IPL 2026: Punjab Can Use Harpreet Brar Against RCB, Says Sanjay Bangar
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India cricketer Sanjay Bangar believes Punjab Kings (PBKS) should consider bringing back spinner Harpreet Brar for their upcoming clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) after the sides narrow defeat to Mumbai Indians (MI) in the IPL 2026 clash at Dharamshala. Punjab Kings suffered a heartbreaking loss despite posting 200/8, as Mumbai Indians chased down the target with one ball to spare. Tilak Varma starred with an unbeaten 75, while Ryan Rickelton provided a quick start with 48 off 23 balls. Looking ahead to Punjabs next match against table-toppers RCB, Bangar said the afternoon conditions could help the team use two spinners effectively and bring Harpreet Brar back into the playing XI. I think Punjab Kings will have the opportunity to use Harpreet Brar because he has always been a quality performer, especially against RCB, Bangar told Jio Hotstar. The former India batting coach, who has also worked with RCB in the IPL, added that Brar has historically troubled Bengalurus batting line-up. Having been part of RCB myself, I know he has troubled several of their batters over the years, he added. Bangar felt Punjab have already tried most of their pace-bowling combinations this season and should now look towards spin as a better option to control opposition batters. It helps that the next game against RCB is a day game because Punjab can use two spinners. So far, they have explored almost all their pace-bowling options, so perhaps it is time to go back to spin and hope that becomes an effective way of containing teams, he said. Bangar also reflected on the Mumbai Indians successful chase and pointed out that Punjab still had control of the game despite slow innings from Rohit Sharma and Sherfane Rutherford. Shreyas Iyer used only five bowlers in this game, and there was always going to be a point when the batters targeted Bartlett. Chahal and Arshdeep had bowled extremely well until then. In a way, Punjab Kings took away their own advantage, Bangar explained. He also praised Tilak Varma for carrying Mumbais chase under pressure.

'This Was A Game Punjab Kings Should Have Won': Gavaskar
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar feels that the Punjab Kings (PBKS) should have won the game against the Mumbai Indians (MI), and they have let a winning position slip away as they lost the match after scoring 200 runs in the first innings. Punjab Kings had recovered brilliantly in the final overs after a middle-overs collapse, with Azmatullah Omarzai producing a late assault to push the total to 200. Omarzai smashed 38 off just 17 balls, while opener Prabhsimran Singh earlier scored 57 off 32 deliveries. However, the Mumbai Indians chased down the target with one ball to spare, thanks to an unbeaten 75 from Tilak Varma and an aggressive start from Ryan Rickelton. Reflecting on the result, Gavaskar said PBKS were in a strong position after their late batting surge. This was a game Punjab Kings should have won after scoring 53 runs in the last three overs to get past 200. At that stage, they had the momentum and looked in control, Gavaskar told Jio Hotstar. Shreyas Iyers failure also hurt because when he scores, Punjab usually gets another 20-30 runs, which could have made the difference, Gavaskar explained. The cricket legend also questioned some of Punjabs bowling decisions, especially the use of Xavier Bartlett, who went wicketless and proved expensive. The Australian pacer gave away 53 runs in 3.5 overs. Bartlett has been expensive, and I was surprised he wasnt given the new ball on a helpful pitch, he said. Gavaskar reserved special praise for Omarzai, who contributed with both bat and ball during the match, and suggested Punjab should continue backing the Afghan all-rounder in the remaining games. Bartlett has been expensive, and I was surprised he wasnt given the new ball on a helpful pitch, he said.

'We Were Like A Group Of Friends': Kohli Reflects On Indias Golden Test Era As Captain
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli has reflected on his memorable stint as Indias Test captain, calling it a 'golden era' where players grew together as friends and collectively took responsibility for building a successful team. Speaking in a Royal Challengers Bengaluru podcast, Kohli said one of the biggest strengths of that Indian Test side was the bond shared by the core group of players. He explained that there was very little age difference between senior members of the team, which helped create a comfortable and united dressing-room atmosphere. The most important thing was our average age. There was no hesitation between seniors and juniors. We were like a group of friends, Kohli said. Kohli mentioned that players such as Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja were all in their twenties when they started playing together regularly for India. According to him, that closeness allowed everyone to speak freely and contribute towards the teams growth. The former India captain also said leadership responsibilities were shared among the entire squad and not restricted to only the captain or support staff. It was not like a few people would take care of everything. Everyone felt they had a role in building the team for the next six to eight years, he added. Kohli explained that this sense of responsibility pushed players to constantly improve themselves and maintain high standards, which eventually helped India become one of the strongest Test sides in the world. The batting stalwart took over as Indias Test captain during the 2014 tour of Australia after MS Dhoni stepped down from the format. He went on to become Indias most successful Test captain with 40 wins in 68 matches. Kohli explained that this sense of responsibility pushed players to constantly improve themselves and maintain high standards, which eventually helped India become one of the strongest Test sides in the world. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Kohlis tenure also saw the rise of a strong fast-bowling attack led by Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma, which played a huge role in Indias success in overseas conditions.

Kuldip, Gleeson Named Injury Replacements For Khaleel And Thushara
Chennai Super Kings: Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) signed Kuldip Yadav to replace Khaleel Ahmed, while defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru named Richard Gleeson as a replacement for Nuwan Thushara. Kuldip Yadav will join CSK for Rs 30 lakh, whereas Richard Gleeson will join RCB for a fee of Rs 1.6 crore, the IPL said in a statement on Friday. Kuldip made his IPL debut for Rajasthan Royals in 2021 and has featured in three games for the franchise.

'Thankful To Experience This Before I Stopped Playing': Kohli On RCB Winning IPL
Indian Premier League: India's charismatic batter Virat Kohli believes that finally winning the Indian Premier League (IPL) title with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) before the end of his career was one of the most emotional and fulfilling moments of his cricketing journey. Reflecting on the franchise's historic triumph in the RCB podcast, Kohli admitted the overwhelming emotions were impossible to describe after the franchise ended its 18-year-long wait to hold the iconic trophy. All those emotions, all those feelings came out in a form of just being on my knees and just holding my hands and saying, thank you. That I could experience this before I stopped playing, Kohli said. Former RCB captain was visibly emotional after the team won their maiden title by beating Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 3. Kohli, who is representing the franchise since 2008 and also captained the side, said that the journey of near misses and heartbreaks has made the victory more meaningful. I still say it's very difficult to explain to people in words how I felt in the last four balls of the last over. When you see from the outside what has happened to the franchise, how RCB has been looked at for so many years... as a big team, big franchise that's never won - the almost champions, the ones that have come close but never really won the trophy. And for that pressure to build over so many years, like season after season. There's one thing to observe it, and there's one thing to live it. And I have lived through all of those seasons, he added. Kohli, however, acknowledged that he would not have lived with regret if RCB failed to clinch the trophy, but there would always be a thought of missing the experience of a lifetime. Although I wouldn't have carried on regretting it. But there would have been a part of me that would have wondered, you know, what it would have felt like to experience that moment, he said. The 37-year-old also believes that the prolonged wait to lift the trophy with the franchise he has given everything amplified the joy of being the champions. Although I wouldn't have carried on regretting it. But there would have been a part of me that would have wondered, you know, what it would have felt like to experience that moment, he said.

Indian Premier League: Virat Kohli believes Bhuvneshwar Kumars remarkable Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season is proof that consistency, belief, and technical mastery can still dominate modern T20 cricket. According to Kohli, Bhuvneshwars success is not built on magic deliveries or extravagant swing, but on repeatedly executing one difficult length and daring batters to challenge him. What is Bhuvi doing? He is not bowling banana inswingers, banana outswingers. He is bowling at a length that tells the guys that I am good enough to hit the length every time. It is the most difficult length to hit, and I am just gonna keep hitting those lengths. Are you good enough to take me on or not? Kohli said on RCBs podcast. At 36, Bhuvneshwar has turned back the clock in spectacular fashion. With 22 wickets already this season, the RCB pacer currently leads the wicket-taking charts and has become one of the biggest reasons behind Bengalurus rise to the top of the IPL 2026 points table. Kohli explained that Bhuvneshwars performances are a result of repetition, execution, and unwavering consistency rather than flashy variations. According to the former RCB captain, the veteran pacer has mastered the art of bowling difficult Test-match lengths in T20 cricket, something that continues to trouble even the most aggressive batters. Its simple stuff. Its repetition, its execution, uncomplicated consistency backed with tremendous belief. Thats all he is doing. Look at the results. He has six three-wicket hauls in 11 matches. Thats crazy, Kohli added. The batting great also stressed the importance of a technical foundation in helping players survive difficult phases in their careers. Kohli said players with strong basics always find ways to adapt and bounce back, and Bhuvneshwar is a perfect example of that. Its simple stuff.

Our Destiny Is Still In Our Hands: Brad Haddin Stays Positive On PBKS Playoff Chances
After Punjab Kings: After Punjab Kings (PBKS) suffered their fifth consecutive loss after going down to Mumbai Indians, assistant coach Brad Haddin showed full faith in the squad and emphasised that the teams path to the playoffs remains within their control. After a strong start, and despite losing wickets in quick succession in the middle, the Kings staged a remarkable recovery to reach a total of 200/8. The lower order took the attack to the opposition, ensuring the side was right in the contest until the very last over. While Mumbai Indians managed to chase the target with just one ball to spare, the depth shown by the Kings' batting unit remains a key positive heading into the final two league games. Despite a narrow result that didn't go their waymarking the side's fifth consecutive lossthe team remains in a competitive position, currently sitting in fourth place with 13 points as the race for the playoffs intensifies. The one thing to come out of it is weve got two games of cricket left and our destiny is still in our hands. Now theres no tomorrow; theres no talking about anything else. We have to win our remaining games now, and thats as simple as it is. Well assess this quickly and get our heads around playing a day game here in a couple of days' time, Haddin said in a post-match presser. He also highlighted the teams ability to post a high total and credited the opposition for a standout individual performance. I thought we did really well to get to the total we did. Mumbai bowled well early, but we had some really good hitting in the back end of the game to get us to what we thought was a really good total. We felt like we were in control for a long time, but it took a pretty special knock from Tilak (Varma) to get Mumbai home. That was a special innings and you have to give credit to that. Haddin spoke candidly about the atmosphere in the camp and the pressure that comes with the business end of the tournament. The whole tournament is pressure the whole time, and especially at this stage, this is what IPL cricket is about. Youve got to be able to handle the big moments and handle the pressure.

IPL 2026: 'A Tough Pill To Swallow,' Says Shreyas Iyer After Punjab Kings Defeat To Mumbai Indians
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Shreyas Iyer described Punjab Kings narrow defeat against the Mumbai Indians as a tough pill to swallow after his side failed to defend a 200-run total in a thrilling Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 contest at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala on Thursday. Punjab Kings looked in control after posting 200/8, with Prabhsimran Singh scoring a rapid 57 and Azmatullah Omarzai providing a crucial late push with 38 off just 17 balls. However, the Mumbai Indians chased down the target with one ball remaining, powered by Tilak Varmas unbeaten 75 and an explosive start from Ryan Rickelton. The defeat left Punjab disappointed, especially after recovering strongly in the final overs to cross the 200-run mark following a middle-order collapse. Well, absolutely a tough pill to swallow, but I don't want to pinpoint any situation over here because it was a great game of cricket. Well fought game, Shreyas said after the match. The Punjab skipper reserved special praise for Tilak Varma, whose calm and aggressive approach under pressure turned the chase in Mumbais favour. He played amazingly, he was selecting his shots pretty well, and he manoeuvred the field nicely, so credit to him, he added. Punjab were struggling at one stage and appeared set for a total around 170-180 before Omarzais late counterattack changed the momentum completely. The Afghan all-rounder smashed four sixes in his quick cameo to lift Punjab to 200. Certainly, at a point, we were looking at around 170 to 180, and from there on, he simply changed the momentum towards us. Getting those scoops of sixes, and from 16th or 17th over, from there on, we gained the momentum, and getting to 200 was a commendable performance for him, Shreyas said. Despite the loss, the Punjab captain remained optimistic about the teams chances in the remaining league matches, including the upcoming afternoon clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Certainly, at a point, we were looking at around 170 to 180, and from there on, he simply changed the momentum towards us.

Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International: Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter Tim David underlined the physical and mental demands of Virat Kohlis unbeaten 105, taking the defending champions to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 points table, saying that people dont appreciate how fit one has to be to finish off a game. At the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium, Kohli returned to form after bagging consecutive ducks as he steered his team home in a chase of 193 in Raipur with an excellent 60-ball knock, also his ninth IPL century, laced with 11 fours and three sixes. Kohli became the most capped player in tournament history with his 279th appearance, and crossed 14,000 runs in T20 cricket - the fastest batter to reach the milestone in just 409 innings. Its just a joy for all of us to watch. The way he chased it down when we only needed the two points. That was a great performance. It was hot out there, and he was running around everywhere and still batting through the innings. People dont appreciate how fit you have to be to finish the game off, said David in a release issued by the franchise. Kohli also crossed 400 runs in an IPL season for the 12th time and went past 6000 IPL runs as an opener. Mentor and batting coach Dinesh Karthik echoed the sentiment by stressing Kohlis clarity and confidence. Were all used to seeing it, sometimes you dont realise how special what he does actually is. He had complete confidence in himself during the innings. The strokes he played were very self-assured, and he knew exactly what he needed to do to get the team across the finish line. I wish people got more insight into how he speaks during the strategic timeout. Hes so clear and confident about what he needs to do, he added. Kohli also crossed 400 runs in an IPL season for the 12th time and went past 6000 IPL runs as an opener.

IPL 2026: Hardik, Suryakumar Out As Mumbai Indians Opt To Bowl Against Punjab Kings
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association: Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to bowl first against Punjab Kings in Match 58 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamshala on Thursday. Captain Hardik Pandya has still not recovered fully, and Jasprit Bumrah is leading MI for the first time in his absence. While Suryakumar Yadav is also missing the match due to personal reasons. Punjab Kings have also made three changes as Harprit Brar, Xavier Bartlett, and Azmat Omarzai are included in the playing XI. After winning the toss, MI skipper Jasprit Bumrah said, We have decided to bowl first. We saw the last game and felt that maybe with the cold weather coming down, the wicket would settle down. I didn't think that I would be a Test captain before becoming MI captain (smiles). As much as we can, we can play three games left, and we want to enjoy and maybe ruffle a few teams. Surya is not here for personal reasons, and Allah is not there as well. While after losing the toss, Shreyas Iyer said, We would have bowled first as well. The wicket looks a bit drier. Still don't know how the pitch will play, so just being positive about it. We should stop thinking about what has gone wrong. We have to think about being in good shape and having a positive mindset. Harpreet Brar, Xavier Bartlett, and Azmatullah Omarzai come in. Punjab began their campaign in dominant fashion, winning six of their opening seven matches and emerging as one of the strongest sides in the tournament. However, their momentum has faded in recent weeks, with Shreyas Iyer's men suffering four consecutive defeats. As the playoff battle heats up, PBKS will be desperate to halt the slide and strengthen their chances of securing a top-four finish. PBKS are currently placed at fourth position in the points table with 13 points in 11 matches. On the other side, the Mumbai Indians were knocked out of the competition following their eighth defeat of the season against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Raipur on May 10. Despite boasting a star-studded lineup and showing early promise, they failed to convert their on-paper strength into consistent performances throughout the campaign. Their season has been marked by inconsistency, leaving them ninth on the points table with just six points from 11 matches.
