Chennai Super Kings: Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have provided a positive update on injured left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed, confirming that he has successfully undergone surgery after being ruled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 due to a quadricep injury.

'His Fielding Level Has Got To Go Up': Bishop Criticises Sundar After Kohli's Catch Drop
Former West Indies: Former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop expressed concern over Washington Sundars fielding standards after the all-rounder dropped a crucial catch of Virat Kohli during the clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday, a moment that proved decisive in the outcome of the match. After being put in to bat, Gujarat Titans posted a competitive 205/3, but a crucial moment unfolded in the very first over of RCBs chase when Kohli was dropped on zero by Washington Sundar off the bowling of Mohammed Siraj. The missed opportunity proved decisive as Kohli went on to anchor the chase with a brilliant 81 off 44 balls, guiding the defending champions towards victory. No, I see that differently. Yeah. We've all dropped catches. Sure. You don't pick and choose which ones you drop. Okay. Right? Bishop told ESPNCricinfo. Bishop, however, emphasised the need for improvement from Sundar in the field, stating that the youngster has a lot of time left and should focus on his fitness to be more useful for the team. But what I would, I would ask Washy, Washington Sundar, your level of fielding has got to go up. I think Washy is not; he's a young guy. He's athletic enough, he said. And for too long, I'm seeing missed opportunities with him. So I would ask him to put a little bit more work into that. So he becomes an asset in the field, in addition to all the other things, Bishop added. Former South Africa pacer Dale Steyn also weighed in on the costly dropped catch, stressing that certain chances in cricket simply cannot be missed, especially when it involves a batter of Virat Kohlis calibre. Steyn highlighted that while dropped catches are part of the game, there are moments that demand absolute precision, and this was one of them. And for too long, I'm seeing missed opportunities with him. So I would ask him to put a little bit more work into that. So he becomes an asset in the field, in addition to all the other things, Bishop added. Also Read: Live Cricket Score That catch. Actually, it doesn't matter who it is. You just can't drop that. That's 10 out of 10; you should be taking it. I mean, the cricketers, there are those you drop. There are those you just can't drop, he added. Article Source: IANS

Sudharsan Need To Step Up His Aggression Level: Ian Bishop
Former West Indies: Former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop pointed out the lack of speed in Gujarat Titans opener batter Sai Sudharsan's after his breathtaking IPL century against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and stated that he needed to tep up his aggression level in his batting approach. Sudharsan lit up the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium with a sensational 100 off 58 and in the process etched his name in the IPL records by becoming the fastest batter to reach 2,000 runs. But it wasnt enough as GT went down fighting against RCB by five-wickets in a high-scoring clash. Sudharsan, who was the Orange Cap winner from IPL 2025, had a patchy start to IPL 2026 as he had just one fifty-plus score before his century against RCB. He's one of the guys that needed to step up his aggression level. For the most part of that innings, I thought he was outstanding for a very orthodox player, Bishop said on ESPNcricinfo's TimeOut. I think that hundred would be very, very pleasing for him and for the GT dugout, and for the IPL as a whole, because here's another guy who gets another hundred - they've been coming in thick and fast in the last week and a half, hasn't it? He certainly did his part. If we're asking other guys that should have stepped up, at least Sai Sudarshan did his part. Meanwhile, former South African pcaer Dale Steyn was impressed with Sudharan's innings and said the opener knows exactly how and where he wants to score his runs. He certainly did his part. If we're asking other guys that should have stepped up, at least Sai Sudarshan did his part. Also Read: Live Cricket Score It was similar to the way that Sanju Samson got his hundred the other night. I think it's calculated, you know, he knows exactly how and where he wants to score his runs and then he put on a show, said Steyn. Article Source: IANS

Connor Esterhuizen Has All The Attributes Of A Modern-day Player: Hashim Amla
The SA20 Rising Star: MI Cape Town batting coach Hashim Amla thinks Connor Esterhuizen possesses all the qualities needed to succeed as a modern-day player. Esterhuizens stock has soared dramatically over the past month. The SA20 Rising Star was recently named Player of the Series in New Zealand following an outstanding performance on his first Proteas tour. The Pretoria Capitals' batter shined in Aotearoa, leading to his inclusion among the rising group of young South Africans in the IPL. The Gujarat Titans signed the 24-year-old as a replacement for Englands Tom Banton, who was a former teammate at MI Cape Town. Amla has collaborated extensively with Esterhuizen, spending two seasons together at MI Cape Town before his transfer to the Capitals, and also working domestically with the Lions. When we met at the Lions, he was always one of those youngsters who was extremely eager to learn and to try new things. I think that's so important for anybody who wants to try and play all formats successfully. There's a type of mental elasticity you need to have to be able to go from format to format. That also has to come into your training and your ability to work with different plans. The switch between different plans has to happen quickly. From the time we met, he always had that eagerness to learn and to explore these things, Amla told SA20. The Proteas legend, with 18672 runs in all international formats, believes Esterhuizens capacity to absorb information distinguishes him from others. He's one of those players who, when you watch them early on, you think, 'Oh, he's got something.' His growth has been very quick. That is something very nice to see, because when someone is hungry to learn - like all youngsters - they will receive a lot of information. I suppose one of the skills you have to learn is how to filter the information you receive, Amla said. Once you experiment with it, you have to quickly understand what works within your game and what doesn't. His call-up to the national team was not a surprise because he did really well in four-day cricket, and he had a good T20 competition with the Lions as well. It was no surprise; he's one of those players who has been consistently scoring runs, so he was bound to get a call-up. I think he embodies the modern-day player. He has the attributes of the modern-day player. He's got a good technique, but he can hit a long ball. After spending time at Surrey, a prominent English County Championship team, during the final parts of his playing career, Amla observed England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith's rise at The Oval and believed Esterhuizen could similarly succeed in international cricket. If you think of someone like Jamie Smith, for example, from England, he's also a very young player. When I started at Surrey, he was a youngster coming through, and he had similar attributes, Amla said . He had a good technique, was very strong, and could hit boundaries. That type of player now, you see them in Test cricket, fulfilling that role in the middle order where they can take the game away. Connor is, in a way, similar to that. He has a good enough techniqueor quite a good techniqueto handle a moving ball, but once an opportunity comes for them to score, it's hard to stop them, he added. There has been much debate about the ideal position for Esterhuizen in the batting order. While at MI Cape Town, he was used as a finisher, but with the Capitals, he was moved up the batting lineup. Esterhuizen has stated that he currently has no preferred position, and Amla considers this flexibility to enhance his market value. He's one of those players who we felt could play anywhere from 1 to 6. Even with the Lions, from 1 to 6, he can fit anywhere, Amla said . There has been much debate about the ideal position for Esterhuizen in the batting order. While at MI Cape Town, he was used as a finisher, but with the Capitals, he was moved up the batting lineup. Esterhuizen has stated that he currently has no preferred position, and Amla considers this flexibility to enhance his market value. Also Read: Live Cricket Score He's got the strength for that. To find the best position for him, I would say looking at a No. 4 position might be a buffer between the top order and the middle order, Amla stated. Article Source: IANS

Gavaskar Blames Dropped Kohli Catch for GTs Loss as RCB Seal Chase
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar believes Gujarat Titans paid a heavy price for dropping Virat Kohli, early in the chase, that helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) seal a five-wicket win. After being put in to bat, GT posted a competitive 205/3, but a crucial moment unfolded in the very first over of RCBs chase when Kohli was dropped on zero by Washington Sundar off the bowling of Mohammed Siraj. The missed opportunity proved decisive as Kohli went on to anchor the chase with a brilliant 81 off 44 balls, guiding the defending champions towards victory. That dropped catch of Virat Kohli off Sirajs bowling definitely cost Gujarat Titans a lot. We all know he is not just known as a king. He is known as a chase master as well. He loves these kinds of situations where he comes in to bat, knows the target, and can play according to the situation, Gavaskar told JioStar, reacting to the turning point of the game. Speaking about the impact of the early reprieve, he added, You drop him on the first ball, then he will definitely make you pay. That is exactly what he did. After that dropped catch, what a knock he has played. Kohlis innings not only laid the foundation for the chase but also saw him achieve milestones, becoming the first player to reach 800 fours in IPL history and only the third to hit 300 sixes in the tournament. Gavaskar further highlighted Kohlis mastery in run chases, stating, Chasing down huge totals with ease has been Virats trademark batting style throughout his career. GT must be thinking about that dropped catch. At one point in the run chase, when the spinners were bowling, the ball was gripping a bit. It would not have been that easy once the ball got a little older. But this man is one of the greatest in the game. He made it look easy. In addition to Kohlis brilliance, Gavaskar also praised Devdutt Padikkal for his aggressive approach in the middle overs, where he scored a quickfire 55 to keep RCB ahead of the required rate. Devdutt Padikkal played an excellent innings. Virat Kohli rightly pointed out after the match that Padikkal has been hitting some very clean cricketing shots. Earlier, he was seen as an off-side player. His main scoring areas were cover and mid-off. He used to struggle on the on-side. But now he has overcome that limitation. He is hitting sixes and boundaries behind square as well, Gavaskar said. In addition to Kohlis brilliance, Gavaskar also praised Devdutt Padikkal for his aggressive approach in the middle overs, where he scored a quickfire 55 to keep RCB ahead of the required rate.

Krunal Pandya on India Dream, Pressure Handling After Match-Winning RCB Cameo
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) all-rounder Krunal Pandya reflected on his ultimate goal, stating that his aim has always been to play for India and stated that theres no better feeling than donning the national jersey. He also spoke about handling pressure situations and the importance of experience after playing a decisive cameo in his teams five-wicket win over the Gujarat Titans in their recently concluded IPL 2026 match at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Chasing a stiff target of 206, RCB rode on a commanding 81 from Virat Kohli and a blistering 55 by Devdutt Padikkal to stay on course. However, a mini-collapse in the latter stages left the side needing composure in the death overs before Krunal stepped up with an unbeaten 23 off 12 balls to seal the chase on Friday. Walking in at a tense juncture, Krunal admitted the pressure was palpable, especially given his limited time in the middle this season. There was pressure. Obviously, this was the 7th or 8th match, and before this game, I had played only two innings with the bat. Sometimes, when theres no continuity, you can suddenly get into a pressure situation, Krunal told JioHotstar. He added that his versatility and experience across batting positions helped him stay composed. But Ive been doing this role for a long time, from No. 3 to No. 8. So, whatever experience I have, I try to use it, and I try to be as calm and present as possible in that situation, he said. Krunals counterattack came at a crucial moment when RCB needed quick runs to regain control of the chase. In the 18th over, he took on left-arm spinner Manav Suthar, smashing boundaries and a six to shift momentum decisively in RCB's favour. Speaking about his aspirations beyond the IPL, Krunal reiterated his desire to return to international cricket. Theres nothing bigger than playing in the blue jersey once again. My goal has always been to play for India. But again, what do I have in my control? Consistent performances and how I win games for my team, thats what I try to focus on, he expressed. Krunal emphasised the role of handling pressure and personal growth in shaping his approach, saying, Ive always enjoyed pressure situations. Ive learned a lot from my life in cricket, because you only have one brain and you use the same brain in life and in sports. So, Ive always focused on how I can get better as a person, and that is the reason Im able to play cricket this way. Krunal also spoke about evolving as a bowler in the fast-changing T20 landscape, where batters are constantly innovating. Every year, batting is evolving at such a pace that you genuinely feel, while standing on your mark, 'Where will you bowl?' Because you feel like the batter can hit you anywhere. Krunal emphasised the role of handling pressure and personal growth in shaping his approach, saying, Ive always enjoyed pressure situations. Ive learned a lot from my life in cricket, because you only have one brain and you use the same brain in life and in sports. So, Ive always focused on how I can get better as a person, and that is the reason Im able to play cricket this way. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Krunal further acknowledged the backing of RCBs spin-bowling coach Malolan Rangarajan in helping him develop his craft. I felt that last year was very good for me, so coming into this season, I was thinking about what else I can add to my bowling. A lot of credit goes to our spin-bowling coach, Malolan, who has left me free. He has backed me a lot and gave me confidence. So, that also makes a difference, he mentioned. Article Source: IANS
KL Rahul Eyes Must-Win Approach as Delhi Capitals Gear Up for Crucial Home Clashes
Delhi Capitals (DC) wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul has emphasised the importance of maintaining a must-win mindset as the side prepares for crucial back-to-back home fixtures against the Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at their home ground- the Arun Jaitley Stadium. DC are currently placed sixth in the points table with three wins and three losses from six matches. They began their campaign with consecutive victories over Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians, before suffering back-to-back defeats against Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. While they bounced back with an away win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru, a third loss in their campaign in their previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad has left them looking to regain consistency. Personally, I always take every game as a must-win game and for me I'm pumped that the next two games are against teams that are sitting very comfortably at 1 and 2 in the table, Rahul said in a video shared by Star Sports on X ahead of their clash against PBKS. Highlighting the value of testing themselves against the strongest sides, he added, So, like I said, you want to challenge yourself against the best teams and for us as a team, I think beating RCB and Chinnaswamy gave us a lot of confidence because they're a really good team. Punjab Kings, who currently sit atop the standings, have been one of the standout teams this season, and Rahul acknowledged the challenge they pose. Punjab right now are playing some exceptional cricket. They seem unbeatable at the moment. So, that's what is challenging and that's what is exciting for us to take it on ourselves to see how we can put pressure on Punjab early in the game and see how we can get two points. The wicketkeeper-batter stressed that wins against top teams could significantly boost the squads belief and standing. That will give us tremendous confidence and then from there, we'll go on to RCB and if we can get back-to-back wins, that will obviously give us points and help us sit pretty in the table but also give us that confidence within the group that there's no doubt that we have the skill and we have the talent and we have everything that is required for us to be a champion team, he said. Rahul further underlined the importance of translating potential into results. Only when that translates to performance and victories against good teams, that's when you start feeling confident and you sort of get a little bit of arrogance which you need in today's game and in modern T20 game, you need a bit of arrogance to walk in there telling the opposition that we're too good, we feel like we can beat anybody on a given day or even if we don't have a good day, we'll still beat you. The wicketkeeper-batter stressed that wins against top teams could significantly boost the squads belief and standing. That will give us tremendous confidence and then from there, we'll go on to RCB and if we can get back-to-back wins, that will obviously give us points and help us sit pretty in the table but also give us that confidence within the group that there's no doubt that we have the skill and we have the talent and we have everything that is required for us to be a champion team, he said.

IPL 2026: Kohli, Padikkal Guide RCB To Five-wicket Victory Over GT
Impact Player Jacob Bethell: Veteran Virat Kohli (81) and Devdutt Padikkal (55) led a strong charge as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) surged to a five-wicket victory over the Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 34 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday. RCBs reply got a lucky break early on when Kohli, trying his signature flick off Mohammed Siraj, hit it too high and was dropped by Washington Sundar at short midwicket. This mistake proved costly. Kohli quickly found his rhythm, while Impact Player Jacob Bethell had a brief moment of luck before he edged one to backward point and fell to Kagiso Rabada. Padikkal wasted no time making an impact. He took on Rabadas pace, which was clocked at 153.6 kph, hitting a six over deep square leg. He then punished Siraj for his mistakes with boundaries and a lofted six over extra cover. Kohli joined in soon after, stepping down the track against Rabada and scoring his 800th IPL four, becoming the first batter to hit this milestone. The momentum swung as Padikkal dominated the middle overs, taking apart Prasidh Krishna with a series of boundaries and sixes, including a flick, a pull, and a loft over long-off. He then targeted Rashid Khan, launching him for six over long-off and sweeping for another six, bringing up a blazing half-century off just 30 balls. At one point, he raced to 50 in only 20 deliveries. Meanwhile, Kohli made the most of his early chance. He reached a significant milestone by pulling Rashid for his 300th IPL six, joining an elite group behind only Rohit Sharma and Chris Gayle. Not willing to take a back seat, Kohli attacked Rabada, hitting a flick for four and a towering six over deep midwicket, which kept the required rate manageable. Padikkal's innings ended on 55 off 27 balls when Rashid fooled him with a googly that clipped the bails. However, Kohli continued, taking on Jason Holder with two consecutive sixesone a powerful flick over deep midwicket and the other lofted over mid-off. The veteran eventually fell for 81 off 44 balls, chopping a slower ball from Holder onto his stumps. By then, RCB had taken control of the chase, scoring quickly and staying well ahead in their pursuit. Earlier, the Gujarat Titans set a competitive total of 205/3, highlighted by a brilliant century by Sai Sudharsan. The left-hander overcame a tough start against Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood, who both extracted movement and bounce, before seizing control as the conditions improved. Sudharsan raced to 41 off 27 balls, helping GT to 57/0 in the powerplay. He reached his half-century in 33 balls and continued to dominate the middle overs with a mix of creative strokes and calculated aggression. A standout moment occurred when he uppercut Krunal Pandya for six and followed it with a slog sweep to reach his 2000th IPL run, becoming the fastest to this milestone in 47 innings, ahead of Gayle, Shaun Marsh, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and KL Rahul. Sudharsan eventually fell for an excellent 100 off 58 balls to Hazlewood, ending hopes for a late surge. Contributions from Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler, along with a late push from Holder and Washington Sundar, ensured GT crossed the 200-mark. However, RCBs aggressive response, led by Kohli and Padikkal, kept them ahead in what became a high-scoring contest. Rajat Patidar and Jitesh Sharma tried to end things quickly by hitting sixes off Rashid Khan, but the leg-spinner fought back by having Jitesh caught in the covers. From the other end, left-arm spinner Manav Suthar tricked Patidar in the air, getting him to hit a miscue to extra cover and leaving RCB five down. Krunal Pandya took charge just when the chase looked like it might fall apart. In the 18th over, he hit back-to-back boundaries and then a huge six over deep midwicket to start a decisive counterattack against Suthar. Krunal's unbeaten 23 off 12 balls, which included 17 runs in the over, helped RCB win the game by five wickets. Rajat Patidar and Jitesh Sharma tried to end things quickly by hitting sixes off Rashid Khan, but the leg-spinner fought back by having Jitesh caught in the covers.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Sai Sudharsan played a calm yet strong innings, leading Gujarat Titans to a solid score of 205/3 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. After scoring 100 off 58 balls, he said his innings was as much about finishing well as about finding form. It was always coming. I was touching the ball well in the last few innings and was really grateful to God. Really happy to contribute to the team. I think with the level of communication we understood it was two-paced and sticky, and it was a natural instinct to take the game deeper. The left-handed batter had a challenging start as Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood found early movement, beating his outside edge and concerning him with bounce. A fortunate edge for four helped him settle in, but once the conditions improved, Sudharsan picked up the pace. He started finding boundaries with accuracy and hit the first six of the innings in the fifth over. He dominated the powerplay, reaching 41 off 27 balls as GT scored 57/0, before smoothly moving into the middle overs. Combining smart aggression with effective strike rotation, he reached his half-century in 33 balls. Then, he stepped it up further, taking on Romario Shepherd and Krunal Pandya with inventive shots, including a daring uppercut for six.

IPL 2026: Sudharsans Ton Lifts GT To 205/3 Against RCB
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Sai Sudharsan anchored Gujarat Titans' (GT) innings with an impressive 100 off 58 balls and helped visitors put up a competitive total of 205/3 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the 34th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday. Sudharsan started a bit shaky when Bhuvneshwar Kumar got the ball to move away, creating a thick outside edge that went past the short third for four. On the other end, Josh Hazlewood made things tough early on. He hit Sudharsan on the pads and repeatedly beat his outside edge, with Sudharsan often late on his shots. However, as the initial movement faded, Sudharsan began to settle, steering one deliberately past the short third and punching another through the covers to find his rhythm. The breakthrough came in the fifth over when Sudharsan hit the first six of the innings. After scooping Hazlewood past the keeper for four, he cut the seamer over cover-point for a maximum and followed it up by slicing another boundary behind point, racing to 41 off 27 balls while Shubman Gill had faced just three deliveries. The Gujarat Titans finished the Power-play strongly at 57/0, with Sudharsan in control. He kept attacking, facing Rasikh Salam with successive boundariesa pull and a cutwhile ensuring the scoring rate stayed above 10 runs per over. Gill contributed with a boundary in the final over of the Power-play, but the focus remained firmly on Sudharsan. Even when Krunal Pandya tried to tighten things briefly with variations in pace and angle, Sudharsan smartly rotated the strike to prevent any slowdown. The left-hander brought up his half-century in style, reaching 50 off just 33 balls with a scoop for six off Romario Shepherd, followed by a sharp boundary through covers. The over became the most expensive of the innings as Gill joined in with a classic pull. Sudharsan then delivered one of the highlights of the innings by uppercutting Krunal for a six over deep thirdan audacious shotbefore slog-sweeping another maximum to mark his 2000th IPL run. He became the fastest to reach this milestone in 47 innings, surpassing Chris Gayle (48), with Shaun Marsh (52), Ruturaj Gaikwad (57), and KL Rahul (60) following behind. Sudharsan kept the momentum going into the middle overs, hitting Suyash Sharma for a six over wide long-off and smashing a straight drive that struck the bowler, briefly stopping play. Suyash returned to dismiss Gill with a googly, caught at long-on. Jos Buttler, in his 500th T20 match, added some energy with 17 off nine balls, including a four and a six. Hazlewood eventually ended Sudharsans excellent innings by forcing a mistimed pull that resulted in a return catch. With Sudharsan out for 100 off 58, Gujarat lost the chance for a late surge, but Washington Sundar provided some quick runs with a six and a four. Suyash Sharma delivered a tidy four-run 17th over before walking off for medical attention following the earlier blow to his hand, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar followed it up with an equally economical five-run over while dismissing Jos Buttler, who reverse-scooped a low full toss to short third. Drama unfolded ahead of the final over as Rasikh Salam pulled up near the umpire with cramps and had to walk off despite brief treatment, forcing Rajat Patidar to hand the ball to Krunal Pandya to complete the innings. Holder hammered two maximums and a boundary in the last over to help GT reach 205/3. For RCB, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, and Suyash Sharma picked up a wicket each.

Ridding on Sanju Samson's (101 not out), laced with 10 fours and six sixes, CSK 207/6. In reply, MI never got going, as the hosts kept losing wickets at regular intervals, and were shot out for just 104 in 19 overs. Akeal Hosein was outstanding for CSK, registering figures of 4-17. We have managed just four points from seven matches. Disappointed to have lost this game. We lost our rhythm in the two powerplays itself, first with the ball and then with the bat. We have a break now, we will think and discuss what we need to do in the next seven games. Here too, we bowled well in patches but when 20-plus extra runs are given away, it is difficult to claw back into the game. As a team we all have to improve, Jayawardene said in a post match presser. If you analyse the seven games, yes, there was a hole in our bowling and we got some fresh faces in there. The win against Gujarat Titans in] Ahmedabad looked good. Again, here, I thought in patches we bowled well. It is just execution-wise, consistency-wise, I think we are one of the teams that has given the highest number of big overs - 18-plus overs, if you look at the half-season, he added. MII fell short in the powerplay, both with ball and bat. They scored their lowest powerplay total against CSK in the IPL on a day when their opponents had scored their second-highest total in that phase against them. Once you lose a match like that, it's difficult to even analyse it. But probably where we lost both the powerplays with the ball and with the bat, we just couldn't get to the game. We had a great game in Ahmedabad, I thought we found some rhythm, but again, we lost that rhythm. MII fell short in the powerplay, both with ball and bat. They scored their lowest powerplay total against CSK in the IPL on a day when their opponents had scored their second-highest total in that phase against them.
