Gujarat Titans Continue To Champion Sustainability At World's Largest Cricket Stadium During IPL 2025
In the 2024 season, the initiative resulted in a total of 1,04,777 kilograms of waste being efficiently processed through recycling, composting, upcycling, reuse, or donation across the Titans' home fixtures.
With a capacity exceeding 100,000 spectators, the Narendra Modi Stadium presents a unique opportunity and responsibility for scaling sustainable practices. Gujarat Titans are harnessing this platform to execute a comprehensive, end-to-end waste management program that ensures environmental impact is minimised without compromising the fan experience.
The current season's waste collection includes 83,761 kilograms of dry waste and 9,624 kilograms of wet waste, all of which are being processed using decentralised sorting, recycling, and composting systems. Excess food and materials are directed to donation channels, contributing to both environmental and social impact.
Gujarat Titans' partnership with NEPRA Resource Management Pvt. Ltd. (NEPRA), enables them to manage the entire waste lifecycle from on-ground collection and segregation to transportation and final processing. The collective efforts also cater to stadium-wide sensitization campaigns, and ensuring hygiene and waste practices among food stall operators. Visual communication via banners, posters, and bin signage enhances public awareness, supported by social media outreach amplifying the initiative's goals.
Colonel Arvinder Singh, Chief Operating Officer, Gujarat Titans emphasized the team's vision and said, "At Gujarat Titans, it is our endeavour to do our part to contribute towards a cleaner, greener future. With the help of our partners, we're able to turn waste into resources from each of our home games at the Narendra Modi Stadium. We're proud that our fans extend their consistent support to this initiative and continue to embrace and drive this mission forward."
This campaign has not only transformed how waste is managed at scale but has also empowered local waste workers, including many women, thus contributing to both environmental sustainability and social equity through a circular economy framework.
As the IPL 2025 progresses, the Gujarat Titans remain committed to making meaningful change leading by example on and off the field.

CSK batting is sorted now because Ruturaj Gaikwad will be coming back: MS Dhoni
Chennai, Aug 2 (PTI) Legendary MS Dhoni said on Saturday the return of Ruturaj Gaikwad will bolster Chennai Super Kings' batting in the next edition of the IPL, after the top-order batter pulled out mid-way through the previous season with an elbow injury. Dhoni took over the CSK captaincy from Gaikwad but the five-time champions finished 10th on the table with just four wins from 14 matches, struggling to cobble together consistent batting efforts. 'We are slightly worried about our batting order. But I think our batting order is quite sorted out now. Rutu (Gaikwad) will be coming back. He got injured. But he will be coming back. So, we are quite sorted now," said Dhoni during a private function here, indicating that the Super Kings will retain the services of Gaikwad. While he was delighted for the return of Gaikwad to the CSK fold, Dhoni said the team will try to further strengthen the unit through the mini-auction later this year. 'I won't say we (CSK) slacked off (in IPL 2025). But there were certain holes that we needed to plug in. A small auction is coming in December. Some loopholes are there, and we will try to plug those in," he added. Gaikwad's last competitive outing remains CSK's match against Punjab Kings at Mullanpur on April 8. However, he has been named in the West Zone squad for the Duleep Trophy, beginning later this month. Dhoni admitted that the Super Kings have been well below-par over the last two seasons, but said it was important for the team to identify those grey areas. 'Yes, the last couple of years have not been good for us. We have not been up to the mark. But what is important is for you to see the learnings. Yes, you had a bad season. But what went wrong? And that was the question for us last year also. 'We were like, okay, there are some shortcomings. But first we needed to exactly figure out what were the shortcomings and then look at solutions," he noted. Dhoni profusely thanked the loyal CSK fans for their wholehearted support during the strife time, and promised to give a better account of themselves in the coming season. 'I feel more often than not we have been able to figure out what exactly went wrong. In sports, you know you can have a very good time and at the same time there will be periods when you won't be performing well. In CSK, more often than not, we are on the higher side. 'So, we do talk about the processes. But at the same time we do want the result to come to our side. Last year it (result) wasn't there. But looking ahead, we will try to sort out most of the things and we will hopefully be at our best," he detailed. The 44-year-old then underlined the strong relationship he has fostered over the years with Chennai and the IPL team based in the city. 'It's a very long relationship that we have had and it started much before the start of IPL… 2005 was the time when I made my Test debut which happened to be in Chennai. So, it started from that point of time. And yes, CSK helped in a big way because all of a sudden I'm spending 45-50 days here." 'So, I feel the relationship over the years has grown. It helped me improve as a person. It helped me improve as a cricketer. So, CSK just happened. I think it's good for Chennai. So, today it's good for me also. Nowadays when we go and say CSK, it's not a brand only in India, but when we go to Australia, South Africa, or any of the cricket playing nations," he noted.

Karun Nair finishes England series with 205 runs: Is this the end of his Test career?
A special comeback story seemed to be on the cards when Karun Nair was named in India's squad for the Test tour of England. But after four Tests and just 205 runs to show for it, the 33-year-old finds himself at a crossroads yet again. Despite strong domestic form and a standout tour game, Nair's return to the Test arena has ended on a disappointing seemed to be going right for him in the lead-up. Nair had a stellar Ranji Trophy season with Vidarbha, scoring 863 runs in their title-winning campaign. His performances earned him a spot with the Delhi Capitals in the IPL, where he showed flashes of his class. More recently, he smashed a commanding 204 in a tour match against the England Lions in Canterbury, reigniting hopes that he was ready for the highest level once once the main series began, things fell apart. He struggled to find rhythm or confidence. In the Oval Test, he had a good opportunity to make it count after reaching his fifty but threw it away, failing to display the ruthlessness required at this AND OUT OF SYNC Nair's dismissal in the second innings of the Oval Test summed up his series. A short ball from Gus Atkinson struck him on the gloves on his very first delivery, rattling him instantly. From that moment, he looked uncomfortable. Teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal was seen visibly frustrated, even speaking to Nair about not paying attention to field lack of urgency between the wickets further added to the tension. Jaiswal, who was pushing towards a big score, appeared annoyed at Nair's reluctance to run hard. It was a telling sign that, despite his domestic experience, the pressure of the occasion may have overwhelmed FRUSTRATION MOUNTSOn social media, fans have not held back. Many have questioned Nair's place on the side, arguing that it is time to invest in a younger player who can grow into the role. The sentiment is clear — experience alone cannot be the metric for selection if it does not translate into is this the end of Karun Nair's red-ball journey? Or will team management, led by Gautam Gambhir, offer him another chance in this World Test Championship cycle? As the dust settles on this series, tough calls lie ahead.- EndsMust Watch
