IPL 2026: I Marvel At How Virat Kohli Rediscovers Himself Almost Every Year, Says Karthik
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik has hailed Virat Kohlis ability to reinvent himself after every IPL season, calling it a remarkable trait that continues to inspire him as well as his teammates and youngsters alike, as the talismanic batter nears the 9000-run milestone in the competition. Kohli returns to his original home venue the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi where defending champions RCB will take on Delhi Capitals on Monday evening. Kohli boasts of an average of 66.8 with seven fifties in 11 IPL innings in New Delhi and needs just 11 runs to become the first player to reach 9000 runs in IPL history. He currently has 8989 runs, which clearly puts him ahead of Rohit Sharma (7183), Shikhar Dhawan (6769), David Warner (6565), and KL Rahul (5579). Now with Virat Kohli, the fact is that that man goes back every year and he is assessing what he has done. He almost comes with a very stubborn plan about how he wants to go about it, and he gets it done not on match days alone, but the way he practices as well. He has a method to how he goes about it, and he's constantly checking himself in practice, and there are certain days he'll bat more, certain days he'll bat less, and he has so much experience. Credit to him that man constantly rediscovers with every passing year, and for him to keep up with the pace of this game and some of the newer players are batting at insane strike rates, and he is going shoulder to shoulder with them and producing match-winning performances. So I marvel at how he rediscovers himself every year almost and that is such a big learning for me as well and I'm sure and I wish a lot of the players who watch him play also learn that with every passing year, people are looking at you and they'll come with a plan and you need to counter it with your strengths and he's done that very nicely so far, said Karthik in the pre-match press conference on Sunday. In IPL 2026, Kohli has 328 runs from seven innings at an average of 54.7 and a strike rate of 163, with a highest score of 81. He has been in sublime touch in chases this season, scoring two of his three fifties, with an average of 99.5 and a strike rate of 172 in such situations. Against DC, Kohli has amassed 1149 runs in 31 innings at an average of 47.8, including 11 fifties. With four 50-plus scores in his last five innings at Kotla, he will be keen to extend his dominance at the venue. Karthik recalled how this years U19 World Cup winners, Vihaan Malhotra and Kanishk Chouhan, have been soaking in the experience of seeing Kohli go about his business in the practice sessions. It's quite amazing and a learning experience for any young boy watching. I'm sure the likes of Vihaan and Kanishk have looked at him and been like look at how Virat bhai is practising and what he is doing differently. They've asked me as well what I think Virat bhai is doing differently from last year. Against DC, Kohli has amassed 1149 runs in 31 innings at an average of 47.8, including 11 fifties. With four 50-plus scores in his last five innings at Kotla, he will be keen to extend his dominance at the venue. Karthik recalled how this years U19 World Cup winners, Vihaan Malhotra and Kanishk Chouhan, have been soaking in the experience of seeing Kohli go about his business in the practice sessions.

IPL 2026: Krunal Pandya Is Pushing The Boundaries Of What A Finger-spinner Means, Says Karthik
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik highlighted the growing influence of left-arm spin all-rounder Krunal Pandya, saying that he should be regarded as a trend-setter because of his pushing the boundaries of what a finger-spinner should be in T20 cricket. Krunals knack for being an innovative left-arm spinner has been on full display in IPL 2026 by bowling a surprise bouncer, while switching between slinging deliveries and conventional arm ball, and varying his pace cleverly to deceive the batters. Due to his ever-evolving skill sets, Pandya has picked up eight wickets from seven matches at an average of 28.75 and an economy rate of 9.20. Krunal Pandya is a player that this game is going to remember for a long time because he is doing something that has not been done before - pushing the boundaries of what a finger-spinner means. He is bowling deliveries that people really couldn't fathom a few years ago, and he is becoming a master at it. He is using it very cleverly, very wisely when the situation demands, and he is using that as a strength of his to put pressure back on the person that he is bowling against. It's actually quite interesting to see how he goes about it mentally as well. He is not someone who is just doing it because it looks cool. He knows that given the moment when he does want to use it, it does create a doubt in the batter, and a lot of the time it delivers the result that he wants out of that ball. So he is someone who is going to be a person remembered as a cricketer. One that is a trendsetter. Today, if you see a lot of spinners trying to bowl different deliveries, I think a lot of credit must go to Krunal Pandya. He is definitely evolving as an all-rounder with every passing day, be it with the ball or the bat, and that is so wonderful to see. As I said, IPL is changing the landscape of cricket and Krunal Pandya is changing the landscape of finger spin bowling, said Karthik in the pre-match press conference, ahead of RCB taking on Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday. Karthik heaped praise on RCB skipper Patidars batting returns, with him amassing 238 runs at a high strike-rate of 210.61. Rajat Patidar is a good example of someone who is constantly upping his standards, upping the quality of shots that he's playing. As relaxed and calm as he is, he's a very thoughtful man who goes back at the end of the season and looks at areas where he could get better and works on them through the season. We are in constant touch, and he sends me some videos as to what he's practicing, and he's always on the money, and you can see the output when he does bat because as we all know, he's batting in a very special manner and the way he's able to dominate bowlers right from the outset is a sight to watch, he added. Talking about Patidar, the captain, Karthik, pointed out that being relaxed is his big strength, and he gets help from others like vice-captain Jitesh Sharma, Pandya, Virat Kohli, and others. Obviously, the results will tell you that he's been very good. Off the field, he's the calmest, most relaxed person who absorbs information and puts it to good use in-game. His strength is the fact that he has the respect in the room, and he has a nice way of handling all his bowlers. He is not someone who is too confused and is very relaxed. He has a good lieutenant in Jitesh Sharma, who guides him in the game, and some extraordinary senior players in the likes of Virat Kohli, Josh Hazlewood, Krunal Pandya, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who are very, very senior and good pros who give him a helping hand whenever it's required. But overall, Rajat has been the man that you see on screen. Somebody who's very composed, who knows what he's doing, and when the pressure and heat rise in the game, he's able to hold his own and make decisions which we definitely look at and go, that's very good given the moment and given how the game is panning out, and that's all you can ask of him as a leader. As I said, he's the warmest guy. You meet him, and you realise he's as simple a person as you can meet, and that rubs off on the field as well. On Jitesh Sharmas evolution as a keeper, Karthik credited him for working hard on improving his skill sets and catching efficiency. He has taken some fabulous catches this tournament, and because of the work that he is putting in behind the scenes. He is very meticulous. He is constantly doing drills, which are slowly but steadily upping his game. Apart from his batting, I can definitely say he is a better keeper than what he was. A lot of credit must go to the fielding coach, Mr. Richard Halsall, who has put in a lot of work behind the scenes using simple methods, but ones that have been very effective. The good thing about them is how disciplined they are with their practice. On Jitesh Sharmas evolution as a keeper, Karthik credited him for working hard on improving his skill sets and catching efficiency. He has taken some fabulous catches this tournament, and because of the work that he is putting in behind the scenes. He is very meticulous.

IPL 2026: Win Or Lose, Delhi Fans Have Just One Hero Virat Kohli
Arun Jaitley Stadium: Results may matter on the points table, but for thousands expected to pour into Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday evening, there is only one reason to be there Virat Kohli. Whether Delhi Capitals win or lose seems secondary for many supporters ahead of their high-voltage IPL clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The capital is ready to welcome home its favourite cricketing icon, with fans eager to witness Kohli in action once again on familiar turf. Delhi Capitals enter the contest after being outplayed by Punjab Kings on Saturday, but that setback is unlikely to affect the turnout. If anything, anticipation has only grown stronger with Kohlis arrival in the city. Outside the stadium and across the streets of Delhi, one emotion dominates Kohli fever. Young fans speaking ahead of the match made it clear that the evening is less about teams and more about the man who has inspired a generation. Delhi Capitals is our team, but Virat Kohli is our emotion, said one college student, proudly wearing a DC jersey. Another fan added, We just want to see him bat live. Even one cover drive from Virat is worth coming to the stadium. Such is Kohlis pull that loyalties may be divided in the stands, with blue and red jerseys mixing with chants reserved for the batting superstar. Whenever Kohli walks out to bat, the noise is expected to rise several decibels. The former RCB captain continues to command unmatched fan following wherever he plays, but Delhi remains special. It is the city where his cricketing journey began, and every return feels like a homecoming. Such is Kohlis pull that loyalties may be divided in the stands, with blue and red jerseys mixing with chants reserved for the batting superstar.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The talismanic Virat Kohli will be aiming to have another memorable outing at his original home ground as defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru look to extend their good showing in IPL 2026 over a struggling Delhi Capitals in a keenly awaited clash at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday evening. With Kohli requiring just 11 runs to become the first batsman in IPL history to hit the 9,000-run mark, the stage is set for him to add another chapter in his storied love affair with the iconic venue, where he averages a remarkable 66.8, including hitting seven fifties in 11 innings. Monday's contest pits two of the tournament's most in-form batters against each other. If RCB have Kohli in rip-roaring form, DC will be banking on KL Rahul to take charge with the bat again after his sensational unbeaten 152 off 67 balls against Punjab Kings - an innings that went in vain on Saturday afternoon. What will also cheer DC is that Nitish Rana has found his groove, hitting consecutive fifties. Second-placed RCB enter the match on the back of successfully chasing 206 against Gujarat Titans. All five of their wins this season have produced five different Player of the Match awardees. Their pace attack is at its efficient best, led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood, who have been excellent across phases - particularly in the death overs. In terms of batting, with Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar and Tim David all in great nick, RCB's ability to increase and maintain the tempo throughout their innings has been a standout factor this season. DC, however, are a wounded side looking to regroup and with just 24 hours to recover from their defeat to Punjab Kings, the turnaround is unforgiving. The loss of Lungi Ngidi to a head injury leaves a gap in their pace department, with Dushmantha Chameera likely to come in as cover. Their seam attack has been the least effective in IPL 2026, taking just 16 wickets - the fewest for any pace unit this season. Auqib Nabi and Mukesh Kumar have recorded high economy rates, while T Natarajan, though decent in the death overs, has also been expensive. Fielding has been an equally pressing concern, with DC dropping 16 catches this season and their catch efficiency standing at 60 percent - the lowest among all teams. The spin matchup, however, promises to be pivotal, with Axar Patel - DC's captain and RCB's nemesis with 23 IPL wickets against them - likely to bowl in the powerplay, while Kuldeep Yadav adds another dimension in the middle overs. If DC are to win, they will need both Axar and Kuldeep firing on all cylinders, while hoping their batting line-up can blunt the challenge from RCB's disciplined bowlers. At a venue that has produced five 200-plus totals in nine T20s this season - with teams batting second winning seven of those - another high-scoring, riveting contest is firmly on the cards. With the league stage now in its second half, Monday's contest carries significant implications beyond the two points on offer. For DC, it is a potentially season-defining test - one that demands their batting fireworks be backed by sharper execution with the ball and in the field. For RCB, who arrive with both form and a dominant 20-13 head-to-head history over DC, another win will go a long way in further enforcing their credentials in retaining their championship title.

Ricky Ponting Praises Shreyas Iyers Leadership After PBKS Record Chase
Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting heaped praise on skipper Shreyas Iyer, calling him a great leader and backing his ability to finish games after PBKS pulled off a record-breaking chase of 265 against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday. Ponting revealed his strong belief in Iyers finishing ability, stating that the team draws confidence simply from his presence at the crease in a chase. Hes a great person. And thats the reason that I went as hard as I did in the auction. I knew he was going to be a great leader and for us to rebuild this team and rebuild this franchise, he said in a video released by IPL on X. Because one thing I know is that if hes in at the end in a run chase, were not going to lose too many games. And even tonight, I went out at the 11 12 over mark. I just grabbed hold of him and said, if youre in at the end, well win the game. And he did it again, He added. Chasing a daunting 265,PBKS rode on explosive starts from Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya before Iyer anchored the innings with a composed unbeaten 71 off 36 balls to seal victory with seven balls to spare. Ponting further highlighted Prabhsimran's partnership with Priyansh Arya, noting how their contrasting styles helped PBKS maintain control of the chase. And the partnership that he (Prabhsimran) and Priyansh have together is pretty amazing. They complement each other really well. Left hand, right hand. Both hit different parts of the ground. While praising the batting unit, Ponting acknowledged there are still areas for improvement, especially in fielding and bowling, despite the big win. Its satisfying that youve got the highest run chase, but to have the highest run chase, youve also got to concede a lot of runs. So weve got some work to do with our bowling and our fielding, and well make sure we get that right before the next game, he said.

'They Need To Be More Proactive': Braithwaite Slams DC's Powerplay Strategy Vs PBKS
Former West Indies: Former West Indies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite believes Delhi Capitals (DC) did not show enough proactiveness with the ball in the powerplay, allowing Punjab Kings (PBKS) to stay ahead in their record-breaking chase of 265 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday. Brathwaite pointed to lapses in DCs bowling plans despite having a daunting total to defend and also raised questions about the lesser use of Natarajan in the first six overs. When you bat and score 200 and a lot, you dont necessarily need to be defensive, but have a mindset that this can be scored. I saw Natarajan bowl just one over in the power play. They could have been a little bit more proactive, Braithwaite told ESPNCricinfo. Defending 264 for 2, powered by KL Rahuls unbeaten 152 and Nitish Ranas 91, DC handed four of the first five overs to Mukesh Kumar and Auqib Nabi, who conceded a combined 87 runs. Captain Axar Patel also went for 20 in his over as PBKS raced to 116 without loss in the powerplay. Brathwaite felt DC missed an opportunity to apply early pressure by not using their key bowlers upfront. Get Kuldeep on early. He may not get a wicket, but he may stem the flow of runs for an over. Natarajan took the pitch out of play. If Natarajan and Kuldeep had bowled three out of the first six overs, and PBKS had scored 65 in the powerplay, PBKS would have so much more to do, he said. Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav was introduced only in the eighth over, by which time PBKS had already surged to 127, with Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya dominating the attack. The strong start ensured that when PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer came in after the openers fell in the seventh and eighth overs, the required rate remained under control. Iyer went on to anchor the chase with an unbeaten 71 off 36 balls. They did so much in the powerplay that when Shreyas came in, he could be eight off his first eight balls, Brathwaite said. That would never be possible if you need to score 19 or 20 per over, then everybody has to come in and go, he added. Brathwaite further said that defending a total in excess of 260 demands aggressive intent with the ball from the very beginning. They did so much in the powerplay that when Shreyas came in, he could be eight off his first eight balls, Brathwaite said. That would never be possible if you need to score 19 or 20 per over, then everybody has to come in and go, he added.

In a detailed statement, an airline spokesperson said there were 228 passengers and four infants on board and six passengers are undergoing medical evaluation
New Delhi: Ishan Kishan marvelled at the fearless batting of teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, admitting that even opposition players are left wondering what the scorecard could have looked like had the youngster batted longer. Suryavanshi on Saturday hammered a stunning 37-ball 103 for against Sunrisers Hyderabad, marking his second IPL century with this one made off just 36 balls. Reflecting on his conversation with the 15-year-old, Kishan said, I was just telling him about the madness with which he is batting and how he is hitting. Sometimes, you are even scared thinking about what the scorecard could have looked if he had stayed for a few more overs. So, it was important for us to get his wicket. It was 228, it could have easily been 258. Cricket is all about comebacks. We got him out and made a little comeback there. Thats what I told him, When I am playing against you, please go a little easy on my team. I know all your secrets and inside stories, Kishan told JioStar. Vice-captain Kishan played a brilliant knock of 74 runs as Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down 229 runs target in 18.3 overs and registered a dominant five-wicket win against Rajasthan Royals (RR). Speaking about his role at No. 3, Kishan emphasised the importance of anchoring the innings and making life easier for others in the batting order. After having played for so many years as a No. 3 batter, if you are set, you look to score big and bat till the end. It makes the job easier for the other batters with you, as they dont feel the pressure. That is my only thinking, to keep things as simple as I can, be in a good headspace, and just take it one match at a time. If we play good cricket, the rest of the team will learn from it. In the end, its a team sport. When you play good cricket, it rubs off on the others. I have also made a lot of mistakes, so my only aim is not to repeat them, which unfortunately, I did in the end in this game. Speaking about his role at No. 3, Kishan emphasised the importance of anchoring the innings and making life easier for others in the batting order. Also Read: Live Cricket Score When I wasnt playing and was out of the team, I told myself I cant cry or sulk about it. Its the easiest thing to do for any sportsman. It might earn you the sympathy of a few people, you might even feel good about it, but it wont get you anywhere. The only thing that could have gotten me back into the reckoning was runs. So, I just wanted to improve my game and score as many runs as I could, even if that meant hitting more sixes than any other batter. Only consistent run-scoring can bring you back into the team. If 300 runs in a season are not enough, score 400; if not that, score 500. At the end of the day, cricket is our daily bread. When youre out of the team, you understand its importance and start respecting every game. You become hungrier, and that was my focus: to become the best. Article Source: IANS
