T20 World Cup: Former India captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth launched a scathing critique of the Mumbai Indians bowling unit following their recent defeat to Punjab Kings, questioning both selection decisions and the teams overall strategy to play both Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur in the playing XI. At the Wankhede Stadium, MI put up 195 in their 20 overs on a surface that offered plenty for the batters, but the total proved insufficient as PBKS chased it down comfortably in just 16.2 overs, exposing serious flaws in MIs bowling attack. Srikkanth was particularly critical of the inclusion of Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur, pointing to their expensive spells. I don't know how MI are playing Deepak Chahar in the XI. I don't know why they retained him. First over, he gave away 21 runs. In the previous match, it was 22 runs. 2.3 overs, 45 runs. Our sir, Shardul Thakur. 3 overs, 42 runs. Combined, they bowled 5.3 overs and 87 runs, Srikkanth said on his YouTube show. The former chairman of selectors went further, questioning how a team could compete with such returns from key bowlers. How can you win a match if two of your important bowlers are giving away 87 runs in 5.3 overs? How can you play both of them in the XI? I asked that question in the pre-match show. Are you saying they don't have any good bowling options? Send them home. Pay them their money and request that they not return this season. Tell them if they are needed, they will be called. Yes, you can do this. It's not wrong. Punjabs chase was set up by an explosive start from Prabhsimran Singh, who smashed 80 off 39 balls, while skipper Shreyas Iyer anchored the innings with a composed 66 off 35 deliveries. Srikkanth also raised concerns over the handling of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who has struggled to make an impact this season after a demanding international schedule. Five matches wicketless. He got hit, too. He needs a mental break and a physical break. He gave his life and was at the peak of his prowess in the T20 World Cup. He was in the running for the Player of the Tournament award. They are now overburdening him, Srikkanth opined. Bumrah conceded 41 runs in his four overs without taking a wicket in the match, compounding MIs problems as the bowling unit failed to apply any sustained pressure. Five matches wicketless. He got hit, too. He needs a mental break and a physical break. He gave his life and was at the peak of his prowess in the T20 World Cup. He was in the running for the Player of the Tournament award.

CSK Must Play MS Dhoni, It Will Give Them An Extra Edge Against SRH: Aditya Tare
Batting Coach Matthew Hayden: Former Mumbai cricketer Aditya Tare stressed the importance of MS Dhoni in Chennai Super Kings setup ahead of their key fixture against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday, stating that the former CSK captains experience in a relatively young side, especially in high-pressure encounters, will be crucial. Chennai Super Kings need MS Dhoni more than ever. If he is fit to play, he has to play against Sunrisers Hyderabad in any capacity. I would personally want him to keep wickets for the full 20 overs because he is excellent behind the stumps. No disrespect to Sanjus wicket-keeping, but you need that experience, Tare told JioStar. With Chennai preparing for a crucial outing, Tare believes Dhonis leadership and on-field inputs could prove decisive in tight situations, particularly for a side blending youth with experience. There is a lot of youth in CSKs line-up and their two debutants Kartik Sharma and Prashant Veer need that guidance of someone as experienced as Mahi bhai. The team has shown a lot of faith in those two players, but if you have MSD, you have to make him play. His presence will help Kartik and Prashant handle the pressure better. Mahi bhai has always been a great support to Ruturaj and to the bowlers. We have seen him constantly talking to the bowlers and guiding them and that is something which will give an extra edge to Chennai against SRH, he added. Reflecting on Gujarat Titans chase against the Kolkata Knight Riders, Tare highlighted Gills composure and control through the innings.

Indian Premier League: A breathtaking fielding effort from Shreyas Iyer during the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, with the Punjab Kings skipper pulling off a remarkable boundary save-cum-catch to dismiss Hardik Pandya recently, has caught the attention of Jonty Rhodes, widely regarded as one of the finest fielders the game has seen. The sheer athleticism of the moment left players from the Mumbai dugout, including Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma, visibly stunned, underlining just how extraordinary the effort was. Several former cricketers and experts, including batting great Sachin Tendulkar, praised Iyer for his brilliance on the field. The latest to weigh in was South African great Jonty Rhodes, who reflected on the evolution of fielding standards and shared his thoughts in a post on X. Watching Shreyas Iyer perform that acrobatic fielding to assist in taking the team catch made me appreciate how fielding has evolved since my retirement. For a long time, I felt like the father of fielding, but watching these modern athletes with their timing and awareness on the boundary line, makes me feel like the grandfather of fielding! Rhodes wrote. Rhodes also spoke about how boundary fielding has evolved over time, noting that such skills werent always a major focus during his playing days. I spent 99% of my career fielding in the inner circle, and when I started working as a fielding coach, there was no focus on the modern-day hotspots on the boundaries. It was only when I started working with Mumbai Indians and saw Kieron Pollard, and then Glenn Maxwell, performing these incredible airborne saves on the boundaries that we started focusing on not only taking catches off balls that were already beyond the rope, but even saving the ball from going for a sixer, and forcing the batters to run only 1 or 2, the Proteas legend added Rhodes also spoke about how boundary fielding has evolved over time, noting that such skills werent always a major focus during his playing days. Also Read: Live Cricket Score With impact players transforming the way that batters can continuously attack the bowling, even with the loss of 4-5 wickets, bowlers need to be backed up by their fielders, and Shreyas spectacular catch and release was a perfect example of that. But lets face it; when your head coach is Ricky Ponting, one of the greatest fielders in the game, it should not come as a great surprise to see such incredible feats in the field!, he concluded.

New Delhi: Gujarat Titans assistant coach Pathiv Patel has thrown weight behind Washington Sundar despite his limited bowling opportunities this season, stressing that tactical factors, rather than fitness concerns, are shaping his role. The all-rounder has had a fluctuating run in recent years, particularly with the Impact Player rule allowing teams to lean towards specialists. Often shuffled up and down the batting order, Sundar has struggled to build consistency, managing modest returns with the bat across seasons. However, this year, Gujarat Titans have shown greater faith in him by slotting him in the top four, a move aimed at giving him stability and clarity in his role. Parthiv, the teams assistant coach, clarified that Sundars reduced bowling workload is purely a tactical call. Theres no niggle. Washington Sundar is bowling really well. Its purely a conditions and match-up-based decision. On a surface like Ahmedabad, where there isnt much turn, it becomes difficult to use him effectively. If there were more left-handers at the crease, we would have definitely gone to him. Its just about finding the right situation to bring him into the game, he told JioStar. Parthiv also downplayed any concerns around the teams middle order, which has seen limited game time due to the top-orders dominance Theres no niggle. Washington Sundar is bowling really well.
