IPL 2026: MS Dhoni keen But Another Calf Setback Delays Comeback, Informs Fleming
Indian Premier League: Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming has indicated that MS Dhonis return to the playing XI for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 has been further delayed after the veteran wicketkeeper-batter suffered another setback in his recovery from a calf injury. Dhoni, who was initially expected to miss only the opening two weeks of IPL 2026, has now been sidelined for nearly a month, with CSK already eight matches into their campaign without their talismanic former captain featuring even once. Providing an update after Chennais defeat to the Gujarat Titans on Sunday, Fleming revealed that the 42-year-old aggravated the injury during a practice outing, complicating what was initially thought to be a short-term issue. He's pretty keen. The calf is a tough one, though; if he takes off and rips the calf again, then he will be gone. So we pushed it early, in the warm-up game, he tweaked it again, it's my understanding, and since then he has been just working hard to get some movement into it, but there was a setback, so it has taken longer than we thought, Fleming said while addressing the media after CSKs loss to GT on Sunday. Despite his absence from match action, Dhoni has remained involved in training sessions. He has frequently been spotted working on his batting in the nets, largely focusing on throwdowns, although he has gradually increased his workload in recent days. On Saturday, he was seen sprinting under the supervision of the team physio before spending time facing spin bowlers as well as deliveries from batting coach Michael Hussey. The former CSK skipper was also seen donning the wicketkeeping gloves during the teams practice at the Wankhede Stadium ahead of their clash against the Mumbai Indians last week. Fleming emphasised that the final call on Dhonis comeback rests with the player himself, while the support staff continues to monitor his progress closely. He is the guide on this one, and he's working hard with the physio and doing all the rehab, and we're just waiting for the word, really. But all I can keep saying is stop making light of it, as he is progressing and doing everything he can, Fleming added. Fleming emphasised that the final call on Dhonis comeback rests with the player himself, while the support staff continues to monitor his progress closely.

IPL: Sudharsan's 87 powers GT to comfortable 8-wicket victory over CSK
Gujarat Titans secured an impressive 8-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings, thanks to a fluent half-century from Sai Sudharsan and crucial support from Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler. The Titans' clinical chase saw them comfortably surpass CSK's 158-run target with 20 balls to spare, climbing to fifth in the IPL standings.
IPL 2026: Sudharsan Is A Kind Of Player Who Can Give Maximum Reward With Minimum Risk, Says Gill
Chennai Super Kings: Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill heaped praise on opener Sai Sudharsan after his match-winning knock, highlighting the youngsters ability to maximise returns with minimal risk following their emphatic eight-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Sudharsans fluent 87 anchored a clinical chase of 159, continuing his impressive run this season and drawing special appreciation from his skipper. He's been batting brilliantly. Even in the innings that he got out in the middle, he was batting beautifully. So with him, it's always a matter of spending that much time on the wicket. And once he's set, he is that kind of player who can give the maximum reward with minimum risk, and that's his advantage, Gill said after the win. Gill also expressed overall satisfaction with the teams performance in challenging conditions, noting the significance of securing a convincing win at a venue known for testing visiting sides, as he said, Really happy. To get a win like that here is always difficult in this part of India, so I'm really happy with the win. While GT dominated for most of the contest, Gill admitted there were minor lapses, particularly in the field during the latter stages of the first innings, saying, Yeah, apart from the last four or five overs of fielding, I think it was a pretty good effort from us out there. The GT skipper further elaborated on the decision-making at the toss, revealing uncertainty over how the pitch would behave, before crediting his bowlers for maintaining control during the powerplay, a phase where the team has consistently excelled. Actually, I was a little bit confused whether to bowl first or bat first on this wicket. But I think we bowled pretty well in the Power-play, and Power-play has been one of the areas where consistently we have done well. And if I have to be really critical, finishing the innings has been a little bit of concern for us, and hopefully, in the upcoming matches, we improve on that, he said.

Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad admitted that his side struggled to adapt to challenging pitch conditions as they slumped to an eight-wicket defeat against the Gujarat Titans in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. Reflecting on the surface, which offered variable bounce and inconsistent pace, Gaikwad highlighted how difficult it was for batters to settle in despite initial plans. To be honest, sometimes I hate to assess in that way, but I felt it was challenging. I was holding a bit for the pacers; the pace was inconsistent, and the bounce was up and down. But if we hadn't lost too many wickets, we could've reached 170-180. Not expected to be honest, it's tough to assess the conditions here. In the last three matches, we learned how the game would play out. We had a 60-70% chance in the last two or three games, but we didn't expect it to play like this today. We just couldn't adapt to the conditions, Gaikwad said after the game. CSK, who eventually posted 158/7, had to recover from early setbacks after losing wickets in clusters. Gaikwad pointed out that the inability to adjust quickly to the surface proved costly, particularly during the Power-play and middle overs when partnerships were crucial. Elaborating on his communication with the team management during the innings, Gaikwad revealed that even a proactive approach could not overcome the pitch's unpredictability. In the first timeout, I told Flem that I was trying to be positive and aggressive. But at times, the ball popped out with an inconsistent bounce. I told him I was trying to adapt, but it wasn't possible. You couldn't judge, and you couldn't expect it to turn out well. We were lethargic and didn't start well, but we needed to do better, Gaikwad said. Despite the difficulties, the CSK skipper anchored the innings with a composed knock, finishing unbeaten and attempting to steer the side towards a competitive total. However, he acknowledged that wickets at regular intervals disrupted momentum and forced a change in approach. I got off to a good start (10 off 6), I thought I would keep the momentum, but then we saw 3 wickets fall while we were trying to build a partnership. Another wicket fell, and I wanted to take my time. For any other pitch, I might've rotated the strike better. Once I got hit, I just thought I would take my chances and get some momentum back, he said. Despite the difficulties, the CSK skipper anchored the innings with a composed knock, finishing unbeaten and attempting to steer the side towards a competitive total.

IPL 2026: Sai Sudharsans 87 Powers GT To 8-wicket Win Over CSK
Chennai Super Kings: A dominant top-order performance led by Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler helped Gujarat Titans chase down a 159-run target against hosts Chennai Super Kings with remarkable ease, sealing an eight-wicket win with 20 balls to spare at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. Chasing 159, Gujarat got off to a brisk start despite some early discipline from the Chennai bowlers. Gill looked in fluent touch from the outset, striking three sixes in his 33 off 23 balls, while Sudharsan complemented him well as the duo stitched together a quickfire opening stand. The Titans raced to 55/0 in the Power-play, but soon after, Gill was stumped off Noor Ahmad, courtesy sharp glovework from Sanju Samson. However, any hopes of a Chennai comeback were quickly extinguished as Sudharsan and Buttler took control. The left-hander continued his rich vein of form, bringing up a 33-ball fifty and targeting both spin and pace with authority. Buttler, after a watchful start, grew in confidence and found boundaries at crucial intervals, ensuring the required rate never became a concern. The pair added a decisive partnership, with Sudharsan particularly severe on Akeal Hosein, smashing multiple sixes to tilt the contest firmly in Gujarats favour. Some missed chances by the fielders only added to Chennais woes as the Titans batters capitalised fully. Sudharsan eventually fell for a superb 87 off 46 balls, laced with four boundaries and seven sixes, after a brilliant catch in the deep by Dewald Brevis. By then, however, the result was a mere formality. Buttler remained composed till the end and fittingly finished the chase in style, hammering a straight six to seal the win. Earlier, CSK had posted 159, recovering well after a disastrous start. The pitch offered variable bounce, making strokeplay difficult in the first half of the innings. Their top order struggled to get going against disciplined bowling, but a crucial middle-overs revival helped them reach a fighting total. Shivam Dube played a key role in that recovery, stitching an important partnership with Ruturaj Gaikwad. The duo focused on batting deep after early setbacks, rotating strike effectively before accelerating towards the end. Dubes approach against pace, in particular, helped Chennai regain momentum on a surface where timing the ball wasnt easy. Despite their late surge, Chennais total proved inadequate against a clinical Gujarat batting unit. The Titans top three once again showcased their consistency and firepower, chasing down the target with minimal fuss and reinforcing their reputation as one of the most formidable batting line-ups in the tournament. With this comprehensive victory, GT returned to winning ways after back-to-back losses, while CSK were left to reflect on missed opportunities.

IPL 2026: I Marvel At How Virat Kohli Rediscovers Himself Almost Every Year, Says Karthik
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik has hailed Virat Kohlis ability to reinvent himself after every IPL season, calling it a remarkable trait that continues to inspire him as well as his teammates and youngsters alike, as the talismanic batter nears the 9000-run milestone in the competition. Kohli returns to his original home venue the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi where defending champions RCB will take on Delhi Capitals on Monday evening. Kohli boasts of an average of 66.8 with seven fifties in 11 IPL innings in New Delhi and needs just 11 runs to become the first player to reach 9000 runs in IPL history. He currently has 8989 runs, which clearly puts him ahead of Rohit Sharma (7183), Shikhar Dhawan (6769), David Warner (6565), and KL Rahul (5579). Now with Virat Kohli, the fact is that that man goes back every year and he is assessing what he has done. He almost comes with a very stubborn plan about how he wants to go about it, and he gets it done not on match days alone, but the way he practices as well. He has a method to how he goes about it, and he's constantly checking himself in practice, and there are certain days he'll bat more, certain days he'll bat less, and he has so much experience. Credit to him that man constantly rediscovers with every passing year, and for him to keep up with the pace of this game and some of the newer players are batting at insane strike rates, and he is going shoulder to shoulder with them and producing match-winning performances. So I marvel at how he rediscovers himself every year almost and that is such a big learning for me as well and I'm sure and I wish a lot of the players who watch him play also learn that with every passing year, people are looking at you and they'll come with a plan and you need to counter it with your strengths and he's done that very nicely so far, said Karthik in the pre-match press conference on Sunday. In IPL 2026, Kohli has 328 runs from seven innings at an average of 54.7 and a strike rate of 163, with a highest score of 81. He has been in sublime touch in chases this season, scoring two of his three fifties, with an average of 99.5 and a strike rate of 172 in such situations. Against DC, Kohli has amassed 1149 runs in 31 innings at an average of 47.8, including 11 fifties. With four 50-plus scores in his last five innings at Kotla, he will be keen to extend his dominance at the venue. Karthik recalled how this years U19 World Cup winners, Vihaan Malhotra and Kanishk Chouhan, have been soaking in the experience of seeing Kohli go about his business in the practice sessions. It's quite amazing and a learning experience for any young boy watching. I'm sure the likes of Vihaan and Kanishk have looked at him and been like look at how Virat bhai is practising and what he is doing differently. They've asked me as well what I think Virat bhai is doing differently from last year. Against DC, Kohli has amassed 1149 runs in 31 innings at an average of 47.8, including 11 fifties. With four 50-plus scores in his last five innings at Kotla, he will be keen to extend his dominance at the venue.

Gujarat Times Shivam Dube: Middle-order batter Shivam Dube acknowledged that a sluggish start hurt Chennai Super Kings batting effort but felt the side recovered well to post a competitive total against Gujarat Titans in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. Reflecting on the innings after the first half, Dube pointed out the contrast between the slow start and the eventual finish. The first 10 overs, we did not have a good start, but after that, we came to 159, an amazing score. 159 is one of the best scores I feel over there. It's not easy with the fast bowler as well as with the spinner, he told the broadcasters. CSK had struggled early on, losing wickets in the powerplay and finding run-scoring difficult on a surface that offered assistance to both seamers and spinners. Dube elaborated on the pitch's nature, highlighting its uneven behaviour. The ball is not coming evenly. It's up and down, especially with the fast bowlers. Holder was bowling really well. Arshad bowled really well. It was coming fast and coming slow as well, he said, referring to Jason Holder and Arshad Khan, who kept the CSK batters in check during the middle overs. Amid the challenging conditions, Dube stitched a crucial partnership with skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad to stabilise the innings. He explained that their focus was on batting deep rather than taking undue risks early. At that time, we wanted both of us to bat at least till 15-16 overs. That was more important. So that was the plan at that time to bat deep and try to get those boundaries in the middle. That was more important. The left-hander also spoke about his evolving approach against pace bowling, an area he has been working on to expand his game. At that time, we wanted both of us to bat at least till 15-16 overs. That was more important. So that was the plan at that time to bat deep and try to get those boundaries in the middle. That was more important.

IPL 2026: Gaikwads Unbeaten 74, Overtons Late Fireworks Help CSK Post 158-7 Against GT
Impact Substitute Sarfaraz Khan: A late flourish from skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and Jamie Overton lifted Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to a competitive 158/7 in 20 overs against Gujarat Titans (GT) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. Asked to bat first, CSK endured a turbulent start as Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada exploited the pace and bounce on offer. Siraj set the tone with a probing opening over, while Rabada struck crucial early blows, including the prized wicket of Sanju Samson (11), who had briefly counterattacked. The top-order collapse continued as Impact Substitute Sarfaraz Khan fell for a first-ball duck, and debutant Urvil Patel departed soon after, leaving CSK reeling at 28/3 at the end of the Power-play, one of their lowest totals this season. With wickets tumbling, Gaikwad struggled to find fluency, enduring a prolonged boundary drought as Gujarats disciplined attack tightened the screws. Manav Suthar further dented CSKs innings by removing Dewald Brevis, reducing the hosts to 38/4. The scoring rate dipped drastically through the middle overs, with CSK crawling to 50 only in the 12th over, their slowest team fifty of the season. However, Gaikwad began to shift gears alongside Shivam Dube, who provided some impetus with a few timely boundaries and a six. The duo added valuable runs before Dube (22) was bowled by Arshad Khan, just when he looked set to accelerate. Gaikwad, meanwhile, brought up a patient half-century off 49 balls, the slowest fifty in IPL 2026, highlighting the challenging batting conditions. CSK found some late momentum as Gaikwad and the lower middle order attempted to lift the scoring rate. A brief but explosive cameo from Jamie Overton, who struck 18 off just six deliveries, injected much-needed impetus during the death overs. However, Rabada returned to lead the bowling effort with impressive figures of 3-25, while Arshad chipped in with two wickets to keep CSK in check. Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, Gaikwad held one end firm and remained unbeaten on 74 off 60 balls, anchoring the innings. He capped off the final over with a series of boundaries, ensuring CSK finished strongly after a sluggish start. The home team experienced a tale of two halves. Although CSK aimed for a higher total, their comeback from early setbacks, driven by Gaikwads resilience and strong late hitting, enabled them to set a competitive score on a pitch that favoured the bowlers. He capped off the final over with a series of boundaries, ensuring CSK finished strongly after a sluggish start.

Indian Premier League: Sanju Samson etched his name into the record books by becoming the fastest Indian, in terms of balls, to reach 5,000 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, achieving the milestone during Chennai Super Kings clash against Gujarat Titans at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday. The 31-year-old achieved this milestone impressively by hitting Kagiso Rabada for a boundary in the second over. However, Rabada had the last laugh, dismissing Samson for 11 off 15 balls later in the fourth over. Samson is now the 10th overall batter to surpass 5,000 runs in IPL history, reaching the mark in just 180 innings (185 matches). It took him 3555 balls to reach this milestone, making him the fastest Indian to do so by balls faced.

His IPL journey started in 2013, and he has become one of the leagues most reliable performers. Among the elite 5,000-run club, Samson joins notable players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, David Warner, K.L. Rahul, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, and Ajinkya Rahane.

Speaking ahead of Gujarat Titans clash against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Sudharsan, coming off a century in the previous outing against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, underlined his batting philosophy. As a team, me and Shubhi (Gill), we are focusing more on percentage cricket. We'll try and keep and push the team as much as front as possible. And what that means for us is giving them a very good base when they come in in 14th or 15th over, he told the broadcasters ahead of the toss. Highlighting how the format is changing, he stressed the need for adaptability, saying, T20 is evolving and as batters, we'll also have to evolve and be versatile enough for whatever comes in front of us at the situation. So I think I've focused on that and looking to play the situation rather than thinking this strike-rate I have to play. More focused on the situation and the conditions what is required.

IPL 2026: Fast Bowling Is A Tough Art, But Im Enjoying It, Says Jamie Overton
Chennai Super Kings: Fast bowling demands endurance, rhythm and constant adaptation, and Chennai Super Kings pacer Jamie Overton believes embracing those challenges has been key to him being able to enjoy his role in the IPL 2026 as while being a crucial cog on the side. As CSK clash against Gujarat Titans at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday, Overton highlighted the physical and technical demands of his craft. Fast bowling is a tough art and you're never going to bowl at 150 kmph all the time. It's about maintaining speed as much as possible. It's tough, but I'm enjoying it at the moment, he told broadcasters ahead of the game. Elaborating on his approach with the ball, Overton underlined continuity in his role across formats and tournaments. It's just a continuation of what I've been doing all summer. I felt I was playing a similar role in the Big Bash and in the World Cup. just trying to hit the wicket as hard as I can. The England pacer also reflected on coping with the demanding conditions in Chennai. It's a bit warm, it's just one of those conditions you need to get used to. It should be fine, just make sure the players are up and ready to go. It's just about doing the right things outside the game, taking a lot of fluids, having proper food and cardio, all such stuff, just making sure that all those things are taken care of, He stressed that preparation off the field plays a big role, but once the match begins, focus shifts entirely to execution. That's outside the game. Once the game starts, just focus on the match. It's a bit warm, it's just one of those conditions you need to get used to.

IPL 2026: Urvil Patel Comes In For CSK As GT Opt To Bowl
Chennai Super Kings: Gujarat Titans won the toss and elected to bowl against hosts Chennai Super Kings in the 37th fixture of the IPL 2026 here at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, in the first match-up of the double header Sunday. At the halfway stage of the tournament, both CSK and GT are evenly placed with three wins and four losses from seven matches, making this clash important for momentum and standings. CSK head into the game high on confidence after a dominant win over Mumbai Indians, powered by Sanju Samsons unbeaten 101 and a four-wicket haul from Akeal Hosein. Back at Chepauk, where they have won two of three matches, CSK will look to continue their strong home form. In contrast, GT are under pressure after back-to-back losses to MI and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, despite a century from Sai Sudharsan. While their bowling remains a strength, concerns over an inconsistent middle order persist as they aim to regain form. Winning the toss, GT skipper Shubman Gill said, We're gonna bowl first. It looks like a good wicket. On a wicket like this, it's good to have a total on the board. (The heat is) not that bad. A good bit of breeze going on, so hopefully it wouldn't be too tough on our bowlers. We're doing a lot of the things right. It's just about winning the small moments and I think in bowling when we're leaking runs, we are leaking too many runs in that period of three to four overs. So it's just about hitting that length ball consistently in the middle overs. And that's what the talk has been about. Honestly, if the wicket is nice (in the powerplay), that is our talk. If the wicket is well, get 70-80 in the powerplay, get as many actually in the powerplay but it's very important to assess the conditions and if the wicket is a 170-180 wicket, really you got to assess that as well because I think at the end of the day, it's important to play the conditions rather than something that has not happened. One change, Arshad is coming back in the squad. Meanwhile, CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said, It's a bit on the drier side and more often than not, it will remain the same, so we're batting first really well and wouldn't mind putting on the score again and defend it. The confidence is high looking at the margin of the runs that we won the last game. But again, this game starts fresh, starts from zero. We have to start assessing how the pitch is, bat accordingly, and then try and defend it. But obviously, confidence-wise, we are slightly getting better and better in terms of overall unit. It's just that one or two areas where we need to click, we need to fire, and we'll get better on from that. I've been getting starts and not able to convert it. It's very rare, to be honest, but it doesn't quite happen that often. But as I said, as long as I'm getting starts and as long as someone else is doing the job and we are getting over the line, it's fine. But whenever I feel, I'm there, I'm set, and I feel that today's my day, and I'll have to make sure I'll make it count, and I'm confident with that. We just got one change, Urvil comes in, and we'll play around with the impact player.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The talismanic Virat Kohli will be aiming to have another memorable outing at his original home ground as defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru look to extend their good showing in IPL 2026 over a struggling Delhi Capitals in a keenly awaited clash at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday evening. With Kohli requiring just 11 runs to become the first batsman in IPL history to hit the 9,000-run mark, the stage is set for him to add another chapter in his storied love affair with the iconic venue, where he averages a remarkable 66.8, including hitting seven fifties in 11 innings. Monday's contest pits two of the tournament's most in-form batters against each other. If RCB have Kohli in rip-roaring form, DC will be banking on KL Rahul to take charge with the bat again after his sensational unbeaten 152 off 67 balls against Punjab Kings - an innings that went in vain on Saturday afternoon. What will also cheer DC is that Nitish Rana has found his groove, hitting consecutive fifties. Second-placed RCB enter the match on the back of successfully chasing 206 against Gujarat Titans. All five of their wins this season have produced five different Player of the Match awardees. Their pace attack is at its efficient best, led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood, who have been excellent across phases - particularly in the death overs. In terms of batting, with Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar and Tim David all in great nick, RCB's ability to increase and maintain the tempo throughout their innings has been a standout factor this season. DC, however, are a wounded side looking to regroup and with just 24 hours to recover from their defeat to Punjab Kings, the turnaround is unforgiving. The loss of Lungi Ngidi to a head injury leaves a gap in their pace department, with Dushmantha Chameera likely to come in as cover. Their seam attack has been the least effective in IPL 2026, taking just 16 wickets - the fewest for any pace unit this season. Auqib Nabi and Mukesh Kumar have recorded high economy rates, while T Natarajan, though decent in the death overs, has also been expensive. Fielding has been an equally pressing concern, with DC dropping 16 catches this season and their catch efficiency standing at 60 percent - the lowest among all teams. The spin matchup, however, promises to be pivotal, with Axar Patel - DC's captain and RCB's nemesis with 23 IPL wickets against them - likely to bowl in the powerplay, while Kuldeep Yadav adds another dimension in the middle overs. If DC are to win, they will need both Axar and Kuldeep firing on all cylinders, while hoping their batting line-up can blunt the challenge from RCB's disciplined bowlers. At a venue that has produced five 200-plus totals in nine T20s this season - with teams batting second winning seven of those - another high-scoring, riveting contest is firmly on the cards. With the league stage now in its second half, Monday's contest carries significant implications beyond the two points on offer. For DC, it is a potentially season-defining test - one that demands their batting fireworks be backed by sharper execution with the ball and in the field. For RCB, who arrive with both form and a dominant 20-13 head-to-head history over DC, another win will go a long way in further enforcing their credentials in retaining their championship title.

IPL 2026: Khaleel Undergoes Successful Surgery As CSK Provides Positive Update
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. Khaleel has undergone a successful surgery! Wishing him strength and a quick recovery, the franchise said in a social media update. The 28-year-old fast bowler was earlier ruled out of the remainder of the tournament on April 16 after sustaining a right quadricep injury during CSKs match against Kolkata Knight Riders at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Khaleel had to leave the field midway through his spell after pulling up during his run-up. While it initially appeared to be cramps, he was seen clutching his right leg in pain and could not continue. His over was completed by teammate Gurjapneet Singh. Subsequent medical assessments revealed a tear in the quadriceps, a serious injury for a fast bowler. Sources had indicated earlier that surgery might be required, considering the nature of the damage and the recovery time involved. Khaleels absence is a major setback for CSK as the IPL 2026 season enters a crucial phase.

'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
