Ashwin To Become First Indian To Play In MLC After Signing With San Francisco Unicorns

Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium: Ace off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is all set to become the first Indian playing to feature in Major League Cricket (MLC) after signing with the San Francisco Unicorns for the 2026 season. Ashwin was a member of the Indian team winning the 2011 ODI World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy. In all, he picked 765 international wickets from 287 matches across all three formats and remains the seventh-highest wicket-taker in Test crickets history. The MLC has proven over recent seasons that it can put on a show, bringing in world-class players and offering significant exposure to US domestic cricket talent, and the opportunity to be a part of it with the San Francisco Unicorns was an opportunity I couldnt pass up. Taking on the mantle as the first Indian-capped player to compete in Major League Cricket is a major responsibility that I fully embrace. My absolute focus is to help this franchise win games and push for its first Championship, while also putting on a spectacular brand of cricket for the Bay Area fans, said Ashwin in a statement. Ashwin is also one of the top five wicket-takers in IPL history, having represented his home franchise, the Chennai Super Kings, as well as Rising Pune Supergiants, Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals, and the Delhi Capitals. He was supposed to play for Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League (BBL), before a knee injury ruled him out of the competition. We are absolutely thrilled to welcome a player of Ashwins stature to the Unicorns. When you talk about match-winners and cricketing intelligence, his name is at the top of the list around the world. Bringing in the first Indian-capped player is a massive moment for our franchise and MLC as a whole, but first and foremost, hes joining to help us win games. His experience in high-pressure situations and his skill variations will be invaluable on the pitch and in the nets, and I cant wait to get into camp and start working with him, said head coach Cameron White. We are absolutely thrilled to welcome a player of Ashwins stature to the Unicorns. When you talk about match-winners and cricketing intelligence, his name is at the top of the list around the world.

IPL 2026: Mumbai Indians Hope For A Bright Start Against KKR As They Chase Sixth Title (Preview)

Sri Lankan Matheesha Pathirana: Five-time champions Mumbai Indians will launch their campaign in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 with a clash against three-time winner Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, hoping to add another title to their tally. Mumbai Indians, who jointly hold the record with Chennai Super Kings as the most successful team of IPL, won their fifth title five years back in 2020 and have struggled to impose themselves and reach the final since then. They underwent a period of transition before recovering some ground and making it to the Playoffs in IPL 2025 after finishing fourth at the end of the first stage. However, they went down to the Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2, thus ending another season without the title. For the 2026 season, the Reliance Industries-owned franchise has maintained its core by retaining skipper Hardik Pandya, former captain Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. They further strengthened their squad by bringing back New Zealand pacer Trent Boult and Mumbai all-rounder Shardul Thakur. Quinton de Kock also returns after playing for them from 2019 to 2021, and the 33-year-old is likely to partner Rohit Sharma as an opener. The middle-order will be led by Suryakumar Yadav, who enjoyed a record-breaking season in 2025, scoring 717 runs and winning the Player of the Tournament award, with Ryan Rickleton, Tilak Varma, and Sherfane Rutherford, along with skipper Pandya, providing support. Since last year, Surya has led India to a title in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup and will be hoping to replicate his success for his franchise. Though Boult's return bolsters the bowling attack, Bumrah's unavailability for the first two weeks and the lack of support to spinner Mitchell Santner will be areas of concern for the Mumbai giants. A couple of other players, including Allah Ghafanzar, are also not available and may impact their start. While the Mumbai Indians managed to retain their core, the Kolkata Knight Riders had gone for a total overhaul following their eighth-place finish in the previous edition. The three-time champions released 10 players, including key all-rounders like Andre Russell and Venkatesh Iyer. They picked the New Zealand trio of Finn Allen, Tim Seifert, and Rachin Ravindra to join top-order star Sunil Narine, while adding Australian Cameron Green and Sri Lankan Matheesha Pathirana to join the middle and late-order mix that includes Rinku Singh, now named vice-captain, Rovman Powell, and Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Varun Chakaravarthy and Narine remain their main spin bowlers, while Ravindra can also tweak the ball if necessary. Their bowling attack, which had lost a bit of balance after they were forced to give up Mustafizur Rahman, has been bolstered with Zimbabwe's T20 World Cup star Blessing Muzarabani coming in as a replacement, though Harshit Rana's injury remains another headache for the team management. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane's poor form with the bat remains an area of concern and may turn out to be another weakness in the side. They also look a bit short on leadership options in case Rahane is not available for some reason. While the Mumbai Indians will be banking on home conditions at the Wankhede Stadium, where the pitch provides early assistance, and dew plays some role late in the night, the head-to-head series also favours the five-time champions. In 35 matches played between these two sides, the Mumbai Indians have won 24, while KKR emerged the winner in 11. In recent times, KKR has had the edge, winning four of their last six encounters. In the 2025 season, Mumbai emerged on top with a commanding eight-wicket win. But MI are known to be slow starters, and that will give KKR a bit of hope for their opening match of the season. Squads: Mumbai Indians: Hardik Pandya (Captain), Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Ryan Rickleton, Robin Minz, Mitchell Santner, Corbin Bosch, Naman Dhir, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, Allah Ghafanzar, Ashwani Kumar, Deepak Chahar, Will Jacks, Raghu Sharma, Raj Angad Bawa, Sherfane Rutherford, Mayank Markande, Shardul Thakur, Quinton de Kock, Mohammad Izhar, Danish Malewar, Atharva Ankolekar, Mayank Rawat. Squads: Also Read: Live Cricket Score Matheesha Pathirana, Kartik Tyagi, Rahul Tripathi, Tim Seifert, Tejasvi Dahiya, Sarthak Ranjan, Rachin Ravindra, Akash Deep, Prashant Solanki, Daksh Kamra Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: Ashwin Picks CSK's Playing XI After MS Dhoni's Injury

Chennai Super Kings: Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has picked his strongest playing XI with Impact Player options for the five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) after their stalwart MS Dhoni was subsequently ruled out for the first two weeks of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, which will commence on Saturday. MS Dhoni is currently undergoing rehabilitation for a calf strain. As a result, he is likely to miss the first two weeks of IPL 2026, the franchise said in a statement. Ashwin has gone with Sanju Samson as the wicketkeeper, and he will also open the innings with skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad. The former CSK player has put three attacking batters in the next three spots, which include Urvil Patel at No. 3, batter Dewald Brevis at number four, followed by Indias T20 World Cup 2026 all-rounder Shivam Dube at number five. Ashwin has given two options for the number six position. His first choice is Sarfaraz Khan, while the other is India's U19 World Cup champion captain Ayush Mhatre. Former Indian spinner has ignored Prashant Veer and has selected Kartik Sharma for the number 7 spot. In the bowling department, he has selected Akeal Hosein and Noor Ahmad as the main spinners, with Hosein also capable of contributing with the bat at number eight. For the pace attack, Jaffer has gone with Matt Henry and Khaleel Ahmed. Ashwin has provided four options for the Impact Player, which include Anshul Kamboj, Shreyas Gopal, Ramakrishna Ghosh, and Rahul Chahar. CSK head into the new season after a disappointing 2025 campaign, where they finished at the bottom of the table, the worst result in the franchises history.
