IPL 2026: Rock Solid RCB Face Resurgent GT In High-stakes Qualifier 1 At Dharamshala (Preview)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru will carry the quiet confidence of defending champions into Qualifier 1 when they face Gujarat Titans in a high-stakes clash at the HPCA Stadium on Tuesday. The winner goes straight to the final in Ahmedabad on Sunday, while the loser will need to take the longer road to get into the title clash. Both sides ended the league stage on 18 points from 14 matches, with RCB claiming top spot on net run rate, as a reward for being the most consistently good side across the full league stage. When RCB cruised to a chase of 206 against GT in their backyard on April 24, the Shubman Gill-led side were still a conservative side stuck in the middle of the points table. From that point, GT have surged to be the best bowling side in the competition and now find themselves in the running to get their second IPL title. But they run into an in-form RCB who have got a lot of things going in their favour - captain Rajat Patidar is in good nick, so as Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Venkatesh Iyer and Tim David. Consistent returns from the new-ball pairing of Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar along with Krunal Pandya being frugal have helped RCB too. Meanwhile, GT's late-season surge, though, has been built on bowling. Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada and Prasidh Krishna have struck hard with the new ball, while Rashid Khan and Jason Holder have controlled the middle overs with quiet authority. An 89-run hammering of Chennai Super Kings in their final league game underlined GT's arrival as one of the most formidable sides in the tournament right now, though Tuesdays game will be the first time they will be playing an IPL game in Dharamshala, a place which favours teams winning by chasing as seen from the sample size of two games in this season. The individual duels will be worth watching closely - Kohli against Rabada and Siraj on a pitch offering extra bounce, and Hazlewood bowling to Gill and Sai Sudharsan in the powerplay where GT's top-order reliance makes those first six overs critical in deciding the first finalist of IPL 2026.

When Cricket Hate Crossed Boundary: Five Disturbing Cases Of Abuse Targeting Cricketers Families
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Cricket has long been celebrated as a gentlemans game, but in the age of social media, the line between passionate fandom and online mob fury has increasingly blurred. Too often, it is the families of cricketers who pay the heaviest price. Over the past decade, several incidents involving communal abuse, rape threats, relentless trolling, and mental-health trauma have exposed the darker side of modern cricket fandom. From India to Australia, prominent cricketers and their loved ones have endured severe online harassment after defeats, controversial moments, or heated rivalries. In response, players and their families have repeatedly urged fans to remember that behind every athlete is a real person with a family, and that rivalries should remain confined to the field. Here are five of the most disturbing examples: 1. Jessica Head abused after Travis Heads heated moment with Virat Kohli (2026) A tense on-field exchange between Travis Head and Virat Kohli during Sunrisers Hyderabads recent IPL clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru spilled far beyond the boundary ropes, with Heads wife Jessica becoming the target of online abuse. During RCBs chase, Kohli and Head exchanged words, though the exact nature of the altercation remains unclear. After SRH completed a dominant 55-run win, Head attempted to shake hands with Kohli during the customary post-match greetings, but the former India captain walked past him without responding while greeting other SRH players. The clip quickly went viral, triggering intense reactions online. Jessica later revealed that she, along with family members and friends, was subjected to abuse on social media. She added that similar harassment had followed Australias victories over India in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, the World Test Championship final, and the 2024 Boxing Day Test. It feels like a repeat of the abuse that happened after the World Cup. I woke up to my socials blasting we are fine but they are attacking my friends and family, Jessica told The Advertiser. Highlighting the wider issue of mental health in sport, she added: Passion will always be part of sport, but so is remembering there are real people and families behind the game. 2. Mohammed Shami targeted with communal abuse after Indias 2021 T20 World Cup loss (2021) Indias crushing 10-wicket defeat to Pakistan at the 2021 ICC Mens T20 World Cup sparked one of the ugliest episodes of online harassment faced by an Indian cricketer. After Pakistan comfortably chased 151 in Dubai, Mohammed Shami, who returned figures of 0/43 in 3.5 overs, became the focus of widespread abuse on social media. The criticism soon turned communal, with trolls targeting him for being the only Muslim player in Indias XI. Shami was labelled a traitor, accused of deliberately underperforming, and subjected to Islamophobic abuse that highlighted the toxic intersection of sport, nationalism, and religion online. The then-India captain Virat Kohli strongly defended his teammate ahead of the sides next match. Theres a good reason why we are playing on the field and not some bunch of spineless people on social media, Kohli said, condemning the trolls in unusually sharp terms. He also rejected the religious angle entirely, calling such attacks the most pathetic thing that a human being can do. Shami largely stayed silent during the controversy, but later hit back in an interview with The Indian Express, saying: Those who troll are neither real fans, nor are they real Indians. He eventually responded in the best possible way on the field, finishing as the leading wicket-taker at the 2023 ODI World Cup. 3. Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma and daughter Vamika subjected to rape threats (2021) Virat Kohli and actor Anushka Sharma have long faced intense online scrutiny, but the backlash following Indias disappointing 2021 T20 World Cup campaign crossed an alarming line. As criticism of Kohlis captaincy intensified, Anushka once again became the target of misogynistic trolling. However, the outrage escalated further when the couples infant daughter, Vamika, received rape threats and violent online comments. The abuse triggered widespread condemnation from players, commentators, and public figures, many describing it as one of the darkest moments in Indian sports discourse. Police authorities launched investigations into several threatening posts, and in November 2021, Mumbai Polices cyber cell arrested a 23-year-old software engineer from Hyderabad in connection with one such threat. The episode underscored a troubling pattern in celebrity sports culture, where the families of athletes, particularly women and children, become targets after high-profile defeats. What made the case even more disturbing was that Kohli and Anushka had consistently tried to shield Vamika from public attention. 4. MS Dhonis daughter Ziva threatened after CSKs defeats (2020) In 2020, MS Dhonis family became the centre of another shocking case of online abuse after Chennai Super Kings poor IPL season. Following CSKs defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders in Abu Dhabi, Dhonis five-year-old daughter Ziva received rape threats on social media. The threats surfaced on the Instagram accounts of Dhoni and his wife Sakshi soon after CSK failed to chase down 168, losing by 10 runs. What began as frustration over the teams performances quickly escalated into widespread outrage once the threats became public. The incident was condemned across the country by politicians, former cricketers, and civil society groups, many of whom described it as a new low in online sports culture. After formal complaints were filed, Gujarat Police traced one of the threatening messages to a 16-year-old Class 12 student from Mundra in Kutch district. The episode reignited debate over the growing toxicity of online fandom, particularly when abuse is directed at children completely removed from the sporting arena. 5. David Warner and Candice Warner after the Sandpaper Gate scandal (2018) The fallout from Australias infamous 2018 ball-tampering scandal extended well beyond the players involved, with David Warners family becoming a major target of public hostility. As one of the central figures in the controversy during Australias tour of South Africa, Warner faced relentless criticism, but his wife Candice Warner later revealed the immense emotional toll the scandal took on their family. In interviews following the episode, Candice spoke about the constant online abuse and personal attacks directed at them. She revealed that the prolonged stress and public scrutiny coincided with a miscarriage, which she linked to the emotional trauma of the period. The Warner family also faced repeated crowd hostility during matches. Spectators wore masks referencing Candices past relationships and directed personalised chants at her from the stands.

'Balance Across Departments One Of The Main Reasons RCB Qualified Early': Vinay Kumar
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India pacer Vinay Kumar said Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have a strong chance of winning the IPL this season if they continue their current form, adding that a backtoback triumph in the ten-team tournament by the mens team would be wonderful after the womens side won two titles, adding one of the main reasons RCB qualfied ealry for the playoffs is their balance across all depatrments. Table-toppers RCB will face 2022 winners Gujarat Titans at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala on Tuesday, with the winner set to seal their ticket to the final, to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 31. RCB have played outstanding cricket this season and, unlike previous years when they were heavily dependent on batting, they are now playing as a team; they look like a complete side. Their middle order, with players like Tim David, Jitesh Sharma and Rajat Patidar, has added stability and power, which is crucial in T20 cricket. The biggest difference, though, has been their bowling. Josh Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and the rest of the attack have brought discipline to the attack, which was key at a batting-friendly venue like Chinnaswamy. They stick to the basics and bowl stump-to-stump. Krunal Pandyas inclusion has also given balance to the side. That balance across departments is one of the main reasons RCB qualified early. If they continue to play this way and on finishing in the top two, they have a strong chance of reaching, and even winning, the final this year. Women have won two titles, so if men can do the same and win back-to-back, nothing like it, said Vinay to JioStar. On Bhuvneshwar Kumars role in leading RCBs charge with the ball, Vinay added, Bhuvneshwar Kumars role is extremely important for RCB, both as a bowler and as the leader of the attack. He has bowled brilliantly alongside Josh Hazlewood and Rasikh Salam, maintaining a disciplined, almost Test-match-like approach and lengths. With so much experience, I dont think Bhuvneshwar or the bowling attack will take any pressure in the playoffs. They will look to treat the playoffs like any other game and focus on executing their basics. Vinay also described Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as a fearless prodigy and advised bowlers to rely on their strengths to counter the Rajasthan Royals teenaged batters aggressive approach.

Australia Will Push Us To Our Limits, We'll Use That To Become Stronger Unit: Salima
Nations Cup New Zealand: As the Indian women's hockey team geared up to face Australia in an eagerly anticipated four-match friendly series, skipper Salima Tete admitted that the hosts will push the side to its limits which the Indian women will use to become a stronger unit. The friendly series marks a crucial point in the teams ongoing preparations for the upcoming FIH Hockey Women's Nations Cup New Zealand 2025-26. The highly anticipated action will begin on Tuesday at the Perth Hockey Stadium. Fresh from an encouraging display in Argentina earlier this year, where India held the world No. 2 side by levelling the four-match series 2-2 after losing two matches, the Indian squad enters this tour high on confidence. The squad spent the last few weeks grinding through high-intensity tactical drills at the national training camp in SAI Bengaluru, which helped the players sharpen their skills, structural play, penalty corner variations and overall match fitness under the watchful eyes of chief coach Sjoerd Marijne. Commenting on the emotions ahead of the tour, captain Salima said, The entire squad is really looking forward to this tour. Playing against Australia, especially on their home turf, is always a tough challenge, and that is exactly what we need at this stage of our preparations. Every match in Perth will be crucial for us. We want to head into the Nations Cup in Auckland with momentum and confidence. Australia will push us to our limits, and we want to use that to become a stronger unit, she added. The 22-member Indian squad features an exciting mix of youth and experience, with rising talents Sonam, Hina Bano and Lalthantluangi eagerly waiting for their opportunity. Currently ranked 9th in the FIH World Rankings, the Indian team is ready to pull out all stops to challenge their 8th-ranked opponents.

Australia Banking On Cummins, Hazlewood And Starc For 2027 ODI WC Defence: McDonald
ODI World Cup: Australia head coach Andrew McDonald said the team is planning around Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins for their 2027 ODI World Cup title defence, despite the trio missing the upcoming 50-over tours of Pakistan and Bangladesh. Cummins and Hazlewood will play the IPL 2026 playoffs for Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru respectively, while Starc will return home after Delhi Capitals campaign came to an end. I think people look at the immediate games and go, 'Well, why aren't they playing there?' But if you actually work back from 2027 and look at what we've got coming up, this is the last significant break that we get to invest into their bodies to set themselves up to get all the way through to 2027. We are planning for them to be there in 2027. I think there needs to be a lot of trust in what we're doing to be able to get them there. It's going to be a significant challenge, in particular for our fantastic (sports science and medical) team, they've done a great job over a period of time. I think there's almost a misconception that the players are sort of picking and choosing as to where they play and which series they play in. These decisions are made around the management of what is coming up with in the schedule - and they don't choose that. We work with them on it those players want to play. We just dont feel like it's the best time for them to play, McDonald told reporters on Monday. The three quicks combined for 47 wickets in Australias 2023 World Cup triumph but have not played an ODI together since November 2024. Though Mitchell Marsh is the stand-in ODI captain, Cummins is still the regular 50-over skipper. But Cummins has only played two ODIs since winning the 2023 Mens ODI World Cup and has also not played a T20I after June 2024. McDonald, though, assured that Cummins will be there to lead Australia in the 2027 ODI World Cup. We have done this before also in 2023. The biggest difference is we're four years older. I think we're well placed if we're fit and healthy. And that's going to be the biggest challenge. How do we get the players through that demand? How do we manage them, in particular our fast bowlers? We are getting older, so that's going to create some different management challenges. They've been incredibly robust, a lot of those players, and a few have had a few recent (injury) pickups, so it's something that we need to invest a lot of time into. Pat's still invested in the one-day team. It is just that we choose not to play him for the benefit of his body, and even on the back of what recently happened around his back injury, we know that that probably surprised us, so we know that we need to really make sure we manage him well to get through that, and to have the opportunity to bring that group together for 2027, and that's going to have some incredible complexities to it, he added. McDonald further said the absence of senior players opens opportunities for others, including all-rounder Cameron Green, to stake a claim for a regular spot in the ODI set-up. It's really where we position him and what role we want him to play, because I think he's got the ability to really play high up the order and low. He does have some power, we saw in that Top End series last year against South Africa, his ability to finish off that innings in the absence of Glenn Maxwell. So we had that conversation. We keep these things open experiment is not the right word but we'll look at different ways to play in the journey to the 2027 World Cup and where he fits exactly in that. McDonald further said the absence of senior players opens opportunities for others, including all-rounder Cameron Green, to stake a claim for a regular spot in the ODI set-up. It's really where we position him and what role we want him to play, because I think he's got the ability to really play high up the order and low.

delhi-call-for-siddaramaiah-fuels-karnataka-cm-change-rumours-shivakumar-reacts
As the Congress government in Karnataka under Chief Minister Siddaramaiah completes three years, the High Command has summoned the senior leader to Delhi, triggering speculations that a leadership change is imminent. This comes amid disputes between Siddaramaiah and senior leader D K Shivakumar over the top post. As per reports, the High Command call came when the Chief Minister was at a Congress event on Sunday to discuss the upcoming Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) elections. Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar has now broken his silence on the High Command's call to Siddaramaiah. Shivakumar said he was clueless about why Siddaramaiah was called to Delhi, as he had not told him anything. The Deputy Chief Minister said he is yet to receive a call from the high command but will head to Delhi if he is called. On asked whether a Cabinet reshuffle or leadership change is in the offing, Shivakumar said he was not aware of any such moves. As of now, there is no other information from the high command. I, the CM, and Congress in charge, Randeep Singh Surjewala, are holding a meeting today regarding the SIR and GBA elections. Apart from that, I don't know anything, he said. Meanwhile, local media reports hint that the Congress high command is moving to resolve the differences between the leaders, putting a permanent end to the leadership scuffle in the state. Speculations are that supporters of Siddaramaiah are camping in Delhi to pressure the High Command to let him continue as the Chief Minister. However, Shivakumar's supporters have publicly begun calling him the next Chief Minister. During his birthday celebrations in Mysore, a cake with the words Next CM DK Boss sent a political message that the Deputy CM could now head the state. Additionally, large posters and cutouts supporting Shivakumar have also popped up in Bengaluru, Belagavi, and several other parts of Karnataka. During his Delhi visit, Siddaramaiah could also discuss the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections as well. Four Rajya Sabha seats from Karnataka are becoming vacant, of which Congress can win three.

Bengaluru is set to get a respite from the intense heat, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that Karnataka's capital city will experience rain until May 29, Friday. As a precaution, a yellow alert has been issued for Bengaluru throughout the week. Light to moderate rain accompanied by thunder and lightning is expected across the city throughout the coming week, the IMD confirmed on Sunday. The weather office credited a cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal for the sudden change in weather conditions. This cyclonic circulation has created favourable conditions for widespread and continuous rainfall in Bengaluru, IMD officials reportedly said. On Monday, Bengaluru is expected to experience cloudy skies from the afternoon hours, with strong winds blowing at speeds of 40 to 50 km/h in some areas. The maximum and minimum temperatures in Bengaluru are likely to be around 32C and 22C respectively, TV9 Kannada said in a report. The maximum temperature, which had earlier averaged around 34C, has now dropped below 30C in many places, the report added. Karnataka weather news Apart from Bengaluru, yellow alerts have also been issued until May 29 for most districts in North Interior Karnataka, Coastal Karnataka, and South Interior Karnataka by the IMD. In addition, a northsouth trough extending from southern Bihar through Jharkhand and Odisha to the north coast of Andhra Pradesh has also contributed to the weather changes. However, several states grappled with scorching heat on Sunday, with Brahmapuri in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra emerging as the hottest place in the country at 47.2 degrees Celsius. Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 43.6 degrees Celsius, 3.4 notches above the seasonal average.

Table toppers RCBs bid for back-to-back IPL titles will face a stern test against GTs in-form and disciplined bowling unit in Qualifier 1, especially with a direct berth in the final, to be played in Ahmedabad on May 31, on the line. Both Kohli (557 runs) and Gill (616 runs) have been in good touch with the bat for their respective teams. Whoever wins the Powerplay in the first innings will go on to win the match. That is my belief. Both GT and RCB have strong batting lineups and quality bowling attacks. This is going to be a tight contest. Both teams are in great form and carrying winning momentum into the playoffs. Each side has match-winners who can change the game in a matter of overs. One team has Virat Kohli, the other has Shubman Gill. Both are in red-hot form. If the openers can get through the first six overs without much damage and put up 60 or 70 runs, it puts the opposition under immediate pressure. In big games, early momentum is everything. The battle between Kohli and Gill could decide the outcome. Whichever batter scores more runs and stays longer at the crease will likely take his team through. In playoff cricket, it often comes down to which superstar steps up when it matters most, Doull said on Star Sports. On RCBs opening combination, Doull stated the side should stick with Venkatesh Iyer as the opener alongside Kohli, though Phil Salt has rejoined the team after recovering from a finger injury. I would stick with Venkatesh Iyer as the opener alongside Virat Kohli. Phil Salt has been out for three and a half weeks. Coming back from a long layoff, especially with a finger injury, is never easy. In big games, early momentum is everything. The battle between Kohli and Gill could decide the outcome. Whichever batter scores more runs and stays longer at the crease will likely take his team through. In playoff cricket, it often comes down to which superstar steps up when it matters most, Doull said on Star Sports. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Yes, Salt has a stronger partnership record with Virat, but in cricket, you always go with the player in form. Form matters more than reputation, especially in knockout games. The biggest risk is bringing in someone who hasnt played competitive cricket for weeks. I would continue with Venkatesh at the top. Phil Salt is too good an option to have on the bench, but right now, Venkatesh deserves to keep his place, he added. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: KKR Still Need To Address A Few Gaps Heading Into Next Season, Says Dasgupta
Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta has said that Kolkata Knight Riders, despite staging a late fightback in IPL 2026, still need to address a few obvious gaps in their squad heading into next season. Dasguptas comments come after KKR ended the season with a 40-run loss to Delhi Capitals at the Eden Gardens on Sunday evening. After a disastrous start to the season in which KKR lost their first six games, the three-time winners scripted a remarkable turnaround by winning six of their next seven matches. But Rajasthan Royals beating Mumbai Indians by 30 runs meant KKR were knocked out of the competition and they ended their season with a defeat giving them a seventh-place finish on the points table. Kolkata Knight Riders had a difficult season in many ways, especially with the unavailability of several players during the first half of the tournament, particularly in the bowling department. That made it challenging for them to settle on the right balance early on. At the same time, some of their key players, including Rinku Singh and Ajinkya Rahane, took time to find rhythm, and the team struggled badly in the opening phase of the season. But to their credit, they staged a strong comeback later on and there were positives to take away, Varun Chakaravarthy returning strongly after missing a couple of games was one of them. Even so, there are still a few obvious gaps in the squad that they will need to address heading into next season, Dasgupta said on JioHotstar. Looking ahead to Qualifier 1 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans, to be staged at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala on Tuesday, Dasgupta underlined the importance power-play deciding who will book their ticket to the final, to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 31. But to their credit, they staged a strong comeback later on and there were positives to take away, Varun Chakaravarthy returning strongly after missing a couple of games was one of them. Even so, there are still a few obvious gaps in the squad that they will need to address heading into next season, Dasgupta said on JioHotstar.

Travis Head And Wife Jessica Suffer Online Abuse After Virat Kohli Spat
Travis Head and his wife Jessica have been subjected to a barrage of online abuse after the Australian cricketer was embroiled in a spat with India great Virat Kohli during an IPL match. The players clashed during the T20 match between Head's Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kohli's Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday. Heated words were exchanged between the two before Kohli was dismissed for 15 and his team slumped to a 55-run defeat. As the two sets of players lined up for the post-game handshakes, Kohli ignored Head's outstretched arm but shook hands with the other players. The Instagram accounts for Head and Jessica have since been flooded with abusive comments, apparently from fans of the former India captain. Jessica told The Advertiser newspaper that her friends and family had also received hateful private messages. I woke up to my socials blasting... we are fine but they are attacking my friends and family, she said Monday, according to the reports. Passion will always be part of sport, but so is remembering there are real people and families behind the game. Hopefully this encourages more kindness, and support for one another.

Twisha Sharma, the 33-year-old woman who died by hanging in Bhopal just five months into her marriage, reportedly had planned to meet her brother on May 15. Sharma, however, was found dead on May 12. An official who spoke to Hindustan Times said that Sharma was planning to travel to Ajmer. She was scheduled to travel to Ajmer on May 15, where her brother, Major Harshit Sharma, is posted. We are examining why she took such an extreme step despite having travel plans, the official said. Her family also alleged that Samarth Singh refused to let her go to Ajmer despite her ticket being booked after they had a dispute. Samarth Singh, who was arrested nine days after the investigations began, told police that Twishas behaviour changed after April 17, when her pregnancy was confirmed.
