Riding On A Dream Run In 2026, Satghare Hopes T20 Mumbai Women's League Unearths 'fearless Youngsters'

T20 Mumbai Women: From going unsold at the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 auction to winning the trophy this year with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and then making her debut at the iconic WACA Stadium in Perth - India pacer Sayali Satghare has had a few months that even the most vivid dreams could not have scripted. Now, Sayali, whos coming off playing for West Zone in the Senior Womens Inter Zonal Multi-Day Trophy, is channelling that momentum into something she believes could transform women's cricket in Mumbai -- the inaugural T20 Mumbai Women's League set to take place later this year. For now, Sayali cheerfully reflects on how wonderful 2026 has been for her. It began with her replacing Ellyse Perry in RCBs squad, after all of her previous India appearances came in 2025. Partnering with the in-form Lauren Bell, Sayali was useful with her swing bowling and picked up nine wickets in six games as RCB got their second title. Honestly, the last few months have been like a dream. Like going unsold in the auction and then getting a call as a replacement player for RCB was huge. I was just excited to be part of the squad. Then I never expected at the end that I would be winning the trophy. Initially, I was just happy to be there and be part of WPL. So, to win that, and I have always, always loved RCB as a team and been a fan of them. So, to win the trophy with RCB was really, really special. Then, to get that Test team call-up was like a cherry on the top. It's because eventually the dream has been to represent India. Then making the Test debut at Perth, it's a dream for any fast bowler, and that was a dream come true, literally, Sayali told IANS in an exclusive conversation on Saturday. Sayali, who showed tremendous composure under pressure on debut, admitted nerves were part of the equation before settling into her rhythm in Perth. After India were bowled out for 198 on day one, Sayali posed tough questions to Georgia Voll, before getting some prodigious swing to crash into Georgia Volls leg stump. After beating Ellyse twice in quick succession, Sayali nearly trapped Alyssa Healy lbw in her second spell, only for the review to show the balls impact was outside off-stump. She did not have to wait long, however, as Alyssa, playing her last international game, gave a catch to backward point in the next over. I think we had our bowling innings start at night. So, I knew the ball would swing. It was just about putting it in the right areas and letting the pitch and conditions help in how much it can happen. Honestly, yes, I was very nervous at the start. But then, as the game went on, I just got relaxed and then just had to focus on what I needed to do, where I needed to bowl, and yes, I think that's what helped me get wickets also, she added. When she didnt get many chances to play for India, Sayali credited the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) camps in Bengaluru and India A exposure for sharpening her skills. The camps and India A exposure that we had as we went to Australia two years back for the tour - the exposure and experience always helps you in knowing where you stand and what you need to improve for going forward to play at the highest level. Also, the CoE is a great, great place to be. I mean, there are a lot of facilities, and they have different kinds of wickets. So, you can prepare for all the conditions that you will face, and definitely, those things have really helped me now. Then you just, when you know what you need to work on, you just keep your head down and keep working towards it, she said. Turning her focus to the inaugural season of the three-team T20 Mumbai Women's League, Sayali sounded emphatic about its importance for the next generation of Mumbai cricketers. Yes, it is a great initiative by MCA, and it's a big opportunity for all players to showcase their skill and talent at a bigger stage, which will eventually help them grow as individuals and open more doors and give them more opportunities to eventually represent India and play in the WPL as well. Drawing parallels with the men's competition that has given opportunities to talented players since being restarted last year, Sayali further stated, This is the inaugural season for Mumbai - I mean for women's. But as we have seen in the men's game, they have got a lot of exciting talent through this league. So I'm sure the same thing will happen with women's cricket in the city as well. We will definitely find a lot of upcoming youngsters who are fearless and who can help Mumbai cricket win more trophies in the future. In that way, it's a great initiative to unearth new talents across the city. I feel there is a lot of talent in the city, but sometimes they don't get that exposure. But this league is a huge platform for them also to gain that. With the men's team having claimed the Ranji Trophy a record 42 times, Sayali sees the women's game as being at the dawn of a similarly storied era. For the uninitiated, Mumbai won the Senior Womens T20 Trophy in 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons, and emerged victorious in the 2026 Women's U-15 One Day Trophy. Yes, definitely, this leagues commencement will just be the start of creating an even bigger legacy as the men have won the Ranji Trophy 43 times. So, we are looking forward to doing the same in women's cricket, and this is just the start. The exposure and experience here and the overall opportunities will help players grow themselves, and that will eventually help Mumbai win more trophies in womens cricket competitions, she said. For aspiring women cricketers watching her remarkable rise, Sayalis message is rooted in the unglamorous virtues of patience and perseverance. I've always believed that there's no substitute for hard work. Even when you are not getting opportunities or when times are tough, you just have to keep doing your work. The exposure and experience here and the overall opportunities will help players grow themselves, and that will eventually help Mumbai win more trophies in womens cricket competitions, she said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score You just keep working hard, keep improving yourself day by day. There is a lot of exposure now. So if you keep doing well, then definitely you'll get more opportunities going forward - like playing in WPL, and even for India. But for that, you need to have strong basics and have the right mindset to keep learning and keep growing, she concluded. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: Abhishek Sharma Scripts History With Fastest Fifty For SRH

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Indian batter Abhishek Sharma made history with a stunning 15-ball half-century, the fastest ever for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), during their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Saturday. The attacking left-hander broke the previous franchise record of 16 balls, which he had set against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in 2024. The same record had also been matched by his opening partner, Travis Head, twice that season against Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Batting first after losing the toss, Abhishek started carefully but soon picked up pace and attacked the bowlers with confidence. The turning point of his innings came in the fifth over, bowled by Matthew Short, where he completely took control and smashed 25 runs, including three fours and two back-to-back sixes, as he reached his record-breaking fifty in style. Abhisheks brilliant innings finally ended in the eighth over when Jamie Overton bowled a hard-length delivery. Abhishek tried to guide it towards the third man but edged it behind, where Sanju Samson completed a sharp catch. Samson was confident and convinced the captain to review, which confirmed the dismissal.

IPL 2026: Pay Them Money, Ask Them Not To Return -- Kris Srikkanths Brutal Verdict On Chahar, Sharduls Performances

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.

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.

He looked in complete command and his shot selection was excellent. He ran singles and doubles well and played proper cricketing strokes. GTs Batting Coach Matthew Hayden would be proud of him. Gill controlled the middle overs against KKR and Gujarats win showed how KKR felt after the game. They simply had no answers to the way Gill batted, Tare noted. Article Source: IANS

I Felt Like The Father Of Fielding But Shreyas Catch Makes Me Feel Like grandfather Of Fielding: Jonty Rhodes

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.
