IPL 2026 Auction: Top 5 Released Players Expected To Attract Mega Bids

All Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises have named their retentions, and while most names are along the expected scheme of things, some notable stars have been let go. Nevertheless, the potential they carry, and history in this tournament leading into the next one poises them as potential big money signings on December 16 in Abu Dhabi, which is when and where the IPL Auction will be held. How things actually turn out remains to be seen, but here's a list of the top 5 released players expected to attract huge bids at the IPL 2026 Auction. Top 5 Released Players Expected To Start A Bidding War 1) Andre Russell West Indian all-rounder Andre Russell is as tried and tested as it gets in the IPL. He had been a destructive force down the order for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for several years, and with him now released, many franchises could look to acquire his services. Not to forget that Russell is also a very smart bowler who can not only chip in with a few overs in the middle, but also provide breakthroughs. 2) Liam Livingstone A somewhat similar story, not in terms of longevity but certainly potential. Liam Livingstone can be extremely handy with the bat, something which the Punjab Kings (PBKS) and lately Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) got to benefit from. He, too, can bowl in the middle-innings if required, and is a very safe fielder, which is a vital quality in T20 cricket. 3) Matheesha Pathirana Matheesha Pathirana's unorthodox sling-bowling action has troubled batsmen. The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) enjoyed his services for a couple of seasons but decided to release the Sri Lankan after a rather underwhelming outing in IPL 2025. Nevertheless, a bowler with a unique quality as such can turn things around on his day, and there are plenty of franchises, like Delhi Capitals (DC), Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) or even Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) that fancy having an asset like Pathirana in their ranks. 4) Vignesh Puthur Vignesh Puthur was another standout performer in the bowling department. Released by Mumbai Indians (MI), the young spinner impressed in his debut season, picking up 6 wickets in just 5 matches and showcasing remarkable promise. An untimely injury cut short what looked like a highly encouraging campaign, but IPL teams would likely want to bank on the potential showcased for the long run. 5) Rachin Ravindra Rachin Ravindra, a promising young talent from New Zealand, was also released by CSK. He scored 222 runs in 10 matches in 2024, and then 191 in 8 games in 2025. The 5-time champions may look to get him back at the IPL 2026 Auction, but so could other franchises to slot in an overseas opener with all the potential to go big and play long innings.

Crafted from the soft under-fleece of Changthangi goats, native to the high-altitude regions of Ladakh, this shawl is known for its unmatched softness, lightweight feel, and exceptional warmth.

Beyond its feel, Pashmina also carries cultural weight, the weaving tradition is centuries old and deeply rooted in Kashmiri heritage. Whether you choose a subtle pastel, an earthy tone, or a richly embroidered piece, a genuine Pashmina elevates your winter wardrobe instantly. 2. Kani Shawl Of Kashmir (Image Source: Pinterest/etsyca) The Kani shawl is one of India’s most celebrated masterpieces, renowned for its intricate woven patterns inspired by nature, Mughal motifs, and classical Iranian art. What sets this shawl apart is its weaving technique, crafted using small wooden sticks known as kanis, instead of the usual shuttle. Each motif is mapped meticulously, making a single shawl take months to complete. The detailed patterns resemble fine paintings executed in wool, giving the Kani shawl an unmistakable royal charm. They pair beautifully with both contemporary and traditional outfits, adding a sense of grandeur without overwhelming the look. 3.

Angora Wool Shawl (Image Source: Pinterest/etsy) Angora shawls, woven from the fleece of Angora rabbits, are prized for their silky softness, feather-light feel, and remarkable insulation. These shawls originate from Himalayan regions like Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, where the art of Angora weaving remains a treasured tradition.

Cozy Elegance: Winter Inspired Interior Trends Transforming Indian Homes In 2025

(By Amrita Gupta) Winter in India has a quiet poetry of its own. The light turns softer, the air feels slower, and homes become the places where people seek warmth, comfort and beauty. Winter 2025 is shaping up to be a year where Indian homes embrace a deeper sense of coziness, tactility and emotional richness. There is a growing desire to create interiors that feel cocooning, elegant and emotionally grounding. Homeowners are seeking sensory comfort, artisanal textures and deeper layers of visual storytelling. The trends are not loud. Instead, they lean toward thoughtful elegance and a more intentional relationship with materials, form and feeling. ALSO READ: Smart Winter Laundry Hacks: Easy Ways To Dry Clothes Indoors Without Odor Warmer Colour Stories Rooted In Nature  Across the country, homeowners are leaning into deeper, earth driven palettes. Shades like terracotta, warm beige, cocoa brown, dusty rose and forest green are making a strong return. These are colours that feel grounded and restorative. In winter, they create a cocoon like effect that makes a space feel intimate without being heavy. When layered with soft whites, muted gold accents and handcrafted textures, the palette feels timeless and modern at the same time. Textures That Comfort And Calm The biggest shift I have noticed is a growing appreciation for touchable surfaces. Bouclé, brushed cotton, velvets and nubby linens are finding space in living rooms and bedrooms. Indian homes have always valued functionality, but winter has encouraged families to seek comfort that is both sensory and stylish. Oversized throws, layered rugs, woven cane accents and soft drapes help create environments that feel welcoming. It is not about maximalism but about depth, warmth and a sense of embrace. Sculptural Lighting And Warm Illumination Lighting has become the quiet hero of winter interiors. Sculptural floor lamps, diffused wall lights and fixtures with organic shapes are redefining the character of rooms. Warm white and amber toned lighting create pockets of glow that instantly elevate the mood of a space. Homeowners should think of lighting as the jewellery of the room. It adds personality, defines texture and sets the emotional tone of the home. Craft As The Centrepiece Of Winter Design India’s craft traditions naturally lend themselves to winter aesthetics. Ceramic vases, hand beaten metal décor, block printed fabrics and artisanal wooden pieces are becoming statement additions. There is a renewed pride in craft across the country and I see this especially in India’s Tier 2 cities, where homeowners are investing in design that feels rooted yet refined. They want homes that reflect individuality and culture, and this has brought handcrafted elements back into the spotlight. The Rise Of Quiet Luxury In Everyday Living  Quiet luxury is becoming a defining theme for 2025. It is not about grand gestures but about thoughtful choices. Clean silhouettes, uncluttered spaces, fine materials and subtly elevated finishes are guiding how Indian homes are being designed. Marble, natural stone, brushed brass and high quality wood are being used in ways that feel understated. The winter season amplifies this trend because it celebrates stillness, softness and the beauty of intentional living. Christmas Inspired Accents That Extend The Winter Mood Christmas decor is becoming more sophisticated in Indian homes and is now a natural extension of winter styling. Warm glow candles, which became very popular during Diwali, are retaining their place. Their soft flicker adds intimacy and works beautifully for Christmas gatherings. They look especially elegant when placed on window sills, consoles or dining tables. Pairing these candles with fresh spruce, eucalyptus, cinnamon sticks and dried citrus creates arrangements that feel festive yet understated. Muted gold ornaments, knitted stockings and textured wreaths blend seamlessly with winter palettes and allow the home to feel celebratory without losing its refined aesthetic. Winter decor in 2025 is ultimately about how a space makes you feel. It is about warmth through colour, comfort through texture, expression through craft and elegance through restraint. As design sensibilities become more mature across India, our homes are evolving into havens that nurture and inspire. Winter simply gives them a softer, richer voice.

Breathing City Air? 8 Everyday Detox Rituals To Protect Your Skin, Lungs, And Immunity

Living in a bustling city comes with its own set of challenges. You are always surrounded by constant traffic fumes, dust filled air, and microscopic pollutants that settle on your skin and enter your lungs long before you even realise it. Whether you’re commuting daily, working near a main road, or simply stepping outside for errands, your body is constantly fighting toxins it never asked for. While escaping pollution completely isn’t an option, strengthening your natural defence system is. With simple, sustainable everyday rituals, you can actively detoxify your body, support lung function, rejuvenate your skin, and keep your immunity strong. Here are eight powerful, easy-to-follow daily detox habits that will help you breathe easier and glow from within. ALSO READ: 7 Winter Fruits You Should Eat For Stronger Lungs And Better Breathing This Season 1. Start Your Morning With Warm Lemon Water And Antioxidants (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Your day begins long before you step outside, and so should your detox. Drinking warm lemon water first thing in the morning helps flush out toxins accumulated overnight, supports digestion, and hydrates your cells before pollution starts dehydrating them again. The vitamin C in lemon acts as a natural antioxidant, helping neutralise free radicals caused by polluted air. or an added boost, pair your morning drink with antioxidant-rich foods like berries, amla, green tea, or a simple honey-ginger shot. These ingredients help strengthen the liver and prepare the immune system for the day’s environmental stress. Regular intake also improves skin clarity, reduces inflammation, and protects the lungs from oxidative damage. 2. Practise Deep Breathing Or Pranayam For Lung Detoxification (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Pollution reduces lung capacity, and most urban residents unconsciously develop shallow breathing patterns. This limits oxygen intake and prevents the lungs from clearing trapped pollutants. Deep breathing techniques like pranayam, act like a natural detox machine. Exercises like Anulom Vilom, Bhastrika, and simple diaphragmatic breathing help expand the lungs, increase oxygen flow, and improve circulation. They also promote the removal of carbon dioxide and airborne toxins that settle in the lungs throughout the day. Practising for even 10 minutes in the morning or evening improves respiratory strength, reduces stress-induced inflammation, and boosts immunity by oxygenating the blood. 3. Double Cleanse Your Skin Every Night To Remove Pollution Build-Up (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Polluted air leaves behind a sticky, harmful layer of dust, smoke residue, chemicals, and tiny particulate matter (PM2.5) that cling to your skin and accelerate ageing. This layer can clog pores, trigger inflammation, and weaken your skin barrier. A double-cleansing routine is a powerful and easy way to remove every trace of pollution. Start with an oil-based cleanser to melt sunscreen, makeup, and surface dirt. Follow with a gentle water-based cleanser to lift deep impurities trapped in pores. This method prevents blackheads, dullness, pigmentation, and stress-induced breakouts. Pair this with an antioxidant serum, like vitamin C, and a pollution-protection moisturiser or barrier cream. 4. Include Detoxifying Foods That Fight Pollution From Within (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Your diet is one of the strongest tools for environmental detoxification. Certain foods act like internal air purifiers, giving the immune system the fuel it needs. Include cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower, they contain sulforaphane, known for deep detoxification. Leafy greens boost chlorophyll levels, which naturally cleanse blood and combat heavy metal exposure. Turmeric, ginger, garlic, and cinnamon help reduce inflammation triggered by polluted air. Omega-3 rich foods such as walnuts, flaxseeds, and fatty fish help protect the lungs from airborne irritants. Berries, citrus fruits, and green tea neutralise oxidative stress. Staying consistent with these foods nourishes the body at a cellular level, enhances skin health, and strengthens your natural pollution-defense system. 5. Steam Inhalation To Loosen Dust, Mucus, And Pollutants (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Steam inhalation is one of the oldest and most effective lung detox rituals. Pollution causes microscopic dust and soot particles to get trapped in the respiratory tract, accumulating over time and reducing airflow. Steam helps loosen this build-up, moisturises dry nasal passages, and clears congestion caused by polluted air. Adding ingredients like eucalyptus, mint, ajwain, or camphor enhances the cleansing effect. For those who spend long hours outside, steam inhalation 2–3 times a week can reduce irritation, coughing, and inflammation. It also helps improve breathing quality and prevents pollutants from settling deeper into the lungs. 6. Stay Hydrated To Flush Out Toxins Efficiently (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Urban pollution dehydrates your skin, internal organs, and respiratory system. Hydration isn’t just about quenching thirst, it's about helping your body remove toxins efficiently. Water carries waste out of your system, supports kidney function, and keeps your skin barrier strong enough to resist pollution damage. For a detox boost, infuse your water with mint, cucumber, lemon, tulsi, or chia seeds. Herbal teas like chamomile, tulsi, nettle, and ginger-lemon can help soothe inflammation and support immunity. Consistent hydration keeps your blood clean, supports digestion, and prevents toxin buildup in organs. It also improves skin plumpness, reducing dullness caused by polluted air. 7. Build A Night-Time Repair Routine For Skin, Lungs, And Immune Function (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Night is when the body cleans, repairs, and restores itself. A proper evening detox routine helps reverse pollution-related damage accumulated throughout the day. For skin, use antioxidant serums, hydrating moisturisers, and barrier-strengthening creams. This allows your skin to rebuild collagen, fade dullness, and repair micro-inflammation. For lungs, gentle stretches or breathing exercises help open up the airways and improve oxygen flow before sleep. Herbal drinks like turmeric milk, tulsi tea, or warm honey water strengthen immunity and soothe the respiratory tract. Minimising screen-time before bed reduces oxidative stress and improves melatonin production, allowing deeper sleep. 8. Keep Indoor Air Clean With Purifiers, Plants, And Natural Ventilation (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) People often think pollution is only an outdoor problem, but indoor air can be just as contaminated. Dust, smoke, mould, cooking fumes, and everyday pollutants circulate constantly inside homes, especially in cities. Using an air purifier with HEPA filters reduces PM2.5, bacteria, and allergens. Adding indoor plants such as snake plant, areca palm, aloe vera, spider plant, and peace lily helps improve oxygen levels and regulate moisture. Natural ventilation, when outdoor pollution levels are low, prevents stale air from trapping toxins. Essential oil diffusers with eucalyptus or tea tree oil further help cleanse the air. Together, these habits create a cleaner breathing environment, reduce respiratory stress, and support your body’s natural detox functions.

Can Cold Weather Trigger Arthritis Flare-Ups? Myths And Facts

Can Cold Weather Trigger Arthritis Flare-Ups? Myths And Facts

(By Dr. Lokesh A V) Arthritis is the inflammation and stiffness of joints, which is often linked to changes in weather. A common belief is that cold weather worsens arthritis symptoms. But how much of this notion is true, and how much is simply a myth? ALSO READ: Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month 2025: Understanding Risks, Symptoms, Prevention, And More Cold Weather Directly Causes Arthritis Flare-Ups: Myth Many individuals with arthritis frequently claim that their pain intensifies during colder months; however, scientific evidence does not establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship. The link is undoubtedly more complex, influenced by several factors, including fluctuations in atmospheric pressure and behavioural adjustments to changing weather conditions. Cold Weather Affects Muscle Stiffness And Activity Levels: Fact Temperature declines frequently result in diminished physical activity, exacerbating stiffness and joint pain. The muscles surrounding the joints may become tense in response to cooler temperatures, thereby contributing to discomfort. Engaging in regular exercise, even during the winter months, can help alleviate these adverse effects. Moving To A Warmer Climate Eliminates Symptoms: Myth There is a common belief that moving to a warmer climate can alleviate arthritis. While it is true that a consistently warm environment may help ease some weather-related discomfort, it is important to recognize that it does not address the underlying condition itself. Arthritis is a chronic disease shaped by various factors, including genetics and immune system activity. Barometric Pressure May Influence Joint Pain: Fact Research indicates that shifts in barometric pressure, which are typical during cold weather, significantly affect joint pain. When atmospheric pressure drops, the tissues surrounding the joints expand slightly, leading to an increase in discomfort. This effect may be more pronounced in individuals with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis due to pre-existing joint inflammation. Managing Arthritis During Cold Weather: If cold weather makes your arthritis feel worse, here are some simple tips to help you cope: Keep Warm: Wear several layers of clothing, use heating pads, and make sure your home is comfortably warm. Stay Active: Gentle exercises like yoga, walking, or swimming can help keep your joints flexible and reduce stiffness. Take Care of Your Joints: Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications and topical creams can help ease your pain. Make sure you consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice. Although cold weather doesn’t seem to directly induce arthritis flare-ups, it can intensify symptoms through various environmental and behavioural factors. Recognizing these subtleties allows patients to manage their condition more effectively. It is thus important to emphasize that proper treatment and lifestyle modifications are vital for sustaining joint health, irrespective of the season.
