Probable Best Bowler Jacob Duffy produced a match-winning spell in the last game, and he is a good new-ball bowler. For CSK, Matt Henry is someone who can be a reliable wicket-taker in the powerplay, and he brings a lot of experience with him.

Please Do Not Slam Any Player: India Great's Humble Plea To CSK Fans Amid Poor Start In IPL 2026
Chennai Super Kings are off to a poor start in the Indian Premier League 2026.
Chennai Super Kings: Punjab Kings young star Priyansh Arya said that the main focus of both players is to win the match and not focus on individual records after his blistering knock of 39 runs helped the team register a dominant five-wicket win against Chennai Super Kings at M.A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday. Coming to chase a big target of 210 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, Punjab Kings openers Arya and Prabhsimran gave the team an excellent start as they scored 55 runs in just 4 overs, with Priyansh playing the attacking role while Prabhsimran supported the young star. Priyansh lauded Prabhsimran's consistency and said that his strike rotation keeps the pressure off. Prabh bhai is 'Mr. Consistent for me now because of how he performs in every match. I really enjoy batting with him as he keeps rotating the strike and doesn't let the pressure build. It doesn't matter who is doing the scoring; as long as the team benefits, that is all that matters, Priyansh said after the match. Meanwhile, his partner Prabhsimran revealed that they aim to give a good start to the team, and it doesn't matter if the runs come from which players bat. Our aim is never about scoring a 50 or a 100. The intent is always to give the team a start that makes the chase easier. Priyansh started brilliantly today, scoring nearly 40 in just 11 balls. I was struggling to find my rhythm early on, so the way he batted really helped the team and me, he said. Meanwhile, his partner Prabhsimran revealed that they aim to give a good start to the team, and it doesn't matter if the runs come from which players bat.

IPL 2026: Rashid Leads GT In Gills Absence, Kushagra Earns Debut As RR Opt To Bat
Indian Premier League: Rashid Khan will be leading the Gujarat Titans in the absence of regular skipper Shubman Gill, who has been rested owing to a muscle spasm, as the Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bat in the ninth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday. GT will be desperate to open their account this season after falling just short in their opening outing against the Punjab Kings. Despite putting up a respectable 162/6 with the bat, they were unable to defend it, as the bowlers failed to hold their nerves in the closing stages, allowing Punjab to chase down the target with five deliveries to spare. RR, meanwhile, come into the contest brimming with confidence following a commanding victory over Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati. Delivering a complete performance, they bundled out CSK for just 127 before wrapping up the chase with ease inside 13 overs. Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger led the charge with the ball, while young Vaibhav Suryavanshi caught the eye with an explosive fifty. Looking at past encounters, GT have generally enjoyed the upper hand in this rivalry, winning six of the eight matches played between the two teams. RR have managed two victories, including their most recent meeting in April 2025. Notably, the Titans also came out on top when the two sides first faced off in April 2022, making this an interesting contest to watch. Winning the toss, RR skipper Riyan Parag said, We are going to be batting first. We have to assess and adapt to different conditions. Hopefully, we will put up a good score around 210 and defend it later on. We want to be a team that can play in all conditions. I want it to be a team that is flexible. We don't want to play one brand of cricket. We don't want to be a team that only scores or bowls for 200 runs or 250 runs. I think, like I said, I want us to assess the pitch, play through all conditions that the IPL offers to us, and be good at it. So I think that's the message. Two changes. Tushar Deshpande comes in for Brijesh, and Shubham Dubey comes in for Bishnoi. Meanwhile, GTs stand-in captain Rashid Khan said, We wanted to bowl first as well. Fresh wicket and I feel like there will be some help for the bowlers initially, but we are quite happy with the toss so far. Gill has got a bit of a muscle spasm, hopefully he will be back soon. KK (Kumar Kushagra) is playing his first game and look forward to seeing him play. I think we played good cricket (in the last game). I feel that in the last game as well, it was a very close game, but there were some areas we need to improve our bowling, and also with the batting. And we spoke a lot about that in the meetings, and we just need to bring our A-game here and give our 100%. So I feel like we did really well in the last game as well, but we take the positive things from that and we keep improving our skills in our game.

IPL 2026: 'Opening Partnership Set Up The Game,' Says Ponting After PBKS Win Over CSK
Chennai Super Kings: Head coach Ricky Ponting lauded Punjab Kings (PBKS) opening pair for setting up the chase and also praised the bowling unit after their win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 7th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday. Ponting said the opening partnership played a key role in laying the foundation for the successful run chase of 210 runs in just 18.4 overs on a high-scoring pitch. Great game of cricket, the right team ended up coming out on top, it was an incredibly good run chase, one that I was pretty confident with at the halfway mark, but I think if we wind the clock back right at the start, I mean obviously a very good pitch, I'm really actually quite glad that the bowling group tried and probably exhausted almost every option, we tried everything, Ponting said in a dressing room video released by PBKS. He was particularly impressed with the aggressive intent shown by the openers Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh, which allowed the team to stay ahead of the required rate from the onset as the team scored 55 runs in just four overs. Priyansh, that's as good a ball striking as I think I've ever seen. That opening partnership, I know Prabh, you were probably a little bit disappointed with yourself tonight, because you, well I just spoke to you then, you probably got a little bit caught up in what Priyansh was doing, but one thing you need to know mate, you just need to keep playing your way, playing your game. You've ended up with 43 off 34 anyway, in an incredibly good opening partnership, that partnership set up the game, he added. Ponting said the early momentum gave him full confidence in the batting group during the chase. He also lauded Cooper Connolly for excellent knock. Koop's (Cooper Connolly) outstanding again, just coming in and playing your way, the intent to that run chase, I mean I know when you're chasing 210, you've got to go out and you've got to throw caution to the wind, but after the first six overs I wasn't concerned at all, I just had that much confidence in this batting group and the way that we were going to go about it, Ponting said. He also highlighted the contribution of the bowlers in a high-scoring match, noting that the team managed to stay in the contest despite a flat pitch. Ponting praised Yuzvendra Chahal who gave away just 21 runs and took an important wicket.

Why Are You Asking Me?: Kohli Responds To 'overseas Player' Tag With Humour
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli has reacted to social media chatter calling him an overseas player for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, taking it in a light-hearted manner during a fun interaction with content creator Mr. Nags in a video shared by the franchise on Saturday. Even though Kohli now plays only ODIs for India after stepping away from Tests and T20Is, he continues to be widely discussed among fans. The star batter, who has been spending a lot of time in London with wife Anushka Sharma and their children, has seen his stay in England become a talking point online. Some fans even joked that RCB are playing with five overseas players because of this. The joke comes from IPL rules, which allow only four overseas players in a playing XI. Since Kohli is often in England, some fans jokingly refer to him as an extra overseas player. During the interaction, Danish Sait, in his Mr Nags avatar, said, People are saying RCB are playing five overseas players, I am not understanding what they are saying actually. Kohli burst into laughter at the comment. The former RCB captain replied, I don't know why are you asking me? Ask the overseas players. I am not an overseas players. He then asked the host, Am I an overseas player? to which the reply was no. Last month, Kohli had also dismissed false reports claiming that he had asked for a chartered flight to travel between India and London during IPL 2026. The report suggested that he wanted to fly home whenever there was a gap of more than three days between matches. However, the former RCB skipper rubbished the report, sharing a screenshot of the now-deleted post on his Instagram story with a couple of 'laughing out loud' emotions.

Cryoablation: A procedure that treats abnormal heart rhythms by freezing the faulty electrical pathways in the heart. RF (Radiofrequency) Ablation: A procedure that treats abnormal heart rhythms by using heat energy to destroy the faulty electrical pathways in the heart. In a remarkable clinical achievement, Kauvery Hospital, Alwarpet, successfully treated a 71-year-old man with multiple co-morbidities and two potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias using image-guided, catheter-based electrophysiological interventions with high-density 3D electroanatomical mapping and energy-based ablation technologies. Kauvery Hospital, Alwarpet The patient had a complex medical background, including diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, prior coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, and an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). He presented with two critical arrhythmias: Atrial Fibrillation (AF): A common supraventricular arrhythmia associated with a significantly increased risk of stroke Ventricular Tachycardia (VT): A potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmia, for which the patient had already received a life-saving ICD shock Simultaneous management of both AF and VT is highly challenging. Conventionally, such combined procedures can extend up to six hours and often necessitate general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilationposing substantial risk in elderly patients with multiple co-morbidities. Following a comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluation involving cardiac electrophysiology and cardiac anesthesia teams, the team elected to perform a single-session, dual arrhythmia ablation under conscious sedation, thereby minimizing procedural risk. The patient successfully underwent: Cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation Radiofrequency (RF) substrate-based ablation for ventricular tachycardia Cryoablation utilizes controlled cryothermal energy to achieve precise pulmonary vein isolation by selectively targeting arrhythmogenic foci, while preserving adjacent myocardial tissue. The combined procedure was completed safely within three hours using high-resolution 3D electroanatomical mapping systems, real-time intracardiac navigation, and fluoroscopy-minimizing techniques.

IPL 2026: Gavaskar Praises Next Gen Arya And Mhatre For Fearless Batting Approach
Chennai Super Kings: Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar and Cheteshwar Pujara heaped praise on young batters Ayush Mhatre and Priyansh Arya for fearless batting approach and not dwelling on the past. Priyansh Arya ignited the chase with an impressive start, setting the tone for Punjab Kings pursuit of 210 against Chennai Super Kings. Brought in as a substitute, Arya made his intentions clear. He attacked Khaleel Ahmed right from the beginning. A sharp, straight drive for four, followed by a powerful six over midwicket, marked his entrance. While Khaleel managed some movement against Prabhsimran Singh, he still gave away 14 runs in the first over. There was no break in the second over as Arya attacked Matt Henry, hitting 4, 6, and 4 to reach 25 off just six balls. By the time PBKS scored their fifty in an incredible 3.2 overs, Arya had already piled up 27 off eight balls, easily finding the boundary. This was a bold, modern T20 strategy. Seeing a target of over 200, he went all out in the power play to take control of the chase. His 39 off 11 at a strike rate of 355 may not have been a match-winning innings by itself, but it clearly represented the role of an aggressive opener today: deal maximum damage early and establish a platform. Priyansh Arya is picking the length very early. On that pitch, whenever the ball was slightly short, he didnt miss out and often hit it for six. We saw that against bowlers like Matt Henry and Khaleel Ahmed, he is not missing the fuller deliveries either, which means the margin for error for bowlers becomes very small. He is strong on the leg side but also comfortable on the off side, and that makes him a very difficult batter to bowl to, Cheteshwar Pujara told JioStar.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score For CSK, Mhatre set up the target with sensation batting show, scoring 73 off 43 deliveries. On Mhatre's best-suited batting position and mindset of the fearless prodigies, Gavaskar said, I believe Number 3 is a good position for Ayush Mhatre. He has batted lower down the order in the Under-19 setup, but three could suit him well. He was dismissed first ball in the previous game but showed no signs of being affected by it. Thats the beauty of the 'Gen Next' mindset, they dont dwell too much on the past and focus on the present. Its a fantastic attitude. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: Two Innings Don't Define An Area Of Concern, CSK Head Coach Fleming Backs Samson
Chennai Super Kings: There may have been some doubts about Sanju Samson's start with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), but head coach Stephen Fleming is sure that the star batter will soon get back into the swing of things. Samson's form has come under fire after he scored 6 and 7 in his first two games of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. This is especially true after his high-profile move from the Rajasthan Royals and his recent success in India's T20 World Cup win. Fleming, on the other hand, dismissed the worries and supported the experienced batter's ability to bounce back strongly. He is not going to score every time. It's T20 cricket and he just nicked one today. But, he is in good form. He is training well. And when he gets going, he is often a match-winner. So, two innings don't define an area of concern, Fleming said after CSKs loss to Punjab Kings. Samson's first two dismissals, first to Nandre Burger in Guwahati and then to Xavier Bartlett at Chepauk, show that he had a rough start with only 13 runs in two innings. But there isn't much panic in the CSK camp because the team trusts his ability to turn things around after slow starts. Samson has gotten a lot of attention, but CSK's biggest worry is their bowling. Even though they scored a strong 209/5, they couldn't protect the total after Punjab Kings chased it down easily, thanks to Priyansh Arya's explosive start and Shreyas Iyer's calm half-century. Fleming said that the team could have done better with the ball, but when asked about their auction strategy, especially why they didn't spend a lot of money on experienced pacers, he was careful not to say too much. Im trying to think back to the auction process around all those names that you talked about were mentioned. I dont, I cant remember the dynamics. There was a large list of bowlers that we looked at and missed out on that might have been out of form at the time but are in form now. Trust me, we went over everything. I cant remember those dynamics, he said. CSKs squad overhaul has also raised questions about balance, particularly the lack of specialist finishers. But Fleming believes the modern T20 game has evolved beyond traditional roles. Im trying to think back to the auction process around all those names that you talked about were mentioned.

So you actually have to have players all the way through that are going to be aggressive and thats certainly the team that weve got. Keep in mind weve got (Dewald) Brevis on the sideline and youve got one of the best finishers in the MS (Dhoni) and theres some power there but Brevis is in the middle. Im really content with the pace that we can go, Fleming added. Article Source: IANS
IPL 2026: PBKS Captain Shreyas Iyer Fined For Slow Over-rate Vs CSK
Punjab Kings Captain Shreyas Iyer: Punjab Kings Captain Shreyas Iyer has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during seventh match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. As this was his teams second offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPLs Code of Conduct, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences, Iyer was fined INR 24 lakhs. The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, will be fined either INR six lakhs or 25 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser, IPL said in a statement. On Friday, PBKS once again proved why they are the masters of 200-plus chases in the IPL, pulling off the feat for the ninth time as Priyansh Arya and Shreyas Iyer dismantled the Chennai Super Kings attack. Arya set the tone with a blistering start, racing to 33 off just 9 balls as PBKS brought up their fifty in no time, while Iyer anchored the chase with a calm yet commanding knock, accelerating from 4 off 5 to a 26-ball fifty. In contrast, CSK remain winless after two games, and the bigger concern will be being outplayed in conditions that should have favoured them. Despite posting a strong 209 for 5 on a surface suited to their batting strength, their bowling once again failed to hold up, exposing a key weakness early in the season.

IPL 2026: 'Didn't Have Guts To Talk To Him In First Meeting' - RCB's Ostwal On The Kohli Effect
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Vicky Ostwal had a dream of sharing the dressing room with Virat Kohli. But when it actually happened during the practice sessions of defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ahead of IPL 2026, the left-arm spin bowling all-rounder froze. Neither on the pitch, nor with the ball in his hand. But in the dressing room - where the man he had watched and admired for his talismanic skills was suddenly just a few feet away from him. Ostwal, 23, is in his debut season with RCB after having spent three years with Delhi Capitals. He had heard all about RCB - the robust culture, good people in the set-up, and fans shouting Aar-cee-bee in chorus at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in the first game (and soon against the Chennai Super Kings on Sunday night). Ostwal was ready for most of it, but was not quite ready for his meeting with Kohli. For me, just seeing him for the first time was surreal. I didn't have the guts to talk to him in the first meeting. But as we practiced together, I spoke to him a lot about my tactical bowling mindset and how I should be bowling in T20 games and what balls work against him and what he does to counter the bowlers very well. Also, what can a bowler do to counter the batter, said Ostwal, in an exclusive conversation with IANS, facilitated by JSW Sports. It did not stay that way for long. Practice has a way of breaking the ice between stalwarts and youngsters, and as Ostwal began bowling to Kohli in the nets, the conversations started. I have had some great chats with him regarding this mindset and tactic thing and he has been helping me a lot about that. Whenever I bowl to him, I just try and have a chat after my bowling is finished. Then he gives me insights of what went wrong with you and what you could have done better and what you did good as well. I had some good healthy chats with him and that helps me a lot, he added. The arrangement that usually followed was Ostwal would bowl to Kohli and the debrief would happen right after that. The central idea, Ostwal says, from Kohli is about being proactive rather than reactive and thinking one step ahead of what a batter would aim to do. In things like T20, when you are bowling against a good player, you always need to be one step ahead. So, I used to always ask him - how can you be ahead of the game always? He used to give me insights like, Just see how the batter is playing and what kind of shots he wants to play against you. So, you observe that and you don't bowl the ball that he wants you to bowl. You bowl something different, back yourself to bowl that ball and then you deliver it and you try to execute it on that given time. By doing that thing, you can be one step ahead. If you think that you don't know, then you stick to your basics. You back your strength; you back yourself that whatever you have done up till now is the best. That's why you are here - so, you do that and then the batsman will play his own shot. If you think that you have got your batter in a zone where you want him to be, then you back yourself and bowl the ball that he doesn't want to play much. So, that I think helps a lot, especially in a T20 game, when you have to be accurate every ball or you have to be proactive every ball. So, that is the kind of conversation we usually have, he elaborated. Kohli isn't the only senior pro reshaping Ostwal, who terms being a bowling all-rounder as his best version. Krunal Pandya, his senior left-arm spin bowling all-rounder and multiple IPL winner with a reputation for rising exactly when the pressure peaks, has become another figure Ostwal studies closely. He knows what it takes to win the IPL and what performances you need to put in to win the game and how can you be clutch in those moments and how can you perform in crunch situations? He is a player who shines under pressure and that's what a good player can do for your team or that's what a team looks for in you. That is the kind of thing I want to learn from him and how can he do these kind of things under pressure. In crunch situations, he always steps up and brings his A game. So, that is something I really admire about him and that's what I want to learn, he said. What Ostwal finds most fascinating about Krunal, though, is not the experience, but bringing the imagination in bowling either a yorker, bouncer or even a round-arm slinging ball. He is very creative about those things. Even last year, we have seen him bowling bouncers - that is not very regular. So, he is very creative and he knows that IPL is such a game that even if you get one ball of your quota of overs (is a dot ball), it's just like gold. So, he knows that something or the other way, he will do something to trick the batsman into his trap and he will get a wicket or he can get a dot ball. So, I think he is very creative and he is very smart in those kind of things, he said. Away from serious cricket conversations, Ostwal has found an unlikely off-field friend in Venkatesh Iyer. Despite him being a very senior guy to me, he is very friendly and very open. He likes to have fun around with me and we get along well. We also play table tennis or PS5 together sometimes. So, him being a senior, I was a little hesitant talking to him in the initial days. But when I got to know him more than how good of a guy he is, I got along with him much better and then we started to hang out more. Ostwal's path to RCB was built across years of domestic toil. Being the leading wicket-taker in India winning the U-19 Asia Cup and 2022 U-19 World Cup is something he terms as one of the biggest moments of my life. It opened the door for Ostwal to be in DC's setup. But the years between that high and now were not all smooth. There was a difficult period of uncertainty as he tried to establish himself at the senior level. His answer was to go bag wickets and make big runs in the U-23 circuit, with Ostwal recently earning the MA Chidambaram Award for being the leading wicket-taker in the CK Nayudu Trophy in 2024/25. The U-23 games had a big, big role in my life because after the U19 World Cup, I did struggle for a year or so to make my mark in the senior team. But last season when I played U-23, I had a complete motto of dominating and being the highest wicket-taker in India. I had thought about that since when I started playing the games. I was very grateful and happy that I could pick wickets and was the highest wicket-taker. Also, I scored 100s and 250s and that's what gave me this full run for the Maharashtra Ranji team this year. That form carried into the Ranji Trophy, where he picked up 23 wickets in seven games, supplemented by eight and seven scalps in the Vijay Hazare and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy respectively. Playing all three formats every game this year was a big thing for me and that's the kind of thing that as a player you want from your association to do. I was grateful this year that I got the opportunity to play all three formats and got a complete run in the whole season. Also, I don't think I did anything extraordinary. But yes, I did well for my team. I picked some fifers in the red ball and was very accurate in T20 and one-day, where I was very good and economical. In the red ball, I also picked some fifers and was in the top wicket takers for Maharashtra. So, all in all, it was a good season for me. The question hovering over Ostwal is when he gets to play an IPL game and he spoke how it is a matter of grabbing the chance at the right time. I have spoken about this too a lot and everybody says that everyone has his own destiny. You just keep working hard and one day or the other, you will get your chance and when you get it, you just try and grab it with both hands. So, I am not rushing into things. I am not being fuzzy about it, but I just want to work hard and I believe that my time will come and whenever it comes, I will grab it with both hands. For now, the focus is entirely on RCB - a franchise he describes being a part of as a genuine blessing and a dressing room that challenges him daily, on and off the field. He joined a side that won the trophy last year. Now Ostwal wants to be part of one that wins it again. With Kohli in his corner, breaking down his game ball by ball, he may just be in the right place at the right time. It's a big blessing for me that I am a part of such a good franchise and such a good team surrounded by great players and great coaches. For now, the focus is entirely on RCB - a franchise he describes being a part of as a genuine blessing and a dressing room that challenges him daily, on and off the field. He joined a side that won the trophy last year. Also Read: Live Cricket Score There are many aspects to work on yourself when you are around these great people. So, it always helps me and I always try to have some conversation with all of them and try to improve myself. Yes, 100 percent that (winning the trophy again) is the dream and motto.
