IPL 2026: 'RCB Must Back Suyash If They Are To Lift The Trophy Again,' Says Tare

Former Mumbai Indians: Former Mumbai Indians batter Aditya Tare believes Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) should continue backing young leg-spinner Suyash Sharma despite his poor performance in their nine-run defeat to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Tare said RCBs bowling combination still lacks a dependable sixth bowling option and stressed that the franchise should give Suyash greater responsibility instead of relying on part-time bowlers. Suyash has played nine matches so far in IPL 2026 and has taken only seven wickets. He gave away 21 runs in just two overs against LSG. RCB have always struggled to find a reliable sixth bowler. I believe they need to back Suyash Sharma more. He must bowl his full four-over quota. Yes, his line and length have drifted, and his form has dipped. But if RCB want to defend their IPL title, they must trust Suyash, he said on JioStar. Tare also questioned RCBs current bowling strategy and said the side would benefit more from persisting with Suyash rather than turning to all-round options like Romario Shepherd for extra overs. Backing him is a better option than giving Shepherd two overs. Shepherd has not done well with the ball this year. So, Suyash Sharma needs more support if RCB is to lift the trophy for the second time, he added.

'Pant Rotated The Bowlers Really Well Against RCB: Tare

Lucknow Super Giants: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Aditya Tare praised Rishabh Pant for his bold and effective captaincy, highlighting good bowlers' rotation during Lucknow Super Giants thrilling nine-run victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Thursday. Defending 213 in the rain-curtailed 19-overs-a-side contest, LSG survived a late scare from RCB before restricting the visitors to 203/6, with Pants bowling changes and tactical calls proving decisive in the closing stages. Lucknow Super Giants started their bowling innings in incredible fashion. Mohammed Shami has been a master of picking up wickets in the first over this season, and he did it again against RCB, Tare told Jio Hotstar. Tare highlighted how Pant handled a crucial phase of the innings when LSG were yet to use a fifth bowler by the end of the 12th over. Then came a moment where Rishabh Pants captaincy was tested. By the end of the 12th over, he still hadnt used his fifth bowler. That was a risky situation. He turned to Shahbaz Ahmed to fill that role, and that move paid off as Shahbaz picked up two wickets, he said. Pant has been feeling the heat as the captain of LSG this season, but against RCB, he rotated his bowlers smartly and got the best out of everyone, he added. Tare also praised Pants decision to trust Digvesh Singh Rathi with the final over despite the spinner conceding heavily earlier in the innings. In a high-pressure final over, the captains decision can make or break the game, and Rishabh Pant handing the ball to Digvesh Rathi for the final over was a risky move, Tare said. Rathi had gone for 41 runs in his first three overs and was clearly struggling for confidence. But Pant backed him, trusting that Rathis googly could make the difference. And thats exactly what happened. Tare also reserved praise for young pacer Prince Yadav, who dismissed Virat Kohli with a superb delivery and also took three crucial wickets. Rathi had gone for 41 runs in his first three overs and was clearly struggling for confidence. But Pant backed him, trusting that Rathis googly could make the difference.

'Prince Yadav Will Make His India Debut Soon': Rayudu

Lucknow Super Giants: Former India batter Ambati Rayudu believes Prince Yadav is not far away from making his international debut after the young pacer produced another impressive spell in Lucknow Super Giants thrilling nine-run win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Thursday. Prince played a decisive role in LSGs successful defence of DLS target 213 runs in the rain-curtailed 19-overs-a-side contest, finishing with figures of 3-33 and producing a stunning delivery to dismiss Virat Kohli for a two-ball duck. I think he is going to make his debut soon. That guy is a special talent, Prince. The way he runs in, his run-up itself tells you that he is in there for a fight. He bowls a heavy ball, and most of his deliveries hit the stumps. Thats his speciality, Rayudu told ESPNCricinfo. That ball (to get Kohli) was very, very special. The seam stayed up. This is a huge wicket. Its Virat Kohli. Prince Yadav, who too comes from Delhi, plays for Delhi, gets his Delhi team-mate, he added. Princes spell helped put RCB on the back foot early after they lost both openers cheaply in pursuit of a daunting 210-run target. Rayudu also backed the youngster to succeed across all formats, highlighting his fitness, rhythm and consistency as major strengths. I think hell be a treat to stand in the slips. Seriously, to watch this guy bowl is unbelievable. It'll be a total pleasure to stand in first or second slip to him. He is a potential 50-over bowler as well. I think hes an all-format bowler, the way hes looking right now, Rayudu said. The former Indian batter further praised Princes ability to maintain pressure throughout his spells. Also, because hes so fit, hes so agile, and his action is so clean; he has that consistency which most of the bowlers dont have. A lot of bowlers bowl one or two good balls in an over. This guy bowls about four to five. Thats his strength, I feel, he added. The former Indian batter further praised Princes ability to maintain pressure throughout his spells.

'Dev And Rajat Showed Great Character': Mo Bobat After RCB Loss

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru director of cricket Mohammad Bobat praised the fighting spirit shown by his side, lauding the knocks of captain Rajat Patidar and Devdutt Padikkal despite suffering a narrow nine-run defeat against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in a thrilling IPL clash at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Thursday. Chasing a daunting 213 in the rain-curtailed 19-overs-a-side contest, RCB were rocked early after losing both openers cheaply, including Virat Kohli for a two-ball duck. However, Padikkal and skipper Patidar revived the chase with a counterattacking 95-run partnership before the visitors eventually finished at 203/6. Yeah, obviously disappointing to not be able to pick up the two points. I would say that it was encouraging to see some really brave performances from some of the boys today, Bobat said in a video released by RCB on X. Its not often that well be losing both of our openers as early as we did today. Our top order has been fantastic all season, so a bit of a rarity there, but actually the character that Dev and Rajat showed was fantastic, He added. Bobat credited Padikkal and Patidar for absorbing pressure after the early collapse and then shifting momentum back towards RCB. They absorbed pressure for a period of time, and then actually they put some pressure back on them, and towards the back end of their partnership, we were right in that game, so those two deserve a lot of credit for the way they batted, he said. Patidar led the charge with a blistering 61 off 31 balls while Padikkal contributed 34 off 25 deliveries to keep RCB alive in the chase. Later, Tim David smashed 40 off just 17 balls to take the contest deep. Bobat also praised bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Krunal Pandya for their efforts during LSGs innings. I think we did an amazing job to get that close. And also, we must remember that Bhuvi and KP bowled brilliantly, I thought as well, in particular, he said. Looking ahead to RCBs next clash against the Mumbai Indians, Bobat said the team would quickly regroup and focus on improving key areas. I think we did an amazing job to get that close.

'The Way He Took Down Hazlewood Was Brilliant': Chopra Praises Marsh After Century Against RCB

Lucknow Super Giants: Former cricketer Aakash Chopra has heaped praise on Lucknow Super Giants opener Mitchell Marsh, lauding his attacking approach against Australian spearhead Josh Hazlewood after his blazing century helped Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) register a thrilling nine-run win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Marsh played a crucial role in LSG posting 209 runs in a rain-curtailed 19-over-a-side game, as he scored his first century for the side, taking just 49 balls, which is also the fastest by any LSG batter in IPL history. He scored 111 runs in 56 balls, laced wit nine fours and as many sixes. Chopra believes that Marsh has the ability to shift the momentum by taking over the fast bowlers from the onset. Marsh is the only batter in this entire LSG setup who has batted at the same position throughout the tournament. Everybody else has been moved around. Hes got the strength. Hes a very different kind of opener. Hes tall and has long levers and, therefore, goes downtown, he told Jio Hotstar. The moment you start hitting fast bowlers over their heads and into the stands, where do you actually bowl to him?

From Barriers to Architecture: How Security Design Is Reshaping India's Urban Homes

Indias residential real estate market is currently navigating a structural transformation that is as much about psychology as it is about engineering. As cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, and Mumbai continue to expand, the definition of a "secure home" is being rewritten. Whether in high-density multi-storey apartments or sprawling independent villas, security is no longer an afterthought. It is being integrated at the initial drawing board, a shift that is fundamentally changing how the industry perceives doors, windows, balconies, and facades. This evolution marks the convergence of two previously competing forces: uncompromising safety and Biophilic Design. Security Door The Voices of Change: National Summits and Professional Discourse This is not a quiet shift; it is a loud conversation occurring at the highest levels of the profession. Over the last 24 months, national platforms such as the Indian Housing Summits and the 2025 CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) Conference, as well as various institutional webinars hosted by architectural bodies, have featured leading designers and urban planners advocating for a "New Urban Envelope." At these forums, the consensus has been clear: the "Iron Cage" era of Indian architecture is over. Speakers have highlighted that traditional MS (Mild Steel) grills are no longer just an aesthetic eyesore; they are an architectural failure that severs the connection between the resident and the natural environment. These thought leaders are advocating for a transition toward "Passive Security," which involves solutions that protect the home without compromising the biophilic benefits of light and air. The Economic and Biological Value of "Breathable" Homes Biophilic design, the deliberate integration of natural light, fresh air, and outdoor connectivity, has moved from a luxury "ask " to a mainstream requirement. According to the JLL Residential Dynamics Report (Q4 2025) , apartments and independent homes priced above 1 Crore now command a dominant 63% share of total annual sales in Indias top seven cities. This premium segment is driven by a quest for wellness. Research consistently demonstrates that sustained access to natural light and fresh air can reduce urban stress levels by up to 20%. For residents who spend the majority of their time indoors, these elements are essential to the quality of life. Projects that successfully prioritize "breathability" now command a 1015% price premium, as buyers reject the visual heaviness of traditional bars in favour of seamless indoor-outdoor connectivity. Universal Security: From High-Rises to Independent Villas While the architectural form may vary, the need for advanced security is universal. In high-rise complexes, residents face the challenge of shared corridors and proximity to strangers. Conversely, independent houses and villas deal with "perimeter isolation," where entry points are often hidden from public view. The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) 2024/25 report highlights a 7.2% rise in property-related crimes in metropolitan hubs, with a startling 34% of burglars entering through the front door. This is often due to the physical vulnerability of standard wooden doors or basic locks to "forced entry" techniques like prying. Today's security must be proactive rather than reactive. This has created a critical need for active security barriers, which are engineered systems like high-tensile mesh that protect entry points in both villas and apartments without turning the home into a windowless bunker. Today's security must be proactive rather than reactive. This has created a critical need for active security barriers -engineered systems like high-tensile mesh that protect entry points in both villas and apartments without turning the home into a windowless bunker. Engineering an Absolute Sanctuary: The TENTUFF Innovation TENTUFF provides a new concept in home security. Central to this is the proprietary Poly Tensile mesh , a high-tensile woven stainless-steel wire designed for strength with a "seamless view" appearance. This mesh is combined with an engineered aluminium frame using a one-of-a-kind mechanical fastening system. This construction allows for 24/7 natural ventilation and uninterrupted views while ensuring the mesh cannot be kicked or pulled out of its frame. The Mechanics of 3-Point Security 3-point locking system : Simultaneous Activation: Turning the internal snib activates three super-strong locking tongues at the top, center, and bottom of the door. Crowbar Resistance: This creates a fail-proof, uniform grip across the frame to withstand prying and attack. Integrated Safety: The design includes a crowbarstriker plate, a high-quality lock body, and concealed tamper-proof fixings for absolute security. Solving the "Security-Ventilation Paradox" The rising tension between safety and wellness has birthed a thriving market for high-tensile stainless-steel mesh. Architects are now specifying these systems across various configurations, from bi-fold and French security doors to patio and window systems. Unlike traditional bars, this mesh preserves uninterrupted views of the sky and greenery while being anchored in corrosion-resistant aluminium frames. The "biophilic dividend" of these systems extends into public health. In a tropical country where vector-borne diseases like dengue and malaria are persistent challenges, security mesh allows residents to keep windows and doors safely ajar. This enables genuine cross-ventilation and the "Passive Cooling" required by IGBC 2026 Green Building standards, which can lower indoor temperatures by 3C to 5C naturally, significantly reducing the energy loads of air conditioning. The Shift toward Standardized Performance (AS 5039) To distinguish genuine protection from simple insect screening, architects at national seminars have emphasized the need for standardized mechanical proof. The industry is moving away from subjective "sturdiness " toward the Australian Standard (AS 5039), the global benchmark for security screens. Under this rigorous standard, a security screen must be tested as a single, integrated system comprising the mesh, frame, and locks to demonstrate measurable resistance against three specific intrusion methods: the Knife Shear Test, where the mesh must withstand a heavy-duty blade drawn across its surface three times to prevent "stealth slicing"; the Dynamic Impact Test, which requires the system to remain intact after five consecutive strikes from a 40kg lead-filled bag to ensure the mesh does not "pop" out under the force of a human kick; and the Jemmy Test, where the frame and multi-point locks must resist standardized prying forces from tools like crowbars to ensure the perimeter cannot be bypassed at its edges. A Collaborative Future for Indian Housing This evolution requires a new level of collaboration between security hardware manufacturers, architects, and developers at the planning stage. As project specifications move from "optional upgrades" to "inevitable considerations," consumer education remains key. Whether securing a luxury penthouse or a private villa, homebuyers must learn to evaluate security not on price alone, but on its contribution to certified performance, health outcomes, and long-term asset value. As Indian cities grow, the homes being built today will define the liveability standards for the next generation. With regulatory bodies like the Bureau of Indian Standards tightening safety norms and green certifications like IGBC rewarding passive design, the industry is proving that security and biophilic living are no longer competing priorities. We are entering an era where our homes can finally be as open as they are secure.

'World Cup Dream Not Far From Reality For Prince Yadav': Pujara

Lucknow Super Giants: Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara believes that fast bowler Prince Yadav is not very far from realising his World Cup dream after the youngster played a key role in Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) thrilling nine-run win over the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Prince delivered a match-winning spell under pressure as LSG defended 209/3 in the rain-curtailed 19-overs-a-side contest. The pacer finished with figures of 3-33, including the crucial wickets of Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal and Jitesh Sharma, helping LSG regain control after RCB threatened to chase down the target. Pujara said Prince's performances over the last two seasons show he has both the talent and temperament to aim for bigger honours with India. Not just this season; even last season, he impressed a lot. He bowls in all phases of the game, often in pressure situations. Even in this game, he gave away just two runs in an over and took a couple of wickets, Pujara told Jio Hotstar. He is talented, and that World Cup dream he was talking about, I am sure, will not be far from reality. Yes, he has the dream to represent India at the World Cup, but he also has the ability.

IPL 2026: Marsh, Prince Power LSG To Thrilling 9-run Win Over RCB In Rain-marred Contest

Lucknow Super Giants: Skipper Rishabh Pant and Mitchell Marsh starred with explosive half-centuries before Lucknow Super Giants bowlers held their nerves to help the side survive a late Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) charge to register a thrilling nine-run victory in a rain-curtailed 19-overs-a-side IPL clash on Thursday at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Asked to bat first, LSG piled up a daunting 209/3, riding on a blazing century from Marsh and some fine knocks by Pant and Nicholas Pooran, before restricting RCB to 203/6 despite a valiant counterattack from Rajat Patidar, Tim David, and Romario Shepherd. The win brought smiles back to the LSG camp after a difficult run, with their bowlers holding nerve in the death overs to defend the revised DLS target of 213. RCBs chase suffered an early jolt when Mohammed Shami struck in the opening over to dismiss Jacob Bethell, while Prince Yadav produced a peach to clean up Virat Kohli for a two-ball duck as the visitors slipped to 9/2. Devdutt Padikkal and skipper Rajat Patidar steadied the innings with a brisk partnership. Padikkal mixed elegance with aggression in his 34 off 25 balls, while Patidar launched a calculated assault, especially against spin, to keep RCB in the hunt. Patidar took on Digvesh Singh Rathi and Mayank Yadav with a flurry of boundaries and towering sixes, bringing up a 29-ball fifty in style. The duo added momentum through the middle overs as RCB crossed the 100-run mark in the 10th over. However, LSG hit back strongly through Prince Yadav and Shahbaz Ahmed. Prince removed Padikkal with a return catch before dismissing Jitesh Sharma cheaply in the same over. Shahbaz then delivered the key breakthrough by having Patidar caught at long-off for a scintillating 61 off 31 balls, an innings studded with three fours and six sixes. With the equation mounting, Tim David launched a brutal counterattack. The Australian hammered Mayank Yadav for consecutive sixes, then followed up with another towering hit off Shahbaz to drag RCB back into contention. His 40 off just 17 balls briefly tilted the momentum before Shahbaz trapped him with a sharp catch at backward point. Romario Shepherd and Krunal Pandya kept RCB alive till the final over, smashing boundaries and sixes against Shami and Prince Yadav. But needing 28 off the last over, Digvesh Singh Rathi held his nerve despite conceding a boundary and a wide, as LSG closed out a tense nine-run victory. Earlier, LSG produced one of their best batting displays of the season after being put in to bat. Mitchell Marsh gave them early impetus with an aggressive knock, while Pant rediscovered his touch with a commanding innings at the top. The duo dominated the Power-play and maintained the scoring rate through the middle overs, taking apart both pace and spin with fearless strokeplay. Marshs clean hitting laid the platform before Pant accelerated brilliantly, finding boundaries at will and rotating strike effectively. Nicholas Pooran then provided the finishing flourish with a quick cameo, ensuring LSG crossed the 200-run mark in the shortened contest. RCBs bowlers struggled for control on a batting-friendly surface, with only sporadic breakthroughs interrupting LSGs relentless charge. Though Patidar and David threatened to pull off a remarkable chase, LSGs bowlers produced timely breakthroughs, and Digvesh Rathi defended 20 in the final over to secure an important victory for the home team.

IPL 2026: Marshs Ton Powers LSG To 209-3 In Rain-hit Clash With RCB

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Mitchell Marsh produced a breathtaking century while Rishabh Pant added late fireworks as hosts Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) piled up a commanding 209/3 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in a rain-curtailed Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 contest at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Thursday. With persistent rain interruptions reducing the match to 19 overs per side, Marsh stood tall with a sensational 111 off just 56 deliveries, hammering nine fours and nine sixes in one of the finest innings of the season. Pant then provided the finishing flourish with an unbeaten 32 off 10 balls as LSG crossed the 200-run mark in style. Put into bat after Rajat Patidar opted to bowl, LSG made a cautious start before Marsh exploded into life against Josh Hazlewood in the second over. The Australian all-rounder launched the RCB pacer for two towering sixes and never allowed the momentum to slip despite multiple rain stoppages. Bhuvneshwar Kumar initially found movement with the new ball, but Marsh counterattacked fiercely, taking on both pace and spin. Krunal Pandyas introduction did little to slow him down as the opener smashed the left-arm spinner for a four and a monstrous six in the fourth over. Rain briefly halted proceedings twice during the Power-play, but Marsh resumed with even greater intensity after every interruption. Rasikh Salam Dar bore the brunt of the assault as Marsh hammered him for two sixes and a boundary in the fifth over, racing to a 20-ball half-century, his fastest in IPL history. LSG finished the Power-play at 68 without loss, their highest opening stand of the season, with Marsh accounting for the bulk of the scoring. Arshin Kulkarni struggled for fluency at the other end but played second fiddle effectively during their 98-run opening partnership. Marsh continued his domination after the restart, punishing Suyash Sharma and Romario Shepherd with clean hitting all around the ground. The landmark finally arrived in the 14th over when he carved Shepherd through point for four to bring up a stunning 49-ball century, the fastest hundred by an LSG batter in IPL history. Krunal finally broke the opening stand by dismissing Kulkarni for 17, while Nicholas Pooran added useful momentum with a brisk 38 off 23 balls that included four boundaries and a six. Hazlewood eventually ended Marshs spectacular knock in the 17th over when Jacob Bethell completed a fine catch at deep point. But Pant ensured there was no slowdown at the death. The LSG skipper smashed Hazlewood for two fours and a six in a costly over before taking apart Rasikh in the final over with three successive boundaries, including an audacious six over backward point off the final ball. Despite disciplined spells in patches from Bhuvneshwar (0-34) and Krunal (1-31), RCBs bowlers struggled to contain Marshs relentless assault as LSG posted a formidable total in the rain-affected encounter. RCB will receive a revised target to chase under the DLS method, which is likely to be 213.
