PBKS haven't Achieved Their Goal Yet, We Must Cross The Finish Line This Time: Suryansh Shedge
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Punjab Kings batting all-rounder Suryansh Shedge said the franchise hasnt achieved its goal yet of winning the title after becoming runners-up in IPL 2025, adding that the squad heads into the upcoming season with unfinished business firmly on their minds. PBKS reached only its second IPL final in 2025 but fell short by six runs to eventual champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Ahmedabad. We haven't achieved our goal yet. So I think we'll go in with the same mindset again this year. I think all of us talked to each other in some way or the other and brought that topic up. Directly nahi hoi wo baat (The talk didnt happen directly). But I think all of us have spoken to each other about the fact that we just fell short and how we have to cross the finish line this time, Shedge told IANS in an exclusive conversation, facilitated by JSW Sports. Shedge, who had five IPL appearances in the 2025 season (though he didnt get to post any noteworthy performance, wasted no time since the season ended. Playing domestic games for Mumbai in both senior and U23 teams has kept him sharp. It's like in the last month, I've played about three to four red-ball matches. So I'm trying to sneak in a lot of wide-ball sessions also in between. It's working well for now, but the preps started last year after the IPL ended, so I don't think I have to rush anything. It's like a process, so I think it's on the right track. Aside from being in a thriving PBKS atmosphere, Shedge had a memorable moment when he met his childhood idol Virat Kohli. From looking at him playing on the screen to sharing the ground with him, it was surreal and unbelievable a few times. But I think watching him go about his business, even in practice sessions, I learnt a lot about how professional he is and the energy he brings. But the first time when I met him, when I was shaking his hand, I couldn't believe it. I was jittery and had goosebumps because he's been my idol since I started playing cricket. So it was a very, it was a huge moment for me personally, in terms of my cricketing career, because I always dreamt of playing alongside him, and I think let's keep it at that. The pre-season camp in Udaipur earlier this year also gave Shedge time to spend with fellow Mumbaikar and new spin bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule. So basically, I think we have a couple of guys who are new in the coaching staff. I know Sairaj sir really well because he's from Mumbai. It was really good to work with him in that camp. I had a lot of good interactions with him regarding my bowling and batting because he's been around the IPL circuit for a number of years now, and he has that experience in him. So it was great learning things from him. Secondly, because you meet your teammates after a year so I think it's good to have such camps because then you can rekindle and talk to your teammates and build that rapport with them again. Being in the high-pressure environment in the IPL gave tonnes of lessons to Shedge. I feel like controlling your emotions is one thing when you're playing a high-stakes game. It's like if your emotions go up and down, you might not perform at your best. So that's one thing I've learnt. Secondly, situational awareness I've always given 100 per cent to my team since I was a young child. But I hate losing so I think that final also taught us a lot as a team and me as an individual, he said. Though Shedge captained Mumbai on a tour of England and earned India A selection, Shedge said his internal preparation has been the real work in progress. I think life remains the same the preparations get tougher and you're a bit more hard on yourself because you can see that goal and that goal is in reach. You're so close yet so far. So I think you try to work harder, and I think it has helped me in that way. The acceptance part is accepting that you need to improve on something and these are your strengths; this is what you need to improve on. I think that has given me a lot of clarity of where I stand right now. The hyper, win-at-all-costs kid from Mumbai is being steadily replaced by steady patience, which Shedge said wasnt the case a few years ago. I don't think that was the case if you ask me two, three years back. I was always this hyper kid, and I've always wanted to win, as I said. So I didn't know how to control my emotions. I think once you grow up and you start to see what is working for you and what's not working for you, you try to inculcate some changes and work on the things that need to be worked on. I think accepting the fact that I need to work on something helped me a lot. Then, as soon as you notice something, you need to get to work asap. You can't just linger around and let it be for some other day. So I think getting things done in that instant has helped me a lot. I wouldn't say I'm a patient guy. There's a lot of scope of improvement right now, but I think I'm on the path to becoming a patient human being. Much of PBKS unlikely run to the final last year, Shedge believes, was built on a dressing room environment created by Ricky Ponting and captain Shreyas Iyer who share a good rapport from their Delhi Capitals days. When everyone on the team comes together and has one similar goal, beautiful things happen. Since we started getting together for camps before last year's IPL, I think the goal was pretty clear. When you have a support staff that is for the players, they want to support the players, and I think it makes a huge difference. The relationship of Ricky sir and Shreyas bhai also I think they go way back during the Delhi Capitals time also. So I think that helped us because they were familiar with each other and they were more often than not on the same page. The environment always was light because Arshdeep (Singh) paaji was also there. He likes having a few laughs, and it was always a good time. So that's why we did really well. For Shedge, who shot into the limelight by being a vital cog in Mumbai winning the 2024/25 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he ended the recent domestic season without silverware and was candid about how he fared in it. Our goal was to lift all the three trophies, but that couldn't happen. Nevertheless, I think we performed very well as a group. Sometimes things just don't click so it's like it was one of those years. Everyone was on the same page and was working hard. There were a lot of contributions from each and every individual in different games. But sometimes it just doesn't happen. So now we know what we need to improve on, and we can go in better prepared for next season. Personally for me also, I feel like in whatever opportunities I got, I could have done better. So as I said, the acceptance part, and that's how we grow. I wouldn't call it losing or failing. We were just learning as a group and I as an individual. Everyone was on the same page and was working hard. There were a lot of contributions from each and every individual in different games. But sometimes it just doesn't happen. So now we know what we need to improve on, and we can go in better prepared for next season. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Then, making an impact, contributing to my team's victory has always been very important, and I think I'll try to do that this year. In whichever way I can help my team, I'll try to help them, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

Mens T20 World Cup Champions India Set To Play A Series Against Ireland In June
ICC Future Tours Programme: Mens T20 World Cup holders India will play a series against Ireland in June ahead of their white-ball tour of England, confirmed Graeme West, Director of High Performance at Cricket Ireland. The series is not part of the ICC Future Tours Programme (FTP), but it will serve as a warm-up for the England tour for India, where they will play five T20Is in Chester-le-Street, Manchester, Nottingham, Bristol, and Southampton, apart from three ODIs. India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, clinched the Mens T20 World Cup 2026 on home soil for a record third time earlier this month with a commanding 96-run win over New Zealand in a one-sided final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. West confirmed the fixtures while announcing that veteran batter Paul Stirling had stepped down as T20I captain following the teams disappointing campaign at the World Cup, ending in a group stage exit. Paul has been an outstanding leader, combining his wealth of playing experience with exceptional man-management skills. He will continue to captain the ODI squad with the initial goal to successfully navigate qualification and lead the team in the ICC Mens Cricket World Cup next October-November. With qualification secured for the T20 World Cup in 2028, Pauls decision to stand down as T20 captain provides the opportunity for the new captain to begin implementing their style and methodology, starting with the India Series in June, he said.

Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Ashutosh Sharma does not think theres been any major transition in his playing career, but the right-handed batter firmly believes that visualisation and constant practice will fetch him more success when the pressure is high on him as a finisher for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026. There is no such transition. I am enjoying playing cricket and enjoying playing with DC. I am having loads of fun while playing. The only difference is that in the first year, I was new. In the second year, the expectations of the team and everyone increase. So, there is a bit of pressure, but I am enjoying playing under pressure, Ashutosh, who hails from Ratlam in Madhya Pradesh, told IANS in an exclusive conversation ahead of IPL 2026 starting on March 29. After bursting onto the IPL scene with sizzling cameos for Punjab Kings in 2024, Sharma spent the 2025 season building his reputation as a finisher at DC -- scoring 204 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 161. All of that began with an unbeaten 66 against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), the side DC will face in Lucknow on April 1, as Ashutosh announced himself as a finisher of genuine quality. That innings, he says, was the product of a problem he identified and then quietly fixed. When I was playing for Punjab in the first year, I couldn't finish a lot of matches. I could finish only in very few games. After that year, I did an analysis and found that I am lacking in certain areas in this department. I then started applying those changes in domestic cricket games, like I have to finish the match and then come back to the dugout. Then, when I came to Delhi, I applied it there too, he said. The statistics bring out the value Ashutosh adds in the closing stages of IPL. He has batted predominantly in the final four overs of IPL innings, striking at 188 in that phase -- hitting a boundary on an average of every four balls and smashing 15 sixes. His numbers in chases are particularly striking: an average of 37.3 and a strike rate of 171, compared to 18.9 and 152 when batting first. DCs ongoing pre-season camps, which include simulated match scenarios, along with turning out for Railways in domestic cricket, have also honed Ashutoshs finishing skills. We play domestic cricket, so we get to learn a lot from it. I have just worked there, and when I was playing there, it was in my mind that I had to stay there till the end. I was applying there also, and this is it. We do the same planning in our pre-season camps - like we practice how to finish games. So, we still play matches in the camp, and that's the practice for me in how I have to finish. I am given that situation there -- like which situation will come in the actual match. So, by doing all that, you apply it in the match, and many times it is very much possible that it will happen that way, he said. The mental side of finishing, he adds, comes down to visualisation, something which many players do consistently. My mental preparation is that I visualise what situation is coming. So, I visualise this situation in front of me, and how do I get out of this situation? So, the key point is visualisation. Aside from the success he gets as a finisher, Ashutosh has issues to sort out against slow left-arm orthodox bowlers, who have dismissed him four times in six innings with a strike rate of just 75 in that matchup. In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025/26, Ashutosh scored 117 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 170 thus showing that his attacking instincts remain sharp, despite having three single-digit scores. Among the various influences Ashutosh encountered at DC, Kevin Pietersen - the franchise's mentor in 2025 - left a lasting impression on him. From KP, I just got to learn about hard work. Like I had asked, you have made so many runs in such big matches - so, what did you do? How did you get consistency? So, he just said that you believe in your ability, believe in your hard work. So, I got to learn all these things. Pietersen will not be in the dugout for IPL 2026, but Ashutosh didnt seem much bothered. No, it's a professional game - like today someone is there or in the future, they are not present. So it's normal in cricket. Outside of DC, Ashutosh is constantly guided by former Indian batter and long-time mentor Amay Khurasiya. We do talk. Like, whenever I doubt anything, apart from cricket also, I ask him, 'Sir, what can I do now? What has to be done?' So, yes, we talk to each other. DC finished outside the playoffs in 2025 despite a promising start, and Ashutosh promised the Axar Patel-led side would do everything to dish out dominating performances. The preparation is going well. We are well planned and well prepared, and we are not thinking about last year. It's a fresh start, and we are thinking that we have to dominate and enjoy cricket. All the young players will express themselves in the game. That's what we are thinking. After IPL 2025, Ashutosh took an unusual detour, which showcased his love for playing cricket. A stint at Wigan CC for the 2025 Liverpool and District Cricket Competition began with him hitting a 70-ball century after arriving in England on the morning of the game, following a visa mix-up. I love playing cricket a lot. So, I took a rest, and then I went there. I had an issue related to a flight (to reach Manchester). So, I went there and played the match directly. I enjoyed that moment also. Ashutosh comes on the back of being with India 'A' team for the Rising Asia Cup and T20 World Cup warm-up games, and receiving a call-up for it is still etched in his memory. Since childhood, every player's dream is to wear the India jersey. It was one of the best moments of my life. I got to learn a lot in terms of how the pressure of playing for the country is. The differences between playing for the country and the IPL are that the pressure of representing the country is a little different. So I got to learn all of this there. Life in IPL is very hectic for players - ad shoots, social media commitments, and media appearances - have become a routine part of the calendar. Ashutosh acknowledged that the DC think-tank have managed things well for him. Of course, it is a little tough because practice and shoots are around. But our team management is such that they balance out everything. They know that we don't have to focus on these things for a long time. Life in IPL is very hectic for players - ad shoots, social media commitments, and media appearances - have become a routine part of the calendar.

Consumer AI Startup Primetrace Hits INR 200 Cr EBITDA Run Rate
Records INR 550 Cr ARR with 50x growth in three years, delivering a rare profitability story in India’s consumer app market. Primetrace’s portfolio of AI apps crossed 350 million cumulative downloads by focusing on what actually matters: product retention and obsessive user engagement. Builds AI-first products for Bharat from the ground up using proprietary datasets and custom model training. Primetrace, India’s leading AI-first consumer startup, announced it has scaled to a INR 550 Cr Annual Revenue Run Rate (ARR) with INR 200 Cr EBITDA run rate as of February 2026. This marks a rare profitability milestone in India's consumer app ecosystem that runs on high cash burn, vanity metrics and broken unit economics. 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. Primetrace is powered by a proprietary AI infrastructure built specifically for the Indian market. Rather than relying on standard third-party solutions, the company engineers true AI-first products for Bharat using custom model training and proprietary datasets. Primetrace has built an intelligence layer that deeply understands the needs and preferences of Bharat users. The company has also received industry recognition for the scale of its technology adoption. OpenAI recognised Primetrace for surpassing 10 billion tokens in usage, while the company ranks among the top service users of Google AI in India. Primetrace had earlier raised $30 million in funding from Tiger Global and Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia Capital India), providing the foundation for building and scaling its AI-driven consumer app ecosystem. 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. Driven by a dedicated internal research and development team, the company is constantly exploring new high-utility categories across the digital ecosystem. Their long-term mission is singular and focused: to build the native AI products that powers daily lives of Bharat.

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.

Meta's latest creator push comes with $3,000 bonuses for posting on Facebook
Stop me if you've heard this before: Meta has a new program to lure top creator talent to Facebook and it comes with hefty bonus payments. The company is launching a new initiative aimed at popular creators who already have large followings on TikTok, YouTube or Instagram and offering them bonuses up to $3,000 a month just for posting on Facebook. Meta's goal is to draw more top talent to its Content Monetization program, which pays creators based on views and other engagement metrics across Stories, Reels and posts. The new bonuses will be part of an initiative Meta has dubbed Creator Fast Track , which is meant to make the onboarding process easier and more enticing to Facebook newcomers. Under the new Fast Track program, Meta is offering monthly bonuses of $1,000 to creators who have at least 100,000 followers on another platform and $3,000 for those that have a million or more. Creators who join will need to post a minimum number of times per month to earn the bonuses, but aren't required to meet engagement targets or post exclusive content to earn. They also aren't require to post video content as Facebook also reward text and photo posts, as well as Stories . That may sound like a pretty good deal (it is), but it's also a limited one. The fast track bonuses will only last for three months. Creators should think of the bonuses as payment for the hassle of starting on a new platform, not the central part of the program, Meta's VP of Product for Creators, Yair Livne, tells Engadget. Our hope is that within a few months the earnings that you see from Facebook Content Monetization will become the more important thing. He also notes that Meta will boost the reach of creators it fast-tracks, which should help them speed up their earning potential. It's far from the first time Facebook has sought to lure big names with big checks. It promised publishers big payouts when it launched Facebook Watch nearly a decade ago. It once courted game streamers for its (now defunct) Twitch competitor. A year after launching Reels to take on TikTok, it invested $1 billion in a bonus program that offered creators as much as $35,000 a month only to pull the plug in 2023. Livne acknowledged that it took us a long time to find our path to a more sustainable creator program. We don't have a pool structure so you're not competing with other creators for dollars. It really is based on your performance. There are already signs that the Facebook Content Monetization program, which it introduced in the fall of 2024, is working at least for some. Meta says it paid Facebook creators nearly $3 billion in 2025, a new high for the social network. Creators have also reported that the new streamlined program is paying off. One political news creator told the newsletter Chaotic Era that they made $250,000 from Facebook in January alone. Publishers told Digiday last year that they expected to make between six and seven figures in 2025 thanks to the program. There are numerous recent posts in Reddit's r/passiveincome forum where users report making five figures a month from the program, which is still invitation only. Livne agrees that Facebook's monetization program has been something of a well kept secret in the creator community. We're trying to make it less well kept and less of a secret. Are you in Facebook's Content Monetization Program, Creator Fast Track or another creator program at Meta? You can reach Karissa by email , on X , Bluesky , Threads , or send a message to @karissabe.51 to chat confidentially on Signal.

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.

Everyone knows Shane Watson as a player, but I've known him as someone who's played under him as a player. I'm really, really happy, Watto, to have you with us. 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. 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.

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.

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.
