IPL 2026: Kevin Pietersen Predicts Top 4 Teams After First Round Matches
Indian Premier League: Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has made an early prediction of the four teams that can make it into the playoffs of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 after watching the first round matches, where every franchise played a minimum of one match. The former Delhi Capitals mentor feels that the Mumbai Indians (MI), Delhi Capitals (DC), Rajasthan Royals (RR), and Punjab Kings (PBKS) could face each other in the playoffs. He also added that unexpected player injuries could change these standings. Having watched the first round of matches in the IPL this season, as it stands, just on observations, this could be the top 4. MI, DC, RR, PUNJAB. This can all change with injuries, etc., but thats how I see it atm, Pietersen wrote in a post on X. The biggest exclusion from his playoffs list is the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who started off their campaign with a dominant win against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). According to Pietersen, RCB's middle order form and Hazelwood's fitness are the main reasons behind keeping the 2025 champions out. My concern with RCB is their middle overs and spinners. And Hazlewoods fitness. Remember - bowlers win you championships, He wrote on X. Pietersen also feels that no target is safe in this season after seeing RCB and Mumbai Indians chasing 200 plus total easily. According to him, toss has become very important. The mad thing, though, about this season, is batters dont know how hard to go in the first innings. Whats a good score? Averaging it out, can you actually win most of your games batting first? The toss is as important as your team! he added. According to the 45-year-old, five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK), three-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), and 2016 title winners Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have to do something extraordinary and bring massive change to be title contenders.

IPL 2026: DC Eyes Victory On Home Turf Against Formidable MI In High-stakes Clash (Preview)
When Delhi Capitals: When Delhi Capitals take on Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday afternoon, it will be more than just another league game in IPL 2026. The first game of the tournament's opening double-header is a high-stakes contest between a side seeking winning consistency at home and a five-time champion side who have historically thrived in New Delhi. Since 2022, MI have won five of seven encounters between the two sides, including both meetings last season. Even at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, MI have prevailed in three of the last four games against DC. With the Met Department issuing a yellow alert for Saturday, Axar Patel's men provided the rain stays away - will need to script something different to begin their home leg on a high. DC managed just one home win here in five attempts last season, and the urgency to change that begins now. DC's fortunes with the bat will hinge significantly on KL Rahul, who bagged a golden duck against Lucknow Super Giants. Against MI, however, Rahul has been in a class of his own - averaging 69.7 across 20 innings with six half-centuries and three hundreds. He needs just 24 more runs to complete 1,000 IPL runs against this opposition, though the threats are real. Trent Boult has dismissed him thrice in the IPL, and Jasprit Bumrah, despite a wicketless first outing, has taken him out twice. Bumrah remains MI's most potent weapon against DC, having claimed 30 IPL wickets against them, the most scalps for any bowler against a single franchise. But Bumrah does carry one vulnerability in New Delhi: an economy rate of 9.4, his joint-highest at any IPL venue. Beyond Rahul, DC will look to Axar, Pathum Nissanka and Nitish Rana for sizeable contributions, while Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs provide the side an assured look lower down the order. Rizvi, used as an impact player against LSG, began cautiously before exploding to hit an unbeaten 70 off 47 balls. His authority against spin sets up a fascinating contest against MI's slow-bowling options, particularly if Mitchell Santner returns to the playing eleven. Stubbs, meanwhile, brought composure when DC were in trouble and anchored the chase with a measured 39 not out off 32 balls. At a ground where he averages 54.6 and has a strike-rate of 194, the South African could once again prove to be the difference in a close finish. With the ball, DC's spin trio of Axar, Kuldeep Yadav and Vipraj Nigam will need to produce their most disciplined effort to contain MI's batting line-up. Pacer Lungi Ngidi has been in the form of his life - 23 wickets in T20 games in 2026 - and has mastered the pace-off delivery with telling effect, as Nicholas Pooran discovered this week. That variation, which has fetched him 11 wickets at an economy rate of 6.6, poses a genuine challenge to MI's aggressive top order. T Natarajan, returning after an injury-hit 2025, announced himself by picking three wickets against LSG and will be vital at the back end for DC. MI, meanwhile, arrive buoyed by their first opening game victory after 13 seasons. Rickelton's power-hitting at the top alongside the elegance of Rohit Sharma has already made them a feared combination, and the Arun Jaitley Stadium's short square boundaries will only encourage both openers to consistently hit a flurry of boundaries. Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, captain Hardik Pandya and Sherfane Rutherford give their middle order formidable depth. But their bowling, despite Shardul Thakur's impressive three-wicket haul, carries question marks. Five bowlers used in the powerplay and 78 runs conceded in six overs against KKR is not a template MI can persist with. Hardik has taken no powerplay wickets since the start of last season at an economy of 14.3, making Boult's role upfront. Whether Boult continues to be used in the middle overs is a key tactical call to be made for Pandya. At a venue where chasing sides have won five of six matches this year, the toss could yet prove to be decisive. But time alone will tell if DC can get a winning start in their quest to make Qila Kotla a fortress or will MI depart with another win in their bag.

RCB Sold for $1.78 Billion: Full Story Behind IPLs Biggest Franchise Deal
Just before the start of the IPL 2026, the takeover of two Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises was top news on the sports as well as business and economy pages. Let us talk about Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for the time being. A consortium led by David Blitzer acquired RCB for $ 1.78 billion (INR 16,660 crore). His Bolt Ventures are joined by private equity firm Blackstone, the Aditya Birla Group, and The Times of India Group in the new ownership group, and they take over from previous owners Diageo, who had acquired RCB from United Spirits between 2012 and 2014. RBC is one of the most popular IPL sides, although they have won only one title, that too, in 2025, but have a vast fan base. This inspired the consortium to enter into a record transaction for a team playing in a single T20 cricket competition. Since its launch in 2008, the IPL has transformed not into just the most lucrative competition in world cricket but one of the most valuable properties in world sport. The amount now paid is almost double the amount paid for the Lucknow Supergiants in 2021, the last franchise sold by BCCI. This all raises a very interesting question: how was RCB created and acquired from BCCI originally and at what cost? Whosoever is reported as the owner of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on paper, now or in future, they shall always be known as Vijay Mallyas team. The name Royal Challengers belonged to him and now, while he is no longer associated with this franchise, RCB has become such a big brand that new owners have also decided to go with it and the team will remain RCB. You will be surprised to note that when in 2008 BCCI was in the process of selling the franchise for the IPL, the Bengaluru (as the city is known now) franchise was not the first choice for Vijay Mallyas United Breweries Group. They had bid for 7 out of 11 cities on offer and this included Mumbai, Bengaluru and Delhi, each priced at $111.6 million. He was not interested in Kanpur, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Cuttack and ultimately out of these four, only Jaipur emerged as a choice to form a team. The Mumbai franchise was his first choice, but in the auction held on January 24, 2008, to sell the eight franchises to kick-start the IPL, they lost the same to Reliance. Another surprise: his bid was lower to Reliance by only $0.3 million (approx. Rs 1.2 crore at that time), as if an auction scene from the Hindi film Trishul was being witnessed in the BCCI auction. Reliance took away the Mumbai franchise through a bid of $111.9 million. Now Vijay Mallyas UB Group was the front-runner for the Bengaluru as well as the Delhi franchise in the IPL. They opted for Bengaluru, in view of Vijay Mallyas connection with the city. So a $111.6 million franchise is now acquired for $1.78 billion, i.e. 1595 times more value. The United Spirits Limited (USL) started disinvestment around 2012 and by 2014, Diageo India had become a major shareholder of the Co. and simultaneously got the subsidiary Royal Challengers Sports Private Limited, which had RCB. Since then, the brand value of RCB has seen significant upward movement, further added by the addition of the Womens Premier League (WIL) franchise for the city. Now the whole package is sold for $1.78 billion (approx. Rs 16,660 core). At present, it has become the biggest sports entity in India by valuation. Although the Mumbai franchise is being valued at $2.4 billion, this value is not tested in the market. After the RCB won its maiden title, in June 2025, it was projected that it would catapult the teams brand value past $140 million. People often miss that RCB is not just a cricket team. Theyre a brand, a lifestyle. While most teams show up for two months and then disappear, RCB stays in the spotlight year-round : Jersey, Mech, RCB Bar & Caf, RCB Innovation Lab to push Indias sports tech narrative and 'Hustle by RCB', their fitness content initiative keeps fans engaged. Also Read: Live Cricket Score As such, the bid of $1.78 billion to acquire the RCB came as no surprise.
