IPL 2026: Three Big Stars Confirmed To Miss Next Season

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been attracting the best talent from all around the globe since its inception all the way back in 2008. Be it young and upcoming stars or cricketing veterans, all kinds of players are seen in the competition every year. The next edition of the IPL is still pretty far away at this point, but with the auction just around the corner, excitement is gradually building in the fanbase. Unfortunately, some big names will not be a participating in it next year, having confirmed their exit in the past few days.  These 3 Stars Will Not Play In IPL 2026 1) Andre Russell Andre Russell established himself has a destructive lower-order batsman, and a wicket-taking mid-innings fast bowler over the years. His exploits with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) rendered the West Indian all-rounder a legend at the franchise. KKR releasing him ahead of the IPL 2026 Auction raised eyebrows, and many other franchises were speculated to have a go at signing him. Sadly, Russell recently announced his retirement from the competition, revealing that he would now be continuing as Kolkata's 'Power Coach'. 2) Faf du Plessis Faf du Plessis is best-known for his time with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). He scored many runs for the 5-time champions up top, and won two titles with them, in 2018 and 2021. He then went on to captain the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), and last played for the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the IPL. Faf, like Russell, was released before the auction, after which he announced that he would be taking part in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) next year instead. 3) Glenn Maxwell Glenn Maxwell shot to fame with his explosive stint with the Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) in 2014. He reached the finals with them that year, scoring 500+ runs, and was a hot commodity in the competition for a few years afterwards. The veteran hadn't been at his best in the last couple of years, got released, and then announced, via an Instagram post, that he wouldn't be putting his name in the IPL 2026 Auction.

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Range - Know All Details

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Range - Know All Details

The e Vitara is all set to be launched today, and it will be an important launch considering that it will be the first Maruti Suzuki electric car. The e Vitara will come with two battery packs, but the larger battery pack with a 61kwh unit will be expected to deliver more than 500km range.  This is an ARAI figure, and this is for the single motor FWD unit with the 61 kWh battery pack, of course. There is also a dual motor AWD version abroad, but the Indian market initially will get the single motor only.  The WLTP cycle, on the other hand, shows 428km per charge for the 61kWh battery pack, and the smaller 49kwh battery pack will have a range of nearly 450km. The e Vitara with 500km plus range is in the ballpark of its rivals within the Rs 15-25 lakh space.  We expect the India spec versions to be well-equipped and like the cars shown at the Auto Expo. Hence, expect more features when compared to other Maruti Suzuki cars. The features list could include a premium audio system, ADAS,  sunroof, 360-degree camera, powered driver seats, ventilated seats, 7 airbags and more. The range of 500km plus is important as it will help the e Vitara compete with its rivals in this highly competitive space. The rivals of the e Vitara range from the Creta electric from Hyundai to Tata Curvv, plus the Mahindra BE 6 as well. We will get the price announcement on 2nd December, as well as the new EV ecosystem that Maruti Suzuki is expected to announce, so stay tuned for more details on the first electric Maruti Suzuki.

India’s Challan Spike: How Online Platforms Are Helping Drivers Fight Back & Safeguard Driving Records

India’s Challan Spike: How Online Platforms Are Helping Drivers Fight Back & Safeguard Driving Records

By Himanshu Gupta For many Indian motorists, receiving a traffic challan that feels unfair has become an increasingly common moment of irritation. Even as enforcement has become digitised through automated cameras and e-challans, the experience of challenging a disputed penalty remains slow, confusing and often discouraging. The legal right to contest is clear, but the process of exercising that right still feels more burdensome than it should be. The journey begins on the state traffic department’s e-challan portal, where motorists must examine every detail of the alleged violation from timestamps to location and photographic evidence before submitting their own proofs such as dashcam footage, GPS logs, toll slips or witness statements. While the online system was designed as a convenience, many users find their complaints rejected or left unresolved. When this digital route doesn’t yield relief, the matter shifts into a space most citizens dread: the physical courts. Once a challan enters the judicial process, either because an online dispute was dismissed or because the challan was issued as a court challan from the start, the burden increases significantly. A motorist must locate their case in court records, formally file a request to contest, and rely on a lawyer to prepare a written defiance, submit a Vakalatnama, file documents and argue the case. Hearings often extend over weeks or months, requiring multiple leaves from work, travel to court and meticulous documentation. For many, the cost of contesting exceeds the penalty itself. Yet motorists persist because ignoring a challan can lead to higher penalties, summons, license complications or a lingering blemish on an otherwise clean driving record. A challan is only an allegation, not a verdict, and the right to contest is essential to ensure fairness in an increasingly automated enforcement landscape. What is slowly changing is the supporting ecosystem around this process. Technology-driven platforms, including integrated services like the ChallanPay.in portal, now assist motorists by consolidating challans from various sources, helping them organise evidence, track deadlines, and monitor case status without repeated court visits. These tools do not replace the legal system, but they significantly reduce the operational load on citizens. With filings increasingly handled digitally and representation streamlined, nearly 98% of contested cases today do not require the motorist’s personal appearance in court, a notable shift from the cumbersome procedures of the past. The right to contest remains a crucial safeguard for citizens, but the system has long demanded time, money and patience. As technology continues to soften the rough edges of the process, motorists may finally find that seeking fairness doesn’t have to feel like a battle against the system itself.

EV Push Slows Down: Automakers Hold Back Investments Until India-EU FTA Is Finalised

EV Push Slows Down: Automakers Hold Back Investments Until India-EU FTA Is Finalised

The scheme to promote manufacturing of electric passenger cars (SPMEPC) is expected to gather momentum only after the India-EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is finalised, as global automakers prefer to wait for clarity on the trade deal before committing investments, the Parliament was informed on Tuesday. In a written reply to Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Heavy Industries Bhupathiraju Srinivasa Varma informed that several companies have indicated they will decide on joining the scheme once the FTA terms are settled. Despite the October 21 deadline, no automaker submitted an application. Companies told the Government that the uncertainty around the India-EU FTA was a major factor behind their hesitation. They also raised concerns about restrictions on rare-earth magnets, which may affect their ability to meet Domestic Value Addition (DVA) requirements. In addition, firms pointed out that the mandated investment levels and timelines under the scheme could be difficult to meet. The Heavy Industries Ministry said it has carried out extensive outreach to encourage participation. This included consultations during the scheme’s design, coordination with Invest India and various ministries, and communication through Indian embassies in countries where major global automakers are headquartered. A recent stakeholder meeting was also held to resolve industry queries after the scheme failed to attract applicants. Regarding the proposed 15 per cent import duty concession for EVs in exchange for investments of Rs 4,150 crore, the Government clarified that no revisions are being considered at present. It also said that while it has not formally assessed the impact of the ongoing India-EU negotiations, companies themselves have linked their decisions to the outcome of the trade talks. The Ministry added that there is currently no plan to reopen the application window or modify the conditions of the SPMEPC scheme.

IPL 2026: Delhi Capitals Coach Badani Opens Up On Releasing Faf du Plessis

IPL 2026: Delhi Capitals Coach Badani Opens Up On Releasing Faf du Plessis

New Delhi: Delhi Capitals head coach Hemang Badani said releasing big-hitting former South African skipper Faf du Plessis was a difficult call but the franchise wanted to move towards a younger and more aggressive option aligned with the team's style of play. Du Plessis played for Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiant during his IPL run that ended on Monday after his decision to retire from the league. He was a part of DC's setup last season and will now feature in the Pakistan Super League. "It's never easy to release a player of Faf du Plessis' caliber. Letting him go was a really tough decision because he has been a stellar performer in the IPL for many years," Badani said during the 'TATA IPL Retention' show in Jiostar. "But we felt it was time to move towards a younger option, someone who could bring a more aggressive style that fits the brand of cricket we want to play." Explaining the rationale behind parting ways with Australian batter Jake Fraser-McGurk, Badani said: "With Jake Fraser-McGurk, we backed him based how he performed last season, but at nine crore, we didn’t feel we got enough value from that investment. "So, we felt it was best to let him go as well. Overall, we are quite pleased with the squad we have right now." DC need to lock in their top order: Kumble Former India skipper Anil Kumble believes Delhi Capitals have got good Indian talent but must firm up their opening combination quickly. "Delhi Capitals absolutely need to lock in their opening combination," Kumble said. "They have strong Indian options with Nitish Rana joining as a left-hander. Players like KL Rahul, Abhishek Porel, Karun Nair and Nitish Rana give them solid domestic firepower. "They must decide who bats at one, two, three and four; KL Rahul has shifted from number four to opening, so consistency is key. Once settled, they can back Tristan Stubbs and overseas all-rounders in the middle order." Kumble said last season's sixth-placed finishers Sunrisers Hyderabad will also need to address their middle order issues and strengthen their bowling in the upcoming auction. "SRH certainly need a lot of bowlers this time, and I have a feeling they may also look at someone like David Miller. He brings that left-handed balance and proven finishing ability, something their middle order lacked last season. "They were heavily dependent on their openers, who were exceptional when they reached the final earlier. But strengthening that middle phase is extremely important. "If they have Klaasen and Miller, two South Africans, controlling the middle overs, it gives SRH a far more solid and powerful line-up." The IPL auction is scheduled on December 16 in Abu Dhabi.

Viral '19-Minute Instagram Video' Sparks Confusion, Misidentification, & Online Speculation: All You Need To Know

19 Minute Viral Video: A new trend circulating across social media has triggered widespread confusion, with users repeatedly referencing 'Instagram Viral Videos 19 Minutes' in comment sections across platforms. The phrase has rapidly gone viral, prompting questions, theories and misinformation, as users attempt to understand the context behind the sudden surge. The Origin Of The Online Buzz Multiple online discussions suggest that a 19-minute 32-second video allegedly featuring a couple began circulating on Instagram. The source of the clip and its authenticity have not been independently verified. Despite the absence of confirmed details, the video reportedly spread across several platforms, leading to speculation and commentary from users attempting to uncover more information. As the content circulated further, the narrative surrounding it became increasingly unclear, with unverified claims blending with assumptions. Misidentification Leads To Targeted Comments Amid the speculation, an influencer identified as Sneha Khanwalkar, popular by her Instagram ID sweet_zannat_12374, became mistakenly associated with the viral clip. Users online incorrectly identified her as the individual seen in the alleged video. Following the rumour, her posts began attracting thousands of comments referencing the so-called 19-minute Instagram video. The sudden wave of engagement resulted in a rapid increase in her visibility. Within a short span, her follower count reportedly surged to more than 340,000, although the association with the video remained unsubstantiated. Public Response From The Influencer The influencer addressed the situation in a video response posted to her Instagram account. In the reel, she compared her face with an image widely circulated online, which allegedly depicted the woman from the viral clip.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by 🤍سوویت جنت♡ (@sweet_zannat_12374) The post took a direct approach to the rumour and appeared to be intended as clarification rather than participation in the trend. The video attracted significant attention and, as of five days since being shared, has garnered more than 666k views. Despite extensive online discussions, speculation and repeated sharing of related keywords, there is no confirmed information regarding the authenticity, origin or individuals involved in the alleged 19-minute clip. At present, the topic continues to trend, primarily fueled by user reactions, rumours and comment chains rather than verified details. The situation highlights once again how unverified content and mistaken identity can rapidly escalate online, often with real-world impact for individuals drawn into viral narratives without involvement.

Auto Sales Hit New Highs: Maruti, Tata Motors, Mahindra Record Double-Digit November Growth

Auto Sales Hit New Highs: Maruti, Tata Motors, Mahindra Record Double-Digit November Growth

India’s passenger vehicle market recorded strong growth in November, with domestic wholesales rising to around 4.25 lakh units, marking a year-on-year jump of 20.7 per cent. The surge in demand was driven largely by reduced prices after the recent GST rationalisation, which has encouraged customers to buy new vehicles. Maruti Suzuki India (MSIL) reported that the market sentiment remains very strong. Partho Banerjee, senior executive officer of marketing and sales at MSIL, said during a virtual press conference that eight of the company’s models are completely sold out at the factory level, with no units available for dispatch. He added that dealers currently have around 80,000 units in stock, which is equal to 19 days of inventory, while another 40,000 units are on the way. MSIL’s domestic wholesales rose 21 per cent year-on-year to 170,971 units in November. Banerjee also said that December is expected to be another strong month as the production team is working overtime to meet demand. Overall, he estimated that the industry’s passenger vehicle wholesales in November this year were about 425,000 units compared to roughly 352,000 units in November last year. For the full financial year FY26, he expects the auto industry to grow by 5–6 per cent. Industry data from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) earlier showed that domestic PV wholesales had grown 17.2 per cent year-on-year in October, touching 460,739 units, supported by festive demand and GST reforms. Among individual companies, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles secured the second position in domestic wholesales for November. The company dispatched 57,436 units, reflecting a 22 per cent rise from last year. Mahindra & Mahindra followed closely with 56,336 units, recording a growth of 21.9 per cent. Hyundai Motor India also posted positive numbers, with domestic wholesales up 4.3 per cent to 50,340 units. Toyota Kirloskar Motor reported domestic wholesales of 30,085 units in November, an increase of 19.5 per cent. Varinder Wadhwa, vice-president for sales, service and used car business, said that strong festive demand, GST reforms, and the success of new models like the Urban Cruiser Hyryder Aero Edition and Fortuner Leader Edition have contributed to the company’s growth.

Electric MPV Battle Heats Up As Vinfast Unveils Limo Green To Rival Carens EV

Vinfast had started their innings with the VF7 and the VF6 while now the Vietnamese carmaker is charting its next course with an MPV. The first launch of 2026 will be an electric MPV called Limo Green. The Limo Green would be a rival to the likes of the Kia Carens EV. The Limo Green would be coming at the start of next year and will come with a 60.13kWh battery pack with 450km claimed range. The MPV also has a front axle electric motor which develops 201hp and 280Nm of torque. Design, Dimensions and Interior This MPV looks good and has the typical Vinfast design language but with a mix of SUV as well as an MPV silhouette. The Limo Green has a length of 4,740mm and a wheelbase of 2,840mm. This MPV is bigger than others and its size will be an advantage. The interiors are minimalist and have the typical V focus while it also has a touchscreen focussed cabin. There is an all black look while the cabin could be changed for the Indian market too. The Limo Green is a 7 seater and has ample space. India Launch and Market Role This is a crucial new launch for India and will be the third launch for Vinfast in India. It looks like a desirable MPV overall and should be a big success if priced well plus it will be used for fleet services too with electric ride hailing service GSM. This new car would be made in India as well for keeping competitive costs. We expect a launch by January or February next year.
