Yuvraj Singh, co-founder of IGPL, said: The team component will make the game exciting with its fast pace. I am thrilled by the plans to grow the game, which holds so much potential.

IPL 2026: 'Bowlers Get Confused When We Bat Together,' Says Jitesh On Pairing With Shepherd
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) finishers Jitesh Sharma and Romario Shepherd spoke about their on-field chemistry, highlighting how their contrasting styles make them a challenging pair for bowlers in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as they gear up for their second match to be played against five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday. Jitesh underlined the tactical advantage of their partnership, noting how their differing strengths complicate field placements for the opposition. I feel when we play together, the bowler might be confused. When I can use all the angles, he can hit the ball with power. So it's confusing for the bowler to place the field, he said in a video released by RCB on X. Shepherd, meanwhile, emphasised the confidence he derives from batting alongside Jitesh, crediting him for creating a positive environment in the middle. Whenever I'm batting with him, I feel confident because he always makes me feel like I'm the best. Also, he makes me feel like I can hit every ball for six. So that's something that, you know, he gives me the confidence to go there and play my shots, he said. Despite his own aggressive approach, Jitesh admitted that matching Shepherds power is no easy task. I can't gain the power that I want. I think if I try to gain that power, I might not be a cricketer; I might be a bodybuilder or something else. But I think it's very difficult to get his power, he added. Shepherd also praised Jiteshs composure and versatility, particularly in pressure situations, which helps him remain calm at the other end. Whenever you're batting with someone like Jitesh, what Jitesh does well in the end, you know, is hold his composure, stay calm, and you know, you have all the shots. So it's easy for him to actually go to one of his funky shots, you know, one of the scoops or something like that. In T20 cricket, that's all you want, he said. Shepherd also praised Jiteshs composure and versatility, particularly in pressure situations, which helps him remain calm at the other end. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Jitesh and Shepherd played a huge role in RCB's triumph last year. Jitesh scored 261 runs in 15 matches, while Shepherd hit 151 runs in just 8 matches and also scored a 14-ball fifty against CSK. Article Source: IANS

Nuwan Thushara Moves Court Against SLC Over IPL 2026 NOC Denial: Report
News Wire Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka fast bowler Nuwan Thushara has moved the Colombo District Court seeking legal intervention after Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) declined to grant him a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for participation in the Indian Premier League 2026. The matter came up for hearing on Thursday, with the court scheduling the next proceedings for April 9. In his petition, Thushara has named SLC president Shammi Silva, secretary Bandula Dissanayake, treasurer Sujeewa Godaliyadda and CEO Ashley de Silva as defendants. The pacer had secured a contract with Royal Challengers Bengaluru for IPL 2026, having previously featured in the tournament in the last two seasons with the boards approval. However, SLC is understood to have withheld the NOC this time, citing his failure to meet required fitness benchmarks, according to News Wire Sri Lanka. Thushara has contested the decision, stating that his central contract with the board expires on March 31, 2026, and that he had already communicated his intention not to renew it. He further claimed that he has effectively been out of national selection plans, making the boards stance on fitness grounds inconsistent and unjustified. In his plea, the bowler maintained that his fitness levels remain in line with those of previous years, during which he was granted NOCs to participate in overseas leagues, including the IPL. He argued that the refusal to issue the clearance now lacks merit, especially given the absence of any change in his physical condition. Thushara has contested the decision, stating that his central contract with the board expires on March 31, 2026, and that he had already communicated his intention not to renew it.

My Role Is To Understand What Each Individual Needs And Prepare Them For Match Situations: DK
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik, who has transitioned into a batting coaching role at Royal Challengers Bengaluru after formerly representing the franchise, opened up on his role, saying that his job is to understand every player's needs and help them prepare for tough situations in the match. His influence was evident as the team started their 2026 IPL campaign by making history with the fastest 200-plus chase in the IPL, defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad in just 15.4 overs, an achievement that underscores the team's strong preparation and effective execution under pressure. In our team, we have players at very different stages of their careers. All of them are eager to learn, and my role is to understand what each individual needs while ultimately preparing them for match situations. Where they bat and the challenges they face are very different. For example, someone like Phil Salt will often deal with the new ball swinging, whereas for someone like Romario Shepherd, swing is rarely a factor at that stage. So, its about helping them understand those scenarios, what positions to get into, what to look for and then observing and giving them feedback accordingly. Coaching is as much about understanding the person as it is about the skill, Karthik said, reflecting on his coaching philosophy. Drawing from his playing career and broadcasting experience, Karthik highlights the importance of clarity, brevity, and trust to help players make well-informed decisions under pressure. These are elite players who are already dominating world cricket, so you dont need to overcoach. Its about giving them the right inputs and trusting them to make the best decisions. My experience in broadcasting has been very helpful. You travel, watch different teams and players closely, and analyse both their strengths and weaknesses. As a commentator, youre constantly observing and breaking the game down, which helps later in coaching. Its also taught me to communicate clearly and concisely, and that really helps when working with players, Karthik added. This season, RCBs batting has shown a consistent structure and adaptability throughout different phases. A crucial part of Karthiks role has been customising preparations for each player, enabling them to foresee and react to particular match situations. As a commentator, youre constantly observing and breaking the game down, which helps later in coaching. Its also taught me to communicate clearly and concisely, and that really helps when working with players, Karthik added.
