Fruit growers seek dedicated rail corridor, push for AC cargo trains
Srinagar, Apr 30:Kashmirs fruit growers have urged the Northern Railway to fast-track dedicated, temperature-controlled cargo solutions and expand rail logistics infrastructure to address long-standing challenges in transporting perishable produce to markets across India. The demand was raised during a joint inspection-cum-interaction between railway officials and representatives of the horticulture trade, who travelled from Srinagar to Baramulla via key stations including Budgam, Pattan, and Sopore. Led by Bashir Ahmed Basheer of the New Kashmir Fruit Association (NKFA), the growers delegation highlighted that inadequate cold-chain logistics and limited rail cargo facilities continue to impact returns for apple, cherry, and other fruit producers. Growers emphasised the urgent need for refrigerated (AC) cargo trains to ensure quality preservation during long-distance transportation, particularly for highly perishable fruits like cherries. They also pushed for expansion of loading points, identifying Sopore and Baramulla for bulk loading facilities, while proposing phased development of infrastructure at Anantnag, Awantipora, and Pampore. A key concern raised by the growers was the difficulty faced during last years peak season, including delays caused by cumbersome security checks, restricted access to stations, and inefficient handling systems. They called for modern scanning systems and streamlined procedures to reduce turnaround time and prevent spoilage. The delegation also pressed for expanding the existing cherry parcel service operated from Katra to Mumbai from five days to a daily schedule, stating that uninterrupted movement is critical during the short cherry harvesting window. In addition, growers highlighted the need for better unloading and handling facilities at major destination terminals such as Bandra Terminus, Mumbai Central, and Adarsh Nagar in Delhi to ensure quicker market access and minimise losses. Railway officials assured the delegation that the proposalsincluding AC cargo services, improved logistics infrastructure, and operational streamliningwould be examined. Growers expressed cautious optimism, noting that timely implementation could significantly enhance market reach, reduce post-harvest losses, and improve profitability for Kashmirs horticulture sector. The visiting team also inspected orchards in Tangmarg to align logistics planning with on-ground production realities, reinforcing the growers call for a more responsive and efficient rail-based supply chain.

Fielders Must Back Bowlers Who Are Under The Pump Due To Batters Attacking Hard In IPL, Says Rhodes
European T20 Premier League: Jonty Rhodes, the former South Africa fielding stalwart who is now the co-owner of the Rotterdam franchise in the European T20 Premier League (ETPL), said the Impact Player rule in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has created a relentless batting environment that leaves bowlers under the pump and that only exceptional fielding can offer them any relief. Rhodes comments come against the backdrop of a bruising IPL 2026 season for bowlers, where even ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, has been carted for huge runs and picked just two wickets in seven games. The imbalance between bat and ball has prompted growing debate about whether the tournament's playing conditions have swung too far in favour of batters, especially with the Impact Player rule in picture. I just think that the fact that the impact player rule, which has come in just means that there's an extra batter in your team and in 20 overs, if you play aggressively, you can still keep taking risks. So, yes, you can impact another bowler in, but we know that in T20 cricket, the surface is good. There's often not a lot of the bowlers, who don't often have the edge. So when you've got an extra batter in your lineup, no matter how many bowlers - you can have seven bowlers if you want. But when batters are coming at you from ball one and throughout that middle period, which used to be a bit of a building period, especially if you've lost two or three wickets, you then use the sort of overs eight to 12 or 14 as a rebuilding phase and then you launch for the last six in those death overs, Rhodes told IANS in an exclusive conversation on Thursday, facilitated by ETPL. Rhodes, who built his reputation as perhaps the finest fielder the game has seen during his international career, where he played 52 Tests and 254 ODIs, and later was in coaching staff of Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants, stated the burden on fielders to compensate for the bowlers being carted for runs had never been greater. But I think from a perspective of having that impact player, it means that the batters just keep coming at you ball after ball after ball. So, you don't necessarily see it outside the IPL without the impact player rule. But from the start, you really have to be on with your fielding because that one run could make a difference. You need to assist your bowlers and that spectacular catch or a brilliant run-out in the field, that really could be the difference between a team because taking wickets is difficult enough. If you can do something spectacular in the field and assist the bowlers, that often is the difference between winning and losing, he added. Rhodes also noted that tournaments operating without the Impact Player rule, including the European T20 Premier League, will aim to present a more balanced contest, thanks to all-rounders regaining their value and batting depth naturally curtailed. You need to assist your bowlers and that spectacular catch or a brilliant run-out in the field, that really could be the difference between a team because taking wickets is difficult enough. If you can do something spectacular in the field and assist the bowlers, that often is the difference between winning and losing, he added. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Plus there's one batter short, so it does even the contest slightly. But you're right - I mean, if the batters are dominating, there's going to have to be a big focus on the fielders backing up their bowlers, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

Creating Impact In 7-8 Balls Is A Special Skill: Bangar Praises Salil Aroras standout Quality
With Tilak Varma: Former India all-rounder Sanjay Bangar praised Sunrisers Hyderabad youngster Salil Arora for his ability to make an immediate impact, while also pointing out the key areas where the Mumbai Indians need improvement following their defeat in the ongoing IPL 2026. Arora, who played a brief but effective cameo of 30 off 10 in SRHs record chase against MI at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday, drew attention for his composure and clarity despite limited time at the crease. Chasing a daunting 244, Hyderabads batting unit fired collectively, with contributions coming across the order, including Aroras finishing role. Bangar highlighted the youngsters temperament and ability to maximise a short stay, noting how modern players are trained to deliver immediate impact. He stays still, understands the plan, and watches the ball very closely. When he looks to attack, he commits fully to his shots. To execute those shots in a brief 78 ball innings is a special skill. It reflects the way players train today, preparing to make an impact in very few deliveries. Thats a standout quality in his batting, Bangar told JioStar. While SRH impressed with their fearless approach, Bangar turned his focus to MIs overall performance, identifying both positives and concerns in their campaign so far. He stays still, understands the plan, and watches the ball very closely. When he looks to attack, he commits fully to his shots. To execute those shots in a brief 78 ball innings is a special skill. It reflects the way players train today, preparing to make an impact in very few deliveries. Thats a standout quality in his batting, Bangar told JioStar. Also Read: Live Cricket Score There are positives in the batting, especially with the energy at the top from players like Ryan Rickelton. Even if Rohit Sharma returns, the batting combination looks flexible. However, they still need contributions from Suryakumar Yadav, who hasnt fired consistently. With Tilak Varma in good form, the batting is not a major concern. The bigger issue is bowling. Mumbai Indians success has always been built on strong bowling units. They showed signs of swing, which is a positive, but they need more support in that department to get back into the tournament, Bangar stated. Article Source: IANS

Required Rate Not Getting Out Of Control Was The Real Beauty Of SRH's Chase: Chawla
New Delhi: Former India spinner Piyush Chawla credited Sunrisers Hyderabad batters for executing a near-perfect run chase against Mumbai Indians, highlighting that at no point their asking run rate spiralled out of control. Chasing a daunting 244 at the Wankhede Stadium, SRH produced one of the most dominant batting performances of the season, with their top order setting the tone early and the middle order ensuring there were no stumbles along the way. You have to give full credit to the batters. We know that teams like Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad are capable of chasing such totals, and they showed that again. They came out with clear intent in the Powerplay and, importantly, didnt lose a wicket. They even put pressure on Jasprit Bumrah early, taking nearly 30 runs off his first two overs. After that, the rest of the batters contributed well. At no stage did the required rate get out of control. In fact, it stayed below the asking rate for most of the innings. That was the real beauty of this chase, Chawla told JioStar. The foundation of the chase was laid by the openers, with Travis Head playing a key role through a brisk half-century that put Mumbais bowlers under immediate pressure.

Were All Again Going To Be Singing 'Bumrah, Bumrah'; Let's Cut Him A Little Slack: Pollard
Indian Premier League: Mumbai Indians batting coach Kieron Pollard has thrown his support behind pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, urging critics to show patience despite the pacers modest returns in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026 season. The remarks came after the Mumbai Indians suffered a heavy six-wicket defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad, where even a daunting total of 243 proved insufficient. Bumrah, one of the sides key bowlers, has managed just two wickets in eight matches so far, though he continues to maintain the best economy rate among MI bowlers. Addressing questions around Bumrahs form, Pollard defended the Indian pacer and highlighted the pressures faced by players performing under constant scrutiny. We are unfortunate, you know, to always be in the public eye. So when we do bad, it's always being highlighted. But when normal people have jobs and they send the wrong email, they have the opportunity to edit the words and all these things. We don't have the opportunity. So it's fair and fine when you're not doing well, you accept certain things. And knowing the individual, I know he's going to bounce back with greater heights and take wickets, Pollard said in the post-match press conference. And we are all, again, going to be singing 'Bumrah, Bumrah', not only for Mumbai Indians, but for India. So, again, let's cut him a little slack, he stated. Pollard also reflected on Mumbais overall campaign, admitting that inconsistency across departments has hurt their chances this season. With just two wins from eight matches, the five-time champions currently find themselves in the lower half of the table. It has not been as consistent as we would have hoped and, again, the results are showing. So it's something that you can't shy away from. You can sit and you can try to pinpoint every little aspect of it, but, again, collectively, I think we have not been good enough, Pollard said. Despite the setbacks, Pollard maintained that the team has not lost belief and remains determined to turn things around in the remainder of the tournament. It has not been as consistent as we would have hoped and, again, the results are showing. So it's something that you can't shy away from.

IPL 2026 playoff scenarios: What MI need to do and why time is running out
Mumbai Indians' IPL 2026 playoff hopes are in dire straits after a six-wicket loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad. Despite a stellar 123* from Ryan Rickelton, MI's bowling woes persist, leaving them with a daunting task of winning nearly all remaining matches. Their poor net run rate further complicates qualification, demanding dominant victories. With 2 wins in 8 games (4 points) and a NRR of -0.784, they are far from the pack.

IPL 2026: MI Dont Know Which Way To Go; Theyve Faltered Scoring First & Chasing, Says Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra: Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes the Mumbai Indians are grappling with an identity crisis in the ongoing IPL 2026 season, having struggled to find consistency both while setting targets and chasing them. Mumbais woes were highlighted once again in their recent defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad, where, despite posting a formidable 243/5 on the board, they were unable to defend the total as SRH chased it down comfortably. The loss came shortly after another disappointing outing in which Mumbai failed to chase a modest target, exposing vulnerabilities in both approaches. Chopra pointed out that such contrasting failures have left the team uncertain about their preferred strategy, especially as their batting unit has not been delivering consistently. There will be a bit of an identity crisis because, the other day, when they were asked to chase down a total, they couldnt. They were actually dismissed for under 120. So, that is when they realised, Maybe, we are not really good at chasing, our batting is not clicking. Lets bat first. Then you score 243 and get it chased down in 18.4 overs with Jasprit Bumrah on your side. It is unimaginable that 240-odd can be chased down with this much ease when you have a genius like Bumrah. So, right now, I dont know if they actually know which way to go. Can they score first or chase? Both ways, they've faltered, Chopra told JioStar.

Former South Africa: Former South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn heaped praise on Sunrisers Hyderabads middle-order batter Heinrich Klaasen for his scintillating knock against Mumbai Indians and pointed out that the batter is still right up there as an Orange Cap contender despite coming out to bat in the middle order. After openers Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head added 129 runs for the frist wicket, Klaasen thrashed an unbeaten 65 off 30, while Salil Arora smoked 30 not out off ten balls to hand SRH the fourth-highest successful chase in the IPL and their fifth straight win of the season. Steyn pointed out that Klaasens numbers are even more impressive considering he does not open the batting and often comes in after the top order has already faced a significant portion of the innings. The numbers are just insane because hes competing with the guys at the top of the order, the opening batters. If you look at the opening batters from Sunrisers Hyderabad in particular, they get off to incredible starts and do the bulk of the run-scoring. He comes out later and yet; hes still right up there as an Orange Cap contender. Its an exceptional effort by him, Steyn told JioStar. Every time he comes out, he looks in total control. He looks steady, hits the ball down the ground nicely, and gets himself in. When he wants to pull the trigger, hes able to hit the ball anywhere. That six where he went reverse off the spinner, how? He just pulls it out in the middle of a game. Incredible hand-eye coordination, skill, and then obviously, the mental side to back his ability to do it under pressure, he added. Klaasens ability to accelerate at will and maintain composure under pressure has been central to Hyderabads strong performances this season, particularly in high-stakes run chases, where his finishing has stood out.

SA Cricket Should Ask Klaasen If He Can Rejoin International Cricket: Pietersen
ODI World Cup: Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen reserved special praise for Heinrich Klaasen after the 34-year-old batter's 65-run innings, which helped Sunrisers Hyderabad's win over Mumbai Indians, saying the South Africa cricket board should ask Klassen to join the national team for the ODI World Cup in 2027. After Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma gave SRH a flying start in their chase of 244, Klaasen, the highest run-scorer of the season from the batting position number four and onwards, contributed 65 off just 30, laced with seven boundaries and four maximums, as SRH raced to a finish with eight balls to spare. There should be a phone call this morning from the South African cricket board to Heinrich Klaasen to ask him if he can rejoin international cricket and be a central figure in their campaign to try and win their first ever World Cup, which will be in South Africa next year, Pietersen said in an X post.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score After their fifth successive win of the season, SRH moved to the third spot on the points table. Speaking after the game, Klassen said, It's nice to contribute to the team. It's a great win for us and hopefully we can repeat it at home. Like I said earlier, if they're going at 15, 16, it's going to make your life a little bit easier (on the openers). So when I got in, I think we needed just under 10s chasing 250, so that's an incredible job from them. Article Source: IANS
