Defending Champions MSC Maratha Royals Unveil New Jersey Ahead Of T20 Mumbai League 2026
Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals: Will the T20 Mumbai League 2026 unearth someone like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi? Does MSC Maratha Royals have someone like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi? Will your young players play aggressively like Sooryavanshi? These were some of the questions put to Siddhesh Lad and Amit Dani, captain and coach respectively of the Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals, the defending champions of the T20 Mumbai League 2026, as they unveiled the jersey in Mumbai on Thursday, along with the owners of the franchise. With Rajasthan Royals storming into the playoffs of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, the 15-year-old Sooryavanshi is the flavour of the season for his sensational power-hitting that has left everyone mesmerised. On Wednesday, Sooryavanshi hammered 94 off 28 balls, scoring 600-plus runs at a strike rate of 230, hitting as many sixes as Chris Gayle. Everyone wants more of his ilk playing in every franchise league in the country. Lad said the T20 game has evolved over the last couple of years, with aggressive play at the top becoming the norm, leading to teams regularly posting scores of 250-plus. He said that if the weather does not intervene, the T20 Mumbai League may also see teams posting scores of 200-250. Last season, we had monsoon setting early, and the wickets were a bit damp. Still, teams managed to score around 190. I expect in the first half of the MPL 2026, we may have teams going past 200, said Lad. Coach Amit Dani said Mumbai has produced many great batters and, in recent times, has seen players like Ayush Mhatre, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Prithvi Shaw, all very aggressive players. Their biggest asset this season would be pacer Tushar Deshpande, who is expected to be their top attraction. Tushar Deshpande will be available for the entire season. Besides being the main bowler for the team, he will be an inspiration for the young bowlers in the team as they can learn from him, said Amit Dani, the player who has played for the Delhi Capitals, Chennai Super Kings, and Rajasthan Royals. Both Lad and Dani said the Maratha Royals have retained 10 players from the title-winning side and added some new faces to the squad, assembling a strong side. Maratha Royals have been in camp since May 4, prepared well for the upcoming season, and played some practice matches. The jersey unveiling was held at a special launch event in Mumbai, attended by Team owners Kapil Baheti and Alisha Baheti, along with Mayank Khandwala and Raj Khandwala, MSC Maratha Royals CEO Parag More, besides captain Lad, and coach Dani. MSC Maratha Royals new jersey is themed around The Royal Roar and blends traditional regional ferocity with contemporary sports aesthetics. The jersey includes metallic gold claw marks reflecting aggression and attacking gameplay; subtle tiger-stripe textures integrated into the fabric to reinforce the predatory theme; a phantom tiger graphic subtly embedded to add depth and edge as an intense hidden detail; a striking heritage orange upper body representing energy, passion, and Maharashtras valor; midnight navy sleeves and lower body indicating composure, resilience and strength and liquid gold accent detailing injects a sense of royalty and championship ambitions. As defending champions, Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals campaign this season draws from Mumbais raw street energy, hip-hop, and familiarity with Bollywood. Anchored by the tagline Bhag Bhag Bhag, Aya Sher, it celebrates the citys confidence and fearless self-expression, while signalling the powerful return of the champions to the league stage. The tiger remains a symbol of the teams ferocity and dominance, mirroring the relentless spirit of Mumbai itself. Speaking at the unveiling, Kapil Baheti & Alisha Baheti, Owners, MSC Maratha Royals, said: As defending champions, we wanted this jersey and campaign to stand for more than just cricket. It reflects the fearless attitude of our team and the spirit of Mumbai. This is not just a design refresh, but a clear statement of intent to play bold, fearless cricket this season. The Royal Roar is designed to connect strongly with our fans and capture the energy we bring to the field. Mayank Khandwala & Raj Khandwala, Owners, MSC Maratha Royals, added: Defending a title brings a different level of challenge, and thats what drives us. What weve built at MSC Maratha Royals goes beyond winning; it's a strong culture and identity rooted in Mumbai.

Sooryavanshi Has Shown Throughout IPL 2026 That Pressure Simply Doesnt Affect Him: Kumble
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India captain Anil Kumble praised teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, opining that the most striking aspect of his season has been his complete freedom from pressure, even in the biggest moments, after the Rajasthan Royals opener delivered a stunning match-winning performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2026 Eliminator. The 15-year-old blasted 97 off just 29 balls as RR posted a massive total before sealing a 47-run victory at New Chandigarh to advance to Fridays Qualifier 2, where theyll face Gujarat Titans in what will be a repeat of the IPL 2022 final. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has shown throughout the season that pressure simply doesnt seem to affect him, and this innings was another example of that. In just 29 balls, he completely changed the direction of the game and put Sunrisers Hyderabad under immense pressure right from the start, Kumble told JioStar. Sooryavanshis innings dismantled Hyderabads bowling plans almost immediately. Despite captain Pat Cummins and his attack attempting different lengths and field adjustments, Rajasthan stormed through the Power-play and never allowed SRH to regain control. Kumble pointed out how quickly the young batter forced Hyderabad to abandon their original plans. Pat Cummins and the bowlers came in with plans, but within the first couple of overs those plans were already disrupted because they simply didnt know where to bowl to him. To play an innings of this magnitude in a knockout game at the age of 15 is extraordinary, he said. The former India spinner also credited Sooryavanshis consistency across the season as a major reason behind RRs run to Qualifier 2. One of the biggest reasons Rajasthan Royals are now in Qualifier 2 is because of the impact he has had throughout the tournament, and holding the Orange Cap at this stage only highlights how remarkable his season has been, the former spinner stated. Sooryavanshis knock once again underlined his extraordinary campaign, with the teenager already being regarded as one of the breakout stars of IPL 2026. His innings against Hyderabad included a 16-ball fifty that equalled Suresh Rainas record for the fastest half-century in an IPL playoff match. Looking ahead to Qualifier 2 against GT, Kumble believes Rajasthans current momentum and confidence make them a dangerous side. Gujarat Titans had actually controlled large phases of Qualifier 1 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru before things slipped away in the latter half of the game. A few dropped catches, extras, and the sudden collapse after Sai Sudharsans dismissal put them under immense pressure, he stated. Kumble added that Gujarats approach against Sooryavanshi could ultimately decide the contest as he said, But heading into Qualifier 2, a lot could depend on how they handle Vaibhav Sooryavanshi because Rajasthan Royals confidence is extremely high at the moment. They are coming into this game after three consecutive wins against quality sides like Lucknow Super Giants, Mumbai Indians at Wankhede, and now Sunrisers Hyderabad. Gujarat Titans had actually controlled large phases of Qualifier 1 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru before things slipped away in the latter half of the game. A few dropped catches, extras, and the sudden collapse after Sai Sudharsans dismissal put them under immense pressure, he stated.
