IPL 2026: Pressure On The Batting Side Is Immense When Hazlewood, Bhuvi Are Bowling, Says Padikkal
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru left-handed batter Devdutt Padikkal praised the teams new-ball bowlers Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar for their devastating spells against Delhi Capitals, saying the pressure they created in the first six overs set the tone for the match. Hazlewoods 4-12 and Bhuvneshwars 3-5 ensured RCB bowled out DC for 75, the lowest total of this season, which they chased down with 81 balls to spare. The duo picked three wickets each in the power-play to ensure DC never recovered from being blown away early on. I think it was great to see the way we bowled in those first six overs. Those two are so good with the new ball. And when you have that from both ends, I think the pressure on the batting side is immense, and that really showed today, Padikkal said at the conclusion of the game. Asked about his experience of fielding in the slips when the duo were bowling, Padikkal said, I was expecting a catch every ball, and that's not something you would say in a T20 game. But the way those two are bowling, every ball is an opportunity. On his own slip catching, the left-hander said, I think it's a lot to do with time out there. I think when I started doing slip fielding initially in my career, I wasn't really good at it. But as you do it more often, I think you get better at it. And it's all about picking the ball as early as you can and making sure your hands are soft. Asked about his experience of fielding in the slips when the duo were bowling, Padikkal said, I was expecting a catch every ball, and that's not something you would say in a T20 game.

IPL 2026: I Just Followed Bhuvi, There Was A Little Bit Swing In The First Six Overs, Says Hazlewood
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengalurus pace bowling spearhead Josh Hazlewood said he was just following the example of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and felt that there was some movement on offer to exploit, which became very deadly in them beating Delhi Capitals by nine wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday. Hazlewoods 4-12 and Bhuvneshwars 3-5 ensured RCB bowled out DC for 75, the lowest total of this season, which they chased down with 81 balls to spare. Probably turning up after 500+ runs, you don't expect that. I just followed Bhuvi. There was a little bit there in the first six overs. It was a little bit up and down. Once the ball got soft, it became consistent. You want the batter to hit down the V, but I thought there was something in the wicket in that area, then I thought to hit the pitch, it was nice to see the ball hit the higher part of the bat, said Hazlewood at the conclusion of the game, where he was named Player of the Match. Asked if RCB are looking good to defend the title, Hazlewood said, It would have been nice to bowl four overs and get off the field (laughs). But we are ticking every box. We summed up conditions nicely in the away games last year, we are hitting our straps now at the right time of the tournament. Bhuvneshwar, who leads the Purple Cap race, said the ball has been swinging more this season. I think it is swinging this year. I don't know whether it's ball or wickets or whatever, but when the ball swings and you get a few wickets upfront, it makes it easier for us to bowl the back end of the series, he said. In his conversations with Hazlewood during the spell, Bhuvneshwar said, Yes, it was a good, good batting wicket, especially the ball, the way the ball was coming onto the bat. Yes, there was a swing, and I think it (was) one of the good days where you bowl it because nicking or getting bowled. So we were fortunate to get those initial wickets.

IPL 2026: Credit Goes To Bowlers For Power-play Burst, Says RCB Skipper Patidar
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar credited his bowlers, especially pacers Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, for setting up the teams emphatic nine-wicket win over Delhi Capitals with devastating spells in the Powerplay in the clash in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 in New Delhi. Hazlewoods 4-12 and Bhuvneshwars 3-5 ensured RCB bowled out DC for 75, which they chased down with 81 balls to spare. Absolutely, but I think even I am surprised the way wicket played, and all credit goes to bowlers, the way they have bowled, especially in the powerplay, Hazlewood and Bhuvi. I think the way they have hit those areas and got that a bit of swing earlier, I think that was tremendous to see, Patidar said at the conclusion of the game. Asked if there was more swing than usual, Patidar replied, I think the swing was normal, and the good thing was we got the early wicket, and that's why it kept us in the driving seat. Of course, I think if you are playing T20 cricket on the flat surface, so I think if you have, you should have a good bowling unit. That's why, because only a bowler can make you win the championship. On the bowling plans, the RCB skipper explained, No, no. We had planned earlier that if we got early wickets, then we would go three-three overs of each. And let's see how the wicket is behaving and the way afterwards the Suyash and Sheppy (Romario Shepherd) bowled, I think the areas. And Suyash also bowled, I think he got a lot of spin, I would say, but I think the way he bowled stump to stump, I think that was really good to see. Patidar emphasised the need to maintain discipline and routines as the tournament heads into its crucial phase, with RCB set to next face Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. It's very important to follow your routines because you know it's still a long way to go, but I think we are just taking one game at a time. And the positive is, as I mentioned last game also, that different players coming up and doing it for the team, I think that's a good sign for us. On the bowling plans, the RCB skipper explained, No, no. We had planned earlier that if we got early wickets, then we would go three-three overs of each.

IPL 2026: When You Go Into The Next Match, You Have To Forget This And Move On, Says Axar
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel has urged his side to quickly put behind the disappointment of their heavy nine-wicket loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru and focus on the matches ahead, stressing that negativity will only hurt their campaign in the demanding IPL 2026 season. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar ran through the DC batting line-up with impeccable lengths, swing and bounce to bundle them out for 75, which defending champions RCB chased down with 81 balls to spare. I still dont understand what happened. But everyone says that in cricket, every day you have to be on your toes, and you have to come back and do the same things again and again. But yes, when you go into the next match, you have to forget this and move on, Axar said at the conclusion of the game. On the early swing that undid his sides top order, Axar said the top three batters could have negotiated the swing better. I wouldnt say surprised - they are world-class bowlers, and they swing the ball anywhere, they have done it on every ground. But yes, I feel if our openers or one of the top-order batters had negotiated those first couple of overs better, it could have made a difference, and the match might have been different. But credit to them for the way they bowled. Reflecting on momentum shifts for DC, who are now on a three-game losing streak, Axar said, Yes, if I talk about today, you can think like that. But I feel ifs and buts will keep happening. You might think that if we had taken that catch or completed that run in the GT game, maybe the momentum would have stayed. But these things keep happening. Whats important is that you come every day and keep doing the same things, stay on your toes, and keep doing what youve been doing. The IPL is a very tough tournament - you cant think even for a day that things will come easy. You have to come and execute every time. Yes, momentum matters, but you cant keep thinking what if that had happened. Its better to focus on whats in front of you, he elaborated. But these things keep happening. Whats important is that you come every day and keep doing the same things, stay on your toes, and keep doing what youve been doing. Also Read: Live Cricket Score So we have to forget this and move ahead. I'll also tell the team the same - one bad game doesnt mean you start pointing fingers or blaming the batters. We need to stay positive, continue what weve been doing in the last 6-7 matches, and keep the right mindset. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Star As RCB Complete Nine-wicket Rout Of Listless DC (ld)
Impact Player Abishek Porel: Sizzling spells from Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar helped defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru storm to a nine-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals in a one-sided match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Monday. The right-arm pace duo ripped through DCs batting order through a devastating new-ball spell, as the hosts were bundled out for just 75 before Devdutt Padikkal and Virat Kohli hit 34 and 23 not out respectively to wrap the chase with 81 balls to spare, sealing a win that was emphatic and swift in equal measure. Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar combined for taking six wickets inside the first four overs, producing prodigious movement and bounce after hitting the deck, which was more reminiscent of a Test match than an IPL game, and ensured DC were bowled out for the lowest score of this season. Outside edges flew, batters were beaten repeatedly, and DC had no answers to counter Hazlewood (4-12) and Bhuvneshwar (3-5). Impact Player Abishek Porel's 30 off 33 was the lone bright spot in an otherwise dismal batting effort, as no other DC batter crossed 20 and fell like ninepins. As per CricViz, DC became just the second team in IPL history to lose six wickets inside the Power-play in a non-rain curtailed game. The only previous occurrence came in IPL 2011, when Kochi Tuskers Kerala slumped to 29/6 against Deccan Chargers. Coincidentally, both of these happened on April 27. Not many thought of mayhem coming DC's way when Bhuvneshwar Kumar's probing away-swinging delivery drew an edge off debutant Sahil Parakh, and trickled harmlessly to short third man. But on the very next ball, Bhuvneshwar struck with lethal precision - a sharp, late in-swinging yorker from over the wicket sneaked past Parakh's blade and castled him for a two-ball duck. Hazlewood raised the tempo of carnage with two huge blows in as many deliveries. A brutal short ball cramped KL Rahul for room on the pull, and the top edge settled into Jitesh Sharma's safe gloves, while debutant Sameer Rizvi was enticed in chasing one around the off-stump, and the outside edge on an expansive drive was grabbed by the keeper. Tristan Stubbs momentarily lifted DCs spirits by clipping Hazlewood's hat-trick ball for four. But the reprieve was fleeting as Bhuvneshwar, relentless and unerring, found Stubbs' outside edge with another late swinging delivery and was safely pouched by first slip. He then extracted the outside edge of captain Axar Patel, with Jitesh taking another catch. Hazlewood then completed DC's misery by producing a sharp short ball that tangled Nitish Rana, and an ugly glove-edge was caught by gully, as DC were in absolute tatters at 9/6 inside four overs. Bhuvneshwar and Hazlewood became the first pair of bowlers in IPL history to each claim three wickets inside the powerplay in the same game, which underlined just how comprehensively they dismantled DC. When the six-over phase ended, Delhi's 13/6 became the new record for the lowest powerplay score in IPL history. Abishek Porel and David Miller then offered some resistance by plundering boundaries off Rasikh Salam Dar and Romario Shepherd to stage a brief recovery. But the brief 35-run stand off 31 balls was broken by Rasikh, as Miller, attempting to heave across the line against a pacy short ball, toe-ended to a grateful Jitesh. Amid a feeble dust storm swirling around the ground, Kyle Jamieson pulled Shepherd handsomely over mid-wicket for six to take DC to their fifty in 10.2 overs and spare them from the additional ignominy of the lowest total in IPL history. Even as Suyash Sharma troubled Porel, Jamieson's defiance was ended by Krunal Pandya, who joined the wicket-taking party with a good length delivery that straightened after pitching on off-stump and trapped him plumb lbw. After Suyash castled Kuldeep Yadav with a ripping leg-break, Hazlewood fittingly ended DCs misery by rattling Porels middle stump with a pin-perfect yorker. RCBs pursuit of a modest 76 began with Impact Player Jacob Bethell flicking him for four, before Virat Kohli, surrounded by the familiar chants of Kohli, Kohli around the ground, got off the mark by lofting Dushmantha Chameera down the ground for a wonderful boundary. Then Bethell shifted gears with breathtaking suddenness - whacking Jamieson for a brace of sixes over mid-wicket fence, one of which was a monstrous 104m hit. Jamieson, to his credit, struck back when Bethell mistimed a loft and T Natarajan, sprinting back from mid-on, produced the catch of the evening - taking it cleanly over his shoulder and without touching the rope to dismiss him for a dazzling 20 off 11 balls. With RCB making the double of DCs power-play score in three overs, Devdutt Padikkal began by lofting Chameera over long-off for six, before whipping Jamieson over the square-leg fence for another maximum. Padikkal brought up RCBs fifty in 4.3 overs with a one-legged pulled four through mid-wicket, before carting him through fine leg for another boundary, and then produced the shot of the night giving himself room to loft over mid-off for six. After RCB ended the Power-play at 65/1, Kohli finished off the easy chase in style lofting Natarajan down the ground for six, before going on the backfoot to pull over deep mid-wicket for another maximum to complete a comprehensive victory for the defending champions. With RCB making the double of DCs power-play score in three overs, Devdutt Padikkal began by lofting Chameera over long-off for six, before whipping Jamieson over the square-leg fence for another maximum.

The damage had been inflicted much earlier. Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar swung the new ball all around to reduce DC to 8/6 in the first four overs. From there on, DC were always playing for survival with only Abishek Porel offering resistance via 30. With RCB getting an emphatic victory, it was a bruising defeat for DC both in terms of net run rate and morale. They now face the challenge of regrouping quickly, while RCBs comprehensive performance leaves little doubt about their growing momentum in the tournament.

IPL 2026: Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Sizzle As RCB Bowl Out Listless DC For Just 75
Impact Player Abishek Porel: Royal Challengers Bengalurus pace duo Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar ripped through Delhi Capitals batting through a devastating new-ball spell, as the hosts were bundled out for just 75 in Match 39 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Monday.

IPL 2026: Jamieson, Parakh, Chameera Come In For DC As Unchanged, RCB Elect To Bowl First
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Kyle Jamieson and Sahil Parakh have been handed debut caps by Delhi Capitals, who have also included Dushmantha Chameera, as Royal Challengers Bengaluru, unchanged from their previous match, won the toss and elected to bowl first in Match 39 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Monday. Defending champions RCB have five wins in seven games and are in second place on the points table. DC, meanwhile, need a win to keep themselves in good standing in the race to the playoffs after losing four of their last five games, which means they are in seventh spot. After winning the toss, RCB captain Rajat Patidar said, This venue is a high-scoring ground, it will not make much difference, we will try to put them under pressure in the second innings. The most important thing is that different players are coming up and delivering in different matches. We have played some good cricket and continue to carry that momentum. It is in the past; we are looking to play good cricket. DC skipper Axar Patel said Chameera, Jamieson, who previously played for RCB and Punjab Kings in the IPL, and Parakh, the teenage Maharashtra batter, come into the playing eleven in place of Pathum Nissanka, Mukesh Kumar, and Auqib Nabi Dar. Fast bowler Lungi Ngidi, who had an unfortunate head injury while taking a catch against the Punjab Kings and was later discharged after being taken to the hospital, is not available for the game after not being spotted during the pre-game practice session. I would have fielded if I won the toss. The ground dimensions are small, the pitch also gets better, so we would have chased as well. In the IPL, you score 264 and lose, but it is a long tournament. We had a good game with bat and ball; if we had held our chances, then the result would be different. You need to keep continuing to do the work, even our best fielders drop catches, so luck is not on our side, but we cannot sit around thinking about it. We have to strike in the powerplay, though Mukesh has done well, he needs a break, and we are bringing in international bowlers, he said. Mondays game will be played on pitch number five, where the Gujarat Titans made 210 earlier this season, and DC fell short by one run in a humdinger of a clash. In their pitch report, Danny Morrison and Eoin Morgan observed that with 63m square boundaries on either side, the pitch has a slightly drier look. They further reckoned it would be interesting to see if the ball spins and has some bite for the spinners.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: All-rounder Krunal Pandya reflected on his evolution as a cricketer and a person, highlighting how experience and success have shaped his outlook, while also revisiting key moments from his journey with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL. Speaking about his growth over the years, Krunal emphasised how his perspective has matured while his core values have remained intact. I have changed over a period of time, for the better. As you go through the journey, you learn. A lot of credit goes to my parents and the upbringing they gave me. But as a human being, who I am, has remained the same. I love cricket, still as excited and passionate to play. I have always been a family man. I love my family, kids, and my wife, who has played an integral part. My parents have been my pillars. When you taste success, two things can happen, either you go crazy or it makes you humble. I have taken the second route. The more I have grown, the humbler I have become, which is why family is important for me, and cricket is in my blood, mind, everywhere, he told JioStar. The all-rounder also looked back at his memorable debut for RCB against Kolkata Knight Riders, recalling the highs and early struggles before turning the game around with crucial breakthroughs. I was very excited to play my first match. The opening ceremony had just happened. I remember Shah Rukh sir was on stage and the crowd was chanting. I thought, Wow, if we win this match here, it will be fun. I bowled my first over in the Powerplay and gave away 15 runs. I was like, What is happening? KKR were 110 in 10 overs, they were scoring quickly, and I told myself that I had to make a comeback. In my next over, it was the 11th, I got Ajinkya Rahane out at deep square leg. Then Venkatesh Iyer was batting without a helmet, so I thought I would bowl a bouncer, and he got the helmet back quickly. After that, I bowled a quick second ball and he got bowled. That is something fast bowlers do, he said. Krunal further revisited a high-pressure clash at the Wankhede Stadium against his former side Mumbai Indians, where his all-round contribution proved decisive in sealing a memorable win for RCB. Wankhede has always been a special place to play. The atmosphere there is electric. We scored around 220, and at one point, it looked like we were winning, but then Hardik came in and scored a quick 15-ball 40-odd, which shifted the momentum. From the way the game was going, I knew I would have to bowl the last over, and I backed myself to defend. It was a special game because earlier I had got Will Jacks out on a bouncer, which was something I had planned before the IPL. The wicket was so flat that I did not know where to bowl. So, in my second over, after trying a couple of wide yorkers, I went for the bouncer, and it worked. That felt really satisfying. There was a lot of pressure in the last over. Santner was batting, and with a short leg-side boundary, it was challenging. I set an unusual field, kept a deep point, and went for the wide yorker to use the long boundary, and it worked in my favour. Then, to Deepak Chahar, I bowled a bouncer and Phil Salt took a good catch. I gave away just a few runs in that over, and we ended up winning the game, which was very special, he stated. On the emotional high of lifting the IPL trophy with RCB, Krunal reserved special praise for Virat Kohli and the franchises passionate fan base. The ones who deserved it the most are Virat Kohli and the RCB fans. Virat has been an integral part of RCB from the first season. So, to win it, and see him get emotional was special. Watching him cry was an emotional moment for everyone, whether you are a fan or part of the team. I remember when we played against Chennai and were going out in the bus, the love people have for RCB is incredible, and that day I said on the mic that whatever happens, we must win the trophy for the fans. I am glad I said it and that we were able to deliver in the final. The fans deserved this trophy more than anybody else, and obviously, Virat as well. I am grateful to be part of something like this and to contribute in a small way. Playing for the country is number one for me, but winning for RCB, that too after 18 years, and having my best season while contributing well, has to be one of my top moments, he expressed. He also spoke about his match-winning, unbeaten 73 against Delhi Capitals in their IPL 2025 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, explaining how understanding the pitch and pacing his innings played a key role in guiding RCB out of trouble. I am glad I said it and that we were able to deliver in the final. The fans deserved this trophy more than anybody else, and obviously, Virat as well. I am grateful to be part of something like this and to contribute in a small way. Playing for the country is number one for me, but winning for RCB, that too after 18 years, and having my best season while contributing well, has to be one of my top moments, he expressed. Also Read: Live Cricket Score It was around our seventh or eighth game, and I had hardly batted in the tournament. We were under pressure at that point. Virat was telling me, Just keep holding your shape, we will do it. In my first 17-18 balls, I did not score much, but I knew we had power hitters like Tim David, Romario, and Jitesh behind me, so if we took the game deep, we would be in it. Once I got set, I started playing my shots and everything fell into place, he reminisced. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: 2 Held For Sabotaging 240 CCTV Cameras At Chinnaswamy During RCB Vs GT Match
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: In a major security lapse during an IPL 2026 fixture, Bengaluru Police have arrested two individuals for allegedly sabotaging surveillance infrastructure at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium during the clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans on April 24. As per the FIR, over 240 CCTV cameras across the venue were rendered inoperable after critical systems, including Network Video Recorders (NVRs) and fibre-optic connections, were deliberately damaged. The incident led to a temporary surveillance blackout across key zones, including entry gates, concourses, and the D Corporate Stand. Authorities confirmed that backup security measures were deployed swiftly, ensuring the match concluded without disruption. A case has been registered at the Cubbon Park police station, and investigations are underway. The police have described the incident as a deliberate act of disruption. Preliminary findings indicate that the accused, 37-year-old Manjunath E from Hiriyur in Chitradurga and 19-year-old Abdul Kalam from Uttar Pradesh, were working under a subcontractor associated with IVS Digital Solutions, the firm responsible for the stadium's digital surveillance. The duo allegedly used a deactivated access card to gain entry into restricted areas, including the CCTV control room, where they carried out the sabotage. The complaint was filed by Aditya Bhat, an employee of the Gurugram-based AI surveillance company Staqu Technologies Pvt. Ltd., which is linked to the venue's monitoring systems. Evidence cited includes CCTV footage showing the suspects accessing sensitive locations, such as server rooms and connection hubs near the parking area. A complaint has been received stating that on 24.04.2026, during the RCB vs GT match held at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, more than 240 cameras went offline due to suspected deliberate tampering. Upon further investigation, it has been identified that two individuals Marajanath E. and Abrar Kalder, who are working in the subcontracting firm IVS Digital Solution, entered the stadium premises around 11:30 AM without valid passes. It is reported that these individuals intentionally mishandled and disrupted the NVR (Network Video Recorder) and fibre connections, thereby disabling the surveillance system. Additionally, they allegedly damaged all the initial setup works related to the installation. They also gained unauthorised access to restricted areas such as the server room and were seen moving suspiciously near critical zones, the FIR stated. The affected cameras covered several key security areas, including all entry gates, perimeter surveillance cameras, corporate boxes, all concourse areas. Furthermore, they reportedly accessed the switch box room and damaged nearby optical fibre connections. Since this incident occurred on the day of the match, it severely compromised stadium security and prevented the complainant from providing the required data or footage to the relevant authorities or agencies. Therefore, immediate attention is requested regarding this deliberate act of sabotage, and appropriate legal action is sought against IVS Digital Solution and the individuals involved, it added.
