He is very underrated: SRH bowling coach calls Eshan Malinga 'a pure T20 bowler with all-round ability' New Delhi, April 19 (IANS) Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) bowling coach Varun Aaron heaped praise on Eshan Malinga for his brilliant bowling performance against five-time Chennai Super Kings (CSK), calling him an underrated T20 bowler with all-round ability. SRH held their nerve in a tight finish against CSK by 10 runs in Hyderabad, successfully defending 194 on the back of a collective bowling effort. Malinga led the bowling effort with 3-29 and was named Player of the Match for his key strikes. The Sri Lankan bounced skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad out, denting CSK chase. When Sarfaraz Khan and Matt Short attempted to rebuild with a 46-run stand, his ability to access the yorker length produced two more wickets, removing Short (34 off 30) and Sarfaraz (25 off 19). Eshan Malinga is a very underrated bowler. Since the start of the campaign, he has bowled very well. He bowled well last season too. Especially when the ball reverses, he becomes even more effective towards the death overs. He can bowl at around 145 km/h, has a sharp bouncer, and can nail the perfect yorker. He is a pure T20 bowler with all-round ability. I believe he can take the new ball as well, not just for us going forward, but even for Sri Lanka, Aaron said on JioStar. Besides Malinga, Nitish Kumar Reddy bowled his full four-over quota in IPL for the first time, delivering figures of 2-31, while Sakib Hussain and Shivang Kumar chipped in with one wicket each. He can bowl at around 145 km/h, has a sharp bouncer, and can nail the perfect yorker. He is a pure T20 bowler with all-round ability.

Dan and I just have one message, and thats not to take undue pressure, express yourself with conviction. On wickets like these, if you dont bowl with conviction, youll get hit even on your good balls. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: 'It Looks Pretty Bad; He Will Undergo Scans, Says Hussey On Mhatre's Hamstring Injury
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batting coach Mike Hussey provided an update on its top-order batter Ayush Mhatre, who suffered a hamstring tear while batting against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), saying he didn't know the exact extent of the injury but it definitely looks bad. Mhatre came in as an impact sub for Gurjapneet Singh in the second over of CSK's chase of 195 runs after the team lost the wicket of opener Sanju Samson. The 18-year-old looked in great touch and smashed the bowlers from the onset as he scored a quickfire 30 off 12 balls. Mhatre pulled his hamstring after the second delivery of the fifth over, trying to get back for the second run. He completed the run but sat down on the ground in pain, and the physio came running out immediately. He then opted to bat on instaead to fo go off the field, before losing his wicket a couple of deliveries later. It's a hamstring tear. Don't know how bad it is. We'll scan him probably the next day. I'm not sure, but yes, it looks pretty bad. Unfortunately, he's going to be a big loss because he has been in nice touch for us, Hussey said in a post-match presser. He is an exciting young talent, but it is going to give someone else an opportunity, so that's exciting as well. We have got some really good players that haven't got an opportunity, so it's going to be exciting for one of those guys. As much as we are really disappointed to lose Ayush, I don't know for how long, but it's exciting for a new player to come in and get a chance, he added. It's a hamstring tear. Don't know how bad it is. We'll scan him probably the next day. I'm not sure, but yes, it looks pretty bad. Unfortunately, he's going to be a big loss because he has been in nice touch for us, Hussey said in a post-match presser.

His Mind Appears To Be A Bit Cluttered: Ashwin Reacts To Gaikwad's Batting Woes
Chennai Super Kings: Former India off-spin veteran Ravichandran Ashwin has expressed concern over Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwads current batting form, suggesting that right-hand batter is playing under immense pressure and struggling with a cluttered mindset. Gaikwad, who has been a prolific run-getter in domestic and franchise cricket, has recently hit a rough patch. In six matches so far, the CSK skipper has scored just 82 runs, with the highest score of 28. In Saturday's 10-run loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad, he was dismissed for 19 off 13 balls. Analysing the 29-year-old batter's recent dismissal, Ashwin noted that the match situation provided the perfect platform for Gaikwad to settle in without the burden of the required run rate, thanks to a blistering start from his batting partner Ayush Mhatre. It was the best chance for him to score runs. He didnt need to take risks or score at a fast pace because of the way Ayush Mhatre started. They were running away with the Powerplay. It was right there for Ruturaj to take some time, score some runs, and come back into form,' Ashwin said on JioStar. After Ayush Mhatres wicket, Ruturaj got a very good ball, its not easy to beat him on the pull. I just feel he is under immense pressure, and his mind appears to be a bit cluttered, he added.

IPL 2026: 'Young Bowlers Delivered Under Pressure,' Says Ishan Kishan After SRH Win
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Skipper Ishan Kishan lauded his young bowling unit for delivering under pressure as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) registered a hard-fought 10-run win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 27 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Saturday. Lovely when you have a bunch of young bowlers. They are coming up with their own plans, and it was lovely to see them do their job, Kishan said in the post-match presentation. Earlier, SRH posted 194/9 in 20 overs, thanks to impressive half-centuries from Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen. The pair provided a strong platform, but regular wickets in the latter half of the innings prevented the hosts from breaching the 200-run mark on what appeared to be a batting-friendly surface. Kishan admitted the team fell short of an ideal total. Very good batting surface, and we were 30-40 short. We shouldve batted better, he said, while also noting that the team expected at least one batter to play a big innings and push the total beyond 220. Defending 195, SRHs bowlers held their nerve in crucial phases. Eshan Malinga led the charge with an impressive three-wicket haul, while Nitish Kumar Reddy chipped in with key breakthroughs to keep CSK under pressure. Despite a steady chase, CSK eventually finished on 184/8, falling just short. Kishan credited the young bowlers preparation and fearless mindset for the result. Actually, looking at them in practice sessions, giving their best day by day. Give them the ball and let them do what they want to, he said, emphasising the importance of backing players to execute their own plans.

Reflecting on the game, Gaikwad said CSK had done well to restrict SRH after a flying start. Looking at how their power play went, I was looking at a score around 220-230. To pull it back by 30 runs, I would have taken it any day under 200, he said after the match. SRH were powered by half-centuries from Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen to post 194/9, but CSKs bowlers, led by Jamie Overton and Anshul Kamboj, pulled things back impressively at the death.

Despite contributions from the middle order, they slipped behind the required rate and eventually finished on 184/8, falling short by 10 runs. Eshan Malinga was the standout for SRH with three wickets. Gaikwad pointed to a crucial phase after the halfway mark as the turning point. It was just about 80 runs needed in 10 overs. From there, it was just about building a couple of partnerships. We scored just 4 runs in the next 2 overs after the 10-over mark. Chasing 12-13 at the death is going to be difficult, he explained.
