Why is David Miller not playing for Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026 clash in Jaipur?

Jaipur: Delhi Capitals have made multiple changes to their playing XI in their IPL 2026 clash against Rajasthan Royals.

Ian Bishop analyses possible reasons behind Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav’s struggles in IPL 2026

5 fashion hacks all of us can steal from King Charles

Looking effortlessly sharp is, ironically, a lot of hard work. It's the micro-details that push an outfit from 'fine' to 'fantastic.' Charles has this down to a science.Take his lapel, for example. He often pins a fresh boutonniรจre (a flower) to it, which instantly softens up a stiff formal suit. Then there's the gold signet ring on his left pinky, stamped with his official heraldic crest, which he has worn non-stop since the 1970s. Oh, and word on the street is that his valets actually steam-iron his shoelaces. Seriously! While you probably don't need to go quite that far, the…
