WPL 2025: Mumbai Indians Elect To Field In RCBs First Home Game As Defending Champs
Royal Challengers Bengaluru XI: Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to bowl first against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Both captains confirmed they come into the game with an unchanged starting XI. This is RCBs first home game as defending champions with the Bengaluru leg having commenced on Friday. The Bengaluru crowd certainly rose to the occasion as a sold-out Chinnaswamy crowd burst into a deafening roar when skipper Smriti Mandhana came out for the toss. It's good to be back and have this sort of welcome. I think it's massive for the team to have fans around, it only motivates us. Whatever we do, we do for them. All the girls are really proud, we have done well in the last two games but we know cricket is a game where we start from zero and we are charged up. It looks like a good wicket, Vadodara had a lot of dew but Bangalore won't have much dew. I don't mind batting first here. We are going with the same eleven, said Smirit at the toss. Mumbai won their opening three games against their opponents before RCB went on to claim victory in the next two games. The two teams last met in the Eliminator of the 2024 WPL with RCB prevailing by five runs and going on to win the tournament. The defending champions have certainly started their title defence in an emphatic manner having secured victories against Gujarat Giants and the Delhi Capitals. Mumbai Indians, the winners of the inaugural edition of the tournament, on the other hand, began their campaign with a last-ball defeat against Delhi but went on to romp past the Giants with a five-wicket win.

WPL 2025: How Sanskriti Gupta Went From Being Mumbai Indians Fan To Playing For Franchise
How Sanskriti Gupta: Sanskriti Guptas confidence in the Mumbai Indians picking her in last years WPL auction in Bengaluru is evident in her clear and assured words. Sanskriti was so certain shed join MI that she only attended the sides trials happening before the auction. I was ready in my mind that maybe MI might take me in the auction this time, as I gave only their trials. When MI eventually picked me (for INR 10 lakh), everyone was very happy, including my family back home. The head coach (Charlotte Edwards) messaged me saying, welcome to the family. Devieka (Palshikaar, batting coach) maam also texted me and said, Its good you are here; we will win this time, recalls Sanskriti, now an MI player in WPL 2025, in an exclusive conversation with IANS. Sanskritis intense fandom for MI largely stems from their 2019 IPL final victory, where Lasith Malinga trapped Shardul Thakur lbw on the final ball of the match to help the team clinch their fourth title. During the recently concluded Vadodara leg of WPL 2025, Sanskritis transition from MI supporter to player was complete after playing in the sides season opener against Delhi Capitals and being in the team for their victory over Gujarat Giants. Sanskriti, 20, is yet to fully showcase her all-round skills in the WPL - making only two runs in one innings and yet to get a go with her off-spin bowling, which was instrumental in Madhya Pradeshs Senior Womens One-Day Trophy win. But Sanskriti still made some impact via fielding - taking two catches and effecting a run-out. Although the WPL 2025 season is still early, Sanskriti is expected to make significant contributions to the matches in Bengaluru, Lucknow, and Mumbai. Right now, shes delighted at the love and support received in the camp MI, with her family keen to see her play in future matches. It has been a very good experience. When I spoke to the coaches before my first game, everyone told me that I just have to do well. I told my family back home as well about making my debut and they were very happy. They are following me a lot in the WPL. When Saturdays game was on, everyone was sitting in front of the TV and waiting for me to play. In domestic circuit, there is a lot of freedom, but they do tell you how to do something in a certain way. Here, you just have to stay the way you are. You are good, thats why you have been selected, so thats it. The coaches in MI set-up have been excellent; everyone is very supportive and have been really good towards me, she added. Sanskriti hails from Sidhi, a district an hour and 20 mins away from Rewa in Madhya Pradesh, and started playing cricket as a sixth grader. Sanskriti discovered a whole new world through cricket, especially womens cricket, which shed never known before. Encouragement to take up the sport came in heaps from her family - her father used to play football, while dabbling in cricket and basketball in his younger days. Her uncles, both older and younger, also played various sports, which meant they knew the challenges of making a career out of it. When I was 17-18, they used to ask me when I would play at the higher level and were concerned that despite playing for a long time, why nothing had materialised. But now they support me a lot and want me to play as many matches quickly, recalls Sanskriti. To further her cricket career, Sanskriti moved from Sidhi to Shahdol after 1.5 years of training, where better facilities allowed her to compete in divisional matches. Three years later, Sanskritis life took a turn when the government-funded Womens Cricket Academy in Shivpuri opened in January 2022 and she joined it instantly. I used to live in Shahdol, who I represented in the division matches, by renting a room there for three years. After that, when the government opened the academy, I directly shifted there. I didnt have an option to think and shifted directly to Shivpuri, where I found a coach named Arun Singh there. Sanskritis impressive fielding in her two WPL matches is a direct result of the strong emphasis on fielding skills during her formative years, which also contributed to her initial selection for the Madhya Pradesh senior womens team. When I used to live in Sidhi, I used to do a lot of fielding at the academy there. Its one of the big reasons why I have been good at fielding. When I shifted to Shahdol, I started batting and bowling gradually and improved those skills by practising a lot. Initially, I started by being a pacer. Then I became an off spinner after a while. I was already good at batting. Gradually, I improved in all aspects of the game. Being under Singh at the academy in Shivpuri also helped Sanskriti to evolve more as an all-rounder. I am very happy that his hard work on me is paying off. I havent got a coach like him yet. Like if a youngster gets a coach like him soon, she will go very far in their playing career. One gets to learn a lot from him. He picks the right things for you to develop as cricketers in all skillsets and is aware of what a player requires. I have a good bonding with him, as one can actually talk to him freely. Playing for Madhya Pradeshs U-16 team for three years, Sanskriti found the competition tough, and realisation struck of her needing more hardwork to play at a higher level. There, I got an idea about the higher level of womens cricket. From there, I got the realisation that no matter what happens, I have to keep playing cricket. While she loved hitting sixes over long-on and bowling off-breaks to castle right-handed batsmen, Sanskriti reflects on her three frustrating years with the U19 team, where she didnt achieve any significant progress. However, the Madhya Pradesh system refused to let her go, and she ultimately found a way to succeed. The MP team were supporting me a lot, but still, I was not able to perform. Despite that, they didnt let go of me and kept supporting. Then in U23, my performances started to come out. In my last year of U19, I scored a century and later hit 39 off 13 balls. Following this, Sanskriti played a key role in Madhya Pradeshs three successive victories in the U19, U23, and Senior Womens categories. My performances were good in all of them. I bowled the last over in U23 final when Delhi needed eight runs off six balls, and we won the match from there. Everyones support was good in recent one-day championship win. All the teammates put in a lot of effort, as we were waiting to win the seniors trophy and were working hard to get it for a long time. When the result came in front of us, it turned out to be a very good one. Though Sanskriti went wicketless in the Senior Womens One Day Trophy final this season, she had picked 16 wickets in Madhya Pradeshs run to winning trophy for the first time. Featuring in the same playing eleven alongside her was pacer Kranti Goud, who took a four-fer in the final and is now with UP Warriorz in the WPL. It also made Sanskriti and Kranti the second and third players from Madhya Pradesh to feature in the WPL after India all-rounder Pooja Vastrakar, whos currently out of action due to an injury. Its a very proud thing that the youngsters are coming from Madhya Pradesh into the WPL. Being in WPL is a good opportunity for us as we the younger players will get more experience at the senior level in terms of matches and conditions on offer. The earlier opportunities are grabbed, it will help us in the future. Its a very proud thing that as young players, we get a chance to prove ourselves on such a platform and showcase that we have the talent to do good in cricket, added Sanskriti. Sanskriti has forged strong bonds with her MI teammates, including fellow spin all-rounders Amandeep Kaur, Jintimani Kalita, and G Kamalini, and chatted with Amanjot Kaur and Sajana Sajeevan. More than anything, shes thrilled to be playing alongside Harmanpreet Kaur in WPL 2025. I dont have a lot of inspirations; its just like their some of their things. I like Harman dis fielding and attitude on the ground. So, very excited to be in this team and play alongside her. I feel good being around her as she is the Indian team skipper and is also the captain here. Sanskritis life has been an incredible journey filled with valuable lessons in going from a small town in Sidhi to playing for her beloved Mumbai Indians in the WPL. Should everything go to plan, she may become a WPL winner if MI lifts the trophy at the Brabourne Stadium on March 15, if the absolute clarity in her words are to go by. I dont have a lot of inspirations; its just like their some of their things. I like Harman dis fielding and attitude on the ground. So, very excited to be in this team and play alongside her. I feel good being around her as she is the Indian team skipper and is also the captain here. Also Read: Highest tax paying cricketers Article Source: IANS

WPL 2025: This Was Our Best Performance Of The Tournament So Far, Says Lanning
After Delhi Capitals: After Delhi Capitals held their nerve to register a seven-wicket win over UP Warriorz in WPL 2025, skipper Meg Lanning said this was undoubtedly their best performance in the ongoing competition so far. After keeping UPW to 166/7, captain Meg Lanning set the foundation for the chase with 69. But after she fell, DC needed 32 runs off the last three overs. The experienced Marizanne Kapp (29 not out) and Annabel Sutherland (41 not out) stepped up to complete the chase in the last over to ensure DC signed off from WPL 2025 Vadodara leg on a high. Happy to be on the right side. Much better out there tonight. I felt I was positive from the first ball. Got my footwork going. We had some world-class players out there (in the closing stages of the chase). I thought we were on for 200 after the first six overs! We pulled it back really nicely. Taking wickets is really important. There's always areas to improve, but I feel this was our best performance of the tournament so far, said Meg after the match ended. Talking about her unbroken partnership of 48 with Annabel, Marizanne said, To be honest, we didn't speak a lot, lucky to have got past the line. They have quality spinners, just the way Annabel supported me. It was a tough task, but luckily it came off well today. Marizanne admitted she hasnt been pleased with her bowling returns, but at the same time, she felt Meg needed the fifty hit in the chase to get her usual groove back. The pace hasn't been great (so far this season), I've relied a lot on my pace, but luckily it came up well today in the last few overs but as an all-rounder I can play a role across the game. Lanning probably needed this innings, great to see her back amongst the runs. We just need to keep playing better in every game and get a few more points on the board. Annabel, who took the Player of the Match award for her all-round performance of 41 not out and 2-26, said it was nice to get a win, and contribute in it with both of her skills. We did well to pull back in the bowling innings. Just reading the conditions... trying to use the longer boundary. Meg was going pretty well, then Kappy came in and was hitting the ball pretty well. I just try to find out what's working as early as possible. It's tough for bowlers at times. Sometimes it's your day, sometimes it's not. We lost back-to-back wickets, otherwise the total could have been different. We trusted ourselves as bowling unit. We pulled it back after the powerplay. Only if we'd taken the catches; it's part of the game, though. The result could have been different (had we taken them). The team is doing well. Even today, 166 was a good total. We want to play good cricket as a team, she said. We did well to pull back in the bowling innings. Just reading the conditions... trying to use the longer boundary. Meg was going pretty well, then Kappy came in and was hitting the ball pretty well. I just try to find out what's working as early as possible. It's tough for bowlers at times. Sometimes it's your day, sometimes it's not. Also Read: Highest tax paying cricketers Article Source: IANS

WPL 2025: Lanning, Sutherland, & Kapp Star As DC Beats UPW By Seven Wickets (ld)
Captain Meg Lanning: Captain Meg Lanning was at her majestic best through a fine 69, while Annabel Sutherland and Marizanne Kapp held their nerve to be unbeaten on 41 and 29 respectively as Delhi Capitals edged UP Warriorz by seven wickets in match six of WPL 2025 at the Kotambi Stadium on Wednesday. After Kiran Navgires whirlwind fifty off 24 balls, Shweta Sehrawats 33-ball 37 and Chinelle Henrys unbeaten 15-ball 33 powered UP Warriorz to 166/7, Meg set the foundation for DCs chase by hitting a 49-ball 69, laced with 12 fours. Later, Annabel and Marizanne played critical unbeaten knocks to ensure that DC completed the chase with a ball to spare and end the WPL 2025 Vadodara leg on a high. The duo and DC were also helped by a shoddy fielding performance from UPW helping them climb to second place in the points table. Shafali Verma began DCs chase of 167 by hitting Kranti Goud for four and six in the opening over. From the other end, Meg cut and steered Sophie Ecclestone for a brace of fours, before she and Shafali took a four each off Rajeshwari Gayakwad. Meg upped the ante by flicking Chinelle Henry for two easy fours, before creating room to cut her through backward point again and getting a similar result against Kranti as DC ended power-play at 59/0. But shortly after that, Shafali miscued a slog off the toe-end against Deepti to deep mid-wicket and fall for a 16-ball 26. One brought two for UPW as Jemimah Rodrigues top-edged a sweep to short fine leg off Sophie and fall for a duck. Meg, though, continued to dazzle in piercing the off-side by slapping Rajeshwari through point for raising her fifty. But in a bid to flick off Grace Harris, Meg shuffled far too across and was castled. Though Annabel and Marizanne held fort in the chase, DC still needed 32 runs off last 18 balls, and all options open in terms of which way the result would go. But the experienced Marizanne maintained her composure to hit back-to-back boundaries off Sophie in the 18th over. On the last ball of the 19th over, Marizannes catch was dropped by substitute Alana King, as the equation came down to 11 runs in the final over. Annabel hit Tahlia McGrath for back-to-back fours, before the all-rounder made a mess of a run-out chase as DC got over the line, with UPW paying the price for poor fielding. Previously, Kiran unleashed unbelievable carnage by hitting six fours and three sixes to smash the fastest half-century by a UP Warriorz batter in the WPL. But after she fell for 51 off 27 balls, DC came back to pick four wickets in 16 runs. It took solid knocks in the back end from Shweta and Chinelle, playing her first WPL game, to ensure UPW crossed the 160-mark. Kiran provided a rollicking start to UPWs innings by swivelling and lofting Marizanne for a brace of fours. Kiran then hit Shikha Pandey for back-to-back boundaries coming off sublime drives. After Vrinda Dinesh lofted Marizanne for a boundary, Kiran pulled her for six, before dancing down the pitch to take a four and six off Jess Jonassen. Boundaries continued to flow for Kiran as she swatted a juicy full toss from Shikha over mid-off for six, before Vrinda lofted Annabel for a boundary. But after that, DC bounced back as Vrinda pulled a cross-seam delivery from Annabel straight to deep mid-wicket. Though Kiran got her fifty in 24 balls by driving Arundhati Reddy through the gap at extra cover for four, she fell for 51 off 27 deliveries while trying to pull a short ball from Annabel, with the leading edge caught by long leg. Tahlia stepped out of her crease to drive Jess on the off-side, but misses the delivery and was stumped swiftly by Sarah Bryce. In the next over, Sarah exhibited another swift work with the gloves to have Deepti stumped, and leave UPW in tatters at 83/4. Grace and Shweta tried resurrecting the innings with their 36-run stand off 32 balls, before the former spooned straight to mid-off against Arundhati. Chinelle injected much-needed momentum into the innings by thumping Minnu Mani for four, before smacking an off-colour Shikha for two sixes and as many fours to take 23 runs off the 17th over. The duo took a four each off Arundhati, before being dismissed in the final over by Marizanne as UPW could get only 16 runs off the last three overs. Tahlia stepped out of her crease to drive Jess on the off-side, but misses the delivery and was stumped swiftly by Sarah Bryce. In the next over, Sarah exhibited another swift work with the gloves to have Deepti stumped, and leave UPW in tatters at 83/4. Grace and Shweta tried resurrecting the innings with their 36-run stand off 32 balls, before the former spooned straight to mid-off against Arundhati.

The Harmanpreet Kaur: Gujarat Giants head coach Michael Klinger admitted that tactical errors led his side to lose against Mumbai Indians in the WPL 2025. However, he commended the bowlers for keeping the team in the game for as long as possible. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led MI showcased a dominant performance in the field to complete a comfortable five-wicket win on Tuesday, helping them maintain their unbeaten run against Gujarat Giants (GG) with five wins out of five. The trio of Hayley Matthews (3-16), Amelia Kerr (2-22), and Natalie Sciver-Brunt (2-26) ensured Mumbai only had to get 121 for victory. MI bowler's superb display left GG with their backs firmly against the wall at 28/4 at the end of the powerplay. The powerplay didn't go according to plan, did it? Losing four wickets, obviously Ash off the last ball of the power play, it's always tough to come back from that. We do bat pretty deep though, so probably from the end of the powerplay we did pretty well to get to 120. In saying that, a couple more lengthy partnerships could have been the difference to get us to 140-145 and I think we may have been in the game with that, Klinger said in a post-match press conference. MI run-chase was not without hiccups after making a solid start, as Hayley walked back for 17 in the fourth over, with MI reaching 37/1 in the powerplay. Later, Priya Mishra struck in her very first over to dismiss Yastika Bhatia. A big scalp followed in the very next over as Harmanpreet (4) was trapped in front by Kashvee Gautam, leaving MI at 55/3 after eight overs. But it was not enough for GG to save the match as Sciver-Brunt's 57 took MI home with 3.5 overs to spare. But as you've seen here, it is difficult defending anything really, obviously, 120 is just not enough. But it does get very wet out there, and fielding becomes a little bit more difficult, and bowling becomes a little more difficult. But I thought our bowlers did a great job to give us a little bit of a sniff to win with about six or seven overs to go. But it's always tough when you're defending a 120 score. It was more, not so much a mindset thing, probably just more a tactical strategy thing where maybe they could try to access different areas or look to target the other side, the shorter side. So in terms of their mindset, we're happy with them playing aggressive cricket. Maybe just tactically and strategically it can be a little bit better next time, he added. The match in Vadodara marked the end of Gujarat Giants' home leg. With only one win from three matches, they now head to Bengaluru for the next leg of the tournament to turn their fortunes around. I would have loved to come out of here, obviously two in three games, but after losing the first one and winning the other night, it would have been nice to come out in front of our home crowd and win again and go to Bangalore with two wins, he admitted. But we go there with one win, it's certainly one more than we had this time last year. The match in Vadodara marked the end of Gujarat Giants' home leg. With only one win from three matches, they now head to Bengaluru for the next leg of the tournament to turn their fortunes around. Also Read: Highest tax paying cricketers Article Source: IANS
WPL: As The Tournament Progresses, MI's Batting Unit Will Fully Hit Its Stride, Opines Mithali
Praising Nat Sciver: Former India skipper Mithali Raj has praised Mumbai Indians' outstanding performance in the comfortable five-wicket win over Gujarat Giants in the Women's Premier League (WPL) match and said it was a comprehensive and commanding victory for inaugural season champions. A combined bowling effort helped Mumbai Indians finally get on the board with a convincing five-wicket win over Gujarat Giants in Vadodara on Tuesday. The trio of Hayley Matthews (3-16), Amelia Kerr (2-22), and Natalie Sciver-Brunt (2-26) ensured Mumbai only had to get 121 for victory. Mumbai's chase was led by Nat Sciver-Brunt, who followed up her game-changing PowerPlay spell with a half-century to cap off a special all-round effort that secured the win with 23 balls to spare. Mumbai Indians started strong by winning the toss and then maintained control by consistently taking crucial wickets against Gujarat Giants. They bowled in the right areas, picking up key dismissals, particularly of the overseas players, restricting Gujarat Giants to just 121 runs. The chase was executed efficiently, finishing in just over 16 overs. Overall, it was a comprehensive and commanding victory for Mumbai Indians, Mithali said on JioHotstar. MI captain Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and elected to field. The decision quickly paid dividends as Sciver-Brunt triggered the PowerPlay collapse when she got the huge wicket of Beth Mooney. On the stroke of the powerplay, she got rid of the in-form Ashleigh Gardner for just 10 runs, to lend GG a mighty blow. Praising Nat Sciver-Brunts performance, Mithali said, Nat Sciver-Brunt is having a fantastic season, both with the ball and the bat. This was her second fifty of the season, and she played with great assurance, displaying her signature shots. The moment she walks in, you can tell she is in top form. With the ball, she made an impact early, sharing the new-ball responsibilities with Shabnim Ismail and delivering a crucial breakthrough by dismissing Beth Mooney. That was a significant moment in the match, as Mooney has been a consistent performer at the top for Gujarat Giants. Highlighting MI's collective team effort in their victory, Mithali added, While Hayley Matthews didnt have a big innings today, she did provide a solid start. Amelia Kerr also got off to a decent beginning. As the tournament progresses, by the third or fourth game, we can expect Mumbai Indians' batting unit to fully hit its stride. However, as a captain, it is reassuring to see your in-form batter consistently contributing runs, which bodes well for the team moving forward. Former West Indies cricketer Stacy-Ann King analysed Gujarat Giants' performance and said Ashleigh Gardner-led side needs to get a good start and a contribution from the middle order to put together a total they can defend. As we look back at tonight's match and the way they went about things, I thought they were just a bit too aggressive too early, especially after losing the openers. So, it's an opportunity now to have a look at where they went wrong, batting wise they need to look at those partnerships. They need to get a good start, the middle order needs to contribute, and I think that's the big thing for them. Former West Indies cricketer Stacy-Ann King analysed Gujarat Giants' performance and said Ashleigh Gardner-led side needs to get a good start and a contribution from the middle order to put together a total they can defend.

GJ-W vs MUM-W Match 5, TATA WPL 2025, Dream11 Prediction: The inaugural season winner, Mumbai Indians, didn't have a start that they would have wanted. They lost their opening clash against Delhi Capitals by just two runs. But they will be looking to bounce back here. MI-W are scheduled to face Gujarat Giants Women in match no. 5 of the TATA WPL 2025. This clash will take place at 7:30 PM IST on Tuesday at the Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara. Harmanpreet Kaur and her team will look to get points from this clash.

GJ-W vs MUM-W: Head-to-Head In WPL Total Matches : 0 MUM-W : 0 GJ-W : 4 No Result : 0 GJ-W vs MUM-W: Ground Pitch Report The pitch has been pretty flat, and batters can enjoy batting here. However, bowlers have some good assistance in the first innings as the ball will skid on to the bat. Secondly, cutters and slower ones can stick to the surface. But if we look at this surface, it is ideal for batting, and chasing is preferable. GJ-W vs MUM-W: Predicted XIs: GJ Women: Beth Mooney (wk), Laura Wolvaardt, Dayalan Hemalatha, Ashleigh Gardner (c), Deandra Dottin, Simran Shaikh, Harleen Deol, Tanuja Kanwar, Sayali Satghare, Kashvee Gautam, Priya Mishra MUM Women: Hayley Matthews, Yastika Bhatia (wk), Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Amelia Kerr, Sajeevan Sajana, Amanjot Kaur, Jintimani Kalita, Sanskriti Gupta, Shabnim Ismail, Saika Ishaque GJ-W vs MUM-W: Dream11 Team Wicket-keepers : Beth Mooney, Yastika Bhatia Batters : Laura Wolvaardt, Harmanpreet Kaur All-rounders : Ashleigh Gardner (Captain), Deandra Dottin, Hayley Matthews, Nat Sciver-Brunt (Vice Captain), Amelia Kerr Bowler s: Shabnim Ismail, Kashvee Gautam Dream11 Prediction: Gujarat Giants Women have never beaten Mumbai Indians Women in the WPL history. That will be on the minds of both sides. MUM-W struggled with the bat in the first innings while GUJ-W are coming off a good game, which is why we predict GJ-W to win here.

Ahmedabad Diary | BJP set to reshape leadership ahead of Holi
After the Delhi Assembly elections, the BJP high command has shifted its focus to other matters. The results of the local self-rule elections held in Gujarat will be announced on Tuesday. Soon after, the BJP plans to select new presidents for various states, including the national president. There are speculations that a new president may be appointed in Gujarat to replace C.R. Patil before Holi. Saurashtra is currently viewed as the strongest contender for this position, with many party workers observing changes in the BJPs organizational structure since the Lok Sabha elections. Political storm as Faisal Patel quits Congress Political tension is rising in the state following the resignation of Congress leader Faisal Patel from the party. His announcement on social media platform X has created a significant stir, with BJP leaders seizing the opportunity to criticize Congress. BJP spokesperson Hrishikesh Patel said that the Congress is losing the trust of its workers and is directionless, likening it to a rudderless ship. Meanwhile, Congress leader Himmat Singh Patel also commented on the ongoing situation. Reactions from various political figures are pouring in, highlighting the growing divide and unrest within the states political landscape. Row over BJP leaders threats during campaign Vadodara BJP president Satish Patel recently courted controversy for a threatening remark he made while campaigning for party candidates in Karjan Municipality, Vadodara, during the local self-government elections. While addressing voters in Ward Number 7, he stated, If you bring victory to all four BJP candidates, your houses will remain intact, but if you betray us, I wont let you live anywhere. His comment, which was intended to instill fear, has faced widespread criticism. Patel further escalated tensions by labeling opponents as Ravana, aiming to undermine their credibility and disrupt the mood of the voters.

Kochi corporation all set to revive plans to issue municipal bonds
KOCHI: Following the state budget proposal to allow local bodies to raise funds by issuing bonds, Kochi corporation is planning to take that route to bankroll its infrastructure development. The civic body, which had even earlier considered issuing municipal bonds, aims to take steps to complete the procedure in the coming months. The budget recommended the formulation of a detailed proposal to allow urban local bodies to raise an amount of Rs 1,000 crore through municipal bonds. The funds can be used to implement projects like IT parks, commercial centres, roads, waste management, and water-supply schemes. A municipal bond is a debt security a local body can issue to raise funds for public projects. The person who purchases a municipal bond is lending money to the local body over a period of time in return for interest payments. Many local bodies in the country have raised funds through municipal bonds, including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Indore, Lucknow, and Vadodara. Bengaluru Municipal Corporation was the first local body in India to issue municipal bonds in 1997. Top officials said Kochi corporation needs to improve its credit rating before taking necessary steps to issue bonds. Before proceeding with the proposal, we need to update the financial accounts, said mayor M Anilkumar. There are several proceedings to be completed before we move to issue the bonds. The finance should be examined and errors rectified, he told TNIE . The mayor said funds raised through the bonds can be used for infrastructure development, besides projects like canal rejuvenation. The amount can be employed for investment purposes as well, said Anilkumar. Former mayor K J Sohan said the implementation of the proposal is in question. Before proceeding with the proposal, the corporation needs to improve its credit rating. The errors in its finances and accounts must also be corrected, he said. Anilkumar said the earlier move to issue municipal bonds did not work as there was no sanction from the state government. The council and the peoples representatives had earlier discussed the possibilities of issuing muni-bonds with consulting firms. However, without the approval of the state government we could not operationalise the plan, he said, adding that the urban commission had submitted a report to the state government suggesting the formulation of a proposal to raise funds through municipal bonds. What are municipal bonds? Municipal bonds, or munis, are debt securities that local governments issue. They are a way for investors to lend money to the government in exchange for interest payments. Which cities have raised munis? Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Indore, Lucknow, and Vadodara. Which city tapped munis first? Bengaluru in 1997. Whats the tenure of munis? Municipal bonds can have a maturity period of 1 to 30 years. The length of time an investor holds the bond is called its tenure. Whats the interest rate on munis? Interest rates on municipal bonds in India can range from 7% to 9% annually. However, the exact rate depends on several factors, including the bonds maturity period, the issuing municipalitys credit rating, and prevailing interest rates.
