IPL 2026: Tilak Varma's Century Guides Mumbai Indians To 199/5 Against Gujarat Titans

Indian Premier League: India's T20 World Cup champion Tilak Varma smashed his maiden IPL century as Mumbai Indians (MI) posted 199/5 in 20 overs against Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 30 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Monday despite early breakthroughs by Kagiso Rabada. Asked to bat first, the Mumbai Indians had a cautious start with a new opening combination of debutant Danish Malewar and experienced Quinton de Kock. The pair struggled to find timing early on, managing just two runs in the opening over, bowled by Mohammed Siraj. The pressure told in the second over when Kagiso Rabada struck early. Malewar, playing his first match, was trapped after scoring just two runs. De Kock tried to get going but couldnt convert his start, falling for 13 off 11 balls as Rabada produced a sharp caught-and-bowled effort. Amid the early setbacks, Naman Dhir looked positive and played a few attacking shots, including consecutive boundaries off Siraj. However, Rabada continued to dominate the Power-play, removing Suryakumar Yadav for 15 to leave the Mumbai Indians in trouble. At the end of six overs, the Mumbai Indians were restricted to 46/3. With the top-order back in the pavilion, Tilak Varma and Dhir focused on rebuilding the innings. The duo showed good composure, rotating the strike regularly and picking up boundaries whenever the bowlers erred. Their steady approach helped MI recover, as they reached 75/3 at the halfway mark. The partnership grew to 52 runs before Prasidh Krishna broke through in the 13th over. Dhir attempted a big shot but was caught in the deep, ending a valuable knock of 45 off 32 balls, which included several well-timed boundaries. Tilak, who had started cautiously on a slightly slow pitch, began to accelerate after Dhirs dismissal. He targeted the bowlers in the middle and death overs, especially taking on Prasidh Krishna in a high-scoring over that shifted momentum back in MIs favour. He brought up his half-century in 33 balls and continued to play aggressively. In the final overs, Tilak showcased his full range of shots, finding gaps with ease and clearing the boundary regularly. His timing and shot selection stood out as he took control of the innings. Tilak eventually reached his maiden IPL century in just 45 balls and remained unbeaten on 101. His outstanding knock was decorated with eight fours and seven sixes, helping the Mumbai Indians finish strongly and post a challenging total of 199/5. For the Gujarat Titans, Rabada was the pick of the bowlers with impressive figures of 3/33 in his four overs, making early breakthroughs that kept his team in the game. Siraj and Prasidh Krishna chipped in with one wicket each, but the bowlers struggled to contain Tilak in the final overs. Tilak eventually reached his maiden IPL century in just 45 balls and remained unbeaten on 101. His outstanding knock was decorated with eight fours and seven sixes, helping the Mumbai Indians finish strongly and post a challenging total of 199/5.

IPL 2026: Mumbai Indians Hand Debuts To Krish, Danish As Gujarat Titans Opt To Bowl

Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans (GT) have won the toss and elected to bowl first against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in match 30th of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Monday. The five-time champions have made several changes in the playing XI, as Krish Bhagat and Danish Malewar are making their debut, and Ryan Rickleton and Deepak Chahar are out of the team. After winning the toss, GT skipper Shubman Gill said, It looks like a decent wicket, honestly. There was a bit of dew in the last match. So, just in case there is today, I think it would make more sense. Always good to have a target on the board and then try to chase it down. I think the way we have been bowling up front has been a huge positive for us, even in the last match and the game before that. So hopefully we continue with our bowling rhythm up front, and then in the middle overs, Rashid Khan has been really good for us. So hopefully we all continue in the same manner. Always good to have some runs on the belt and in a tournament like IPL, a long tournament, if you start well, you can really, really have a good season. And thats what I will strive for. Always a good challenge to play against them. I think they are a solid team, and hopefully its going to be a good match. Were going with the same team, he added. After losing the toss, MI skipper Hardik Pandya spoke about the changes in the team and performance so far in the season. We would have fielded as well. Its obviously the last game for us as a group. We had to regroup and speak about what the Mumbai Indians stand for and what kind of game we want to play. And we had a good number of chats. People are looking forward to the game. (You have bounced back from such situations before?) Yeah, more often than not. So this time we want to make sure that we start the winning form and make sure that we play some good cricket and tick boxes whenever we are supposed to tick. And yeah, just backing each other, sticking by each other, he said There will be tough times, but yeah, just stand with each other and go out and play some good cricket. (Areas of improvement) I think we need to play overall better cricket. I cant pinpoint one factor. As Ive said earlier, we win together, we lose together. So as a group, we need to get better. It's a fresh day. The sun has risen again in a positive way. A couple of debuts for us. Danish (Malewar) makes his Mumbai Indians debut. And Krish (Bhagat), who was part of the support bowlers, really impressed us. He got into the team three days back, and such is life that hes playing today, he added. GT have bounced back strongly from opening two defeats to string together three consecutive victories. Their bowling unit, which was a strength last year, has rediscovered its rhythm and is now delivering across all phases of the innings. Prasidh Krishna is once again among the leading wicket-takers, while Rashid Khan has been outstanding in the middle overs. While Siraj and Rabada are also looking in good touch. In contrast, the Mumbai Indians find themselves struggling for momentum. After ending their long-standing streak of losing opening matches, they have slipped into poor form with four successive defeats, leaving them in the lower half of the standings. Jasprit Bumrah, though economical, is yet to claim a wicket in five matches, and the bowling unit as a whole has failed to take wickets at regular intervals and also stop the flow of runs.

IPL 2026: My Goal Is To Now Play For India Across Formats, Says RCB Pacer Rasikh

Rasikh Salam Dar: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fast bowler Rasikh Salam Dar said his ultimate ambition is to represent India across formats, and is open to representing the country in any form. In IPL 2026, Rasikh has picked five wickets in three games, including a match-winning effort of 4-24. I didnt start playing cricket thinking about the IPL or India. I had no idea where this journey would take me. But now, my goal is to play for India across formats, in any format, Rasikh said in a release by the franchise on Monday. His persistence was evident when he made his first appearance of the season at the Wankhede Stadium, returning with figures of 1-23 against Mumbai Indians despite battling cramps. When I came on to bowl, I got a cramp, something I had never experienced before. After almost every ball, I was cramping. I was falling over while delivering, and I couldnt even bend properly. My only thought was that I had to complete the over. If I could do that, the team would be in a better position, he said. Those efforts earned Rasikh praise from RCB assistant coach Omkar Salvi. There is a character in him. Staying in the hills of Jammu and Kashmir, that hard life, travelling long hours to go and play cricket, you can see the way he has grown as a player. The first thing I saw was that he was competitive. At the same time, he was creative in his approach. Apart from swinging the ball both ways, he had a slower one and a different perspective on how to approach T20 cricket, he said. Rasikh recalled the early doubts around his career, before he got encouragement from his mother. When I started playing professionally, my family and relatives used to say that no one can take cricket as a profession because very few people were playing from our region. But my mother always believed in me. Since childhood, she used to say that my son will become a cricketer. His journey included long travel to attend trials, guidance from Irfan Pathan, and later setbacks with injuries after being picked by Kolkata Knight Riders, amidst a two-year break from the sport. When I first went for the Under-19 trials, I didnt even know the process properly. I wasnt selected that year. The next year, when I went again, Irfan Pathan was there. After watching me bowl a few deliveries, he stopped me and started guiding me. Thats when I felt that maybe he saw something in me. I got a back injury after playing two matches. Then I got injured again during recovery. At that time, I realised I shouldnt rush. I had to follow the process, no matter how long it took. When I first went for the Under-19 trials, I didnt even know the process properly. I wasnt selected that year. The next year, when I went again, Irfan Pathan was there. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The effort behind the scenes was evident to Salvi. He always kept working hard for himself. He was always trying to learn from every game he watched while sitting out. And then he had his own opinions, which we used to discuss later after the game during practice. With Rasikh, he has the ability to move the ball both ways, he said. Article Source: IANS

3EA Global Launches FTS Fitness Through Sports, A New Habit-Based Fitness Model for India

FTS Fitness Through Sports at a high-profile media interaction in Mumbai. Positioned as Indias first AI-led behavioural sports fitness ecosystem, FTS Fitness Through Sports is designed not as a gym chain or sports booking app, but as a structured habit-formation platform that integrates fitness naturally into everyday life. 3EA Global Strategy Team and FTS Founder mark the launch of an AI-powered behavioral sports fitness platform integrating fitness into daily routines across India While the national media unveiling took place in Mumbai , the company confirmed that the first proof-of-concept operational centre will launch in Lucknow , serving as the behavioural validation hub before phased expansion across major Indian cities. FTS Fitness Through Sports emerged from strategic consultations at the 3EA Global Lucknow office, where Mr. Aman Dubey, founder of Turf Titans , engaged with the company's research and strategy team to explore scaling beyond a competitive turf model. The research team, led by Mr. Kritagaya Singh , Associate Domain Partner, Ms. Divya Srivastava , Senior Domain Partner and Mr. Avi Agarwal , Growth Analyst, under the strategic supervision of Er. Pranav Bhaskar , National Business Partner, 3EA Global conducted feasibility assessments, developed the three-year business plan, structured the partnership model, and validated demand through a Pan-India behavioural survey involving over 300 individuals . The findings revealed a decisive shift - most participants were not seeking competition they were seeking fitness in an enjoyable format. This insight reframed sports as a sustainable pathway to health rather than an athletic pursuit. During the press interaction, journalists raised pointed questions on retention challenges, differentiation from gyms, scalability, and the role of technology. Dr. Vibhor Mishra , CEO, 3EA Global stated, The biggest challenge in preventive healthcare is not awareness it is continuity. Fitness today depends heavily on motivation, and motivation is temporary. Behaviour, however, is sustainable. FTS is designed as a behavioural system where participation becomes routine rather than a decision. He further emphasized that the platform measures consistency over intensity, focusing on habit formation rather than performance metrics. Addressing comparisons with conventional gyms, Mr. Aman Dubey, Founder of FTS explained, People dont quit fitness because they dont value health. They quit because it feels like work. Sports create engagement, accountability, and belonging. When others expect you to show up, you rarely skip. He clarified that FTS is not a turf aggregation platform nor a pay-per-session sports service . Instead, it operates on a structured subscription-driven participation model, where members follow recurring weekly schedules integrating sports sessions, wellness formats, and community leagues. Dr. Vibhor Mishra elaborated that FTS integrates artificial intelligence to guide participation responsibly. The application profiles users based on lifestyle patterns, body type, medical sensitivities, and fitness objectives. Individuals with cervical spine concerns or specific health conditions receive guided recommendations to ensure suitability. The system tracks habit streaks, participation frequency, and engagement rhythms rather than calorie counts or competition scores. We designed health to fit into lifestyle not the other way around, Dr. Vibhor Mishra quoted. Speaking on the asset-light expansion model, Er. Pranav Bhaskar explained that FTS will operate through structured Facility Partner (FP) agreements across cities. Facilities can range from multi-sport environments offering cricket, football, badminton, and pickleball to specialized single-format centres. Through a unified application, members can access sessions across partner facilities within their city. Future wellness businesses will be defined by engagement models, not equipment. Retention is behavioural, not infrastructural, Er. Pranav Bhaskar said. He emphasized that the distributed partnership model allows rapid scaling while maintaining centralised behavioural governance. When asked why operations would begin in Lucknow instead of a metro city, Mr. Aman Dubey clarified, We chose Lucknow intentionally. It represents aspirational India with realistic lifestyle patterns. Before scaling nationally, we want to validate behavioural adoption in an authentic environment. The first centre will function as a structured habit-formation laboratory, measuring participation adherence and community engagement before metro expansion. FTS Fitness Through Sports aims to address broader concerns such as sedentary work culture, stress, lifestyle diseases, and declining community interaction. By embedding structured sports into routine schedules across age groups youth, working professionals, mid-age individuals, and senior citizens the platform aspires to create measurable public health and socio-economic impact. Rather than positioning itself as a gym alternative, FTS positions itself as a behavioural shift. Traditional fitness formats demand discipline. FTS embeds fitness within enjoyment. As the media interaction concluded, representatives reiterated that FTS Fitness Through Sports is not merely a single-location venture but a scalable national ecosystem designed to transform how India experiences movement.
