IPL 2026: 'RCB Must Back Suyash If They Are To Lift The Trophy Again,' Says Tare

Former Mumbai Indians: Former Mumbai Indians batter Aditya Tare believes Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) should continue backing young leg-spinner Suyash Sharma despite his poor performance in their nine-run defeat to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Tare said RCBs bowling combination still lacks a dependable sixth bowling option and stressed that the franchise should give Suyash greater responsibility instead of relying on part-time bowlers. Suyash has played nine matches so far in IPL 2026 and has taken only seven wickets. He gave away 21 runs in just two overs against LSG. RCB have always struggled to find a reliable sixth bowler. I believe they need to back Suyash Sharma more. He must bowl his full four-over quota. Yes, his line and length have drifted, and his form has dipped. But if RCB want to defend their IPL title, they must trust Suyash, he said on JioStar. Tare also questioned RCBs current bowling strategy and said the side would benefit more from persisting with Suyash rather than turning to all-round options like Romario Shepherd for extra overs. Backing him is a better option than giving Shepherd two overs. Shepherd has not done well with the ball this year. So, Suyash Sharma needs more support if RCB is to lift the trophy for the second time, he added.

'Dev And Rajat Showed Great Character': Mo Bobat After RCB Loss

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru director of cricket Mohammad Bobat praised the fighting spirit shown by his side, lauding the knocks of captain Rajat Patidar and Devdutt Padikkal despite suffering a narrow nine-run defeat against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in a thrilling IPL clash at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Thursday. Chasing a daunting 213 in the rain-curtailed 19-overs-a-side contest, RCB were rocked early after losing both openers cheaply, including Virat Kohli for a two-ball duck. However, Padikkal and skipper Patidar revived the chase with a counterattacking 95-run partnership before the visitors eventually finished at 203/6. Yeah, obviously disappointing to not be able to pick up the two points. I would say that it was encouraging to see some really brave performances from some of the boys today, Bobat said in a video released by RCB on X. Its not often that well be losing both of our openers as early as we did today. Our top order has been fantastic all season, so a bit of a rarity there, but actually the character that Dev and Rajat showed was fantastic, He added. Bobat credited Padikkal and Patidar for absorbing pressure after the early collapse and then shifting momentum back towards RCB. They absorbed pressure for a period of time, and then actually they put some pressure back on them, and towards the back end of their partnership, we were right in that game, so those two deserve a lot of credit for the way they batted, he said. Patidar led the charge with a blistering 61 off 31 balls while Padikkal contributed 34 off 25 deliveries to keep RCB alive in the chase. Later, Tim David smashed 40 off just 17 balls to take the contest deep. Bobat also praised bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Krunal Pandya for their efforts during LSGs innings. I think we did an amazing job to get that close. And also, we must remember that Bhuvi and KP bowled brilliantly, I thought as well, in particular, he said. Looking ahead to RCBs next clash against the Mumbai Indians, Bobat said the team would quickly regroup and focus on improving key areas. I think we did an amazing job to get that close. And also, we must remember that Bhuvi and KP bowled brilliantly, I thought as well, in particular, he said.

From Barriers to Architecture: How Security Design Is Reshaping India's Urban Homes

Indias residential real estate market is currently navigating a structural transformation that is as much about psychology as it is about engineering. As cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, and Mumbai continue to expand, the definition of a "secure home" is being rewritten. Whether in high-density multi-storey apartments or sprawling independent villas, security is no longer an afterthought. It is being integrated at the initial drawing board, a shift that is fundamentally changing how the industry perceives doors, windows, balconies, and facades. This evolution marks the convergence of two previously competing forces: uncompromising safety and Biophilic Design. Security Door The Voices of Change: National Summits and Professional Discourse This is not a quiet shift; it is a loud conversation occurring at the highest levels of the profession. Over the last 24 months, national platforms such as the Indian Housing Summits and the 2025 CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) Conference, as well as various institutional webinars hosted by architectural bodies, have featured leading designers and urban planners advocating for a "New Urban Envelope." At these forums, the consensus has been clear: the "Iron Cage" era of Indian architecture is over. Speakers have highlighted that traditional MS (Mild Steel) grills are no longer just an aesthetic eyesore; they are an architectural failure that severs the connection between the resident and the natural environment. These thought leaders are advocating for a transition toward "Passive Security," which involves solutions that protect the home without compromising the biophilic benefits of light and air. The Economic and Biological Value of "Breathable" Homes Biophilic design, the deliberate integration of natural light, fresh air, and outdoor connectivity, has moved from a luxury "ask " to a mainstream requirement. According to the JLL Residential Dynamics Report (Q4 2025) , apartments and independent homes priced above 1 Crore now command a dominant 63% share of total annual sales in Indias top seven cities. This premium segment is driven by a quest for wellness. Research consistently demonstrates that sustained access to natural light and fresh air can reduce urban stress levels by up to 20%. For residents who spend the majority of their time indoors, these elements are essential to the quality of life. Projects that successfully prioritize "breathability" now command a 1015% price premium, as buyers reject the visual heaviness of traditional bars in favour of seamless indoor-outdoor connectivity. Universal Security: From High-Rises to Independent Villas While the architectural form may vary, the need for advanced security is universal. In high-rise complexes, residents face the challenge of shared corridors and proximity to strangers. Conversely, independent houses and villas deal with "perimeter isolation," where entry points are often hidden from public view. The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) 2024/25 report highlights a 7.2% rise in property-related crimes in metropolitan hubs, with a startling 34% of burglars entering through the front door. This is often due to the physical vulnerability of standard wooden doors or basic locks to "forced entry" techniques like prying. Today's security must be proactive rather than reactive. This has created a critical need for active security barriers, which are engineered systems like high-tensile mesh that protect entry points in both villas and apartments without turning the home into a windowless bunker. Today's security must be proactive rather than reactive. This has created a critical need for active security barriers -engineered systems like high-tensile mesh that protect entry points in both villas and apartments without turning the home into a windowless bunker. Engineering an Absolute Sanctuary: The TENTUFF Innovation TENTUFF provides a new concept in home security. Central to this is the proprietary Poly Tensile mesh , a high-tensile woven stainless-steel wire designed for strength with a "seamless view" appearance. This mesh is combined with an engineered aluminium frame using a one-of-a-kind mechanical fastening system. This construction allows for 24/7 natural ventilation and uninterrupted views while ensuring the mesh cannot be kicked or pulled out of its frame. The Mechanics of 3-Point Security 3-point locking system : Simultaneous Activation: Turning the internal snib activates three super-strong locking tongues at the top, center, and bottom of the door. Crowbar Resistance: This creates a fail-proof, uniform grip across the frame to withstand prying and attack. Integrated Safety: The design includes a crowbarstriker plate, a high-quality lock body, and concealed tamper-proof fixings for absolute security. Solving the "Security-Ventilation Paradox" The rising tension between safety and wellness has birthed a thriving market for high-tensile stainless-steel mesh. Architects are now specifying these systems across various configurations, from bi-fold and French security doors to patio and window systems. Unlike traditional bars, this mesh preserves uninterrupted views of the sky and greenery while being anchored in corrosion-resistant aluminium frames. The "biophilic dividend" of these systems extends into public health. In a tropical country where vector-borne diseases like dengue and malaria are persistent challenges, security mesh allows residents to keep windows and doors safely ajar. This enables genuine cross-ventilation and the "Passive Cooling" required by IGBC 2026 Green Building standards, which can lower indoor temperatures by 3C to 5C naturally, significantly reducing the energy loads of air conditioning. The Shift toward Standardized Performance (AS 5039) To distinguish genuine protection from simple insect screening, architects at national seminars have emphasized the need for standardized mechanical proof. The industry is moving away from subjective "sturdiness " toward the Australian Standard (AS 5039), the global benchmark for security screens. Under this rigorous standard, a security screen must be tested as a single, integrated system comprising the mesh, frame, and locks to demonstrate measurable resistance against three specific intrusion methods: the Knife Shear Test, where the mesh must withstand a heavy-duty blade drawn across its surface three times to prevent "stealth slicing"; the Dynamic Impact Test, which requires the system to remain intact after five consecutive strikes from a 40kg lead-filled bag to ensure the mesh does not "pop" out under the force of a human kick; and the Jemmy Test, where the frame and multi-point locks must resist standardized prying forces from tools like crowbars to ensure the perimeter cannot be bypassed at its edges. A Collaborative Future for Indian Housing This evolution requires a new level of collaboration between security hardware manufacturers, architects, and developers at the planning stage. As project specifications move from "optional upgrades" to "inevitable considerations," consumer education remains key. Whether securing a luxury penthouse or a private villa, homebuyers must learn to evaluate security not on price alone, but on its contribution to certified performance, health outcomes, and long-term asset value. As Indian cities grow, the homes being built today will define the liveability standards for the next generation. With regulatory bodies like the Bureau of Indian Standards tightening safety norms and green certifications like IGBC rewarding passive design, the industry is proving that security and biophilic living are no longer competing priorities. We are entering an era where our homes can finally be as open as they are secure.
