UPT20 League 2026: Top 4 Confirmed As Kashi Rudras Beat Meerut Mavericks By 56 Runs
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: The defending champions, Kashi Rudras, delivered a statement performance in a must-win encounter, defeating the table-topping Meerut Mavericks by 56 runs in Match 29 of the UP T20 League 2026 on Tuesday. Played at Kanpurs historic Green Park Stadium, a venue boasting a legacy of 40 international matches, the result finalises the playoff picture for the season. The Meerut Mavericks retain the top spot with 15 points, followed by the Lucknow Falcons in second with 13 points. Kashi Rudras and Noida Kings complete the top four, finishing third and fourth respectively with 10 points each. Meanwhile, the Gaur Gorakhpur Lions and Kanpur Superstars have been officially eliminated from the tournament. Knowing a win was necessary to stay alive, Kashi Rudras skipper Karan Sharma won the toss and confidently opted to bat first. The openers validated his decision immediately, putting together a solid 75-run stand off 51 balls. Vaibhav Jaiswal contributed a brisk 33 off 24 deliveries, while skipper Karan Sharma anchored the innings with a brilliant 57 off 40 balls, setting a robust foundation. Wicketkeeper-batter Upendra Yadav then took charge, unleashing a devastating late assault. Yadav smashed an unbeaten 57 off just 29 deliveries, lacing his innings with four boundaries and five massive sixes. His explosive finish powered the Kashi Rudras to an imposing total of 175/4 in their 20 overs. Faced with a challenging target of 176, the Meerut Mavericks' chase stumbled at the very first hurdle. Star opener Swastik Chikara fell for a four-ball duck to Kartik Yadav, setting the tone for the innings. Kartik delivered a sensational spell, finishing with figures of 3/12 in his four overs, suffocating the Meerut top order and leaving them reeling at 70/5 in 13 overs. For his phenomenal bowling display that derailed the chase, Kartik Yadav was rightfully named the Player of the Match. Divyansh Rajput attempted to stabilise the innings, battling his way to a gritty 39 off 31 balls. However, his resistance ended in an unfortunate fashion when he was dismissed hit-wicket by Rishabh Rajput on the fifth ball of the 16th over. On the very next delivery, Rishabh dismissed Yash Garg, ending the over and leaving Meerut needing 70 runs from 24 balls with just three wickets in hand. The drama peaked on the first ball of the 17th over when Impact Player Sangam Singh struck immediately, completing a spectacular team hat-trick spanning across the two overs. The Meerut Mavericks were eventually bundled out for 119 in 19.2 overs. Rishabh Rajput finished with superb figures of 3/13, while Atal Bihari Vipin Rai chipped in with two wickets, securing a massive 56-run victory. The result gives the Kashi Rudras back-to-back wins and immense momentum heading into the knockouts, whereas the Meerut Mavericks will need to regroup after suffering consecutive defeats. With the league stage concluded, the tournament now enters its decisive playoff phase. Due to persistent rain and wet outfield conditions in Kanpur, all playoff matches have been officially shifted to the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

UPT20 League: Lucknow Falcons Knock Kanpur Superstars Out Of Playoff Race
Impact Player Sameer Rizvi: Lucknow Falcons signed off from the league stage with a 13-run victory over Kanpur Superstars via the DLS method in Match 28 of the UP T20 League 2026 at the Green Park Stadium, eliminating Kanpur from the playoff race and moving into second place on the points table. With six wins from 10 matches, Lucknow finished the league stage on 13 points and will now turn their attention to Qualifier 1 against Meerut Mavericks. Having already secured their place in the playoffs, Lucknow rested regular captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar and lead pacer Abhinandan Singh, with all-rounder Vipraj Nigam taking over the captaincy. Kanpur skipper Adarsh Singh won the toss and elected to bowl in what was a must-win contest for his side. Lucknow began positively before rain interrupted play for around 30 minutes after the opening over. When the match resumed without any reduction in overs, openers Yashu Pradhan and Himanshu Singh provided the Falcons with a strong platform. Pradhan struck 40 off 27 balls, while Himanshu made 43 off 33 as the pair added 72 runs in just 43 deliveries. Kanpur fought back effectively in the middle overs, reducing Lucknow from 72/0 to 96/4. However, Priyam Garg and stand-in captain Vipraj ensured the Falcons finished strongly. Garg remained unbeaten on 32 off 21 balls, while Vipraj contributed a brisk 18 not out from eight deliveries to take Lucknow to 160/5. Kanpur's chase never quite gathered momentum as Lucknow struck regularly with the ball. The Superstars were reduced to 47/4 in 6.3 overs, with the dismissal of star Impact Player Sameer Rizvi proving particularly damaging. Satyam Sangu and Yashovardhan Singh attempted to rebuild the innings, adding an unbeaten 22 runs together, before rain returned at the end of the 10th over with Kanpur on 68/4. The DLS par score at that stage was 81, leaving Kanpur 13 runs behind. Persistent rain prevented any further play, handing Lucknow the victory.

UP T20 League: Playoffs And Final Relocated To Lucknow Amid Heavy Rains In Kanpur
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: The UP T20 League has relocated its playoff matches and final from Kanpur to Lucknow following continuous heavy rainfall in the city, the tournament's governing council announced on Monday. The knockout fixtures of the fourth season of the competition will now take place at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, with the match dates retained as per the original schedule. Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator will be played on September 3, with Qualifier 2 the next day and the title clash on September 6. Sanjay Kapoor, Chairman of the UP T20 League Governing Council, officially confirmed the venue change at a press conference at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. Due to the continuous rain in Kanpur, it has become nearly impossible to complete full matches, which directly impacts the game and the players' ability to showcase their talent. In crucial and decisive encounters like the playoffs, it is essential that all participating teams get a fair and equal opportunity to play a complete 20-over match, said Kapoor. The announcement was made in the presence of UPCA Media Committee Chairman Mohammad Faheem and UP T20 League Governing Council Member Sanjeev Kumar Singh, along with other senior regional cricket administrators. Kapoor noted that local weather forecasts indicated further rain in Kanpur over the coming days, leaving organisers with no option but to move the remaining fixtures to Lucknow. This decision was not made in favour of or against any particular team, but strictly to uphold the fairness of the sport and the welfare of the players. A wet outfield due to persistent rain significantly increases the risk of injuries. Kapoor noted that local weather forecasts indicated further rain in Kanpur over the coming days, leaving organisers with no option but to move the remaining fixtures to Lucknow. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Moving the final stages to Lucknows state-of-the-art facilities will provide an ideal environment for teams to compete in full 20-over contests without the risk of rain delays. At the same time, tournament management expressed its gratitude to local supporters, players, and match officials for their cooperation throughout the Kanpur leg of the competition.

UP T20 League: Lucknow Falcons have officially booked their place in the UP T20 League 2026 playoffs following a hard-fought 24-run victory over the Gaur Gorakhpur Lions in match 26. Played at Kanpurs historic Green Park Stadium, a venue that has hosted 40 international matches, the result marks Lucknow's fifth win in nine games, making them the second franchise after the Meerut Mavericks to advance to the knockout stages. It was a very important win for us to qualify. The first aim of the team has been achieved, stated a highly satisfied Lucknow skipper, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, following the victory. The path to qualification, however, looked incredibly unlikely early in the evening. Opting to bowl first, Lions skipper Shivam Sharma applied immense pressure, delivering a miserly spell of 2/12 in his three overs, including a maiden, to reduce Lucknow to a precarious 51/4 in 8.4 overs. Reflecting on the turbulent start, Bhuvneshwar admitted the team had to severely recalibrate their targets from the dugout. It was very satisfying because we didnt really get the start we wanted, the captain revealed. During the 10-over break, our honest aim was to reach around 100 runs by the 15th over and add another 40 to 50 runs in the final five. Sitting in the dressing room, we thought even 130 to 140 would be a fighting total. What followed was a sensational 109-run partnership off just 64 balls between Ajeet Verma and Kritagya Singh that completely shifted the momentum. Verma smashed an unbeaten 75 off 45 balls, decorated with eight boundaries and three sixes, while Singh delivered a crucial 44 off 31, powering the Falcons to a highly competitive 170/5 in 20 overs. The maturity shown by Ajeet and Kritagya was excellent, Bhuvneshwar noted. That partnership was something we had been lacking in the tournament so far. The way we batted, we did much better than what we had expected. That partnership is the reason we are in this winning position today. The skipper reserved special praise for Verma, whose consistent performances demanded a regular spot. He has made a massive impact. His batting has been so impressive that we had to bring him into the playing XI. It shows that when a youngster performs well, the entire team benefits. Defending 170, Gorakhpur's chase was immediately derailed by Lucknow's Abhinandan Singh, who cleaned up openers Abhay Pratap Singh and Aryan Chaudhary cheaply. The Lions stumbled to 70/5 in 10.3 overs after Akshu Bajwa claimed two wickets and Vipraj Nigam took one. Refusing to surrender, Prince Yadav (49 off 36) and Parth Palawat built a dangerous 56-run stand off 40 balls to revive the chase. With 45 runs needed off the final 18 deliveries, Bhuvneshwar tossed the ball back to Abhinandan for the crucial 18th over.

'Breaking Muscle Memory Isn't Easy': Karan Sharma On Technical Tweaks Under Pravin Amre
The Kashi Rudras: Kashi Rudras captain Karan Sharma revealed that stepping out of his comfort zone to train under veteran batting coach and former India batter Pravin Amre in Mumbai brought noticeable improvements to his power-hitting and timing, though he admitted that altering years of batting habits was a tough mental and physical challenge. Sharma, who routinely relies on childhood coach Rajan Sachdeva to fine-tune his game, spent ten days with Amre prior to the season to work on subtle technical adjustments in his posture and swing. All of that effort has yielded fruit via Karan leading the run-scoring charts with 298 runs in nine games at an average of 37.25 and strike-rate of 146.8. I work a lot on batting with the help of my childhood coach Rajan Sachdeva sir. I chat a lot about batting with him as hes someone who can understand my batting very well. But before this season, I had a thought about trying something different so I went to Mumbai to work under Pravin Amre sir. I practiced for ten days under him and understood about batting in-depth and what more can I do to improve my batting and work on small things. He helped me a lot in one or two technical points with my batting which he felt that I could improve upon to make my game better. Due to that, I saw the change in myself and my shots and power and began to time the ball better, Sharma told IANS in an exclusive conversation on the sidelines of the league in Kanpur. He also explained that rewiring established batting mechanics required patience from him, as initial struggles were inevitable before the results start showing on the field. In those ten days - I mean, if you change anything in your batting, or something else, it's not easy, obviously. As a batter today, because you are leaving your natural state, and you've been doing one thing for a long time, it's in your muscle memory. So, breaking years of muscle memory, I mean, I don't think it's an easy job, obviously. So, for that one month, there was a bit of a struggle, but after that, I started enjoying batting, and things started making sense. I've planned to go again, to try and go again before the next Ranji Trophy season, and spend some time there and improve because I feel that every batter, if they are not improving, they are somehow going downwards. So, I think as a batter, you have to remain in a phase of constant improvement, he said. Two-time winners Kashi Rudras are currently sitting at number three on the points table with eight points as the race to knockouts tightens up. Addressing how the squad recovered after dropping four games in a row, Sharma revealed the importance of staying positive and process-driven to help the team to come back strongly through a 67-run win over Noida Kings, where he hit a blistering 102 off 51 balls, laced with 11 boundaries and five sixes. It's going well right now. After the way we started, we went down a little in the middle. I think we lost 3 or 4 matches straight. When you win like this, obviously the atmosphere in the dressing room becomes very good. It boosts you up and there was a change of venue - so, it was exciting for us and that led to us thinking that maybe we can do something next. So, the atmosphere in the dressing room is very good right now. When you win, obviously the atmosphere in the team is good. But we saw that time when we were losing, we were still trying to stay positive. The things that are working for us, we should focus on those things. On keeping the team grounded ahead of crucial matches, Sharma insisted that focusing on immediate micro-execution and staying in the present takes precedence over worrying about results. I am a person who believes in the process a lot. So, I try to focus on the things that are needed to win. I try to focus on those things in the team and in my mindset rather than just thinking that we have to win. But how we have to win is more important and what all things we have to do right, even if we have to focus on small things. So, as a person, I try to focus on small things which will ensure us to win games - like small tactics for every batter. I have my own personality like how I bring myself in the present because our game is all about being in the moment. So, I think we keep practicing being in the moment. We try not to go too far or too far back because in the tournament, things are running very fast. I think you are playing 10 matches in 20 days. So, you have to ensure that when you are coming the next day, you are not coming with a win or a loss in the previous game in your mind. So, it is good for me to think like this and my team also has to think like this, he added. Having already led Kashi Rudras to two titles, Sharma signed off by saying that while defending the crown remains the ultimate motivation, executing immediate tactical requirements remains the team's primary focus. So, I think we keep practicing being in the moment. We try not to go too far or too far back because in the tournament, things are running very fast. I think you are playing 10 matches in 20 days. So, you have to ensure that when you are coming the next day, you are not coming with a win or a loss in the previous game in your mind. So, it is good for me to think like this and my team also has to think like this, he added. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories We should focus on the things that I feel are going and on all the small things that will ensure we will do well rather than thinking that after this we will play the finals or this and that will happen. But I think from a team perspective, we should focus on the things that are important at that particular moment and at that particular time. Article Source: IANS
UP T20 League Provides Ideal Bridge To IPL, Says Kashi Rudras Skipper Karan Sharma
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Kashi Rudras captain Karan Sharma feels the UPT20 league has given the states cricketers an unprecedented platform which provides them with crucial match-time and exposure in order to make the cut for big tournaments like the Indian Premier League (IPL). Sharma, who has experience in the IPL ecosystem via spending IPL 2022 and 2023 seasons with Lucknow Super Giants, is amongst those players from the state who have made the cut in heaps for the ten-team league. Absolutely. I extend my gratitude to UPCA and Rajeev Shukla sir. They took an initiative to bring UP T20 to reality because as a player, you need an opportunity and platform to showcase your talent or the skills and hard work you have put in so far. So, it was a thorough process. Like when you came, trials happened. Then you got a chance to play in the state for Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. When you do well there, then you get picked in the IPL. But now when UP T20 league comes, every player has got 10 live matches, which are enough in quantity to showcase your talent, calibre and capability. UP has a lot of talent and through this, they got an opportunity in which they can show everything about themselves game wise. So, there is no better opportunity than 10 live matches and I think this has been a good initiative, Sharma told IANS in an exclusive conversation on the sidelines of the league from Kanpur. Crediting the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) for creating a solid structural framework, which is now enhanced by the UP T20 league, Sharma, who hails from Ghaziabad, noted that match-readiness is key for players aiming for higher levels and that the state setup avoids selecting players solely based on net sessions. It has always been good. I never felt that bias towards me. But it is fun thanks to the ecosystem that has been made. I feel that it is a very fair ecosystem because before you play for any board, you get around 8 or 10 matches in which you can show yourself that you deserve that chance in the team or not. So if you ask me as a player, UP has made a very good ecosystem for everything. Every player needs an opportunity and here, this is a clear opportunity for you to show yourself, and express yourself. So it is fun to go and show yourself, to express yourself because sometimes it happens that there are many places where they make a team only from the nets. You don't get a chance then to show yourself as you don't expect that from seeing the nets, what kind of player he will be. When that match comes, you get an opportunity, and only then you know how well that player will perform or not. Before the UP T20 league, the matches of our district were there. Then there are trial matches and games in the camp. So I think a player has played 8-10 matches until he goes to the senior team and plays for UP, whether its age or senior cricket. Until then, he remains ready and its a very good ecosystem, he explained. Reflecting on his time of playing in the IPL and now plying his trade in the UP T20 league, which began in 2023, Sharma stated, It was a very good experience. Obviously, when you are in the IPL, there is a different kind of vibe. There is a different atmosphere and you enjoy it. The first time, I was enjoying it a lot. The players whom I saw on TV, I was playing and sharing the dressing room with them. When that match comes, you get an opportunity, and only then you know how well that player will perform or not. Before the UP T20 league, the matches of our district were there. Then there are trial matches and games in the camp. So I think a player has played 8-10 matches until he goes to the senior team and plays for UP, whether its age or senior cricket. Until then, he remains ready and its a very good ecosystem, he explained. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories So, you get mentally trained to tackle that situation. When you are playing in the IPL or for India, I think it trains you on how to play in that pressure and situation. So its almost good, as you get same kind of situations and both the tournaments are fun to play in, he signed off. Article Source: IANS

Aviation regulator DGCA had flagged safety issues concerning Tecnam aircraft over a month before a Tecnam P2006T training aircraft crashed in Kanpur on August 27, killing a trainee pilot and an instructor. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had also issued safety recommendations to flying training organisations (FTOs) concerning the Tecnam aircraft and asked them to implement them with immediate effect. According to official communications accessed and reviewed by PTI, the DGCA had at least twice since 2025 flagged concerns over Tecnam planes, primarily used in India for flying training, with FTOs. The latest communication, dated July 10, 2026, circulated safety recommendations issued by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) following the May 12, 2022 crash of a twin-engine Tecnam P2006T, operated by FSTC Flying School Pvt Ltd, at Bhiwani in Haryana.

Impact Player Sameer Rizvi: Impact Player Sameer Rizvi delivered a masterclass in power-hitting, smashing an unbeaten 91 off just 39 balls to guide the Kanpur Superstars to a dominant eight-wicket win over the Noida Kings in Match 25 of the UP T20 League 2026. Played in front of an electric home crowd at the historic Green Park Stadium, a venue that has hosted 40 international matches, the victory keeps Kanpur's playoff aspirations firmly alive while handing Noida their second straight defeat. Following his Player of the Match performance, Rizvi revealed that a finger injury sustained earlier in the tournament prevented him from featuring in the starting XI. In our first match, I took a catch and injured my finger. Since then, Ive been having quite a lot of trouble while fielding, Rizvi explained. I told the management that I wanted to play as an Impact Player because whenever the ball hits my finger while fielding, the pain gets worse, and it was also causing problems while batting. So, we decided to use me as an Impact Player. After heavy rains delayed proceedings, the Green Park ground staff produced a swift turnaround to set up a 12-over-a-side contest. Chasing 129, Kanpur suffered early setbacks as both openers fell cheaply, but Rizvi stepped onto the pitch with total clarity of thought. Its important to show intent during the powerplay, Rizvi said. Since it was a 12-over match and the target was around 130, if a team capitalizes on the powerplay, it becomes easier to control the game later. My plan was that because the powerplay was short, whatever runs I could score would help the team as much as possible. Addressing whether the scoreboard pressure affected his game plan, Rizvi stated, No, sir. I was just thinking that I would play my gamethe way I normally playand bat like that till the end. Whether we needed five runs or fifty runs, I had decided on that mindset before going in, and I batted with the same approach. I wasnt thinking about who was at the non-strikers end or whether someone was supporting me; I just believed in myself that I had to score the runs on my own. Rizvi decorated his whirlwind innings with 11 boundaries and five sixes, finding solid support in Abhishek Pandey, who contributed an unbeaten 30 off 17 deliveries to wrap up the chase in just 10.4 overs. Addressing whether the scoreboard pressure affected his game plan, Rizvi stated, No, sir. I was just thinking that I would play my gamethe way I normally playand bat like that till the end.

Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Rizvi lauded stand-in skipper Adarsh Singh for his sharp tactical handling during Noida's early assault. He handled things really well. It was a flat wicket, and they got a good start initially. Even after that, he made some really good bowling changes and restricted them to a very low target. His captaincy was quite good.
