"Skills being honed for national, also world stage": Jyotiraditya Scindia lauds Madhya Pradesh League
Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) [India], June 24 (ANI): Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Tuesday praised Madhya Pradesh League (MPL) for nurturing cricketing talent and elevating the state's presence on national and international platforms. Speaking ahead of the final match of the ongoing MPL season, Scindia said Gwalior is on course to 'touch new heights in the field of sports.' The final will be played between the Bhopal Leopards and the Chambal Ghariyals in Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium. Highlighting the success of the league, which was launched last year, the minister said, 'After the formation of this league, by finding and giving opportunities to the Navratnas of our state, their skills are being fully honed not only on the national stage but also on the world stage.' Scindia pointed to the growing influence of MPL players, stating that 11 players from the league were picked in the Indian Premier League (IPL) last year alone. He also celebrated the achievement of Rajat Patidar, who has played in MPL and led Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to their maiden IPL title in the 18th edition of the tournament. 'Last year itself, 11 players got a chance in the IPL edition, and the captain of the team that won the IPL this year was also from our Madhya Pradesh League,' he said. 'Rajat Patidar captained well and the RCB team got a chance to win the cup for the first time in the 18th edition, after 18 years,' Scindia remarked, extending his congratulations to the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA), Gwalior Division, and everyone involved. Scindia also emphasised gender equality in sports development within the state. 'I want to make it clear that in our state, the young men have as much talent as the young women,' he said. With the final match of the MPL scheduled for the evening, the minister expressed confidence that the match will be interesting. 'We are fully confident that the final match will be very exciting,' he concluded. (ANI)

HDFC credit card users alert: New fees, reward caps introduced from July 1
From July 1, 2025, HDFC Bank will roll out several important changes for its credit card holders. These include new fees on select types of high-value transactions and a revision in the reward point policy across categories like online gaming, wallet loading, and insurance. If you're an HDFC credit card user, here's what you need to watch out for. Fee on online gaming, wallet loading HDFC Bank will now levy a 1 per cent fee if your monthly spending on online skill-based gaming platforms, such as Dream11, Rummy Culture, MPL, or Junglee Games, exceeds ~10,000. No reward points will be given on these transactions, and the maximum fee will be capped at ~4,999 per month. Similarly, loading money into digital wallets (like PayTM, Mobikwik, Freecharge, or Ola Money) above ~10,000 in a month using your HDFC credit card will attract a 1 per cent fee, again capped at Rs 4,999 per month. Utility bill payments to attract charges after a threshold If you pay utility bills using your HDFC credit card and your total monthly card spend crosses Rs 50,000 (for personal cards) or Rs 75,000 (for business cards), a 1 per cent fee will apply to all your utility transactions. This charge too will be capped at Rs 4,999. Importantly, insurance premium payments will not fall under this fee structure. Rent, fuel, and education payments: Cap introduced HDFC has also revised its upper limit on fees for rent, fuel, and education transactions: Rent: 1 per cent fee continues, capped at Rs 4,999. Fuel: The 1 per cent fee kicks in only if the transaction is over Rs 15,000 or Rs 30,000, depending on the card type. Education: The fee is only applicable when paid via third-party apps, not through direct school/college websites or their PoS systems. Reward point changes for insurance transactions Reward points will still be earned on insurance-related payments, but with limits: Diners Black (and Metal), Biz Black Metal: Up to Rs 5,000/month All other cards: Capped at Rs 2,000/month Cards like Marriott Bonvoy will continue with uncapped rewards on insurance spends, while some entry-level cards (Millennia, Swiggy, BIZ First, etc.) will follow their current reward rules without any change. Why this matters These changes could significantly impact heavy users of credit cards for utility payments, wallet recharges, and online gaming. Cardholders should reassess their spending behaviour and reward point expectations to avoid surprises on their next statement. If you're relying on credit cards for large transactions or to earn points, it's time to read the fine print.

Madhya Pradesh League: Jabalpur Royal Lions hand Rewa Jaguars their first defeat with spirited 21-run win
Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) [India], June 21 (ANI): Jabalpur Royal Lions produced a commanding all-round performance to defeat Rewa Jaguars by 21 runs in Match 16 of the Madhya Pradesh League (MPL) 2025 at the Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium on Friday, ending Rewa's unbeaten streak in the tournament, according to an official MPL statement. Asked to bat first, Jabalpur got off to a shaky start, losing both openers early to a fiery spell from Saransh Surana. The Jaguars pacer struck twice in the powerplay to rattle the Lions' top order, the statement from MPL said. However, Siddharth Patidar held his ground and led the rebuilding phase with a resilient 51 off 36 balls, mixing caution with well-timed aggression. Just when he looked set to anchor deeper, Saransh struck again, completing a stellar four-wicket haul and putting Jabalpur under pressure. With the scoreboard reading a modest 117/6 in 16.1 overs, the Lions looked set for a total in the 160-170 range. But then came a stunning late flourish from Ritik Tada and Sanjog Singh. The duo unleashed a brutal assault in the final overs, stitching together an unbeaten 68-run partnership. Ritik blazed his way to 45 off 22 balls* at a strike rate of 204.5, while Sanjog hammered a quick 36 off 14 deliveries* at a strike rate of 257.1, propelling Jabalpur Royal Lions to a formidable 185/6. Chasing 186, Rewa Jaguars' opener Prithviraj Singh Tomar provided a steady start with a composed 52 off 41 balls, but the middle order crumbled under pressure. Despite a late fightback from Mukul Raghav, who remained unbeaten on 42 off 28 balls, Rewa fell short and finished at 164/6, conceding their first defeat of the season. The standout performer for Jabalpur with the ball was Pankaj Patel, who set the tone with figures of 4/36, earning him the Player of the Match award. Speaking after the match, Ritik Tada credited the finish to team awareness and pitch reading: "The plan was simple. We saw the wicket had moisture, and it was soft, so we initially thought 170 would be a good total. But after early wickets, we revised the aim to around 160. In the end, the finish went well and we managed to set a strong total." When asked about his approach at the crease, Ritik added: "The idea was to take some time and get set, because the wicket wasn't easy and the ball wasn't coming on. After 5-6 balls, I got a feel of the wicket and the bowler's strategy. I kept that in mind and capitalised on their mistakes." Ritik also reflected on his current focus during the tournament: "Right now, I'm focusing more on game awareness, understanding what the situation demands and responding accordingly." The victory marked a strong resurgence for Jabalpur Royal Lions, who had remained winless in their first three games of the season. With this result, they have now secured back-to-back wins, gaining crucial momentum as the league phase progresses. Please find below the schedule for Saturday, June 21 Match 18, Bundelkhand Bulls vs Jabalpur Royal Lions, 3:00 PM ISTMatch 19, Rewa Jaguars vs Indore Pink Panthers, 7:30 PM IST. (ANI)

MPL: Bhopal Leopards & Jabalpur Royal Lions match abandoned due to rain
Gwalior: The second match of the Madhya Pradesh Premier League (MPL) Scindia Cup between Bhopal Leopards and Jabalpur Royal Lions at Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium remained unfinished due to persistent rain. Both teams received one point each as a result of the weather-affected match. The game could not advance beyond the first innings. Jabalpur's decision to field first after winning the toss appeared advantageous. Jabalpur Royal Lions displayed tactical awareness by choosing to bowl first. Their decision proved fruitful as Bhopal Leopards struggled early in their innings. The powerplay overs were particularly challenging for Bhopal, who lost three crucial wickets whilst scoring 55 runs. The match highlighted some notable performances and setbacks. The much-anticipated return of IPL player Aniket Verma was brief, managing only a solitary six. This was a stark contrast to his previous MPL season's dominant display as the leading run-scorer and six-hitter. Bhopal's batting lineup faced further pressure when half their side was dismissed with just 90 runs on the board. However, Madhav Tiwari, recently signed by Delhi Capitals, demonstrated his worth with a composed knock. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Normanton: People Born 1945-1975 Could Be Eligible For This British Seniors Read More Undo His unbeaten 31 runs from 20 balls helped stabilise the innings. The weather intervention came when Bhopal reached 130 for 6 in 16 overs. The officials waited patiently for 90 minutes, hoping for conditions to improve. However, the persistent rainfall left no choice but to abandon the match. Following tournament regulations, both teams were awarded one point each. This outcome, while not ideal for either side, maintains their position in the league standings. The match served as a reminder of cricket's dependence on weather conditions, despite the best preparations and talents on display. The abandonment also means both teams will need to make the most of their remaining fixtures to strengthen their position in the tournament.
