    IPL 2026 Final: Virat Kohli vs Kagiso Rabada, Shubman Gill vs Bhuvneshwar Kumar – Key Battles That Could Decide the Title

    Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Explosive Matchups Set to Define IPL 2026 Final

    The stage is set for a blockbuster Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 final as Gujarat Titans (GT) take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. After dominating the league stage and playoffs, the top two teams in the points table will now battle for ultimate glory.

    RCB have enjoyed the upper hand this season, winning two of their three encounters against Gujarat. However, GT’s lone victory over Bengaluru came at the Narendra Modi Stadium, where they have built a formidable record thanks to a well-rounded bowling attack featuring Kagiso Rabada, Rashid Khan, Mohammed Siraj, Jason Holder, and Prasidh Krishna.

    On the other hand, RCB boast one of the most dangerous batting lineups in the tournament. With Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, and Devdutt Padikkal in prime form, Bengaluru will be confident of posting or chasing a massive total. Their pace attack, led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, and Jacob Duffy, could also play a decisive role if the pitch offers assistance to seamers.

    While team performances will matter, the IPL 2026 final could ultimately be decided by a few high-profile individual battles.

    Virat Kohli vs Kagiso Rabada: A Clash of Titans

    Whenever Virat Kohli and Kagiso Rabada face off, cricket fans are guaranteed excitement. Earlier this season, Kohli dominated Rabada by smashing him for five consecutive boundaries before the South African pacer bounced back with a crucial wicket.

    Rabada enters the final as one of the tournament’s leading wicket-takers, while Kohli remains RCB’s batting backbone. The key question is not just whether Rabada can dismiss Kohli, but whether he can prevent the batting maestro from scoring freely during the powerplay.

    If Kohli survives the early threat posed by Rabada and Mohammed Siraj, RCB’s explosive middle order could take complete control of the contest.

    Shubman Gill vs Bhuvneshwar Kumar: Technique Meets Swing

    Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill has been one of the standout performers of IPL 2026. His brilliant century against Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 underlined his ability to deliver on the biggest stage.

    However, Gill has occasionally struggled against quality swing bowling this season. That is where veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar could become RCB’s biggest weapon.

    Bhuvneshwar’s ability to move the ball both ways and disrupt a batter’s rhythm makes this one of the most fascinating contests of the final. If he can dismiss Gill early or restrict his scoring, Gujarat’s heavily top-order-dependent batting unit could come under pressure.

    The opening overs between Gill and Bhuvneshwar may well determine the direction of the match.

    Rajat Patidar vs Jason Holder: The Momentum Battle

    RCB skipper Rajat Patidar has been one of the driving forces behind Bengaluru’s remarkable campaign. His match-winning performance in Qualifier 1 against Gujarat Titans showcased his ability to dominate bowling attacks under pressure.

    Patidar is particularly strong against spin, which means Gujarat may rely on the experience and versatility of Jason Holder to counter the RCB captain.

    Since joining the Titans setup, Holder has transformed Gujarat’s bowling attack with his clever variations, bounce, and ability to break partnerships at crucial moments.

    If Patidar wins this battle, RCB’s middle order could launch a devastating assault during the middle overs. However, if Holder strikes early, Gujarat could expose a new batter and seize control before the death overs.

    IPL 2026 Final: More Than Just a Championship Match

    The IPL 2026 final promises to be a thrilling contest between two evenly matched teams packed with world-class talent. Whether it is Kohli versus Rabada, Gill against Bhuvneshwar, or Patidar taking on Holder, these mini-battles could ultimately decide who lifts the coveted IPL trophy in Ahmedabad.

    With star power, form, and momentum on both sides, cricket fans can expect a memorable finale under the lights at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

  • Bobby Deol in tears, turns emotional in Rajat Sharma’s Aap Ki Adalat, says, “There won’t be another man like my Papa”

    Bobby Deol in tears, turns emotional in Rajat Sharma’s Aap Ki Adalat, says, “There won’t be another man like my Papa”

    NEW DELHI, May 31 : Film star Bobby Deol was moved to tears in Rajat Sharma’s iconic show Aap Ki Adalat, when somebody from the audience asked him about his father, Dharmendra, who passed away last year.

    Bobby Deol, in tears, said:   “Unke Jaisa Koi Insaan Ho Nahin Payega Kabhi (There will never a man like him, ever)”.

    When Rajat Sharma reminded him how son Sunny Deol used to move around like a wall with Dharmendra, when he came to Aap Ki Adalat, Bobby Deol nodded and replied: “Haan, yahan baithey hue they (Yes, he was siting right here). I was blessed, I was born in a home where I got my Mamma and Papa…Papa Jaisa Koi Ho Hi Nahin Sakta (there can be nobody like Papa)”.

    Asked whether he ever beat up people like his ‘papa’ used to when he became angry, Bobby Deol replied: ” Papa aisey insaan they ki unhe agar galat bolo toh kabhi sahan nahin kar paate they.  Unka haath bada tha, do-teen maarte they, fir ghar ke andar le jate they, khana khilate they, doodh pilate they, naye kapde dete they. He was like that. …Mujhe bachpan se zaroorat padi hi nahin kisi pe haath uthane ki. Mujhe accha bhi nahin lagta. Maine kabhi aisa kiya nahin. ”  (Papa was a man who could never control his anger if anybody told him bad words. He had huge arms, he used to beat the man twice or thrice, then used to bring him to his home, offered him food, milk and new clothes. He was like that….Since childhood, I never beat up anybody. I don’t like beating up any person. I never did that.)

    NEGATIVE ROLES

    When Rajat Sharma asked why he broke his family tradition and started doing negative roles unlike his father Dharmendra and brother Sunny Deol, who never did negative or villain roles, Bobby Deol replied: “Jap Naam, Jap Naam. You see, when I came out of a bad patch in my career, it was the OTT platform which helped me and many other actors and technicians. A hero is always a hero, but I liked characters which stay with the audience even after they came out of theatres. So I decided to choose such a character…”

    Rajat Sharma: Rapist, corrupt, beimaan and that too in the guise of a baba?

    Bobby Deol : (laughs) Nahin, maine aisa soch ke nahin kiya. When I went to Prakash Jha, and listened to the script, I thought he would offer me the role of a policeman, played by Darshan Kumar. I told Prakash Jha, it was an interesting synopsis, he told me, I want you to play the Baba..Yeh toh maine socha bhi nahin tha. Jab aapko kaam nahin milta, aur aap chah rahe hon ki comfort zone ke baahar hon, toh..I said, I will do it. It’s a challenge for me. ”

    Rajat Sharma: People filed complaints saying you’ve defamed babas and ashrams.

    Bobby Deol: Badnaam Kar Diya? (laughs). Isiliye toh title change hua. Pahle title tha, Ashram..phir hua, Badnaam Ashram…

    Rajat Sharma: Some said, it was based on Baba Ram Rahim, some said, it was based on Asaram Bapu?

    Bobby Deol: Actually, Kisi Baba Ko Follow Nahin Kiya. Actually, hamari society me jo hota hai, movies usi ko reflect karti hain. …That is why the film was a hit… there are good babas and some bad babas…

    Rajat Sharma : Which bad baba inspired you to do this role?

    Bobby Deol: I do not watch YouTube to see who is doing what. Hamari Duniya Ek Alag Daur Me Jaa Rahi Hai…Jo Depth Hoti Thi Pahle Insaanon Me, Woh ab shallow ho rahi hai, saara materialistic ho gaya. Main in cheezon se door rehta hoon..Jis Mahoul Me Main Paida Hua Hoon, Usme Ye Hai Nahin…Prakash Ji Ne Mujhse Bola, Kisi Baba ke YouTube video mat dekhna. Bas itna dimaag me rakhna, Jab Tu Bolta Hai, Log Sunte Hain..

    Rajat Sharma: You didn’t tell your papa, your bhaiya you were doing this role?

    Bobby Deol:  Mere Papa, Bhaiya Kabhi Negative Roles Nahin Karna Chahte They. ..As an actor main nahin chahta tha ki usko follow karoon, jo mere liye work nahin kar raha tha…

  • Power Shock in UP: Electricity Becomes Costlier with New 10% Surcharge

    Power Shock in UP: Electricity Becomes Costlier with New 10% Surcharge

    Lucknow: Residents of Uttar Pradesh are set to face another financial burden amid rising prices of petrol, diesel, CNG, and PNG. The Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) has decided to increase electricity bills by imposing a 10% fuel surcharge on consumers.

    According to UPPCL, electricity bills issued in June 2026 will include an additional 10% fuel surcharge, effectively increasing the overall cost of power consumption for consumers across the state.

    Significant Burden on Consumers

    The management of UPPCL has issued orders to recover the fuel surcharge for March 2026 through electricity bills generated in June. In its order, the corporation stated that the applicable fuel surcharge should be 20%, indicating that consumers may face another 10% surcharge in their July bills as well.

    Consumer Council Opposes Fuel Surcharge Recovery

    The State Electricity Consumer Council has strongly objected to the recovery of the 10% fuel surcharge. The council alleges that power distribution companies have inflated the surcharge amount by including pending dues from the past two years.

    The council has urged the Chief Minister to order an investigation into the matter and has also requested the Electricity Regulatory Commission to stay the implementation of the surcharge order. Notably, a similar 10% fuel surcharge was recovered from consumers in February this year.

    Questions Raised Over Power Purchase Costs

    The Consumer Council further pointed out that the Electricity Regulatory Commission had approved an actual power purchase cost of ₹4.94 per unit in its tariff order. However, UPPCL reportedly calculated power purchases for March 2026 at ₹5.86 per unit, resulting in an additional burden of approximately ₹1,610 crore on consumers.

    The council has argued that this discrepancy needs thorough examination before any further surcharge is imposed on electricity users in the state.

  • 1521 Paramount Floraville Buyers Set for Home Ownership. Developer clears authority dues worth 80 cr

    1521 Paramount Floraville Buyers Set for Home Ownership. Developer clears authority dues worth 80 cr

    Noida 30th May 2026: There’s significant relief for 1,521 homebuyers of the Paramount Floraville Group Housing Project in Sector 137, Noida. The project, which had been mired in administrative difficulties for a long time, has now become clearer. The developer, in coordination with the Noida Authority, has settled all outstanding liabilities related to the project, removing obstacles related to registration and ownership. The developer paid ₹80.48 crore to the authority.

    Sprawling across approximately 12.375 acres, this residential project comprises 16 towers, comprising 1,521 flats. Fourteen towers received occupancy certificates on March 10, 2015, but financial disputes with the authority caused some buyers to wait for extended periods for registration. Through coordination between the developer and the authority, the project has now been resolved. Occupancy certificates for the remaining two towers have also been issued on January 31, 2024.

    It has been reported that the developer was already making payments to the authority “under protest.” Meanwhile, a system for settling outstanding dues for stalled projects was implemented, in accordance with the recommendations of the Amitabh Kant Committee, constituted by the Uttar Pradesh government. Its purpose was to ensure payment of the actual amount due by rationalising interest and penalties. Under this system, the developer paid all outstanding dues and resolved the remaining dues, directly benefiting buyers.

    The Paramount Floraville project is currently not under the purview of the UP RERA and no longer has any outstanding financial dues. The previous dispute with the authority regarding outstanding dues had reached the High Court, which is still pending. Despite this, the company, prioritising the interests of buyers, deposited the outstanding amount “under protest” and initiated the registration process, which is now proceeding smoothly.

    This initiative has given hope to families who have been waiting for the registration of their homes for years to soon receive ownership of their homes.

  • From Logbooks to AI-Powered Care: Samsung Marks 30 Years of Customer Service in India

    From Logbooks to AI-Powered Care: Samsung Marks 30 Years of Customer Service in India

    • Samsung today operates one of India’s largest customer service networks with 3,000+ service touchpoints, 12,500+ engineers
    • Samsung’s customer service journey mirrors India’s digital transformation — from manual service logs and pagers in the 1990s to AI-powered diagnostics and connected care today
    • Customers today can access support through SmartThings-enabled Proactive Care, WhatsApp, remote diagnostics, online booking and voice assistance in 10 Indian languages

    GURUGRAM, India – May 25, 2026 – Samsung, India’s largest consumer electronics brand, marks 30 years of its customer service journey in India, tracing its evolution from a small service operation in Delhi in the mid-1990s to one of the country’s largest and most digitally-connected customer care ecosystems.

    When Service Was Still Analog

    The story of Samsung’s customer service evolution closely mirrors India’s own technological transformation

    — from an era of handwritten complaint registers, pagers and physical service visits to AI-powered diagnostics, connected appliances and predictive care ecosystems.

    When Samsung opened its first service centre in India in March 1996, the country looked very different. Phones and internet were rare and customer requests were manually recorded in registers resting on crowded office desks.

    “Back then, customer care was deeply personal in the most literal sense. Customers often walked directly into service centres because telephones were not common in homes. Service requests were manually entered into registers, and engineers travelled across cities carrying logbooks, paper slips and toolkits,” said Rajiv Gupta, Director, Service Operations, Samsung India.

    By December 1996, Samsung had already expanded to 21 service centres across India. In 1997, engineers began using pagers to receive customer alerts — a small but important technological leap at the time.

    Building the Infrastructure of Trust

    As India’s consumer technology market rapidly expanded, Samsung continued scaling its customer support ecosystem. The late 1990s saw the growth of franchise service centres across the country, while 2003 marked another major milestone with the launch of Samsung’s first in-house call centre at Nehru Place in Delhi and the introduction of a toll-free customer support number.

    Over the next two decades, Samsung steadily transformed customer service from a reactive support function into an integrated, technology-driven customer experience ecosystem.

    Today, Samsung operates one of India’s largest customer service infrastructures with over 3,000 service touchpoints, 12,500+ trained engineers and 16 strategically located parts warehouses across the country.

    “What truly defines Samsung’s customer service journey is how closely it has evolved alongside the lives of Indian consumers,” said Sunil Cutinha, Head, Customer Satisfaction, Samsung India.

    “For us, customer service is not just a support function — it is a core part of the Samsung experience. Over the years, we have built a service ecosystem that combines scale, innovation and empathy. Whether through our extensive service network, contactless offerings like pick-up and drop, or next-generation service centres, our focus remains on delivering fast, transparent and reliable service that customers can trust every day,” he added.

    Predictive Care

    Samsung’s service ecosystem today extends far beyond physical service centres into AI-enabled proactive and connected care experiences.

    Through SmartThings-enabled Proactive Care powered by Home Appliances Remote Management (HRM), Samsung appliances can proactively detect performance issues and notify customers even before disruptions occur. Refrigerators can alert users if cooling efficiency drops unexpectedly, while air conditioners can proactively communicate maintenance requirements.

    Customers today can access 24×7 support through toll-free helplines, WhatsApp assistance, remote diagnostics and online appointment booking platforms. Samsung’s voice support services are available in 10 Indian languages, helping make customer support more accessible across regions.

    The company has also strengthened digital-first support offerings such as Pick and Drop service for smartphones and the Digital Service Center platform, which provides self-help videos, troubleshooting support and transparent pricing information.

    AI-driven customer support technologies — including intelligent co-pilots, speech-to-text systems and sentiment analysis tools — are additionally helping service teams respond faster and more empathetically to customer concerns.

    Relationships that Last Forever

    “Samsung has been a part of my life for three decades now. Our first television was a Samsung, and later the first smartphone I bought for my son was a Galaxy device. What has remained constant over the years is the trust and reliability associated with the brand,” said Sanjeev Gupta, a long-time Samsung customer from Ludhiana, Punjab.

    Over the years, Samsung has also nurtured an ecosystem of service professionals through four training academies and its long-term skilling initiative, Dost Service. Through its partnerships with 22 ITIs, Samsung Dost Service has trained over 14,500 service engineers across India.

    Extending Care into Sustainability

    Samsung is also integrating sustainability into its customer care ecosystem through initiatives such as Care for Clean India, which promotes responsible e-waste disposal and recycling through authorized recyclers.

    From Service Centres to Connected Care

    As Samsung marks 30 years in India, its customer service journey reflects more than the evolution of technology. It reflects the evolution of care itself — from handwritten registers and pagers to AI-powered connected homes and predictive support, while continuing to place customer trust at the centre of innovation.

The whisky has also gained international recognition at the Monde Selection Awards 2026.

    Aaghaaz single malt whisey begins its journey with pristine water flowing from the Shivalik foothills. The malt spirit then matured in the cool Himalayan climate, where the naturally coiling conditions allow it to evolve slowly, creating a whiskey rich in character and complexity.

  • DreamSphere 2026 Comes to a Grand Close as Shikha Roy Graces Arts & Souls Foundation’s Event, Supported by Kaizzen

    DreamSphere 2026 Comes to a Grand Close as Shikha Roy Graces Arts & Souls Foundation’s Event, Supported by Kaizzen

    21st May 2026, Delhi: Arts and souls foundation successfully concluded DreamSphere 2026 – Different Minds, Infinite Expressions, a three-day inclusive art exhibition held from 16th to 18th May 2026 at Bikaner House.

    The exhibition celebrated the creativity, imagination, and artistic brilliance of 42 neurodiverse artists from across India, showcasing more than 170 artworks across varied themes and styles. From vibrant nature-inspired canvases and expressive abstract works to spiritual themes and intricate detailed compositions, the exhibition beautifully reflected the unique perspectives and infinite expressions of the participating artists.

    Over the three days, DreamSphere transformed the gallery space into a celebration of resilience, individuality, hope, and creativity. Visitors experienced art that went beyond technique and aesthetics — each artwork carried a personal story, emotion, and voice, creating a powerful connection between the artists and the audience.

    The exhibition was inaugurated by eminent contemporary artist Jatin Das and renowned child neurologist Dr. Shefali Gulati.

    Speaking at the inauguration, Jatin Das appreciated the authenticity and emotional depth reflected in the artworks and said, “Art is the purest form of expression, and these artists remind us that creativity has no boundaries or definitions.”

    Dr. Shefali Gulati highlighted the importance of acceptance and inclusion while speaking about neurodiverse individuals and said, “Being different does not mean being inferior. Just because some individuals with autism may communicate differently or may not speak, it does not mean they have nothing to say. Every individual has emotions, thoughts, and immense potential that deserve to be understood and valued.”

    DreamSphere 2026 witnessed a remarkable footfall throughout the event, with visitors including art enthusiasts, architects, designers, educators, students, families, and members of the larger community who came together to celebrate and encourage the artists.

    The closing ceremony was graced by Shikha Roy, MLA, Greater Kailash. She warmly encouraged everyone with her kind words. “Arts and Souls Foundation is truly doing a noble and meaningful service by bringing out the highest potential of individuals with special needs. It is absolutely commendable to see how, despite many challenges, these children continue to strive, create, and move forward in life with courage and determination. Initiatives like Dreamsphere not only celebrate talent but also inspire society to embrace inclusion with empathy and respect.”

    Vineet Handa, CEO Kaizzen speaking on the organization’s association with Dreamsphere said, “DreamSphere is a celebration of expression, dignity, and possibility. Every artwork here carries a unique perspective and reminds us that creativity transcends definitions and boundaries. Kaizzen has been a proud partner of Arts and Souls Foundation and have been continuously advocating for the talented children of the foundation.”

    Supported by Kaizzen and Fieldking, DreamSphere 2026 stood as more than an art exhibition — it became a celebration of courage, acceptance, inclusion, and the transformative power of creativity when nurtured with dignity and opportunity.
