IPL 2026: Just Unfortunate That Green Has Not Been Able To Bowl So Far, Says Nayar
Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) head coach Abhishek Nayar said it was just unfortunate that Australian all-rounder Cameron Green has not been able to bowl so far in the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL), adding that the franchises long-term plan was for him to be identified as a replacement for Andre Russell. Green, purchased by KKR for a jaw-dropping Rs 25.2 crore at last years IPL auction, didn't bowl an over in their season opening six-wicket defeat to Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, with Cricket Australia (CA) confirming that his bowling duties are restricted at the moment due to a lower back injury and can resume it after 10-12 days. There are things that sometimes are very unfortunate; its not in your control, but thats the sport, and thats the beauty of the sport. So, we always consider best-case scenarios. Yes, you want back-ups; you pick players who do certain things. But when we went into the auction, very simple: if Russ wasnt there, who is the next best all-rounder that we felt in the world and could add a lot of value and could take that Russell legacy forward in a different role? We felt Cam Green could do that for us. Its just unfortunate that hes not been able to bowl so far, said Nayar in the pre-match press conference, ahead of their clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Eden Gardens on Thursday. Nayar also said the franchise had considered injuries and fitness updates but ultimately invested in Greens overall skill set. See, the idea of picking a player in an auction is not always very short-sighted. There is obviously a horizon. You look at what a player has done over a number of years and the skill set he possesses. The sport is interesting in that way, in that a lot of times you pick a player with certain prowess, and sometimes they may even do the skill youre talking about and not perform. But for us, Cameron Green, the cricketer and the all-rounder, was really important. You take a lot of things into consideration at times, whether theres an injury, fitness updates. But eventually, I think when the auction happens and when the tournament happens, its not immediate. So whatever decision you make, you dont know what the future lies and what the future will hold. So in that aspect, we as a franchise always invest in the player and what the player at his best can bring to our table, and we know what Cam Green can do, he elaborated. Nayar further backed wrist-spinner Varun Chakaravarthy to come good, with him struggling to hit top form since the Super Eights of the 2026 Mens T20 World Cup. I honestly believe mentally he is in a very good space. Actually, in a better space than hes been in previous years in that regard. Is it his toughest challenge? I feel hes gone through a lot more than this. So whatever decision you make, you dont know what the future lies and what the future will hold. So in that aspect, we as a franchise always invest in the player and what the player at his best can bring to our table, and we know what Cam Green can do, he elaborated. Also Read: Live Cricket Score But yes, teams are playing him well. Doesnt mean he cant come back - it just means that its another challenge in his life like hes had prior, and we are trying and we are hoping and in every way backing him, and I hope the fans and the world do too, for him to come back once again, either in this game or in the future. But its inevitable that he will bounce back as he has in the past, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch KKR Vs SRH, Know All Details
Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders will aim to resolve key bowling issues, especially in their spin bowlers, when they face Sunrisers Hyderabad in an IPL 2026 match at Eden Gardens on Thursday. The game features two batting-focused teams, but both sides have notable weaknesses in their bowling attacks. For KKR, this match marks the start of a vital home phase. With three fixtures scheduled within a week and another on April 19 before a lengthy break due to state elections, the three-time champions will be keen to capitalise on familiar conditions. Historically dominant at Eden Gardens, KKR have won 54 of their 95 matches at the venue, but their current campaign has begun on shaky ground. A lack of bowling depth has become a significant concern. Injuries to Harshit Rana and Akash Deep, along with the unavailability of Matheesha Pathirana and Cameron Green's limited role, have weakened their attack. These issues were evident in their opener, where they failed to defend a total of 220, conceding a large opening stand that highlighted their difficulties with the new ball. More concerning, however, has been the performance of their spin duo, Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy. Chakravarthy leaked runs without much success, while Narine was underutilised, raising questions about KKRs ability to control the middle overs. SRH encounters similar problems following their loss in the opening match. Although they have a strong top order with Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Travis Head, their bowling unit found it difficult to defend a score over 200. Pat Cummins's absence due to fitness issues has further weakened their lineup. After several bowlers underperformed in the opener, SRH must rely on both their key batsmen and bowlers to excel in what is expected to be a high-scoring match. When: Wednesday, April 2, 7:30 PM IST Where: Eden Gardens, Kolkata Where to watch: The KKR vs SRH match will be broadcast on Star Sports channels, with JioHotstar live-streaming the game.

KKR vs SRH Match 6, IPL 2026: Preview, Predicted XIs, Player Tips & Match Prediction
KKR vs SRH Match 6, Cricket Tips :Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad recorded a defeat in their opening matches of the IPL 2026. KKR lost to Mumbai Indians while defending 220 runs, whereas SRH couldn't defend 201 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Both teams suffered humiliation because of poor bowling displays. As a result, both teams will be under pressure when they step on the field to face each other in Kolkata. These two will be in action on Thursday at Eden Gardens at 7:30 PM IST. Batting-wise, these sides have several options, but their bowling units look below-average. The team that can bowl well will get over the line on Thursday. KKR vs SRH: Match Details Date: April 02, 2026 (Thursday) Time: 7:30 PM IST Venue: Eden Gardens, Kolkata KKR vs SRH Live Streaming Details The KKR vs SRH clash will be televised on the Star Sports Networks in India. For the Indian fans, the live stream will be provided through the Jio Hotstar app or website. KKR vs SRH Head-to-Head in IPL Total Matches : 30 KKR : 20 SRH : 10 No-Result : 00 KKR vs SRH: Ground Pitch Report Eden Gardens is another happy hunting venue for the batting side in India. The wicket here has nothing for the bowlers, and it is a high-scoring game. Teams have scored 200+ here consistently. Fast outfields and shorter boundaries play in the hands of the batters. KKR vs SRH Possible XIs KKR: Ajinkya Rahane (c), Sunil Narine, Finn Allen, Cam Green, Angkrish Raghuvanshi (wk), Ramandeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Anukul Roy, Varun Chakaravarthy, Vaibhav Arora, Blessing Muzarabani SRH : Ishan Kishan (c & wk), Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, Liam Livingstone, Harsh Dubey, Aniket Verma, Nitish Reddy, Salil Arora, Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Zeeshan Ansari, David Payne KKR vs SRH: Player to Watch Out For Probable Best Batter Finn Allen showed some glimpses of his ability against MI but got out at the wrong time. But he will like batting in Kolkata, and his 33-ball century against South Africa came at this venue. For SRH, stand-in captain Ishan Kishan is in good form, and he will be the big wicket. Probable Best Bowler Sunil Narine holds the key for KKR because of his experience in Kolkata. He can take wickets in the middle overs. For SRH, Harshal Patel is the all-phase bowler, and his team will expect him to perform well. Today Match Prediction : SRH have a weaker bowling unit, with not many wicket-taking options. Hence, we predict KKR, who are playing at home, to win this game.

BCB Plans Womens League In July; Director Rubaba Declines Comment On India-Bangladesh Cricket Ties
The Bangladesh Cricket Board: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is all set to start a women's edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2026, which will start in July this year, though things on restarting cricketing ties with India are not yet clear. The fact that the BCB is all set to start a T20 league for women in July was revealed to IANS by Rubaba Dowla, Director of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and Chairperson of the Women's Wing, on Tuesday. Rubaba Dowla, however, refused to say anything about resumption of cricket ties and the tour by the indian men's and women's cricket teams of Bangladesh, which were postponed last year because of the conditions prevailing in Bangladesh. The tours were deferred as cricket ties between the two countries spiralled and touched a nadir during the rule of an interim government in Bangladesh. Many Indians have demanded that the BCCI to not send its teams to Bangladesh because of the incidents of mob lynching and killing of Hindus in the country.

The decision did not bode well with the Bangladesh government and public, and the BCB responded by seeking relocation of their team's matches in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 from India to Sri Lanka, citing security concerns for its players. Despite repeated assessments, the ICC rejected such a request, citing a lack of any credible security threats for Bangladeshi players.

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.

Want You Here For Rest Of Your Career: Hardik Pandya's Gesture For MI Star Wins Hearts
Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya lauded all-rounder Shardul Thakur after the team's victory over Kolkata Knight Riders in their IPL 2026 opening match on Sunday.
Former India opener Aakash Chopra said that Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) should be eligible for a refund if Cameron Green does not bowl during IPL 2026.
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.

Seems To Be In 2.0 Avatar: Rohit Sharma Receives Massive Praise For India Great
Former Indian cricketer Anil Kumble lauded Mumbai Indians batting icon Rohit Sharma's majestic half-century against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), describing it as a return to his dominant 2.0 avatar.
Rohits 2.0 Avatar Will Worry All IPL Teams: Kumble
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.

After losing, Rahane appeared frustrated when asked why Green didn't bowl at all as the KKR captain told presenter Ian Bishop that the question should go to Cricket Australia, implying the board had prevented Green from bowling in the IPL. Cricket Australia has now responded, clarifying that, Cameron has a lower back injury which is being managed but requires him to abstain from bowling for a short period. Cameron is currently rebuilding his bowling loads in India with a view to return in around 10-12 days' time. KKR has been communicated with and is fully aware of this information.
