Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings assistant bowling coach Sridharan Sriram has lauded spin duo of Akeal Hosein and Noor Ahmad for their preparation and tactical awareness, saying the duos clarity of plans has been central to the sides recent success in IPL 2026. Noor (11 scalps) and Hosein (seven scalps) have steadily formed a good spin bowling pair for CSK, who are at ten points from as many games and a win over Lucknow Super Giants at Chepauk on Sunday afternoon will brighten their chances in a tight race to the playoffs.

They're well-prepared in terms of being tactically aware of what to plan against different oppositions, said Sriram in the pre-match press conference on Saturday.

IPL 2026: Skipper Parag Out, Hetmyer In As Jaiswal-led RR Opt To Bowl Against GT
Indian Premier League: Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bowl against Gujarat Titans in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 encounter here at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. Yashasvi Jaiswal is leading the home team in the absence of regular skipper Riyan Parag, who has been sidelined after pulling his hamstring during the teams previous outing. Rajasthan Royals head into the clash looking to bounce back after a seven-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals. After winning four of their opening five matches, RRs campaign has slowed, with three defeats in their last five outings. Led by Riyan Parag, the Royals currently sit fourth on the points table with 12 points from 10 games. Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans arrive in strong form after registering three successive wins over Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings, respectively. The Titans are fifth with 12 points and can break into the top four with a victory. Historically, Gujarat Titans have enjoyed the upper hand in this rivalry, winning six of the nine meetings between the two sides. However, Rajasthan Royals claimed victory in their most recent encounter on April 4. Winning the toss, RRs stand-in skipper Jaiswal said, We are going to bowl first. I think the wicket is pretty good and we want to chase it. Riyan pulled his hamstring last game, so I feel he'll be coming back soon. Shimron Hetmyer comes in and Yash Raj Punja comes in. That's the two guys who have been coming in. I'm really excited, looking forward to the game. Meanwhile, GT captain Shubman Gill said, We would have bowled first as well honestly. We have got one change. Prasid comes back in place of Manav Suthar. I think it's important to look back at your strengths as a batting group or as a bowling group. What are the things that has got us so much success as a team. So, there were some areas that, you know, we went back and we reflected. Most of the games that we have played there have been pretty close. So, it's all about doing that extra effort, putting that, you know, if something is going well for you, having the belief to be able to have that execution. Yeah, I mean, we're going to see how the first couple of overs, 2-3 overs go. There's obviously a par score and then you want to get 10-15 extra on top of the pass score to give that extra cushion to the bowlers. Playing XIs: Rajasthan Royals: Yashasvi Jaiswal (c), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja, Shubham Dubey, Dasun Shanaka, Jofra Archer, Tushar Deshpande, Brijesh Sharma, Yash Raj Punja Impact Substitutes: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Adam Milne, Ravi Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Sushant Mishra Rajasthan Royals: Yashasvi Jaiswal (c), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja, Shubham Dubey, Dasun Shanaka, Jofra Archer, Tushar Deshpande, Brijesh Sharma, Yash Raj Punja Also Read: Live Cricket Score Impact Substitutes: Prasidh Krishna, Glenn Phillips, Anuj Rawat, R Sai Kishore, Kumar Kushagra Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: Dream Ball To Kohli Shows Princes Potential, Says LSG Coach Arun
Lucknow Super Giants: Lucknow Super Giants bowling coach Bharat Arun has hailed Prince Yadavs evolution in IPL 2026, describing his delivery to Virat Kohli as a dream ball and backed the young pacer to play for India in future. New Delhi-based Prince, who managed to pick just three wickets in six games last season, has emerged as one of the standout fast bowling performers in IPL 2026, with 16 wickets in ten innings. His nip-backer to Kohli in Lucknow, where LSG won by nine runs in a rain-hit clash, was hailed as the ball of the tournament by various onlookers. See, Prince, last year he showed glimpses of what he could achieve. So, actually this year during the camps that we had, we discussed his strengths. See, under pressure, sometimes a bowler goes blank. But under pressure, the one who is confident of executing his strengths is going to be most successful in execution. So, we had lot of one-on-one chats during the pre-season camps and things like that. And understood what is the best, what are their strengths. And we went about working perfectly on their strengths and on execution. Even we had a chat with Kohli and Kohli said: 'how did he bowl that ball?' Because it's not very common - mostly, outswing bowlers, after pitching, the ball swings in the air. After pitching, the ball tends to come in because of the position of the seam, how it lands. I don't think any bowler can bowl it at will, but if you are consistently working on your swing, it can be possible. And it was a dream ball, said Arun in the pre-match press conference ahead of their clash against Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk on Sunday afternoon. Arun, who previously served as India's bowling coach, also felt tearaway pacer Mayank Yadav, who played three T20Is for India in 2024 after a breakout time in the IPL in the same year and uncapped left-arm quick Mohsin Khan have it in them to be in the national team.
