IPL 2026: Star-studded Top Order, Pacers' Long-term Fitness A Worry For Pant-led LSG
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) enter their fifth Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season with a grand makeover a logo change, jersey colours and design refurbished, and support staff having fresh faces in Bharat Arun, Carl Crowe, and Tom Moody. Having reached the playoffs in each of their first two years before back-to-back seventh-place finishes, LSG responded with an aggressive off-season strategy -- trading in Mohammad Shami, acquiring Anrich Nortje at auction, and reinforcing an overseas batting core, apart from their injury-hit Indian pacers now fully fit to fire. IANS explores whether those moves are enough for Rishabh Pant-led LSG to reverse a slide that has grown increasingly difficult to explain through a SWOT analysis:- Strength: The most compelling strength of LSG is at the top of the batting order. The troika of Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, and Nicholas Pooran gives the franchise a top-three combination that is, by any measure, among the most formidable in the league. All three batters went past the 400-run mark in IPL 2025, and against any bowling attack and on any surface, they have the class and elegance to construct and accelerate an innings from the first ball. If Pooran is placed at four for Pant to be accommodated at three, still expect him to bring adequate fireworks with the bat. The pace bowling stocks, which were a source of genuine anxiety in 2025, have been reinforced substantially. Shami is among the most accomplished powerplay and death-over operators the format has seen, and his vast experience of reading conditions and adjusting plans mid-innings is a tactical resource that most franchises cannot match. Alongside him, Nortje brings raw pace and the capacity to make the ball do things. At the back end of the innings, LSG carry proven finishing ability in the domestic ranks via Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad, who come into the competition on the back of great form. Weakness: While the top three of Markram, Marsh, and Pooran had a merry run, the Indian middle order from positions four to seven was a serious liability for LSG in 2025. Though the players in that position are coming in form, in a league where the middle overs are increasingly decisive, that is an area opponents will be quick to identify and ruthlessly exploit. The franchise's relationship with their home ground is also complicated. At the BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, LSG have won only 9 of 21 matches on their own turf, and the 2025 campaign was even bleaker, with just 2 wins from 7 home fixtures. With LSG not having a fortress that every franchise aspires to build, it is very much a weak link for them if they dont get the balance right. Opportunity: Captain Pant is the most expensive player in IPL history, and he would be keen to bounce back in 2026 after having a forgettable 2025. The wicketkeeper-batter, whose dynamism and instinct at the crease once made him one of the most feared middle-order players in T20 cricket, averaged just 13.7 at a strike rate of 105 in 2025. Add to it, Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson have left him behind in the race of being the top-choice keeper-batters in the Indian set-up. How Pant, who also had a training session under Yuvraj Singh in Mumbai, responds in 2026 will shape not only the confidence of those batting around him, but also his T20 career. Mukul Choudhary enters the season with extraordinary momentum from the domestic circuit, having struck at 199 in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. His form offers LSG a domestic option capable of injecting momentum into the innings. If Mayank Yadav is fit and firing for the entire season, after making a successful return to action for India A in T20 World Cup warm-up games, it would transform LSG's bowling attack from strong on paper to genuinely fearsome. Mukul Choudhary enters the season with extraordinary momentum from the domestic circuit, having struck at 199 in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. His form offers LSG a domestic option capable of injecting momentum into the innings. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The probability that all five complete a full and uninterrupted IPL campaign is uncertain, and the absence of any of them simultaneously would leave the bowling attack weak. With Nortje, Marsh, Markram, and Pooran all demanding inclusion on their individual merits, the decision of where Wanindu Hasaranga (if fit) is slotted will become a huge problem for LSG.

Whatever they instruct us, we make sure that we implement it, Naik told reporters on the sidelines of a felicitation event of MCA at the Khar Gymkhana on Thursday. Mumbai will get to host the third India-Zimbabwe mens ODI on January 9, 2027, and asked specifically about not getting a marquee Test, Naik said decisions like that are outside his remit. I can speak on MCA. Whatever decision we have to take as the Apex Council, we make sure we do it in MCA. Related to BCCI, you have to ask the BCCI office where an Apex Council member is. I can't answer that. Mumbai will get to host the third India-Zimbabwe mens ODI on January 9, 2027, and asked specifically about not getting a marquee Test, Naik said decisions like that are outside his remit.

IPL 2026: I Don't Have Anything To Prove In This Season, Particularly, Says Shubman Gill
Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill said he feels no pressure to prove himself in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season, adding that his focus is on making his team win another title this year rather than chasing personal milestones. Gill, Indias captain in Tests and ODIs, was left out of the T20I team to make room for Sanju Samson in the top order. It proved to be a move that paid off really well as India claimed a record third Mens T20 World Cup title at the Narendra Modi Stadium earlier this month. Not at all. I think, if you look at the past three or four seasons, I have the most runs in IPL. So, I don't think I have anything to prove, in this season particularly. The four years that I've played for this team, I think we have done decently well as a team, and I think I've done decently well as a batsman. So, I don't think I need to prove my worth to anyone. I think I need to do what I've been doing for the past four years. As a team, we need to be consistent, which I think we have been. If we continue doing that, sooner or later, I think we will win that trophy once more, said Gill, who became GTs captain in IPL 2024, in a pre-season press conference on Thursday. The right-handed batter also voiced his opinion against the Impact Player rule, saying that it is making the game one-dimensional. Gills words come just a day after he attended the IPL captains and managers meeting in Mumbai, where it was announced that the Impact Player rule will remain till the 2027 season. Personally, for me, I don't think there should be an Impact Player rule. I think cricket in general is an 11-player game, and on the wickets and grounds that we play, adding an extra batter takes the skill out of the game. There is a certain skill in the game that you need to have, and when you know when you have a certain number of batters and if a couple of your batters get out, there is a certain amount of skill that you need to have to still get the scoreboard moving and get your team to a good score. I think with that one extra player, it's making the game more one-dimensional, and it's taking a little bit of the skill out of the game. Chasing 180 or 160 on a challenging wicket is, for me personally, way more exciting than chasing 220 on a flat wicket. So, I mean, it's gonna be there till 2027 -- it's something that we also spoke about in the captain's meeting yesterday. I understand it makes the game a bit more entertaining, but let's see if it's up to them and what the BCCI is going to take a decision on this. But personally, I don't like it that much, he elaborated. Gill signed off by reiterating that personal goals are never a priority for him in terms of targets in the immediate future, whether hes turning out for GT or India. Honestly, I am not the one to look too much into personal goals, whatever team I am playing for, whether it be for my country or for Gujarat. So, I mean, it's gonna be there till 2027 -- it's something that we also spoke about in the captain's meeting yesterday. I understand it makes the game a bit more entertaining, but let's see if it's up to them and what the BCCI is going to take a decision on this. But personally, I don't like it that much, he elaborated. Also Read: Live Cricket Score If you are playing a series, you are looking to beat the other teams in the series, so those are the goals that I look forward to, and I don't really have my personal goals. Like right now, its obvious to win the IPL. Once that ends, obviously, we are going to have some other tournaments within the team. So my personal goals would change into that, and that's how I like to look at my goals. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: 'Cant Be Just An Impact Player', Says Kaif As He Urges MI To Fully Utilise Rohit Sharma
Indian Premier League: Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif believes that Rohit Sharma should remain on the field for the entire duration of a T20 match instead of being used as an Impact Player by the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Rohit, who tops the list of batters with most runs for MI in IPL history, was often used as an Impact Player in the last season, which, according to Kaif, was wrong as Hardik needed his help, especially during the second qualifier played against Punjab Kings, which the Mumbai Indians lost after a brilliant knock by Shreyas Iyer. In a tweet posted by Kaif on Thursday, he stated that MI should fully utilise the fully fit Rohit, and he cant be just an Impact Player. Kaif feels the MI will need the five-time IPL-winning captain in crunch situations, and his presence on the field will also help skipper Hardik Pandya. Mumbai Indians should fully utilise the fitter and learner Rohit Sharma. He cant be just an impact player; MI will need him in crunch situations. Also, his inputs to captain Hardik Pandya will be precious. Last year in Qualifier 2 against Kings XI, when Shreyas Iyer was hitting, Hardik needed Rohit next to him. Full involvement in the game will help Rohit the batter, too, Kaif wrote in a tweet on X.

IPL 2026: Players Returning After Missing 2025 Season
The Indian Premier League: The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been pivotal in transforming modern franchise cricket, influencing not only India but also the international scene. Besides its commercial achievements, it serves as a significant platform for showcasing new talent, enhancing the reputation of domestic players, and making many of them well-known worldwide. Every season, a few high-profile players are absent due to injuries or dips in form. This year, too, many players have been ruled out before the start of the tournament, due to injury or availability concerns, forcing the franchises to look for replacements. But several players will be returning to the high-intense setup after having missed the previous edition. With this in mind, here are five players who missed IPL 2025 but are expected to return in the 2026 tournament, which starts on Saturday. Cameron Green (Kolkata Knight Riders) Fast-bowling all-rounders continue to be among the most sought-after assets in the IPL, and this season marks the return of one of Australias finest, Cameron Green. After missing the previous edition due to a back injury, Green is back in the spotlight as the most expensive overseas signing in IPL history, having been bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for a staggering Rs. 25.20 crore. Green made his IPL debut with the Mumbai Indians in 2023, playing a key role in their playoff run. He scored 452 runs across 16 matches at an impressive strike rate of 160.28, highlighted by a commanding unbeaten century against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final league match at the Wankhede Stadium. He followed that with another strong season at Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2024, further cementing his reputation as a dependable performer in the league. However, injury concerns kept him out of the 2025 campaign, and he did not participate in that years mega auction. Now 26, Green joins Eden Gardens as a marquee signing for Kolkata, with high expectations despite a tough recent Ashes series. His return not only bolsters KKRs squad but also provides a potential game-changer capable of affecting matches with both bat and ball. Sarfaraz Khan (Chennai Super Kings) Sarfaraz Khan's career has been marked by sharp turns, from early promise to times on the fringes. He first gained notice during his stint with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where his performances were good enough to secure retention ahead of the 2018 mega-auction. However, maintaining consistency proved difficult in the following years, and subsequent spells with Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Capitals did little to secure his place, ultimately leading to his release before the 2024 season and a couple of years without an IPL contract. Despite his absence from the league, Sarfaraz continued to build an impressive reputation in domestic cricket. His outstanding performance in the 202526 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy highlighted his T20 skills, as he scored 329 runs at an average of 65.20 and an exceptional strike rate of 203.8. A blazing 73 off just 22 balls on the morning of the auction further emphasised his value. Those performances earned him a return to the IPL, with Chennai Super Kings securing his services for Rs. 75 lakh. While competition for places in a crowded batting line-up may limit immediate opportunities, conditions at Chepauk could play to his strengths against spin, and his inventive strokeplay adds depth to the side. Having already achieved a long-awaited Test debut for India before slipping out of contention again, Sarfaraz now faces another crucial moment. A strong IPL campaign could not only restore his credentials in the format but also rekindle hopes of a return to the national team. Jason Holder (Gujarat Titans) Jason Holder has long been a familiar figure in the IPL, representing multiple franchises, with his most recent appearance for the Rajasthan Royals in 2023. Despite his experience and all-round capabilities, he remained unsold in the following two seasons and instead participated in franchise cricket elsewhere, including a stint with Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League in 2025. Since then, Holder has regained strong form on the international stage, delivering impactful performances for the West Indies. He also impressed as captain of the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the Caribbean Premier League, demonstrating both leadership and consistency. His resurgence did not go unnoticed, as the Gujarat Titans secured his services for Rs. 7 crore ahead of the 2026 season. Backed by a strong performance in the recent World Cup, Holder now returns to the IPL with renewed energy and the potential to play a vital all-round role for the Titans. Prithvi Shaw (Delhi Capitals) Prithvi Shaw burst onto the IPL scene as an exciting teenager in 2018, showcasing his attacking flair while representing Delhi Daredevils. He soon became a key figure in the sides resurgence after they transitioned into the Delhi Capitals, with his rise reflected in his rapid elevation to Indias national team across formats. However, that early momentum proved difficult to maintain. A prolonged decline in form, combined with fitness and discipline issues, caused Shaw to fall out of favour. After two disappointing IPL seasons, Delhi released him, and his struggles worsened when he lost his place in Mumbais domestic team. A fresh start with Maharashtra seems to have reignited his game. Consistent performances across formats in domestic cricket signal a return to form, prompting Delhi Capitals to re-sign him for Rs. 75 lakh ahead of the 2026 season. Returning to a franchise where he previously thrived, forming effective opening partnerships with players like Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner, Shaw now has an opportunity to rebuild his reputation. At 26, he faces a pivotal moment. A successful run at the top of the order could signal a major resurgence, potentially realigning his career and sparking renewed debates about his role in Indian cricket. Umran Malik (Kolkata Knight Riders) Umran Malik made an immediate impact when he emerged for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2021, attracting attention with raw pace that often exceeded 150 kmph. His breakthrough season reached its peak in 2022, when he took 22 wickets and received a call-up to the Indian team, highlighting his potential as one of the countrys fastest bowlers. Since then, injuries have hindered his progress, affecting both his appearances and effectiveness. After being released before the 2025 auction, Malik was signed by the Kolkata Knight Riders, but another injury setback ruled him out of the season. Now fully fit and having completed a full domestic campaign with Jammu and Kashmir in the 2025 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Malik returns with renewed purpose. With Kolkatas pace attack depleted following the exits of key bowlers, he has a clear opportunity to re-establish himself. Maliks focus will now be on rediscovering the form and rhythm that once made him one of the most exciting fast-bowling prospects in the league. A strong showing this season could not only strengthen his role at KKR but also revive his chances of making a comeback to the national side. Finn Allen (Kolkata Knight Riders) Finn Allen had a quiet start to his IPL journey, spending time with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2021 and 2022 without making an appearance despite being regarded as a promising, hard-hitting opener. Finn Allen (Kolkata Knight Riders) Also Read: Live Cricket Score His rise was further cemented on the global stage when he scored a breathtaking 33-ball century against South Africa in the semi-final of the 2026 T20 World Cup, the fastest hundred in the tournaments history. Now returning to the IPL with Kolkata Knight Riders, Allen brings with him a reputation built on fearless strokeplay, and even a glimpse of that form could make him a game-changing presence this season.

The Karnataka State Cricket Association: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the schedule for senior mens international home matches for the 2026-27 season, which features an exciting, action-packed schedule with four visiting teams, West Indies, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, and Australia, across multiple formats. The Men in Blue will play 22 international matches across 17 cities, giving fans nationwide the chance to see top-tier international cricket. Notably, the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is set to host international games for the first time since October 2024, when India played New Zealand in the third Test of a five-match series. The Karnataka State Cricket Association announced on Saturday that the venue had received the governments permission to host Indian Premier League and international games. Cricket at the venue had been suspended in June 2024 following a stampede during the Royal Challengers Bengalurus (RCB) maiden title celebrations, which resulted in 11 deaths and multiple injuries. Additionally, a key highlight of the announcement is that the Barsapara Cricket Stadium (ACA Stadium) in Guwahati will host a Border-Gavaskar series Test for the first time. In November 2025, the venue hosted its first-ever red-ball game since its establishment in 2012, when South Africa toured India for a multi-format series, making the upcoming BGT Test only the second red-ball game to be played there. The season kicks off with the West Indies' tour of India (September 27 to October 17). It will include a three-match ODI series, followed by a five-match T20I series. The ODIs will be held in Trivandrum, Guwahati, and New Chandigarh, while the T20Is will take place in Lucknow, Ranchi, Indore, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru. India will host Sri Lanka for a white-ball series featuring three ODIs and three T20Is from December 13 to 27.

Last year, the BCCI initially scheduled a Test against the West Indies in Kolkata in October and another against South Africa in Delhi in November. These tests were eventually rescheduled so that Delhi could host the match before pollution levels rise around Diwali. At the beginning of the new year, Zimbabwe will visit India for a three-match ODI series from January 3 to 9, with games scheduled to take place in Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Mumbai. The season will conclude with the highly esteemed and eagerly awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia from January 21 to March 3.
