Kevin Pietersen Steps Down As Delhi Capitals Mentor Ahead Of IPL 2026
Ahead of the 19th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has stepped down as mentor of the Delhi Capitals franchise, stating that he cannot commit the time the role requires. The 45-year-old, however, will be back in the commentary box in the cash-rich event. DC had appointed Pietersen for the role in February last year, for the 2025 edition of the tournament, as he worked alongside the support staff, which included Director of Cricket Venugopal Rao, Head Coach Hemang Badani, Assistant Coach Matthew Mott and Bowling Coach Munaf Patel. The England veteran took to X to share the news as he said, I cannot be a mentor for Delhi Capitals in this IPL season. I can't commit to the time that the job requires. Best wishes to all the players for this season! However, I'll see you back in the commentary box! IPL is the world's best league, and I can't wait to see all of you soon! With experience in 200 T20s and 5,695 runs, Pietersen participated in 36 IPL matches, scoring 1001 runs with teams like Delhi Daredevils, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Pune. The South African-born cricketer, who captained England from 2008 to 2009, was awarded Player of the Series in the 2010 ICC T20 World Cup, a performance that contributed to England's first ICC trophy. Throughout his distinguished international career, Pietersen participated in 104 Tests, accumulating 8,181 runs, and played 136 ODIs, totaling 4,440 runs. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Wednesday announced the schedule for the first phase of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, to be played from March 28 to April 12, 2026.

Dhoni Carried Responsibilities For Years, Time To Pass On The Baton To Youngsters: Irfan Pathan
Chennai Super Kings: Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes the upcoming generation of players at Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have a valuable opportunity to grow by observing and learning from the experience of veteran wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni. With the 19th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) approaching, Dhonis continued presence in the CSK setup remains one of the biggest talking points. Pathan pointed out that while the franchise is clearly transitioning towards a younger core, the former skippers influence in the dressing room could prove crucial in guiding the next generation of leaders. Highlighting the veterans preparation and fitness ahead of the season, Pathan said Dhoni appears ready to once again contribute both on and off the field. As soon as the IPL comes around, we start seeing Mahendra Singh Dhoni again, which means he is fully prepared for it, and he is looking very fit as well, he told JioStar. CSK, one of the most successful franchises in IPL history, have gradually begun refreshing their squad while maintaining their traditional emphasis on experienced leadership. With players like Ruturaj Gaikwad stepping into leadership roles and emerging talents such as Dewald Brevis and Shivam Dube expected to play prominent roles, the franchise appears to be balancing continuity with transition. We have seen him take responsibility for a number of years now, but I think this is the time for the baton to pass on to the likes of Ayush Mhatre, Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube and Ruturaj Gaikwad, who is a young captain as well. CSK's ideology has changed. It will be key for the youngsters to learn from MS Dhoni's experience, and for him to take the players ahead alongside him. It is a very exciting team on paper. In terms of six-hitting ability and intent, I am really looking forward to seeing the fearlessness from this young CSK side, Pathan added. Shifting his focus to the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Pathan also weighed in on developments concerning the franchise, particularly the challenges surrounding the availability of their fast-bowling resources ahead of the season. The former pacer suggested that squad balance and injury concerns could influence selection decisions, especially regarding overseas players and the wicketkeeper slot. Choosing one between Seifert and Finn Allen will be a good headache, but the biggest issue for KKR and the think tank after the auction would be the availability of their fast bowlers. They would be worried about Pathirana's injury. Harshit Rana is also a big miss. But looking at the schedule, KKR will feel a little relieved as they will be playing three out of their four games at home.

IPL 2026: KKR Sign Zimbabwe Pacer Blessing Muzarabani
Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders have signed Blessing Muzarabani for the upcoming Indian Premier League 2026. The 6 ft 8 right-arm quick has emerged as one of Zimbabwes leading pace bowlers in the shortest format, known for his steep bounce and ability to strike in key phases of the innings. Muzarabani brings significant T20 experience, having claimed over 90 wickets in more than 80 T20 Internationals at an average of around 21, with best figures of 3/8, the franchise said in a release. He is scheduled to arrive in Kolkata on March 17. His pace and consistency across global leagues and international cricket add further depth to KKRs pace attack heading into the season. Muzarabani arrives after a strong showing in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, where he was the leading wicket-taker for the Zimbabwe national team, claiming 13 wicketsthe fourth-highest in the tournament overall. The tall fast bowler played a crucial role during the Sri Lanka leg of the competition, achieving match-winning performances against Australia and Sri Lanka. The 6-foot-8 pacer previously joined Islamabad United as a replacement for Shamar Joseph in the Pakistan Super League 2026 season. However, he has now withdrawn from that tournament to take this IPL opportunity. Muzarabani's experience in subcontinental conditions and his recent form could be valuable for the three-time IPL champions. He was part of the title-winning squad for Royal Challengers Bengaluru last season, although he did not play any matches during that campaign. Earlier, KKR released Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman has been from their IPL squad following instructions from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to do so. The call was taken amid excessive controversy and debate surrounding the players participation in the cash-rich event. The decision was made following reports of violence against members of the Hindu community in Bangladesh in December. Additionally, critics had voiced their disapproval of Rahman's involvement in the IPL. Rahman drew significant attention after KKR acquired him for a record Rs 9.20 crore at the December mini-auction, making him the highest-paid Bangladeshi cricketer in IPL history. He was purchased from a starting bid of Rs 2 crore amid a fierce bidding war between the Chennai Super Kings and the Delhi Capitals. The decision was made following reports of violence against members of the Hindu community in Bangladesh in December.

Im not sure how many games he will play. But his presence in the dressing room will help a lot. Ruturaj Gaikwad is the leader. But as a group, two or three guys are being groomed for the future. That is where MS Dhoni comes in. I hope he makes a difference, Pathan told Jio Hotstar.
