I started at the age group level, but there were no good academies in Sikkim. I played matches in Delhi and Guragaon, and that helped me, he said. When I was playing against U19 versus UP, it was a low-scoring game, and I made a contribution, so he knew then that I would make it big, he added, The youngster highlighted his natural attacking approach. Even I liked the first six; I had not scored a single six in two games, so the first one was special.

IPL 2026: Unchanged LSG Win Toss, Elect To Bowl First Against KKR

Unchanged Lucknow Super Giants: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) won the toss and elected to bowl first against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 15 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, played at Eden Gardens on Thursday. LSG have not made any changes to the playing XI, while Sunil Narine is back for KKR in place of fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani, and Varun Chakravarthy is still out due to injury. The three-time champions KKR have had a tough start to their campaign this season. They went down by six wickets to the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium and, upon returning home, suffered a crushing 65-run defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Their latest match against the Punjab Kings was abandoned due to rain, leaving them with just a solitary point so far. In contrast, LSG have featured in only two games up to this point. Their campaign began at home against the Delhi Capitals, where they seemed in control after reducing the opposition to 26/4 while defending a modest target of 142. However, Sameer Rizvis match-winning innings turned the game around in Delhis favour.LSG responded strongly in their next fixture, registering their first win of the season against Sunrisers Hyderabad. A composed and effective bowling display paved the way for a five-wicket victory, providing the side with much-needed confidence going into this clash. After winning the toss, LSG captain Rishabh Pant said, I think [we are] looking to bowl first. We want to put opposition at the back. As I said before, we trust our bowlers enough that they might do a good job for us. We always talk about being positive, having that intent at the same time. When you win, I think when people see all that are coming together, they are really happy for that. We're playing with the same team. No change for us. (How do they balance their batting order?) We feel our top order is definitely batting heavy, but at the same time, we trust our top order to get us through the whole innings. You know, that's what we are here for. After losing the toss, KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane said, We wanted to bowl. Just one change - Sunil comes in place of Blessing, Varun is still recovering from his hand injury. When he (Green) is allowed to bowl, we will see him, the combination gets better, so Rovman Powell plays, when Cam Green bowls, then we have an extra bowler.

This contest will be held at Eden Gardens at 7:30 PM IST. KKR had a lucky escape in the previous game against PBKS, when they lost two quick wickets before the rain came.

In recent years, it has become a high-scoring venue. Especially in the IPL, the wicket has been assisting the batters more. However, with some rain in the past few days, there might be some help for the fast bowlers.

Probable Best Bowler Mohammed Shami was superb in the last game against SRH, and his ability to pick early wickets makes him a big threat. For KKR, Vaibhav Arora has the ability to move the new ball and can be nippy in the powerplay. Today Match Prediction : KKR are in horrible form at the moment and are struggling a lot.

IPL 2026: Decision On Narine, Varun Participation To Be Taken At Toss, Say KKR Ahead Of LSG Clash

Kolkata Knight Riders: Struggling three-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders have confirmed that Sunil Narine has recovered from his illness and has returned to training ahead of their match against Lucknow Super Giants. Varun Chakravarthy remains uncertain due to a finger injury. Sunil became ill on the morning of our match against PBKS, which is why he wasnt part of the XI. He has felt better since then and trained with the team both yesterday and today. He batted and bowled, the franchise said in a statement. KKR also provided an update on Varun, revealing that the mystery spinner injured his left-hand little finger while fielding against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The medical team has been working closely with him. He bowled his full set at training today. We will know about their participation in tomorrows game against LSG at the toss, the statement added. Narines return is expected to significantly strengthen KKRs bowling attack, which struggled in their last match against the Punjab Kings. This was the first time since 2019 that the team played without both Narine and Varun. With only Anukul Roy as the main spinner in that game, KKR lacked their usual control during the middle overs. There is additional good news for the franchise, as Cameron Green is likely to resume bowling duties from the LSG match onward. The all-rounder had been held back so far due to workload management in coordination with Cricket Australia, even though he has been bowling regularly in training sessions. After managing only one point from three matches, KKR will be hoping the return of key players like Narine and possibly Varun can help revive their campaign and restore much-needed balance to their bowling unit.

IPL 2026: Injury-free Katik Tyagi Ready To Take 'responsibility' For KKR

Kolkata Knight Riders: Kartik Tyagi is ready to take on the responsibility for Kolkata Knight Riders ahead of their important match against Lucknow Super Giants at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Injuries to key bowlers have placed the 25-year-old in a situation in which the team is hoping for him to shoulder the burden of carrying the bowling unit. Even after a rain-abandoned game, Tyagi stated that the team's determination is strong. We have it in our minds that we have to win the match. We are quite hungry, he said before the contest at Eden Gardens. Our planning is complete. Hopefully, the result goes in our favour. Tyagis return to form has not been easy. He shared his ongoing struggles with injuries and the major changes he made to his bowling technique. I faced a lot of problems related to injuries, mainly a shin splint issue that wasnt getting better, he explained. Working closely with his childhood physios, Tyagi underwent significant changes. I made a lot of changes to how I run, whether to shorten my run-up, and the basic mechanics of sprinting. However, the transition was challenging. When the basics of my run-up changed, my arms and legs moved differently. I couldnt load correctly, and I wasnt able to repeat the same action. I had to find what worked best for me because I had issues like out-jumping, which I needed to fix to become a better bowler. Fortunately for KKR, Tyagi feels his biggest strength is still there. Pace is a very natural thing; its inside your body, you dont have to bring it from outside, he said. If I run with good rhythm and bowl continuously, it just comes to me. With injuries affecting key players, Tyagi mentioned that the team had prepared for such situations. We knew well in advance that there were two or three injuries in the team. We were in camps in Mumbai for a long time, preparing our combinations. It became easier because everyone knew their role ahead of time. Yes, injuries are a setback, but you have to learn to manage them. Looking back on his inconsistent IPL journey, he acknowledged his limited appearances. Its not the teams fault because I was unfit myself. Last year, I took a break from cricket to focus solely on getting fit because whenever I started playing, the same issues would happen. Im not thinking about the past anymore; I want to carry out what Ive learned. Bowling in the powerplay at a high-scoring place like Eden Gardens comes with its own challenges. However, Tyagi credited Dwayne Bravos presence for guiding pressure. When you are under pressure, you cant always think straight. A bowler might just keep bowling the same delivery after getting hit, he said. Thats where Bravos extensive T20 experience helps. It gives us an idea of what the best ball on a specific wicket might be and boosts our confidence in our skills. Looking back on his inconsistent IPL journey, he acknowledged his limited appearances.

KKR have had a tough start to their campaign this season.

Their campaign began at home against the Delhi Capitals, where they seemed in control after reducing the opposition to 26/4 while defending a modest target of 142. However, Sameer Rizvis match-winning innings turned the game around in Delhis favour. LSG responded strongly in their next fixture, registering their first win of the season against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Kolkata Knight Riders: Australian all-rounder Cameron Green is likely to take up bowling in the next match in Kolkata Knight Riders' next match against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday, a report has claimed. Green, who became the most expensive foreign player in the IPL Auction when he was purchased by the KKR for Rs 25.20 crore, has played for the team in their opening matches as a pure batter. According to Cricket Australia, KKR had been informed that Green would start IPL 2026 as a specialist batter. 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 returning in around 10-12 days' time, CA said in a statement released after KKR's first match against the Mumbai Indians on March 30. Now, with KKR playing the 15th game of the season against LSG and more than ten days having passed since Cricket Australia's update, ESPNcricinfo has reported that Green is ready to bowl in a competitive situation. Green has failed to deliver as a batter in his first three matches, as the Australian player has managed to score just 24 runs in three innings. He hit 18 runs in KKR's campaign opener against the Mumbai Indians (MI) but failed to cross the double-digit mark in the next two matches against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) as he got out for just two and four runs, respectively.
