Chennai Super Kings: Spencer Johnson is poised to take centre stage for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their critical bottom-of-the-table match against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. Bowling coach Eric Simmons hinted at Johnson's potential inclusion due to Khaleel Ahmed's injury.

'Team Is Performing Well': Harbhajan Backs Kishan To Remain SRH Captain Despite Cummins Return
Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium: Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has lauded the captaincy skills of Ishan Kishan and advised the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) franchise to continue with the wicketkeeper batter as captain despite the return of Australian spearhead Pat Cummins.
