Josh Inglis Links Up With LSG For IPL 2026
Lucknow Super Giants: Lucknow Super Giants have received a timely boost with Australian wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis joining the squad ahead of their crucial IPL 2026 clash against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. The 31-year-old, whose availability had been a topic of discussion since the auction, has now reached India and started training with the team. Inglis had previously told franchises that he would miss part of the season due to personal commitments, such as his wedding in Western Australia on April 18, which caused some uncertainty about his participation. Despite initial doubts, Lucknow signed him for Rs 8.6 crore after his release from Punjab Kings, where he had played for a much lower fee. His delayed arrival raised questions, but now his inclusion is crucial for LSG, who are struggling at the bottom of the standings with only two wins in eight matches. Inglis addition is anticipated to bolster a batting lineup that has struggled with consistency this season, especially among the overseas players. Given the limited contributions from key individuals, the Australians aggressive style of play might provide the boost the team needs. Confirming the news across social media platforms, LSG shared a picture that said Explosives from Down Under. He comes with strong credentials from the last edition, having scored 278 runs in 11 innings with a strike rate over 160. His skill to handle top-quality pace could be crucial, particularly against a Mumbai attack led by Jasprit Bumrah. Inglis has previously performed well against the Indian fast bowler, especially during a key moment last season when he faced Bumrah. Confirming the news across social media platforms, LSG shared a picture that said Explosives from Down Under.

Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital: Delhi Capitals marked their return to winning ways with a deeply emotional tribute, dedicating their seven-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur to two young fans who recently lost their lives in a tragic accident. The franchise had been reeling from the loss of supporters Yagya Bhatia and Abhav Bhatia, cousins who died in a hit-and-run incident on April 27 while heading home after attending Delhis match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Following Fridays win in Jaipur, which snapped a three-match losing streak, head coach Hemang Badani addressed the players in the dressing room, urging them to remember the two fans whose unwavering support had made them familiar faces within the DC community. This win is dedicated to the two lads who unfortunately arent with us anymore, two DC fans, Yagya and Abhav Bhatia. This win is for them. I think you guys have done them proud. They are massive DC fans, theyve been with us for a while. You might have even seen their images on Instagram. This is for them. Well done, boys, very well done. Good stuff, Badani said in a video shared by the franchise across social media. DC skipper Axar Patel also spoke about the incident during the post-match presentation, acknowledging the emotional weight carried by the team and its supporters. I would just like to add that following the tragedy involving our fans after the last match I want to express my deepest condolences for their loss. I would like to dedicate this victory to them; they were two members of our DC family. Thank you all so much, Axar said.

IPL 2026: 'Very Happy With The Way The Boys Played', Says DC Captain Axar After Win Over RR
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel lauded his teams all-round effort after they bounced back in style with a seven-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals, chasing down a daunting 226 in IPL 2026. After three consecutive losses against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad, DC came into the match looking to get back to winning ways and produced a clinical performance to do exactly that. Axar was particularly pleased with how his team executed their plans with both bat and ball. Even after the last match, when I was giving interviews, I was saying the same thing that you have to come every day and keep doing the same things. You can always turn things around. So yes, very happy with the way the boys played today, Axar said. The DC skipper singled out Mitchell Starc for special praise, who was playing his first match of the season after recovering from shoulder and elbow injuries. The Australian left-armer made an immediate impact, dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal in his very first over and returning at a crucial stage to get the big wickets of Ravindra Jadeja and Riyan Parag and finishing with figures of 3 for 40 The way he bowled today, thats why hes a legend of the game. After three months away, coming back and delivering a performance like this on a wicket like this it tells you how big a player he is. Very happy that Starc is back and showing everyone why hes such a great bowler, Axar said. The opening breakthrough by Starc and Jamieson's brilliant yorker that dismissed Sooryavanshi put the Rajasthan Royals on the back foot at the start of a tough chase. They made a strong recovery after captain Riyan Parag's knock of 90 which allowed them to reach a competitive 225. Although Delhi's chase was difficult because of the big target of 225 runs, the foundation of the Delhi innings was established through excellent partnerships between Nissanka (62 off 33) and Player of the Match (KL Rahul) who scored 75 runs off 40 balls forming a partnership of 110 runs with each other. Delhi got further support in the form of other players including Nitish Rana, Tristan Stubbs, and Ashutosh Sharma, who helped to easily wrap up the innings in just 19.1 overs with 7 wickets remaining. Axar credited the teams overall execution for the result. The way they batted and bowled, I think both departments were excellent, and Im very happy. The plan was executed exactly the way we wanted, and because of that, we got the results too, he noted.

'I Enjoyed Padikkals Wicket The Most, It Was Crucial': GT Spinner Rashid After GT's Win
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Gujarat Titans (GT) spinner Rashid Khan said picking key wickets of batters like Devdutt Padikkal at the right time helped his team restrict Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) below 160 runs but dismissal of in-form batter Devdutt Padikkal was crucial in breaking RCBs momentum. RCB were bowled out for 155 in 19.2 overs despite starts from Padikkal (40) and Virat Kohli (28). Gujarat Titans bowlers kept things tight, with Arshad Khan taking three wickets, while Rashid and Jason Holder took two each. I think the one I enjoyed the most was Padikkals wicket. His wicket was very important at that time. He was set, so getting him out then was key, Rashid said in a video released by GT on X. ' When a batter attacks, you should know which ball is most difficult for him to hit and focus on that. When we practice, we try to land the ball where we want. If you bowl in the right areas, it becomes very hard for the batter to attack, he explained. Rashid also said that pressure works both ways in T20 cricket, and the bowlers should acknowledge that and focus on their plan. As much pressure is on the bowler, the same pressure is on the batter. The key is not to put yourself under pressure and just focus on your plan, he added. Rashid also said that pressure works both ways in T20 cricket, and the bowlers should acknowledge that and focus on their plan.

IPL 2026: 'The Milestone I Would Love To Match With Dhoni Is His Five Trophies', Says KL
Arun Jaitley Stadium: Delhi Capitals wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul said surpassing MS Dhoni on the IPLs all-time run-scorers list was special, but insisted that winning five trophies like the legendary CSK captain remains the milestone he still has to achieve. During DCs game against Punjab Kings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, where he smashed an unbeaten 152, Rahul surpassed Dhoni and Suresh Raina to become the fifth highest run-getter in IPL history. I didn't even realise I had gone past Mahi bhai on the IPL's all-time run-scorers list. Honestly, the milestone I would love to match with MS Dhoni is his five IPL trophies that hes won with CSK. When you have a long career, personal achievements do feel special. They tell you that your hard work and sacrifices have paid off. But at the end of the day, cricket is a team sport. You want to win trophies. You want to be part of successful sides. That has always been my goal. Every season, I give my best to win the IPL, no matter which team I play for. That matters the most to me. Personal milestones are good. They reassure me that I am on the right track. But what would truly make me happy is winning as many trophies as MS Dhoni, Rahul said on JioStars Superstars show. The right-hander also spoke about his special connection with his home ground M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, where he has consistently performed against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. There's nothing different I do against RCB. I've thought about it a lot. If there is a mental switch, why can't I use it against every team? I haven't found an answer. Every season, I give my best to win the IPL, no matter which team I play for.

IPL 2026: 'Sighted It, Picked It Up': Holder Breaks Down His 'magnificent' Catch Of Patidar
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Gujarat Titans (GT) player Jason Holder described his effort in the field to dismiss Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar as one of the most magnificent catches, adding that his focus was to reach towards the ball after his all-round performance helped the side register a dominant four-wicket win at Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday. Holders contribution, including three catches and two wickets, played a key role in restricting RCB to 155 in 19.2 overs. I was just trying to get there. I saw it go off the bat pretty early, sighted it, picked it up, and just tried to get there. For me, it was just trying to avoid KG (Kagiso Rabada) because he was coming close to me. But I felt I had enough room, and I just went for it, and it stuck. It is the most magnificent catch, Holder said in a video released by IPL on X. During the first innings when RCB were trying to build a solid platform, in the eighth over, Patidar, who was batting on 19, attempted to play a pull shot, Holder stationed at deep backward square leg charged to his right and took a fine low catch. Rabada too was charging across to take it, but Holder managed to ignore that. RCB players, who thought Holder wasn't in control of the catch and had touched the turf, were having an argument with the umpires. But the umpires reckon otherwise, as replays appeared inconclusive on whether the ball had touched the ground. Despite the concern, the third umpire cleared the catch after a review, and Patidar was adjudged out. Reflecting on his role in the side, Holder emphasised his team-first mindset. My mindset is pretty clear whatever Im asked to do, I just want to come and perform for the team, he said. He also praised the team environment and recent momentum. I just love the energy in the group. The energy is pretty good. Weve been able to get across in the last two important games, which is really good for our confidence, Holder noted.

'Losing Wickets In Clusters Never Helps In T20,' Says Karthik On RCB Loss
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik said losing wickets at regular intervals despite a dominating start from opener Virat Kohli hurt the team's chances as they went down by four wickets to Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium. RCB were bowled out for 155 in 19.2 overs after being put in to bat, a total that Gujarat Titans chased down comfortably in 15.5 overs, finishing at 158/6 with 25 balls to spare. Karthik lauded Virat Kohlis aggressive start but admitted that regular wickets derailed the innings. I thought Virat started wonderfully, vintage Virat. The kind of shots he played, especially in the Rabada over, were outstanding. But we lost wickets in a cluster and kept doing it. Every time we had an opportunity to get ahead or build a partnership, we lost a wicket, and that never helps in a T20 game, Karthik said in a video released by RCB on X. Kohli struck a quick 28 off 13 balls, while Devdutt Padikkal top-scored with 40, but the middle-order collapse ensured RCB could only manage a below-par total. It eventually caught up with us, and we ended up with a below-par score, Karthik added. Despite the defeat, Karthik praised the teams attitude in the field as they attempted to defend the total. What was commendable was the attitude and the way the bowlers came together. Like a champion team would, we gave them jitters through the middle. If a couple of things had gone our way, it could have been different, but Im very proud of the effort, he said. RCB director of cricket Mo Bobat echoed similar sentiments, highlighting the bowling units effort in making the Gujarat Titans work hard for the chase. The pleasing and encouraging thing is obviously the bowlers. They put in a good shift again today. It was good to see Romario find a bit of rhythm, too, Bobat said. Youre not going to win every game, but when you come out second best, youve got to make the opposition really fight for their win, and I think we did that today, he noted. Gujarat Titans chase was powered by captain Shubman Gill, who smashed 43 off just 18 balls, while Jos Buttler (39) and Rahul Tewatia (27 not out) ensured there were no major hiccups. Youre not going to win every game, but when you come out second best, youve got to make the opposition really fight for their win, and I think we did that today, he noted.

IPL 2026: World Class All-rounder Holder Fulfills Both Roles With Bat And Ball, Says Solanki
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Gujarat Titans director of cricket Vikram Solanki described Jason Holder as a world-class allrounder who has justified the franchises faith in him by contributing with both bat and ball. Holder produced a Player of the Match performance in GTs win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday night - picking 2-29 in four overs, claiming three catches and scoring 12 useful runs in the chase, which the 2022 winners completed with four wickets in hand. When we were pursuing Jason at the auction, it was with a mind to him being able to fulfil both roles, the bat and the ball, so he does offer that. His numbers, I think if you take a look over the last calendar year and perhaps a little bit longer than that, his numbers at five and six (in the batting order) have been quite outstanding, and that's just, as I said, has come about because he of course has all of the ability that you'd need. He's physically a strong guy, has great reach and leverage as far as the ball is concerned, so all of the technicalities are sort of covered off. He also is now bringing an added dimension, that sort of sprinkling stardust, if you like, of being a really experienced campaigner and I think that's what's playing out, that's what we're seeing in front of us now, said Solanki at the conclusion of the game. Holder was previously a part of Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad before GT roped him in at last years auction. With GT not getting desired results from Glenn Phillips, Holder came in and has shined for the franchise. He's a world-class allrounder, isn't he? He's sort of proven across the years in international cricket and franchise cricket how measured he is and I think he's only getting better. He spoke about understanding his game and that of course comes with experience. Any player that has played for as long as he has, around the world as he has, led teams as he has - international teams and been part of different teams - starts to get an understanding of what should be done in any given situation and Jason is certainly doing that. He's had to wait his time before he's got an opportunity, but since he's got an opportunity in all of the games he's played, he's made good contributions. In the field, he was brilliant. He's also quite smart in playing exactly the way he needs to given any sort of situation, and that partnership with Rahul Tewatia (30 runs for the sixth wicket against RCB) is exactly an example of that, elaborated Solanki. Any player that has played for as long as he has, around the world as he has, led teams as he has - international teams and been part of different teams - starts to get an understanding of what should be done in any given situation and Jason is certainly doing that.

Santner Sidelined For A Month After Scans Reveal ACL Shoulder Injury
New Zealand Cricket: New Zealand all-rounder and white-ball captain Mitchell Santner is set to be sidelined for at least a month after scans revealed a grade three ACL shoulder injury, New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said on Friday. Santner injured his left shoulder while fielding for his Indian Premier League side Mumbai Indians in their recent match against the Chennai Super Kings. He was spotted in the dressing room with an ice pack around his shoulder during the chase as MI used a concussion substitute for him. Santner first sustained a niggle to his non-bowling shoulder while fielding in the game against Delhi Capitals on April 4 and sat out of the match against Rajasthan Royals on April 7. He featured against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 12 and also played against Gujarat Titans on April 20 but suffered another injury to the same shoulder while fielding against CSK and was thus ruled out of the tournament. The five-time winner MI signed South African left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj as a replacement for Santner, who has played four matches for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026, claiming five wickets for 125 runs. The 34-year-old allrounder returned home to New Zealand this week and saw a specialist this morning who confirmed a rest and rehabilitation period of at least one month, NZC said. The diagnosis means Santner is unavailable for the one-off Test against Ireland and the first Test against England, with his availability for the second and third Tests to be evaluated at a later date. The one-off four day Test against Ireland begins at Stormont in Belfast on May 27, with the three Tests against England to be played at Lords (June 4-8), The Oval (June 17-21) and Trent Bridge (June 25-29), respectively.

Former West Indies: Former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop has given his take on Jason Holder's controversial catch in the dismissal of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar during the IPL clash against Gujarat Titans (GT), saying that there was sufficient evidence to rule it not out and the umpire must have taken a second look before making the final decision. During the first innings when RCB were trying to build a solid platform, in the eighth over, Patidar, who was batting on 19, attempted to play a pull shot to increase the scoring rate. Holder stationed at deep backward square leg charged to his right and took a fine low catch. Rabada too was charging across to take it, but Holder managed to ignore that. RCB players, who thought Holder wasn't in control of the catch and had touched the turf, were having an argument with the umpires. But the umpires reckon otherwise, as replays appeared inconclusive on whether the ball had touched the ground. Despite the concern, the third umpire cleared the catch after a review, and Patidar was adjudged out. When asked for a clear verdict, Bishop made his stance evident, stating that the available visuals did not convincingly support the decision given on the field. First he caught the ball, no problems with that. And then with the sliding of the hand initially, that deserved a second look. And then you talk about control of the ball but also control of the body. So when you're looking to get yourself up having slid along the ground, are they determining that his fingers was under the ball. Because the back of the hand was to the sky, which means the ball was facing the grass. And so there was to me doubt there about ball and ground, because you're not in control of your body until you stop sliding and you stand up if you're going to do that. So out or not out? I think there was sufficient evidence in my mind for that to be (not out), Bishop said on ESPncricinfo. As per the MCC's laws of cricket, a catch is considered fair if the fielder has complete control over the ball and their own movement before it the ball touches the ground. Because the back of the hand was to the sky, which means the ball was facing the grass. And so there was to me doubt there about ball and ground, because you're not in control of your body until you stop sliding and you stand up if you're going to do that. So out or not out? I think there was sufficient evidence in my mind for that to be (not out), Bishop said on ESPncricinfo.
