IPL 2026: Hopefully, DC Can Get Back To Winning Ways, Take That Momentum Forward, Says Stubbs
Chennai Super Kings: Delhi Capitals (DC) batter Tristan Stubbs is hopeful that the side can rediscover its winning rhythm and move past their recent stumble against the Gujarat Titans (GT) to regain momentum in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 when they take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Chennai on Saturday. DC suffered an agonising one-run loss to GT at the Arun Jaitley Stadium and are seeking to get back to winning ways against five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. I think the sign of a good team is when you lose, you just lose. So, we can take a lot of positives from the other night and two good wins to start. So hopefully we can get back in those winning ways and take that momentum forward, Stubbs said in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. He also revealed about taking a deliberate mental break from cricketing action to stay fresh for the high-pressure encounter at Chepauk. Ive been watching golf for two days, so I havent been thinking about cricket. From what weve seen and during the World Cup, it's quite a good wicket, so hopefully that comes true. A bit more balance than Delhi, so quite excited for that, said Stubbs. On the tactical front, Stubbs highlighted the importance of clarity in roles and the strategic advantage of maintaining a left-right batting partnership alongside fellow Proteas team-mate David Miller.

IPL 2026: Nabi Handed Debut As DC Elect To Bowl First Against CSK, Brevis, Gurjapneet Included
Pacer Auqib Nabi Dar: Pacer Auqib Nabi Dar, the leading wicket-taker in the 2025/26 Ranji Trophy win for Jammu and Kashmir, has been handed his IPL debut cap as Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to bowl first against Chennai Super Kings in their IPL 2026 encounter at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday. DC arrive on the back of an agonising one-run defeat to the Gujarat Titans, while CSK come with three consecutive defeats behind them. CSK have drafted in Dewald Brevis, who was recovering from a side strain, and left-arm pacer Gurjapneet Singh. After winning the toss, DC skipper Axar Patel said Nabi and Ashutosh Sharma will come in place of Vipraj Nigam and Nitish Rana in the playing eleven. Ashutosh will come in DCs batting innings as the Impact Player, while Sameer Rizvi is slotted at number three. We would like to bowl first because the pitch looks good, and whatever score is set, we would prefer to chase it. The IPL is a long tournament, and the dressing room atmosphere is very relaxed. The discussion has been around focusing on what we can control. Once we reach a certain point, theres no need to overthink things. So thats been the mindset, control whats in our hands. The mood is good. If you look at the balance of our side, we have almost all bases covered. Obviously, based on the options we had, I think weve picked a very good combination. Compared to last year, the team looks more balanced, and hopefully, we will perform well today. As for the surface, it has been a good batting wicket this season. Over the last couple of years in Chennai, it has played well. Its a red soil pitch, so there should be good bounce. Our aim will be to restrict them to as low a total as possible and then chase it down, he said. CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said it was good to have Brevis back and strengthen the middle order, while Gurjapneet replaces Matt Henry. Regarding the status of MS Dhoni, whos recuperating from a calf injury, Gaikwad said he will be watching the game from the team hotel and hopes for him to play very soon. The pitch does look a bit on the drier side. We were actually 50-50 about the toss, but its good to back ourselves. The aim is to put our best foot forward today, get that first win, and get on the points table. Thats what weve been trying over the last couple of games as well. Like I mentioned in the press conference, weve been improving in all departments. The batting has been doing really well; its just a few key moments where weve missed out, and those are the areas we need to capitalise on. But overall, everyone is in a good space and really eager to go. When you look at the balance of the side, we are definitely playing to our potential, he said. In their pitch report, Daren Ganga and Deep Dasgupta noted that the ground dimensions remain challenging - a 79-metre straight boundary is complemented by square boundaries measuring 65 and 68 metres respectively. With pitch becoming more conducive for pacers, they pointed out that visible bare patches could help spinners find some purchase, while an even grass covering should provide a stable platform for batters, making another high-scoring encounter a possibility.

LSG didnt have the best start to their IPL 2026 campaign, but theyve quickly turned things around with back-to-back impressive performances. The team has shown great composure in pressure situations, pulling off thrilling last-ball wins while chasing. In their latest outing, it was Mukul Choudhary who played the hero, smashing an unbeaten 54 off just 27 balls to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders. Meanwhile, the Gujarat Titans havent quite found their rhythm this season and have looked inconsistent overall. They lost both opening matches against the Punjab Kings and the Rajasthan Royals. However, their convincing win over the Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium could prove to be a turning point. With Shubman Gill leading the side, it will be interesting to see whether they can build on that momentum in the upcoming clash in Lucknow. GT have a small edge over LSG in the head-to-head record. Both teams have played seven matches so far, in which the Gujarat Titans have won four matches, while the Lucknow Super Giants have come victorious in three matches.

PCA New International Cricket Stadium: Punjab Kings won the toss and elected to bowl against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 17th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the PCA New International Cricket Stadium on Saturday. PBKS have not made any changes to their team, while Sunrisers Hyderabad has dropped Liam Livingston and Jaydev Unadkat. Praful Hinge is making his debut for the team, and Salil Arora is back in the playing XI. Shreyas Iyers Punjab Kings have enjoyed a strong start to the season, remaining unbeaten in their first three matches. They secured a three-wicket win over the Gujarat Titans and followed it up with a five-wicket victory against the Chennai Super Kings. Their latest outing against the Kolkata Knight Riders, however, was abandoned due to rain. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad have had an inconsistent campaign so far. They began with a six-wicket loss to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, bounced back with a convincing 65-run win over Kolkata, but head into Saturdays clash after suffering a five-wicket defeat to the Lucknow Super Giants. After winning the toss, Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer said, We're going to bowl first. It's a day game and obviously want to get a knack of how the wicket is going to play and a fair idea. But other than that, that's what we've been doing in the last couple of games. We've been thriving on that. (Things to address?) I personally feel that you can't control the nature of the weather, he said. You've just got to go with the flow. And I personally feel that we don't have to address anything at any point in time. Just back each other, back all the youngsters in the team. The more you tell them, the more confusing it gets for them. So, it's better that they live in their own nature and express themselves. No, we're going with the same team, He added. After losing the toss, Ishan Kishan said, We would have loved to bowl first. But yeah, I think wicket looks pretty hard to me. And it's about playing good cricket in the first innings. Obviously, it's a big disadvantage for any team. Pat is a tremendous bowler. He gets on with an experience of his. But still, I feel we've got a young side, young bowlers today in the team. Hopefully, we'll just try and execute the plans, which is the most important thing in T20 cricket. Yeah, there are two changes. Salil comes in in place of Livingstone and Praful Hinge; it's his debut game, in place of Jaydev Unadkat, he added.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The 16th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) was delayed due to rain at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Friday.

Gavaskar Lauds 'fearless Prodigies' Mukul & Badoni's 'unbelievable Innings' In LSG Win
LSG Lucknow Super Giants: India legend Sunil Gavaskar lavished praise on Lucknow Super Giants wicketkeeper-batter Mukul Choudhary and batting allrounder Ayush Badoni for their innings that proved decisive in beating Kolkata Knight Riders and hailed them as 'fearless prodigies'. LSG secured a sensational three-wicket victory over KKR in a final-ball thriller at the Edens Garden, powered by an all-round team effort and a special act from Ayush Badoni and Mukul Choudhary. After the hosts posted 181/4 on the board, LSG Lucknow Super Giants got off to a steady start. Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh added 41 runs in just four overs. However, Vaibhav Arora triggered a collapse, dismissing Markram before Marsh fell two balls later, shifting momentum sharply. Then, Badoni stepped up with a fearless 54 off 34 balls, laced with seven boundaries and two towering sixes. On the other end, Choudhary unleashed a breathtaking knock, smashing an unbeaten 54 off just 27 deliveries. Unbelievable innings by this fearless prodigy, Mukul Choudhary. What I love about the IPL is that every day we get to see something different. We saw David Miller of Delhi Capitals play a fantastic knock and almost help his team get over the line against Gujarat Titans in the previous match, but that knock was played by a renowned World Cup star, Gavaskar said on JioStar. Here, it is Mukul Choudhary, who stepped up and helped his side cross the finish line. This guy is a young kid who bats at number five for Rajasthan in domestic T20 cricket. He just comes into the IPL, plays an unbelievable innings and makes everyone talk about him. The confidence he showed and the way he executed his shots was simply amazing to watch. At the stage of the innings where he came in to bat, he showed calmness, took his time, settled down properly and began hitting the balls out of the ground. He even played the helicopter shot, which MS Dhoni would have been very nostalgic seeing. He turned down easy singles because he trusted his ability to hit big shots and finish the game. That was simply amazing to watch. Gavaskar also reflected on the importance of Badonis 54-run knock, calling it highly underrated. Ayush Badonis knock of 54 runs is highly underrated. This knock is what helped LSG keep believing. He is a very good all-around cricketer. He can bowl a bit and is a very good fielder. But he has been used as an impact sub this season. For him to come in and start timing the ball the way he did was just splendid to watch. Yes, he got stuck a bit because Sunil Narine was going through a beautiful spell. But when he played against the seamers, he looked in great touch and kept hammering them to all parts of the ground. Immediately after he brought up his half-century, he got dismissed. That must have been a worrying sign for LSG. But you have to give credit to Ayush Badoni. He has been playing for them for a while. He is captaining Delhi in domestic cricket. So, all that maturity is coming to the fore. From an LSG point of view, you want such players in your line-up. Yes, he got stuck a bit because Sunil Narine was going through a beautiful spell. But when he played against the seamers, he looked in great touch and kept hammering them to all parts of the ground. Immediately after he brought up his half-century, he got dismissed. That must have been a worrying sign for LSG. Also Read: Live Cricket Score LSG now return to Lucknow, eyeing a third consecutive win when they take on the Gujarat Titans on Sunday.

IPL 2026: 'Aim Was To Bat Till Last,' Says Mukul Choudhary After His Match-winning Knock Against KKR
Lucknow Super Giants: : Mukul Choudhary said his only focus during the chase was to stay till the end, a plan that ultimately helped Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pull off a thrilling last-ball win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 15th match played at Eden Gardens on Thursday. Chasing 182, LSG were under pressure in the final overs, but Choudhary held his nerve and turned the game around with fearless hitting. He smashed crucial sixes in the closing stages, including two in the final over, to take his team over the line. My aim was to bat till the last and see what happens. It was only my second match. God has given me this opportunity; there can be pressure, but it is also an opportunity to make a name for myself, Choudhary said after being named Player of the Match for his unbeaten 54 off 27 balls. Choudhary also reflected on his journey into cricket. My journey started when my father was not even married; he dreamed that his son would play cricket. I started at the age group level, but there were no good academies in Sikkim. I played matches in Delhi and Guragaon, and that helped me, he said. When I was playing against U19 versus UP, it was a low-scoring game, and I made a contribution, so he knew then that I would make it big, he added, The youngster highlighted his natural attacking approach. Even I liked the first six; I had not scored a single six in two games, so the first one was special. In my mind, I knew one out of the four balls would be in the slot, and I was just waiting for it, he said. From younger days, I like hitting sixes and not playing along the ground, Choudhary added, underlining the aggressive mindset that powered LSG to victory. LSG captain Pant was full of praise for the youngsters performance. When we see him in the nets, when you see someone, you can see that.. When you do it in the match, I have no words to describe it. But what a fantastic effort, he said. From younger days, I like hitting sixes and not playing along the ground, Choudhary added, underlining the aggressive mindset that powered LSG to victory.

Gujarat survive final-over chaos - The Express Tribune
Gujarat survive final-over chaos The Express Tribune
Indian Premier League: Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar backed David Millers decision to refuse a single in the dying moments of Delhi Capitals dramatic one-run defeat, stating that the South Africans confidence to finish the game himself could not be criticised. The high-octane clash between DC and Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday went down to the final delivery, with Millers split-second call on the penultimate ball becoming the defining moment of the contest. With two runs needed off the last two deliveries, Miller pushed the ball into the deep but opted against taking a single that would have handed a strike to Kuldeep Yadav. The choice ultimately proved decisive as the final ball resulted in a run-out, sealing a narrow win for Gujarat. Gavaskar, reflecting on the moment, admitted that an alternative approach might have been wiser, though he emphasised the context of Millers form and intent. Yes, he was backing himself to hit the winning runs, but having seen the way Kuldeep Yadav nudged that ball for a single off the first ball, maybe he should have given Kuldeep the strike. He should have given the strike, Gavaskar said on Star Sports after the match. He, however, was quick to underline that hindsight makes such judgments easier. This is all being wise after the event, but the fact remains that the way he had been hitting the previous over and that over as well, he believed that he could do it, simple as that. So you can't fault him for that. He had the confidence that he could do it, but it didn't come off because the ball that Prasid Krishna bowled was an absolutely superb delivery, Gavaskar added. Miller, who had returned to the middle after a brief injury scare, almost turned the game on its head with a blistering 41 off 20 balls. His late assault began after the dismissal of KL Rahul, when Delhi found themselves needing 45 runs from the final three overs. He, however, was quick to underline that hindsight makes such judgments easier. This is all being wise after the event, but the fact remains that the way he had been hitting the previous over and that over as well, he believed that he could do it, simple as that.

Gujarat Titans pulled off a thrilling one-run win over Delhi Capitals with Kuldeep Yadav getting run-out on the final ball of the IPL 2026 encounter.
Indian Premier League: Former India leg-spinner Piyush Chawla hailed Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khans precision and deception on his way to bagging figures of 3-17 for the Gujarat Titans in their one-run win over Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026, adding that his dismissal of Sameer Rizvi was a standout one. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Rashid was at his accurate best to take out Rizvi, Nitish Rana, and Axar Patel to leave DC in trouble in chase of 211. David Miller, despite an injured left hand, counter-attacked with an unbeaten 41, but Prasidh Krishna defended 13 runs in the final over, including two runs off two balls, to give a nail-biting win for GT. We all know what Rashid Khan is capable of on his day; he can trouble any batting line-up. Gujarat Titans needed him to step up, especially while defending this total on a good batting wicket and a small ground, and he delivered. He was right on the money from the very first ball. The way he dismissed Sameer Rizvi was particularly impressive. He bowled several leg-spinners earlier, and when Rizvi walked in, a batter with strong numbers against spin this season, he showed him the slip, making him expect a leg-break. But deceived him with the wrong un. It was a beautiful delivery, right on target, beating the bat through the gap, said Chawla, a JioStar expert, on Star Sports. He was right on the money from the very first ball. The way he dismissed Sameer Rizvi was particularly impressive.

Internet Not Happy With 'Dead Ball' Rule After DC's 1-Run Loss. Here's Why
Gujarat Titans pulled off a thrilling one-run win over Delhi Capitals with Kuldeep Yadav getting run-out on the final ball of the IPL 2026 encounter.
Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans edged past Delhi Capitals by one run in a thrilling Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash and former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar felt David Millers hesitation in the back end of the chase proved to be decisive, insisting that the responsibility was on the veteran batter and that indecision from him cost DC crucial points. With two runs needed off the last two balls, Miller refused to take an easy single on the penultimate ball off Prasidh Krishna. It brought the equation down to two runs off the last ball, and Miller missed the pull on Krishna's slower bouncer and ran for the single. But a brilliant under-arm direct hit from GT wicket-keeper Jos Buttler ran out Kuldeep Yadav, thus sealing a dramatic victory for the IPL 2022 winners at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. You could sense how the situation unfolded when Vipraj Nigam came in. The game wasnt going to be about Miller all the way, but once Vipraj was dismissed, the responsibility was entirely on Miller. Kuldeep Yadav handled that particular ball well and ensured Miller was on strike. Miller then produced a brilliant shot, a 106-metre six over long-off. However, there was a bit of indecision towards the end. Initially, he looked like he would go for the run on the second-last ball, but then decided against it. That hesitation may have cost Delhi Capitals a chance, because the game could have gone into a Super Over depending on how the final ball played out. That indecision might have ultimately cost Delhi Capitals a couple of points, said Bangar on Star Sports. Bangar also praised GT skipper Shubman Gills composed 70 at the top of the order, noting how his partnerships with Buttler and Washington Sundar, who hit 52 and 55 respectively, and well-timed strokes anchored the sides charge with the bat. Shubman Gills innings was well supported from the other end, especially with Jos Buttler playing aggressively, which meant Gill didnt get much strike early in the Powerplay.

Rajasthan Royals have surged to the top of the standings after winning all three of their matches so far, with victories over Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Titans, and Mumbai Indians. Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bengaluru head into the contest on the back of consecutive wins against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai. Both sides boast formidable batting units, though Rajasthan appear slightly more settled with the ball under the leadership of Riyan Parag. The pace attacks on either side are equally threatening with the new ball. Jacob Duffy and Bhuvneshwar Kumar spearhead Bengalurus attack, while Jofra Archer partners with Nandre Burger at the top for Rajasthan. A key battle will be how Bengaluru handle Rajasthans aggressive opening combination of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who have been in destructive form this season.

IPL 2026: Iyer Said Some Nice Words About Me, And I'm Very Thankful For That, Says Connolly
Indian Premier League: Regarded as one of the most fearless young batting prodigies in the Punjab Kings (PBKS) set-up, Australia batting all-rounder Cooper Connolly on Thursday said he is very thankful for the glowing endorsement received from skipper Shreyas Iyer and head coach Ricky Ponting following his explosive start to the season. Connolly lit up the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 by hitting an unbeaten 72 off 44 balls in his debut game as a number three batter against the Gujarat Titans in New Chandigarh to pick the Player of the Match award and earned plaudits for anchoring the chase despite a middle-order wobble. It was followed by a knock of 36 against Chennai Super Kings, as PBKS made it two out of two wins. It's been a nice start. Hopefully, we can continue winning and, yeah, continue staying at the top of the ladder. I think it's nice. I obviously spoke to Shreya a little bit during the Australia vs India (ODI) series a couple of months back, and we just communicated and spoke. I enjoy watching him. I enjoy learning from him. He's obviously said some nice words about me, but I'm very thankful for that. He's a world-class player, but I'll just keep trying to learn and get better and try to put my best foot forward for this team and hopefully continue to get the backing from this sort of franchise. Hopefully, get some wins, whether it's with the bat in the field or with the ball. I'm just looking for my best foot forward and hoping for some team success, said Connolly, while replying to a question from IANS on JioStar Press Room ahead of TATA IPL 2026 Rivalry Week. Though Connolly has been earning praise for his fearlessness, he admitted that the step up to playing his first IPL game came with a significant dose of nerves. I think when I was sitting there on the bench and getting ready to leave (for the game), I was pretty nervous. That's probably where it all started. Probably in the morning when I woke up, I had a little bit of a feeling in my stomach, just nervous. But being nervous is always a good thing. Walking out to bat, I was obviously quite nervous, and then I just slowly got into it, I guess, things. The longer I was out there, the more comfortable I felt and the more I just tried to relax myself and just, I guess, play what's in front of me, he added. Connolly, who will play as a specialist batter till the end of April due to a back issue hampering his left-arm spin bowling duties, further explained how the teams culture, led by Iyer, encourages young players to express themselves without fear of failure. It's always nice with the sort of positive attitude that we have around the group. It's led by our skipper, Shreyas. He's always positive, and he's got this saying that I have a feeling that we know we're going to win, and it's not being arrogant or anything. It's just about being confident in this group and what this group can achieve. I think that's sort of stuck with this team, and he is a bit of a leader. So a lot of people in this team follow him, and he sort of leads by example. It's always nice with the sort of positive attitude that we have around the group. It's led by our skipper, Shreyas. He's always positive, and he's got this saying that I have a feeling that we know we're going to win, and it's not being arrogant or anything.

In a video shared by the franchise following the match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday, Axar sought to lift spirits in the dressing room after a result that slipped through their grasp in dramatic fashion. Start of the season, I told, you know, control the emotion and stay calm in any situation. All are, you know, sad, feeling sad. We can still smile, it's okay. It's a long tournament. I think if he didn't hit those sixes, I think we are not in the, you know, in the game. We'll go Chennai and start again. Keep smiling. Cheers, Axar told his teammates. The Titans clinched their first victory of the season in a thrilling finish, capitalising on a dramatic final over that saw momentum swing repeatedly. Chasing 211, Delhi Capitals ended at 209/8, falling just one-run short despite a late surge. The turning point came in the closing moments when David Miller, who had reignited hopes with a blistering unbeaten 41 off 20 balls, opted against taking a single off the penultimate delivery of the final over, bowled by Prasidh Krishna. The decision, reflecting a lack of confidence in partner Kuldeep Yadav, proved costly. On the final ball, with two runs required, Prasidh delivered a slower bouncer that Miller failed to connect. Attempting a desperate run, Kuldeep was caught short of his crease as Jos Buttler effected the decisive run-out behind the stumps. A review for a wide was turned down, sealing Delhis fate.

Rashid Khan Doubtful For One-off Test Against India, Wary Of Taking Too Much Red-ball Load
ODI World Cup: Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan, currently turning out for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026, has cast doubt over his participation in the upcoming one-off Test against India in June, saying the demands of red-ball cricket could put his long-term career at risk. Shortly after IPL 2026 ends, Afghanistan will play a one-off Test against India in New Chandigarh from June 6-10. Since Afghanistan played its first Test against India in 2018, they have played 12 Tests and Rashid, who had 45 scalps in the longer format, has played in only six of them last of which came against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo in January 2025. His red-ball availability has also been limited after undergoing back surgery post 2023 ODI World Cup. I think I already played one before (against India in 2018 in Bengaluru). I will just take it easy. Imagine something happens to my back in a Test match. But I cant play 100 Test matches. If you play one Test a year, you cant play for 100 years! Red-ball cricket is a little difficult because that was the first thing my doctor told me - stay away from red-ball cricket. I still went ahead and played. After the surgery, I played a game against Zimbabwe and bowled 67 overs, which was crazy. The doctor told me, if you dont want to play cricket, you can keep playing red-ball cricket. He said its not going to help me and that I wont be able to play for long. I still went ahead and played, but when he found out I had bowled 67 overs across two innings, he was shocked. He said, you cant do that to yourself, said Rashid in the post-match press conference, after GT beat DC by a solitary run in a nail-biting clash.

I will try, but if I bowl a spell of 2025 overs, I have to bowl the whole day if Im in the team. In my last two Test matches, I bowled 167 overs, which is simply too much. I will take it easy and prepare myself for the World Cup, he added. Article Source: IANS
IPL 2026: When Rashid's Back-to-basics Masterclass Turned Tide In GT's Favour
Arun Jaitley Stadium: The numbers from Wednesday nights edge of the seat thriller in IPL 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium tell the story of a batting carnage. Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans combined to make 419 runs, including 39 fours and 21 sixes being hit. DCs spinners were at the receiving end of some blazing big-hitting from Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler and Washington Sundar to concede 97 runs in eight overs at an economy rate of 12.12. But one man refused to follow the same script Gujarat Titans leg-spinner Rashid Khan, who threw a spanner in DCs batting plans by picking 3-17 in four overs at an economy rate of 4.25 and shifted the game in his team's favour to eventually prevail by one run. The signs of Rashid having a huge say in the game came in the fifth over of the power-play, when he beat KL Rahul on the outside edge with a leg-break spinning away sharply. But it was when DC crossed 100 in 9.4 overs that Rashid finally decided to have his say. Nitish Rana miscued a googly from Rashid to a diving B Sai Sudharsan running in from long-off, just after he managed to survive an lbw review. The most telling effect, though, came when Sameer Rizvi DCs saviour both of their successful chases - was bamboozled by a googly spinning in to castle him through the gate for a golden duck. The Rizvi-Rashid match-up was one of the intriguing sub-plots in the clash and the leg-spinner prevailed in it in an emphatic fashion. Rashid would sign off from the night by foxing Axar Patel with yet another googly which gripped and spun away, as the batter sliced to extra cover. Each of Rashid's three scalps fell for single-digit scores and on the googly. The hallmark of Rashid's bowling has always been the ability to attack the stumps relentlessly, and not giving batters much room to break free. With the quicker pace he bowls, it becomes difficult to send the ball over boundary ropes, which Rana, Rizvi and Axar realised. IPL 2026 has been witness to Rashid being back to his best self after getting only ten and nine wickets in last two seasons, apart from the economy rate having an alarming spike. Rashid being taken apart frequently by batters in the last two years had a lot to do with him pushing through the pain to play the 2023 ODI World Cup and later underwent a back surgery that would rule him out until early 2024. I was told to get a back surgery after IPL 2023, but after that season, the doctor told me, You need a surgery, you can't just keep playing with that. But then, we had the 2023 ODI World Cup and I told him I wanna play this World Cup. I think I pushed myself a lot in that World Cup and after that, it was really bad - even I was not able to walk after the tournament. But thats where I had the surgery and after the surgery, I was very, very careful with my back, Rashid later said in the post-match press conference. Though the surgery repaired the structural damage, Rashids pace dropped, lengths became wayward and the zip - so essential for his ability to hurry batters and deny them room went missing. That affected my bowling action, the release and everything. So, I was trying to be careful, but with that, I missed a little bit of my rhythm. I was trying to bowl slow for 2-3-4 months, where I was not in that shape, like, before the surgery. After having a bad season (in 2025) I thought, 'okay, what's wrong now? Where I'm, what's the thing I'm missing? I felt like it was the whole rhythm, from starting to the finishing. What it was not allowing me was that there was a bit of pain in the back still. I was scared of, like, what's gonna happen if I push it again? Giving himself time off after IPL 2025 to solely work on his fitness came as a big blessing for Rashid. So, I worked on my core and tried my best to make it as strong as possible and then go on with full energy. When I had a couple of three good months off, I had a good hundred competition in the UK. So since that, things got started again. But more importantly, I try my best to just work on my fitness. That's something which I can improve and that allows my body to bowl with full rhythm. The data from Wednesdays game throws light on how Rashid was at his best self - of the 24 balls Rashid bowled, 11 landed on a good length yielding him two wickets at an economy of just 2.18. Even when he dropped short, it was more pitched on the back-of-the-length area. Where once Rashid may have loaded up with variations, he stuck to his basics and dished out a masterclass in it. Sometimes you think far ahead of the things which are not going to happen soon. If you're batting, you think about your bowling and that's something which is like you're putting an extra pressure on yourself already. For me, it's like there will be a time when you get a good wicket or a bad wicket to bowl on, and a flat wicket. But the more important thing is, when you're conceding runs on those wickets, you have to see your line and length. That's something which is more important than anything else you think about it. I feel, in the last two games, I think I bowled well, but where I conceded runs, it was just, like, the length I have missed. I shouldn't really think about, like, okay, what's the result, but the result is like if I hit the right area, the right thing is going to happen. Sometimes you think far ahead of the things which are not going to happen soon. If you're batting, you think about your bowling and that's something which is like you're putting an extra pressure on yourself already. For me, it's like there will be a time when you get a good wicket or a bad wicket to bowl on, and a flat wicket.
