IPL 2026: Very Happy To Get The Momentum, Says Gill After GT Secure Top Two Finish

Chennai Super Kings: Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill said he was delighted to see his side regain momentum at the right time, after sealing a toptwo finish in IPL 2026 with a thumping 89-run win over Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday. GTs huge win was set up by Gill, B Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler hitting fifties, while Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada, and Rashid Khan picked three wickets each. Very important going into the playoffs. Very happy to get the momentum. If I look at the games, even the first couple of games, we were getting close, and it was about adding that extra 5 percent, which we got in the Delhi game. Very happy with the way I am batting. Whenever you get out, you feel you could do more. Yes, the fielding was better than in the last game. When you are playing such an intense game, the emotions come out. Neck is fine. It is about keeping up with the good things we are doing, and that is the key thing for us. After 12 games, we were at number one but lost the last two games and could not finish in the top two. Very grateful for the fans that turn up and support us, said Gill at the conclusion of the game. Player of the Match Siraj said he had worked hard to rediscover his rhythm with the new ball. The ball is coming out nicely. I was sitting out for most games in the World Cup, and I was working hard in the nets. I wasn't bowling well in the first few games, but I have gotten my rhythm back. I work on everything from my rhythm, yorkers, and bowling at different phases. On a red soil pitch, I would always try to get Sanju (Samson) driving. I don't try much and keep things simple, even if I can keep the pressure, then Rabada can pick the wickets.

IPL 2026: Not Many People Buy The Fact That We Are A Young Team In Transition, Says Gaikwad

Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad admitted the franchise is in a phase of transition with several inexperienced players, even as he expressed pride in the units effort despite missing out on the playoffs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 in Ahmedabad on Thursday. CSKs chances of entering the playoffs ended with them suffering their heaviest defeat in the IPL by 89 runs against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday. Not many people buy the fact that we are a young team in transition, with a lot of inexperienced players. More than 8-10 players have played less than 20 games; they've gotten exposure, and we've found out what areas we're lacking. We still have six away wins, and I'm proud of the unit. We missed out on chasing in Hyderabad and couldn't restrict them in Chennai. Not able to do that, but still proud. Moving on from Rahane, Rayudu, etc., the experience we had is tough... Karthik, Urvil, and Brevis, who missed out initially, are there. Karthik has potential and has areas to improve. Urvil's playing a full season for the first time, that comes with expectations, said Gaikwad at the conclusion of the game. Reflecting on the season, Gaikwad said injuries to Nathan Ellis, Khaleel Ahmed, Ayush Mhatre, Ramakrishna Ghosh, and Jamie Overton unsettled the side at various stages, while admitting the bowlers werent great in Ahmedabad. We wanted to chase whatever the total is asap. When you're chasing 230, it's not easy against that bowling attack. I thought, why don't we give it a shot and express ourselves, credit to them. The wicket was spongy to start, and they started well. Our bowling wasn't good in the Power-play. Hard to stop their openers. We had our chance to restrict them to under 200, but failed to do so. Reflecting on the season, Gaikwad said injuries to Nathan Ellis, Khaleel Ahmed, Ayush Mhatre, Ramakrishna Ghosh, and Jamie Overton unsettled the side at various stages, while admitting the bowlers werent great in Ahmedabad. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Asked about MS Dhonis future, who didnt play a single game due to calf and thumb injuries, Gaikwad said, You and I'll get to know it next year. It's a hard miss for us. He can come in those late overs and change the game just by staying in the crease. Never know about next season, but really happy with the guys we have. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: Siraj, Rabada, Rashid Pick Three Wickets Apiece As GT Seal Top-two Finish, Knock Out CSK

Chennai Super Kings: Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada, and Rashid Khan picked three wickets each as Gujarat Titans (GT) thrashed Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 89 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday, and sealed a top-two finish in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 points table. The result also meant five-time champions CSK have been eliminated from the race to the playoffs. After fifties from B. Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler took GT to 229/4, the bowlers ran through the CSK batting line-up to dismiss them for just 140 all out in 13.4 overs. Siraj (3-26) and Rabada (3-32) were stellar with the new ball yet again, while Rashid chipped in with 3-18. Starting from the word do, CSKs chase never got going. Sanju Samson fell on the first ball, edging off Siraj behind to Jos Buttler. Ruturaj Gaikwad briefly countered with a four and two sixes, but Siraj struck again in the second over by castling him for 16. Urvil Patel followed soon after, caught at deep square leg for a two-ball duck, leaving CSK tottering at 31/3. Matthew Short tried to inject momentum with a brisk 24, but Rabada removed him in the fifth over. Kartik Sharma and Dewald Brevis attempted to rebuild, but a direct hit from Gill ran the former out for 19. At 63/5, CSK were staring at the ignominy of being bowled out for a sub-100 score. But Shivam Dube launched a spirited counterattack, smashing four fours and as many sixes in his 17-ball 47. But Rashid Khans introduction ended his fightback, as Dube miscued a lofted shot and Gill pulled off a stunning diving catch at extra cover. Rashid then dismissed Anshul Kamboj (19) and Dewald Brevis (8), while Rabada took out Noor Ahmad and Spencer Johnson to end CSKs misery and hand GT a thumping victory to sign off from the league stage on a high. The result confirms GTs place in the top two; it gives them the cushion of an extra chance of playing the final in Ahmedabad on May 31. But Shivam Dube launched a spirited counterattack, smashing four fours and as many sixes in his 17-ball 47.

IPL 2026: Really Happy With Five Fifties In A Row, But A Lot Of Work To Do, Says Sudharsan

Chennai Super Kings: Gujarat Titans batter B. Sai Sudharsan said he was delighted to notch up five consecutive fifties in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 and be in an exclusive club that has Virender Sehwag, David Warner, and Jos Buttler, but stressed that the teams focus remained firmly on the bigger challenge ahead. Sudharsan, now the leading run-getter in IPL 2026, top-scored with a sparkling 84 as GT posted a mammoth 229/4 in their 20 overs against Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday. I think it feels really awesome to be in that list, but I think there's still a job to do. We have to win this game, and we have to build through the playoffs as well. So my eyes are on that. I'm very happy and grateful for the God to give this opportunity for me to be there, 5 games for the team. Really happy for that, said Sudharsan in a mid-innings chat with the broadcasters. Asked about his approach in tight situations, Sudharsan highlighted the importance of partnerships over personal milestones, as he stitched stands of 125 and 82 with Shubman Gill and Buttler, who hit 64 and 57 not out, respectively. I think the way Shubhi played today was just unbelievable. And even when Jos came in and gave that start, it was tremendous. Maybe I could have been at my best; I probably could have scored 1015 more runs. I think that's in my mind. No, I think we don't see our score and play accordingly.

IPL 2026: Sudharsan, Gill, Buttler Smash Fifties, Power GT To 229/4 Against CSK

Chennai Super Kings: Gujarat Titans rode on fluent fifties from B. Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler to post a daunting 229/4 against Chennai Super Kings in their final league stage clash of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday. It was an innings that was straight out of GTs successful template -- the top three batters once again did the bulk of the scoring and laid the foundation for posting a massive total. While Sudharsan top-scored with 84 off 53 balls, Gill smashed 64 off 37 balls, and Buttler applied finishing touches to hit an unbeaten 57 off 27 balls as the trio piled misery on a hapless CSK bowling line-up. Right from the word go, Gill and Sudharsan set the tone for GTs mammoth total on a red soil pitch. Gill came out with all the guys blazing to give GT a flying start, while Sudharsan initially played the supporting role. But once the powerplay ended, both batters shifted their gears beautifully, as boundaries came thick and fast from both ends. Gill raced to a 23ball fifty with a brace of sixes off Noor Ahmad, while also crossing 6000 T20 runs. Sudharsan followed him by getting his fifth consecutive IPL fifty off 35 balls, placing him in a club that already has Virender Sehwag, David Warner, and Buttler. Their 125-run stand also meant Gill and Sudharsan joined Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers to equal the record for most 100run partnerships in IPL-10. Sudharsan has also put together a seventh stand of 100 runs or more with Gill, which has set a new IPL record. CSK finally broke through in the 13th over when Gill miscued off Johnson to mid-wicket. Buttler walked in and immediately lifted Noor for two sixes to keep the tempo high. Sudharsan, meanwhile, continued to strike clean sixes and fours to move into the 80s. The 18th over swung momentum further GTs way. Sudharsan lofted Kamboj for six but perished on the next ball by holing out to long-off. Rahul Tewatia was run out without scoring, but Buttler responded with backtoback boundaries to reach his fifty off 23 balls. Washington Sundar joined Buttler and immediately carved Mukesh Choudhary for a six over third man. Though Sundar gave a catch behind to Urvil Patel on the final ball, GT had crossed 220 by then. Now facing an uphill chase, CSK will hope Sanju Samson, its most effective batter this season, will be fit enough to come out to bat in the second innings after a finger injury saw him get off the field in the second over. The 18th over swung momentum further GTs way. Sudharsan lofted Kamboj for six but perished on the next ball by holing out to long-off.

IPL 2026: Form Here Much Better Than It Was In World Cup, Says GTs Buttler

Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler said he feels in good touch this season and credited the Indian Premier League (IPL) for providing the ideal environment to sharpen his skills under pressure. Buttler has turned a corner from his woeful run in this years Mens T20 World Cup, where he managed just 87 runs in eight innings, by amassing 412 runs in 13 games for GT, who have already qualified for IPL 2026 playoffs. It's been much better than the World Cup. I've felt in really good form. I'd have liked to have converted a few more of those starts into big scores, but now I feel like I'm hitting the ball well. It (IPL) helps massively. Of course, here, there are great facilities. There's so much space for practice and so many resources. So it's been nice to just come here. Every time I've been to an IPL, I've found that it's been a really good place to work on my game, and obviously under pressure against the best players in the world. And it's a really enjoyable tournament to be a part of. So, it's been great. I think any time, doesn't matter what age you are, it's exciting and great to be here, said Buttler in a pre-match chat with the broadcasters. Reflecting on the last game, where GT lost to Kolkata Knight Riders, Buttler said the batting unit had done well but admitted lapses in other areas cost them the game. To be fair, I thought we batted pretty well on that surface. I think more so as a group, we were disappointed, mostly with the way we fielded and our execution, a little bit with the ball. But we've just got to come out here today, and it's obviously a massive game for both teams. Start on nought again and put in a really good performance. We've been playing some really good cricket throughout the season. So big game today.

IPL 2026: Gurjapneet, Short Included As CSK Elect To Bowl First Against GT; Prasidh Returns

Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have handed opportunities to Gurjapneet Singh and Matthew Short as captain Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and elected to bowl first against Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 66 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday. CSK head into their final league game knowing that a defeat will shut the door on their playoff hopes. Injuries have plagued their campaign, leaving them clinging to slim mathematical chances of entering the last four stage. Though a victory here will not guarantee them a topfour berth, as CSK have to be dependent on other results to go in their favour. After winning the toss, Gaikwad said Gurjapneet and Short are included in place of Akeal Hosein and Prashant Veer. There will be some pace and bounce, and we want to explore it early on. It is about trusting the process, and we didn't get the results our way. We want to keep it simple and turn it around, he said. GT, meanwhile, will be keen to arrest any slide in momentum ahead of the playoffs, and a win over CSK would also strengthen their push for a toptwo finish. Skipper Shubman Gill said pacer Prasidh Krishna replaces R Sai Kishore in their playing eleven when the GT bowling innings comes. We'd have bowled first. Doesn't make a difference as there's not much dew. It's all about keeping the intensity up. Our fielding hasn't been on par in the last couple of seasons. Our bowling has been right up there, and batting has been good too. All three departments need to come together. Just because we have a Q, doesn't mean the job is done. Hope for three more good games, he said. The pitch report by Graeme Swann and Aaron Finch said Thursdays game will be played on a red soil pitch, with square boundaries at 62 and 70 metres respectively, while the ground boundary is at 72 metres. Both opined that the pitch having green grass just tells them that it will hold enough pace in what is expected to be a good batting wicket.

Carrying Memories Of Past Performances Can Eat You Up: Sudharsan

New Delhi: Gujarat Titans batter Sai Sudharsan admitted that T20 crickets constantly changing nature and demands flexibility from batters, especially during difficult phases in a tournament. Rather than viewing lean scores as setbacks, the Tamil Nadu cricketer said he treats them as opportunities to improve. After emerging as one of the standout performers of the previous IPL season, Sudharsan has continued to display calmness and clarity amid the pressures that come with expectations, records and evolving demands of T20 cricket. I don't look at it as a lean patch or a phase where I'm not scoring runs. It's a learning experience for me to move forward, improve, and get better. In an important tournament like this, it's crucial not to carry the residue of the previous innings. It can eat you up if you enter the game with memories of previous performances lingering in your mind. So, I try to keep things as open as possible, Sudharsan told JioStar. If the game has gone well, yes, we can carry the confidence, but if it hasn't, we try to keep our minds as fresh as possible for the upcoming games. There's a very famous quote by Babe Ruth, 'Yesterday's home runs won't win today's games.' That's my motto because whatever I've done yesterday doesn't serve a purpose for me today. The opener explained that he prefers to approach every day and every season with a fresh perspective rather than relying on past accomplishments. I have to start the grind again from today. And when tomorrow comes, I'll start fresh again. So, I don't worry about or dwell on the last season. I try to take the learnings from it and remain as fresh as possible for the coming season or the coming day. The 24-year-old further spoke about how rapidly T20 batting trends evolve and why adaptability has become one of the most important skills in the shortest format. It's also important to understand how the game is evolving because T20 cricket changes very quickly. As batters, we have to be versatile enough to adjust to what the team or the situation demands. If we are able to execute that, I think that's the best thing, he said. Sudharsan also shed light on his successful opening partnership with Gujarat Titans captain Gill, a duo that has consistently laid strong foundations for the franchise over the last two seasons. Praising Gills tactical awareness and game reading, he described the Indian ODI and Test skipper as someone who brings calmness and balance to the partnership. Shubman is such a mastermind. He understands the game so well and is tactically very strong. It gives you a sense of freedom to do whatever you want because you know Shubman is there. And I think it's vice versa, when he tries to go after the bowlers, he knows that I'm there and can anchor the innings. I think we complement each other really well.

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.
