IPL 2026: Ben Dwarshius Debuts For PBKS As DC Elect To Bowl In Dharamsala
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to field against Punjab Kings in the Match 55 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala, on Monday. For the Delhi Capitals, it is now or never. After the eliminations of Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians on Sunday, DC remain only mathematically alive in the playoff race. Sitting eighth with eight points from 11 games, another defeat will officially end their campaign. PBKS, meanwhile, have hit a slight slump with three consecutive defeats after a dominant start that saw them win six of their first seven matches. Even so, they are still firmly in contention, and a victory here could propel them back to the top of the table. Axar Patel tried to keep the mood light, saying at least there was one thing going right for him, and that was winning the toss. He said DC had not been playing bad cricket but admitted they had lost key moments in matches on a number of occasions. Axar said the team wanted to stay true to its brand of cricket and take the results as they come. You dont know how pitches are playing until you play on them, says Shreyas. Don't think too much about the points table, just focus on the little details and back your instincts, he says. He says that is what they have lacked in the last few matches - believing in their instincts. Ups and downs are part of the IPL, and it is all about getting the best performance. Shreyas: Dwarshuis comes in for Lockie, who has a slight niggle. That is the only change for the Punjab Kings. Punjab Kings made two changes to their side, bringing in Priyansh Arya and Ben Dwarshuis in place of Vyshak Vijaykumar and Lockie Ferguson. Delhi Capitals, meanwhile, rang in five changes, with Abishek Porel, Sahil Parakh, David Miller, Madhav Tiwari, and Auqib Nabi replacing Sameer Rizvi, Nitish Rana, Pathum Nissanka, Ashutosh Sharma, and Vipraj Nigam. Playing XIs: Delhi Capitals: KL Rahul (wk), Abishek Porel, Sahil Parakh, Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Axar Patel (c), Madhav Tiwari, Mukesh Kumar, Auqib Nabi, Lungi Ngidi, Mitchell Starc Impact substitutes: Sameer Rizvi, Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Tripurana Vijay, Pathum Nissanka Delhi Capitals: KL Rahul (wk), Abishek Porel, Sahil Parakh, Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Axar Patel (c), Madhav Tiwari, Mukesh Kumar, Auqib Nabi, Lungi Ngidi, Mitchell Starc Also Read: Live Cricket Score Impact substitutes: Vishnu Vinod, Yash Ravisingh Thakur, Xavier Bartlett, Harpreet Brar, Praveen Dubey Article Source: IANS

Jewellery stocks tumble; Sky Gold slumps over 12 pc
New Delhi, May 11: Jewellery stocks faced heavy selling pressure on Monday, with Sky Gold and Senco Gold tumbling over 10 per cent, after Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for postponing the purchase of gold and foreign travel for one year to save foreign exchange amid the West Asia crisis. In the short-term, the appeal may slow discretionary purchases, particularly in jewellery demand, and create cautious sentiment across bullion and jewellery-related businesses, an expert said. Sky Gold And Diamonds Ltd fell sharply by 12.24 per cent, Senco Gold cracked 11 per cent, Kalyan Jewellers tumbled 9.99 per cent, Thangamayil Jewellery tanked 9.79 per cent, Titan Company dived 8 per cent, Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri lost 6.83 per cent and PC Jeweller dropped 5.67 per cent on the BSE. In the equity market, the 30-share BSE Sensex tanked 1,082.40 points to 76,243.56 in morning trade. The 50-share NSE Nifty dropped 309.45 points to 23,865.10. Emphasising that the Centre is trying to shield people from the adverse impact of the conflict in West Asia, PM Modi on Sunday called for judicious use of fuel, postponement of gold purchases and foreign travel, among other measures, to strengthen the economy. Addressing a rally organised by the Telangana BJP in Hyderabad, he suggested reducing petrol and diesel consumption, using metro rail services in cities, carpooling, increased use of electric vehicles (EVs), utilising railway services for parcel movement, and working from home to conserve foreign exchange amid the crisis in West Asia. Stressing the need to save foreign exchange due to the crisis, Modi called for postponing the purchase of gold and foreign travel for one year. PM Modi's appeal to the nation to curb the consumption of petrol/diesel, gold, chemical fertilisers and edible oil and refrain from avoidable foreign travel is a crisis management response to the current account deficit problem caused by high crude prices, V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Ltd, said. This call for austerity has slightly negative implication for economic growth in FY27, he said. Particularly, the industries related to the austerity call like petroleum, chemical fertilisers, gold, air travel, hotel and related sectors will be sentimentally impacted, Vijayakumar added. Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst, Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities, said PM Modi's remarks on delaying gold purchases should be viewed primarily from the perspective of India's macroeconomic stability and import management. India is one of the world's largest gold importers, and during periods of elevated crude oil prices and global uncertainty, high gold imports put additional pressure on the country's trade deficit and the rupee, Trivedi said. The timing of the statement is important because India is facing a combination of higher crude prices, geopolitical tensions linked to the US-Iran situation, and pressure on the currency due to rising import bills, he said. The appeal is unlikely to significantly change long-term Indian demand for gold because gold remains deeply linked to savings, investment, and cultural buying patterns. However, in the short-term, it may slow discretionary purchases, particularly in jewellery demand, and create cautious sentiment across bullion and jewellery-related businesses, Trivedi added.

J-K CM calls on Amit Shah to discuss statehood, business rules for UT
New Delhi, May 11: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah called on Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday where the two leaders discussed issues concerning the Union territory. Before leaving for the national capital, the chief minister told reporters in Srinagar that he would discuss all the issues concerning Jammu and Kashmir. I wish we could have got our statehood after one meeting with the home minister. If that was the case, we would have got it a long time ago. But yes, I will raise statehood, business rules and other issues concerning Jammu and Kashmir in the meeting, he said. Abdullah also said that there was othing wrong in giving telecom powers to the lieutenant governor (LG) during public safety events, as he holds the charge of security and law and order. This is the right thing. These powers should be with the lieutenant governor. This is not against the business rules or the reorganisation act, the chief minister told reporters. He said that orders to stop phone services or internet are issued by the home department, which comes under the LG. The Centre has last week authorised the Jammu and Kashmir LG to exercise powers, such as interception of signals, suspension of service and decryption of messages, related to telecom services in the UT during public safety events or national emergency. According to the order issued on Thursday, the President directed the LG to exercise the powers and discharge the functions of the state government under Sub-Section 20 (2) of the Telecommunications Act, 2023 (44 of 2023), which deals with situations involving public safety and national security, within the UT.

I Still See Punjab Kings & Royal Challengers Bengaluru As My IPL 2026 Finalists: Gavaskar
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: India legend Sunil Gavaskar has picked Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru as the finalists for the IPL 2026 season after the Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants were eliminated from the race to the playoffs. RCB orchestrated one of the most astonishing victories in tournament history, edging past MI by two wickets in a chaotic last-ball thriller. Having suffered their eighth loss in 11 games, MI hopes of qualifying for the playoffs have been dashed. Meanwhile, RCB have moved to the top spot on the table with their seventh win in 11 games. On the other hand, PBKS, who had a blazing start to the season that saw them go unbeaten through their first seven games, now find themselves searching for a response following three consecutive defeats. Yet, with 13 points already on the board, PBKS remain firmly in the race, as they are currently sitting fourth in the standings. I would still back Punjab Kings.
