T20 World Cup Trophy: Yastika Bhatia and Radha Yadav have made a return to the Indian team, while uncapped tearaway pacer Nandni Sharma has earned a surprise callup as India unveiled their squad for the 2026 Womens T20 World Cup on Saturday.

Nandni, one of the breakout stars of WPL 2026 and the first Indian bowler to pick up a hat-trick in the competition, is added to boost the bowling line-up, which has an inexperienced look and is weakened by injuries to seam-bowling all-rounders Amanjot Kaur (back) and Kashvee Gautam (right knee requiring operation).

IPL 2026: Ferguson Hails Shreyas' Consistent Attitude, Temperament As Leader The Key Behind PBKS Success

Punjab Kings: Punjab Kings fast bowler Lockie Ferguson on Saturday praised skipper Shreyas Iyer's temperament and leadership so far in IPL 2026, saying the right-handed batter's attitude has rubbed off really well on the entire team and that going through highs and lows of his career have added to him being a calm and assured leader. PBKS currently sit at top of points table with six wins from eight games and a huge factor in them having an outstanding season has been down to Iyers leadership of a side mixed with exuberance of youth and wisdom of experienced players. Starting on Shreyas, I played against him a lot and played A cricket against him when we were both a lot younger. You can see he's developed into a very confident player. I think that sort of continues through his captaincy. He has a lot of trust in his players. He's had lots of ups and downs in his career and understands that things don't always work out perfectly. But it's not easy to be a captain, as I have had the chance of captaining myself in some franchise tournaments. I can imagine the pressure he's under as the leader of the Punjab franchise, but he does it so well. He's so consistent with his attitude and his temperament amongst the group, which I think flows onto how the guys play, Ferguson told IANS in a virtual roundtable chat organised by the franchise on Saturday. He also credited head coach Ricky Ponting for fostering a high-confidence, enjoyable environment within the squad. It also comes from Ricky as well. They work so well together. They build a lot of confidence within the group. We have a lot of fun and then, I think when cricket happens, the boys really try to turn on and perform for their leaders. So, again, nice to be back with the group. PBKS take on GT in Ahmedabad on Sunday evening, on the back of their unbeaten run in the competition coming to a halt through a six-wicket loss to Rajasthan Royals in New Chandigarh. Their bowlers, including Ferguson, who was playing his first game of the season, sent down more than twice as many slower balls as RR but gave away 64 runs off 27 of those deliveries without taking a wicket. A costly lapse in execution handed out a harsh reality check for PBKS, who have already conceded five 200plus totals and stand second only to RR. With an economy rate of 10.5, PBKS also sit among the most expensive attacks this season alongside Mumbai Indians (10.9) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (10.4). PBKS have taken the fewest wickets - just 34 - and have the worst average (43.9) and ballsperwicket ratio (25.2) for any side in the competition. Their pace attack has been leaking runs all season, and only MIs quicks have a higher economy rate than Punjabs 10.9. A costly lapse in execution handed out a harsh reality check for PBKS, who have already conceded five 200plus totals and stand second only to RR. With an economy rate of 10.5, PBKS also sit among the most expensive attacks this season alongside Mumbai Indians (10.9) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (10.4). Also Read: Live Cricket Score We know how within the IPL, how small margins can look a lot bigger on TV. But we're just trying to tighten up on areas, try to double down on our planning. We're very lucky with James Hopes leading the scouting and the information we get spot on. We weren't at our best last game, but look, I'm sure the boys will bounce back tomorrow and look forward to that challenge, added Ferguson. Article Source: IANS

Josh Inglis Links Up With LSG For IPL 2026

Lucknow Super Giants: Lucknow Super Giants have received a timely boost with Australian wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis joining the squad ahead of their crucial IPL 2026 clash against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. The 31-year-old, whose availability had been a topic of discussion since the auction, has now reached India and started training with the team. Inglis had previously told franchises that he would miss part of the season due to personal commitments, such as his wedding in Western Australia on April 18, which caused some uncertainty about his participation. Despite initial doubts, Lucknow signed him for Rs 8.6 crore after his release from Punjab Kings, where he had played for a much lower fee. His delayed arrival raised questions, but now his inclusion is crucial for LSG, who are struggling at the bottom of the standings with only two wins in eight matches. Inglis addition is anticipated to bolster a batting lineup that has struggled with consistency this season, especially among the overseas players. Given the limited contributions from key individuals, the Australians aggressive style of play might provide the boost the team needs. Confirming the news across social media platforms, LSG shared a picture that said Explosives from Down Under. He comes with strong credentials from the last edition, having scored 278 runs in 11 innings with a strike rate over 160. His skill to handle top-quality pace could be crucial, particularly against a Mumbai attack led by Jasprit Bumrah. Inglis has previously performed well against the Indian fast bowler, especially during a key moment last season when he faced Bumrah.

IPL 2026: 'MI Have The Upper Hand, Says Kaif On Clash Vs CSK

Chennai Super Kings: Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif believes the Mumbai Indians (MI) hold a slight edge over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) heading into their crucial Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 encounter at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday, citing their overall squad strength despite inconsistent form. On paper, the Mumbai Indians look stronger than the Chennai Super Kings because they have a lot of match winners and experienced campaigners in their side, Kaif told Jio Hotstar. However, Kaif also pointed out concerns around Mumbais recent performances, noting that their inability to convert games into wins could be a potential drawback. But when you look at recent form, a lot of questions get raised because MI havent been winning many games. That said, on their day, if they play a dominant brand of cricket, they can be very hard to stop, he added. Turning his attention to Chennai, Kaif highlighted that their overdependence on opener Sanju Samson has cost them a lot, and other players must also perform to reduce the overdependence and win the games for the team. Chennai, on the other hand, have only had Sanju Samson firing so far. They are relying heavily on his performances to win games, he observed. CSK return to action after a six-day break.

Chandigarh University Student Sarvesh Gupta Tops IIT JAM 2026 (Physics) Exam with All India Rank 1

Chandigarh University Student Sarvesh Gupta Qualifies 3 National-Level Exams, Tops IIT JAM Physics, Clears TIFR GS & INAT 2026 Aspiring Scientist, CU Student Sarvesh Gupta to Pursue an Integrated Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics at TIFR Mumbai Stick to Fixed Routine with Clear Focus, Determination and Discipline Pay Off, says Chandigarh Universitys Sarvesh Gupta Who Bagged AIR 1 in IIT JAM 2026 Physics In remarkable display of academic brilliance, a Chandigarh University student, Sarvesh Gupta, has made history by securing All India Rank (AIR) 1 in IIT JAM 2026 (Physics), one of Indias most competitive postgraduate entrance examinations in which over 12,000 candidates appeared for admission to Master of Science, Ph D and other post-graduate programs at 22 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and Indian Institute of Science (IISc). Chandigarh University Vice Chancellor & other Officials felicitating Sarvesh Gupta for topping IIT JAM 2026 (Physics) Exam with All India Rank 1 Reflecting exceptional conceptual mastery in Physics, Sarvesh Gupta - a final-year student of B Sc (Hons.) Physics program at Chandigarh University who hails from Nepal also qualified two other prestigious national-level examinations including Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Graduate School (TIFR GS) exam which draws 20,000 to 25,000 applicants and IUCAA National Admission Test (INAT-2026) conducted by Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA), Pune for M Sc (Physics with Astrophysics) programme admissions-2026. I am really pleased to have cleared all these three national level competitive examinations. But since I want to do research in Theoratical Physics and become a scientist, I have opted for Integrated Ph.D. (I-Ph.D.) programme in Theoretical Physics from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai for which 22 students have been selected.As a Chandigarh University student, I had the opportunity to visit TIFR Mumbai for a Ideathon competition through the IEEE Student Chapter at CU where we got the 1st prize. I saw the research labs and infrastructure there during this visit, so its dream come true for me to get an opportunity to study at TIFR. Students receive a monthly fellowship of Rs 25,000 for the first year and the fellowship is enhanced to Rs 37,000 per month (further raised to Rs 42,000 after registration for PhD) at the end of the first year, upon satisfactory performance under TIFR GS, . Joined CUs B Sc (Hons) Physics program in 2023 Son of a government school teacher father and homemaker mother in Nepal, Sarveshs academic journey at Chandigarh University began in 2023 when he took admission in B Sc (Hons) Physics program after completing his Class XII education at Budhanilkantha School in Kathmandu. When I was exploring options for higher education after Class XII, one of my cousin brothers, who had studied mechanical engineering at Chandigarh University, suggested me to take admission at CU for world-class quality education. Then I did some research about the CU and really liked everything being offered here. As CU also provides scholarships to meritorious students to pursue our academic dreams and goals, it was an easy decision for me to take admission at Chandigarh University. I got 50 % scholarship at CU which made my education very affordable for my parents, Sarvesh , a resident of Vishnupura village in Nepals Lumbini who has three siblings (two sisters and a brother),said. CUs Learning Environment & Support to Excel in Academics On his time at Chandigarh University, Sarvesh said, I have always been a physics student with a deep curiosity about how the universe works and more importantly, how the ideas behind it evolved. But my vision cleared after coming to Chandigarh University. Professors in our department are very approachable and we can reach out to them for any assistance whether its a doubt, a discussion, or even if you need personal guidancenot just regarding academics. The research labs and libraries are also excellent at Chandigarh University. This fostered an environment where I could focus on my studies and concentrate on my goals. I knew there was always someone there to assist me with whatever came up, the Chandigarh University provided me great environment and support to excel in academics and pursue my dreams. In fact, its my teachers here who motivated me to prepare for competitive examinations and provided the right guidance and all help for competitive test preparations. My teacher went extra mile for helping in clearing the all three competitive examinations by arranging even mock interview sessions which led to a significant improvement in my performance. So I had interest in physics, but I needed specific guidance for pursuing research. This is the kind of direction one ideally needs to find their path was somewhat lacking, but this is something I found here at Chandigarh University , he added. Preparation Strategy: Stick to Fixed Routine When preparing for competitive examinations, one need to adhere to a strict, fixed routine in order to avoid distractions.I confined my daily routine into manageable time slots for studies. For instance, I would wake up in the morning and head straight to the gym. After an hour-long workout, I would return and attend a few lectures for about an hour while sitting comfortably. Then I will get ready for classes at the University. Once back from University, my priority was to practice questions for about one-and-half-hour or however much time I could spare solely to solving practice problems. After that, I would do whatever I felt like doingwatching videos, hanging out with friends, or just chatting. My roommates and I used to talk the most during our meals. In fact, we would often spend an hour and a half to two hours just eatingchatting away, watching videos, or doing whatever else came to mind. So, while distractions were certainly there, they were successfully managed because I stuck to my schedule. I studied during my designated study hours, and then, during the time allotted for leisure, I simply relaxed and enjoyed myself ,. World-Class Quality Education Across Streams Congratulating Sarvesh Gupta for his exceptional achievement, Senior Managing Director, Chandigarh University, Deepinder Singh Sandhu said, Demonstrating exceptional conceptual mastery in Physics Sarvesh Gupta secured All India Rank 1 in IIT JAM 2026 among thousands of aspirants nationwide.
