New Delhi: Captain Shubman Gill It was best summed up after Gujarat Titans’ clinical chase – sometimes, momentum finds you. And on Thursday night in Ahmedabad, it certainly happened.Leading from the front, Gill played a decisive role in Gujarat Titans’ four-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore, later admitting that an early stroke of luck laid the foundation for his match-defining innings.“It feels very satisfying. It’s great to restrict a team like them to 155 runs on a wicket like this,” Gill, who scored 43 runs off just 18 balls, said after the win. “I was a bit lucky on the first ball and then I thought today was my day. I was in my position and confident about bowling.”After initial relief, Gill created the atmosphereThat “lucky” moment has already arrived Bhuvneshwar Kumar When an inside edge went for four, but Gill countered it in style. He changed gears quickly and put RCB under pressure by adopting an aggressive approach in the powerplay.Reflecting on his mindset during the chase, he said, “The energy was very high after the second over. I just felt like I was in the zone.”Gill’s aggressive intent, combined with pace contributions jos buttler and late abstinence Rahul TewatiaThis ensured that GT remained ahead despite a slight middle-order wobble.“Tewatia is a very important player for us. That was one of the conversations we had in the timeout. He made some good runs and everybody got hits in the middle,” Gill said.Patidar acknowledges Gill’s influenceOn the other hand, RCB captain Rajat Patidar admitted that Gill’s powerplay attack proved to be decisive.“Obviously, the score was not good enough on this track,” admitted Patidar. “But the way Shubman played, especially in the powerplay, he put us under pressure and took the game away.”Despite scoring just 155 runs, RCB managed to stretch the contest much longer than expected, which Patidar considered a positive.He said, “I think the way we bowled and extended it to 15-16 overs is a positive sign. There was good grass there which helped the fast bowlers.Lessons for RCB from GT’s move forwardPatidar also pointed to key areas for improvement. He said, “We gave away a lot of wickets in the middle and due to this we were on the back foot.”Earlier, GT bowlers had laid the foundation by bowling out RCB for 155 runs with disciplined bowling coupled with fast fielding.However, in the end, the night belonged to Gill – a mixture of luck, timing and possession. As he himself said, once that initial moment suited him, everything else just followed.

New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party The All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Thursday rejected allegations of tampering with postal ballot boxes. On allegations that there is “active collusion” with the BJP Election Commission BJP leader Tapas Roy said, “Ballot boxes are being opened without the presence of any relevant party stakeholders.” He said ruling party leaders were “spreading rumours” as they were “preparing the ground for their defeat” in the assembly elections.Roy reached Netaji Indoor Stadium when TMC leaders Kunal Ghosh and Shashi Panja protested over the allegations. “We will deploy two people to take care of the strong room… They (TMC) are just spreading rumors because they are preparing the ground for their defeat… There is a three-tier security arrangement here,” he told reporters, as quoted by ANI.“They can’t do that. They can’t gather in front of the strong room.” There should be no protest or sloganeering in front of the strong room. This is wrong. Why did Kolkata Police allow this?…What manipulation are they (TMC) accusing us of? When we heard about it two of us came here. When we were asked to come here, we came.”This came after TMC leader Shashi Panja accused BJP leaders of creating ruckus and said the protest was peaceful before their arrival. He said, “We were sitting on the dharna peacefully…BJP leaders created ruckus here.”TMC leader Kunal Ghosh also accused the BJP and questioned why he and others were not allowed entry during Roy’s tenure. “We were removed, but Tapas da moved in. What do you call this? It is like his own party office. These are agents of the Central Police along with BJP people… It is not in the hands of the Kolkata Police; even all the Kolkata Police personnel are now appointed by the Election Commission. As a result, our...Hey, if he is a candidate then we are also candidates. “Will you remove a candidate?” He said.“We were there peacefully. They came here with the intention of stealing; they were working secretly here, opening the strong room without informing anyone before our people arrived. After Dr. Panza, I and our team arrived, we intervened and pointed this out. Yet, we were not allowed to enter. Later, when we were sitting peacefully and our work and discussion was going on, BJP came and created trouble. Why is BJP so jealous?” He added.The matter escalated further when TMC accused BJP of “killing democracy in broad daylight”.In a post on Twitter, the party also shared a video and described the alleged “opening of ballot boxes” as gross electoral fraud. “Worryingly, this is the murder of democracy in broad daylight. CCTV footage has revealed how @BJP4India, in active collusion with @ECISVEEP, is opening ballot boxes without the presence of any concerned party stakeholders. This is blatant electoral fraud which is being carried out openly with the full knowledge and patronage of the Election Commission,” the party said.The party further accused the BJP of adopting “every dirty trick” to defeat it in the assembly elections and “even tampering with EVMs” in desperation. “They have tried every dirty trick, name-dropping, voter intimidation, central force terror, cash infusion and so on, and have failed miserably. Now, in sheer desperation, they have resorted to tampering with EVMs. But Bengal is not Maharashtra, Delhi or Bihar. We will not sit silent and watch them loot our democracy,” he said.The development comes a day after the second and final phase of voting in West Bengal, which saw 92.67 percent voting. Counting of votes is to take place on May 4.

Veteran singer Sudesh Bhosle has revealed about his close relationship with the legendary icon Asha BhosleRemembering his discipline, passion and warmth. Asha Bhosle died on April 12, 2026 in Mumbai at the age of 92. He breathed his last at Breach Candy Hospital after a brief illness caused by chest infection and exhaustion.In a recent conversation with my friend, Bhosle reflected on their decades-long association, revealing how Asha Bhosle remained emotionally and physically committed to music till the end.

‘We never remain without speaking’

Talking about their close relationship, Bhosle said, “Our relationship has always been very close. We never went without talking – either she would call me or I would call her.”He also recalled a recent conversation that left a lasting impression on him. “Even when she was not well, she told me, ‘Sudesh, write down September 8 – we have to do a show on my birthday.’ I didn’t know that something would change within a week… but that was his feeling.

‘Riyaz till the last day’

Throwing light on his discipline, he told how music remained the center of his life.He said, “Whenever I called him, tanpura was playing in the background. He did not leave Riyaz till the end.”Recalling her advice, Bhosle said, “She used to tell me, ‘Don’t get into complicated ragas at this age – just practice your saregamama in double, quadruple, eightfold speed. If you do that, you will not be afraid of any stage in the world.'”He further added, ‘Even recently he told me, ‘First thing in the morning, remove the tremor in your voice, then work on your lung power.’ She kept working on herself till the last day.”

‘Don’t separate me from music’

Despite age and health concerns, Asha Bhosle continued to perform actively into her 90s.Bhosale recalled, “At the age of 90, she did a big show in Dubai and then performed at Jio Garden. During rehearsals, we could see that she was physically tired. I told her, ‘Why are you taking so much stress? Why don’t you teach instead?’His response, she said, was unforgettable: “She said, ‘The day someone tells me to stop singing, I will jump out the window… Don’t separate me from music, singing or my musicians.'”

Speaking about her work ethic, Bhosle said that Asha Bhosle never took her art for granted – no matter how many times she performed a song.He shared, “Every Sunday, we would go to her house for rehearsals. Even the songs that she had sung thousands of times – she would rehearse each one before the show.”“From morning till evening, we would practice every song. That level of dedication is rare.”
