So Shreyas Bhai: Punjab Kings batting all-rounder Suryansh Shedge has revealed how a brief exchange with captain Shreyas Iyer during a pre-season practice game became a defining moment in his mental approach to IPL 2026, adding that the skipper's simple advice to stop overthinking has stayed with him ever since. Shedge, 23, had to wait for his opportunity to play for PBKS in IPL 2026, but made a strong impression by hitting a fine 57 against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. He followed it up with a brisk 25 off 17 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad. So I remember I was playing a practice game before the IPL started. This was an internal practice game we were playing and I was batting well. I was batting on, I think, 65-70 not out and Shreyas bhai was in the fielding team and Arshdeep bhai was bowling. So I hit two boundaries on the first two balls. Then he nailed all the yorkers and I tried to play a scoop and I went on the non-strikers end and I was thinking what went wrong. So Shreyas Bhai was at covers. I asked him, Mei jaladi move hua kya? (Did I move early)? So he said, you're batting well, don't overthink. So I think that stuck with me before the season started and that's how you are ready when you actually go into bat in the middle, Shedge told IANS in a virtual roundtable chat on Saturday. With PBKS aiming to break their three-game losing streak against the Delhi Capitals at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala on Monday, Shedges late batting prowess will be key in getting the side back to winning ways. If I would have thought about things that are not in my control and started thinking about things and overthinking, getting negative thoughts in my head, I wouldn't have been able to perform in that situation. I think he always keeps me on my toes and we talk a lot about cricket. When it comes to technique, when it comes to attitude, what can both of us do better. So that's how we keep the environment positive, added Shedge, who knows Iyer well from their time of being in the Mumbai domestic team set-up. Shedge also shed light on the influence of head coach Ricky Ponting, his philosophy is centered around being relentlessly focused on preparation. I think when it comes to Ricky sir, it's always been preparation, preparation, preparation, nothing else. I think he always reiterates that that is what gave us success in the first stage of this IPL and last year's IPL. So we might as well focus on that. One more thing he says is, whatever happens, you have to back yourself, be courageous and know that you belong. So I keep repeating that and in the end, when it all comes down to facing the ball, all of that helps. On being left out of the playing eleven in the initial phase of the tournament, Shedge stated he treated the time on the sidelines as an opportunity rather than a setback. I think the attitude of working as hard as possible every day, even though I wasn't playing, I think that is what made me ready for my entry in the playing eleven. So we might as well focus on that. One more thing he says is, whatever happens, you have to back yourself, be courageous and know that you belong. So I keep repeating that and in the end, when it all comes down to facing the ball, all of that helps.

I worked as hard as I could and I still do and I always will do it till the day I play cricket and that's how I like to approach my life and my career, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: 'Sooryavanshi's Batting Approach Is Highrisk, He Doesn't Let Pressure Build, Says Tare
Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Former Mumbai wicketkeeper-batter Aditya Tare has hailed Rajasthan Royals batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshis fearless approach, adding that its phenomenal for him to watch the teenaged opener take on the best bowlers in IPL 2026. Sooryavanshi has amassed 404 runs so far for RR and is at fifth spot in the run-making charts. He will be a key batter to watch out for when RR host Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday evening. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's batting approach is highrisk, especially in the powerplay. He will sometimes get out going for big shots but that's his natural game. He doesn't let pressure build. He attacks from the very first ball. That's what makes him who he is. He scored a century against Gujarat Titans last season in Jaipur. That's the kind of innings he needs to remember. Hopefully, he can extend those batting spells and spend more time in the middle. It is phenomenal to watch him take on the best bowlers in the league during the Powerplay, said Tare on Star Sports. Tare also pointed to GTs middleorder batting issues, noting that despite strong starts, the side has often failed to close out matches early. Gujarat Titans have struggled to finish games early. Their batting coach Matthew Hayden is focusing on this issue. He scored a century against Gujarat Titans last season in Jaipur. That's the kind of innings he needs to remember. Hopefully, he can extend those batting spells and spend more time in the middle. It is phenomenal to watch him take on the best bowlers in the league during the Powerplay, said Tare on Star Sports. Also Read: Live Cricket Score You don't want to waste the strong start given by the top order. So, this is an area GT need to improve. On the bowling front, they look well settled.

IPL 2026: '18 Years And It Hurts; All Three Departments Failed,' Admits DC's DoC Venugopal Rao
DoC Venugopal Rao: For Venugopal Rao, the sense of deja vu must be as stifling as the scorching heat in the national capital. Rao, currently the director of cricket at Delhi Capitals, endured two wooden spoon finishes during his time as a player with the franchise from 2011-13, when it used to be called Delhi Daredevils. The script feels eerily familiar, with Rao now presiding over another collapse. A ruthless eightwicket demolition by Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday - DCs fifth straight home defeat - has snuffed out their playoffs hopes and prolonged the franchises agonising pursuit of a maiden IPL crown. Eighteen years, obviously it hurts. Seriously, when you look back, when I played during my days, I always wanted to win from Daredevils time to now. It's a learning process for me. Coming into the administration part, a lot of things I'm just learning. As per what the skipper said, we want to try youngsters and let's see, said a dejected Rao in the post-match press conference. The statistics paint a grim picture of a side that has lost its way in its own backyard. After an initial victory over Mumbai Indians, the Arun Jaitley Stadium has become a hunting ground for visitors rather than a stronghold for DC. On Friday, thanks to Finn Allens unbeaten 47-ball ton, KKR chased down 143 with clinical ease, needing just 14.2 overs to embarrass a DC side that appears tactically adrift. DCs campaign has been defined by wild inconsistency and a staggering inability to read local conditions, which have been varied in nature. Making 264 against Punjab Kings failed to translate into a win. Days later, the side posted the IPLs lowest powerplay total, slumping to 13/6 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and handed the initiative to the defending champions. A home match against Gujarat Titans slipped away by a single run after David Miller could not score two runs off two balls. Chennai Super Kings also recorded a comfortable victory in Delhi, as the Qila Kotla mention around the franchises pre-tournament promotions have turned a potential fortress into a liability and something which demands urgent review. See, not one department - I think all three departments failed. After getting a good start, after seven or eight overs, we were in a good position, one wicket or something down. Then later on, next six to seven overs, we couldn't get a boundary. In this big beast of a tournament, you can't miss chances. We need to win patches and those small, small areas - not only batting, even in bowling or fielding. In the whole tournament, when you see it, we couldn't win those small, small areas. One day in batting, one day in fielding, one day in bowling, added Rao. On Friday, DC were 74/2 in nine overs, though they didnt entirely break free in power-play due to slowness in pitch and one felt they could implode yet again. They had their reasons Pathum Nissanka was wonderful in his leg-side strokeplay, but then the spin choke from KKR, just like how they inflicted one over DC last year at this venue began to take shape. With five fielders patrolling the boundary, Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy and Anukul Roy began to dictate terms and choke the scoring, as between overs 12-16 Delhi managed just 11 runs from 30 balls - a mid-innings drought which never happened in the IPL. The pressure was manufactured rather than mysterious. Roy set the tone, stumping Nissanka with a slower, wider delivery before castling Tristan Stubbs, as KKR exposed that DCs batting line-up could not adjust to sustained and accurate spin bowling. In all, DC played 51 dot balls, and in comparison to Allens brutal century, they looked like a side stuck in a batting template of a bygone era. I think in the last couple of matches, where we felt that batting is the main concern. When you're batting first, you saw last match also, we failed in the first 10 overs. Somewhere in the next 10 overs, we recovered. I think here also, when we got a good start, we couldn't capitalize. This kind of a tournament, you can't miss those patches. See, here we can't coach. Everybody has experience and at the end of the day, you need to read the situation, conditions and when you can adapt only, you win matches. We can't keep sending messages as a batting group. One more thing - the biggest challenge as a batting group is responsibility, when things fail, as a batting unit, you need to take responsibility. I'll do it, rather than somebody does it. So, I think that is missing, I felt. Maybe, let's see next couple of games, how this, as a batting unit, how it will turn up, elaborated Rao. When pressed further, Rao drew on specific matches to make his case. Sorry, I cannot point to just one department. In different matches, different departments have let us down. Against Punjab, we scored heavily but then dropped catches while bowling. In some games, the bowlers did well but the batters could not adapt. In the last two games especially, the batters struggled to adapt to the conditions. Overall, if you ask me, yes, batting has been an area where we needed to adapt better in certain conditions. Even in the first few games, after losing four or five wickets, we still managed to win a couple of matches. But sometimes, I think, the batting unit has let us down, he said. A question about skipper Axar Patels horrible run with the bat and if Prithvi Shaw will be given a chance prompted Rao to address it head-on. People will obviously ask whom you want to drop, Pathum or KL. But when it comes to captains and senior players in this format, you always want experienced people like them to do well. He has been a part of World Cup-winning squads and came into this tournament with strong reputations. Somewhere along the way, I think he lost form. Hopefully, he comes back strongly in the next three games. It hurts when you look at the opposition and see that some of the senior players could not perform. But we need to face the reality and accept it, he said. Rao also addressed the bowling group's difficulties, especially around premier wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav, whose lean run continued with him conceding 41 runs in three overs. A major part of Kuldeep looking pedestrian has been him missing his usual lengths, as batters freely send his overpitched and mostly short balls over the boundary ropes. A person like him is a bundle of experience - played and won two T20 World Cups. Sometimes a bad season happens. Everyone goes through it. I think, somewhere he lost the rhythm. I think he'll come back. See, by playing for more than 10 years in this circuit, he knows it. Sometimes you can't point and it happens in a tournament like this. We are facing it and we are at receiving end of it. Person like him, with Axar and all, if these two continue in good form, one is doing well, one is not doing, it hurts in the bowling group, especially in the middle of those. So, we are facing that failure, he said. Looking back across the full campaign, Rao traced a consistent thread of momentum losses that he believes has defined the season and was emphatic that DC have no one to blame but themselves. No, it is not only about the Punjab game. Even in the Gujarat game here, and in several other matches we needed to win, we lost important phases. That is what I keep saying. To win matches, you need to win key patches during the game. We have not done that consistently. If you look back, not just against Punjab but also against Gujarat, there were moments where two balls or two runs shifted the momentum away from us. Then we lost the Chennai game as well. We did win against RCB, but after that against Punjab we also had issues like injuries and concussion substitute for Ngidi. But we cannot keep giving excuses. We need to face the situation as it is. In a tournament like this, you cannot point to just one match. If you look back from the Gujarat game to this match, in almost every game we have not managed to win the small moments and key phases. That is why we are in this position on the points table right now, he said. If you look back, not just against Punjab but also against Gujarat, there were moments where two balls or two runs shifted the momentum away from us. Then we lost the Chennai game as well. We did win against RCB, but after that against Punjab we also had issues like injuries and concussion substitute for Ngidi. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Rao opened his press conference by lamenting the unbroken trophy drought, and closed it with the only stance left to him: cautious pragmatism and no guarantees. Obviously in the next three games, we will see how it goes. One game at a time and obviously we will try to use bench players. When the skipper says something like that, it is something we definitely want to try, he concluded. Article Source: IANS
