Delhi Pollution: The increasing air pollution in Delhi has started affecting the common people as well as the sports world. The air in the capital has reached such a bad level these days that organizing open sports events has become risky. In view of this serious situation, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken a big decision. The board has shifted the knockout matches of the Under-23 ODI tournament to be held in Delhi with immediate effect. Now these matches will be played not in Delhi but in Mumbai.

Now Mumbai will become the host instead of Delhi

According to the report of Indian Express, the knockout round starting next week was to be held in Delhi, but in view of the continuously deteriorating AQI, BCCI decided to change the venue. Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) sources have confirmed that the board has contacted them and asked them to start preparations to hold the match between November 25 and December 1.

The air quality index of Delhi-NCR has remained between 350 to 400 for the last one week, which falls in the ‘very poor’ and ‘severe’ category. In such a situation, considering the health of the players, holding an open-air match was risky. For this reason, the board chose Mumbai instead of Delhi, where at present both the weather and air quality are better.

Impact on schedule also, waiting for knockout timetable

The last round of the group stage is to be completed on November 21, after which the knockout schedule will be officially released. However, the board has already asked Mumbai to prepare, which makes it clear that the decision is final.

Match shifted from Delhi for the second time this season

This is not the first change due to Delhi’s continuously worsening pollution. BCCI has had to change the schedule for the second time in the current cricket season. Earlier, the opening match of India vs South Africa Test series was to be held in Delhi from 14th November, but in view of the possibility of increase in pollution in November, the board changed the venue to Kolkata. Earlier, permission was given to conduct the Test only against West Indies in Delhi from 10 to 14 October.

Players’ health priority

The continuously dangerous level of AQI in Delhi is not only affecting the normal life, but has also become a big threat to the fitness and performance of the players. For this reason the board has taken this decision as a precautionary measure.

T20 team captain Suryakumar Yadav is going through a difficult phase of his career these days. Even though India won the title in the Asia Cup 2025 under his captaincy, Surya’s bat remained silent in the entire tournament. Now the effect of his poor form has been seen in domestic cricket also. Suryakumar Yadav has not been included in the squad released by Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) for the upcoming Ranji Trophy season.

Surya out of the team

Ranji Trophy 2025-26 is going to start from 15th October. This time 42-time champion Mumbai will face Jammu and Kashmir for the first time. On Friday, October 10, MCA announced the 16-member squad, but the most surprising thing was that Suryakumar Yadav’s name was not included in this team.

According to sources, the main reason behind Suryakumar’s ouster could be his recent weak form. Apart from this, it is also believed that he has been given rest because after October 20, he will leave for Australia tour. However, many experts believe that Surya should have played this match so that he could have got some game time before the series.

Captaincy handed over to Shardul Thakur

This time there has been a big change in the captaincy of the Mumbai team. Ajinkya Rahane, who was leading the team last season, has stepped down from the captaincy this time. MCA has appointed Shardul Thakur as the new captain in his place. However, Rahane will remain a part of the team and will bat in the middle order.

Another big name in the team is Shivam Dubey, who has been in great form recently and has also been selected in the T20 series against Australia.

Mumbai squad (first match)

Shardul Thakur (captain), Ayush Mhatre, Akash Anand (wicketkeeper), Ajinkya Rahane, Siddhesh Lad, Shivam Dubey, Sarfaraz Khan, Shams Mulani, Tanush Kotian, Tushar Deshpande, Sylvester D’Souza, Hardik Tomore (wicketkeeper), Irfan Umair, Musheer Khan, Akhil Herwadkar and Royston Dr.

In today’s time, MCA (Master of Computer Application) has become a great option for the youth who have made a career in the field of technology and computer science. If you want to do MCA but are retreating due to fees, do not panic. Now many banks and financial institutions provide you with education loan, so that you can complete your studies without worrying about money.

If you are doing MCA from a recognized college or university, then you can easily get education loan. Most banks offer education loans up to Rs 10 lakh. Some private banks and NBFCs also give loans up to Rs 20-25 lakh, if the college is of private and top ranking. While MCA fees in government colleges are between 1.5 lakh to 3 lakh rupees, in private colleges this fee can go from 4 to 10 lakh rupees. In such a situation, education loan becomes a big support for students.

Interest rates and repayment process

Banks usually pay an interest rate of 8% to 12% on education loans. This rate can change the student’s college, course and loan amount. Most of the banks do not take EMI during studies, that is, as long as you are doing the course, EMI will not have to be given on the loan. This is called Mortorium period. In this time you can focus on studies. EMI has to be started within 6 months to completion studies.

How does EMI become easy?

Suppose you took a loan of Rs 3 lakh and to pay it in 5 years, then an EMI of about 6,000 to 7,000 rupees a month is made. If you take a loan of 7-8 lakhs, EMI can be between 12,000 and 15,000 rupees. If you want, you can increase the time of EMI to 7 years, which will reduce the monthly installment slightly.

Amca and tejas mk2 fighter jet: India is now working rapidly towards making its own fighter aircraft more powerful. Some countries of the world have already made fourth and fifth generation fighter jets. Among them, America’s F-35 has been the most discussed. Apart from this, Russia’s SU-57 and America’s F-21 are also very famous.

It was believed that India can also buy any of these jets, but now the news is coming that India is going to pay more attention to its indigenous fighter jets, not on these foreign aircraft.

Delivery of foreign jets is delayed

India had planned to buy 114 new fighter aircraft under the earlier Multirol Fighter Aircraft (MRFA) project. The scheme included foreign fighter jets like F-35, SU-57, F-21, Gripane, Rafael, Eurofighter Typhoon and F-15EX. But this scheme has been stuck for many years and is getting delayed a lot. For this reason, India has decided that it will now make the aircraft made in its country better instead of depending on foreign jets and will give them priority.

The Indian Air Force has 31 fighter squadron while the need is 42.5 squadron. Old MiG-21 aircraft are slowly removed. Therefore, India is now going to pay more attention to its indigenous fighter jets to keep the Air Force strong.

AMCA and Tejas rested on MK2

The Government of India and the Ministry of Defense have given priority to make weapons and fighter aircraft in the country under the ‘self -reliant India’ and ‘Make in India’. Under this, India will now pay more attention to its two indigenous fighter jet projects-first is the 5th generation fighter jet Amca and the second is the 4th generation Tejas MK-2. The government is planning to increase the number of these two fighter aircraft, so that the Indian Air Force can strengthen and reduce dependence on other countries.
