Muslim population in India may match that of Indonesia after Census: Kiren Rijiju
Mumbai, May 09: Union minister Kiren Rijiju on Saturday said that the Muslim population in India is likely to be nearly the same as that of Indonesia after the Census. The Muslim population in the country is likely to be nearly on par with Indonesia's population. Once the Census (data) is out, it will be the likely outcome, the Union minister for Minority Affairs told reporters after a programme here. As the last Census was conducted in 2011 and the decennial exercise could not be conducted in 2021, the population would have grown, he said. Whatever the numbers of whichever (community) are, all are Indians, Rijiju added. Highlighting concerns over the declining population of the Parsi community, he stated that their numbers stand at around 52,000 to 55,000 in the country. The Parsis are the smallest minority community in India and the government is working to protect them and ensure their numbers do not shrink further, he added. Rijiju also dismissed claims that minorities are under threat in the country, alleging that some political organisations are trying to create fear among the Muslims and Christians. All citizens are equal before the Constitution and no one is treated differently on the basis of religion or caste, the BJP leader said. The Bharatiya Janata Party forming a government in West Bengal was also a victory for the country as it is a very sensitive state sharing border with Bangladesh from where a lot of illegal migrants enter, the minister said. The BJP winning the election in the state was a crucial development for national security, he added. The party has long been raising concerns about illegal migration and the new state government would help address the issue effectively, Rijiju said. The earlier Mamata Banerjee-led government did not implement certain central schemes, he claimed, citing the National e-Vidhan Application as an example, and added that the Union government would ensure their implementation now.

IPL returns to Raipur after a decade as RCB host MI
A defeat on Sunday will eliminate Mumbai Indians
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter Jacob Bethell spoke about the teams mindset, his own form, and the confidence within the dressing room ahead of RCBs key clash against Mumbai Indians in Raipur on Sunday. Reflecting on the experience of batting alongside Virat Kohli, Bethell said: It is cool. I have said it multiple times, how cool it is to bat with him and be involved in the dressing room with him. I dont think it adds any more pressure. It is just nice to have someone of that calibre in your team. You can count on him and a lot of the time people are only watching him, so a lot of the pressure is off. It is not something that burdens you, it is something that allows you to play freely, I guess. On RCBs transition from Bengaluru to Raipur, Bethell added: This is our home away from home now. We had a great welcome yesterday at the hotel and the transition to Raipur has been seamless. Training today is going to be very important because we have to adapt quickly. Mumbai has had a couple of days here but I dont really think that makes a huge difference. We are a confident team and I think we are going to adapt pretty well. Speaking about RCBs approach after back-to-back losses, he said: There is no shying away from the fact that we have lost two games in a row. We have reflected on them and there are areas where we were not at our best. But the only thing that matters now is being present for that first ball in the next game. If we are able to do that and adapt quickly, our best is very good and we have got more than enough in the dressing room to walk away with four points here. Bethell also opened up on his personal form, I have not got off to the start that I would have wanted in this tournament, but the only game that matters is the one tomorrow. I never really feel like I am fighting for a spot. It is more from a hunger to contribute to this team. It does not feel good when you are not contributing to wins and there is definitely a burning desire to go out there and put in a match-winning performance tomorrow. On the decision between the IPL and domestic cricket commitments, he opined: Everyone is allowed to have their opinions and that is absolutely fine. But from a personal point of view, I think I have made the right decision. This is the marquee tournament of the year with pretty much all of the best cricketers in the world playing in it. I definitely do not think it is going to hurt my career. I think it is going to do the opposite. Bethell also reacted to comparisons made by AB de Villiers, who recently said the young batter reminded him of Virat Kohli. Everyone is allowed to have their opinions and that is absolutely fine. But from a personal point of view, I think I have made the right decision. This is the marquee tournament of the year with pretty much all of the best cricketers in the world playing in it. I definitely do not think it is going to hurt my career. I think it is going to do the opposite.

So Shreyas Bhai: Punjab Kings batting all-rounder Suryansh Shedge has revealed how a brief exchange with captain Shreyas Iyer during a pre-season practice game became a defining moment in his mental approach to IPL 2026, adding that the skipper's simple advice to stop overthinking has stayed with him ever since. Shedge, 23, had to wait for his opportunity to play for PBKS in IPL 2026, but made a strong impression by hitting a fine 57 against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. He followed it up with a brisk 25 off 17 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad. So I remember I was playing a practice game before the IPL started. This was an internal practice game we were playing and I was batting well. I was batting on, I think, 65-70 not out and Shreyas bhai was in the fielding team and Arshdeep bhai was bowling. So I hit two boundaries on the first two balls. Then he nailed all the yorkers and I tried to play a scoop and I went on the non-strikers end and I was thinking what went wrong. So Shreyas Bhai was at covers. I asked him, Mei jaladi move hua kya? (Did I move early)? So he said, you're batting well, don't overthink. So I think that stuck with me before the season started and that's how you are ready when you actually go into bat in the middle, Shedge told IANS in a virtual roundtable chat on Saturday. With PBKS aiming to break their three-game losing streak against the Delhi Capitals at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala on Monday, Shedges late batting prowess will be key in getting the side back to winning ways. If I would have thought about things that are not in my control and started thinking about things and overthinking, getting negative thoughts in my head, I wouldn't have been able to perform in that situation. I think he always keeps me on my toes and we talk a lot about cricket. When it comes to technique, when it comes to attitude, what can both of us do better. So that's how we keep the environment positive, added Shedge, who knows Iyer well from their time of being in the Mumbai domestic team set-up. Shedge also shed light on the influence of head coach Ricky Ponting, his philosophy is centered around being relentlessly focused on preparation. I think when it comes to Ricky sir, it's always been preparation, preparation, preparation, nothing else. I think he always reiterates that that is what gave us success in the first stage of this IPL and last year's IPL. So we might as well focus on that. One more thing he says is, whatever happens, you have to back yourself, be courageous and know that you belong. So I keep repeating that and in the end, when it all comes down to facing the ball, all of that helps. On being left out of the playing eleven in the initial phase of the tournament, Shedge stated he treated the time on the sidelines as an opportunity rather than a setback. I think the attitude of working as hard as possible every day, even though I wasn't playing, I think that is what made me ready for my entry in the playing eleven. So we might as well focus on that. One more thing he says is, whatever happens, you have to back yourself, be courageous and know that you belong. So I keep repeating that and in the end, when it all comes down to facing the ball, all of that helps. Also Read: Live Cricket Score It would have been easier to waste time and get lost in the moment and not be serious about my cricket. But I didn't do that.

He will be a key batter to watch out for when RR host Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday evening.

He attacks from the very first ball. That's what makes him who he is. He scored a century against Gujarat Titans last season in Jaipur. That's the kind of innings he needs to remember. Hopefully, he can extend those batting spells and spend more time in the middle. It is phenomenal to watch him take on the best bowlers in the league during the Powerplay, said Tare on Star Sports. Tare also pointed to GTs middleorder batting issues, noting that despite strong starts, the side has often failed to close out matches early. Gujarat Titans have struggled to finish games early.
