IPL 2026: Abhisheks Century Powers SRH To Third Spot With 47-run Win Over DC
Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium: Opener Abhishek Sharma scored an impressive unbeaten 135 from 68 balls as Sunrisers Hyderabad reached 242 for 2 and secured a 47-run victory over Delhi Capitals in Match 31 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad on Monday. The left-hander's innings was a lesson in controlled aggression. He reached his fifty in just 25 balls and got his ninth T20 hundred in 47 balls, pacing the innings well before launching a fierce attack. By the 15-over mark, he moved ahead of Heinrich Klaasen in the Orange Cap race, highlighting his dominance this season. SRH started their innings steadily but quickly gained momentum. Delhi briefly regained some control with Nitish Rana's offspin during the Power-play, allowing just six runs while SRH scored 15 for no loss after two overs. However, the strategy backfired once the batters found their rhythm. When Rana returned after SRH reached 36 for no loss in four overs, he was taken apart in a 20-run over with three sixes, pushing the score to 56 without loss. Abhishek led the way, scoring 21 off 12 and dominating the attack along with Travis Head. The two put together another smooth partnership in the Power-play, taking SRH to 67 for no loss. The final ball of this phase marked the team's 70th six of the season, surpassing Royal Challengers Bengalurus total of 69. Head, who began cautiously, accelerated to 37 off 26 before getting out at 97 for 1 in 8.5 overs. He mishit a long hop from Axar Patel to deep midwicket after hitting two sixes in the over. However, this breakthrough did not slow SRH. Ishan Kishan added a quick 25 off 13 before being run out at the non-strikers end, bringing Klaasen to the crease at a key moment. The South African finished the innings with a powerful 37 off just 13 balls, helping SRH easily exceed the 240-mark. In the middle overs, Kuldeep Yadav struggled as SRH raced to 126 for 1 in 11 overs, with Abhishek and Kishan attacking aggressively. Even though conditions looked perfect for reverse swing on a dry pitch, Delhis seamers, including Mukesh Kumar, could not find any movement, allowing SRH to take control. Delhis chase, though spirited, faced the challenge of a huge target. They fought hard and had moments of resistance, but early mistakes in the fielddropped catches, a missed run-out, and poor bowling changesproved costly. With spinners Axar and Kuldeep bowling only two overs each and Rana conceding 55 runs in his four overs, DC struggled to take control. Nitish Rana, brought into the playing XI for this match, top-scored with 57 while Sameer Rizvi contributed 41 runs but in the end that proved insufficient. The defeat leaves Delhi regretting missed chances, while SRH, fueled by Abhishek's outstanding century, celebrated their third straight win and climbed to third on the points table, overtaking the Rajasthan Royals.

IPL 2026: 'One Bad Loss Can't Define Us', Says GT's Shahrukh After Heavy Defeat To MI
Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans batting all-rounder Shahrukh Khan said the side must treat their heavy 99-run defeat to the Mumbai Indians at the Narendra Modi Stadium as an aberration in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 campaign, adding that every team endures at least one such result over the course of a long season. GT, the IPL 2022 winners, will next take on defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday, with an aim to get back to winning ways and improve their net run rate. A major point to watch out for will be how their middle-order, including Shahrukh, will step up in the rest of the season after having a forgetful time against MI, especially with their top three batters captain Shubman Gill, B. Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler falling in the first five overs. That's the thing we have to do (set it aside and focus on upcoming games). Obviously, ups and downs in a long tournament are really normal for any team, but as professionals, it's important to set that aside and look forward to what has to be done. I think everybody is experienced enough to know it. One bad loss can't define us as a team. Everybody has that one bad loss in a long tournament. As individuals, we've set that aside and take the positives out of what happened and then move forward, said Shahrukh in an exclusive conversation with IANS on Tuesday. Last season, Shahrukh scored 179 runs at a strike rate of 179, but the lower-order hitter hasnt been off to the best of starts this year, making only 35 runs from 25 balls. At GT, Shahrukh has been deployed at various positions in the batting order number four, six, and seven, and stated he does not view his role as rigidly fixed. Obviously, my role is in the lower-middle order. But as the game progresses, it's not that somebody will bat in one particular situation. As the game progresses, everybody has to be ready to go in there and adapt to any situation and play. It's not a fixed sort of role. It's important that as middle order batters, we are really open in our head and try and go out and react to any situation that's in front of us, he said. Asked about the difference in batting across positions, particularly at number four compared to six or seven, Shahrukh acknowledged the contrasting demands of the roles, but maintained that professional adaptability was non-negotiable. It is obviously a different role altogether. I wouldn't say that this position is good or that position is good. As professionals, we must adapt to any situation, as I told you. At number four, obviously, you have the chance of taking a bit more time, probably three to four balls extra to get your eyes set in. But lower down the order, that doesn't happen. As professionals, we all know that this is the situation, and this is how it is going to be wherever we bat. Obviously, as per the amount of balls that we hit in the nets and practice, it's important that we adapt to any situation that's in front of us. Obviously, if we have a question of batting at number four or seven, it is different. But as professionals, we have to do it. We don't have any other choice here, he said. Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden has joined the Gujarat Titans as batting coach for IPL 2026, and Shahrukh shed light on the veteran's impact in the sides batting group. He has been a world-class player, obviously. Everybody looks up to him because of the power and the dominance that he showed throughout his career; whenever he batted, it was just immense. He has been really helping all batters in the nets - very simple information here and there. It's really helping batters to go out there and do what they want to. Hayden has obviously been a great influence for every batter who comes in, especially openers, because he has opened all his life, and the way he communicates stuff to the openers is brilliant, and his coming to the team has obviously gotten that. He is a guy who is always switched on, and he has got that aggression. So, it's really good to have him around, he elaborated. On his specific preparations for acing the finisher's role in the rest of the season, Shahrukh signed off by saying that hes aiming to ace two primary challenges bowlers pose at the back-end - yorkers and slower deliveries. The finisher's role is to start going from ball one, according to what the situation is put in front of you. The preparation has been very simple. Obviously, in the death overs, everybody is trying to bowl yorkers or slower balls. On his specific preparations for acing the finisher's role in the rest of the season, Shahrukh signed off by saying that hes aiming to ace two primary challenges bowlers pose at the back-end - yorkers and slower deliveries. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Obviously, yorkers are something that all bowlers go to in the death overs. So, try to dig out yorkers as much as possible at practice. So, work on these two aspects of death-overs batting is going on, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: 'We Gave Away Too Many Runs,' Says Gill After Gujarat Titans 'heavy Defeat' To MI
Indian Premier League: Skipper Shubman Gill admitted that the Gujarat Titans (GT) conceded too many runs in the middle overs as they slumped to a heavy 99-run defeat against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 30 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday. Honestly, I think we gave away too many runs in the middle overs. On a wicket like that, I think 160-170 was a par score, Gill said after the match. Mumbai Indians had posted a commanding 199/5, riding on a sensational unbeaten 101 off just 45 balls from Tilak Varma, who also equalled the franchise record for the fastest century. Naman Dhir provided solid support with a 45-run knock, while Kagiso Rabada was the pick of the GT bowlers with three wickets. Chasing a big target, the Gujarat Titans never really got going. Jasprit Bumrah struck on the very first ball, while Hardik Pandya removed Jos Buttler early to put MI firmly in control. Despite a brief fightback, GT kept losing wickets at regular intervals. I think there are a lot of lessons for us from this game. A small hiccup, but now weve got a couple of games on the road, so hopefully we will come back on the winning side again, Gill said. Mumbai Indians bowlers dominated the chase, with Ashwani Kumar starring with a superb four-wicket haul, while Mitchell Santner and Allah Ghazanfar chipped in with two wickets each to bundle out GT well short of the target. Reflecting on what could have been done differently, Gill said his bowlers failed to adapt to the conditions. I think the wicket was a little bit on the slower side. I dont think we hit the right areas. The length ball wasnt coming on as well, some balls were coming, some werent, and some were keeping low, he said. I think we could have hit that length in the middle overs a bit more consistently, which we were not able to, he added.

Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium: The 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 31 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 to be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. Hyderabad have had a mixed season so far and are currently placed fourth on the points table with six points. They started their campaign with a loss against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru but quickly recovered with a win over the Kolkata Knight Riders. However, their form dipped again as they suffered a close defeat to Lucknow Super Giants and then lost to Punjab Kings. Recently, though, the team has found some rhythm, registering back-to-back victories against the Rajasthan Royals and the Chennai Super Kings. With momentum on their side, they will be aiming to secure another win. On the other hand, Delhi had a promising start to their season, winning their first two matches. But they then faced a setback with consecutive losses. They managed to turn things around in their most recent game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where David Miller played a crucial role by finishing the match in the final over. With confidence restored after that win, Delhi will look to continue their positive run in this contest. The head-to-head record between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals in T20 cricket has been fairly competitive over the years. Out of the 26 matches played between the two sides, Sunrisers Hyderabad have won 13 games, while Delhi Capitals have secured 11 victories. One match ended in a tie, and one produced no result. Their first-ever meeting on April 12, 2013, was won by Sunrisers Hyderabad, while their most recent encounter on May 5, 2025, ended in a tie.

IPL 2026: My Goal Is To Now Play For India Across Formats, Says RCB Pacer Rasikh
Rasikh Salam Dar: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fast bowler Rasikh Salam Dar said his ultimate ambition is to represent India across formats, and is open to representing the country in any form. In IPL 2026, Rasikh has picked five wickets in three games, including a match-winning effort of 4-24. I didnt start playing cricket thinking about the IPL or India. I had no idea where this journey would take me. But now, my goal is to play for India across formats, in any format, Rasikh said in a release by the franchise on Monday. His persistence was evident when he made his first appearance of the season at the Wankhede Stadium, returning with figures of 1-23 against Mumbai Indians despite battling cramps. When I came on to bowl, I got a cramp, something I had never experienced before. After almost every ball, I was cramping. I was falling over while delivering, and I couldnt even bend properly. My only thought was that I had to complete the over. If I could do that, the team would be in a better position, he said. Those efforts earned Rasikh praise from RCB assistant coach Omkar Salvi. There is a character in him. Staying in the hills of Jammu and Kashmir, that hard life, travelling long hours to go and play cricket, you can see the way he has grown as a player. The first thing I saw was that he was competitive. At the same time, he was creative in his approach. Apart from swinging the ball both ways, he had a slower one and a different perspective on how to approach T20 cricket, he said. Rasikh recalled the early doubts around his career, before he got encouragement from his mother. When I started playing professionally, my family and relatives used to say that no one can take cricket as a profession because very few people were playing from our region. But my mother always believed in me. Since childhood, she used to say that my son will become a cricketer. His journey included long travel to attend trials, guidance from Irfan Pathan, and later setbacks with injuries after being picked by Kolkata Knight Riders, amidst a two-year break from the sport. When I first went for the Under-19 trials, I didnt even know the process properly. I wasnt selected that year. The next year, when I went again, Irfan Pathan was there. After watching me bowl a few deliveries, he stopped me and started guiding me. Thats when I felt that maybe he saw something in me. I got a back injury after playing two matches. Then I got injured again during recovery. At that time, I realised I shouldnt rush. I had to follow the process, no matter how long it took. When I first went for the Under-19 trials, I didnt even know the process properly. I wasnt selected that year. The next year, when I went again, Irfan Pathan was there. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The effort behind the scenes was evident to Salvi. He always kept working hard for himself. He was always trying to learn from every game he watched while sitting out. And then he had his own opinions, which we used to discuss later after the game during practice. With Rasikh, he has the ability to move the ball both ways, he said. Article Source: IANS

VinFast's Free Charging Program Could Slash Fuel Costs by More Than Half
Indias EV transition is accelerating, but for many drivers the decision still comes down to a practical question: will it actually save money over time? VinFast recently extended free charging at V-Green stations until March 31, 2029, allowing customers to charge their vehicles at no cost for several years VinFast believes the answer becomes clearer with its latest ownership program. The company recently extended free charging at V-Green stations until March 31, 2029, allowing customers to charge their vehicles at no cost for several years. This charging program is supported by V-Green, a global EV charging infrastructure company focused on building and operating charging networks for VinFast vehicles. In India, V-Green has been steadily expanding its presence, including a recent partnership with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) to deploy EV chargers across HPCLs fuel station network nationwide, helping bring charging access to major cities, highways and key transport corridors as the countrys EV market grows. Free charging reshapes the cost of driving To really see the benefits of VinFasts latest free charging program, one only needs to make one simple comparison. In early March 2026, petrol in New Delhi was priced around Rs. 94.77 per litre, with similar levels across many major cities. Assuming a typical and balanced real-world estimate of 15.5 km per litre for mid-size SUVs, a driver covering about 1,350 km per month would consume roughly 87 litres of petrol monthly. At Rs. 94.77 per litre, that equals about Rs. 8,200 per month in fuel spending. Over three years, that reaches roughly Rs. 3 lakh. Now, take the VinFast VF 7 as an example. The vehicle carries a 75.3 kWh battery and offers a driving range of about 450 km. That works out to an energy consumption of roughly 16.7 kWh per 100 km. For someone driving around 1,350 km per month, the car would need about 225 kWh of electricity. Public EV charging in India typically costs Rs. 10-Rs. 17 per kWh, depending on the charging network and location. Using the midpoint of that range, about Rs. 13.5 per kWh, charging the VF 7 would normally cost around Rs. 3,000 per month for someone driving 1,350 km. Even at that rate, electricity remains significantly cheaper than petrol. Under the same driving assumptions, a typical petrol SUV would spend roughly Rs. 8,200 per month on fuel. And with VinFasts extended free charging program, because owners can charge at V-Green stations without paying until March 2029, the electricity cost during the first years effectively drops to zero. For a driver travelling 1,350 km each month, that removes about Rs. 8,200 in fuel expenses every month. Over a year, the savings add up to roughly Rs. 98,000, and over three years to about Rs. 2.9 lakh. When people actually sit down and run the numbers, they start seeing EVs as a truly cost-effective alternative, not just an experiment , said Arjun Mehta , a veteran sales advisor in Bengaluru. EV economics go beyond charging But the charging program is only part of the picture. A conventional engine has many mechanical parts that wear over time, which is why regular servicing typically involves oil changes, spark plugs, filters and other components. Meanwhile, electric drivetrains are mechanically simpler, so maintenance tends to be lighter. In this respect, VinFast adds another layer of cost savings by offering free maintenance for three years or up to 36,000 km, whichever comes first. Most recently, Vingroup, the parent company of VinFast, launched a special Trade Gas for Electric program running from March 11 to April 30, 2026, offering an additional 3 percent discount on VinFast electric cars for customers trading in a petrol vehicle. The program is being rolled out simultaneously across several markets, including India, and applies on top of existing incentives. In addition, the company already provides financial support for drivers switching from petrol or diesel vehicles. Buyers who sell their existing internal combustion vehicle and purchase a VinFast EV receive a direct cash discount on the purchase price. Taken together, these factors gradually tilt the ownership math toward electric vehicles. Fuel savings play the biggest role, but lower servicing costs and purchase incentives also contribute. For many buyers evaluating EVs today, the question is becoming less about technology and more about everyday expenses.

Virat, Anushka Visit Premanand Maharajs Keli Kunj Ashram In Vrindavan
Ashram Shri Hit Radha Keli: Veteran India and Royal Challengers Bengaluru cricketer Virat Kohli visited Vrindavan with his wife, Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma, and sought spiritual guidance and blessings while also engaging in Ekantik Vartalaap (private spiritual conversation) with Premanand Ji Maharaj in his Ashram Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj, Varah Ghat, on Monday. RCBs last outing at the IPL 2026 was on Saturday against Delhi Capitals at their home ground, the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, where Kohli could only manage a 13-ball 19 while opening with the bat. With a five-day gap before their next game on Friday against the Gujarat Titans at the same venue, Kohli took the time to visit Premanand Ji Maharajs Ashram and indulged in the spiritual conversation.
