Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium: Indias T20I captain and batting ace Suryakumar Yadav had some thoughtful words for former Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma, who completed 15 years with the franchise, as he wished the veteran opener a long association with the team while also congratulating him on the achievement. It's a fantastic achievement, 15 years playing for one franchise. Also, I remember, before entering this dressing room, I made my debut in first-class cricket when you were around, in 2010-11. And then I came here in 2011, though the first three years with the Mumbai Indians were very electrifying. Couldn't get a lot of time to spend with you on the field, off the field also. But then, when I came back in 2018, it was a wonderful journey till now. And as Polly says, may long that continue for as long as, as long as you want to. We're very excited. I think 15 years is an incredible achievement. Congratulations, said Surya in a video shared by the franchise across social media platforms. Rohit began his Indian Premier League (IPL) career with the Deccan Chargers in 2008 but moved to MI in 2011, a transfer strongly endorsed by the then-captain Sachin Tendulkar. He made his MI debut on April 10, 2011, against Delhi Daredevils (now named Delhi Capitals) at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, scoring an unbeaten 27, sharing a match-clinching partnership with Tendulkar in a dominant eight-wicket win.

As the celebrations continued, seamer Shardul Thakur offered heartfelt words for Rohit in front of the players and support staff in the dressing room, highlighting the other side of his leadership.

'Showing Character Even If You Lose Is Important,' Says Karthik After RCB's Loss Against RR
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) head coach Dinesh Karthik lauded his teams character and fighting spirit despite a six-wicket loss to Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their third match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Barsapara Stadium on Friday It's important to understand that in a tournament like IPL, it's a marathon; you're not going to win every game. But if the team keeps showing character, keeps fighting, that's all that's important, Karthik said in a video released by RCB on X. Reflecting on the conditions, Karthik admitted the pitch wasnt easy for batting, even though RCB started aggressively. First up, I felt the pitch was not that easy to bat on. We started with Salty on an absolute slaughter, and again, we picked up pace, but it wasn't really coming on. Like Dave's dismissal, it just showed that the pitch was sticking. It's quite a wonderful effort, in spite of all the challenges that we had, to get to the score that we did. He reserved special praise for captain Rajat Patidar, who scored 63 runs and helped the team recover from an early setback to post a mammoth total of 201 runs in 20 overs. Rajat Patidar was special. It's just great to see him play so well in terms of shot making, but also understand the situation of the game, and the way he made sure that he was there almost right up to the end shows his character. Very happy as a group to see how well he reacted to that tough situation, he said. Karthik also spoke highly of Venkatesh Iyer, who grabbed his unexpected opportunity and scored 29 runs in just 15 balls. Venkatesh Iyer, obviously, walking into the game, he wasn't slotted into play. But he got told, right at the back end, that he might need to bat, considering where we were. And for him to come in, just grab his opportunity with both hands, and make an effort, I mean, make an impact in the game, wonderful. Just good signs, and I'm sure he's going to have a bright season whenever he gets the opportunity. On the bowling front, Karthik felt the early breakthrough set the tone for RCB. First of all, we got an early wicket in Jaiswal, and that set the tone for us, and it came from the man that we all believe will make a massive impact in the powerplay. However, he acknowledged the match-defining performance from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Dhruv Jurel, who helped the team chase the target in just 18 overs. But as it happens in IPL, there was one extraordinary knock, and he batted beautifully, and so did group durations. It was good to see us, in spite of the onslaught, almost 100 was scored on the first six, but we still took the game that deep. Tells you the character that they have in the team. Despite the loss, Karthik remained optimistic about the teams approach moving forward.

IPL 2026: Bangar, Pujara, Harbhajan, Karim Share Their Thoughts Ahead Of High-voltage 'Rivalry Week'
Indian Premier League: The Rivalry Week of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 promises a high-voltage sequence of fixtures, with some of the season's most anticipated matchups lined up. On that note, several former Indian cricketers have shared their insights into what fans can expect at this crucial juncture of the tournament. Sanjay Bangar highlighted the emergence of young talent as a key storyline. Rivalry Week comes at a crucial juncture in the tournament, where teams will begin to assess their form two weeks in. What has stood out for me so far in the tournament is the emergence of these fearless prodigies, which bodes well for both Indian cricket and the tournament. Im looking forward to the contest between Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah. It promises to be a fascinating battle. Everything is set up beautifully, and fans are in for a treat, he told JioStar. The week kicks off on April 12 with a blockbuster clash between the Mumbai Indians (MI) and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), reigniting the Rohit SharmaVirat Kohli rivalry. The Pandya brothers, Hardik and Krunal, will face off, while Kohlis encounter with MIs Jasprit Bumrah adds another layer of intrigue. While MI lead the overall head-to-head 1915, RCB have dominated recent meetings and will look to extend that streak. Cheteshwar Pujara pointed to the Southern Rivalry between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on April 18 as a marquee fixture. One of the highlight fixtures of Rivalry Week is the Southern Rivalry between CSK and SRH where high-decibel action is guaranteed. CSK are in a transition phase, while SRH have one of the most explosive sides in this competition. That said, this presents an opportunity for CSKs heavyweights, like Sanju Samson and Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, to step up and make a statement. It will be interesting to see who seizes early momentum. This will be anyone's game, he said. Harbhajan Singh highlighted the MI-PBKS clash on April 16, particularly the influence of Shreyas Iyer. Were witnessing a fascinating trend in the IPL 2026, where the fearless prodigies are firmly seizing the spotlight. Rivalry Week will only build on that momentum, bringing together not just the fearless prodigies but also some of the games heavyweights. You look at the likes of Shreyas Iyer, and its hard not to think of the PBKS vs MI clash. They come into this game on different trajectories: MI with stutter in the form after thumping start, and PBKS carrying forward their momentum from 2025. But for me, the playmaker here is Iyer, expect a big performance from the skipper, leading from the front on his home ground. This one has all the makings of a thriller, he expressed.

IPL 2026 Rivalry Week Set to Ignite with Blockbuster Clashes Featuring MI, RCB, CSK, KKR and More
The 2026 edition of theIPL is heating up, with teams gradually settling on their best XIs and gaining a better understanding of their home conditions as the tournament progresses. Two weeks in, Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Punjab Kings, and Delhi Capitals look the most settled in terms of balance, squad depth, and players delivering consistently. Now, with Rivalry Week on JioStar around the corner, some of the most celebrated teams are set to lock horns in iconic contests that could define the tone for a blockbuster second half of the season. Here are five reasons why Rivalry Week promises unmissable action for fans. Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru (April 12) There could not be a bigger fixture to kick off Rivalry Week. Two of Indias modern icons, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, now seen in just one format in India colours, go head-to-head once again. The last time MI faced RCB, both were still active Test cricketers. Add to that the subplot and battle of the Pandya brothers, Hardik vs Krunal, and it only elevates the contest. Another interesting match-up is the battle of the GOATs, with Kohli facing the guile and firepower of Jasprit Bumrah. While MI lead the overall head-to-head 1915, RCB have had the upper hand in recent meetings and, on current form, the defending champions will be keen to make it three wins in the last four against a star-studded MI line-up. Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders (April 14) A rivalry shaped by title-denying moments, KKR halted CSKs bid for a hat-trick in 2012, while CSK returned the favour in 2021. In recent years, this fixture has also been defined by the crossover of personnel, with former CSK players like Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali, and others representing KKR, alongside familiar faces in the support staff like Dwayne Bravo and Shane Watson. CSK won all three contests in 2021, but since IPL 2022, the head-to-head stands evenly poised at 33, with both teams sharing the spoils. With both of them currently near the bottom of the table, this clash is not just about points, but also about gaining the upper hand in an evenly matched rivalry in recent years. Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings (April 16) This fixture is often remembered for the iconic double Super Over clash in the 2020 edition. There have been several notable overlaps between the two sides over the years, from Yuvraj Singh and Shikhar Dhawan to Axar Patel, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik and more recently Nehal Wadhera. One name that adds an interesting layer is Shreyas Iyer, a Mumbaikar, closely tied to both Mumbai as a city and PBKS as a side. While he has never represented MI in the TATA IPL, his impact for PBKS last season was significant, playing a key role in knocking out the five-time champions. With the head-to-head evenly poised at 17-17, this clash on April 16 promises another gripping chapter. Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals (April 18) From growing up as a West Delhi boy to now becoming the face of RCB, this fixture evolved into a rivalry with Virat Kohli at the heart of it for his connections between both cities. But last season added a new layer: KL Rahul with that Kantara celebration, marking his territory at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, injected fresh intensity into the rivalry. Both teams have consistently featured in the top half of the table in recent years, leading to closely fought contests. RCB hold a 20-12 head-to-head advantage, but with the clash being in Bengaluru first up, Rahul will once again be under the spotlight. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings (April 18) Also Read: Live Cricket Score This Southern Rivalry traces back to the 2018 final, where CSK outclassed SRH to lift the title. However, in recent seasons, the tide seems to have turned. While CSK are navigating a transition phase, SRH have emerged as one of the most explosive sides, powered by a fearless batting unit. CSK still hold a commanding 157 head-to-head advantage, but SRH have won the last two encounters. Over the last four seasons, its a deadlock at three wins and three losses against each other. On current form, CSK will need to raise their game to counter SRHs high-powered batting, especially on a typically flat Hyderabad surface.

IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch CSK Vs DC, Know All Details
Chennai Super Kings: Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will clash with Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 18 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 to be played at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday as they look to end the quest for their first win in this season. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have had a poor start to their campaign this season, with the five-time champions still searching for their first win after losing all three matches so far. Their run began with a defeat to the Rajasthan Royals, followed by another setback against the Punjab Kings. In their latest outing, they were comfortably beaten by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). With pressure mounting, CSK will be eager to bounce back and finally get off the mark in front of their home fans. In contrast, the Delhi Capitals have looked like a composed and well-rounded side in IPL 2026. They kicked off their season with back-to-back victories over Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians, impressing with both their strong batting lineup and disciplined bowling attack. However, their winning momentum was halted in their previous match, where they fell agonisingly short, losing by just one run to the Gujarat Titans. The head-to-head record between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals in T20 matches shows a clear edge for CSK. Out of 31 matches played between the two sides, Chennai Super Kings have won 19, while Delhi Capitals have secured 12 victories. There have been no tied matches or no results in their encounters. The rivalry began on May 2, 2008, with Delhi Capitals winning the first-ever fixture, and in their most recent meeting on April 5, 2025, Delhi Capitals emerged victorious. When: Saturday, April 11, 7:30 PM IST Where: M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai Where to watch: The CSK vs DC match will be broadcast on Star Sports channels, with JioHotstar live-streaming the game.
