby, a petition was filed in the Madras High Court seeking to block the closures, he said, adding he court, however, dismissed the petition and commended the governments decision. Stating that the chief minister is acting with good intent to close liquor shops and eliminate illegal outlets, he said, officials must support his aim, not obstruct it.

ASBL Shares the Stage with CM Revanth Reddy at Way2News Conclave on Hyderabad's Real Estate Future
A brand new 30,000-acre city. Three bullet trains. A trillion-dollar economy by 2034. That is the kind of Hyderabad, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is building and he laid it all out, in plain words, at the Way2News Conclave this week. Ajitesh Korupolu, CEO and founder of ASBL with CM Revanth Reddy at Way2News conclave Top political leaders, policy makers, and creators gathered to map out the state's future. Right at the centre of the conversation was ASBL, a key part of the conclave from start to finish, joining the panel discussions, backing the event's vision, and standing out as one of the strongest voices on Hyderabad's growth story. By the close of the evening, ASBL was also awarded with ' Most Innovative Builder of the Decade .' But the spotlight, fittingly, stayed on the CM, who used the stage to lay out exactly where Telangana is heading. On Hyderabad's real estate, the CM spoke with absolute confidence. He made it clear that while the market has shown a lot of progress, it has barely scratched the surface of its true potential. The city is ready to move at a much faster pace. While global shifts like changing economies or the rise of AI are altering how people work and live, Hyderabad is built to handle it. Over the last seven years, the city's real estate has only moved upward, a fact strongly backed by official reports from the CAG, NITI Aayog, and the GST department. For the CM, this past growth is just a small preview; the real story is the massive, untapped future that Hyderabad is now ready to unlock. When asked about the apparent slowdown in the current real estate market and investments, the CM addressed the online noise directly. He stated simply " people putting investment into propaganda, writing lies themselves and believing them ." Pointing to the Financial District, he said, the area has become a major global hub because the government focused on providing top-tier infrastructure, allowing private builders to do what they do best and creating a space where top global companies want to invest. Today, nearly 10 lakh people work there. Highlighting the incredible demand in the micro-market, he noted that land in nearby Raidurg's Knowledge Park recently sold for a record INR 184 crore per acre. The lesson, he said, is simple: the governments core job is to deliver excellent foundational infrastructure like the metro, high-speed highways, and seamless airport connectivity, which gives investors and builders the confidence to develop the city. Bharat Future City, his boldest move, the CM spoke about a brand new 30,000-acre city coming up near Hyderabad. No Indian state, he said, has tried building a full new city at this scale. Earlier projects like the Financial District were just 400 to 500 acres. Future City, he believes, can stand alongside New York, Tokyo, and Singapore. On connectivity, the plans are big. A 12-lane expressway and rail line will link Future City to Machilipatnam port, located on the coast of the Bay of Bengal. And of the seven new bullet trains being rolled out by the Centre, three are coming to Telangana with Hyderabad as the hub, linking Hyderabad to Bengaluru, Chennai, and Mumbai. The bigger picture stayed with him throughout. Telangana has just 3% of India's population but already contributes 5% of GDP. He wants that to double to 10%, and push the state's economy past USD 1 trillion by 2034. Hyderabad and the real estate ecosystem around it sits right at the centre of that push. ASBL strongly shares this forward-thinking vision for Hyderabad and has been actively contributing to the city's development. While the government builds the master infrastructure, ASBL focuses on building the actual spaces that match this high-growth future. Today, ASBL operates 10 million square feet of space with another 10 million in the pipeline, ensuring that as Hyderabad grows toward its trillion-dollar future, ASBL is right there building it. By bringing both new-age construction and sharp thought leadership to the table, ASBL's presence at the conclave showed exactly why it is leading the way in shaping how the city lives and grows. www.asbl.in .
Petrol, diesel prices hiked again by up to 94 paise per litre; third increase in 10 days
New Delhi , May 23 : Petrol and diesel prices were increased again across major metropolitan cities on Saturday, marking the third fuel price hike in less than 10 days amid continuing volatility in global energy markets. In Delhi, petrol prices rose by 87 paise to Rs 99.51 per litre, while diesel prices increased by 91 paise to Rs 92.49 per litre.In Kolkata, petrol prices were hiked by 94 paise to Rs 110.64 per litre, while diesel prices rose by 95 paise to Rs 97.02 per litre.

In Chennai, petrol prices increased by 82 paise to Rs 105.31 per litre, while diesel prices climbed by 87 paise to Rs 96.98 per litre. The latest revision comes just days after fuel prices were increased earlier this week. On Tuesday, petrol prices in Delhi rose by 87 paise from Rs 97.77 to Rs 98.64 per litre, while diesel prices increased by 91 paise from Rs 90.67 to Rs 91.58 per litre.

The repeated hikes come amid a call for fuel conservation as the world faces an energy crisis amid the West Asia conflict, which led to a blockade in the significant maritime trade route, the Strait of Hormuz. The Brent oil prices have been at a record high in the wake of the US-Israel and Iran war, which began on February 28 this year. The Brent oil price has been hovering over USD 100 per barrel as the US and Iran are attempting to mediate for a long-term ceasefire in the region. The widening of the ambit of the war engulfed the West Asian countries, which are major suppliers of fuel. However, India has maintained that there is no shortage of fuel and has adequate energy supplies. (ANI)
Fuel prices in India have seen another hike, with petrol and diesel rates increasing by Rs 0.87 and Rs 0.91 per litre respectively. This marks the third fuel price increase in May, adding to consumer costs. State-run oil companies are facing losses due to selling fuel below market rates, while global crude oil prices surge amid Middle East tensions.
