IPL 2026: Will Be Difficult To Keep Padikkal Out Of The Indian Team For Long, Feels Karthik
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik believes Devdutt Padikkals ongoing form in the 2026 IPL has been so assured that it will be difficult to keep him out of the Indian team for a long time. Padikkal struck 50 off 29 balls his second consecutive fifty of the season - and set the tone for RCB to post a daunting 250/3 against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, as they eventually won by 43 runs. The first thing that stands out is his determination. On a pitch like this, when runs dont come easily at the start, many batters try to force a big shot and end up giving their wicket away. Devdutt showed great courage to stay patient when the going was tough. Once he got that first boundary, you could see him switch gears. Hes playing proper cricketing shots and hitting the ball with distance. If he continues batting like this, it will be difficult to keep him out of the Indian team for long. He has scored heavily in domestic cricket and we know hes a quality player. Whats also impressive is the way hes stepping up as a leader in the Karnataka dressing room. Even at 25, he contributes with his ideas and leadership, and thats great to see, said Karthik on JioStar. Once he got that first boundary, you could see him switch gears.

He has scored heavily in domestic cricket and we know hes a quality player. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Because he bats in the middle order, he often gets fewer balls in a match compared to top-order batters. So, in the nets, its important that he faces enough deliveries and stays in a good rhythm. The rest of his game is already very strong. Over the last 1218 months, he has been one of the most consistent batters in the world in this format, added Karthik. Article Source: IANS

'Dravid Rarely Seen Inside': Kumbles Witty Take On Pavilion End Honour At Chinnaswamy
The Karnataka State Cricket Association: Legendary India spinner Anil Kumble shared a hilarious take on being honoured with the pavilion end at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium named after him, saying the pavilion end has not been named after Rahul Dravid because he either spent most of his time outside it or because he was rarely seen inside once he walked out with the bat. The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) unveiled the Anil Kumble End and the Rahul Dravid End ahead of the IPL 2026 clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings on Sunday, recognising the contributions of two of Karnataka and Indias finest cricketers. Kumble shared a light-hearted remark involving Dravid. Probably because Rahul spent most of his time outside the pavilion. When he used to bat, he was rarely seen inside, he told JioStar. The pavilion end of the stadium has now been named after Kumble, referencing his bowling style and long spells during his career. And I have been given the pavilion end, probably because it is close to the pavilion and you dont need a run-up to bowl from there. When I played, I bowled a lot of overs from both ends, so why did they give me the pavilion end?, he joked. Reflecting on the honour, Kumble admitted the gesture had exceeded anything he had imagined during his playing days. I never thought that there would be a permanent end at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in my name. Its a special feeling, he added.

Samson, Bumrah And Esterhuizen Nominated For ICC Men's Player Of The Month Honour
T20 World Cup: India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson, ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and South Africa batter Connor Esterhuizen have been nominated for the ICC Mens Player of the Month award for March 2026. Samson, who began the 2026 Mens T20 World Cup watching from the sidelines, wrote one of the tournament's most dramatic personal arcs once handed an opportunity to be in the team since the Super Eights clash against Zimbabwe in Chennai. He struck an unforgettable 97 not out against the West Indies in a must-win Super Eights fixture in Kolkata before hitting scores of 89 each in the semi-final against England in Mumbai and in the final against New Zealand in Ahmedabad. His efforts helped India retain the title on home soil, as Samson clinched the Player of the Tournament award. Bumrah, meanwhile, was central to every knockout victory India got on their way to win the title. In a semifinal where most bowlers conceded more than 9.50 runs per over against England, Bumrah was at his best to pick 1-31 - with his tight 16th and 18th overs proving decisive as England fell seven runs short in the chase. He then produced a four-wicket haul, conceding just 15 runs in four overs in the final against New Zealand to earn the Player of the Match award at his home ground. In all, Bumrah picked seven wickets at an average of 12 and an economy rate of 7 in Indias last three games of the competition.

IPL 2026 Preview: Evaluating the Potential of Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma
As we build up to the 2026 edition of theIndian Premier League, we will have a look at key personnel changes and how the teams shape up ahead of the season. In this analytical preview, Eoin Morgan - Chief Cricket Analyst, Parimatch, and Jonty Rhodes- Key Cricket Analyst, Parimatch, two of the games most respected cricket minds - deliver a comprehensive breakdown of the makeup of the 10 IPL teams. The Rs 28 Crore Question: Are These Kids Ready Prashant Veer (R) and Kartik Sharma (C) with Rahul Chahar (L) in CSK pre-season camp The Indian Premier League mini-auction once again brought out many surprises, but none more than Chennai Super Kings splurging over Rs. 28 Crores on two unknown commodities, Kartik Sharma and Prashant Veer. Eoin Morgans Scouting Report With MS Dhoni approaching the end of his career and Ravindra Jadeja traded to Rajasthan Royals along with Sam Curran in exchange for the prized asset of Sanju Samson, Chennai Super Kings entered the mini-auction with a clear plan of strengthening the middle order. By acquiring the duo for Rs. 14.2 Crores each, the Super Kings set the record for the most amount of money paid to an uncapped player, that too twice in the same auction. The mini-auction also saw Aquib Nabis efforts get a fair reward as he became the third costliest uncapped buy in the IPL auction history. Prashant Veer In the 2025-26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Prashant Veer made a name for himself whilst representing Uttar Pradesh as the left-arm all-rounder, picking 9 wickets in 7 matches at an average of 18.77, while also bowling at an excellent economy rate of 6.76. With the bat in hand, the left-hander scored 112 runs at a strike rate of 170, which proves that he doesnt need a lot of balls to settle in before firing off the big shots. Before the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Veer also made a name for himself while playing for Noida Super Kings in the UP T20 League. While his numbers may seem ordinary, Veers fitness and temperament in crucial situations have made him stand out from his other colleagues, and which is probably why the CSK management decided to take a punt on him in order to find the next Ravindra Jadeja. Kartik Sharma Kartik Sharma is a talent that we will be seeing more and more of in the coming years, as the youngster started impressing early on in age-group tournaments like Vijay Merchant Trophy and Vinoo Mankad Trophy. Despite impressing at an early age, Kartik missed the bus for the 2024 ICC U-19 World Cup due to the sheer number of talents India has been producing in the last few years and also couldnt make it to the 2025 IPL mega-auction. But, Kartiks Ranji Trophy debut for Rajasthan against Uttarakhand was phenomenal as he smashed 113 runs off 115 balls, and then went on to score a century on his List A Debut as well in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Averaging 40+ in his maiden Ranji Trophy season and 50+ in his maiden Vijay Hazare Trophy season at a strike rate of 118 makes Kartik one of the most exciting wicket-keeper batters going around in the country. Still in his teenage years, Kartik is a promising middle-order batter whose strokeplay has amused one and all across the cricketing world and the batter could be a long-term replacement for MS Dhoni who is approaching the fag end of his IPL career. As seen in IPL 2025, experienced players like Rishabh Pant and Venkatesh Iyer also crumbled under the pressure created by the amount they were getting paid for the league season, so it would be a huge challenge for these two young players to ignore the Big Money Label and focus purely on the cricketing side of things. Jonty Rhodes weighs in on spotting raw domestic talent I feel it is very important to nurture talent from a young age. I grew up in the 1970s and there was not a lot of coaching around at that time in cricket, especially for fielding, so we had to learn from our own mistakes on the field. I personally always wanted to give my best on the field and I learnt this quality from playing other sports like football, hockey, and tennis, and from my father who was a rugby player and did a lot for primary school sports back in South Africa. These days, fielding has emerged as the third pillar of the game and we need to instill the correct values and attitude in the players from a young age, because skills can be taught but the right attitude must be instilled and spotted from an early age. While teams like CSK have now understood the importance of nurturing young talent and publicly acknowledged and acted upon the fact that they need to bring in more young talent. Last season, we witnessed the Super Kings bringing in Ayush Mhatre, Dewald Brevis, and Urvil Patel and they have picked two more potential young stars in the mini-auction. The crucial thing in grooming youngsters is allowing them the freedom to fail, as we previously seen multiple times at Mumbai Indians, they have allowed a space for their young talent to flourish with the likes of Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Tilak Varma, and Ishan Kishan coming through at the franchise. Now, its upon these young players coming through to show a commitment to growth with the correct attitude and spread more positive energy and display more athleticism, not only in competitive matches, but also on the training grounds and in the simulation matches.

IPL 2026: They Just Stuck To A Bad Plan, Says Rayudu On CSK Third Straight Loss
Former Chennai Super Kings: Former Chennai Super Kings batter Ambati Rayudu believes the team stuck to a bad plan that hurt as they slumped to a 43-run defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their IPL 2026 clash at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. CSK endured a difficult outing with the ball as RCB piled up a massive 250/3, powered by a late onslaught from Tim David and Rajat Patidar, who added 99 runs in just 35 balls. The visitors then fell short despite a fighting chase, eventually being bowled out for 207. Analysing CSKs bowling effort, Rayudu pointed out that the issue was not merely planning, but the inability to deviate when things began to unravel. More than a bad plan, they just stuck to that bad plan. There was nobody to intervene and to just take some time off, take those 20-30 seconds, just make it slightly more slow and then guide the bowler with a message. I think they should have slowed it down a little bit, Rayudu told ESPNCricinfo. RCBs late surge, which saw them smash 97 runs in the final five overs, exposed CSKs struggles at the death.
