IPL 2026: Schedule Delays, Venue Confusion and Player Availability Raise Questions
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, branded as TATA IPL 2026 and the 19th edition of the event, is scheduled to be played from March 28 to May 31, with 10 teams competing in 84 matches. On March 11, BCCI announced the schedule for the first phase, to be played from March 28 to April 12 for the first 20 games. Top 10 facts related to the event: 1. Delay in schedule announcement: The reason is that the BCCI waited on two crucial issues: a. Confirmation of polling dates in multiple states like Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Assam. The clash with the election dates is not a new feature for the IPL. b. Final decision from two franchises (Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru) on their home venues. Rajasthan Royals were facing uncertainty over the use of Jaipurs Sawai Mansingh Stadium, due to unresolved administrative issues within the Rajasthan Cricket Association. Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the defending champions, although received conditional clearance from the Karnataka government to use the M Chinnaswamy Stadium (following a tragic stampede at last years victory celebration that left 11 fans dead), the final approval was awaited. Accordingly, the BCCI decided not to announce the full fixture list until polling timelines are clear. They unveiled the first phase of the IPL 2026 calendar. Interestingly, at the time of the announcement of this schedule for the Phase 1 matches, the election dates were not known, but when the election (and counting) dates were announced by the EC, it was found that none of the match dates clashed with the election dates. Did the BCCI already know the election schedule? 3. Few non-team base, IPL venues have very interesting connections: Raipur, Chhattisgarh: IPL returns to this venue (6 matches played between 2013 and 2016) as BCCI Treasurer Prabhtej Singh Bhatia is from the state. Interestingly, Raipur was home for Delhi Capitals earlier, and now its a home for RCB for two games. The distance between Raipur and the teams home city, Bangalore, is approximately 1013 km by air (flight time roughly 2 hours) and approximately 1300 km by road (over 24 hours drive). Vizag: One of the DC owners is from the city, and political influence is there, and the city gets two DC home games. So far, 17 IPL matches have been played at the venue and some were non-DC matches. The distance between Vizag and the team's home city Delhi is approximately 1360 km by air (flight time roughly 2 hours) and approximately 1815 km by road (over 30 hours drive). Guwahati: City of BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia, one RR co-owner and gets three RR big home games. So far 6 IPL matches have been played at the venue. The distance between Guwahati and the team's home city, Jaipur, is approximately 1500 km by air (flight time roughly 3+ hours) and approximately 1550 km by road (over 38 hours drive). 4. RCB plays five of its home games at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium after having got the nod to play at the venue. The IPL opening match, one playoff match and the final will also be held at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. An elated KSCA President and former Test pacer Venktesh Prasad said, Great to have the IPL back at this iconic venue. It is a great achievement for us at the KSCA to make this happen in the span of just two and a half months. This is a bigger achievement than my five-wicket haul against England (Lords, 1996). 5. Shift from normal schedule: Usually, the champion and runner-up venues are given for the next seasons IPL playoffs and final, which in this case would be New Chandigarh and Bengaluru. The New Chandigarh stadium (the home ground of PBKS), is scheduled to host an Afghanistan Test, immediately after the IPL, hence they missed this years important matches. 6. Opening match of the season: Starting from 2008 till now, a total of 15 different teams have played in the IPL. During all these years, the opening match of the IPL has never happened without at least one of these four teams: MI, CSK, KKR and RCB. However, for the first time, neither Mumbai Indians nor Chennai Super Kings are playing the first game of the IPL season, in 2 consecutive editions:. 2025 KKR vs RCB 2026- RCB vs SRH 7. The schedule of the first three matches of this season is very interesting: Match 1 on 28 March: RCB v SRH repeat of the 2016 final. The last time SRH and RCB played the IPL season opener was on 5th April 2017. Match 2 on 29 March: MI v KKR - 5-time champions v 3-time champions Match 3 on 30 March: RR v CSK repeat of 1st ever IPL final 8. The Big three: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni will be in action in the first three matches. 9. Title sponsor: Tata Group, under a 5-year contract (20242028) for Rs. 2500 crore (US$300 million). 10. Broadcaster: JioStar's Star Sports and JioHotstar as they hold the satellite and digital broadcasting rights for the period 20232027 cycle respectively. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The sheer number of absences leading into the IPL this year is also unprecedented. It appears that the teams are scrambling for replacements rather than getting their squads settled.

Narayana Health City Completes 100+ Robotic Cardiac Surgeries in a Single Month Advanced robotic technology is enabling surgeons to perform complex heart procedures with unprecedented precision and minimally invasive approaches. Narayana Health City has successfully completed over 100 robotic cardiac surgeries in a single month, marking a significant milestone in advanced heart care. The achievement reflects not only exceptional surgical expertise and clinical precision, but also the seamless integration of cutting-edge robotic technology to deliver consistently strong patient outcomes across adult and paediatric cases. At Narayana Health’s Robotic Cardiac Surgery Milestone Event (L to R): Dr. Rahul Rao; Dr. Praveen R Tambrallimath; Dr. Raghu MG; Dr. Thiruthani Kumaran M M; Dr. Kiran K Among the complex procedures performed during the month was the case of a 45-year-old patient who had previously undergone Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), commonly known as heart bypass surgery, and later presented with a tumour in the upper chamber of the heart that can obstruct blood flow if left untreated. In patients who have already undergone bypass surgery, reopening the chest through a conventional redo sternotomy can be particularly risky, as the existing grafts (blood vessels surgically connected to reroute blood around blocked arteries) may be damaged during the procedure. In this case, the patient’s earlier bypass grafts were still functioning well, making a traditional surgical approach potentially dangerous. To reduce this risk, the surgical team adopted a robotic assisted minimally invasive approach. The operation was performed through a small incision on the right side of the chest using robotic instruments and high-definition visualisation, allowing access to the heart without reopening the breastbone. Doctors performing robotic-assisted heart surgery at Narayana Health City, showcasing precision technology and advanced cardiac care in action through minimally invasive surgery Dr. Raghu M G, Senior Consultant – Cardiothoracic Surgery , said, “ The patient was supported on a heart–lung machine through peripheral blood vessels, and the procedure was carried out using a specialised technique that allows the heart to temporarily quiver instead of being completely stopped using conventional clamping methods. Using robotic precision, the team accessed the left atrium and successfully removed the tumour while preserving the surrounding heart structures and valve function. The patient recovered well following the surgery and was discharged in stable condition .” Another notable case involved a 46-year-old patient whose mitral valve had become severely narrowed due to rheumatic heart disease, affecting normal blood flow through the heart. Using a robotic approach, the surgical team replaced the diseased mitral valve with a mechanical mitral valve. The advanced system provided high-definition 3D visualisation and enhanced precision, allowing the team to operate with greater control inside the heart. Dr. Thiruthani Kumaran M M, Senior Consultant – Adult Cardiac Surger y, explained, “ The robotic platform provides exceptional surgical precision, allowing surgeons to operate with greater control while avoiding conventional sternotomy (traditional open-chest surgery through the breastbone). For patients, this approach can translate into less post-operative pain, reduced blood loss, quicker recovery and improved cosmetic outcomes. The procedure was completed successfully, and the patient was discharged in stable condition .” Another remarkable case involved a 69-year-old woman diagnosed with coronary artery disease along with a rare condition called dextrocardia with situs inversus, where the heart and other internal organs are positioned as a mirror image of the normal anatomy. Evaluation confirmed significant blockages in the heart’s blood vessels along with reduced heart function. Despite the anatomical complexity, the cardiac team performed a robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass surgery. The robotic platform provided enhanced visualisation and surgical precision, which was particularly important in this case because the patient’s heart was positioned on the opposite side of the chest. Robotic cardiac surgery is transforming the way we treat coronary artery disease. In a recent case involving a 57-year-old gentleman with complex coronary artery disease, our team successfully performed three bypass grafts using robotic-assisted techniques. With regards to this, Dr. Kiran K, Senior Consultant – Adult Cardiac Surgery , said, “ This advanced approach enables us to treat critical blockages with high precision through very small incisions, avoiding the need for a large chest opening or cutting the breastbone. One of the major advantages of this technique is the minimalistic scar, as the surgery is performed through small keyhole incisions without cutting the bone (sternum). For patients, this translates into less pain, minimal blood loss, faster recovery, and an earlier return to normal life. With advancements in robotic technology and growing surgical expertise, we are now able to offer minimally invasive solutions even for complex coronary artery disease, while replicating the same results as a conventional CABG .” Dr. Gagan Khullar, Consultant – Adult Cardiac Surgery , shared, “ Operating on a patient with dextrocardia and situs inversus presents unique challenges because the heart and surrounding structures are positioned differently from typical anatomy. The robotic platform provides excellent visualisation and precision, allowing us to adapt safely to these anatomical variations. The surgery was completed successfully, and the patient had a smooth recovery and was discharged in stable condition .” These cases reflect the robust infrastructure and technological integration at Narayana Health’s Cardiology Centre of Excellence. Robotic cardiac surgery requires close coordination between surgical, anaesthesia and technology teams. From pre-operative planning to post-operative recovery, every step is carefully streamlined to ensure precision, safety and faster patient recovery, enabling the centre to scale advanced heart care without compromising on quality. The milestone also highlights Narayana Health City’s growing reach beyond regional boundaries. Of the patients who underwent robotic cardiac surgery during the month. 35% were from Karnataka 15% from Tamil Nadu 10% from West Bengal 10% from Bangladesh 8% from Jharkhand 8% from Assam 5% from Andhra Pradesh, followed by states of Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Tripura. This diverse geographical mix underscores the growing confidence patients across India and neighbouring Bangladesh place in the centre’s advanced robotic cardiac capabilities. With continued advancements in robotic cardiac surgery, Narayana Health remains committed to making complex heart procedures less invasive and more accessible, while delivering precise, patient-centric care to individuals and families across India and neighbouring regions.
