Shubman Gill Embraces No Expectations Tag, Echoes MS Dhoni's 2007 Vibes Before England Test Series
As India prepares for the much-anticipated five-match Test series against England beginning June 20 at Headingley, new Test captain Shubman Gill is entering the series with a relaxed mindset, drawing interesting parallels to the early days of MS Dhoni's leadership era. 'No Expectations' – A Hidden Strength? Former India coach WV Raman recently shared his views on Gill's youthful Indian side, stating that the current team finds itself in a similar spot to that of Dhoni's 2007 T20 World Cup squad, no burden of expectation, no proven track record abroad, and everything to gain. 'There are no expectations. So, that is a big advantage for this side,' Raman explained. 'They have everything to gain and nothing to lose, exactly the atmosphere that benefited Dhoni's young team in 2007.' This sentiment sets the tone for a team in transition. With Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma absent, the squad led by Gill is filled with new faces and raw potential, mirroring the fearless spirit of Dhoni's young brigade 18 years ago. A Transitional Era Begins Shubman Gill's promotion to Test captain marks a significant shift in Indian cricket. At just 25, he's been handed the reins of the longest format, reflecting the trust the BCCI has placed in his temperament and cricketing intellect. With stars like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, and Dhruv Jurel in the mix, this series also becomes a stage for India's next-gen cricketers to prove themselves on foreign soil. Gill's Calm Confidence While the spotlight is firmly on Gill, the man himself remains unfazed. Speaking to the media ahead of the first Test, he said: 'There's no extra pressure. Every player is clear on their role. We're enjoying the process and looking forward to testing ourselves in these conditions.' Gill also takes over the No. 4 batting slot in the absence of Kohli, a role critical to India's stability in Tests. While he has previously opened the innings, this move underlines the team's tactical flexibility and faith in Gill's adaptability. England Tour: A Test Like No Other Former coach Ravi Shastri cautioned that leading a Test team in England is 'a tough job,' acknowledging that success in English conditions has historically been elusive for Indian sides. However, he added that Gill's composure, seen during his stint as captain of Gujarat Titans in the IPL, could be a key asset in navigating the English challenge.

Delhi government's dust pollution mitigation project to cost over Rs 2,000 crore
The Delhi government's comprehensive road dust pollution mitigation project is likely to cost Rs 2,388 crore over a period of 10 years, according to a proposal approved by the Cabinet. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta had last month headed a meeting of the Cabinet, which approved a 'Pollution Control and Emergency Measures' project under which 250 water sprinkler machines fitted with anti-smog guns will be hired at an estimated cost of Rs 1,158 crore. Besides, 70 mechanical road sweeping ( MRS ) machines fitted with 210 water sprinklers, water tankers and anti-smog guns will be hired at the cost Rs 1,230 crore for a period of seven years. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dhoni's Exclusive Home Interior Choice? HomeLane Get Quote Undo One of these MRS machines was launched by the chief minister along with Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa. The Public Works Department (PWD), which has been providing facilities for mechanically sweeping and sprinkling water on roads under its jurisdiction for the entire year except during the monsoon season, will execute this project, said officials. Live Events "This project is only for cleaning of dust in the carriageway, excluding cleaning of footpaths and greening of central verges. The machines under this project may be utilized in Delhi on a need basis for overall improvement of the city's ambient air quality," said the minutes of the meeting. The efficiency of mechanical sweeping has been reported as 55 per cent effective in reducing PM-10 concentration in the air and it increases to 90 per cent efficacy if assisted by vacuum-assisted sweeping, according to a study done by IIT Kanpur in 2016. The officials said that a similar plan was proposed last year by the Environment Department to hand over the work of dust suppression on main roads to the PWD. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi ( MCD ), however, objected to the proposal stating it will execute the project as sanitation is its obligatory function, they added. The officials said that the project was transferred to the MCD and added no funds were, however, spent. "Hence, it has been decided with the approval of the chief minister and the environment minister that the project has faced considerable delays and given the importance of the project, the department has been directed to revise the Cabinet note for getting the work executed by the PWD," said the approved proposal. The entire fleet will daily work in three shifts of eight hours each to execute the project efficiently, according to the plan, and the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) will provide 15,000 kiloliters of treated water per day free of cost to the PWD to operate water sprinklers and anti-smog guns. The PWD manages 1,400 kilometres of main roads across the city. These roads, which witness substantial traffic movement, will initially be covered under this project with a scope for expansion to other roads.
