Hyderabad: The Department of Anthropology at the University of Hyderabad (UoH) has joined a global collaborative project to address mental health issues among farmers and farm workers in India caused by climate change and heat exposure.

IPL 2026: Ishan Kishan’s fifty powers SRH to 201/9 against RCB

Image
Bengaluru: Bengaluru, Mar 28 (PTI) Stand-in-captain Ishan Kishan smashed a blazing fifty as Sunrisers Hyderabad resisted Jacob Duffy’s excellent spell but only managed a slightly below-par 201 for nine against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL 2026 season-opener here on Saturday. Kishan (80, 38b, 8×4, 5×6) and his 97-run stand with Heinrich Klaasen (31) for the fourth wicket was the core of the SRH innings.

The left-hander, who has always be...
