The defending champions suffered their first home defeat of the season when they went down to the Delhi Capitals on April 18. Despite that setback, they have been among the standout sides in IPL 2026 and will aim to bounce back strongly in their final home fixture at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Following this game, they are scheduled to play their remaining two league-stage home matches at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur. Meanwhile, the Gujarat Titans head into the contest after a heavy 99-run defeat against the Mumbai Indians at the Narendra Modi Stadium on April 20. That loss ended their three-match winning run, and they will be keen to regroup quickly. However, overcoming one of the IPLs most challenging venues presents a significant test. The head-to-head record between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans has been evenly contested over the years. In six matches played so far, both teams have won three games each, with no ties or no results recorded. Their first-ever meeting came on April 30, 2022, which was won by the Gujarat Titans, and they also emerged victorious in the most recent encounter on April 2, 2025.

Having served as a net bowler for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in IPL 2021, Madhwal, a right-arm fast bowler, made his debut for the Mumbai Indians in 2023, wherein he took a five-wicket haul with impressive figures of 5/5 in his debut season for MI in the crucial IPL 2023 Eliminator against the Lucknow Super Giants.

Nuwan Thushara Withdraws IPL NOC Case Against SLC
Sri Lanka Cricket: Sri Lanka fast bowler Nuwan Thushara has withdrawn his legal challenge against Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) over the non-issuance of a No Objection Certificate (NOC) required to participate in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. The matter, which was being heard before the Colombo District Court, was taken up on Wednesday, where Thusharas counsel, G. G. Arulpragasam, informed the court that the pacer no longer wished to pursue the case. With a significant portion of the IPL season already completed, the petitioner sought permission to withdraw the application. The court subsequently allowed the request and dismissed the petition, according to Sri Lanka Mirror reports. Thushara had earlier approached the court seeking an interim directive to compel SLC to grant him the mandatory clearance after the board declined to issue the NOC for IPL 2026. The right-arm seamer had secured a contract with Royal Challengers Bengaluru and was set to feature in the tournament for a third consecutive season, having previously participated with the boards approval. The dispute stemmed from SLCs decision to withhold the NOC on fitness grounds, with the board reportedly citing the pacers inability to meet required benchmarks. However, Thushara had contested this stance in his petition, arguing that his physical condition remained consistent with that of previous seasons, when he was granted clearance to play in overseas leagues. He also pointed out that his central contract with the board was due to expire on March 31, 2026, and that he had already conveyed his decision not to renew it. According to the petition, he was no longer in the national teams immediate plans, which made the NOC's refusal to grant it appear inconsistent.

IPL 2026: Dominance Is Our Mindset, But Adaptability Is Our Strength, Says RCB Skipper Patidar
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar has attributed his sides strong start to IPL 2026 to a balance between aggressive intent and situational adaptability, as the defending champions continue to build momentum with eight points from six matches. Speaking on the RCB Podcast, Patidar emphasised that while the teams core philosophy revolves around dominance, flexibility remains key to their success as a batting unit. Dominance is our mindset, but we dont want to be rigid. We want to assess the situation and adapt. That flexibility is very important for us as a batting unit, he said on the RCB Podcast. Patidar himself has led from the front with the bat, scoring 230 runs at an exceptional strike rate, and credited a shift in mindset as the driving force behind his evolution as a batter. The biggest change in my batting has come from the mind. How I see the game, how I see myself in a situation, and how I want to dominate, everything started from there. I worked on a few trigger movements and discussed it with DK. Once I was convinced, I didnt want to hold back in matches. That clarity helped me execute better, he said. Highlighting RCBs fearless batting template, Patidar underlined that instinct often takes precedence over rigid planning, particularly when it comes to taking on bowlers and maintaining pressure. There is no fixed plan that I will play a certain way. If I feel I can dominate a bowler, I go for it. It is more instinct than planning. If someone feels they can dominate a bowler, they take responsibility. Even if it means not rotating strike. The idea is to keep the bowler under pressure, he stated. On leadership, Patidar described himself as someone who prioritises the mental space of his bowlers, especially in the high-pressure T20 format, while maintaining a calm demeanour on the field, as he said, I see myself as a bowling captain. In T20 cricket, bowlers are always under pressure, so I try to keep them in a good space and not show too many reactions. I am not very expressive by nature. I try to stay calm and think clearly in every situation. I dont want to change who I am as a person. The RCB skipper also spoke about the influence of senior players in shaping his outlook, particularly the importance of staying present and focused on controllable factors. He said, I have learnt a lot by observing players like Virat bhai. The biggest thing is to stay in the present and focus only on what is in your control. I dont think about selection or what people are saying. I focus on what I can do in the present. That gives me clarity and calmness. Reflecting on RCBs title-winning campaign last season, Patidar admitted the significance of the achievement truly resonated only after witnessing the fans reactions, while also acknowledging the pressure moments that came with it. When we won, it felt special, but when I saw the fans and their reactions, I realised something big had happened. That is when it really sank in. In the last over, even though we knew we were close, there was still a thought that something could go wrong. That pressure is natural in such moments, Patidar noted. Reflecting on RCBs title-winning campaign last season, Patidar admitted the significance of the achievement truly resonated only after witnessing the fans reactions, while also acknowledging the pressure moments that came with it. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Looking ahead, Patidar reiterated that the team remains grounded despite their success, focusing on processes rather than past achievements. As champions, every team will come harder at us. But for us, it is about staying in the present, focusing on our process, and controlling what we can, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

Sakib Hussain: IPL Quick Whose Mum Sold Her Jewellery To Fund Cricket Dream
Sakib Hussain's father is a labourer from India's poorest state and his mother sold her jewellery to buy him bowling boots. Their sacrifices -- and his tears -- paid off after the 21-year-old fast bowler made an instant impact in the Indian Premier League. He claimed 4-24 for Sunrisers Hyderabad against Rajasthan Royals on his debut this month. After three matches, Hussain averages a miserly 14.16 per wicket and has a superb economy rate of 7.08 -- up with the best in the T20 tournament that is a breeding ground for young Indian talent. Hussain started out playing cricket with a tennis ball in the lanes and patchy fields of the small northern town of Gopalganj in Bihar. Tales of Hussain's mother having to part with her jewellery to fund her son's cricketing footwear have gone viral in India. His father owned a small farm but a knee issue forced him to work as a labourer and earn 200-300 rupees ($2-$3) a day to run the house. It must have been a truly emotional moment for the family, former India pace bowler Irfan Pathan said after Hussain's debut, where his wickets included prolific opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal in his first over. He wanted to join the army but getting an opportunity at this level and stage and performing is a job well done. His slower (ball) is dangerous. Hussain was nicknamed the Rabada of Gopalganj locally as his bowling action, raw pace and accuracy began to earn comparisons with South Africa's renowned quick bowler Kagiso Rabada. Hussain's father knew he also had to support his son's cricket ambitions. I was a single earner when this trouble (knee pain) came, so I had to think about providing the basic needs like food for the family, his father was quoted as saying by Indian media. At the same time, people told me that my boy bowls very fast, so I told Sakib not to worry about expenses and focus on cricket. A local coach took Hussain under his wing and soon after he was playing for his state team. Hussain gained selection to the National Cricket Academy camp in Bengaluru, where he caught the attention of IPL teams while playing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy, a national T20 competition. Hussain was part of the title-winning Kolkata Knight Riders IPL squad in 2024 but did not get a game in a pace attack led by Mitchell Starc. The 2016 winners Hyderabad snapped him at his base price of $32,000 in the December auction for this season. I had tears in my eyes when Hyderabad picked me in the auction, said Hussain. This tells you that if you have self-belief then you can achieve anything. My fight is with myself. His proud mother recalled the struggles of his cricketing journey. Also Read: Live Cricket Score He came one day and started crying and said, 'Mummy, I need spikes (boots). How will I play?'

IPL 2026: Spencer Johnson Will Be In Our Starting XI Tomorrow, Says CSK Bowling Coach
Chennai Super Kings: Spencer Johnson is poised to take centre stage for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their critical bottom-of-the-table match against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. Bowling coach Eric Simmons hinted at Johnson's potential inclusion due to Khaleel Ahmed's injury. Khaleel had to leave the field before finishing his overs in CSKs last game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). This situation led the team to consider Johnson as a replacement in their bowling lineup. His addition comes at a time when injuries have heavily impacted Chennais season. Khaleel Ahmed & Anshul Kamboj have been really good for us. Spencer Johnson (Khaleel's replacement) will be in our starting XI tomorrow night, Simmons said on the eve of the match. CSK has faced challenges all season, starting with three straight losses to Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They briefly revived their season with wins over Delhi Capitals and KKR, but then experienced another setback with a 10-run loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad. Mumbais performance has also been shaky. After starting their season with a win against KKR, they lost to DC, RR, RCB, and PBKS before getting back on track with a second win against the Gujarat Titans. Apart from Johnson, former skipper Dhoni, 44, has already started light training, including his first wicketkeeping session of IPL 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday, after missing CSKs first six matches. Mumbais performance has also been shaky. After starting their season with a win against KKR, they lost to DC, RR, RCB, and PBKS before getting back on track with a second win against the Gujarat Titans.
