IPL 2026: 'Bowling Had An Off-day Today,' Says CSK Skipper Gaikwad
Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad admitted that Chennai Super Kings endured an off-day with the ball after their seven-wicket defeat to Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow on Friday, but insisted the five-time champions still remain firmly in the hunt for an IPL 2026 playoff berth. CSK find themselves in a precarious position of having 12 points from 12 matches. They are already in must-win territory for the remainder of their league encounters and have to be dependent on other results going their way as well. Having already been knocked out,LSG gaveChennai a major setback with a ruthless chase that was piloted by the duo of Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis. Taking lessons from this loss, Gaikwad admitted that the bowlers could not stick to the plans consistently. Bowling had an off-day today, Gaikwad said after the match. The first challenge is getting to Chennai and make sure we improve on the areas we need to improve, and then adapt and assess the conditions [in the remaining two league games]. Despite the setback, the CSK captain maintained that qualification remains achievable and refused to panic over the teams position in the points table. It is simple [playoff hopes], nothing complicated, Gaikwad said. Nothing to worry about, just ensure we have a good day and hope that we turn things around. CSK put up a good score given they felt this would be a much lower-scoring game. But once LSG's aggressive intent came through it was difficult for CSK to stem the run rate. Gaikwad believed the pitch gave enough assistance to the pacemen but it was a credit to the Lucknow batters that they managed to pick their scoring chances. There was a bit of something for the fast bowlers. Found it difficult to hit it off a hard length, he explained. We were looking at 160-170, and got 180. Nothing much better we could have done from a batting point of view. Marsh and Inglis added a dominant opening stand that effectively killed the chase early, with both batters taking on the short-ball strategy employed by Chennais bowlers. Gaikwad said CSK had specific plans against the two overseas batters but admitted the execution fell short under pressure. They (LSG) batted well and played some extraordinary shots, Gaikwad said. We were looking [to bowl the short ball] but [Josh] Inglis played differently in the last game, and Marsh plays the short ball well, so we were trying to hit a hard length. They (LSG) batted well and played some extraordinary shots, Gaikwad said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Sometimes the opposition can play good cricket than you, and you have to accept it.

IPL 2026: Why Not Try Players Who Have Not Played Much, Reveals Pant On Skipping Bat Vs CSK
Lucknow Super Giants: Rishabh Pant has revealed that he deliberately chose not to bat during Lucknow Super Giants successful chase against Chennai Super Kings in Lucknow, saying the decision was taken to give opportunities to players who had not received enough game time in IPL 2026. Padded up in the dugout and looking ready to bat, Pant was a surprise absentee even after LSG lost three wickets in quick succession after cruising to 135 for no loss in the 12th over in the chase of 188. Nicholas Pooran, instead, came in at No. 3 followed by Abdul Samad and Mukul Choudhary as Lucknow eventually completed the chase comfortably with seven wickets in hand. The decision came after discussions in the team management after the match explained the decision, Pant said. See, I was ready to bat and the idea came up, Pant said at the post-match presentation. I was in the dressing room. The idea came in: why not try players who have not played much, they haven't got much chances, and that was the idea. Pant admitted he was initially uncertain about staying back despite wanting to be involved in the middle. I was thinking again and again, should I do it or not, because I still wanted to be out there in the field. But you know, sometimes you have to respect some things for the think tank. The move seemed a bit controversial considering Pant has batted at the top throughout the season. The left-handed batter has played 11 innings in IPL 2026 till now with 7 of those innings coming at number three, 3 at number four and 1 at number 3. LSG have tinkered quite a bit with their batting order before finding a stable opening pair of Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis who put on 135 runs for the franchise at the top against CSK. Pant added that the plan of the franchise from the beginning was to use the foreign batsmen in the top order. See, definitely that was the first thought, Pant said when asked about loading the top order with overseas players. That getting two overseas players to open the innings and Nicky (Pooran) batting at three. That was the idea. However, Pant acknowledged that injuries and inconsistency prevented the plans from fully working this season. Inglis missed a large part of the tournament, while Aiden Markram and Pooran struggled for consistency at different stages. Sometimes it's difficult when thought process is not being implemented all the time, Pant said. But at the same time, we take pride, and we are confident as a team. The only thing I would say is it's frustrating when you know what you have as a team, [but] just because of little thought process here and there and you can't implement things the way you want. Things can happen. Sometimes it's difficult when thought process is not being implemented all the time, Pant said.

Inside the U.S. Strategy to Lead the AI Economy
The United States new artificial intelligence framework outlines how policy, innovation, and partnerships are shaping the next phase of the AI economy CHARVI ARORA As governments around the world race to shape the future of artificial intelligence (AI), the United States is positioning itself as a major destination for AI investment, development, and commercialization. In March 2026, President Donald J. Trump announced aNational Policy Framework for AI, outlining U.S. priorities on innovation, regulation, and economic growth. According to theForeign Commercial Service (FCS), the trade promotion arm of the U.S. Department of Commerces International Trade Administration, the framework reinforces the United States leadership in AI, with a focus on innovation, competitiveness, and responsible deployment. An FCS official adds that it provides clear policy direction for industry and signals continuity in the U.S. approach to supporting AI development and commercialization. For global businesses and investors, the framework also signals how international partners can engage with the U.S. AI market as the United Statesseeksto expand its leadership in emerging technologies. In India, the FCSoperatesin New Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Chennai, working with partners to strengthen commercial engagement and deepen U.S.-India economic ties. Turning policy into action The framework builds on earlier efforts to gather industry input and shape implementation. In combination with the Request for Information (RFI) issued in October 2025 and the Call for Proposals (CFP) launched in April 2026 under the AI Exports Program, the framework reflects a phased effort to engage industry and translate policy goals into real-world actions, the FCS official explains. The official adds that the approach is also intended to create greater clarity for companies looking to engage with the U.S. market. A more streamlined U.S. approach to AI policy provides greater clarity and predictability for companies engaging with the U.S. market, helping create a stableenvironment for investment, entry, and expansion. It would also encourage deeper commercial engagement with U.S. industry, including participation in technology partnerships and collaboration. Competing for global AI capital The framework is also designed to encourage investment and expansion in the United States. Greater policy coherence across these initiatives provides clear signals on U.S. priorities in AI. This supports confident investment decisions, fast innovation cycles, and strong incentives for companies considering expansion or scaling in the United States as a global hub for AI development and commercialization, the official says. Broader U.S. government initiatives are also aimed at helping companiesidentifybusiness opportunities in the United States. Through the U.S. Department of Commerce and its investment promotion program SelectUSA, global firms can access market intelligence, connect with state and local investment agencies, and explore opportunities across federal, state, and local levels. Since itsinception, SelectUSA hasfacilitatedmore than $400 billion in investment and supported over 270,000 U.S. jobs. The U.S. AIadvantage The framework highlights two long-standing strengths of the U.S. technology sector: intellectual property protections and access to skilled talent. Strong intellectual property protections and a talent base remain foundational strengths of the U.S. innovation ecosystem. Together, they support investment in research and development, enable commercialisation of advanced technologies, and ensure companies have access to a highly skilled workforce needed to scale AI innovation, the official says. The broader policy conversation also includes emerging issues such as AI-generated content, copyright, and digital replicas, as governments and courts continue to grapple with how existing laws apply to rapidly evolving AI technologies. BuildingglobalAI partnerships Beyond investment and innovation, the framework also signals how the United States wants to deepen international AI collaboration. For global partners, including India, the AI Exports Program reflects what the FCSofficial describes as a structured approach to engaging industry in U.S.-led AI innovation. The progression from the RFI (Request for Information) to the CFP (Call for Proposals) under the AI Exports Program creates pathways for international companies to engage with U.S. industry through consortium-based models and contribute to the development and deployment of full-stack AI solutions with global applications, the official explains. Looking ahead, the official notes that as the framework moves toward implementation, stakeholders should follow legislative and regulatory outcomes and how the AI Exports Program evolves in practice. Key areas include consortium formation, export facilitation mechanisms, and the development of standards and compliance expectations that will shape participation in U.S.-led AI ecosystems.

IPL 2026: Akashs Three-fer, Marshs Scintillating 90 Helps LSG Thrash CSK By Seven Wickets (Ld)
BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium: Riding on Akash Singhs fantastic three-fer, Mitchell Marshs brutal 90 off 38 balls and Nicholas Poorans late fireworks, Lucknow Super Giants managed to thrash Chennai Super Kings by seven wickets at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday. CSK had posted 187/5, thanks to Kartik Sharmas career-best score of 71 in T20s and an unbeaten 32 from Shivam Dube, after Akashs spell took out the top order on a fiery red soil pitch. But Marsh and Josh Inglis set the tone right from the start via a massive 135-run opening stand. Marsh was scintillating in hitting nine fours and seven sixes at an astonishing strike rate of 236.84, before an unfortunate run out stopped him ten runs short of reaching a fantastic century. After he, Inglis and Abdul Samad fell in quick succession, Pooran produced some emphatic hits to smash 32 off just 17 balls. He slammed one four and four maximums to help LSG reach with 20 balls to spare and dent CSKs playoffs hopes in a thumping fashion. Marsh ran after CSKs bowlers from the get go hitting three boundaries as Mukesh Choudharys opening over went for 15 runs. Inglis too joined in by getting a boundary off Anshul Kamboj and Spencer Johnson. The real carnage began when Marsh smashed Kamboj for four consecutive sixes and a four, as 28 runs came off the fifth over. By the end of the powerplay, LSG were cruising at 86/0. Marsh reached his fifty in just 21 balls by pulling Johnson for four and continued to dominate by hammering him and Noor Ahmad for towering sixes. Inglis played second fiddle by adding 36 off 32 balls before falling to Mukesh. On the very next ball, Marshs dismissal came in unfortunate fashion - run out for 90 after a straight drive from Pooran deflected onto the stumps post a brush off Mukeshs hand at the non-strikers end. By then, Marshs brutal knock had already broken CSKs spirit, though Johnson castled Samad later. Pooran, who had been quiet initially, exploded at the death. After Mukul Choudhary chipped in with handy boundaries, Pooran tore into Kamboj in the 17th over smashing finish the game in style, as LSG sealed back-to-back home wins. Kamboj endured a nightmare, conceding 63 runs in 2.4 overs, as CSKs bowlers looked bereft of ideas once Marsh teed off, and by the time Pooran applied the finishing touches, CSK and their loyal supporters were left shell-shocked. What had seemed a defendable, competitive total at the halfway stage was dismantled with ruthless efficiency by Marsh-powered LSG. Previously, Kartik overcame a sluggish start to hit 71 off 42 balls laced with six fours and five sixes at a strike-rate of 169/05. It was a dazzling knock where Kartik took on every LSG pacer after the top-order fell to Akash. Dube then brought out the big shots to hit an unbeaten 32 off 16 balls, laced with three fours and two sixes, while Prashant Veer also made 13 not out off 10 deliveries and ensured CSK posted a competitive total by getting 60 runs off the last five overs. Opting to bat first, CSK were off to a brisk start as Samson cracked three boundaries in the opening over off Mohammed Shami. Ruturaj Gaikwad too found the ropes against Akash, but the left-arm seamer struck back quickly. He hurried Gaikwad on the pull and had him caught at mid-on, while Samson couldnt keep a flick out and holed out in the deep. Urvil Patels stay was brief, as Akash had him pulling to deep mid-wicket to leave CSK in trouble. At 52/3, Dewald Brevis joined Kartik and the pair stitched together a vital 70-run stand off 44 balls. Brevis announced himself with a six off Akash and added 25 off 16 balls before Shamis short ball had him caught at fine leg. Kartik, meanwhile, grew in confidence with every boundary coming off his bat and his risks paying off. He reached his second fifty of the season off 35 balls with a towering six off Shami and continued to punish Shahbaz Ahmed and Prince Yadav with a flurry of boundaries. Shahbaz eventually ended his stay, but not before Kartik had given CSK the platform they needed. Urvil Patels stay was brief, as Akash had him pulling to deep mid-wicket to leave CSK in trouble. At 52/3, Dewald Brevis joined Kartik and the pair stitched together a vital 70-run stand off 44 balls. Brevis announced himself with a six off Akash and added 25 off 16 balls before Shamis short ball had him caught at fine leg.

IPL 2026: Things Written On The Note Just Motivates Me During The Game, Says Akash Singh
Lucknow Super Giants: Lucknow Super Giants left-arm pacer Akash Singh said the note he took out during celebration of his three wickets in the IPL 2026 clash against Chennai Super Kings are the things which give him motivation to do well in the game. Playing his first game of IPL 2026, Akash took out Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sanju Samson and Urvil Patel by using the short ball well, though CSK posted 187/5 on board. I know I express myself well and people tell me that too. But honestly, its about the environment you create around yourself. I spend time understanding how champions think and how champions work hard. My belief has always been simple - if your work ethic and mindset are strong, only then can you dominate. I think it motivates me. Theres no deeper story behind it. On that note I had written things like Akki knows how to take wickets in T20 cricket. It just motivates me during the game. Sometimes these things work, sometimes they dont, but if something helps me stay motivated and helps me perform better, then Im willing to do it. Thats what matters most to me, said Akash in a mid-innings chat with the broadcasters. The young pacer also said his approach was built on clarity and aggression with an aim to out-think the batters. My mindset is always about getting big wickets because when you come to the IPL, you shouldnt just come to play - you should come to dominate. That mindset is very important. If you dont think like that, then in a league like this where batting is getting stronger every single day, you will always stay behind. You need to stay one step ahead skill-wise, but at the same time the mental side matters a lot to me. If you dont dominate mentally in this game, you cant move forward consistently. Thats why my approach is always to dominate and honestly the batters name doesnt matter too much to me. I try to think like Im bowling in single-wicket cricket where execution matters the most. In those situations, your body flows naturally and the ball goes exactly where you want it to. So I focus on execution and going after big wickets. Obviously getting big batters out gives a different kind of happiness and if you look at my IPL record, most of my wickets are big players because thats always been my mindset. Asked on how happy he was with his spell, Akash said, I was happy, but at the same time when you are not playing regularly in the IPL, you have to keep pushing yourself constantly. Throughout the season and even in the off-season, I kept working hard, practicing and focusing on whatever was in my control. I try to think like Im bowling in single-wicket cricket where execution matters the most. In those situations, your body flows naturally and the ball goes exactly where you want it to.

IPL 2026: Kartik Top-scores With 71, Dubes Late Fireworks Lift CSK To 187/5 Against LSG
BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium: Kartik Sharma registered his career-best score of 71 in T20 cricket, while Shivam Dube produced late fireworks to take 23 runs off the final over, as the duo lifted Chennai Super Kings to 187/5 in their 20 overs against Lucknow Super Giants at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday. On a red soil pitch, Kartik overcame a sluggish start to hit 71 off 42 balls laced with six fours and five sixes at a strike-rate of 169/05. It was a dazzling knock where Kartik took on every LSG pacer after Akash Singh took out the CSK top-order quickly. Dube then brought out the big shots to hit an unbeaten 32 off 16 balls, laced with three fours and two sixes, while Prashant Veer also made 13 not out off 10 deliveries and ensured CSK posted a competitive total by getting 60 runs off the last five overs. Opting to bat first, CSK were off to a brisk start as Samson cracked three boundaries in the opening over off Mohammed Shami. Ruturaj Gaikwad too found the ropes against Akash Singh, but the left-arm seamer struck back quickly. He hurried Gaikwad on the pull and had him caught at mid-on, while Samson couldnt keep a flick out and holed out in the deep. Urvil Patels stay was brief, as Akash had him pulling to deep mid-wicket to leave CSK in trouble. At 52/3, Dewald Brevis joined Kartik and the pair stitched together a vital 70-run stand off 44 balls. Brevis announced himself with a six off Akash and added 25 off 16 balls before Shamis short ball had him caught at fine leg. Kartik, meanwhile, grew in confidence with every boundary coming off his bat and his risks paying off. He reached his second fifty of the season off 35 balls with a towering six off Shami and continued to punish Shahbaz Ahmed and Prince Yadav with a flurry of boundaries. Shahbaz eventually ended his stay, but not before Kartik had given CSK the platform they needed. Urvil Patels stay was brief, as Akash had him pulling to deep mid-wicket to leave CSK in trouble.

Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Prashant Veer has hailed the franchises support staff for maintaining a positive and stable environment through the ups and downs of the season, adding their backing for helping the players was key in regrouping after early blips. A win for CSK will help them enter the top four phase in the points table. Weve always maintained a very stable team environment, regardless of the results. Our support staff is exceptional; they never stop backing us. Even when we lost those first three games, there was never any negativity in the dressing room. We had total belief that we could turn things around at any moment. That kind of administrative and coaching support made the comeback much easier for the players, Veer said in the pre-match chat with the broadcasters. Veer, who also bowls left-arm spin, was CSK's Impact Player in their win over LSG at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. With him being included in their playing eleven, he is all set to play at the ground where he turns out for Uttar Pradesh in domestic cricket. The conditions in Lucknow suggest we might see some seam movement today. Ive played a lot of cricket here, and this ground traditionally offers something for the bowlers. Knowing that, we arrived two days early to acclimatise and ensure our preparation was tailored to these specific conditions. We feel very well-prepared for the challenge ahead, he said.

IPL 2026: As A Bowling Unit, It Is Vital To Stick To Tight Lines, Says LSG Pacer Shami
BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium: Lucknow Super Giants senior pacer Mohammed Shami said that sticking to tight lines during the powerplay overs remains the cornerstone of success for any fast-bowling unit. LSG, who are already out of the race for IPL 2026 playoffs, are taking on Chennai Super Kings at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium. In the modern T20 game, every team looks for an explosive start. As a bowling unit, it is vital to stick to tight lines. You must quickly identify the batter's weakness and consistently hit that hard length. Finding that specific area early is the key to containing them during the powerplay, Shami said in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. Reflecting on the surfaces in Lucknow this season, Shami, whos picked nine wickets in 11 games, said, Look, overall, its been a very good tournament with a positive response from the tracks. As a fast-bowling unit, you always hope for a supportive wicket, and weve found that here. I dont expect the pitch to change much; its behavior has been consistent since day one. Almost every match played here has followed a similar pattern, so I expect it to have consistent bounce. As a leader of the bowling attack, Shami explained how its like to mentor young fast bowlers. My first responsibility is to lead by example with my own over. After that, I try to give immediate feedback on how the wicket is skidding, whether its holding up, or if it's gripping. I stay heavily involved so they don't have to overthink the conditions. The best part is their eagerness to execute those suggestions. Ive really enjoyed seeing how the young bowlers this year are like sponges; they absorb information and aren't afraid to apply it in high-pressure moments.

You can't always control the result, but you can control the work rate. If you give 100 percent, or even 110 percent, you can walk off the field knowing youve done justice to the game, he added.
