IPL 2026: Happy To Bat At No.3 If The Team Asks Me To Do It, Says DCs Tristan Stubbs
Indian Premier League: Delhi Capitals (DC) middle-order batter Tristan Stubbs said he has no reservations about batting at No.3 if the team demands it, adding that his past experiences of holding the fort in tough situations will come of huge help if slotted in the top order for their upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against Punjab Kings. DC, with three wins from six games, will be looking to arrest their inconsistency in the competition when they host table-toppers PBKS, who remain the only unbeaten team in IPL 2026, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Saturday afternoon. Stubbs has drawn attention for his calmness while playing a big part in bailing DC out of tough situations against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), with scores of 39 not out and 60 not out, respectively. In all, Stubbs has aggregated 196 runs from six innings at an average of 65.3 and a strike rate of 137. I think being in the middle order in general, you come in different situations all the time. So you are sort of mentally prepared for that, but you also have past experiences you have had in those types of situations. So, I don't really mind where I come in. Then, going up the order, if the team asks me to do it, I will be more than happy to do it. So, yeah, that's about it, Stubbs told reporters on the eve of the match. He credited his adaptability to shift gears as per the situation to a career spent batting across multiple positions, and the experience gained through playing Test cricket for South Africa. Like I said, I have batted through my whole career pretty much. I have batted three in one game and six in the next game. So, it changes all the time, and that sort of allowed me, with Test cricket, to be able to try and change gears and do what I think is right out there. Those two games, fortunately, the rate never got away from us. So, there was always one partnership in both those games, and that's about it. I firmly believe in batting in partnerships, and that's what I try to do my best, he said. But Stubbs' overall scoring rate this season has remained on the conservative side. In IPL 2026, he has been too slow and failed to accelerate in the manner he managed to do in the last two editions. The breakdown of his strike rates across phases, as per stats from Cricket-21, highlights the dip in Stubbs' tempo. Since 2024, his strike rate in the first 10 balls has hovered around 127, but in 2026, it has dropped to 118. The middle phase (balls 1120) has seen a sharper decline from 282 in 2024 and 189 in 2025 to just 144 this season. For balls above 21, Stubbs' finishing burst has also lost some sting, sliding from 233 in 2024 and 155 in 2025 to 149 in 2026. One can hope that Stubbs' potential promotion to No.3 can arrest this slide and bring about a turnaround in his strike rates across phases. On what to expect from the pitch for the high-stakes mid-season clash, Stubbs said, I think from the World Cup to still here now, we haven't really seen here like an absolute belter. So, it will probably be pretty similar. Hopefully, it's really low, ragging, and 120 plays 120 - that'll be great, he said with a smile. DC have faced questions about their batting consistency this season, including their inability to chase down anything 200 and beyond. But Stubbs pushed back against the notion, adding that once the small moments align together, they can show their best batting performance in the competition. One can hope that Stubbs' potential promotion to No.3 can arrest this slide and bring about a turnaround in his strike rates across phases. On what to expect from the pitch for the high-stakes mid-season clash, Stubbs said, I think from the World Cup to still here now, we haven't really seen here like an absolute belter. So, it will probably be pretty similar. Hopefully, it's really low, ragging, and 120 plays 120 - that'll be great, he said with a smile. Also Read: Live Cricket Score On a bad day, we have won three out of six. But also, when we've lost it, we've still scored 190. We know a couple of small moments here and there in the games that we're scoring these big scores. We're not too worried. Everyone's really positive and everyone's batting well, so that's quite exciting, he signed off. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: Connolly Is Available And Ready To Feature For PBKS Against Delhi Capitals, Says Bahutule
Indian Premier League: Australias batting all-rounder Cooper Connolly is available and ready to feature for Punjab Kings in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash against Delhi Capitals on Saturday afternoon, confirmed spin bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule. As previously reported by IANS, Connolly had briefly returned to his hometown, Perth, to undergo scans on his back after injury prevented him from bowling left-arm spin in IPL 2026. Connolly has since rejoined the squad and is available to play, though its yet to be known if he will still play as a specialist batter for PBKS, the lone unbeaten side in the competition. Yes, he is very much available. So, he had to go back and report to his state team. He just went there, and he has come back. So, he is very much ready and raring to go because I think he is somebody who's in his first year in IPL and first year in Indian conditions. He has responded really well, and he is a great kid. He has done well in the under-19 levels and played in the Big Bash League. He is definitely a player who is looking forward to every game and is very keen to perform for the side, Bahutule told reporters on the eve of the match. Bahutule also lavished praise on explosive left-handed opener Priyansh Arya, who has lit up IPL 2026 yet again with his audacious hitting. He had a fabulous season last year as well. I think he is somebody who must have gone during the off-season playing domestic cricket for Delhi and understood a few things where he needs to improve, and that's what he has got better at. He has come back and understood that this is what I need to improve for the second season. Yes, challenges are there in the second season. But it doesn't look like he has left off from the way he was playing last year. He is a very calm and composed cricketer and has very good shoulders. He doesn't get fazed by success or failure. He is very well-balanced, and I think in the coming future, he will be a great prospect to be playing for the country, he added. On the spin-bowling front, leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has so far shouldered the slow bowling workload as the sole specialist spinner in PBKS's playing eleven. However, Bahutule indicated that Harpreet Brar, who has done well for PBKS whenever given a chance, remains firmly in their plans. I am sure he has also been considered. But again, we will have to look at the pitch again today, how it is tomorrow, and at some stage, and then take a call on things. Yes, Yuzi has actually taken all the pressure as the lone spinner because he is also aware that, being that lone spinner, the opposition will always look to target him. But with his experience and with his guile, he can execute his skills brilliantly. Harpreet is a fabulous bowler. He has been bowling exceedingly well from the domestic season to getting into the IPL. He is in a very good frame of mind. He is very keen and eager to play, too. But sometimes, the combination and you have to take certain decisions which are favourable for that particular pitch and that particular opposition. Yes, definitely, he is in the scheme of things, and we will take a call tomorrow, and hopefully, he can get a game, he added. With the match scheduled to be played in the afternoon, temperatures are expected to be very high, leading to cramps affecting players being a strong possibility. Asked about how the team, particularly the overseas contingent, was preparing to cope with the scorching Delhi heat, Bahutule said, Again, IPL has been there for so many years. Overseas players are also aware of it. I think they start the preparation at least a day before, in terms of hydration. But sometimes, the combination and you have to take certain decisions which are favourable for that particular pitch and that particular opposition. Yes, definitely, he is in the scheme of things, and we will take a call tomorrow, and hopefully, he can get a game, he added.

19 US and Chinese top scientists dead or missing under mysterious circumstances
New Delhi, Apr 24: At least 19 top scientists from the United States and China have reportedly died or gone missing under mysterious circumstances in recent years, raising concerns among experts and authorities. According to reports, at least 10 American scientists associated with sensitive nuclear and aerospace research have either disappeared or died over the past few years. It has now emerged that nine Chinese scientists engaged in space, defence, and nuclear technology have also perished or gone missing, The Federal, a US-based publication, reported. In many cases, the incidents have been attributed to accidents, illnesses, or unclear causes. However, taken together, they are drawing increased scrutiny, with some experts questioning whether a broader pattern may be at play. In the US, those who died or went missing include a nuclear physicist and professor at MIT who was shot dead outside his residence in Massachusetts, a retired Air Force general who went missing from his home in New Mexico, and an aerospace engineer who disappeared while hiking in Los Angeles. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has confirmed it is leading efforts to investigate potential links between the missing and deceased scientists. It is working in coordination with the Departments of Energy and Defense, along with state and local law enforcement agencies. The development follows a statement by the House Oversight Committee, which said it would examine reports related to the cases. According to the Los Angeles Times, the committee has sought information from relevant agencies, including NASA, which oversees the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Californiawhere some of the affected scientists were employed. NASA said it is coordinating and cooperating with relevant agencies regarding the matter. US lawmakers have expressed concern, with some viewing the incidents as a potential national security issue. Meanwhile, Chinese scientists who died in recent years include experts in drone technology, space research, and hypersonic systems. Reported causes range from illness and medical conditions to accidents, including a late-night car crash. The scientists were aged between 26 and 68. Chinese media outlets have also taken note of the trend, describing the deaths as extremely uncommon. Some reports have raised concerns about a possible pattern, while speculation and conspiracy theories continue to circulate. The South China Morning Post reported that a database tracking the deaths of young Chinese scientists has triggered debate, fuelling concerns about a troubling trend within the academic and research community.
IPL 2026: 'Mumbai Indians Have Certainly Missed Rohit Sharma,' Says Aakash Chopra
Chennai Super Kings: Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has pointed to the absence of veteran opener Rohit Sharma as a key reason behind the struggles of the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season, following their heavy 103-run defeat to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday.
