Indian Premier League: Former India left-arm pacer Irfan Pathan said the talismanic Virat Kohli will be hungrier than ever to win back-to-back Indian Premier League (IPL) titles after Royal Challengers Bangalore won their first-ever trophy in 2025. Kohli played a pivotal role in RCBs IPL 2025 victory by hitting 43 in the final against Punjab Kings and ended the season as the sides leading run-getter with 657 runs in 15 matches.

That hunger in him to win and create an impact is always going to be there, said Pathan on JioStar. Pathan also said Kohlis passion was evident in his recent international outings. We have seen that when he played for India, especially in the one-day series against South Africa and New Zealand. He looks like he wants to make an impact in every game. I think he will have the same kind of passion when he comes back this season. He will want to lift the trophy once again, he said.

There was a time when he was struggling, wasnt getting his timing right. But that is in the past now. Devdutt Padikkal is a different, very confident player now.

But going into IPL 2026, RCB will have some injury concerns, especially with Josh Hazlewood's fitness. The good thing is they have secured good backups. The duo of Nuwan Thushara and Jacob Duffy can cover well for Hazlewood if he faces fitness issues. That makes RCB even stronger. Article Source: IANS

IndiaRF, a leading private equity firm, acquired a controlling stake in the group in September 2023. With this expansion, Livasa Hospitals will further strengthen its ability to serve Punjab more effectively while continuing to advance its vision of ' Swasth Punjab .' Commenting on the expansion, Mr. Anurag Yadav, CEO, Livasa Hospitals , said: “ Ludhiana represents a key milestone in Livasa’s growth journey. As one of the most important cities in Punjab, it deserves access to advanced, high-quality healthcare close to home. With our upcoming hospital, we aim to bring our clinical expertise, modern infrastructure, and patient-centric approach to the people of Ludhiana and neighbouring districts. This expansion also strengthens our growing network across Punjab and reflects our commitment to building a trusted healthcare ecosystem for the region .” Commenting on the expansion, Shantanu Nalavadi, Managing Director of IndiaRF , said, “ Livasa has undergone tremendous transformation since our investment two years ago. IndiaRF has since professionalized the management, re-branded the group, and has invested in modernizing the existing facilities and acquiring the advance equipment. As we strengthen our new identity, it is now the right time to execute our expansion strategy by entering the largest city of Punjab – Ludhiana. We remain committed to expand the Livasa’s network through similar opportunities in the region and are actively looking to make more investments in in this platform .” About Livasa Hospitals Livasa Hospitals, operating under Careivy Hospitals Private Limited, is a leading corporate healthcare network in Punjab with NABH-accredited hospitals in Mohali, Amritsar, Hoshiarpur, Nawanshahr, and Khanna.

What emerges is a portrait of a woman reshaping lives far from the spotlight. Watch the full conversation here: youtu.be/9DuHfQiEO-I?si=f3_d0EXCbIcUH32W At the heart of her work is MeghaShrey, an NGO she self-funds entirely, with no CSR grants and no corporate sponsorships. Named after her children Meghna and Shrey, the organization has touched thousands of lives, from adopting a school of 1,000 girls in Bihar with scholarships and self-defense training, to vaccinating nearly 100,000 women against cervical cancer across rural Maharashtra, Bihar, Punjab, and Delhi. She also supports 150 children in Mumbai with education and sports, and aids over 120 senior citizens at an old age home in Dahisar.

That moment, she says, changed everything. Beyond philanthropy, Seema champions India's artisan economy through her fashion label SS by Seema Singh, created to support weavers and emerging designers hit hardest by the pandemic.
