Who is Raj Bawa? Mumbai Indians Young All-Rounder with a Golden Sporting Legacy
For its IPL 2026 opener against Kolkata Knight Riders, the impact subs named by Mumbai Indians were: Surya Kumar Yadav, Corbin Bosch, Robin Minz, Raj Bawa and Ashwani Kumar. Who is this Raj Bawa? Raj Angad Bawa, a young cricketer from Chandigarh, is a seam-bowling all-rounder (left-handed batting and right-arm medium-fast bowling). He was one of the stars of Indias successful 2022 ICC U19 World Cup campaign. He smashed 162* against Uganda (the highest score of the event). It also became the highest individual score by any Indian at the U-19 World Cup, surpassing Sheikh Dhawans previous record of 155 from 2004. He then claimed a historic match-winning 5/31 in the final against England. This was the best bowling performance in a U-19 World Cup final. It didnt take him long to begin his IPL journey as Punjab Kings secured him in the 2022 auction for Rs.2 crore after an intense bidding war. However, his tenure with them was marked by limited opportunities (he scored 11 runs in two outings in the 2022 season and was not used as a bowler) and injury and was released prior to the 2024 auction. Ahead of the 2025 Mega Auction, Mumbai Indians got him for Rs. 30 lacs. Although he scored 8* in the single outing in the three matches played (and was not used as a bowler), the team continued to place their faith in the left-hander and retained him for IPL 2026. This has given him another opportunity to share the dressing room with some of the finest T20 cricketers to polish his skills at the highest level. Raj Angad Bawa has another introduction also, as he has an exciting legacy. He is grandson of an Olympic gold medallist, Trilochan Singh Bawa. His playing for India in the ICC U19 World Cup and then IPL has added a chapter of glory to this proud legacy. Not only did his grandfathers achievement on the Olympic stage serve as an inspiration, he has carried forward a family tradition of sporting excellence. Trilochan Singh Bawa, was part of India's hockey team that won the gold medal at the 1948 Olympics in London. Not only this, his father, Sukhwinder Singh Bawa, is considered among the first coaches of Yuvraj Singh, and in particular, he is often credited for having advised Yuvraj to bowl spin rather than fast. The family nourished the pursuit of sporting excellence. Although Raj didnt see much of his Olympian grandfather as he lost him at the age of five, its natural that Raj Bawa has high hopes riding on him. Trilochan Singh Bawa:At the London 1948 Olympics hockey final, India defeated England to win gold, by 4-0 and Trilochan Bawa scored one goal, which was his second goal at the Olympics. The 1948 hockey gold is considered as the start of Indian sporting glory as this was the first for India after independence. Sukhwinder Bawa:He was a renowned cricket coach, moulded India internationals like Yuvraj Singh and VR Singh. He played both hockey and cricket while young, but a spine injury in his 20s, forced him to concentrate on coaching. Raj Bawa:He has already earned a name for himself with his fine display and played a starring role in India winning the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup 2022 for a record fifth time. He was born in Nahan (HP) but grew up in Chandigarh. He grew up listening to the stories of his grandfather from his grandmother and father, and they have stayed with him. Whenever I see that gold medal, it gives me goosebumps. I can only imagine how important an achievement it must have been, back then, Raj Bawa remembers. This medal has worked as a catalyst for Raj Bawa to live up to the sporting legacy of the family. Raj joined Sukhwinders coaching academy. Yuvraj Singh also trained here and was a hero for Raj. It is believed that Raj became a left-handed bat after watching Yuvraj. The 2022 U-19 World Cup brought success for Raj Bawa (who scored 252 runs and claimed nine wickets in six outings). He plays Ranji Trophy also. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Raj Bawa knows that he has a long way to go as quite a number of players have not been able to carry forward their under-19 success to the highest level, but he has the genes of an Olympic champion in him, so everyone is hopeful of his success. It will not be out of order to add here that India player Reetinder Singh Sodhi (18 ODIs) is Raj Babas cousin. He was also the hero and man of the match during the U-19 World Cup final in 2000, when India beat Sri Lanka.

IPL Ticket Row Resolved, MLAs To Get 3 Tickets: Shivakumar
DNA Entertainment Networks Managing Director: Deputy Chief Minister and Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President D. K. Shivakumar on Monday said that the issue of ticket allocation for Indian Premier League matches has been resolved amicably, with a revised quota for legislators and Members of Parliament. He made the statement after addressing the media following a meeting with members of the Karnataka State Cricket Association, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and DNA Event Management Company. Shivakumar said he had earlier held discussions with the Speaker and senior leaders on the matter. It has been decided that three tickets will be provided to Members of the Legislative Assembly and Members of Parliament for Indian Premier League matches, instead of the earlier four. For international matches, the Karnataka State Cricket Association will provide two complimentary tickets; additional tickets must be purchased. He explained, Two tickets will be given free, and if they want two more, they will have to purchase them. Representatives from Royal Challengers Bangalore, the DNA network, and Karnataka State Cricket Association management had met him regarding the issue. Karnataka State Cricket Association President and former Indian pacer Venkatesh Prasad was also present during the discussions. If anyone does not want tickets, they can submit a letter. Members of the Legislative Assembly make several demands, and not all can be fulfilled. The issue has now been settled, he said. Shivakumar noted that in states like Rajasthan, Mumbai, Delhi, and Kolkata, a significant percentage of tickets, over 50 to 60 per cent, are allocated to government officials and related categories. Compared to those places, there is less interference here, he said, adding that the matter has been closed. Regarding infrastructure, he said discussions were held to increase seating capacity at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Authorities have been asked to submit a proposal to the government. If seating capacity can be increased by 20,000, it would be beneficial. Once the proposal comes, the government will examine it, he said. Responding to a query on a separate gallery for politicians, he said he did not wish to interfere. It was a small request. For Royal Challengers Bangalore matches, three tickets will be given, and for other matches, two tickets will be given. I will not interfere further, he said. He also said the government has allocated land for sports infrastructure, including 25 acres near Golden Spa, 25 acres in Tumakuru, and land in Mysuru. In Bengaluru, two to three locations have been identified for developing a new stadium that can host multiple sports, not just cricket. On by-elections, Shivakumar said he will campaign in Davanagere on Tuesday, while Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has already campaigned in Bagalkot. I will visit Bagalkot the following day, return to Davanagere, and then go back to Bagalkot, he said. He also said he will travel to Kerala on April 5 and 6. He announced that he, along with All India Congress Committee General Secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala, will address a press conference at the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee office regarding the cooking gas crisis. Speaking about Assam, Shivakumar said the Congress party stands by its promises. We have announced guarantees in Assam and delivered speeches there. The Congress always keeps its word, unlike those who promised Rs 15 lakh in bank accounts and Acche Din, he said. He added that he has visited Assam multiple times and recently tried local cuisine at a hotel, describing it as tasty. We have announced guarantees in Assam and delivered speeches there.

IPL 2026: Thakur Doesnt Get Intimidated, Even When Batters Are Attacking, Says Pathan
Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India left-arm fast bowler Irfan Pathan praised seam-bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur for his contributions playing a vital hand in Mumbai Indians beating Kolkata Knight Riders by six wickets in IPL 2026, adding that he doesnt get intimidated, even when batters are attacking him. At the Wankhede Stadium, Thakur returned figures of 3-39 to be named player of the match as five-time champions MI got off to a winning start and broke their 14-year jinx of being winless in tournament opening games. Hes not a bowler who gets intimidated, even when batters are attacking. He keeps coming at you. What stands out is how he uses his variations. Every time he starts his run-up, hes already changing his grip, whether its for a slower ball, cross-seam, or even a scrambled seam delivery. Hes always trying to make something happen. He invites batters to go for big shots and thrives on that. He doesnt have express pace or big swing, but hes constantly experimenting, different lengths, speeds, and thats why he keeps picking up wickets, said Pathan on JioStar. He also lauded wicketkeeper-batter Ryan Rickelton for hitting a commanding 81 and sharing a 148-run opening stand with Rohit Sharma, who hit a blistering 61. Preferred ahead of his South Africa team-mate Quinton de Kock, Rickelton showcased his expansive strokeplay and clarity in targeting spinners. Ryan Rickelton was outstanding. We spoke before the game about his form being better than Quinton de Kocks, and he showed exactly why. He has a wider range, especially on the off-side. That six over cover was a special shot. His shoulder alignment allows him to access those areas consistently and play in front of the wicket with control. Against spin, he was very clear, attacking from the first ball and looking for the slog sweep. That intent worked for him, and on a pitch like Mumbai, his style of batting is ideally suited, he added. Ryan Rickelton was outstanding.

Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India spinner Anil Kumble lauded Rohit Sharma's batting show against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), where he scored the fastest fifty in IPL history, saying the opener arrived this season in his 2.0 avatar, which will be a sign of worry for other franchises in the league. Mumbai Indians ended a 13-season jinx by winning their first opening match with a clinical six-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders. Rohit played a brilliant knock of 78 off 38. He reached his fifty-run mark off 23 balls. This is his fastest half-century in IPL so far. His previous fastest was off 25 balls, which came against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 2015 final at Eden Gardens. Rohit Sharma seems to have arrived in his 2.0 avatar, and his innings showed he is ready to dominate again. The way he hit the ball all around the ground reminded me of his prime. It is not easy to hit sixes against bowlers like Varun Chakaravarthy, Sunil Narine and Blessing Muzarabani, but he made it look easy, Kumble said on JioStar.

As Mumbai Indians: As Mumbai Indians have finally shed one of the IPLs most curious streaks, head coach Mahela Jayawardene revealed that the long-standing hoodoo had remained a recurring theme within the dressing room, making its end as much a mental breakthrough as a statistical one. A six-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday marked MI's first opening-game victory since 2012. Since their last opening-game win in 2012 against Chennai Super Kings, MI went on to build one of the most dominant franchises in IPL history, collecting five titles along the way. Not winning the first match of a new IPL season after 2012 was something that we always talk about in the dressing room. We got close to winning in each of the opening matches in the last 13 seasons but we never managed to successfully get over the line, Jayawardene told JioStar. I think this win over KKR was a great execution. I got a bit nervous when KKR got to a score of 220, but the wicket was pretty decent to bat on and Rohit-Rickeltons fearless batting ensured that we didnt suffer any hiccups. Im very happy with the win and delighted to break the streak of losing our first match in a new IPL season, he added. The chase was anchored by an aggressive approach at the top, with Rohit Sharma leading the charge alongside Ryan Rickelton, as Mumbai refused to let the required rate spiral. Their intent effectively neutralised what could have been scoreboard pressure, turning a potentially tricky pursuit into a statement of authority. I think this win over KKR was a great execution.

KKR ... : Cricket Australia forced to clarify on Green after Rahanes ask CA jibe
Cricket Australia clarified Cameron Green's inability to bowl for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2026, citing a lower back injury. This came after KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane's pointed remarks about the Australian board. Green is undergoing managed rehabilitation and is expected to resume bowling in 10-12 days, with KKR fully informed.
Kolkata Knight Riders: Cricket Australia has responded to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain Ajinkya Rahane, who said that only the Australian board knows why, Cameron Green didn't bowl in the team's heavy loss to the Mumbai Indians, saying the they had informed the franchise in advance that the allrounder would not bowl for the first 1012 days of the IPL due to a back injury. On Sunday, KKR suffered a heavy defeat against MI as Hardik Pandya's men successfully chased a target of 221 with six wickets and five balls remaining. Openers Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton combined for a 148-run partnership, quickly putting the game out of KKR's reach within the first 10 overs. Seeking answers, KKR couldn't rely on their top all-rounder Cameron Green, who was bought for a record Rs 25.20 crore.

IPL 2026: 'Lord' Shardul Happy To Finally Play For MI, Shine On Home Ground
Kolkata Knight Riders: Shardul Thakur, who was a net bowler for the Mumbai Indians in their early years, celebrated his first match for the franchise with a three-wicket haul that helped them beat the Kolkata Knight Riders by six wickets at the Wankhede Stadium.

Thakur, who was named Player of the Match for his effort, said he likes to take up challenges, and Sunday presented such a situation. I've said this before, I like challenges. This was a challenging situation, especially in the sixth over. Because you expect Boult or Bumrah to get early wickets, but that didn't happen. So it was challenging coming in and bowling that sixth over. Challenges are what have made me. This ground has given me both bitter and sweet memories, said Thakur in the post-match presentation. He said that playing for the Mumbai Indians is special for him as it allows him to play at his home ground. To come and play for MI is special. To come and play on my home ground. I was a net bowler and an upcoming boy in the early years, quietly making my mark. Since then, it was always going to happen, and it's finally happened. So it feels special. I'll be very happy if I stay here [for my career]. It's my home city. The kind of backing I have got here is amazing. To trade me from LSG and play me in my first game, he said. He said that playing for the Mumbai Indians is special for him as it allows him to play at his home ground. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I like them because people give that name with love.

IPL 2026: Rohit, Rickelton Fifties Help MI Beat KKR, End Season-opener Jinx
Kolkata Knight Riders: Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton struck blazing half-centuries to help the Mumbai Indians romp to a six-wicket win against Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 2 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, ending their embarrassing streak of not winning their opening match in 13 seasons. After pacer Shardul Thakur had claimed 3-39 to halt a rampaging KKR with skipper Ajinkya Rahane (67) and Angkrish Raghuvanshi (51) scoring half-centuries, Rohit Sharma struck a majestic 78 off 38 balls, and Rickelton blasted 81 off 43 balls as the Mumbai Indians reached 224/4 in 19.1 overs to secure their first victory in a season-opener since 2012. It was vintage Rohit Sharma as the former captain turned back the clock with a sensational innings, just when everyone was thinking till when he would continue to play in T20 after quitting it at the international stage. Rohit Sharma hammered a 23-ball fifty, his fastest in IPL, hitting three fours and five sixes as he gave the team a brilliant start. He also became the fourth batter to score a half-century of 50-plus scores in IPL. This was Rohit's 50th half-century in 268 IPL matches, joining the club led by Virat Kohli (73, 261 matches), David Warner (66 in 184) and Shikhar Dhawan (53 in 221). After two steady overs in which Rohit scored 12 runs off eight balls, the former India captain launched into the KKR bowlers. Rohit first pulled Vaibhav Arora into the stands before his opening partner, Ryan Rickelton, deposited Arora for back-to-back sixes. Rohit's second six came when he backed away and scythed Blessings Muzarabani over deep backward point. The third came when Rohit backed away and scythed Muzarabani over deep backward point. He scored three more sixes, lofting Varun Chakravarthy over covers and then helping him over square-leg. Another six against Impact substitute Kartik Tyagi, hitting him for a six as the Mumbai Indians storm to 80 for no loss in the Power-play. At the other end, Rickelton raced to his fifty off 24 balls, hitting two fours and six maximums as he matched Rohit shot for shot. Rohit, who scored three fours and one six after reaching his fifty, was the first to get out, trying to slog Arora in the 12th over, but managing to top-edge it, and Anukul Roy hung on to a superb catch, running back from mid-on and had to put in a full-length dive to hold on to that. The 38-year-old scored a superb 78 off 38 balls, hitting six boundaries and as many maximums. Rohit and Rickelton smashed 148 runs for the opening wicket partnership off 72 balls, giving Mumbai a fabulous start. Though India's T20 World Cup-winning Suryakumar Yadav did not contribute much, coming in as an Impact Substitute for his teammate Jasprit Bumrah. Surya struck three fours in his eight-ball 16. Rickelton continued to torment KKR as he hit two fours and two more sixes before getting out for 81 off 43 balls, before he was run out to a direct hit by Anukul Roy, blocked by Muzarabani as he tried to get to the non-striker end after Tilak Varma refused a call for second. Mumbai were 184/3 in the 16th over and firmly on the road to victory. Though Tilak Varma was out for 20 trying to seal victory with a big one, skipper Hardik Pandya (18 not out) helped them cross the line with a four in the final over. KKR's efforts in the field were hampered a bit by the absence of skipper Rahane, who went off the field after suffering cramps.

IPL 2026: Rahane, Raghuvanshi Fifties Power KKR To 220/4 Against MI
Skipper Ajinkya Rahane: Skipper Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi scored half-centuries as Kolkata Knight Riders reached 220/4 in 20 overs in a start-stop-start innings against Mumbai Indians in their opening match of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. Asked to bat first, Rahane provided the early impetus to the KKR innings with a 40-ball 67, while Raghuvanshi provided the late finish with a 28-ball 51 after the Mumbai Indians had fought back with a three-wicket burst by Shardul Thakur (3-39). Raghuvanshi and Rinku Singh (33* off 21 balls) shared a 60-run partnership for the fourth wicket that helped KKR recover from the mid-innings slump to reach what is being considered a par score. After a quiet first two overs, the KKR opening pair of Rahane, on his home ground, and Finn Allen exploded into action as they hammered 54 runs in 18 balls as the team raced to their first fifty against the Mumbai Indians, reaching the mark in 23 balls. The carnage started when Hardik Pandya introduced Afghan mystery spinner AM Ghazanfar, and the bowler was smashed for 17 runs in his first over, with Allen walloping him for two sixes and a four. Things got worse in the next over as Rahane hammered back-to-back sixes off Pandya in the first two balls of the fourth over, while Allen struck the Mumbai Indian captain boundaries off successive balls to end it as KKR blasted 26 runs from the over, racing to fifty in just 23 balls. Shardul Thakur, making his debut for MI in his home town, made the breakthrough in the sixth over, getting Allen (37, 17b, 6x4, 2x6) caught at long-on with a slower delivery as KKR ended the Power-play at 78/1. Allen and Rahane raised 69 runs for the opening wicket, laying the foundation for a big total. Cameron Green's first innings as the costliest overseas player ever in IPL history lasted only 10 balls and fetched 18 runs as Thakur took the pace off a delivery that bounced a bit, and Green's slap-shot went down the throat of Sherfane Rutherford at deep cover. Rahane and Green added 40 runs for the second wicket. Rahane continued the good work from the other end as he cruised to his fifty in 27 balls, hitting three boundaries and four maximums. The fall of two wickets slowed down Rahane as he tried to build another partnership with Angkrish Raghuvanshi, but that did not materialise as the skipper was next to fall. Thakur picked up his third wicket of the night as Rahane went inside-out on a cross-seam full delivery outside off and toe-ended it to Pandya at cover, back-tracking to take a simple catch. KKR lost momentum after that, but Raghuvanshi pulled them back again by hitting Ghazanfar for a four, dropped by Rohit Sharma near the long-on boundary rope, and six straight down in the next ball to add more insult to injury. He struck Thakur for a six in the 17th over before Rinku Singh struck a four three balls later as they raised 50 runs for the fourth wicket partnership. Raghuvanshi reached his fifty off 28 balls, hitting six fours and two sixes before slicing Pandya in the air to Tilak Varma as KKR crossed the 200-run mark.
