IPL 2026: KKR Rope In Luvnith Sisodia As Replacement For Injured Matheesha Pathirana

Kolkata Knight Riders: Three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have signed wicketkeeperbatter Luvnith Sisodia as a replacement for injured Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana for the remainder of IPL 2026. Sisodia, who represents Karnataka in domestic cricket, has previously featured for the franchise and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL. The 25yearold has played 15 T20s, scoring 124 runs, and joins the franchise for Rs 30 lakh. The addition of Sisodia bolsters KKRs squad depth, especially with Angkrish Raghuvanshi ruled out due to concussion and finger fracture. Pathirana, bought for an astonishing Rs 18 crore at the auction, has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury after bowling just 1.2 overs on his KKR debut against Gujarat Titans on May 16, where he was introduced into the game as an Impact Player. He missed the sides win over Mumbai Indians on May 20 and will not recover in time for KKRs final league fixture against Delhi Capitals, to be played at the Eden Gardens on Sunday evening. Pathiranas IPL 2026 stint was delayed due to recurring fitness concerns. In the 2026 Mens T20 World Cup, Pathirana had to abandon his spell midway against Australia and subsequently missed the remainder of the tournament. For his IPL 2026 participation, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) insisted on Pathirana going through a fitness clearance test on recovering from a calf injury before issuing a noobjection certificate (NOC). The approval came only after four matches of KKRs campaign happened, a phase in which the franchise had lost all their games. He missed the sides win over Mumbai Indians on May 20 and will not recover in time for KKRs final league fixture against Delhi Capitals, to be played at the Eden Gardens on Sunday evening. Pathiranas IPL 2026 stint was delayed due to recurring fitness concerns. In the 2026 Mens T20 World Cup, Pathirana had to abandon his spell midway against Australia and subsequently missed the remainder of the tournament. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The equation is straightforward but daunting for KKR they must not only defeat Delhi Capitals but also secure a victory by a heavy margin to surpass PBKS on NRR. KKRs record at Eden Gardens this season stands at three wins from five matches, including a 29run victory over GT after posting 247 and a successful chase of 148 against MI. Article Source: IANS

Yash Raj Punja: Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to bowl first in their last league match of the season, which is a must-win clash for their opponents, Rajasthan Royals, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. It is the only day game of the season at the Wankhede, which is being played in quite hot and humid conditions, making it a challenging affair for the players. MI rested seasoned pacer Jasprit Bumrah, bringing in Deepak Chahar into the playing XI. Rajasthan Royals made three changes with skipper Riyan Parag, Nandre Burger, and Ravindra Jadeja coming in. MI captain Hardik Pandya said the conditions were the reason he opted to bowl first. When we have played in the afternoon, it (the pitch) tends to get better in the afternoon, said Pandya at the toss. Looks like a good track. It's hard. Will mostly play like this. Once the sun goes down, it's slightly better. Just want to come out there and give our best shot. We have had a tough season, he added. With the Rajasthan Royals needing to win this match to secure the fourth spot in the playoffs, captain Parag said they will give their best in the must-win match as they trail the Punjab Kings by one point. Would have done the same thing. Could be the last game of the season. We'll play like it. All the prep and energy that went into the tournament...

Saba Karim Compares Shreyas Century To petrichor After PBKS Crucial Victory

Lucknow Super Giants: Saba Karim showered praise on Shreyas Iyer after the Punjab Kings captain produced a stunning unbeaten century to revive his sides playoff hopes in the IPL 2026, calling his maiden ton similar to 'petrichor'. Iyers unbeaten 101 off 51 balls led Punjab to a seven-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Saturday, ending PBKS six-match losing streak and keeping their playoff hopes alive. Coming in when Punjab was struggling at 22/2 chasing 197, Iyer steadied the innings and then aggressively dismantled the bowling attack with a strategic approach. Karim described the innings as one that arrived at the perfect moment for Punjab and their supporters after weeks of frustration. I was trying to find the right word to describe this innings, and the one that came to mind was petrichor, the scent of raindrops on dry land. That is what this innings would have felt like for Punjab Kings and their fans, Karim told JioStar. According to Karim, the innings stood out not just for the strokeplay, but for the maturity and awareness Iyer showed throughout the chase. The captain had to step up at a crucial stage of the tournament, and he found the perfect platform to deliver. There was aggression but also control. There was intent, but at the same time, a clear understanding of the match situation, he said. Iyers century, the first of his IPL career, came in a high-pressure contest with Punjab needing victory to keep their campaign alive. Karim felt the context elevated the knock into one of the finest innings of the batters career. The manner in which he constructed the innings was extremely impressive. He has scored centuries before, but this could well be one of the finest knocks of his career because of the context and the quality of execution. It was an almost flawless innings from Shreyas Iyer, Karim stated. Punjabs playoff hopes, however, still hinge on other results, including Sundays crucial clash between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium. Rajasthan need a victory to knock Punjab out of contention, while Mumbai are aiming to strengthen their own position in the top four race. Previewing the contest, Karim said Rajasthan would take confidence from their recent performances heading into the high-pressure fixture. It is a massive game for Rajasthan Royals, but the way they played in the previous match should give them a lot of confidence heading into this encounter against Mumbai Indians, he mentioned.

'It'd Been Almost A Month Since We Last Won A Game': Chahal Expresses Relief After PBKS Keep Playoff Hopes Alive

Lucknow Super Giants: Punjab Kings spinner Yuzvendra Chahal admitted relief was the overriding emotion after his side snapped a six-match losing streak with a crucial seven-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants to stay alive in the IPL 2026 playoff race. Powered by skipper Shreyas Iyers unbeaten 101 off 51 balls and a 140-run partnership with Prabhsimran Singh, Punjab chased down 197 in just 18 overs at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Saturday to climb to fourth on the table. The result ended a difficult stretch for Punjab, who had won six of their opening seven games before suffering six consecutive defeats that pushed their campaign to the brink. Reflecting on finally returning to winning ways after nearly a month, Chahal said the biggest challenge during the slump was maintaining belief within the group. When you win six of your first seven matches and then go on to lose the next six, after a point, theres nothing left to say. How you keep the team together and the environment close-knit becomes key. So, there were never any negative thoughts. Even during practice, the focus was on ourselves and how we could get those two points because it had been almost a month since we last won a game. So, this win feels special, Chahal said on JioHotstar after the game. Punjabs playoff hopes, however, still depend on other results. They now need the Mumbai Indians to beat Rajasthan Royals on Sunday to remain in contention, while Kolkata Knight Riders can still overtake them on net run-rate with a massive win over Delhi Capitals. Chahal, though, joked about temporarily switching allegiances for Sundays clash at the Wankhede Stadium. We will be in Lucknow only. Hopefully, RR lose tomorrow and Rohit Sharma scores 200 directly, its been a long time, he said. The leg-spinner then turned serious while analysing the playoff permutations and Mumbais chances against Rajasthan. But on a serious note, I think our chances depend more on the day game because KKR might have to chase down a total in 11-12 overs, which can be a bit difficult. Its Wankhede, a small ground, so if they get Vaibhav out cheaply, I think Mumbai Indians chances of winning will be high, the spinner stated. Chahal also offered an insight into the growing difficulties faced by bowlers in modern T20 cricket, pointing to flatter pitches, aggressive batting approaches and the Impact Player rule as factors that have shifted the balance heavily in favour of batters. Earlier, you used to get a little bit of turn and assistance from the wickets, but in the last two years, I dont think the wickets have offered much help. Maybe apart from Hyderabad, where I got it to grip a bit because it was slow and the boundaries were big. But apart from that, every ground seems to be flat, he mentioned. According to Chahal, the rise in scoring rates has fundamentally changed the way bowlers approach games as he said, Earlier, teams were okay with a 50-run powerplay, but these days, 65-70 has become the norm. That means when I come on to bowl, Im often bowling to a set batter already on 40 or 50, and then theres an extra batter to counter because of the Impact Player rule. So, as a bowler, you are under immense pressure. Even when a team is six or seven wickets down, you know there are still batters to come. So, it is challenging. Earlier, you used to get a little bit of turn and assistance from the wickets, but in the last two years, I dont think the wickets have offered much help. Maybe apart from Hyderabad, where I got it to grip a bit because it was slow and the boundaries were big. But apart from that, every ground seems to be flat, he mentioned. Also Read: Live Cricket Score But I still feel that if you have skill, you can bowl well. Because of these high scores, if a bowler goes for 40 in four overs, its not considered bad these days, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

I Want India To Be The Powerhouse Of World Cricket, And It Is Right Up There: Rohit Sharma

U19 World Cup: Nearly 20 years into his international career, former India skipper Rohit Sharma believes Indian cricket is moving in the right direction, both in terms of results and mindset and stated that he wants India to be the best in world cricket and its ight up there. For Rohit, Indias recent success across formats and age-group tournaments is a sign of the growing strength of the countrys cricketing structure. I want India to be the powerhouse of world cricketthat is the bottom line as I want India to be the best and cricket is right up there. What we have done in the last three years has been superb to watch. From the 2024 World Cup, Womens World Cup, U19 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and another T20 World Cup. I hope we continue our winning streak, Rohit said while speaking at Mumbai Indians ESA Day event. Rohit also pointed to the dramatic transformation in the sport over the years, particularly in the shorter formats, where batting approaches and scoring patterns have changed significantly since his debut. When we started 130-140 was a good score but currently it is difficult. Now, any score one gets does not seem to be very convincing. That is the story which tells you how the game has gone about through the years, he said. According to the former MI captain, the fearlessness shown by modern-day cricketers has pushed the sport to greater heights. People have become more fearless, open minded on how they should go about doing things, which is a good sign for the sport, game and league. The players are not afraid to take a step forward rather than being conservative. In the coming years too, that is how it will keep going, it will reach greater heights, he expressed. While discussing the next generation of cricketers, Rohit stressed the importance of allowing youngsters to enjoy the game without burdening them with expectations too early in life. It depends from age to age. I know there are kids ranging from six years to 18 years. You do not want to put too much pressure on the kid so early on in their life. They should just be enjoying the sport, watching and playing with their friends. That is how it all started for me. The situation will tell you what is important at this point of time. Enjoy the sport that you want to play. No one can force you to do something, the ODI opener said. Reflecting on his own journey, the opener admitted that the challenges and setbacks he encountered throughout his career were among his biggest learning experiences. From my debut till now, there have been so many instances where I got to learn if I have to come up from here then what needs to be done. In sport, there is no smooth ride, along with upwards, there is also a downhill which teaches you many things, he stated. The 39-year-old also opened up about how captaincy shaped his outlook, saying that leadership forced him to think beyond his own performances and prioritise the team's collective success.

When rain fell on Royal Springs, Vicky Shaw chose Shalimar

Srinagar, May 23: The rain had just begun to settle over the emerald greens of Royal Springs Golf Course when Vicky Shaw took his cappuccino in hand and quietly watched golfers warm up for the WHS Sports Hub Golf Cup. At 45 years into the game, Shaw no longer rushes through tournament mornings. There is no visible anxiety, no frantic stretching, no loud team talk. Just a measured calm, the kind only decades on the golf course can teach. Work hard, play hard, he says softly, almost like a life philosophy rather than a sporting quote. For Shaw, golf has never been just a sport. It has been a lifelong companion. Long before he became Chairman of the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry Kashmir, Shaw was among the prominent faces shaping professional golf in the region and beyond. He served as Vice President and later President of the Professional Golfers Association of India for nearly a decade, helping organise junior coaching camps and tournaments across India. But on Saturday morning in Srinagar, titles mattered little. What mattered was the game, the weather, and the people beside him. His team, six golfers from different cities, some strangers until this tournament, had spent the previous evening discussing something as simple as a team name on WhatsApp. I suggested two names, Chinar and Shalimar, Shaw said with a smile. Shalimar clicked instantly. I thought if we are playing in Kashmir, the name should reflect the beauty around us. And so Team Shalimar was born. The team, a blend of youth and experience, represented what golf often quietly creates, friendships without introductions and competition without hostility. We have youngsters in the team, and I understand their excitement because I was exactly like that once, he said. My only advice to them was, relax, enjoy the day, and put in your best effort. For Shaw, golf is as much about temperament as technique. If you are stressed, you wont play well. Golf teaches you patience. It teaches you how to stay calm, he said while glancing towards the misty fairways. Outside Kashmir, temperatures in cities like Delhi had crossed uncomfortable summer highs. But here, under cloudy skies and gentle rain, Shaw compared the atmosphere to Scotland, golfs spiritual home. The weather is absolutely marvellous. Golfers never stop, even if it rains, he laughed. His relationship with Kashmir Golf stretches back decades. A member of the Kashmir Golf Club for over 45 years, Shaw also witnessed the rise of Royal Springs Golf Course after its commissioning in 2001. He remembers when the course was recognised among Asias best soon after opening. According to him, golf has played a quiet but powerful role in Kashmirs tourism story. Golf tourists are high spenders. They travel, they stay longer, and they fall in love with Kashmir, he said. This sport is also a tourism multiplier. Watching younger organisers now take ownership of the sport gives him hope. Shaw praised the efforts of the Woodland House School promoters and WHS Sports Hub founders for bringing golfers from Mumbai, Delhi and Chandigarh to Srinagar. For him, however, the beauty of golf still lies in its simplicity. There is no other sport where you spend hours walking and talking with your partner or even your opponent, he said. That bonding is special. Soon after finishing his coffee, Shaw prepared for the tee-off. Around him, younger golfers adjusted gloves, checked clubs and discussed strategy. He remained composed. Forty-five years in golf had taught him that sometimes the best strategy is simply to breathe, enjoy the rain, and walk the course.

IPL 2026: Its My First Hundred And Came At The Right Time When The Team Needed It, Says Iyer

Lucknow Super Giants: Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer said his maiden IPL hundred came at the right time when the team needed it, as his unbeaten 101 guided the side to a sevenwicket win over Lucknow Super Giants and kept their IPL 2026 playoffs hopes alive after six successive defeats. Im ecstatic to be honest. Its my first hundred and came at the right time when the team needed it. We won eventually after six consecutive losses. Its a great positive and just hoping to support MI tomorrow, Iyer said after being named Player of the Match. The win has lifted PBKS to fourth on the points table, and their fate now hinges on the Rajasthan Royals clash with the Mumbai Indians. If RR win, Punjab are out; if MI prevail, Kolkata Knight Riders could still overtake PBKS on net run rate with a big win over the now eliminated Delhi Capitals. If all works well in their favour, PBKS will face Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Eliminator clash in New Chandigarh on Wednesday. On his batting approach, Iyer, who became the third PBKS captain to hit a century after KL Rahul and Adam Gilchrist, said, It's a surreal feeling when you finish off the game and score a century. All the batsmen dream of that. Today was one of the days when I felt super. I was in a great mindspace. I knew what I wanted, knew how the wicket was playing. Kinda reading the situation and how the wicket was playing helped me to score my runs, and the partnership was crucial. That creates the momentum in the game, and just to win it from there, I'm elated. On sharing a 140-run stand with Prabhsimran Singh, who made 69, Iyer said, I know if I give myself some time in the middle and time the ball as much as possible rather than getting on top of the ball and trying to score off a good ball. I feel it's necessary for me to stay out there as much as possible because then the runs keep coming. Prabh - the way he took on the bowlers, it takes two to tango. He seriously showed us what he's capable of. He was temperamentally active, and the communication we had in the middle was sensational. On how PBKS regrouped ahead of this clash to break a losing streak, Iyer said, We didn't say anything, just kept it simple. Rather than having meetings, putting more pressure on the boys. You kinda get lost in the previous losses when you discuss a lot. It's important that you let them be. Free flow of mind is required in crucial matches. You don't want to make them overthink in pressure situations. Today I literally told Ricky, 'let's not do any team meetings. Let's just head to the ground and do our rituals, which we've been doing consistently, and we could see the result. Iyer then praised his bowlers for pulling the game back. Elated by their performance. Even though we went 16 off the first over. Just to get the game back towards us, Azmat bowled brilliantly. The first over, which he bowled, got a wicket and saved those crucial runs. Its all about momentum in this situation, and just to get the game back, especially Yuzi, the way he came back and restricted runs. He got the crucial wicket of Rishabh Pant. Kudos to him; he leaked a lot of runs in the last game, but he showed his character. Coach Ricky Ponting lauded his captains maturity. We've done it the hard way, let's put it that way. We've done what we needed to do today. Sloppy in the field again, gave them 20 more runs than they should've got. Pretty clinical chase, especially being in trouble early. The captain he's done that all season. That's his first IPL century tonight. We'll celebrate that, and then we'll sit around and wait for those results tomorrow. There's a reason I spent as much money at the auction as I did a couple of years ago. He's a ripping guy, a very mature player now, and a very mature leader. More often than not, he keeps his emotions in check on the field. The respect he has from his players is second to none. The moment he stands in front of the group and speaks, not a single eye ball leaves a single word he says. Delighted to work with him. Really happy with the season he's had. Great to see him back in the Indian one-day team. I really think there's a bigger, brighter future for him in the Indian T20 team as well. The level of cricket we played in the first half was a level I've never seen before. And then we just made some crucial errors at different times in the last six games. Speaking about Prabhsimran, Ponting said, A terrific player. It's probably only been the last couple of years that he has realised how good he is. He and Priyansh have been outstanding for us the last couple of seasons. Seeing him play a mature innings tonight in a good run chase will do him a world of good. We'll try to get the boys together and watch it (the RR-MI game). I really think there's a bigger, brighter future for him in the Indian T20 team as well. The level of cricket we played in the first half was a level I've never seen before. And then we just made some crucial errors at different times in the last six games.

IPL 2026: Iyers Unbeaten 101 Helps PBKS Keep Playoff Hopes Alive, Beat LSG By Seven Wickets

BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium: Shreyas Iyer struck his maiden IPL century to guide Punjab Kings to a sevenwicket win over Lucknow Super Giants and break their six-game losing streak to keep their IPL 2026 playoffs hopes alive here at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium on Saturday. In response to LSGs 196/6, Punjab hunted down the target in 18 overs, with Iyer unbeaten on 101 off 51 balls, studded with 11 fours and five sixes coming at a strike-rate of 198.04. Apart from wowing the crowd with his sublime timing, strong pick-up of deliveries and bottom-handed shots, Iyer also shared a crucial 140-run stand with Prabhsimran Singh, who hit 69 off 39 balls. The win has lifted PBKS to fourth on the points table, and their fate now hinges on the Rajasthan Royals clash with the Mumbai Indians. If RR win, Punjab are out; if MI prevail, Kolkata Knight Riders could still overtake PBKS on net run rate with a big win over the now eliminated Delhi Capitals. If all works well in their favour, PBKS will face Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Eliminator clash in New Chandigarh on Wednesday. The chase began dramatically as Priyansh Arya fell first ball to Mohammed Shami, caught on the pull for a golden duck. Cooper Connolly counterattacked with four boundaries in the second over, before being castled by Mohammed Shami and leaving PBKS at 22/2 in 2.2 overs. Iyer joined Prabhsimran and the pair steadied the innings. Iyer struck successive fours off Mohsin Khan and Shami, while Prabhsimran found his rhythm with inventive strokes and used the bowlers pace to his advantage. The partnership blossomed after Power-play as Prabhsimran dropped on 20 by Pant off Arjun Tendulkar, and got his fifty in 28 balls. Iyer, meanwhile, cut and drove with authority to get his fifty in 33 balls. The boundaries flowed freely before Arjun trapped Prabhsimran lbw for 69. But Iyer pressed on, smashing three sixes in one Shami over to all but seal the contest. Fittingly, Iyer launched a slower ball from Mohsin over cow corner to complete his maiden IPL hundred and clinch an important victory for PBKS. For Iyer, the century was a moment of relief and joy - helmet off, arms aloft, as he was embraced by teammates over ending a six-game losing streak and PBKS playoffs hopes still very much alive. Even as PBKS rejoiced in the glow of a much-needed victory in a must-win clash, LSGs tenth defeat of the season also confirmed that they will finish at the bottom of the IPL 2026 points table. Iyer, meanwhile, cut and drove with authority to get his fifty in 33 balls. The boundaries flowed freely before Arjun trapped Prabhsimran lbw for 69.
