IPL 2026| 'We don't want to push': Mumbai Indians head coach gives big update on Rohit Sharma

NEW DELHI: Rohit Sharma missed Mumbai Indians’ crucial IPL 2026 clash against Punjab Kings at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. The former Mumbai Indians captain, who has led the franchise to five IPL titles, was rested after suffering a hamstring injury in the previous match.There was considerable speculation around Rohit’s availability, with Mumbai Indians assessing his fitness until the last moment. However, the team decided not to take any risks and opted to rest him.Quinton de Kock replaced Rohit at the top of the order, opening alongside Ryan Rickelton.Mumbai Indians slumped to their fourth consecutive defeat, losing the match by seven wickets to Punjab Kings.Providing an update on Rohit, Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene addressed the situation after the match.“He (Rohit) started running yesterday, [we’ll take] day to day to see how he feels. He knows his body better than anybody else so it’s nothing serious but at the same time we don’t want to push and it’s early season still,” Jayawardene said in the post-match press conference.Jayawardene also emphasised that the team’s struggles cannot be blamed on one individual and are a collective responsibility.Mumbai Indians began their IPL 2026 campaign with a six-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders, but have since suffered defeats against Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and now Punjab Kings.“I think it’s on every one of us when we are not doing well. It’s not an individual. It’s pretty much on me, everyone who is involved in the management and all that to see how can we be better,” he said.“I know we are playing good cricket. We are not taken out completely, but at the same time the other teams are much better, clinical; obviously the confidence is high as well when they have that kind of start so we just need to control phases that we can control. So I think it’s not just on one individual. As a franchise, as a team management, we need to do things better to get into some rhythm and then get a few wins under our belt that will give us that confidence,” the MI head coach added.With this result, Punjab Kings moved to the top of the points table with four wins and one no-result, overtaking defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Mumbai Indians, meanwhile, slipped to ninth place with just one win from five matches.

The BJP should answer: How many of the 21 states in which it is in government have women chief ministers? Even your Delhi CM does not have full powers; she is a ‘half chief minister’. Why is there such a hurry?” he asked.

Aditya was so chilled': Gaurav praises 'Dhurandhar' director


'I have seen abusive directors, but Aditya Dhar was so chilled': Gaurav Gera heaps praise on 'Dhurandhar' filmmaker
Filming ‘Dhurandhar’ turned into a delightful experience for actor Gaurav Gera, thanks to the composed temperament of director Aditya Dhar. In stark contrast to the typical frenzied atmospheres of film shoots, Dhar’s measured approach fostered a nurturing environment where creativity thrived. Gera appreciated how Dhar’s insightful remarks resonated with his own perspectives, reflecting the director’s confidence in his team. Read on to know more in detail.

Actor Gaurav Gera, who played undercover agent Aalam in the blockbuster film ‘Dhurandhar’, has opened up about his experience working with director Aditya Dhar. The actor described the filmmaker as one of the most calm, evolved, and intellectually sorted filmmakers he has encountered, a stark contrast to the loud, high-pressure sets he has seen in the past.Dhurandhar 2 Review

Aditya Dhar’s clarity of thought left Gaurav Gera inspired

In an interview with India Today, Gaurav Gera spoke warmly about how Aditya Dhar’s public words resonated with him on a deeply personal level, so much so that he felt the director was speaking directly to him.“This man is so evolved, you know; he has clarity of thought. You will get to know that by listening to his talks. I remember, he was giving a speech somewhere or was at an event on stage. He spoke about the industry and how at times you feel it’s not for you, and then one moment changes everything. I felt like he was talking to me directly. That’s the beauty of this man,” Gera shared.He also extended his admiration to Dhar’s wife, actress Yami Gautam, calling both of them grounded individuals. “I feel intellectually they are very, very sorted people,” he said.

Aditya Dhar’s unusual calm on the film set surprised Gaurav Gera

For Gaurav Gera, one moment on the ‘Dhurandhar’ set stood out as a perfect example of the director’s composed leadership style. Despite helming a massive production with a large cast and high stakes, the director was visibly unbothered.“He did it all so easily. I remember once on set, when we were shooting the Lyari, and he was casually scrolling on his phone. I asked him if this is such a big film with such a huge cast and so much happening. Don’t you get tense? He just smiled and said, ‘I have a great team; I have nothing to worry about,'” the actor recalled.Gera drew a sharp contrast between Dhar’s approach and what he has experienced with other filmmakers over the years, making clear that the ‘Dhurandhar’ director’s manner left a lasting impression.“I remember this because I have often seen many filmmakers doing chillam chilli (shouting). I have seen a lot of abusive directors. But here is a man who was so chilled because he trusts his team. He is always smiling and very soft-spoken. Even now, look at him, crediting all his teammates on social media,” Gera added.

More about the ‘Dhurandhar’ film franchise

‘Dhurandhar’ and ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’, led by Ranveer Singh, have gone on to break multiple box office records, cementing their place as some of the biggest hits in recent Indian cinema history.The first installment was released on December 5, 2025, while part two arrived in cinemas on March 19, 2026.

Asian stocks today: Stocks ease but set for weekly gains amid optimism on war de-escalation

Asian stocks edged lower on Friday, pausing after a strong rally this month, as investors dialled back risk ahead of a crucial weekend that could shape the trajectory of the Middle East conflict.MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan slipped 0.8%, though it remained near its highest level since early March. The index is still up 14.5% in April after a sharp fall last month, reflecting strong recovery sentiment.Japan’s Nikkei fell about 1% after hitting a record high a day earlier, while other regional markets also traded in the red. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng dropped 1%, South Korea’s Kospi fell 0.6%, and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 lost 0.3%.

Ceasefire hopes, oil below $100 support sentiment

Investor sentiment has been supported by signs of easing tensions, including a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon that took effect Thursday. US President Donald Trump also indicated that talks with Iran could resume over the weekend, raising hopes of a broader resolution.Oil prices remained below the $100 mark, with Brent crude falling over 1% to around $98 per barrel and WTI dropping about 1.6%, as per Reuters. Despite the decline, prices are still elevated due to ongoing disruptions, particularly the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Profit booking, caution creep in

Despite recent gains, investors showed signs of caution, with many locking in profits after the recent surge. Analysts noted a disconnect between market optimism and underlying risks.“There’s quite a strong contrast between what policymakers and central bankers are saying about the risks… versus what the market is implying,” said Andrew Chorlton of M&G, as quoted by Reuters, adding that the market reaction appears “somewhat complacent.”Nick Twidale of ATFX Global also warned that sustained gains depend on tangible progress. “We need to see some concrete evidence that peace is going to last,” he said, noting that reopening the Strait of Hormuz would be key.

Global cues mixed despite Wall Street highs

Asian markets tracked mixed global cues after Wall Street notched fresh record highs, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq extending gains for a second straight session.Currency markets remained relatively stable, with the euro near a seven-week high at around $1.17, while the dollar index hovered near its lowest levels since early March.Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund has warned that prolonged disruption from the conflict could push the global economy toward recession, underlining the high stakes tied to upcoming diplomatic developments

IPL 2026 Today’s Match : GT vs KKR

In the IPL 2026 match between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) scheduled for April 17, 2026, at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the Titans are heavy favourites to secure their third consecutive victory. The hosts, led by Shubman Gill, have found their rhythm with back-to-back wins, including a clinical performance against Lucknow Super Giants . In contrast, Ajinkya Rahane’s KKR is in the midst of a “nightmare” start, winless after five matches and currently sitting at the bottom of the points table. Kolkata Knight Riders are enduring their worst-ever start to a season, managing just one point from five matches and struggling with both team balance and form. Their batting has been the biggest concern, with constant reshuffling, lack of effective spin-hitters, and only a few positives like Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Injuries have hurt their bowling too, leaving them at risk of an early exit.They now face a resurgent Gujarat Titans side, whose bowling has been solid and whose top order, boosted by Jos Buttler’s return to form, looks dangerous. However, GT’s middle-order remains uncertain, offering KKR a slim chance, if they can capitalize.

Hansika Motwani refuses to clarify divorce rumours: `I have no regrets`

Actress Hansika Motwani parted ways with Sohael Khaturiya after four years. The actress believes in keeping her personal life private and has refrained from divulging details about the split. While she is entangled in a legal battle with her estranged sister-in-law, the actress has finally addressed the buzz and stated that she has no regrets. She also revealed that she was going through a dark phase and is happy that, to date, no one knows what went wrong.

Hansika Motwani on divorce with Sohael Khaturiya

In an interview with Hauterrfly, Hansika was asked how people around her reacted when the most celebrated phase of her life ended. Indirectly addressing the divorce chatter, she said, “People wanted clickbait, they got it. They wanted headlines, they got it. I have never clarified it, nor will I, because it doesn`t matter to me. It`s fine. I have no regrets. It`s better to get off the train if you got onto the wrong train than suffer. I have immense support from my family. I have no regrets. I am very happy where I am,” she said.

Hansika Motwani on love and relationships

Talking about her idea of love, she said, “Love is beautiful, and right now I don’t know when the time is right. I think the universe will guide me.” The Koi… Mil Gaya actress also stated that marriage means companionship, stability, and growth for her.

Revealing how her mother and brother supported her during tough times, Hansika shared, “Both my mother and my brother were like, ‘If you are not comfortable, don’t go through it.’ And they have seen me in a very dark space—a very dark space. I am a very happy, jolly person. For me to go into a dark space, it was kind of alarming. So they were like, ‘Whatever you decide.’ And honestly, till today, no one knows what happened between the two of us, and it’s the best. I always say that what happens between two people is known only to them. There is nothing that another person can say or comment about.”

About Hansika and Sohael

Hansika and Sohael tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in December 2022 after dating for several years. Reports about their separation have been circulating since July 2025. A report in HT City stated, “Hansika has moved in with her mother, while Sohael is staying with his parents.” In March 2026, they were granted a divorce, with the actress claiming no alimony.

After the separation, her sister-in-law Muskaan Nancy James accused her and her brother of domestic violence and harassment. In response, Hansika approached a Mumbai sessions court, seeking Rs 2 crore in damages and a public apology, claiming the accusations were false and defamatory.

Virat Kohli's ‘like’ on German vlogger's Instagram pic goes viral, fans laugh: ‘Iss algorithm ka kuchh karna padhega’


The last time he ‘liked’ actor Avneet Kaur‘s Instagram picture, he blamed it on the algorithm. What will it be this time, fans of cricketer Virat Kohli are wondering, as their eyes spotted his like on a picture of German vlogger LizLaz.

Virat Kohli, LizLaz

Surprisingly, the said like dates back to January 30 this year. The observation went viral in no time. Check it out here:

The cricketer has not yet reacted to the viral news.

In the last instance when his ‘like’ had the internet laughing out loud, it was not the act itself… it was what followed. In 2025, he actually issued an explanation on his Instagram Stories for liking actor Avneet Kaur’s Instagram picture. He had written, “I’d like to clarify that while clearing my feed, it appears the algorithm may have mistakenly registered an interaction. There was absolutely no intent behind it. I request that no unnecessary assumptions be made. Thank you for your understanding.”

The reactions had been hilarious. And this time too, the internet is unrelenting as it reacts to his like on LizLaz’s post. Someone commented “Akaay ke haath se phone lo”, while someone tagged Anushka Sharma, Virat’s wife, and wrote, “Bhabhiji unke phone se galti se maine kr diya tha”. Fans did not miss out on the algorithm references, “Bhaii is algorithm ka kuchh karna pdega” read another comment.
