RCB in a noble gesture hands over two fully restored lakes to the locals

In a noble gesture, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Saturday handed over the fully restored Ittgalpura and Sadenahalli lakes to the local authorities, a long-term project the IPL outfit undertook under its Go Green Initiative. From here on, the local community will maintain the lakes for water security and combat the risk of water crisis in the surrounding regions. RCB's Lake Improvement Works Project, launched in October 2023, was designed to improve the drought resistance in highly water stressed areas in Bengaluru which lack access to natural source of water and are totally dependent on groundwater and surface water, said Rajesh Menon, Vice President and Head of RCB. For this project, RCB entered into an implementation partnership with the India Cares Foundation and Friends of Lakes. As part of the nearly 300-day project, over 50,000 tons of silt and sand were meticulously removed, with much of it repurposed by local farmers for plantation efforts. Furthering the project's .

When chips were down, we started to play for our self-respect: Kohli

Fighting for self-respect when everything seemed lost propelled Royal Challengers Bengaluru to six consecutive victories and earned them a place in the IPL 2024 Eliminator, said Virat Kohli after the side's winning streak was ended by Rajasthan Royals. RCB lost seven of their first eight games but a remarkable turnaround saw them win the next six matches, including a thrilling last league fixture against defending champions Chennai Super Kings, which earned them a playoff berth and an Eliminator showdown against Rajasthan. "We started expressing ourselves, started to play for our self-respect and then the confidence came back," said Kohli in a dressing-room chat with team-mates after the loss to RR in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. "The way we turned things around and qualified (for playoffs) was truly special, something that I will always, always cherish and remember, because it took a lot of character from each member of this team, something that we can be really proud of. And eventually

Dinesh Karthik: Man of comebacks calls time on IPL and international career

Dinesh Karthik's international career was a classic case of what could have been after the arrival of Mahendra Singh Dhoni but on Wednesday, when he said goodbye to the game at the end of his team's IPL campaign, it was from a stage he made his own over the past 17 years. The Eliminator between his Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals ended up being Karthik's swansong, bringing down curtains on a 20-year-old career marked by a series of comebacks across formats. Twenty six Tests, 94 ODIs and 60 T20s over two decades don't make for eye-popping numbers but the forever fidgety 38-year-old managed to stay relevant till the very end despite spending more time in the commentary box than on the field over the past couple of years. Ahead of the T20 World Cup squad announcement, Karthik forced himself into the selection debate for the wicket-keeper batter's role with head-turning performances for RCB but that one final comeback wasn't meant to be as selectors rightly went for ...
