IPL 2026: Sunrisers Hyderabad Opt To Bowl Against GT, Both Teams Unchanged

Indian Premier League: Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and elected to field first against Gujarat Titans in a clash of former winners in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. The clash could prove pivotal in the IPL 2026 playoff race, with both sides firmly in contention for a top-two finish. SRH briefly occupied the top spot before being overtaken by Royal Challengers Bengaluru, but their turnaround this season has been remarkable. After managing just one win in their first four matches, the side led by Pat Cummins has won six of its last seven games to emerge as one of the strongest teams in the competition. Gujarat, meanwhile, have gathered momentum at the perfect stage of the season. Under Shubman Gill, the Titans have strung together four consecutive victories and could move to the top of the standings with another home win. The two sides have similarly built their campaigns, relying heavily on explosive opening partnerships and disciplined bowling attacks. However, the middle-order remains a key difference between them. While Hyderabads middle order, powered by Heinrich Klaasen, has consistently scored quickly and cleared the ropes regularly, Gujarats lower middle order has contributed far less in comparison. The bowling battle could ultimately decide the contest. Gujarats pace attack has delivered consistently throughout the season, while Hyderabads attack has improved significantly following the inclusion of Sakib Hussain. Whichever side manages to break through the oppositions top order early could gain the decisive advantage in what promises to be one of the standout matches of the league stage. Winning the toss, SRH skipper Pat Cummins said, We're going to have a bowl first. We've not played here before, so have a first look at it with the ball, and then whatever we need to chase, hopefully gets a little bit easier later on. A little bit. I mean, there are always different variables as well. I think there's been one or two blowout wins where they've bowled them out pretty cheaply in the first innings. Yeah, you look at it all. It's still a bit of a gut feel. No one can really read pitches perfectly. But this is a crucial game, and it's an intense time of the tournament. I mean, no, not really. I think we've kind of earned the right to give ourselves a few chances and make that final. So we've got three games left. We haven't played for a little while. Yeah, Abhi (Abhishek Sharma) just mentioned GTs superior record over SRH in the change room. I said perfect, nothing to lose now. All the pressure's all on them. No changes. Meanwhile, GT captain Shubman Gill said, I mean, we're going to see about that. You know, I'm not the one about stats and all these things, but we were also looking to bowl first. But this looks like a better wicket than we have had in the past couple of matches on this particular wicket. It's all about being consistent, being consistent with your thought process, being consistent with your execution as much as possible. And this is the last bit of the end of the tournament, and it's very important to be able to bring your A-game and give it your best. We're going with the same team.

'One Of The Greatest Comebacks In IPL History': Banger Backs KKR's Playoffs Charge

Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar believes Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are on course to script one of the greatest comebacks in IPL history after the three-time champions reignited their playoff hopes with a stunning turnaround in IPL 2026. After struggling in the early half of the season and staying near the bottom of the points table, KKR have bounced back strongly with four consecutive victories to emerge as serious contenders for a top-four finish. KKR have won four matches in a row. Their team balance is looking solid. The spin attack has regained its bite, and the batting unit is firing consistently. They are peaking at the right time, which is what matters most in a long tournament, Bangar told Jio Hotstar. Teams that build momentum towards the business end often go deep into the playoffs. KKR are in a very good space right now. Thats why their playoff probability has gone up significantly, he added. Bangar further stated that Kolkatas remaining fixtures could define one of the most memorable turnarounds seen in the league. If they win their remaining four games, they will pull off one of the greatest comebacks in IPL history. From the bottom of the table to the top four, that would be a remarkable turnaround. It will take a special effort, but with the form they are in, it looks possible, he said. Bangar also reflected on the shifting dynamics of the playoff race following Punjab Kings defeat to Delhi Capitals, saying the result has complicated Punjabs hopes of securing a top-two finish.

'I Dont Think About India Comeback': Bhuvneshwar Opens Up On Return Talks

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Veteran India pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar has dismissed talks around a potential national team comeback despite enjoying a stellar IPL 2026 campaign with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), saying he no longer sets long-term goals after learning from past disappointments. The 36-year-old swing bowler, who has picked up 21 wickets this season and has been one of the standout performers for RCB, said external conversations around an India return do not occupy his mind anymore. I don't think about India's comeback. It's been many years that I've stopped setting long-term goals. Because whenever I've done that, it never worked for me, Bhuvneshwar said in a video released by RCB on X. With several former cricketers and experts recently advocating for his return to the Indian setup following his consistent performances in the IPL, Bhuvneshwar maintained that he is content with where he stands in his career. I'm happy that there are 200 matches, there are so many wickets, there's powerplay, there's death. I think it's all reward for what I've done over the years. There have been good years and bad years, he said. Honestly, at this point of time, I don't feel anything special. Of course, I'm lying if I say that it won't happen in the future once I stop playing. I think these are all memories that will come in handy later. But at this point of time, I think it's very normal for me, he added. Reflecting on his long cricketing journey, Bhuvneshwar recalled making his first U-15 appearance for Uttar Pradesh at the age of 22 and credited his natural ability to swing the ball as the foundation of his success. I think it was a natural swing. It was God-gifted. The basics are still the same ball swing, smooth action, express pace, bounce. T20 cricket may have changed demands, but the art of fast bowling remains unchanged, he said. Known more for skill and control rather than raw pace, Bhuvneshwar admitted that not being an express fast bowler eventually worked in his favour. I've never been an express bowler, so I never got tired. I wasn't in a hurry because I didn't bowl fast. Not being express was a blessing in disguise for me, he explained. Bhuvneshwar also opened up on his tactical approach across different phases of a T20 innings, highlighting the importance of simplicity and execution. In the powerplay, I'm a swing bowler, and if the ball is moving, I go for wickets. Middle overs are completely different because the batters have a different mindset. At death, it is about confidence and execution. But no matter what phase it is, keep things simple, that's always been my mantra, he said.

Why are oil prices up today, and will Brent crude futures and US WTI rates rise sharply in near future? Oil rises as supply fears return

Why are oil prices up today, and will Brent crude futures and US WTI rates rise sharply in near future? Oil prices increased as hopes for a peace deal faded and supply fears returned. The Strait of Hormuz risk, lower OPEC output, falling US crude stocks, and US-China tensions pushed markets higher. Analysts now warn that prices may rise more if the conflict continues or if shipping routes remain disrupted.

I'd Never Say No To The Team,' Says KKR's Raghuvanshi On His Transformation To Wicketkeeper

When Angkrish Raghuvanshi: When Angkrish Raghuvanshi whipped off the bails in a flash to stump Pathum Nissanka off the bowling of Anukul Roy, Delhi Capitals' last realistic hope of resisting Kolkata Knight Riders evaporated at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on the night of May 8. It was a stumping only a wicketkeeper with years of experience could execute. The small irony, here, is that, until September last year, Angkrish was not one. Behind Angkrishs transformation as a keeper for KKR in IPL 2026 was a project planned by Abhishek Nayar, his long-time mentor and the sides head coach and executed by fielding coach Dishant Yagnik. What motivated me was my team asked me if I could do a job for them and I'd never say no to that. But it was very tough at the start because I've never done it before and I didn't believe that I could do it. But our fielding coach, Dishant Yagnik, made me work tirelessly throughout the day and night. He made me do drills and was confident that I'll be able to do it. If he's confident like that, then it just helps me in also believing that I can do it and I really want to thank him for that, Angkrish told IANS in an exclusive conversation ahead of KKRs clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, to be played in Raipur on Wednesday. The pre-season fitness data was encouraging: Angkrish's flexibility and agility caught notice, and he topped Nayar's circuit test, designed to simulate high-intensity movement under fatigue. The bones of a keeper, it seemed, were already there. With the backing from KKR support staff, Angkrish has managed to do a decent job with the gloves, apart from being KKRs leading run-getter in this season with 269 runs in ten games. I think it's very important to have some people who are calm in the dressing room because most people are having that adrenaline of the game and it's not easy to think objectively and with a calm head at that time, a lot of emotions happen. So when you have people like that who can do the thinking for you, then it becomes very easy and they communicate a lot with us and if we can listen to them, I think it's a blessing for us to have them, he added. The dressing room's approach in the tournament, as per Angkrish, has removed the weight of pressure rather than adding more of it. Actually, I think I'm blessed to have this team and this support staff around me. They say that 'Don't think about being responsible too much, just think about enjoying the game and trying to do what you feel is right for the team.' When someone says that, obviously from inside you want to do well for the team, but when someone says that, it takes the pressure off and just helps me do my work. So it's a great environment to have, he added. The coaches he credits most deeply for making his life smooth in KKR are Nayar and Yagnik. For Abhishek sir, I've always said that not just my batting, but every growing phase and learning in my life on the field and off the field comes from him. He's, I think, the most important person in my life. Dishant sir has been great in terms of just making me do drills every day and not letting me have a day off. I think it's helping me on the field. Just the few lessons that I've learned from both of them are just how important it is to always work hard because I'm given this opportunity and not many people are. So I have to be grateful for it and I have to do something about it. The physical toll is real, and he does not underplay it. I think wicket keeping and batting are already hectic enough as it is, so I can have my cheat meals whenever I want. But also the physio Dr. Prashant (Panchada) and Dr. Abhishek (Sawant) and the trainers CD (Chris Donaldson) and Sagar (VM) sir - they're great with just telling me exactly what I need because it's a very hectic schedule. So you can't over train and under train - it has to be the perfect amount and I leave it all up to them and then they tell me what to do and I trust them completely, he added. KKR extending their winning streak to four games after a difficult six-game stretch came in New Delhi, the place where Angkrish spent his formative years before moving to Mumbai to be under Nayar. Having experienced the best of both cities, Angkrish has settled well into the Mumbaikar identity. I think that was one of the most important moves of my career when I moved to Mumbai because when I played there, I saw how many people are working hard to play there and it just motivated me every day to obviously work harder than them, but also to be grateful for the life that I have and I think that's why I say that I'm a Bombaywallah because of the culture of cricket there and everything I've seen while growing up. So now I embrace that title fully. As for what lies ahead, especially with KKR still in the reckoning for a miraculous entry into the playoffs, the ambition is kept deliberately small by Angkrish. I'm not someone who likes to keep goals. I just think that next match, we just have to win the next match and I think it's working also (right now). I think that was one of the most important moves of my career when I moved to Mumbai because when I played there, I saw how many people are working hard to play there and it just motivated me every day to obviously work harder than them, but also to be grateful for the life that I have and I think that's why I say that I'm a Bombaywallah because of the culture of cricket there and everything I've seen while growing up. So now I embrace that title fully. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The stumping of Nissanka was the moment that caught everyones eye about Angkrishs keeping. But it was Yagnik's drills and Nayar's quiet conviction, along with Angkrish never saying no to any role that made it turn into reality. For someone referred to as KKR's starboy, donning keeper's gloves were never about adding a skill it was about answering a call KKR needed and hes simply doing that. Article Source: IANS

Prince Gill Fires Back in Style: Runs, Rate and Consistency in IPL 2026

Shubman Gills brilliant 84 on 9th May powered Gujarat Titans to a dominant win over Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur. Shubman Gill, alongside Sai Sudharsan (55), laid the foundation with a superb 118-run opening partnership as Gujarat posted a season-high and match-winning 229/4 and then dismissed the hosts for 152 in 16.3 overs. This was GTs fourth successive win, which lifted them to 14 points alongside Sunrises Hyderabad at the top of the standings and strengthened their playoff hopes. The most noteworthy aspect of the win was Gills fluent 44-ball 84, with nine fours and three sixes, registering his fourth half-century of the season. Shubman Gill, in IPL 2026, is leaving no stone unturned in giving a fitting reply to all his detractors who were almost unanimous in their T20 verdict against him, terming that playing modern T20 is not his cup of tea. He was dropped from India's T20 WC squad, but this shifted his focus towards a quicker batting approach and impressive performance in IPL 2026. No doubt, GTs mid-season show cannot be attributed to Shubman Gill alone, but no one can deny that he has played a dominating role. He tops in contribution of a batsman in team runs in this IPL and his contribution stands at 27.8% of team runs, with +12 SR in comparison to a team. Let us look at some more facts: His IPL 2026 performance: 462 runs in 10 innings @ 46.20 with an SR of 160.42, including 4 fifties. Only H Klaasen (SRH- 494), Abhishek Sharma (SRH- 475) and KL Raul (DC-468) were ahead of him in run tally but each of them played 11 innings. Gradual improvement in Shubman Gills SR: He is already ahead of his IPL 2024 strike rate of 147.40 and his IPL 2025 strike rate of 155.88. The rise is steady and significant and most importantly, he has come out as the least collapsible opener of the season, and he has made 235 powerplay runs off 135 balls at 174.07. Success story of Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan's partnership: The duo has stitched useful and big opening stands in changing the GTs fortune. They are very close to the IPL record of 10 centuries scored by the legendary Royal Challengers Bengaluru pair, Virat Kohli & AB de Villiers (in 76 games). Gill and Sudharsan now have nine century partnerships (in 43 games) together in the IPL, at par with Virat Kohli and Chris Gayles tally (in 59 games) for the second-most century stands by any pair in the IPL. Gill and Sudharsan have also equalled the record for the most century stands for the opening wicket in the IPL, with six 100-plus stands together, matching the SRH duo David Warner & Shikhar Dhawan and Abhishek Sharma & Travis Head. As the season progresses, the race is still open. Overall IPL record: 4328 runs in 125 innings @ 40.07 with an SR of 140.74, including 4 hundreds and 30 fifties. He is the only batter in the IPL to score 4000+ runs with a 40+ average and 140+ SR. 400+ runs in a consecutive season: With 462 runs this season so far, Shubman Gill has now scored 400+ runs for the 7th consecutive season (2020-26) and is at par with Suresh Raina (2008-14) and Shikhar Dhawan (2016-22) and can better the feat next season, continuing the same scoring spree. In 2020440 runs. In 2021478 runs. In 2022, 483 runs. In 2023890 runs. In 2024426 runs. In 2025650 runs. In 2026462* runs. Most IPL Seasons with 400+ runs (seasons played): Shubman Gill has scored 400+ runs in 7 out of 9 IPL seasons played (missed 2018 & 2019 for KKR). Virat Kohli (11 out of 19), Suresh Raina (9 out of 13), David Warner (9 out of 15), Shikhar Dhawan (9 out of 17), Rohit Sharma (9 out of 19) and KL Rahul (8 out of 13) are ahead of Shubman Gill, but no one matches his frequency percentage.
