BEST GLOBAL UMPIRES FROM AROUND: Former Commissioner and founder Lalit Modi has advised the Indian Premier League (IPL) Governing Council to appoint world-class match officials so as to have consistent decisions during matches. Modi's advice to the IPL came following the latest incident of controversial decision-making when Kolkata Knight Riders batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi was given out 'obstructing the field' in the match against Lucknow Super Giants recently. Raghuvanshi slipped and fell while trying to make ground when sent back by his partner, and the throw hit his body, unintentionally. The LSG players appealed, and the third umpire gave him out for obstructing the field. The decision has generated huge controversy as many people felt that there was no intention on the part of Raghuvanshi to obstruct the ball and had changed the direction in attempting to get into the crease. Modi told the IPL governing council that it can not afford sub-standard officiation as IPL is the most valuable cricket league in the world, and such controversies impact its value. The IPL is the most valuable cricket league in the world it cannot afford sub-standard officiating. When decisions are rushed and inconsistent, it damages the credibility of the competition. The BCCI must take responsibility and restore the level of professionalism that once made the league the global benchmark, Lalit Modi said on Tuesday. In a post on social media, Modi also wrote how he had made it a point to get the best umpires to officiate in the IPL and expressed disappointment that the BCCI has now abandoned that rule to allegedly save money. In my time, I made it a point only to have the BEST GLOBAL UMPIRES FROM AROUND THE WORLD through the @ICC. Its a shame that the BCCI has abandoned that rule now. Three things that were engraved into my running the @ipl were 1. ICC umpires. 2. ICC Anti-Corruption Team. 3. Management of the tournament by @IMG, Modi wrote in his post on X, formerly Twitter. All three things have been abandoned for a cheaper solution. For Heavens sake, we OWN THE WORLD'S MOST PROFITABLE SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT LEAGUE - stop this nickel and dimming and get back on track. Do whats good for the GAME and IMPROVE FAN EXPERIENCE. If I dont call this out. No one else will. The fans and players and owners dont deserve this, he said in his post.

For two extraordinary days in New Delhi, dance became more than movement it became confidence, courage, and hope. Under the banner of Dance for Dignity, powered by M3M Foundation in collaboration with RDX Dance Championship Season 4, the stage at OP Jindal Auditorium transformed into a platform where stories of perseverance found their voice and talent found its rightful recognition. What unfolded over these two days was not merely a dance championship it was a celebration of human spirit. M3M Foundation's Dance for Dignity Grand Finale Winners with Kamlesh Patel and Aishwarya Mahajan, President and Trustee, M3M Foundation Participants traveled from across the country from the cultural lanes of Kolkata, the temple town of Mathura, the energetic streets of Chandigarh, and many other regions bringing with them years of silent practice, unspoken dreams, and unwavering belief. For many, this was their first time performing on a national stage; for others, it was a moment they had waited for their entire lives. One of the most unforgettable moments came when Jyoti Gupta, a 58-year-old participant in the Super Mom category, stepped onto the stage with determination in her eyes. Her performance was not just about rhythm it was about reclaiming confidence, proving that age is never a limitation to passion. When she was announced as the winner of the Super Mom category, the applause carried a deeper meaning it celebrated courage, persistence, and dignity. Another powerful story emerged from a group of dancers from Chandigarh, who once practiced on open streets and local grounds with limited resources. Standing under national lights, performing before an audience that recognized their effort, their journey symbolized the true purpose of Dance for Dignity creating opportunities where none existed before. Across two vibrant days, over 100 participants performed in categories including Solo Junior, Classical, Solo Senior, Duet, Group, and Super Mom, presenting a breathtaking range of dance forms from graceful classical expressions to high-energy freestyle and synchronized group acts. Young children discovering their confidence shared the stage with adults rediscovering their dreams, proving that dance connects generations and strengthens belief. At the heart of this celebration stood Kamlesh Patel, whose journey embodies the spirit of resilience that defines Dance for Dignity. Known for his association with iconic platforms such as Dance India Dance and Boogie Woogie, and honored with prestigious recognitions including the Presidents Award, his presence reminded participants that determination can transform limitations into strength and dreams into reality. Guiding the competition was an accomplished panel of judges including Kamlesh Patel, Arjun Chouhan, Deepika Soni, Kaushal Pradhan, Vaibhav Ghuge, and Piyush Chauhan, whose mentorship encouraged performers to push boundaries and believe in their creative potential. Adding to the spirit of celebration were spectacular showcase performances that energized the audience. A breathtaking gymnastics performance by Lakshay Scholars, known for their appearance on Americas Got Talent, showcased discipline and precision, while an electrifying performance by internationally acclaimed Zumba instructor Ms. Ana filled the auditorium with energy and enthusiasm. The championship also celebrated excellence across categories, with inspiring winners emerging as symbols of perseverance and dedication. Among them were Poppim Smiley in the Solo Junior category, Manvi Sharma in the Classical category, Gautam Pathak in the Solo Senior category, White Collar Crew in the Group category, and Jyoti Gupta, whose victory in the Super Mom category stood as a moment of inspiration for audiences and participants alike. Beyond the stage, Dance for Dignity reflected the deeper social vision of M3M Foundation to empower individuals, nurture confidence, and provide platforms that transform hidden talent into recognized potential. By creating opportunities for performers from diverse backgrounds, the Foundation continues to champion inclusion and ensure that talent is celebrated with dignity, regardless of age, geography, or circumstance. Reflecting on the success of the initiative, Dr. Payal Kanodia, Chairperson and Trustee, M3M Foundation , said," Dance for Dignity is about believing in people and giving them the confidence to step forward. Every performance we witnessed carried a journey of courage and determination. At M3M Foundation, our commitment goes beyond the stage we continue to support these talented individuals and create opportunities that help them grow with dignity and self-belief. " As the final applause echoed through the auditorium, one truth stood clear Dance for Dignity is not just an event; it is a movement of hope, confidence, and transformation. Because sometimes, a single stage does more than showcase talent it restores belief, builds confidence, and gives dreams the dignity they deserve.

IPL 2026: Southee Lauds Rinkus cricket Smarts, Dubs Narine unbelievable After KKRs Thriller Win
Kolkata Knight Riders: Tim Southee lauded Rinku Singhs composure and Sunil Narines match-winning Super Over effort after Kolkata Knight Riders pulled off a dramatic win over Lucknow Super Giants in their recently concluded IPL 2026 clash at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. KKR had to claw their way back into the contest after slipping into early trouble, before Rinkus unbeaten 83, capped by four sixes in the final over, lifted them to 155, a total that eventually proved just enough to force a tie. Reflecting on the teams performance, Southee credited the collective resilience shown by the side, particularly after a shaky start with the bat and emphasised that it was not just the runs, but the timing and awareness of Rinkus knock that made the difference in a high-pressure situation. We took the long way around, but we got there in the end, so well done, two points. I'll just touch on the batting innings and I think obviously we had a little cameo from Greeny (Cameron Green), but I think a special mention to Rinku (Singh). You used your experience, you've obviously been a part of the Indian side for a while, but the cricket you've played in tonight was a great example of the experience you showed and the cricket smarts that you have, to take that game deep like you did in the last two overs, I think we were 17 and 26 and proved to be the difference, Southee told players in the dressing room in a video shared by the franchise. KKR had looked set for a below-par score before that late assault, underlining the significance of Rinkus finishing burst in shifting momentum. Southee also highlighted the teams unity after a difficult start to the tournament, noting that the group stayed together despite setbacks. We've seen in the last two games how connected this group is! The willingness to train hard, stick together and add in what happened in that batting innings early on. It could have easily gone horribly wrong, but I think it showed the connection amongst this group to stick together and a bit of brilliance from Rinku with a hand from Greeny along the way, he added. Defending 155, KKR needed early breakthroughs, and Southee singled out Vaibhav Arora for setting the tone with the ball in the powerplay. Flow on to the bowling, I think the way Vaibhav (Arora), you started. It was bloody impressive, mate. You bowled with accuracy, you bowled with pace, you bowled with skill and defending a low total like we were at the start was always going to be crucial, he stated. LSG appeared in control at various stages of the chase, but KKRs bowlers kept chipping away, eventually pushing the game into a Super Over after a last-ball six tied the scores. In the one-over eliminator, Narine delivered a standout performance, conceding just one run while picking up key wickets, an effort Southee described as exceptional under pressure. I think you set the tone beautifully and backed up by all the bowlers throughout and also a special mention to Sunny (Sunil Narine), I know you've had a great time. It was pretty good and then super over. Unbelievable mate. To go out there in that situation, Southee said. In the one-over eliminator, Narine delivered a standout performance, conceding just one run while picking up key wickets, an effort Southee described as exceptional under pressure.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: All-rounder Krunal Pandya reflected on his evolution as a cricketer and a person, highlighting how experience and success have shaped his outlook, while also revisiting key moments from his journey with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL. Speaking about his growth over the years, Krunal emphasised how his perspective has matured while his core values have remained intact. I have changed over a period of time, for the better. As you go through the journey, you learn. A lot of credit goes to my parents and the upbringing they gave me. But as a human being, who I am, has remained the same. I love cricket, still as excited and passionate to play. I have always been a family man. I love my family, kids, and my wife, who has played an integral part. My parents have been my pillars. When you taste success, two things can happen, either you go crazy or it makes you humble. I have taken the second route. The more I have grown, the humbler I have become, which is why family is important for me, and cricket is in my blood, mind, everywhere, he told JioStar. The all-rounder also looked back at his memorable debut for RCB against Kolkata Knight Riders, recalling the highs and early struggles before turning the game around with crucial breakthroughs. I was very excited to play my first match. The opening ceremony had just happened. I remember Shah Rukh sir was on stage and the crowd was chanting. I thought, Wow, if we win this match here, it will be fun. I bowled my first over in the Powerplay and gave away 15 runs. I was like, What is happening? KKR were 110 in 10 overs, they were scoring quickly, and I told myself that I had to make a comeback. In my next over, it was the 11th, I got Ajinkya Rahane out at deep square leg. Then Venkatesh Iyer was batting without a helmet, so I thought I would bowl a bouncer, and he got the helmet back quickly. After that, I bowled a quick second ball and he got bowled. That is something fast bowlers do, he said. Krunal further revisited a high-pressure clash at the Wankhede Stadium against his former side Mumbai Indians, where his all-round contribution proved decisive in sealing a memorable win for RCB. Wankhede has always been a special place to play. The atmosphere there is electric. We scored around 220, and at one point, it looked like we were winning, but then Hardik came in and scored a quick 15-ball 40-odd, which shifted the momentum. From the way the game was going, I knew I would have to bowl the last over, and I backed myself to defend. It was a special game because earlier I had got Will Jacks out on a bouncer, which was something I had planned before the IPL. The wicket was so flat that I did not know where to bowl. So, in my second over, after trying a couple of wide yorkers, I went for the bouncer, and it worked. That felt really satisfying. There was a lot of pressure in the last over. Santner was batting, and with a short leg-side boundary, it was challenging. I set an unusual field, kept a deep point, and went for the wide yorker to use the long boundary, and it worked in my favour. Then, to Deepak Chahar, I bowled a bouncer and Phil Salt took a good catch. I gave away just a few runs in that over, and we ended up winning the game, which was very special, he stated. On the emotional high of lifting the IPL trophy with RCB, Krunal reserved special praise for Virat Kohli and the franchises passionate fan base. The ones who deserved it the most are Virat Kohli and the RCB fans. Virat has been an integral part of RCB from the first season. So, to win it, and see him get emotional was special. Watching him cry was an emotional moment for everyone, whether you are a fan or part of the team. I remember when we played against Chennai and were going out in the bus, the love people have for RCB is incredible, and that day I said on the mic that whatever happens, we must win the trophy for the fans. I am glad I said it and that we were able to deliver in the final. The fans deserved this trophy more than anybody else, and obviously, Virat as well. I am grateful to be part of something like this and to contribute in a small way. Playing for the country is number one for me, but winning for RCB, that too after 18 years, and having my best season while contributing well, has to be one of my top moments, he expressed. He also spoke about his match-winning, unbeaten 73 against Delhi Capitals in their IPL 2025 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, explaining how understanding the pitch and pacing his innings played a key role in guiding RCB out of trouble. I am glad I said it and that we were able to deliver in the final. The fans deserved this trophy more than anybody else, and obviously, Virat as well. I am grateful to be part of something like this and to contribute in a small way. Playing for the country is number one for me, but winning for RCB, that too after 18 years, and having my best season while contributing well, has to be one of my top moments, he expressed. Also Read: Live Cricket Score It was around our seventh or eighth game, and I had hardly batted in the tournament. We were under pressure at that point. Virat was telling me, Just keep holding your shape, we will do it. In my first 17-18 balls, I did not score much, but I knew we had power hitters like Tim David, Romario, and Jitesh behind me, so if we took the game deep, we would be in it. Once I got set, I started playing my shots and everything fell into place, he reminisced. Article Source: IANS

LSG Made A Huge Mistake Of Sending Nicholas Pooran In The Super Over: Dasgupta
Lucknow Super Giants: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Deep Dasgupta has raised questions over Lucknow Super Giants tactical calls in their Super Over defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders, stating that sending out-of-form Nicholas Pooran to bat in the Super Over ahead of Mitchell Marsh was a huge mistake. Analysing LSGs narrow loss in Lucknow, Dasgupta pointed to both execution and decision-making lapses, particularly in the Super Over, where the team faltered under pressure despite having a strong batting line-up. LSG had two back-to-back games, one against RR and one against KKR, where they should have won. I understand that against Kolkata, it wasnt an easy pitch to bat on, but you would expect them to chase 155 comfortably. Not being able to chase with that kind of batting order is not good for the morale of their dressing room, Dasgupta told JioStar. You know quite well that your batters are unable to score runs and on top of that, you made a huge mistake of sending someone like Nicholas Pooran to bat in the Super Over ahead of Mitchell Marsh, who has been their top run-getter this season. Mitchell Marsh, Himmat Singh and Aiden Markram should have been the ideal three batters to play in the Super Over. Instead, they sent an under-confident Pooran. In T20 cricket, losing close games like these back-to-back can break a teams season. LSG need to fix their batting order and decision-making quickly, or the Playoffs will slip away, he added. LSG, who failed to chase a modest target and then managed just one run in the Super Over, have now slipped under pressure in the points table, with concerns mounting over their batting order and on-field calls in crunch situations. Turning his attention to the upcoming fixture between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals, Dasgupta said that the defending champions appear better placed than the hosts, especially in terms of momentum and overall balance, despite a few minor concerns. LSG, who failed to chase a modest target and then managed just one run in the Super Over, have now slipped under pressure in the points table, with concerns mounting over their batting order and on-field calls in crunch situations.

IPL 2026: Rinku's Counterattack And Narines Composure Were Key To KKRs Win, Opines Irfan Pathan
Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan credited Rinku Singhs late counterattack and Sunil Narines composure under pressure as the defining factors behind Kolkata Knight Riders dramatic Super Over win against Lucknow Super Giants in their recently concluded IPL 2026 clash at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. Reflecting on the nature of the contest, Pathan highlighted how the conditions in Lucknow played a significant role in keeping scores in check and bringing bowlers into the game. The quality of bowling was outstanding, and the pitch definitely had something in it, a bit of bounce and movement, which made batting challenging. Weve seen that in Lucknow this season, posting big scores havent been easy. But the turning point was Rinku Singhs counterattack against Digvesh Rathi. That one over where he scored 26 runs completely shifted the momentum. Even though KKR lost a few key moments, that phase changed the game, and from there, they found a way to stay in the contest and eventually come out on top, Pathan told JioStar. KKR, who were struggling big time earlier in the innings, found a lifeline through Rinkus explosive hitting as his 83-run knock propelled them to a competitive total of 155 and ultimately forced the match into a tie. Pathan also reserved special praise for Narines execution in the Super Over, where the veteran spinner dismantled LSGs hopes with a clinical spell. What stood out was the quality of the delivery that he bowled to dismiss Nicholas Pooran and the calmness with which Sunil Narine executed it. To do this consistently over the years, especially in pressure situations like a Super Over, is remarkable. He has faced challenges in his career, but hes always found a way to come back stronger. You dont often see teams turning to a spinner in moments like these, but Narine is an exception. His composure, even when others are appealing or under pressure, allows him to focus on the finer details, and once again, he delivered when it mattered most. Narines Super Over, where he conceded just a solitary run while picking up crucial wickets, left KKR needing only a couple of runs to seal victory, a task they completed off the very first ball as Rinku sent it away for a boundary. Further analysing Rinkus innings, Pathan underlined the batters game awareness and ability to take responsibility in crunch situations.
