IPL 2026: We Have An Attack That Can Exploit Different Surfaces, Says Andy Flower Ahead Of Crucial Tie Against GT

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on 2022 winner Gujarat Titans in an away fixture of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday. RCB head into the contest on the back of a five-wicket win over GT in Bengaluru earlier this season and a dominant nine-wicket victory against the Delhi Capitals. The defending champions currently sit comfortably on the points table with 12 points from eight games. Ahead of the contest, RCB head coach Andy Flower reflected on the teams mindset heading into a crucial phase of the tournament, stating: Weve moved on from last year and are focused on the new challenges this season brings. The players have been enjoying that journey, and tomorrow should be another great contest, said Flower. Speaking about handling dominant performances and maintaining balance, Flower added: Its important to treat wins and losses with a fair degree of equanimity. You dont want to get too carried away with either. Each game presents a fresh challenge, and thats how we approach it. Highlighting the teams strengths so far, Flower emphasised RCBs effectiveness with the ball in key phases: Weve been very good at taking powerplay wickets and putting opposition under pressure. At the same time, we have strong depth in our batting, which gives the group a lot of confidence. On adapting to conditions at the Narendra Modi Stadium, he said, Were comfortable with whatever conditions are put in front of us. We believe we have an attack that can exploit different surfaces and a batting unit that can thrive in any situation. Elaborating on the teams approach heading into the business end of the tournament, Flower noted, Its important not to get into a mindset of trying to hold on to our position. We want to embrace the unpredictability of the game and attack every match with the right attitude. Touching upon the teams bowling unit, Flower highlighted the variety within the attack, Weve got a good mix, experienced swing bowlers, a world-class fast bowler in Hazlewood, and spinners who bring different skill sets. That variety gives us strong options in different phases of the game. On the mental side of the game and handling pressure, Flower offered a nuanced perspective: Fear is a normal human emotion. Instead of trying to ignore it, we encourage players to recognise it and respond well. Thats a healthier way to deal with pressure situations.

IPL 2026: Rajasthan Royals Captain Parag Faces Scrutiny After Vaping Incident

Yudhvir Singh Charak: Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper Riyan Parag has come under fire after being caught vaping on camera during his sides IPL 2026 match against Punjab Kings in New Chandigarh. Footage of Parag, who hit 29 in Tuesdays game, using a vape device in the dressing room while being around his Yashasvi Jaiswal, Yudhvir Singh Charak, and Kuldeep Sen. Footage of Parag, who hit 29 in Tuesdays game, using a vape device in the dressing room while being around his Yashasvi Jaiswal, Yudhvir Singh Charak, and Kuldeep Sen. At that time, RR were chasing 223 and visuals of Parag using vape went viral on social media, prompting serious concerns about player conduct in the ten-team competition. As per the Indian legislation, vaping or the use of e-cigarettes is illegal under The Prohibition of Electronic Cigarettes Act (PECA) 2019. The Act prohibits the production, sale, purchase, import, export and advertisement of e-cigarettes and vapes in India, and any violations lead to imprisonment and hefty fines. Riyan should be handed a ban for this. If he wants to smoke or vape, he can go and do it in the bathroom or an area away from public viewing. What he did sets a very wrong precedent. Also, this is the second time RR will be facing the music for a non onfield thing after Romis device usage issue, an IPL source told IANS on Wednesday. The incident around Parag comes weeks after Bhinder was fined Rs 1 Lakh and given a stern warning for using a mobile phone in the dugout during clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Guwahati. With the storm brewing around Parag, it leaves the franchise facing a second disciplinary storm unrelated to onfield play. Another IPL official told IANS that awareness of behaviour and actions is of utmost importance from the players in an environment where many broadcast cameras are present and are capturing the smallest of details. When so much cameras are around, you have to be aware that anything can be caught and thats why, its on the players to behave well during matches. Riyan could have been a little more careful, considering hes the team captain and has got a lot of success as an active elite sportsperson at a young age, including playing for India. It's a very big deal for an elite athlete to get caught while doing something like this, said the official. Another IPL official told IANS that awareness of behaviour and actions is of utmost importance from the players in an environment where many broadcast cameras are present and are capturing the smallest of details. Also Read: Live Cricket Score But till now, its unclear what became of those discussions. Having said that, another question to be asked is how did Riyan manage to get a vape inside the dressing room? BCCI will have to tread this very carefully, as the content of those ingredients in vape is still a mystery. Though Nicotine isnt banned, the BCCI still needs to take strict action against Riyan for this incident, said a well-placed source in the tournament. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: 'Lot Of Players Complete Their Quota And Leave, But Bhuvi Is Not Like That,' Says Chawla

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India leg-spinner Piyush Chawla lauded Bhuvneshwar Kumar for his relentless work ethic and commitment, stating that the senior pacers belief in quantity over quality practice played a key role in his match-winning performance for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) against Delhi Capitals (DC) on Monday. Chawla highlighted the ongoing debate around workload management and modern training methods, praising Bhuvneshwar Kumar for his intelligent and disciplined practice routine, which consistently translates into strong performances on the field. People talk about workload management and quality practice. I understand that after playing so many years, you know where to bowl. But still, you have to go out there and bowl the number of balls you want. I am not a big believer in only quality practice because I believe in quantity, and thats what Bhuvi also does. Whenever he goes to the nets, he makes sure he bowls eight to ten overs and gets that rhythm back. Thats what makes him a better bowler, Chawla told ESPNcricinfo. Chawla believes that Bhuvneshwars dedication to put in long hours in training and maintaining intensity across tournaments continues to set him apart from many peers. The good thing about Bhuvi is that he puts in a lot of effort. He makes sure that whatever games he is playing, he is playing with full intensity. I have seen a lot of players who come to domestic cricket, just complete their quota and leave, but he is not like that, he said. Chawla further emphasised that Bhuvneshwars commitment extends beyond international and IPL duties, pointing to his participation in domestic competitions. If he has come for a particular tournament, he stays there for the whole tournament. When he goes to the UP League as well, he plays all the matches. Its not a small tournament, its almost 25 to 30 days.

'There's A Genuine Fear Among Batters': Steyn On Pacers Dominating IPL 2026

Former South African: Former South African bowler Dale Steyn believes the ongoing season IPL season has tilted in favour of fast bowlers, pointing out that batters are facing a genuine fear because of technical changes and execution from the seamers. Observing the impact of premier quicks like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Kagiso Rabada, and Jofra Archer, who are dominating the season with wickets and test-match-length bowling, Steyn said their consistency in hitting the right areas has left batters short of answers. Watching Bhuvi, Hazlewood, throw KG and Archer in there too, theres a genuine fear from batters. Not because theyre scared, but they know exactly where these greats are going to bowl and dont practice enough in that area to have answers, Steyn wrote in a post on X. He explained that the batter's struggle is largely technical, with players unable to adapt mid-tournament. The fear is technical skill. Its too deep into the tournament to change now. Watch these bowlers continue to dominate, he added. Steyn also highlighted the importance of disciplined length, a hallmark of successful fast bowling in the format. Its called a hard length for a reason, he added. Steyn's remarks come at a time when Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fast bowling due to Bhuvneshwar and Hazlewood completely dominated against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday. Hazlewood finished with great figures of 4-12, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar also ended with 3-5, which ensured RCB bowled out DC for 75, the lowest total of this season. The 2025 champions chased down the total in just 6.3 overs while losing a single wicket.

McClenaghan Hails Kohlis Evolution, Says scoring 9000 IPL Runs Against Worlds Best Bowlers Is Not Easy'

Former New Zealand: Former New Zealand pacer Mitchell McClenaghan has lauded Virat Kohlis remarkable consistency while also highlighting the impact of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood following Royal Challengers Bengalurus emphatic nine-wicket win over Delhi Capitals in their recently concluded IPL 2026 match. RCBs thumping victory at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday was set up by a fiery new-ball spell from Bhuvneshwar and Hazlewood, who dismantled Delhis batting line-up to bowl them out for just 75, the lowest total of the season. The chase was then completed with ease, underlining RCBs all-round dominance. Reflecting on Kohlis sustained excellence in the tournament, McClenaghan emphasised the discipline and adaptability that have defined the veteran batters journey over the years. Virat Kohli has been incredibly consistent. Scoring 9000 IPL runs against the worlds best bowlers is no easy task. It's about hunger, discipline, and adapting every year, and thats what brings the best out of him. He has been in the IPL since 2008, and the best part is that he didnt start his career as an opener. He batted in the lower middle order, fought for his place, then moved to number three. Later, he opened with Chris Gayle. That changed his game completely. He will soon reach 10,000 runs, without a doubt. Kohli is the greatest batter the IPL has ever seen, not just for the runs, but for how he has evolved and dominated across different eras, McClenaghan told JioStar. Kohlis unbeaten contribution in the chase ensured RCB wrapped up the contest swiftly, continuing his pivotal role at the top of the order in the ongoing season. McClenaghan also reserved special praise for Bhuvneshwar Kumar, noting that the experienced seamers strength lies not in constant reinvention but in mastering his core skills. Instead of reinventing, he has been doing the same stuff consistently, over and over again, and he is just getting better at it. The time off from international cricket is now helping him structure his time better throughout the year. He's getting enough time to work on fitness and stay fresh. He has enough experience and knows how to deal with pressure situations. It is just about being able to do what you have been doing. That means hitting those areas with the ball which trouble batters the most, and having control over swing, which we are seeing right now. That is why his impact has always been great with the new ball, he said. Bhuvneshwar's incisive spell, alongside Hazlewoods relentless accuracy and bounce, left Delhi reeling in the powerplay, as the duo combined to take six wickets inside the first four overs, effectively deciding the outcome of the match. On Hazlewood, McClenaghan pointed out how the Australian quicks physical attributes and control make him one of the most difficult bowlers to counter in T20 cricket. Josh Hazlewood is the kind of bowler every team wants and RCB are blessed to have him. He beats batters with his variations, and his height gives him a lot of advantage. Being tall, he always gets extra bounce, and the Bangalore pitch helps him ask tough questions. His control is never in doubt. He doesnt bowl loose balls. If you hit him for runs, it has to be a really good shot. You have to go after a decent length ball, not a half-volley. He operates in the perfect area. On Hazlewood, McClenaghan pointed out how the Australian quicks physical attributes and control make him one of the most difficult bowlers to counter in T20 cricket.
