IPL 2026: If We Drop Catches, We Cannot Defend, Need To Improve Fielding And Bowling, Says Rao
Cricket Venugopal Rao: Delhi Capitals (DC) Director of Cricket Venugopal Rao admitted that dropped catches and poor bowling cost his side dearly in their high-scoring six-wicket defeat to Punjab Kings in IPL 2026. At the same time, he praised KL Rahuls unbeaten 152, while stressing on the need to adapt better in future matches. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, DC posted 264/2, but Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh hitting 116 runs in the powerplay along with captain Shreyas Iyer hitting a composed 71 not out off 36 balls helped PBKS chase down 265 with seven balls to spare. Apart from giving Prabhsimran a life early on, Iyer was also given reprieves twice by Karun Nair in a span of five balls at the fag end, which also played a big part in DC suffering its fourth IPL defeat. Yes, I can say that not 2, we dropped almost 6 catches today. See, when you are dropping batters at a crucial time, I do not think we will win these kinds of matches. Chances to players like Prabhsimran, Priyansh Arya and Shreyas, we need to take those. If we drop catches, we cannot defend, Rao said at the post-match press conference. Reflecting on the failed defense, Rao first credited KL for taking the side to a gigantic total. See, after scoring and putting a target of 264, still we could not defend. First of all, credit goes to KL, the way he handled it. Nobody knows how the pitch behaved, but he kept on striking the ball well. The way he played till the last over, hats off. He continued his form. More importantly, in this format, you cannot relax. He took responsibility as a senior player and you saw the difference this year in what he can bring. I am happy for him. We could not get the win, but we will come back strong in the next match. On areas of improvement, especially DC set to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Monday, Rao said, We will see. Next game when we come, we will answer. There are a lot of positives. But the areas to improve are powerplay bowling and catching. He continued his form. More importantly, in this format, you cannot relax. He took responsibility as a senior player and you saw the difference this year in what he can bring. I am happy for him. We could not get the win, but we will come back strong in the next match.

IPL 2026: DCs Venugopal Rao Says Ngidi Injury not Serious, Chahal Hopes For Quick Recovery
Cricket Venugopal Rao: Delhi Capitals (DC) Director of Cricket Venugopal Rao said pacer Lungi Ngidis head injury sustained during the IPL clash against Punjab Kings was not serious, even as the South African was taken to Max Hospital in Karol Bagh for tests after being taken off the field in an ambulance. In the third over of Punjab Kings chase, Ngidi fell backwards while trying to catch Priyansh Arya at mid-off, banging his head hard into the turf. He clutched his head immediately and lay on the ground as medical staff rushed in. Play was halted for 15 minutes before Ngidi was stretchered into an ambulance, amidst players, coaches and medical staff having tense expressions. Still, I think it is not serious. He is still in the hospital. We will update, but nothing serious, Rao said after the game ended. On the confusion around concussion substitution, where Dushmantha Chameera was named first and later replaced by Vipraj Nigam, Rao clarified, Only four overseas players are allowed. There is a rule. We cannot take a fifth overseas player. Simple. He stressed that player safety remained paramount, even as Ngidis absence meant DC couldnt defend 264/2. First of all, player safety is always important. Whatever happens, we play this game, but safety comes first. When we see this kind of scoreboard, we missed his 24 balls, four overs, it makes a difference. We hope Lungi Ngidi recovers fast and comes back. I cannot comment on more right now. Punjab Kings leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal also expressed concern and hoped for a speedy recovery for Ngidi. That time I was sitting upstairs. Definitely, it feels bad if someone has an injury, especially, head injuries are always very dangerous. Hopefully, he will get well soon because even yesterday, I think, a net bowler got hit by a ball and was taken to hospital. So, whenever these things happen, obviously, everyone feels bad. We just want him to get well soon and come back to the ground, Chahal said. Punjab Kings leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal also expressed concern and hoped for a speedy recovery for Ngidi. That time I was sitting upstairs. Definitely, it feels bad if someone has an injury, especially, head injuries are always very dangerous.

IPL 2026: Working On 'six-hitting' And Smashing From Ball One With Nayar Helped A Lot, Says Rahul
Arun Jaitley Stadium: Delhi Capitals skipper KL Rahul said his majestic knock of 152 not out was the result of sustained work done under Abhishek Nayar on adapting to the evolving demands of T20 cricket like six-hitting and aggression from ball one. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, Rahul hit an unbeaten 152 off 67 balls, laced with 16 fours and nine sixes at a strike rate of 226. He now holds the record for the highest individual score by an Indian batter and the third highest overall in IPL history after Chris Gayle and Brendon McCullum. Rahul also went past Tilak Varma to now hold the record for the highest individual score by an Indian batter in mens T20s. I was very pleased, very happy at the end of the first 20 overs. It's something that I've been working on for a very long time behind the scenes. Just said this last year as well, I spent a lot of time with Abhishek Nayar. We talked a lot about how I can improve and especially white ball game, also red ball game. But for now, it was about doing well in the IPL and where I was at and what I needed to do to get better and catch up with the modern demands of T20 cricket. So I'm really happy to see that I could put that into work and score runs for my team and get them to what I thought was a winning total, Rahul said in the post-match presentation ceremony. He also admitted that watching the T20 World Cup and the fearless approach of young batters prompted him to re-evaluate his own strategy, particularly during the Powerplay overs. Obviously, just to step back a little bit and see where T20 games have gone and what the demand of T20 cricket is in today's day and age. And watching the T20 World Cup, watching some of the young guys coming in and smashing from ball one and I've spoken about six hitting and that's something that I had to really work on and give myself that sort of freedom to go out there and take on the bowling from maybe ball one, ball two, he said. Reflecting on the shift in the T20 landscape, Rahul noted that the luxury of taking time to settle is a thing of the past. There was a time where the T20 game was slightly different where I as an opener could take some time and then accelerate. I had enough confidence in my ability that I could always convert those starts and make it a big knock at the end. But today's demand is that the first six overs is the most important thing that in the power play, is to get as many runs as you can and put the bowling under pressure. But obviously I stuck to being true to my game, which is to play cricket shots, but also find a way to be aggressive and play proper shots. Addressing the difference between formats, Rahul highlighted that T20 cricket requires a constant attacking mindset, unlike ODIs. Look, in T20 cricket, that's the mindset I am in right now. And I was in that sort of mindset last season as well, that there's no time in T20 cricket to say later. There is time in ODI cricket to say, maybe I can hold off for a couple of overs and attack at the back end. But as an opening batter, when you're playing in T20 cricket, that's something that I've watched and learned from the other guys who are playing international cricket and been successful is that there's no time for you to think, okay, I'm going to go next over, he said. Addressing the difference between formats, Rahul highlighted that T20 cricket requires a constant attacking mindset, unlike ODIs. Look, in T20 cricket, that's the mindset I am in right now. And I was in that sort of mindset last season as well, that there's no time in T20 cricket to say later. There is time in ODI cricket to say, maybe I can hold off for a couple of overs and attack at the back end. Also Read: Live Cricket Score That's when maybe I'll fall back to hitting boundaries and six hitting becomes the second option. But throughout the innings, I've had to work really hard on my mental setup as well to tell myself that six hitting is what's required and trying to get 15, 16 runs in over is a must in T20 cricket.

IPL 2026: Rahuls Unbeaten 152 In Vain As PBKS Complete Record Chase, Beat DC By Six Wickets (Ld)
Arun Jaitley Stadium: On a sweltering 41-degree day, 529 runs were plundered in 38.5 overs in a keenly awaited IPL 2026 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. In a match that yet again defined the modern-day scoring rate in T20 cricket, Punjab Kings scripted history by successfully upstaging their previous record to chase down 265 and defeat Delhi Capitals by six wickets. It was a day when records fell like ninepins, starting from a monumental, unbeaten 152 off 67 balls hit by KL Rahul - the highest score by an Indian batter in the IPL and mens T20 cricket. Rahuls innings was a blend of technical elegance and sheer boundary hitting, as he became only the third player in IPL history, after Chris Gayle and Brendon McCullum, to get a score above 150. Though Rahuls efforts and Nitish Ranas 91 off 44 balls, with the duo sharing a mammoth 220-run stand, took DC to 264/2, it was ultimately overshadowed by a collective display of breathless and ruthless batting from table-toppers PBKS. Chasing a gigantic 265, PBKS batters displayed breathtaking audacity, something which has been their trademark in the competition, to hunt down the total with seven balls to spare. The foundation of the record-breaking chase was a ferocious powerplay, where Prabhsimran (76 off 26 balls, nine fours and five sixes) and Priyansh Arya (43 off 17 balls) plundered 116 runs. Despite a brief middle-order wobble caused by Kuldeep Yadav, captain Shreyas Iyer anchored the finish with a composed, unbeaten 71 off 36 balls, studded with three fours and six sixes. Iyer was dropped twice by Karun Nair at the fag end and was well-supported by Shashank Singh (19 not out) as the table-toppers got over the line with clinical ease to prove that no target is safe in the current T20 cricket era. Pathum Nissanka got the scoreboard moving for DC with a flicked boundary off Arshdeep Singh, while Rahul kickstarted his innings by dispatching Xavier Bartlett through a drive and flick. Arshdeep provided a breakthrough in the third over as Nissanka top-edged a pull to the wicketkeeper. However, the setback did little to slow DC's momentum as Rahul finished the over with a massive pulled six. With Rana hitting four boundaries in his first ten balls, Rahul continued his aggressive approach, pulling Vyshak Vijaykumar and Marco Jansen for six and four. DC ended the powerplay at 68/1, their highest score in this phase in IPL 2026. After launching Yuzvendra Chahal over long-on for a maximum, Rahul reached his fifty in 26 deliveries. Rana shifted gears in sensational fashion to bring up his fifty off 29 balls with back-to-back scooped boundaries off Bartlett. Rahul showed no mercy, dismantling Arshdeep for three fours and a six, while showcasing a range of shots that left the PBKS fielders as mere spectators. He reached his century in 47 balls by punching Jansen down the ground and brought out his trademark celebrations. Rahul showed no signs of slowing down, carting Vyshak for three sixes and a boundary in a 24-run over. Rana survived a scare in the 17th over when Marcus Stoinis completed a sliding catch, but the third umpire ruled the boot had made contact with the boundary rope, resulting in a six. Rana eventually fell for 91, as Iyer took a stunning one-handed catch at extra cover. Rahul then scooped and upper-cut to go past 150, as DC put PBKS on the path of what appeared to be an insurmountable total. Arya launched the chase in style by smashing the first ball from Auqib Nabi over mid-wicket for six - his second such feat in the IPL and joined Yashasvi Jaiswal in this rare club. When Nabi pitched it too short, Prabhsimran pulled him for a six, as 15 runs came off the opening over. After Nabi put down a chance of Prabhsimran at backward point, Arya whipped a full toss for six, while Prabhsimran punished loose deliveries to get a four and six. The chase, however, was momentarily overshadowed by a serious head injury to DC pacer Lungi Ngidi in the third over. Attempting a difficult backtracking catch after Arya mistimed off Axar Patel, Ngidi landed heavily on his head and had to be stretchered off the field in an ambulance, amid silent and concerned faces in both teams and fans inside the stadium. Once play resumed, PBKSs aggression reached a fever pitch. Priyansh hammered Axar for successive sixes, and was followed by him and Prabhsimran taking 27 runs off Nabi in the fourth over, including three sixes hit by the latter. The Powerplay concluded with Mukesh being decimated for six consecutive fours by a rampant Prabhsimran, who reached his fifty in 18 balls, as 24 runs came off it for PBKS to sign off with 116/0. Some respite came for DC when Arya holed out to deep midwicket for 43 off 17 balls. Kuldeep Yadav turned the tide for DC - trapping Prabhsimran lbw before castling Cooper Connolly with a googly. Despite the double blows, Shreyas Iyer and Nehal Wadhera hit five boundaries between themselves from overs 11-15 to keep the asking rate in check. Priyansh hammered Axar for successive sixes, and was followed by him and Prabhsimran taking 27 runs off Nabi in the fourth over, including three sixes hit by the latter.

IPL 2026: Pat Cummins Back As SRH Opt To Bowl Against RR
Indian Premier League: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match 36th of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. Captain Pat Cummins is back for SRH and leading the side for the first time in the season. Cummins has replaced Dilshan Madushanka, while Praful Hinge is back in place of Harsh Dubey in the SRH playing XI. SRH is coming to the contest after a dominant win over the Delhi Capitals. They have won four out of seven matches and are placed at number four in the points table with eight points and a positive net run rate of +0.820. The Rajasthan Royals are also entering the match with a big victory over the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their last match. They have won five out of seven matches and are placed at number 2 in the points table with 10 points and a positive net run rate of 0.790. After winning the toss, SRH skipper Cummins spoke about returning after injury and team performance so far. We're going to have a bowl first. The wicket looks good, but we have to see what we need to chase down. Still really fresh. It's been a little while, but I've had really good preparation, a couple of bowls over here. I haven't played a game for a while, so we'll see how we go. But the body feels awesome, he said after winning the toss. On Ishan Kishan's captaincy, he said, He's fantastic. Yeah, four wins from the first seven games. I think he played the style that we really try and lead into here at SRH, that aggressive, fearless style approach. We know the pitch really well in Hyderabad. I think the challenge when you go play away is trying to sense what a good score is, what short work or ball work. So I think it's the first game for this venue for the season, so it'll be a challenge for both teams. Yeah, I've come in for Madushanka, and Hinge has come in, Harsh Dubey, he added. While after losing the toss, RR captain Riyan Parag said, We were looking to do that as well. But the last couple of seasons, we have not done well chasing, no problems batting first. We know the wicket really well. We had our camp here. There might be dew, but it won't be too much. Last year we fell short by a couple of overs, just want to put a collective 40 overs.

IPL 2026: I Was Just In A Mindset To Hit Boundaries And Put Pressure On The Bowlers, Says Rahul
Lucknow Super Giants: After hitting a majestic 152 not out to power Delhi Capitals to a gigantic 264/2, wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul said his approach was centered on playing proper cricketing shots and maintaining pressure on the opposition bowlers, while also praising Nitish Rana for his phenomenal knock of 91 in their 220-run partnership. By hitting an unbeaten 152 off 67 balls, laced with 16 fours and nine sixes at a strike rate of 226, Rahul now holds the record for the highest individual score by an Indian batter and the third highest overall in IPL history after Chris Gayle and Brendon McCullum. Rahul also went past Tilak Varma to now hold the record for the highest individual score by an Indian batter in mens T20s. I'm obviously happy. I've taken a beating due to the heat, just need to hydrate and recover. So it's mixed emotions at the moment. I hope I don't cramp later on. I mean only towards the end was I premeditating. Early on, I think for the first 70-80 runs, I wasn't really premeditating. I was just in a mindset to hit boundaries and put pressure on the bowlers. My strength is always to play proper cricket shots and I was trying to back that and try and believe that that's good enough to get my team past 250 and I continued to do that. Only at the back end was I premeditating and when the field is set, when the bowlers go to the wide off-field or a spinner field, you know kind of what to expect, said a tired Rahul in a mid-innings chat with the broadcasters. Rahul is also the first player in IPLs history to score multiple centuries for three different franchises DC, PBKS and Lucknow Super Giants. Rahul and Ranas spectacular 220-run stand is also a record for the second-highest partnership in IPL history. Phenomenal knock from Nitish. The way he came in and you know, I think when you can hit proper cricket shots and get boundaries in the first six overs and continue to do that, I think the bowling team feels a lot more pressure when you're when you're trying to hit big sixes or trying to slog, then the opposition already feels like they're in with a chance. Rahul is also the first player in IPLs history to score multiple centuries for three different franchises DC, PBKS and Lucknow Super Giants. Rahul and Ranas spectacular 220-run stand is also a record for the second-highest partnership in IPL history. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I think he did that beautifully and I think right hand, left hand combination worked as well. The wicket was on the on the slower side, but I think both of us were seeing the ball really well, so we just continued batting and continued putting pressure on the bowlers, added Rahul.

Rahul's performance, aided by dropped catches, powered Delhi to a commanding total. He partnered with Nitish Rana for a significant second-wicket stand, setting a new franchise record.
IPL 2026: Rahuls Unbeaten 152, Ranas 91 Powers DC To Gigantic 264/2 Against PBKS
Arun Jaitley Stadium: KL Rahul etched his name in the record books by smashing an unbeaten 152 - the highest score by an Indian batter in IPLs history - to power Delhi Capitals to a mammoth 264/2 against a listless Punjab Kings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday. Rahuls 67-ball masterclass was all about sublime strokeplay fetching him 16 fours and nine sixes at a strike rate of 226, thus making him only the third batter in the tournaments history after Chris Gayle and Brendon McCullum to cross the 150-run mark. His monumental effort, combined with a blistering 91 from Nitish Rana, as the duo shared a massive 220-run stand off 95 balls propelled DC to their highest-ever IPL total on a sweltering 41-degree day. PBKS were left to rue a nightmarish performance with the ball and in the field, headlined by Shashank Singh dropping Rahul when he was on just 12. Rahul ensured he made PBKS pay dearly for that reprieve, as the whole stadium reverberated with chants of his name. Rahul has now become the first player in IPL history to score multiple centuries for three different franchises. His 47-ball hundred is also the fastest ton of his IPL career. Rana, meanwhile, was equally destructive, hitting 11 fours and four sixes in his 44-ball stay to hit his second fifty on the trot. After DC elected to bat first under scorching heat, Pathum Nissanka (11) got the scoreboard moving with a flicked boundary off Arshdeep Singh, while Rahul kickstarted his innings by dispatching Xavier Bartlett through a drive and flick to get consecutive boundaries. However, Arshdeep provided the breakthrough for PBKS in the third over - after seeing Rahul dropped on 12 by Shashank Singh, he dismissed Nissanka, who top-edged a pull to wicketkeeper. The setback did little to slow DC's momentum as Rahul finished the over with a massive pulled six over deep mid-wicket. With Nitish Rana hitting four boundaries in his first ten balls, Rahul continued his aggressive approach pulling Vyshak Vijaykumar and Marco Jansen for six and four, as DC ended power-play at 68/1, their highest score in this phase of the game in IPL 2026. After launching Yuzvendra Chahal over long-on for a maximum, Rahul reached his fifty in 26 deliveries with a brace off Vyshak in the 10th over. He celebrated the feat by ending the over with a loft over the bowlers head for a boundary to bring up DCs hundred. Rahuls onslaught continued as he danced down the track to smash Chahal for two successive boundaries. Rana, meanwhile, shifted gears in sensational fashion to bring up his fifty off 29 balls. He reached the milestone with back-to-back scooped boundaries off an off-colour Bartlett, apart from pulling and thumping for two fours and swivelling and lofting for as many maximums as 28 runs came off the 12th over. Rahul showed no mercy as after lofting Marcus Stoinis for a sensational six, he dismantled Arshdeep for three fours and a six - showcasing a range of shots from scoop to drive and smacks down the ground - that left the PBKS fielders mere spectators. Rahul eventually reached his century in 47 balls by punching Jansen down the ground for a boundary. Upon reaching the milestone, Rahul celebrated with his signature 'X' gesture as fans rose to their feet to applaud a splendid knock. Rahul showed no signs of slowing down after crossing his century carting Vyshak for three sixes and a boundary on full tosses in a 24-run over that also saw DC cruise past the 200-run mark. Rana survived a major scare in the 17th over when Marcus Stoinis completed a spectacular sliding catch at the square leg boundary. But after multiple replays, third umpire Swaroopanand Kannur ruled that Stoinis boot had made contact with the boundary rope, resulting in a six instead of a dismissal. Rahul continued the carnage by clearing his front leg to smack Jansen over long-off for his eighth six of the evening, before carting him for another boundary. Rahul showed no signs of slowing down after crossing his century carting Vyshak for three sixes and a boundary on full tosses in a 24-run over that also saw DC cruise past the 200-run mark.

He also talked about DCs intent to not make any silly mistakes in this clash. We want to focus on ourselves. Every team we are playing is playing good cricket. We have also been playing good cricket, but the thing is that in crucial moments, I think we are not winning those moments in the game. We are making silly mistakes, and if we correct those, I think we will be back on track. If consistency comes in, and if we fix the small mistakes we are making in the field or in taking decisions at crucial times, then I think we will be on the winning side most of the time. PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer, whos playing an IPL game in the national capital for the first time after 2019, said he too would have bowled first if the toss had gone his way. I would love to bowl, but thankfully, I had a small discussion with Axar before the toss. He said that he's going to bat, so I was happy that we are going to bowl and the toss was inconsequential, he said. He also spoke about the need to be in the present and being better in that moment. It's important to stay in the moment, that's how you want the environment to be. I personally feel you just have to keep training harder and keep getting better every now and then, better than the previous performance. That's what I keep telling my teammates as well. We need to inculcate the right habits in the dressing room and culture that we've been building so far. It has been, touch wood, going great.
