IPL 2026 Auction: 7 Players Who Could Remain Unsold

IPL 2026 auction will see ten teams competing to fill 77 available slots, with the Kolkata Knight Riders holding the highest number of slots (13 players, including six overseas), while Punjab Kings have the fewest, with just four slots. The auction is scheduled for December 16 in Abu Dhabi, and while many players are expected to attract big bids, several former stars may remain unsold this year. Vijay Shankar Vijay Shankar, previously with Chennai Super Kings, was not retained by the franchise. The 34-year-old played six matches last season, scoring 118 runs without bowling. Across his IPL career with four franchises - CSK, SRH, DC, and GT - he has played 78 matches, scored 1,233 runs, and taken nine wickets, but his prospects for IPL 2026 appear slim. Faf du Plessis Faf du Plessis, 41, has had a long IPL career since 2012, most recently scoring 202 runs in nine matches for Delhi Capitals. However, considering his age and recent performance, the former South African captain is unlikely to be picked. Mohit Sharma Veteran Mohit Sharma, 37, had a disappointing 2025 season with Delhi Capitals, taking only two wickets in eight matches. Having played 120 matches for four teams and taking 134 wickets, Sharma’s chances of being bought this year seem limited. Rahul Tripathi Rahul Tripathi, formerly of Sunrisers Hyderabad and CSK, has struggled to make an impact. Despite securing high-profile contracts in previous editions, he scored just 55 runs in five matches last season. Having played 100 IPL matches for five teams, scoring 2,291 runs, Tripathi is also likely to remain unsold. Glenn Maxwell Glenn Maxwell has faced criticism for underwhelming performances despite his big-name status. Purchased by Punjab Kings for ₹4.20 crore last season, he scored only 48 runs in seven matches. With a history of high price tags and low impact, Maxwell may find it difficult to attract bids in 2026. Moeen Ali England all-rounder Moeen Ali, 38, played six matches last season for KKR, scoring just five runs and taking six wickets. Released by KKR, his age and underwhelming performance make his sale in IPL 2026 improbable. Karn Sharma Finally, Karn Sharma, also 38, had a limited impact last season with Mumbai Indians, taking seven wickets in six matches at an economy rate of 8.53. His past few seasons have been inconsistent, and he may remain unsold at the upcoming auction.

Air India, Akasa, IndiGo Cancel Flights After Ethiopia Volcano Ash Reaches Indian Airspace

Indian airlines, including Air India, Akasa Air and IndiGo, have begun scaling back flight operations after volcanic ash from Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi eruption drifted into Indian airspace on Monday night. The ash plume, travelling at high altitudes, prompted precautionary cancellations, route changes and safety inspections across several carriers. Air India said on Tuesday that it had cancelled 11 flights since the plume was first detected.  #ImportantAdvisoryThe following Air India flights have been cancelled as we carry out precautionary checks on those aircraft which had flown over certain geographical locations after the Hayli Gubbi volcanic eruption.Our ground teams across the network are keeping passengers… — Air India (@airindia) November 25, 2025 In a post on X, the airline stated, "The following Air India flights have been cancelled as we carry out precautionary checks on those aircraft which had flown over certain geographical locations after the Hayli Gubbi volcanic eruption. Our ground teams across the network are keeping passengers updated on their flight status and are providing immediate assistance, including hotel accommodation. We are making every effort to arrange alternative travel at the earliest." Air India’s Cancellations and Ongoing Safety Checks The carrier cancelled seven international services on Monday, including AI 106 (Newark–Delhi), AI 102 (New York JFK–Delhi), AI 2204 (Dubai–Hyderabad) and AI 2290 (Doha–Mumbai). On Tuesday, four domestic flights were also withdrawn: AI 2822 (Chennai–Mumbai), AI 2466 (Hyderabad–Delhi), and AI 2444 / 2445 (Mumbai–Hyderabad–Mumbai) as well as AI 2471 / 2472 (Mumbai–Kolkata–Mumbai). The airline is conducting precautionary inspections on aircraft that recently crossed regions affected by the ash. Volcanic ash, made up of fine particles of glass and rock, can pose risks to aircraft engines and external surfaces, making these checks essential before aircraft return to service. Akasa Air and IndiGo Respond to Disruptions Akasa Air also cancelled select services in West Asia scheduled for November 24 and 25, including flights to Jeddah, Kuwait and Abu Dhabi. IndiGo cancelled six flights on Monday and diverted several others, according to initial reports. KLM took similar action, highlighting how widely the plume’s effects have been felt. Authorities have advised airlines operating through West Asia and nearby regions to stay alert to changing atmospheric conditions as ash traces were reported in parts of the Arabian Peninsula. The Hayli Gubbi Eruption: A Rare Geological Event The Hayli Gubbi volcano in Ethiopia’s Erta Ale Range erupted early on Sunday morning, its first eruption in nearly 12,000 years. The blast released volcanic ash, sulphur dioxide and fine particles that were carried northeastwards by high-altitude winds. By around 10 pm on Monday, the plume reached India, according to weather trackers. The cloud was travelling at altitudes between 15,000-25,000 feet, with some pockets reaching as high as 45,000 feet. Forecasts indicated that the plume would move from Gujarat towards Rajasthan, north-west Maharashtra, Delhi, Haryana and Punjab before drifting further northeast. Meteorological Alerts and DGCA Advisories On Tuesday, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the ash cloud was now drifting towards China and was expected to clear Indian skies by around 7.30 PM. Earlier models had suggested a possible impact across Gujarat, Delhi–NCR, Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued detailed guidance instructing airlines to avoid volcanic-ash zones and adjust their routes, altitudes and fuel planning accordingly. Carriers were also told to report any suspected in-flight encounters with ash, such as unusual engine behaviour or smoke-like odours in the cabin. If ash affects airport operations, the DGCA said runways, taxiways and aprons must be inspected promptly, with flight movements restricted until surfaces are deemed safe.

Om, Sun And Kovidara: What The Three Sacred Symbols On The Ram Temple Flag Mean

Om, Sun And Kovidara: What The Three Sacred Symbols On The Ram Temple Flag Mean

Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached Ayodhya on Tuesday to raise the 'Dharma Dhwaj' atop the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, an event locals describe as the fulfilment of a centuries-old dream. PM began his visit to the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple complex with prayers at the revered Saptmandir, setting the tone for a landmark day in Ayodhya. A Flag Designed For The Temple’s Summit The ceremonial flag, created specifically for the temple’s towering structure, measures 22 feet in length and 11 feet in width. A parachute specialist from Ahmedabad crafted the banner to withstand strong winds and high-altitude conditions at the 161-foot summit of the temple. Weighing between two and three kilograms, the flag has been reinforced for long-term endurance atop a 42-foot flagpole. Meaning Behind the Sacred Symbols The Dharma Dhwaj carries three revered symbols: Om, the Sun, and the Kovidara tree, each deeply rooted in Sanatan Dharma. 'Om' denotes the eternal spiritual sound and cosmic energy that forms the universe’s foundation. 'The Sun' reflects Lord Ram’s Suryavanshi lineage and represents divine strength. The 'Kovidara tree', believed to be a hybrid of the Mandar and Parijat trees crafted by Rishi Kashyap, stands as a reminder of ancient wisdom and the continuity of sacred traditions. The flag will be hoisted during the Abhijit Muhurat on Vivah Panchami, a time considered especially auspicious in the Ramayan tradition. Sacred Saffron Flag To Be Raised At Noon At noon, PM Modi will hoist the temple’s sacred saffron flag atop the 191-foot shikhar, an act that symbolises the formal completion of the grand Ram Temple’s construction. The ceremony, steeped in tradition, is expected to usher in a renewed sense of cultural pride and unity across the nation. The Prime Minister will also address the gathering during this historic moment.

IPL 2026: Bowlers With Most Five-Wicket Hauls In Indian Premier League History

Indian Premier League (IPL) is famous not only for its explosive batting but also for the brilliance of its bowlers. In a high-scoring T20 format where batsmen play aggressively, taking a five-wicket haul is a rare and highly impactful achievement. Such spells can completely shift the momentum of a match. Here are the bowlers who hold the record for the most five-wicket hauls in an IPL innings. James Faulkner Australian all-rounder James Faulkner has left a unique mark on the IPL. Representing teams like the Rajasthan Royals, he recorded two five-wicket hauls, with his best figures being 5/16. Known for his deceptive slower deliveries and clever variations, Faulkner often outsmarted batsmen at crucial moments. Jaydev Unadkat Indian pacer Jaydev Unadkat, despite switching between multiple teams, has consistently shown his wicket-taking ability. He also has two five-wicket hauls, with his best performance being 5/25. While his economy rate has fluctuated, his knack for breaking partnerships has made him a valuable asset. Jasprit Bumrah One of the most feared bowlers in IPL history, Jasprit Bumrah has also taken two five-wicket hauls. His best spell - 5/10 - is considered one of the deadliest in the tournament. Known for his pinpoint yorkers, sharp bouncers, and remarkable control, Bumrah continues to dominate in crunch situations. Mark Wood English speedster Mark Wood is another member of this elite club with two five-wicket hauls. Famous for his express pace, Wood has delivered memorable spells, including 5/19 and 5/14 for CSK. His fiery bowling has often rattled batsmen and shifted matches in his team's favor. When will IPL 2026 start? The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season is set to begin on March 15, 2026, with the final scheduled for May 31, 2026.
