APL 2026: Rohit Sens 96, Bastab Roys Four-for Guide Guwahati Royals To 30-run Win
Assam Premier League: Guwahati Royals kept their campaign firmly on track with a convincing 30-run victory over Charaideo Sunrisers in Match 37 of the Assam Premier League 2026 at the ACA Stadium, Guwahati, on Wednesday. Rohit Sens blistering 96 at the top of the order set up a commanding total for Royals, before Bastab Roys superb four-wicket haul helped restrict Sunrisers well short of the target. Manash Jyoti Gogoi fought hard for the chasing side with a well-made 32, but could not take his team over the line. Opting to field, Rohit Sen and Sanjay Kumar Singh put on 38 for the opening stand before Singh fell for 9 in the fifth over.

Rohit produced some exquisite strokes to score 96 off just 57 balls, with six fours and eight sixes, before eventually falling as Royals surged to 159 for 4 in the 18th over.

Reshabh and Soumya Kanti Paul then added some quick runs, with Paul striking 23 off just 10 balls, but regular wickets kept the required rate climbing. Manash Jyoti Gogoi fought hard in the middle overs, scoring 32 off 21 balls, but wickets continued to tumble at the other end. Bastab proved the difference for Royals, returning figures of 4/21 to wrap up the chase.

Mumbai, Aug 19 (PTI) The rupee fell 2 paise to close at 95.76 (provisional) against the US dollar on Wednesday as a sharp rise in global crude oil prices amid heightened tensions in West Asia kept markets on edge. A sharp decline in domestic equity markets put further pressure on the local unit, while RBI intervention and foreign fund inflows lent support, according to forex traders. At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 95.72 and traded in a very narrow range of 95.72-95.76. It eventually settled at 95.76 (provisional), down 2 paise from its previous close.

For Randeep Hooda, photography has been closely connected with the way he observes the world. His interest in the medium began with his fascination for wildlife and forests, eventually influencing how he approached filmmaking and visual composition. Hooda has often spoken about how photographing nature helped him develop a better understanding of framing. According to the actor-filmmaker, experimenting with composition through a still camera eventually became useful when he stepped behind the camera to direct. The composition that I experiment with on my camera helped me in framing the film shots, from bringing attention to certain parts of the frame to how to make an aesthetic framing, Hooda said. His interest in photography developed through his visits to forests, where he initially went simply to experience nature. Over time, carrying a camera changed the way he observed his surroundings. Earlier I used to go to the jungle and enjoy the beauty. Then I brought a camera, he recalled. That experience became particularly relevant when Hooda made his directorial debut with Swatantrya Veer Savarkar. His familiarity with light, composition and visual details through photography helped him approach filmmaking with a more considered eye. However, Hooda also believes the widespread availability of cameras has changed how photographs are perceived. With smartphones making photography accessible to almost everyone, he feels the sheer volume of images has affected their value. Now everybody gets to capture what they like, but the value of a photograph has also diminished because they are available in abundance. The reverence of that one superbly framed shot has become less, he said. Despite this, his connection with wildlife photography continues. For Hooda, spending time in nature remains an exercise in observation, where waiting for the right moment and composition can be as important as capturing it.

Our Aim Should Be To Get Two Or Three Players From APL To Play In The IPL: Abu Nechim
Assam Premier League: Guwahati Royals coach Abu Nechim praised his team's fearless approach after they secured their place in the semifinals of the Assam Premier League (APL), while also highlighting the tournament's role in creating a pathway for young cricketers from Assam. Reflecting on the Royals' performance, Nechim said the team's intensity and attacking approach had been key to their success. It was a very good match. Our intensity throughout the 40 overs was very good. Our cricket, which I have been saying since the first day, is fearless, attacking cricket. We did that today, and we got the result, said Nechim. Nechim was also pleased with the return of Muktar Hussain, who had missed games due to injury and made an immediate impact on his comeback. Muktar came back to the team and bowled very well. That is a very good thing for us, he said. With the Royals now through to the semi-finals, Nechim said the team would be looking to maintain its momentum and push for a strong finish to the league stage. It is very important to continue winning matches. There is a match tomorrow as well, and we will definitely win. After that, we will see what happens. But I would like to continue this momentum, Nechim said. The Royals coach also reflected on the challenges faced during their preparation for the tournament. With only five to six days available for preparation and persistent rain limiting outdoor practice, the team had to make the most of its limited training time. We did not get much time. We got only 5-6 days of preparation time. It was raining continuously. We were practising indoors. We were not able to use the field, he said. Despite those challenges, Nechim believes the tournament has already showcased several promising young players. He named Bastab Roy, Dibrugarh's fast bowler Vikas Ranjan, Vishal Chahar, Rishabh Deepak, as well as Guwahati Royals' Gunjan Jyoti Deka and Nipan Deka among those who have impressed him. He also highlighted Ayushman Malakar's recent performance. For Nechim, the ultimate measure of the inaugural APL's success will be the number of players who are able to use the platform to progress to the IPL. Our goal in APL was that if we get 2-3 players from APL to play in the IPL, then we will consider APL a success. Our aim should be to get 2-3 players to play in the IPL, so that we can make a good player, he said. Looking ahead to the semi-finals, Nechim identified the middle overs and spin bowling as areas where the Royals can still improve. Right now we are doing well in all three departments. But if we can improve in the middle overs, it will be good. And we should work on the spin department, he said. For Nechim, the ultimate measure of the inaugural APL's success will be the number of players who are able to use the platform to progress to the IPL. Our goal in APL was that if we get 2-3 players from APL to play in the IPL, then we will consider APL a success. Our aim should be to get 2-3 players to play in the IPL, so that we can make a good player, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score It is a very big platform.
