IPL 2026: Salt, Patidar Fifties, Fine Bowling Power RCB To 18-run Win Over MI (Ld)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Brilliant, 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. Sherfane Rutherford hammered an unbeaten 71 off 31 balls, smashing nine sixes towards the fag end of the match after Hardik Pandya (40) and Ryan Rickelton (37) raised the hopes a bit at the start. Mumbai Indians eventually finished with 222/5 in 20 overs, falling short by 18 runs to slump to their third defeat in a row. RCB won their third game in four matches, moving up to six points and the third spot in the points table, behind Rajasthan Royals (8) and Punjab Kings (7). It was a strange match, as it dragged on and on, with players walking off with injuries after seeking lengthy breaks for treatment on the ground, and both teams going for review for no-balls and wides, thus prolonging the proceedings, which became tedious towards the end. The Mumbai Indians started their chase of 241 on a bright note with Ryan Rickelton, who started with a six off Jacob Duffy in the opening over, and Rohit Sharma raising 50 runs for the team in the fifth over. The five-time champions reached 62 for no loss in the six overs of Power-play, but the dugout was not that happy as former captain Rohit Sharma had to retire hurt because of a hamstring injury, for which he received treatment on the ground. He was batting on 19 in the sixth over when he decided to return to the dugout and receive more treatment. Rickelton struck Duffy for four and six and swung the seasoned Bhuvneshwar Kumar for a six over the long-leg fence. He was the first to go when he took a wild swing at a Suyash Sharma googly, only to top-edge it to Bhuvneshwar at short third. Rickelton was out for 37 off 22 balls, hitting three fours and as many sixes. Tilak Varma (1) survived only three balls before he attempted a sweep off Suyash Sharma, only to spoon a simple catch to Duffy. The double strike by the leg-spinner virtually derailed the Mumbai Indians' chase. Suryakumar Yadav, who started with a four off Impact player Rasikh Salam on the second ball he faced, struck Krunal Pandya for a four and took back-to-back boundaries off Suyash Sharma in the 10th over as Mumbai reached 99/2 at the halfway stage, lagging a bit behind RCB, who were 115 for no loss at the same stage. But SKY could not produce a match-defining long innings as he scored 33 off 22 balls before swiping it straight down to Rasikh Salam at backward square leg. Hardik Pandya hammered a six off the first ball from Suyash Sharma and a four a few balls later. A couple of boundaries off Bhuvneshwar Kumar's 11th over, followed by a couple of fours off Suyash, kept Mumbai's hopes alive. But the Mumbai Indians' chase lacked confidence after Rohit walked off injured, and Hardik's heroics too did not last long as he miscued Duffy to Romario Shepherd 41 as MI slumped to 145/4 in the 15th over, leaving Mumbai needing 93 from the last five overs. Rutherford then carried on the fight, reaching his half-century in 26 balls as he remained unbeaten on 71 off 36 balls, hitting one four and nine mighty sixes. Earlier, asked to bat first, Phil Salt came out with guns blazing as he and Virat Kohli raised 100 runs for the opening wicket stand. They scored 13 runs off Trent Boult's opening over, with Kohli blasting him for a six and Salt for a four. After steady scores off Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Boult, Phil Salt welcomed Mitchell Santner by hammering a hat-trick of sixes (first a heave over deep square leg, the next clubbed over wide long-on, and third smashed over deep square leg), followed by a four off his first four deliveries of the match, blasting 22 runs from the over. While Kohli scored at a sedate pace, Salt continued to operate in the third gear, hitting Mayank Markande for a hat-trick of boundaries as he raced to his fifty in 25 balls. A six to celebrate his fifty off Markande in the eighth over meant Salt motored to 61 off just 27 balls. He eventually fell to Shardul Thakur in the 11th over, hitting an easy catch straight to Pandya at extra cover. Salt scored 78 off 36 balls, blasting half a dozen fours and sixes on the way. But there was no respite for the Mumbai Indians as Rajat Patidar took over the role of power-hitter. Starting with a four off Thakur, Patidar smashed a hat-trick of sixes off Markande in the 12th over. He smashed a six and a couple of fours off Thakur as they scored 23 runs off the 13th over and struck a four and six off Boult in the 1th over as he threatened to smash the record for the fastest fifty in IPL history, reaching 44 off 11 balls. Meanwhile, Kohli struggled to a sluggish fifty off 37 balls before Patidar blazed to his half-century from 16 balls, with a streaky four off Santner. Both Kohli and Patidar fell soon after completing their fifties, as the Mumbai Indians applied the brakes as the RCB fell from 185/1 to 194/3 within eight balls. Kohli ended his misery by holing out to Suryakumar Yadav at long-on off Pandya for 50 (38 balls, 5x4, 1x6) while Patidar fell to Santner, attempting to shank him over long-on but miscuing it to Tilak Varma. Patidar hammered four boundaries and five maximums in his 20-ball 53. Things went a bit quiet after that, though Tim David blasted Pandya for a six off a free hit and helped them score fifty runs in the last five overs. David remained unbeaten on 34 off 16 balls, reached with a six off the last ball bowled by Boult, as RCB, who were threatening to go beyond 250 after reaching 115/0 at the halfway mark and 201/3 in 17. Kohli ended his misery by holing out to Suryakumar Yadav at long-on off Pandya for 50 (38 balls, 5x4, 1x6) while Patidar fell to Santner, attempting to shank him over long-on but miscuing it to Tilak Varma.

'Integrity Of The Sport Is Crucial': Lalit Modi On RR Manager Using Phone Controversy
Indian Premier League: Founder of Indian Premier League (IPL) Lalit Modi stressed that the integrity of the game must remain non-negotiable amid the recent controversy after Rajastan Royals manager Romi Bhinder spotted using a mobile phone in the dugout during the sides IPL 2026 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Guwahati. Modi warned that the IPL has drifted from its originally strict anti-corruption framework and calling for a return to tighter control, stronger enforcement, and system-driven credibility. Integrity of the Sport is crucial : From the very beginning, the IPL was built on one non-negotiable principleintegrity of the game. In 2008, we didnt just create a league, we created a controlled environment. Anti-corruption protocols, restricted access, monitored communication, and tight operational discipline around players, umpires, and match officials were all embedded into the system from day one. The idea was simple: eliminate opportunity, not just punish misconduct, Lakit Modi posted on X. 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 has since gone 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. Saikia confirmed to IANS on Sunday that the BCCI Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) is currently verifying the details of the incident and has begun its probing exercise. Over time, that sharpness has diluted. The structures still exist on paperthe Anti-Corruption Unit, the codes, the protocolsbut the intensity of enforcement, the clarity of control, and the discipline of execution are not what they once were. What was once a tightly run system has gradually become more fragmented and reactive. The events of 2013 were a wake-up call for everyone. Reforms followed. Governance evolved. But somewhere along the way, the balance shifted from control to complianceand those are not the same thing. The best global sporting ecosystems operate on one principle: integrity is designed into the system, not managed after the fact, he added.

IPL 2026: Not Enough Runs, We Didnt Grab Opportunities Says Pant After LSG Fall Short Against GT
Lucknow Super Giants: Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant admitted that his side fell short with the bat and failed to capitalise on the opportunities presented in the game after their defeat to the Gujarat Titans here at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday, conceding that the total on the board was below par on a surface that demanded more application. Definitely not enough runs. There's nothing from the fact that they bowled well, Pant said after the loss, acknowledging the role played by Gujarats disciplined bowling attack in keeping LSG in check. Reflecting on the nature of the pitch, Pant stressed that a higher total would have made a significant difference. I think in a wicket like this, a score like 170 to 180 is a really good score. But, you know, the wicket kept on falling and they put enough pressure on us to get those wickets going, he added, pointing to the regular loss of wickets that prevented his side from building momentum. Despite the shortfall, Pant believed there were still moments where the game could have tilted in LSGs favour. On a wicket like this, like I said, 170 to 180 is a good score. But at the same time, you know, you still have opportunities. I wouldn't say I'm a hard guy. So there were opportunities in the game. We just couldn't grab it enough, he noted, highlighting missed chances across phases. The LSG captain also backed his batting unit, urging patience as the tournament progresses. See, definitely it's a great lineup. But the tournament has just started here, you know. We're not putting pressure on players because especially the senior guys, they know what to do, Pant said.

As per the PMOA regulations, certain individuals like the team manager are allowed to carry phones and Romi Bhinder, as the manager of Rajasthan Royals, can carry it. But we need to thoroughly examine the phone was taken to which area and whether due permission was sought. By doing that, whether he has violated any protocol or regulations under our existing IPL rules and regulations is being verified and as I am speaking, we have already started the process. The Anti-Corruption Unit has begun the exercise to see whether he took the mobile in the designated area or beyond that. After seeing the various pieces of evidence and following the due process, they will give a report based on it, said Saikia. As per the tournament rules, two BCCI Anti-Corruption Managers, appointed by the Head of the BCCI Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU), are responsible for the management of the PMOA. Their responsibility is to ensure that proper arrangements are in place and that security personnel are fully briefed. With RR set to face Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday, it remains to be seen if Bhinder is spotted in the PMOA area or not. Bhinder has been an integral member of RRs backroom staff since 2008 and also serves as Sooryavanshi's local guardian in the IPL. The phone is only to be used in case of emergency. On seeing that screengrab, it looks like he must have been watching something or using google or maybe checking any social media platform like WhatsApp or Instagram.

Chennai Super Kings: Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel motivated the players in the dressing room after they suffered a 23-run loss against five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

I want to say as a team, yes, we want to win. That time we were also together, we lost to them. So we lost together. As a team, I think this one or two games doesn't define us. And it's okay, we lost the game. But for me, the positive point was that we are playing good cricket, Axar said in a dressing room video released by Delhi Capitals on X. Axar also urged the players to maintain unity in the team and trust each other to do the job. Things that doesn't come our way, when that kicks, this team looks scary.

IPL 2026: 'CSK Were Tired Of Losing Three Games In A Row', Says Bowling Consultant Simons
Chennai Super Kings: Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were fuelled by a desperation to snap a three-game losing streak and were desperate to win their IPL 2026 match against Delhi Capitals, according to the sides bowling consultant Eric Simons. At the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Sanju Samsons unbeaten 115 and Jamie Overtons 4-18 helped CSK beat DC by 23 runs and get their first win of the ongoing competition. The victory also meant CSK got their first win in Chepauk after losing six successive games. I mean, its always been about this tournament; you need to get on a roll, and you need to get the positivity going. But theres a lot of positivity around the camp, obviously, after a win like this, but even leading into it, the practices and attitudes have been good. Here, the self-belief was very good; was it lagging behind the previous games? No, I dont think so there was a lack of self-belief. Its funny, often fielding is the mood of a team, and Sarfaraz takes the catch like this, it just lifts everybody, so that happens. Id say the boys really were desperate to win this one. I think we were tired of losing two-three games in a row, so there was a certain attitude about the guys rather than anything else, but the self-belief has always been there, said Simons in the post-match press conference. Speaking about Samsons knock, Simons equated his calmness with that of the legendary MS Dhoni. I've been privileged to spend many years being involved with MS Dhoni. He's one of the calmest cricketers I've ever come across, and Sanju Samson's not far behind that. He just understands the game from that perspective. I've seen no panic. There was never any doubt that this was coming. You've just got to keep trusting and believing in your quality, and he certainly has that in abundance, he added. CSK entered Saturdays fixture facing significant scrutiny over their ability to rebound from a heavy 43-run defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru last Sunday. Simons insisted CSKs internal morale remained intact, dismissing suggestions of a dip in dressing room confidence. I think it is a habit, you get used to it - getting into tough situations and getting yourself out. The mood in the changing room tonight is obviously really good, but it never really dropped; I mean, it was always a case of, I really mean it, I think people looked at the RCB game and thought we were a long way behind. We didnt think we were a long way behind, the numbers probably, we could have easily found 30 runs with your bowl, then you chase at 220 and you get to 210 having lost an early wicket, so we didnt feel we were a long way behind, so theres a lot of positivity anyway, he added.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: IPL chairman Arun Dhumal has heaped praise on 15-year-old prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, saying that the teenager has the potential to become Indias youngest-ever international debutant. However, he clarified that he is not advocating for an immediate call-up, even as he termed the youngster a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for selectors. Sooryavanshi, who made headlines by becoming the youngest player ever signed in an IPL auction last year, was once again at his explosive best, racing to a 15-ball fifty before finishing with a breathtaking 78 off just 26 deliveries against defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati on Friday. Dhumal noted that while the senior national team is currently spoiled for choice for the opening slot, considering the talents like Abhishek Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Sanju Samson, the 15-year-old batter represents a unique case. I know there isnt really a slot available in the opening position right now, considering the kind of talent we have players like Abhishek, Jaiswal, and Sanju are all performing very well. But at just 15 years of age, I personally feel he (Vaibhav Sooryavanshi) has the potential to become the youngest debutant for India. Im not pushing for his inclusion, but this could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the selectors to consider picking such a young talent, Dhumal told IANS.

IPL 2026: RCB Have The Form, But MI Are Ahead In Man-to-man Comparison, Says Pathan
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India left-arm pacer Irfan Pathan believes that while defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) carry momentum into their high-stakes IPL 2026 clash with Mumbai Indians (MI), the latter holds a marginal edge in terms of individual personnel. Both sides are respectively coming off a mauling at the hands of the Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati. RCB are travelling now. When they played their first two games at home, they won comfortably, but the moment they went on the road, they lost in Guwahati against Rajasthan Royals. So, there will be a few questions in the camp. I feel the game might be decided by which team bowls better in the end overs, and the toss will be an important factor too. RCB have the form, but in a man-to-man comparison, I feel Mumbai are slightly ahead, said Pathan on JioHotstar, as the competition begins its 'Rivalry Week'. Reflecting on Saturday's clash between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), which the former won by six wickets, Pathan highlighted Shashank Singhs unexpected bowling spell as the decisive factor that prevented the latter from posting a massive total. It was a game-changing moment. If not for those two wickets, which Shashank got both in the same over, Sunrisers would have made 250 easily. That was the kind of start Abhishek and Travis Head gave them; they lost their first wicket at 120, he observed.

MI vs RCB Match 20 , Cricket Tips :Mumbai Indians have found it hard in the last couple of games, and their strong batting unit hasn't performed as expected. They need a good performance to bounce back, because their next challenge will be even bigger. MI are scheduled to face the defending champion, Royal Challengers Bengaluru. This contest will be held at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai at 7:30 PM IST. Unlike MI, RCB have started the tournament with two wins. But they suffered an unexpected defeat against RR in the previous game. The top-order batting and bowling were an issue. Both teams suffered similar problems and will need to be at their best for this challenge.

Fans can also catch the live stream on the Jio Hotstar streaming platform. MI vs RCB Head-to-Head in IPL Total Matches : 34 MI : 19 RCB : 15 No - Result : 00 MI vs RCB: Ground Pitch Report The surface at Wankhede Stadium is very flat, and it is brilliant for batting. Shorter boundaries, consistent bounce, and a fast outfield make this wicket a paradise for the batters. Scoring or chasing 220+ is also pretty normal here. There are chances of dew in the second innings, which is why bowling first can be an edge. MI vs RCB Possible XIs MI : Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Naman Dhir, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, AM Ghazanfar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah RCB : Virat Kohli, Philip Salt, Rajat Patidar (c), Devdutt Padikkal, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Krunal Pandya, Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Abhinandan Singh, Josh Hazlewood MI vs RCB: Player to Watch Out For Probable Best Batter Virat Kohli is the most consistent IPL batter of all time, and he is still performing very well with the bat. For MI, Rohit Sharma is someone who is playing freely and gets success playing in this template. Probable Best Bowler Josh Hazlewood is back, and he can be the best RCB defensive bowler at this wicket for RCB. For MI, Jasprit Bumrah has been the go-to bowler and will have a key role in this game. Today Match Prediction : Both teams are very similar in both aspects. But the factor of the experienced bowling unit of MI with Jasprit Bumrah can give them an edge. Hence, we predict Mumbai Indians to win this game.
