Gaikwad Replaces Injured Parag In India A Squad For 50-over Tri-series In Sri Lanka

Lucknow Super Giants: Right-handed opener Ruturaj Gaikwad has been drafted into the India A squad for the upcoming 50-over triseries in Sri Lanka, starting on June 9. Gaikwad replaces Riyan Parag, who has been ruled out of the series due to a hamstring injury. The Mens Selection Committee has added Ruturaj Gaikwad to the India A squad for the upcoming tri-series in Sri Lanka. He replaces vice-captain Riyan Parag, who has been ruled out of the series due to a hamstring injury. Riyan's rehabilitation will be managed by the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE), said the BCCI in its statement on Sunday. Parag, who was named as the vice-captain of India A side for the tri-series, picked up the hamstring injury while captaining Rajasthan Royals in the later part of IPL 2026, leading to him missing their games against Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans. He looked restricted in his movement when playing in the final few games for RR, who bowed out of the competition after losing to GT by seven wickets in Qualifier 2 in New Chandigarh on Friday. With RRs campaign over in IPL 2026, Parag will now undergo rehab at the CoE in Bengaluru, a place where he spent some time earlier this year to recover from a shoulder niggle. Gaikwad, meanwhile, didnt have a memorable time while leading Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2026. While the side finished at eighth spot on the points table, Gaikwad wasnt at his sparkling best amassing 337 runs in 14 games at an average of 28.08 and strike-rate of 123.44. Gaikwad, who has represented India in both whiteball formats and was last seen in international action during the 2-1 ODI series win over South Africa last year, joins captain Tilak Varma and fast bowler Anshul Kamboj as the only members of the India A squad with senior mens team caps.

IPL 2026: Gujarat's Gill Banks On Home Advantage In Final Against Bengaluru

Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill on Saturday said he is not burdened by expectations of home fans and will make use of familiar conditions in the IPL final against defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Ahmedabad. Gujarat hammered Rajasthan Royals in the last play-off to qualify for their third final in five years, winning the title in 2022. One of two latest teams in the T20 tournament, Gujarat won the trophy at the 130,000 Narendra Modi Stadium in their debut season and then lost the final next year in 2023 -- both under Hardik Pandya. Gill, who is India's Test and ODI captain, took over as Gujarat skipper ahead of the 2024 season and now heads into his first final as leader. Honestly, I don't really get burdened by expectations, said the 26-year-old Gill. There are advantages, that's how I see it, there's familiarity when we play there, we know the wicket, we know the ground, so, we know what kind of cricket we need to play there to be able to win. Gill, who hit 104 in the second qualifier in New Chandigarh on Friday, has amassed 722 runs, putting him second in the batting chart behind Rajasthan's 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi on 776. Gill's opening partner, Sai Sudharsan, is third with 710 runs and the pair have laid the foundation of Gujarat's success. Bengaluru, led by Rajat Patidar, beat Gujarat in the first play-off to secure direct entry into the final. Patidar tasted success last year when his team and star player Virat Kohli won their first IPL trophy in their 18th attempt. 'Rollercoaster ride' Patidar will be in elite company if he wins back-to-back titles, feat achieved by only two IPL captains including M.S. Dhoni (Chennai Super Kings - 2010-11) and Rohit Sharma (Mumbai Indians 2019-20). I've never thought about what the other captains have done before and (whether I) had to compete with somebody or not, said Patidar. As an individual my journey has been a rollercoaster ride. I focus on the present, without bothering too much about the past and future. I am here to prepare and give the best in the final tomorrow. Bengaluru return to the venue they won the title last year after beating Punjab Kings in the final. But Patidar said they will play with a fresh mindset. You cannot keep talking about 2025 -- you have to be more in the present and do whatever best you can do to win the title, said Patidar. Also Read: Live Cricket Score As I said earlier, that we are not here with the mindset of defending champion. We have an opportunity to win one more title. It's a new season.

IPL 2026: Gill Hails Sudharsans Intensity, Targets Second Title With Gujarat Titans

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill credited his opening partner Sai Sudharsans unwavering intensity and consistency as one of the biggest strengths behind the teams success, as the 2022 winners prepare to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the title clash to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. GT enters a final at its home venue after beating Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets in Qualifier 2 in New Chandigarh, where Gill hit a majestic 104 and shared a 167-run opening stand with Sudharsan, who hit 58. I think in a tournament like IPL, when I first started playing, one of the challenges that I faced was to keep playing the matches at the same intensity, and I think that is one of his (Sudharsans) biggest strengths. You play so many matches there could be days where mentally you dont feel up to the mark or physically you dont feel up to the mark, but to be able to have the same intensity in all of the matches and be consistent in your preparation (and) in your routine is not that easy. He is someone who is very consistent in his routines, in his life outside of cricket... so that is what makes him consistent on the field as well, said Gill in the pre-final press conference. Sudharsan has crossed the 700run mark for the second successive season, forming a prolific partnership with Gill that has already produced 886 runs in IPL 2026. Another stand, especially if it crosses 54 runs in the final, would take them past the record set by Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers in 2016. We spend a lot of time in the IPL together on the field, off the field as well, and then we are in the Test team as well, so we have a lot of conversations. There are things that we talk about cricket, and outside of cricket. But I think there are many players in our team who also play for the country, and hopefully we are going to play together for a long period of time, and its very important for us to know each other well to have a great equation that automatically translates to onfield performances, added Gill. Gill also pointed to the importance of batting fundamentals in T20 cricket despite the rise in high scores this season. Sometimes the wicket tends to be a bit on the slower side. Then it is important to hit the gaps, still look to run well, because I think that is the foundation of any format you are playing. The team that plays less number of dot balls has a better chance of getting a better score, so yes, the T20 game has evolved, you see bigger scores, but the wickets have also gone a little bit flatter. I think that not many people talk about this. Before these two new teams (GT & LSG were added to the league in 2022), there used to be eight teams, and we used to play on similar wickets. (But)] Back in the day, in the second half of the IPL, we used to see 150, 160, 140 scores a lot more, in Eden Gardens and even in Bombay. In some of the venues now, because at least four or five times in a season, we get a fiveday break or a sevenday break, which gives the chance to play on fresh wickets, better wickets. So I feel cricket is the same, its all about the kind of wickets that we play on, the kind of grounds that we play on... If we play on challenging wickets, the scores are going to be similar, maybe a 510 runs difference here and there, but still I feel that cricket is pretty much similar, he explained. Gill himself has adapted to the demands of the format, raising his powerplay strike rate from 143 last season to 159 this year, making his credentials to re-enter the India T20I team strong. I mean, Id be happy to play if I get picked for the T20 team, but honestly, I want to keep working on my game. It doesnt matter what format it is. I want to keep getting better as a T20 batsman, as an ODI batsman, as a Test batsman... cricket is such a game you can never really get perfect, but obviously you can strive for it, and thats what I try to do.
