Sangakkara explained his inclusive approach to coaching, where every player can speak about their concerns and give suggestions. According to the coach, the preparation camp gives a better opportunity to the team management and the players to know each other and work towards a common goal. Okay, guys, some of us have been here before, some for many years, some for one year, some of you are new, right? So first things first, it's a great opportunity to just start talking to each other and getting to know each other, right? That's how we start into a season. Number two is to ease yourself into practice, right? We'll introduce ourselves one-on-one tomorrow, but talk to the coaches, tell us what you need, we will tell you what you need or what we need from you, not what you need, but what we need from you, Sangakkara said in a video released by Rajasthan Royals on X. It's always a nice collaboration, it's a partnership, right? That's how we all do things, okay? I like a relaxed attitude, I like people having fun, I like people talking, smiling, but when you're doing work, remember we all need to get something out of the time we're here, he added. Former Sri Lankan batter advised the team to use the practice time smartly and also remained hopeful for an amazing season with a team having some new faces. Use it smartly; you don't need to practice too long, you don't need to be too short, you need to be right so that everyone gets what they want and what they need, but it's really great to see you, he said. I look forward to a wonderful season. I look forward to getting to know all of you, and we're going to be a tight, tight group. Okay, that's all I have, man, Sangakkara concluded. Use it smartly; you don't need to practice too long, you don't need to be too short, you need to be right so that everyone gets what they want and what they need, but it's really great to see you, he said.

Primetrace has delivered 50x revenue growth over three years — building its growth on real user needs, deep engagement, and strong retention. Primetrace Team: Naveen Dewangan, Co-founder, Tech; Abhishek Kejriwal, Founder & CEO; Vipul Allawadhi, Co-founder & CPO; Mohit Sharma, Co-founder, Tech Primetrace operates a ‘house of apps’ model, identifying large consumer opportunities to build AI-native products around everyday use cases. The company focuses on retention and proven engagement before scaling distribution through a subscription-based monetization strategy. The company’s product portfolio includes Kutumb (a community platform used by 2 Lakh communities), Crafto AI (AI-powered content creation app used by 200M users), Tarot AI (AI-powered personalised tarot readings), Polo (an inclusive dating platform), and Sundar AI (an AI-powered image enhancement platform). Each of the apps are the most downloaded in their respective categories – with cumulative downloads exceeding 350 million.

Talking about the company’s approach to building and scaling consumer products in India, Abhishek Kejriwal, Founder and CEO, Primetrace , said, “ India's consumer AI opportunity is massive and largely uncaptured. Over the next decade, AI will transform every digital touchpoint for a billion Bharat users — how they learn, earn, communicate, and make decisions. Primetrace is here to lead that transformation. Our greatest strength is the deep, real-world understanding of daily user behavior we've gained through our proprietary dataset across our suite of products. This is the right time, this is the right market, and we have the right playbook. Our goal is clear: to build AI-powered apps that empower one billion Bharat users every single day. ” Looking ahead, Primetrace is actively expanding its suite of AI-native applications to solve everyday needs for Indian consumers.

Senator Blackburn introduces the first draft of a federal AI bill
The White House has been promising a set of national rules to guide artificial intelligence since late last year, and today Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) fired the first volley. The senator shared a discussion draft for codifying the executive order signed by President Donald Trump in December calling for an AI bill. Her stated goal is a policy that protects children, creators, conservatives and communities from harm. Blackburn has called for tougher policies for AI safety, and one of the core messages in this discussion draft is that it places a duty of care on AI developers in the design, development and operation of AI platforms to prevent and mitigate foreseeable harm to users. It also draws a line on the many copyright infringement questions raised by creative industries: an AI model's unauthorized reproduction, copying, or processing of copyrighted works for the purpose of training, fine-tuning, developing, or creating AI does not constitute fair use under the Copyright Act. Some of the other notable provisions are: Requires covered online platforms, including social media platforms, to implement tools and safeguards to protect users under the age of 17 against online harms. Protects the voice and visual likenesses of individuals and creators from the proliferation of digital replicas without their consent. Sets new federal transparency guidelines for marking, authenticating and detecting AI-generated content. Requires certain companies and federal agencies to issue reports on AI-related job effects, including layoffs and job displacement to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) on a quarterly basis. It includes ending Section 230, marking the latest attempt to retire a law that has been questioned as a possible loophole for AI companies to escape liability when their tools cause harm. While AI critics might see positive signs here, remember that this is just the initial version of the framework. Lawmakers will likely spend a lot of time negotiating over the eventual result, which may be notably de-fanged from its current state. It could wind up with a lot more requirements echoing this Republican complaint: Combats the consistent pattern of bias against conservative figures demonstrated by AI systems by requiring third-party audits to prevent discrimination based on political affiliation. Despite the claims of suppression and censorship, weve consistently seen this conservative argument to be false or at the very least misleading.

Amazon will reportedly cut its USPS shipments by at least two-thirds
A recent change in how the US Postal Service handles shipping partners appears to have forced Amazon to make alternative plans. The company reportedly plans to cut the number of packages it ships through USPS by at least two-thirds later this year. It says the decision came after USPS ended negotiations at the eleventh hour in favor of a new bidding process. On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Amazon plans to reduce the shipments it hands off to USPS. Last year, the company accounted for nearly 15 percent of the Postal Services package deliveries. Cutting that by nearly two-thirds diminishes one of the USPSs most reliable sources of revenue. In fiscal 2025, the agency reported a net loss of $9 billion. Amazons current contract with USPS ends on September 30. In a public response to the WSJ story, the company said it notified USPS in October 2025 that it would need to complete a new deal by December. You can't add capacity for hundreds of millions of packages overnight it requires major capital investment, long-term infrastructure planning, hiring, and logistics coordination, Amazon wrote. According to Amazon, USPS then pulled the plug on negotiations at the last second. We negotiated with [USPS] in good faith for more than a year to reach a deal that would bring them billions in revenue and believed we were heading toward an agreement, Amazon wrote in a statement. Our goal was to increase our volumes with USPS, not reduce them until USPS abruptly walked away at the eleventh hour in December. Postmaster General David Steiner (AP Photo/Cliff Owen, File) ASSOCIATED PRESS Thats when Postmaster General David Steiner implemented a new bidding process for last-mile deliveries, replacing a long-established one where USPS negotiated with shipping partners individually. He described the move as a fair bidding process that enables the marketplace to find the best mix of local shipping attributes for the best volume-driven pricing. Steiner was appointed to the post in May 2025, following the departure of former head Louis DeJoy. Amazon said it submitted a bid in February using the new system but hasnt heard back. This creates significant uncertainty for our long-term network planning, the company said. Despite this, we participated in good faith and submitted a bid in February 2026. We've received no response. USPS plans to announce the bidding results in Q2 2026. Contracts are expected to be finalized by Q3. Despite apparently moving forward with the contingency plan, Amazon said its still ready to continue this partnership. As for Postmaster Steiner, he spent Tuesday asking Congress to loosen USPS regulations and let him raise prices. Warning that the agency will run out of cash in about a year, he told a House subcommittee that he wants to raise the agencys current $15 billion debt cap. He also asked for the ability to increase postage prices and reform its retiree pension obligations.

I'm just going to leave you all with one message before the whole group arrives. We have prepared a lot, we have worked on our skills in the past couple of months. We have had a lot of discussions; we have spoken a lot. For me, what happens year on is how we tune whats between our ears. The skill is there, that's not going to change in the next 10 days. But what changes is our mentality. So every moment that we spend on this ground, every moment we spend with each other, with the coaches, amongst ourselves, there's one goal. We have to do one thing, we have to win, we have to get that fourth star and we do everything to prepare our minds before our body actually arrives at the first game on the 29th. We prepare here, we use this time to talk to each other, communicate, get stronger as a group. So we're ready for everything. Have a lot of fun, said Nayar in a video posted by KKR Knight Club.

I think you've been a terrific addition, even in this small period that I've interacted with you. Tap into his experience, you will learn a lot. We've had a lot of good coaches, but I'm pretty sure that Shane Watson is going to add a lot of value to us. So, Watto, welcome to the KKR family. I tend to miss a lot of names, but I think the second addition to our family is Mr. Dishant Yagnik, a ball of energy. A lot of you all know him domestically, but I'm sure his energy and his love and passion is something that will come across for us. So, welcome, Yagi. We've got (Manvinder) Bisla and Biju (George) here who are our head of scouting and our scouting team, they're here to help us in the phase building up. On Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani, Nayar said, Blessing, you are a blessing in disguise for us. I know so far we've sort of folded you in the bus, but it's great to have you, the tallest member ever to be part of this KKR team. So welcome, I hope you have a great time with us and you enjoy the company of our boys. I tend to miss a lot of names, but I think the second addition to our family is Mr. Dishant Yagnik, a ball of energy.

Lifting U19 Womens T20 WC Trophy For Second Time Felt Quite Special, Says Niki Prasad
U19 T20 World Cup: Niki Prasad says lifting the ICC Women's U19 T20 World Cup trophy for the second time as the sides captain - was an experience like no other and that has only sharpened her hunger to keep winning more titles for India in future. The 2025 U19 Womens T20 World Cup winning team was among the five champion sides felicitated by the BCCI at the recent annual awards in New Delhi on Sunday. All members and coaches received special medals from former players Sudha Shah and Shubhangi Kulkarni. I think that day was pretty special for all of us. Every kid dreams to play for India and for me it was playing for India U19 and also leading. So I think lifting the trophy for the second time felt quite special. Now as I look back at it, of course it's a really memorable day. Even coming over here, I was really excited to be around all the legends. So it was a pretty exciting day, said Niki in a video posted by the BCCI on their X account on Wednesday. With India winning the Women's ODI World Cup, Mens Champions Trophy, Mens U19 World Cup and Mens T20 World Cup, Niki said seeing the trophies won by India filled her with immense pride. Firstly I think I take pride in being Indian and I'm really proud to be Indian. Also I think it's really a very memorable and happy moment to be, not just sharing the U19 World Cup trophy with my own teammates, but also being part of the same calendar year, being part of seeing the women's team lifting the World Cup and then the men's one. So I think as an Indian and as a cricketer, I think it's a really proud moment for me, especially in this calendar year. Niki was keen to acknowledge that the BCCIs sustained investment in youth cricket is a key driver of that success. I think the BCCI plays a major role in the growth of the Indian team and also the future. They've put a lot of vision and a lot of investment in the youth. So I think that is obviously going to pay off and we've already done that in both men's and women's. It's really important to have that kind of support from the BCCI. I think we're just going to keep growing from here on. With Niki plying her trade for Delhi Capitals in WPL and Karnataka in domestic cricket, she said her aim is to get more trophies when she enters the senior team. For me, it's not just about playing for India, but it's about lifting the trophy again and again for India. So that's my ultimate goal for India. I think my first thought is going to be that we have one common thing - that all of us have one ICC trophy. She further talked about how she would chat with senior team captain Harmanpreet Kaur. Also I think the interaction was going to be quite interesting for me. To just ask about how their experience has been after winning in the T20s and the ODIs. So I think I would probably ask how they must have been feeling. With Niki plying her trade for Delhi Capitals in WPL and Karnataka in domestic cricket, she said her aim is to get more trophies when she enters the senior team. For me, it's not just about playing for India, but it's about lifting the trophy again and again for India. So that's my ultimate goal for India. I think my first thought is going to be that we have one common thing - that all of us have one ICC trophy.

Through its market entry and expansion expertise, IME played a key role in bringing this globally recognized assistive technology to India, enabling schools, healthcare institutions, and education partners to adopt a solution that addresses both academic continuity and emotional well-being among students who are unable to be physically present in school. Commenting on the launch, Dhiraj Trakru, Founder & CEO, India Market Entry (IME) , said, “When a child cannot attend school for an extended period, the biggest loss is often the sense of belonging.

Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Angkrish Raghuvanshi is well-aware the T20 game is rapidly evolving. Since entering the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) camp in their triumphant 2024 season, where he wowed everyone with his ramp, reverse-sweep and scoop shots to make 163 runs in ten matches, Raghuvanshi had a productive IPL 2025 making 300 runs in 12 games. With IPL 2026 now 10 days away, the element of surprise that served Raghuvanshi, who hit a rapid 54 off 27 balls on his tournament debut, so well will be replaced by something more demanding expectation of stepping up more frequently with the bat when the season begins. Ask Raghuvanshi about his goal heading into IPL 2026 and the answer from the soft-spoken right-handed batter is very simple. I think my mindset is still the same. It's always to win games for my team and it will always continue to be that. As for the role I'm asked to play, that I'll find out during this IPL and I will give my 100 percent for it. But my aim is to maintain my mindset and win as many games as I can for the team, said Raghuvanshi in an exclusive conversation with IANS, facilitated by JSW Sports. Life after IPL 2025 hasnt been straightforward for Raghuvanshi he was absent from Mumbais Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy campaign in the recent domestic season. But in the Vijay Hazare Trophy he underlined his worth, finishing as Mumbais second-highest run-scorer behind Sarfaraz Khan with 280 runs in seven outings. His red-ball opportunities with Mumbai have been scarce - just four first-class appearances so far and is coming off playing for the U23 team in the Col CK Nayudu Trophy. But Raghuvanshi, the leading run-getter in Indias 2022 U19 World Cup triumph, has nothing but gratitude for the chance to constantly play the sport he loves the most. I think I love this sport and I'm just grateful for the opportunity that I get to play this sport. So I don't take too much pressure on myself. I'm just enjoying the journey and trying to do as well as I can, he said. If there is one relationship that has shaped Raghuvanshis life and career, it is with Abhishek Nayar, who is taking charge as KKRs head coach after being in an assistant role for a long time. Raghuvanshi first encountered Nayar at his academy as an 11-year-old at Wilson College Gymkhana in Mumbai after coming from New Delhi and that bond has just gone stronger with every passing year. That famous post IPL 2024 trophy photograph with Nayar pinned on his Instagram profile says it all. It was a dream come true for me. I got an opportunity to practice at his academy and I'd been practicing there for a month. Then he showed up and he started coaching me. I guess he felt that I was dedicated and I wanted to learn as much as I could. He could see how much love I had for the sport. I guess he decided to take me on then. He's taught me how to be a better cricketer and a better person. Just everything I've learned in life, I've learned from him. So I think he's a great cricketing mind and a great person and we will have a great season under him, Raghuvanshi said. On the technical front, Nayar's influence shows up clearly in Raghuvanshi's willingness to play the usual and unorthodox shots that require both skill and nerve. The methodology behind it is straightforward, as per Raghuvanshi. It's because Abhishek sir makes me practice as hard as anyone can. His main motto is that if you practice very hard, put yourself under pressure in practice and you train as hard as you can, then matches become easy and that's what I also felt worked for me, he said. Ask Raghuvanshi on what is the secret behind the dynamic environment in KKR and he points not to the stars in the dressing room or coaching staff, but to the franchises academy that keeps players connected through the year. It's largely because of the KKR academy as well, because we practice with each other throughout the year. So I think when the tournament finally comes around, we all know each other very well. I think it's one of the environments where everyone wants each other to do well. It's a very rare environment and it's a great, amazing atmosphere to be a part of. Everyone's motivated and want to do well (this season). In every game we just try to do as well as we can. Every game we give it our all and obviously it's different outcomes for every game. But for every game, the mindset is the same - that is to try to help the team to win and whatever the team needs, he said. The biggest takeaway from Raghuvanshis IPL experiences has been about not stagnating as a player. My biggest learning is that everyone is growing and learning all the time, so you always have to improve. Every day you go out to play or go out to practice, you just always learn and try to get better because everyone around you is always getting better, he said. IPL 2026 will bring new international teammates for Raghuvanshi at KKR and he has already identified the people he wants to learn from a lot about cricket - Finn Allen, Rachin Ravindra and assistant coach Shane Watson are all on his radar. I'm just looking forward to working with every one of them so I can pick their brains as to how they go about their cricket and I can learn from them and get better. They've done well a lot of times and that's why they're one of the best players in the world, he said. Through all of this, the support structure at home remains a constant for Raghuvanshi his father Avneesh played tennis, while mother Mallika represented India in basketball. Add to it, his brother Krishang dabbled into professional tennis. I think my parents are both very supportive, and I can't thank them enough for it. I'm very grateful for it. They just know that I enjoy the sport and they motivate me to work hard and just continue loving the game, he said. Through all of this, the support structure at home remains a constant for Raghuvanshi his father Avneesh played tennis, while mother Mallika represented India in basketball. Add to it, his brother Krishang dabbled into professional tennis. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Time will tell if KKR, who still face questions over their fast-bowling resources, are able to bounce back after a subdued 2025 season. For now, the IPL spotlight on Raghuvanshi will become brighter if runs keep coming for him if he continues to follow his mantra of staying grounded, always improving, and helping KKR win matches.

Subnautica 2 might finally be entering early access in May
Subnautica 2 has weathered the storm and has rescheduled its early access release. IGN reported today that the sequel to the underwater survival game will begin early access on PC and Xbox in May, although a more specific date was not provided. The news comes a day after a judge ruled that former Unknown Worlds Entertainment CEO Ted Gill should be rehired at the game studio. That decision capped off a dramatic year for the team behind Subnautica , which was acquired by Krafton in 2021. The studio and its new owners entered a legal battle because the purchase of Unknown Worlds included a promise of an up to $250 million payout from Krafton if the team met certain performance goals by the end of 2025. In July of that year, however, Krafton fired several studio leaders and then delayed the sequel's early access launch. The court case has raised questions about which side was trying to either secure or avoid making that multi-million payment. With yesterday's ruling, a rep from Krafton said that we are evaluating our options as we determine our path forward. It's unclear if that path, or the other litigation still underway over the project, will create further delays to the planned early access date.

As an association, we believe recognition and encouragement are important in nurturing the next generation of talent. Rawal regarded the honour as a memorable milestone in her journey as a cricketer developed through Delhis system. It feels really good when you are recognised on such a big stage, especially by the DDCA and by Rohan sir. It is a very privileged moment for me. I have played a lot of cricket for Delhi, and this is a moment I will cherish for the rest of my life, Rawal said. Speaking about the impact such gestures can have on young players entering the system, she added, When you perform at your best, recognition follows naturally, so its intertwined. When you receive that recognition it motivates you to perform even better the next time. It becomes a cycle where you perform well, get recognised and then feel encouraged to keep improving. I believe this will motivate many youngsters coming into the system, both girls and boys. For Mohan, this recognition marked an important milestone early in his career. The young Delhi cricketer, a member of Indias 2025/26 Under-19 World Cup winning team, trains at the West Delhi Cricket Academy under the guidance of renowned coach Rajkumar Sharma, who also mentored Indian cricket star Virat Kohli during his early development. First of all I am very thankful to DDCA. This is very motivating for us as cricketers because when we know our association supports us and stands behind our goals it pushes us to do even better. It encourages me to keep improving, play better cricket and make my state and country proud. At the end of the day, every cricketer wants to grow and improve, and here we get access to quality facilities, the opportunity to train and play on some of the best grounds, and an environment where we can make full use of those resources. We practise hard and try to become better players, Mohan said. Reflecting on his journey through the Delhi system, he added, I have always played for Delhi. I was picked in the Under 16 team and since then I have represented Delhi in Under 16 and Under 19 cricket before being part of the India Under 19 World Cup squad. Delhi has a very strong selection system where players have to prove themselves consistently and that helps bring the best talent forward. First of all I am very thankful to DDCA.
