'We are going to ... ': Yashasvi Jaiswal's short reaction after RR collapse
Yashasvi Jaiswal's first IPL captaincy ended in a crushing 77-run defeat for Rajasthan Royals against Gujarat Titans. Despite a strong start from GT's Gill and Sudharsan, RR's bowling attack struggled, and their batting lineup was subsequently bundled out for 152. Jaiswal defended star pacer Jofra Archer, acknowledging the unpredictable nature of cricket.
IPL 2026: Jaiswal Says Team Must learn From This Game After RRs Loss To GT
Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Rajasthan Royals stand-in captain Yashasvi Jaiswal backed his struggling bowling unit and refused to single out individuals after the side slumped to a crushing 77-run defeat against the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. Rajasthan were completely outplayed after Gujarat piled up 229/4 on the back of a dominant opening partnership between Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill before Rashid Khan ripped through the chase with a four-wicket haul. Reflecting on how difficult it became once Gujarats openers settled in, Jaiswal admitted Rajasthan struggled to contain the flow of boundaries. We were just thinking to bowl in good areas and they were batting pretty well. So we were just thinking how we can cut down the boundaries or big shots. So I think it was pretty good from them, Jaiswal said after the match. The Royals were under pressure from the outset, as Sudharsan and Gill attacked aggressively during the powerplay and maintained momentum through the middle overs. Rajasthans pace attack, including Jofra Archer, failed to build pressure consistently on a batting-friendly Jaipur surface. Archer, who has been among Rajasthans key bowlers this season, endured a rare off day and went wicketless while conceding heavily. However, Jaiswal firmly defended the England quick and said poor outings are part of the game. Its cricket. We all know that theres some days where you are in, theres some days where you cannot bowl how you want. But hes been doing so well for us, I think. So I think hell be coming back very strongly, he said. Rajasthans bowling combination had also drawn attention before the match after the franchise opted to leave out left-arm pacer Nandre Burger. Asked whether that was a difficult selection decision, Jaiswal said the management simply focused on the bowling plans for the powerplay. I actually didnt think that much. I had simple plan who is my bowler and who can give me some good overs in the powerplay. So nothing much from my end, Jaiswal stated. Despite the heavy defeat, Rajasthan briefly threatened to pull off a remarkable chase after teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi blasted 36 off 16 balls and Dhruv Jurel smashed 24 off 10 deliveries in a fiery powerplay. The hosts raced to 78/3 in six overs before Gujarats spin attack turned the game completely. Rashid dismissed Jurel and later removed Ravindra Jadeja and others as Rajasthan collapsed from a promising position to 152 all out in 16.3 overs. Jaiswal, however, chose not to dwell too much on the defeat and instead stressed the importance of learning quickly before the next fixture.

IPL 2024: Rashids Four-fer, Gills 84 Help GT Thrash RR By 77-run
Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Gujarat Titans produced a commanding all-round performance to crush Rajasthan Royals by 77 runs in their IPL 2026 clash at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday, with Rashid Khan starring in a dramatic middle-overs collapse after Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill powered the visitors to a massive total of 229/4. In a contest that swung wildly across phases, Rajasthan threatened an extraordinary chase during a breathtaking powerplay before Gujarats spinners completely dismantled the innings to bowl the hosts out for 152 in 16.3 overs. The foundation for Gujarats emphatic victory was laid by Sudharsan and Gill, who once again showcased why they have become one of the most dependable opening pairs of the season. Batting on a fresh Jaipur surface that initially offered true bounce and pace, the duo attacked aggressively from the outset and denied Rajasthan any control with the new ball. Jofra Archer and Tushar Deshpande struggled for rhythm early, while the Gujarat openers capitalised ruthlessly whenever width or length was offered. Sudharsan was particularly fluent square of the wicket, whereas Gill mixed timing with placement in another composed captains knock. The pair ensured Gujarat dominated the powerplay before accelerating further through the middle overs. Rajasthan briefly regained some control after Sudharsans dismissal, but Gujarats finishing surge ensured the innings never lost momentum as they crossed the 225-run mark comfortably. Chasing 230, Rajasthan responded with astonishing aggression. Teenage opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi lit up Jaipur immediately by launching Mohammed Siraj for a six in the opening over and continued his fearless assault against Kagiso Rabada. The left-hander played outrageous attacking strokes on both sides of the wicket, racing to 36 off just 16 deliveries with three fours and three sixes. Even after Yashasvi Jaiswal miscued a pull to depart for just three runs, Rajasthan refused to slow down. Dhruv Jurel arrived with attacking intent and produced one of the most explosive passages of the chase when he hammered Siraj for 22 runs in the fifth over, including three towering sixes and a boundary. At 78/3 after six overs, despite the wickets of Sooryavanshi, Jaiswal and Shimron Hetmyer, Rajasthan still appeared firmly in the contest with the required rate manageable and momentum temporarily in their favour. That changed completely once Gujarat introduced spin. Sai Kishore immediately slowed the tempo with clever changes of pace and angles before Rashid Khan delivered the decisive blow. The Afghanistan leg-spinner removed the dangerous Jurel with a googly that sneaked under the bat and then struck again a couple of balls later by bowling Donovan Ferreira. From there, Rajasthans innings unravelled rapidly. Washington Sundar tightened the squeeze from one end while Rashid operated with increasing menace from the other. Shubham Dubey briefly counterattacked with a six over midwicket, but Rashid responded instantly by bowling him with a quicker delivery that turned sharply back in. Ravindra Jadeja attempted to keep Rajasthan alive with a spirited 38 off 25 balls, sweeping and pulling boundaries to briefly resist Gujarats charge. However, the asking rate kept climbing sharply as Gujarats spinners extracted grip and uneven pace from the ageing surface. Rashid eventually ended Jadejas resistance in the 14th over with a successful lbw review to complete his four-wicket haul and effectively finish the contest. By then, Rajasthan needed over 15 an over and had lost all momentum. Jason Holder then wrapped up the tail efficiently, dismissing Jofra Archer, Dasun Shanaka and Tushar Deshpande to seal a crushing victory with 21 balls to spare.

Opener Sai Sudharsan: Opener Sai Sudharsan said Gujarat Titans aggressive mindset in the powerplay and his strong understanding with captain Shubman Gill played a key role in setting up the sides massive first-innings total against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026 on Saturday. Sudharsan struck a fluent 55 off 36 deliveries while sharing a commanding 118-run opening partnership with Gill as Gujarat Titans posted an imposing 229/4 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Reflecting on the batting conditions, Sudharsan said the pitch was excellent for strokeplay initially before becoming slower as the innings progressed. At the start, the wicket was really good, but once the ball got rough, I think it started to turn a bit and it was a bit slow actually, Sudharsan said after the innings. The left-handed opener also revealed Gujarat Titans had identified the importance of capitalising on the new ball against Rajasthans pace attack, including the threat posed by Jofra Archer. Its always a great challenge playing against Jofra, but we had it in our mind, if an over started really well for us, we went for the over and it happened very well in the powerplay, he said. Archer endured a difficult opening spell as Gujarat Titans raced to 82/0 in six overs, their joint-highest powerplay total in IPL history. Sudharsan was particularly severe on anything loose, striking six fours and two sixes during his innings. Despite the strong start, Sudharsan acknowledged that the surface became more demanding for strokeplay against slower deliveries and spin as the innings progressed. No, I think the team will be planning for that, but therell be a lot of slower ones, a lot of cutters. If we look to spin the ball well, I think its not so easy to hit on this wicket, he explained while speaking about the bowling approach Gujarat Titans could adopt in the chase. Sudharsan and Gill maintained an attacking approach throughout their partnership, regularly taking on the bowlers without allowing Rajasthan Royals to settle into defensive lines. We were very free, to be honest. Me and Shubman, we were going after the bowlers. There was no hesitation or resistance when we went on to bat, Sudharsan said. We had a very good powerplay. We should have had a very good middle overs. I think I lost my wicket at the right time for the RR team. We could have had maybe a bigger partnership, he added. The opener also spoke highly of his understanding with Gill, with the pair continuing one of the most productive opening combinations in the IPL. I think we share a very good partnership with each other, a very good relationship. And I feel I look up to a lot of things from Shubman, Sudharsan said. The opener also spoke highly of his understanding with Gill, with the pair continuing one of the most productive opening combinations in the IPL.

IPL 2026: Gill, Sudharsan Power GT To Commanding 229/4 Against RR
Captain Shubman Gill: Captain Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan struck commanding half-centuries before late fireworks from Washington Sundar propelled Gujarat Titans to a formidable 229/4 against Rajasthan Royals in their IPL 2026 clash at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. After being put in to bat by Rajasthan Royals stand-in skipper Yashasvi Jaiswal, GT made a blistering start and never allowed the hosts to regain control on a batting-friendly surface in Jaipur. The tone for the innings was set in a chaotic opening over from Jofra Archer, who leaked 18 runs, including nine extras. Sai Sudharsan immediately capitalised on the loose bowling, driving and cutting with authority, while Gill settled in quickly at the other end. Rajasthans bowlers struggled badly with their lines in the powerplay as GT raced to 82 without loss in six overs, their joint-highest powerplay total in IPL history. Sudharsan was particularly fluent, punishing anything on his pads and taking on both pace and spin with ease. Gill soon joined the assault, hammering Archer for a six and two boundaries in the fifth over to further tilt the momentum decisively in Gujarats favour. The opening pair brought up 100 in just 8.1 overs and continued to dominate Rajasthans attack with intelligent strokeplay and sharp running between the wickets. Their partnership also entered the IPL record books as Gill and Sudharsan registered their sixth century stand as an opening pair in the tournament. Yash Raj Punja finally provided Rajasthan a breakthrough in the 11th over when Sudharsan mistimed a lofted shot to long-on after a superb 55 off 36 balls, studded with six fours and two sixes. The left-handers dismissal ended a massive 108-run opening partnership that laid the perfect platform for a huge total. Gill, however, continued to dictate terms with elegant strokeplay and brought up his fourth fifty of the season. Jos Buttler looked threatening during his brief stay, smashing a six and a boundary before falling to Ravindra Jadeja for 13. Gill accelerated further in the death overs and looked set for a century before falling for a superb 84 off just 44 deliveries. His innings included nine boundaries and three sixes and kept the Gujarat Titans on course for a 230-plus total. After Gills dismissal, Washington Sundar took charge with a powerful late cameo. The left-hander struck boundaries cleanly against both pace and spin, including successive fours and sixes off Brijesh Sharma before finishing unbeaten on 37 from 20 balls. Rahul Tewatia then delivered the finishing touches with two sixes in the final over as Gujarat Titans smashed 21 runs off the last six balls to finish on a daunting 229/4.

You Have To Trust Your Skills: Rashid Focused On Consistency As GT Eye Strong Finish To League Stage
Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Gujarat Titans all-rounder Rashid Khan said the team is not looking too far ahead to the IPL 2026 playoffs and remains fully focused on maintaining consistency and improving with every game as the tournament enters its decisive phase. Speaking ahead of GTs clash against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday, Rashid also expressed satisfaction with his own bowling form and stressed the importance of trusting his skills against aggressive batters. The Afghanistan leg-spinner has been a key figure in GTs bowling attack over the years and said he was pleased with the way he has performed since rejoining the squad this season. Absolutely. Since joining the squad, Ive simply tried to contribute as much as possible to the team's cause, and it feels great, Rashid said while reflecting on his performances after the Delhi game. As far as my landing is concerned, the ball is pitching exactly where I want it to; so, Im quite happy with my performance so far. I will continue to strive to perform well in all the upcoming matches for the team, he added. Gujarat Titans come into the encounter on the back of three consecutive victories and remain firmly in contention for a playoff place. However, Rashid insisted the side is not looking to change its approach despite the winning momentum. Theres no need to do anything differently today. We will simply continue doing what weve been doing since the very first match, constantly striving to improve upon it, he said. Its not a case of simply maintaining the status quo just because were winning; even when youre on a winning streak, there are always specific areas where you can aim for further improvement. So, wherever we spot an opportunity - or wherever weve executed things well in previous matches - we focus on refining those aspects, he added. Beyond that, we just enjoy our cricket and aim to deliver a strong collective performance as a team, Rashid said. The veteran spinner also acknowledged the challenge posed by Rajasthan Royals opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has impressed with his aggressive approach this season. Its definitely a challenge. Given the way he played last year, and the mindset with which hes approaching the game this season, it can certainly be a bit difficult for a bowler, Rashid said. However, you have to place your trust in your own skills and the hard work youve put in. Against a batsman of that caliber, I believe the key is to execute your good balls with even greater precision, he added. In my view, the better you bowl, the better the results you will get. That remains my sole focus: to bowl well and consistently hit the right areas, he further explained. With the playoff race tightening, Rashid said Gujarat Titans are deliberately avoiding discussions around qualification scenarios and are instead taking one match at a time. Not really - thats still quite a way off. I think our focus right now is simply on our upcoming match, he said when asked if the team had started defining roles keeping the playoffs in mind.

IPL 2026: Shubman Gill-Sai Sudharsan equal all-time IPL record
Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan achieved a significant milestone for Gujarat Titans, registering their sixth century partnership for the opening wicket in IPL 2026. This remarkable feat against Rajasthan Royals matches the IPL record held by legendary opening pairs from Sunrisers Hyderabad. The duo's dominant performance once again provided a strong foundation for their team.
Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Jos Buttler said enjoying the game and embracing competition has become his biggest motivation at this stage of his career as the Gujarat Titans wicketkeeper-batter reflected on form, leadership and facing his former franchise, the Rajasthan Royals, at the IPL 2026 on Saturday. Ahead of Gujarat Titans clash against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday, Buttler also credited GTs bowling unit for the teams recent strong performances in the tournament. Gujarat Titans head into the contest after registering three consecutive wins and are firmly in the race for a playoff spot. Reflecting on the sides momentum, Buttler said the bowlers have played a defining role in their success. No massive changes. I think the boys have been bowling really well. I think that's been one of the hallmarks of the few performances that we've had, Buttler said. We've taken a lot of wickets and restricted sides. So that's been a huge plus. And then we've had a little break, so five days or six days since the last game. And a huge game today against the Royals, he added. The England batter spent several successful seasons with Rajasthan Royals before moving to Gujarat Titans, but said facing his former side does not add any extra motivation beyond the importance of the contest itself. I don't really. I think you want to win every game, don't you? Buttler said when asked if playing against the Rajasthan Royals carried additional significance. But, you know, spent a few good seasons there. But today's a massive game when you look at the table and getting to the business end of it. So big two points for whoever takes it, he added. Buttler, one of the most experienced overseas players in the IPL, said his current focus is on enjoying cricket while also helping younger players develop through his experience. Oh, winning, being competitive and winning, Buttler said when asked what motivates him now. And just trying to be really content at this stage, you've experienced lots of things, all the highs and lows that you think the game can throw at you. And now it's just time to really enjoy it and really enjoy the competition, really, invest yourself in the team and try and share a bit of wisdom with the younger guys coming through and just to really enjoy this phase of your career. It's about enjoying it, he added. Buttler also opened up on the changes he made following a difficult phase in recent months, admitting he had been trying too hard during the World Cup period before simplifying his approach ahead of IPL 2026. And just trying to be really content at this stage, you've experienced lots of things, all the highs and lows that you think the game can throw at you.

It's about enjoying it, he added. Also Read: Live Cricket Score So I just needed some space from the game, which was nice in between that and here. And then every time you come to the IPL, the practice facilities are so good. There's so much resource for practice.

I carried a lot of drinks- Donovan Ferreira opens up on long wait for opportunities
Donovan Ferreira credits his IPL success this season to years of waiting for opportunities. Having finally secured regular game time with Rajasthan Royals, the South African batter is relishing his role as a finisher. His fearless hitting in the death overs has been crucial, fueled by a strong desire to prove himself after limited chances in previous seasons.
I Carried A Lot Of Drinks In First Three Seasons: Donovan Ferreira On What Motivated Him In IPL 2026
Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Rajasthan Royals batter Donovan Ferreira said the lack of opportunities in his first three IPL seasons has become a major source of motivation for him as he looks to make a bigger impact for the franchise in IPL 2026. Ahead of Rajasthan Royals clash against Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday, Ferreira reflected on his role as a finisher and the confidence he has gained from finally getting consistent chances in the tournament. The hard-hitting South African has made a habit of clearing the ropes at the death this season, with 11 of his 16 sixes coming between overs 17 and 20. Asked about his effectiveness in the final overs, Ferreira responded with humour. I don't really know. It must just be the middle of my bat. Or they're just sending me better bats. No, I think it's just worked out that way, swinging nice and hard. And it leaves me nice and refreshed now, like a CAR battery like a fully charged CAR battery after a full break. So yeah, ready to play today and hopefully we can get a bit more success today, Ferreira said ahead of the clash. Ferreira has often been deployed as a lower middle-order aggressor for Rajasthan Royals, a role that demands immediate impact, particularly if the top order fails to capitalise. Speaking about handling that responsibility, the 27-year-old said it is a position he has embraced throughout his career. I mean, that is kind of my role in the team and that's what I've got time. So, I think it is exciting for me to be in that role. I've always been in that role my whole career. So it's just nice when it comes off because when it doesn't come off, you look kind of, how can I say, it doesn't look great. But yeah, for me, it's been coming off, so hopefully it can continue going forward, he added. Ferreira also revealed that his limited appearances in previous IPL seasons have fuelled his determination to succeed this year. Having spent much of his earlier campaigns on the sidelines, he said, finally getting opportunities has given him renewed purpose. I think for me, especially in the IPL, a big motivator has been, this has been my fourth season now and I haven't really gotten a lot of opportunity. I carried a lot of drinks in the first three seasons, he said. Ferreira also revealed that his limited appearances in previous IPL seasons have fuelled his determination to succeed this year.

Most of the games that we have played there have been pretty close. So, it's all about doing that extra effort, putting that, you know, if something is going well for you, having the belief to be able to have that execution. Yeah, I mean, we're going to see how the first couple of overs, 2-3 overs go. There's obviously a par score and then you want to get 10-15 extra on top of the pass score to give that extra cushion to the bowlers.

'Its Just You, The Batter And The Ball': RRs Yash Raj Punja On Handling IPL Pressure
Yash Raj Punja: Rajasthan Royals (RR) bowler Yash Raj Punja said staying calm and focusing on one ball at a time has helped him deal with the pressure of playing in the Indian Premier League, adding that performing in crunch situations gives you a much bigger reward. Theres always a reward on the other side of pressure. The bigger the pressure, the bigger the reward. And the thing we do to combat the pressure is just to stay in the moment and take it ball by ball, Punja said in a video released by IPL on X. The youngster also described the unique feeling of bowling in front of packed IPL crowds, saying the atmosphere strangely helps him concentrate better once he steps into his run-up. There were nerves leading up to my over. But maybe its a thing of the IPL where the moment youre in the middle and youre bowling and youre in your run-up, its like the outside world just shuts down. You cant hear the noise, you cant hear the music, you cant hear anything else. Its just you, the batsman and the ball, he explained. Punja, who comes from the UAE cricket system, said playing in the IPL had always been a major dream for aspiring cricketers back home. No surprise to say that the IPL is the biggest cricket league in the world. And coming from the UAE, where a few kids would dream of being in the IPL as cricketers in the UAE, I just wanted to do whatever it takes to be a part of the best league in the world, he said. The spinner also spoke about the benefits of moving from being a net bowler to becoming part of the Rajasthan Royals squad, highlighting the support he has received from senior players in the dressing room. Coming from being a net bowler to a player in the team, theres obviously a lot more perks. Being able to talk one-on-one with Sanju sir, Jaddu bhai, Yash bhai and Riyan bhai has been great, whether it is spin bowling with Jaddu bhai or fielding, he said. Punja also praised teammate Ravi Bishnoi for bringing energy and humour to the squad atmosphere. Ravi bhai is a really funny guy. He knows how to lighten up the dressing room. Just from nowhere, hell say something or do something, and hell have the whole dressing room cracking up, Punja said. The youngster also spoke about Rajasthan Royals Pink Promise initiative match, which supports women-led transformation programmes across Rajasthan. Tomorrow weve got the Pink Promise match coming up, where once a year we support Pink during a match to support a woman-led transformation all across Rajasthan, he said. Punja signed off by reiterating his commitment towards Rajasthan Royals and his ambition to one day play for India.

Kolkata Knight Riders: Delhi Capitals left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc said he has settled back into the rhythm of T20 cricket and hopes to spark a turnaround in momentum as his side prepares to face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Friday. Seventh-placed DC have eight points and need to break their four-game losing streak at home if they are to be alive in the race to the playoffs. Starc joined DC from their clash against the Rajasthan Royals last week and has picked up three wickets in two games. It took me sort of the first game to get up to speed with T20 again, but the third game for me, and hopefully we can change a bit of our momentum as well. Oh, easy to say coming from a 36yearold with some experience, but I just feel like I've gotten to a place where I could make sure I tick all the boxes of things that I feel like I need to execute skillwise. I've always kind of had that fitness side where I feel like I know what I need to get my body right from a fitness perspective in terms of the gym and the running and time on legs. I could do what I needed to do in terms of T20 cricket with the execution of yorkers, the different skill sets over four overs, not so much the workload side of things, but more about executing the different balls required in this format of the game, Starc said in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. On the challenge of bowling in the powerplay, Starc explained: I guess it's about getting your head around the size of the grounds here and the wickets and sort of taking, I guess we've heard it time again, taking the ego out of it in terms of the bowling side of things. I guess there's a lot of expectation on the batters these days. You're looking at scores of 250plus or scores over 200 a lot of the time. So the expectation there is there for the batters. In terms of the bowlers, it's trying to stay a step ahead, trying not to be too predictable. We know that the runs are going to flow at times in the power play. It's just trying to take those wickets and trying to get into that middle order through a power play is the best way to stem the flow of runs. So you've got to take the luck when you've got it, but also try and, I guess, not get too far down when the ball does tend to flow around a little bit. Assessing the pitches in New Delhi, where varied surfaces have been on offer in the competition so far, Starc, who won IPL 2024 with KKR, stated that adaptability will be the key to break their hoodoo at home. I watched a couple from the sides when I first got here. I guess the thing that we've taken from this ground is that we've had a different wicket every time we've played here. So I guess it's adapting the quickest out of the teams, and we probably haven't done that to the best of our abilities at home so far this year. I think we're playing on the wicket that was the Punjab game, which I was here at and watched. If it's like that game, it might be nice for batting. But I think it's taking out what's happened in terms of our season or games here and just approaching this game with the best of our ability. KKR wicketkeeper-batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi said every clash is important for them to have a slight chance at entering the playoffs. I think every game from now on is very important. I think I value it (the ongoing season) by the team's success, and I think it was tough at first, but we're finally getting going. If it's like that game, it might be nice for batting. But I think it's taking out what's happened in terms of our season or games here and just approaching this game with the best of our ability. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I think it's very important, and it's been really good. I think I haven't been thinking about that too much.

New Delhi, May 08: Operation Sindoor is a testament to the swift, precise, and joint response of the Indian Defence Forces to safeguard national interests, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh as he called upon the Commanders of the three Services to remain future-ready by learning from the operation as well as the current global security landscape. Addressing the second edition of Joint Commanders Conference in Jaipur, Rajasthan on May 08, 2026, he described Op Sindoor as a short-duration, deep-penetration, high-intensity, and high-impact operation which showcased Indias ability to compel its adversary to surrender. The operation was a demonstration of Indias growing capabilities and a symbol of the nations collective resolve & new military ethos, he added. Defence Minister underscored the need to strengthen capabilities in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, data analytics and secure communication networks to stay prepared in the rapidly evolving geopolitical security scenario. He emphasised that future conflicts will increasingly be shaped by hybrid threats, information dominance and operations conducted simultaneously across cyber, space, electromagnetic & cognitive domains. Highlighting the transformative impact of emerging technologies, he stressed on the importance of ensuring integrated national preparedness across all spectrums of conflict. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh appreciated the progress achieved in enhancing jointness, integration and technological adoption across the three Services. He stated that jointness constitutes a pivotal dimension within the transformative changes sweeping across the global defence sector. Future wars will not be won solely through weaponry, but through innovative thinking and enhanced synergy, he said. Defence Minister exhorted the Commanders to cultivate the element of surprise to remain unpredictable to the nations adversaries and secure a strategic edge in any given situation. He, however, urged them to remain vigilant of the element of surprise of the enemy and always stay two steps ahead. Defence Minister reiterated Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Governments commitment to enhancing the capabilities of the defence forces through state-of-the-art weapons and platforms. He added that special focus is being laid on research in niche domains. During the conference, Defence Minister released a documentary film on Operation Sindoor. The film reaffirms the Nations and Defence Forces commitment to operational preparedness and decisive national response capabilities. He also released the Hindi Version of Vision 2047 and the Joint Doctrine for Integrated Communication Architecture, aimed at strengthening doctrinal clarity, interoperability and integrated communications across the Armed Forces in future multidomain operations. The conference, themed Military Capability in New Domains, brought together the top leadership of the Ministry of Defence and the Indian Defence Forces to deliberate on emerging security challenges & future readiness. Comprehensive deliberations were held on future warfare, multidomain operations, technological transformation and joint capability development. The conference witnessed extensive discussions on cognitive warfare, cyber resilience against evolving quantum and AI-enabled threats, military capability development in emerging domains, indigenous innovation and AI-enabled warfighting concepts. Demonstrations of advanced systems and platforms developed for intelligence fusion, operational planning and information management were also showcased during the conference reflecting growing integration of cutting-edge technologies into joint operational structures. The discussions will contribute significantly towards shaping Indias future military transformation and integrated operational preparedness. The event was attended by Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Dinesh Kumar Tripathi, Chief of the Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi, Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal AP Singh, Defence Secretary Shri Rajesh Kumar Singh, Secretary, Department of Defence R&D and Chairman DRDO Dr Samir V Kamat, Secretary (Defence Production) Sanjeev Kumar, Secretary (Ex-servicemen Welfare) Sukriti Likhi, Secretary (Defence Finance) Vishvajit Sahay and other senior civil and military officials.

The 39-year-old Chennai native began his journey with his home franchise, Chennai Super Kings, winning two titles. In the 2025 auctions, Ashwin got a homecoming as he was picked by CSK for a whopping 9.75 crores before announcing his retirement ahead of the 2026 season. Ashiwn also credited his late mentor VB Chandrasekhar for paving the way for his selection in CSK. I've always wanted to stay grateful. People come into your life, lay a stepping stone for you, and then move on and for me, that person was VB Chandrasekhar. Hes no longer with us, a life gone too soon. In Chennai's league cricket, I was playing for Chemplast against MRF at Pachaiyappas ground when T20 was new and people felt spinners had no role, especially the finger spinners, Ashiwn said on JioStar. During the auction, CSK had already picked Muttiah Muralitharan, and I thought my chances were gone. Then came the final of that same tournament at Chepauk, it was Chemplast vs India Cements, who owned CSK. I took six wickets. Kasi Viswanathan and Kris Srikkanth were there, and after I got Player of the Match, Srikkanth said 'What, CSK didnt pick you? Hey Kasi, take him, you should pick good players. The next day, I got a call from VB Chandrasekhar. He told me, Ive been watching you for five years. In T20, Im not sure about a finger spinners role, but youll learn a lot. Learn as much as you canyou can go far, your attitude is good' and gave me the contract, he recalled. On finishing his IPL career with CSK, Ashwin said, When I got the chance to play for CSK again, the first thought was that I could finish where I started. My intention was to play for 2-3 years. It didn't happen, that's a different story. I won't go there now. But where it started, it finished there. And I had another small dream to finish at Chepauk. I couldn't do that. The next day, I got a call from VB Chandrasekhar. He told me, Ive been watching you for five years. In T20, Im not sure about a finger spinners role, but youll learn a lot. Learn as much as you canyou can go far, your attitude is good' and gave me the contract, he recalled.
