India A Women Pull Off Sensational Chase Of 363 Against Australia A, Clinch 50-over Series 2-1
IS Bindra PCA Stadium: In a staggering display of superb batting and tremendous composure, India A women pulled off a mammoth chase of 363 runs to defeat Australia A women by four wickets in the third and final 50-over game of the multi-format series, and clinched a memorable 2-1 series victory at the IS Bindra PCA Stadium in Mohali on Friday. Driven by an explosive, unbeaten 88 off 56 balls from Minnu Mani, laced with 12 fours and three sixes, and all-round heroics from Niki Prasad, who hit a 71-ball 76 and picked a four-wicket haul, India A, playing minus Yastika Bhatia, Priya Punia and Sayali Satghare, overhauled Australia A's formidable total of 362/9 with 10 balls to spare. Despite no live streaming of the game, India A women's remarkable 363-run pursuit currently stands as the second-highest successful run chase in women's 50-over cricket history. The record remains with Bengal, who scripted history during the Senior Women's One-Day Trophy in 2024 by hunting down a monumental 390-run target against Haryana at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot. Internationally, New Zealand hold the record after successfully chasing down 347 against South Africa Women at the Basin Reserve in Wellington in April this year. Chasing a mammoth target, India A laid a solid foundation through top-order half-centuries before their middle order launched a relentless counter-attack. Opener Tanisha Singh hit a calculated 60 off 58 deliveries, laced with 11 boundaries, while sharing a 67-run opening stand with Vrinda Dinesh (34). Though Uma Chetry and Tejal Hasabnis fell for two each, it was the partnership between Niki and Anushka Sharma that turned the match decisively in India A's favour. Nikis crisp 76 off 71 balls was decorated with ten boundaries and a six during the middle overs, while Anushkas aggressive 58 off 42 balls was studded with four boundaries and three sixes. When Anushka departed, off-spin bowling all-rounder Minnu Mani produced a masterclass in operational finishing. Batting with a staggering strike rate of 157.14, Minnu smashed an unbeaten 88 off just 56 balls, anchored by clean hitting and aggressive running between the wickets, to seal the historic chase in style. She also shared a decisive 106-run stand with Niki, before stitching a stand of 47 runs with Jintimani Kalita (19 not out) to take India A home in an epic run chase. Earlier in the day, Australia A Women posted a towering 362/9 in their allotted 50 overs by capitalising on good batting conditions. They were driven to the massive total by a blistering century from Charli Knott and a fluent half-century from Courtney Webb. The visitors laid a steady foundation with openers, captain Tahlia Wilson (38) and Rachel Trenaman (29) putting on 75 runs for the first wicket inside the opening 13 overs. However, left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma triggered a quick double-strike in the 13th over to dismiss both openers and briefly check Australia A's momentum. Charli and Courtney then took control of the innings with a colossal 166-run partnership for the third wicket. Knott dominated the Indian bowling attack, smashing a 70-ball 109 featuring 12 boundaries and five towering sixes at a strike rate of 155.71. Webb anchored the other end effortlessly, falling just five runs short of a century with a 92-ball 95, including hitting seven boundaries, before Niki broke the stand. A late flurry from Hayley Silver-Holmes (19 off 8 balls) pushed the visitors past the 360-mark, but India A dragged themselves back as Niki (4-82) and Vaishnavi (4-68) ensured Australia A were kept below 380 after they looked set to post an even bigger total. The series will now conclude with a four-day red-ball game starting on September 29 in Mohali. Charli and Courtney then took control of the innings with a colossal 166-run partnership for the third wicket. Knott dominated the Indian bowling attack, smashing a 70-ball 109 featuring 12 boundaries and five towering sixes at a strike rate of 155.71.

Digital Desk | Rajkot, Sep 25 (IANS) The Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) has identified 4,731 potential mosquito breeding sites across 59.39 sq km through drone-based surveys and AI-assisted surveillance as part of efforts to control dengue, malaria and chikungunya in the city. Of the identified sites, 1,340 have so far been covered by field staff for insecticide spraying and source-reduction measures, while drones have carried out spraying of insecticide for a total of 40 hours and nine minutes, according to the civic bodys data released on Friday. The survey is being conducted in high-risk wards, including Wards 11, 18, 3, 4 and 13. The areas surveyed so far account for 59.39 sq km of the civic bodys total 161.85 sq km area. The drone operations cover drains, waterlogged areas, small and large pits and depressions in riverbed areas, as well as other locations that could serve as mosquito breeding sites. The civic body said the technology is being used particularly at places where conventional insecticide spraying is difficult or poses a risk. Information gathered through the drone surveys is being passed to health workers of the respective wards and urban health centres, who verify the locations and carry out insecticide spraying and source-reduction work where required. Alongside the drone-based operation, the civic bodys conventional vector-control measures continued between September 17 and 23. Field workers, Urban ASHAs and MPHWs carried out larvicidal activities at 1,50,172 houses, while fogging was conducted at 933 houses. Vehicle-mounted fogging machines were deployed in areas with higher mosquito density, with sensitive societies, public roads, and locations where large numbers of people gather also covered by the fogging operation. The health department also inspected 409 non-residential premises for mosquito breeding, including construction sites, schools, hospitals, hotels, industrial units, hostels, complexes, scrap yards, cellars, halls, wadis, party plots, religious places, petrol pumps and government offices. Notices were issued to 312 persons in residential areas and 92 in commercial areas over mosquito breeding sites, with action including recovery of administrative charges under the applicable bylaws. The civic body said dengue prevention measures include inspections of residential houses, shops, apartments, commercial complexes, industrial units and other establishments, particularly for containers holding water that can become breeding sites for Aedes mosquitoes. Separately, the municipal health department carried out surveillance for water-borne diseases through field staff attached to urban primary health centres. Between September 17 and 23, around 3,04,556 people were covered in the survey. During the exercise, 6,559 chlorine tablets and 743 ORS packets were distributed, while 3,484 R.C. tests were conducted. The civic body has urged residents to prevent water from accumulating in and around their homes, cooperate with health teams in eliminating mosquito breeding sites, maintain drinking-water hygiene, and consume water after boiling or proper purification. It has also appealed to residents to cooperate with health department teams during drone-based surveys of mosquito breeding sites.

Yashbardhan Chauhans all-round show guides India U-19 to series-clinching win over Australia U-19
Digital Desk | Rajkot, Sep 21 (IANS) An all-round performance from Yashbardhan Chauhan powered India Under-19 to a comprehensive 103-run victory over Australia Under-19 in the second Youth ODI here at the Niranjan Shah Stadium and helped the hosts seal the three-match series with a game to spare. Chauhan starred with an explosive 122 off 100 balls before picking up two crucial wickets to dismantle Australia's run chase. Electing to bat first, India Under-19 posted a formidable 341/7 in their allotted 50 overs, anchored by Chauhan's magnificent century and a blistering 87 off 92 balls from VK Vineeth. Opening batter Aaryavir Sehwag provided a brisk start at the top of the order with a 48-ball 47 after captain Lakshay Raichandani fell for 11. India then took complete control as Chauhan and Vineeth joined forces and stitched together a commanding 132-run partnership off 124 balls for the third wicket. Chauhan was in sublime touch, striking 15 boundaries and two maximums in his 100-ball stay at a strike-rate of 122 and raised his second fifty-plus score in as many matches. Vineeth provided ideal support by clearing the fence six times alongside four hits to the boundary ropes. By the time Vineeth fell in the 40th over with the scoreboard reading 233/3, the foundation for a massive total was well laid. Chauhan and Kushagra Ojha then provided the late flourish, with the latter smashing a quickfire 34 off just 20 balls to help India plunder 106 runs in the final ten overs. For Australia Under-19, pacer Thomas Vaseo was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3-78 from his ten overs. Chasing a daunting target of 342, Australia U-19 started steadily through skipper Jack Czosnek and Matthew Lough. Lough contributed a 40-ball 42, while Czosnek scored a fighting 81 off 63 balls, laden with seven fours and four sixes. The duo kept the visitors in the hunt with a 99-run stand off 82 balls for the fourth wicket after Australia had stumbled to 72/3. But the turning point came in the 27th over when Kavya Paresh Patel dismissed the dangerous Czosnek. His departure triggered a massive collapse, with Australia losing their last six wickets for just 38 runs. Despite a fighting 44 off 46 balls from Blake Cattle, laced with five fours and a six, Australia Under-19 were eventually bundled out for 238 in 41.1 overs. Spinner Chigurupati Venkata was the most successful bowler for the hosts by taking 3-64, while Chauhan capped off an outstanding day on the field with figures of 2-56. Patel was exceptionally economical, finishing with 2-23 from his seven overs, while Mohit Ulva chipped in with 1-19. Brief Scores: India Under-19 341/7 (Yashbardhan Chauhan 122, VK Vineeth 87; Thomas Vaseo 3-78) beat Australia Under-19 238 all out (Jack Czosnek 81, Blake Cattle 44; Chigurupati Venkata 3-64) by 103 runs

Nepal floods: Gujarat collects DNA samples of kin of 29 missing people
Digital Desk | Gandhinagar, Sep 10 (IANS) The Gujarat government has completed DNA sample collection from relatives of 29 of the 30 people from the state, including Non-Resident Gujaratis (NRGs), who remain missing or uncontactable following the August 26 flash floods in Nepal, particularly along the Nepal-Tibet border and Bhote Koshi River corridor. The samples are being processed for DNA profiling to help identify bodies and human remains recovered in the disaster. The process for the remaining missing person is also underway. The Gujarat State Non-Resident Gujaratis Foundation (NRGF), under the NRI Division of the General Administration Department, has been coordinating with the families and authorities in India and abroad to facilitate the DNA collection and identification process. The initiative is being carried out in accordance with guidelines issued by the Central government, under which designated forensic laboratories have been identified for DNA sample collection and profiling of first-degree relatives of missing persons. DNA profiling at laboratories designated for the purpose is being undertaken free of cost, as directed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Six designated laboratories in Gujarat are facilitating the process, with DNA profiling being undertaken in Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Junagadh and Rajkot. The National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) in Gandhinagar, is coordinating with the Ministry of External Affairs on DNA profiling of samples collected in India and their linkage with the identification process in Nepal. A 10-member NFSU forensic team has also been involved in the identification efforts in Nepal. Nepal Police has separately initiated DNA profiling of recovered bodies and human remains following the incident. NRGF has been personally contacting relatives of each missing person and guiding them about the designated laboratories, available facilities and the procedure for DNA sample collection and profiling. It has also been coordinating with NRGs and relatives living abroad to ascertain the action taken by local authorities in their respective countries. In cases involving relatives in New Zealand, the United States, Canada and African countries, NRGF has obtained information about DNA samples collected by authorities in those countries and the status of the identification process. In several cases, samples of relatives living abroad have already been collected through the respective local authorities. The DNA profiling reports are being sent directly by the designated laboratories to Nepalese authorities through the official email addresses and contact numbers notified by the them for the identification exercise. Nepal Police has also requested first-degree relatives of missing people living abroad to undergo DNA profiling at authorised forensic laboratories in their respective countries. The Gujarat Government, through the State Emergency Operations Centre (SEOC), district administrations and NRGF, has been coordinating efforts to trace people from the state and Gujaratis living abroad who were reported missing or remain uncontactable after the floods. A consolidated list of missing and untraceable persons prepared by SEOC and NRGF has also been shared with the Nepal government. So far, 30 people, including NRGs, remain untraceable from the flood-affected areas. Those reported missing or out of contact include people from Ahmedabad, Anand, Banaskantha, Kheda, Gandhinagar, Surat, Valsad, Rajkot and other parts of Gujarat. Several had travelled to Nepal for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra through different travel agencies and routes. The scale of the disaster has made conventional identification difficult in cases where bodies or human remains have been severely damaged or recovered in parts. Nepal has therefore begun a large-scale DNA identification exercise, with samples being collected from relatives and compared with DNA obtained from recovered remains. The DNA-based process is expected to help establish the identities of victims from Gujarat and other parts of India, as well as foreign nationals, and provide families with confirmation about the fate of relatives who remain missing.

Home Loan Demand Rises in 2026 as Indian Homebuyers Explore Affordable Financing Options
With the RBI repo rate held at 5.25% in June 2026, home loan rates remain stable, and borrowing up to Rs. 15 crore is within reach for eligible applicants. Review what you qualify for before you choose a lender. Home loan demand rises in 2026 as Indian homebuyers explore affordable financing options More Indian households are actively seeking home loans in 2026, driven by stabilising interest rates, rising incomes, and growing housing demand in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. The RBI's Monetary Policy Committee held its repo rate at 5.25% in June 2026, which has helped keep home loan rates of interest relatively stable for borrowers. A home loan today can go up to Rs. 15 crore* with a tenure of up to 32 years*. EMIs can start as low as Rs. 671 per lakh*. But affordability depends on more than just the rate - your income, credit score, existing obligations, and down payment all shape what you can actually borrow. This article walks you through each of these factors so you can make a clear, informed decision. Why is home loan demand rising in 2026? Several factors have come together to make 2026 a particularly active year for home loan applications across India. Stable repo rate : The RBI's MPC voted unanimously to hold the policy repo rate at 5.25% in June 2026. This gives lenders room to maintain current lending rates, and borrowers can plan their finances with more certainty. Improving affordability : With income levels rising in urban and semi-urban areas, monthly EMI payments now represent a smaller share of household income for many buyers than they did three years ago. Growing housing demand : India's urban population continues to expand. Demand for owned homes, not rented ones, has increased, especially among households in the 30-45 age group. First-time buyers entering the market : Many first-time homebuyers who postponed purchases between 2022 and 2024 are now actively looking, supported by better loan products and longer tenures. Tier 2 and Tier 3 city growth : Cities like Lucknow, Coimbatore, Rajkot, and Nagpur are seeing a sharp rise in housing projects and home loan applications. Lower property prices in these markets make entry more accessible, and lenders are expanding their reach into these geographies. How does the home loan rate of interest affect what you can buy? The rate of interest on your home loan directly changes what you pay each month and how much the loan costs you over its full life. Here is how each element is affected. EMI : A lower rate means a smaller monthly payment. On a Rs. 50 lakh loan over 20 years, the difference between 7.25% p.a. and 8.5% p.a. amounts to over Rs. 4,100 per month. Total interest paid : Over 20 years, even a 0.5% difference in rate can add up to several lakhs. Monthly budget impact : A higher rate can push your EMI above what fits your monthly income, forcing you to either reduce the loan amount or extend the tenure. Loan eligibility with the same income : Lenders calculate eligibility partly based on whether your EMI will exceed a set percentage of your monthly income. A lower rate increases your eligible loan amount without requiring a higher income. Tenure choice : When rates are lower, you can comfortably opt for a shorter tenure and save on total interest. When rates are higher, a longer tenure may be the only way to keep the EMI manageable, but that trade-off increases your total borrowing cost. What makes a home loan affordable for you? Rate alone does not determine whether a home loan fits your life. Six factors shape your actual affordability. Income : Lenders typically allow an EMI of up to 40-50% of your net monthly income. A higher income gives you access to a larger loan at any given rate. Existing obligations : If you already have a car loan, personal loan, or credit card debt, these reduce the EMI capacity available for a home loan. Clearing smaller debts before applying can improve your eligible loan amount. Credit score : A CIBIL Score of 725 or above is generally required for home loan approval. Scores above 750 can help you access better rates. A score below 700 can result in rejection or a higher rate of interest. Down payment : Lenders in India fund up to 80% of the property value, as per RBI guidelines. The remaining 20% is your down payment. A larger down payment reduces your loan amount and, consequently, your EMI and total interest. Property value : The market value and location of the property affect how much a lender will sanction. Properties in approved projects often get faster processing. Scenario : Take Richa, 34, a salaried employee in Pune with a CIBIL Score of 760 and a stable monthly income. She earns Rs. 1.20 lakh per month and wants to buy a flat worth Rs. 80 lakh. With a 20% down payment of Rs. 16 lakh, she needs a loan of Rs. 64 lakh. She's comparing two tenure options on a Rs. 50 lakh home loan at 7.50% p.a.: Tenure Interest rate Monthly EMI Total interest paid 20 years 7.50% p.a. Rs. 51,558 Rs. 59.74 lakh 25 years 7.50% p.a. Rs. 47,295 Rs. 77.89 lakh Her EMI for a 20-year tenure is approximately 43% of her monthly income - within a typical lenders threshold. If she extends the tenure to 25 years, the EMI drops to approximately 39.4% of her monthly income, giving her more monthly room. But over 25 years versus 20, she pays Rs. 18.15 lakh more in interest. Richa's decision will depend on whether she is comfortable with her current income absorbing the higher EMI, or whether she'd rather keep her monthly outgo lower and use the freed-up cash for other goals. A CIBIL Score above 725 puts her in a strong position to negotiate better terms. What should you compare before choosing a home loan? It's easy to focus on the rate alone, but the overall cost of a home loan includes fees, penalties, and conditions that vary significantly across lenders. Factor Why it matters Home loan rate of interest Determines your EMI and total repayment cost over the full tenure Processing fee A one-time charge of up to 4% of the loan amount can add significantly to your upfront cost Foreclosure rules Individual borrowers on floating rates can foreclose at nil charges; fixed-rate borrowers may face up to 4% of the outstanding principal Tenure Longer tenures reduce EMI but increase total interest; choose based on your repayment capacity Top-up availability A top-up loan lets you borrow additional funds against your existing loan, often at home loan rates Balance transfer option Transferring your loan to a lender offering a lower rate can reduce future interest outgo Reviewing all six before you apply can save you a significant amount over the loan term. What financing options are available today? If you are looking to buy a home, refinance an existing loan, or access additional funds, there are three structured options from Bajaj Finance worth knowing about. Loan type Key purpose Fresh home loan Buying a new or resale property Balance transfer Moving an existing loan to benefit from a lower rate Top-up loan Accessing additional funds over your existing loan Bajaj Finance offers home loans of up to Rs. 15 crore*, with tenures extending to 32 years* and approval in 48 hours* of application. A top-up loan of up to Rs. 1 crore* is available for balance transfer customers, usable for home repairs, medical expenses, or other needs. Interest rates for salaried applicants starting at 7.25%* p.a. There's no foreclosure charge for individual borrowers who choose a floating interest rate, which is a meaningful saving if you plan to repay early. Who can apply? Check these criteria before you apply. Meeting them clearly improves your chances of approval and can reduce processing time. Parameter Requirement Nationality Indian citizen residing in India Age - salaried 23 to 67 years (salaried) 23 to 70 years (self-employed) CIBIL Score 725 or above Eligible occupations Salaried employees, professionals, and self-employed individuals Documents required KYC documents Income proof (salary slips/ P&L statements) Business proof (self-employed applicants only) Bank statements for the last 6 months Property documents (sale agreement, title deed, approved plan) How to apply for your Bajaj Finance Home Loan online Click on the 'APPLY' button on the Bajaj Finance home loan page.

Enter your date of birth, PAN, and other details as requested based on your occupation type. Click 'SUBMIT.' A Bajaj Finance representative will contact you and guide you through the next steps. Is now a reasonable time to apply? Affordability in 2026 is not just about finding the lowest home loan rate of interest - it depends equally on your tenure choice, total borrowing cost, credit profile, and down payment. Before you apply, compare processing fees and foreclosure terms alongside the rate, and calculate total interest across different tenures. Review your eligibility criteria to avoid unnecessary credit enquiries. If you are ready to take the next step, the Bajaj Finance Home Loan offers amounts up to Rs. 15 crore*, tenure of up to 32 years*, and approval within 48 hours* - check your eligibility and apply online today.
