IPL 2026: Will Be Difficult To Keep Padikkal Out Of The Indian Team For Long, Feels Karthik
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik believes Devdutt Padikkals ongoing form in the 2026 IPL has been so assured that it will be difficult to keep him out of the Indian team for a long time. Padikkal struck 50 off 29 balls his second consecutive fifty of the season - and set the tone for RCB to post a daunting 250/3 against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, as they eventually won by 43 runs. The first thing that stands out is his determination. On a pitch like this, when runs dont come easily at the start, many batters try to force a big shot and end up giving their wicket away. Devdutt showed great courage to stay patient when the going was tough. Once he got that first boundary, you could see him switch gears. Hes playing proper cricketing shots and hitting the ball with distance. If he continues batting like this, it will be difficult to keep him out of the Indian team for long. He has scored heavily in domestic cricket and we know hes a quality player. Whats also impressive is the way hes stepping up as a leader in the Karnataka dressing room. Even at 25, he contributes with his ideas and leadership, and thats great to see, said Karthik on JioStar. Once he got that first boundary, you could see him switch gears.

'Dravid Rarely Seen Inside': Kumbles Witty Take On Pavilion End Honour At Chinnaswamy
The Karnataka State Cricket Association: Legendary India spinner Anil Kumble shared a hilarious take on being honoured with the pavilion end at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium named after him, saying the pavilion end has not been named after Rahul Dravid because he either spent most of his time outside it or because he was rarely seen inside once he walked out with the bat. The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) unveiled the Anil Kumble End and the Rahul Dravid End ahead of the IPL 2026 clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings on Sunday, recognising the contributions of two of Karnataka and Indias finest cricketers. Kumble shared a light-hearted remark involving Dravid. Probably because Rahul spent most of his time outside the pavilion. When he used to bat, he was rarely seen inside, he told JioStar. The pavilion end of the stadium has now been named after Kumble, referencing his bowling style and long spells during his career. And I have been given the pavilion end, probably because it is close to the pavilion and you dont need a run-up to bowl from there. When I played, I bowled a lot of overs from both ends, so why did they give me the pavilion end?, he joked. Reflecting on the honour, Kumble admitted the gesture had exceeded anything he had imagined during his playing days. I never thought that there would be a permanent end at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in my name. Its a special feeling, he added.

Jamieson Eyes New-ball Role In First Year With DC, Hails IPL As best Place To Grow
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: New Zealand fast bowler Kyle Jamieson is yet to get a chance to play for Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2026. But the tall pacer stated that when the call to play comes for him, he anticipates taking new ball bowling duties, though he admitted to his role yet to be formally defined by the team think tank. After featuring for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the 2021 IPL, Jamieson returned to playing the tournament as an injury replacement for Lockie Ferguson at Punjab Kings. At the back end of the competition, Jamieson picked up five wickets in four matches at an economy rate of 9.8, including picking a three-fer in the final against RCB. Not really just because I haven't been in the team for those first couple of games, so you don't really have too much of an idea around where you're going to slot in. I think that probably comes once you're sort of - if you're fit into an 11 or 12 - you sort of work out, I guess, the mix of your players and bowlers at that point of time. So nothing really around role clarity. I mean, I'd expect that it'd be the new ball stuff, but equally being flexible as probably every bowler is nowadays. You've got to be flexible across the whole innings. So, nothing sort of set in stone as of yet, but if I do get a chance to play, then I'm sure that'll come, said Jamieson, while replying to a question from IANS in a virtual roundtable chat ahead of the side taking on Gujarat Titans on Wednesday. DC have won two out of two games so far, and Jamieson has found Axar Patel to be an impressive skipper who has managed the bowlers well and kept things calm, apart from not minding to have a laugh. All of this has kept the team atmosphere light and joyful, with the playing group finding themselves in a good space, especially with in-form young batter Sameer Rizvi being impressive in taking the side home twice in tricky run chases. When asked about DC pacer Mukesh Kumar's post-match remark after the six-wicket win over Mumbai Indians on him drawing inspiration from Josh Hazlewood consistently hitting Test match-like lengths - Jamieson endorsed that thinking wholeheartedly. I think what Mukesh alluded to, like that simplicity piece is what we're all striving for, right? Like, you've all got your strengths and stuff and you're trying to stick to that. I think that's something that, obviously, Hazlewood's done well for a long period of time now, and Mukesh did it brilliantly in the last game, is how can you have that strength and that resolve to just hold firm? I think, when guys are hitting you for boundaries, it's very easy to get sort of under pressure and trying to change and think you have to do something different. It's almost a bit of a strength of character thing to be like, Nah, I'm just going to hold there. I know that's my strength. I know that gives me the best chance of getting guys out and then trying to hold through the powerplay. It's not going to work every game. I think when the wickets are really good, guys can get away. But I think it's a real key sort of thing to try and hold it firmly on, he elaborated. For Jamieson, whos coming after playing all five T20Is for New Zealand against South Africa, the broader motivation for being part of IPL goes well beyond the immediate question of selection or role. Instead, he views the tournament as an unmatched arena for self-improvement - one where the pressure is relentless and the rewards, in terms of growth, are equally huge. In terms of the IPL now, for me, I think it's like the premier tournament in the world, right? So you always want to be a part of that. You learn so much. I think even having played a fair bit of cricket now, you're constantly trying to learn and grow. For Jamieson, whos coming after playing all five T20Is for New Zealand against South Africa, the broader motivation for being part of IPL goes well beyond the immediate question of selection or role. Instead, he views the tournament as an unmatched arena for self-improvement - one where the pressure is relentless and the rewards, in terms of growth, are equally huge. Also Read: Live Cricket Score But, like I said, I think just for me, it's the best place to grow and to become a better cricketer and to challenge yourself. For us as athletes, that's what you want to do - you want to put yourself in the arena where it's the hardest and see whether you can cope with it, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: They Just Stuck To A Bad Plan, Says Rayudu On CSK Third Straight Loss
Former Chennai Super Kings: Former Chennai Super Kings batter Ambati Rayudu believes the team stuck to a bad plan that hurt as they slumped to a 43-run defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their IPL 2026 clash at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. CSK endured a difficult outing with the ball as RCB piled up a massive 250/3, powered by a late onslaught from Tim David and Rajat Patidar, who added 99 runs in just 35 balls. The visitors then fell short despite a fighting chase, eventually being bowled out for 207. Analysing CSKs bowling effort, Rayudu pointed out that the issue was not merely planning, but the inability to deviate when things began to unravel. More than a bad plan, they just stuck to that bad plan. There was nobody to intervene and to just take some time off, take those 20-30 seconds, just make it slightly more slow and then guide the bowler with a message. I think they should have slowed it down a little bit, Rayudu told ESPNCricinfo. RCBs late surge, which saw them smash 97 runs in the final five overs, exposed CSKs struggles at the death. Their follow-up balls after a boundary or a six aren't great, Rayudu added. More than a bad plan, they just stuck to that bad plan. There was nobody to intervene and to just take some time off, take those 20-30 seconds, just make it slightly more slow and then guide the bowler with a message.

Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming defended his team and expressed optimism about the future and long-term vision with a youthful squad after the five-time winners suffered their third straight loss on IPL 2026. CSKs struggles continued as they failed to chase down a daunting 250/3 posted by Royal Challengers Bengaluru, powered by blistering knocks from Tim David, Rajat Patidar and Devdutt Padikkal. Despite resistance from Sarfaraz Khan and youngster Prashant Veer, CSK were bowled out for 207, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar leading the charge with the ball. With pressure mounting after a winless start to the campaign, questions have emerged around CSKs squad overhaul and auction strategy. I think weve got some really good talent. This is, theres five or six new players that have started this season, but we think they are of high value moving forward, he said in the post-match press conference. The five-time champions had drawn scrutiny for splurging heavily on uncapped Indian players like Veer and wicketkeeper Kartik Sharma, while letting go of experienced names. Fleming explained that the shift was deliberate and necessary. While CSKs batting has been inconsistent, it is their bowling that has raised greater concern. The side has now conceded totals in excess of 200 in two of their three matches, including the 250 they allowed RCB, who plundered 97 runs in the final five overs. Fleming, however, pointed to broader trends in T20 cricket and the impact of rule changes. Bowling is under pressure in the IPL, especially with the impact rule. Youre seeing players who are taking the game on, and their skill set is very high. So, look, all bowling attacks are under pressure. We need to execute better. Theres no doubt about it. But theres a lot of pressure on bowling units, especially in good conditions, he said. As we reviewed last season, we had to spend a lot of money on Indian talent, so as to regenerate the franchise and create a foundation moving forward. Wed lost some key players in terms of creating a core, whether it be an Indian batting group or just an Indian group, so there was money spent on the future there, which has been well-documented, he explained. Traditionally, CSK have relied on an experienced domestic core featuring players like Suresh Raina, Murali Vijay, Ambati Rayudu and Kedar Jadhav. The current approach, however, marks a clear departure, with the franchise betting on raw, emerging talent. It is becoming difficult as teams bundle (uncapped) players. So thats one of the challenges. But we are constantly looking at where the game is going next and trying to secure a player that we think will be the next big thing, or where the game will go, Fleming said, explaining the rationale behind targeting uncapped players. Reflecting on the fearless approach of modern batters, particularly evident in RCBs late onslaught, Fleming noted, Theyre full of skill and innovation, and its the modern game. Going back to the bowling, its easy to criticise the bowling, but theyre under a huge amount of pressure on good wickets to shut down these types of players. He repeatedly returned to the Impact Player rule, suggesting it has tilted the balance in favour of batters. Youve got no fear because youve got an extra player, and whats happened is players have developed an attitude where they can just take on anything. So, look, its very difficult when theres no assistance, and youre going to get cameos and performances like this when conditions are so good, he said. I am not sure how much longer its here, or if its here to stay, but that certainly changes the dynamic of cricket and probably sways it a little bit towards batting power, he added. So again, you say, how long is the impact player rule here? Will all-rounders come back into the game, or will it continue to be a game of dashers? I dont know. Id like to see the balance between bat and ball a little bit more, he opined. Despite the teams struggles, Fleming backed Sanju Samson, who has endured a lean run with three low scores. So again, you say, how long is the impact player rule here? Will all-rounders come back into the game, or will it continue to be a game of dashers? I dont know. Id like to see the balance between bat and ball a little bit more, he opined.
