IPL 2026: 'One Bad Loss Can't Define Us', Says GT's Shahrukh After Heavy Defeat To MI
Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans batting all-rounder Shahrukh Khan said the side must treat their heavy 99-run defeat to the Mumbai Indians at the Narendra Modi Stadium as an aberration in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 campaign, adding that every team endures at least one such result over the course of a long season. GT, the IPL 2022 winners, will next take on defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday, with an aim to get back to winning ways and improve their net run rate. A major point to watch out for will be how their middle-order, including Shahrukh, will step up in the rest of the season after having a forgetful time against MI, especially with their top three batters captain Shubman Gill, B. Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler falling in the first five overs. That's the thing we have to do (set it aside and focus on upcoming games). Obviously, ups and downs in a long tournament are really normal for any team, but as professionals, it's important to set that aside and look forward to what has to be done. I think everybody is experienced enough to know it. One bad loss can't define us as a team. Everybody has that one bad loss in a long tournament. As individuals, we've set that aside and take the positives out of what happened and then move forward, said Shahrukh in an exclusive conversation with IANS on Tuesday. Last season, Shahrukh scored 179 runs at a strike rate of 179, but the lower-order hitter hasnt been off to the best of starts this year, making only 35 runs from 25 balls. At GT, Shahrukh has been deployed at various positions in the batting order number four, six, and seven, and stated he does not view his role as rigidly fixed. Obviously, my role is in the lower-middle order. But as the game progresses, it's not that somebody will bat in one particular situation. As the game progresses, everybody has to be ready to go in there and adapt to any situation and play. It's not a fixed sort of role. It's important that as middle order batters, we are really open in our head and try and go out and react to any situation that's in front of us, he said. Asked about the difference in batting across positions, particularly at number four compared to six or seven, Shahrukh acknowledged the contrasting demands of the roles, but maintained that professional adaptability was non-negotiable. It is obviously a different role altogether. I wouldn't say that this position is good or that position is good. As professionals, we must adapt to any situation, as I told you. At number four, obviously, you have the chance of taking a bit more time, probably three to four balls extra to get your eyes set in. But lower down the order, that doesn't happen. As professionals, we all know that this is the situation, and this is how it is going to be wherever we bat. Obviously, as per the amount of balls that we hit in the nets and practice, it's important that we adapt to any situation that's in front of us. Obviously, if we have a question of batting at number four or seven, it is different. But as professionals, we have to do it. We don't have any other choice here, he said. Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden has joined the Gujarat Titans as batting coach for IPL 2026, and Shahrukh shed light on the veteran's impact in the sides batting group. He has been a world-class player, obviously. Everybody looks up to him because of the power and the dominance that he showed throughout his career; whenever he batted, it was just immense. He has been really helping all batters in the nets - very simple information here and there. It's really helping batters to go out there and do what they want to. Hayden has obviously been a great influence for every batter who comes in, especially openers, because he has opened all his life, and the way he communicates stuff to the openers is brilliant, and his coming to the team has obviously gotten that. He is a guy who is always switched on, and he has got that aggression. So, it's really good to have him around, he elaborated. On his specific preparations for acing the finisher's role in the rest of the season, Shahrukh signed off by saying that hes aiming to ace two primary challenges bowlers pose at the back-end - yorkers and slower deliveries. The finisher's role is to start going from ball one, according to what the situation is put in front of you. The preparation has been very simple. Obviously, in the death overs, everybody is trying to bowl yorkers or slower balls. On his specific preparations for acing the finisher's role in the rest of the season, Shahrukh signed off by saying that hes aiming to ace two primary challenges bowlers pose at the back-end - yorkers and slower deliveries. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Obviously, yorkers are something that all bowlers go to in the death overs. So, try to dig out yorkers as much as possible at practice.

'One Of The Best Ive Seen': Jayawardene Reserves High Praise For Tilak For His Maiden IPL Ton
New Delhi: Mumbai Indians (MI) head coach Mahela Jayawardene lauded his side's all-round execution while also dubbing Tilak Varmas century one of the best that he has ever seen after their emphatic 99-run victory over Gujarat Titans (GT). Reflecting on the innings that was built around a late surge, Jayawardene admitted the side had been under pressure early on. We were in trouble, but we dug ourselves from that, (we were) patient, and batted really well to get that score, he said in a video shared by the franchise, pointing to the composure shown by the middle order after early setbacks. The turnaround was powered by a stunning counterattack, particularly from Tilak Varma, whose maiden IPL century lifted MI to a formidable total.

IPL 2026: CSK Batter Ayush Mhatre Ruled Out Due To Hamstring Injury
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) said on Tuesday that their top-order batter Ayush Mhatre had been ruled out of the remainder of the tournament after sustaining a hamstring injury during the teams recent match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The franchise said that the top-order batter will require six to 12 weeks of rehab. Ayush Mhatre has been ruled out of the remainder of IPL 2026 due to a left hamstring injury sustained while batting during the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 18. Ayush's injury will require a rehabilitation period of 6-12 weeks. We wish Ayush a speedy recovery, CSK said in a statement. After CSKs loss in the game, batting coach Michael Hussey provided an update on the top-order batter, who suffered a hamstring tear while batting against SRH on Friday (April 18), saying he didn't know the exact extent of the injury, but it definitely looks bad. Mhatre came in as an impact sub for Gurjapneet Singh in the second over of CSK's chase of 195 runs after the team lost the wicket of opener Sanju Samson. The 18-year-old looked in great touch and smashed the bowlers from the onset as he scored a quickfire 30 off 12 balls. He pulled his hamstring after the second delivery of the fifth over, trying to get back for the second run. He completed the run but sat down on the ground in pain, and the physio came running out immediately. He then opted to bat on instead of going off the field, before losing his wicket a couple of deliveries later. It's a hamstring tear. Don't know how bad it is. We'll scan him probably the next day. I'm not sure, but yes, it looks pretty bad. Unfortunately, he's going to be a big loss because he has been in nice touch for us. He is an exciting young talent, but it is going to give someone else an opportunity, so that's exciting as well. We have got some really good players that haven't got an opportunity, so it's going to be exciting for one of those guys. As much as we are really disappointed to lose Ayush, I don't know for how long, but it's exciting for a new player to come in and get a chance, Hussey had said in the post-match presser. He pulled his hamstring after the second delivery of the fifth over, trying to get back for the second run.

Tilak Needs To Be Positive Against Spinners, Should Step Out And Play His Strokes: Pujara
New Delhi: Veteran India batter Cheteshwar Pujara has called on Tilak Varma to adopt a more proactive approach against spinners, stressing that intent, rather than just shot selection, is key to succeeding in T20 cricket. Tilak has been one of the standout performers for the Mumbai Indians in the ongoing IPL 2026 season, including a recent match-winning century. However, Pujara believes there is still room for growth, particularly in how the young left-hander tackles spin bowling in the middle overs. Tilak Varma needs to be a bit more positive against spinners. I am not saying he should just go for the big shots. When you play with intent and try to be positive, the spinner is forced to change his lengths. That puts pressure on him. Pujara explained that the focus should not be limited to boundary-hitting but rather on consistently disrupting a spinners rhythm. Drawing from his own playing experience, the seasoned Test specialist highlighted the importance of understanding ones strengths and applying them against spin. Tilak can step out of the crease and can use the sweep or reverse sweep. He has many options, but first he must understand his own strength. When I played, stepping out was my strength. If a bowler tried a short ball, I would play the cut or pull on the back foot. With Tilak known for his strokeplay and adaptability, Pujara suggested that using footwork more assertively could help him dictate terms. I feel Tilak should also step out and play his strokes. That will put the spinner under pressure. His sweep shot is also good, so that is another option. The former India batter also cautioned against a purely conservative approach, noting that merely rotating the strike can allow spinners to settle into a rhythm in the shortest format. I feel Tilak should also step out and play his strokes. That will put the spinner under pressure. His sweep shot is also good, so that is another option. Also Read: Live Cricket Score As Tilak continues to evolve in the T20 format, Pujaras insights underline the importance of controlled aggression and tactical awareness, especially against spin, which often plays a decisive role in the middle phase of matches.

Bumrah Bowling The First Over Was Masterstroke: McClenaghan
After Mumbai Indians: After Mumbai Indians (MI) snapped their four-match losing streak in emphatic fashion after thrashing the Gujarat Titans (GT) by a massive 99-run margin, former cricketer Mitchell McClenaghan hailed skipper Hardik Pandya move to deploy pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah in the first over to expose GT's fragile middle order, calling it a masterstroke. In this season so far, Deepak Chahar has opened the bowling on three occasions, while Bumrah has bowled the second over and the fifth and fourth on the other occasions. After Tilak Varma's breathtaking 101 off 45 balls propelled MI to a commanding 199/5, Bumrah set the tone instantly in the defense, claiming a first-ball wicket, his first scalp of the 2026 season, to jolt the hosts' top order. Jasprit Bumrah bowling the first over of the run chase was a masterstroke. That is exactly what we have been asking for in many games now. With no other bowler in MI's lineup able to penetrate with the new ball, they needed Bumrah to be used as an attacking weapon. They used him in the first three overs to try and break the opening partnership of Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, and Bumrah delivered. GT rely heavily on their opening pair for runs, McClenaghan said on JioStar. Later, Ashwani Kumar rattled through the middle and lower order to finish with exceptional figures of 4-24 as GT were bundles out for 100.

We Couldn't Retract Negative Momentum, Got Some Work To Do: Hayden After GTs Loss To MI
Despite Tilak Varma: Gujarat Titans assistant coach Matthew Hayden admitted that the team fell well short of expectations in both departments as Mumbai Indians handed them a crushing defeat, with the former Australia opener pointing to poor execution on a surface he felt was far from a high-scoring one as he said that the 2022 champions have got some work to do. Despite Tilak Varmas stunning unbeaten century powering the Mumbai Indians to 199/5, Hayden believed the conditions at the Narendra Modi Stadium offered assistance to the bowlers and should have been managed better. Considering that performance, which, as I said, was both very average with the ball firstly, on a wicket that I really felt was probably a 175 type wicket. You know, when you look historically at this black soil pitch on No. 5, it's a 218 wicket for the lost five batters, that's been its winning first inning score, and today it wasn't that wicket, Hayden said in the press conference. It was visible that it had cracks in it, and it was up and down. So credit also has to go to Tilak Varma, who put in a wonderful performance from the position that you were just mentioning before. So we've got some work to do, definitely, he said. Tilaks counterattack proved decisive after MI were under pressure in the middle overs, with the left-hander turning the game around through an extraordinary display of power-hitting. Hayden likened the innings to a rare feat under difficult circumstances. Huge performance. I once spoke to a fisherman and asked him a question about longevity in his life and in his career, and he said, boy, when there's plenty of fish around, everyone catches fish. But what he did was that he caught fish when no one else was catching fish, Hayden said. Hayden acknowledged that his side was aware of MIs potential threat but failed to respond when it mattered most, saying, You know, Mumbai Indians, we all know that they're a dangerous side. We all know that they're notorious starters. We all know that they've got magic within that ocean that surrounds their ground there in Mumbai. And, you know, as an opposition side, we knew that, and we definitely, we blinked. And when you blink against a world-class player like Tilak Farmer, even on a wicket that's kind of spicy, that is our downfall. And we couldn't really retract the negative momentum that was going our way because of the performance that we saw at Tilak's moment. The former opener emphasised that Tilaks innings stood out for its adaptability and game awareness rather than just brute force. It wasn't just a one-dimensional performance. It wasn't a cookie-cutter-type performance. It was a dominant performance down the ground. He read the play nicely. We went into the wicket. He was able to pick up and play with power and precision. Hayden also pointed to tactical lapses, including poor shot selection and an inability to adapt to boundary dimensions as he said, And when you reflect on our own game, you know, we had one side of the ground that was a little more inaccessible than the other, and we lost, what, three wickets into the bigger side of that boundary. With Gujarat Titans now holding a 3-3 record, Hayden admitted the side has been inconsistent and failed to capitalise on a manageable chase. So Tilak, he had his day up, and he's now got Mumbai Indians in a position where they seemed like they were lacking a bit of belief, although suddenly with two younger players, they're able to beat us at home here. You know, this is a 50-50 record for us now. I think we're actually playing accordingly to that record, winning three, losing three. You know, before tonight, we won two out of the three run chases. Again, we put ourselves in the position to chase runs, Hayden stated. Hayden stressed that a target of 200 was within reach, particularly with the quality at the top of the batting order, but the early collapse derailed the effort. He said, And it wasn't an impossible total. Two hundred still is a total that I would back our three world-class players at the top of the order to etch into that a bit more and then allow our more sort of game players. An opportunity to set out their scores and back deep into the innings. Summing up the performance, Hayden conceded it was a forgettable outing for his side, with little to take away apart from one bright spot.
