IPL 2026: Makes My Life Very Easy, Says Gill Of Bowlers Performance After Win Over LSG
Lucknow Super Giants: Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill credited his bowlers for setting up the teams seven-wicket win against Lucknow Super Giants here at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday, highlighting their discipline in both the powerplay and middle overs as the key to restricting the opposition. The way we bowled in the powerplay was very impressive. And I think how we kept the pressure in the middle overs was also tremendous by the bowlers. Makes my life very easy, you know, Gill said, praising the collective effort. He reserved special praise for Rashid Khan, underlining his ability to turn games in GTs favour. The way he's bowling at the moment, Rashid, getting us back in the game every time, you know, another bowler is under pressure. So makes my life very easy. Gets the wicket, gets the dot balls, and it's very hard to hit him, he added. Gill also reflected on the importance of sticking to basics, especially in the early stages of an innings. I think in the first six overs, it's all about, it's very difficult to do the simple things because you might sometimes get much ahead in the game. So it's important to come back and realise, you know, what are the simple things that I need to do right now in the moment, he noted. Explaining how Gujarat regained control, the 26-year-old pointed to disciplined execution from his bowlers. And I think in this match, he did that really well. The first over that he bowled was spot on. And then in the third over, how he kept his length and did the simple things and that got us back in the game, how Siraj bowled and even, I think, how KG went for a few runs. But I think he was spot on with his length. He was a little bit unlucky. Few played on and a few good shots, but that happens in a T20 game, he said. The GT skipper admitted that the team conceded slightly more than they would have liked at the death. Yeah, it wasn't easy. You know, in the last, I think, two or three overs, we went for a little bit more, especially in the back end of the innings. I felt we gave like 10 runs extra how where we were in the game with them six or seven down. But definitely we would have taken at the start of the innings, we would have taken 160 on this wicket, Gill explained.

IPL 2026: Not Enough Runs, We Didnt Grab Opportunities Says Pant After LSG Fall Short Against GT
Lucknow Super Giants: Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant admitted that his side fell short with the bat and failed to capitalise on the opportunities presented in the game after their defeat to the Gujarat Titans here at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday, conceding that the total on the board was below par on a surface that demanded more application. Definitely not enough runs. There's nothing from the fact that they bowled well, Pant said after the loss, acknowledging the role played by Gujarats disciplined bowling attack in keeping LSG in check. Reflecting on the nature of the pitch, Pant stressed that a higher total would have made a significant difference. I think in a wicket like this, a score like 170 to 180 is a really good score. But, you know, the wicket kept on falling and they put enough pressure on us to get those wickets going, he added, pointing to the regular loss of wickets that prevented his side from building momentum. Despite the shortfall, Pant believed there were still moments where the game could have tilted in LSGs favour. On a wicket like this, like I said, 170 to 180 is a good score. But at the same time, you know, you still have opportunities. I wouldn't say I'm a hard guy. So there were opportunities in the game. We just couldn't grab it enough, he noted, highlighting missed chances across phases. The LSG captain also backed his batting unit, urging patience as the tournament progresses. See, definitely it's a great lineup. But the tournament has just started here, you know. We're not putting pressure on players because especially the senior guys, they know what to do, Pant said.

Lucknow Super Giants: Gujarat Titans pacer Prasidh Krishna credited a collective bowling effort and a positive team environment after his match-defining four-wicket haul helped restrict Lucknow Super Giants to 164/8 in their IPL 2026 clash at the Ekana Stadium. The right-arm quick, who returned impressive figures of 4/28, said confidence from consistent game time and the atmosphere within the Gujarat camp have played a key role in his performances this season. There is confidence having played a full season coming in, feeling good, running in well, and the team atmosphere is pretty good. That helps me, Prasidh said after the innings. Operating effectively through the middle overs, Prasidh broke the backbone of LSGs batting by removing key batters, including Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran. However, the pacer played down his individual brilliance, attributing his success to favourable moments and sustained pressure created by the bowling unit. I don't know. I did bowl everything, but I just felt I got lucky on those balls and ended up being my wicket taking ball. But otherwise, it's quite a challenging wicket for batsmen and the bowlers. Bowlers, you need to be on the mark. It was a collective effort from the bowlers that we were able to put the pressure on and I was just the lucky one to get the wickets today, he added. The Ekana surface offered variable bounce and demanded discipline, something Gujarats bowlers executed well for the most part, especially during a crucial phase where LSG struggled to score freely. Prasidh also reflected on his growth since joining the Gujarat Titans, hinting that both experience and the team environment have contributed to his improved returns. I would definitely like to think there's something in the air for sure. If that's the case, I'm more than happy to breathe that in and get the best out of myself. But otherwise, yeah, getting a little older, getting a little wiser, I would say. And with the right people around, you're born to learn the right things. Equally, I'd say, he noted. Despite his standout spell, Prasidh cautioned that the pitch remained competitive for both batters and bowlers, pointing to the late surge conceded by Gujarat in the death overs as evidence.

Prasidh Krishnas personal-best T20 figures of 4-28, followed by a dominant batting display led by Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler, powered Gujarat Titans to a comfortable seven-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants in their Indian Premier League 2026 clash at the Ekana Stadium on Sunday. Chasing a competitive 165, the Titans made light work of the target, reaching 165/3 in 18.4 overs to register a clinical victory, built on a commanding second-wicket partnership and a late flourish. GT began cautiously but steadily, with Gill and Sai Sudharsan laying the foundation. Sudharsan (15) fell early to Digvesh Rathi, but that was the only breakthrough LSG managed during the powerplay as GT cruised to 52/1 after six overs. From there on, Gill took control of the chase with a classy knock, mixing timing with authority. He capitalised on anything loose, particularly taking on Mohammed Shami in a 20-run over that shifted momentum firmly in GTs favour. The skipper brought up a fluent half-century off 34 balls, finishing with 56 off 40 deliveries before falling to Prince Yadav. At the other end, Buttler grew into his innings after a watchful start and then unleashed a barrage of boundaries. The Englishman was particularly severe on Avesh Khan, smashing three consecutive fours in one over as GT surged ahead in the middle overs. Buttler notched up his 100th T20 fifty, reaching the milestone in just 34 balls, and went on to score a match-defining 60 off 37 balls, laced with 11 fours. The duos partnership ensured that the required rate never became a concern, with GT racing to 128/1 by the 14th over, effectively putting the game beyond LSGs reach. Though the home team found brief respite through the wickets of Gill and Buttler in quick succession, the target had already been whittled down significantly. Rahul Tewatia (10 not out off 8) and Washington Sundar then calmly finished proceedings, with Sundar sealing the win with a composed unbeaten 21 off 13 balls, including a six and a couple of boundaries. Earlier, Gujarats bowlers had set up the victory with a disciplined effort to restrict LSG to 164/8. The hosts managed to post a competitive total, thanks to a late lower-order surge after a stuttering middle phase. Put to bat, LSG raced to 60/2 in the powerplay. Aiden Markram anchored the innings with 30 off 21 balls, but regular wickets derailed their progress. Nicholas Pooran (19 off 21) and Abdul Samad (18 off 22) failed to accelerate as Gujarats bowlers applied pressure.

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill etched his name in the record books by becoming the youngest player to cross the 4,000-run mark in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The milestone came during his knock against Lucknow Super Giants at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday, when he moved past the landmark with his 25th run. The elegant right-hander reached the feat in 118 innings, making him the second-fastest Indian to get to 4,000 IPL runs, behind KL Rahul, who accomplished it in 105 innings. Among all players, only Chris Gayle (112 innings), David Warner (114) and Jos Buttler (116), besides Rahul, have reached the milestone quicker than Gill. Gills consistency has been a hallmark of his IPL career, with the opener maintaining an average close to 40 and a strike rate around 140. He began his journey in the league with Kolkata Knight Riders in 2018, representing the franchise for four seasons and scoring 1,417 runs in 58 matches.

IPL 2026: Lower-order Surge Lifts LSG To 164/8 Against GT
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: A late flourish powered by cameos from the lower order helped Lucknow Super Giants post a competitive 164/8 in 20 overs against Gujarat Titans in the 19th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium here on Sunday. After being put in to bat, LSG made a brisk start in the powerplay, racing to 60/2 despite losing early wickets. Mitchell Marsh set the tone with an aggressive 11 off just four balls before falling to Kagiso Rabada, while Rishabh Pant injected momentum with a breezy 18 off 11 deliveries, including a six and two boundaries, before Mohammed Siraj removed him. Opener Aiden Markram then anchored the innings through the middle phase, striking a fluent 30 off 21 balls. He found regular boundaries and looked set for a bigger contribution, but Gujarats disciplined bowling struck back at crucial intervals. Prasidh Krishna, in particular, proved effective with his variations, dismissing Markram with a well-directed short ball to break a promising stand. The middle overs saw LSG lose momentum as wickets fell in clusters. Ayush Badoni (9) and Nicholas Pooran (19 off 21) struggled to accelerate, with the latter managing only two sixes in an otherwise scratchy knock before falling to Prasidh. Abdul Samad (18 off 22) too failed to convert his start, as Gujarat tightened their grip with a mix of pace-off deliveries and hard lengths. At one stage, LSG were reduced to 120/6 in the 17th over, staring at a below-par total. However, a late surge led by Mukul Choudhary, George Linde and Mohammed Shami provided a much-needed boost. Mukul chipped in with 18 off 14 balls, including a six, while Lindes quickfire 16 off 10 deliveries, featuring three boundaries, injected momentum in the death overs. The final over proved particularly fruitful, yielding 18 runs as Mohammed Shami capped off the innings with a six and a boundary, while Avesh Khan added a four to push the total past the 160-mark. For the Titans, Prasidh was the standout performer with figures of 4/28, consistently troubling the batters with his change of pace and short-ball strategy. Rabada was expensive, conceding 54 runs in his four overs despite picking up a wicket, while Siraj (1/19) and Ashok Sharma (2/32) chipped in with timely breakthroughs. The final over proved particularly fruitful, yielding 18 runs as Mohammed Shami capped off the innings with a six and a boundary, while Avesh Khan added a four to push the total past the 160-mark.

Lucknow Super Giants: Gujarat Titans all-rounder Washington Sundar shed light on his approach to handling high-pressure situations, emphasising the importance of staying mentally free and trusting his natural game. Speaking on GTs tense last-ball win in their previous game ahead of their clash against Lucknow Super Giants, Sundar highlighted how focusing on the right energy and allowing instincts to take over has shaped his performances, offering insight into the mindset that drives him in crunch moments. Sundar himself played a pivotal role in the win, contributing a valuable half-century, and the all-rounder spoke about his approach with the bat this season, focusing more on mindset than technical changes. Honestly, it's just about going out there and putting your best energy out and just let your instincts come through. And there's not a lot of things that I honestly worked on, especially mentally. Just wanted to go there and be in the right energy and just express myself, he said ahead of the LSG vs GT clash at the Ekana Cricket Stadium here on Sunday. Gujarat edged out Delhi in a dramatic finish that went down to the final ball, with their bowlers holding firm under immense pressure. Sundar admitted the narrow margin left plenty to think about, even as the team took confidence from how they handled crunch situations. There were a lot of things that were running on all of our minds in terms of how close the game went. And obviously, could have executed things a little better here and there. But to be honest, bowlers bowled really well, especially under pressure. And Prasidh in particular, bowling that final over with five fielders inside the circle, defending 12, it's always going to be a lot challenging. But obviously, skill is never a question over here. It's all about our decision-making, what's the choice of ball and how will we execute it. And I think we did that pretty well last game, he noted. While such wins can often provide momentum, Sundar was measured in his assessment of its impact on the campaign, underlining the importance of consistency in a long tournament. But obviously, skill is never a question over here. It's all about our decision-making, what's the choice of ball and how will we execute it. And I think we did that pretty well last game, he noted.

The South African has crossed the 40-run mark just once in three outings so far, with a 45 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) being his standout effort.

Kolkata Knight Riders: Three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have received a big boost ahead of their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against the five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday, as pacer Matheesha Pathirana has reportedly cleared the fitness test and been granted the no-objection certificate from the Sri Lankan board to travel to India and link up with his team, KKR.

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Gujarat Titans (GT) won the toss and elected to bowl against Lucknow Super Giants in the 19th match of the tournament here at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. Winning the toss, GT skipper Gill said, We'll field first. Two points in the last match give us plenty of confidence. Looking to play better cricket and ensure the match doesn't go to the last over. We have had a tremendous time, consistency is important in a long tournament such as the IPL. After 14 matches, the most consistent team will win the tournament. Same team for us today. Meanwhile, LSG captain Rishabh Pant said, I think the way wickets are nowadays, you know, the margin batting first or bowling first is not much, but you know, we've got a bowl first. I think for us it's amazing. You know, every win is important, and especially when you win like that, it shows the character of a team, you know. But we want to move on from it, you know, take one match at a time and just give our best. (Talks about head-to-head) See, definitely it's a great boost for winning a match and coming into the next one. But at the same time, you know, you still have to give your best each and every match because wicket might play different, condition might be different. But at the same time, last match when we played, we talked about intent on the field. We always talk about that as a team and that was great to see when we were on the field, we were putting bodies on the line. We are playing with the same team.

'One Or Two Games Don't Define Us': DC Skipper Axar Motivates Teammates After Back-to-back Losses
Chennai Super Kings: Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel motivated the players in the dressing room after they suffered a 23-run loss against five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Delhi Capitals kicked off their season with back-to-back victories over Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians, impressing with both their strong batting lineup and disciplined bowling attack. However, their winning momentum was halted in their third match, where they fell agonisingly short, losing by just one run to the Gujarat Titans, and now they have suffered another defeat on Saturday against CSK. I want to say as a team, yes, we want to win. That time we were also together, we lost to them. So we lost together. As a team, I think this one or two games doesn't define us. And it's okay, we lost the game. But for me, the positive point was that we are playing good cricket, Axar said in a dressing room video released by Delhi Capitals on X. Axar also urged the players to maintain unity in the team and trust each other to do the job. Things that doesn't come our way, when that kicks, this team looks scary. But for that, we have to stay together. We are talking about stay together, trust in each other. Now is the time we have to stay together and come together and start again. Speaking of the match, CSK were put in to bat first by DC and delivered a commanding performance. Sanju Samson led from the front with an unbeaten 115 off 56 balls, smashing 15 fours and four sixes, while Ayush Mhatre chipped in with a fluent 59 off 36 balls, including three fours and four sixes. Their efforts powered CSK to a formidable 212 for 2 in 20 overs. Axar also urged the players to maintain unity in the team and trust each other to do the job.

IPL 2026: 'Mukul Match Jita Dega' - The Coach Who Predicted Choudhary's Breakthrough Heroics
When Lucknow Super Giants: When Lucknow Super Giants needed 54 runs off 24 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens, most of them had written off their chances of winning the match. But in a restaurant in Udaipur, Rajasthans batting coach Nikhil Doru hadnt given up. Having dinner with his friends, who dont belong to the cricketing ecosystem, they quipped the match was out of LSGs reach. But Doru was watching it differently and told them a certain Mukul Choudhary would win the game for LSG. I told them, Mukul match jita dega (Mukul will win the match from here). Their reply was, The situation is such that they cannot win from here. How can they win? I told them, I have seen him play before and he will definitely win the match from here. Right after saying this, he began to hit boundaries consistently, recalled Doru in an exclusive conversation with IANS, ahead of LSG facing Gujarat Titans. After making just one run from his first five deliveries, Choudhary accelerated into a flurry of boundaries, punctuated by a helicopter shot that mirrored the trademark stroke of MS Dhoni. With eight runs needed from three balls, Doru told his friends a six would come now. Right on the money, Choudhary carved a wide yorker from Vaibhav Arora over extra cover for six. When LSG won and Choudhary thanked the Almighty with folded hands after being unbeaten on 54 off 27 balls, Doru was an elated man and spoke to him on Friday morning, where the topic of discussion was not taking any risks and fear of being unable to get going replaced by him showcasing his shots in the last two-three overs. To understand why Doru was so supremely unruffled, one needs to rewind to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy last year, where Rajasthans game against Delhi in Ahmedabad played out in almost the same way. The Rajasthan dugout had lost all hopes of winning the match but Choudhary hit a whirlwind 62 not out off just 26 balls, laced with seven sixes, and turned a certain loss into a stunning victory. Mukul had that innate belief of winning the match for us if he played till the end. In the last over, we needed 25 runs and he hit four sixes off Ayush Badoni. Then the equation came down to six runs off the last ball and he sent the ball over the ropes for six, recalled Doru. After that game, Doru sat down with Choudhary, who became a lower-order hitter after being an opener in U14 and U16 levels, and asked him the what was going through his mind when the situation looked so tough to snatch a win from the jaws of defeat, and when he himself wasn't scoring freely? The answer has stayed with Doru since then, as Choudhary would repeat it almost verbatim to broadcasters after pulling off a heist against KKR. If I play till the last ball, I will win the match for the team. My aim was to play till the end because if that happened, I would win the game. Those words, Doru believes, is the key to decoding Choudhary the cricketer. When the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy began, Choudhary wasn't in Rajasthan's playing eleven. When Kartik Sharma injured his finger, the coaching staff - who had been demanding for Choudhary's inclusion from the selectors before the tournament began - finally got their man. After Choudhary felt a train from Sikar to reach Ahmedabad would lead him to miss the game, he tried taking a flight. But due to IndiGo having operational issues and other airlines not having seats, that option was ruled out. Choudhary reached Ahmedabad at 4am via a car drive with his friend and slept for some time before walking in for his first game against Delhi and became an instant hero. Following that match-winning performance, Doru dispatched Choudharys statistics and video footage to Vikram Solanki, Director of Cricket at Gujarat Titans, and V Cheluvaraj, a scout for Chennai Super Kings. At last years auction in Abu Dhabi, LSG secured Choudharys services for Rs 2.6 crore, outbidding interests from Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals. Hailing from Khedaro Ki Dhani village in Rajasthans Jhunjhunu district, Choudharys rise was 12 years in the making. His father Dalip had decided even before getting married that his firstborn would be a cricketer. When Choudhary arrived in 2004, Dalip got into the quest of making him a cricketer. He quit his teaching job, gave up on his Rajasthan Administrative Services (RAS) ambitions and sold his home, while pivoting into the volatile real estate and hospitality sectors, with debts mounting to Rs three crores. His mother, Sunita, swapped sleep for 4am meal prep, and monitored Mukuls progress from her classroom window before leaving her job. Mukul was then enrolled at the SBS Cricket Academy at Sikar, a place 80 kms away from Jhunjhunu, and attended coaching clinics organised by Yograj Singh and Dinesh Lad before finding a permanent training base in Jaipurs Aravalli Coaching Centre, where coaches Vikas Yadav and Vijay Golada moved him to the batting group after earmarking him as a pacer. Choudharys family, including his younger sister being a Civil Services aspirant, currently live in a rented house in Jaipur. Long before Choudharys breakout time, Doru recalled a pivotal moment during the Rajasthan probables camp for the 2025/26 season serving as an indicator of his temperament. Rajasthan's selection panel named only two specialist openers in the 25-member camp - considerably insufficient for a full Ranji Trophy campaign. To address the shortfall, Doru asked established middle-order batters if they would open the batting. Opening in first-class cricket is filled with its own risks, as facing a new ball that seams and swings can derail the career of a settled middle-order player. Despite having debuted in 2023 and still finding his feet in senior-level cricket, Choudhary was the only player to immediately accept the challenge. Everyone said no, but he said, 'Yes, I am ready to do whatever you ask me to do. If you want to prepare me as an opener, I am ready to be one. I requested him only once, and he was ready to open the batting. Now think how much mentally strong he is when he said Nahi sir, mei karunga. Aap mujhe taiyaar kariye (No sir, I will do it. You prepare me for it). For a middle order batter to open the batting is one of the toughest tasks in red-ball cricket. But still he accepted that challenge and was ready to do it as per the demand of the team. I could make out that his attitude is really very good and is ready to take up any challenge or tough situation, said Doru. Doru started working with Choudhary immediately - two full months of intensive preparation covering not just power-hitting for white-ball cricket, but the technical demands of the opening role in red-ball cricket: handling the new ball, seam and swing, and adjusting to different field settings. Doru was required to present a case study at the BCCI Centre of Excellence on any batter he worked on for two months and Choudhary became his subject. Through the initial assessment and video analysis, I realised that his power-hitting game and pick-up ability to hit sixes is very good. I didnt stop that part of his game and developed more of his hitting game for T20s facing fast bowlers, handling new ball and adapting his game as per in and out field settings. I do feel due to the work done by me on him for those two months, his confidence increased and shot selection had major improvements, he said. Choudhary scored 44 as an opener against Chhattisgarh, before becoming the top run-getter in the Under-23 List A trophy amassing 617 runs at an average of nearly 103 and a strike rate of over 142, laced with 39 sixes and 34 fours. After Rajasthan lost to Jammu and Kashmir during the Ranji Trophy game in two days in Srinagar, an optional training session was arranged the following morning. Of 15 squad members, only two turned up: Choudhary and Sumit Goddar. Doru also offers an insightful technical explanation of why Choudhary hits the ball the way he does via his supple wrists, and a wonderful bat speed. Technically, he is in more of a sideways position and his shoulders are closed. When there is an incoming ball, his shoulders do not open - so he has to play that helicopter shot because he needs to open his body to play in the leg side. But his body is closed and doesnt open up and then he has to play with the wrists or the helicopter shot, which is his natural shot. In the coming times, the teams will plan to target him with balls on the feet, pads and hips because he keeps his body closed. But then the advantage of keeping his body closed is because his shoulders are also closed, he gets the full arc with the bat to hit the shots and use the helicopter shot and the wrists to hit sixes. He understands his strengths well to hit the helicopter shot and has a lot of power in his wrists. Apart from that helicopter shot, he hit a slower bouncer on the off-stump for six. Normally, people hit that over the slip via an uppercut, but he hit it over cover. Again he hit a six over extra cover on the wide yorker and that shows he read the situation well. He knows what the bowler is going to bowl according to the field. According to that, he prepares himself and thats his speciality, elaborated Doru. Doru recalled that for the last 18 months, Choudhary has practiced hitting 100-200 sixes daily, especially after noting the reality of modern T20 cricket. The aim of all players nowadays is to play IPL and only those who can hit sixes can play IPL in todays time. He practiced hitting sixes relentlessly and all of that is paying off now. If you compare him with other batters in his age group, he has a lot of strength and that is why he hits those really good sixes. Without the superb strength in his wrists and a powerful physical build, one cant hit sixes strongly, he said. In a recent report sent to the RCA, Doru wrote that Choudhary has a very good attitude, is very confident and ready to take any challenge. He is always ready to do anything and will never say no. Theres a strong conviction in Dorus voice when he says Choudhary will play for India very soon. His conviction is rooted in his rare appetite for risk - consistently volunteering for challenges others avoided and making the team win from dire situations. It is very difficult to play at number six or seven positions. If you get a finisher like this, one can go up very fast. As Justin Langer said, it is very difficult to play in those positions as you have to play till the end and hit the shots as well. Add to it, you have to manage playing with a tail-ender, which is again a very difficult part.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score In that Udaipur restaurant, scepticism of Dorus friends vanished on witnessing Choudharys clinical finish.

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.

IPL 2026: Unchanged Punjab Kings Opt To Bowl Against Sunrisers Hyderabad
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.

Chennai Super Kings: Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will clash with Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 18 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 to be played at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday as they look to end the quest for their first win in this season. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have had a poor start to their campaign this season, with the five-time champions still searching for their first win after losing all three matches so far. Their run began with a defeat to the Rajasthan Royals, followed by another setback against the Punjab Kings. In their latest outing, they were comfortably beaten by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). With pressure mounting, CSK will be eager to bounce back and finally get off the mark in front of their home fans. In contrast, the Delhi Capitals have looked like a composed and well-rounded side in IPL 2026. They kicked off their season with back-to-back victories over Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians, impressing with both their strong batting lineup and disciplined bowling attack. However, their winning momentum was halted in their previous match, where they fell agonisingly short, losing by just one run to the Gujarat Titans. The head-to-head record between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals in T20 matches shows a clear edge for CSK. Out of 31 matches played between the two sides, Chennai Super Kings have won 19, while Delhi Capitals have secured 12 victories. There have been no tied matches or no results in their encounters. The rivalry began on May 2, 2008, with Delhi Capitals winning the first-ever fixture, and in their most recent meeting on April 5, 2025, Delhi Capitals emerged victorious.

Indian Premier League: Over its 19-year existence, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has pushed to the forefront many unknown young Indian pacers who have wrestled with the speed gun and made a name for themselves. Ashok Sharma, Gujarat Titans' lightning-quick bowler, is the latest local-boy-turned-speed-demon who has caught the imagination of IPL fans, just like his peers. Sharma hopes to one day play for India, terrorizing batters in the international circuit. From the likes of Kamran Khan in 2008 to Umran Malik in 2021-22 and Mayank Yadav a couple of seasons back. Some of them have blown the speed gun before injuries halted their progress. The 23-year-old Ashok became the newest pace sensation to emerge on the IPL horizon when he bowled the fastest delivery of the IPL 2026 season on April 4, hitting a stunning 154.2 kph thunderbolt against Rajasthan Royals (RR). Ashok Sharma went past South African quick Anrich Nortjes 150.9 clicks for Lucknow Super Giants, becoming only the second 150 kph-plus ball in the season. In a media interaction on Friday, Sharma avoided answering questions on IPL speed demons that have faced away after hitting the 150 kmph mark on the speed gun, beset by injuries. He said if he keeps following his process, sleeps well, and eats well, he would be able to avoid injuries. Sharma, who says that, unlike at the domestic level, the margin of error is small in IPL, is banking on following the processes diligently and consistently and says that will keep him in good standing. I want to do what I have been consistently following so farsuch as sleeping on time and eating on timeis what I prioritize. If I have to go to the gym, I go; if I have to go to the pool, I gothese are the things I focus on the most, Ashok Sharma said in the media interaction from the Gujarat Titans base in Ahmedabad. Sharma said he is not gunning for the record for the fastest record in IPL history -- which is 157kmph clocked by Umran Malik while playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad. No, I don't have any such thoughts in my mindthat I need to break a record. Ive always maintained that I simply want to perform well for the team and play for India, said Ashok Sharma. Sharma has a great mentor in the form of former India pacer Ashish Nehra, the Gujarat Titans head coach. But Sharma said, both of his mentors have told him not to think of the speed record but rather to concentrate on following the process and honing his skills. Sharma, who has been with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals, for whom he was a bet bowler, before joining Gujarat Titans for Rs 90 lakh in the latest auction, does not depend on raw pace; he has a good back-of-hand slower delivery and a mean yorker. Sharma said these are his go-to deliveries. My 'back-of-the-hand' slower ball is quite effective, and I tend to take the most wickets using my slower ones and my yorkers, said the pacer who hails from Rampura, around 80km from Jaipur. His father, Nathulal, is a farmer, and Ashok is following in the footsteps of his brother Akshay, who put his aspirations on hold to help his brother live his cricket dream. Now, with success coming his way, Ashok is keeping himself grounded and says he is not getting carried away by fame. What is keeping him on the ground is the support from his family. As for my family, their perspective hasn't really changed at all. To them, I am the same person as before, and I remain the same person now. There isn't really any difference; they treat me the same way. Regarding friends and relatives, if someone is doing well, they go, 'Wow! Amazing!' But if someone isn't doing anything at the moment, theyll say things like, What is he even doing? Hes not doing anything at all!'that sort of attitude. As for supportwhatever support I can provide... whatever support people ask of meI am doing my best to provide it, said Sharma. Now, with success coming his way, Ashok is keeping himself grounded and says he is not getting carried away by fame. What is keeping him on the ground is the support from his family.

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.
