IPL 2026: Thakur Doesnt Get Intimidated, Even When Batters Are Attacking, Says Pathan

Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India left-arm fast bowler Irfan Pathan praised seam-bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur for his contributions playing a vital hand in Mumbai Indians beating Kolkata Knight Riders by six wickets in IPL 2026, adding that he doesnt get intimidated, even when batters are attacking him. At the Wankhede Stadium, Thakur returned figures of 3-39 to be named player of the match as five-time champions MI got off to a winning start and broke their 14-year jinx of being winless in tournament opening games. Hes not a bowler who gets intimidated, even when batters are attacking. He keeps coming at you. What stands out is how he uses his variations. Every time he starts his run-up, hes already changing his grip, whether its for a slower ball, cross-seam, or even a scrambled seam delivery. Hes always trying to make something happen. He invites batters to go for big shots and thrives on that. He doesnt have express pace or big swing, but hes constantly experimenting, different lengths, speeds, and thats why he keeps picking up wickets, said Pathan on JioStar. He also lauded wicketkeeper-batter Ryan Rickelton for hitting a commanding 81 and sharing a 148-run opening stand with Rohit Sharma, who hit a blistering 61. Preferred ahead of his South Africa team-mate Quinton de Kock, Rickelton showcased his expansive strokeplay and clarity in targeting spinners. Ryan Rickelton was outstanding. We spoke before the game about his form being better than Quinton de Kocks, and he showed exactly why. He has a wider range, especially on the off-side. That six over cover was a special shot. His shoulder alignment allows him to access those areas consistently and play in front of the wicket with control. Against spin, he was very clear, attacking from the first ball and looking for the slog sweep. That intent worked for him, and on a pitch like Mumbai, his style of batting is ideally suited, he added. Ryan Rickelton was outstanding.

Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India spinner Anil Kumble lauded Rohit Sharma's batting show against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), where he scored the fastest fifty in IPL history, saying the opener arrived this season in his 2.0 avatar, which will be a sign of worry for other franchises in the league. Mumbai Indians ended a 13-season jinx by winning their first opening match with a clinical six-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders. Rohit played a brilliant knock of 78 off 38. He reached his fifty-run mark off 23 balls. This is his fastest half-century in IPL so far. His previous fastest was off 25 balls, which came against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 2015 final at Eden Gardens.

It is not easy to hit sixes against bowlers like Varun Chakaravarthy, Sunil Narine and Blessing Muzarabani, but he made it look easy, Kumble said on JioStar.

'We Got Close In The Last 13 Seasons, Delighted To Break The Streak,' Says Jayawardene As MI End Opening-game Hoodoo

As Mumbai Indians: As Mumbai Indians have finally shed one of the IPLs most curious streaks, head coach Mahela Jayawardene revealed that the long-standing hoodoo had remained a recurring theme within the dressing room, making its end as much a mental breakthrough as a statistical one. A six-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday marked MI's first opening-game victory since 2012. Since their last opening-game win in 2012 against Chennai Super Kings, MI went on to build one of the most dominant franchises in IPL history, collecting five titles along the way. Not winning the first match of a new IPL season after 2012 was something that we always talk about in the dressing room. We got close to winning in each of the opening matches in the last 13 seasons but we never managed to successfully get over the line, Jayawardene told JioStar. I think this win over KKR was a great execution. I got a bit nervous when KKR got to a score of 220, but the wicket was pretty decent to bat on and Rohit-Rickeltons fearless batting ensured that we didnt suffer any hiccups. Im very happy with the win and delighted to break the streak of losing our first match in a new IPL season, he added. The chase was anchored by an aggressive approach at the top, with Rohit Sharma leading the charge alongside Ryan Rickelton, as Mumbai refused to let the required rate spiral. Their intent effectively neutralised what could have been scoreboard pressure, turning a potentially tricky pursuit into a statement of authority. I think this win over KKR was a great execution.

Cameron Has Lower Back Injury, KKR Fully Aware: Cricket Australia Respond After Rahanes ask CA Remark

Kolkata Knight Riders: Cricket Australia has responded to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain Ajinkya Rahane, who said that only the Australian board knows why, Cameron Green didn't bowl in the team's heavy loss to the Mumbai Indians, saying the they had informed the franchise in advance that the allrounder would not bowl for the first 1012 days of the IPL due to a back injury. On Sunday, KKR suffered a heavy defeat against MI as Hardik Pandya's men successfully chased a target of 221 with six wickets and five balls remaining. Openers Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton combined for a 148-run partnership, quickly putting the game out of KKR's reach within the first 10 overs. Seeking answers, KKR couldn't rely on their top all-rounder Cameron Green, who was bought for a record Rs 25.20 crore. After losing, Rahane appeared frustrated when asked why Green didn't bowl at all as the KKR captain told presenter Ian Bishop that the question should go to Cricket Australia, implying the board had prevented Green from bowling in the IPL.

Cameron is currently rebuilding his bowling loads in India with a view to return in around 10-12 days' time. KKR has been communicated with and is fully aware of this information. Making his debut for KKR on Sunday, Green batted in the top-order at No. 3, starting the innings before holing out for a 10-ball 18 as the three-time champions eventually set a total of 220/4.
