IPL 2026: Tim David, Hardik Pandya Fined For Code Of Conduct Breach
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Tim David and Hardik Pandya have been punished for separate violations of the IPL Code of Conduct after Match 20 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. David, playing for RCB, was fined 25 percent of his match fee and received one demerit point for a Level 1 offence. This was for breaching Article 2.4, which deals with ignoring an umpires instruction during a match. The first incident occurred in the 18th over of RCBs innings when the umpires decided to change the ball. David insisted on inspecting it and refused to return it despite several requests. A similar situation happened again in the final over, where he again did not hand the ball back to the officials, showing repeated non-compliance. The batter admitted to the offence and accepted the penalty given by the match referee. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya was fined Rs12 lakh for having a slow over-rate during the same match. Since it was MIs first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL Code of Conduct, the appropriate penalty was applied. Brilliant bowling, blazing half-centuries by Phil Salt (78) and Rajat Patidar (53), followed by some fine restrictive bowling, helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) hand five-time champions Mumbai Indians an 18-run defeat in Match 20 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. Salt and Patidar put up a sensational display of power-hitting as they rained sixes on their way to half-centuries, and with Virat Kohli contributing a sedate 50, RCB posted a challenging 240/4 in their 20 overs. Mumbai Indians' ambitious chase of a record-high target at Wankhede fizzled out after former skipper Rohit Sharma suffered a hamstring injury and had to retire hurt for 19 off 13 balls.

Rohit Sharma had to leave the field early during Mumbai Indians' chase of 241 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a high-voltage IPL 2026 match
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh offered a detailed assessment of Virat Kohlis innings in Royal Challengers Bengalurus 18-run win over Mumbai Indians, opining that the veteran had a slightly slow strike rate while scoring his fifty, but also dubbed his role in the game crucial'. In a high-scoring encounter at the Wankhede Stadium, RCB posted a formidable 240/4, with Kohli contributing a half-century alongside aggressive knocks from Phil Salt and Rajat Patidar. While Kohli reached his fifty, Harbhajan noted that the tempo of his innings was measured rather than explosive. Virat Kohlis half-century came at a slightly slower pace. You could see he wasnt fully satisfied, especially with the way Phil Salt was scoring at the other end. But his role was crucial. He ensured there were no early wickets and provided stability at the top. While players like Rajat Patidar and Salt played more aggressively, Kohli anchored the innings and allowed them to play their natural game. Against someone like Jasprit Bumrah, he was very cautious and played him intelligently, but he made sure to capitalise on the other bowlers whenever there was an opportunity, he told JioStar. Kohlis strategy provided RCB with a solid foundation, enabling the middle order to accelerate and reach a total over 240, a target that ultimately secured victory. Harbhajan also pointed out Krunal Pandyas bowling as crucial in limiting Mumbais chase, especially noting his control and strategic thinking during the middle overs.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has raised concerns over the Mumbai Indians overall performance in their 18-run defeat to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, pointing out that the problems began well before the run chase, when the bowlers conceded 240 runs. Chasing a daunting 241 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai fell short despite a late surge, finishing at 222/5. However, Pathan stressed that conceding such a massive total had already put the side on the back foot. There are concerns with the batting, no doubt, but the bigger issue starts with conceding 240. Having said that, chasing 241 on a pitch like this, you still expect them to get closer. The problem was the lack of a solid start in the Powerplay and losing wickets early, which put pressure on the middle order. In the middle overs, there were phases where they could have gone big but didnt. Hardik Pandya got runs but never looked in full control, Tilak Varma has now had a few quiet innings, and players like Rickelton need to find more options against spin. Those small gaps made the difference, Pathan told JioStar. Mumbais chase was further disrupted after Rohit Sharma had to retire hurt early, while the middle order struggled to maintain the required tempo consistently. Despite contributions from Hardik Pandya and others, the lack of momentum during key phases proved costly. Pathan also reserved high praise for RCB skipper Rajat Patidar, whose explosive innings played a decisive role in setting up the match.

Reflecting on the teams consistent batting performances, skipper Patidar said, Looking at the moment, it feels like we are scoring 200-plus in every match. It gives me a lot of confidence and as a captain, I feel like I have a lot of talent in the team. Patidar, who also recorded the fastest fifty by a captain in the tournaments history with a 17-ball half-century, elaborated on his batting approach: I dont really think too much about how I want to play. I try to react to the ball and stay clear about what I want to do, which shot I want to hit, which bowler I want to target. Even in the dugout, I try to read where the scoring opportunities are, he said. Praising the batting unit for laying a solid foundation, spinner Krunal Pandya said, Every game you have to earn that win. The way everyone is batting, Virat, Salty, Tim, everyone has contributed. Im especially happy for Salty, the way he counter-attacked in the powerplay. That set us up really well, Highlighting the captains impact, he added, The way Rajat has batted in all four innings, the consistency and clarity, its been unbelievable. The captain is leading from the front and I hope he continues. Krunal also credited the support staff for the teams batting success saying, A lot of credit goes to DK, the mastermind as well. He has worked really hard with individuals to get the best out of them. He will be the happiest seeing the way we are batting Assessing the bowling effort under challenging conditions, Patidar said, Even with 200 on the board, there is always pressure with dew and conditions. I thought Bhuvi bhai and Jacob started very well and executed the plan. The RCB skipper identified Rasikh Salams spell as a key turning point. The turning point for me was Rasik. The way he planned, the slower balls, the yorkers, it gave me confidence. After his first over, I felt he could change the game Patidar reserved special praise for Krunal Pandyas bowling. K.P. is the most courageous bowler I have ever seen. He has so many skills. He keeps the batsman in doubt about the next ball. This is his strength. He bowls with a lot of confidence. He is not afraid to do anything. RCB head coach Malolan Rangarajan lauded Rasikhs resilience in his first appearance of the season.

The New Indian Express: A new detail has emerged in the controversy after Rajasthan Royals manager Romi Bhinder spotted using a mobile phone in the dugout during an IPL match, with reports claiming Bhinder was using the phone as a precautionary measure due to medical issues. During the IPL 2026 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Guwahati, the incident captured live by TV cameras at the ACA Stadium showed Bhinder using a device while seated next to teenaged left-handed opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who was looking at the screen. The footage then went viral and raised questions regarding the breach of the leagues strict anti-corruption protocols. According to the IPLs Players and Match Officials Area (PMOA), a team manager may use a phone in the dressing room area but NOT in the dugout. The BCCI has initiated a formal investigation into matter. As per The New Indian Express report, Bhinder was carrying the phone as a precautionary measure because both his lungs had collapsed in the past, and he was on a ventilator for nearly a week before being shifted to the ICU where he spent around three weeks. The report further quoted a source, saying, Romi knows the rules and regulations, but that phone was in his possession due to medical reasons. Besides, possessing a mobile phone and a laptop in the dugout is allowed as per the protocol. The only problem was the usage, but again, he was not making calls or receiving any of them. He was just scrolling his phone. He has time and he will try to explain his point of view to the ACSU officials. We are hopeful that the ACSU officials will keep Romi's medical conditions in mind before arriving at a conclusion. The problem was he had to walk at least 50 steps before climbing around 20 steps to reach the dressing room and do the same to return to the dugout. That must have forced him to check the phone at the dugout itself, it added. The report further quoted a source, saying, Romi knows the rules and regulations, but that phone was in his possession due to medical reasons.

Following Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Following Royal Challengers Bengalurus (RCB) 18-run victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium, all-rounder Krunal Pandya shed light on the tactical execution that helped swing the game decisively in his sides favour. In a match dominated by explosive batting performances earlier, it was RCBs control through the middle overs that proved crucial. Krunal, operating in tandem with young leg-spinner Suyash Sharma, played a key role in slowing Mumbais chase just when it threatened to gain momentum. I just wanted to be one step ahead and keep the batsman guessing and that worked for us. And yes, Suyash bowled really well. Taking those two wickets in (his) first over changed the momentum. And I always believe bowling is about partnerships. And we were able to do that for the team, which was quite satisfying, Krunal said of the overs 7, 8, 9 and 10, which the duo bowled. Mumbai had started strongly in pursuit of a daunting 241, but Suyashs double strike, removing key batters, shifted the balance. Krunal emphasised that the young spinners growth has been a product of consistent behind-the-scenes work. He (Suyash) has been getting better. I'll give a lot of credit to Malolan (Rangarajan), who is our spin-bowling coach. He has been constantly working with Suyash in the off-season as well as during the season. He is always having conversations with him. And credit goes to Suyash that he has been able to adapt to things and he has been able to be consistent as a bowler, which always helps in a game where batters are taking you every ball, he said. The match started as a high-scoring affair, with RCB accumulating 240/4 thanks to quick half-centuries from Phil Salt and Rajat Patidar, while Virat Kohli provided stability with a reliable fifty. However, Krunal highlighted that modern T20 strategies, particularly the Impact Player rule, have considerably increased the challenges faced by bowlers. I have never shied away from trying different and new things. Because if you see, with the impact player rule, previously without an impact player, you had No. 6 allrounder or No. 7 allrounder. Batsmanship was quite different. But now, having eight pure batters and the skill set, you see young boys like Mukul and Vaibhav, so many of them are just coming and hitting from ball one consistently. So again, as a bowler, I always want to be one step ahead with the skill set as well as with the mental battle as well, the spinner stated. Krunal also spoke about his evolving methods, including the occasional use of bouncers, a rarity for finger spinners, as he looks to stay unpredictable in a format dominated by power-hitting. Whether it's me bending my knee and bowling a bouncer, I'm glad that it is coming out well and hope that in this format, there are fingerspinners who will survive and who can take something out of it and do well in this format. Because for fingerspinners, with flat tracks and eight batters, it has become very difficult. I don't pre-plan that I want to bowl a fourth- or a fifth- or a sixth-ball bouncer. Krunal also spoke about his evolving methods, including the occasional use of bouncers, a rarity for finger spinners, as he looks to stay unpredictable in a format dominated by power-hitting.

'The lack-of-wickets narrative': Ashwin drops bold take on Bumrah after MI struggle

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: After a frustrating loss at the Wankhede Stadium, Hardik Pandya chose reflection over reaction, delivering a calm but purposeful message to his Mumbai Indians squad in the dressing room following their 18-run defeat to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Drawing from head coach Mahela Jayawardenes philosophy, Pandya urged his players to confront the setback collectively rather than retreat into isolation. Taking from what MJ (Mahela Jayawardene) said, I think here there are two options we can do. One is, go back in our rooms, go back in our cocoon spaces and try to figure it out. I know it's tough, losing is always tough, but let's learn, let's not disappear. It's always winning and learning, never losing, he said in a video shared by the franchise on X. So, let's do that, that's what something which tonight, after the game, once we go back to the hotel, lets have meal together; we'll figure something out. We'll talk about cricket, we'll talk about something else, but we'll figure it out, Pandya added. The address came after Mumbai slumped to their third consecutive defeat, falling short despite a spirited late surge. The match itself had been defined by RCBs dominant batting display, powered by aggressive half-centuries that set a daunting target. So, let's do that, that's what something which tonight, after the game, once we go back to the hotel, lets have meal together; we'll figure something out. We'll talk about cricket, we'll talk about something else, but we'll figure it out, Pandya added.
