Fielders Must Back Bowlers Who Are Under The Pump Due To Batters Attacking Hard In IPL, Says Rhodes

European T20 Premier League: Jonty Rhodes, the former South Africa fielding stalwart who is now the co-owner of the Rotterdam franchise in the European T20 Premier League (ETPL), said the Impact Player rule in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has created a relentless batting environment that leaves bowlers under the pump and that only exceptional fielding can offer them any relief. Rhodes comments come against the backdrop of a bruising IPL 2026 season for bowlers, where even ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, has been carted for huge runs and picked just two wickets in seven games. The imbalance between bat and ball has prompted growing debate about whether the tournament's playing conditions have swung too far in favour of batters, especially with the Impact Player rule in picture. I just think that the fact that the impact player rule, which has come in just means that there's an extra batter in your team and in 20 overs, if you play aggressively, you can still keep taking risks. So, yes, you can impact another bowler in, but we know that in T20 cricket, the surface is good. There's often not a lot of the bowlers, who don't often have the edge. So when you've got an extra batter in your lineup, no matter how many bowlers - you can have seven bowlers if you want. But when batters are coming at you from ball one and throughout that middle period, which used to be a bit of a building period, especially if you've lost two or three wickets, you then use the sort of overs eight to 12 or 14 as a rebuilding phase and then you launch for the last six in those death overs, Rhodes told IANS in an exclusive conversation on Thursday, facilitated by ETPL. Rhodes, who built his reputation as perhaps the finest fielder the game has seen during his international career, where he played 52 Tests and 254 ODIs, and later was in coaching staff of Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants, stated the burden on fielders to compensate for the bowlers being carted for runs had never been greater. But I think from a perspective of having that impact player, it means that the batters just keep coming at you ball after ball after ball. So, you don't necessarily see it outside the IPL without the impact player rule. But from the start, you really have to be on with your fielding because that one run could make a difference. You need to assist your bowlers and that spectacular catch or a brilliant run-out in the field, that really could be the difference between a team because taking wickets is difficult enough. If you can do something spectacular in the field and assist the bowlers, that often is the difference between winning and losing, he added. Rhodes also noted that tournaments operating without the Impact Player rule, including the European T20 Premier League, will aim to present a more balanced contest, thanks to all-rounders regaining their value and batting depth naturally curtailed.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score Plus there's one batter short, so it does even the contest slightly. But you're right - I mean, if the batters are dominating, there's going to have to be a big focus on the fielders backing up their bowlers, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

Required Rate Not Getting Out Of Control Was The Real Beauty Of SRH's Chase: Chawla

New Delhi: Former India spinner Piyush Chawla credited Sunrisers Hyderabad batters for executing a near-perfect run chase against Mumbai Indians, highlighting that at no point their asking run rate spiralled out of control. Chasing a daunting 244 at the Wankhede Stadium, SRH produced one of the most dominant batting performances of the season, with their top order setting the tone early and the middle order ensuring there were no stumbles along the way. You have to give full credit to the batters. We know that teams like Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad are capable of chasing such totals, and they showed that again. They came out with clear intent in the Powerplay and, importantly, didnt lose a wicket. They even put pressure on Jasprit Bumrah early, taking nearly 30 runs off his first two overs. After that, the rest of the batters contributed well. At no stage did the required rate get out of control. In fact, it stayed below the asking rate for most of the innings. That was the real beauty of this chase, Chawla told JioStar. The foundation of the chase was laid by the openers, with Travis Head playing a key role through a brisk half-century that put Mumbais bowlers under immediate pressure.

Were All Again Going To Be Singing 'Bumrah, Bumrah'; Let's Cut Him A Little Slack: Pollard

Indian Premier League: Mumbai Indians batting coach Kieron Pollard has thrown his support behind pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, urging critics to show patience despite the pacers modest returns in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026 season. The remarks came after the Mumbai Indians suffered a heavy six-wicket defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad, where even a daunting total of 243 proved insufficient. Bumrah, one of the sides key bowlers, has managed just two wickets in eight matches so far, though he continues to maintain the best economy rate among MI bowlers. Addressing questions around Bumrahs form, Pollard defended the Indian pacer and highlighted the pressures faced by players performing under constant scrutiny. We are unfortunate, you know, to always be in the public eye. So when we do bad, it's always being highlighted. But when normal people have jobs and they send the wrong email, they have the opportunity to edit the words and all these things. We don't have the opportunity. So it's fair and fine when you're not doing well, you accept certain things. And knowing the individual, I know he's going to bounce back with greater heights and take wickets, Pollard said in the post-match press conference. And we are all, again, going to be singing 'Bumrah, Bumrah', not only for Mumbai Indians, but for India. So, again, let's cut him a little slack, he stated. Pollard also reflected on Mumbais overall campaign, admitting that inconsistency across departments has hurt their chances this season. With just two wins from eight matches, the five-time champions currently find themselves in the lower half of the table. It has not been as consistent as we would have hoped and, again, the results are showing. So it's something that you can't shy away from. You can sit and you can try to pinpoint every little aspect of it, but, again, collectively, I think we have not been good enough, Pollard said. Despite the setbacks, Pollard maintained that the team has not lost belief and remains determined to turn things around in the remainder of the tournament.

IPL 2026: MI Dont Know Which Way To Go; Theyve Faltered Scoring First & Chasing, Says Aakash Chopra

Aakash Chopra: Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes the Mumbai Indians are grappling with an identity crisis in the ongoing IPL 2026 season, having struggled to find consistency both while setting targets and chasing them. Mumbais woes were highlighted once again in their recent defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad, where, despite posting a formidable 243/5 on the board, they were unable to defend the total as SRH chased it down comfortably. The loss came shortly after another disappointing outing in which Mumbai failed to chase a modest target, exposing vulnerabilities in both approaches. Chopra pointed out that such contrasting failures have left the team uncertain about their preferred strategy, especially as their batting unit has not been delivering consistently. There will be a bit of an identity crisis because, the other day, when they were asked to chase down a total, they couldnt. They were actually dismissed for under 120. So, that is when they realised, Maybe, we are not really good at chasing, our batting is not clicking. Lets bat first. Then you score 243 and get it chased down in 18.4 overs with Jasprit Bumrah on your side. It is unimaginable that 240-odd can be chased down with this much ease when you have a genius like Bumrah. So, right now, I dont know if they actually know which way to go. Can they score first or chase? Both ways, they've faltered, Chopra told JioStar.

'When He Wants To Pull The Trigger, Hes Able To Hit The Ball Anywhere': Steyn Lauds Klaasen's Blitzkrieg Vs MI

Former South Africa: Former South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn heaped praise on Sunrisers Hyderabads middle-order batter Heinrich Klaasen for his scintillating knock against Mumbai Indians and pointed out that the batter is still right up there as an Orange Cap contender despite coming out to bat in the middle order. After openers Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head added 129 runs for the frist wicket, Klaasen thrashed an unbeaten 65 off 30, while Salil Arora smoked 30 not out off ten balls to hand SRH the fourth-highest successful chase in the IPL and their fifth straight win of the season. Steyn pointed out that Klaasens numbers are even more impressive considering he does not open the batting and often comes in after the top order has already faced a significant portion of the innings. The numbers are just insane because hes competing with the guys at the top of the order, the opening batters. If you look at the opening batters from Sunrisers Hyderabad in particular, they get off to incredible starts and do the bulk of the run-scoring. He comes out later and yet; hes still right up there as an Orange Cap contender. Its an exceptional effort by him, Steyn told JioStar. Every time he comes out, he looks in total control. He looks steady, hits the ball down the ground nicely, and gets himself in. When he wants to pull the trigger, hes able to hit the ball anywhere. That six where he went reverse off the spinner, how? He just pulls it out in the middle of a game. Incredible hand-eye coordination, skill, and then obviously, the mental side to back his ability to do it under pressure, he added. Klaasens ability to accelerate at will and maintain composure under pressure has been central to Hyderabads strong performances this season, particularly in high-stakes run chases, where his finishing has stood out.

SA Cricket Should Ask Klaasen If He Can Rejoin International Cricket: Pietersen

ODI World Cup: Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen reserved special praise for Heinrich Klaasen after the 34-year-old batter's 65-run innings, which helped Sunrisers Hyderabad's win over Mumbai Indians, saying the South Africa cricket board should ask Klassen to join the national team for the ODI World Cup in 2027. After Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma gave SRH a flying start in their chase of 244, Klaasen, the highest run-scorer of the season from the batting position number four and onwards, contributed 65 off just 30, laced with seven boundaries and four maximums, as SRH raced to a finish with eight balls to spare. There should be a phone call this morning from the South African cricket board to Heinrich Klaasen to ask him if he can rejoin international cricket and be a central figure in their campaign to try and win their first ever World Cup, which will be in South Africa next year, Pietersen said in an X post.

'Its A Hard Competition To Be In; Were In A Good Space,' Says Head After SRHs Record Chase Against MI

New Delhi: Travis Head credited a collective batting effort and strong partnerships after Sunrisers Hyderabad pulled off a record-breaking chase to defeat Mumbai Indians by six wickets in their recently concluded IPL 2026 clash at the Wankhede Stadium. The Australian power-hitter also acknowledged that the tournament is a tough one to compete in but the team is in a good space. Chasing a daunting 244, SRH produced a fearless batting display led by Head, Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen, with the latter finishing unbeaten to seal the highest-ever successful run chase at the venue. Head, who set the tone early with a brisk 76, said contributing to the teams success in a demanding tournament like the IPL was particularly satisfying. Its nice to contribute. Two wins on the road are obviously really important as well. Its not often you win five games in a row in the IPL. So, were in a good space. Its a hard competition to be in. When its your night, its your night. Youre not expected to score runs every game and win games every time. If you can win two or three games in this competition by yourself, you go a long way towards getting seven to eight wins and playing in the Playoffs. Abhi (Abhishek Sharma) has done that a couple of times, Ishan and Klaasen have been incredible, and our bowlers have been good, Travid told JioStar. The chase was built on an explosive opening stand, with Head and Abhishek taking the attack to the Mumbai bowlers during the powerplay and putting the hosts under immediate pressure. Their aggressive approach ensured SRH raced ahead of the required rate despite the steep target. Speaking about his understanding with Abhishek, Head highlighted the youngsters exceptional ability against spin and the clarity in their roles at the top. I know that if spin comes on, I just give him the strike. I probably havent played with a better spin-hitting batter ever. I think hes one of the best Ive ever seen in terms of ball-striking against spin. I know in the Powerplay, we saw again in this game that teams have started to go off pace against us. So, its about getting him on strike and watching him go about his work. He puts teams under immense pressure. Its a great partnership; we dont have to talk too much, the Aussie added. Speaking about his understanding with Abhishek, Head highlighted the youngsters exceptional ability against spin and the clarity in their roles at the top.
