IPL 2026: Skipper Axar Patel, David Miller's Fifties And Lower-order Blitz Keep Delhi Capitals Alive
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Delhi Capitals accomplished the highest successful chase in IPL history by overhauling 210 runs with six balls to spare against Punjab Kings in Match 55 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala, on Monday. A strong performance from captain Axar Patel, an aggressive innings from David Miller, and a bold late cameo from IPL debutant Madhav Tiwari. Delhi Capitals chased down 211 after facing early setbacks at 14/2 and later 138/5. The chase started poorly. Before this, the highest successful T20 chase in Dharamsala had been South Africa's 200 against India in 2015. In the IPL, Chennai Super Kings' 193 against Kings XI Punjab in 2010 set the record. PBKS opening bowlers seemed ready to defend 210 as Arshdeep Singh conceded only six runs in the first over, despite an edged boundary. The first blow came quickly. Playing his first game of the season, Shardul Thakur bowled Abishek Porel with a well-placed ball that knocked the middle stump out of the ground. Things got worse when KL Rahul top-edged a pull shot off Arshdeep, allowing Marco Jansen to sprint from first slip to make a spectacular diving catch ahead of Prabhsimran Singh. At 14/2 after three overs, DC was under significant pressure. Debutant Sahil Parakh briefly lifted the mood. After almost getting out on his second ball against Bhuvneshwar Kumar, he opened his account with a six over long-off off Thakur and later contributed a boundary in a 20-run fourth over that also included two fours from Tristan Stubbs. But Arshdeep returned in the third Power-play to dismiss Parakh for 14. The batter mistimed a ramp shot towards short fine leg, where Yuzvendra Chahal nearly dropped a simple catch before securing it. DC stood at 38/3 after five overs, but Axar and Stubbs began to build a solid partnership. However, PBKSs fielding mixed moments of brilliance with mistakes. Arshdeep dropped Stubbs at long-on off Ben Dwarshuis, while Suryansh Shedge later misjudged Axars shot at deep square leg. Eventually, Stubbs was run out after a mix-up, with Cooper Connolly making a sharp direct hit at the bowlers end. Miller then entered the game and, along with Axar, reignited the chase. Dew settled in, making the ball slippery, which led PBKS to change it after giving away 15 wides in 13 overs. Axar, who had scored just 44 runs in eight innings before this match at an average of 6.3, finally found his rhythm. He hit Marcus Stoinis for three consecutive boundaries, reaching a 28-ball fifty, and added a six off Dwarshuis as DC reached 113/4 after 12 overs. Arshdeep performed well, finishing with 2/21 after allowing only five runs in the 15th over, but Miller kept DCs hopes alive. He hit Jansen for a six and a four before Ashutosh Sharma contributed another boundary in a 15-run over. Chahal, trying to stop one of those boundaries, appeared to injure his left shoulder and didn't bowl for the rest of the innings. The match shifted again in the 17th over. Miller hit two huge sixes off Jansen, putting DC in a stronger position. However, attempting a third six, he top-edged a pull shot, and Prabhsimran made a diving catch near short third. Still, the game had one more twist. IPL debutant Madhav Tiwari displayed remarkable composure under pressure. After hitting a boundary through a backward point, he partnered with Ashutosh to score 19 runs off Stoinis in the 18th over. Tiwaris 18 runs off just eight balls changed the game and kept DC in the fight. Needing 17 runs in the final two overs, Tiwari started with another boundary before Ashutosh hit a six, only to get out immediately after. A no-ball boundary shifted the momentum again. Auqib Nabi finished the chase with a massive six, allowing DC to complete the highest successful IPL chase in Dharamsala and keeping their playoff hopes alive. Still, the game had one more twist. IPL debutant Madhav Tiwari displayed remarkable composure under pressure. After hitting a boundary through a backward point, he partnered with Ashutosh to score 19 runs off Stoinis in the 18th over.

Mahi Bhai Told Me To Stay Clear In My Mind': Urvil Credits Dhoni's Advice After Record Fifty
Chennai Super Kings: Urvil Patel credited a crucial conversation with former Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni for helping him produce his stunning record-equalling 13-ball half-century for his side against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026 The explosive right-hander lit up the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday with a breathtaking 65 off just 23 deliveries, smashing eight sixes and matching the fastest fifty in IPL history. Urvil also became the first batter in the tournaments history to hit six sixes within the first eight balls of an innings as CSK stormed to a massive powerplay total during their chase. After struggling to convert starts in his previous outings, Urvil revealed that a dressing-room interaction with Dhoni, who has been sidelined with a calf injury since the start of the season, helped him regain clarity and confidence in his game. When I spoke to Mahi bhai when I got out early in a couple of matches, we were sitting together in the dressing room and I asked him 'I'm getting out early, what should I do to convert the good start? He said just one thing, 'I don't have any doubt in your skill, whatever doubt is there it is in your mind so just stay clear and try to hit the right ball at the right place,' Urvil said in a video shared by IPL. The youngster said Dhonis reassurance removed self-doubt and allowed him to trust his natural attacking instincts. First and foremost, I will thank him for the wisdom he shared. I felt good and it was a good performance and I think he will be very happy, he added. Urvil admitted the innings carried deep personal significance as it marked his maiden IPL fifty, achieved in historic fashion. I was waiting for my first 50 in the IPL. And I was emotional because I scored 50 of just 13 balls. I was very emotional, especially for my father. I dedicated the 50 to him, he said. The Mehsana-born explained that despite getting out after promising starts in earlier games, his father constantly encouraged him to continue playing fearlessly. When I was playing for 2-3 matches, I was giving a good start and getting out. Only my father was like, 'Son, I like the way you are playing. Just keep playing like this. Whether you make runs or not, it doesn't matter to me. Just play like this.' I have always played for my father. He was telling me to play without any worries. He said, 'We don't want anything from you, we're happy,' he added. Urvil brought up a special celebration on reaching the feat as he took out a note from his pocket that read This is for you Papa... It all happened because of the blessings of Jogani Chehar Maa and Goga Sikoter Maa. The top-order batter opened up on the message written on the note he displayed after reaching the landmark. The note firstly read 'Dad this is for you' and then my god. I wrote a Thank You to my god that I am doing this because of your blessings. That was it. He further revealed that CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad had helped him quickly assess the batting conditions before the assault began. When I achieved the feat, Rutu (Gaikwad) told me that the wicket is good and the ball is coming well, it's just a little low bounce. Then I saw a ball, and when I hit the first six, I was sure that the wicket was very good. It is coming from a good place and if I get it in my range I will try to hit it 100%. That helps me a lot. The youngster said his approach was built around fearless preparation and clarity in execution rather than chasing records. If you look at it, in batting, I have practised fearlessly. I have done a lot of work on six hitting and I am clear in my mind that I will hit the first and second ball that I get. That is how I think. The youngster said his approach was built around fearless preparation and clarity in execution rather than chasing records. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I had in my mind that KL Rahul bhai has hit the fastest 50 in 12 balls (14 balls) but all I wanted was to hit my first ever 50 in the IPL and I was not thinking about being the fastest to it. That is why I tried to take a single a couple of times, he said. Article Source: IANS

Chennai Super Kings: Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh believes young batter Urvil Patel has a bright future ahead after the youngsters fearless strokeplay guided Chennai Super Kings to a crucial victory over Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026. Urvil produced a blistering innings under pressure, dominating one side of the ground and taking the attack to the bowlers despite challenging batting conditions. Harbhajan was particularly impressed by the clarity in the youngsters approach during the chase. The first six sixes seemed like he had decided to target just one area, cow corner, and he kept going for it. Some amazing hitting there from Urvil Patel. On a pitch where batting wasnt all that easy, the way he struck the ball was commendable. He is definitely one for the future, Harbhajan told JioStar. The former off-spinner noted that Urvils clean striking shifted the momentum decisively in CSk's favour at a stage when the match could have easily tilted towards LSG. Harbhajan also praised Shivam Dube for calmly finishing the chase with two crucial sixes in the closing stages. Then Shivam Dube finished the match with those two sixes. He didnt get much of a chance in the last couple of games, but when the moment came and two big hits were needed against a part-time spinner, he was not going to miss, he added. Harbhajan also praised Shivam Dube for calmly finishing the chase with two crucial sixes in the closing stages. Also Read: Live Cricket Score It was a must-win game for Chennai Super Kings.
