IPL 2026: Line And Length Key On tennis-ball Bounce Wicket In New Chandigarh, Says Rabada
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Gujarat Titans pacer Kagiso Rabada, holder of the Purple Cap with 28 scalps, said bowling against Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium was about sticking to line and length and adjusting to the tennis ball bounce on offer in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. RR, powered by Vaibhav Sooryavanshis 96, Ravindra Jadejas attacking 45, and Donovan Ferreiras late blitz of 38 not out, have set GT a daunting target of 215 if they are to enter the IPL 2026 final, where they will face defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Both GT and RR are aiming to enter their third IPL final. I think there was a little bit (of help) in that wicket. Its got some tennis ball bounce. So, trying to hang as much as possible in and around that area, and then adjust accordingly. Thats always key, bowling is about line and length. The more you miss your line and length, the more you decrease your chances of getting a wicket. RR, powered by Vaibhav Sooryavanshis 96, Ravindra Jadejas attacking 45, and Donovan Ferreiras late blitz of 38 not out, have set GT a daunting target of 215 if they are to enter the IPL 2026 final, where they will face defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Both GT and RR are aiming to enter their third IPL final. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Asked whether the pitch was slightly doublepaced, Rabada replied, Not too much. I think the ball is coming onto the bat quite decently. They scored 214 runs, so that tells you that the ball is coming on pretty decently. But you still have to bat well. You still have to form some good partnerships, and then thats the way to chase this total. Article Source: IANS

GT vs RR Qualifier 2 Playing 11: Rajasthan Royals, buoyed by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's explosive 97, face Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2 for a spot in the IPL 2026 final against RCB. Gujarat seeks redemption after a heavy playoff loss. The winner advances to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the summit clash on May 29 in New Chandigarh.
'If Vaibhav Bats Through Powerplay, RR Will Have The Advantage: Kumble
PCA New International Cricket Stadium: Former India captain Anil Kumble believes Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi could once again hold the key for his side when they face Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2 of the IPL 2026 at the PCA New International Cricket Stadium on Friday, noting that if the youngster survives the powerplay, it will give a massive advantage to RR. Despite RR's strong performances in the tournament, Kumble feels the side still enters the contest as underdogs but backed them to edge past Gujarat if Vaibhav delivers another impactful start. Its a hard one to predict. Its really hard because Rajasthan have done well, yet they still seem to be the underdogs. I think Ill go with the underdogs. Im still expecting Vaibhav to do what he did against SRH because if Vaibhav does that, Rajasthan will have the advantage, Kumble told JioHotstar. The young RR opener has been one of the standout performers of the season and currently holds the Orange Cap. The 15-year-old played a brilliant knock of 97 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), which proved crucial to their big win in the eliminator. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is the Orange Cap holder, and that doesnt come from doing it just once or against a couple of teams. Hes done it consistently over the last two months, and that says a lot about the youngster. Its not just about going out there and bashing a few sixes, even though he is the highest six-hitter now. If he bats through the Powerplay, RR will have the advantage, Kumble added. Kumble, however, pointed out that the Gujarat Titans possess a potent new-ball attack capable of putting Rajasthan under pressure early in the innings. GT have a very set plan. They have Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada bowling three overs each, and thats where the game could change, he said. The former India leg-spinner also noted that the conditions in Ahmedabad have suited Gujarats seamers this season, though he expects them to regroup after their previous outing.

IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch GT Vs RR Qualifier 2, Know All Details
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals will meet in the all-important Qualifier 2 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, on Friday, with the winner taking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 final. Both sides know they have to do their best to secure a place in the final by winning the winner-takes-all clash. Gujarat Titans lost to defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) while Rajasthan Royals made it by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 1. GT will be looking for ways to stop Rajasthan's opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who had shamed a 28-ball 97 against Sunrisers Hyderabad and will be a big threat to the 2022 winners. RR had dramatically made the playoffs after beating the Mumbai Indians in their final league phase match at the Wankhede. Both franchises are in pursuit of their second IPL silverware. While the RR, winner of the inaugural edition in 2008, are aiming to make it to the final, GT are determined to reclaim the championship glory they first achieved during their debut season in 2022. When: Friday, May 29, 7:30 PM IST Where: Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, New Chandigarh Where to watch: The GT vs RR match will be broadcast on Star Sports channels, with JioHotstar live-streaming the game.

Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Gujarat Titans know they must be at their absolute best to stop a Rajasthan Royals side playing some of the most explosive cricket of the season, when the two sides meet in a do-or-die Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh on Friday. The stakes could not be higher. A win will help the Gujarat Titans book their place in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where they will again take on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Sunday. But a loss would mean that a campaign that promised much would come to an abrupt end. GT arrive in New Chandigarh with something to prove -- their Qualifier 1 game against RCB in Dharamshala ended in a heavy 92-run defeat, their worst performance of the season at the worst possible time. Rahul Tewatia's gutsy fifty offered a rare positive in an otherwise lopsided contest, where their menacing new-ball pair of Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj could not contain a rampant RCB batting lineup. GT will need their opening pair of captain Shubman Gill and B. Sai Sudharsan, and number three Jos Buttler to fire on Friday, and hope for their bowling line-up to stop a rampaging Vaibhav Sooryavanshi from making big runs. RR, meanwhile, have won three on the trot and arrive in Qualifier 2 brimming with confidence after saying goodbye to Sunrisers Hyderabad. The catalyst has been 15-year-old Sooryavanshi, who is fast becoming the tournament's defining story. His 97 off just 29 balls against SRH in the Eliminator was breathtaking and astonishing in equal measure. He now wears the Orange Cap with 680 runs at a staggering strike rate of 243 and also broke Chris Gayle's record for the most sixes in a single IPL season by taking his tally to 65 maximums. The pairing of Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal has combined for 747 runs at a strike rate of 206 making them the most productive partnership of IPL 2026, ahead of Gill-Sudharsan. Dhruv Jurel has enjoyed a career-best season with 508 runs at a strike rate of 155, while skipper Riyan Parag has provided calm leadership throughout. With the ball, Jofra Archer has been RR's most potent weapon - 24 wickets at a strike rate of 14, including 14 in the powerplay. The England pacer's battle against the GT top order will also be one of the most anticipated duels of the evening. Ravindra Jadeja adds match-winning balance with both bat and ball and brings invaluable playoffs experience to the RR dressing room. GT hold a commanding 7-3 head-to-head record over RR and famously beat them in both the 2022 Qualifier 1 and the final. But this season, the scores are level - GT won by 77 runs in Jaipur, while RR had a six-run victory in Ahmedabad. The venue, however, leans firmly in RR's favour they have won all four matches in New Chandigarh this season, while GT have managed just one win from three outings here.

IPL 2026: GT Confident Of Bowling Plans Against Sooryavanshi, Says Parthiv Patel
Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans assistant coach Parthiv Patel said the team is confident of its bowling attack and its plans are in place to counter teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 Qualifier 2 against Rajasthan Royals, to be played at the New PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh on Friday. Young Sooryavanshis match-up against GTs new ball pair of Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada will be one of the biggest subplots in deciding who will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the title clash, to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. I am not a broadcaster right now, and I am not there on the pre-show of Star Sports. So I can't tell you what plans I have made. But it feels really good about the way he is batting. Hopefully, we will try to get him out early in the game. As all the teams are planning, we have seen the videos. Hopefully, we will be able to execute our plans. But what it is, we will be able to tell you when we are on the ground. In the beginning, I had said that the way he has been batting is very good. Even last time, I said that we should not be talking about his age. I think that is something that we need to put an end to. He has been a phenomenal talent, just the way he has been playing, and it's great to see. From the opposition's point of view, we hope that he doesn't get big runs tomorrow, Patel said at the prematch press conference. Asked about GTs bowling line-ups ability to bounce back after being hit all over the park by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru batters in Qualifier 1, Patel said, We are quite confident about our bowling lineup. You have named all of them. All of them are renowned bowlers in international cricket. That has been our strength also, picking up wickets early in the powerplay, and that is something which we will try to do tomorrow as well. He also said GT, the IPL 2022 winners, have moved on from its crushing Qualifier 1 defeat in Dharamshala. There is nothing to bring from the last match, and that is better. That was not a good match for us. The only thing I can say is the way Tewatia spent time in the middle. Obviously, there were a lot of questions about middle order before the big game, but (Rahul) Tewatia spent a lot of time in the middle. So, that is something very positive. Otherwise, in the playoff games, whether it is Rajasthan or us, you have to leave that game behind and try to look forward. On leading run-getter B Sai Sudarshans strike rate, Patel said, No, I don't think there is any kind of temptation to tell Sai Sudarshan to go with a higher strike rate. He has been very effective. He has been scoring at a fair strike rate, also. It is not that he is scoring under 100. If someone is scoring at 300, it doesn't mean that everyone has to strike at 300. But he has been very effective. He has given us results. So there is no talk about telling Sai Sudarshan that you need to go higher than 170 strike rate or 200. Patel also dismissed criticism of GTs style of play from IPL critics. We were sitting pretty at number 2 in the points table. I know other teams can think whatever they want to think. Six teams have not qualified. I know the references which we heard about - I know Tom Moody had said about GT as a set pattern team. It is not that he is scoring under 100. If someone is scoring at 300, it doesn't mean that everyone has to strike at 300. But he has been very effective. He has given us results. So there is no talk about telling Sai Sudarshan that you need to go higher than 170 strike rate or 200. Also Read: Live Cricket Score We were just doing okay, but we still stuck to our process. We trust in our ability, and we know what we can do, and that is something which we will try to do tomorrow as well. We feel that we are a very good unit, and if we go out there and execute our plans, I think we can win that game, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

'Six Machine' Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 15, Stakes India Claim With New Stunning Knock
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's latest extraordinary innings was hailed by cricket greats on Thursday, as calls grow for the 15-year-old phenomenon to be propelled straight into the senior India team. The teenage opener hit 12 sixes, including three in a row off Australia captain Pat Cummins, before he was out for 97 off 29 balls for Rajasthan Royals in Wednesday's playoff win over Sunrisers Hyderabad. Yeah, he played pretty well, said a shell-shocked Cummins, who was launched into the stands four times in all by the left-hander. The margins are so small. You miss your yorker by a little bit and he doesn't tend to miss them. So, yeah, fair play. Sooryavanshi hit seven boundaries in a row to reach 97 off 28 balls. But he was caught in the deep attempting another that would have broken Chris Gayle's record of 30 balls for the fastest IPL century. On the way he smashed the West Indian's 12-year-old record of 59 sixes in a single edition of the IPL. He has cleared the ropes 65 times and is in possession of the Orange Cap for the most runs in the IPL season, with 680 at an average of 45.33. Past master Gayle called Sooryavanshi the IPL's new six machine. What a phenomenal player Vaibhav is. Great entertainment young man! he posted on social media. Sooryavanshi was crestfallen when he was out. But he has a chance for more fireworks against Gujarat Titans in the final playoff match on Friday. The holders Royal Challengers Bengaluru await the winners in Sunday's final. Calls for Sooryavanshi to be fast-tracked into India's team have accelerated since he slammed a 17-ball 52 to start his IPL season. He is the best T20 opener in the World... India have to pick him, former England captain Michael Vaughan said on X on Wednesday. India batting legend Sachin Tendulkar lauded Sooryavanshi's technique calling the innings simply spectacular. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's bat swing has been exceptional, he posted. What stands out even more is the way he effortlessly clears his front foot to make room for deliveries targeting his pads. This gives him the freedom to play his natural game. Comparison with Tendulkar, who made his full international debut aged 16, have been inevitable. But former India wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik warned against heaping expectation on young shoulders. What Vaibhav is doing is very special, but what I don't want the people to do is tag him as the next Sachin because he is just 15 years old, Karthik said on the Quest Talk podcats. I think what Sachin did was extraordinary. Vaibhav's challenges will be completely different. Rajasthan captain Riyan Parag said he didn't need to offer much advice to the fearless youngster. That's the thing we don't have any conversations, Parag said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score He likes batting. Just leave him alone, let him go and have fun.

siddaramaiah-stays-true-to-his-style-as-he-signs-off-from-karnatakas-top-job
Siddaramaiah, who believes that political leaders should regularly address the press and is no stranger to long press conferences, attended his last presser as the longest-serving chief minister of Karnataka on Thursday. Flanked by D.K. Shivakumar on his right and G. Parameshwara on his left, with other party leaders and ministers standing in the background, Siddaramaiah addressed reporters at the conference hall of his home office, Krishna, on Kumara Krupa Road in Bengaluru. He came straight from Lok Bhavan after submitting his resignation. Earlier in the morning, Siddaramaiah met Shivakumar and members of the council of ministers over breakfast. The handout pictures sent to the media had already cleared the speculation about the developments unfolding since both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar met the party high command in Delhi on May 26. Siddaramaiah appeared visibly composed in the jam-packed hall filled with reporters, officials and camera crews. He began the briefing with a pre-written speech, announcing that he had submitted his resignation as chief minister of Karnataka to the governors office. Since Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot was out of town, he said he hoped the resignation would be accepted soon, paving the way for a new chief minister who enjoyed the support of 135 plus one legislators, along with two independents. He later thanked Sonia Gandhi and the Congress high command before turning reflective. Siddaramaiah described himself as a mere villager who rose to become chief minister because of democracy and constitutional values. He continued by highlighting the achievements of his government, saying his welfare schemes had benefited every section of society without discrimination based on caste or religion. In typical Siddaramaiah style, the press conference soon shifted into a discussion on the states economy and fiscal management during his tenure. He accused the BJP of deliberately misrepresenting his social welfare schemes by creating fake narratives around guarantees and the states finances. He repeatedly stressed his belief in the Constitution, saying it was because of constitutional democracy that an ordinary villager like him could become chief minister. He said he would fight communal forces until his last breath. When reporters asked about his next political move, Siddaramaiah said he had been elected for five years and would continue as a legislator for the remaining term. He also revealed that the party high command had offered him a Rajya Sabha position, but added that he was not interested in it at the moment. On the question of the next chief minister, Siddaramaiah briefly looked at Shivakumar seated beside him and said he would support whoever the party and legislators selected as their legislative party leader. While the mystery around his resignation was formally cleared through the briefing, there was still no official confirmation that Shivakumar would be the next chief minister. Throughout the press conference, Shivakumar appeared visibly tired and restrained, perhaps reflecting the weight of his long political wait and struggle to achieve a dream that now stood only hours away from becoming reality.

IPL 2026: The Biggest Positive For Archer This Season Is His Fitness, Says Irfan Pathan
After Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: Former India left-arm fast bowler Irfan Pathan said the biggest positive for Jofra Archer this season has been his fitness, noting the Rajasthan Royals pacers ability to play consistently and deliver hostile spells without breaking down has been instrumental in the sides run to Qualifier 2 in IPL 2026. After Vaibhav Sooryavanshi hit a stunning 97, Archer then delivered a fiery newball spell by claiming three wickets to derail Sunrisers Hyderabads chase. Archers hostile lengths and accuracy ensured SRH were bowled out for 196, sealing RRs passage to Qualifier 2, where they will meet Gujarat Titans in New Chandigarh on Friday. So far Archer has 24 wickets from 15 games in IPL 2026 and is the third leading wicket-taker in the competition. The biggest positive for Jofra Archer this season is his fitness. He has played almost every match without breaking down, which has been his main issue in the past. This year, his pace is back up, and his line has been excellent. His over to Ishan Kishan went for a few runs, but he kept bowling hard lengths close to the stumps. Eventually, he got his wicket. He also hit the stumps consistently, especially against Travis Head. Archer targeted Head and delivered a magical ball to dismiss him, perfect line. On the New Chandigarh pitch, most of his deliveries were back of a length. He didn't try to bowl too full - he was in good rhythm, and that is why he picked up three crucial wickets. If those early wickets hadn't fallen, Sunrisers Hyderabad would have gotten much closer. Without Jofra Archer's early breakthroughs, the match could have been very different, said Pathan on Star Sports. Though GT suffered a 92-run defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Qualifier 1, former India opener Aakash Chopra said the Shubman Gill-led sides bowling approach could unsettle RR. Gujarat Titans should have a clear plan heading into the second qualifier: bat first and put 200plus runs on the board. They may not have the most glamorous or starstudded lineup, but they are a very disciplined unit. He didn't try to bowl too full - he was in good rhythm, and that is why he picked up three crucial wickets. If those early wickets hadn't fallen, Sunrisers Hyderabad would have gotten much closer. Without Jofra Archer's early breakthroughs, the match could have been very different, said Pathan on Star Sports. Also Read: Live Cricket Score That kind of discipline can be very hard to break. So, there is a real possibility that this Rajasthan Royals juggernaut can be stopped by GT. If any team can do it, it's one that doesn't get overwhelmed by big names and sticks to the basics, he added. Article Source: IANS

satish-jarkiholi-is-frontrunner-for-kpcc-chief-what-makes-this-post-strategically-significant
With D. K. Shivakumar poised to take over as Karnatakas chief minister, discussions have reportedly begun over the next president of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC), with Public Works Minister Satish Jarkiholi emerging as the frontrunner. Alongside the leadership transition, the Congress high command is planning a major organisational reshuffle in the state. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who is expected to announce his resignation later today, has reportedly sought key positions within the party for his supporters. Among Congress functionaries, Jarkiholi is seen as an acceptable organisational leader capable of maintaining harmonious relations across factions. Acknowledging the ongoing discussions, Jarkiholi told reporters in Delhi on Tuesday, If the party leaders ask me to take up any responsibility, I will consider it and convey my opinion to the high command. According to the Hindustan Times , Congress leaders believe Jarkiholis administrative experience, social outreach, and non-confrontational image have strengthened his standing within the party. Satish Jarkiholi is being discussed seriously because he has administrative experience, organisational exposure, and support among backward classes, Dalits, and tribal communities, a party functionary said. Other potential candidates for the KPCC chiefs post include Industries Minister M. B. Patil, former Bengaluru Rural MP D.K. Suresh, and Home Minister G. Parameshwara. Historically, the KPCC chiefs position in Karnataka has often served as a stepping stone to the chief ministership. According to a New Indian Express report, Satish Jarkiholi has expressed his aspiration to become chief minister by 2028, making the party presidents post a crucial platform for his long-term political positioning. The report further notes that several leaders in Karnataka have ascended to the chief ministership after successfully leading the party organisation to electoral victories. Jarkiholi is viewed as a leader capable of consolidating support from backward classes, Dalits, and minority communities. Through his potential elevation, the high command is believed to be carefully balancing regional, caste, and factional equations in its deliberations during the ongoing power transition.

Sooryavanshi Has Shown Throughout IPL 2026 That Pressure Simply Doesnt Affect Him: Kumble
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India captain Anil Kumble praised teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, opining that the most striking aspect of his season has been his complete freedom from pressure, even in the biggest moments, after the Rajasthan Royals opener delivered a stunning match-winning performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2026 Eliminator. The 15-year-old blasted 97 off just 29 balls as RR posted a massive total before sealing a 47-run victory at New Chandigarh to advance to Fridays Qualifier 2, where theyll face Gujarat Titans in what will be a repeat of the IPL 2022 final. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has shown throughout the season that pressure simply doesnt seem to affect him, and this innings was another example of that. In just 29 balls, he completely changed the direction of the game and put Sunrisers Hyderabad under immense pressure right from the start, Kumble told JioStar. Sooryavanshis innings dismantled Hyderabads bowling plans almost immediately. Despite captain Pat Cummins and his attack attempting different lengths and field adjustments, Rajasthan stormed through the Power-play and never allowed SRH to regain control. Kumble pointed out how quickly the young batter forced Hyderabad to abandon their original plans. Pat Cummins and the bowlers came in with plans, but within the first couple of overs those plans were already disrupted because they simply didnt know where to bowl to him. To play an innings of this magnitude in a knockout game at the age of 15 is extraordinary, he said. The former India spinner also credited Sooryavanshis consistency across the season as a major reason behind RRs run to Qualifier 2. One of the biggest reasons Rajasthan Royals are now in Qualifier 2 is because of the impact he has had throughout the tournament, and holding the Orange Cap at this stage only highlights how remarkable his season has been, the former spinner stated. Sooryavanshis knock once again underlined his extraordinary campaign, with the teenager already being regarded as one of the breakout stars of IPL 2026. His innings against Hyderabad included a 16-ball fifty that equalled Suresh Rainas record for the fastest half-century in an IPL playoff match. Looking ahead to Qualifier 2 against GT, Kumble believes Rajasthans current momentum and confidence make them a dangerous side. Gujarat Titans had actually controlled large phases of Qualifier 1 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru before things slipped away in the latter half of the game. A few dropped catches, extras, and the sudden collapse after Sai Sudharsans dismissal put them under immense pressure, he stated. Kumble added that Gujarats approach against Sooryavanshi could ultimately decide the contest as he said, But heading into Qualifier 2, a lot could depend on how they handle Vaibhav Sooryavanshi because Rajasthan Royals confidence is extremely high at the moment. They are coming into this game after three consecutive wins against quality sides like Lucknow Super Giants, Mumbai Indians at Wankhede, and now Sunrisers Hyderabad. Gujarat Titans had actually controlled large phases of Qualifier 1 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru before things slipped away in the latter half of the game. A few dropped catches, extras, and the sudden collapse after Sai Sudharsans dismissal put them under immense pressure, he stated.
