IPL 2026: Both Teams Unchanged As CSK Elect To Bowl First Against RCB
Chennai Super Kings: Five-time winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have won the toss and elected to bowl first against defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in their IPL 2026 game at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday. RCB will be aiming to make it two out of two wins, while CSK will be keen to get off the mark in the points table. Both teams are fielding unchanged playing elevens for this marquee clash. Obviously, high scoring ground. Looks like a good pitch, there's going to be some runs. We'll look to restrict them as much as possible. MS is getting back slowly, sometimes it takes time, if he's ready to play, it'll be soon. The first game was disappointing, but our batting was much better in the second game. Everyone is feeling confident, said CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad. CSK have an overall 21-13 head-to-head record against RCB. But when it comes to the games at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, it's 6-5 in favour of RCB. We were looking to bowl first, but it looks like a hard pitch, so we're happy to bat. It's a fresh wicket. The boys played well in the last game and we're looking to continue here. The way everyone played in the last game was tremendous, everyone had clarity in their role and they are high in confidence, said RCB captain Rajat Patidar. In the pitch report, Ian Bishop and Faf du Plessis observed one square boundary is measuring 61 metres, while the other side stands at 68m and the straight boundary is 74m.

IPL 2026, CSK vs RCB LIVE: IPL 2026: CSK Wins Toss, Opts To Bowl
While RCB's batting looked in prime touch early, Chennai's batting has some issues to sort out and it starts with Samson's form.
Chennai Super Kings: Vijaykumar Vyshak does not think about the batter at the other end when his time to bowl in the back end of an innings comes. He does not think about the scoreboard, crowd, or whether the last ball went for a boundary. Instead, the Punjab Kings fast bowler thinks only about execution and that is precisely what makes him a dangerous bowler in the death overs. Vyshak has taken five wickets in two matches this season for PBKS, surpassing the four scalps he managed last year, and has relied on wide yorkers and slower bouncers to get his wickets against Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. Ahead of the clash against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens, Vyshak laid out the mindset that has made him one of the more reliable pace options at a time where totals of 200-plus have become almost routine. Honestly, I mean, it's all about how I feel about the game when I'm bowling. If I know that I'm confident about that particular day, its when I know that I'm nailing my yorkers. I think it doesn't matter which batter is there or whos batting. I know that as long as I am doing what I'm supposed to do, I'm going to win that challenge. It doesn't matter if it goes for a boundary or a six. If it's a good shot, then obviously you just move on and get back to your run up and then bowl the same delivery again. So I am someone who is going to look back and see if I am doing the things right and if I can manage to nail those whatever variations, lengths or yorkers that I'm supposed to bowl. If I do that, then I know that I am in a great space of mind and I know that I can win the game at any moment in the game for my team, Vyshak told IANS in a virtual roundtable chat on Sunday. Against GT, Vyshak bowled across phases and made inroads later in the innings. After being hit for boundaries by Jos Buttler and Shubman Gill, he returned to remove Glenn Phillips in the 14th over. In the closing stages, Vyshak varied his pace well - a short slower ball led to Washington Sundar caught at deep point, while a fuller one saw Shahrukh Khan hole out to deep square leg. In PBKS recent win over CSK, Vyshak brought out the wide yorker to dismiss the swashbuckling Ayush Mhatre and then took out a rampaging Sarfaraz Khan to restrict the hosts to 209/5, which the visitors chased down easily. The idea of a wide yorker coming in from Vyshak came via captain Shreyas Iyer, who observed Mhatre had got a lot of boundaries through long-on, mid-wicket and square leg. For the wide yorkers, it was an instant plan from the captain because he was going really well on the leg side. So we just thought we'll make sure we'll try and make him try to hit the other side because he hadn't hit a single boundary towards the point and third man region. So we just thought we'll try and it did help us. We leaked a couple of boundaries, but we managed to get the run rate a bit down because the way they were looking, it looked like they were going to get 230. So from there, we restricted them to 210. Yes, 10 runs extra with five fielders inside, we must have given. But as a bowling team, we've been doing really well, he added. Vyshak traces the current good run for PBKS to his recent domestic season with Karnataka, where he shouldered the bowling attack even as the team struggled to get a trophy. He also remembers the learnings from the time spent with the India T20I team on tour to South Africa in 2024 and still harbours dream of playing Tests for the country, while having no complaints over the impact player rule especially when it gives him a chance to play in the IPL. Of course, without working hard in the nets, you can't be playing in such a big, big stage. So I seriously think that whatever you've been practicing and have been doing the right things, I think that is what is going to reflect in your games as well. So, thankfully, I have some nice coaches back home also. I have some inspiration from my Karnataka seniors who've been doing really well. I keep talking to them once in a while here and there whenever I have doubts. Even during the domestic season, I think I was the lead bowler. So I wanted to take charge and I wanted to do well for the team. Though we didn't really do well as a team, but I think I gained a lot of confidence there and I did what I'm supposed to do. So, that is something that has helped me - domestic is something where you actually can gain your confidence because of how good cricket is in India. Whatever team you play, there are so many people who have been doing very well and there are all the Indian stars that do come and play in the domestic season - that has helped me a lot, he elaborated. He also arrives in IPL 2026 with new tricks up his sleeve, especially with tons of video analysis swarming pre-game preparations and will unleash them when the time is ripe. Variations, yes, of course, whenever you come for a new season, you have to be prepared that you should know that there are so many people around. Every team has a video analyst and then they analyze your bowling and then they keep looking at it and you just have to keep getting better and better. So I always make sure that whenever I come, I have a new delivery for myself. So, that is what I've been trying to do. Yes, of course, I've been trying to get better and better with a couple of more slower ones or maybe a couple of more variations. So hopefully, I can maybe get it out this season or maybe next year. I don't know, but let's see, he said. For Vyshak, the unconditional backing from Iyer, whose doors are permanently open and keeps the dressing room environment light, is a necessity for someone like him navigating the unpredictability of T20 cricket. If you see on the ground as well, he's been very supportive. He's someone who's always backed his bowlers and players. It doesn't matter if you're doing well or if you've not been doing well - that is something it is very important for a bowler, when you have someone like them as a captain or coach, especially when they are backing you when you're doing or not doing well. So I think that is a constant that you require as a bowler, especially when you're playing IPL, where you might have a couple of bad games. But then once you come in, they come and say Don't worry, it doesn't matter its just one game. Or when you come back, he is someone who keeps the environment very, very light. So he speaks to all the players in the same way he speaks to Ricky, me or anybody else. If you see on the ground as well, he's been very supportive. He's someone who's always backed his bowlers and players. It doesn't matter if you're doing well or if you've not been doing well - that is something it is very important for a bowler, when you have someone like them as a captain or coach, especially when they are backing you when you're doing or not doing well. Also Read: Live Cricket Score When somebody like him is so willingly coming and saying that My doors are open. You can come and talk to me whenever you want, - that is something that we always love to do - like we can go and do it whenever we want to, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

RCB Pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar One Wicket Away From 200-wicket Milestone In IPL
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar is on the verge of creating history when the defending champions take on Chennai Super Kings on Sunday here at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The right-arm medium pacer, who has 199 wickets in 191 IPL matches, is set to become the second player to reach the 200-wicket milestone. Moreover, he will become the first fast bowler to achieve this feat. Only Yuzvendra Chahal has crossed the 200-wicket mark in the tournament, with 224 wickets in 176 matches. The leg-spinner, who went past Dwayne Bravo as the highest wicket-taker in IPL history in the 2023 season, got to the milestone in 2024 during his 153rd match. Bhuvneshwar was handed a contract by Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2009 but went two seasons without playing a game in the tournament. After another three unremarkable seasons with Pune Warriors, he was signed by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2014 and quickly rose through the ranks to become the lynchpin of their powerplay and death bowling. He took upwards of 18 wickets in each of his first four seasons, won the purple cap two years in a row, in 2016 and 2017, and was instrumental in Sunrisers' only title win, in 2016. Though his performances tapered off in later seasons, he remained the franchise's all-time leading wicket-taker before he returned to RCB in the 2025.

Missing Gill Was A Big Setback For GT, But Sudharsan Did The Heavy Lifting: Ashwin
Narendra Modi Stadium: Former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin opened up on Sai Sudharsan's knock for Gujarat Titans in the absence of skipper Shubman Gill and said the way Sudharsan started his innings showed that he understands his strengths well. Sudharsan produced a batting masterclass of 73 off just 44 balls, but it wasnt enough as the Titans lost wickets at important stages to suffer a heartbreaking defeat in their first home game of the season at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday evening. Sai Sudharsan knew that Shubman wasn't playing today, so he had to do the heavy lifting himself. The way he started showed that he understands his strengths. He used pace well, guiding the ball towards third man, and then played some good cover drives on the front foot. He took on Jadeja immediately after he came into the attack, made use of the pace, and followed it up with a slog sweep, Ashwin said on JioStar. Gill missed the GT's game against RR owing to a muscle spasm, and Rashid Khan led the side in his absence. Ashiwn feels that when Gill returns, his opening combination with Sudharsan will be the key for GT to move forward. These are the strong areas for Sudharsan, which he relies on, and he got the results. He needs to play like this, carry the innings, but at a good tempo. And for the Gujarat Titans, missing Shubman Gill was a big setback. So obviously, when Shubman returns, this opening combination will be key for them going forward, yet again, he added. With the thrilling win against GT, RR won their second straight match. Having beaten Chennai Super Kings handily in their opener, the Royals currently top the standings with four points and a Net Run Rate of +2.233 - the best among all teams so far. Defending 210, Rajasthan were under pressure in the closing stages of Gujarats chase as stand-in skipper Rashid Khan and Kagiso Rabada threatened to pull off a stunning finish. With the match heading into the final two overs, skipper Riyan Parag said the plan was to attack the stumps with pace and keep the batters from freeing their arms. He revealed he had initially considered altering the bowling order at the death but eventually stuck with Archer for the penultimate over after a timely suggestion from Dhurv Jurel and handed a final over to Tushar Deshpande, who managed to defend 10 off the final over to seal a second straight victory. Former allrounder Irfan Pathan reckoned that the win and some key decisions at the end will give a lot of confidence to Riyan Parag as a captain. He revealed he had initially considered altering the bowling order at the death but eventually stuck with Archer for the penultimate over after a timely suggestion from Dhurv Jurel and handed a final over to Tushar Deshpande, who managed to defend 10 off the final over to seal a second straight victory. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Jofra used his experience, used his pace, and didnt give any room to either Rabada or Rashid Khan, who were going strong. That over set it up nicely for Tushar Deshpande, because if GT had gotten 10 runs off it, the game would have been done then. It was a special over from Jofra. And credit to Tushar Deshpande, who held his nerve and bowled accurate yorkers, one after the other, to get his side home, Pathan concluded. Article Source: IANS

'Losing Quick Wickets, Bowlers Lacked Rhythm': Hayden Dissects GT's Narrow Loss To RR
Kolkata Knight Riders: Gujarat Titans batting coach Matthew Hayden believes a sudden flurry of wickets turned a certain victory into a heartbreaking loss against the Rajasthan Royals. Chasing a target of 211, GT were well-placed at many points. After ten overs, they were 103 for 1. But then Ravi Bishnoi changed the game as the hosts went from 107 for 1 in the 11th over to 161/7 in the 15th. In the final few overs, Rashid Khan (24), who stepped in to lead the side after skipper Shubman Gill missed the game due to a muscle spasm, and Kagiso Rabada (23) almost pulled off a run-chase with their cameos, however, it wasnt enough as GT fell short by just six runs. I think we lost four for ten in that period. The game was absolutely in the bag. Washi Sundar had a pretty big decision to make at that point around if youre going to attack someone like Bishnoi, who was on a roll, especially after the dismissal. That was maybe a choice that he can look at and will look at as well in terms of just trying to be a little bit more cohesive in our run chases, because it has to be said there wasnt a lot that went wrong in those first 12 overs. There was plenty of great stuff, Hayden said at the press conference after the game. The run out was something that, again, was a decision which Shahrukh and Rashid had to make at the time. I havent broken down that play because as a coach you tend to kind of look at the ball, but Ill be interested also to see the approach when we get back to vision of how that run was executed. It certainly looked from the sideline that Jaddu bumped the ball quite a long way away from him and to regather, as we know, hes so quick and hes so good at getting and releasing the ball, he added. But there's two wickets straightaway that would have been the difference. Again, we're talking about six runs. So those little things in T20 cricket, when you're chasing down a big total, which we were, they become vital in the decision-making process of a batting unit. Earlier, bowling first, Rabada picked up two wickets, while Mohammed Siraj, Ashok Sharma, Prasidh Krishna andRashid chipped in with one scalp each to restrict the Rajasthan Royals to 210/6. Hayden, however, admitted that key bowlers like Mohammed Siraj, Rabada and Rashid little bit off their rhythm. I felt like a lot of our bowlers were just a little bit off their rhythm and their line in particular. KG Rabada's figures, I think, were a bit more expensive than perhaps what he bowled today. I thought he was actually pretty good and same too with Rashid. Siraj had an off day, simple as that. When we reviewed his pitch map, he was a little bit too short, a little bit too wide, and that's just a great bowler just having an off day. Whereas I thought Rashid actually could have had a much better day. It could have been a couple more wickets in the wicket column and so too with KG Rabada as well. Hayden, however, admitted that key bowlers like Mohammed Siraj, Rabada and Rashid little bit off their rhythm.

Please Do Not Slam Any Player: India Great's Humble Plea To CSK Fans Amid Poor Start In IPL 2026
Chennai Super Kings are off to a poor start in the Indian Premier League 2026.
Chennai Super Kings: Punjab Kings young star Priyansh Arya said that the main focus of both players is to win the match and not focus on individual records after his blistering knock of 39 runs helped the team register a dominant five-wicket win against Chennai Super Kings at M.A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday. Coming to chase a big target of 210 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, Punjab Kings openers Arya and Prabhsimran gave the team an excellent start as they scored 55 runs in just 4 overs, with Priyansh playing the attacking role while Prabhsimran supported the young star. Priyansh lauded Prabhsimran's consistency and said that his strike rotation keeps the pressure off. Prabh bhai is 'Mr. Consistent for me now because of how he performs in every match. I really enjoy batting with him as he keeps rotating the strike and doesn't let the pressure build. It doesn't matter who is doing the scoring; as long as the team benefits, that is all that matters, Priyansh said after the match. Meanwhile, his partner Prabhsimran revealed that they aim to give a good start to the team, and it doesn't matter if the runs come from which players bat. Our aim is never about scoring a 50 or a 100. The intent is always to give the team a start that makes the chase easier. Priyansh started brilliantly today, scoring nearly 40 in just 11 balls. I was struggling to find my rhythm early on, so the way he batted really helped the team and me, he said. Meanwhile, his partner Prabhsimran revealed that they aim to give a good start to the team, and it doesn't matter if the runs come from which players bat.

IPL 2026: Rashid Leads GT In Gills Absence, Kushagra Earns Debut As RR Opt To Bat
Indian Premier League: Rashid Khan will be leading the Gujarat Titans in the absence of regular skipper Shubman Gill, who has been rested owing to a muscle spasm, as the Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bat in the ninth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday. GT will be desperate to open their account this season after falling just short in their opening outing against the Punjab Kings. Despite putting up a respectable 162/6 with the bat, they were unable to defend it, as the bowlers failed to hold their nerves in the closing stages, allowing Punjab to chase down the target with five deliveries to spare. RR, meanwhile, come into the contest brimming with confidence following a commanding victory over Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati. Delivering a complete performance, they bundled out CSK for just 127 before wrapping up the chase with ease inside 13 overs. Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger led the charge with the ball, while young Vaibhav Suryavanshi caught the eye with an explosive fifty. Looking at past encounters, GT have generally enjoyed the upper hand in this rivalry, winning six of the eight matches played between the two teams. RR have managed two victories, including their most recent meeting in April 2025. Notably, the Titans also came out on top when the two sides first faced off in April 2022, making this an interesting contest to watch. Winning the toss, RR skipper Riyan Parag said, We are going to be batting first. We have to assess and adapt to different conditions. Hopefully, we will put up a good score around 210 and defend it later on. We want to be a team that can play in all conditions. I want it to be a team that is flexible. We don't want to play one brand of cricket. We don't want to be a team that only scores or bowls for 200 runs or 250 runs. I think, like I said, I want us to assess the pitch, play through all conditions that the IPL offers to us, and be good at it. So I think that's the message. Two changes. Tushar Deshpande comes in for Brijesh, and Shubham Dubey comes in for Bishnoi. Meanwhile, GTs stand-in captain Rashid Khan said, We wanted to bowl first as well. Fresh wicket and I feel like there will be some help for the bowlers initially, but we are quite happy with the toss so far. Gill has got a bit of a muscle spasm, hopefully he will be back soon. KK (Kumar Kushagra) is playing his first game and look forward to seeing him play. I think we played good cricket (in the last game). I feel that in the last game as well, it was a very close game, but there were some areas we need to improve our bowling, and also with the batting. And we spoke a lot about that in the meetings, and we just need to bring our A-game here and give our 100%. So I feel like we did really well in the last game as well, but we take the positive things from that and we keep improving our skills in our game.

IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch RCB Vs CSK, Know All Details
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will aim to build on a strong start to their title defence when they face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the second game of Sundays Indian Premier League (IPL) double-header at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB began their campaign on a positive note with a convincing home win over Sunrisers Hyderabad. Opting to field first, they kept the visitors in check at 201, with Jacob Duffy and Romario Shepherd playing key roles by picking up three wickets apiece. The chase was handled with authority, as Devdutt Padikkals explosive 61 off just 26 deliveries, along with an unbeaten 69 from Virat Kohli, guided Bengaluru to a six-wicket victory with plenty of overs remaining. In contrast, Chennai Super Kings are still searching for their first win of the season after back-to-back setbacks. They were initially outplayed by the Rajasthan Royals and then suffered another defeat at home against the Punjab Kings. Despite posting a formidable 209, CSK were unable to defend the total, as Punjab chased it down comfortably with contributions from Shreyas Iyer and Priyansh Arya, sealing the result with time to spare. With Bengaluru carrying early momentum and Chennai under pressure to respond, the encounter sets up as a crucial early-season test for both sides. When: Sunday, April 5, 7:30 PM IST Where: M.

IPL 2026: 'Opening Partnership Set Up The Game,' Says Ponting After PBKS Win Over CSK
Chennai Super Kings: Head coach Ricky Ponting lauded Punjab Kings (PBKS) opening pair for setting up the chase and also praised the bowling unit after their win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 7th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday. Ponting said the opening partnership played a key role in laying the foundation for the successful run chase of 210 runs in just 18.4 overs on a high-scoring pitch. Great game of cricket, the right team ended up coming out on top, it was an incredibly good run chase, one that I was pretty confident with at the halfway mark, but I think if we wind the clock back right at the start, I mean obviously a very good pitch, I'm really actually quite glad that the bowling group tried and probably exhausted almost every option, we tried everything, Ponting said in a dressing room video released by PBKS. He was particularly impressed with the aggressive intent shown by the openers Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh, which allowed the team to stay ahead of the required rate from the onset as the team scored 55 runs in just four overs. Priyansh, that's as good a ball striking as I think I've ever seen. That opening partnership, I know Prabh, you were probably a little bit disappointed with yourself tonight, because you, well I just spoke to you then, you probably got a little bit caught up in what Priyansh was doing, but one thing you need to know mate, you just need to keep playing your way, playing your game. You've ended up with 43 off 34 anyway, in an incredibly good opening partnership, that partnership set up the game, he added. Ponting said the early momentum gave him full confidence in the batting group during the chase. He also lauded Cooper Connolly for excellent knock. Koop's (Cooper Connolly) outstanding again, just coming in and playing your way, the intent to that run chase, I mean I know when you're chasing 210, you've got to go out and you've got to throw caution to the wind, but after the first six overs I wasn't concerned at all, I just had that much confidence in this batting group and the way that we were going to go about it, Ponting said. He also highlighted the contribution of the bowlers in a high-scoring match, noting that the team managed to stay in the contest despite a flat pitch. Ponting praised Yuzvendra Chahal who gave away just 21 runs and took an important wicket.

Arguably No.1 Against Spin: Karim Hails Iyer After Match-winning Knock Vs CSK
Chennai Super Kings: Former India cricketer Saba Karim heaped praise on Shreyas Iyer following his impressive half-century for Punjab Kings (PBKS) against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 7 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday. Iyer played a key knock of 50 off 29 balls, showcasing his ability to control the innings and accelerate when needed. His performance played an important role in Punjab Kings chasing a target of 210 runs in 18.4 overs, breaching Chennais stronghold for the second consecutive time. Karim feels that Iyer continues to be underrated despite his consistent performances. Today was one such example where he showed why he's so different from the other batters we've seen so far. Even in the T20 format, he looks so flawless; he has so much time. I think he's arguably the No. 1 batter against spin bowling, talking about white-ball cricket, including one-day and T20, Karim told ESPNCricinfo. And even against pace bowlers, since he has started to work on his square shots towards the on side, I think he has become a much better or a more rounded kind of a batter who's very difficult to contain, he added. Karim also highlighted the improvement in Iyers approach and technique, which has helped him become more effective across conditions and against different types of bowling. He gets into such strong positions before he faces a delivery. Look at his trigger movement: he goes back, so the weight of his body goes from one leg to the other, Karim said. Then the front leg opens up quite easily, and then he goes bang. So I think that is one area where he has worked very hard, he said. It also allows him to play the short delivery well. So he can go either on the front foot or transfer his weight a little bit, and smash it down the ground or over the square-leg or midwicket boundary, he added.
