'Eat Good Food And Sleep For Two Days,' SKY Reveals His Plans After Indias T20 WC Triumph
T20 World Cup: India captain Suryakumar Yadav said his immediate plan after leading the team to another ICC Men's T20 World Cup title is simple: return home, enjoy some good food and catch up on much-needed rest before shifting focus to upcoming challenges. India clinched the silverware on Sunday, beating New Zealand by 96 runs in the summit clash to become the first team ever to win the tournament on home soil. With the feat, India also became the first team to defend their crown, and the only side to have won the cup thrice. Reflecting on the achievement, Suryakumar said the triumph belonged as much to the fans as it did to the players.You guys celebrated equally with us. Congratulations to all of you. Winning the World Cup in India is very special. It feels really good here. There was support and prayers from so many people, Surya told reporters outside his residence in Mumbai. The India skipper also spoke about sharing the special moment with his family, particularly his parents, who had been part of the celebrations. They were with me when we won. Even after coming back, I spoke to them. Now we will sit together calmly for a couple of days and talk peacefully. Looking ahead, Suryakumar revealed that the team is already thinking about the sports Olympic debut at the 2028 Summer Olympics. 100 per cent. The teams next aim is to win an Olympic gold for India in 2028. And that same year there will again be the T20 World Cup, so we will try our best to achieve a hat-trick of T20 World Cup wins as well. During the celebrations, chants of Surya! Surya! echoed through the crowd, something the captain said reminded him of the iconic chants once reserved for Sachin Tendulkar. The Sachin Sachin chant is completely deserved! He is the God of Cricket. He showed us the path. He played cricket for India for so many years. But this was a very special feeling for us too. He is with us in the Mumbai Indians, so we keep talking to him. It feels great that we won in Ahmedabad, and you all know how important it was to win in Ahmedabad. Suryakumar credited former India captain Rohit Sharma for placing faith in him when he took over the leadership role. Under his captaincy, we won the T20 World Cup in 2024 as a team. After that, when Jay Shah was the BCCI secretary (he is now the ICC chairman), Rohit bhai stepped down from captaincy. At that time, he showed faith in me. For the last two years, I have led this team well, and now we have won the World Cup. He showed great trust in me, and it feels great to win. This victory is for the whole of India. He also revealed the advice Rohit had given him before the tournament began. Bohot acha reaction tha unka. Kyunki tournament se pehle mai unse mila tha aur unhone mujhe bataya bhi tha ki ICC tournaments me kaise khelna hota hai. Unhone kaha tha ki team achi hai aapki aur aap log courageous hoke khelna. Aap log ki hi jeet hogi. The captain acknowledged the controversies involving Pakistan and Bangladesh during the tournament but said the ultimate focus remained on lifting the trophy. It feels amazing to win the World Cup. Our goal was that if an ICC event is happening in India and you win such a big tournament at home, it brings immense happiness. From the day we won until now, the entire country has been celebrating and this joy will continue for a long time. Suryakumar said the team handled the pressure of defending titles by trusting their preparation. We didnt really face any difficulty. We had won icc tournaments in 2024 and 2025 and were confident that if we play well, we will win this time as well. Its good that we peaked at the right time. There was always pressure. Theres no fun if theres no pressure. Speaking about the celebrations that followed Indias triumph, Suryakumar said the team chose to enjoy the moment together. I wish I could share what we did that night after becoming world champions We had a good time and stayed awake until 8 a.m. We were together. Because when you win a tournament as a team in a team sport, the celebration should also happen together. So we were all together. He also hinted at shifting focus soon to the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League. The IPL schedule hasnt been released yet. We dont know when we will play, but we are very excited for the tournament. For Suryakumar, the moment of holding the trophy was one of pure joy after years of striving. Holding the trophy felt really nice since we hadn't held it for quite some time (guess its sarcasm), and the overall feeling was extraordinary. We even enjoyed good celebrations after the match. The significance of leading India to a World Cup victory, he admitted, only truly began to sink in after returning home to Mumbai. Until yesterday, there were no feelings. But after arriving in Mumbai, this feeling is settling within me and will last for a long time, whether it be any tournament like the IPL. I really feel special. Despite the global success, the India captain said he remains deeply connected to where his journey began. It all started in Mumbai onlyin the streets of Chembur where I was born. I will not leave this place as everything started from hereincluding my cricket coaching. The significance of leading India to a World Cup victory, he admitted, only truly began to sink in after returning home to Mumbai. Until yesterday, there were no feelings.

Monitoring LPG Shortage And Travel Logistics Ahead Of 2026 IPL Season: Dhumal
Indian Premier League: Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Arun Dhumal said the tournament is monitoring potentially big challenges around hospitality and travel logistics as the 2026 season approaches, though he added that no formal concerns have been raised by hotels or other stakeholders over LPG shortage. The IPL 2026 season begins on March 28, with the schedule for the first 20 games likely to come out on March 12. The ten-team tournament attracts top international players, as well as coaches and broadcasters, thus making travel- and hospitality-related logistics critical to its smooth functioning. But with the US-Israel-Iran war leading to increasing conflict in the Middle East and affecting LPG supplies, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas said that the supply of cooking gas will be prioritised for households. It has meant that theres a supply crunch of commercial LPG to hotels and restaurants, especially with many eateries in Mumbai, Bengaluru and Chennai saying they will be forced to halt operations due to a shortage of cooking gas. Definitely, it's a challenge. But we haven't got anything yet from hotels as of now. In case there is an issue and they tell us, then we'll review it accordingly. The thing is, in case we would have gone for a booking, they would have told us. But they have to come back with us if this is an issue. So, we haven't heard anything from them. Currently we are hearing it from the media, but we are reviewing and watching the situation from our end and we'll take a call accordingly, Dhumal told IANS on Tuesday. Any wider disruption of commercial cooking gas could affect not only the league but also the ecosystem outside of it, like hospitals, NGOs, educational institutions and various industries. During IPL, many restaurants and roadside stalls see a huge uptick in sales as fans prefer to have their meals when the matches are screened live. Food delivery app services also see a big jump in their services when fans prefer to have food from the comfort of their homes during IPL matches. Aside from LPG concerns, travel logistics also remain a challenge, as seen during the recently concluded Mens T20 World Cup won by India. Zimbabwe, West Indies and South Africa were unable to leave immediately for home due to the conflict disrupting their flight routes. With their major layover destination in Dubai not available due to the conflict, Zimbabwe had to leave in three batches and reached home via Addis Ababa via Ethiopian Airlines. South Africa and West Indies, meanwhile, were stuck in Kolkata before a charter flight was arranged to get them home via Johannesburg.

Mpower's 'MPowered Voices' Spotlights Stories of Women Rebuilding Themselves
chose to move beyond symbolic celebrations and instead spotlight the real journeys of women who rebuild their lives after adversity. Through its storytelling initiative MPowered Voices Womens Day Edition , Mpower created a powerful space for women to share lived experiences of resilience, healing, and self-discovery. Mpowers MPowered Voices on Womens Day celebrated courage and resilience as women come together to share powerful journeys of healing, self-discovery, and rebuilding their lives The session brought together over 86 women, with many contributing unfiltered, moving, and deeply powerful stories that reflected the diverse challenges they navigate in both their personal and professional lives. While some shared these intimate accounts, others drew strength and wisdom from these lived experiences and life journeys. From surviving abuse and rebuilding after divorce to coping with grief, overcoming bullying and body-shaming, navigating identity, and adapting to sudden hearing loss, each story echoed a universal message of courage and renewal. MPowered Voices Womens Day Edition One of the most moving moments came from a speaker who shared her journey of growing up in the slums and enduring multiple forms of abuse before eventually discovering her self-worth and confidence. Her story captured the strength it takes not only to survive adversity, but to rebuild ones life with dignity and belief in oneself. Another powerful moment came from a mother who spoke about rebuilding her life after divorce while raising her daughter as a single parent, followed by the daughters own reflections on growing up through that journey. These intergenerational narratives highlighted how resilience often becomes a legacy passed from one generation to the next. The session also created space for conversations around mental health, identity, and healing. Speakers openly spoke about living with depression and PTSD, navigating identity as members of the LGBTQ+ community, and transforming personal struggles into purpose-driven work supporting others. Guided by Mpower Senior psychologist Dilshad Khurana, the session fostered a safe and empathetic environment where participants could speak openly and listen with compassion. The conversations struck a deep chord with the audience. Many attendees shared that hearing these stories reminded them of their own journeys and left them feeling inspired to reclaim their voice, rebuild their confidence, and move forward with renewed strength. The importance of such conversations is reflected in broader data on womens wellbeing. According to a national study on womens mental health, nearly one in two women in India experiences chronic stress due to work-life pressures, financial instability, and societal expectations, highlighting the urgent need for safe spaces that encourage dialogue, support, and healing. Womens Day is often celebrated with messages and gestures, but real empowerment lies in creating spaces where women can speak their truth, connect through shared experiences, and rebuild themselves with courage , said Alpana Mishra, leading MPowered Voices from Mpower . Beyond the speakers, the listeners too walked away with powerful takeaways. Many participants reflected that the stories helped them recognise their own strength and reminded them that rebuilding oneself is not a momentit is a continuous journey.

Why Nari Contractor Never Played Test Cricket Again After His 1962 Skull Injury?
Recently, former India cricketer and captain Nari Contractor celebrated his 92nd birthday. He is widely remembered as the cricketer whose international career was cut short after he was struck on the skull by a vicious bouncer from West Indies pacer Charlie Griffith during a tour match against Barbados on Indias 1962 tour of the Caribbean. The match was played between the second Test at Kingston which turned out to be Contractors 31st and final international appearance and the third Test of the five-match series at Kensington Oval in Barbados. His skull was fractured and it needed a series of surgeries which saved him. Everywhere it is written that this injury cut short his international cricket career. The brave attempt to stage a comeback to Test cricket was not successful. A very interesting question is why he didnt play, even after having recovered? Let us look at the facts: Fact is that, once recovered, Nari Contractor returned to cricket and very soon he was playing first class cricket. Then why didn't he stage a comeback to Test cricket? To answer this question, a relook at the injury scene is very important. When Charlie Griffith bouncer hit Contractor, he sustained a serious head injury and immediate treatment was required. Incidentally, the West Indian captain Frank Worrell was present there and he took immediate action to save the life of Nari. Former India captain Ghulam Ahmed was manager of the touring India team and he ensured that specialists arrived in time to perform surgery. Taking personal responsibility and without wasting any precious time, it was Ghulam Ahmed who had consented for the surgery. Many lined up to donate the blood to facilitate the surgery and ultimately five (Frank Worrell, Chandu Borde, Bapu Nadkarni, Polly Umrigar and KN Prabhu, a journalist) donated the blood as they had the same blood group. Contractor always said, If I am living today, its only because of Ghulam. A lesser known fact is that a steel plate was inserted in his skull to save him, instead of putting a mesh, so that if he gets hit on this side (right) again, nothing will happen to him. This process took two and a half hours but this plate helped and he recovered. Although this surgery gave confidence to Contractor to play again, he was advised to retire from playing Test cricket. On the other hand he was determined to make a comeback. Nari Contractor resumed playing first-class cricket in 1962-63 for Gujarat (Ranji Trophy) and West Zone (Duleep Trophy). He continued playing till 1970-71 and in between his name was in consideration for Indias 1967-68 tour of Australia. When Contractor resumed cricket in 1962, incidentally another Charlie (Stayers) bowled to him at practice, at the Cricket Club of India so that he should have the feel of the pace. Stayers was one of four West Indian fast bowlers brought in by the BCCI to play domestic cricket in India in that season. Contractor played in Ranji and other tournaments but not Test cricket. Contractor still regrets that he did not play a Test match, I wanted to play just one Test after my head injury. Its on record that Dr. Chandy who inserted a metal plate in Contractors head, had told him, I want to tell you (Contractor) in plain and simple English that if you want to be a vegetable for the rest of your life, dont ever play cricket again. Contractor however had other ideas and returned to cricket. He later revealed that the selectors were hesitant to pick him due to the fear of another head injury and never picked him again. They were too afraid. What if he got hit again? What if next time the result was worse? They could not take that responsibility. However Contractor kept playing domestic cricket. A very interesting fact is that whenever Nari was considered for Test selection again, Ghulam Ahmed was consulted about his condition. Nari always said that his life was saved by the team manager Ghulam Ahmed who called in the local surgeon just in time when he was vomiting blood in a bucket. Incidentally when Contractor was seriously in line for a Test comeback, the same Ghulam Ahmed was the chairman of selectors. It is reported that one evening, Ghulam met Nari and told him that he was certainly good enough to play for India again, but he would not pick him, because he could not bear the possibility of another life threatening injury to his dearest friend. Nari didnt argue and accepted that it was difficult to argue with a man who had saved his life.
