IPL 2026: Varun Aaron Praises SRH Youngsters Sakib And Praful After Playoff-clinching Win

Chennai Super Kings: Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling coach Varun Aaron praised young bowlers Praful Hinge and Sakib Husain after teams secured their spot in the IPL 2026 playoffs with a five-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk. In a discussion on JioHotstar SRH bowling coach Aaron attributed the duos growth this season to their eagerness and hard work. A lot of credit goes to Praful Hinge and Sakib Husain because both of them are very eager to learn and aim to play for India, Aaron said. When young players have that kind of ambition, dedication and hard work follow naturally. Both of them put in a lot of effort, not just during the tournament but also in the lead-up to the IPL. Our preparations with them started almost two months before the season. We organized specialized camps and worked closely on different aspects of their bowling. The most impressive thing was how open they were to learning, and now they are starting to see the results of all that hard work. The pair justified that trust with key performances during CSKs innings. Sakib dismissed the dangerous Urvil Patel, while both young bowlers took two wickets each to help limit Chennai to 180/7. Ishan Kishan then led SRHs chase with a steady 70 off 47 balls, while Klaasens 47 shifted the momentum significantly in the middle overs. Aaron also noted Klaasens growing role in the team. One area where we struggled last season was finishing games when the top order didnt fully deliver. This year, Heinrich Klaasen has taken on that responsibility very well, Aaron said. What makes him special is how easily he can change his approach, going from rotating the strike at a run-a-ball to suddenly scoring eight or nine runs an over. That transition is tough, but Klaasen makes it seem effortless. Aaron also noted Klaasens growing role in the team.

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, SRH chased down the target comfortably through Ishan Kishans match-winning 70 and Heinrich Klaasens aggressive 47-run knock. Despite the defeat, Gaikwad said he was proud of the effort shown by the squad, especially considering the challenges faced by the team this season. Still, given the team we had and the limited squad, Im still proud and feel we did well. A lot of positives, to be honest, he added.

IPL 2026: CSK Vs SRH Could Be A Virtual Knockout Game, Says Aakash Chopra

Chennai Super Kings: With IPL 2026 entering its decisive phase to decide the remaining three playoffs spots, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has described the Chennai Super KingsSunrisers Hyderabad contest as a virtual knockout game that could go a long way in determining playoff qualification. With defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru confirming their spot in the last four stage, if SRH manages to win Mondays clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, they will be assured of a playoffs berth. Such an outcome will simultaneously confirm Gujarat Titans place in the playoffs, thus leaving only one spot open. Its CSKs final home game of the season and, given how congested the table is, it will be a mustwin for both, especially the home team. They have had to manage a lot of injuries, but still, players like Anshul Kamboj, Urvil Patel and the two spinners have stood up for them and they will be key again if they have to stop SRHs bighitters. SRH would be ruing their last defeat and, given they still have a chance to finish on 18 points, they wouldnt want to leave it until the last game. In my opinion, this could be a virtual knockout game for both. Whoever wins this one will come significantly closer to qualifying. With the stakes this high and Chepauk expected to be buzzing, fans should be in for a treat, said Chopra on JioStar. Former India left-arm pacer Irfan Pathan, meanwhile, pointed to the highstakes nature of SRHs final fixture against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 22, a day after GT take on CSK in a high profile clash in Ahmedabad, as a must-watch due to the face-off between Travis Head-Abhishek Sharma opening pair and new-ball duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood.

IPL 2026: Starc's Over Changed The Result, RR Were At Least 20 Runs Short, Admits Rathour

New Delhi: Rajasthan Royals lead assistant coach Vikram Rathour admitted that Mitchell Starc's devastating 15th over proved to be the turning point of their five-wicket defeat to Delhi Capitals, admitting that the visitors were at least 20 runs short of a competitive total and that poor decisions from the batters cost them the match. Rathour's candid assessment came after RR, well-placed at 160/2 at the start of the 15th over, lost four wickets in a heap to Starc, including three in an over and eventually posted only 193/8, with DC chasing it down with four balls to spare. I completely agree. We were at least 20 runs short, if not more. I thought we were 160 in 14 overs and lost two wickets. From there, we should have got 220. Again losing three wickets in one over doesn't help. So we could have been a bit smarter with our decisions we took in that over. So those are the learnings and in every game, you will make mistakes and the idea is to learn from those mistakes and I hope the next time we are in a similar situation, we get a better result. Again, that over definitely changed the result for us. Obviously he's a world class bowler. He's a world class bowler, but the kind of options we took in that over, were poor. We could have done differently and given ourselves a little more time to get through that over and take the game a little deeper, said Rathour in the post-match press conference. RR had come back to tournament action after another longish break and the result is a big setback to their hopes of entering the playoffs, as they find themselves deeper in the all-familiar second half wobble. Apart from RR batting order imploding in the last six overs and their misfields leaving head coach and director of cricket Kumar Sangakkara angry in the dugout, some of the decision making from RR was perplexing. The decision to draft in batting allrounder Dasun Shanaka as Impact Player raised eyebrows, as it meant they couldnt bring in a frontline bowler - Ravi Bishnoi or Sushant Mishra named in substitutes in the second innings. The absence of veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja further magnified the risk, considering their refurbished bowling line-up came on the back of being expensive in the last few games. After Shanaka made only ten with the bat, RR pressed him into service as the fifth bowler despite not bowling in his previous two outings. To his credit, Shanaka delivered three tidy overs and even took out DCs topscorer KL Rahul. But his limited use left RR short of flexibility in death overs bowling options. With three overs remaining, and Axar Patel and David Miller at the crease, RR turned to parttime offspinner Donovan Ferreira in the 18th over. The gamble backfired as both batters hit a maximum each in a 16run over and swung the momentum firmly in DCs favour. With those calls attracting considerable scrutiny, Rathour explained the chain of events that led to those decisions being taken in the game. The decisions that are made internally, are definitely taken by the captain. He is backing his gut and feeling at that stage. Our initial idea was to take 6 bowlers. But because we lost those wickets too quickly, we had to pick Dasun as an impact player. Otherwise, if the wickets hadn't fallen that much, we had an option to pick some bowler, especially a specialist bowler, maybe in the second innings. But unfortunately, we lost too many wickets in a cluster. So we had to take that option of picking Dasun. Again, the decisions that are made internally, are obviously taken by the captain. Obviously, there are some plans already, which are discussed outside with the analyst and the coach. But inside, at that point of the time, it's captains who take the call, he said. Rathour also acknowledged that captain Riyan Parag's hamstring niggle may have been a factor in him not opting to bowl. Parag had missed the clash against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur due to the same injury and needed treatment for it while making 51. Yes, of course (he could have bowled). But he is struggling again. Riyan is also having a niggle with his hamstring. So I am not sure how comfortable he was bowling. But it was an option, a chance he took, which didn't go our way, he said. On Jadejas absence, where Parag said load management resulted in him not playing Sundays game, Rathour said the team was being cautious with the all-rounder due to a knee niggle. He just had some niggle in his knee, I think. They are just trying to manage that. They felt that if we give him one more game break, it will be good for him. That was the reason he was rested. He is just dealing with some niggle. Before it all unravelled for RR, they were in control for the first 14 overs and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi treated fans to well-timed and powerful boundaries in his 21-ball 46, before falling to a slower delivery from Madhav Tiwari. With him struggling against slower deliveries and being dismissed off it before, Rathour denied on it being a chink in the teenaged openers armour. See, nobody is perfect in this world. Everybody will have some weakness here and there. I don't think slow ball is a weakness with Vaibhav. I will want bowlers to try that. On a wicket like this, where the ball is gripping a bit, change of pace is good against anybody. It's not only Vaibhav - I think he's a special player and enough has been said about his ability and how good he is. So, again, he's provided us a really good start, looking at the surface again. So, I just hope he converts one inning and goes deeper. The way he's batting, the way he prepares, I'm sure that's not too far off. We'll see one of those innings which he'll really convert and play a big knock. But otherwise, we are pretty happy with the way he's batting and we want him to bat that way.Different players will bat differently. Anybody can succeed. You need to identify and know your strengths. If you back your strengths and play to your strengths, you can score runs. Dhruv need not bat like Vaibhav and Vaibhav shouldn't look to bat like Dhruv. They have their own strengths. They have their own ways of scoring runs. If they keep backing that and keep believing in their ability, they can succeed easily. You have seen that happening. Somebody like Virat, who is still extremely successful, even in this format. I wouldn't call him an out-and-out power-hitting player. That tells you that there is scope for everybody to succeed, provided you have belief in your abilities. If you can commit to whatever options you take while you are batting and back yourself, he elaborated. Despite the defeat leaving sixth-placed RR in a tight spot in the race to playoffs, Rathour insisted the side still has full belief in their ability to qualify for the last four stage, though a lot will also depend on them taking better calls tactically. Somebody like Virat, who is still extremely successful, even in this format. I wouldn't call him an out-and-out power-hitting player.

IPL 2026: Vijay Handed Debut As DC Elect To Bowl First Against RR, Ravi Gets Debut Cap

Indian Premier League: Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to bowl first against Rajasthan Royals in match 62 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Sunday. Both DC and RR need wins, starting from Sundays clash, to keep their slim hopes of entering the playoffs alive. After winning the toss in their final home game of IPL 2026, DC skipper Axar Patel said that bowling all-rounder Tripurana Vijay makes his debut and replaces Auqib Nabi. When you win, you feel good. The atmosphere has been good even during the losses. I'm not thinking about conditions as I've gotten it wrong. We will try to bat and bowl well, no matter how the wicket behaves. You have to keep things on the field there and not carry it off the field, he said. RR captain Riyan Parag, fit again to lead the side after missing their previous clash against the Gujarat Titans due to a hamstring injury, said wicketkeeper-batter Ravi Singh makes his debut at the expense of Ravindra Jadeja, whos out due to load management, while Adam Milne also finds a place. Happy to be back first. I was pretty unsure about the wicket as well. It looks like its dry, but then weve seen the past scores and results here; chasing has been better, though it also tends to slow down a bit later on. So I was a little confused, but happy to bowl first because of that. Weve had some ups and downs in the last few games. I think we havent defended totals very well. But today gives us another opportunity to do that and hopefully get it right. So weve gone with an extra seamer today, and hopefully we can defend the total better. Almost there (on figuring the best combination). Weve had a few injuries here and there. I had to step out as well, so that hasnt helped either, he said. Sundays match is being played on pitch number six, which is the centre wicket. The square boundaries are at 63 metres each, while the straight boundary is at 73 metres.
