'Experience Helps A Lot': Purple Cap Holder Deepak Gohain Reflects On Guwahati Royals Top Spot
Assam Premier League: Purple Cap holder Deepak Gohain credited his experience for adapting to different conditions after his heroics with the ball helped Guwahati Royals beat Dibrugarh Warriors and reach the top of the Assam Premier League (APL) 2026 Points table on Monday. Gohain has been one of the standout performers with the ball in the tournament and currently leads the bowling charts with 12 wickets from five matches. The left-arm spinner has an economy rate of exactly 5.00 and an average of 8.33, with best figures of 3/11. Experience helps a lot. When you are playing a big tournament like this, the experience is useful in match situations. You can understand how to bowl on which wicket, how to bowl to which batsman, and that helps the team as well, Gohain said, reflecting on his consistency. For Gohain, the victory over Dibrugarh Warriors was particularly significant as the Royals had never previously beaten the side. It's been a big boost for the team. We executed our plans in this contest, and we've been focusing on doing the basics right. That helped us get the win against Dibrugarh, he said. The 33-year-old also explained the approach that has helped him make an impact with the ball, pointing to variation and accuracy as key elements of his bowling. 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, he said. The one thing that has worked consistently for me is cramping the batters for room to get the better of them. Gohain also credited the collective effort of the Royals, who have won four of their five matches and are now firmly in contention for the title. The team's performance has been really good. We have won 4 out of 5 matches now. So, the morale of the team is high. Our aim is to build on this and keep winning matches, he said. The spinner further praised the coaching staff for maintaining a calm environment in the dressing room, allowing players to focus on their individual roles without feeling unnecessary pressure. Our coach is doing a brilliant job to ensure that the dugout always remains calm. That enables the players to play more freely and focus on what their role is. So, as players, we just focus on that, he said. The result took Guwahati Royals to eight points from five matches, with the side edging Dibrugarh Warriors on Net Run Rate at the top of the standings. Both teams have now registered four wins from five matches. Our coach is doing a brilliant job to ensure that the dugout always remains calm. That enables the players to play more freely and focus on what their role is. So, as players, we just focus on that, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score We are taking it one match at a time.

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).

Assam Premier League: Opener Erik Roy smashed a breathtaking unbeaten 94 as Jorhat Stallions registered a dominant nine-wicket victory over Tezpur Titans in the 2026 Assam Premier League (APL) clash at the ACA Stadium on Monday. Chasing a target of 161, Stallions reached home in 18.1 overs to secure their second win of the tournament and climb to fourth place on the points table. Roy dismantled the Titans' bowling attack during his 59-ball knock, laced with 10 boundaries and five sixes, and recorded the second-highest individual score of the tournament so far. Roy shared strong partnerships at the top of the order to make the run chase a stroll in the park. Rajveer Singh contributed a steady 30 off 32 balls, while Swarupam Purkayastha smashed a quick-fire unbeaten 34 off 20 deliveries to take Stallions over the line with 11 balls to spare. Earlier, Tezpur Titans posted 160/6 after electing to bat first. They suffered an early blow when opener Wasim Akram Haque was run out in the powerplay. Avijit Singha Roy stabilised the innings with a 35-ball 39, and was supported by Nihar Deka (16). Middle-order batters Roshan Topno and Dharani Rabha both reached double digits but fell to medium-pacer Hridip Deka, who was the pick of the Stallions' bowlers with figures of 3-25. Abhilash Gogoi and Rajjak Uddin Ahmed also chipped in with a wicket each. A late flourish from Danish Ahmed, who blasted an unbeaten 36 off just 15 balls with four sixes, alongside captain Ayushman Malakar's nine-ball 18, helped the Titans reach a competitive total.

Guru Randhawa responds to backlash over Fine Shyt: Its just a silly little slang
Singer Guru Randhawa has addressed the criticism surrounding his latest song Fine Shyt, which has been receiving mixed reactions online. The track, released on August 6, became a topic of discussion on social media, with several users trolling the singer over its title and questioning what theyFdescribed as its cringe lyrics. Responding to the online backlash, Guru took to Instagram on Monday and appeared to take the criticism in a light-hearted manner. Sharing his reaction to the edits and comments surrounding the song, he wrote, Guilty as charged of making songs that repeat in your head forever. Low-key loving the edits though. No bad vibes! It's just a silly little slang calm down calm down calm down fam. While the singer directly addressed the criticism online, he did not appear to mention the controversy during his visit to the Golden Temple in Amritsar.

When Baba Nanak holds someone's hand, they only keep moving forward. His message reflected the idea that challenges cannot overpower someone who has divine support and that faith can help a person continue moving ahead despite obstacles. Fine Shyt features vocals by Guru Randhawa and Yashvi Desai. The music video stars Guru alongside Ruhee Dosani, Divinity Bisht, Arshia Sinha, Raema Grover, Darlene Laura and Mehar Kaur. The video opens with a disclaimer stating that everyone appearing in it is above 18 and that the storyline is entirely fictional. It also features a humorous warning asking viewers not to imitate the dance moves at their workplace, joking that doing so could potentially result in trouble with HR. With his latest response, Guru has made it clear that he is not taking the social media backlash too seriously and views the songs controversial phrase as nothing more than slang.

APL: Soumyadeep, Sumit Smash Unbeaten Fifties As Nagaon Rangers Register Maiden Win In Style
Assam Premier League: Nagaon Rangers registered their first win of the tournament courtesy a commanding batting display to beat Charaideo Sunrisers by ten wickets in match number 18 of the Assam Premier League 2026 at the ACA Stadium, Guwahati on Sunday. Soumyadeep Das and Sumit Kashyap put on an exquisite batting performance to see their side home and also register the tournament's first ten-wicket win. With the ball, Bhargav Dutta led a disciplined effort with three wickets to restrict Sunrisers after Hrishikesh Tamuli's fighting knock. Opting to field first, Nagaon Rangers struck early, removing Pradyun Saikia off the second ball of the contest. Sumit Ghadigaonkar fell soon after for 8, leaving Charaideo Sunrisers in a spot of bother at 32/2 inside the powerplay. Hrishikesh then held the innings together with a well-made 40 off 36 balls, keeping the scoreboard ticking despite wickets falling around him. A late flourish from Himanshu Saraswat, who scored an unbeaten on 26 off just 13 balls with three sixes, helped Charaideo Sunrisers post 139/9 in their 20 overs. For Rangers, Bhargav Dutta finished with 3/18, while Rahul Singh, Sunil Lachit and Jitu Ali picked up two wickets apiece.
