IPL 2026: Nishant Sindhu Makes His Debut As GT Ask PBKS To Bat
Narendra Modi Stadium: Gujarat Titans won the toss and elected to bowl first against Punjab Kings in their IPL 2026 contest here at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. As the IPL enters a decisive phase, the points table is tightening, and every game is shaping the playoff narrative. GT head into this contest with growing momentum, having stitched together back-to-back wins, including an impressive outing against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Their campaign appears to be finding balance at the right time, with the addition of Jason Holder lending stability across departments and allowing clearer roles within the side. While GTs top order continues to anchor their batting with consistency, contributions from the middle order remain an area of concern. However, the presence of finishers like Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan has ensured they retain depth under pressure. At the other end, table-toppers PBKS come into this fixture looking to respond after their first setback of the season. Despite a strong start to the campaign, their previous outing highlighted lapses in execution, particularly with the ball in key phases of play. Skipper Shreyas Iyer will expect a sharper effort from his attack, especially after an expensive showing from Lockie Ferguson and a rare off day for spearheads Arshdeep Singh and Marco Jansen. Winning the toss, GT captain Shubman Gill said, We are gonna bowl first. We have been chasing well in the past few games and our bowling is doing well, so will continue that momentum. We spoke about our middle order finishing the game and the way Rahul bhai did was amazing. There is something in it initially for the bowlers. It is all about peaking at the right time, we are doing that and I still our best game is yet to come. One change - Sindhu makes his debut. Meanwhile, PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer said, It looks beautiful, some grass on the wicket and some bounce considering it is black soil. We have played on this before. Xavier comes in and Vyshak comes in on the bowling side. It is not frustration, it is an intense league, we have to travel and come up fresh in every game. It is just another game and we will put our best foot forward. Playing XIs: Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wk), Nishant Sindhu, Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Arshad Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Manav Suthar Impact substitutes: Rahul Tewatia, Glenn Phillips, Anuj Rawat, Kumar Kushagra, Kulwant Kejroliya Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wk), Nishant Sindhu, Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Arshad Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Manav Suthar Also Read: Live Cricket Score Impact Substitutes: Harpreet Brar, Vishnu Vinod, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Musheer Khan, Mitch Owen Article Source: IANS

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

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