رشبھ پنت کو باضابطہ طور پر 2025 کے انڈین پریمیئر لیگ (آئی پی ایل) کے ایڈیشن کے لیے لکھنو سپر جائنٹس کا کپتان مقرر کیا گیا ہے۔

پنت، جو اس سے پہلے دہلی کیپیٹلز کی کپتانی کر چکے ہیں، نے آئی پی ایل کے 18ویں سیزن سے قبل نیلامی میں جانے کا انتخاب کیا اور آئی پی ایل کی تاریخ کے سب سے مہنگے کھلاڑی بن گئے۔ سپر جائنٹس نے انہیں 27 کروڑ روپے کی ریکارڈ توڑ قیمت میں خریدا۔

پنت کی بولی کا آغاز سپر جائنٹس نے کیا، جنہوں نے نیلامی میں 2 کروڑ روپے کی بنیادی قیمت رکھی تھی۔ رائل چیلنجرز بنگلور اور پھر سن رائزرز حیدرآباد کے مقابلے میں، سپر جائنٹس نے 20.75 کروڑ روپے کی بولی دی، جسے دہلی کیپیٹلز نے اپنے آر ٹی ایم کارڈ کے ذریعے برابر کر دیا۔ تاہم، سپر جائنٹس نے نئے نیلامی قوانین کے تحت قیمت کو 27 کروڑ روپے تک بڑھا دیا اور 27 سالہ پنت کو اپنی ٹیم کا حصہ بنا لیا۔

سپر جائنٹس ایک بھارتی کپتان کی تلاش میں تھے، خاص طور پر کے ایل راہول کو ٹیم سے الگ کرنے کے بعد۔ پنت سپر جائنٹس کی نیلامی میں پہلی خریداری تھے، اور ٹیم نے ایک نیا اسکواڈ تیار کیا جس کی خاصیت بھارتی فاسٹ باؤلنگ ڈیپارٹمنٹ ہے۔

سپر جائنٹس پنت کی قیادت میں آئی پی ایل کی دوسری ٹیم ہوگی، اس سے پہلے وہ 2021 سے 2024 تک دہلی کیپیٹلز کی قیادت کر چکے ہیں۔ تاہم، 2023 کا پورا سیزن وہ ایک خطرناک کار حادثے سے صحتیابی کے باعث نہیں کھیل سکے۔

سپر جائنٹس نے نکولس پورن (21 کروڑ)، روی بشنوئی (11 کروڑ)، مئینک یادو (11 کروڑ)، محسن خان (4 کروڑ) اور آیوش بدونی (4 کروڑ) جیسے کھلاڑیوں کو برقرار رکھا، جبکہ انہوں نے ایڈن مارکرم، مچل مارش اور ڈیوڈ ملر جیسے بڑے ناموں کو اپنے غیر ملکی کھلاڑیوں میں شامل کیا۔ اس کے علاوہ، آویش خان (9.75 کروڑ) اور آکاش دیپ (8 کروڑ) کی شمولیت سے اپنے فاسٹ باؤلنگ ڈپارٹمنٹ کو مزید مضبوط بنایا۔

پنت اب ہیڈ کوچ جسٹن لینگر اور مینٹور ظہیر خان کے ساتھ مل کر سپر جائنٹس کے لیے ایک نئے سفر کا آغاز کریں گے۔

While UTVs come equipped with impressive capabilities, certain accessories can enhance safety, functionality, and overall riding experience. One of the most practical yet often overlooked accessories is a set of reliable UTV mirrors. These additions can significantly improve visibility, maneuverability, and confidence while navigating any trail or work environment. With seasonal events like Kemimoto Black Friday approaching, now is an excellent time to consider upgrading your UTV with high-quality mirrors. This article explores why UTV mirrors are essential and what to consider when choosing the right set for your needs.

Why UTV Mirrors Are Essential

Many UTVs don’t come with mirrors as a standard feature, yet they play a crucial role in ensuring safety and convenience. Here’s why investing in UTV mirrors should be a top priority:

  • Enhanced Visibility: When navigating trails, tight spaces, or work sites, being able to see behind and beside you is vital. Mirrors provide a wider field of vision, reducing blind spots and enhancing situational awareness.
  • Safety for Multiple Riders: If you often ride in a group or convoy, having rear and side-view mirrors can help you monitor fellow riders, ensuring safe distances and coordinated movements.
  • Ease of Maneuvering: Whether you’re backing out of a parking spot, making sharp turns, or maneuvering through narrow trails, mirrors allow you to gauge your surroundings and navigate with greater precision.

Types of UTV Mirrors to Consider

Choosing the right UTV mirrors depends on your specific needs, the type of terrain you typically ride on, and the activities you use your UTV for. Here are the main types of mirrors to consider:

1. Side Mirrors

Side mirrors are essential for providing a clear view of what’s beside and slightly behind your vehicle. They are typically mounted on the roll cage and can be adjusted to offer the best angle.

  • Regular Adjustments: Before setting out on a ride, adjust your mirrors to ensure you have an optimal view of your surroundings. This simple step can make a big difference in overall safety.
  • Clean Often: Dust, mud, and water can obscure your view, so keep your mirrors clean. A quick wipe with a damp cloth can help maintain clear visibility.
  • Check for Damage: Periodically inspect your mirrors for cracks or damage, especially after a rugged ride. Replace or repair any damaged mirrors to avoid impaired visibility.
  • Combine with Other Safety Gear: Mirrors should be part of a comprehensive safety setup that includes seat belts, helmets, and other protective gear for maximum safety.
