Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Chief selector Ajit Agarkar on Tuesday said the selectors will rely on the Indian team physios feedback to determine the availability of senior players Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya for the upcoming ODI series against Afghanistan, adding that though both are on track, they will still be reassessed closer to the matches. Though Rohit and Pandya are in the ODI mix, their availability for the games against Afghanistan in Dharamshala, Lucknow, and Chennai on June 14, 17, and 20, respectively, will depend on them getting fitness clearance. Pandya, whos nursing back spasms, has missed three matches for the Mumbai Indians since last featuring on May 2, with the five-time champions already out of the race for the playoffs. Rohit, meanwhile, has played only seven of MIs 12 games this season after sustaining a right hamstring injury against Royal Challengers Bengaluru earlier in the tournament. I mean, sometimes a player knows whether he can play through it or not. I won't be able to tell you, sitting here, whether they are playing through niggles or not. You certainly want them fit when they come and play or represent the national team. But that's an area of expertise for the trainers and the physios who kind of give me the feedback on where a player is at. I mean, I am not an expert in that area. If they tell me a certain guy is fit, I've got to trust that person when we pick them. Maybe in two weeks, if we are told that those two guys haven't quite made it fitness-wise, we'll take a call accordingly. But at this point, I've been told that they are on track, and we will perhaps assess it. Now, whether they have been playing with something, I am not sure. I go by what the physio tells me, and I have full faith in what the Indian physio tells me, said Agarkar in a virtual press conference. On seam-bowling all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, who hasnt found a place in the ODI team despite having shown considerable progress with his bowling speeds for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2026 after having a stint with renowned fast bowling coach Steffan Jones, Agarkar said the national selection panel is keeping a close eye on him. Its very important, and I think we have all seen a lot of progress. Particularly, we know he has been really good with the bat. But we have seen a lot of progress over the last few months with regard to his bowling as well. It is about giving people exposure. He is still quite young in his career, even though he might have been around since that Australia trip. So the more experience you give them, like you mentioned, going to South Africa, we are going to need guys, ideally, seam bowling all around us. If we can find some that will give us a little bit of balance, he certainly fits the bill. He is fit at this point, and we hope he stays fit because the more he plays, he is going to get better. There is no doubt about it. So he could end up being a critical part of our team if he keeps developing the way he is at this point. We are very happy with the way he is going, and over the next few months, there will be lots of games for us to give him those opportunities to keep getting better. On the headache of selecting teams with so many options in hand, with Prince Yadav, Gurnoor Brar, and Harsh Dubey selected in the ODI team for the first time, Agarkar said, I don't read what's going on social media. So, I don't know what's going on. He is fit at this point, and we hope he stays fit because the more he plays, he is going to get better. There is no doubt about it. So he could end up being a critical part of our team if he keeps developing the way he is at this point. We are very happy with the way he is going, and over the next few months, there will be lots of games for us to give him those opportunities to keep getting better. Also Read: Live Cricket Score But that's a good headache to have, rather than having fewer options. At this point, certainly in white-ball cricket, we are blessed with a lot of options. So, no, I think the job is very difficult, but in a good way because there are more options, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

KKR vs MI Match 65 , Cricket Tips :Kolkata Knight Riders have shown a great comeback after six winless matches to start the IPL 2026. Now, they have won five out of their last six matches, which has put them in contention for the playoffs. But KKR have to win their remaining two games and hope that the other results can go in their favor. KKR will face Mumbai Indians in a home game. These two teams will be up against each other on Wednesday at Eden Gardens at 7:30 PM IST. MI had a win in the last game against PBKS without Suryakumar Yadav. He is likely to be back, but Quinton de Kock and Raj Bawa have been ruled out due to injuries. MI have already beaten KKR once this season and will look to do it again.

KKR vs MI Head-to-Head in IPL Total Matches : 36 KKR : 11 MI : 25 No - Result : 00 KKR vs MI: Ground Pitch Report The wicket at Eden Gardens is good for batting. In the previous IPL game between KKR and GT, 465 runs were scored and 34 sixes were hit. This indicates how well this wicket behaves for the batting side. Although spinners will get some grip with the old ball, but we might see another batting-dominant match here. KKR vs MI Possible XIs KKR : Ajinkya Rahane (c), Finn Allen, Cameron Green, Angkrish Raghuvanshi (wk), Rinku Singh, Manish Pandey, Sunil Narine, Anukul Roy, Varun Chakravarthy, Saurabh Dubey, Kartik Tyagi MI : Suryakumar Yadav (c), Ryan Rickelton (wk), Rohit Sharma, Naman Dhir, Tilak Varma, Sherfane Rutherford, Will Jacks, Corbin Bosch, Ashwani Kumar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma KKR vs MI Player to Watch Out For Probable Best Batter Finn Allen has been pretty good for KKR, and he can give them a flying start. For MI, Ryan Rickelton has been the key performer with the bat. Probable Best Bowler Sunil Narine won the MOTM award in the last game and will be a threat for KKR. For MI, Shardul Thakur did well in the last game, and he has played for KKR and will be aware of the playing conditions in Kolkata. Today Match Prediction : Both teams are coming off a win, but KKR know these conditions better. Hence, we predict Kolkata Knight Riders to win this game.

Prince, Dubey, Brar In Indias Squad For Afghanistan ODIs; Ishan Replaces Pant
Pacer Gurnoor Brar: Pacer Gurnoor Brar and Prince Yadav, along with left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Harsh Dubey, have been handed maiden call-ups for Indias three-match ODI series against Afghanistan. Indias ODIs against Afghanistan will be in Dharamshala (June 14), Lucknow (June 17), and Chennai (June 20). The squad, led by Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer, serving as the vice-captain, features senior pros Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, though the formers inclusion is subject to fitness after suffering a hamstring injury during the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. The same is the case with seam-bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who will also need fitness clearance from the medical team following back spasms, keeping him out of the Mumbai Indians' recent games in the IPL. A significant change is in the form of Ishan Kishan earning a return to the India ODI team at the expense of Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel. Rishabh remains a part of the Test squad and is an incredible player. He's not part of the ODI squad, but right now he's a key part of the Test team, said chief selector Ajit Agarkar in a virtual press conference while announcing the squad. Princes accuracy and pace while being a standout bowler for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2026 by 16 wickets have impressed the selection panel enough to earn an ODI call-up, with no place for Mohammed Siraj, injured Harshit Rana, Axar Patel, and Ayush Badoni, who were present during Indias 2-1 series loss to New Zealand earlier this year.

IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch KKR Vs MI, Know All Details
Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders head into Wednesdays IPL 2026 clash against Mumbai Indians at Eden Gardens with their playoff hopes hanging by a thread. KKR have revived their campaign impressively after a poor first half of the season, winning five of their last six matches to stay in contention for the final playoff spot. However, with only 11 points so far, the equation remains simple: defeat Mumbai and keep their qualification chances alive. Even consecutive wins may not be enough for Kolkata, who also require favourable results involving Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals. The race for the last playoff berth remains intense despite Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad already confirming qualification. KKR will draw confidence from their strong recent performances at Eden Gardens, especially after posting 247/2 against Gujarat Titans in their last home game. The batting lineup has clicked at the right time, though injury concerns around Matheesha Pathirana and Varun Chakaravarthy remain a concern. Mumbai, meanwhile, are already out of the playoff race and are likely to continue testing combinations. Captain Hardik Pandya remains doubtful, while injuries to Quinton de Kock and Raj Bawa have weakened the squad. However, Suryakumar Yadav has rejoined the team and could lead the side. Historically, MI have dominated the rivalry, winning 25 of 36 meetings, including their earlier clash this season.

Kartik Is Proving To Be Just As Good At No. 4: Raina Compares CSK Youngster To Badrinath
Chennai Super Kings: Former India all-rounder Suresh Raina believes Chennai Super Kings may have found a long-term answer for their crucial number four position in young Kartik Sharma, drawing comparisons with former CSK mainstay S. Badrinath after the youngsters impressive run in IPL 2026. Raina compared Kartiks temperament and role clarity to Badrinath, who was regarded as one of CSKs most dependable middle-order batters during the franchises early years, stating that Kartik has begun showing similar traits in pressure situations this season. At number four, Badrinath always delivered for CSK. The way he batted and handled that role was top-class. Now, I feel young Kartik Sharma is playing that same role really well. He plays spin confidently, rotates the strike smartly, handles pace without trouble, and stays calm under pressure, Raina told JioStar. Raina further explained that those qualities were exactly what made Badrinath such an important player for Chennais batting unit, saying, These were exactly Badrinath's strengths, and Kartik is showing the same qualities. The praise comes after a strong run of performances from the 20-year-old, who has begun repaying the franchise's faith in him following his high-profile signing ahead of the season. Kartik has looked increasingly assured in the middle order over CSKs last five matches, scoring 32 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, 71 against Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow, 20 against LSG in Chennai, an unbeaten 41 against Delhi Capitals, and an unbeaten 54 against Mumbai Indians. His recent knocks have highlighted not just attacking ability, but also composure in chases and the capacity to anchor innings through the middle overs, attributes long associated with Badrinath during CSKs title-winning era. Raina also pointed to the youngsters temperament and value to the side while backing CSKs investment in him.
