We are keeping it simple: Gaikwad eyes playoff push after big win vs MI
Ruturaj Gaikwad led Chennai Super Kings to a crucial eight-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians, keeping their playoff hopes alive.

The win underscores CSK's determined approach to the tournament's business end.
IPL 2026: Gaikwad Hails Bowlers After CSK Beat MI, Lauds Kamboj, Noor For Good Show
Chennai Super Kings: The Indian quartet of Dharamveer Choudhary, Rajesh Ramesh, Vishal TK and Manu T.S. clocked an impressive time of 3:00.32 seconds, a season best, in the mens 4x400m to finish fourth in their heat 3 on day one of World Athletics Relays at Gaborones National Stadium on Saturday. A target of 160 wasnt a massive one for CSK, and Gaikwad hit 67 not out off 48 balls, laced with five fours and two sixes, his second successive fifty. Kartik, meanwhile, registered his maiden IPL halfcentury in an unbeaten 40-ball vigil, hitting four boundaries and three sixes, as CSK wrapped up the chase with 11 balls remaining. At the age of 20 years and 6 days, Kartik became the second youngest CSK batter to score an IPL fifty after Ayush Mhatre (17y 291d). The duo rotated strike wisely and punished the loose deliveries by sending them to the boundary ropes and kept the chase firmly under control through a 98-run stand off 75 balls for the third wicket. Though Jasprit Bumrah and AM Ghazanfar took a scalp each, CSK were simply too composed in the chase to complete the double over MI and bring their campaign back on track. The eightwicket win is CSKs biggest victory against MI in the IPL, and this is the third time they have achieved a league double over their archrivals after 2014 and 2023. Right from the word go, CSKs chase was steady. Sanju Samson hit two boundaries and was even dropped by Ryan Rickelton before the latter took the formers catch off Bumrah. Gaikwad settled in quickly, working through the gaps and ensuring the scoreboard kept ticking. Urvil Patels cameo of 24 off 12 balls, laced with two fours and as many sixes, injected momentum before being dismissed by Ghazanfar. Kartik then joined Gaikwad, and the duo stitched together a matchwinning stand. Gaikwads fluency stood out as he pierced the offside field with precision, while Kartik showed maturity beyond his years by mixing caution with aggression. Their partnership never allowed MIs bowlers to build pressure. By the halfway mark, CSK were well ahead of the required rate, and the chase became a formality. Together, they ensured CSK crossed the line with ease in the 18th over, with MI now clearly staring at an early exit from the competition. Previously, Kamboj claimed 3-32 while Ahmad chipped in with 2-26 as CSK produced a disciplined bowling performance to restrict MI to a below-par total. On a two-paced pitch, CSK pulled things back after a brisk start from MI, who were 90/2 at the halfway mark, but then faltered in the last ten overs, making 69/5. CSKs pacers were clinical in bowling hard lengths and yorkers. For MI, Naman Dhir topscored with 57 off 37 balls, but did get stuck in the later stages alongside Hardik Pandya, whose timing deserted him big time. From the word go, CSK were on the money, despite Shivam Dube being out of sorts in his fielding. MI were jolted early when Will Jacks fell to Kamboj in the second over. Ryan Rickelton counterattacked by smashing five to race to 37 before Noor Ahmad dismissed him in the seventh over. Dhir joined forces with Suryakumar Yadav to keep the scoreboard ticking before the latter perished to debutant Ramakrishna Ghosh for 21. At 90/2 after 10 overs, MI looked set for a big total until CSK bounced back. Tilak Varmas scratchy stay ended on five against Noor, while Dhirs standout knock was cut short by Jamie Overtons sharp offcutter and miscued to extra cover. Kamboj came in to remove Pandya and Robin Minz to complete a threewicket haul. Trent Boult struck a six late on, but MIs innings fizzled out, as Kamboj and Noor ensured MI managed to reach a total that looked underwhelming given the start they had in the first ten overs, which CSK easily surpassed, and gave lots of delight to their faithful fans.

IPL 2026: Rickelton over The Moon With Maiden Hundred, Reveals Late Callup Eased Pressure
Indian Premier League: Mumbai Indians wicketkeeper-batter Ryan Rickelton said he was over the moon after scoring his first IPL century, adding that the late callup for the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad helped him play with freedom and reduced the pressure of expectation. MI are under pressure after losing six of their first eight matches, despite Rickelton hitting an unbeaten 123 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous outing at the Wankhede Stadium. Rickelton has been their standout performer, giving MI some stability at the top in what has been a difficult season. Over the moon obviously to get an IPL hundred. Been a dream of mine for quite a long period of time. We had a meeting the night before, trying to take a stance and put the team forward, and you know, try and make a play for the side. So really chuffed that I managed to try lead that line, I thought. But I was extremely disappointed, the IPL's crazy that these scores are getting chased down that frequently and that easily as well. So a little bit worrying, but it's still a great occasion, I suppose. Still a lot to look forward to, Rickelton said to the broadcasters ahead of the clash. On how he prepared for the late inclusion, Rickelton recalled, I did not. I was in the pool with my family. Everyone was over here. So, I trained the morning before in the gym with Chappie and put in a good shift. Like I said, I checked my phone. I had six missed calls saying Quinny's (Quinton de Kock) out, you are in tonight. So, probably the lesson there is the ability not to overthink and not to worry about the game and almost view it as a bit of a free hit. Didn't know how long Quinny was going to be out for either. So just to kind of unburden yourself from that expectation and the pressure that most of us put ourselves under. Kind of just let me take the opportunity, just be positive. Had a great partner with Jacks. He was really positive and eager to get going. Like I said, just the short amount of time made me think about a lot less, he added. Rickelton also spoke about the challenge of maximising the Power-play. I think that pressure is always going to exist internally, but just with the trend of the IPL, there's always something unique. Each ground has its own characteristics. Kind of just let me take the opportunity, just be positive. Had a great partner with Jacks. He was really positive and eager to get going. Like I said, just the short amount of time made me think about a lot less, he added. Also Read: Live Cricket Score If we could, it would be a different game. But to try and give yourself the best chance of, you doing what you can for the team and maximising that opportunity in the power play. Hopefully, Jacksey and I can do that tonight, he concluded.

Punjab Kings: Punjab Kings fast bowler Lockie Ferguson on Saturday praised skipper Shreyas Iyer's temperament and leadership so far in IPL 2026, saying the right-handed batter's attitude has rubbed off really well on the entire team and that going through highs and lows of his career have added to him being a calm and assured leader. PBKS currently sit at top of points table with six wins from eight games and a huge factor in them having an outstanding season has been down to Iyers leadership of a side mixed with exuberance of youth and wisdom of experienced players. Starting on Shreyas, I played against him a lot and played A cricket against him when we were both a lot younger. You can see he's developed into a very confident player. I think that sort of continues through his captaincy. He has a lot of trust in his players. He's had lots of ups and downs in his career and understands that things don't always work out perfectly. But it's not easy to be a captain, as I have had the chance of captaining myself in some franchise tournaments. I can imagine the pressure he's under as the leader of the Punjab franchise, but he does it so well. He's so consistent with his attitude and his temperament amongst the group, which I think flows onto how the guys play, Ferguson told IANS in a virtual roundtable chat organised by the franchise on Saturday. He also credited head coach Ricky Ponting for fostering a high-confidence, enjoyable environment within the squad. It also comes from Ricky as well. They work so well together. They build a lot of confidence within the group. We have a lot of fun and then, I think when cricket happens, the boys really try to turn on and perform for their leaders. So, again, nice to be back with the group. PBKS take on GT in Ahmedabad on Sunday evening, on the back of their unbeaten run in the competition coming to a halt through a six-wicket loss to Rajasthan Royals in New Chandigarh. Their bowlers, including Ferguson, who was playing his first game of the season, sent down more than twice as many slower balls as RR but gave away 64 runs off 27 of those deliveries without taking a wicket. A costly lapse in execution handed out a harsh reality check for PBKS, who have already conceded five 200plus totals and stand second only to RR. With an economy rate of 10.5, PBKS also sit among the most expensive attacks this season alongside Mumbai Indians (10.9) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (10.4). PBKS have taken the fewest wickets - just 34 - and have the worst average (43.9) and ballsperwicket ratio (25.2) for any side in the competition. Their pace attack has been leaking runs all season, and only MIs quicks have a higher economy rate than Punjabs 10.9. A costly lapse in execution handed out a harsh reality check for PBKS, who have already conceded five 200plus totals and stand second only to RR.

Josh Inglis Links Up With LSG For IPL 2026
Lucknow Super Giants: Lucknow Super Giants have received a timely boost with Australian wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis joining the squad ahead of their crucial IPL 2026 clash against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. The 31-year-old, whose availability had been a topic of discussion since the auction, has now reached India and started training with the team. Inglis had previously told franchises that he would miss part of the season due to personal commitments, such as his wedding in Western Australia on April 18, which caused some uncertainty about his participation. Despite initial doubts, Lucknow signed him for Rs 8.6 crore after his release from Punjab Kings, where he had played for a much lower fee. His delayed arrival raised questions, but now his inclusion is crucial for LSG, who are struggling at the bottom of the standings with only two wins in eight matches. Inglis addition is anticipated to bolster a batting lineup that has struggled with consistency this season, especially among the overseas players. Given the limited contributions from key individuals, the Australians aggressive style of play might provide the boost the team needs. Confirming the news across social media platforms, LSG shared a picture that said Explosives from Down Under. He comes with strong credentials from the last edition, having scored 278 runs in 11 innings with a strike rate over 160. His skill to handle top-quality pace could be crucial, particularly against a Mumbai attack led by Jasprit Bumrah. Inglis has previously performed well against the Indian fast bowler, especially during a key moment last season when he faced Bumrah.
