'Way things have unfolded for me has been magical'

INDIA AND DELHI CAPITALS SPINNER
A year ago, Shree Charani was an ‘emerging left-arm spinner making her Women’s Premier League (WPL) debut with Delhi Capitals (DC), who picked her for ₹55 lakh. Today, she stands as a World Cup winner, with her WPL stocks having soared into crores.
After playing a pivotal role in India’s title-winning home ODI World Cup campaign — she took 14 wickets, the fourth highest in the tournament — the 21-year-old was among the headline points of Thursday's WPL auction. Charani was snapped up again by DC for a whopping ₹1.3 crore, more than four times her base price of ₹30 lakh. Currently leading Andhra Pradesh in the U-23 T20 Trophy in Nagpur, the youngster reflects on her World Cup high, WPL rise, and the road ahead. Excerpts:
I was busy preparing for the U-23 Trophy for Andhra Pradesh and realised that the WPL auction was around only two days ago. I was busy playing a game against Goa while the auction was on. It was only later that I got to know, and it made me really happy. I enjoyed a lot in the last season, and want to make the most of this opportunity. I am thrilled to be part of Delhi Capitals this time too. WPL is a great platform.

India played key role in shaping COP30 outcome
The establishment of a two-year work programme on the Paris Agreement’s Article 9.1, which mandates that developed countries provide resources to developing nations for climate action, was a significant outcome atthe 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Brazil's Belém. Union environment minister Bhupender Yadav, who led India’s delegation at COP30, said this re-anchors the global climate finance debate in terms of the actual legal obligations of developed nations under the agreement. In an interview with HT, Yadav said he believed that COP30 has restored faith in multilateralism with developing countries seeing a structured process capable of holding developed nations accountable for the first time in years.
