Virat Kohli

The Royal Challengers Bangalore had named Virat Kohli as their full-time skipper replacing New Zealand all-rounder Daniel Vettori in the 6th edition of the Indian Premier League in 2013 as the RCB finished the season at fifth spot.

Virat Kohli had joined the RCB in 2008 while in 2011, he was the only player retained by the RCB. Despite RCB’s disappointing performances in 2013, Kohli had finished as the season’s third-highest run-scorer scoring 634 runs at an average of 45.28.

Apart from being one of the most successful RCB batsmen, Kohli is the eleventh highest run-scorer of IPL with 1639 runs and a strike rate of 119.28.

The RCB had finished its campaign on 3rd in 2015 and 2nd in 2016. These were the highest points of Kohli’s IPL captaincy that led his team to the playoffs.

These two IPL seasons had been witnessed several batting records by the RCB top order Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers.

In 2015, Kohli and AB De Villiers had scored a record partnership of 215 runs against Mumbai Indians that had broken next year in 2016 when the pair again scored 229-runs partnership against Gujarat Lions.

In 2016, Kohli had scored 973 runs in 16 matches at an average of 81.08 and also scored four centuries in one season. It was the highest runs and number of centuries by anyone in one IPL season.

RCB’s fate suffered a drastic dip after Kohli took over as India’s all-format captain as his franchise had finished 8th, 6th and 8th from 2017 to 2019. It was the RCBs worst ever performance in two seasons.

In 2017, RCB suffered the ignominy of posting the lowest-ever IPL total after being all out for just 49 in 9.4 overs, losing the match by 82 runs chasing 132 against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Virat Kohli’s association with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) goes back to the first season of IPL and even though Kohli has announced he will step down from captaincy after the 2021 season, he has said he wants to finish his IPL career with the Bengaluru franchise.

Delhi records coolest day of June as rain brings relief from heat

Heavy rain and cloudy conditions helped Delhi record its coolest day of June, with the India Meteorological Department forecasting further relief from heat in the coming days.

Delhi experienced a significant break from the intense summer heat after rainfall and cloudy skies pushed temperatures down, making it the coolest day of June so far.

The change in weather brought much-needed relief to residents who had been dealing with high temperatures and humid conditions over the past several weeks. Rainfall was reported in several parts of the national capital and adjoining NCR regions, leading to a noticeable drop in daytime temperatures. Similar weather conditions have recently helped keep temperatures below normal across the city.

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the combination of rain-bearing systems and cloud cover contributed to the cooler conditions. The weather department has indicated that pleasant weather is likely to continue, with chances of additional rainfall and thunderstorms over the next few days.

The rainfall not only lowered temperatures but also improved outdoor conditions after a prolonged spell of heat. Earlier this month, Delhi had experienced episodes of extreme weather, including heatwave conditions and dust storms, making the recent spell of rain a welcome change for residents.

IMD’s latest forecast suggests that while temperatures may gradually rise later in the week, intermittent rain and thunderstorms could continue to provide temporary relief from the summer heat.

Weather officials have advised people to stay updated on local forecasts as changing weather conditions could bring brief spells of rain, gusty winds and thunderstorms across Delhi-NCR.

Uddhav Sena MPs unreachable as Delhi meetings fuel fresh split speculation

Fresh uncertainty surrounds Shiv Sena (UBT) after several MPs reportedly became unreachable, with attention now focused on crucial meetings in Delhi.

Fresh political uncertainty has gripped the Shiv Sena (UBT) after several of its Lok Sabha MPs reportedly became unreachable, prompting senior leaders to make personal efforts to contact them amid growing speculation of a possible rebellion within the party.

Party chief Uddhav Thackeray and other senior leaders are understood to be reaching out to MPs as concerns grow over potential defections. The developments come ahead of a parliamentary committee meeting in Delhi, where several MPs from the Uddhav Thackeray camp are expected to gather.

Reports suggest that some MPs from the Shiv Sena (UBT) faction could hold discussions in the national capital alongside leaders from the rival Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde. Sources have indicated that a group of MPs may explore forming a separate faction in Parliament before potentially aligning with the Shinde-led camp, although no official announcement has been made.

Names being discussed in political circles include MPs such as Sanjay Dina Patil, Sanjay Deshmukh, Nagesh Patil Ashtikar, Omraje Nimbalkar, Bhausaheb Wakchaure and Sanjay Jadhav. However, at least one MP, Sanjay Dina Patil, has publicly rejected reports linking him to any rebel group.

Meanwhile, senior Uddhav camp leaders including Arvind Sawant and Anil Desai are expected to remain actively engaged in efforts to maintain party unity. Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut has also been in Delhi amid the unfolding developments.

The latest episode has revived memories of previous political upheavals in Maharashtra and intensified speculation over whether the Shiv Sena (UBT) could face another significant organisational challenge in the coming days. As meetings continue in Delhi, political observers will be closely watching for any formal announcements from either camp.
