IPL 2026: DC Making Wrong Decisions Under Pressure, Kuldeep's Poor Form A Major Concern, Says Pathan
Chennai Super Kings: Delhi Capitals' poor decision-making when under pressure and Kuldeep Yadav's dip in form have emerged as the two biggest factors behind the franchise's stuttering IPL 2026 campaign, according to former India fast bowler Irfan Pathan, who believes the side has the firepower to finish in the top four but have failed to live up to its considerable potential in the ten-team competition. With the playoff race entering its critical phase, seventh-placed DC find themselves grappling with two stubborn problems chopping and changing in team selection and a baffling inability to win at home. Delhi have used 20 players this season, joint-second most in IPL 2026 alongside Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants. The chopping and changing has been most visible in the middle order, where as many as seven different batters have been tried from four to seven Tristan Stubbs (9 innings), Sameer Rizvi (7), David Miller (6), captain Axar Patel (6), Ashutosh Sharma (3), Karun Nair (1) and Abishek Porel (1) - leaving little room for role clarity or settled batting combinations. I think, last year as well as this year, Delhi was a team that was to be a shoo-in contender for being in the top four. If you look at the players, they are very experienced and well-established players in this team. If you talk about KL Rahul, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mitchell Starc, and even Lungi Ngidi, who did well in the World Cup, we all know that his variation gives a lot of problems to the big players. If you look at Miller this season, hes also there to solve DCs issue with a lack of experience in finishing games last year. But I think that the match against the Gujarat Titans, in which they lost on the last ball, will haunt them big time because, yes, it is not easy to take responsibility for any player and say that I will win the match, and every player wants to do that. But many times you take the wrong decision under pressure, Pathan, an expert on JioHotstar's 'Champions Waali Commentary', told IANS in a virtual interaction on Thursday. The selection inconsistency was on full display in the CSK game, where Karun Nair was drafted in as a replacement for Rizvi, only for the latter to return as the impact player once the former was dismissed. Compounding the selection headache is an alarming home record DC have won just one of their five games at the Arun Jaitley Stadium this season, against the Mumbai Indians last month, and the rot stretches further back. Since IPL 2025, DC have managed only two wins in ten home games, a record that raises serious questions about their reading of home conditions. Adding another layer to their woes is DC losing all three games while batting first, while their record in chasing stands at four wins from seven attempts. Their bowling unit has been the poorest among all teams this season, claiming just 41 wickets so far at an economy rate of 10.2. All of this is something DC urgently needs to address as they prepare to face Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday evening in a bid to keep their playoff hopes alive. See, I think two things have been a big factor for Delhi Capitals - one, I think decision-making could have been better. If we talk about the last game, winning the toss, batting first, and thinking that the conditions would get better later, was an issue. Especially when the match against RCB, a few days ago, on the same ground, they were batting first and were 75 out. That day, there was a weather issue, and in this match against CSK, it also rained, and there was a possibility of the weather being inclement. So you want to chase there, and you had even won the toss too. So, a little decision-making, I think, there was a little problem in that. Then, the availability of Mitchell Starc, not being there at the start of the season, was a problem. But I think they could have used their resources better, added Pathan, who picked 29 wickets in 46 games for DC from 2011-13 IPL seasons. Add to it, Kuldeeps form has emerged as a major concern for DC this season, with the leftarm wrist spinner conceding at 10.4 runs per over, picking only seven wickets and going wicketless in five of his nine outings. His overall economy of 10.4 is the highest in any IPL season, surpassing his previous worst economy rate of 8.7 in 2019 and 2024. The left-arm wrist spinner has conceded at less than 10 runs per over in only two matches (against LSG and RCB), while in seven games, he has gone above that mark. Secondly, Kuldeep Yadav not being in form, this is a big problem for Delhi because you depend on him, right? Especially on a turning track, where there was a little help in the pitch, and if you concede runs and don't even take a wicket, then it's a matter of concern. Look, hes a very good bowler, and there are no two ways about it. But going above 10 runs per over, for any team, you would expect much better performance from your main spinner. So these are 2-3 things, in which Delhi could have been much better. If it had been the case, then maybe their team would have played according to that potential, and they would have seen better results, added Pathan. On his experience with the 'Champions Waali Commentary' - a feed aimed at Hindi-speaking audiences that features more deliberate, in-depth analysis compared to conventional commentary - Pathan said the format was allowing for richer cricketing conversations. I'm absolutely loving it. Our camaraderie, especially with our other co-commentators, is that they have different opinions, and we also have different opinions. So the viewers get a different and fresh perspective, and in comparison to the normal, conventional commentary, theres a slight difference in its pace.

Featuring the direct participation of as many as seven leading higher educational institutions, all belonging to the Russian government, the fair offers as many as 10,000 MBBS seats for the Indian students. The rise in the number of seats reflects the growing demand for medical education in Russia, the only foreign country at present to fully comply with the National Medical Commission of Indias latest norms set for medical education overseas. (L-R): Mr. Ravi Chandran. C, Mr. Valerii Khodzhaev, Mr. Alexander Dodonov, Dr. Berezhanskiy Pavel Viacheslavovich Spot admissions for MBBS and other programs can be made at the fair, which is scheduled to take place also in many locations in Tamil Nadu.

There is no entry fee for the fair. For details about the programs and fair, students can call: 9282 221 221. The MBBS courses in Russia are designed to provide students with a strong foundation in theoretical knowledge and practical skills, preparing them to meet the challenges of a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. As the courses are highly-subsidised by the government, they are also the most affordable, with the total fee, starting from as low as Rs. 3.5 lakh per annum. Indian students who have cleared National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) and who have a minimum of 50% marks in the relevant core subjects/degrees (in the case of SC/ST and OBC students, the minimum marks is only 40%), can apply for MBBS courses in Russia. Tamil medium students can also apply. There are no pre-qualifying exams like CET, IELTS, etc. for admissions to universities in Russia.

Managing Director, Study Abroad Educational Consultants, the authorised Indian representative for Russian Universities. In his address, Mr. Valerii Khodzhaev said, Russian universities have a long-standing reputation of providing high-quality medical education in the world. Students from India have been admitted to Russian universities for the last 60 years. Russia continues to be the top choice for Indian students seeking medical education abroad, as Russian universities proactively adhere to the changing norms and guidelines of Indias National Medical Commission (NMC) to ensure that their MBBS programs are well recognised in India. Every year thousands of Indian students step into Russia to get prestigious, globally recognised and affordable education. With a comprehensive curriculum, experienced faculty, and advanced facilities, Russian universities offer a robust learning environment for Indian students pursuing medical education in the country . Talking about scholarship programs, Mr. Alexander Dodonov said, As in the past, the Russian Government's annual 100% scholarship programs will award grants to more than 200 Indian students this year as well. This will enable them to pursue Bachelor's, Master's, Specialist, and Postgraduate Programs in Russia's leading universities free of cost. The cost of higher education is relatively cheaper because it is highly subsidised by the Government of the Russian Federation. Our universities also provide assistance as many have special adaptation programs and support systems for Indian students. Mr. Ravi Chandran commented that, There are more than 300,000 international students from 200 different countries enrolled in the 600-odd government universities across Russia. By and large, medicine is the most popular area of study among Indian students who choose to pursue their higher education in Russia. Currently, there are about 25,000 Indian students studying medicine in about 30 Russian universities that offer M.D, a degree equivalent to MBBS in India. All the Russian universities adhere to NMC guidelines - including the latest one issued by it in November, 2021 relating to the duration of the MBB program and internship, curriculum, medium of instruction (English), among others. The institutions have made sure that the safety of Indian students and their education are not impacted by the external geopolitical situations . Moreover eight weeks of intense training offered every year by Academy for Foreign Medical Graduates, Delhi, from second year of study to final year is a promising feature that guarantees increase in pass percentage of students , he added. For more details and spot admissions students can attend All India Russian Education Fair 2026. They can furnish valid credentials supporting their eligibility to pursue Bachelors / Post-graduate degree programs for 2026-27 academic year, scheduled to start from September, 2026.

IPL 2026: Pitch Wasnt A Belter, We Adapted Quickly, Says Akeal Hosein After CSK Beat DC
The Chennai Super Kings: The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) spinner Akeal Hosein said quick assessment of conditions and effective communication among bowlers played a key role in their comprehensive eight-wicket win over the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Tuesday. Despite expectations of a high-scoring surface, Hosein revealed the pitch behaved quite differently, assisting bowlers who adapted early. Both teams saw the pitch and thought it would have been an absolute belter. Thankfully, we got the opportunity to bowl first and realised it was much more on the slower side and on the lower side as well, he said in a video released by CSK on X. CSKs bowlers made full use of the conditions, with Hosein returning 1-19 and Noor Ahmad picking 2-22 to restrict DC to 155/7. Its just about passing on information as quickly as possible and trying to make it as difficult as possible for the batters. For us, it was about staying on the stumps and hitting that good length. Going shorter didnt really work today, Hosein added. Hosein also highlighted the importance of early assessment when opening the bowling for the team in the power play. Getting the opportunity to bowl the first over, it can be challenging. Youre the first person to make the assessment on the pitch. For me, its about doing that quickly and passing on the information so the other bowlers can benefit. The West Indian spinner also credited his on-field communication with Noor Ahmad for immediate success. Case in point with Noor, it was about having that conversation on what lengths to bowl. Thankfully, we had that quick chat, and he got the wicket on the next ball. Its good to have that partnership and see him succeed. Chasing 156, CSK were powered by a superb unbeaten 87 off 52 balls from Sanju Samson, who stitched an unbroken 114-run stand with Kartik Sharma (41*), sealing victory with 15 balls to spare. Hosein heaped praise on Player of the Match Samson, hailing his composure under pressure, which helped the dressing room remain calm during the chase.

Indian Premier League: Former India cricketer Suresh Raina has showered praise on Shreyas Iyer, calling him a fearless leader who has consistently brought a fresh and aggressive style of cricket to every team he has represented in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Raina said that one of Iyers biggest strengths is his ability to adapt quickly and create a strong identity for his side, no matter which franchise he plays for. Wherever he has gone, whichever franchise he has played for, he has brought a different brand of cricket. He has been fearless as a Captain and has led from the front, Raina told Jio Hotstar. The former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter highlighted how Iyer has delivered results across teams like Delhi, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Punjab, proving his value as a leader. Be it Delhi, KKR, or even Punjab, they played the final last year after a gap of 11 years. You can see why he is a good Captain, because the communication off the field seems to be brilliant. He backs his players, he added. Raina also drew a comparison between Iyer and former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin, especially in terms of body language and the confidence they bring to the team. When you see him walk around with that swag, his body language reminds me of Azhar bhai.

'Credit To The Captain For Using Akeal At The Right Time': Boucher
Former South African: Former South African cricketer Mark Boucher lavished praise on captain Ruturaj Gaikwad for using spinner Akeal Hosein in the powerplay, which proved to be crucial in Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) dominant eight-wicket win over Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. West Indies' top bowler made a sudden impact in the game as he gave away just seven runs in two overs of the powerplay and also took a crucial wicket of KL Rahul, which halted the home team's momentum, and they eventually scored just 155 runs in 20 overs after losing five wickets for just 61 runs. Akeal Hosein made a big impact because he consistently hit the right areas and made full use of the conditions. There was a noticeable turn in the surface, especially in the first innings, and CSKs spinners exploited that really well. That early phase proved crucial; Delhi Capitals werent able to read the conditions or adjust their approach accordingly, Boucher told Jio Hotstar. There were also key decision-making moments, like not managing the strike effectively in the Powerplay, which could have made a difference. Credit to the Captain for using Akeal at the right time; it was a decisive move that shifted the game early, he added. Boucher also hailed Sanju Samson for remaining calm and composed during the whole chase and guiding youngster Kartik Sharma through his vast experience.

The wicketkeeper batter played an unbeaten knock of 87 runs and forged a match-winning 114-run partnership with youngster Kartik Sharma against DC, which helped CSK chase down the 156-run target in just 17.3 overs. Sanju Samson is batting at his peak right now, and what stands out is his game awareness. Hes very clear about which bowlers to target and which ones to respect. You could see that he was cautious against someone like Lungi Ngidi, but the moment a less threatening option came on, he shifted gears and capitalised. That understanding of match-ups is outstanding, Pathan told Jio Hotstar. The former all-rounder also lauded Samson's mindset of taking the responsibility and staying till the end to finish the game for the team. More importantly, hes taking responsibility to finish games, especially on tricky surfaces, and doing it consistently. Thats what defines a batter in top form, he added.
