Mukkamallas 51-ball 79, studded with five fours and four sixes, laid the foundation for USAs imposing total after they were asked to bat first. Displaying composure through the middle overs and accelerating at the right time, the right-hander ensured his side seized control of the contest. Reflecting on the opportunity to perform on a big stage, Mukkamalla said, It's always a great opportunity to represent the USA, and I just wanted to come out here and enjoy it, especially at this venue. I've always watched (matches at Chepauk) growing up, so I just wanted to come out and express myself. The batter also spoke about the atmosphere at the iconic Chennai venue and what it meant to him personally. It's incredible. As you know, playing in India is an incredible feeling, and just being here today in front of thousands was something that I dreamt of as a kid, he said. Despite his fluent knock, Mukkamalla admitted that batting was not entirely straightforward on the surface, particularly early in the innings when the ball offered assistance to the bowlers.

T20 WC: Mukkamallas 79, Ranjanes 48 Not Out Power USA To 196/6 Against The Netherlands
T20 World Cup: A fluent 79 by Saiteja Mukkamalla and Shubham Ranjanes 48 not out powered the United States to a formidable 196/6 in 20 overs against the Netherlands in their Group A clash of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday. Asked to bat, USA made a brisk start with Shayan Jahangir taking on Aryan Dutt in the opening over, smashing a 75-metre six to set the tone. Jahangir continued his aggressive approach, pulling Logan van Beek for another maximum, as the USA raced to 23 without loss in two overs. However, Kyle Klein provided the first breakthrough by bowling Jahangir for a 14-ball 20 as the batter missed a fuller delivery that crashed into the stumps. The USA reached 53/1 at the end of the Power-play, their joint-highest Power-play total in T20 World Cup history, with captain Monank Patel and Mukkamalla keeping the scoreboard ticking. Monank looked in good touch, striking elegant boundaries including a straight drive and a well-placed pull, while Mukkamalla blended caution with calculated aggression. The duo stitched together a 55-run stand for the second wicket before Bas de Leede deceived Monank with a slower knuckle ball, leading to a simple catch behind. Monank departed for 36 off 22 balls. Mukkamalla then took charge, reaching his half-century in style with a superb six over deep extra cover off Klein. He showcased a wide range of strokes, lofted inside-out drives, powerful pulls, and clean hits down the ground, as he accelerated through the middle overs. He found support from Ranjane, who provided impetus with inventive strokeplay, including a paddle-scoop and a towering 89-metre six over long-off. The USA innings gathered momentum in the final five overs. Mukkamallas 51-ball 79, studded with five fours and four sixes, ended when he miscued a pull off de Leede to deep backward square leg. De Leede was the pick of the bowlers, finishing with 3/37 from his four overs. Ranjane carried the charge at the death, hammering 48 off 24 balls, narrowly missing out on a half-century. Though wickets fell at regular intervals in the closing stages, including Milind Kumar and Harmeet Singh, the USA managed 48 runs in the last four overs to post 196/6. For the Netherlands, de Leede claimed three wickets, while Klein and van Beek chipped in with one apiece, but their bowlers struggled to contain the USAs aggressive batting on a good Chepauk surface. Ranjane carried the charge at the death, hammering 48 off 24 balls, narrowly missing out on a half-century.

IPL 2026: Riyan Parag Named Rajasthan Royals Captain
Chennai Super Kings: Rajasthan Royals have appointed Riyan Parag as their new captain for the IPL 2026 season, marking the beginning of a fresh chapter for one of the leagues original franchises. The announcement comes after former skipper Sanju Samson was traded to Chennai Super Kings ahead of the auction, bringing an end to his four-season tenure at the helm. A total of seven captains have led Rajasthan Royals since 2008, guiding the franchise to one IPL title and six knockout appearances. Interestingly, only Australians and Indians have captained the side in the tournaments history. Rajasthan Royals leadership story began with the late Shane Warne, who guided a young and relatively inexperienced squad to the inaugural IPL title in 2008. Across four seasons (20082011), Warne captained the side in 56 matches, winning 31, and shaped the franchises fearless, youth-focused identity. He held the record for most wins as Royals captain until it was broken in IPL 2025. Rahul Dravid succeeded him in 2012 at the age of 39, carrying forward the culture Warne had built. Dravid led the Royals to a third-place finish in 2013 and to the Champions League final that year. With 23 wins in 40 matches (57.50%), he remains the franchises most successful captain by win percentage and later returned as head coach ahead of IPL 2025. The captaincy then passed through Shane Watson, who led the side to the playoffs in 2015, and Ajinkya Rahane, who steered the team to a fourth-place finish in IPL 2018. Steve Smith later took charge, winning 15 of his 27 matches and ranking second to Dravid in win percentage among Royals captains. Sanju Samson assumed leadership in 2021 and became the franchises most successful captain in terms of total wins, leading the side in 67 matches and winning 33. He guided Rajasthan to the IPL final in 2022, their first since 2008, and two playoff appearances overall. In 2025, Samson surpassed Warnes records for most matches and most wins as Royals skipper. His subsequent trade to the Chennai Super Kings marks a new phase for the franchise as it heads into IPL 2026. Parag is familiar with leadership roles. In IPL 2025, the 23-year-old served as the stand-in captain for the Royals during their first three matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Chennai Super Kings, while Samson was recovering from injury and only cleared to bat. When Parag led the team against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 23, 2025, he became the youngest captain in Rajasthan Royals history and the fifth-youngest in IPL overall. In IPL 2025, he captained eight matches, achieving two wins and six losses. Parag is familiar with leadership roles.

T20 WC: Ireland Captain Paul Stirling Ruled Out Of The Tournament Due To Injury
The T20 World Cup Event: The Ireland cricket team has been dealt a massive blow as their captain, Paul Stirling, has been ruled out of the remainder of the T20 World Cup 2026 due to an injury he suffered during the team's first match in the tournament, played against Australia at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Wednesday. Cricket Ireland confirmed the captain's exit on Friday. The T20 World Cup Event Technical Committee have approved a replacement player for Stirling, with uncapped youngster Sam Topping joining Ireland's 15-player squad with immediate effect. Paul Stirling underwent an assessment and a scan after the Australian match, which has subsequently revealed ligament damage; as such, he has been ruled out of the remainder of the T20 World Cup. Paul will shortly return home for rest and rehabilitation, ahead of the home summer, Graeme West, Director of High Performance at Cricket Ireland, said in a statement. To replace Paul, we have called up Sam Topping, who is able to provide immediate cover as he is a short flight away in Chennai. Sam has been with the Northern Knights training squad and has been playing and training in similar conditions to Sri Lanka. The skill set he offers provides cover across a number of areas within the squad, which is important as Ben Calitz is also carrying a knock to his hand after the last match, it added. Topping is a left-handed opening batter who last year featured for Ireland A in their four-day match against Afghanistan A in Abu Dhabi. Stirling was fielding at cover in the 7th over of the first innings against Australia when he dived high to his right to take a spectacular catch to dismiss Josh Inglis. However, as he came down, he landed on the point of his knee on an area of hard ground. Going into the second innings, Stirling advised team management he felt he was able to bat and walked out to open with Ross Adair. On the first ball, Stirling dug out a full-length ball on leg stump to wide mid on and set off for a single. As he took a few steps, his knee buckled and despite successfully struggling to complete the single in obvious pain, the skipper was forced to retire hurt. Going into the second innings, Stirling advised team management he felt he was able to bat and walked out to open with Ross Adair.

T20 WC: Tim David Back As Australia Choose To Bowl Against Zimbabwe
T20 World Cup: Australia won the toss and elected to bowl against Zimbabwe in their second match of the 2026 T20 World Cup at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Friday. Travis Head will continue to lead the side in place of Mitchell Marsh, who missed out due to injury, while Tim David is back to the playing XI. Australia are coming into the contest after registering a dominating 67-run victory over Ireland in their opening match played at the same venue. Despite missing their top fast bowlers, Australia managed to keep Ireland in check, with Nathan Ellis and Adam Zampa taking four wickets each. The balanced bowling unit and smart batting adjustments helped them post a competitive total of 182 runs on a pitch that favoured slower bowlers and helped them start their campaign on a good note. On the other hand, Zimbabwe are also coming into the contest after a confident eight-wicket win over Oman in their campaign opener. Zimbabwe's opening match was all about pace, with Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava, and Brad Evans each taking three wickets to bowl out Oman for just 103 runs and then chasing the small target easily in just 13.3 overs with the help of magnificent innings from Brian Bennett and Brendan Taylor. After winning the toss, Travis Head said, We will bowl. Well, I mean, one eye is obviously on the cricket and the other on the fitness issues. But were used to a bit of chaos early in competitions like this. Weve had it before. Its a really good group, calm, and were in a good space. We played well the other night, so our challenge now is to back that up and put in another strong performance. I think its about dealing with the conditions. I felt we did that really, really well. We want to keep the pressure on the run rate. We probably did it in a different way than we naturally do, but thats down to the wicket conditions. Its a different wicket today as well, so its about summing up the conditions, adapting well, and playing smart cricket. No, (Smith) hes not here yet. He played golf a couple of days ago. I think hes in Chennai. Itll be nice having him around, and hopefully the skipper gets fit soon. Two changes for us - Connolly and Barrett sit out, Ben Dwarshius and Tim David are back into the XI, he added. While after losing the toss Raza said, Not a bad thing to bat first, the pitch might get slower and we've picked an extra spinner. The bounce here on different wickets is a gap of around 13m, so we need to keep our discipline and hit the top of the stumps. We don't have too many chances to play against Australia, and the ICC has given us this chance, so looking to do well. Two changes for us - unfortunately, Brendan Taylor has been ruled out of the competition, Richard Ngarava has been rested as a precautionary measure. His second scans came out well. Tony Munyonga and Greame Creamer are in, he added.

T20 WC: Unfortunately, That Spell Of Varun Broke The Back Of Our Chase, Says Erasmus
T20 World Cup: Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus said they were in contention in the early stages of their chase of 210 against India in the ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2026, but wrist spinner Varun Chakravarthys decisive spell turned the game in the defending champions favour, as they won by 93 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Thursday. India had earlier posted 209/9 in their 20 overs, with Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya leading the charge by hitting fabulous fifties, before Chakravarthys 3-7 dismantled Namibias middle order, as they were bowled out for 116 in 18.2 overs, handing India a record 93-run victory. I thought, after that the Power-play that we had, that it's quite a small ground, maybe a bit of dew settling might make it tough for the spinners in the back half of that innings. So we really felt after 26 overs of cricket that we're in with a chance, and unfortunately, that spell of Varun broke the back of our chase, Erasmus said in the post-match presentation ceremony. He praised JJ Smits death bowling despite the heavy defeat. I think that death spell as well from Smit coming back, you know, after the powerplay had leaked a bit, I think that's the kind of specialisation we want in our team. It's always been a matter of getting the top and bottom ends of our innings to a higher standard to compete with these bigger teams, he added. Looking ahead to their next fixture against the USA in Chepauk, Erasmus said conditions could favour Namibia. I think that's perhaps slow conditions in Chennai might suit us, and I think there's still a lot in the tank. I don't think we're playing at 100% now.

Zimbabwe's opening match was all about pace, with Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava, and Brad Evans each taking three wickets to bowl out Oman for just 103 runs and then chasing the small target easily in just 13.3 overs with the help of magnificent innings from Brian Bennett and Brendan Taylor. Australia and Zimbabwe have played three T20I matches so far, in which the 2021 World Cup champions have won two, while Sikandar Raza's team has been able to win only one match.

After running India close in their opening game in Mumbai, the USA were outplayed by Pakistan in Colombo in their second match. A third successive defeat against the Netherlands on Friday will knock them out of contention for the Super Eight stage. So it will be a do-or-die match for Monank Patel's team. On the other hand, the Netherlands are coming into the contest on the back of a dominant seven-wicket win against Namibia. All-rounder Bas de Leede was the main player behind that win. He took two crucial wickets, which helped the team restrict Namibia to just 156 runs, and then played a 72-run knock, which helped the team chase the target comfortably to register a win after a near loss in the opener against Pakistan. The Netherlands are also familiar with Chennai conditions. Their entire squad trained at the Chennai Super Kings Academy in the city for around a week last month, and they boast a strong record against the USA, having won all three T20I matches played between the two sides.
