People Are Finally Seeing The Depth Of Talent Pool In South Africa: Du Plessis On SA20s Influence
ICC World Test Championship: Former South African skipper Faf du Plessis has credited the SA20 league for providing young players a platform to showcase their talent internationally and gain recognition. Up to 21 South African players are featuring in the ongoing IPL 2026 season, with 17 of them either retained or bought in the player auction across the 10 teams, and du Plessis highlighted South Africas recent successes in ICC tournaments, including their triumph in the World Test Championship at Lords last year. When it comes to opportunity, you have to credit the SA20. People are finally seeing the depth of the talent pool in South Africa. In the past, you only saw our marquee national players in the IPL - maybe six or seven guys, plus one or two youngsters who came out of nowhere. It was never a high number, du Plessis told SA20 on his return after a successful broadcasting stint in the IPL. With the SA20 being broadcast to the whole world over the last four years, everyone can see there is so much more talent beyond the starting XI. Yes, the national side consists of incredible players, but much like in India and the IPL, theres a massive group underneath them waiting for an opportunity who are just as dangerous in the T20 format. India can pick a second or third-string team because of their depth, and you can now say the same about South Africa. For a long time, I felt the national team was just a couple of injuries away from being knocked out of contention at an ICC event, he added. The 41-year-old elaborated by giving the example of the Australian side, explaining how leagues were previously dominated by Australian players and how the global spotlight is slowly shifting towards the Proteas after reaching a couple of white-ball finals and winning the ICC World Test Championship mace. For years and years in the IPL, you saw a majority of Australians playing. That was largely because there were - and still are - a lot of Australian coaches, so they naturally gravitated towards their own players. For a long time, Australian cricket was seen as the pinnacle globally, so teams looked up to them. However, South Africa making a couple of white-ball finals over the last few World Cups and winning the World Test Championship has put us back in the global spotlight as a proper cricketing nation. Young talents like Connor Esterhuizen and Dian Forrester are already reaping the benefits. Esterhuizen impressed with Pretoria Capitals and earned a spot with Gujarat Titans as a replacement player, while Forresters standout performances for Joburg Super Kings in the SA20 landed him a Pakistan Super League contract with Rawalpindi, where he maintained a strike rate of 171.42 and an average of 44. Du Plessis, who plans to play for JSK in the upcoming SA20, shared his reflections on his IPL commentary stint, emphasising the unique learning experience it offered. When stepping into a new venture surrounded by commentators who have been doing it for years, you try to find your own label. One of those areas is my recency of playing with the current players. Young talents like Connor Esterhuizen and Dian Forrester are already reaping the benefits. Esterhuizen impressed with Pretoria Capitals and earned a spot with Gujarat Titans as a replacement player, while Forresters standout performances for Joburg Super Kings in the SA20 landed him a Pakistan Super League contract with Rawalpindi, where he maintained a strike rate of 171.42 and an average of 44. Also Read: Live Cricket Score He added, For me, leaning on that experience was a great way to find my own voice in the commentary space, and I really enjoyed it. One major learning curve is realising that speaking normally doesn't always work in commentary. You have to convey emotion through your voice so the listener can feel the stadium's atmosphere, even if they can't see the game. Going through the gears in terms of excitement and living within the game is where I realised I need to do the most work. In commentary, the audience can't see you, so your tone and pacing are the only ways to transmit that energy. Article Source: IANS

Saw AI-171 pilot's body in seated position still gripping controls, claims crash victim's relative
Ahmedabad, May 20: A man who lost three family members in the AI-171 crash in June last year has claimed that he saw the body of the flight's captain inside the mortuary in Ahmedabad in a seated position with his hands still gripping the plane's controls. The claims of Romin Vohra, a resident of Kheda district in Gujarat, have surfaced amid continuing discussions over the circumstances leading to the crash and the actions taken in the cockpit during the final moments of the flight. Latching on to his claims, an official of a US-based law firm, claiming to be representing families of more than 100 victims, said the crash must be examined by ruly independent experts before blaming a single person for the tragedy. The families deserve the truth, not a quick conclusion that protects powerful companies or institutions, the official said. The London-bound Air India flight AI-171 crashed into a hostel complex in Ahmedabad's Meghaninagar area moments after taking off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport on June 12, killing 241 persons on board and 19 on the ground. One passenger survived. It was operated by pilot-in-command Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and co-pilot Captain Clive Kunder. The bodies of victims, many charred beyond recognition, were shifted to the mortuary at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital in the Asarwa area for identification and DNA matching. Romin Vohra, who lost his brother, niece and aunt in the tragedy, claimed he entered the mortuary on June 13 to search for the remains of his family members and there saw the body of Captain Sabharwal. Speaking to PTI over the phone on Tuesday, Vohra, a lab technician by profession, said he was allowed inside because he works in the medical field. My brother, my brother's daughter and my aunt died in the crash. I had gone to identify them a day after the crash. Since I am from the medical field and have some contacts, I got permission to go inside the mortuary, he said. Vohra said Captain Sabharwal's body was kept separately from others on one side of a table. At that time, the body was stiff and in a sitting position, as if he was still on his seat, he claimed. His hands were holding the steering (control yoke or column). His legs were bent the way a seated person's legs remain bent, while his arms were stretched forward, Vohra added. Asked if the controls were still in the pilot's hands, he replied, Yes, the steering was in his hands. Vohra further claimed that the captain was still wearing his uniform, which helped him identify the body. The captain's uniform was there. There was only one captain's body there, which was that of Sumeet Sabharwal sir. I recognised him from the uniform, he said. According to Vohra, the body had comparatively fewer burn injuries on the front side. He was burnt more on the backside. The front side and face were not burnt that much. I do not remember every detail exactly, but one could clearly tell it was the captain's body, he said. Vohra said he could later confirm the identity after seeing publicly available photographs of the pilot. Being from the medical field, we can identify bodies from height, weight and physical structure. Later, when I saw photographs of Captain Sabharwal, I became sure that the body I saw was indeed his, he said. He also described the emotional trauma faced by relatives waiting outside the hospital after the crash. At that time, our own tragedy was so huge that we were not in a condition to speak to anyone. For 10 days, I stayed put outside the hospital on the footpath in terrible condition while waiting for the bodies, he said, adding that his family was handed over the bodies after a successful DNA match. Meanwhile, US-based legal firm Chionuma Law, which claimed to represent families of 115 victims of the crash, called for an independent investigation and cautioned against drawing premature conclusions. The reported account that Captain Sumeet Sabharwal was found in a seated position, still gripping the yoke, raises serious questions that cannot be ignored, Ayush Rajpal, case manager at the firm, said in a statement. A pilot who is holding the controls until the final moment should not be judged by speculation, especially when he is no longer alive to defend himself, he said. Every technical, mechanical, electrical and human factor connected to the crash must be examined by ruly independent experts before blaming a single person for the tragedy, Rajpal said. The families deserve the truth, not a quick conclusion that protects powerful companies or institutions, the statement added. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), in a preliminary report issued in July last year, said the plane's engine fuel control switches were cut off seconds after lift-off, with one of the pilots in the cockpit voice recording heard asking the other why did he cut off, and the latter responding he did not do so. As per the report, the engine N1 and N2 began to decrease from their take-off values as the fuel supply to the engines was cut off. The Supreme Court in November last year said no one blamed the plane's chief pilot for the crash, and asked Sabharwal's 91-year-old father not to carry any emotional burden.

Good Opportunity To Try Gurnoor And Prince Against Afghanistan With ODI WC In Mind, Says Agarkar
ODI World Cup: Chief selector Ajit Agarkar on Tuesday said the inclusion of Gurnoor Brar and Prince Yadav in Indias ODI squad for the three-match series against Afghanistan was a conscious move to test promising youngsters, keeping in mind the 2027 Mens ODI World Cup, to be played in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. Prince bagged 18 wickets in eight matches for Delhi in the 2025/26 Vijay Hazare Trophy at an average of 19.27. He ended up as the sides leading wicket-taker and the fifth-highest wicket-taker overall in the 50-over competition. Gurnoor, who also earned a call-up to the Test team for the one-off match in New Chandigarh and has been a regular in the India A team, picked up 11 wickets in eight matches in the same tournament. Though Gurnoor hasnt played an IPL 2026 game yet for the Gujarat Titans, Prince has continued his impressive show by picking 16 scalps for Lucknow Super Giants. With no Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, and Harshit Rana due to workload management and injuries, Gurnoor and Prince have got their chances to be in the 50-over India set-up. I mean, this was a good opportunity. There have been a couple of injuries around, and we have not picked Bumrah for this team. There are a couple of guys who are injured and who were part of the one-day squad before. With Gurnoor, we have seen a lot of promise over the last season and a half, now a tall guy with a bit of pace. Again, keeping the South African (ODI) World Cup in mind, we are obviously going to try a few guys who at that point might be useful if they keep developing. Prince Yadav has shown a lot of promise through the domestic season. I think he had a really good Vijay Hazare Trophy. Obviously, he has bowled well in the IPL. But we have seen that he has grown a lot as a bowler over the last year or so. Again, has the necessary skills to succeed with the white ball. So, it's a great opportunity with these three one-day games coming up because with the way the rules are structured and so much is in favour of the batsmen, you are obviously looking at guys with regard to conditions in South Africa who have a chance of succeeding. There might be a few more we try over the course of the next few series, and these two are the ones that we have zeroed in on at this point, Agarkar said, while replying to a question from IANS, in a virtual press conference on Tuesday. Left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Harsh Dubey has been given a callup to both ODI and Test teams, after being a regular in the India A team and playing a huge hand in Vidarbha winning the 2024/25 Ranji Trophy and captaining the side to winning the 2025/26 Vijay Hazare Trophy. On his call-up, Agarkar added, I mean, that's the role we are looking at anyway. With the Test team, you can see that there is a lot of transition happening at this point. So, we are looking at options. Obviously, there have been a couple of players who have moved away from Test cricket. In one-day cricket, its the same thing - you want guys who can contribute with the bat down the order. But also have the necessary skill to be a frontline spinner or a frontline seam bowler. We think he certainly fits the bill, and we are hopeful that when he gets that opportunity, he will show what he can do. He has shown it aplenty in domestic cricket, and we have seen enough over the last couple of years, maybe a little bit more, that he seems to have the necessary skill to succeed at this level. Agarkar also clarified that teenage left-handed opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will continue to gain exposure with the India A side, with him set to play in the 50-over tri-series in Sri Lanka, to be played from June 9-21. He has shown it aplenty in domestic cricket, and we have seen enough over the last couple of years, maybe a little bit more, that he seems to have the necessary skill to succeed at this level. Also Read: Live Cricket Score He has just got a hundred last time he played for India against South Africa. So, as impressive as Sooryavanshi has been, there are other guys who have done as well for India. So, look, we are very excited with what he has been doing in the IPL, and hopefully, he shows a bit of that when he travels with the A team. Article Source: IANS
IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch KKR Vs MI, Know All Details
Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders head into Wednesdays IPL 2026 clash against Mumbai Indians at Eden Gardens with their playoff hopes hanging by a thread. KKR have revived their campaign impressively after a poor first half of the season, winning five of their last six matches to stay in contention for the final playoff spot. However, with only 11 points so far, the equation remains simple: defeat Mumbai and keep their qualification chances alive. Even consecutive wins may not be enough for Kolkata, who also require favourable results involving Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals. The race for the last playoff berth remains intense despite Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad already confirming qualification. KKR will draw confidence from their strong recent performances at Eden Gardens, especially after posting 247/2 against Gujarat Titans in their last home game. The batting lineup has clicked at the right time, though injury concerns around Matheesha Pathirana and Varun Chakaravarthy remain a concern. Mumbai, meanwhile, are already out of the playoff race and are likely to continue testing combinations. Captain Hardik Pandya remains doubtful, while injuries to Quinton de Kock and Raj Bawa have weakened the squad. However, Suryakumar Yadav has rejoined the team and could lead the side. Historically, MI have dominated the rivalry, winning 25 of 36 meetings, including their earlier clash this season.

IPL 2026: Mark Boucher Pays Emotional Tribute To MS Dhoni After SRH Beat CSK
Former South Africa: Former South Africa wicketkeeper Mark Boucher delivered an emotional tribute to MS Dhoni following Sunrisers Hyderabads playoff-clinching win over Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk, calling the legendary captain a global icon who changed the sport forever. Boucher reflected on Dhonis unmatched connection with fans and his lasting impact on world cricket.Ive been at Chepauk a few times, and Ive never seen fans go as crazy for anyone as they do for MS Dhoni, Boucher said on Star Sports. Its something I speak about even in South Africa. Whenever people say they want to experience the IPL, I always tell them they have to go to Chepauk to watch Dhoni, because thats when you truly understand how massive he is in this country. He has been an absolute legend of the game, not just in India but across the world. What he has done for cricket is astronomical. Boucher also hoped Dhoni would continue contributing to the game even after retirement. Whenever he eventually decides to move on, it will be a huge loss for the game.

IPL 2026: KKR face must-win test; MI out to spoil party
Kolkata Knight Riders must win their crucial IPL match against Mumbai Indians on Wednesday. A defeat will end their playoff chances for the second consecutive season. Even a win might not be enough as their fate depends on other results. Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Gujarat Titans, and Sunrisers Hyderabad have already secured playoff berths.
Chennai Super Kings: Sunrisers Hyderabad assistant coach James Franklin described Ishan Kishan's mature 70 against Chennai Super Kings as probably his best innings of IPL 2026 after Sunrisers Hyderabad sealed a playoff spot following a five-wicket win in Chepauk. Chasing 181 on a slow surface in the M.A. Chidambaram stadium, SRH recovered from the early loss of Travis Head but were rescued by an excellent 75-run stand between Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen which came off only 41 deliveries. Kishan anchored the chase brilliantly with 70 off 47 balls, while Klaasen made 47 off 26, and SRH knocked off the runs with 19 balls to spare to become the second team, joining Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bangalore, to seal qualification for the IPL 2026 playoffs. I thought in the T20 format for us this year, that was probably his best innings, Franklin said after the game. Just for the situation and the match and the surface as well we've become quite accustomed in the IPL to playing on some incredibly flat surfaces that are quite conducive to hitting fours and sixes but on this occasion, a little bit more graft required by a batter. And I thought Ishan's innings just had so much maturity about it, just the way that he assessed what was required and what was necessary, and then managed to bat as deep as he possibly could through to 20 overs. Once again the partnership with Klassy was great. He's been immense for us all through this IPL and it's one of the greatest middle-order performances you'll see through an IPL season at the moment in terms of how he's reading situations, how he's moving the scoreboard forward in terms of tempo, and the pressure that it puts on the opposition, he added. Franklin then pointed out SRH's destructive top order comprising Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. Travishek-Abhi, Trav-they're destructive and brutal at the top and so the four of them at the moment it's a pleasure for us to have them in our team, Franklin said. Franklin then pointed out SRH's destructive top order comprising Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma.

IPL 2026: Aaron Finch Backs Ruturaj Gaikwad Despite Difficult CSK Season
Chennai Super Kings: Former Australia captain Aaron Finch has thrown his support behind Ruturaj Gaikwad, insisting the Chennai Super Kings skipper should not be judged solely on one challenging IPL campaign. Finch's comments came after CSK suffered a five-wicket defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad at Chepauk, a result that confirmed SRH's qualification for the IPL 2026 playoffs. It's important not to judge a player or a captain based on just one season because T20 cricket can be extremely demanding and unpredictable, Finch said on JioHotstar. From a captaincy perspective, Ruturaj Gaikwad has still led the side well, especially with his decisions and composure on the field. At times, form and leadership pressure can overlap, but for him it now comes down to rediscovering his batting rhythm and getting back to scoring consistently. The quality is still there, and sometimes in T20 cricket, phases like these can change very quickly. Gaikwad endured another difficult outing with the bat, scoring 15 as CSK posted 180/7 after being asked to bat first. Sanju Samson provided an explosive start with 27 off 13 balls, while Dewald Brevis top-scored with 44. SRH captain Pat Cummins led superbly with the ball, finishing with 3/28 and reaching the milestone of 200 T20 wickets. Sakib dismissed the dangerous Urvil Patel, while both young bowlers took two wickets each to help limit Chennai to 180/7. Gaikwad endured another difficult outing with the bat, scoring 15 as CSK posted 180/7 after being asked to bat first.

IPL 2026: Added Responsibility Of Captaincy Seems To Have Affected Gaikwads Batting, Says Ashwin
Chennai Super Kings: Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin believes that Ruturaj Gaikwad's batting has been affected by his new role as captain. This comes as the Chennai Super Kings work through a transition phase after MS Dhoni's departure. Speaking on JioHotstar after CSK's five-wicket loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad at Chepauk, Ashwin discussed the challenges the team is facing now that SRH secured a playoff spot with their win. Chennai Super Kings are clearly in a transition phase in the post-Dhoni era. Its important for everyone involvedfans, stakeholders, and the teamto recognize that rebuilding takes time, Ashwin said. The standards and expectations associated with CSK are incredibly high because of their legacy, but this group needs space and patience as they evolve. At the same time, the added responsibility of captaincy seems to have affected Ruturaj Gaikwads batting. T20 cricket is already demanding, and carrying the burden of leadership alongside expectations from a franchise like CSK can have a significant impact on a player. SRH secured a spot in the IPL 2026 playoffs with a steady chase of 181 runs, boosted by Ishan Kishans 70 off 47 balls and Heinrich Klaasens aggressive 47 at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium. After early contributions from Abhishek Sharma and Klaasen, Kishan led the chase effectively. SRH reached their target with an over to spare, earning 16 points from 13 matches and joining Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the playoffs.

IPL 2026: Five Teams Remain In Hunt For Lone Remaining Playoff Spot
Indian Premier League: As we draw closer to the end of the league stage in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, the race for the playoffs has gotten quite interesting. With RCB, GT, and SRH having already booked their places in the top 4, there is now just one remaining spot for which five teams are battling it out. RCB was the first team to officially book their spot after a convincing win against Punjab Kings in Dharamsala on Sunday. SRH booked their spot the next day after a victory over Chennai Super Kings in Chepauk which also confirmed Gujarat Titans' playoff berth. Two teams, Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants, are officially out of the running. RCB remain the favorites for a top two finish. They will finish in the top two regardless of their result against SRH if CSK beat GT on the 21st or if RCB defeat SRH in Hyderabad on the 22nd . If they do win their final game, they will finish first with 20 points, and even a loss shouldn't put them outside of the top two with a healthy net run rate of 1.065 as GT would need to defeat CSK by an extremely large margin to surpass them. It is up to Gujarat Titans to win their final game and hoping SRH lose to RCB to get into the top two. If they do win but lose their game, then a top two place will be decided by the net run rate among them and SRH, with all potentially on 18 points. SRH were already qualified after a brilliant win over CSK and look set to push GT for the top two if they beat RCB. They will automatically finish second in the table if they beat RCB and GT lose their game, but it would go down to net run rate if GT win. However, PBKS still remain very much alive for the fourth playoff spot despite their loss against RCB. PBKS can still finish with a maximum of 15 points and require both a win against LSG and a loss for Rajasthan Royals at least once, while Kolkata Knight Riders also need to falter and finish below PBKS on net run rate. Even a win with 13 points is plausible if other results go PBKS' way (e.g. RR losing at least one of their two matches and CSK losing both their games). RR look favorites among the chasing teams as their fate is in their own hands. They play excluded sides LSG and MI in their last two matches and should secure their qualification spot if they win both to finish on 16 points. However, even 14 points could be sufficient if CSK, PBKS and Delhi Capitals falter while MI beat KKR. The loss to SRH was a bad one for CSK as they now stand at 12 points with one game to play against GT and will finish on 14 if they beat GT. The top two finish between them and DC is likely going to go down to net run rate as CSK currently holds the advantage. DC's chance of qualification seems minimal because of their poor net run rate of -0.871 and require a win over KKR to get 14 points and an LSG win over PBKS while praying RR and CSK both lose their remaining two and one match respectively and GT beat CSK. CSK as they now stand at 12 points with one game to play against GT and will finish on 14 if they beat GT. The top two finish between them and DC is likely going to go down to net run rate as CSK currently holds the advantage.

IPL 2026: Ishan Deserves All The Credit, Says Pat Cummins After SRHs Playoff-clinching Win Over CSK
Chennai Super Kings: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Pat Cummins credited Ishan Kishan for playing a mature and match-winning innings after SRH defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by five wickets to qualify for the IPL 2026 playoffs at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Monday. Chasing 181 runs, Sunrisers Hyderabad completed the chase in 19 overs with Kishan anchoring the innings brilliantly with 70 runs off 47 balls. Heinrich Klaasen also played a crucial knock of 47 as SRH secured an important win and booked their place in the playoffs alongside the Gujarat Titans. Speaking after the match, Cummins said the conditions at Chepauk were challenging and praised his batters for adjusting well to the surface. Really satisfying. It's a bit different from how we normally play. Very happy. That partnership, it was really tough, we thought you need one or two really good partnerships, Cummins said after the victory. SRH are generally known for their aggressive batting approach, but Cummins admitted the team had to show patience on a pitch where the ball was not coming onto the bat easily. We are not famous for responsible batting. But yeah, when we were bowling, the ball was keeping low and not quite coming on. It was about par. They play here and know the wicket a lot better, he added. After losing Travis Head early in the chase, Kishan and Abhishek Sharma rebuilt the innings before the left-hander stitched another important stand with Klaasen. Kishan rotated the strike smartly and attacked whenever needed to keep SRH in control throughout the chase. Cummins especially praised Kishan for stepping up and guiding the innings under pressure. Winning today was what mattered. You cant give yourselves a better chance than what we have. Ishan deserves all the credit for leading the side for the first half, Cummins said.

IPL 2026: Everyone Gave Their Hearts Out, Says Gaikwad, Proud Despite CSK's Defeat To SRH
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad praised his teams fighting effort despite suffering a five-wicket defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 63 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Monday. The loss daunted five-time champion CSKs playoff hopes, while Sunrisers Hyderabad booked their place in the IPL 2026 playoffs after successfully chasing down 181 with six balls to spare. Speaking after the match, Gaikwad said CSK remained in the contest for most of the chase and credited his players for showing character despite missing several key players during the season. Good game of cricket. We were in the game until the second-last over. Good T20 pitch. Didnt change over the course of the game. Just missed out on a few. Just cashing in on the opportunity could have been done, Gaikwad said after the match. Batting first, Chennai Super Kings posted 180/7 in 20 overs with Dewald Brevis top-scoring with 44 runs. Sanju Samson provided a strong start with a quick 27, while Kartik Sharma and Shivam Dube also made useful contributions.

However, Chennai Super Kings struck back in the third over when Mukesh dismissed Travis Head with a slower delivery. Head managed just six runs from six balls. After the early wicket, CSK bowlers maintained tight lines and did not allow SRH batters to score freely. Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan took time to settle but kept the scoreboard moving with regular boundaries. SRH reached 45/1 at the end of the Power-play. CSK finally broke the partnership in the eighth over when Akeal Hosein dismissed Abhishek Sharma for 26 runs off 21 balls. His innings included three fours and a six.

Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins gave his team the first breakthrough by dismissing Samson for a quick 27 off 13 balls. Young batter Urvil Patel kept the momentum going with two sixes off Cummins, but Sakib Husain clean bowled him for 13 runs.
