IPL 2026: DC Are Aiming To Win At Least Five Out Of Seven Home Games, Says Kuldeep Yadav

Arun Jaitley Stadium: Delhi Capitals' (DC) left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav said the teams target in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 is to make their home games count by winning at least five of the seven matches scheduled at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Friday. After beating Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets, DC will begin their home leg of IPL 2026 by taking on five-time champions Mumbai Indians on Saturday afternoon. In IPL 2025, DC had a torrid time in New Delhi, winning just one out of five games and a win percentage standing at just 20, as they missed out on a spot in the playoffs. If we play good cricket, we can definitely aim to win five out of five (seven games) at home. We didnt discuss much about home records from last season. This time, we expect to perform well across all seven matches at home. We want to play good cricket, give our fans something to cheer about, and aim to win at least five out of seven games, said Kuldeep, while replying to a query from IANS in the pre-match press conference on Friday. Kuldeep has been a steady performer in the IPL since 2025, picking up 17 wickets in 14 innings at an economy rate of 7.1 and a strike rate of 19. Against a formidable MI batting line-up, however, Kuldeeps returns have been modest -- 10 wickets in 12 innings coming at a higher economy rate of 8.8 and a strike rate of 25. They are a strong team with a very solid batting lineup. They performed well in the first match, too. With players like Rohit bhai, Surya, Hardik, and Tilak, they have a lot of experience and quality. Indian players have consistently done well for MI over the years. We will plan accordingly and try to get them out as early as possible, he said. Kuldeep also spoke about operating under a bowling captain in left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Axar Patel. My primary role is in the field. Most of my discussions also happen there. Axar is a senior player, and with KL bhai as wicketkeeper-batter, the communication between bowlers is very good. Weve just played one match, and its been a good start. We are not under any pressure regarding our bowling unit. As the tournament progresses, we will learn more, improve, and look to put opposition teams under pressure, he said. On the batting order, Kuldeep backed the top-order players to come good after they were dismissed cheaply by LSG pacers. Nitish (Rana) has been around for a long time and is an experienced IPL player. He has delivered consistently. Pathum is a quality player as well, so theres no need to panic at the top. It was just the first match. Everyone wants a good start, but sometimes it doesnt happen. We are confident that we will perform well in the upcoming matches, he said.

IPL 2026: Confidence Comes From Preparation, Attacking Mindset Key For Spinners In T20s, Says Kuldeep

T20 Asia Cup: Delhi Capitals (DC) left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav said sticking to strengths and maintaining an attacking mindset are the crucial pointers for spinners to succeed in high-scoring situations, while stressing that his confidence to perform comes from meticulous preparation and routine. Since joining DC in 2022 season, Kuldeep has emerged as one of the most effective spinners in the IPL - with his first year in the side yielding 21 wickets - his best in a single edition of the competition. Whenever a batter puts you under pressure, theres a tendency to move away from your strengths and look for safer options to get out of the situation. But I believe you should always focus on your strengths. I usually assess the batter - how he plays, what his strengths are, and what the match situation demands. I try to read what the batter is expecting from me and stay one step ahead by predicting his next move and bowling accordingly. At the end of the day, your strength is your identity. If you are an attacking spinner, you should not move away from that. If you are contributing to the team by taking wickets, there is nothing better than that. The team also expects you to pick wickets. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt, but your mindset should always remain attacking, Kuldeep said in the pre-match press conference on Friday. Kuldeep has consistently led the DCs spin bowling attack alongside Axar Patel, and finished as their top wicket-taker in IPL 2025 with 15 scalps, after claiming 16 wickets in 2024. His international form mirrored this success, as he finished the 2025 Mens T20 Asia Cup as the leading wicket-taker with 17 wickets in seven innings though it translated into just one game for Kuldeep against Pakistan in Colombo - in Indias victorious T20 World Cup campaign. If you dont get matches, especially in tournaments like the World Cup, your preparation becomes very important. You have to stay consistent with your training so that whenever you get an opportunity, you are ready. I didnt have any shortcomings in my preparation. I always prepared myself as if I had to play the next match. That helps you maintain rhythm, which is very important. When you are in touch with the game through practice sessions and follow a proper routine, it becomes easier to perform even after a gap. Being with the team, traveling, attending practice sessions, and keeping yourself mentally ready as if you are playing the next match is key. Even if you dont play, your mindset should always be ready, he added. Kuldeep further said his confidence and wicket-taking abilities were linked to how good his preparation is ahead of a game. I believe confidence comes from preparation. How well you prepare yourself and maintain your routine is very important. If your training is good and your routine is set, confidence follows naturally. When it comes to taking wickets, its about reacting to how the batter is playing you. At the same time, batters also pre-plan - where they can score runs or which shots they want to play. When you play against someone regularly, you understand their strengths and patterns. That planning is always there in your mind. With a new batter, it becomes more challenging because you dont know their game. Confidence is key, and it always comes from preparation. Thats something everyone should remember, he elaborated. Reflecting on his life after marrying his wife Vanshika shortly post the T20 World Cup win, Kuldeep chuckled that his second innings was going well. I really enjoyed the wedding. Pressure and patience are different on the cricket field, but Im enjoying my second innings in life. It takes a little time to adjust, but we are very happy and grateful. On expectations over spinners to stem the run-flow in high-scoring games, Kuldeep remarked, You cant go into a game thinking it will definitely be high-scoring. Youngsters often assume that T20 cricket is all about big scores, and while runs are part of the format, your preparation and planning matter more. Its not necessary that you will always concede 4045 runs in your four overs. Sometimes it happens, sometimes you pick up wickets. At times, one batter might dominate you - thats part of the game. In T20 cricket, its usually one batter who takes you on, not the entire batting lineup. You have to be ready for that challenge while sticking to your strengths. Yes, batting is easier with smaller grounds, but your mindset should be about contributing to the team. An attacking mindset is very important. Handling pressure well is what helps players grow and move forward. On the case of succeeding on bowling-friendly wickets in T20s, Kuldeep said, Thats where Test cricket comes in. In T20s, it depends on how well you bowl. In the last match, LSG bowled really well - they hit the right lengths, used their pace effectively, and there was some turn as well. It was a good wicket overall, even for batters. You have to be ready for that challenge while sticking to your strengths. Yes, batting is easier with smaller grounds, but your mindset should be about contributing to the team. An attacking mindset is very important. Handling pressure well is what helps players grow and move forward. Also Read: Live Cricket Score You shouldnt overthink conditions. If everything goes your way in cricket, you wont grow as a player. Playing in different conditions, especially away from home, challenges you. Once you adapt, things become easier. Thats part of the game, and it should remain balanced for everyone, he concluded.

IPL 2026: Rohit Had A Plan And Vision, Did Quite A Bit Of Skill Work In The Off-season, Says Jayawardene

Indian Premier League: Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene lauded Rohit Sharmas preparation ahead of their clash against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, saying the veteran right-handed opener had a clear plan and vision to get himself ready for the tournament despite limited competitive cricket in recent months. In MIs first game against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium, Rohit smacked a 38-ball 78 and was at his vintage best to show the cricketing world that he still has the skill and mindset to thrive in a high-intensity tournament. At MIs practice session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Thursday, a lean-looking Rohit batted for more than an hour and was practising hard against the bowlers. Well, I think credit to him, he had a plan and vision obviously. A few of our guys who are in our setup were involved in this training, and one of them wanted to do so. Also, to get to a fitness level that he was comfortable with, he knew what he needed to do. Even though he hasn't played much competitive cricket, he did quite a bit of skill work off-season whenever he had the time. Then he joined us on our first day of the camp, and we had a chat on how we wanted to start. We did a lot of simulations and had quite a few practice matches that we played. So he was part of all that, said Jayawardene in the pre-match press conference on Friday. He added that Rohits involvement in practice matches and simulations during MIs camp helped him regain rhythm and be at his blistering best in the opening game, which the side won by six wickets. I mean, for someone who has played the game for such a long time, it's in the veins, muscle memory, and how he wanted to go about. He will react much better out there in the middle in situations. Even though he didn't have competitive cricket behind him, he knew that. I knew when I watched him batting in the nets that he was in pretty good nick. His hand speed was pretty good, and that was how he wanted to approach. It was a good start for him in the first game, and hopefully, he can continue that. I feel it's a bit tough, the tournament. But he's focused, he's relaxed. He's contributed in a very positive way in the camps, which was great for us, added Jayawardene. He further threw light on how Rohits preparation was slightly different compared to other Indian regulars like Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Yadav, who were constantly playing for the Indian team, especially in the recent T20 World Cup win. Well, I think Jasprit, Hardik, Sky, and all that, they are part of the Indian set-up. Regularly, they play white-ball cricket and are under the NCA (BCCI Centre of Excellence, Bengaluru). They have been monitored throughout by them, and we get a handover before the IPL. Rohit probably was a bit different because he hadn't played much cricket. So, he played in November (and then in January this year in ODIs against New Zealand). After that, he spoke to them about what he wanted to do with the fitness side of things. So, he took those two months to get his fitness right, and then he started doing skill work. Well, I think Jasprit, Hardik, Sky, and all that, they are part of the Indian set-up.

Irfan Pathan Helped Me Make My Debut For J&K: Aquib Nabi

Irfan Pathan: Auqib Nabi, the Jammu and Kashmir speedster, recounted his humble beginnings, drawing inspiration from Parvez Rasool and Dale Steyn, and credited former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan for his debut for the state. Delhi Capitals pacer Auqib Nabi opened up on his childhood and what drove him to become a fast bowler. I started playing cricket with tennis balls when I was in 5th or 6th grade. There was no specific place in Baramulla for practice. So, we used to play on the road or on a small school ground. I used to watch Dale Steyn a lot when I was young. The way he swung the ball at such high pace inspired me to become a fast bowler and hopefully, play for India one day. I used to get scolded a lot by my father for constantly playing cricket because I didn't have his support. He wanted me to become a doctor, Nabi told 'JioStar'. On the inspiration he got from Parvez Rasool and Irfan Pathan, Nabi said, Parvez Rasool made his debut for India by performing well for RCB in the IPL. I was very motivated to play for India after seeing him do that. Parvez bhai is one of us, hailing from a local village in Jammu and Kashmir. I made my mark for the first time during my Under-19 days when I was chosen for trials of the Jammu and Kashmir cricket team. I didn't have spiked shoes at that time, so I borrowed shoes from a senior. He had his trials in the first half, and I had mine in the second half. I made my junior debut for Jammu and Kashmir by wearing spikes that I had borrowed from a friend. When Irfan bhai joined as the mentor of Jammu and Kashmir, I was in the Under-23 team, and my performances there got his attention. He helped me make my debut for the Jammu and Kashmir senior team. He used to guide me a lot by giving me tips, and was very helpful. He is a legend of Team India, and I had a great experience with Irfan bhai, he said. Nabi was picked by the Delhi Capitals for Rs 8.2 crore in the mini auction held in Dubai last year. On the emotional moment of getting picked in the IPL auction after his Duleep Trophy heroics, Nabi said, This year, I made a rare record in the Duleep Trophy while representing the North Zone team. I picked up four wickets in four consecutive balls. After that, my name was all over the media. Once that happened, I got confidence that I might get picked in the IPL auction. On auction day, I was at home with my family, watching the auction. When my name came up, for a few seconds, no one picked up the paddle. So I thought it's okay, I will work hard and make sure I don't go unsold. But after a few seconds, the teams picked up the paddle. Everyone at home got emotional. It was years of hard work coming to fruition. The price tag pressure isn't there. I just wanted to play in the IPL and now want to make a name for myself and play for India, he added. Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan recalled the first time he saw Nabi and what impressed him, I saw Auqib Nabi for the first time in 2018. When I was the mentor of the Jammu and Kashmir cricket team, we wanted to have a strong group of eight to ten fast bowlers. We wanted to make a big group, and Auqib was one of the key fast bowlers. When I saw him for the first time, the most important thing was that he used to bowl long spells, especially in Under-23 and junior cricket. He was very impressive. Secondly, his ability to move the ball late was very impressive. On auction day, I was at home with my family, watching the auction. When my name came up, for a few seconds, no one picked up the paddle. So I thought it's okay, I will work hard and make sure I don't go unsold. But after a few seconds, the teams picked up the paddle. Everyone at home got emotional. It was years of hard work coming to fruition. The price tag pressure isn't there. I just wanted to play in the IPL and now want to make a name for myself and play for India, he added. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The zero-seam position, especially with the new ball, generates a lot of movement. Since his wrist position is amazing, he bowls with a straight seam. Many international bowlers have a straight seam, including the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami. Auqib Nabi may not have a speed of 140 kmph, but the way he bowls, it quickens off the surface after pitching. Bowling close to the stumps, he can swing it away consistently and also surprise batters with the one that comes in, and that is a major strength of Auqib Nabi, he said. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: De Kock Is The Backup Overseas Keeper, Was Easier To Start With Rickelton, Says Jayawardene

Indian Premier League: Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene said it was an easy decision for them to start with South Africa wicketkeeper-batter Ryan Rickelton as their opener alongside Rohit Sharma in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, mainly because Quinton de Kocks role in the side is that of a back-up overseas wicketkeeper. There were a few raised eyebrows when Rickelton was picked to open alongside Rohit over the more experienced de Kock, but he justified his selection by hitting a stroke-filled 83 in the Mumbai Indians' six-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), including hitting eight sixes. With MI set to play their first afternoon game of IPL 2026 against Delhi Capitals on Saturday, Rickelton will be keen to make use of Arun Jaitley Stadiums short square boundaries and give the five-time champions another blistering start in the competition. Well, when we bought Ryan at the big auction, we knew the potential. We knew what he was capable of. We have him in our SA team as well. So, the last two years, what he has done domestically and internationally has been phenomenal. When he and Ro had a great combination last year, it was very successful for us. What we did with bringing Quinny back was we saw an opportunity. It was a skeleton thing for us because the local Indian wicketkeeper-batters went for a crazy price in the small auction. So we needed a backup -- we only had Minzy (Robin Minz). We pivoted and said that we'll have an overseas backup, and Quinny fitted in brilliantly, said Jayawardene, while replying to a question from IANS, in the pre-match press conference on Friday. In the IPL, Rickelton has featured in 15 innings, scoring 469 runs at an average of 33.5 and a blistering strike rate of 156, including hitting four half-centuries. In 2026, Rickelton has been in prolific touch amassing 632 runs in 19 innings at an average of 42.1 and an even higher strike rate of 163, including three fifties and a century. Jayawardene further stressed that the franchise valued stability in its playing eleven, which meant slotting in Rickelton was a no-brainer. He knows us, and he's been scoring runs. So we've had good options depth-wise. That's something that we looked at. But I don't see that we've ever considered changing that combination. You guys know that we as a franchise have that continuity, which is very important for us. The whole group is important, and the players do buy into that. I think Quinny is not upset by anything that he's not playing. He's part of a structure, and we felt that Ryan was batting really well, and we didn't want to change something when it's not broken. So Ryan has a great way of complementing Rohit out there in the middle, and it was an easier decision for us to start with Ryan and have that continuity and back our players to the hilt, he elaborated. On the upcoming clash against DC, who are also coming off after beating Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets, Jayawardene felt the Axar Patel-led side will be formidable challengers at their home turf. It should be a good match. I think they are a very good team. I think in the IPL, every team at home is a challenge, and that's how we will look at it. First game for them here as well, so that's probably a slight advantage for us. We will still try to play to our strength, that's what we have been doing. Obviously, tactically we will have to think a few things differently for the conditions. We will prepare in the best way we can, not think too much about the opponent, but at the same time have the respect and play our best cricket, he added. Jayawardene also backed young Afghanistan mystery spinner AM Ghazanfar to come good after he conceded 51 runs against KKR, calling him a long-term prospect. I think he is one for the future. We feel that with his height, what we have seen, and what he can do, he will improve. He needs more game time. Obviously, leading up to the IPL, he didn't have much game time. He was supposed to play against Sri Lanka, but that got cancelled in the UAE. So, I mean, I am not worried. I think he bowled well. He had 4-5 bad deliveries in that entire match. So we do analyse things differently. His execution, ball speed, and everything were quite good. But we played on a really good wicket. On the same wicket, Narine went for 35-40 runs in 2-3 overs, and then Varun went for 48 as well. Obviously, leading up to the IPL, he didn't have much game time. He was supposed to play against Sri Lanka, but that got cancelled in the UAE. So, I mean, I am not worried. I think he bowled well. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Maybe later in the tournament, we will have all those options available on slower wickets. So, that's something that we looked at. But definitely, we feel that he is a great asset to have, and that's the reason why we have him at this point, he concluded. Article Source: IANS
