Nitish likely to step down as Bihar CM on Tuesday, make way for first-ever BJP-led govt in state
Patna, Apr 14: Bihar finds itself on the cusp of a new political epoch on Tuesday when Nitish Kumar, the states longest-serving chief minister, is slated to make way for the first-ever BJP-led government in the province. Kumar, who heads the JD(U) and became a Rajya Sabha MP last week, is expected to tender his resignation shortly after the last meeting of his cabinet, which is scheduled at 11 am. It is a constitutional requirement. The chief minister informs his colleagues about his decision to dissolve the cabinet before meeting the governor, said Dilip Jaiswal, a senior BJP leader who is also a minister in the outgoing government. The BJP, which is the single largest party in the 243-strong assembly, with 89 MLAs, will thereafter elect its legislature party leader. The meeting of the legislature party is scheduled to be held at the BJP office here around 3 pm. Union minister Shivraj Singh Choudhan, whom the BJP parliamentary board has named central observer for the legislature party leaders election, is expected to fly down for the purpose. The 202-strong NDA also includes 85 MLAs of the JD(U), besides 19 of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) and five of the Hindustani Awam Morcha, headed by Union ministers Chirag Paswan and Jitan Ram Manjhi, respectively. In addition, there are five MLAs of Rashtriya Lok Morcha, led by Rajya Sabha MP Upendra Kushwaha. All the NDA legislators are scheduled to meet at the Central Hall of the state assembly at 4 pm. After a formal declaration of support from all constituents, the governor would be approached for the formation of a new government. Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, a former state BJP president who holds the Home portfolio in the outgoing government, is being seen as a front-runner among those whose names are doing the rounds for the top job. However, BJP insiders admit that the possibility of a surprise, at the instance of the partys central leadership, as was recently seen in Rajasthan, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh, could not be ruled out. Meanwhile, JD(U) leaders, who are trying to come to terms with the imminent loss of political clout, hope that despite stepping down as chief minister, Kumar will continue to pull some strings. Nitish Kumar ji will spend most of his time in Bihar. He will be in Delhi only while the Parliament session is on. The new government will be formed with his consent, and it will work under his guidance, said JD(U) leader Zama Khan, the minister for minority affairs in the outgoing state government. He also said that the party hoped that Kumars only son Nishant, who had joined the JD(U) a month ago, would be considered for an important role in the new government.

IPL 2026: Debutant Hinge Picks Scintillating Four-fer As SRH End RR's Winning Run (Ld)
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Debutant pacers Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain announced themselves on the grand stage by picking eight wickets collectively as Sunrisers Hyderabad ended IPL 2026 table topper Rajasthan Royals winning juggernaut with a thumping 53-run win at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Monday. On a pitch where the odd ball was stopping, captain Ishan Kishan hammered eight fours and six sixes in his blistering 44-ball 91 as SRH posted a towering 216/6. Anything full and wide was crashed through the off side via Kishans lightning hands, while short balls were dealt with authoritative pulls and whips for the SRH captain to bring up his 19th IPL fifty. But that effort was overshadowed by a scintillating spell from Hinge, who was named to debut against Punjab Kings last week, but was later pipped by Jaydev Unadkat as the impact player. In a script that felt like a fairytale coming true, Nagpur-based Hinge became the first bowler in IPL history to claim a three-wicket haul in the opening over. He broke the back of RRs mighty top order, including dismissing Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for a duck, to end up with 4-34. Hussain, hailing from Gopalganj in Bihar, provided the clinical finish and remained unflappable to pick 4-24, as RR were bowled out for 159 in 19 overs. SRHs gamble of blooding two debutants coming in place of experienced campaigners Unadkat and Harshal Patel proved to be a masterstroke. The victory is SRH's second in five games and catapults them to fourth spot on the points table. On the very first ball of his spell, Hinge did what the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Josh Hazlewood hadnt managed to do this season: dismiss Sooryavanshi cheaply. Sooryavanshis eyes lit up on seeing the short ball and went for an expansive pull, but the top-edge was caught by keeper Salil Arora, leaving Hinge and SRH jubilant. It was the start of a sensational spell for Hinge on the very next ball, he had Dhruv Jurel chopping on to his stumps, before Lhuan-dre Pretorius flicked straight to long leg. From the other end, fellow debutant pacer Sakib Hossain got his first IPL scalp as Yashasvi Jaiswal upper-cut a short ball with extra bounce to deep backward point. The nightmare continued for RR, as Hinge removed skipper Riyan Parag with a lovely outswinger, which he edged to slip, as the inaugural champions lost five scalps even before the third over was completed. With the games result rendered a foregone conclusion, Ravindra Jadeja and Donovan Ferreira steadied RRs ship with an aim to avoid having a huge dent on the net run rate. With the pair taking RR past 49, it meant they avoided the ignominy of the lowest score in the IPL. The duo brought up the fifty of their stand off 35 balls, with Ferreira being lighting quick to pounce on anything loose from spinners Shivang Kumar and Harsh Dubey and sent them over the boundary ropes to bring up his maiden IPL half-century off just 31 deliveries. But the 118-run stand, the highest for a sixth wicket for RR, was broken when Sakib castled Ferreira with a slower ball, while Jadeja nicked behind off Eshan Malinga. More delight came for Sakib when he dismissed Jofra Archer and Ravi Bishnoi with consecutive slower while Malinga had Tushar Deshpande holing out to extra-cover and close a thumping win for SRH. Long before the two debutants unleashed carnage, Archer silenced the sell-out Uppal crowd by dismissing Abhishek Sharma on the very first delivery, as he gave a thick edge to third man. It was Archers fourth first-ball wicket in the IPL, while Abhishek bagged his seventh duck in T20s this year. But Archers second over burst his bubble as Kishan whipped him for four, before pulling a bouncer for six and launching Sandeep Sharma down the ground. Nandre Burger nearly dismissed Travis Head twice in the fourth over - a nip-backer took an inside edge for four, while a mistimed loft just evaded Archer. But a rusty Head holed out to long-on off Riyan Parag just after SRHs fifty was raised in the power-play. Kishan marched forward to bring his fifty in 30 balls with a monstrous slog sweep off Ravi Bishnoi and brought up SRHs hundred by smoking Tushar Deshpande for six. Kishan then smashed three boundaries off Deshpande via a wristy flick and a brace of slices, as 21 runs came off the 11th over and the fifty of his partnership with Heinrich Klaasen arrived in just 26 deliveries. Kishan continued to tear into Archer, carving him through backward point, long-on, and deep mid-wicket for three fours. Following a floodlight failure break, Kishan fell nine runs short of his century, miscuing a pull off Sandeep to Jurel, who survived a collision with the pacer, while Klaasen chipped to extra cover off Archer for 40. Kishan then smashed three boundaries off Deshpande via a wristy flick and a brace of slices, as 21 runs came off the 11th over and the fifty of his partnership with Heinrich Klaasen arrived in just 26 deliveries.

He broke the back of RRs mighty top order to end up with 4-34. Hussain, hailing from Gopalganj in Bihar, provided the clinical finish and remained unflappable to pick with 4-24. For RR, who were at 9/5, a partnership of 118 between Donovan Ferreira (69) and Ravindra Jadeja (45) - the second-highest stand for the sixth wicket or lower in the IPL, saved the side from being shot out for a low total, as they eventually folded at 159 in 19 overs. SRHs gamble of blooding two debutants coming in place of experienced campaigners Harshal Patel and Jaydev Unadkat proved to be a masterstroke. The victory is SRH's second in five games and catapults them to fourth spot on the points table, with their campaign firmly back on track. On the very first ball of his spell, Hinge did what the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Josh Hazlewood hadnt managed to do this season: dismiss Vaibhav Sooryavanshi cheaply.

IPL 2026: Ishan Kishan Top-scores With 91 As SRH Post 216/6 Against RR
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Captain Ishan Kishan top-scored with a blistering 91 as Sunrisers Hyderabad posted a towering 216/6 against Rajasthan Royals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Monday. Jofra Archer silenced the sell-out Uppal crowd by dismissing Abhishek Sharma on the very first delivery. Travis Head struggled for rhythm, but Kishan operated on a different level. Anything full and wide was crashed through the off side with lightning hands, while short balls were dealt with authoritative pulls and whips to bring up his 19th IPL fifty. He hammered eight fours and six sixes in his 44-ball 91, and was the dominant partner in an 88-run stand for the third wicket with Heinrich Klaasen (40) that shifted momentum entirely. Late fireworks from Nitish Kumar Reddy (28) and Salil Arora (24 not out) ensured a clinical finish. Pushed into batting first, SRH had an awful start. Abhishek Sharma charged down on Archers first ball and mistimed to third man for a golden duck. It was Archers fourth first-ball wicket in the IPL, while Abhishek bagged his seventh duck in T20s this year. However, Archers second over brought him back to earth as Kishan whipped him for four, before pulling a bouncer for six and launching Sandeep Sharma down the ground. Nandre Burger nearly dismissed Travis Head twice in the fourth over - a nip-backer took an inside edge for four, while a mistimed loft just evaded Archer. But a rusty Head holed out to long-on off Riyan Parag just after the fifty was raised in the power-play. Kishan marched forward to bring his fifty in 30 balls with a monstrous slog sweep off Ravi Bishnoi and brought up SRHs hundred by smoking Tushar Deshpande for six. Kishan then smashed three boundaries off Deshpande via a wristy flick and a brace of slices, as 21 runs came off the 11th over as the fifty-partnership with Klaasen arrived in just 26 deliveries. Kishan continued to tear into Archer, carving him through backward point, long-on, and deep mid-wicket for three fours. Following a floodlight failure break, Kishan fell nine runs short of his century, miscuing a pull off Sandeep to keeper Dhruv Jurel, who survived a collision with the pacer.

IPL 2026: SRH Have Got An Incredible Squad, Unity To Still Make It To The Playoffs, Says Klaasen
The Ishan Kishan: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) batter Heinrich Klaasen believes the side still has the depth and unity to push for a playoffs spot in IPL 2026, despite a mixed start to their campaign. SRH, the IPL 2016 winners, return to their home ground after losing to Punjab Kings by six wickets in New Chandigarh The Ishan Kishan-led side have only one win in four games. It's not the perfect start that we wanted. I think we have one game away from where I think we would have been happy with. If you gave us one to two out of four, we would have been happy. But now we're playing a new 10-match series, basically. We're still aiming for that seven or eight wins. So life's a little bit harder, but we still can do it. We've got an incredible squad and an incredible unity to still make it to the playoffs, Klaasen said to broadcasters ahead of SRH hosting Rajasthan Royals. Reflecting on his own batting form, Klaasen said, Six out of ten. I would like to go a little bit quicker. Last game didn't go so well for me. I give up a couple of runs or a little bit. I struggled a little bit. But the first three games, I was pretty pleased with myself. I've missed out on one or two boundaries, maybe. But the way I've played and the way I've summed up the game so far, I'm quite happy and quite pleased. It's just about getting the last game out of my head, he added.

IPL 2026: Pretorius, Deshpande Come In As RR Elect To Bowl First Against SRH
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Left-handed batter Lhuan-dre Pretorius and right-arm pacer Tushar Deshpande come in as Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Monday. Inaugural champions RR arrive on the back of winning all four of their games, while SRH, the IPL 2016 winners, return to their home ground after losing to Punjab Kings by six wickets in New Chandigarh. Deshpande replaces Brijesh Sharma, while Pretorius comes in as Shimron Hetmyer is rested. A new wicket for us, first time its been used this season as well. So hopefully theres a little bit of stickiness at the start. Weve chased down a lot of totals here. We fell short in 2024, so hopefully not the case this time. Its been a journey. I was under (Sanju Samson) Bhaiya for the longest time, and then Sanga did really well in improving me with all the decisions and involved me in all the tactical and strategic meetings. Now I think Ive taken the onus up. Had to make a lot of tough calls, but happy to be here, said RR captain Riyan Parag. SRH skipper Ishan Kishan said fast bowlers Sakib Hussain and Praful Hinge replaced experienced pacers Jaydev Unadkat and Harshal Patel. I think Ive been doing this for a long time. I was a leader in Under-19 India, Ive been doing it for my state team, and I think it makes you more aware of the situation, more focused on the game. You look to do more for your team because its never about individual performance, its always about teamwork. So we have done it, and I think were doing it in a very good manner. I think obviously it makes a difference when youre the captain of the team and youve been doing well. It shows a lot of maturity, that a player has a certain amount of growth in him now. So it did help me a bit in the last few years when Ive been a leader of my side and done well for the team. It made me come back to the Indian side. So what else can you ask for? he said.

IPL 2026: Tim David, Hardik Pandya Fined For Code Of Conduct Breach
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Tim David and Hardik Pandya have been punished for separate violations of the IPL Code of Conduct after Match 20 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. David, playing for RCB, was fined 25 percent of his match fee and received one demerit point for a Level 1 offence. This was for breaching Article 2.4, which deals with ignoring an umpires instruction during a match. The first incident occurred in the 18th over of RCBs innings when the umpires decided to change the ball. David insisted on inspecting it and refused to return it despite several requests. A similar situation happened again in the final over, where he again did not hand the ball back to the officials, showing repeated non-compliance. The batter admitted to the offence and accepted the penalty given by the match referee. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya was fined Rs12 lakh for having a slow over-rate during the same match. Since it was MIs first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL Code of Conduct, the appropriate penalty was applied. Brilliant bowling, blazing half-centuries by Phil Salt (78) and Rajat Patidar (53), followed by some fine restrictive bowling, helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) hand five-time champions Mumbai Indians an 18-run defeat in Match 20 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. Salt and Patidar put up a sensational display of power-hitting as they rained sixes on their way to half-centuries, and with Virat Kohli contributing a sedate 50, RCB posted a challenging 240/4 in their 20 overs. Mumbai Indians' ambitious chase of a record-high target at Wankhede fizzled out after former skipper Rohit Sharma suffered a hamstring injury and had to retire hurt for 19 off 13 balls.

NDTV's Research Paper Accepted at SIGIR 2026 Industry Track, A first for Indian Media
NDTV has achieved a significant milestone in applied artificial intelligence, with its research paper accepted at ACM SIGIR 2026 - widely regarded as the world’s leading conference in search and information retrieval. Rohan Tyagi, Chief Product Officer, NDTV Digital The paper, ‘All the News That Fits in Bits: Learned Rotation-Aware Binary Projections for Efficient News Retrieval at NDTV’, focuses on a challenge that sits at the core of modern news platforms - how to find and surface the right information instantly from a rapidly expanding universe of content. As newsrooms scale and archives grow, delivering relevant stories in real time - with speed, accuracy, and efficiency - becomes increasingly complex. NDTV’s work offers a more effective way to do this, making search significantly faster and more cost-efficient without compromising quality. The system has been tested under real-world newsroom conditions, where editorial teams found the results to be as reliable and relevant as those of existing approaches. The acceptance is particularly notable given the selectivity of SIGIR’s Industry Track, where only a small number of papers are chosen globally from submissions by leading technology companies and research institutions. NDTV becomes the first Indian media company to be selected in this category. Ritwick Ghosh, lead author of the paper and Engineer, Machine Learning at NDTV , said, ‘The challenge was simple to describe but difficult to solve - how do you search through a massive and constantly growing news library in milliseconds, without losing relevance? This work is about making that possible in a way that is fast, efficient, and dependable in real newsroom conditions.’ Rohan Tyagi, Chief Product Officer, NDTV Digital , added, 'As our content and audiences scale, building intelligent systems like these becomes essential. This is about ensuring that relevance is delivered instantly, while keeping the experience seamless and efficient.’ This recognition places NDTV among a small group of global organisations contributing to advances in AI-driven search and discovery, and strengthens its position as a newsroom building technology grounded in real-world use.

The New Indian Express: A new detail has emerged in the controversy after Rajasthan Royals manager Romi Bhinder spotted using a mobile phone in the dugout during an IPL match, with reports claiming Bhinder was using the phone as a precautionary measure due to medical issues. During the IPL 2026 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Guwahati, the incident captured live by TV cameras at the ACA Stadium showed Bhinder using a device while seated next to teenaged left-handed opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who was looking at the screen. The footage then went viral and raised questions regarding the breach of the leagues strict anti-corruption protocols. According to the IPLs Players and Match Officials Area (PMOA), a team manager may use a phone in the dressing room area but NOT in the dugout. The BCCI has initiated a formal investigation into matter. As per The New Indian Express report, Bhinder was carrying the phone as a precautionary measure because both his lungs had collapsed in the past, and he was on a ventilator for nearly a week before being shifted to the ICU where he spent around three weeks. The report further quoted a source, saying, Romi knows the rules and regulations, but that phone was in his possession due to medical reasons. Besides, possessing a mobile phone and a laptop in the dugout is allowed as per the protocol. The only problem was the usage, but again, he was not making calls or receiving any of them. He was just scrolling his phone. He has time and he will try to explain his point of view to the ACSU officials. We are hopeful that the ACSU officials will keep Romi's medical conditions in mind before arriving at a conclusion. The problem was he had to walk at least 50 steps before climbing around 20 steps to reach the dressing room and do the same to return to the dugout. That must have forced him to check the phone at the dugout itself, it added. The report further quoted a source, saying, Romi knows the rules and regulations, but that phone was in his possession due to medical reasons.

IPL 2026: Salt, Patidar Fifties, Fine Bowling Power RCB To 18-run Win Over MI (Ld)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Brilliant, blazing half-centuries by Phil Salt (78) and Rajat Patidar (53), followed by some fine restrictive bowling, helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) hand five-time champions Mumbai Indians an 18-run defeat in Match 20 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. Salt and Patidar put up a sensational display of power-hitting as they rained sixes on their way to half-centuries, and with Virat Kohli contributing a sedate 50, RCB posted a challenging 240/4 in their 20 overs. Mumbai Indians' ambitious chase of a record-high target at Wankhede fizzled out after former skipper Rohit Sharma suffered a hamstring injury and had to retire hurt for 19 off 13 balls. Sherfane Rutherford hammered an unbeaten 71 off 31 balls, smashing nine sixes towards the fag end of the match after Hardik Pandya (40) and Ryan Rickelton (37) raised the hopes a bit at the start. Mumbai Indians eventually finished with 222/5 in 20 overs, falling short by 18 runs to slump to their third defeat in a row. RCB won their third game in four matches, moving up to six points and the third spot in the points table, behind Rajasthan Royals (8) and Punjab Kings (7). It was a strange match, as it dragged on and on, with players walking off with injuries after seeking lengthy breaks for treatment on the ground, and both teams going for review for no-balls and wides, thus prolonging the proceedings, which became tedious towards the end. The Mumbai Indians started their chase of 241 on a bright note with Ryan Rickelton, who started with a six off Jacob Duffy in the opening over, and Rohit Sharma raising 50 runs for the team in the fifth over. The five-time champions reached 62 for no loss in the six overs of Power-play, but the dugout was not that happy as former captain Rohit Sharma had to retire hurt because of a hamstring injury, for which he received treatment on the ground. He was batting on 19 in the sixth over when he decided to return to the dugout and receive more treatment. Rickelton struck Duffy for four and six and swung the seasoned Bhuvneshwar Kumar for a six over the long-leg fence. He was the first to go when he took a wild swing at a Suyash Sharma googly, only to top-edge it to Bhuvneshwar at short third. Rickelton was out for 37 off 22 balls, hitting three fours and as many sixes. Tilak Varma (1) survived only three balls before he attempted a sweep off Suyash Sharma, only to spoon a simple catch to Duffy. The double strike by the leg-spinner virtually derailed the Mumbai Indians' chase. Suryakumar Yadav, who started with a four off Impact player Rasikh Salam on the second ball he faced, struck Krunal Pandya for a four and took back-to-back boundaries off Suyash Sharma in the 10th over as Mumbai reached 99/2 at the halfway stage, lagging a bit behind RCB, who were 115 for no loss at the same stage. But SKY could not produce a match-defining long innings as he scored 33 off 22 balls before swiping it straight down to Rasikh Salam at backward square leg. Hardik Pandya hammered a six off the first ball from Suyash Sharma and a four a few balls later. A couple of boundaries off Bhuvneshwar Kumar's 11th over, followed by a couple of fours off Suyash, kept Mumbai's hopes alive. But the Mumbai Indians' chase lacked confidence after Rohit walked off injured, and Hardik's heroics too did not last long as he miscued Duffy to Romario Shepherd 41 as MI slumped to 145/4 in the 15th over, leaving Mumbai needing 93 from the last five overs. Rutherford then carried on the fight, reaching his half-century in 26 balls as he remained unbeaten on 71 off 36 balls, hitting one four and nine mighty sixes. Earlier, asked to bat first, Phil Salt came out with guns blazing as he and Virat Kohli raised 100 runs for the opening wicket stand. They scored 13 runs off Trent Boult's opening over, with Kohli blasting him for a six and Salt for a four. After steady scores off Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Boult, Phil Salt welcomed Mitchell Santner by hammering a hat-trick of sixes (first a heave over deep square leg, the next clubbed over wide long-on, and third smashed over deep square leg), followed by a four off his first four deliveries of the match, blasting 22 runs from the over. While Kohli scored at a sedate pace, Salt continued to operate in the third gear, hitting Mayank Markande for a hat-trick of boundaries as he raced to his fifty in 25 balls. A six to celebrate his fifty off Markande in the eighth over meant Salt motored to 61 off just 27 balls. He eventually fell to Shardul Thakur in the 11th over, hitting an easy catch straight to Pandya at extra cover. Salt scored 78 off 36 balls, blasting half a dozen fours and sixes on the way. But there was no respite for the Mumbai Indians as Rajat Patidar took over the role of power-hitter. Starting with a four off Thakur, Patidar smashed a hat-trick of sixes off Markande in the 12th over. He smashed a six and a couple of fours off Thakur as they scored 23 runs off the 13th over and struck a four and six off Boult in the 1th over as he threatened to smash the record for the fastest fifty in IPL history, reaching 44 off 11 balls. Meanwhile, Kohli struggled to a sluggish fifty off 37 balls before Patidar blazed to his half-century from 16 balls, with a streaky four off Santner. Both Kohli and Patidar fell soon after completing their fifties, as the Mumbai Indians applied the brakes as the RCB fell from 185/1 to 194/3 within eight balls. Kohli ended his misery by holing out to Suryakumar Yadav at long-on off Pandya for 50 (38 balls, 5x4, 1x6) while Patidar fell to Santner, attempting to shank him over long-on but miscuing it to Tilak Varma. Patidar hammered four boundaries and five maximums in his 20-ball 53. Things went a bit quiet after that, though Tim David blasted Pandya for a six off a free hit and helped them score fifty runs in the last five overs. David remained unbeaten on 34 off 16 balls, reached with a six off the last ball bowled by Boult, as RCB, who were threatening to go beyond 250 after reaching 115/0 at the halfway mark and 201/3 in 17. Kohli ended his misery by holing out to Suryakumar Yadav at long-on off Pandya for 50 (38 balls, 5x4, 1x6) while Patidar fell to Santner, attempting to shank him over long-on but miscuing it to Tilak Varma. Patidar hammered four boundaries and five maximums in his 20-ball 53.
