IPL 2026: Young CSK Batters Will Improve With More Game Time, Says Gaikwad
Young Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings captain (CSK) Ruturaj Gaikwad backed his young batting line-up to improve as the season progresses after his side faltered against Rajasthan Royals in their opening match of the 2026 IPL, adding that they will see them become better with more game time. CSK were bowled out for 127 by Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati, as they slumped to an eight-wicket loss. The wicket was slightly tougher, and we had to bat first, put up a score, and they had two really good new-ball bowlers. So that really put us on the back foot. In T20 games, we are not really used to playing on such pitches. So maybe we dont actually have that experience where players will adapt and play accordingly. But its a new group, a new batch, so you know they will learn slowly. The more games they get, they will get better and better, said Gaikwad in the pre-match press conference. Gaikwad also felt conditions at Chepauk could vary depending on the weather, with dew and moisture likely to affect the pitch at night, especially after pitches during the 2026 Mens T20 World Cup turned out to be batting-friendly. Regarding pitches, a lot depends here on the weather. And whatever World Cup games happened, they happened in February. So not much of dew. With the best weather and best conditions, usually the Chennai wicket plays really well. But, at night, sometimes, if there is excessive dew and a bit more moisture in the wicket, it tends to change a bit, especially the second half of the innings. So, not really sure about how it will go this year. We have to adapt accordingly and take the experience. We have seven games, and hopefully, whatever the pitch, we will try to make use of however much ever we can, he said. If the pitch is indeed on the flatter side, Gaikwad stated that young batter Kartik Sharma, who scored 18 from 15 balls on his IPL debut, can come good. Well, really confident with what skill set we have. Kartik is someone who has a really good six-hitting ability. I have not seen many right-handers who have that six-hitting ability. So he is one of the greatest additions to our squad. But, at night, sometimes, if there is excessive dew and a bit more moisture in the wicket, it tends to change a bit, especially the second half of the innings. So, not really sure about how it will go this year. We have to adapt accordingly and take the experience. We have seven games, and hopefully, whatever the pitch, we will try to make use of however much ever we can, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score In IPL, there is a lot of pressure from families, media, team members, everyone. So, to cope with that and to just get into that IPL performance mode, it takes time. It is about giving them time. When this batting lineup starts clicking, I think that is the one to look up, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: Everyone Got A Taste Of The Maturity He Has With The Bat, Says PBKS' Haddin On Connolly
Chennai Super Kings: Punjab Kings assistant coach Brad Haddin said young batting all-rounder Cooper Connolly showed remarkable maturity in his debut IPL outing, as the side prepares to face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday. Connolly struck an unbeaten 72 off 44 balls and held his nerve in a chase of 163 after PBKS suffered a middle-order wobble against Gujarat Titans in New Chandigarh. Weve known about Cooper Connolly in Australia for some time. We were pretty keen to get him early in the auction and spoke early in our preparation about bringing him in before everyone could get a real look at how good he was. I think everyone got a taste of the maturity he has with the bat and saw the way he controlled the innings in the first game. It was his first IPL game under pressure with things going on around him, but weve known about that ability for a long time, and I think everyone got the opportunity to see his skills, said Haddin in the pre-match press conference. Haddin also provided a fitness update on skipper Shreyas Iyer, who injured his hand in the previous match after being hit by a shot from Connolly. Theres no break (in the bone), which is a good thing. Now its just about getting the swelling down and getting the movement back in the hand, so he should be right for tomorrow, he said. Haddin said PBKS had worked hard in the preparation period to build flexibility in their squad and adapt to varying pitches. Weve got great flexibility in our squad. Weve spent a lot of time over the last two years trying to get that balance right so we can cover different surfaces in the IPL. On assessing the conditions at Chepauk, where the pitchs nature is flat, Haddin said, Well look at all the numbers around the surface here. Theres a lot of data on how it plays and whether you need to play an extra spinner. The wicket has become a bit flatter over time, and theres more grass on it at the moment than weve seen previously, so well probably make a judgment call after training today. But as I said before, were very lucky with the flexibility in our squad, so were not too worried about what surface well get. On pacer Xavier Bartletts progress, Haddin noted his evolution as both a bowler and lower-order batter. If you look closely at Xavier Bartletts game, hes improved a lot over the last 12 months. The wicket has become a bit flatter over time, and theres more grass on it at the moment than weve seen previously, so well probably make a judgment call after training today. But as I said before, were very lucky with the flexibility in our squad, so were not too worried about what surface well get. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Haddin signed off by saying PBKS was happy to get off the mark in the tournament with a win. Were very happy. Its important to get your tournament started in the right way. Theres room for improvement in what we did in the first game, but were very pleased with the way the game panned out in the end.

Santner has been a consistent performer for New Zealand in limited-overs cricket. In the 2026 Mens T20 World Cup, Santner picked up two wickets at an economy rate of 6.60 while scoring 120 runs at a strike rate of 142.85, as he led New Zealand to a runners-up finish in the competition.

IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch CSK Vs PBKS, Know All Details
Chennai Super Kings: Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on last seasons finalists Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 7 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 to be played at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday. CSK endured a disappointing campaign in IPL 2025, finishing at the bottom of the table, and would have aimed for a fresh start this year. However, their campaign began on a poor note as they suffered a heavy defeat to the Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati. After being bowled out for just 127 in 19.4 overs, CSK saw Rajasthan chase down the target comfortably in only 12.1 overs, losing just two wickets. In contrast, the Punjab Kings (PBKS) opened their season with a hard-fought win against the Gujarat Titans in Mullanpur. Led by Shreyas Iyer, PBKS restricted their opponents to 162/6 on a challenging pitch. Despite a shaky middle-order performance, Punjab managed to cross the finish line in 19.1 overs with three wickets in hand. Punjab Kings have enjoyed the upper hand in recent meetings between the two sides, winning six of their last seven encounters against CSK. That said, the overall head-to-head record remains perfectly balanced, with both teams winning 16 matches each out of 32 played. CSK had claimed victory in their first-ever clash back in April 2008, while PBKS emerged victorious in their most recent meeting in April 2025.

IPL 2026: 'Bowlers Get Confused When We Bat Together,' Says Jitesh On Pairing With Shepherd
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) finishers Jitesh Sharma and Romario Shepherd spoke about their on-field chemistry, highlighting how their contrasting styles make them a challenging pair for bowlers in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as they gear up for their second match to be played against five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday. Jitesh underlined the tactical advantage of their partnership, noting how their differing strengths complicate field placements for the opposition. I feel when we play together, the bowler might be confused. When I can use all the angles, he can hit the ball with power. So it's confusing for the bowler to place the field, he said in a video released by RCB on X. Shepherd, meanwhile, emphasised the confidence he derives from batting alongside Jitesh, crediting him for creating a positive environment in the middle. Whenever I'm batting with him, I feel confident because he always makes me feel like I'm the best. Also, he makes me feel like I can hit every ball for six. So that's something that, you know, he gives me the confidence to go there and play my shots, he said. Despite his own aggressive approach, Jitesh admitted that matching Shepherds power is no easy task. I can't gain the power that I want. I think if I try to gain that power, I might not be a cricketer; I might be a bodybuilder or something else. But I think it's very difficult to get his power, he added. Shepherd also praised Jiteshs composure and versatility, particularly in pressure situations, which helps him remain calm at the other end. Whenever you're batting with someone like Jitesh, what Jitesh does well in the end, you know, is hold his composure, stay calm, and you know, you have all the shots. So it's easy for him to actually go to one of his funky shots, you know, one of the scoops or something like that. In T20 cricket, that's all you want, he said. Shepherd also praised Jiteshs composure and versatility, particularly in pressure situations, which helps him remain calm at the other end. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Jitesh and Shepherd played a huge role in RCB's triumph last year.
