IPL 2026: Need To Go Back And See Where We Are Lacking, Says Hardik After MI Suffer Another Defeat
Indian Premier League: Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya said they will go back to the drawing board and see what they are lacking as the five-time champions suffered their fourth successive defeat in Match 24 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 against Punjab Kings at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. Quinton de Kock smashed a sensational unbeaten 112 off 60 balls (8x4, 7x6) and, with Naman Dhir (50 off 31 balls, 3x4, 3x6), shared a 123-run partnership for the third wicket to rescue the team from 12/2. But MI failed to capitalise on their efforts and could manage to post only 195/6, falling short of the challenging total by 20 runs. PBKS easily chased the target, riding on half-centuries by Prabhsimran Singh (80*, 39b, 11 x4, 2x6) and Shreyas Iyer (66, 35b, 5x4, 2x6) to reach 198/3 and win the match by seven wickets with 21 balls to spare. Pandya said he didn't have much to say after his team was outplayed by an opponent that produced better efforts in batting, bowling and fielding. To be honest, I don't have much to say. We need to go back and see where we're lacking - if it's individuals, groups or planning and work it out, he said.

IPL 2026: Prabhsimran Has Raised The Bar; Is Maturing With Each Game, Says Iyer After PBKS Win
As Punjab Kings: As Punjab Kings romped to a seven-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians in Match 24 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 and surged to the top of the points table, skipper Shreyas Iyer singled out opener Prabhsimran Singh for his mature knock that made the win possible. Chasing a challenging target of 196 built on a scintillating unbeaten century by Mumbai Indians opener Quinton de Kock (112*), PBKS were in trouble at 45/2 with Priyansh Arya (15) and Cooper Connolly (17) back in the dugout. But Prabhsimran held the innings together, scored a well-controlled unbeaten 80 (39 b, 11x4, 2x6), his second successive half-century in IPL 2026, and shared a match-winning 139-run partnership with Iyer (66 off 35, 5x4, 4x6) to help the team romp to victory. Iyer said Prabhsimran has matured a lot since last season and has raised the bar for his teammates. Prabhsimran has raised his bar, considering the last season, where he swung wildly, got runs and gave excellent starts. Now he's got maturity and finishing off games. He's maturing with each game, said Iyer in the post-match presentation. He said the win was a result of team effort, and they will give the players confidence going forward. Confident and optimistic going forward. We've been playing phenomenally. We know each game is important; it's a collective effort, glad to have a comprehensive win, he said. He jokingly pointed to the sensational catch, for which he laid the groundwork, to dismiss his opposite number, Hardik Pandya, as the turning point of the match. Iyer leapt high over the boundary rope, caught the ball by the tip of his left hand fingers, switched it to his right arm, and lobbed it over the boundary rope, all the while in the air. Xavier Bartlett completed the catch, even as Iyer celebrated in front of the crowd and near the MI dugout. My catch was the key to pulling things back (laughs), but we have the tendency to do that. Did that even against SRH! We have to be present and enjoy the moment. We haven't decided on how to set totals, lucky to have won tosses so far, said Iyer He jokingly pointed to the sensational catch, for which he laid the groundwork, to dismiss his opposite number, Hardik Pandya, as the turning point of the match.

IPL 2026: Prabhsiman, Iyer Fifties Help PBKS Thrash MI As De Kock Ton Goes In Vain (Ld)
Impact Substitute AM Ghazanfar: Prabhsimran Singh and Shreyas Iyer struck their second successive half-centuries and shared a 139-run partnership for the third wicket as Punjab Kings cruised to a seven-wicket win with 21 balls to spare against the Mumbai Indians in Match 24 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. Iyer read the pitch correctly and inserted MI in to bat first on a wicket that had a slight tinge of grass and some help for the pacers. With Mumbai deciding to rest Rohit Sharma for the hamstring injury he suffered in the previous match, Quinton de Kock stepped into the opener's role and carried his bat through for his first century of IPL 2026. He smashed 112 not out off 60 balls, and with Naman Dhir contributing 50 from 31 balls, helped Mumbai Indians reach 195/6 after slumping to 12/2 in the third over. But their heroics were topped by Prabhsimran and Shreyas as they batted beautifully to help PBKS to victory. Prabhsimran and Shreyas Iyer had scored half-centuries to help PBKS beat Sunrisers Hyderabad a couple of days back, and on Thursday, they mastered another chase with the former hammering 80 not out of 39 balls and the latter scoring 66 off 35 as PBKS reached 198/3 in 16.3 overs. While Prabhsimran scored his second fifty of IPL 2026, Iyer hammered his third successive half-century in the tournament, but this one would be more satisfying for him as it came at his home ground and against a team that had three members of the T20 World Cup-winning Indian team, for which he was not considered. With this win, PBKS surged to the top of the points table with nine points, while the Mumbai Indians remained on two points from one win and four defeats. Chasing a challenging target of 196, the Punjab Kings were off to Priyansh Arya (15) and Cooper Connolly (17) with 45 runs on the board. Impact Substitute AM Ghazanfar accounted for both of them to raise hopes for Mumbai. But Prabhsimran and Iyer rescued them from the difficult position to put them on course to victory, sharing a massive partnership. They seem to have picked up from where they left off against Sunrisers Hyderabad, and the Mumbai Indians pay for their fielding lapses, three dropped catches. Prabhsimran was in brilliant form as he played shots all around the ground, timing the ball sweetly and kept the chase going. He had a slice of luck early on when Jasprit Bumrah dropped an easy chance off Hardik Pandya. Prabhsimran started with back-to-back fours off Chahar in the first over, followed that up with a six and four off the pacer in the eighth over; hammered Hardik Pandya for successive boundaries in the 10th over and struck the MI captain four and six in the 14th over. Ghazanfar and Shardul Thakur, too, were treated for boundaries as he reached his fifty off 23 balls as PBKS cruised towards the target. Iyer, who picked a sensational catch to dismiss his counterpart, played able foil to his partner early on before blazing some brilliant shots towards the end of his knock, reaching his half-century in 31 balls, hitting five fours and two sixes. With PBKS needing 35 runs from 36 balls, Iyer struck Bumrah for a couple of boundaries before smashing Shadrul Thakur for sixes off successive balls in the 16th over after being dropped by Naman Dhir in deep once. Shardul and Dhir had the last laugh when they ended Iyer's sensational knock. Dhir picked a superb catch to make up for his earlier mistake, but the match was as good as over by that time. Iyer scored 66 off 35 balls, smashing five fours and four sixes. Earlier, asked to bat first, Mumbai rode on a brilliant innings by De Kock and looked to score in excess of 200 before PBKS pulled things back a bit. With Rohit Sharma missing the match after failing to fully recover from a hamstring injury he suffered in the previous match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the Mumbai Indians were off to a poor start, slumping to 12/2 with Arshdeep Singh landing twin blows off successive balls, sending back Rickelton and India T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav for a first-ball duck. Rickelton (2) was the first to go, smashing a length-ball on his pads straight down the throat of Shashing Singh at deep backward square leg. He was Arshdeep Singh's 100th victim in the IPL 87th match. The lanky left-arm medium pacer made it 101 wickets when he swung one off the length, and Suryakuamr Yadav drove it straight to Yuzvendra Chahal. De Kock took over after that and, with Naman Dhir playing an able foil, capitalised on the short boundaries. They exploded into action in the last over of the Power-play and maintained the tempo thereafter. The seasoned South African, who had lost out to his compatriot Rickelton and missed the first four matches, scored a brilliant century off 53 balls, hitting seven boundaries and as many sixes, reaching his century in his first match for the Mumbai Indians. De Kock was the more adventurous against Yuzi Chahal and made the most of the run-out opportunity that Shreyas Iyer missed, unable to execute a direct hit. QDK, who started with a superb six off the first ball he aced, reached his fifty off 28 balls. He was quite severe on Chahal, smashing him for a couple of sixes. Dhir, who was promoted to No.4 and enjoyed a slice of luck when put down by Chahal early in his knock, hammered a half-century, making the most of his chance. He smashed Vijaykumar Vyshak for the two fours and a six off the last over of Power-play. They then smashed Chahal for two sixes and a four as they raised 100 runs off their partnership. Dhir completed his fifty off. De Kock continued to prosper; he stepped up a gear after completing his half-century, smashing Shashank Singh for back-to-back sixes and reaching the three-figure mark in 53 balls, smashing seven fours and as many sixes in his superb knock. Mumbai lost skipper Hardik Pandya (14 of 12) to a spectacular catch orchestrated by PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer, who leapt into the air, caught the ball with the tip of his left hand, exchanged it to his throwing arm and lobbed it in inside the field while in the air outside the rope for Xavier Bartlett to complete the catch. The sensation catch, which he celebrated in front of his home crowd animatedly, would be listed among the best of this season and helped PBKS restrict the Mumbai Indians to below 200. The Mumbai Indians also did not help their cause by dropping three catches in all. Bumrah's horrendous tournament continued as he went wicketless once again and also dropped a catch off Prabhsimran Singh. Mumbai lost skipper Hardik Pandya (14 of 12) to a spectacular catch orchestrated by PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer, who leapt into the air, caught the ball with the tip of his left hand, exchanged it to his throwing arm and lobbed it in inside the field while in the air outside the rope for Xavier Bartlett to complete the catch.

Indian Premier League: The magical combination of Prabhsimran Singh and Shreyas Iyer hammered half-centuries each in their second successive match and shared another crucial partnership as they helped Punjab Kings romp to a seven-wicket victory over the Mumbai Indians in Match 24 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday.

With this win, PBKS surged to the top of the points table with nine points, while the Mumbai Indians remained on two points from one win and four defeats. Chasing a challenging target of 196, Punjab Kings lost opener Priyansh Arya early after they negotiated the first two overs by Deepak Chahar and Jasprit Bumrah. But the introduction of AM Ghazanfar, who came in as an impact player in place of Suryakumar Yadav, fetched the Mumbai Indians the breakthrough when Arya whipped it off the leg stump straight to Chahar at midwicket. He fell for 15 off 9 balls (2x4, 1x6) with the team score reading 27/1. It soon became 45/2 as Cooper Connolly struck one four and two sixes during his brief stay before edging it behind to Quinton de Kock off Ghazanfar.

J&Ks Rasikh Salam shines bright in IPL 2026
Srinagar, Apr 16:Amid the early-season buzz surrounding Jammu & Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi, who is still searching for impact in IPL 2026, another fast bowler from the region has surged into the spotlight. Rasikh Salam Dar announced himself in emphatic fashion, delivering a game-defining spell to power Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a convincing win over Lucknow Super Giants. Rasikh returned with of 4/24, ensuring LSG were bowled out for a modest 146. In 16th over when Rasikh removed the well-set Ayush Badoni (38). A cleverly disguised slower delivery induced a top-edge, safely collected behind the stumps, halting LSGs momentum at a crucial juncture. He then delivered the knockout blow at the death, picking up two wickets in the final over, including Avesh Khan, to wrap up the innings with precision and composure. The spell now stands as the best bowling performance by an RCB bowler against LSG in IPL history. While Auqib, who earned a high-value contract with Delhi Capitals after a standout domestic season, has featured in just one match without leaving a mark, Rasikh has quietly built a strong case for himself with performances that combine control, variation and game awareness. IPL Career Snapshot Rasikhs IPL journey has been one of gradual evolution. Having represented multiple franchises, RCB, Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Mumbai Indians, he has featured in 15 matches so far, bowling claiming 15 wickets. His career-best figures of 4/24, achieved against LSG. Despite a relatively high career economy rate of 10.06, his 2026 numbers signal a significant turnaround. In just two matches this season, he has picked up 5 wickets at an impressive average of 9.40, with an economy of 6.88, making him one of the most effective bowlers early in the tournament. Rising with Recognition His recent performances have drawn praise from former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan and former J&K skipper Samiullah Beigh, who highlighted his tactical awareness and ability to read match situations. Having moved to Baroda in 2025 after securing an NOC from JKCA, Rasikhs domestic exposure appears to be paying dividends. His ability to mix pace, execute slower balls, and deliver under pressure is now translating into tangible success on the IPL stage. As IPL 2026 unfolds, Jammu & Kashmirs fast-bowling pipeline continues to draw attention. But for now, it is Rasikh Salam Dar who has taken centre stage, stepping out of the shadows and making headlines with a spell that could define his season.

De Kock, who was left on the bench for the first four matches of the season as Mumbai decided to got with the younger wicketkeeper-batter Ryan Rickelton, made the most of the opportunity to score 112 not out, becoming only the third player to score centuries for three different IPL teams. He joined KL Rahul and Sanju Samson when he reached the three-figure mark in 53 balls on Thursday. With Rohit Sharma missing the match after failing to fully recover from a hamstring injury he suffered in the previous match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the Mumbai Indians went in with a new opening pair as Quinton de Kock partnered his South African compatriot, Rickelton. But the move did not work, and the Mumbai Indians soon got into trouble at 12/2 with Arshdeep Singh landing twin blows off successive balls, sending back Rickelton and India T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav for a first-ball duck. Rickelton (2) was the first to go, smashing a length-ball on his pads straight down the throat of Shashing Singh at deep backward square leg. He was Arshdeep Singh's 100th victim in the IPL 87th match. The lanky left-arm medium pacer made it 101 wickets when he swung one off the length, and Suryakuamr Yadav drove it straight to Yuzvendra Chahal. Quinton de Kock and Naman Dhir then changed the complexion of the match with the South African opener smashing a brilliant century off 53 balls, hitting seven boundaries and as many sixes, reaching his century in his first match for the Mumbai Indians. De Kock found a good partner in Naman Dhir as they raised 123 runs for the third wicket partnership, helping the Mumbai Indians recover from a precarious s12/2. De Kock was the more adventurous and made the most of the run-out opportunity that Shreyas Iyer missed, unable to execute a direct hit. QDK, who started with a superb six off the first ball he aced, reached his fifty off 28 balls. He was quite severe on Chahal, smashing him for a couple of sixes off the mystery spinner. Naman Dhir, who was promoted to No.4 and enjoyed a slice of luck, put down by Chahal early in his knock, hammered a half-century, making the most of his chance. He smashed Vijaykumar Vyshak for the two fours and a six off the last over of Power-play. They then smashed Chahal for two sixes and a four as they raised 100 runs off their partnership. Dhir completed his fifty off. De Kock continued to prosper; he stepped up a gear after completing his half-century, smashing Shashank Singh for back-to-back sixes and reaching the three-figure mark in 53 balls, smashing seven fours and as many sixes in his superb knock. Mumbai lost skipper Hardik Pandya (14 of 12), to a spectacular catch orchestrated by PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer, who leapt into the air, caught the ball with the tip of his left hand, exchanged it to his throwing arm and lobbed it in inside the field while in air outside the rope for Xavier Bartlett to complete the catch. The sensation catch, which he celebrated in front of his home crowd animatedly, would be listed among the best of this season and helped PBKS restrict Mumbai Indians to below 200.. While trying to force the pace, Sherfane Rutherford fell cheaply for one, as Arshdeep Singh disturbed his stumps for his third wicket of the night. De Kock continued to hold one end up and, despite losing Tilak Varma in the final over to a runout, helped the team finish close to the 200-run mark. While trying to force the pace, Sherfane Rutherford fell cheaply for one, as Arshdeep Singh disturbed his stumps for his third wicket of the night.

IPL 2026: Rohit Set To Miss Next Few Matches For MI, Confirms Skipper Hardik Pandya
Indian Premier League: Talismanic opener Rohit Sharma is likely to miss the next couple of matches as the Mumbai Indians attempt to haul themselves back on the rails after suffering three successive defeats in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. That Rohit was not fully fit after suffering an injury to his right hamstring in the match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 12 was confirmed on Thursday, just before the start of MI's match with Punjab Kings. At the toss, skipper Hardik Pandya confirmed that Rohit Sharma will miss the next couple of matches at least. Rohit misses out; he'll take a couple of games to see where he is, said Pandya at the toss, indicating that Rohit has maybe not fully recovered from the injury and MI would not take a risk by rushing him into the middle.

He reportedly underwent scans and had light training and batting practice on the eve of the Mumbai Indians' match against the Punjab Kings.

IPL 2026: MI Debutant Mayank Rawat Comes Up The Hard Way Through The Ranks To IPL
Indian Premier League: One man's loss turns out to be another man's gain as Delhi all-rounder Mayank Rawat will vouch on Thursday. An upset stomach for New Zealand skipper Mitchell Santner paved the way for an opportunity, allowing the five-time champions to hand Rawat his Indian Premier League debut against the Punjab Kings in Match 24 at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. The Delhi-based all-rounder, who bowls off-spin, has come up through the ranks, impressing the MI talent scouts with consistent performances in the Delhi Premier League. Rawat was picked by the Mumbai Indians in the last IPL Auction at a base price of INR 30 lakh and is now sharing the dressing room with some of Indias leading players. He also has the opportunity to learn from the words of wisdom from international stars like Santner and AM Ghazanfar, besides batting greats like Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock and Suryakumar Yadav, the India T20 captain who led the country to victory in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2006 a few weeks back. Rawat's journey to the Indian Premier League reflects years of persistence through the domestic cricket system. The 26-year-old Rawat started his cricketing journey in Delhi under coach Rajesh Nagar, who has mentored him since 2011. A product of structured grassroots development, Rawat trained consistently through school and academy cricket, receiving strong support from his coaching setup during his formative years. He showed early promise in age-group cricket, notably scoring 220 runs against Haryana at the Under-14 level and later producing another remarkable innings of 244 runs. However, he did not get enough chances to play early on, as despite these performances, consistent selection opportunities did not immediately follow. Rawat faced several years of limited chances and fluctuating form. However, he continued to work on his skills during this period, trying to improve his all-round game.

Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer said he spoke to some players and said that with the dew coming in, the pitch will play better, which was why he opted to bowl first. So far, so good, we've got a brilliant start. That's all a captain can ask for. Our combination has been splendid. I ask the team to be proactive throughout. It's easy to become complacent; you have to stay in the zone. Pitch looks dry, but players have said it gets better with dew, he said. MI captain Hardik Pandya, too, would have bowled first. We were looking to bowl first as well, but a good toss to lose. Time to play good cricket and get a win. We've played good cricket, but have lost big moments.

T20 World Cup: South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt on Thursday hailed the raw power of young batting all-rounder Kayla Reyneke, describing her as a rare talent who could provide the X-factor in the Proteas' middle-order ahead of the five-match T20I series against India starting on Friday. Kayla, 20, is enjoying a dream start to her international career - hitting a six off the last ball to make the Proteas win in her T20I debut against Pakistan. On ODI debut against New Zealand, Kayla was calmness personified winning the game again by hitting a six off the last ball. Kayla's very exciting. Obviously her being an all-rounder, she bowls pretty good off-spin, which is something this group has been looking for a while as a true off-spinner. Obviously we have Sune (Luus) as well, but then Kayla just adds a bit of a different dynamic, bowls a little bit differently to what she does. So it just helps with the balance and then to have her coming in and to be able to smash sixes like that at will is something that you don't find every day and it's pretty rare, especially in a youngster like that. That raw power is pretty hard to teach and I've been trying to work on it for a long time, but she seems to just have it. So very exciting, very explosive and destructive player, and hopefully she's able to do that for many more games for us, said Laura, while replying to a question from IANS in the pre-series press conference. The Proteas are entering a new era with a revamped coaching staff, including batting coach Andrew Puttick, who played one ODI for the Proteas and was with Afghanistan set-up as well, and fielding coach Mduduzi Mbhatha. Laura believes these fresh voices will help the team move past their recent string of final-over heartbreaks and prepare well for 2026 Womens T20 World Cup. Obviously big changes for us. I think the coaches that were with us were with us for a very long time, and had a very successful time with us in making all of those World Cup finals while we were working together. But, as Mandla (Mashimbyi, head coach) said, it's just about fresh voices and fresh perspectives in the team. The people who have come in is people that we have worked with before... so not entirely new. So I think that sort of made it a bit easier to settle in the last few days, she added. The series also marks the first meeting between the two sides since India edged South Africa in the 2025 ODI World Cup final in Navi Mumbai. Very exciting rivalry. Obviously, in the World Cup, different format, but we beat them in the group stages, and then lost the final, which was disappointing. Haven't played them since that final, obviously, so definitely looking forward to a bit of a rematch. I think we play a lot of cricket against them, so we know what they're about, and sort of already have plans in place for some of their players, which is nice, she said. Addressing her own batting position, Wolvaardt remained flexible about whether she would open or play at number three, especially with the opening combination yet to be firmed up. Personally, I don't really mind. I think the roles don't change too much, and number three is something that I've done a bit this year and last year at the different leagues. I prefer both, who have their pros and cons. Whichever thing the coach wants me to do in each series, I'm happy to do. The skipper was also full of praise for Annerie Dercksen, who was a standout performer in T20Is in New Zealand. Derksen's been amazing. She's come into some really good form lately... She really looks to be in control of her batting, which is very exciting. She's been great around that 4-5 position in T20s. She has that power later on as well, which is cool if she's able to construct in innings and then really take the game on at the end. Reflecting on the technical adjustments needed after the New Zealand tour, Laura pointed out the need for better execution in the bowling department and a more proactive approach with the bat. We are trying to fix things a little bit and identified where we've gone wrong. With the ball, a lot of it, I would say, is a bit of execution. The plans were there, but then in every over, we just had one bad ball that wasn't to the field or that wasn't in line with what we were trying to do. So with the ball, the last few days, it's really just been about being precise in what we're trying to do and really land the ball in the areas that we want to for longer periods of time. With the bat, just got to be a bit more proactive, rotate a bit better, have a couple of different shots up our arse, and also the last few days, we've been pretty precise on different shots that we want to play and sort of drilled them pretty hard. So hopefully they're able to come out in the games. Also, just a bit of a positioning thing with the bat as well. Some of us maybe lose our shapes just a little bit. So we just really try to zone in on that and hopefully that'll be good for the game. So with the ball, the last few days, it's really just been about being precise in what we're trying to do and really land the ball in the areas that we want to for longer periods of time. With the bat, just got to be a bit more proactive, rotate a bit better, have a couple of different shots up our arse, and also the last few days, we've been pretty precise on different shots that we want to play and sort of drilled them pretty hard. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I think we saw Tumi really swinging the ball in New Zealand, which was exciting. Ayanda had some good pace and bounce. It's just all about bringing that together and finding the right combination and hopefully we're able to execute a little bit better this series, she concluded. Article Source: IANS
