IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch MI Vs LSG, Know All Details
Lucknow Super Giants: A struggling Mumbai Indians will face fellow bottom-placed side Lucknow Super Giants in the upcoming IPL 2026 clash at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday, with both teams desperate to revive their fading playoff hopes. Placed ninth on the table, MI have managed just two wins from nine matches and come into the contest on the back of three consecutive defeats, including a heavy eight-wicket loss to Chennai Super Kings in their recently concluded game. LSG, who sit at the bottom, have also registered two wins but from eight outings, and are reeling from five straight losses, their latest being a Super Over heartbreak against Kolkata Knight Riders. Mumbais campaign has been hampered by inconsistent performances from key players such as Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma and skipper Hardik Pandya, whose leadership has also come under scrutiny. The absence of Rohit Sharma due to a hamstring injury has further dented their stability, leaving the side with little margin for error going forward. Lucknow, led by Rishabh Pant, have struggled primarily due to repeated batting failures despite commendable efforts from their bowlers. In their previous outing, a strong spell by Mohsin Khan went in vain, while a questionable Super Over decision involving Nicholas Pooran proved costly. Historically, Lucknow have held the upper hand, winning six of the eight encounters between the two sides, including two victories at the Wankhede. With both teams languishing at the bottom, Mondays clash could prove decisive in determining whether either side can keep their playoff aspirations alive. When: May 4, Monday, 7:30 PM IST Where: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Where to watch: The MI vs LSG match will be broadcast on Star Sports channels, with JioHotstar live-streaming the game.

'CSK are becoming dangerous': Ashwin's take after Gaikwad's form turnaround
Ruturaj Gaikwad's resurgence in form, marked by consecutive half-centuries, is making Chennai Super Kings a formidable opponent, according to Ravichandran Ashwin. Gaikwad's composed 67 against Mumbai Indians, following his unbeaten 74 against Gujarat Titans, was crucial in CSK's dominant eight-wicket victory. This win solidifies CSK's playoff contention and hinders MI's chances.
The Way Gaikwad Played, CSK Are Becoming More Dangerous: Ashwin
As Ruturaj Gaikwad: As Ruturaj Gaikwad is regaining his form, former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said the way Chennai Super Kings skipper played in the last two games, CSK are becoming more dangerous with every match. Gaikwad, who has been a prolific run-getter in domestic and franchise cricket, had a rough start to his IPL 2026 campaign. In the first seven matches, the CSK skipper has scored just 104 runs, with the highest score of 28. In last Sunday's 8-wicket loss to Gujarat Titans, he regained his form and smashed an unbeaten 74 off 60 balls. He carried the same momentum in Saturday's game against the Mumbai Indians and struck a composed 48-ball 67 as CSK produced a clinical all-round performance to seal a league double over MI with an eight-wicket win at the M A Chidambaram Stadium. Everyone was talking about his form. This innings was a result of the previous game. It was a challenging wicket, the GT game, and the time he spent in the middle and the knock he played you cannot compare it with the likes of Vaibhav Suryavanshi or Abhishek Sharma. On wickets like these, this is how you should play, Ashwin said on JioStar. Ruturaj played with a great tempo in this game and read the conditions well. His role was important; if CSK had lost one or two more wickets, the pressure would have increased on their batting line-up. He took responsibility, and the way he played, CSK are becoming more dangerous with every match, he added. Mumbai Indians elected to bat and were restricted to a total of 159/7. In reply, Gaikwad spearheaded the chase with 48-ball 67. Kartik Sharma too scored a superb half century (54* off 40 balls). This was the maiden half century for the 20-year-old. The Ruturaj-Kartik duo forged an undefeated stand of 98 runs for the third wicket to steer the Super Kings home with 11 balls to spare. Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara praised Kartiks knock, saying his innings has paid off the faith CSK have shown in him. This was a very important innings for young Kartik Sharma. CSK have shown a lot of faith in him and given him multiple opportunities. This match against Mumbai was the perfect stage for him to deliver and repay that trust. He did exactly that, he said on JioStar. Mumbai Indians elected to bat and were restricted to a total of 159/7. In reply, Gaikwad spearheaded the chase with 48-ball 67. Kartik Sharma too scored a superb half century (54* off 40 balls). This was the maiden half century for the 20-year-old. The Ruturaj-Kartik duo forged an undefeated stand of 98 runs for the third wicket to steer the Super Kings home with 11 balls to spare.

'Temperament Stood Out Along With Skill': Fleming Lauds Kartiks Match-winning Knock
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach Stephen Fleming heaped praise on youngster Kartik Sharma for his composed match-winning knock, highlighting his temperament and skills after their commanding eight-wicket win over Mumbai Indians (MI) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Chasing 160, CSK rode on unbeaten half-centuries from Ruturaj Gaikwad (67 not out) and Kartik (54 not out) to seal victory with 11 balls to spare, completing a clinical allround performance after their bowlers had restricted MI to 159/7. He's a fine player, and he was expensive in the auction because others see that as well, and tonight it was good to see the temperament as well as the skill on show, and he will just get better and better, Fleming told reporters in the post-match press conference.You have the young players, there are two parts to it, one is how you introduce them. It is a big stage, no matter what they've been doing at the domestic level. So understanding their mentality is really important, and it is a big step-up. They can have all the talent in the world, but the temperament is what we're looking for, and his introduction was tough at the start, and then he had a little bit of time out. He worked hard and today was a good reward for that, he added. Kartiks unbeaten 54 off 40 balls, laced with timely boundaries and smart strike rotation, came in a crucial 98-run partnership with Gaikwad that ensured CSK never lost control of the chase. The CSK coach further revealed that the team had been closely tracking Kartiks development and believed he was ready for the opportunity. Well, he was pretty good last year. Again, it's just trying to understand at what level the skill keeps lifting up and, when it's domestic level, you're trying to quantify the standard, he said. Fleming emphasised the importance of adapting to the IPL stage, noting that performances in domestic cricket dont always directly translate to success at the highest level. Well, he was pretty good last year. Again, it's just trying to understand at what level the skill keeps lifting up and, when it's domestic level, you're trying to quantify the standard, he said.

IPL 2026: Gaikwad Hails Bowlers After CSK Beat MI, Lauds Kamboj, Noor For Good Show
Chennai Super Kings: The Indian quartet of Dharamveer Choudhary, Rajesh Ramesh, Vishal TK and Manu T.S. clocked an impressive time of 3:00.32 seconds, a season best, in the mens 4x400m to finish fourth in their heat 3 on day one of World Athletics Relays at Gaborones National Stadium on Saturday. A target of 160 wasnt a massive one for CSK, and Gaikwad hit 67 not out off 48 balls, laced with five fours and two sixes, his second successive fifty. Kartik, meanwhile, registered his maiden IPL halfcentury in an unbeaten 40-ball vigil, hitting four boundaries and three sixes, as CSK wrapped up the chase with 11 balls remaining. At the age of 20 years and 6 days, Kartik became the second youngest CSK batter to score an IPL fifty after Ayush Mhatre (17y 291d). The duo rotated strike wisely and punished the loose deliveries by sending them to the boundary ropes and kept the chase firmly under control through a 98-run stand off 75 balls for the third wicket. Though Jasprit Bumrah and AM Ghazanfar took a scalp each, CSK were simply too composed in the chase to complete the double over MI and bring their campaign back on track. The eightwicket win is CSKs biggest victory against MI in the IPL, and this is the third time they have achieved a league double over their archrivals after 2014 and 2023. Right from the word go, CSKs chase was steady. Sanju Samson hit two boundaries and was even dropped by Ryan Rickelton before the latter took the formers catch off Bumrah. Gaikwad settled in quickly, working through the gaps and ensuring the scoreboard kept ticking. Urvil Patels cameo of 24 off 12 balls, laced with two fours and as many sixes, injected momentum before being dismissed by Ghazanfar. Kartik then joined Gaikwad, and the duo stitched together a matchwinning stand. Gaikwads fluency stood out as he pierced the offside field with precision, while Kartik showed maturity beyond his years by mixing caution with aggression. Their partnership never allowed MIs bowlers to build pressure. By the halfway mark, CSK were well ahead of the required rate, and the chase became a formality. Together, they ensured CSK crossed the line with ease in the 18th over, with MI now clearly staring at an early exit from the competition. Previously, Kamboj claimed 3-32 while Ahmad chipped in with 2-26 as CSK produced a disciplined bowling performance to restrict MI to a below-par total. On a two-paced pitch, CSK pulled things back after a brisk start from MI, who were 90/2 at the halfway mark, but then faltered in the last ten overs, making 69/5. CSKs pacers were clinical in bowling hard lengths and yorkers. For MI, Naman Dhir topscored with 57 off 37 balls, but did get stuck in the later stages alongside Hardik Pandya, whose timing deserted him big time. From the word go, CSK were on the money, despite Shivam Dube being out of sorts in his fielding. MI were jolted early when Will Jacks fell to Kamboj in the second over. Ryan Rickelton counterattacked by smashing five to race to 37 before Noor Ahmad dismissed him in the seventh over. Dhir joined forces with Suryakumar Yadav to keep the scoreboard ticking before the latter perished to debutant Ramakrishna Ghosh for 21. At 90/2 after 10 overs, MI looked set for a big total until CSK bounced back. Tilak Varmas scratchy stay ended on five against Noor, while Dhirs standout knock was cut short by Jamie Overtons sharp offcutter and miscued to extra cover. Kamboj came in to remove Pandya and Robin Minz to complete a threewicket haul. Trent Boult struck a six late on, but MIs innings fizzled out, as Kamboj and Noor ensured MI managed to reach a total that looked underwhelming given the start they had in the first ten overs, which CSK easily surpassed, and gave lots of delight to their faithful fans.

IPL 2026: Gaikwad, Kartik Smash Unbeaten Fifties As CSK Thrash MI By Eight Wickets
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings rode on unbeaten halfcenturies by skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and youngster Kartik Sharma to complete a commanding eightwicket win over Mumbai Indians in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday. A target of 160 wasnt a massive one for CSK, and Gaikwad hit 67 not out off 48 balls, laced with five fours and two sixes, his second successive fifty. Kartik, meanwhile, registered his maiden IPL halfcentury in an unbeaten 40-ball vigil, hitting four boundaries and three sixes, as CSK wrapped up the chase with 11 balls remaining. At the age of 20 years and 6 days, Kartik became the second youngest CSK batter to score an IPL fifty after Ayush Mhatre (17y 291d). The duo rotated strike wisely and punished the loose deliveries by sending them to the boundary ropes, and kept the chase firmly under control through a 98-run stand off 75 balls for the third wicket. Though Jasprit Bumrah and AM Ghazanfar took a scalp each, CSK were simply too composed in the chase to complete the double over MI and bring their campaign back on track. The eightwicket win is CSKs biggest victory against MI in the IPL, and this is the third time they have achieved a league double over their archrivals after 2014 and 2023. Right from the word go, CSKs chase was steady. Sanju Samson hit two boundaries and was even dropped by Ryan Rickelton before the latter took the formers catch off Bumrah. Gaikwad settled in quickly, working through the gaps and ensuring the scoreboard kept ticking. Urvil Patels cameo of 24 off 12 balls, laced with two fours and as many sixes, injected momentum before being dismissed by Ghazanfar. Kartik then joined Gaikwad, and the duo stitched together a matchwinning stand. Gaikwads fluency stood out as he pierced the offside field with precision, while Kartik showed maturity beyond his years by mixing caution with aggression. Their partnership never allowed MIs bowlers to build pressure. By the halfway mark, CSK were well ahead of the required rate, and the chase became a formality. Together, they ensured CSK crossed the line with ease in the 18th over, with MI now clearly staring at an early exit from the competition.

From the word go, CSK were on the money, despite Shivam Dube being out of sorts in his fielding. MI were jolted early when Will Jacks fell to Kamboj in the second over. Ryan Rickelton counterattacked by smashing five to race to 37 before Noor Ahmad dismissed him in the seventh over.
