KKR के खिलाफ भी नहीं हुई एमएस धोनी की वापसी, जानें ‘थाला’ के रिटर्न पर ताजा अपडेट

KKR के खिलाफ भी नहीं हुई एमएस धोनी की वापसी, जानें ‘थाला’ के रिटर्न पर ताजा अपडेट

by | Apr 14, 2026 | Sports


एमएस धोनी ने कोलकाता नाइट राइडर्स के खिलाफ मैच में वापसी नहीं की है. CSK के फैंस को उम्मीद थी कि ‘थाला’ 14 अप्रैल को कोलकाता के खिलाफ मैच में वापसी करेंगे, लेकिन उनकी उम्मीदों को झटका लगा है. टॉस के समय कप्तान ऋतुराज गायकवाड़ ने साफ कहा कि केकेआर के खिलाफ मैच में उनकी प्लेइंग इलेवन में कोई बदलाव नहीं होगा.

यह चेन्नई सुपर किंग्स का IPL 2026 में पांचवां मैच है. चेन्नई अब तक सीजन में केवल एक जीत दर्ज कर सकी है और अगले मैचों में हार से उसकी प्लेऑफ की उम्मीदों को झटका लगता चला जाएगा. बताते चलें कि लीग स्टेज में एक टीम 14 ही मैच खेलती है. इसलिए KKR के खिलाफ मैच के बाद सीएसके के केवल 9 ही मैच बचे होंगे. आखिर धोनी कब तक मैदान में वापसी कर पाएंगे, क्या है उनके रिटर्न को लेकर ताजा अपडेट?

एमएस धोनी की फिटनेस पर ताजा अपडेट

चेन्नई सुपर किंग्स के लिए अच्छी खबर ये है कि एमएस धोनी निरंतर अभ्यास कर रहे हैं. केकेआर के खिलाफ मैच के लिए धोनी ने एमए चिदंबरम स्टेडियम में थोड़ा अभ्यास किया था. मगर सुपर किंग्स के फैंस के लिए बुरी खबर यह है कि धोनी को पूरी तरह फिट होने में ज्यादा समय लग सकता है. धोनी ने पूरे जोश के साथ बल्लेबाजी का अभ्यास शुरू नहीं किया है.

धोनी अगले 10 दिन में भी फिट नहीं हो पाते हैं, तो चेन्नई के तीन मैच मिस कर चुके होंगे. अगले 10 दिनों में उनके फिट होने की उम्मीद बहुत कम ही नजर आती है, क्योंकि उन्होंने विकेटकीपिंग का जरा भी अभ्यास नहीं किया है.

चेन्नई सुपर किंग्स के हेड कोच स्टीफन फ्लेमिंग कह चुके हैं कि धोनी टीम की रणनीतियों में अपना योगदान दे रहे हैं. मगर धोनी कब तक वापसी कर पाएंगे, इसकी तारीख पर कोई खुलासा नहीं हुआ है.

UPI clocks 228.5 billion transactions in 2025, driving India’s digital payments boom

UPI clocks 228.5 billion transactions in 2025, driving India’s digital payments boom

India’s digital payments ecosystem has witnessed a transformative year, with the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) processing a staggering 228.5 billion transactions in 2025, marking a 33% year-on-year increase, according to a report by Worldline. The total transaction value reached Rs 299.74 trillion, solidifying UPI’s position as the default payment method for everyday commerce in India, according to Worldline’s annual report, “India Digital Payments Report – Year 2025 in Review”.

UPI cements dominance in everyday payments

The report highlights India’s transition to a micro-transaction economy, where digital payments are replacing small-value cash purchases across categories, from neighbourhood retail to transport and everyday services.

The average ticket size (ATS) of UPI transactions continued to decline, indicating growing use for everyday purchases. Overall, UPI ATS fell 9% to Rs. 1,314, while merchant payments ATS dropped to Rs. 592, reflecting the digitisation of small-ticket purchases.

Rise of micro-transactions reshapes payment behaviour

UPI continues to dominate India’s payments landscape, with strong growth in both person-to-person (P2P) and person-to-merchant (P2M) transactions. P2M payments rose 34% to 143.82 billion, indicating UPI’s growing role in merchant payments.

Merchant acceptance infrastructure expanded significantly, with UPI QR codes increasing to 731.38 million, up 15% year-on-year, and PoS terminals growing to 11.48 million, also rising 15% from the previous year, according to the report.

Infrastructure expansion boosts adoption

While UPI dominates everyday payments, card usage continues to grow in high-value and online commerce. Credit card transactions increased 27% to 5.69 billion, while debit card volumes declined 23%, reflecting migration of small-value transactions to UPI, the report said. Online credit card payments reached Rs 14.53 trillion, reinforcing cards’ role in e-commerce and premium purchases.

Recurring payments gain traction across sectors

Recurring digital payments are gaining momentum, with transactions on Bharat BillPay reaching 3.05 billion in 2025, up 40% year-on-year, and Rs 14.84 trillion in value, representing a 93% increase.

The platform is seeing strong adoption across categories such as education fees, insurance payments, EMI repayments, and subscription services, signalling the rise of a “set-and-forget” digital payments model.

Ramesh Narasimhan, Chief Executive Officer, Worldline India, said, “India’s digital payments ecosystem is entering a new phase of maturity, where scale is being complemented by structure. As highlighted in our latest report, we are seeing distinct roles emerge across UPI, cards, and recurring payment platforms, supported by a rapidly expanding acceptance infrastructure.”

India’s gems and jewellery exports plunge 35% in March on weak demand

India’s gems and jewellery exports plunge 35% in March on weak demand

by | Apr 14, 2026 | Business


While exports of diamonds, gold jewellery, and lab-grown diamonds declined sharply, imports rose as the industry stocked up on raw materials in anticipation of a recovery.

Gems and jewellery exports from India plunged 35 per cent to $1.78 billion in March, as demand dipped due to the ongoing Iran war and disruptions in trade flows.

In contrast, imports increased by 17 per cent to $2.31 billion as the industry purchased additional raw materials, including gold and diamonds, in anticipation of a revival in demand, according to data from the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council.

Cut and polished diamond exports were down 27 per cent at $839 million ($1.16 billion) due to weak global demand and a sharp drop in prices. The sudden price drop has led consumers to reduce fresh purchases in anticipation of further declines.

With the fall in prices, the industry’s cut and polished diamond imports increased over four times to $211 million ($51 million) on inventory rebuilding and an anticipated recovery in demand across key markets.

LGD shipments too down

Gold jewellery exports were down 48 per cent to $656 million ($ 1.26 billion) as high gold prices reduced overseas orders amid inventory adjustments and global economic uncertainty.

Polished lab-grown diamond (LGD) exports were down 28 per cent to $96 million ($132 million) due to weaker global retail demand, increased price competition and inventory correction in key export markets, leading to reduced shipment volumes.

Colin Shah, MD, Kama Jewellery, said it was a mixed bag for gemstone and jewellery exports, with silver and platinum jewellery showing robust growth owing to changing consumer preferences, but traditional metals such as gold jewellery, diamonds, and synthetic diamonds coming under pressure.

The rise in imports suggests deliberate stockpiling of raw materials in anticipation of a future revival in demand, he said.

Subdued fiscal

Gem and jewellery exports in FY’26 were down 3 per cent at $27.72 billion. Conversely, imports increased 17 per cent to $22.83 billion.

While global demand remained weak, imports increased substantially due to an industry-wide build-up of gold and diamond inventories.

Cut and polished diamond exports dipped 9 per cent to $12.16 billion ($13.29 billion) due to sustained weak demand and ongoing price corrections in the diamond industry.

Rough diamond imports were down 3 per cent at $10.48 billion ($10.77 billion) due to subdued global cutting demand and inventory optimisation.

Despite high prices, gold jewellery exports declined marginally to $11.36 billion ($11.37 billion), reflecting steady underlying demand offset by price amid global market fluctuations.

Silver jewellery exports increased 52 per cent to $1.47 billion due to strong global demand for affordable jewellery and higher consumer preference for silver as a cost-effective alternative to gold.

IPL 2026 के बीच रूमर्ड गर्लफ्रेंड के साथ नजर आए यशस्वी जायसवाल, देखें वीडियो

IPL 2026 के बीच रूमर्ड गर्लफ्रेंड के साथ नजर आए यशस्वी जायसवाल, देखें वीडियो

by | Apr 14, 2026 | Sports


Yashasvi Jaiswal With Rumored Girlfriend: यशस्वी जायसवाल आईपीएल 2026 में राजस्थान रॉयल्स के लिए ताबड़तोड़ बल्लेबाजी करते हुए नजर आ रहे हैं. मौजूदा वक्त में जायसवाल सीजन में सबसे ज्यादा रन बनाने वाले बल्लेबाजों की लिस्ट में पांचवें पायदान पर मौजूद हैं. टूर्नामेंट में जायसवाल सिर्फ अपनी बैटिंग को लेकर नहीं बल्कि अपनी लव लाइफ को लेकर भी सुर्खियां बटोर रहे हैं. एक वीडियो में जायसवाल एयरपोर्ट पर अपनी रूमर्ड गर्लफ्रेंड मैडी हैमिल्टन (Maddie Hamilton) के साथ नजर आए. 

सोशल मीडिया पर एक वीडियो तेजी से वायरल हो रहा है, जिसमें एयरपोर्ट पर जायसवाल के साथ उनकी रूमर्ड गर्लफ्रेंड नजर आ रही हैं. इस वीडियो ने तेजी से फैंस का ध्यान खींचा. वीडियो में देखा जा सकता है कि जायसवाल रुककर एक फैन को टी-शर्ट पर ऑटोग्राफ भी देते हैं. 

हालांकि इस बात की पुष्टि नहीं हो सकी है कि यह वीडियो मौजूदा यानी आईपीएल के 19वें सीजन का है या फिर पुराना है. इसके अलावा इस बात की पुष्टि नहीं हो सकी है कि वीडियो किस एयरपोर्ट का है. 

IPL 2026 में राजस्थान को कर रही सपोर्ट 

सीजन का 21वां मुकाबला बीते सोमवार (13 अप्रैल) हैदराबाद के राजीव गांधी इंटरनेशनल में सनराइजर्स हैदराबाद और राजस्थान रॉयल्स के बीच खेला गया. इस मुकाबले में मैडी हैमिल्टन राजस्थान की जर्सी पहनकर स्टेडियम में नजर आई थीं, जिसकी उन्होंने इस्टाग्राम पर एक स्टोरी शेयर की थी.

कौन हैं मैडी हैमिल्टन?

कथित तौर पर मैडी हैमिल्टन यूके की रहने वाली हैं. वह एक स्टूडेंट हैं. उन्हें कई बार जायसवाल के साथ स्पॉट किया जा चुका है. 2024 में भारत और इंग्लैंड के बीच हैदराबाद में खेले गए टेस्ट मैच में भी मैडी हैमिल्टन स्पॉट हुई थीं. वह टीम इंडिया की जर्सी पहने हुए नजर आई थीं. हालांकि गौर करने वाली बात यह है कि अब तक जायसवाल या फिर मैडी की तरफ से रिश्ते पर किसी तरह की मोहर नहीं लगाई है. लेकिन दोनों का बार-बार साथ नजर आना कुछ इशारा जरूर कर रहा है.
