I'd Never Say No To The Team,' Says KKR's Raghuvanshi On His Transformation To Wicketkeeper
When Angkrish Raghuvanshi: When Angkrish Raghuvanshi whipped off the bails in a flash to stump Pathum Nissanka off the bowling of Anukul Roy, Delhi Capitals' last realistic hope of resisting Kolkata Knight Riders evaporated at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on the night of May 8. It was a stumping only a wicketkeeper with years of experience could execute. The small irony, here, is that, until September last year, Angkrish was not one. Behind Angkrishs transformation as a keeper for KKR in IPL 2026 was a project planned by Abhishek Nayar, his long-time mentor and the sides head coach and executed by fielding coach Dishant Yagnik. What motivated me was my team asked me if I could do a job for them and I'd never say no to that. But it was very tough at the start because I've never done it before and I didn't believe that I could do it. But our fielding coach, Dishant Yagnik, made me work tirelessly throughout the day and night. He made me do drills and was confident that I'll be able to do it. If he's confident like that, then it just helps me in also believing that I can do it and I really want to thank him for that, Angkrish told IANS in an exclusive conversation ahead of KKRs clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, to be played in Raipur on Wednesday. The pre-season fitness data was encouraging: Angkrish's flexibility and agility caught notice, and he topped Nayar's circuit test, designed to simulate high-intensity movement under fatigue. The bones of a keeper, it seemed, were already there. With the backing from KKR support staff, Angkrish has managed to do a decent job with the gloves, apart from being KKRs leading run-getter in this season with 269 runs in ten games. I think it's very important to have some people who are calm in the dressing room because most people are having that adrenaline of the game and it's not easy to think objectively and with a calm head at that time, a lot of emotions happen. So when you have people like that who can do the thinking for you, then it becomes very easy and they communicate a lot with us and if we can listen to them, I think it's a blessing for us to have them, he added. The dressing room's approach in the tournament, as per Angkrish, has removed the weight of pressure rather than adding more of it. Actually, I think I'm blessed to have this team and this support staff around me. They say that 'Don't think about being responsible too much, just think about enjoying the game and trying to do what you feel is right for the team.' When someone says that, obviously from inside you want to do well for the team, but when someone says that, it takes the pressure off and just helps me do my work. So it's a great environment to have, he added. The coaches he credits most deeply for making his life smooth in KKR are Nayar and Yagnik. For Abhishek sir, I've always said that not just my batting, but every growing phase and learning in my life on the field and off the field comes from him. He's, I think, the most important person in my life. Dishant sir has been great in terms of just making me do drills every day and not letting me have a day off. I think it's helping me on the field. Just the few lessons that I've learned from both of them are just how important it is to always work hard because I'm given this opportunity and not many people are. So I have to be grateful for it and I have to do something about it. The physical toll is real, and he does not underplay it. I think wicket keeping and batting are already hectic enough as it is, so I can have my cheat meals whenever I want. But also the physio Dr. Prashant (Panchada) and Dr. Abhishek (Sawant) and the trainers CD (Chris Donaldson) and Sagar (VM) sir - they're great with just telling me exactly what I need because it's a very hectic schedule. So you can't over train and under train - it has to be the perfect amount and I leave it all up to them and then they tell me what to do and I trust them completely, he added. KKR extending their winning streak to four games after a difficult six-game stretch came in New Delhi, the place where Angkrish spent his formative years before moving to Mumbai to be under Nayar. Having experienced the best of both cities, Angkrish has settled well into the Mumbaikar identity. I think that was one of the most important moves of my career when I moved to Mumbai because when I played there, I saw how many people are working hard to play there and it just motivated me every day to obviously work harder than them, but also to be grateful for the life that I have and I think that's why I say that I'm a Bombaywallah because of the culture of cricket there and everything I've seen while growing up. So now I embrace that title fully. As for what lies ahead, especially with KKR still in the reckoning for a miraculous entry into the playoffs, the ambition is kept deliberately small by Angkrish. I'm not someone who likes to keep goals. I just think that next match, we just have to win the next match and I think it's working also (right now). I think that was one of the most important moves of my career when I moved to Mumbai because when I played there, I saw how many people are working hard to play there and it just motivated me every day to obviously work harder than them, but also to be grateful for the life that I have and I think that's why I say that I'm a Bombaywallah because of the culture of cricket there and everything I've seen while growing up. So now I embrace that title fully. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The stumping of Nissanka was the moment that caught everyones eye about Angkrishs keeping. But it was Yagnik's drills and Nayar's quiet conviction, along with Angkrish never saying no to any role that made it turn into reality. For someone referred to as KKR's starboy, donning keeper's gloves were never about adding a skill it was about answering a call KKR needed and hes simply doing that. Article Source: IANS
'You Have Got To Bowl Him In Middle Overs': Mukund On Chahal's Snub
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Former India batter Abhinav Mukund believes Punjab Kings (PBKS) missed a tactical opportunity by not introducing Yuzvendra Chahal during the middle overs in their defeat to Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026. Punjab Kings failed to defend 210 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium on Monday as Delhi Capitals scripted the highest successful IPL chase in Dharamsala history, winning by three wickets with six balls remaining. One of the biggest talking points from the contest was Punjabs decision not to bowl a single over of spin, despite having experienced leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal in the side. Speaking on ESPNcricinfos Time Out Show, Mukund said Chahal ideally should have been used during the middle phase when Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs were rebuilding the innings. Youve got to bowl him in overs 7 to 15, and in conditions like this, when youve got Miller and Axar going, its very difficult for a captain to hand him the ball. If he had to do that, he had to do it in the seventh over when Axar and Stubbs were there, Mukund said. Mukund added that even if Chahal had been expensive initially, Punjab were in a strong enough position on the scoreboard to take that risk in search of wickets. But then again, I wouldve personally got out at least an over of Chahal to just see what was happening, he said. To just see because when you had the scoreboard pressure, and you had the luxury of giving away even 18 or 20 runs, if need be, at that point, but try and take the gamble to pick up a wicket. Mukund felt the ideal window to test spin was between overs seven and ten before Delhis experienced finishers took complete control of the chase. To just see because when you had the scoreboard pressure, and you had the luxury of giving away even 18 or 20 runs, if need be, at that point, but try and take the gamble to pick up a wicket.

Gurugram Sustains Real Estate Growth Amid Rapid Urban Expansion
Few cities in India have transformed as rapidly as Gurugram. Over the last two decades, the city has evolved from a peripheral satellite town into one of the countrys most influential corporate and residential hubs, attracting multinational companies, institutional capital and a constantly expanding urban population. Can Gurugram Sustain Its Real Estate Growth Amid Rapid Urban Expansion? But Gurugram now finds itself at an important inflection point. The very factors that fuelled its rise rapid development, high absorption and continuous infrastructure-led expansion are also placing increasing pressure on the citys urban systems. Traffic congestion, density stress and infrastructure gaps are no longer isolated concerns. They are becoming central to conversations around the citys long-term sustainability. The question, therefore, is no longer whether Gurugram can continue growing. It is whether that growth can remain balanced and liveable. Demand fundamentals remain strong Despite concerns around congestion and urban pressure, Gurugram continues to remain one of Indias strongest real estate markets. According to recent market reports, Delhi-NCR recorded nearly 1516 million sq ft of office leasing in 2025, with Gurugram accounting for a dominant share driven by global capability centres, technology firms and financial institutions. Residential demand has remained equally resilient, particularly in premium and upper mid-income segments. This demand is supported by structural advantages that continue to differentiate the city: Proximity to Delhi and IGI Airport Strong corporate ecosystem Expanding infrastructure corridors Higher-income demographic base Institutional investor confidence Unlike speculative markets, Gurugrams growth continues to be anchored in employment generation, which gives the market greater long-term depth. The city is expanding beyond its traditional core One of the clearest signs of Gurugrams evolution is its outward expansion. Earlier growth was concentrated around Golf Course Road, Cyber City and MG Road. Today, development momentum has shifted toward newer corridors such as Dwarka Expressway, New Gurugram, Southern Peripheral Road and emerging sectors along the citys periphery. This outward movement is not accidental. It reflects the citys attempt to redistribute density and create newer urban clusters beyond already saturated zones. Projects in emerging sectors are increasingly attracting buyers looking for a balance between connectivity, liveability and long-term value. Locations with lower density, improved road networks and integrated planning are seeing stronger traction among end-users. In this context, projects such as MRG Crown in Sector 106, Gurugram, along the Dwarka Expressway, reflect the shift toward more integrated and future-ready residential ecosystems that balance accessibility with liveability. Infrastructure pressure is becoming more visible At the same time, Gurugrams infrastructure challenges are becoming harder to ignore. Key corridors such as NH-48, Golf Course Extension Road and Sohna Road continue to witness heavy congestion during peak hours. Waterlogging, pressure on civic utilities and uneven road infrastructure remain recurring issues in several parts of the city. The core challenge is not simply the pace of development. It is the mismatch between real estate density and infrastructure readiness. For years, growth in Gurugram often moved faster than urban planning. As the city matures, that model becomes increasingly difficult to sustain. The next phase must focus on integrated growth The sustainability of Gurugrams next real estate cycle will depend less on expansion alone and more on the quality of planning behind it. Three shifts will become particularly important. Infrastructure-first planning Future growth corridors must evolve alongside transport, drainage, utilities and social infrastructure rather than after them. Infrastructure can no longer remain reactive. Mixed-use development One of Gurugrams biggest urban challenges has been the separation of residential and commercial zones, which intensifies commuting pressure. Integrated developments that combine housing, retail and social infrastructure can reduce travel dependency and improve urban efficiency. Better liveability standards Buyer expectations are changing rapidly. Open spaces, lower density, community infrastructure and lifestyle amenities are becoming increasingly important in residential decision-making. This shift is gradually moving the market away from purely investment-led demand toward more end-user-driven absorption. A maturing city, not a slowing one There is often a tendency to interpret infrastructure stress as a sign of market saturation. In reality, Gurugrams current phase reflects the evolution of a maturing urban economy. Every major global business city eventually confronts questions around mobility, density and sustainability. The challenge is not to stop growth, but to manage it intelligently. For Gurugram, this means moving from aggressive expansion to more disciplined urbanisation. Looking ahead Gurugrams economic fundamentals remain extremely strong. Corporate demand continues to expand, infrastructure investment is ongoing and residential absorption remains healthy. But sustaining this momentum will require a more balanced approach to growth. The next decade cannot replicate the last. The focus must shift from rapid construction to integrated urban development, where infrastructure, mobility and liveability evolve together. Gurugrams growth story is far from complete. The real opportunity now lies in shaping a city that is not only larger, but significantly more sustainable than the one that emerged over the past twenty years.

'We Didnt Execute The Skills Needed In Last 5 Overs', Admits PBKS Spin Bowling Coach Bahutule
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Punjab Kings spin-bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule admitted his side failed to execute properly in the final overs and paid the price for dropped catches as Delhi Capitals pulled off a record chase to stay alive in the IPL 2026 playoff race. Capitals chased down 211 with three wickets in hand against PBKS at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium on Monday. Despite reducing DC to 14/2 and later 38/3, PBKS were unable to close out the match as captain Axar Patel smashed 56, David Miller struck 51, and debutant Madhav Tiwari played a decisive cameo of 18 off eight balls to guide the visitors to 216/7. Reflecting on the defeat, Bahutule admitted that his side had the game under control before losing momentum in the death overs, Ive said this before, also, there are going to be lots of ups and downs. There are going to be times where youve almost won the game, and you lose, we almost had the game with us, but we didnt execute the skills needed in the last five overs. So all we need to do is just keep this aside and move ahead and play the next three games to the best of our ability, Bahutule said at the post-match press conference. PBKS' fielding lapses also proved costly during DC's recovery. Arshdeep Singh dropped Tristan Stubbs at long-on, while another chance offered by Axar Patel went down at deep square leg. Bahutule admitted those missed opportunities hurt the team badly. If we had caught two catches, I dont think they would have maybe reached the target, but it would have been very difficult for them and maybe won the game by 20 runs, he said. The contest also marked the first time in IPL history that neither team used a spinner during an innings, with both captains relying entirely on pace on a seaming Dharamsala surface. Explaining the reason behind the move, Bahutule said that the surface consistently favoured fast bowling throughout the innings, and it was wise to use the pacers. The contest also marked the first time in IPL history that neither team used a spinner during an innings, with both captains relying entirely on pace on a seaming Dharamsala surface.

Madhav Tiwari: After making an impact with both ball and bat in the Delhi Capitals' crucial win over Punjab Kings, uncapped allrounder Madhav Tiwari called himself 100 per cent batter and a bowler. Firstly, Madhav first picked up the two crucial wickets, claiming the figures of 2-40. Priyansh Arya became his maiden IPL wicket when he found the deep point fielder. He then removed Cooper Connolly with a slower bouncer. First of all, I would like to thank the management for giving me this opportunity, and I'm lucky enough that I was able to be on the winning side. So the mindset is always that if things are not in your hand, you just try to be better in each and every practice session. I worked a lot of time with Munaf (Patel, DC bowling coach, sir). I worked on my bowling a lot, and I worked on my range-hitting and stuff like that with our batting coach, and it was fun, and I was happy if I was able to contribute to the team. I would like to say Im 100% bowler, 100% batsman,' Tiwari said after the win. The all-rounder arrived with a bat at a crunch phase of DC's chase and finished unbeaten on 18 off 8, including two fours and a six, which helped DC achieve the highest successful T20 chase (by any team) in Dharamshala. I worked on my bowling a lot, and I worked on my range-hitting and stuff like that with our batting coach, and it was fun, and I was happy if I was able to contribute to the team.

Cabinet revolt against Starmer after Labours crushing local election defeat
New Delhi, May 12: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing a serious rebellion within the ruling Labour Party after the partys poor performance in recently concluded local elections triggered widespread anger among MPs and senior ministers. More than 80 Labour parliamentarians, along with several senior cabinet members including Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy have reportedly urged Starmer to consider stepping down or announce a timetable for his departure. Senior government figures, including Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, are also said to have joined the growing internal revolt. The rebellion intensified after Labour suffered heavy losses in local councils across England and Wales, with several traditional strongholds falling to rival parties. The disappointing results have raised serious questions within the party about Starmers leadership and Labours future electoral prospects. The growing dissent has exposed deep divisions inside Labour, with critics accusing Starmer of failing to connect with voters and lacking a clear political vision. Despite mounting pressure, the Prime Minister has so far refused to resign, insisting that he will continue to lead the government and rebuild public confidence. The unrest has also sparked speculation about a possible leadership challenge in the coming weeks. Adding to the turmoil, four ministers and aides resigned from government positions. Among them were Chris Curtis, MPs Josh Simons and Jas Athwal, along with ministerial aides Sally Jamieson, Melanie Ward, Mr Rutland and Mr Morris. Starmer had hoped to calm the growing rebellion by acknowledging voter anger following Labours election setbacks across England, Scotland and Wales. That hurts and it should hurt, Starmer said. I get it. I feel it. And I take responsibility. However, his remarks have done little to silence critics within the party, as pressure continues to mount on his leadership.
