Kohli Urges Young Cricketers To 'work Behind The Scenes' To Make An 'impact On The Field'
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: After helping Royal Challengers Bengaluru defend their IPL crown, veteran batter Virat Kohli reflected on the evolution of his batting, the demands of modern T20 cricket and the lessons he hopes the next generation of Indian cricketers can take from his journey as he urged the up-and-coming cricketers to read the game well and play according to the demands and situation. Kohli, who played a pivotal role in RCB's title-winning game on Sunday against the Gujarat Titans and finished the season with another impressive run-scoring effort, said the key to longevity is continuous improvement and adapting to the changing nature of the game. The fact that I continue to play and compete, I want to keep improving and find areas in my game where I can make a difference and help the team score. That's always been my focus, Kohli said in a video shared by IPL. Kohli turned his attention to young cricketers, stressing that success is not solely about power-hitting but about understanding match situations and developing multiple ways to contribute. It's about understanding situations in the game. The preparation has to be such that you can play in 3-4 different ways. If the pitch gets tough, you should be able to hit boundaries and not just sixes. Even if that's not possible, you should be able to rotate, strike and stay in the game, he said. According to Kohli, the foundation for those solutions is laid long before match day, and the former India captain expressed his desire to pass on those lessons whenever younger players seek his guidance. For that, you need to do the work behind the scenes when you're not competing. That's probably the process to go about things when you want to make an impact on the field. Hopefully, whoever comes to have a chat with me, I can convey the same message with clarity. Keep the standard of Indian cricket high, he mentioned. He believes versatility is what separates good players from great ones, as he said, I try to prepare a well-rounded game and try to implement that as best as I can in every situation that I play. That's the only thing I urge the youngsters to understand. Play according to the situation and the demands of the game. If you stay with the situation of the game, you're always going to be able to find solutions. The veteran batter acknowledged that T20 cricket has undergone significant changes in recent years, forcing even established players to reassess their methods. The game is changing pretty rapidly. Just an opportunity for me to look at areas where I can get better. The explosive side of the game was something that needs to be taken care of nowadays. While known more for timing and placement than brute power, Kohli explained how he has adapted without straying from his strengths and also pointed to a statistic that reinforces his value to the team. I'm not a guy who will hit 40-50 sixes in a season, but I can hit 70-80 fours. I really worked on that aspect of my game. I'm going to hit the shots I can hit more often and take the bowlers on. That's always been my goal to be as consistent and impactful as possible. Feels good to know that when I play longer in the game, our success rate is 100% for the last two seasons. That gives me clarity as well that if I back for long enough in the game, our chances of winning improve significantly. Of course, it's a great feeling, the 37-year-old said. Looking back at RCB's title defence, Kohli said the champions entered the final with complete confidence in their abilities after dominating the league stage. That belief, he said, was built on months of consistent performances. I'm not a guy who will hit 40-50 sixes in a season, but I can hit 70-80 fours. I really worked on that aspect of my game. I'm going to hit the shots I can hit more often and take the bowlers on. That's always been my goal to be as consistent and impactful as possible. Feels good to know that when I play longer in the game, our success rate is 100% for the last two seasons. That gives me clarity as well that if I back for long enough in the game, our chances of winning improve significantly. Of course, it's a great feeling, the 37-year-old said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score And the league stage was a proof of that. We finished top of the league table and ended up getting to the finals before everyone else. And yeah, just very professional, very mature performance from the whole team throughout the season. And yeah, we just didn't have any doubts coming in today, Kohli expressed. Article Source: IANS

On Goa Statehood Day, the familiar sounds of guitars, Konkani rhythms, theatrical performances, and applause echoed through the auditorium at Galgotias University as students recreated fragments of Goa far away from its coastline. For a few hours, the campus moved away from routine academic schedules and turned into a cultural window into Goa’s music, traditions, stories, and artistic life. Goa’s history, music, traditions, and cultural spirit came alive at Galgotias University as students celebrated Goa Statehood Day through performances, storytelling, and visual art Known for its unique blend of Indian and Portuguese influences, Goa occupies a distinctive place in India’s cultural landscape. From its folk traditions, music, architecture, cuisine, and coastal communities to its festivals, artistic legacy, and layered social history, Goa represents a meeting point of multiple civilisational and cultural influences. The celebration at Galgotias University attempted to bring these dimensions alive for students through music, theatre, dance, visual storytelling, and performances inspired by the state’s cultural identity. The event was graced by Mr. Sanjay Kumar Srivastava, Former Chief Secretary, Goa, along with his wife. The occasion began with a traditional Goan Khordu welcome, introducing audiences to a ceremonial gesture closely associated with Goan hospitality and community traditions. One of the highlights of the event was a specially curated documentary on Goa created by the School of Media and Communication Studies at Galgotias University. Showcased during the celebrations, the documentary traced Goa’s journey across centuries, touching upon early historical references, the Kadamba and Vijayanagara influences, temple traditions and architectural evolution, the Portuguese colonial period, Operation Vijay, and Goa’s eventual Statehood. Through archival references, visuals, narration, music, and storytelling, the film attempted to present Goa not merely as a tourist destination but as a region shaped by history, resistance, migration, faith, language, and cultural exchange. The presentation was warmly received by attendees and became one of the most discussed segments of the programme. The auditorium came alive through a series of performances presented by students from the Music Club, Dance Club, and Actors Hub. Music, dance, theatre, and stage performances inspired by Goan and contemporary cultural themes filled the venue with rhythm, movement, humour, and audience participation. From musical renditions such as Maria Pitache and Memories to choreographed performances and theatrical segments, students brought different fragments of Goan and contemporary performance culture onto the stage. The programme also reflected the scale of student involvement behind the scenes. Students participated across scripting, editing, stage coordination, anchoring, costume planning, performances, and documentary production in the days leading up to the event, turning the celebration into a collaborative cultural production exercise. Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO, Galgotias University , reflected on Goa’s distinctive cultural and historical identity during the celebration. He said, “ Goa carries a cultural personality unlike any other part of India. Its music, architecture, churches, temples, food traditions, coastal communities, and social life reflect centuries of cultural exchange and historical evolution. Yet many young people encounter Goa only through popular imagery, while its deeper historical and cultural layers often remain unexplored. Through this celebration, we wanted students to engage with Goa’s history, artistic traditions, stories, and lived culture through performances, visuals, music, and storytelling that could make those experiences feel immediate and tangible on campus .” The Goa Statehood Day celebration concluded with students and attendees carrying back memories of performances and music, as well as a deeper understanding of Goa’s rich history, cultural evolution, and artistic traditions.

FIFA WC 2026: 'Belgium Are Capable Of Achieving Great Things,' Says Coach Garcia
FIFA World Cup: Belgium football head coach Rudi Garcia has shown firm belief in his side to achieve great things as they gear up for their fourth consecutive FIFA World Cup appearance. Belgium are placed in Group G with Egypt, Iran and New Zealand, and the 62-year-old coach has set a clear goal of coming out on top in the group stage and securing a favourable draw for the next round. We need to distinguish between our objective and our ambition. Our priority is to get through the group stage. Lets come out on top so that we earn a more favourable draw and, ideally, stay put [in Seattle for the Round of 32]. That will be the objective! Garcia told FIFA in an interview. Belgium suffered a shocking group-stage exit at the Qatar 2022 World Cup but are in a much better place in the ongoing tournament, as their opponents are less experienced than they are. With 14 World Cup campaigns already under their belt, they possess vastly greater pedigree on the global stage than the rest of the group combined, eclipsing Egypts three, Irans six and New Zealands two appearances to date. Although the odds appear to be in their favour, Garcia is taking nothing for granted. We have a huge amount of respect for the other three sides in our group, he stressed. This is what the World Cup is all about. We know Egypt well; theyre one of the best teams in Africa. I know all about Mo Salah as I coached him at Roma. Were also up against a team from Oceania and one from Asia. Were obviously less familiar with them as we dont see them play as often, but were looking forward to finding out what the Iranian and New Zealand teams are made of. Lets start by respecting our group-stage opponents. Lets beat them, finish top of the group, and then well see how far we can go, he added. Garcia may be ambitious, but he is certainly under no illusions about the task ahead, well aware that Belgium sitting ninth in the FIFA World Ranking ahead of their final warm-up matches have lost some of their lustre since their legendary run in 2018. Lets start by respecting our group-stage opponents. Lets beat them, finish top of the group, and then well see how far we can go, he added.

New Report Warns of Immediate Climate Risks Across India's 11,000 km Coastline
Indian Coastal Region: Climate Projections 2021–2040’ report released by Azim Premji University, Bengaluru. Santonu Goswami, Professor, School of Climate Change and Sustainability, Azim Premji University, Bengaluru Focusing on near-term projections (2021-2040) the study provides actionable insights for policymakers and local communities, using CMIP6* model projections corrected for regional bias to improve accuracy. The report warns that the window for adaptation is rapidly narrowing as the 1.5°C warming threshold is expected to be reached across India’s administrative regions in the near future. “Climate change is not some distant future challenge—it is the reality of today. 2040 is just 14 years away,” said Anurag Behar, CEO, Azim Premji Foundation . “This dataset brings to life the impacts of climate change with much greater immediacy, highlighting how we must restructure our infrastructure and governance to ensure we collectively address this crisis.” The report traces how specific changes—from rising wet-bulb temperatures in Kerala to intensifying monsoons in Maharashtra—are already rendering traditional knowledge systems, like the Nakaih wind calendar, unreliable. It aims to provide the foundational data necessary for local authorities to build district-level resilience. “The data in this report is a mirror that reflects a reality we can no longer afford to ignore. For decades, we treated climate change as a global abstraction — a problem of polar ice caps and distant centuries. But our findings show that for the Indian coastline, the crisis is hyper-local and immediate. Whether it is the heat stress in Ernakulam or the rising salinity in the Sundarbans, our vulnerability is visible in all aspects of our daily lives. We have a short window of time to move from reactive mitigation to proactive adaptation — we need to craft a future that acknowledges the ecological challenges faced by our nation,” said Harini Nagendra, Director, School of Climate Change and Sustainability, Azim Premji University. Maharashtra and Gujarat’s coastal regions are entering a period of significant environmental transition, with Suburban Mumbai projected to see summer maximum temperatures rise by 1.3°C, highlighting the growing need for heat-resilient urban planning. This warming is accompanied by a marked intensification of seasonal rainfall; Suburban Mumbai is expected to face almost an additional week (+6 days) of heavy rain, while districts like Surat and Bhavnagar are preparing for Southwest monsoon surges of 23% and 24%, respectively. These shifts are already impacting local livelihoods: for instance, the Koli community in Mumbai reports business losses when unpredictable rain spells disrupt the traditional drying of prawns. By focusing on the immediate 2040 window, the report provides the granular data necessary for the West Coast to safeguard its infrastructure and unique coastal heritage. Key Findings Rising Temperatures: India’s average temperatures are projected to increase by 1.5°C, with approximately 40 coastal districts likely to see summer temperatures rise by over 1°C. Dangerous "Wet-Bulb" Heat: Coastal Kerala and Tamil Nadu will experience high summer wet-bulb temperatures, nearing the 31°C- levels considered dangerous for humans. Ernakulam Heat Spike: Ernakulam is projected to record the highest increase in maximum summer temperatures projected at +1.3°C among all coastal districts. Intensified West Coast Monsoons: Coastal Maharashtra and Gujarat will receive significantly higher rainfall with suburban Mumbai likely to experience nearly an additional week of heavy rain. Surat’s Monsoon Surge: Surat is projected to see a substantial 23% increase in Southwest Monsoon compared to historical levels. Sea-Level Rise and Erosion: Under moderate emission scenarios (SSP2-4.5)**, global sea levels are projected to rise by 15 cm by 2050, accelerating coastal erosion and creating "ghost villages" in regions like Ganjam, Odisha. Cyclone Risk: Rapid acceleration in sea surface temperatures (0.27°C per decade) is increasing the likelihood of intense tropical cyclones. Impact on Traditional Livelihoods: In Goa, unseasonal rains are destroying entire salt harvests within hours, while warming seas are pushing fish further offshore, leading to "empty nets" for small-scale fishermen. Health and Salinity: In the Sundarbans, rising salinity from frequent embankment breaches is linked to increased skin diseases and menstrual health challenges among women.

Markets across Kashmir witnessed brisk business in the days leading up to Eid, particularly in livestock markets where sacrificial animals witnessed high demand despite soaring prices. Traders reported increased sales of sheep, goats, bakery items, garments, and other festival-related goods. However, many residents expressed concern over rising prices of sacrificial animals and essential commodities. Public transport operated normally in most parts of the Valley, and tourist movement also continued uninterrupted during the festive period. Families visited relatives and friends while children thronged parks and markets, adding to the festive spirit. Meanwhile, sanitation workers and municipal authorities remained active throughout the festival period to manage waste generated from sacrificial practices.
