IPL 2026: DC Have Enough Backups For Every Slot Except For Axar & Kuldeep, Opines Chopra
New Delhi: Former India opener Aakash Chopra has backed Delhi Capitals (DC) to end their long wait for an IPL title, adding the franchise's 2026 squad look as 'a very strong unit' and that he would keep his fingers crossed for them to win the trophy this year. DC are one of only two franchises to have never won the IPL title despite featuring in every season since the leagues inception in 2008. Anybody who has won multiple trophies, even Gujarat Titans, who reached the finals twice and won a trophy in their first two years, you will find that consistency and stability allowed them to succeed. IPL is designed in a way that gives you the chance to reboot. After every three years, there is a big auction coming up. Kudos to Delhi, because since 2019, they have consistently been there or thereabouts, and made the final in 2020. The womens team has reached the final in all four WPL seasons. They have got their auctions right and this year, I feel they have a very strong unit. So, fingers crossed that this could be their year, said Chopra on JioStar. He also pointed out the importance of stability in leadership and team selection, pointing to DCs improved auction strategy last year as a key factor. Anybody who has won multiple trophies, even Gujarat Titans, who reached the finals twice and won a trophy in their first two years, you will find that consistency and stability allowed them to succeed. Where there is no success, teams keep chopping and changing in a bid to find it, thinking that once they succeed, they will become stable. Then it becomes a chicken-and-egg situation. That has been the issue with both PBKS and DC. One team has had 15 captains, the other has had 17. So, if you want to change your present, stability is non-negotiable. We have often seen that the better teams arrive at their best combination in the first or second match itself, while teams that keep chopping and changing, using around 22 out of 25 players, finish closer to the bottom than the top, he said. Assessing DC and PBKS, Chopra added, On paper, I think Delhi is a more complete unit, with enough backups for almost every slot except the two spinners, but you wont find backups for Axar Patel and Kuldeep even in the entire country. Former India left-arm pacer Irfan Pathan spoke about the challenge DC faced with identifying talent during the early 2010s. I was with Punjab and Delhi for three years each. When I was at Delhi, Eric Simmons, who is now with CSK as the bowling coach, was the coach, and there was an effort to bring stability. But when you let go of players like AB de Villiers, and you had Andre Russell, starting from scratch is not easy. I played alongside Russell in the same dressing room and there were a lot of discussions about giving him more opportunities. But they just couldnt find a place for him consistently in the XI. So, identification of talent is very important, and I feel Delhi used to fall short in that area. Pathan also spoke about how the leadership of captain Shreyas Iyer and head coach Ricky Ponting has been the key difference for PBKS from IPL 2025. Leadership has played a huge role in Punjabs turnaround. You win half the IPL at the auction table. Big purses dont necessarily mean you will always get what you want, but they did, and they reached the final. But when you let go of players like AB de Villiers, and you had Andre Russell, starting from scratch is not easy. I played alongside Russell in the same dressing room and there were a lot of discussions about giving him more opportunities. But they just couldnt find a place for him consistently in the XI. So, identification of talent is very important, and I feel Delhi used to fall short in that area. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Look at the backup players - in the past, Punjab struggled with that when the focus was entirely on building the first XI, but now you see all-rounders like Azmatullah Omarzai, Marco Jansen and Marcus Stoinis, along with a young Indian batting core. Apart from that, they went all-out for Shreyas Iyer after deciding he would be the captain. So, there is clarity of thought, and I feel Punjab have started to move in the right direction, he concluded. Article Source: IANS
IPL 2026: Rajasthan Royals Likely To Sign Shanaka As Replacement For Injured Curran
Indian Premier League: Sri Lankas seam-bowling all-rounder Dasun Shanaka is likely to join Rajasthan Royals (RR) for the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) season as a replacement for injured Sam Curran, who has been ruled out due to a groin injury. RR, the inaugural IPL champions, will begin their IPL 2026 campaign against five-time winners Chennai Super Kings at ACA Stadium in Guwahati on March 30. The conversations are ongoing for Shanaka to join RR for the upcoming IPL season. Barring a few formalities which are yet to be completed, this seems to be a done deal and its pretty much going in that direction, a franchise official told IANS on Sunday. Shanaka went unsold at last years IPL auction in Abu Dhabi, and was later picked up by Lahore Qalandars in the upcoming season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) for PKR 75 lakh. Once confirmed, Shanaka will become the second player after Zimbabwes Blessing Muzarabani to leave PSL and join IPL this year. South Africa's seam-bowling all-rounder Corbin Bosch made a similar switch to IPL last year, leaving Peshawar Zalmi to sign with Mumbai Indians, prompting the PSL to impose a one-year ban on him.

IPL 2026: T20 WC Squad Snub Will Motivate Shubman Gill This Season, Says Cheteshwar Pujara
The T20 World Cup: The selectors' decision to ignore him for the recently-concluded ICC Men's T20 World Cup, denying India's Test and ODI captain an opportunity to win silverware in the shortest format, will fire-up Shubman Gill to go all out to capture the Indian Premier League (IPL) title that his side Gujarat Titans that eluded them last year. According to former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara, Gill will look to bounce back from that disappointment by leading the Gujarat Titans (GT) to the title in the IPL 2026, scheduled to start on March 28. The Titans, the 2022 champions, fell short in the Eliminator in IPL 2025 and will be aiming to go further and lift the trophy for the second time. Speaking on JioHotstars Game Plan Know Your Team, JioStar expert Cheteshwar Pujara discussed how the T20 World Cup snub could motivate Shubman Gill in IPL 2026: The T20 World Cup squad snub will definitely fire up Shubman Gill. He is a quality player suited for all three formats. If he has a good IPL 2026 season, he will surely put his name in Indias T20I squad. He is leading the Test squad and is also the ODI captain. He is a multi-format player. If he has a good season, he will be back in the scheme of things for the Indian team. There will be some pressure on him because he has not been part of the India squad in the shortest format. But at the same time, it is a great opportunity for him to carry on batting the way he has. He needs to try to accelerate a little more because that is something he has been working on. This IPL season is the perfect one for him to show he can bat at a strike rate of 150 to 160, said Pujara. On the chances of Ashok Sharma, the 150 kmph pacer that the Gujarat Titans bought for Rs 90 lakh in the auction, making it into the Playing XI and making his debut, Pujara said the youngster may make his IPL debut if eventually this season. He also highlighted Sharma's good fortune of working under former India pacer Ashish Nehra in his first season. Playing your first IPL season with a team like GT, under the guidance of Ashish Nehra, will be a big opportunity for Ashok Sharma. He may not get into the playing XI immediately, early in the season, because you have Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, and Kagiso Rabada as the third seamer. But I wont be surprised if Rabada misses out at some point. If they think of bringing in someone like Jason Holder, who has been in prime form in T20 cricket, they could have an extra Indian seamer in Ashok Sharma instead of Rabada. That might be a combination GT can look at. But in the first phase of the IPL, their playing XI will likely remain as it was in the past. Pujara also analysed Gujarat Titans' strengths and weaknesses and felt the rich resources that they have make them title contenders this season. GT look like a title favourite this season. If you look at their squad, the top order of Captain Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler is incredible. You cannot have a better top order than them. These three have scored runs with amazing consistency. That is their main strength. Pujara also analysed Gujarat Titans' strengths and weaknesses and felt the rich resources that they have make them title contenders this season. Also Read: Live Cricket Score When it comes to bowling, their strength is their seamers. Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna are their main pacers, and Ishant Sharma is also on the bench if needed. Ashok Sharma will be unleashed with his fiery pace at some point in the season. Left-armer Luke Wood is another seamer who knows how to do well. If Rabada does not perform, Wood can replace him. But I hope Rabada, being a strike bowler, has a good IPL. All GT fans will be hoping the same, said Pujara. Article Source: IANS

Seismic shifts in geopolitics and rapid technological advancements in the realm of artificial intelligence, automation, and data-driven systems are reconfiguring how expertise functions, how organisations are structured, and how professional pathways evolve. Universities must therefore examine whether their institutional design, pedagogy, and leadership priorities are aligned with the complexity students will encounter over decades of technological and geopolitical change. Global academic leaders convened at Ahmedabad University for a cross-continental liberal arts collaborative Ahmedabad University hosted leaders from Vassar College, University of Edinburgh, and University of Global Health Equity as part of the Global Collaborative for the Liberal Arts. The partnership brings together institutions committed to cultivating intellectual agility alongside technological competence through coordinated academic design and institutional reflection. With institutions spread across continents, the Global Collaborative for the Liberal Arts fosters sustained comparative reflection on organisational culture, pedagogy, and educational outcomes within distinct higher education systems. This cross-continental structure allows curricular design and institutional strategy to be informed by varied political, economic, and technological environments, strengthening the capacity of each partner to undertake reform with shared insight and institutional clarity. Professor Pankaj Chandra, Vice Chancellor of Ahmedabad University , said, “Preparing students for the age of artificial intelligence requires more than adding technical modules. Institutions must cultivate intellectual agility as a defined outcome. A concern for long term implications of any technology on society must enter the content as well as the pedagogy so that graduates are able to integrate technical knowledge with ethical reasoning and cross-disciplinary understanding.” Sharing her insights about the urgent need for reimagining higher education, Professor Elizabeth Bradley, President of Vassar College , said, “Technological systems are advancing at extraordinary speed and they’re already having a transformative impact on learning. Higher education institutions must ensure that ethical reasoning, contextual judgment, and interdisciplinary inquiry stay at the forefront. Humanistic technological change requires intentional educational design.” The 2026 shared academic theme, Humanistic Technological Innovation, examines how artificial intelligence, financial technologies, digital health systems, and data infrastructures can expand access and inclusion while strengthening public institutions. Each partner institution contributes a distinct disciplinary perspective, including financial technology and inclusion, planetary health, narrative medicine, and technology ethics. Underscoring the implementation focused approach of the Collaborative , Professor Philip Cotton, Vice Chancellor of the University of Global Health Equity, said, “ An important academic initiative within the partnership is the Global Scholars Course, a jointly developed programme connecting students across four continents through shared readings, structured dialogue, and collaborative project design. The course culminates in an academic immersion in Kigali, Rwanda, where cross-institutional teams develop proposals addressing gaps in access and inclusion within technological ecosystems.” Hosting the 2026 convening in Ahmedabad reflects the increasingly multipolar character of educational leadership. Institutions across Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America are contributing to the redesign of higher education in ways that recognise technological transformation while sustaining the centrality of human judgment. Professor Peter Mathieson, Principal and Vice Chancellor of the University of Edinburgh, said, “Universities operate in very different national and social contexts, yet many of the challenges we face in the global context are very similar. Collaborations such as the Global Collaborative for the Liberal Arts create opportunities for institutions to learn from one another while bringing diverse perspectives to shared questions about technology, society, and the future of education.” Through the Global Collaborative for the Liberal Arts, the four institutions are advancing a coordinated model of education designed to prepare graduates for responsible leadership in a century defined by artificial intelligence and sustained complexity. About Ahmedabad University Ahmedabad University is a leading private, non-profit research university offering students a liberal education focused on interdisciplinary learning, practice orientation, and research thinking.

IPL 2026: After Doing The Quiet Work, Kumar Kushagra Ready To Deliver For Gujarat Titans
The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: When Kumar Kushagra didnt get a game for the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, he could have retreated into the comfortable anonymity of the franchises bench strength. Instead, he worked tirelessly in the nets, enhancing his skillsets in batting and keeping, and returned to Jharkhand to apply everything in a domestic season, which said that he was ready to do more heavy lifting through multi-tasking. The evidence arrived in the 2025/26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, which Jharkhand won, and Kushagra, batting at number three, was central to that triumph by amassing 422 runs in ten games at an average of 161.68 and an average of 60.28, including four fifties. He would carry that rich vein of form in Ranji Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy matches, where Kushagra even led Jharkhand when Ishan Kishan wasnt present. The start of Kushagra having that power-play prowess in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy came from the learnings given by GTs director of cricket, Vikram Solanki. I enjoyed it because I was getting good batting practice and under good coaches like, Vikram Solanki sir helped me a lot when I was there in GT doing batting in the nets and in practice matches. He helped me a lot with batting like how a specialist batter in white-ball cricket performs, what he does, and what a three-format player would do. So there was a very good contribution from GTs side, recalled Kushagra in an exclusive conversation with IANS, facilitated by JSW Sports. What also helped Kushagra, who previously played three games for Delhi Capitals (DC), was that his issues against facing the new ball were ironed out by Solanki at GT. Against the new ball, I was not having exactly any issues. But I was not able to play well against it because I was batting at number five or six. Even when I was practising while I was back home, I was not getting that many opportunities to practice against a new ball. So when I joined the GT camp, he told me directly that whenever you bat, it will be against a new ball, and don't even think about the old ball. So that took me to a different mindset that I have to use power-play well, hit the balls, and in the gaps as well. I was just asking him how I can just hit the gaps also, and just not think about hitting the ball over the fielders. So we talked a lot about that, and whatever he told me, I did it in the nets, and it was displayed in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy -- so he was also very happy, he elaborated. Behind the stumps as well, Kushagras education continued via former keepers Parthiv Patel and Matthew Wade. Parthiv sir helped me a lot. If you talk about keeping against the spinners, he was the specialist. He was telling me how to move, especially when a bowler like Rashid Khan, who has bowled so many good balls, is bowling. He is unpredictable when you are keeping and while batting as well. So he helped me a lot by saying that you should keep more against Rashid Khan -- look at the ball he is bowling and understand it. If he plays in a match, you have to understand it. He was very much into that, while Matthew Wade was mostly focused on the fast bowlers, while he was hitting into the catchers and all. So both of them were very different style coaches, and they helped me a lot as I was able to tick both the boxes while working with both of them, he explained. Aside from the priceless education Kushagra got at GT, he also got a sneak peek into the teams family-like environment and how observing head coach Ashish Nehra led to him maturing in his demeanour as a player. Yes, you can say that because while staying with the players there, everyone was very helpful. Even in the coaches, if you see Ashish Nehra, he was so funny from the outside. But when you are going inside the ground, he becomes so intense. So I think I learnt a lot about how to stay outside, while being focused inside, irrespective of the performance. Like how you are performing, what should be your focus inside, and what should be your nature outside. So there were many things to learn about over there. The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy win sits at the centre of this story, not merely as a result but as proof of Kushagra applying everything he had absorbed at GT in 2025, including when he was shifted up the order to maximise the power-play alongside Kishan. I expected that they would tell me that I would open the inning. But when the combination didn't work out, they told me that I would bat at number three. I asked them what they were expecting from me, and they told me that if I use power play well, it would be great for the team. They gave me a clarification in my mind that this is my role, and I felt very good about it. I was talking to the team's management and secretary Saurabh Tiwary, and yes, it was a very good tournament, and it was even more fun when we won. I was happy, and we were happier in winning the tournament because we used to perform well every year. But we were not doing that much so that we could win a tournament. So this tournament that we won, I had a very good role in it. My team and the coaches had a good role in promoting me from number five to number three, he said. Kushagras tryst with the leadership role also went well, something which fills him with gratitude. The domestic season was much better compared to the last two seasons. I aim to take my team to a higher level than what they were before, and I got that platform, and they thought I was capable enough to become a captain. So they gave me the captaincy, and I was doing it when Ishan Kishan was not there. In the Vijay Hazare tournament, I did captaincy in four to five games, and our performance was good. So, I feel grateful. Kushagra was back at GTs short pre-season camp in Udaipur in January before the second leg of the Ranji Trophy began, and to his happiness, he found the intensity top-notch. Not many players and coaches were there, so it was a short camp, but it was very much intense - keeping, fielding, and batting were very good. At that time, it was very cold -- so we were practicing in the morning, and then we had a camp. So I think I was there for like 2-3 days, I had a lot of fun there, and then again, I'm pretty much excited to join the team again. Though many things in Kushagras life remain the same, one thing that is still unchanged is the practice he does with his father in Jamshedpur before going for any big tournament. The mindset as a player has changed a lot, though not as a human being. You try to improve a little bit every year, and every year you are getting closer to entering the Indian team - that thing stays in the mind because you do a lot of IPL camps. Though many things in Kushagras life remain the same, one thing that is still unchanged is the practice he does with his father in Jamshedpur before going for any big tournament. Also Read: Live Cricket Score With Jos Buttler shaping as GTs primary keeper-batter, it means Kushagra will need to bide his time before getting the chance to unleash his fireworks. But having helped Jharkhand end their Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy drought, Kushagras immediate target is to win an IPL title with GT and, beyond that, a place in the Indian team. If all of this materialises, then that period of education in GTs nets in 2025 will prove to be career-defining. Article Source: IANS
