IPL 2026: James Hopes Looks To regrouping As PBKS Stay Positive Despite First Loss Of Season
Indian Premier League: Punjab Kings pace-bowling coach James Hopes stressed the need to regroup and recalibrate after the team suffered its first defeat of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season, even as they continue to sit atop the points table. Punjabs unbeaten run came to an end after Rajasthan Royals chased down a daunting 223 in a high-scoring encounter in New Chandigarh. Despite posting 222/4, the Kings were unable to defend the total, marking a rare setback in an otherwise dominant campaign so far. Reflecting on the loss, Hopes termed it a timely reminder for the side as they enter the second half of the tournament. Its a reality check, and thats exactly what it is, said Hopes during the post-match press conference. Weve been flying and winning games, which is great, but youre not going to go through the IPL without a loss. Its about regrouping now. Im not going to sit here and say its doom and gloomits just about getting back to work, ironing out some kinks, and finding the best combinations for the different conditions well face ahead. One of the biggest positives for Punjab was the return to form of all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, who powered the side to a strong total with an unbeaten 62 off just 22 balls, providing the late surge in the innings. Hopes highlighted the importance of such contributions from the middle order as the tournament progresses. Our top order has been flying, but we have a lot of power coming behind them. Tonight, Marcus got his opportunity and took it. It was great to see him get into the tournament properly with the bat, and that kind of finishing power is vital for us as the games get more intense, he added. Punjabs top-order combination has been a key strength this season, with youngsters Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh continuing to provide brisk starts. Hopes was full of praise for the duo and their fearless approach. I don't think those two boys realise exactly how good they are. They are a fantastic young pair, and theyre going to be a dominant partnership in the IPL for a long time. Despite the loss, there were encouraging signs with the ball as well, particularly from spinner Harpreet Brar, who delivered a tight spell in a high-scoring game. Looking ahead, Hopes emphasised the importance of adapting to different conditions as the team prepares to shift venues in the coming phase of the tournament.

IPL 2026: Rajasthan Royals Captain Parag Faces Scrutiny After Vaping Incident
Yudhvir Singh Charak: Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper Riyan Parag has come under fire after being caught vaping on camera during his sides IPL 2026 match against Punjab Kings in New Chandigarh. Footage of Parag, who hit 29 in Tuesdays game, using a vape device in the dressing room while being around his Yashasvi Jaiswal, Yudhvir Singh Charak, and Kuldeep Sen. Footage of Parag, who hit 29 in Tuesdays game, using a vape device in the dressing room while being around his Yashasvi Jaiswal, Yudhvir Singh Charak, and Kuldeep Sen. At that time, RR were chasing 223 and visuals of Parag using vape went viral on social media, prompting serious concerns about player conduct in the ten-team competition. As per the Indian legislation, vaping or the use of e-cigarettes is illegal under The Prohibition of Electronic Cigarettes Act (PECA) 2019. The Act prohibits the production, sale, purchase, import, export and advertisement of e-cigarettes and vapes in India, and any violations lead to imprisonment and hefty fines. Riyan should be handed a ban for this. If he wants to smoke or vape, he can go and do it in the bathroom or an area away from public viewing. What he did sets a very wrong precedent. Also, this is the second time RR will be facing the music for a non onfield thing after Romis device usage issue, an IPL source told IANS on Wednesday. The incident around Parag comes weeks after Bhinder was fined Rs 1 Lakh and given a stern warning for using a mobile phone in the dugout during clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Guwahati. With the storm brewing around Parag, it leaves the franchise facing a second disciplinary storm unrelated to onfield play. Another IPL official told IANS that awareness of behaviour and actions is of utmost importance from the players in an environment where many broadcast cameras are present and are capturing the smallest of details. When so much cameras are around, you have to be aware that anything can be caught and thats why, its on the players to behave well during matches. Riyan could have been a little more careful, considering hes the team captain and has got a lot of success as an active elite sportsperson at a young age, including playing for India. It's a very big deal for an elite athlete to get caught while doing something like this, said the official.

Having said that, another question to be asked is how did Riyan manage to get a vape inside the dressing room? BCCI will have to tread this very carefully, as the content of those ingredients in vape is still a mystery. Though Nicotine isnt banned, the BCCI still needs to take strict action against Riyan for this incident, said a well-placed source in the tournament. Article Source: IANS
'Watch The Ball And Back Your Skills': Ferreira Reveals Message To Dubey In RR's Thrilling Chase
PCA New International Stadium: Rajasthan Royals (RR) finisher Donovan Ferreira opened up on his on-field conversation with Shubham Dubey, revealing how a simple message of watching the ball properly helped power their match-winning partnership against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the PCA New International Stadium on Tuesday. Chasing a daunting 223, RR were under pressure with the required rate hovering between 10 and 12. However, Ferreira and Dubey stitched together an unbeaten 77-run stand off just 32 balls, dismantling the Punjab Kings bowling attack to seal a six-wicket win in 19.2 overs and hand PBKS their first defeat of the season. Especially with Shubham, I just said to him, you know, hes really talented and really skilful, and it just amazes me how simply he just keeps it out there. So I just kept on telling him to just watch the ball and just back his skills because his boundary-hitting ability is amazing, Ferreira said in a video released by Rajasthan Royals on X. Ferreira also revealed there was little time to prepare mentally before walking in to bat. To be fair, there was no discussion, because I just padded up and then came down, and Sango said Im in next, and then I think like two minutes later, Yashasvi Jaiswal lost his wicket, so there wasnt much time to reflect or to think about it. But yeah, I just know for myself I just need to give myself a bit of time, and the game dictates what needs to happen, he explained. Earlier in the chase, 15-year-old sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi gave RR a flying start with 43 off 16 balls, while Jaiswal added a brisk 51. Despite a brief slowdown triggered by Yuzvendra Chahal, the Royals stayed within touching distance of the target. Ferreira emphasised that the chase never felt out of control despite the steep target. No, to be honest, I didnt, because we kept the rate at around 10 to 12 it wasnt like the rate was climbing and climbing and didnt ever get higher than 12, so for us, we didnt really feel like we were behind the ball. I just said we need to keep our intent up; make sure if its a good ball, we could run a two as well. Don't undervalue that, because sometimes in that situation, you lose your shape when you just try and hit sixes the whole time, Ferreira added. Ferreira emphasised that the chase never felt out of control despite the steep target.

Chasing a daunting 223, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) were under pressure with the required rate climbing steeply. But Dubey, alongside Donovan Ferreira, turned the game around with an unbeaten 77-run partnership off just 32 balls to seal the chase in 19.2 overs and hand Punjab Kings (PBKS) their first defeat of the season. I thought Dubey, coming in as an impact player, it's one of the hardest things to do, because you don't know if you're playing. So mentally, he is exceptionally skilful to be able to keep that focus and go and bring the game to us. He went in at a tough position, Sangakkara told reporters after the match. Riyan Parags small innings was exactly what we needed to bring the momentum back over here. So it was a collective effort, he added. Earlier in the chase, 15-year-old sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi provided a blistering start with 43 off 16 balls, while Yashasvi Jaiswal chipped in with a fluent 51. Despite a brief slowdown triggered by Yuzvendra Chahals strikes, RR stayed in contention before their finishers took charge. Sangakkara also underlined the depth in Rajasthans batting unit, insisting the spotlight should not be limited to just Vaibhav. I know the focus is a lot on Vaibhav, and I know why, because hes an incredible player, amazing to watch.

IPL 2026: Rajasthan Royals Skipper Riyan Parag Caught Smoking Inside The Dressing Room
Indian Premier League: Riyan Parag came into the spotlight after videos showing him vaping inside the Rajasthan Royals dressing room went viral during their match against Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 in New Chandigarh on Tuesday. The incident occurred in the 16th over of the second innings when a broadcast camera briefly captured Parag with what looked like a vape. The footage quickly went viral, leading to many fans expressing concern and calling for action. This moment gained even more attention as it came right after Parag got out, having scored 29 runs off 16 balls, failing to capitalise at a key moment in the chase. Since then, the video has circulated widely on social media, raising questions about possible disciplinary measures. Although there is no clear public rule against vaping, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has strict guidelines for player behaviour within stadiums. The use of tobacco or related products in dressing rooms or dugouts is generally banned under health and safety protocols, putting Parag at risk of punishment. This controversy arises when the 24-year-old is already facing challenges, leading the Rajasthan Royals in the 2026 season after Sanju Samson moved to the Chennai Super Kings. Parag has struggled with his batting consistency, scoring only 81 runs in seven innings before this match, which has drawn criticism from fans and former players. Despite the off-field distraction, Rajasthan Royals successfully chased down 222 with six wickets in hand, defeating Punjab Kings and handing them their first loss of the season.

IPL 2026: Dubey And Ferreira Played Really Well, Says PBKS Skipper Iyer After First Defeat
Indian Premier League: Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer praised Donovan Ferreira and Shubham Dubey for playing really well after the Rajasthan Royals served hosts their first defeat of the season in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 in New Chandigarh, on Tuesday. I think 222 was a very good score. It was an exceptional performance, especially on this wicket, which was a bit sticky and slow. We planned to bowl slower and focus on yorkers. I think we fell short there. Also, they played really well, Dubey and Ferreira with that partnership, Iyer said after the match. Punjab Kings had earlier scored 222/4, boosted by an explosive unbeaten 62 off 22 balls from Marcus Stoinis and a solid 59 off 44 from Prabhsimran Singh. Contributions from Iyer (30) and Cooper Connolly (30) kept the innings on track before Stoinis late surge lifted them past 220. However, Rajasthan Royals quickly chased it down with six wickets in hand. This was largely due to a game-changing, unbeaten 77-run partnership off just 32 balls between Donovan Ferreira and Shubham Dubey. Their aggressive play in the final overs turned what looked like a challenging chase into an easy finish. Discussing the challenges bowlers face in this format, Iyer said, In this format, many players have changed their game. Many go big from ball one. It's a big challenge for bowlers to come up with plans. But in the end, its all about execution. Today was just not our day. Rajasthans chase started strongly with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi hitting 43 off 16 balls, followed by a fluent half-century from Yashasvi Jaiswal (51 off 27). Although PBKS briefly fought back during the middle oversparticularly with tight spells from Harpreet Brar and Yuzvendra Chahalthey couldnt finish the game. I think its important that we stick to what we've been doing. We need to follow our process. We finished the game and then had a travel day. The body was also tired. But that can't be the excuse here. We need to get back to the drawing board before coming back, Iyer added when discussing the way forward.

IPL 2026: Unbeaten Ferreira Serves Punjab Kings Their First Defeat
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Donovan Ferreira and Shubham Dubey put together an impressive unbeaten 77-run partnership off just 32 balls to take Rajasthan Royals to a thrilling six-wicket victory over Punjab Kings in the 40th match at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh, on Tuesday. With the game tightly contested after 14 overs and the required run rate exceeding 12, the pair made the chase look easy. Ferreira and Dubey took full advantage when the spinners were out, targeting the pace bowlers. Arshdeep Singh was hit for three fours in his return spell, while Marco Jansen conceded a four and a six. The duo kept up their attack against Arshdeep, showing poise and clean hitting to finish the chase and hand Punjab Kings their first loss of the season. Earlier, Rajasthans chase was energised by a fast start from the 15-year-old sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. After Yashasvi Jaiswal gave him the strike, Sooryavanshi made a strong impression. Despite Arshdeep Singh starting with two accurate yorkers, the young player replied with 6, 4, 4, helping RR score 15 runs in the opening over. He continued his offensive against Lockie Ferguson and Jansen, hitting sixes and boundaries with ease. Sooryavanshi raced to 43 off 16 balls, hitting three fours and five sixes, before Arshdeep changed his angle and got him to slice a low full toss into the air, where Shreyas Iyer took the catch. During his innings, Sooryavanshi reached 400 runs in just 167 balls at an astonishing strike rate of 238.09the fastest any player has scored 400 runs in an IPL season. RR had already surpassed 50 runs in 3.2 overs and reached 66/1 after four overs. Jaiswal, who had been quiet initially, took control after Sooryavanshi's dismissal. He hit 4, 6, 4 against Arshdeep and reached a 27-ball 51, getting his fifty off 26 balls. However, Yuzvendra Chahal made a crucial impact for PBKS, getting Jaiswal out and then dismissing Riyan Parag (29) as RR managed only 25 runs over the next four overs, also losing Dhruv Jurel (16 off 20). Harpreet Brar bowled tightly, giving away just 25 runs in his four overs, but it was Chahals strikes that shifted the momentum. At one point, RR needed 100 runs in 52 balls with the required run rate rising steadily. Nevertheless, Ferreira and Dubey completely turned the tide. With fearless batting and strategic targeting of the seamers, they broke down the PBKS bowling attack during the death overs, ensuring no further setbacks. Earlier in the match, PBKS scored a solid 222/4 after batting first. Jofra Archer started strong, dismissing Priyansh Arya (29), but Prabhsimran Singh anchored the innings with 59 off 44 balls. He received support from Cooper Connolly (30) in a 59-run partnership off 33 balls, while Iyer contributed 30.

In everyday life in Kashmir today, a steady transformation is unfolding. It is visible in homes, in everyday settings, and in the flow of daily life. A person checks the news on a phone, while another follows a lecture on a laptop or tablet. Forms and many routine tasks are now completed online, and new skills are learned or shared across digital platforms. Knowledge no longer remains confined to one place. It moves freely, arriving instantly and becoming part of everyday life. This shift has reshaped how people learn, communicate, and manage their daily tasks. People are not outside this change; they are already living within it. This is simply how life now unfolds. Within this setting, a deeper question emerges: what does it truly mean to be literate in a digital age, especially in a place where learning has always been valued? For a long time, literacy began and ended with reading and writing. That understanding carried dignity and opened doors to knowledge and participation. It shaped how individuals understood the world and expressed themselves within it. But the world has expanded, and the meaning of literacy must expand with it. Today, information does not arrive only through printed pages. It appears as images, short videos, messages, and continuous streams of content. Communication unfolds across platforms that shape how ideas are presented and received. In such an environment, literacy is no longer only about reading words. It is about grasping meaning. It is about knowing how to interpret what appears, how to connect it to reality, and how to use it with care. Digital literacy does not replace traditional learning. It deepens it. Access to digital tools has steadily become part of everyday life. As in many parts of the country, including Kashmir, phones, laptops, tablets, and other connected devices have created new pathways for learning, work, and communication. People today can explore subjects beyond their immediate surroundings, access services, and stay connected with others across distances. This is a meaningful opportunity. However, access alone does not guarantee clarity. Information now appears in large volumes, often without structure or pause. It moves quickly, encouraging constant attention without allowing time to reflect. In such a space, the challenge is not finding information. The challenge is making sense of it. Digital literacy begins with something simple. The ability to pause.To ask where information comes from.To question why it appears in a certain way. To think about what it really means. These are small actions, but they change everything. They create space between information and understanding. Without that space, information overwhelms. With it, information becomes useful. Simply, digital literacy is not about tools. It is about thinking. This understanding is reinforced by research from leading global institutions. Organisations such as UNESCO describe digital literacy as a combination of technical skill and critical thinking. The World Economic Forum recognises it as essential for navigating modern life. Research from universities in the United States and the United Kingdom, including Stanford University and the University of Oxford, shows that many users find it difficult to judge the reliability of online information and are often influenced by how content is presented. The conclusion is straightforward. Access alone is not enough. The ability to think carefully, question information, and understand context remains essential. In many parts of India, the impact of digital literacy is becoming visible in everyday lives. Initiatives supported by organisations such as the World Bank and the Self Employed Womens Association have helped people use digital tools with confidence. One example is RitikaKumari from Rajasthans Dungarpur district. After receiving digital skills training through SEWA, she began using her phone for practical tasks such as online purchases and navigation. These skills allowed her to become more independent in her daily life and less dependent on others. Her experience reflects a wider shift in how digital skills are used in daily life. During difficult periods such as the pandemic, many people across the country were able to continue their work, stay connected, and manage daily needs through digital tools. Basic training in communication, transactions, and information use made a real difference. As noted by the World Bank, digital inclusion has become essential for participation in modern life. This example highlights something simple but important. The value of digital literacy lies not only in access, but in the ability to use it with clarity and confidence. People in Kashmir are part of this wider flow of information. They are learning, observing, sharing, and engaging in ways that reflect curiosity and adaptability. This is a strength. Digital literacy does not question this engagement. It supports it. It offers direction without limitation. It encourages thoughtful interaction with information rather than passive acceptance. It allows learning and participation to remain open, while becoming more aware. Digital platforms shape how information is experienced. They present content quickly, continuously, and often in ways designed to hold attention. This makes access easier, but it also creates a challenge. When information moves too quickly, reflection becomes difficult. When content is selected for attention, it is not always selected for depth or accuracy. A simple response to this is enough. Pause. Think. Reflect. This small habit can change how information is understood. Digital literacy contributes to this by encouraging awareness not only of information, but also of how it may be interpreted and used. It develops over time through experience and reflection, with families, educators, and society all playing a role. Encouraging thoughtful use of technology does not require strict oversight, but simple engagement through asking questions, listening, and reflecting, helping to build clarity and confidence while supporting a balanced and responsible approach to digital use. There has always been a deep respect for learning in Kashmir. Knowledge has never been seen as mere information, but as something meaningful, something to reflect upon, something to carry forward with care. That understanding remains important even as the form of learning changes. Digital literacy continues this tradition in a new way. It asks for awareness, reflection, and careful engagement with the world as it exists today. What truly matters in Kashmir is understanding. Not simply the ability to access information, but the ability to engage with it meaningfully. Digital literacy is not a complex idea. It is a steady habit. The habit of asking questions, reflecting on meaning, and using information with care. In a world where information is constant, understanding gives it value. It shapes how individuals live, communicate, and move forward. In the end, what matters most is not how much information is available, but how well it is understood. Suhaib Bakshi is an engineer who writes on digital literacy.

IPL 2026: Stoinis, Prabhsimran Fifties Guide PBKS To 222/4 Against RR
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: A late blitz from Australia all-rounder Marcus Stoinis (62 off 22 deliveries) and Prabhsimaran Singhs 59 helped Punjab Kings reach 222/4 in 20 overs against Rajasthan Royals in Match 40 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh. Prabhsimran Singh led by example with a determined half-century, helping Punjab Kings stabilise their innings after a strong start and guiding them through the middle phase before he was finally dismissed. Punjab started aggressively, even though Jofra Archer is known for making early breakthroughs. While Archer didnt take a wicket in the first over, Prabhsimran hit a boundary, bringing the score to 8/0. Meanwhile, Priyansh Arya made a spectacular contribution. With a Power-play strike rate of 260.27, Arya attacked Nandre Burger fearlessly, including an incredible backfoot six over covers. Burger ended up giving away 21 runs in one over. The battle between Arya and Archer was intense. After surviving a couple of chances, one in the vacant slip and another that was dropped, Arya kept attacking until Archer delivered a 150.1 kph ball to get him out, ending Aryas rapid innings and winning their duel. With Arya out, Prabhsimran took control. He maintained his aggressive style with a powerplay strike rate of 188.57, targeting Burger again and scoring 19 runs off 10 balls, helping PBKS reach 65/1 by the end of the powerplay. Burger had a rough outing, giving up 45 runs in his first three overs, while Archer and Brijesh Sharma kept it tighter. Prabhsimran continued to apply pressure in the middle overs, facing both pace and spin. He hit a straight six and a huge shot over deep midwicket against the inexperienced Punja. He then went after Ravindra Jadeja with clean hitting down the ground and through the offside. However, wickets fell at the other end. Punja took two wickets, first dismissing Cooper Connolly with a well-disguised googly that led to a mistimed shot, showing promising control despite earlier giving up boundaries. Meanwhile, Prabhsimran reached his fourth fifty of the season, achieving the milestone in 35 balls. Although it wasn't his smoothest innings, reflected in a control percentage of 78, he fought through edges and mistimed shots to hold the innings together after Aryas dismissal. He moved into the 40s with two boundaries off Archer and completed his fifty with a single off Jadeja. Punja returned and made the breakthrough, getting Prabhsimran out after a key knock of 57, finishing with figures of 2/41. Skipper Iyer struggled, continued from the other side, ultimately falling to Burger for 30 off 27 deliveries. Rajasthan Royals bowlers regrouped in the middle overs. Ravindra Jadeja finished with 0/32, Punja had 2/41, and Brijesh Sharma ended with 0/42, all maintaining control with disciplined spells. Jofra Archer recorded 1/40. However, Marcus Stoinis changed the game at the end. He scored 24 runs in the final over off Archer, hitting two sixes and three fours. Earlier, Stoinis teamed up with skipper Shreyas Iyer for a 37-run partnership. Iyer scored 30 off 27 balls and struggled with timing. Stoinis then delivered an amazing unbeaten 62 off 22 balls, which included four fours and six sixes, helping Punjab Kings surpass the 200-run mark. Marcis Stoinis smoked back-to-back sixes to Archer in the 19th over and then came back to hurt Brijesh Sharma, who was having a good evening. Sharma, who started with a dot, was punished for back-to-back maximums, only to be followed by back-to-back boundaries by Stoinis, who finished on 62 off 22 deliveries. He scored 24 runs in the final over off Archer, hitting two sixes and three fours. Earlier, Stoinis teamed up with skipper Shreyas Iyer for a 37-run partnership.

Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to field against Punjab Kings in the 40th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh, on Tuesday. Shimron Hetmyer and Ravi Bishnoi have been replaced by Dasun Shanaka and Yash Punja in the eleven for Rajasthan. For Punjab, Suryansh Shedge and Lockie Ferguson come in for Shashank Singh and Xavier Bartlett. Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag said, We are going to bowl first. Looks like a pretty good wicket. But there was a bit of cloud cover and a bit of a shower as well. A little bit of moisture at the start. We are trying to strike that to get some early wickets. Hopefully chase it down. 2 changes, Hetmyer sits out, Dasun Shanaka comes in. Ravi Bishnoi goes out, Yash Punja comes in. It is very hard to practice that, but everyone's played a lot of cricket, and you have to really keep your nerve in a pressure situation and test your character. Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer said, We would have loved to bowl first as well. I asked one of my team members. The wicket was covered for the last few days because of the weather. All of us are proactive, irrespective of whether we are bowling first or second. We have one forced change. Suryansh comes in place of Shashank. Also, Lockie comes in place of Xavier. All the individuals have goals to achieve. We know what we have to do to achieve those goals. It's important to keep the momentum. On behalf of the whole team, I want to express my condolences to Azmat and his family for the loss. We are with him during this hard time.

IPL 2026: 'If I Get The Chance, I Will Be 100 Percent Ready,' Says GT Keeper-batter Anuj Rawat
Anuj Rawat: Left-handed wicketkeeper-batter Anuj Rawat is yet to get game time in IPL 2026, but the Gujarat Titans wicketkeeper-batter insists he is 100 percent ready whenever hes called to play an IPL game for the 2022 champions and credited the franchise's rigorous training culture for keeping him sharp. With GT sitting on eight points and fifth place in the second half of the season, Rawat said the mood inside the camp is anything but subdued. As you can see, we have eight points and we are almost halfway through the season. So, I think the atmosphere of the team and the way we are going with two points recently, I can see a lot of positivity, Rawat told IANS in an exclusive conversation on Tuesday. The call for Rawat being retained by GT support staff led by head coach Ashish Nehra brought immediate reassurance and the happiness of being in the same side for the IPL instead of the possibility of making a fresh start elsewhere. There was no specific message like that, but there was a conversation that we will retain you. As soon as our sir's call and message came, he said that we are retaining you ahead of the auction. So, this was the only conversation. Definitely, I was very happy because you will represent that franchise again with which you have already been with for a season. So, I think that thing helps a lot because if you go to a new franchise, then you have to come back to a new setup. Everything in it - the coaching staff is different, the environment is different. If you are being retained for the same franchise, then there are a lot of things that are in your favour, he elaborated. Delhi-based Rawat, who has 318 runs in 24 IPL games, reserved particular praise for the culture in GT, which stands in contrast with his previous stints in the tournament. I think when I was in the last franchise, I was in a different room. So, the atmosphere of a dressing room is very much similar. But the GT dressing room environment is very friendly and this is the thing that makes GT different from other franchises, he said. One notable thread of continuity from his Rajasthan Royals days has been his association with veteran wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler, who now turns out alongside him at GT. I was with him when I was in Rajasthan and now I got a chance to play alongside him in GT. So, our bonding from the time at Rajasthan is still very similar. Our bond is very good. You get to learn a lot of things when you practice with him and do wicket keeping drills. He is a legend and there are definitely some small things that you learn from him, Rawat said. On the challenge of staying match-ready without regular game time, Rawat acknowledged the mental and physical discipline it demands. I think this is the most difficult thing if you are not playing and you are in a team setup. But I think this is also a specialty of a cricketer - if you are not playing, how do you aim to be complete in your preparation, as whenever you get a chance, you have to be 100 percent ready. So, I think it is very important as a cricketer that if you are not getting a chance, you still have to be 100 percent ready and be involved in that setup and aim to be 100 percent ready in your preparation, he said. Rawat also reflected on the transition between IPL and domestic cricket, where the real shift is in intensity. There is not much difference when one goes to domestic cricket after an IPL season. There is a slight difference, but then there is a little more pressure. The atmosphere and pressure that we talk about in cricket, a little bit of difference remains, he said. He further stated GT's training methods had raised his overall game and shaped his approach to playing domestic cricket as well. On the field, I felt a very vast difference when I came to GT. One thing is that you have to prepare a lot here. In the time I have played in all the franchises, all the practice sessions and preparations here are conducted a lot more and are done little differently too. So, I think that reflects in your off-season as well. After that, when you go for the domestic season, I realized this time that the extensive preparation I went through at GT has been very helpful, Rawat said.

We have discussed the possibility of exploring an exchange of players between the Danish cricket teams, the Danish Cricket Association, and the RCA here in Rajasthan. I will go back and discuss this with the Danish Cricket Association, and hopefully we can make a more formal agreement after this, he told IANS. RCA official Ashish Tiwary said the talks with the visiting Danish delegation were highly encouraging and could pave the way for long-term cooperation aimed at developing the sport. We had very positive discussions with them, and their support towards taking cricket forward in Rajasthan has been extremely encouraging. They are keen that we work together to grow the sport, Tiwary told reporters. He added that a key highlight of the proposed collaboration is a structured exchange programme involving young cricketers from both regions. As part of this initiative, our children will travel to Denmark, while young players from Denmark will come to Rajasthan.
