IPL 2026: Gill, Washington Sundar, Buttler Smash Fifties Each, Power GT To 210/4 Against DC

Indian Premier League: Captain Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, and Washington Sundar hit blazing fifties each as Gujarat Titans posted 210/4 in their 20 overs against Delhi Capitals in match 14 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Wednesday. Yet GT could be left wondering if they could have got more runs, considering they made only 58 runs in the last six overs. Buttler was back to his devastating best with the bat by hitting a 27-ball 52, laced with three fours and five towering sixes. Gill, back in action after a muscle spasm in his neck ruled him out in the last game, was elegant in collecting the majority of his runs through leg-side to top-score with 70 off 45 balls, laced with four boundaries and five sixes. He also shared a commanding 104-run partnership with Washington, who hit his first IPL fifty via a 32-ball 55, studded with six boundaries and two sixes. For DC, Lungi Ngidi changed the complexion of the match in the back end with his slower balls to end up with 1-24 in his four overs, even as the rest of his bowling counterparts had an economy rate above eight. Sai Sudharsan got GTs innings going by clipping Mukesh Kumar for four, before Gill unleashed a backfoot drive racing through backward point for another boundary. After leaning into an exquisite cover drive off Ngidi, Sudharsan got out for a score below fifty for the first time in IPL games in New Delhi by chopping on to his stumps off Mukesh. Buttler showed signs of his old blistering self when he lofted Mukesh for six, before going inside-out and lofting Axar Patel for four and six respectively. Buttler showcased his full range in Mukeshs third over a scoop over fine leg for six was followed by a maximum launched clean down the ground, and then a lofted drive over extra cover cleared the ropes easily, as 23 runs came off it. Gill, meanwhile, had the best seat in the house to watch the carnage from the other end as Buttler swatted Ngidi for four, before getting his fifty in 24 balls. But Kuldeep Yadav's short ball ended Buttlers fun it didnt bounce much as he went for the pull, and was castled. With T Natarajan giving away 13 runs in his first two overs, Gill and Sundar kept the scoreboard ticking via strike rotation and hitting occasional boundaries. But it was in the 12th over, bowled by Vipraj Nigam, where both Sundar and Gill broke free to raise fifty of their partnership in 26 balls. Sundar began with three pulled fours off short balls, and all went in the gap between deep mid-wicket and long-on for two fours and a six, which came off a no-ball. Gill then joined the carnage by dispatching a full toss flat straight over the bowler's head, before slog-sweeping Kuldeep for another maximum and reaching his fifty in 33 balls by sweeping a dipping full toss from Ngidi for four. After that, Gill upped his scoring tempo nailing the pull off Natarajan for four, before pulling and lofting Kuldeep for a brace of sixes. But Ngidi ended Gills stay with a slower ball, which he skied to mid-off, as GT went without a boundary in 12 balls at the back end. Washington, though, marched forward to bring up his fifty off 33 balls by heaving and driving Natarajan for consecutive boundaries, before miscuing a loft to mid-off against Mukesh. A brace of boundaries from Glenn Phillips took GT to exactly 210 and put DC on the path of an uphill chase. After that, Gill upped his scoring tempo nailing the pull off Natarajan for four, before pulling and lofting Kuldeep for a brace of sixes. But Ngidi ended Gills stay with a slower ball, which he skied to mid-off, as GT went without a boundary in 12 balls at the back end.

IPL 2026: If We Get A Bit Of Momentum Going, Then All Goes Well, Says Glenn Phillips

Indian Premier League: The Gujarat Titans' batting all-rounder Glenn Phillips believes getting some momentum through their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against the Delhi Capitals will be key to turning around the teams fortunes in the ongoing season. GT, the IPL 2022 winners, have been winless so far, and a win in New Delhi will help them get off the mark on the points table. It's the same for me as it is for everyone else. We got ourselves into a very good position, the last game especially (against Rajasthan Royals). Obviously, we didn't finish off the things well, so for us it's all about backing our processes, staying well, and doing well. Today is a new day, and it's a long tournament - if we get a bit of momentum going, then all goes well, said Phillips in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. The New Zealand cricketer further stressed focusing only on controllable aspects and drawing motivation from the small wins he gets while playing games. For me, it's about staying focused on things that I can control. Cricket is a funny game. I just tend to focus on things that make me happy, like getting into the team, sticking to my processes as much as possible, and taking the little wins wherever they are. Hopefully that'll keep me up and motivated for the next day, he said. Phillips also lauded GTs newly-appointed batting coach, Matthew Hayden, for his process-driven approach in guiding the batters. He has been fantastic. He was simply a process-driven player back in his day. I just tend to focus on things that make me happy, like getting into the team, sticking to my processes as much as possible, and taking the little wins wherever they are. Hopefully that'll keep me up and motivated for the next day, he said.

IPL 2026: Gill Returns To Lead Gujarat Titans As Delhi Capitals Opt To Bowl First

Indian Premier League: Shubman Gill returned to lead the Gujarat Titans as Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel won the toss and elected to bowl first in Match 14 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Wednesday. DC arrive for their first evening game at their home ground after winning back-to-back games, while GT, the IPL 2022 winners, get in to get off the mark on the points table. After winning the toss for the third straight time, Axar said his playing eleven is unchanged from their six-wicket win over the Mumbai Indians. We've chased well in the last two matches, and this is a fresh wicket. It's been raining; there could be some moisture. Obviously, we watch as many match-ups as possible, and we try to make it as difficult as possible for the batters to hit. I don't just use match-ups. According to the wicket, if any bowler gives me a good run, then I rotate him according to that. So far, in two matches, it's been good. I hope it continues, he said. Gill, meanwhile, said his neck is much better after a muscle spasm there led to him missing the game against the Rajasthan Royals in Ahmedabad, which GT lost by six runs. Gill, who said the muscle spasm was similar to the injury he suffered in the Kolkata Test against South Africa last year, said he would have batted first anyway. With Gill coming in, Kumar Kushagra moves out of GTs playing eleven. If the weather stays this way, there'll be no dew in the second innings. I mean, it's all about assessing the conditions in the first couple of overs. I think we've been having some good opening partnerships with me and Sai (Sudharsan). So, hopefully, we have a good Power-play and then we can post some good totals along the board. It's all about clicking in that one game. Even in the last game, we came pretty close, losing by not that many runs. Its just one guy sticking till the end, whether someone from the middle order or from the top order, and maybe today is the day, he said. Pitch number five is being used for Wednesdays clash, which means the square boundaries are equidistant, while the straight boundary stands at 73m. Kevin Pietersen and Daren Ganga observed that theres less grass cover on the pitch, and its lighter colours mean it may be a dry wicket, but still conducive for making big runs.

IPL 2026: Lungi Ngidi Is Easy To Handle, Knows His Bowling Areas Well, Says Munaf Patel

T20 World Cup: Delhi Capitals (DC) bowling coach Munaf Patel has lavished praise on South Africa fast bowler Lungi Ngidi, describing him as a smart, self-aware bowler who understands Indian conditions well and is among the easiest overseas players to work with in the dressing room. Ngidi has filled the void left by Mitchell Starcs absence so far by relying on his deceptive slower balls, which dip late to fox batters. An instance of this was seen in DCs six-wicket win over the Mumbai Indians, where Ngidi trapped Suryakumar Yadav lbw for 51, when he just looked to accelerate. Ngidis slower balls have fetched him 11 wickets at a tight economy rate of 6.8 and a strike rate of 14. If you want to become a good bowler in today's era, then you will have to bring good variations. So he has slower balls and continues to play for South Africa. He has also played in this years Mens T20 World Cup in India. So he has ideas of bowling on these wickets. He has been in the IPL for a long time and with other teams. He was there last year as well. So he has an idea of bowling his variations as per conditions and Indian wickets. He is not like other bowlers, who try to bowl 150 kmph and get hit. He stays in his own area, and whenever there is a need for variations, he uses his own slower ones or yorkers, said Munaf in the pre-match press conference, ahead of DC taking on Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday. Munaf, who played 13 Tests, 70 ODIs, and three T20Is for India, also spoke of the close working relationship he has built with Ngidi at DC. If we talk about Lungi, he is a good bowler in his area. He is a very good bowler for his own bowling - I can tell you this. I talk to him every day, because my job is to talk to the bowler, and to satisfy him or to add more to his armoury if there is anything, like a slower one or a yorker. Lungi is a good person; he is easy to handle. He is not like other foreigners, who are difficult to handle, he said. Turning to left-arm seamer T Natarajan, whos done well with slower balls at the back end, Munaf said his work with Natarajan during the IPL window is focused squarely on reinforcing the pacer's strengths. I believe that you will have to do more bowling. He was injured only last year. He was playing day cricket and one-day cricket. But the injury he had was prolonged. Because of that, he was not able to play, neither on days nor on one day. That is why he has decided, for now, that he will only play T20. But I think that in the next year, he will play days and one-day games, according to how he is bowling. I don't work with him the whole year because he plays domestically from there, and he works with his coaches. But in these 2-3 months, I work on bowling only because we have trainers who work on his fitness. I always ask him to bowl as per his own strengths. He has slower ones and yorkers; he is a specialist in death overs. So I do the work on where his speciality is, he said. On Mukesh Kumar, Munaf said the Indian pacer has shown clear improvement after working specifically on his new-ball discipline. I have been working with Mukesh for the last few months because he had a problem with the line and length last year. A lot of people questioned it. Whenever you play, your new ball will be 100 per cent better, and the test match length will be good. So I work with Mukesh on the same variation, and I work more on using the new ball well because he is mainly a new-ball bowler. A new ball bowler will have to put more overs in the power play or put more overs in between. So I always expect him to play as a main bowler, he said. Munaf also outlined his clear-eyed view of what separates winning and losing sides in T20 cricket, which is placing enormous value on picking wickets in the powerplay, something which DC have done well so far. I see T20 cricket in one way - if you take wickets in six overs, no team will get to 200. When the partnership is good and that six-over phase in power-play is used well, then you can cross 200; otherwise, you can't. Now I can say that all the teams that are stopping under 200, it is just that the power play is very important. If two to three wickets are taken out and you are able to keep them to 40-42 runs, then it is very difficult to go to 200 unless you are bowling very badly in the last six overs. So I don't think that if any team uses power play well, they would let them cross 200, he said. In his role as bowling coach, Munaf, a member of Indias 2011 ODI World Cup-winning team, said his job is more about guiding bowlers rather than dictating terms. My work is to make them understand and get them to bowl according to their plans. Basically, most of the work is done by the bowlers. For example, how to read the batsman or bowl Test match lengths. But when to bowl, how much to bowl, they have to understand according to the situation. You cannot bowl continuously in the same way, even if you are getting hit - it is not possible to do that. In between, if you are getting swing on the new ball, you can bowl longer. If you are not getting a new ball, then you have to come to your variations, he said. Spelling out his broader coaching philosophy, Munaf noted that international bowlers require far less handholding than their domestic counterparts. Talking to the players is 100 per cent important. You have to guide them and chat about the wicket conditions. Just like Lungi Ngidi, who comes from South Africa, but yes, he has played the World Cup before. But when to bowl, how much to bowl, they have to understand according to the situation. You cannot bowl continuously in the same way, even if you are getting hit - it is not possible to do that. In between, if you are getting swing on the new ball, you can bowl longer. If you are not getting a new ball, then you have to come to your variations, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score You do not have to spend too much time with international bowlers, but with domestic players, you tell them how to handle pressure and how to bowl in the first six and the last six overs. Whereas internationals already know how to manage these situations. It is great that Axar is an all-rounder. Both Kuldeep and Axar are there to guide the likes of Vipraj Nigam when playing in the middle overs, and that helps, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

Arun Jaitley Stadium: Delhi Capitals (DC) bowling coach Munaf Patel said there is still no clarity on when Australia left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc will join the franchise for IPL 2026, even as the Axar Patel-led side have won both of their matches without him. Ahead of IPL 2026 season, DC had said they were awaiting a word on the NoC for Starc, who would miss the initial few matches due to his workload being managed by Cricket Australia (CA), keeping the international schedule in mind. But days later, it emerged that Starc is currently recovering from shoulder and elbow injuries. I ask people around everyday, about the timing of his arrival and by when he is coming and what the details are because he is important for us, as a main bowler. Actually I also have the same question everyday. Till now there is no update on when he will come because the update will come from the Australian board, his physio, or trainer, said Munaf in the pre-match press conference on Tuesday. DC have won both of their matches so far in this season in Starc's absence and are aiming to complete a hat-trick of wins when they take on a winless Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday. Munaf, a member of Indias 2011 Mens ODI World Cup winning team, left no doubt about Starc's stature in the IPL, adding that hes in a league of his own alongside India's ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah. DC have won both of their matches so far in this season in Starc's absence and are aiming to complete a hat-trick of wins when they take on a winless Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday. Also Read: Live Cricket Score But your big bowler is obviously a big bowler. I don't think there is a bigger bowler than Starc in the entire IPL. There is only Bumrah, who you can compare with because you can see how much experience he has, how hard he can bowl. He can swing with a new ball at 140-plus - so that will be a different thing. That we are winning, and you are not remembering him, is a different thing, he added. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: Shubman Gill To Play In GT's Clash Against DC, Confirms Sai Sudharsan

Arun Jaitley Stadium: Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill will be available for the team's upcoming IPL 2026 against Delhi Capitals (DC), to be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday, confirmed his opening partner B Sai Sudharsan. Gill missed GTs clash against Rajasthan Royals, which they lost by six runs in Ahmedabad, due to a muscle spasm. Shubman has no problem. He is completely fine, he will be fine. Of course, yes (he will open), said Sudharsan in the pre-match press conference. Gill's availability comes as a major boost for IPL 2022 winners GT, who are yet to open their account in the ongoing tournament after consecutive defeats. Sudharsan, however, expressed confidence in the team's ability to bounce back, especially in their middle order batters. I think it is a mixture of both - as opening batters and top three batters, if someone plays longer, it is always a great thing for the team. I think we believe in our middle order, they will (come good). This is the team which you know in which we played last year and we qualified. So it is just two games and I believe and the whole team believes that we will definitely have a great middle order and win games. IPL is such a tournament where in two-three days when you keep on playing matches, momentum is one of the important things in the tournament. Yes, we look back on these 2 games and we have learnt a lot for sure and I think we will look forward to doing that, so that we get our first win and get the momentum back, he said. Left-handed opener Sudharsan has made 86 runs in two games so far and was the leading run-getter in IPL 2025. He further stated that he is always working hard to evolve his batting as per the fast-growing demands of T20 cricket. I think I do not look at it as a different tournament. Wherever I play, whatever matches I play, the preparation is very similar and the effort or the hard work behind it is very similar. I am just grateful and lucky enough to execute it here. Definitely as the sport is evolving and the T20 batting is getting greater and greater every season or even every 5-6 months if you can see, it is very important for me to learn from it and be versatile enough to have that in my kitty and equip myself with that. So definitely there are improvements to be made and of course, I am looking at it. Sudharsan also shed light on his mental preparation routine, which he said plays a decisive role in his performances. In most of the part is mental preparation, I think once the pre-season camp is over, I think it is all about fine tuning and having your thoughts clear and having your mind sorted and organised is the biggest thing. I put a lot of time on that - I do yoga, meditation, and visualisation to keep myself mentally fit. Elaborating on GTs batting approach at the top of the order, Sudharsan stressed on reading conditions and building a platform rather than going all guns blazing from the word go. It is important to understand what is required on this wicket to do and then what is required for our team to have a very good start so that our middle order or the lower order have a very good platform to launch in the last four-five overs. Sudharsan also shed light on his mental preparation routine, which he said plays a decisive role in his performances. In most of the part is mental preparation, I think once the pre-season camp is over, I think it is all about fine tuning and having your thoughts clear and having your mind sorted and organised is the biggest thing.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score We are assessing the conditions when we see what is required on this wicket and which will be the best score for our bowling team to defend or let's say if we are chasing what will be the best six overs we can have if we have to have a very good last five overs of platform, he concluded.

Top 5 Youngsters Who Stole The Spotlight In IPL 2026 So Far

The ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 has so far belonged to a fearless new generation of cricketers who have made an immediate impact with bat, ball and in the field. In just the first 11 matches of the season, several young stars have stepped into the spotlight, underlining the leagues growing reputation as a platform where emerging talent thrives under pressure. Among the standout performers are Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Sameer Rizvi, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Prince Yadav and Harsh Dubey, all of whom have played crucial roles for their respective franchises with performances that are ahead of their age and experience. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: The teenage sensation from Bihar has continued his meteoric rise after impressing in age-group and domestic cricket. Carrying his form from recent international youth tournaments into the IPL, he has amassed 252 runs in just seven matches at a staggering strike rate of over 200. His campaign in IPL 2026 began with a blistering 15-ball half-century against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), followed by another explosive innings against Gujarat Titans, setting the tone for the Rajasthan Royals strong start. Sameer Rizvi: Rizvi, who first made headlines in the UP T20 League, has scripted a remarkable comeback after a quiet stint in IPL 2024. Picked up by Delhi Capitals (DC) in the mega auction, the middle-order batter has seized his opportunities this season with back-to-back match-winning performances under pressure. Despite not being a regular starter initially, his consistency has now cemented his place in the playing XI. He scored 70 runs against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the team's first match and then played a match winning 90 runs knock against the Mumbai Indians. Angkrish Raghuvanshi: For Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Raghuvanshi has emerged as a bright spark in an otherwise mixed start to the season. The Mumbai youngster has impressed with successive half-centuries at the top of the order and has also taken on wicketkeeping responsibilities, highlighting the team managements confidence in his all-round abilities.

Delhi Capitals seek runs from top-order against mis-firing Gujarat Titans

IPL 2026: Top Order In Focus As DC Eye Hat-trick Of Victories Over Winless GT (Preview)

Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Delhi Capitals will hope their misfiring top order finally fires as they chase their third straight win of IPL 2026 against a winless Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday. GT leads the head-to-head record 4-3 and have won two out of three matches in New Delhi, including chasing down 200 last year. DC have been clinical in both wins - chasing targets with 17 and 11 balls to spare. But those margins have papered over a persistent crack at the top. KL Rahul, Pathum Nissanka and Nitish Rana have averaged a combined 10.2, leaving the heavy lifting to a middle order that has, so far, answered every call. Against a GT bowling attack desperate to find rhythm, DC's top three cannot afford another meltdown. Rahul has been dismissed in the first over in both outings this season, though memories of his magnificent 112 against GT at this venue last year should help him negotiate the new ball more confidently. Nissanka showed promise with 44 against MI, while Rana needs to break free from his modest returns. Amid the top order's struggles, Sameer Rizvi has been DC's standout performer, single-handedly changing the complexion of both chases via 90 against MI and an unbeaten 70 against Lucknow Super Giants. What makes him particularly dangerous is his ability to shift gears - against LSG he made 12 runs from his first 15 balls before exploding to hit 58 runs off the next 32 deliveries. Against MI, Rizvi was at nine runs from 15 balls before blasting 81 runs off his next 36 deliveries. He leads the tournaments six-hitting charts with 11 maximums and strikes at 207 against spin. His duel with Rashid Khan, whos shown glimpses of returning to his best, will be one of the match's key subplots. DC's bowling has been equally disciplined. Pacers have set the tone in the powerplay before spinners applied the squeeze in middle overs, while Lungi Ngidi and T Natarajan have been effective at the back end with slower ball variations. GT arrive on the back of consecutive defeats and remain heavily reliant on their top three - captain Shubman Gill, B Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler. That dependence is stark: since IPL 2025, GT have won eight of 12 matches when one of the top-order bats beyond 15 overs, but just one of five when all three fall early. Gill's availability is uncertain after he missed the last game with a muscle spasm, increasing the load on Sudharsan and Buttler. Sudharsan, the tournament's leading run-scorer since 2025, has thrived at this venue with scores of 108 not out, 65 and 62 not out. Buttler has found starts but not converted into a big score and his vulnerability against left-arm spin sets up a telling face-off with DC skipper Axar Patel. GT's middle order of Glenn Phillips, Washington Sundar, Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia will need to step up with a big performance if the top three fall early. GT's bowling has its own concerns. They conceded 69 runs in the powerplay against Rajasthan Royals, and they cannot afford a repeat against a DC top-order, despite their frailties, has the firepower to punish wayward bowling. Mohammed Siraj has managed just one wicket this season and needs to rediscover his sharpness alongside Kagiso Rabada. Prasidh Krishna, IPL 2025's leading wicket-taker, has carried his form forward with four wickets already. Young pacer Ashok Sharma has been expensive but brings genuine variety, having clocked the fastest delivery in IPL 2026 so far. The decision to not use Washington Sundar's off-spin against RR puzzled observers. Washington, capable of bowling with the new ball, has bowled just 19 overs since IPL 2024 - picking four wickets at 11.1 per over - and his underuse remains an unexplained puzzle. Left-arm spinner R Sai Kishore is an option, though a poor Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy campaign doesn't strengthen his case. Chasing teams have won six of seven T20s at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in 2026, making the toss potentially significant, with a yellow alert for rain adding another variable. For DC, the objective is clear - get the top order firing, and complete a hat-trick of wins by outclassing GT, whose margins for making errors are running thin.

Jamieson Eyes New-ball Role In First Year With DC, Hails IPL As best Place To Grow

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: New Zealand fast bowler Kyle Jamieson is yet to get a chance to play for Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2026. But the tall pacer stated that when the call to play comes for him, he anticipates taking new ball bowling duties, though he admitted to his role yet to be formally defined by the team think tank. After featuring for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the 2021 IPL, Jamieson returned to playing the tournament as an injury replacement for Lockie Ferguson at Punjab Kings. At the back end of the competition, Jamieson picked up five wickets in four matches at an economy rate of 9.8, including picking a three-fer in the final against RCB. Not really just because I haven't been in the team for those first couple of games, so you don't really have too much of an idea around where you're going to slot in. I think that probably comes once you're sort of - if you're fit into an 11 or 12 - you sort of work out, I guess, the mix of your players and bowlers at that point of time. So nothing really around role clarity. I mean, I'd expect that it'd be the new ball stuff, but equally being flexible as probably every bowler is nowadays. You've got to be flexible across the whole innings. So, nothing sort of set in stone as of yet, but if I do get a chance to play, then I'm sure that'll come, said Jamieson, while replying to a question from IANS in a virtual roundtable chat ahead of the side taking on Gujarat Titans on Wednesday. DC have won two out of two games so far, and Jamieson has found Axar Patel to be an impressive skipper who has managed the bowlers well and kept things calm, apart from not minding to have a laugh. All of this has kept the team atmosphere light and joyful, with the playing group finding themselves in a good space, especially with in-form young batter Sameer Rizvi being impressive in taking the side home twice in tricky run chases. When asked about DC pacer Mukesh Kumar's post-match remark after the six-wicket win over Mumbai Indians on him drawing inspiration from Josh Hazlewood consistently hitting Test match-like lengths - Jamieson endorsed that thinking wholeheartedly. I think what Mukesh alluded to, like that simplicity piece is what we're all striving for, right? Like, you've all got your strengths and stuff and you're trying to stick to that. I think that's something that, obviously, Hazlewood's done well for a long period of time now, and Mukesh did it brilliantly in the last game, is how can you have that strength and that resolve to just hold firm? I think, when guys are hitting you for boundaries, it's very easy to get sort of under pressure and trying to change and think you have to do something different. It's almost a bit of a strength of character thing to be like, Nah, I'm just going to hold there. I know that's my strength. I know that gives me the best chance of getting guys out and then trying to hold through the powerplay. It's not going to work every game. I think when the wickets are really good, guys can get away. But I think it's a real key sort of thing to try and hold it firmly on, he elaborated. For Jamieson, whos coming after playing all five T20Is for New Zealand against South Africa, the broader motivation for being part of IPL goes well beyond the immediate question of selection or role. Instead, he views the tournament as an unmatched arena for self-improvement - one where the pressure is relentless and the rewards, in terms of growth, are equally huge. In terms of the IPL now, for me, I think it's like the premier tournament in the world, right? So you always want to be a part of that. You learn so much. I think even having played a fair bit of cricket now, you're constantly trying to learn and grow. For Jamieson, whos coming after playing all five T20Is for New Zealand against South Africa, the broader motivation for being part of IPL goes well beyond the immediate question of selection or role. Instead, he views the tournament as an unmatched arena for self-improvement - one where the pressure is relentless and the rewards, in terms of growth, are equally huge.
