IPL 2026: I Focus On Being Versatile For Whatever Comes In Front, Says Sai Sudharsan On His Attitude As An Opener

Chennai Super Kings: Gujarat Titans opener Sai Sudharsan opened up on how adapting to the ever-evolving demands of T20 cricket has become central to modern batting, emphasising the importance of versatility and situational awareness as he reflected on his approach at the top of the order. Speaking ahead of Gujarat Titans clash against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Sudharsan, coming off a century in the previous outing against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, underlined his batting philosophy. As a team, me and Shubhi (Gill), we are focusing more on percentage cricket. We'll try and keep and push the team as much as front as possible. And what that means for us is giving them a very good base when they come in in 14th or 15th over, he told the broadcasters ahead of the toss. Highlighting how the format is changing, he stressed the need for adaptability, saying, T20 is evolving and as batters, we'll also have to evolve and be versatile enough for whatever comes in front of us at the situation. So I think I've focused on that and looking to play the situation rather than thinking this strike-rate I have to play. More focused on the situation and the conditions what is required. Sudharsan also spoke about returning to a familiar venue and the emotions attached to the venue. I'm catching up with them (family and friends) after the game, but very, very grateful and happy to be back at Chepauk. Highlighting how the format is changing, he stressed the need for adaptability, saying, T20 is evolving and as batters, we'll also have to evolve and be versatile enough for whatever comes in front of us at the situation.

IPL 2026: Urvil Patel Comes In For CSK As GT Opt To Bowl

Chennai Super Kings: Gujarat Titans won the toss and elected to bowl against hosts Chennai Super Kings in the 37th fixture of the IPL 2026 here at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, in the first match-up of the double header Sunday. At the halfway stage of the tournament, both CSK and GT are evenly placed with three wins and four losses from seven matches, making this clash important for momentum and standings. CSK head into the game high on confidence after a dominant win over Mumbai Indians, powered by Sanju Samsons unbeaten 101 and a four-wicket haul from Akeal Hosein. Back at Chepauk, where they have won two of three matches, CSK will look to continue their strong home form. In contrast, GT are under pressure after back-to-back losses to MI and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, despite a century from Sai Sudharsan. While their bowling remains a strength, concerns over an inconsistent middle order persist as they aim to regain form. Winning the toss, GT skipper Shubman Gill said, We're gonna bowl first. It looks like a good wicket. On a wicket like this, it's good to have a total on the board. (The heat is) not that bad. A good bit of breeze going on, so hopefully it wouldn't be too tough on our bowlers. We're doing a lot of the things right. It's just about winning the small moments and I think in bowling when we're leaking runs, we are leaking too many runs in that period of three to four overs. So it's just about hitting that length ball consistently in the middle overs. And that's what the talk has been about. Honestly, if the wicket is nice (in the powerplay), that is our talk. If the wicket is well, get 70-80 in the powerplay, get as many actually in the powerplay but it's very important to assess the conditions and if the wicket is a 170-180 wicket, really you got to assess that as well because I think at the end of the day, it's important to play the conditions rather than something that has not happened. One change, Arshad is coming back in the squad. Meanwhile, CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said, It's a bit on the drier side and more often than not, it will remain the same, so we're batting first really well and wouldn't mind putting on the score again and defend it. The confidence is high looking at the margin of the runs that we won the last game. But again, this game starts fresh, starts from zero. We have to start assessing how the pitch is, bat accordingly, and then try and defend it. But obviously, confidence-wise, we are slightly getting better and better in terms of overall unit. It's just that one or two areas where we need to click, we need to fire, and we'll get better on from that. I've been getting starts and not able to convert it. It's very rare, to be honest, but it doesn't quite happen that often. But as I said, as long as I'm getting starts and as long as someone else is doing the job and we are getting over the line, it's fine. But whenever I feel, I'm there, I'm set, and I feel that today's my day, and I'll have to make sure I'll make it count, and I'm confident with that. We just got one change, Urvil comes in, and we'll play around with the impact player.

IPL 2026: Win Or Lose, Delhi Fans Have Just One Hero Virat Kohli

Arun Jaitley Stadium: Results may matter on the points table, but for thousands expected to pour into Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday evening, there is only one reason to be there Virat Kohli. Whether Delhi Capitals win or lose seems secondary for many supporters ahead of their high-voltage IPL clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The capital is ready to welcome home its favourite cricketing icon, with fans eager to witness Kohli in action once again on familiar turf. Delhi Capitals enter the contest after being outplayed by Punjab Kings on Saturday, but that setback is unlikely to affect the turnout. If anything, anticipation has only grown stronger with Kohlis arrival in the city. Outside the stadium and across the streets of Delhi, one emotion dominates Kohli fever. Young fans speaking ahead of the match made it clear that the evening is less about teams and more about the man who has inspired a generation. Delhi Capitals is our team, but Virat Kohli is our emotion, said one college student, proudly wearing a DC jersey. Another fan added, We just want to see him bat live. Even one cover drive from Virat is worth coming to the stadium. Such is Kohlis pull that loyalties may be divided in the stands, with blue and red jerseys mixing with chants reserved for the batting superstar. Whenever Kohli walks out to bat, the noise is expected to rise several decibels. The former RCB captain continues to command unmatched fan following wherever he plays, but Delhi remains special. It is the city where his cricketing journey began, and every return feels like a homecoming. Such is Kohlis pull that loyalties may be divided in the stands, with blue and red jerseys mixing with chants reserved for the batting superstar. Whenever Kohli walks out to bat, the noise is expected to rise several decibels.

IPL 2026: Kohli Returns To 'home' Ground As Upbeat RCB Look To Maintain Dominance Over Struggling DC (preview)

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The talismanic Virat Kohli will be aiming to have another memorable outing at his original home ground as defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru look to extend their good showing in IPL 2026 over a struggling Delhi Capitals in a keenly awaited clash at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday evening. With Kohli requiring just 11 runs to become the first batsman in IPL history to hit the 9,000-run mark, the stage is set for him to add another chapter in his storied love affair with the iconic venue, where he averages a remarkable 66.8, including hitting seven fifties in 11 innings. Monday's contest pits two of the tournament's most in-form batters against each other. If RCB have Kohli in rip-roaring form, DC will be banking on KL Rahul to take charge with the bat again after his sensational unbeaten 152 off 67 balls against Punjab Kings - an innings that went in vain on Saturday afternoon. What will also cheer DC is that Nitish Rana has found his groove, hitting consecutive fifties. Second-placed RCB enter the match on the back of successfully chasing 206 against Gujarat Titans. All five of their wins this season have produced five different Player of the Match awardees. Their pace attack is at its efficient best, led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood, who have been excellent across phases - particularly in the death overs. In terms of batting, with Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar and Tim David all in great nick, RCB's ability to increase and maintain the tempo throughout their innings has been a standout factor this season. DC, however, are a wounded side looking to regroup and with just 24 hours to recover from their defeat to Punjab Kings, the turnaround is unforgiving. The loss of Lungi Ngidi to a head injury leaves a gap in their pace department, with Dushmantha Chameera likely to come in as cover. Their seam attack has been the least effective in IPL 2026, taking just 16 wickets - the fewest for any pace unit this season. Auqib Nabi and Mukesh Kumar have recorded high economy rates, while T Natarajan, though decent in the death overs, has also been expensive. Fielding has been an equally pressing concern, with DC dropping 16 catches this season and their catch efficiency standing at 60 percent - the lowest among all teams. The spin matchup, however, promises to be pivotal, with Axar Patel - DC's captain and RCB's nemesis with 23 IPL wickets against them - likely to bowl in the powerplay, while Kuldeep Yadav adds another dimension in the middle overs. If DC are to win, they will need both Axar and Kuldeep firing on all cylinders, while hoping their batting line-up can blunt the challenge from RCB's disciplined bowlers. At a venue that has produced five 200-plus totals in nine T20s this season - with teams batting second winning seven of those - another high-scoring, riveting contest is firmly on the cards. With the league stage now in its second half, Monday's contest carries significant implications beyond the two points on offer. For DC, it is a potentially season-defining test - one that demands their batting fireworks be backed by sharper execution with the ball and in the field. For RCB, who arrive with both form and a dominant 20-13 head-to-head history over DC, another win will go a long way in further enforcing their credentials in retaining their championship title.

IPL 2026: If We Drop Catches, We Cannot Defend, Need To Improve Fielding And Bowling, Says Rao

Cricket Venugopal Rao: Delhi Capitals (DC) Director of Cricket Venugopal Rao admitted that dropped catches and poor bowling cost his side dearly in their high-scoring six-wicket defeat to Punjab Kings in IPL 2026. At the same time, he praised KL Rahuls unbeaten 152, while stressing on the need to adapt better in future matches. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, DC posted 264/2, but Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh hitting 116 runs in the powerplay along with captain Shreyas Iyer hitting a composed 71 not out off 36 balls helped PBKS chase down 265 with seven balls to spare. Apart from giving Prabhsimran a life early on, Iyer was also given reprieves twice by Karun Nair in a span of five balls at the fag end, which also played a big part in DC suffering its fourth IPL defeat. Yes, I can say that not 2, we dropped almost 6 catches today. See, when you are dropping batters at a crucial time, I do not think we will win these kinds of matches. Chances to players like Prabhsimran, Priyansh Arya and Shreyas, we need to take those. If we drop catches, we cannot defend, Rao said at the post-match press conference. Reflecting on the failed defense, Rao first credited KL for taking the side to a gigantic total. See, after scoring and putting a target of 264, still we could not defend. First of all, credit goes to KL, the way he handled it. Nobody knows how the pitch behaved, but he kept on striking the ball well. The way he played till the last over, hats off. He continued his form. More importantly, in this format, you cannot relax. He took responsibility as a senior player and you saw the difference this year in what he can bring. I am happy for him. We could not get the win, but we will come back strong in the next match. On areas of improvement, especially DC set to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Monday, Rao said, We will see. Next game when we come, we will answer. There are a lot of positives. But the areas to improve are powerplay bowling and catching. He continued his form. More importantly, in this format, you cannot relax. He took responsibility as a senior player and you saw the difference this year in what he can bring. I am happy for him.

'His Fielding Level Has Got To Go Up': Bishop Criticises Sundar After Kohli's Catch Drop

Former West Indies: Former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop expressed concern over Washington Sundars fielding standards after the all-rounder dropped a crucial catch of Virat Kohli during the clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday, a moment that proved decisive in the outcome of the match. After being put in to bat, Gujarat Titans posted a competitive 205/3, but a crucial moment unfolded in the very first over of RCBs chase when Kohli was dropped on zero by Washington Sundar off the bowling of Mohammed Siraj. The missed opportunity proved decisive as Kohli went on to anchor the chase with a brilliant 81 off 44 balls, guiding the defending champions towards victory. No, I see that differently. Yeah. We've all dropped catches. Sure. You don't pick and choose which ones you drop. Okay. Right? Bishop told ESPNCricinfo. Bishop, however, emphasised the need for improvement from Sundar in the field, stating that the youngster has a lot of time left and should focus on his fitness to be more useful for the team. But what I would, I would ask Washy, Washington Sundar, your level of fielding has got to go up. I think Washy is not; he's a young guy. He's athletic enough, he said. And for too long, I'm seeing missed opportunities with him. So I would ask him to put a little bit more work into that. So he becomes an asset in the field, in addition to all the other things, Bishop added. Former South Africa pacer Dale Steyn also weighed in on the costly dropped catch, stressing that certain chances in cricket simply cannot be missed, especially when it involves a batter of Virat Kohlis calibre. Steyn highlighted that while dropped catches are part of the game, there are moments that demand absolute precision, and this was one of them. And for too long, I'm seeing missed opportunities with him. So I would ask him to put a little bit more work into that. So he becomes an asset in the field, in addition to all the other things, Bishop added. Also Read: Live Cricket Score That catch. Actually, it doesn't matter who it is. You just can't drop that. That's 10 out of 10; you should be taking it. I mean, the cricketers, there are those you drop. There are those you just can't drop, he added. Article Source: IANS

Sudharsan Need To Step Up His Aggression Level: Ian Bishop

Former West Indies: Former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop pointed out the lack of speed in Gujarat Titans opener batter Sai Sudharsan's after his breathtaking IPL century against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and stated that he needed to tep up his aggression level in his batting approach. Sudharsan lit up the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium with a sensational 100 off 58 and in the process etched his name in the IPL records by becoming the fastest batter to reach 2,000 runs. But it wasnt enough as GT went down fighting against RCB by five-wickets in a high-scoring clash. Sudharsan, who was the Orange Cap winner from IPL 2025, had a patchy start to IPL 2026 as he had just one fifty-plus score before his century against RCB. He's one of the guys that needed to step up his aggression level. For the most part of that innings, I thought he was outstanding for a very orthodox player, Bishop said on ESPNcricinfo's TimeOut. I think that hundred would be very, very pleasing for him and for the GT dugout, and for the IPL as a whole, because here's another guy who gets another hundred - they've been coming in thick and fast in the last week and a half, hasn't it? He certainly did his part. If we're asking other guys that should have stepped up, at least Sai Sudarshan did his part. Meanwhile, former South African pcaer Dale Steyn was impressed with Sudharan's innings and said the opener knows exactly how and where he wants to score his runs. He certainly did his part. If we're asking other guys that should have stepped up, at least Sai Sudarshan did his part. Also Read: Live Cricket Score It was similar to the way that Sanju Samson got his hundred the other night.

Gavaskar Blames Dropped Kohli Catch for GTs Loss as RCB Seal Chase

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar believes Gujarat Titans paid a heavy price for dropping Virat Kohli, early in the chase, that helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) seal a five-wicket win. After being put in to bat, GT posted a competitive 205/3, but a crucial moment unfolded in the very first over of RCBs chase when Kohli was dropped on zero by Washington Sundar off the bowling of Mohammed Siraj. The missed opportunity proved decisive as Kohli went on to anchor the chase with a brilliant 81 off 44 balls, guiding the defending champions towards victory. That dropped catch of Virat Kohli off Sirajs bowling definitely cost Gujarat Titans a lot. We all know he is not just known as a king. He is known as a chase master as well. He loves these kinds of situations where he comes in to bat, knows the target, and can play according to the situation, Gavaskar told JioStar, reacting to the turning point of the game. Speaking about the impact of the early reprieve, he added, You drop him on the first ball, then he will definitely make you pay. That is exactly what he did. After that dropped catch, what a knock he has played. Kohlis innings not only laid the foundation for the chase but also saw him achieve milestones, becoming the first player to reach 800 fours in IPL history and only the third to hit 300 sixes in the tournament. Gavaskar further highlighted Kohlis mastery in run chases, stating, Chasing down huge totals with ease has been Virats trademark batting style throughout his career. GT must be thinking about that dropped catch. At one point in the run chase, when the spinners were bowling, the ball was gripping a bit. It would not have been that easy once the ball got a little older. But this man is one of the greatest in the game. He made it look easy. In addition to Kohlis brilliance, Gavaskar also praised Devdutt Padikkal for his aggressive approach in the middle overs, where he scored a quickfire 55 to keep RCB ahead of the required rate. Devdutt Padikkal played an excellent innings. Virat Kohli rightly pointed out after the match that Padikkal has been hitting some very clean cricketing shots. Earlier, he was seen as an off-side player. His main scoring areas were cover and mid-off. He used to struggle on the on-side. But now he has overcome that limitation. He is hitting sixes and boundaries behind square as well, Gavaskar said. In addition to Kohlis brilliance, Gavaskar also praised Devdutt Padikkal for his aggressive approach in the middle overs, where he scored a quickfire 55 to keep RCB ahead of the required rate.

Euronics Concludes ECCL Season 3, Bringing 200+ Companies Together Through Sport-Led Workplace Engagement

Euronics India has wrapped up Season 3 of the Euronics Corporate Cricket League (ECCL), bringing together over 200 companies across Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Delhi NCR and Mumbai in a growing sport-led initiative focused on workplace engagement and cross-industry collaboration. Viknesh Jain & Abhishek Jain with the Euronics Team at ECCL Season 3 At a time when the popularity of the Indian Premier League has reinforced crickets ability to bring people together across cities, industries and communities, corporate cricket leagues are emerging as a new way for brands and businesses to create stronger employee engagement and industry relationships. In India, cricket has increasingly moved beyond being just a sport to becoming a platform for connection, identity and shared experiences, and ECCL reflects that same shift within the corporate ecosystem. The Mumbai leg marked the culmination of the multi-city tournament, featuring 24 teams competing across 23 matches. Over the season, ECCL saw participation from companies spanning real estate, architecture, design and allied corporate sectors, with 20 to 50 organisations participating in each city edition. Leading brands such as K Raheja Corp, Sobha Limited, CBRE, Prestige Group, Colliers, Knight Frank, Cushman & Wakefield and Space Matrix were among the participants. Moving beyond conventional networking formats such as meetings, exhibitions and conferences, ECCL is positioned as a sport-led platform that enables professionals to build relationships outside formal business settings. By bringing teams together on the field rather than across boardrooms, the initiative creates a more informal and collaborative environment for engagement across the ecosystem. Delhi NCR saw the highest participation with 48 teams, where Design Forum International emerged as champions and Proion Consultants finished as runners-up. In Bengaluru, Team Zyeta secured the title, with Team CBRE as runners-up, while Hyderabad hosted 16 teams, with RK Interiors CFS (India) Pvt Ltd emerging as champions and Interia finishing as runners-up. The Mumbai finale saw Architect Hafeez Contractor crowned champions, with HOSMAC India Pvt. Ltd. finishing as runners-up. Speaking on the conclusion of Season 3, Viknesh Jain said: Cricket has always had a unique ability to bring people together in India and the IPL has shown how the sport can create a sense of community, identity and engagement far beyond the game itself. ECCL brings that same spirit into the corporate world. What started as a cricket tournament has steadily evolved into a platform where professionals step away from formal roles, connect more openly and build stronger business relationships. The scale we are seeing today, with participation from over 200 companies across four cities, reflects a growing need for more human, experience-led ways of building business ecosystems. Abhishek Jain added: What makes ECCL work is the shift in context. When architects, developers, consultants and corporate teams come together on the field, conversations change and hierarchies dissolve. It creates a more natural way for people to connect, which is often difficult to achieve in formal business environments. Increasingly, brands are recognising that cricket can be a powerful platform not only for visibility, but also for building stronger communities within and around their organisations. Over three seasons, ECCL has steadily evolved into a platform that brings together diverse industry voices through shared experiences, reinforcing Euronics focus on building communities alongside its core business.

KL Rahul Eyes Must-Win Approach as Delhi Capitals Gear Up for Crucial Home Clashes

Delhi Capitals (DC) wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul has emphasised the importance of maintaining a must-win mindset as the side prepares for crucial back-to-back home fixtures against the Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at their home ground- the Arun Jaitley Stadium. DC are currently placed sixth in the points table with three wins and three losses from six matches. They began their campaign with consecutive victories over Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians, before suffering back-to-back defeats against Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. While they bounced back with an away win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru, a third loss in their campaign in their previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad has left them looking to regain consistency. Personally, I always take every game as a must-win game and for me I'm pumped that the next two games are against teams that are sitting very comfortably at 1 and 2 in the table, Rahul said in a video shared by Star Sports on X ahead of their clash against PBKS. Highlighting the value of testing themselves against the strongest sides, he added, So, like I said, you want to challenge yourself against the best teams and for us as a team, I think beating RCB and Chinnaswamy gave us a lot of confidence because they're a really good team. Punjab Kings, who currently sit atop the standings, have been one of the standout teams this season, and Rahul acknowledged the challenge they pose. Punjab right now are playing some exceptional cricket. They seem unbeatable at the moment. So, that's what is challenging and that's what is exciting for us to take it on ourselves to see how we can put pressure on Punjab early in the game and see how we can get two points. The wicketkeeper-batter stressed that wins against top teams could significantly boost the squads belief and standing. That will give us tremendous confidence and then from there, we'll go on to RCB and if we can get back-to-back wins, that will obviously give us points and help us sit pretty in the table but also give us that confidence within the group that there's no doubt that we have the skill and we have the talent and we have everything that is required for us to be a champion team, he said. Rahul further underlined the importance of translating potential into results. Only when that translates to performance and victories against good teams, that's when you start feeling confident and you sort of get a little bit of arrogance which you need in today's game and in modern T20 game, you need a bit of arrogance to walk in there telling the opposition that we're too good, we feel like we can beat anybody on a given day or even if we don't have a good day, we'll still beat you. The wicketkeeper-batter stressed that wins against top teams could significantly boost the squads belief and standing. That will give us tremendous confidence and then from there, we'll go on to RCB and if we can get back-to-back wins, that will obviously give us points and help us sit pretty in the table but also give us that confidence within the group that there's no doubt that we have the skill and we have the talent and we have everything that is required for us to be a champion team, he said.
