IPL 2026: 'We Will Rally Around Him', Badani Backs Struggling Kuldeep To Find Peak Form
Chennai Super Kings: Following an eight-wicket defeat to Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2026, Delhi Capitals head coach Hemang Badani threw his weight behind a struggling Kuldeep Yadav, insisting the franchise will rally around the senior wrist-spinner to help him rediscover his peak form. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, DCs spinners failed to match the control offered by CSK spinners Akeal Hosein and Noor Ahmad, who combined for 341. While DC skipper Axar Patel managed 125 in four overs, including bowling two overs in power-play, Kuldeep endured another difficult night by leaking 34 runs in three overs without taking a wicket. We would ideally want Kuldeep to be better than this. But we will rally around him. He's been somebody who's been a part of this side for many, many years and has done well. I think he can turn this around, said Badani in the post-match press conference. Once regarded as Delhis banker in the middle overs, Kuldeep hasnt gained his edge this season. In 30 overs of IPL 2026, Kuldeep has picked only seven wickets at an economy rate of 10.36 and has conceded 24 sixes the most by any spinner in the competition. On Tuesday, he and left-arm pacer T Natarajan together gave away 73 runs in 5.3 overs despite a surface offering grip and turn, as Sanju Samson duly cashed on them to hit an unbeaten 87. I think it's more the case of just about somebody's striking form. He hasn't struck peak form yet. He hasn't bowled at the speeds that he would normally bowl. I think it's a question of time. I mean, we have the faith in him. More than anything else, it's crunch time for us. It's quite simple for us. It's more like a knockout tournament for us right now. We have to win 4 in 4 games and we still have a chance to qualify, added Badani. Though Axar was at his economical best with the ball on Tuesday, his batting returns have nosedived further. With the bat, Axar has managed just 33 runs - 26 of them came against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. His runs have come at a strike rate of 89.18 a steep drop from last year when he was DCs fourthhighest scorer with 263 runs at a strike rate of 157. His dismissal for just two on Tuesday was DCs third wicket to fall from overs 8-11 and led to DC being 69/5 in 11 overs. Once a reliable middleorder presence, Axars decline with the bat has left a big void in DCs batting returns at a time when his side needs stability. With Axar, I think it's again a question of somebody who's (trying to find form). There are people who have played cricket at the highest level like hes a double World Cup winner. You work with them and you give them the faith. They have the faith in themselves in the sense that they have played the game. They have figured out the ways and means of going through the grind, struggles and how you come back. They've done it all and I have the faith that he'll come good. He's had a wonderful time with the ball and those figures, I would take it on any given day, added Badani. Though DC found some spark in their innings via a 65-run stand between Tristan Stubbs (38) and Sameer Rizvi (40 not out), it wasnt enough for them to stop a composed Samson from taking them home. Fair to say that (CSK batters applied themselves better than DC batters). But I think in hindsight, it's a lot easier for a side to feel 20 overs and then understand what the surface would be when they bat second and that pretty much what happened. Well, it's for them to decide in the middle at that point in time. As in, how do we progress, and take the game forward. They are the ones batting in the middle. They probably would have assessed it and felt that at this point, we want to be a bit more cautious and not lose a couple more wickets because we were already five down. Maybe take the game slightly deeper and that would have been the mindset. The nature of pitches has been of differing nature and something DC havent been able to figure out. Against PBKS, pitch number six was an absolute road in the afternoon. Pitch number five for the game against RCB blew them away, while pitch number four for the clash against CSK was sticky, had low bounce and enough for spinners to make merry. There's no local side that gets benefit out of the surfaces. You play what is presented to you. Yes, it's been a bit of an up-and-down curve for us to understand what are we going to get at Delhi, which is our home. One game was a 265 chase, another one was 75 all out. Again, this was a surface which spun, but there's little control that any side has on surfaces. It's not about us and the whole comp itself is quite neutral that way. Every side has to find a way to win those games. Ideally, you want to have some consistency. There's no local side that gets benefit out of the surfaces. You play what is presented to you. Yes, it's been a bit of an up-and-down curve for us to understand what are we going to get at Delhi, which is our home. One game was a 265 chase, another one was 75 all out. Also Read: Live Cricket Score So he was smart. But one can do that is purely because when he's seen 20 overs behind the stumps, and saw the surface and the balls closest as a wicketkeeper. Let's not forget, he's a class player. Sanju has been a class player for a while. There's a reason he's in the national side. There's a reason he's won the Man in the Series at the World Cup, concluded Badani. Article Source: IANS

Ipl 2026: How Akeal & Noor Deconstructed DCs Batting Order
Chennai Super Kings: For a long time, a key marker for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) having a good time in the IPL has been tied to their spinners making merry with the ball. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, where yellow easily outnumbered blue jerseys in stands, Akeal Hosein and Noor Ahmad provided for that merry making with the ball to help the five-time champions get a decisive win. In IPL 2025, Ahmad lacked support as Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja were far off from their prime. With the veteran spinners exiting CSK set-up ahead of IPL 2026, Hoseins acquisition at the auction was the ideal way to fill in that huge void. Hence, its no surprise that Hoseins inclusion from April 11 after three early defeats has coincided with a sharp turnaround in CSKs fortunes the latest of which got them a clinical eight-wicket win over DC. On a sticky pitch, there was ample turn and grip for spinners in the first half. Add to it, the ball was coming slower off the pitch with low bounce, which meant pacers could benefit from employing slower balls and hard lengths. In that scenario, Hoseins control in power-play and Ahmads middleovers strikes reduced DC to 61/5 and that went a long way in CSK getting two crucial points. While the scorecard reflected a comprehensive win, Hosein said dismantling DCs top-order was no accident, and credited meticulous homework for the same. I think homework is very important. You want to have that head start when you come up against whichever batter you're going to face. It's just about making assessments as quickly as possible. You might come up on a pitch that is spinning and then the one that isn't spinning. Thankfully I can spin and swing the ball. So it's just about picking which deliveries will give you the most success on a particular day and against a particular batter, he said in the post-match press conference. With two right-handed openers at the crease, CSK wasted no time in deploying Hosein from the get go. Despite conceding a first ball boundary to Pathum Nissanka, Hosein found turn to beat Nissanka and went up for a loud lbw appeal on the fourth ball. Though CSK didnt go for the review due to the ball going over stumps, CSK persisted with Hosein, especially with DC batters not being too proactive. With Nitish Rana coming to the middle after Nissankas fall, it was a bid by the hosts to deny Hosein a return to the crease, due to the left-arm-spinner versus left-handed batter match-up being amongst cricket's most rigid conventions. But then switching Hoseins end from Willingdon Pavilion to the North Stand paid immediate rewards as he got grip and beat a lofting KL Rahul in flight to get his scalp. With Karun Nair facing four balls, Rana could only play a dot ball, as DC closed the powerplay at 37/2. Hosein's final figures would read as 1-19 in four overs, with it made sharper by the fact that only one of his four overs came outside the fielding restrictions. As per CricViz, Hosein is the most economical bowler in the powerplay this season with a dotball percentage of 64.8 and economy rate of 6.44, which further highlights that his control with the new ball has been unmatched. Noor would then come over to knock off Nair and Rana and finish with 2-22 in three overs. I think I'll speak from a match perspective. Getting the opportunity to bowl first for me is just about again making that assessment as quickly as possible and then passing on that information to Noor or even to the seamers as well if it was a bit of spin or if it's gripping or whatever the case is. So conversations with myself and Noor have been fantastic. Really happy for him that he's getting some success and like I say it's just about passing on that information to your fellow teammates so that when they come on they can do even better than you and put the team in a winning position. Changing ends wasn't my call. It was the skipper's call. But with that being said you have to be open minded and ready for any challenge or any specific end. Sometimes you may come up against a big and small side, but sometimes you try to stick to the plan. So, don't change the plan and again it's about getting hit where your boundary fielders are. I had long off and mid wicket so I know if he had to score boundaries I want to force him to those guys and luckily he got caught trying to go over long off which was good for me, elaborated Hosein. Hosein also noted that the mental aspect is just as vital as skill in stemming the run-flow in power-play. I think you need both of them. You need to have that mental and you also need to have that skill, especially when you come upon pitches that aren't conducive to spin and it's just about being disciplined as well. Having two fielders out in the power play - it's not a job where you can go searching for wickets or you can be too greedy. It's just about sticking to the plan. Yes it's a bit descriptive because you only have two guys out so it's just about being disciplined and trying to do the job for the team. At the end of the day if you don't get wickets and you bowl economically in the power play that's a damn good job you've done for the team. The dismantling of DC wasn't just about the starters. Hosein pointed to the readiness of Jamie Overton, who bowled just one over in the death overs, but took out Tristan Stubbs, who neutralised Anshul Kamboj with his usage of the crease. I bowled my fourth over outside the powerplay so it wasn't too bad. But Jamie - he's been in great form with the bat and ball but sometimes it's just the way the cookie crumbles. He didn't bowl much but it just goes to show that it's very important to stay in tack with the game and stay in tune with the game and understand when you're called upon you have a plan and you're ready to execute. Seeing Jamie come and bowl such a brilliant over in the death overs under pressure to guys set, and to execute like that for the team was fantastic. Even though he could have easily felt that he was out of the game because he hadn't bowled an over, it was very good and I must applaud Jamie for staying in tack with the game and understanding what was his role and function at that time and he executed brilliantly. I bowled my fourth over outside the powerplay so it wasn't too bad. But Jamie - he's been in great form with the bat and ball but sometimes it's just the way the cookie crumbles. He didn't bowl much but it just goes to show that it's very important to stay in tack with the game and stay in tune with the game and understand when you're called upon you have a plan and you're ready to execute. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I think it can be difficult, but at the end of the day, you have to be open-minded and for me it's whatever the team requires and for us as players it's whichever player is required on that given day. So we're very open to whatever decisions is made. We know the staff are doing what's best for our team and putting the best eleven on the park for that particular opposition on that particular day, signed off Hosein, after playing a vital hand on a night when the sea of yellow was elated on seeing CSKs victory making huge noise in New Delhi.

IPL 2026: Top-order Collapse Sabotaging DCs Impact Player Strategy, Admits Badani
Chennai Super Kings: Delhi Capitals head coach Hemang Badani admitted that the teams recurring top-order collapses are not only costing them matches but are also affecting their tactical flexibility, especially in terms of using the Impact Player rule. In DC getting an eight-wicket thrashing at the hands of Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday night, the hosts lost control of how they intended to play. Last week, in their infamous 75 all out against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, they struggled on a pitch with swing and bounce to be 8/6. On pitch number four, which looked a bit dry and had some bite for both spinners and pacers, DC found themselves at 69/5 in 11 overs. In both of the aforementioned games, early wickets changed their strategy of impact player usage from being a tactical instrument, it was now a rescue mechanism to get a respectable total on board. Thankfully, contributions from remodelled impact player strategy have come - Abishek Porel hit 30 against RCB; while Sameer Rizvi, facing his former franchise CSK, top-scored with 40 not out off 24, thus giving DC bowlers a target worth defending. For a side that has fluctuated between massive totals and below-par scores this season, the lack of a batting cushion has had a domino effect on their bowling strategy DC were one bowler (Vipraj Nigam) light, which meant Sanju Samson paced his unbeaten 87 brilliantly to take CSK home. Badani pointed out that the game was effectively lost for DC in the first 10 overs with the bat. You would ideally want a Starc and Ngidi bowling at the top. Yes, there is merit to your question about Vipraj coming into play. That's exactly the reason why we have him as an impact option. That option is available to us when we bat well. The minute we bat well, we don't have to go to the extra batter and you bring in Vipraj. If it's a surface which has a bit more pace or is slightly pace friendly, then you have someone like Auqib (Nabi) who's in the impact options. Those options are pretty much there, but the bottom line is we have to play good cricket. We can have multiple conversations about a lot of permutations and combinations, but the end result is when you play good cricket, these things just fall in place. I thought the game was lost in the first 10 overs when we didn't get enough. We were about 70 for 5. You don't want to be 70 for 5 even if it's a tough surface, said Badani in the post-match press conference. What makes it worse is that DCs squad imbalance is purely self-inflicted. The decision to carry three overseas batters while relying on domestic seamers to shoulder the bowling load was always a gamble. When that plan failed, DC pivoted, but it cost them the presence of David Miller, as they chose to bring back Nissanka in Jaipur when Sahil Parakh picked an injury. Against CSK, those compromises converged: Nissanka again failed to get a substantial score, and Nigam sat unused on the bench. It meant DCs powerplay record in IPL 2026 took another beating - they have now lost 21 wickets in the first six overs in ten matches, averaging just 23.85 runs per wicket at a run-rate of 8.35, with nearly half their deliveries - 46.4 percent being dot balls. On all four measures, no franchise has fared worse. Moreover, in spin-friendly conditions, DC decided to play Karun Nair ahead of Rizvi, whos stronger in facing spinners. Despite the tactical mis-steps, Badani refused to pinpoint individuals, and instead called for a collective lift as DC find themselves in the perform or perish territory. As a side, you obviously don't want to be 60/5 or 50/5. That's not the position any side wants to be. Any coach, when he has to answer this question, the reply would be very straightforward that ideally you want to be 100/1 or 120/1. That's not the situation that any side wants to be. But then it comes to a point where you have to make a decision and that's pretty much where we are. If we are 50/5, the only option is to bring in a batter and that's the way forward. I think collectively as a side, we need to play better. I don't think I would pinpoint Axar. If you're 76 all out in a game, one game you've got 265 on the board and you don't defend that. You lose one game by one run and You lose another game like this when you're 60/5. So it's not one person. We'll have to play better cricket as a side and that's the bare facts of life. But then it comes to a point where you have to make a decision and that's pretty much where we are. If we are 50/5, the only option is to bring in a batter and that's the way forward. I think collectively as a side, we need to play better. I don't think I would pinpoint Axar. Also Read: Live Cricket Score If we can try and get that in the next few days, for the next few games, I think we should be okay. I know it's crunch time for us and we all recognize that. Everyone understands that in the dressing room and the dugout. Everyone knows that this is where we are now. It's as simple as that - just perform or perish, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

Congress to support Vijay's TVK for govt formation in Tamil Nadu: Sources
New Delhi, May 06: The Tamil Nadu Congress has decided to support TVK leader Vijay in forming a secular government in the state, sources said. The decision to support the TVK was taken at an urgent meeting of the Political Affairs Committee (PAC) of Tamil Nadu Congress late on Tuesday night. AICC in-charge for Tamil Nadu Affairs of the party Girish Chodankar had called the meeting of the Committee to decide on extending support to TVK. The meeting, the sources said, was convened on Zoom and senior members expressed their views in favour of supporting the actor-turned-politician. The PAC of Tamil Nadu Congress unanimously decided to support TVK leader Thiru Vijay to form a secular government in Tamil Nadu, the sources confirmed. Earlier during the day, the Congress claimed that Vijay had sought its support for government formation in the state and informed that its leadership has directed the state unit to take a final decision on the matter, keeping in view the state's sentiments. The party, which fought the assembly election in alliance with the DMK, asserted that the mandate in the southern state is for a secular government and that it is determined ot to have the BJP and its proxies run the government of Tamil Nadu in any manner. Top Congress leaders held a meeting at party chief Mallikarjun Kharge's residence on Tuesday evening that was attended by Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and Tamil Nadu in-charge Girish Chodankar, among others. Addressing the media after the meeting, Congress general secretary, Organisation, K C Venugopal had said the party leadership discussed the post-election scenario in the southern state. TVK President Thiru Vijay has requested the Indian National Congress for support to form a Government in Tamil Nadu, he said. The INC is clear that the mandate in Tamil Nadu is for a secular government that is committed to protecting the Constitution in letter and spirit. The INC is determined not to have the BJP and its proxies run the Government of Tamil Nadu in any manner, he said. Venugopal said the Congress leadership has directed the TNCC to take a final decision on Thiru Vijay's request, keeping in view the sentiments of the state reflected in the electoral verdict. Vijay's TVK won 108 seats in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly, falling short of the halfway mark. He needs the support of 10 MLAs to form a government with a simple majority. The results were declared only on Monday. The Congress has won five seats, while the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) has bagged four seats. The CPI and CPI-M have two seats each. The outgoing ruling party, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), has won 59 seats while the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) has won 47 seats. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has won only one seat, and so have the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) and the Amma Makkal Munnettra Kazagam (AMMK), while the VCK has won two seats. The Congress had fought the assembly polls in a pre-poll alliance with the DMK, while the BJP had a tie-up with the AIADMK.

NIA chargesheets doctor, 2 others in ISIS-linked bioterror plot to carry out mass poisoning
New Delhi, May 06: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a chargesheet against three people, including a doctor, for their alleged involvement in an ISIS-linked conspiracy to carry out mass poisoning in public spaces using a biological toxin, an official statement said. The accused -- Hyderabad-based Dr Syed Ahmed Mohiuddin and co-accused Azad and Mohammad Suhel from Uttar Pradesh -- have been chargesheeted before a special NIA court in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, the statement, issued on Tuesday, said. Working under the guidance of their respective Islamic State-linked foreign-based handlers, the accused had operated in a coordinated manner to recruit vulnerable youth radicalised by the handlers to support jihad and spread terror through prohibited weapons and bioterrorism, said the NIA statement. They had planned to use ricin, a highly toxic substance derived from castor seeds and classified under Schedule I of the Chemical Weapons Convention, to carry out the efarious agenda of ISIS, it said. The case was originally registered by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) following the arrest of Dr Mohiuddin, an MBBS from China, after he was caught at a toll plaza carrying illegal weapons, a bottle containing four litres of castor oil, and other incriminatory articles in his car in November 2025. Investigation by the ATS had led to the arrest of the other two accused the same day. Azad and Suhel were found to have earlier picked up parcels of money and prohibited weapons from a dead-drop site in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan, and dropped them at a location in Chhatral, Gujarat, for Moinuddin to pick up, the probe agency said. After taking over the investigation in January 2026, the NIA found that Moinuddin had been promised the position of ISIS Amir of South Asia by his handler. He had allegedly converted his Hyderabad residence into a clandestine laboratory for preparing ricin, the statement said. The agency further said that Azad and Suhel had knowingly participated in the conspiracy. Their roles included maintaining communication with handlers, receiving and utilising proceeds of terror, conducting reconnaissance, and handling illegal arms and ammunition. Suhel acted as a crucial link between the handler and other co-accused for recruitment, coordination, and handling of funds and weapons consignments. He also conducted reconnaissance, recorded Bay'ah (oath of allegiance) videos, and prepared ISIS flags, it said.

A Sweet Season: Kashmirs strawberries aim for bigger markets
Tucked into the lush plains of Srinagar, Gassu wears its nickname with quiet pride. Locals call it Kashmir's Strawberry Village not merely as a tourist branding exercise, but as a statement of identity rooted in generations of cultivation. Nearly every strawberry that makes its way to a market stall, a roadside stall, or a hotel breakfast plate across the Kashmir Valley traces its origin to this small, industrious community. The fruit is Gassu's signature, its livelihood, and increasingly, its most fragile inheritance. This season, after a bruising 2025, the village is breathing easier but not without reservation. This village is called Strawberry Village because the strawberries grown in Kashmir Valley are from this village, said Manzoor Ahmad, a veteran strawberry grower who has spent decades tending these fields. This year, thanks to Allah, the situation is normal. Because of this, the compensation will be done we will make up for what we lost last year. Standing amid rows of plants heavy with ripening red fruit, Ahmad's relief was palpable, though his words carried the careful optimism of a man who knows how quickly a season can turn. The shadow of 2025 still falls long over Gassu. The Pahalgam terror attack that year sent shockwaves through the valley's tourism and agricultural economy alike, disrupting supply chains, unsettling buyers, and severing the informal trade networks that small-scale strawberry farmers depend on to move their produce quickly. The psychological toll on the community was equally heavy tourism, a crucial supplementary income stream for many farming families, nearly collapsed overnight. The weather compounded the misery. An unusually severe heat wave struck during a critical phase of the growing season, parching crops, accelerating fruit spoilage, and dramatically shortening the harvestable window. Last year there was a little heat wave. This year, there was a heat wave first, but then the rains continued which is better for this crop, Ahmad recalled. So this year, thanks to Allah, the fruit is good. The alternating warmth and sustained rainfall this season created near-ideal growing conditions, encouraging healthy fruit development, improving berry size, and deepening the sweetness that Gassu strawberries are prized for. Farmers say this season's produce is noticeably superior to last year's in both quality and volume, raising genuine hopes for stronger market prices and a return to financial stability after two difficult years. Yet even as the harvest brightens, a more structural worry runs quietly through Gassu's farming community. Strawberry cultivation, Ahmad is frank to acknowledge, is among the most labour-intensive forms of agriculture practised anywhere in the valley. Unlike apple or walnut orchards, which require relatively little daily intervention through the growing season, strawberry fields demand relentless hands-on attention careful planting, precise irrigation, vigilant pest management, and delicate hand-picking at harvest to avoid bruising the fragile fruit. There is a little more effort in this. And the next generation of youth are not taking the initiative to stay with it, said Ahmad, his concern unmistakable. The numbers tell the story plainly. Last year, we had a maximum of five canals under cultivation. This year, I think we have two and a half canals. We have reduced it because it requires more manpower. The contraction is striking cultivated area nearly halved in a single season, not due to lack of demand or poor soil, but simply because there are not enough willing hands to tend the fields. Young people from Gassu, like young people across rural Kashmir, are increasingly drawn toward urban employment, government jobs, and trades that promise more predictable returns with less physical toil. The fields that once absorbed entire families through the growing season now go partially untended. Farmers in Gassu have a clear, specific demand from the government: a dedicated goods train service to transport their produce efficiently to markets in other Indian states. The appeal gained fresh momentum this year after authorities successfully ran a trial freight service for cherry transportation from the valley a move that proved rail logistics for perishable Kashmiri horticultural produce is not only feasible but commercially promising. If we talk about the goods train, this is a good initiative, said Ahmad. Because if this year they did it for the cherries, then next year we will try to do it for the strawberries so that the fruit can be exported. The case is straightforward and urgent. Strawberries are among the most time-sensitive of all commercial fruits, spoiling within 48 hours of harvest if not kept cool and moved swiftly. The Jammu-Srinagar National Highway, the primary road artery connecting the valley to the rest of India, is notoriously unreliable prone to landslides, traffic congestion, and seasonal closures that can strand perishable cargo for hours or even days. Road transport, in short, is a gamble that farmers increasingly cannot afford to take. A dedicated rail link, Ahmad and his fellow growers argue, would transform their economics. Faster, more reliable transit would slash spoilage rates, reduce dependence on expensive cold-chain logistics, and open access to high-value urban markets in Delhi, Amritsar, Chandigarh, and beyond markets where premium Kashmiri strawberries could command prices that make the trade genuinely attractive to a younger generation weighing their options.

Chennai Super Kings: Wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson underlined his growing stature in Chennai Super Kings lineup with a matchwinning 87 not out, leading them to an eight-wicket win over Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026. After leading CSK to a crucial win, Samson said his calm approach and sticking to basics have been key to him making runs in the yellow jersey this season. They're calling me Chetta, but I like Sanju more. You try to see what works well, stick to the basics, and trust your hands to do the rest. I just stuck to the process, and it's working out well. I've been doing it for the last 3-5 years, it's a tactical bit as well, I move around a bit according to the bowlers. I'm always like this. The biggest change is you're seeing more of me, but I'm always calm, Samson said after being named Player of the Match. Samsons innings meant CSK never looked in trouble and chased down 156 with 15 balls to spare. He also shared an unbroken 114-run stand with youngster Kartik Sharma.

Looking at what we were chasing and how the wicket was behaving, even if we were 30 or 35 for 1 in the batting PP, looking at the shots I can play in the middle overs and against the spinners, I was confident about scoring runs. On missing the century, Samson, who previously hit an unbeaten hundred against DC in this season at Chepauk, said, Hundreds are always special. There was a desire, but I had to be a bit too selfish to get it. My partner was playing well and winning the game gave me more confidence and happiness.

IPL 2026: Gaikwad Hails Samson As CSKs backbone, Credits Bowlers For Turnaround
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said the teams revival in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 has been built on the quiet efficiency of its bowlers, while describing wicketkeeper- batter Sanju Samson as the backbone of the batting unit after his matchwinning unbeaten 87 against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Tuesday. Samsons knock ensured that CSK chased down 156 with 15 balls remaining and are at ten points, which is just two points away from the crowded top five in the points table. I think even initially, after the 2nd and 3rd game, Flem and myself were positive, we were closer to what we were last year. Sanju had come along, and the bowling was doing well. We then got a couple of wins, and everyone started to gel together, Gaikwad said after the match ended at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. On Samsons knock, where timing and power made for a fantastic combination, Gaikwad was effusive in his praise. On the batting side, more than grateful to have Sanju after the tournament he had in the WC, he's our backbone. But it's the bowlers who do the job. Akeal and Jamie come and silently do the job. Anshul is someone who does his job silently. He had a bad game today, but they've all come well together, he added. Sanju had come along, and the bowling was doing well.
