IPL 2026: Khaleel Undergoes Successful Surgery As CSK Provides Positive Update

Chennai Super Kings: Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have provided a positive update on injured left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed, confirming that he has successfully undergone surgery after being ruled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 due to a quadricep injury. Khaleel has undergone a successful surgery! Wishing him strength and a quick recovery, the franchise said in a social media update. The 28-year-old fast bowler was earlier ruled out of the remainder of the tournament on April 16 after sustaining a right quadricep injury during CSKs match against Kolkata Knight Riders at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Khaleel had to leave the field midway through his spell after pulling up during his run-up. While it initially appeared to be cramps, he was seen clutching his right leg in pain and could not continue. His over was completed by teammate Gurjapneet Singh. Subsequent medical assessments revealed a tear in the quadriceps, a serious injury for a fast bowler. Sources had indicated earlier that surgery might be required, considering the nature of the damage and the recovery time involved.

He had been a key part of the teams pace attack, and losing him further weakens an already stretched bowling unit.

'I've Never Spoken About Him Publicly; He Made An Ad...': Sreesanth Says Harbhajan Made 1 Cr With 'slapgate' Advert

Kings XI Punjab: Eighteen years after the infamous IPL 'slapgate' incident, former India pacer Sreesanth made a scathing attack on ex-spinner Harbhajan Singh, accusing him of making profit from the incident. Sreesanth comments referred to the recent advertisement for a retail seller, where Harbhajan is yelling at a group of people trying to fix electronic equipment by beating them; Sahi se thappad lagao, sab theek ho jata hain (Slap them properly. You can fix everything.) The former pacer stated that he never spoke about Harbhajan or the incident in any public interview but when the advertisement came out, it infuriated him and he instantly blocked Harbhajan on Instagram. I have never spoken about Bhajji in any interview. This is going to be the first time. Until recently there were no problems, but he made an ad about it once again. He made around Rs 80 lakh to Rs 1 crore off it. He then called me and asked me to put a story on it. I told him, I'll forgive but I'll never forget, Sreesanth told Malayalam news outlet 'Mathrubhumi' If someone wrongs you, you should forgive them but never forget. If you forget, they will do the same thing again. He is the biggest example for that. There is no doubt about that. I have no relationship with that person. I used to call him a brother. But in that last 1 or 2 months he did that ad and now I have blocked him on Instagram, he added. My parents have taught me to forgive but never forget. I don't have any complaints against him, nor do I need him. May God bless him and his family. In many interviews, even with Ashwin, he talked about my daughter. People will think oh what a great person he is. He might be a great person. But for me from my time playing for India to now, in my opinion, it's all an act. That act is something Sreesanth doesn't accept, said Sreesanth. Sreesanth was on the receiving end of the infamous Slapgate incident in the inaugural 2008 edition of the tournament. During a match between the Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab, Harbhajan and Sreesanth got into a heated altercation which ended with the spinner slapping his national team compatriot. The incident caught the media's attention and sparked widespread criticism of Harbhajans behaviour, and he later apologised for the physical altercation. The incident led to a disciplinary hearing and Harbhajan was banned for the rest of the season. My parents have taught me to forgive but never forget. I don't have any complaints against him, nor do I need him. May God bless him and his family. In many interviews, even with Ashwin, he talked about my daughter. People will think oh what a great person he is. He might be a great person. But for me from my time playing for India to now, in my opinion, it's all an act.

Suryakumar, Iyer, Dube Headline T20 Mumbai League 2026 Retention List

Triumph Knights Mumbai North East: The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has unveiled a star-studded list of player retentions featuring India captain Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer and Shivam Dube for the T20 Mumbai League 2026. With elite performers such as U-19 World Cup-winning captain Ayush Mhatre, Shardul Thakur, Tushar Deshpande and Sarfaraz Khan retained, and Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ajinkya Rahane allotted as Icon Players, franchises have secured a formidable core, underlining the leagues growing stature and competitive edge. Each of the eight teams retained three players, striking a strategic balance between international experience and emerging domestic talent as the league builds towards a high-octane fourth season. Triumph Knights Mumbai North East have retained Suryakumar (Icon Player), who led India to the T20 World Cup 2026 title, alongside Ayush and Suryansh Shedge, while last seasons runners-up SoBo Mumbai Falcons have secured Shreyas (Icon Player), Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Harsh Aghav. Defending champions Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals have retained Tushar (Icon Player), with Siddhesh Lad and Rohan Raje forming a settled core. Bandra Blasters have been allotted Yashasvi as their Icon Player, with Suved Parkar and Dhrumil Matkar also retained, while ARCS Andheri have retained Shivam (Icon Player) alongside Pragnesh Kanpillewar and Deepak Shetty.

Several of the retained players are proven performers in the Indian Premier League and on the international stage, adding significant depth and star appeal to the competition. MCA President Ajinkya Naik said, This is a strong statement of intent from all franchises. The retention of some of the biggest names in Indian cricket reflects the strength and credibility the T20 Mumbai League has built over the years. At the same time, the opportunity for young and emerging players to share the dressing room with such established stars is invaluable for their growth and development. With such a high-quality core in place, we are set for a season that will raise the bar in terms of competitiveness and overall standard of cricket. Rajdip Gupta, Chairman of the League Governing Council, added, These retentions underline the strategic clarity of franchises and the depth of talent available in Mumbai. The mix of established stars and emerging players will make this one of the most exciting seasons yet. The retention strategy clearly reflects the intent of teams to build continuity while maintaining a high-performance environment. Since its inception in 2018, the T20 Mumbai League has emerged as a key platform for talent identification and progression, with several players going on to represent Mumbai, feature in the Indian Premier League and earn national honours. With the retention phase complete, focus now shifts to the upcoming player auction, as franchises look to build on their strong core and assemble squads capable of competing for the title in what promises to be a blockbuster 2026 season. The dates and details for the auction will be announced soon.

KL Rahul Eyes Must-Win Approach as Delhi Capitals Gear Up for Crucial Home Clashes

Delhi Capitals (DC) wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul has emphasised the importance of maintaining a must-win mindset as the side prepares for crucial back-to-back home fixtures against the Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at their home ground- the Arun Jaitley Stadium. DC are currently placed sixth in the points table with three wins and three losses from six matches. They began their campaign with consecutive victories over Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians, before suffering back-to-back defeats against Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. While they bounced back with an away win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru, a third loss in their campaign in their previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad has left them looking to regain consistency. Personally, I always take every game as a must-win game and for me I'm pumped that the next two games are against teams that are sitting very comfortably at 1 and 2 in the table, Rahul said in a video shared by Star Sports on X ahead of their clash against PBKS. Highlighting the value of testing themselves against the strongest sides, he added, So, like I said, you want to challenge yourself against the best teams and for us as a team, I think beating RCB and Chinnaswamy gave us a lot of confidence because they're a really good team. Punjab Kings, who currently sit atop the standings, have been one of the standout teams this season, and Rahul acknowledged the challenge they pose. Punjab right now are playing some exceptional cricket. They seem unbeatable at the moment. So, that's what is challenging and that's what is exciting for us to take it on ourselves to see how we can put pressure on Punjab early in the game and see how we can get two points. The wicketkeeper-batter stressed that wins against top teams could significantly boost the squads belief and standing. That will give us tremendous confidence and then from there, we'll go on to RCB and if we can get back-to-back wins, that will obviously give us points and help us sit pretty in the table but also give us that confidence within the group that there's no doubt that we have the skill and we have the talent and we have everything that is required for us to be a champion team, he said.
