Assam Premier League: Guwahati Royals moved to the top of the Assam Premier League (APL) 2026 table after handing Dibrugarh Warriors their first defeat in the tournament, with Purple Cap holder Deepak Gohain once again leading the way with the ball. The result takes the Royals to 8 points from 5 matches, edging Warriors on Net Run Rate at the top of the standings, with both sides now on four wins apiece. Gohain himself sits at the top of the tournament's bowling charts with 12 wickets from 5 matches at an economy of exactly 5.00 and an average of 8.33, with best figures of 3/11. Reflecting on his performance, the left-arm spinner credited his experience for helping him navigate match situations through a long campaign. Experience helps a lot. When you are playing a big tournament like this, the experience is useful in match situations.

For Gohain, the win over a side the Royals had never previously beaten carried special significance. It's been a big boost for the team.

Sharing an insight into what has worked for him with the ball, the 33-year-old highlighted that variation has been the key. My mindset is simple. I try to keep varying my bowling, especially because pace variation is very important on this wicket. If you can do that properly and hit the right length, as a bowler, you get help from the wicket. The one thing that has worked consistently for me is cramping the batters for room to get the better of them, he stated. The left-arm spinner credited the team's all-round effort built on a settled, confident dressing room. The team's performance has been really good. We have won 4 out of 5 matches now.

The innings also produced 26 boundaries in total, the second-most by a side in an innings this season. Royals got off to an electric start in their chase, smashing 24 runs off the very first over, the highest-scoring over of the season so far. Sen set the tone, reaching his half-century off just 15 balls, the fastest fifty recorded in the tournament this year. He played the aggressor as Royals also brought up the fastest team fifty of the campaign, getting there in just three overs, and notched up the highest powerplay score of the season, reaching 101/2 inside the first six overs. However, wickets fell at regular intervals as the innings progressed, with Nibir Deka (21), Rishav Das (9) and Mahmood Habib Ullah (15) all getting starts but failing to make them count.

They soon stumbled to 180/7 in the 17th over before a late rescue act from the lower order helped them seal the deal. Gunjan Jyoti Deka held his nerve, remaining unbeaten on 38 off 24 balls, and found an able partner in Mrinmoy Dutta, who struck an unbeaten 16 off 10 balls.

Guru Randhawa donates Rs 7 lakhs to build 35 flood-proof homes in Assam
Punjabi singer and songwriter Guru Randhawa has expanded his humanitarian efforts to support families severely affected by the Assam floods. The singer has partnered with the Sikh Aid Foundation to contribute Rs 7 lakhs towards the construction of 35 permanent, flood-proof homes for affected families in Sivasagar, Jorhat and Nepali Khuti regions of Upper Assam. With the initiative, Randhawa has joined a growing group of public figures who have extended support to relief and rehabilitation efforts in Assam. Bollywood stars Salman Khan and Randeep Hooda, along with digital creators Fukra Insaan and Triggered Insaan, are also among those who have contributed to efforts aimed at assisting communities in some of the worst-hit areas. This is not Randhawas first contribution to the Assam flood relief campaign. Earlier, the singer donated Rs 5 lakhs to the Hello Life Foundation. The contribution was facilitated by digital creator Dimpu Baruah and was used to provide immediate assistance, including food, clothing, medical supplies and other basic necessities to displaced families. His latest contribution, however, goes beyond immediate relief. By supporting the construction of elevated and climate-resilient homes, Randhawa is helping affected families move towards long-term safety and stability. The permanent housing initiative is aimed at providing stronger protection against the recurring threat of floods.

During the devastating floods in Punjab, he established specialized relief camps in Dera Baba Nanak and Dharowali. His team also personally funded the reconstruction of damaged homes, supplied essential cattle feed and distributed premium wheat seeds to flood-affected farmers, helping them rebuild their agricultural livelihoods. His philanthropic efforts also extend to the COVID-19 pandemic. At a time when the country was facing an unprecedented healthcare crisis, Randhawa was among the early public figures to contribute, donating Rs 20 lakhs from his personal savings to the PM-CARES Fund to support critical healthcare infrastructure. Through his latest Assam initiative, Guru Randhawa continues to combine immediate humanitarian assistance with long-term rehabilitation efforts.

Assam Premier League: Guwahati Royals produced a brilliant performance as they chased down 122 to prevail against Dibrugarh Warriors by five wickets in the Assam Premier League (APL) 2026 at the ACA Stadium, Guwahati on Monday. With this win, Royals moved to the top of the table. Rohit Sen's aggressive batting performance set the platform for the chase, before a superb cameo from Nibir Deka handed Warriors their first loss of the season. Earlier, Bastab Roy, Mrinmoy Dutta, Nipan Deka and Deepak Gohain all picked up a couple of wickets each to bundle out Warriors for 121. Having won the toss and opted to field, Royals ran riot to reduce Warriors to 20/3 inside five overs as Parvej Musaraf, Ronit Akhtar and Ayush Agarwal succumbed early. Skipper Saahil Jain fell soon after, leaving the Warriors in further trouble at 37/4. Jay Borah and Jitumoni Kalita then combined for a 54-run stand for the fifth wicket to steady the innings, with Kalita striking 39 off 29 balls and Borah contributing 32 off 38. However, Warriors lost their last five wickets for just 30 runs as the innings fell away in the closing overs. With that staggering collapse, they were eventually bowled out for 121 in 19 overs. In response, Guwahati Royals suffered an early wobble, losing Sanjay Kumar Singh, skipper Rishav Das and Bishal Sarma inside the first four overs. With his side reeling at 19/3, Rohit took charge, combining with Nibir in a 60-run stand for the fourth wicket to steady the chase. Sen struck a rapid 46 off 29 balls with seven fours before being dismissed by Sidhartha Sankar Baruah. Nibir then anchored the innings from thereon, remaining unbeaten on 40 off 28 balls, and found support from Nipan Deka, who struck an unbeaten 12 off 12. Doikho Das kept the chase interesting for Warriors with figures of 3/20, but Royals ensured there were no further hiccups as they chased down 122 in 16.1 overs to complete a five-wicket win. Brief scores: Dibrugarh Warriors: 121/10 in 19 overs (Jitumoni Kalita 39, Jay Borah 32; Bastab Roy 2/16, Nipan Deka 2/14, Deepak Gohain 2/23).
