IPL 2026: Five Teams Remain In Hunt For Lone Remaining Playoff Spot
Indian Premier League: As we draw closer to the end of the league stage in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, the race for the playoffs has gotten quite interesting. With RCB, GT, and SRH having already booked their places in the top 4, there is now just one remaining spot for which five teams are battling it out. RCB was the first team to officially book their spot after a convincing win against Punjab Kings in Dharamsala on Sunday. SRH booked their spot the next day after a victory over Chennai Super Kings in Chepauk which also confirmed Gujarat Titans' playoff berth. Two teams, Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants, are officially out of the running. RCB remain the favorites for a top two finish. They will finish in the top two regardless of their result against SRH if CSK beat GT on the 21st or if RCB defeat SRH in Hyderabad on the 22nd . If they do win their final game, they will finish first with 20 points, and even a loss shouldn't put them outside of the top two with a healthy net run rate of 1.065 as GT would need to defeat CSK by an extremely large margin to surpass them. It is up to Gujarat Titans to win their final game and hoping SRH lose to RCB to get into the top two. If they do win but lose their game, then a top two place will be decided by the net run rate among them and SRH, with all potentially on 18 points. SRH were already qualified after a brilliant win over CSK and look set to push GT for the top two if they beat RCB. They will automatically finish second in the table if they beat RCB and GT lose their game, but it would go down to net run rate if GT win. However, PBKS still remain very much alive for the fourth playoff spot despite their loss against RCB. PBKS can still finish with a maximum of 15 points and require both a win against LSG and a loss for Rajasthan Royals at least once, while Kolkata Knight Riders also need to falter and finish below PBKS on net run rate. Even a win with 13 points is plausible if other results go PBKS' way (e.g. RR losing at least one of their two matches and CSK losing both their games). RR look favorites among the chasing teams as their fate is in their own hands. They play excluded sides LSG and MI in their last two matches and should secure their qualification spot if they win both to finish on 16 points. However, even 14 points could be sufficient if CSK, PBKS and Delhi Capitals falter while MI beat KKR. The loss to SRH was a bad one for CSK as they now stand at 12 points with one game to play against GT and will finish on 14 if they beat GT. The top two finish between them and DC is likely going to go down to net run rate as CSK currently holds the advantage. DC's chance of qualification seems minimal because of their poor net run rate of -0.871 and require a win over KKR to get 14 points and an LSG win over PBKS while praying RR and CSK both lose their remaining two and one match respectively and GT beat CSK. CSK as they now stand at 12 points with one game to play against GT and will finish on 14 if they beat GT. The top two finish between them and DC is likely going to go down to net run rate as CSK currently holds the advantage.

Petrol, diesel prices hiked for second time a week, up 90 paise
New Delhi, May 19: Petrol and diesel prices were hiked by about 90 paise per litre on Tuesday, marking the second increase in fuel rates in less than a week after state-run oil firms ended a nearly four-year freeze on revisions. The increase pushed petrol prices in New Delhi to Rs 98.64 per litre from Rs 97.77, while diesel rose to Rs 91.58 from Rs 90.67, according to industry sources. On Friday, petrol and diesel prices were raised by Rs 3 per litre on Friday for the first time in more than four years, as surging global crude prices following the Iran war forced state-run fuel retailers to pass on part of their mounting losses after months of holding rates steady through key state elections. Rates vary across states due to differences in value-added tax. On May 15, compressed natural gas (CNG) prices were also raised by Rs 2 per kg in cities, including Delhi and Mumbai. On Sunday, CNG prices were again hiked by Re 1 a kg. Global crude prices have surged more than 50 per cent since US-Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 and Tehran's retaliation, disrupting flows through the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for global oil shipments. Despite the surge, retail fuel rates were kept frozen at two-year-old rates as part of what the government said was an effort to shield price-sensitive consumers from higher global energy costs. But the opposition parties saw political motives behind the move as key states went to polls. The Rs 3 a litre increase on Friday followed the completion of elections and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) expanding its influence after winning three of five states, including West Bengal. That increase covered just a fifth of the desired hike required to level rates with cost. On Monday, Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, had stated that the May 15 hike had cut losses by a fourth and that oil companies were still incurring about Rs 750 crore a day loss. After Tuesday's increase, petrol and diesel prices are now the highest since May 2022. Prices have remained on freeze since April 2022, but for a one-off reduction by Rs 2 a litre each on petrol and diesel in March 2024, just before Lok Sabha elections. Rates were last hiked in April 2022. Petrol in Mumbai now costs Rs 107.59 a litre and diesel costs Rs 94.08 per litre. In Kolkata, petrol now costs Rs 109.70 per litre and diesel Rs 96.07, while in Chennai, prices increased to Rs 104.49 for petrol and Rs 96.11 for diesel. Industry sources said the price hike is modest relative to the rise in crude prices and still leaves retailers absorbing significant losses. According to Crisil, losses on petrol were about Rs 10 per litre and Rs 13 on diesel after May 15 increase. The two price increases follow excise duty cuts announced in March and come as the government rolls out measures to curb fuel consumption and contain the country's oil import bill. Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week urged fuel conservation, work-from-home practices and reduced travel as higher energy prices strain India's foreign exchange reserves and threaten to widen the current account deficit for a third straight year. Some state governments have already instructed departments to limit travel, avoid physical meetings and operate with reduced office staffing. Private fuel retailers had already increased pump prices. Nayara Energy, the country's largest private fuel retailer, in March, raised petrol prices by Rs 5 per litre and diesel by Rs 3, while Shell increased petrol prices by Rs 7.41 and diesel by Rs 25 per litre from April 1. In Bengaluru, Shell sells petrol at Rs 119.85 per litre and diesel at Rs 123.52. Domestic cooking gas LPG prices were raised in March by Rs 60 per cylinder, but they are still way lower than the actual cost. Oil companies are losing Rs 674 per 14.2-kg cylinder of LPG. Industry sources said the price hike appears calibrated - enough to partially ease margin pressure on oil companies without creating a major inflationary shock. The increase, however, will have some impact on inflation, they said. India's retail inflation, measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), rose to 3.48 per cent in April 2026 from 3.40 per cent in March, while wholesale price inflation (WPI) surged to 8.3 per cent, a 42-month high, driven by a sharp rise in fuel and energy prices amid elevated global crude oil rates.

At a time when the worlds attention was riveted on Delhi, hosting the BRICS Foreign Ministers meeting, and on Beijing, where Donald Trump held a summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Kashmir was building an inspiring story of its own. There was a lot of debate whetherTrump-Xi summit ended with a success or it delivered one-sided results in favour of Beijing, the pivot of Asian power. There also was a debate whether BRICS Foreign Ministers were able to convey message of multilateralism more effectively than the emerging reality of G-2- US and China. This debate will go on and analysts will stay divided on these issues. Amidst all this, Kashmir was writing its own story of inspiration, on which there is no debate nor any scope of argument. A new awakening has gripped the people about their future and posterity as they are feeling the heat of climate change. It has twin angles one is natural, and other is man made. Kashmir is determined to reverse the manmade part of it, though it has its own difficulties. This save environment campaign is not all about preserving trees, snow and mountains, it, in essence is the lasting quest for peace of their region. They are now investing in the campaign and practice of saving the environmentin all senses of the word. That is crucial for the geopolitics and geo-economics of the region. It is to stop fighting against the nature and embrace everything that makes Kashmir, the Kashmir. Growing concerns over environmental degradation, rising temperatures, shrinking rivers and melting glaciers found profound expressions in the public discourse. The overwhelming nostalgia for bygone era has given way to a renewed consciousness, inspiring the preservation of everything nature has blessed Kashmir with. What has happened to my Kashmir is the common refrain. Kashmir is talking about the story that world wants to listen to. These concerns about environmental degradation havea geopolitical relevance, which can easily be explained the way West Asian crises have triggered campaigns to reduce use and reliance on fossil fuel. The whole world, without any exaggeration, is thinking of alternatives. Not that Kashmir was the first to talk about itor practice it, but it did something extraordinary by thinking of inland waterways, reducing pressure on fuel and roads. There is a plan to rollout major river transport services across Jammu and Kashmir. The glimpses of these would-be projects were seen at a recent meeting in Srinagar whereJ&Ks modern inland watertransport serviceswere discussed with a big role of the administration andofficials of the Inland WaterwaysAuthority of India (IWAI). The meeting held in Srinagar on May 14 was chaired by Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo. The projectaims to develop sustainable and eco-friendlytransport along the rivers Jhelum, Chenab and Ravi-with a focus on cruise tourism, passenger mobility and navigational facilities. It wasrevealed thatsignificant progress has been achieved on National Waterway-49 along the river Jhelum, where a 76-kilometre cruise corridor from Pantha Chowk to Wular Lake is under development. Construction of eight floating jetties is underway and expected to be completed by July 2026, while shore infrastructure is targeted for completion by July 2027. IWAI officials further stated that navigational aids are likely to be installed by July 2026, while dredging and fairway maintenance operations are being jointly carried out to ensure smooth navigation. And, as part of the green mobility initiative, IWAI is also procuring ten hybrid electric boats with a capacity of 20 passengers each. The vessels are expected to be delivered by March 2027, read an official release. This is a multi-dimensional environment-friendly, geopolitical and internal resilience project. The river Jhelum, in particular, is in dire need of high-quality and deep dredging in a scientific manner. Thats the need of the hour. The use of the river waters for inland transport is possible only if it is restored and rejuvenated at the earliest. In the aftermath of the devastating floods of September 2014, there was much talk of going in for dredging, and millions were spent, but the result is that the efforts worked in reverse. It became more of an money-minting exercise as the most unscientific approach was adopted dredging in Srinagar city instead of opening the mouthat Wular. Today, the river is shrinking and the water flow is far short of its original flow. The river bed encroachments have reappeared, and the crisis has worsened. The shrinking of the river has reduced people to watch in a state of helplessnesstheir agriculture heartland parch a little more each year. The new project can inject fresh life into the river and add to survival of crops in adverse climatic conditions. This is interlinked to the food security as well. It should be hoped that acceleration of the inland waterways will correct the course. That will also help in saving water, which is needed for various schemes from water supply to augmenting irrigation schemes. More importantly, Kashmir will benefit from its own water.This self-sufficiency in water resources can help stand Kashmir on a bigger pedestal of self-confidence. A huge investment is required in this infrastructural development. Peoples movement is shaping up; aimed at reviving and rejuvenating their natural resources. More water means more trees and green growth too. Kashmir knows that the environmental degradation is one of the biggest threats to its existence. It has witnessed floods, wildfires, and sometimes drought-like conditions. These are becoming more dramatic and frequent in this fragile region. This point has been flagged in the media outlets and some of the NGOs are working earnestly to make population aware of the consequences of acceptance of this degradation as part of life. Newspapers, particularly Greater Kashmir has been laying thrust on this aspect. Other media organisations were also contributing in their own way. The Valley has its own position in setting the narratives. Once it gets into environment protection with the zeal it is promising, I am sure that that will set tone for the rest of the region and neighbourhood. Give it a chance and support its initiatives.
Upto 6% conviction in UAPA cases nationally: SC
New Delhi, May 18:The Supreme Court on Monday flagged low conviction rates under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and said that more than 90 percent of such trials culminate in acquittals. A bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan made the observations while granting bail to a Jammu and Kashmir resident, Syed Iftikhar Andrabi, accused in a narco-terrorism case. The top court referred to data compiled by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) and said that the country-wide percentage of convictions under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for the five years from 2019-23 hovers between 2 percent and 6 percent. In other words, there is a 94 percent to 98 percent possibility of acquittal in such cases in the country. When it comes to the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, the percentage of conviction is abysmal, to say the least. For the aforesaid period, the annual rate of conviction is always less than 1 percent. It means that at the end of the trial, there is a 99 percent possibility of acquittal in such cases. With such statistics staring at our face, the question is, should we continue the detention of the appellant or defer the consideration to a later stage, simply because the charges are serious? the bench said. The top court also said that, on due consideration, it believed that Andrabi has made out a case for the grant of bail during the pendency of the trial, as there is no recovery of cash or contraband from the person of the appellant or from the premises used by the appellant, either as his residence or place of work. All statements implicating the appellant have been made before the police, including the confessions allegedly made by the appellant himself, which, prima facie, are self-incriminating and hit by Section 25 of the Evidence Act, 1872. The appellant has no prior antecedents of being connected with the narcotic trade or in terrorist activities. At least, no such material has been placed on record. On the contrary, it is stated that the appellant is an ardent advocate of the constitutional, federal and democratic set-up of India. He is a supporter of the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Conference, a registered mainstream political party, the bench noted. Andrabi had challenged an order passed by the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, which dismissed his bail plea, saying the scrutiny of cellphone records indicated that he had been in touch with terror operatives across the border. Narrating the sequence of events leading to the apprehension of the accused, the NIA had said that on June 11, 2020, police intercepted a car belonging to Abdul Momin Peer at Kairo Bridge, Handwara. During a search, Rs 20.01 lakh in cash and 2 kg of heroin were seized, and Peer was arrested. Later, on his disclosure, the police arrested Andrabi and Islam-ul-Haq Peer. Investigation revealed that the accused were allegedly involved in cross-border smuggling and supply of heroin in Jammu and Kashmir and other parts of the country after procuring the same from their associates in Pakistan, the chargesheet said. Andrabi and Abdul Momin Peer had visited Pakistan several times during 2016-17 to meet the operatives of terrorist organisations, including Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen, it said, adding that the amount generated from the sale of heroin was used by the accused to further the terrorist activities of Lashkar-e-Taiba. GREATER KASHMIR ADD TO THE REPORT The appellant was represented by senior advocate Shadan Farasat along with other advocates including Talha Abdul Rahman, Umair Andrabi, Tanisha, Naseer H Jafri, Dilwar H Barlaskar, Uzair, Sudhanshu Tewari, Deepesh Kasana, Faizan Ahmed and M Shaz Khan. The senior counsel vehemently argued that four of the co-accused have been granted bail; one by the Apex Court and three by the High Court. Therefore, there was no reason why the appellant should continue to languish in jail, he said. To the allegations levelled against appellant being accused no 2 in the case, it was submitted that there was no material on record to show even a prima facie case against him under the NDPS Act. The recovery of cash and contraband allegedly on June 11, 2020 from the bedroom of accused No 1 was already reported in the public domain as having been recovered from the accused No 1, on June 10, 2020 at Bemina, Srinagar. In any view of the matter, it was argued that there was no recovery either from the person of the appellant or from any premises used by the appellant as his residence or working place. It was further argued the charge of terror cannot stand independent of the charge under the NDPS Act. When there is no evidence of sale or purchase of narcotics nor is there any admissible evidence of recovery of narcotics or funds from the appellant, not to speak of having found him in conscious possession of any narcotic; the whole premise of terror funding charges against the appellant under the UAP Act collapses.
