IPL 2026: 'We Gave Away Too Many Runs,' Says Gill After Gujarat Titans 'heavy Defeat' To MI

Indian Premier League: Skipper Shubman Gill admitted that the Gujarat Titans (GT) conceded too many runs in the middle overs as they slumped to a heavy 99-run defeat against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 30 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday. Honestly, I think we gave away too many runs in the middle overs. On a wicket like that, I think 160-170 was a par score, Gill said after the match. Mumbai Indians had posted a commanding 199/5, riding on a sensational unbeaten 101 off just 45 balls from Tilak Varma, who also equalled the franchise record for the fastest century. Naman Dhir provided solid support with a 45-run knock, while Kagiso Rabada was the pick of the GT bowlers with three wickets. Chasing a big target, the Gujarat Titans never really got going. Jasprit Bumrah struck on the very first ball, while Hardik Pandya removed Jos Buttler early to put MI firmly in control. Despite a brief fightback, GT kept losing wickets at regular intervals. I think there are a lot of lessons for us from this game. A small hiccup, but now weve got a couple of games on the road, so hopefully we will come back on the winning side again, Gill said. Mumbai Indians bowlers dominated the chase, with Ashwani Kumar starring with a superb four-wicket haul, while Mitchell Santner and Allah Ghazanfar chipped in with two wickets each to bundle out GT well short of the target. Reflecting on what could have been done differently, Gill said his bowlers failed to adapt to the conditions. I think the wicket was a little bit on the slower side. I dont think we hit the right areas. The length ball wasnt coming on as well, some balls were coming, some werent, and some were keeping low, he said. I think we could have hit that length in the middle overs a bit more consistently, which we were not able to, he added.

IPL 2026: Still Believe That David Miller Took The Right Call For Not Taking Single Against GT, Says Badani

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Delhi Capitals head coach Hemang Badani has thrown his weight behind David Miller after the batter refused a single in the closing stages of the game against the Gujarat Titans, saying that the veteran left-handed batter took the right call for not taking a single on the penultimate ball despite it ending in a one-run defeat. After being unable to take DC over the line against GT when they needed two runs off two balls earlier this month, Miller completed a redemption of sorts by smashing Romario Shepherd for two sixes and a four in the final over to help DC beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. See, I think first and foremost we need to understand that he is somebody who has been around for a very, very long time. Yes, it is heartbreaking to lose a game like the one we lost against Gujarat. There was enough chatter about it through social media, on the news, on the telly, and even (by) the broadcasters. But the bottom line is that the player takes a call at some time. Sometimes you get the right call, sometimes you don't get the right call. I still believe that he has taken the right call. Contrary to what everyone else thinks, that is an opinion that I respect, and I understand that everyone has an opinion, Badani said in the pre-match press conference, ahead of DC taking on Sunrisers Hyderabad. With 15 runs needed from the last over, Miller got the strike again when 13 runs were required off four balls and achieved it with great gusto, while sharing a match-winning 45-run partnership with Player of the Match Tristan Stubbs. But to come out of that, I think he has shown character. I think the world sees that he is somebody who can finish games. He has done that in the past, and we believe in him. If you go back and see the visuals and the way we backed him even after that one run loss, the conversation from the captain to the coach, to the management, to the players was straightforward. It is absolutely okay, it can happen, and we trust in you, and he has literally shown us the faith within two games, added Badani. Speaking on batting consistency and the demands of T20 cricket, Badani said, If I have to answer this in a nutshell, this format does not rely on consistency. It relies on impact, seizing the moment, and stepping up when it really matters, and I think we have done that. Even if you speak of the couple of losses that we have had, one, I think the whole world knows that with that Miller one run, things could have been very different. The other game was the only game that we spoke of, the one that is against CSK. If anybody were to win four out of five games, I don't think any side would be worried about it. I think it is more about the process that we have followed. I think we have consistently stuck to the process. Results will come or not come. But we are happy with the way we are going, he added. On Sameer Rizvis recent performances, especially after he had a blip post two match-winning knocks in as many chases, Badani said, He is in a great space. I mean, this format, if somebody has won you two games single-handedly, he has actually got three Man-of-the-Match awards from last year. I don't think many of you would remember that the last game that he played for us was a man-of-the-match. If anybody were to win four out of five games, I don't think any side would be worried about it. I think it is more about the process that we have followed. I think we have consistently stuck to the process. Results will come or not come. But we are happy with the way we are going, he added. Also Read: Live Cricket Score On Axar Patels fitness, especially after he retired hurt due to cramps in Bengaluru, Badani said: All good. He is fit to play.

IPL 2026: My Goal Is To Now Play For India Across Formats, Says RCB Pacer Rasikh

Rasikh Salam Dar: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fast bowler Rasikh Salam Dar said his ultimate ambition is to represent India across formats, and is open to representing the country in any form. In IPL 2026, Rasikh has picked five wickets in three games, including a match-winning effort of 4-24. I didnt start playing cricket thinking about the IPL or India. I had no idea where this journey would take me. But now, my goal is to play for India across formats, in any format, Rasikh said in a release by the franchise on Monday. His persistence was evident when he made his first appearance of the season at the Wankhede Stadium, returning with figures of 1-23 against Mumbai Indians despite battling cramps. When I came on to bowl, I got a cramp, something I had never experienced before. After almost every ball, I was cramping. I was falling over while delivering, and I couldnt even bend properly. My only thought was that I had to complete the over. If I could do that, the team would be in a better position, he said. Those efforts earned Rasikh praise from RCB assistant coach Omkar Salvi. There is a character in him. Staying in the hills of Jammu and Kashmir, that hard life, travelling long hours to go and play cricket, you can see the way he has grown as a player. The first thing I saw was that he was competitive. At the same time, he was creative in his approach. Apart from swinging the ball both ways, he had a slower one and a different perspective on how to approach T20 cricket, he said. Rasikh recalled the early doubts around his career, before he got encouragement from his mother. When I started playing professionally, my family and relatives used to say that no one can take cricket as a profession because very few people were playing from our region. But my mother always believed in me. Since childhood, she used to say that my son will become a cricketer. His journey included long travel to attend trials, guidance from Irfan Pathan, and later setbacks with injuries after being picked by Kolkata Knight Riders, amidst a two-year break from the sport. When I first went for the Under-19 trials, I didnt even know the process properly. I wasnt selected that year. The next year, when I went again, Irfan Pathan was there. After watching me bowl a few deliveries, he stopped me and started guiding me. Thats when I felt that maybe he saw something in me. I got a back injury after playing two matches. Then I got injured again during recovery. At that time, I realised I shouldnt rush. I had to follow the process, no matter how long it took. When I first went for the Under-19 trials, I didnt even know the process properly. I wasnt selected that year. The next year, when I went again, Irfan Pathan was there. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The effort behind the scenes was evident to Salvi. He always kept working hard for himself. He was always trying to learn from every game he watched while sitting out. And then he had his own opinions, which we used to discuss later after the game during practice. With Rasikh, he has the ability to move the ball both ways, he said. Article Source: IANS

VinFast's Free Charging Program Could Slash Fuel Costs by More Than Half

Indias EV transition is accelerating, but for many drivers the decision still comes down to a practical question: will it actually save money over time? VinFast recently extended free charging at V-Green stations until March 31, 2029, allowing customers to charge their vehicles at no cost for several years VinFast believes the answer becomes clearer with its latest ownership program. The company recently extended free charging at V-Green stations until March 31, 2029, allowing customers to charge their vehicles at no cost for several years. This charging program is supported by V-Green, a global EV charging infrastructure company focused on building and operating charging networks for VinFast vehicles. In India, V-Green has been steadily expanding its presence, including a recent partnership with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) to deploy EV chargers across HPCLs fuel station network nationwide, helping bring charging access to major cities, highways and key transport corridors as the countrys EV market grows. Free charging reshapes the cost of driving To really see the benefits of VinFasts latest free charging program, one only needs to make one simple comparison. In early March 2026, petrol in New Delhi was priced around Rs. 94.77 per litre, with similar levels across many major cities. Assuming a typical and balanced real-world estimate of 15.5 km per litre for mid-size SUVs, a driver covering about 1,350 km per month would consume roughly 87 litres of petrol monthly. At Rs. 94.77 per litre, that equals about Rs. 8,200 per month in fuel spending. Over three years, that reaches roughly Rs. 3 lakh. Now, take the VinFast VF 7 as an example. The vehicle carries a 75.3 kWh battery and offers a driving range of about 450 km. That works out to an energy consumption of roughly 16.7 kWh per 100 km. For someone driving around 1,350 km per month, the car would need about 225 kWh of electricity. Public EV charging in India typically costs Rs. 10-Rs. 17 per kWh, depending on the charging network and location. Using the midpoint of that range, about Rs. 13.5 per kWh, charging the VF 7 would normally cost around Rs. 3,000 per month for someone driving 1,350 km. Even at that rate, electricity remains significantly cheaper than petrol. Under the same driving assumptions, a typical petrol SUV would spend roughly Rs. 8,200 per month on fuel. And with VinFasts extended free charging program, because owners can charge at V-Green stations without paying until March 2029, the electricity cost during the first years effectively drops to zero. For a driver travelling 1,350 km each month, that removes about Rs. 8,200 in fuel expenses every month. Over a year, the savings add up to roughly Rs. 98,000, and over three years to about Rs. 2.9 lakh. When people actually sit down and run the numbers, they start seeing EVs as a truly cost-effective alternative, not just an experiment , said Arjun Mehta , a veteran sales advisor in Bengaluru. EV economics go beyond charging But the charging program is only part of the picture. A conventional engine has many mechanical parts that wear over time, which is why regular servicing typically involves oil changes, spark plugs, filters and other components. Meanwhile, electric drivetrains are mechanically simpler, so maintenance tends to be lighter. In this respect, VinFast adds another layer of cost savings by offering free maintenance for three years or up to 36,000 km, whichever comes first. Most recently, Vingroup, the parent company of VinFast, launched a special Trade Gas for Electric program running from March 11 to April 30, 2026, offering an additional 3 percent discount on VinFast electric cars for customers trading in a petrol vehicle. The program is being rolled out simultaneously across several markets, including India, and applies on top of existing incentives. In addition, the company already provides financial support for drivers switching from petrol or diesel vehicles. Buyers who sell their existing internal combustion vehicle and purchase a VinFast EV receive a direct cash discount on the purchase price. Taken together, these factors gradually tilt the ownership math toward electric vehicles. Fuel savings play the biggest role, but lower servicing costs and purchase incentives also contribute. For many buyers evaluating EVs today, the question is becoming less about technology and more about everyday expenses.

'We Made 175 Feel Like 190': Karthik Praises RCB's Fightback Despite Loss To DC

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batting coach Dinesh Karthik believes his side punched above their weight with the ball and made 175-run total feel like 190 despite ending up on the losing side against Delhi Capitals (DC) in a last-over thriller. RCB posted 175/8 after being put in to bat, with Phil Salt leading the charge with a brisk 63. However, the innings lost momentum in the final phase, as DCs bowlers executed their plans well to concede just 29 runs in the last five overs. RCB responded strongly with the ball. Bhuvneshwar Kumar led the early charge with three wickets in the powerplay, reducing DC to 18/3 and putting them firmly on top. However, the game slipped away in the final over when David Miller produced a stunning finish, smashing two sixes and a boundary to seal the win for DC. 'We made 175 feel like 190, which is all you can do; at no point did we feel that we were run short. We just wanted to fight with what we have. The fighting spirit and attitude shown were very encouraging for us as a team, he said in a video released by the franchise on X. It was a tough pitch to bat, and we played quite well for about 75% of the innings. But yes, in the last five overs we probably didnt get as many runs as we wanted, Karthik admitted. But we bowled so well, we fielded our skin out, we did everything possible, showed the kind of commitment that players have towards the team. 'We made 175 feel like 190, which is all you can do; at no point did we feel that we were run short. We just wanted to fight with what we have.

'Pick Wicket In The Middle To Put Pressure On Opposition,' Kuldeep Revea's On DC's Bowling Plan Vs RCB

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: India's prime spinner Kuldeep Yadav underlined the importance of picking wickets in the middle overs and reading conditions well after his side Delhi Capitals (DC) pulled off a thrilling six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). RCB looked set for a big total after racing through the powerplay, but DCs bowlers clawed their way back by adjusting their lengths and pace on a surface that gradually slowed down. Obviously we started not really well. I thought they batted well in the first five or six overs. We knew the wicket is a bit slower side, Kuldeep said in a video released by IPL on X. Especially, I was talking to Axar because the length was very important, and trying to vary the pace. Understanding whos batting and what sort of strength they have. Someone like Phil, hes a very left-side-dominated player, so we tried to keep him away. Hes just pushing it wide, he explained. The turning point came in the middle overs when DC struck in quick succession. Salts dismissal triggered a slowdown, and skipper Axar Patel further dented RCB by removing Devdutt Padikkal and Tim David, while Kuldeep himself chipped in with the key wicket of Romario Shepherd. We got the wicket of Phil and then Akshar, an important wicket of Tim David at that situation. And then obviously he brought me for Romario. Its very important to pick the wicket, Kuldeep said. From a strong 105/3, RCB slipped to 175/8, managing just 29 runs in the last five overs as DCs bowlers, including T Natarajan, Lungi Ngidi, and Mukesh Kumar, executed their plans to perfection. Kuldeep believes that taking continuous wickets is crucial, especially on a short ground like the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, where momentum can shift rapidly. Whenever I played here, the first thing that came to my mind was to pick the wicket in the middle. If I get one wicket, obviously, you are at the top of your rhythm at that time. And if you get another one, youre putting pressure on the team. So that was my plan, especially playing here. Small ground, you can turn things in your side, he added. Kuldeep believes that taking continuous wickets is crucial, especially on a short ground like the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, where momentum can shift rapidly. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The game once again tightened in the death overs, but David Millers experience proved decisive as he smashed two sixes and a four in the final over to take DC home with a ball to spare.
