IPL 2026: Prabhsiman, Iyer Fifties Help PBKS Thrash MI As De Kock Ton Goes In Vain (Ld)
Impact Substitute AM Ghazanfar: Prabhsimran Singh and Shreyas Iyer struck their second successive half-centuries and shared a 139-run partnership for the third wicket as Punjab Kings cruised to a seven-wicket win with 21 balls to spare against the Mumbai Indians in Match 24 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. Iyer read the pitch correctly and inserted MI in to bat first on a wicket that had a slight tinge of grass and some help for the pacers. With Mumbai deciding to rest Rohit Sharma for the hamstring injury he suffered in the previous match, Quinton de Kock stepped into the opener's role and carried his bat through for his first century of IPL 2026. He smashed 112 not out off 60 balls, and with Naman Dhir contributing 50 from 31 balls, helped Mumbai Indians reach 195/6 after slumping to 12/2 in the third over. But their heroics were topped by Prabhsimran and Shreyas as they batted beautifully to help PBKS to victory. Prabhsimran and Shreyas Iyer had scored half-centuries to help PBKS beat Sunrisers Hyderabad a couple of days back, and on Thursday, they mastered another chase with the former hammering 80 not out of 39 balls and the latter scoring 66 off 35 as PBKS reached 198/3 in 16.3 overs. While Prabhsimran scored his second fifty of IPL 2026, Iyer hammered his third successive half-century in the tournament, but this one would be more satisfying for him as it came at his home ground and against a team that had three members of the T20 World Cup-winning Indian team, for which he was not considered. With this win, PBKS surged to the top of the points table with nine points, while the Mumbai Indians remained on two points from one win and four defeats. Chasing a challenging target of 196, the Punjab Kings were off to Priyansh Arya (15) and Cooper Connolly (17) with 45 runs on the board. Impact Substitute AM Ghazanfar accounted for both of them to raise hopes for Mumbai. But Prabhsimran and Iyer rescued them from the difficult position to put them on course to victory, sharing a massive partnership. They seem to have picked up from where they left off against Sunrisers Hyderabad, and the Mumbai Indians pay for their fielding lapses, three dropped catches. Prabhsimran was in brilliant form as he played shots all around the ground, timing the ball sweetly and kept the chase going. He had a slice of luck early on when Jasprit Bumrah dropped an easy chance off Hardik Pandya. Prabhsimran started with back-to-back fours off Chahar in the first over, followed that up with a six and four off the pacer in the eighth over; hammered Hardik Pandya for successive boundaries in the 10th over and struck the MI captain four and six in the 14th over. Ghazanfar and Shardul Thakur, too, were treated for boundaries as he reached his fifty off 23 balls as PBKS cruised towards the target. Iyer, who picked a sensational catch to dismiss his counterpart, played able foil to his partner early on before blazing some brilliant shots towards the end of his knock, reaching his half-century in 31 balls, hitting five fours and two sixes. With PBKS needing 35 runs from 36 balls, Iyer struck Bumrah for a couple of boundaries before smashing Shadrul Thakur for sixes off successive balls in the 16th over after being dropped by Naman Dhir in deep once. Shardul and Dhir had the last laugh when they ended Iyer's sensational knock. Dhir picked a superb catch to make up for his earlier mistake, but the match was as good as over by that time. Iyer scored 66 off 35 balls, smashing five fours and four sixes. Earlier, asked to bat first, Mumbai rode on a brilliant innings by De Kock and looked to score in excess of 200 before PBKS pulled things back a bit. With Rohit Sharma missing the match after failing to fully recover from a hamstring injury he suffered in the previous match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the Mumbai Indians were off to a poor start, slumping to 12/2 with Arshdeep Singh landing twin blows off successive balls, sending back Rickelton and India T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav for a first-ball duck. Rickelton (2) was the first to go, smashing a length-ball on his pads straight down the throat of Shashing Singh at deep backward square leg. He was Arshdeep Singh's 100th victim in the IPL 87th match. The lanky left-arm medium pacer made it 101 wickets when he swung one off the length, and Suryakuamr Yadav drove it straight to Yuzvendra Chahal. De Kock took over after that and, with Naman Dhir playing an able foil, capitalised on the short boundaries. They exploded into action in the last over of the Power-play and maintained the tempo thereafter. The seasoned South African, who had lost out to his compatriot Rickelton and missed the first four matches, scored a brilliant century off 53 balls, hitting seven boundaries and as many sixes, reaching his century in his first match for the Mumbai Indians. De Kock was the more adventurous against Yuzi Chahal and made the most of the run-out opportunity that Shreyas Iyer missed, unable to execute a direct hit. QDK, who started with a superb six off the first ball he aced, reached his fifty off 28 balls. He was quite severe on Chahal, smashing him for a couple of sixes. Dhir, who was promoted to No.4 and enjoyed a slice of luck when put down by Chahal early in his knock, hammered a half-century, making the most of his chance. He smashed Vijaykumar Vyshak for the two fours and a six off the last over of Power-play. They then smashed Chahal for two sixes and a four as they raised 100 runs off their partnership. Dhir completed his fifty off. De Kock continued to prosper; he stepped up a gear after completing his half-century, smashing Shashank Singh for back-to-back sixes and reaching the three-figure mark in 53 balls, smashing seven fours and as many sixes in his superb knock. Mumbai lost skipper Hardik Pandya (14 of 12) to a spectacular catch orchestrated by PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer, who leapt into the air, caught the ball with the tip of his left hand, exchanged it to his throwing arm and lobbed it in inside the field while in the air outside the rope for Xavier Bartlett to complete the catch. The sensation catch, which he celebrated in front of his home crowd animatedly, would be listed among the best of this season and helped PBKS restrict the Mumbai Indians to below 200. The Mumbai Indians also did not help their cause by dropping three catches in all. Bumrah's horrendous tournament continued as he went wicketless once again and also dropped a catch off Prabhsimran Singh. Mumbai lost skipper Hardik Pandya (14 of 12) to a spectacular catch orchestrated by PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer, who leapt into the air, caught the ball with the tip of his left hand, exchanged it to his throwing arm and lobbed it in inside the field while in the air outside the rope for Xavier Bartlett to complete the catch.

J&Ks Rasikh Salam shines bright in IPL 2026
Srinagar, Apr 16:Amid the early-season buzz surrounding Jammu & Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi, who is still searching for impact in IPL 2026, another fast bowler from the region has surged into the spotlight. Rasikh Salam Dar announced himself in emphatic fashion, delivering a game-defining spell to power Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a convincing win over Lucknow Super Giants. Rasikh returned with of 4/24, ensuring LSG were bowled out for a modest 146. In 16th over when Rasikh removed the well-set Ayush Badoni (38). A cleverly disguised slower delivery induced a top-edge, safely collected behind the stumps, halting LSGs momentum at a crucial juncture. He then delivered the knockout blow at the death, picking up two wickets in the final over, including Avesh Khan, to wrap up the innings with precision and composure. The spell now stands as the best bowling performance by an RCB bowler against LSG in IPL history. While Auqib, who earned a high-value contract with Delhi Capitals after a standout domestic season, has featured in just one match without leaving a mark, Rasikh has quietly built a strong case for himself with performances that combine control, variation and game awareness. IPL Career Snapshot Rasikhs IPL journey has been one of gradual evolution. Having represented multiple franchises, RCB, Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Mumbai Indians, he has featured in 15 matches so far, bowling claiming 15 wickets. His career-best figures of 4/24, achieved against LSG. Despite a relatively high career economy rate of 10.06, his 2026 numbers signal a significant turnaround. In just two matches this season, he has picked up 5 wickets at an impressive average of 9.40, with an economy of 6.88, making him one of the most effective bowlers early in the tournament. Rising with Recognition His recent performances have drawn praise from former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan and former J&K skipper Samiullah Beigh, who highlighted his tactical awareness and ability to read match situations. Having moved to Baroda in 2025 after securing an NOC from JKCA, Rasikhs domestic exposure appears to be paying dividends. His ability to mix pace, execute slower balls, and deliver under pressure is now translating into tangible success on the IPL stage. As IPL 2026 unfolds, Jammu & Kashmirs fast-bowling pipeline continues to draw attention. But for now, it is Rasikh Salam Dar who has taken centre stage, stepping out of the shadows and making headlines with a spell that could define his season.

IPL 2026: De Kock's Unbeaten 112 Helps Mumbai Indians Post 195/6 Against PBKS
Indian Premier League: Playing his first match for the Mumbai Indians, Quinton de Kock smashed a brilliant century and shared a 123-run partnership with Naman Dhir (50) as the hosts posted a challenging 195/6 against the Punjab Kings in Match 24 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. De Kock, who was left on the bench for the first four matches of the season as Mumbai decided to got with the younger wicketkeeper-batter Ryan Rickelton, made the most of the opportunity to score 112 not out, becoming only the third player to score centuries for three different IPL teams. He joined KL Rahul and Sanju Samson when he reached the three-figure mark in 53 balls on Thursday. With Rohit Sharma missing the match after failing to fully recover from a hamstring injury he suffered in the previous match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the Mumbai Indians went in with a new opening pair as Quinton de Kock partnered his South African compatriot, Rickelton. But the move did not work, and the Mumbai Indians soon got into trouble at 12/2 with Arshdeep Singh landing twin blows off successive balls, sending back Rickelton and India T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav for a first-ball duck.

The lanky left-arm medium pacer made it 101 wickets when he swung one off the length, and Suryakuamr Yadav drove it straight to Yuzvendra Chahal. Quinton de Kock and Naman Dhir then changed the complexion of the match with the South African opener smashing a brilliant century off 53 balls, hitting seven boundaries and as many sixes, reaching his century in his first match for the Mumbai Indians. De Kock found a good partner in Naman Dhir as they raised 123 runs for the third wicket partnership, helping the Mumbai Indians recover from a precarious s12/2. De Kock was the more adventurous and made the most of the run-out opportunity that Shreyas Iyer missed, unable to execute a direct hit. QDK, who started with a superb six off the first ball he aced, reached his fifty off 28 balls. He was quite severe on Chahal, smashing him for a couple of sixes off the mystery spinner.

IPL 2026: Rohit Set To Miss Next Few Matches For MI, Confirms Skipper Hardik Pandya
Indian Premier League: Talismanic opener Rohit Sharma is likely to miss the next couple of matches as the Mumbai Indians attempt to haul themselves back on the rails after suffering three successive defeats in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. That Rohit was not fully fit after suffering an injury to his right hamstring in the match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 12 was confirmed on Thursday, just before the start of MI's match with Punjab Kings. At the toss, skipper Hardik Pandya confirmed that Rohit Sharma will miss the next couple of matches at least. Rohit misses out; he'll take a couple of games to see where he is, said Pandya at the toss, indicating that Rohit has maybe not fully recovered from the injury and MI would not take a risk by rushing him into the middle. Rohit had suffered an injury to his right hamstring during the match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the same venue on April 12 and retired hurt after scoring 19 runs. He reportedly underwent scans and had light training and batting practice on the eve of the Mumbai Indians' match against the Punjab Kings. On Wednesday, the franchise informed that Rohit was still under assessment by the medical staff and team management. Rohit missed the practice session on Tuesday and made a brief appearance towards the end of their pre-match training session. He had his right leg strapped and did some short sprints and batted in the nets for some time just before the session ended.

Domestic Season, India A Exposure After Last Years IPL Made Me A Better Cricketer, Says Nigam
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Delhi Capitals spinner Vipraj Nigam said the time between last years IPL and the ongoing season has been transformative for his development as a cricketer, where he featured in a full domestic campaign for Uttar Pradesh and had exposure to India A matches. Nigam had a mixed time in his first IPL stint with Delhi Capitals last year - starting brightly with seven wickets in his first five innings at an economy rate of 8.9 before having a dip by picking six wickets in his next nine games at 9.4 runs per over. With his leg-spin, Nigam was notably more effective against lefthanders, striking every 16 balls compared to 25.7 against righthanders, with five of his 11 wickets coming against the southpaws. Nigam has impressed in domestic T20s since the IPL, finishing as the secondhighest wickettaker in the UP T20 League 2025 with 20 wickets in 12 matches at an economy rate of 7.8. He also led Uttar Pradeshs bowling in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, claiming 13 wickets in seven games at an economy rate of 7.4. In between, he played for India A in the 50-over games against Australia A, picking up 2-17 in the T20 World Cup warm-up game against Namibia. Actually, there have been a lot of changes. Like you said, I have played the entire domestic season for Uttar Pradesh. I have played matches for the India A team. So, somewhere or the other, all the things that I had learnt in IPL last year, I learnt a lot more from being there. Like, new dressing room, new players who were with me in India A, and they were India's top players who were already representing the Indian team. So, sharing the dressing room and learning new skills from them - all those things were very good, and I am trying to learn all those things. Even the tournaments that I have played here, the practice sessions before coming to IPL, I have tried to bring the same thing in all of them, said Nigam to IANS on the 'JioStar Press Room' during TATA IPL 2026 Rivalry Week. Nigam, whos played three IPL 2026 games so far and picked just one wicket, showered rich praise for wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul, whose ability to read the game from behind the stumps and communicate with younger bowlers in real time left a lasting impression on him. Actually, as everyone knows, KL bhaiya is the keeper in the game. So, behind the stumps, if anything happens, how the wicket is going, or if the batter is trying to do something specific, he always comes and shares with me if I am coming to bowl. Even in fielding time, he sees everything so well. He does everything because in such a crowd and so much noise around, Axar bhaiya can't make changes all the time so KL bhaiya's role becomes the most important in this scenario as a wicket-keeper because he himself goes and talks to the bowlers. Like us youngsters, whoever is playing in the game, how to involve them and remove pressure from them, he does all these things very well, he said. DC, who are yet to win the IPL, have suffered back-to-back defeats after winning their first two games. But Nigam was emphatic that the mood inside the camp is still upbeat and that they can look to get back to winning ways when they take on defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Morale is still high. Yes, we are coming after losing the last two games. But whatever mistakes we have made, we have time to settle and work on them. Whatever mistakes we have made in the last few games, we have worked on them. Hopefully, we will make a comeback from this game. But the morale is still high as the team is in form. All the senior players and the coaching staff have given freedom to the team, he said. Asked about how the DC coaching staff stays in touch with players when IPL is not on, Nigam elaborated on how they have maintained consistent contact throughout the year and regularly check in on how they fare in various competitions. We get very little time in the off-season. But whatever time we get, our coaching staff is always in touch with the players. From last year to starting this year's IPL, I think every week I talk to them about what we are doing, how we are performing in domestic games, and how bowling and batting are going. They even ask how we are training and if any problem is being faced, or if any aspect of the game needs work, or when we are free? The entire coaching staff is always in touch with you. We get very little time in the off-season. But whatever time we get, our coaching staff is always in touch with the players. From last year to starting this year's IPL, I think every week I talk to them about what we are doing, how we are performing in domestic games, and how bowling and batting are going.

IPL 2026: Rishabh Pant Is Getting Himself Out, Says Navjot Sidhu As LSG Captain Falters Again
As Lucknow Super Giants: As Lucknow Super Giants slumped to another defeat, losing to defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by five wickets in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, their skipper Rishabh Pant's injury and subsequent dismissal have turned the spotlight on the wicketkeeper-batter. Former India opener and commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu feels Pant's problems are of his own making, as he is getting himself out rather than the bowlers taking his wicket. I dont think bowlers are getting Rishabh out; more often, he is getting himself out. He has the talent and ability, and if he gives himself time, he can turn it around. At the moment, both their batting and bowling seem to be struggling, JioStar experts Navjot Singh Sidhu said speaking on Star Sports Amul Cricket Live. In the match against RCB, Pant was struck on his left elbow as he attempted to pull a shortish delivery from Josh Hazlewood and retired hurt. He came back to bat with his team in dire straits, but fell for only one run when he tried to whip a low full toss from Bhuvneshwar Kumar, but was caught superbly by Phil Salt, running to his left from deep square-leg boundary. In five matches, the wicketkeeper-batter has scores of 7, 68*, 10, 18, and 1, the half-century against Sunrisers Hyderabad being the only worthwhile contribution. On Wednesday, LSG batters were rattled by a superb spell of fast bowling by Josh Hazlewood while Bhuvneshwar Kumar bagged 3-27, and Rasikh Salam grabbed 4-24 as the pacers made hay on a two-paced pitch. LSG had slumped to 83/4 before they recovered to post 146 thanks to vital contributions by Ayush Badoni (38) and Mukul Choudhary (39). In five matches, the wicketkeeper-batter has scores of 7, 68*, 10, 18, and 1, the half-century against Sunrisers Hyderabad being the only worthwhile contribution.

IPL 2026: Have Been Bowling A Lot Of Slower Balls For Years, Did Take A Lot Of Practice, Says Ngidi
Chennai Super Kings: Lungi Ngidi has made the slower ball his signature, but he is quick to point out it has been years in the making. Ngidi, one of the premier fast bowlers for South Africa, first lit up the IPL when Chennai Super Kings won IPL 2018 by claiming 11 wickets in just seven matches. After a brief stint with Royal Challengers Bengaluru when they won the IPL in 2025, Delhi Capitals picked him up for INR 2 crore ahead of the ongoing season. With his height, pace, variations, and ability to deliver in crunch moments, Ngidi has been a central figure in DCs bowling attack. Ahead of DC preparing to get back to winning ways when they take on defending champions RCB on Saturday afternoon, in a virtual media interaction facilitated by the franchise, Ngidi reflected on his slower balls, the hardwork gone behind perfecting it, preparing to tackle Virat Kohli, playing under MS Dhoni and more. Excerpts: - Q. How did you first develop your slower-ball variation, and what went into perfecting it? A. Ive been asked this question a couple of times now since the World Cup. I started at CSK in 2018, and that is something Dwayne Bravo had mentioned to me, that I should work on a good slower ball. I asked him to teach me how he bowls his balls, and he showed me a couple of things. Obviously, it wasnt perfect off the bat for me, but I developed it over the years. It seems like everyone is surprised, but Ive been bowling this slower ball for years now. Its just that Ive probably added a bit more flight and revs to it. Whether I bowl it on a length or fuller, its still the same slower ball. It did take a lot of practice. A lot of guys ask me how I do it, and I think they feel its easy because they see guys try to bowl it from the first ball of their run-up. For me, it took almost close to a year to build the confidence to deliver this ball. It has become one of my weapons. It takes a lot of confidence to run in and bowl it, especially trying to get it to dip on a yorker length. There are times where I get it wrong, and like any world-class batter, they can hit it for a boundary. But when I get it right, it creates chances. In T20 cricket, thats what you want, to create chances or control the flow of runs. I was also watching trends of the IPL over the years, and it feels like everyone wants to bowl fast. But on these wickets, with the bats and the boundary sizes, pace can travel. So you need something different to stay relevant. Q. How did you first develop your slower-ball variation, and what went into perfecting it? A. Im not going to tell you my plans for Virat Kohli because that would defeat the purpose of wickets. But yes, you always come up with plans. You look at technical things, recent dismissals, and patterns. Thats normal planning for every batter before every game. Hes obviously one of the most consistent batters in that lineup, so you have to be aware of him. But having been around that setup, I know the other batters as well, and they are just as dangerous. Theyre in good form, so we will need to play well to beat them. Q. What mindset and confidence do you draw on when executing variations? A. It takes a lot mentally. Its a brave ball to bowl because when you get it wrong, it can become a low full toss or a slot ball and go for a boundary. The confidence comes from preparation. Ive been doing it for years and Im used to bowling under pressure. I bowl in the powerplay and at the death, so its always high-risk. Like the coach says, someone has to do the dirty job, and I guess thats my role. So I have to find ways to succeed in those situations. That includes variations, changing grips, and trying different things. The game is evolving, and you cant keep doing the same thing. Mentally, you have to be strong, and skill-wise, you have to execute well. Q. Do you prefer having multiple variations in your armoury, or sticking to a trusted stock ball? A. There are times where having too many options can become a problem, especially in longer formats. But in T20 cricket, things have changed. Batters are looking to score quickly, especially in the powerplay. If you keep bowling the same thing, they will catch on. You need variations because if something isnt working, you need another option. Otherwise, you get stuck. If conditions are helping, you can stick to your stock ball. But on a good batting wicket, you need something else. Sometimes having too many options can lead to overthinking, but it can also work in your favour because the batter doesnt know whats coming. Q. In T20s, how important are hard lengths and simplicity compared to mixing things up? A. Conditions decide how you bowl. A good ball on top of off stump will always be a good ball. That will never change. Thats where Test cricket has helped me. It gives you the base to execute your stock ball well. Variations help when youre under pressure, but the basics stay the same. Good technique and accuracy are still key. Q. With limited IPL opportunities, how do you maintain the surprise element in your bowling? A. This is my ninth IPL season, and there were about three years where I didnt play a game. Its frustrating, but you dont select yourself. I focus on what I can control, which is performing when I get the opportunity. I used that time to train and prepare for other cricket, including national duties. With the slower ball, people talk about it, but for me, its about execution. Even if a batter expects it, if I execute it well, its still effective. I also have conversations with players like KL Rahul, Axar Patel, David Miller and Tristan Stubbs to understand what batters might be thinking. At the end of the day, I focus on executing my plans and what the captain wants. Q. What emotions come into play when you face your former team RCB, and how do you handle them? A. I dont take emotions into the game. When I play, its purely professional and strictly business as you would call it. Im representing the Delhi Capitals now. I had a great time at RCB and we won the title, but that chapter is over. Now my responsibility is to perform for the Delhi Capitals who have showed their faith in me. Q. After two defeats, whats the mood like in the camp, and how do you keep playoff hopes alive? A. I cant predict the future, but we definitely have the squad to go far. The games weve lost have been close, and if we analyse them honestly, there were moments where we let ourselves down. Thats also the positive. If you can identify those mistakes and fix them, you have a good chance in the tournament. Theres something good building in this team. Q. Are you working on new variations, and how much do you learn from watching others? A. There are things Im working on, but you probably wont see them in this tournament yet. These things take time. Im always trying to learn. Bowling with players like Auqib, you pick things up. The way he swings the ball reminds me of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. I dont come into the IPL thinking I know everything. Local players often have better knowledge of conditions. I respect that and Im always open to learning, while also sharing whatever I can. Q. What did winning the WTC and a Test series in India mean to you personally? A. Definitely the ICC trophy - it was the first time we did it for our country. That for me would have to take the cake. Winning a Test series in India is up there. It's very high but when we speak about history, the ICC trophy did a lot for us back in South Africa. Q. What was it like playing under MS Dhoni, and what have you taken from his leadership? A. Definitely the ICC trophy - it was the first time we did it for our country. That for me would have to take the cake. Winning a Test series in India is up there. It's very high but when we speak about history, the ICC trophy did a lot for us back in South Africa.

'We Had A Lot Of Top Order Options': Sehwag On Delhi Picking Sangwan Over Kohli In IPL 2008
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag has revealed the reason behind Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) not signing Virat Kohli before the inaugural season in 2008, saying they had a bunch of top-order options and needed more bowlers, Sehwag was the captain of the side in the first season after signing for them before the first-ever auction as an 'icon player.' So at Delhi Daredevils back in 2008, the inaugural IPL season, I remember Shikhar Dhawan was also in our team along with Tilakratne Dilshan. Both of them were openers, but we used to make them bat at three and five because Gautam and I used to open the innings. Manoj Tiwary had taken the number four spot. So we had a lot of top-order batters in the team, and it was becoming difficult to fit all of them in the batting order, Sehwag told Star Sports. At that time, Virat Kohli was also batting at number three or four. So we didn't even have space to bring him in. We lacked a bowler, so we decided to go with Pradeep Sangwan instead of Kohli, he added.

IPL 2026: Communication And Execution Are RCBs Real Strength, Says Hazlewood
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru pacer Josh Hazlewood credited precise execution and clear communication within the bowling unit for their dominant performance against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026, highlighting how the team adapted to unfamiliar home conditions. After RCB bundled out LSG for 146 on a slightly tricky surface at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Hazlewood pointed out that the nature of the pitch played a crucial role and made the eventual chase even more impressive. We probably struggled a little bit in the first half of last year in home games. So, it's nice to win the toss and have a bowl first. Its a slightly different wicket than what were used to, a little slower, probably a bit up and down. So, its quite tough for batting. I thought the way we chased the total down was very good to watch. All our batters are in good form and confident, and to chase the score down pretty quickly on a wicket like that is huge, Hazlewood told JioStar. Hazlewood emphasised that RCBs bowling success was built on sticking to simple plans and executing them effectively, with experienced seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar playing a key role in reading the conditions early. You dont have to try too much. Its very simple in planning, but its just about execution, and putting the ball in the right areas. Bhuvi summed up the conditions in that first over, and then there were a few field changes here and there. The communication within the bowling group, in particular, especially from Bhuvi, who bowls first up, is a real strength of ours. Its probably why we did so well in our away games last year, he said.

'Slow Wicket Helped Us Stick To Basics,' Says Hazlewood On RCB's Bowling Display Vs LSG
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Josh Hazlewood credited the slow wicket and simple bowling approach for his side's dominant display against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Hazlewood, who grabbed the player of the match award after a brilliant bowling performance, said the nature of the pitch allowed RCB bowlers to stick to basics rather than overcomplicate their plans. Yeah, I think we kept it pretty simple. I think the wicket did enough, so we didnt need to try too much. Probably communicated that around, that the wicket was quite slow, a little bit up and down if you really hit a good length, he said in a video released by IPL on X. The Australian quick emphasised accuracy as the key factor behind his economical spell in which he gave away just 20 runs in four overs and took one crucial wicket. So, yeah, it was one of those ones you didnt have to try too much. Kept it pretty simple and just being nice and accurate on that spot, he added. Hazlewood also highlighted the importance of home support and familiarity with conditions in Bengaluru. Yeah, I think it was great. We love playing here, obviously. Home fans, we love playing here. Its great to win the toss, first of all. But, yeah, I just enjoyed it here in Chinnaswamy, he said. Reflecting on RCBs momentum, he pointed to their recent success, including a crucial win over the Mumbai Indians away from home, which motivated him to perform well. I think the guys, obviously, winning against Mumbai in Mumbai is always a huge thing. Again, we did it last year and this year. So, it just sort of propelled us forward and, yeah, keep moving forward, he noted. Looking ahead, Hazlewood acknowledged the challenge of facing the Delhi Capitals in a rare home day game. Delhi at home, day game. We dont play too many of those, so its nice and hot. Delhi, again, another great side. So, youve always got to be on in this tournament, he said.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru veteran Virat Kohli praised the teams clinical and aggressive approach following their win over Lucknow Super Giants, and also highlighted areas for improvement, noting that he doesnt like seeing collapses. Addressing the side in the dressing room after the victory on Wednesday, Kohli underlined how RCB made a conscious effort to stay ahead of the game despite an early setback, referring to the dismissal of opener Phil Salt. Guys, another good win for us, I won't keep it long at all. I think we were quite professional with the back, conscious effort to try and take the game away from the opposition early on. After we lost Salty, the idea was to press back counter-attack and not give them a sniff in the game and we ended up doing that, Kohli said in a video shared by the franchise on Wednesday. Kohli reflected on RCBs broader batting template this season, one built on counter-attacking cricket rather than consolidation, even in pressure phases. He specifically pointed to the seamless transfer of momentum between batters, a defining feature of their campaign. Again, the handover of momentum from one guy to the other is something that's working really nicely for us. When Rajat came in, of course, he recovered again and played some amazing shots. In small periods of pressure, we chose the right shots, put the pressure right back on the opposition and we just stay ahead of the game at all times, he said.

IPL 2026: MI Name Krish Bhagat As Replacement For Injured Atharva Ankolekar
TATA Indian Premier League: Five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) have announced Krish Bhagat as a replacement for spin all-rounder Atharva Ankolekar, who has been ruled out of the IPL 2026 due to injury. The 21-year-old right-arm medium pacer, who has played seven first-class matches and nine List A matches for Punjab, will join the team for a base price of Rs 30 lakh. Mumbai Indians (MI) have signed Krish Bhagat as a replacement for Atharva Ankolekar, who has been ruled out of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 due to injury. Bhagat, 21, has played seven first-class matches and nine List A matches for Punjab. He is a right-arm medium pacer and has also registered a half-century in List A cricket, the IPL wrote in a statement. Krish brings versatility as a right-arm fast bowler and can contribute with the bat as a lower order batsman. He was part of Mumbai Indians trials for the past two years, having played for the Reliance Team in the DY Patil T20 Cup in 2026 and has been a support bowler with the team since the pre-season. Ankolekar, meanwhile, was part of India's U19 World Cup team in 2020 and was also the Player of the Match in the final of the ACC U19 Asia Cup against Bangladesh in 2019. MI started their IPL 2026 season with a win against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). However, they couldn't maintain that momentum and lost their next three matches against Delhi Capitals (DC), Rajasthan Royals (RR), and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).

IPL 2026: RCB Stick To Their Guns, Play To Their Strengths, Says Finch
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former Australia captain Aaron Finch believes Royal Challengers Bengalurus success this IPL season is rooted in their commitment to an aggressive batting philosophy and backing their team to play to their strengths, even in comfortable situations, following their clinical win over the Lucknow Super Giants. Chasing a modest target of 147 after a disciplined bowling effort, RCB continued to press the accelerator rather than shutting the game down conventionally. A brisk cameo from skipper Rajat Patidar set the tone, while Jitesh Sharma played a fearless knock of 23 off nine balls, his first double-digit score of the season despite a string of low returns earlier. Finishers Tim David and Romario Shepherd then wrapped up the chase with unbeaten cameos. Finch pointed out that Jiteshs approach of not holding back, even after a lean run, reflects the confidence and clarity within the RCB setup. That's just a batting unit with a lot of confidence. You can see the gap between the teams on the top of the table and the bottom. That was again evident today. They go with a similar structure on how they go about their run-chases. They go hard even when the game (is in their grasp), Finch told ESPNCricinfo. Highlighting the teams refusal to deviate from their attacking template, Finch said RCBs batters are committed to finishing games on their own terms rather than playing it safe.

Whenever You See Patidar Walk In, He Comes With A Lot Of Intent: Rayudu
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former Indioa batter Ambati Rayudu lauded Royal Challengers Bengalurus fearless batting approach following their comprehensive performance against Lucknow Super Giants and reserved high praise for skipper Rajat Patidars intent while walking into the field to bat. After RCB bundled out LSG for 146, thanks to a standout bowling effort led by Rasikh Salam Dar, Rayudu highlighted how skipper Rajat Patidar has instilled an aggressive, intent-driven mindset within the batting unit. They are going after every ball. The captain is doing that so the team is following that tempo and that template. Whenever you see Patidar walk in, he comes with a lot of intent. It is rubbing off on his non-striker as well as the batters who are following. It is quite refreshing to see RCB play that way, Rayudu told ESPNcricinfo RCBs batting display stood in contrast to LSGs struggle on a sluggish surface, where their batters found it difficult to accelerate consistently. Rayudu noted that adaptability to conditions played a key role in differentiating the two sides. Playing on a slow wicket, they adapted way better than the way Lucknow's batters did. It was a slow wicket, they had to adjust their shots and their bat swing but they played some fantastic shots. Generally, we have seen a lot of sixes against loose balls, but this batting line-up has been hitting sixes against really good deliveries. That's a great sign, he said.
