He Is Very Underrated: SRH Bowling Coach Calls Eshan Malinga 'a Pure T20 Bowler With All-round Ability'

Chennai Super Kings: 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. 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.

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.

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.

IPL 2026: We Fell Short In Middle Overs, Says Gaikwad After CSKs 10-run Loss To SRH

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad admitted that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fell short in the middle overs with the bat despite a strong effort with the ball, after their 10-run loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in match 27 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Saturday. 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. Chasing 195, CSK got off to a brisk start but lost wickets at key moments. 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. Despite the loss, the CSK skipper praised his bowling unit for consistent performances. Its been three successive games that the bowling unit has been doing really well. Even in the power play today, I thought Abhishek played brilliantly. I think everyone did a good job with the ball, he said.

IPL 2026: Eshan Malinga Picks Three Wickets As SRH Beat CSK By 10 Runs

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Sri Lankan pacer Eshan Malinga picked three wickets as Sunrisers Hyderabad restricted five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to just 184/8 in 20 overs and won their third match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 by 10 runs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday. Earlier, opener Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen scored half-centuries as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) posted 194/9 in 20 overs despite a great comeback by CSK bowlers. Chasing a challenging target, CSK made a brisk start, scoring 15 runs in the opening over. However, they suffered an early setback when Sanju Samson was dismissed for seven in the second over by Nitish Kumar Reddy. Despite the early blow, Ayush Mhatre counterattacked aggressively, smashing 24 runs in the third over. He looked in fine touch but was forced off after pulling a hamstring and was eventually dismissed for a quick 30 off 13 balls. SRH tightened their grip when Malinga removed CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad for 19. Sarfaraz Khan and Matthew Short then steadied the innings with a 46-run partnership, guiding CSK to 111/3 at the halfway mark. The stand was broken in the 11th over when Malinga dismissed Sarfaraz for 25. SRH struck again soon after as Shivam Kumar removed Dewald Brevis for a duck.

Asked to bat first, SRH began cautiously before accelerating in the power-play. Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head looked in control, finding boundaries regularly. Abhisheks explosive hitting in the fifth over, where he smashed Matthew Short for 25 runs, powered SRH to 63/0 in five overs. CSK responded immediately as Mukesh Choudhary dismissed Head for 23, and Ishan Kishan fell for a duck on the next ball, leaving SRH at 75/2 after the powerplay. Abhisheks innings ended in the eighth over when Jamie Overton induced an edge, caught by Sanju Samson. He made a rapid 59 off 22 balls, including six fours and four sixes. SRH lost another wicket in the 11th over, but Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy added a quick 35-run partnership to stabilise the innings. Reddy scored 12 before departing, while Klaasen continued to attack, bringing up his fifty in 32 balls. Klaasen was eventually bowled by Anshul Kamboj for 59 off 39 balls.

IPL 2026: 'Feels Good To Be In Comfortable Setup,' Says Travis Head On SRH Environment

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Opener Travis Head has said that feeling settled within a franchise environment has played a key role in his performances, as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) clash with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 27th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday. Oh yeah, it's always been a good tournament, it's nice to be in a franchise that I feel comfortable in and enjoy playing with.

Head further acknowledged the demanding nature of the IPL, pointing out that adapting and maintaining consistency across a long tournament remains a significant challenge. It's never easy, every year you just try and get better, you try to evolve, you try to be as consistent as you can, but it is a difficult tournament, so you're going to ride the wave a little bit, you're going to have good days and bad days and you just ride the wave as the tournament goes on, he added, underlining the importance of handling fluctuations in form.
