New Delhi [India], July 18 (ANI): Star India all-rounder <keyword id="19906064" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Hardik-Pandya" source="keywords">Hardik Pandya</keyword> confirmed his <keyword id="19904055" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="separation" source="keywords">separation</keyword> from wife <keyword id="21791284" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Natasa-Stankovic" source="keywords">Natasa Stankovic</keyword> on Thursday. For the last few months, there have been rumours that Hardik and Natasa have been separated but there has been no official confirmation from the player himself or his wife. Hardik and Natasa tied the knot in 2020. They have a 3-year-old son, Agastya, together. Taking to his official Instagram handle, Pandya said that he and Natasa have been "<keyword id="22467388" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mutually-parted-ways" source="keywords">mutually parted ways</keyword>" after being together for four years. The 30-year-old added that it was a "tough decision" for them after they grew as a family. He also said they tried their 'best' and gave their ball, and said the decision is in the "best interest" of both of them. "After 4 years of being together, Natasa and I have decided to mutually part ways. We tried our best together and gave it our all, and we believe this is in the best interest for the both of us. This was a tough decision for us to make, given the joy, mutual respect and companionship we enjoyed together and as we grew a family," Hardik wrote. Talking about his son, Hardik said that Agastya will be at the centre of their lives. The India all-rounder confirmed that he and his wife will co-parent for the well-being of their three-year-old child. Hardik also urged for 'support' and 'privacy' from people during this "difficult and sensitive time." "We are blessed with Agastya, who will continue to be at the centre of both our lives and we will co-parent to ensure that we give him everything that we can for his happiness. We sincerely request your support and understanding to give us the privacy during this difficult and sensitive time," he added. <div type="INSTAGRAMURL" thumbUrl="undefined" caption="Caption not available." user="undefined" cmsId="1721360565653"><url><![CDATA[https://www.instagram.com/p/C9kcSrhTp5J/]]></url><permalink><![CDATA[https://www.instagram.com/p/C9kcSrhTp5J/]]></permalink><payload><![CDATA[]]></payload></div> In the recently concluded T20 World Cup, Pandya played a crucial role in India's victory. He scored 144 runs in six innings at an average of 48.00 and a strike rate of 151.57, with a half-century and best score of 50*. He also took 11 wickets in eight games at an average of 17.36 and an economy rate of 7.64, with the best figures of 3/20. Facing injuries and controversies not so long ago, Hardik once again delivered when all the lights shined bright on him, playing a major role in his side's ICC T20 World Cup triumph. It was Hardik who secured the crucial wicket of Heinrich Klaasen in the 177-run chase during the final and also bowled the crucial final over in which he dismissed David Miller, which completely turned the game in favour of India. This tournament marked a redemption tale for Hardik, who was booed out of nearly every stadium across India during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 after taking over the captaincy of the Mumbai Indians (MI) from five-time IPL champion Rohit Sharma. The all-rounder, who was just making a comeback into the game after suffering an injury to his ankle in the 50-over World Cup last year, became a victim of online trolling and fan wars as he was accused of "betraying" the MI franchise, Rohit, and his former franchise, Gujarat Titans (GT), which he led to the IPL title in 2022.

The ICC T20 World Cup-winning Indian team touched down in Delhi on Thursday to a warm welcome from the fans awaiting the sight of their favourite heroes and sight of the silverware. The squad members, support staff, their families and media were stuck in Barbados, which was hit by Hurricane Beryl, at that stage a category four hurricane that passed through Barbados, with Grantley Adams International Airport in Bridgetown shut for three days. The flight was organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah and departed on July 2 before arriving in Delhi at around 6:00 AM on Thursday morning. Board officials and members of the media contingent from the tournament were also on the flight. India ended a 11-year ICC trophy drought with victory in the final, defeating South Africa by seven runs on Saturday. Virat Kohli's 76 helped India reach 176/7 while <keyword id="19906064" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="hardik-pandya" source="keywords">Hardik Pandya</keyword> (3/20) and Jasprit Bumrah (2/18) helped India restrict Proteas to 169/8 despite Heinrich Klaasen's 52 in just 27 balls. Bumrah, who got 15 scalps throughout the tournament at a stunning economy rate of 4.17, got the 'Player of the Tournament' honours. From the airport, <keyword id="20015089" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Team-India" source="keywords">Team India</keyword> reached the ITC Maurya hotel, where they stayed before their meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Notably, Virat, Rohit, Hardik, head coach Rahul Dravid and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Roger Binny were spotted at the hotel. A special cake featuring the T20 World Cup trophy was cut at the hotel to celebrate the win. Rohit, Virat, Dravid and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were among the stars who took part in the cake-cutting. The cake featured the trophy and some pictures of Indian stars. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> #WATCH | Virat Kohli cuts a cake at ITC Maurya in Delhi to celebrate the ICC T20 World Cup victory. pic.twitter.com/frjDSZNswB - (@ANI) July 4, 2024 </blockquote> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> #WATCH | Indian Captain Rohit Sharma cuts a cake at ITC Maurya in Delhi to celebrate the ICC T20 World Cup victory. pic.twitter.com/mTE6jCaTPR - ANI (@ANI) July 4, 2024 </blockquote> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> #WATCH | Indian Cricket team Coach Rahul Dravid cuts a cake at ITC Maurya in Delhi to celebrate the ICC T20 World Cup victory. pic.twitter.com/ZXf0PQjy1U - ANI (@ANI) July 4, 2024 </blockquote> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> #WATCH | Hardik Pandya cuts a cake at ITC Maurya in Delhi to celebrate the ICC T20 World Cup victory. pic.twitter.com/xrXwv5UO5W - ANI (@ANI) July 4, 2024 </blockquote> Much like other teams do after winning titles, the Rohit-led side will have an open-top bus ride in Mumbai at Marine Drive and the iconic Wankhede Stadium from 5:00 pm onwards to celebrate. After their meeting with PM Modi, Men in Blue will depart for Mumbai for the grand celebratory parade.

He also mentioned that it would be delightful to encounter him in the final match on Sunday. Put into bat, the CSK opener <keyword id="4238575" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ruturaj-gaikwad" source="Orion">Ruturaj Gaikwad</keyword> starred with the bat as he hit a flamboyant 60(44) to lay the platform. Towards the end, Ambati Rayudu, <keyword id="6359948" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ravindra-jadeja" source="Orion">Ravindra Jadeja</keyword> and Moeen Ali chipped in with cameos as CSK managed to post a competitive total of 172/7. In reply, GT couldn't manage to build up any significant partnerships as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Ravindra Jadeja (2/18) and Maheesh Theekshana (2/28) then spun a web around the GT batters with spin, pace and bounce as a collective bowling effort saw CSK bowl GT out for 157 and cruise into their 10th IPL final.Speaking after the loss Hardik said basic errors cost them the game, adding that the team doesn't need to dwell too deeply on the defeat and instead, our focus is on regrouping and preparing for Qualifier two. "I think we were quite spot-on (with the ball), but we made basic errors and that cost us the game. The kind of bowlers we had, I felt we conceded 15 extra runs. A lot of things we did right. We bowled a couple of soft balls in between. We were executing our plans and then in between we gave some runs. I don't think we need to look much into it. "We have to play two days later, we have to play one more game to make sure we reach the final. Just focus on the things that we've done really well this season," said Hardik at the post-match presentation. Hardik further congratulated Dhoni and said the CSK skipper has made it seem like he adds an additional 10 runs to the team's total through strategic use of his bowlers. "That's the beauty about him (Dhoni), with his mind and the way he uses the bowlers, he'll make sure that you'll feel like he's adding 10 runs. We kept losing wickets, he kept changing the bowlers, credit to him. Happy for him, would be nice to meet him on Sunday. "Regrets are not good in life. We expected dew would come; it didn't come. We didn't do right in both departments. We'll give a crack again after two days," said Hardik.

The new campaign encourages fans to Dream Big as that builds the foundation to achieve success along with talent, hard work and self-belief. The brand has launched the campaign with the return of the T20 showpiece where passions will be high and some cricketers will realise life-long dreams, not just theirs but also of their family, coaches and teammates. Conceptualized and executed by Tilt Brand Solutions and Rehab Films, Dream11’s #DreamBig campaign films are all the more distinct and memorable, as they have brought to life inspiring, real-life stories of Indian cricketers and Dream11 brand ambassadors Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Shikhar Dhawan. The campaign films are now live across multiple platforms including TV and digital. Speaking about the campaign, Vikrant Mudaliar, Chief Marketing Officer, Dream11, said, “Sport has always thrown up stories that drive fans to be inspired and achieve their own potential. We would like to encourage fans to strengthen their self belief and go after their Dreams, not just in Sport but in any vocation they pursue. #DreamBig celebrates this sentiment through the stories of the extraordinary people who had the tenacity and were relentless in the pursuit of fulfilling their dreams. This also resonates with us at Dream11, where dreaming big was a huge part of our journey -- going from being a start-up to becoming the world’s largest fantasy sports platform with over 110 million users.” As the Official Fantasy Sports Partner of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021, Dream11 will provide opportunities to millions of Indians to put their cricket knowledge and skills to test, and engage closely with the matches. The T20 showpiece features the world's top-16 teams including India, England, Australia, West Indies, South Africa, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Bangladesh among others. The campaign films highlights are below: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbO1i0HIyi8" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbO1i0HIyi8" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">Film 1: Rohit Sharma</a> The film leans on the origins of Rohit Sharma’s ‘45’ jersey, a lucky charm bestowed upon him by his mother. Equally, it brings to light the determination, belief and passion along with raw talent from a very young age, all accumulating to help him Dream Big and achieve unprecedented success. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n83C5BxHjc4" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n83C5BxHjc4" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">Film 2: Rishabh Pant</a> The classic sports hero worship story of idolising a star and eventually rubbing shoulders with him on the same pedestal. Dhoni was in Rishabh Pant’s heart and mind, as an idol and as an inspiration, well before anyone knew about Rishabh or his talent. This inspiration helped him Dream Big and do the unthinkable of playing alongside his childhood hero. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHL39hxwf48" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHL39hxwf48" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">Film 3: Hardik Pandya</a> A story of humble beginnings, Hardik Pandya knew his chances were bleak but he had a big heart. No amount of hardships could discourage him from his love for cricket. Along with some breathtaking cricketing abilities, his sheer drive enabled him to Dream Big and achieve stardom from a near impossible position. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNL3K1P-xiI" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNL3K1P-xiI" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">Film 4: Jasprit Bumrah</a> Jasprit Bumrah’s journey showcases the results of channeling raw talent and watching the results unfold. He was breaking many objects in his house and locality, long before breaking records for India. And all this because he had the belief, hunger and dare to Dream Big from his childhood and keeping at his Dream, everyday. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StAy79uOMOY" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StAy79uOMOY" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">Film 5: Shikhar Dhawan</a> Elite sport is not about equals and competing at a level playing field. Shikhar Dhawan understood this early in life and challenged himself to go toe-to-toe with the biggest rivals around, honing his skills and learning from every success and defeat. Over the years he has enjoyed the greatest highs in the sport, only because he never shied away from daunting challenges and dared to Dream Big throughout his formative years.

After just 75 runs in the first seven innings of the competition, he stepped up when it mattered the most. His 76 runs in the final came off 59 balls at a strike rate of 128.81 and included six fours and two sixes. The batter ended the T20 World Cup with 151 runs in eight innings at an average of 18.87 and a strike rate of 112.68 with one fifty. He also announced his retirement from international T20s.

Post-meeting, the victorious cricketers departed to the Delhi airport to take a flight to Mumbai where a grand victory parade will be held at the Marine Drive and Wankhede Stadium. Shiv Sena leader Pratap Sarnaik told that India captain <keyword id="19899523" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rohit-Sharma" source="keywords">Rohit Sharma</keyword>, Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dubey and Yashasvi Jaiswal will meet Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday at the Assembly.

Being a member of MCA, I invited the players and they have accepted my invitation," Sarnaik said. Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) Secretary Ajinkya Naik has said that there will be free entry for public for the victory parade celebrating India team's win. Earlier today, the T20 World Cup-winning Indian team touched down in the national capital to a warm welcome from fans who waited eagerly to catch a glimpse of their favourite heroes and the trophy. During their meeting with the Prime Minister, the 'Men in Blue' wore a special jersey sporting two stars over the BCCI's emblem. The stars represented the two T20 World Cup wins. The word 'CHAMPIONS' was written on the jersey in bold letters. The squad members, support staff, their families and media were stuck in Barbados, which was hit by Hurricane Beryl. The flight was organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah and departed on July 2 before arriving in Delhi at around 6 am on Thursday morning. Board officials and members of the media contingent were also on the flight. From the airport, Team India reached the ITC Maurya hotel, where they stayed before their meeting with PM Modi. A special cake featuring the T20 World Cup trophy was cut at the hotel to celebrate the win. Rohit, Virat, Dravid and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were among the stars who took part in the cake-cutting. The cake featured the trophy and some pictures of Indian stars. Much like other teams do after winning titles, the Rohit-led side will have an open-top bus ride in Mumbai at Marine Drive and the iconic Wankhede Stadium from 5 pm. India ended a 13-year ICC World Cup trophy drought with victory in the final, defeating South Africa by seven runs on Saturday.

"A great honour": Virat Kohli after T20 World Cup-winning India team meets PM Modi

It will also be his first appearance as just a player for any team since November 2005. Even at 42, Dhoni's glove-work remains impeccable and so does his assessment of the game like always. But CSK will hope that his tactical acumen also helps them improve a dismal away record this season, having suffered two defeats on the road. CSK would also hope their recent record against <keyword id="20950501" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="MI" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="MI" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="MI">MI</keyword> - four wins in last five matches including their seven-wicket win here last season - holds them in good stead. Two of IPL's most successful teams with five titles each, both sides are witnessing a tectonic shift of leadership change with Hardik Pandya taking over the mantle from Rohit Sharma at MI and Ruturaj Gaikwad succeeding Dhoni at CSK, but there is nothing that suggests their intense rivalry would expect any such shift. If anything, CSK's bowlers could be put to sword by the rampaging MI batters who have gone hammer and tongs at the flat pitches here, scoring in excess of 230 against Delhi Capitals and chasing down nearly 200 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru with more than four overs to spare. Pandya's MI have found their footing after a jittery start. Their batters have done well in the last two outings and Suryakumar Yadav's 17-ball fifty against RCB provides an ominous sign to CSK bowlers, who have shown mastery on slow, turning pitches at the Chepauk but remain untested on flat, batting-friendly surfaces. Ishan Kishan (161 runs) and Rohit's opening stand would thus be crucial in the scheme of things but CSK would also have a lot of assurance with their own batting. Skipper Gaikwad may not be a marauder with the bat but he can be the silent enforcer in the CSK line-up, which has the exuberance of Rachin Ravindra at the top, sturdiness of Daryl Mitchell in the middle and explosiveness of Shivam Dube (176 runs), Ravindra Jadeja and Dhoni in the death overs. CSK would also be aware that seeing off the dexterous Jasprit Bumrah (10 wickets) and going after the rest of the MI bowling would be the key, since the others have given away runs at alarming rate while struggling with their line and lengths on placid surfaces. Despite Bumrah's five-wicket haul, MI leaked runs at a high rate to allow RCB get closer to the 200-run mark here a few nights ago. A lot will be riding on Shardul Thakur and Tushar Deshpande for CSK, who both return to their home ground, but Mustafizur Rahman (9 wickets) and the wily Jadeja would be the ones to watch out for given their recent exploits. On their part, teams say "we want to get as many runs as possible" but by the look of it, scores around 220-230 while batting first could be the best way possible to ensure an upperhand at this venue.

Global <keyword id="19903563" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="celebrities" source="keywords">celebrities</keyword>, business tycoons, cricketers, filmstars and politicians of all hues attended the wedding at Ambani-family-owned Jio World Centre at Mumbai's BKC on Friday and a 'blessing ceremony' for friends and family members titled 'Shubh Ashirwad' on the following day. A wide range of guests - from employees to business associates - were invited for another reception, titled 'Mangal Utsav', on Sunday at the same venue. Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the venue on Saturday to bless the couple. Three different invitations were sent out for the wedding and the receptions with top-run guests being sent a large red box that contained an intricate chest incorporating a mini silver temple featuring gold idols of various Hindu deities, including Lord Ganesh, Radha-Krishna, and Goddess Durga. The invitation revealed different cards for each wedding function with one crafted from silver and resembling the main gate of an ancient temple. It included several keepsakes, such as an embroidered cloth with the initials 'AR' for Anant and Radhika, a blue shawl and a silver box filled with more gifts. The simplest invitation was in a laptop-sized box with silver statues of three Gods and invitation cards. The guests were asked to confirm their presence through an email or Google Form. Those confirming their presence received a message that read: "We have received your RSVP and we look forward to welcoming you... the QR codes will be shared 6 hours prior to the event." The QR codes messaged to the mobile phones and emailed were scanned to allow entry into the venue where different coloured paper wristbands were tied on the wrist of all the guests that gave them access to different zones depending on the colour. Several film stars and cricketers as well as business tycoons like Korean electronic giant Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong and his wife sported a pink wristband on their wedding day and a red one on Saturday. Employees, security and service staff wore different coloured wristbands. Ushers and a multi-layer security cover secured the sprawling venue, two sources aware of the matter said. Detailed fire and other emergency plans were worked out while an elaborate medical response preparedness resembled one reserved for heads of state. The medical response preparedness included doctors and paramedical staff with all emergency equipment at the venue. Ambulances had clearly demarcated routes to the nearest hospitals which had been primed in advance for dealing with any sort of medical emergency. "The Ambanis did not want to leave anything to chance," a source revealed. Another source said the time between the QR Code being sent and the actual event was cut this time as in the previous <keyword id="20727512" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ambani-wedding" source="keywords">Ambani wedding</keyword> some had "sold" the access to non-invited people. The dress code for all the events was Indian and international guests too wore designer traditional clothes such as embroidered sherwanis and bandhgalas. John Cena paired a powder-blue sherwani with white pants while Nick Jonas wore a pink sherwani and white pants. Samsung head too came dressed in a sherwani for the event. Most guests wore different clothes for the 'baraat' or wedding procession and the actual wedding on Friday. The Saturday event featured all the guests invited for the wedding as well as some additional important people. The guest list includes former British Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Boris Johnson, Saudi Aramco CEO Amin H. Nasser, reality TV star Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe, Nigerian rapper Rema, and footballer David Beckham. Business tycoon Gautam Adani came to the wedding holding hands of his little granddaughter with his son Karan and wife Preeti in tow. Kumar Mangalam Birla too came with his family. Almost the entire top rung Bollywood actors -- from Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan to Ajay Devgn, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Tiger Shroff and Varun Dhawan -- were present, most with their families, while superstars Rajinikanth, Ram Charan and Mahesh Babu led the entourage from down south. <keyword id="20590484" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-cricketers" source="keywords">Indian cricketers</keyword>, including icons Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav, too were present. The notable persons missing were T20 World Cup winning captain Rohit Sharma who was watching the Wimbledon semi-final in London and Virat Kohli. Politicians who attended the wedding included Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, his deputies Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav, his wife Dimple and Shiv Sena (UBT) head Uddhav Thackeray. NCP (SP) supremo Sharad Pawar, Congress leaders Kamal Nath and Sachin Pilot and Karnataka deputy chief minister D K Shivakumar were also among the attendees at the event. Shankaracharya of Dwarka Peeth Swami Sadananda Saraswati and Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath Swami Avimukteshwaranand as well as yoga guru Ramdev too attended the event. FIFA President Gianni Infantino, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and his deputy Pawan Kalyan, too, were in attendance. The groom, Anant, 29, oversees the oil-to-telecom conglomerate <keyword id="19896380" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Reliance-Industries" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Reliance Industries" meta.hostid="153" meta.entityid="Reliance Industries">Reliance Industries</keyword> Ltd's renewable and green energy expansion while the bride, Radhika Merchant, also 29, is the daughter of pharmaceutical tycoon Viren and Shaila Merchant and is the marketing director for his company, Encore Healthcare. The three-day wedding extravaganza is the final stop in a string of lavish parties the family has hosted since March. The couple got engaged in January 2023 and the Ambanis have hosted three lavish pre-wedding parties. First a three-day pre-wedding celebration was held in March in the group's refinery township of Jamnagar in Gujarat that hosted tech billionaires Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner in the 1,200-strong guest list, and had an exclusive performance by Rihanna. David Blaine did magic tricks and the festivities also involved a trip to Ambani's 'animal rescue centre' housing exotic animals. In May, the Ambanis set off on a four-day Mediterranean cruise starting in the Italian city of Palermo, featuring on-deck concerts from the Backstreet Boys, Pitbull, and David Guetta, and a performance by Katy Perry at a masquerade ball at the Chateau de la Croix des Gardes in France. DJ David Guetta played at a toga party at sea. The cruise ended in Italy's Portofino, where tenor Andrea Bocelli serenaded the party in the town square. Last week, Justin Bieber performed at the 'Sangeet' or musical night. The Ambanis have not revealed how much Anant's wedding is costing. But the gala scale of the celebration included a Rs 5-6 lakh per piece select invitation box and three Falcon-2000 jets being rented to ferry wedding guests to the event. Anant Ambani gifted friends Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar limited edition watch. It was rumoured Rihanna had been paid USD 7 million for her performance and Bieber USD 10 million (close to Rs 84 crore). An email sent to <keyword id="19936674" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="reliance" source="keywords">Reliance</keyword> remained unanswered. Mukesh and Nita in the past had lavish weddings for their other children too -- Beyonce performed at daughter Isha Ambani's 2018 nuptials that boasted guests like Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, and a year later Coldplay's Chris Martin performed at Aaksh's pre-wedding bash in St Moritz, Switzerland, and Maroon 5 at his wedding in Mumbai. The 2018 wedding of Isha was billed as the most expensive wedding in India to date with some estimates putting the cost up to USD 100 million. Mukesh Ambani, 67, is at present the world's 11th richest man with a net worth of USD 119 billion, according to Bloomberg Billionaire Index. He spent the last two decades in transforming Reliance Industries, founded by his father in 1966 as a stodgy oil and petrochemicals giant, into a global empire spanning telecoms, retail, financial services, cricket and luxury fashion. Anant Ambani is the youngest of his three children, all of whom are on the board of Reliance Industries.

The <keyword id="20412710" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="ICC-T20-World-Cup" source="keywords">ICC T20 world cup</keyword> has all of us hooked undoubtedly. From low-scoring thrillers to surprise upsets to high-scoring, high-voltage chases that have gone down to the wire, the ongoing world cup has had us on the edge of our seats! Post the high octane, much anticipated <keyword id="63471" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="India-vs-Australia" source="Orion">India vs Australia</keyword> clash that took place yesterday, where India silenced the kangaroos, India is set to meet England in the semi-final clash tomorrow. As for the resilient Afghans, who first defeated Australia and then Bangladesh, the next stop is against the Proteas, who have been unbeaten in this tournament so far! But before these epic clashes, take a good, long, hard look at your financial fitness. And if you are unable to win at managing your finances in life, here are some insights you can take from these matches! <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Never write off the underdog" comment="subhead" text="Never write off the underdog">Never write off the underdog </cmsannotation>Remember how USA, an associate nation and <keyword id="19919646" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cricket" source="keywords">cricket</keyword>ing minnow, managed to thrash Pakistan by first taking their match to a super over, and then beating them by 5 runs? USA stunned cricket fans all over the world, while promptly announcing itself on the global cricket scene! Shortly after, Afghanistan won over Australia, a certified cricketing giant, by 21 runs. As unexpected as it was, it tells us to never completely write off the underdog, in cricket and in markets. Consider this. The BSE smallcap index has jumped up by 61.79% over the past year. In contrast, the BSE largecap index has only risen by 31.78% in this time. While large caps like Australia certainly offer stability, it is in these smallcaps like Afghanistan where immense growth potential lies. Which is why there is immense merit in allocating some portion of your portfolio to <keyword id="425061" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="small-cap-stocks" source="Orion">small-cap stocks</keyword>. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Have an emergency fund" comment="subhead" text="Have an emergency fund">Have an <keyword id="20747810" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="emergency-fund" source="keywords">emergency fund</keyword></cmsannotation> Stunned by both Afghanistan and India, in the end, Australia had to hope that Bangladesh wins over Afghanistan in more than 12.1 overs, so that they could make it through to the Super 8. Similarly, earlier on, Pakistan had to rely on India thrashing USA by a big margin,and then on USA to lose their last league match, so that they could qualify ahead. The lesson? Have an emergency fund handy, so that you don’t have to rely on others to battle any emergencies. Relying simply on friends and family to tide you through financially difficult times can come back to bite you! Experts suggest that your emergency fund should have at least 3-6 months of your essential expenses. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Markets don't stay the same" comment="subhead" text="Markets don't stay the same">Markets don't stay the same </cmsannotation>Die-hard cricket fans would know of Indian skipper Rohit Sharma’s struggles against left arm pacers. Before India’s match with Australia, Rohit had been dismissed by 3 of them in this tournament-Shaheen Shah, Saurabh Netravalkar and Fazal Haq Farooqi. So naturally, fans were concerned about how Sharma would battle Mitchell Starc, Australia’s most dangerous left-arm spinner, who was coming off a splendid performance in IPL 2024 as well. But Rohit Sharma’s swashbuckling 92 off 41 runs turned the tables. Infact, Starc’s over against Sharma went for 29 runs, the most expensive Starc had ever bowled in T20Is. So, if you think you can time the market, you’re mistaken. Investing in stock markets is not a matter of timing them, but staying invested over-time. The best time to conquer your demons, and to start investing is right now! <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Diversify" comment="subhead" text="Diversify">Diversify </cmsannotation>India’s star batter Virat Kohli has been going through a lull, when it comes to runs. Dismissed for ducks against USA and Australia, his highest individual score is 37 off 28 balls against Bangladesh. And yet, India has continued its unbeaten streak throughout the world cup. That's because other players like Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya stepped up. The idea is to diversify, and not put all your eggs in one basket. Have more than one asset class in your portfolio apart from equity, like debt, gold and others, so that you are able to hedge your risks. If one asset dips, you have the cushion of others to safeguard you from losses. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="You don't need a lot to start" comment="subhead" text="You don't need a lot to start">You don't need a lot to start </cmsannotation>This world cup has largely been about Afghanistan’s dream run, and how they managed to qualify for semifinals for the first time ever. This, despite not having a proper home ground, or any cricketing facilities in their country. Afghani players are a prime example of how discipline and consistent effort is all one needs to win. So, stop waiting for when you’ll start earning more to start saving and investing. Begin with that Rs 500 SIP right away, and increase it as you go. Starting off and staying at it is more important than waiting for the right time!
