It's done. It's sealed. Shreyas Iyer is the next India T20I captain. The right-handed batter who recently led Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 edition will replace Suryakumar Yadav as the skipper in the shortest format, and the official announcement will be made on Saturday, when the selection committee convenes to pick the squad for the upcoming assignments against Ireland and England. Sources privy to developments confirmed to Hindustan Times Digital that Shreyas will indeed be the next T20I captain.

If you've faced similar issues while travelling on Mithila Express or other long-distance trains, share your experiences.
How many more years should passengers wait for basic amenities & service standards that match the fare being charged ?!
@IRCTCofficial@RailMinIndia
My experience on Train No. 13022 [Mithila Express] from Raxaul JN to Howrah JN on 18/05/26.
I booked a confirmed AC 2 Tier ticket (A2 Coach) & paid Rs. 1,500+ expecting basic standards of comfort & service.
What I got instead was unacceptable 👇🏻

Indian Railways & IRCTC need to either :
- Upgrade AC 2 & 3 Tier coaches on this route immediately!
OR
- Introduce newer trains with modern passenger amenities!
Paying Rs. 1,500+ for such a sub-standard experience is simply not justified!

Best wishes to everyone on World Environment Day. I would like to applaud all those passionate about environmental conservation. This is a day to reaffirm our commitment to protecting our environment and furthering growth that is sustainable. Numerous efforts by our Government over the last decade highlight our work in this direction. Some of India’s key successes include expanding green cover and a rise in the population of several animals. The people of India have shown how collective efforts, policies, belief in science and innovation can improve our environment.
We are going!

It’s not a straight shot to the far side of the Moon! 🌕
Over approximately 10 days, the Artemis II astronauts will orbit Earth twice before looping around the far side of the Moon in a figure eight and returning home.
It was inspiring to watch the Artemis II launch yesterday — @NASA’s first crewed mission around the moon since 1972. Our space program has always captured an essential part of what it means to reach beyond what we thought was possible, and I hope the four brave astronauts on this mission will inspire a new generation to follow in their footsteps.
Pleased to host First DPM Dennis Manturov of Russia today in New Delhi.
Had in-depth conversation on our bilateral cooperation focusing on trade, industry, energy, fertilizers, connectivity and mobility. As well as new opportunities in technology, innovation and critical minerals.
Exchanged views on regional and global developments including the conflict in West Asia.

As we catch a breath after a year in which @Mahindra_Auto achieved a record level of sales, it’s good to see that we feature on this ranking.
Bringing up the rear, we admit, but we are truly gratified to be part of the list.
Miles to go before we sleep, but we can’t help thinking back to more than three decades ago, when our obituary was being written by industry observers…
A big thank you to our customers who get the real credit for ‘transporting’ us to this point…
👉Census will be conducted in two phases.
The first stage (2026):
👉 House Listing (Data of home and facilities)
The second stage (2027):
👉 Population Count (Every person's information)
Name, Age, Gender, Education, Job
Home status, water, toilet, internet, vehicle etc.
Information about social and economic status
This time caste-based data will also be collected.
This is a big change after a long time.
👉 This will be India's first digital census and for the first time since 2011 (the delay was caused due to Covid) .
👉 Its data will play a key role in future plans, resource distribution and political delimitation.
Completed my self enumeration.
Today marks the beginning of the first phase of Census 2027, relating to house listing and housing operations. This census is the first time data collection is being done through digital means. It also empowers the people of India to self-enumerate their household details.
I appeal to the people of India to self-enumerate their household details themselves and participate in the Census process.
