Ketan Agarwal fell into a gorge and died at Lohagad Fort on June 18 while on a trekking trip with Siya. He was allegedly pushed from a height by Siya.

Initially, Lonavala Rural Police treated it as an accident and registered a case of accidental death.

But one person who refused to believe the "accident theory" was Ketan's sister. Her suspicion became the starting point for unraveling the murky plot.

Ketan's sister continued to doubt and dissect the accident narrative even after his funeral. She had too many unanswered questions.

Sources have told NDTV that four days after the incident, Siya Goyal visited the Agarwal family home to offer condolences. During the visit, Ketan's sister questioned Siya in detail about what happened at Lohagad.

Ketan and Siya had gone trekking to Lohagad Fort on three occasions - May 31, June 14, and June 18.

Inconsistencies in Siya's replies and her evasiveness deepened the sister's suspicion. She then shared her doubts with the family, after which they approached the police and sought a fresh probe.

On the family's insistence, police began examining CCTV footage, technical evidence, and questioning people connected to the case. During their probe, police also learned about an alleged affair between Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary. The Agarwal family has alleged that the Goyal family knew about Siya's relationship with Chetan, but still insisted on the match, assuring them that all would be well.

CCTV footage from the area showed a man wearing a hoodie, despite the June heat, following Ketan and Siya's vehicle and movements around Lohagad Fort. The unusual attire drew investigators' attention, eventually helping them identify and track Chetan.

Police also found inconsistencies in Siya's account of the day, including explanations she allegedly offered after Ketan's fall, prompting a deeper probe.

Police then detained Siya and Chetan and began questioning them. When the two gave vague answers, police intensified the interrogation and investigation.

The probe began to indicate that this was not an accident, but a premeditated murder.

Police subsequently discovered that Siya and Chetan had been in contact for three years and had spoken 2,004 times between January and June this year, clocking a cumulative 238 hours on calls. Police allege the two also frequently communicated through FaceTime and WhatsApp calls.

Initially, Siya told the police that Ketan slipped and fell into the gorge while posing for photos. But police said on Tuesday that Siya and her lover Chetan pushed Ketan to his death and tried to pass it off as an accident.

Police arrested Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary on June 23 and are now investigating whether anyone else was involved in the conspiracy.

Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti has already said that Neymar will be included in his matchday squad for Thursday's match in Miami, though he is almost certain to start on the bench.

The 34-year-old Santos forward, who is Brazil's all-time leading scorer with 79 goals in 128 international appearances, has not played for the national team since suffering a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in October 2023.

Meymar has earlier indicated the FIFA World Cup 2026 will be the last of his career. The 34-year-old made the statement in response to a social media post from FIFA showing images of Neymar's career along with the words, "We've watched him grow up."

Brazil leads Group C with four points. They have the same points as Morocco, but are in first place due to goal difference (3 against 1). And qualifying for the knockout stage as group leaders is one of the team's objectives, for logistical reasons and to improve team preparation.

“We want to go to Miami and win the game to qualify in first place. Staying at the hotel here with all the facilities we have is much better. If we qualify in second place, we have to go to Mexico and that ends up changing the whole schedule. Our mentality is to win and stay here because of all the benefits we have. The training center and the hotel are very good and we have a lot to do here together,” he explained.

Vishal Agarwal, father of the 26-year-old real estate director, has described how Siya pushed Ketan from the fort on June 14. When Ketan survived by grabbing a bush, Siya shouted that a snake was approaching and then hugged him.

"On June 14, they both went to the fort alone, and Siya pushed Ketan. After the push, Ketan grabbed a bush and escaped. Fearing the secret would be revealed, Siya shouted 'snake, snake'," Vishal Agarwal said.

He added that when Siya and Ketan arrived at the airport ahead of a pre-wedding trip to Bali, Ketan's passport was missing.

"When they arrived at the airport, everyone's passports were there, but Ketan's passport was missing. It seemed as if it had fallen somewhere. They tried to search for it, but the passport was nowhere to be found. Therefore, they returned. After returning, on the third or fourth day, she quarrelled with him again, arguing that they had to go to Lohagad Fort," he said.

"And then, on June 14, she went to Lohagad. They were both alone at that time. She pushed Ketan. After being pushed, Ketan slipped backwards, and escaped by grabbing hold of a bush. He then began to regain consciousness, realising that he had been pushed and that he had survived. Siya immediately shouted, 'snake, snake' and went and hugged him," he added.

Ketan Agarwal, a resident of Gahunje in Pune district and director of a family-run real estate business, died on June 18 after falling nearly 400 feet into a gorge near Lohagad Fort. The fort, linked to the history of the Maratha empire founder Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, is one of the 12 forts in Maharashtra listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Initially, the death was treated as an accident. Siya told Lonavala rural police that Ketan had slipped and fallen while the couple was on an outing at the hill fort amid strong winds. An accidental death report was registered. Police later examined the circumstances and found them suspicious. 

On Tuesday, officers arrested Siya and her alleged lover, Chetan Babulal Chaudhary, 22, a resident of Kondhwa in Pune, on charges of murder and criminal conspiracy. Siya ran her own bakery while Chetan had a dry fruits manufacturing company. Both met through mutual business links. 

Superintendent of Police Sandip Singh Gill of Pune rural said the investigation looked at multiple angles, including financial disputes and personal relationships. Police established that Siya was in a relationship with Chetan and viewed Ketan as an obstacle.

The two allegedly conspired to kill Ketan. Siya took him to Lohagad Fort under the pretext of an outing, while Chetan was called to the spot later. They then pushed him off the fort, police said. Local crime branch officers first took Chetan into custody based on suspicion. During interrogation, he reportedly disclosed the plot. Siya was arrested on the basis of that information. She and Chetan have been remanded to seven-day police custody. 

"Following a complaint lodged by Ketan's father, Vishal Agarwal, the Lonavala rural police registered a case of murder and criminal conspiracy under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita on Tuesday," Superintendent Gill said, as quoted by news agency PTI.

Ketan had been scheduled to marry Siya later this year. Families on both sides had made extensive preparations, including booking a palace in Rajasthan's picturesque Udaipur for the wedding ceremony.

The renewed discussion comes months after Russini stepped away from The Athletic. Although no official findings have linked the Patriots to any wrongdoing, the reappearance of the post has prompted questions about whether concerns raised last year deserved greater scrutiny.

Mike Florio explains why The Athletic's review remains under the spotlight

As interest in the situation continues, NFL insider Mike Florio recently highlighted a key obstacle facing The Athletic's internal review. Speaking on Pro Football Talk, Florio noted that Russini's departure from the publication could make it more difficult for investigators to gather information directly from her.

“She doesn't work there, so it makes it harder for them to get answers from her,” Florio said.

Russini has largely stayed out of the public spotlight since announcing her resignation in April. She has removed her X account and has not publicly addressed the controversy beyond defending her reporting and rejecting claims made against her. According to previous reports, The Athletic's review is focused on editorial standards and newsroom processes rather than personal conduct.

Florio also suggested that any findings could create additional complications if details eventually become public.

“Whenever The Athletic says whatever it says, and they probably will announce their findings publicly, even if they may be inviting a lawsuit from Dianna Russini,” Florio said. “Because whatever they provide to their employees privately, somebody's going to leak it. And they've already committed to transparency with the employees.”

The deleted Morgan Moses post that keeps finding its way back into the conversation

At the same time, an older social media post connected to veteran tackle Morgan Moses has returned to the spotlight. The post, which was reportedly deleted and later replaced, mentioned the New York Jets allowing Moses to test free agency. However, the graphic attached to the post allegedly included Patriots branding before Moses eventually signed with New England.

The incident initially drew attention because it appeared before the NFL's legal negotiating window opened. Although Russini reportedly attributed the issue to a graphic error, some observers have continued to question whether the timing raised larger concerns.

NFL podcaster Tony Farmer argued that the discussion should focus less on personal relationships and more on whether the Patriots had advance knowledge regarding Moses' future.

“People completely misunderstand the implications of Dianna Russini's deleted Morgan Moses tweet, it's not potential evidence of wrongdoing between Russini and Vrabel,” Farmer wrote.

“It's potential evidence of alleged wrongdoing by the Patriots (tampering) and evidence Russini and Vrabel talked about that alleged wrongdoing by New England.”

Despite the renewed attention, no NFL investigation has found that New England violated tampering rules, and the organization has not faced any league discipline related to Moses' signing. For now, the debate continues online while many await the final outcome of The Athletic's review.

"I'm back," Ronaldo said directly into the television camera as he produced a Man of the Match performance against Uzbekistan. Sitting in the Fox Sports studio, Ibrahimovic said Portugal's 5-0 win over Uzbekistan was no surprise to him, considering the gap in quality between the two sides.

However, he did express surprise over Ronaldo's comments after scoring his brace.

"It was a game to score. It was a game for Portugal to score a lot of goals. And regarding his message, I thought he never left. I don't know why he says 'I'm back,'" Ibrahimovic said after the match.

Speaking after the game, Ronaldo addressed questions about a potential face-off with his long-time rival, Argentine legend Lionel Messi, calling the prospect "awesome" while stressing that his immediate focus remained on Portugal's progress in the tournament.

"I don't know how to answer that. But, well, it would be awesome. The most important thing was today, winning to advance, and being ready for what's next ... The main goal was to advance from the group stage, and we did it," Ronaldo said.

The 41-year-old emphasised that qualification from the group stage was the main target and noted that Portugal had achieved it with a convincing performance.

Ronaldo also acknowledged a challenging build-up to the match, pointing to intense public scrutiny of both the players and head coach Roberto Martinez. He said criticism is part of his long career, noting that opinions swing between praise and doubt depending on results.

"It was a very tough and difficult week, with public opinion being very harsh on all the players, especially on me and the coach [Roberto Martinez]," Ronaldo said.

"But I don't mind. I've been in this profession for 23 years now, and whenever things go well, 'Cristiano is doing great,' but when they go badly, 'Cristiano is retired, he's too old.' It will always be like that. But we responded well today," the great footballer added.

"Yeah, I think not only Shreyas but also (ODI captain) Shubman. Because both of them are young captains. And both of them are captains with a lot of empathy," Paranjape told PTI after Shedge's maiden India call-up for the white-ball tour of Ireland and England following the injury-forced withdrawal of Nitish Kumar Reddy.

"And they will understand the pressure Suryansh will be feeling, the nervousness that he will be feeling. Shreyas definitely, because they know each other, Suryansh has played under him. So, there will be a lot of comfort." With both Hardik Pandya and Reddy out of the UK tour, Paranjape feels even in ODIs, Gill can guide Shedge.

"Mainly because he is young and he will be able to relate to what's going on inside that debutant's mind, basically." For the upcoming tour, beginning with two T20Is against Ireland from June 26, Paranjape's advice is simple: absorb as much knowledge as possible.

"If you are able to be a sponge... And my advice to him is to be a sponge around all the champions in that dressing room. So, I think if he is able to adapt to that atmosphere, I think England is a great location," he said.

Paranjape said the opportunity has come through hard work and should be embraced with humility.

"This has come as a lucky break. He accepts it with all humility and he will try to do his best for the team. That's the message. Always be a team-man. Think like a captain and try to win games for your team," he said.

Paranjape said he first met Shedge through a mutual friend and immediately recognised a profile that Indian cricket desperately needs.

"I have been involved with him for probably the last year and a half. And he is a very, very talented cricketer and he has shown glimpses of that talent in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

"But what really enthuses me is that here is an all-rounder and we are looking for all-rounders. We are looking for fast bowling all-rounders, batsmen who can bowl medium pace. We are looking for spin all-rounders as well." According to Paranjape, Shedge's progress accelerated once he was able to address the technical gltches that many young cricketers encounter on their way up.

"So, I knew about him. But when we met, there were a few things which were kind of impeding his progress. And these are very natural roadblocks that top-flight cricketers face on their journey.

"And at the end of the day, I think it was just about him knowing that I am here for him. I genuinely believed in him as a cricketer from an ability, from a skill perspective." The former national selector said one of the reasons he was convinced about Shedge's future was his belief that the youngster could eventually become a genuine all-format cricketer.

A significant part of Shedge's development has involved improving his bowling.

Paranjape revealed that former national selector and noted bowling coach Subroto Banerjee has been working closely on the technical aspects of the youngster's bowling.

Paranjape believes that while Shedge's batting is currently better than his bowling, the gap is narrowing rapidly.

"But Subroto Banerjee and I are working on his bowling as well. There are a couple of technical things which Subbu (Banerjee's nickname) is working on.

"And once those settle in over the next few months, I think he is a guy who will be then able to select himself as a batter or as a bowler. I think he will be genuinely an all-rounder."

Martin Odegaard and Erling Haaland, whose double helped secure the win, brought the squad together to perform the row in front of the fans, but they had to wait for coach Stale Solbakken, who sprinted up the steps in the stand at the final whistle to kiss and hug his wife.

With the squad sitting in rows resembling those of a Viking longboat and Solbakken squeezing into the middle behind Haaland, Odegaard began beating the drum to a joyous climax.

What Is the Viking Row?

The celebration, according to several reports, is inspired by Norway's Viking tradition. According to the BBC, "The Viking Age was from about AD 700 to 1100. Many Vikings left their homes in Scandinavia and travelled by longboat to other countries, like Britain and Ireland. The people of Britain called the invaders 'Danes', but they came from Norway and Sweden as well as Denmark. Vikings sailed the seas trading goods. They bought silver, silks, spices, wine, jewellery, glass and pottery to bring back home."

The rowing motion is a tribute and symbolises the voyages that the Vikings undertook. It is an integral part of Norwegian identity.

What are the Norway players saying about the celebration?

TV pictures showed fans back in Trondheim joining in as the celebration brought Norway supporters around the world together, but midfielder Patrick Berg revealed that he did not think the row was going to catch on.

"At the start, I think people doubted a little bit - like, is this something that's going to last or just something that's going to die off? But it's been a massive part of our World Cup so far," he told reporters.

"Doing it in New York is a really beautiful moment for us together. They started doing it back home in Oslo before we left for the World Cup, and now I think the whole world is aware of it... I feel the energy that we create together with (the fans) is really important for us."

"It was incredibly fun," forward Alexander Sorloth said, beaming with pride after the game. "A lot more fun than I would have thought. When you hear the sound, it's magical."

Asked how far he and the Viking rowing might take him and his team at the World Cup, Sorloth was confident.

"We'll see, but if we reach our top level, it's a tournament and anything can happen. If we reach our top level, we can go far," he said.

Norway are second in the group with six points, behind France on goal difference, with the two teams meeting in their final Group I game on Friday.

MrBeast expected only a few minutes with Ronaldo

Before the cameras even started rolling, Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, was already trying to make things easy for Ronaldo's team.

He explained that he understood how busy the football superstar was and even joked that he only needed a few minutes to make the video work. According to him, he was willing to build an entire challenge around whatever tiny window of time Ronaldo could spare.

That expectation changed once filming began. MrBeast recalled Ronaldo telling him to take as much time as necessary because he wanted the content to turn out well. Instead of rushing through the shoot, the Al-Nassr star reportedly made it clear that there was no pressure to hurry things along.

The collaboration didn't end when filming wrapped

The videos they filmed together became some of the biggest collaborations of late 2024. Ronaldo featured MrBeast in his YouTube video I Meet MrBeast To Break The Internet!!, while MrBeast later uploaded Beat Ronaldo, Win $1,000,000. 

The projects helped bring together two of the biggest audiences on the internet and played a role in the explosive early growth of Ronaldo's YouTube channel. What stood out most to MrBeast, though, happened after the production was over.

Ronaldo invited MrBeast to his house after filming

According to MrBeast, Ronaldo invited him over to his house once the shoot was finished. He said he repeatedly tried to give Ronaldo opportunities to back out, insisting that the filming itself had already been more than enough. 

Ronaldo apparently wasn't interested in ending the interaction there. The pair spent additional time together away from the cameras, talking and hanging out without turning it into more content.

Reflecting on the collaboration, MrBeast described Ronaldo as a genuinely nice person and said the football icon treated him far better than he had imagined beforehand.

The creator explained that his assumptions were shaped largely by Ronaldo's status and demanding schedule. Instead, he walked away remembering the extra time, the conversations away from the spotlight, and the hospitality he received.

According to the Atlanta Police Department, officers were called to the airport after reports of a male passenger causing a disturbance near a gate for a flight headed to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. That passenger was later identified as Poirier. Police said the 37-year-old appeared intoxicated and was involved in a confrontation after being refused entry onto the flight.

Inside the airport incident that led to Dustin Poirier's arrest

Body camera footage released by Atlanta police shows Poirier arguing near the gate shortly before officers arrived. In the video, he can be heard directing profanities toward people in the area. At one point, he challenged a man to a fight and removed his backpack while continuing the exchange.

The situation had already drawn attention before police stepped in. According to authorities, Poirier was yelling, acting aggressively, and appeared visibly upset after being denied boarding. One officer reportedly recognized him from his MMA career and requested additional units before approaching him.

Dustin Poirier was booked and later released the same evening

Police say Poirier eventually told officers to arrest him. Authorities then took him into custody without further issues and transported him to Clayton County Jail. Jail records show he was booked on a misdemeanor public drunkenness charge at 6:38 p.m.

Several hours later, Poirier was released. Former UFC fighter Ben Askren also commented on social media, suggesting Poirier had been "having a good time at the airport."

The arrest comes less than a year after Poirier's retirement

The incident involves one of the most accomplished fighters of his era. Poirier retired after his final fight against Max Holloway at UFC 318. During his career, he compiled a 30-10 record and held the UFC interim lightweight championship.

He never captured the undisputed lightweight title, but his résumé includes victories over some of the sport's biggest names, including Conor McGregor, Justin Gaethje, Eddie Alvarez, Michael Chandler, and Holloway. Court records show he was scheduled for a hearing following the arrest.

His finest domestic season came in 1956-57 when he captured 46 wickets at an average of just nine, including two nine-wicket hauls in an innings.

However, Blair's name became etched in sporting folklore during New Zealand's 1953 tour of South Africa.

Playing in the second Test at Ellis Park, the then 21-year-old received devastating news that his fiancee, Nerissa Love, had been among the 151 people killed in the Tangiwai rail disaster on Christmas Eve.

After initially remaining at the team hotel to grieve, Blair made a remarkable appearance at the crease when New Zealand were down to their final wicket on the second day of the Test. He joined a battered Bert Sutcliffe, who had earlier been hospitalised after being struck several times while batting.

In front of a stunned crowd of 23,000, the pair added 33 runs for the last wicket, including a then world-record 25 runs off a single over from South African spinner Hugh Tayfield. Players from both teams and spectators were moved by the moment, which remains one of cricket's most emotional chapters.

The story later inspired the creation of the Tangiwai Shield, jointly introduced by New Zealand Cricket (NZC) and Cricket South Africa in 2024 for men's Test series between the two nations. Blair was the last surviving New Zealand player from that historic Test.

NZC interim chief executive Graham Parks paid tribute to Blair, saying the story of the former fast bowler and the Tangiwai disaster had left an indelible mark on cricket in both New Zealand and South Africa.

“The courage and camaraderie shown during the second Test in South Africa in 1953 and in the years that followed epitomises everything that is great about sport,” Parks said.

Following the 1953 tour, Blair continued his international career for another decade and signed off in style against South Africa in Auckland in 1964, recording his best Test match figures of 7 for 142.

Even after retiring, Blair remained deeply involved with cricket, playing into his 60s and later coaching in Queensland, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Northern Ireland and England.

He eventually settled in Cheshire with his wife Barbara, whom he married in 1986, while maintaining a lifelong affection for cricket, golf and his native New Zealand.

As a mark of respect, the BlackCaps will wear black armbands on the opening day of the third Test against England in Nottingham on Thursday.

The stock dropped as much as 5% to around $147 in pre-market trading, below its first-day opening price of $150. The decline put the Elon Musk-led company's market capitalisation on track to slip below the $2 trillion mark, reversing Musk's brief return to trillionaire status.

The latest decline follows a bruising session in which SpaceX lost nearly $400 billion in market value, marking the second-largest single-day wipeout on record after Nvidia's roughly $590 billion decline last year. Over the past three trading sessions, the company has shed more than $600 billion in market capitalisation.

Shares have now fallen about 16% from recent highs, reaching their lowest level since the company's market debut. Despite the sharp correction, the stock remains roughly 10% above its initial public offering price of $135.

The selloff comes amid a broader retreat in global technology stocks. Nasdaq 100 futures fell 2.6%, while S&P 500 futures declined 1.4%. In Europe, the technology sub-index of the Stoxx 600 dropped 3.1%, while Asian technology shares also came under pressure after reports that South Korea's SK Hynix may slow the expansion of AI memory chip production.

Investor sentiment towards SpaceX weakened after the company announced plans to issue investment-grade bonds despite holding more than $100 billion in cash and cash equivalents. The debt offering is expected to help finance the company's long-term investments in artificial intelligence, data centres and other expansion projects, while also refinancing existing borrowings.

The announcement prompted investors to question why the company was raising additional capital despite its sizeable cash reserves. SpaceX said the proceeds would be used for general corporate purposes and to repay existing debt, but markets interpreted the move as a reflection of the substantial capital required to fund its AI ambitions.

SpaceX's public listing earlier this month attracted overwhelming investor demand, with the company quickly becoming one of the world's most valuable listed firms. Much of that enthusiasm was driven not only by its leadership in space technology but also by investor optimism around its artificial intelligence strategy and investments in computing infrastructure.

However, following the initial rally, investors have increasingly focused on the company's financial performance. SpaceX reported a net loss of $4.9 billion for 2025 and a further loss of $4.28 billion in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting heavy spending on AI infrastructure, Starship development and other growth initiatives.

India vs Pakistan Hockey, FIH Pro League Highlights:

"You always need to improve in every area. We created enough opportunities in every match but we don't score too many field goals, and that's something we need to keep working on.

"I am very happy with the way we played in the semifinal and the final. Of course, in the semifinal we scored a lot of goals, but in the final it's never easy. We had a few big opportunities, but we were still able to score two goals," the Dutchman said in a virtual interaction on Wednesday.

He added, "We hardly gave away anything to the opposition, and that is the foundation of the game. Defensively, we were very disciplined, we were very structured, we were very strong, and I was really happy with that. That is something we need to keep improving." Marijne, who took charge of the Indian women's team for a second stint in January this year after replacing Harendra Singh, said constant improvement and consistency will be key to success.

"You always want to improve. It's all about scoring goals, but in women's hockey, it's not easy to score. I am happy that we are able to create opportunities, but now it's about finishing, it's about skills, and these things need time.

"It is also about staying calm in the right position and having awareness about positioning. If we keep working on that, the chances of a positive outcome become higher," he said.

"One of the things we are doing well is intercepting balls." Marijne also pointed out that maintaining a consistent level of performance has been a positive sign for the team.

"In the past, what I noticed with the Indian women's team was that one day you could play nine out of 10 and the other day six. But in the semifinal and final, we had a consistent level, so that was very positive."

Focus on your game, not opponents'

Marijne said his message to the players is to focus on improving their own game rather than worrying about the opposition.

"I told the girls it's important to learn and also to win. You always have to learn from things that don't go well. It's always match by match. Our first official match will be against China (at the World Cup), and that's important because of many reasons, as we will play them in the Asian Games as well.

"We want to do well, and it's about ourselves — what do we need to improve, what do we need to do really well — and that's the most important thing at this moment." The Dutchman added that the team will use the upcoming training period to prepare for the major assignments lined up.

"We now have a big block of training for four weeks before we go to Germany, and we can evaluate what went well and what we need to improve against teams in the World Cup. From there, we go to the World Cup. It's a step-by-step process. Every match will help us improve." "The focus is really on the Indian team, not on China, not on other teams. What we need to do, how we want to play well -- that's what we are focusing on," he added.

Camaraderie and unity

The coach said the camaraderie among the players and the unity has been phenomenal.

"I can't judge the years before me because I wasn't there. I do know now there is connection between players, openness, people are open for feedback to each other. If you see the last match there was unity inside the field, they are really coaching each other it doesn't matter whether you are senior or junior. I see a lot of connections in helping each other outside the field.

"There is very good leadership from senior players. These things are really big positives. We also have a great connection between staffs. You need to enjoy what you are doing. You have to be yourself. That's one of the important things for rebuilding the team," he said.

"I always tell the leadership starts from yourself, you start with an example, exactly how you want to bee treated. I think there is a positive atmosphere in the team." He said one of the positives was that 90 per cent of the players can now understand and converse in English.

"In the past less girls spoke English, but now 90 per cent of the girls speak English, so it's also easier for me to work together." He also emphasised the importance of the players' mental aspect.

"Mental side is very important part for me. We did small things with this, that is working with profiling of the players. I know what kind of person they are, what kind of preference they have, how to approach them under stress.

"But helping each other inside the team works the best. A younger player was struggling in the semifinal and Savita was on the sidelines and I asked her to talk to that player. A senior player helping a junior works wonders." PTI SSC SSC AH AH

Delhi Capitals shared a post on Instagram with Patel welcoming Pant to the team.

"When he was here before, he was my captain, and he was leading me. At that time, we didn't have anything like 'I am the captain, I will tell you this and that'. We used to work in mutual understanding. He knows that he is a senior player, and I know that I am a senior player. We had a mutual understanding of what he can do best in a particular situation and what he can't," Patel said in the video.

He further added, "As a friend and as a captain, I will tell him that he knows that he doesn't have any extra pressure from me or from the franchise. This is his own house; he has played here for many years. Delhi is his home, so I don't have to say much to him. I just know that he will get full freedom as a captain from my side."

Concluding his message, Patel said, "Just enjoy yourself. Enjoy your character. Form is temporary, class is permanent. You are a player of that category. You have full freedom from our side. Just play your game and enjoy. This will be the message for him."

Pant started his IPL career with Delhi Capitals (then Delhi Daredevils) in 2016. He had represented DC in eight IPL seasons before moving to LSG in 2025 after a record bid of Rs 27 crore in the auction.

He struggled to justify his price tag over the past two seasons with the franchise, as he managed only three fifty-plus scores in 28 innings, which included one century and two half-centuries. In IPL 2025, he scored 269 runs at an average of 24.45 and a strike rate of 133.16.

The statement arrived shortly after footage from the incident became public. While the arrest itself had already put Poirier in the spotlight, his latest message shifted attention toward something much more personal. Rather than disputing what happened, the former UFC standout used the moment to talk about his current challenges and the changes he says he needs to make.

Dustin Poirier says retirement has been harder than expected

In his Instagram Stories, Poirier linked his recent struggles to life after fighting. The former UFC star admitted that the transition away from competition has not gone smoothly and said he has reached a point where he needs support.

"I'm at the point where I need some help, walking away from fighting hasn't been easy on me and alcohol isn't the answer," Poirier wrote.

The 37-year-old retired after his final UFC appearance last year. Since then, he has openly discussed the challenge of adjusting to life without training camps and fight preparation, something that had defined much of his career.

The former UFC star says he does not want alcohol to impact his family

The most personal part of Poirier's message focused on his family. He revealed that alcohol had a major impact on his father's life and explained why he wants to make changes now before the situation gets worse.

"It has ruined my father's life and I will not allow it to ruin mine, my family deserve me at 100%," he said.

Poirier added that he is trying to get himself into a better place mentally and is focused on taking the right next steps. His statement did not go into detail about what help he plans to seek, but it made clear that he views the incident as a serious wake-up call.

His statement comes days after the Atlanta airport incident

The message follows a difficult week for the MMA veteran. His arrest, booking photo, and police footage have all become public over the last few days. Instead of ignoring the situation, Poirier chose to directly address it and acknowledge that he needs support.

For now, Poirier is resentful and feels bad for his actions. However, he is confident that he'll come around and will recover. He is committed to getting himself back on track and doing what is necessary for both himself and his family.

ICICI Securities Report

ICICI Securities has maintained a ‘Buy' rating on CreditAccess Grameen Ltd., citing strong growth visibility driven by its strategic pivot towards a diversified rural finance model. The brokerage has retained its target price at Rs 1,750, implying an upside potential of around 28% from current levels. 

The brokerage highlighted that the company is undergoing a structural transition from a pure microfinance institution (MFI) to a rural-focused retail finance platform, aimed at increasing wallet share and diversifying its loan book. This shift is being driven through its strategic initiative,‘Project Shakti', which targets long-term AUM growth of 20–25% and improved profitability metrics.

While management acknowledges the collection risk due to El Nino, it highlighted that historical trends suggest that during such events, even if collections are impacted, they normalise within a short period. Hence, in the past, El Nino has not impacted profitability materially. Therefore, it continues to retain its FY27 credit cost guidance of 3–4% even after factoring in El Nino.

The appreciation comes as Main Vaapas Aaunga continues to gain momentum in theatres. Driven by strong word of mouth, emotional audience reactions, and increasing demand at cinemas, the film has expanded its footprint in its second week, with exhibitors adding more shows.
