IPL 2026: PBKS Young Guns Are Fearless, Confident, Arent Into Overthinking, Says Shashank Singh

In Punjab Kings: Punjab Kings batter Shashank Singh says the fearlessness and confidence shown by the franchise's youngsters is their most striking aspect going into IPL 2026, adding that their ability to stay free of overthinking sets them apart from more experienced players, including himself. In Punjab Kings having a runners-up finish in 2025, their uncapped batters shining bright made for a very compelling story. They collectively scored 1,519 runs - the most by uncapped players of any single team in an IPL season. Left-handed opener Priyansh Arya announced himself on the biggest stage by making 475 runs at a strike rate of 179 and was one of only two uncapped centurions of the tournament. When you're talking about the youngsters, the best attribute is that they're fearless. Talking about my team Punjab, everyone is fearless Priyansh Arya, Nehal Wadhera, Suryansh Shedge, Musheer (Khan) and Harnoor (Singh Pannu). So whoever is coming in a young lot, they are very fearless. I mean, they don't think too much because I realise that we overthink at times - even I sometimes also overthink on things. But these people don't think much at all and that is the best part. The more calm these people can be or the less they think - I mean, no one is calm here - but the less they think, the better they are. So these people don't think too much, Shashank told IANS in the JioStar Press Room ahead of IPL 2026. Prabhsimran Singh smashed 549 runs at a strike rate of 160, while Nehal Wadhera played a full IPL season and made 369 runs in 15 innings. After captain Shreyas Iyer, PBKSs next-best run-getters were Arya, Prabhsimran, Wadhera and Shashank himself. The Arya-Prabhsimran opening pair, who later played for India A, amassed 532 runs together in IPL 2025 and will be expected to make big runs in the upcoming season. Yet the question heading into the new season is a familiar one: can the youngsters replicate their great returns from last year? Shashank, for one, has no doubt about it, though he added that the fearless prodigies of PBKS will mature with time. For example, Priyansh and Suryansh are batting in nets - if four shots don't get hit and they are beaten, I would start thinking that my shoulder didn't come forward, my foot didn't reach to the ball and what happened? But these people don't think anything - even if they hit five or six balls, it goes well as this is a game of confidence, at least at the IPL level. It's more about confidence - that is how confident you are. So the best part of these people is that they are very confident and very fearless. Obviously, someone like Priyansh or Suryansh or all these people are really at a different level in terms of talent. For example, you and I see them batting every day so I feel that they have so much talent so these people should play. Sometimes I feel that there is a little bit of a lack of maturity part and that too takes time. I think and feel that I am a mature cricketer. Sometimes I feel that they might mature as soon as possible, which is good for them. But the best part of these people is that they are very confident and fearless and don't think anything and arent over-thinkers. So it feels really good to chill with them, he elaborated. On the question of unfinished business from last season - PBKS fell six runs short of winning IPL 2025 - Shashank was emphatic that they will go all the way to the trophy this year. I know that on May 31st, we will be playing at the Chinnaswamy and lifting the cup. Its not just a feeling, I know this will happen. It's self belief and team belief. Everyone is on the same page. There is confidence in everyone. We will take it match by match because the ultimate aim is to get a trophy. If we keep thinking we reached the final last year, there will be a lot of pressure on us. So our immediate aim is to prepare for our first game against GT, then against CSK and KKR. To play the final and win is the ultimate goal. But we have to focus on every match, rectify our mistakes and that will be easier. We are very motivated and excited as we are the same group. We are better prepared than last year, he said. For Shashank personally, IPL 2026 is about reclaiming lost ground after a shoulder injury and finger fracture kept him away from a large part of domestic cricket season for his state Chhattisgarh. It is more of a mental game than a skill game during the IPL. The past year didnt go well for me as I had a spate of injuries and I couldnt play competitive cricket much. My biggest goal is to make an impact for the team. For Shashank personally, IPL 2026 is about reclaiming lost ground after a shoulder injury and finger fracture kept him away from a large part of domestic cricket season for his state Chhattisgarh.

All Indian Captains Make IPL 2026 Quite Significant From A Leadership Perspective, Says Paranjape

BCCI Cricket Advisory Committee: For the first time, all ten IPL franchises will be led by Indian captains in the upcoming season starting on Saturday, and Jatin Paranjape, the former cricketer and national selector, feels that fact makes the tournament worth watching from a leadership perspective. This IPL feels quite significant from a leadership point of view. For the first time in a while, you have all teams being led by Indian captains, Ruturaj Gaikwad at CSK, Axar Patel at Delhi Capitals, Shubman Gill at Gujarat Titans, Ajinkya Rahane at KKR, Rishabh Pant at Lucknow, Hardik Pandya at Mumbai Indians, Shreyas Iyer at Punjab Kings, Riyan Parag at Rajasthan Royals, Rajat Patidar at RCB, and Ishan Kishan at Sunrisers Hyderabad. What makes it interesting is that each of them is at a very different stage in their career, but for all of them, this is a pivotal phase. Some are new to the role, while others have a bit more experience, but all of them will have to handle responsibility over a long tournament, Paranjape told IANS on Friday, on the eve of the tournament opener between RCB and SRH, to be played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

IPL 2026: Sai Sudharsan Credits GT Culture For Success, Eyes Bigger Role This Season

Vijay Hazare Trophy: Gujarat Titans opener B Sai Sudharsan, who finished as the leading run-scorer of 2025 IPL, says stepping into a new identity and embracing responsibility was his biggest takeaway from a breakout campaign, adding that the franchises culture has also played a huge hand in his success in the ten-team competition. In IPL 2025, left-handed Sudharsan amassed 759 runs at an average of 54.2 and strike-rate of 156.17, which marked his best-ever season in four years of playing in the tournament. Cut to now, and Sudharsan is gearing up for the upcoming season after playing six Tests for India and recovering from a right seventh rib fracture injury sustained during the Vijay Hazare Trophy. I feel the biggest learning from that is just getting into a new identity and taking that responsibility. I feel that is the biggest learning I have taken from that season. Yes, it is with the efforts and hard work of what we have prepared for the last year - that was the result of all of that. But again, if we have to make our team win or give our best for the team, there's still a lot of work to be done and it will be done very well this year, Sudharsan told IANS in an exclusive conversation on Friday, ahead of GT starting their IPL 2026 campaign against Punjab Kings in New Chandigarh on March 31. When pressed on a specific moment that marked a turning point in his wonderful time with the bat last year, Sudharsan pointed to his unbeaten 108 against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, where he and Shubman Gill, who was not out on 93, chased down 200 without losing any wicket. As GT or at the top, me and Shubman, we were always looking at taking the game deep, playing the game deep and winning the games for the team. The biggest threshold was I think the DC game (in New Delhi) where we both finished the game by not even losing one wicket. So, that was the biggest threshold for us and it made us believe in ourselves more. I think that was the biggest turning point. Sudharsan also spoke warmly about what he has absorbed from batting alongside Gill over the past four seasons. It's actually a very good question. I have learnt a lot from Shubman to be honest. These four years, I have had quite a lot of partnerships and conversations as well of how we can improve and how we can look into the situations. I think I have worked on those things and I am looking forward for more of that. On the environment at GT, which is widely regarded for being relaxed and nurturing young talent, Sudharsan stated the freedom to express himself has been the single most important factor in his development. I think that has shaped my career for now because as a young kid coming into the team, there will be a lot of doubts, questions or things going in your mind. I think the environment here has helped me to express myself rather than resist myself to not do this or not do that. Rather, it was more about, oh, I like doing this and I would love to do this year. There was space and platform for that. From a mental point of view, I think it gave me so much freedom to express myself. Because of that, I was able to have conversations and be more natural and that, I think, has evolved over time. Sudharsan, known for mixing elegant and unorthodox strokeplay and ability to clear the ropes with immaculate ease, said the foundation of his much-improved power-hitting skills lay in getting the basics right. I think I focus a lot on basics a lot of very simple stuff which can be replicated against each and every ball. So, my biggest pointers like that is to time or to hold my position more, which eventually helps me both in white ball and red ball cricket, and especially in white ball games, where I can generate more power when I'm batting. He further explained that sharper decision-making, rather than a wholesale overhaul of his game, has brought him in line with the ever-evolving demands of the shortest format. Actually, I don't think so much that sport has evolved or so much that. But probably, I can answer it this way - yes, the sport has evolved for sure. But I think my decision-making has improved and I feel the options which I am looking to score off bowlers have improved because I am not specifically focused on working on my power hitting game. Rather than that, I am trying to refine my timing better so that it can catch up with the game and the requirements for what it (a situation) needs when inside the field. He further explained that sharper decision-making, rather than a wholesale overhaul of his game, has brought him in line with the ever-evolving demands of the shortest format. Actually, I don't think so much that sport has evolved or so much that. But probably, I can answer it this way - yes, the sport has evolved for sure. Also Read: Live Cricket Score We have not had a lot of conversations yet, but there were a few conversations where it was very interesting and I would love to use that. Obviously, as you said, he is one of the legends of Australia - so I would love to also pick his mind for the Tests as well. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: GT Wants To Be A Team That Consistently Scores Big Runs, Says Captain Gill

Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill said his sides focus in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season will be on consistently posting big totals, as the 2022 champions look to clinch another title when the ten-team competition begins on March 28. At the end of the day, you have to score more runs than the other team. Whether its by four runs or 150200 runs, the goal is to win. We are not chasing the glory of scoring 300350 in a single match. We want to be a team that consistently scores big runs and achieves the par target for that wicket. We want to win matches in different conditions. We dont want to be a team that performs only on good wickets, said Gill in a pre-season press conference on Thursday. GT will begin their IPL 2026 campaign against last years runners-up, Punjab Kings, in Mullanpur on March 31. Head coach Ashish Nehra backed his captains approach. Like the captain just mentioned, we want to be a team that can win in any condition, in any situation, home or away, he said. Since their debut in 2022, GT have reached the playoffs in three out of four seasons, winning the title in their inaugural campaign and being runners-up in 2023. Nehra also defended the criticism towards GTs middle order due to over-reliance on the top three of Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler to get big runs. First things first, as a coach, I dont feel the middle order was collapsing. Yes, the top three scored heavily and often batted through 17-18 overs, which is one of the main reasons the team was in such a strong position after 13-14 games. Since their debut in 2022, GT have reached the playoffs in three out of four seasons, winning the title in their inaugural campaign and being runners-up in 2023.

IPL 2026: A Chance for Rishabh Pant to Shed the Unlucky Tag

For Lucknow Super Giants, the IPL 2026 is the season for redemption under Rishabh Pant. The costliest IPL franchise is yet to see any significant success in the IPL: lost in the Play-Offs in the first two seasons and then finished in the seventh position in the last two seasons. Naturally, in the new season, the focus is primarily on current captain Pant for his leadership as well as batting. He ended the last season with 118* off 61 balls against Gujarat Titans, but before that had scored only 151 runs in 13 matches. This was not the performance the franchisee expected from their Rs.27 crore signee. He has to justify the tag of being the IPLs most expensive player. The IPL 2026 season is being viewed as a make-or-break season for him with the hope of doing much better than the 269 runs he scored in 14 innings last season. He also has a chance to set the record straight as a captain. So far, he has captained two different teams in more than 50 matches but without any IPL title, with an overall captaincy record: 57 matches (30 wins + 27 losses). With Delhi Capitals (20212024), he earned the tag of a never-say-die captain and led them in 43 matches, and then LSG spent a record-breaking Rs. 27 crore at the auction to appoint him captain for the 2025 season, following their disappointment with KL Rahul, but the story remained unchanged. He may not end up as lucky as Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni as far as winning an IPL title is concerned, but he can come out of the list of the captains who led in 50+ IPL matches, without winning the title. Virat Kohli (143 matches with 68 wins, 71 losses, 3 ties and 1 no result) is leading the pack as he couldnt convert his fine batting form into an IPL title as captain (from 2013 to 2021, and again for a few matches in 2023). His is a unique case as he captained only one franchise, the Royal Challengers Bangalore, and remains the only captain to have led a team in 100+ matches without ever winning a title. Virat is still playing but not captaining the side. Similarly, Sanju Samson (67 matches with 33 wins, 33 losses and 1 no result) also doesnt have the chance to add an IPL title to his record as captain. He led Rajasthan Royals from 2021 to 2025, scored a hundred in his very first match as captain (first IPL captain to record the feat) and, like Virat, amassed a lot of runs but failed to win a title. He has now moved from the Royals. On the unlucky quotient, KL Rahul is next as he has captained in 64 matches (32 wins, 32 losses) but without winning the IPL title. Among those who have captained more than one team, he is the most unfortunate. Before the 2022 season, the Lucknow Super Giants acquired him for Rs.17 crore as a long-term captaincy prospect, but after 37 matches, they lost faith in him. It appears that they overlooked that he had not won the title for Kings XI Punjab also in the 27 matches before that. He is now not captaining his new side and his record in this capacity stands frozen at this point. Rishabh Pants story bears striking similarities with him. Virender Sehwag was a big name at the start of the IPL. As an iconic player, he was the first captain of the Delhi Daredevils (from 2008 to 2012), took the team to semi-finals in two consecutive seasons (2008 and 2009) and, in 2009, was at the top of the league table but despite captaining them for 52 matches, failed to secure a title. He also led the Punjab team for just a single match. He remains one of the few captains who, despite leading a single franchise for over 50 matches, never managed to win a title. Overall IPL captaincy record 53 matches (29 wins, 24 losses). Surprisingly, none of the Icons of the IPL met with success as captain and, like Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar also failed to taste the success. He led Mumbai Indians in 51 matches (30 wins, 21 losses), starting from the very first season of the IPL but remained empty-handed. He also holds the distinction of having captained a single team in 50 matches without winning a title. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Similarly, Royal Challengers Bangalore started with Rahul Dravid (14 matches) and then he was captain of the Rajasthan Royals between 2012 and 2013, taking over from Shane Warne in 34 matches but was unable to deliver a title.

Shubman Gill joins criticism of Impact Player rule, says It takes the skill out

Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill has voiced concerns about the IPL Impact Player rule. He believes it reduces the skill element in cricket. Several other Indian players share similar sentiments. The rule allows an extra player, impacting the traditional balance of the game. Gill feels it makes matches more predictable. The rule is set to continue until 2027.

IPL 2026: I Don't Have Anything To Prove In This Season, Particularly, Says Shubman Gill

Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill said he feels no pressure to prove himself in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season, adding that his focus is on making his team win another title this year rather than chasing personal milestones. Gill, Indias captain in Tests and ODIs, was left out of the T20I team to make room for Sanju Samson in the top order. It proved to be a move that paid off really well as India claimed a record third Mens T20 World Cup title at the Narendra Modi Stadium earlier this month. Not at all. I think, if you look at the past three or four seasons, I have the most runs in IPL. So, I don't think I have anything to prove, in this season particularly. The four years that I've played for this team, I think we have done decently well as a team, and I think I've done decently well as a batsman. So, I don't think I need to prove my worth to anyone. I think I need to do what I've been doing for the past four years. As a team, we need to be consistent, which I think we have been. If we continue doing that, sooner or later, I think we will win that trophy once more, said Gill, who became GTs captain in IPL 2024, in a pre-season press conference on Thursday. The right-handed batter also voiced his opinion against the Impact Player rule, saying that it is making the game one-dimensional. Gills words come just a day after he attended the IPL captains and managers meeting in Mumbai, where it was announced that the Impact Player rule will remain till the 2027 season. Personally, for me, I don't think there should be an Impact Player rule. I think cricket in general is an 11-player game, and on the wickets and grounds that we play, adding an extra batter takes the skill out of the game. There is a certain skill in the game that you need to have, and when you know when you have a certain number of batters and if a couple of your batters get out, there is a certain amount of skill that you need to have to still get the scoreboard moving and get your team to a good score. I think with that one extra player, it's making the game more one-dimensional, and it's taking a little bit of the skill out of the game. Chasing 180 or 160 on a challenging wicket is, for me personally, way more exciting than chasing 220 on a flat wicket. So, I mean, it's gonna be there till 2027 -- it's something that we also spoke about in the captain's meeting yesterday. I understand it makes the game a bit more entertaining, but let's see if it's up to them and what the BCCI is going to take a decision on this. But personally, I don't like it that much, he elaborated. Gill signed off by reiterating that personal goals are never a priority for him in terms of targets in the immediate future, whether hes turning out for GT or India. Honestly, I am not the one to look too much into personal goals, whatever team I am playing for, whether it be for my country or for Gujarat. So, I mean, it's gonna be there till 2027 -- it's something that we also spoke about in the captain's meeting yesterday. I understand it makes the game a bit more entertaining, but let's see if it's up to them and what the BCCI is going to take a decision on this. But personally, I don't like it that much, he elaborated. Also Read: Live Cricket Score If you are playing a series, you are looking to beat the other teams in the series, so those are the goals that I look forward to, and I don't really have my personal goals. Like right now, its obvious to win the IPL. Once that ends, obviously, we are going to have some other tournaments within the team. So my personal goals would change into that, and that's how I like to look at my goals. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: Players Returning After Missing 2025 Season

The Indian Premier League: The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been pivotal in transforming modern franchise cricket, influencing not only India but also the international scene. Besides its commercial achievements, it serves as a significant platform for showcasing new talent, enhancing the reputation of domestic players, and making many of them well-known worldwide. Every season, a few high-profile players are absent due to injuries or dips in form. This year, too, many players have been ruled out before the start of the tournament, due to injury or availability concerns, forcing the franchises to look for replacements. But several players will be returning to the high-intense setup after having missed the previous edition. With this in mind, here are five players who missed IPL 2025 but are expected to return in the 2026 tournament, which starts on Saturday. Cameron Green (Kolkata Knight Riders) Fast-bowling all-rounders continue to be among the most sought-after assets in the IPL, and this season marks the return of one of Australias finest, Cameron Green. After missing the previous edition due to a back injury, Green is back in the spotlight as the most expensive overseas signing in IPL history, having been bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for a staggering Rs. 25.20 crore. Green made his IPL debut with the Mumbai Indians in 2023, playing a key role in their playoff run. He scored 452 runs across 16 matches at an impressive strike rate of 160.28, highlighted by a commanding unbeaten century against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final league match at the Wankhede Stadium. He followed that with another strong season at Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2024, further cementing his reputation as a dependable performer in the league. However, injury concerns kept him out of the 2025 campaign, and he did not participate in that years mega auction. Now 26, Green joins Eden Gardens as a marquee signing for Kolkata, with high expectations despite a tough recent Ashes series. His return not only bolsters KKRs squad but also provides a potential game-changer capable of affecting matches with both bat and ball. Sarfaraz Khan (Chennai Super Kings) Sarfaraz Khan's career has been marked by sharp turns, from early promise to times on the fringes. He first gained notice during his stint with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where his performances were good enough to secure retention ahead of the 2018 mega-auction. However, maintaining consistency proved difficult in the following years, and subsequent spells with Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Capitals did little to secure his place, ultimately leading to his release before the 2024 season and a couple of years without an IPL contract. Despite his absence from the league, Sarfaraz continued to build an impressive reputation in domestic cricket. His outstanding performance in the 202526 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy highlighted his T20 skills, as he scored 329 runs at an average of 65.20 and an exceptional strike rate of 203.8. A blazing 73 off just 22 balls on the morning of the auction further emphasised his value. Those performances earned him a return to the IPL, with Chennai Super Kings securing his services for Rs. 75 lakh. While competition for places in a crowded batting line-up may limit immediate opportunities, conditions at Chepauk could play to his strengths against spin, and his inventive strokeplay adds depth to the side. Having already achieved a long-awaited Test debut for India before slipping out of contention again, Sarfaraz now faces another crucial moment. A strong IPL campaign could not only restore his credentials in the format but also rekindle hopes of a return to the national team. Jason Holder (Gujarat Titans) Jason Holder has long been a familiar figure in the IPL, representing multiple franchises, with his most recent appearance for the Rajasthan Royals in 2023. Despite his experience and all-round capabilities, he remained unsold in the following two seasons and instead participated in franchise cricket elsewhere, including a stint with Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League in 2025. Since then, Holder has regained strong form on the international stage, delivering impactful performances for the West Indies. He also impressed as captain of the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the Caribbean Premier League, demonstrating both leadership and consistency. His resurgence did not go unnoticed, as the Gujarat Titans secured his services for Rs. 7 crore ahead of the 2026 season. Backed by a strong performance in the recent World Cup, Holder now returns to the IPL with renewed energy and the potential to play a vital all-round role for the Titans. Prithvi Shaw (Delhi Capitals) Prithvi Shaw burst onto the IPL scene as an exciting teenager in 2018, showcasing his attacking flair while representing Delhi Daredevils. He soon became a key figure in the sides resurgence after they transitioned into the Delhi Capitals, with his rise reflected in his rapid elevation to Indias national team across formats. However, that early momentum proved difficult to maintain. A prolonged decline in form, combined with fitness and discipline issues, caused Shaw to fall out of favour. After two disappointing IPL seasons, Delhi released him, and his struggles worsened when he lost his place in Mumbais domestic team. A fresh start with Maharashtra seems to have reignited his game. Consistent performances across formats in domestic cricket signal a return to form, prompting Delhi Capitals to re-sign him for Rs. 75 lakh ahead of the 2026 season. Returning to a franchise where he previously thrived, forming effective opening partnerships with players like Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner, Shaw now has an opportunity to rebuild his reputation. At 26, he faces a pivotal moment. A successful run at the top of the order could signal a major resurgence, potentially realigning his career and sparking renewed debates about his role in Indian cricket. Umran Malik (Kolkata Knight Riders) Umran Malik made an immediate impact when he emerged for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2021, attracting attention with raw pace that often exceeded 150 kmph. His breakthrough season reached its peak in 2022, when he took 22 wickets and received a call-up to the Indian team, highlighting his potential as one of the countrys fastest bowlers. Since then, injuries have hindered his progress, affecting both his appearances and effectiveness. After being released before the 2025 auction, Malik was signed by the Kolkata Knight Riders, but another injury setback ruled him out of the season. Now fully fit and having completed a full domestic campaign with Jammu and Kashmir in the 2025 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Malik returns with renewed purpose. With Kolkatas pace attack depleted following the exits of key bowlers, he has a clear opportunity to re-establish himself. Maliks focus will now be on rediscovering the form and rhythm that once made him one of the most exciting fast-bowling prospects in the league. A strong showing this season could not only strengthen his role at KKR but also revive his chances of making a comeback to the national side. Finn Allen (Kolkata Knight Riders) Finn Allen had a quiet start to his IPL journey, spending time with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2021 and 2022 without making an appearance despite being regarded as a promising, hard-hitting opener. Finn Allen (Kolkata Knight Riders) Also Read: Live Cricket Score His rise was further cemented on the global stage when he scored a breathtaking 33-ball century against South Africa in the semi-final of the 2026 T20 World Cup, the fastest hundred in the tournaments history. Now returning to the IPL with Kolkata Knight Riders, Allen brings with him a reputation built on fearless strokeplay, and even a glimpse of that form could make him a game-changing presence this season.

IPL 2026: Gujarat Titans Pin Hopes On Big Names, Batting Core In Quest For Second Title

Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Gujarat Titans head into the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) season carrying both the weight of high expectations and the fuel of unfinished business after bowing out of the competition in the Eliminator stage last year. Winners in their debut season in 2022 and runners-up in 2023, the franchise will pin its hopes for another title on big names led by Shubman Gill and a batting core that has some vulnerabilities. IANS takes a look at how GT are shaping up ahead of a crucial IPL 2026 season: - Strength: GTs foundation rests on a batting record that entered the history books last season. In IPL 2025, GT became the first team in the competition's history to have three batters Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler -- each crossing the 500-run mark in a single season. The opening partnership between Gill and Sudharsan produced an average of 65.1, the highest of any pair in the league that year. It was batting that consistently put totals beyond reach before the opposition bowling line-up could regroup. Up front with the ball, GT's pace attack carries credentials that few sides can match. Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna, the 2025 Purple Cap winner, form a formidable seam bowling unit with both the experience to execute under pressure and the variety to exploit different surfaces. Weakness: Though their top-order looks rock solid, they come in with a few concerns Gill comes on the back of being omitted from Indias T20 World Cup-winning squad. Sudharsan arrived after recovering from a rib injury, while Buttler had a poor run of form in the T20 World Cup. If one of them doesnt strike form big time, GT can find themselves in trouble. Below that trio, GTs batting order looks shaky, with no dependable finisher to apply finishing touches to the innings. The spin department also has its own set of concerns Rashid Khan struggles to get scalps at their home venue in Ahmedabad, while the rest of the spinners arrive after not having much productive time in the domestic season. Opportunity: The most transformative acquisition of GT's auction signing is of West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder, who can contribute meaningfully across all three phases. Young India pacer Ashok Sharmas bowling returns will also be keenly watched after having a brilliant time in the 2025/26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Washington Sundar, too, arrives transformed. Since IPL 2025, the Tamil Nadu allrounder has reinvented himself as a high-impact T20 batter. Apart from his handy off-spin bowling, Sundar can provide the batting insurance GT is currently missing below the top three batters. Opportunity: The most transformative acquisition of GT's auction signing is of West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder, who can contribute meaningfully across all three phases. Young India pacer Ashok Sharmas bowling returns will also be keenly watched after having a brilliant time in the 2025/26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The overseas slot selection presents another genuine headache. With Buttler, Rashid, and Rabada near-certain starters, the battle for the fourth slot between Holder's all-round utility and Glenn Phillips' explosive batting will demand a difficult call - one that could leave either a critical bowling option or a key batting resource on the bench for every match.

Kolkata Knight Riders: Three-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have picked Navdeep Saini as a player replacement for the injured Harshit Rana for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, whereas Gujarat Titans have replaced Prithviraj Yarra with Kulwant Khejroliya.
