IPL 2026: Iyer Laments Poor Execution Of fielding And Bowling After Loss Vs Delhi Capitals
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Shreyas Iyer pointed to poor execution with both the ball and in the field after Punjab Kings couldn't defend 210 against Delhi Capitals in a thrilling finish at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on Monday. Reflecting on the loss, Iyer acknowledged that PBKS let the game slip due to poor bowling and fielding. Dont have to beat around the bush, but fielding and bowling again, he said after the match. PBKS seemed in control after scoring 210/5, thanks to Priyansh Aryas explosive 56 off 33 balls, Iyers quick runs in the middle, and Suryansh Shedges impressive late attack on Mitchell Starc in the penultimate over. Arya set the tone right from the start, hitting Starc over cover-point for six as PBKS raced to 72/0 during the powerplay. Iyer maintained the momentum through the middle overs, and Shedge then hammered Starc for a six, a four, and a massive 100-meter maximum in the 19th over, pushing PBKS beyond 200. The PBKS captain insisted that their total should have been enough on a challenging pitch that provided seam movement and inconsistent bounce. Absolutely. I feel it was 30 runs more on this wicket, given how the ball was seaming and the variable bounce, he stated. However, DC responded with their best batting performance of the season. They found themselves at 14/2 and later 38/3, but rebuilt with captain Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs. David Miller then changed the game with a series of boundaries and sixes. IPL debutant Madhav Tiwari added a fearless cameo of 18 off eight balls, while Auqib Nabi finished the chase with a towering six, marking the highest successful IPL chase in Dharamsala history.

IPL 2026: Skipper Axar Patel, David Miller's Fifties And Lower-order Blitz Keep Delhi Capitals Alive
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Delhi Capitals accomplished the highest successful chase in IPL history by overhauling 210 runs with six balls to spare against Punjab Kings in Match 55 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala, on Monday. A strong performance from captain Axar Patel, an aggressive innings from David Miller, and a bold late cameo from IPL debutant Madhav Tiwari. Delhi Capitals chased down 211 after facing early setbacks at 14/2 and later 138/5. The chase started poorly. Before this, the highest successful T20 chase in Dharamsala had been South Africa's 200 against India in 2015. In the IPL, Chennai Super Kings' 193 against Kings XI Punjab in 2010 set the record. PBKS opening bowlers seemed ready to defend 210 as Arshdeep Singh conceded only six runs in the first over, despite an edged boundary. The first blow came quickly. Playing his first game of the season, Shardul Thakur bowled Abishek Porel with a well-placed ball that knocked the middle stump out of the ground. Things got worse when KL Rahul top-edged a pull shot off Arshdeep, allowing Marco Jansen to sprint from first slip to make a spectacular diving catch ahead of Prabhsimran Singh. At 14/2 after three overs, DC was under significant pressure. Debutant Sahil Parakh briefly lifted the mood. After almost getting out on his second ball against Bhuvneshwar Kumar, he opened his account with a six over long-off off Thakur and later contributed a boundary in a 20-run fourth over that also included two fours from Tristan Stubbs. But Arshdeep returned in the third Power-play to dismiss Parakh for 14. The batter mistimed a ramp shot towards short fine leg, where Yuzvendra Chahal nearly dropped a simple catch before securing it. DC stood at 38/3 after five overs, but Axar and Stubbs began to build a solid partnership. However, PBKSs fielding mixed moments of brilliance with mistakes. Arshdeep dropped Stubbs at long-on off Ben Dwarshuis, while Suryansh Shedge later misjudged Axars shot at deep square leg. Eventually, Stubbs was run out after a mix-up, with Cooper Connolly making a sharp direct hit at the bowlers end. Miller then entered the game and, along with Axar, reignited the chase. Dew settled in, making the ball slippery, which led PBKS to change it after giving away 15 wides in 13 overs. Axar, who had scored just 44 runs in eight innings before this match at an average of 6.3, finally found his rhythm. He hit Marcus Stoinis for three consecutive boundaries, reaching a 28-ball fifty, and added a six off Dwarshuis as DC reached 113/4 after 12 overs. Arshdeep performed well, finishing with 2/21 after allowing only five runs in the 15th over, but Miller kept DCs hopes alive. He hit Jansen for a six and a four before Ashutosh Sharma contributed another boundary in a 15-run over. Chahal, trying to stop one of those boundaries, appeared to injure his left shoulder and didn't bowl for the rest of the innings. The match shifted again in the 17th over. Miller hit two huge sixes off Jansen, putting DC in a stronger position. However, attempting a third six, he top-edged a pull shot, and Prabhsimran made a diving catch near short third. Still, the game had one more twist. IPL debutant Madhav Tiwari displayed remarkable composure under pressure. After hitting a boundary through a backward point, he partnered with Ashutosh to score 19 runs off Stoinis in the 18th over. Tiwaris 18 runs off just eight balls changed the game and kept DC in the fight. Needing 17 runs in the final two overs, Tiwari started with another boundary before Ashutosh hit a six, only to get out immediately after. A no-ball boundary shifted the momentum again. Auqib Nabi finished the chase with a massive six, allowing DC to complete the highest successful IPL chase in Dharamsala and keeping their playoff hopes alive. Still, the game had one more twist. IPL debutant Madhav Tiwari displayed remarkable composure under pressure. After hitting a boundary through a backward point, he partnered with Ashutosh to score 19 runs off Stoinis in the 18th over.

IPL 2026: Arya, Iyer Fifties Guide PBKS To 201/5 Against DC
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Punjab Kings got off to a quick start with Priyansh Arya, followed by a steady effort from Shreyas Iyer and a late burst from Suryansh Shedge, which helped them reach 210/5 in 20 overs against Delhi Capitals in Match 55 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala, on Monday. Arya set the pace from the very first ball, hitting Mitchell Starc over cover-point for six. This marked just the second time Starc had been hit for a first-ball six in a T20 match. The last time it happened was in IPL 2026 against Yashasvi Jaiswal in Jaipur. Starcs opening over fell apart quickly as he gave up 22 runs, his highest ever in the first over of a T20 innings, exceeding his previous worst of 15 runs against DC in 2024 while playing for Kolkata Knight Riders. Arya continued to attack without missing a beat. He targeted Azmatullah Nabi and welcomed Lungi Ngidi with back-to-back sixes, one pulled over midwicket and the other launched over extra cover. This brought his total to five sixes in his first 13 balls. PBKS raced to 50 runs in just four overs when Arya sliced Ngidi over backward point for four off a slower ball. Even when DC regained some control with the replacement ball moving, Arya reached a 24-ball fifty in the sixth over, which felt rather calm after his explosive start of 39 off 15 balls. PBKS ended the powerplay at 72/0. DC finally made a breakthrough when Prabhsimran Singh, who struggled to find his rhythm despite a few fortunate boundaries, misplayed a delivery from Mukesh Kumar to deep backward square leg, where Nabi took a tumbling catch. Prabhsimran scored 18 off 15 balls. Shreyas Iyer came in at No. 3, ahead of Cooper Connolly, likely to break up PBKS left-handers, and immediately faced challenging seam movement from Mukesh. Aryas impressive innings finally ended at 56 off 33 when IPL debutant Madhav Tiwari struck. After being fooled by a sharp bouncer, Arya responded with a boundary over extra cover. However, he misplayed another short delivery soon after, leading to Sahil Parakh catching the ball at deep cover. PBKS were 107/2 after 10 overs. Iyer ensured the innings maintained its pace. He quickly moved to 27 off 17 balls, including an impressive 73-metre straight six off Ngidi, even after being completely deceived by the slower ball, causing his bat to slip from his hand as the ball sailed over the ropes. Connolly initially struggled but later exploded, hitting Starc for a towering 96-metre six over long-off and then taking on Ngidi with a four and a six in consecutive balls. PBKS reached 162/2 after 16 overs, setting the stage for a score well over 200. Mukesh briefly slowed the run rate with a solid 17th over that yielded only six singles, but Tiwaris final over went for 19 runs as Iyer struck two sixes and Connolly added a boundary before getting out to a slower bouncer. Still, Tiwari ended with strong figures of 2/40 on his IPL debut. The real fireworks came in the 19th over. Starc struck twice in two deliveries, dismissing Marcus Stoinis and Shashank Singh with catches to extra cover and mid-off. However, Suryansh Shedge responded strongly. Facing the hat-trick ball, he hit Starc straight back over his head for six. He then smartly chipped a full delivery over mid-off for four and capped the over by pulling a ball deep into the midwicket stands for a massive 100-metre six. Ngidi capped off with a fine seven-run over to restrict Punjab Kings to 210/5 in 20 overs. Mukesh briefly slowed the run rate with a solid 17th over that yielded only six singles, but Tiwaris final over went for 19 runs as Iyer struck two sixes and Connolly added a boundary before getting out to a slower bouncer. Still, Tiwari ended with strong figures of 2/40 on his IPL debut.

IPL 2026: Ben Dwarshius Debuts For PBKS As DC Elect To Bowl In Dharamsala
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to field against Punjab Kings in the Match 55 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala, on Monday. For the Delhi Capitals, it is now or never. After the eliminations of Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians on Sunday, DC remain only mathematically alive in the playoff race. Sitting eighth with eight points from 11 games, another defeat will officially end their campaign. PBKS, meanwhile, have hit a slight slump with three consecutive defeats after a dominant start that saw them win six of their first seven matches. Even so, they are still firmly in contention, and a victory here could propel them back to the top of the table. Axar Patel tried to keep the mood light, saying at least there was one thing going right for him, and that was winning the toss. He said DC had not been playing bad cricket but admitted they had lost key moments in matches on a number of occasions. Axar said the team wanted to stay true to its brand of cricket and take the results as they come. You dont know how pitches are playing until you play on them, says Shreyas. Don't think too much about the points table, just focus on the little details and back your instincts, he says. He says that is what they have lacked in the last few matches - believing in their instincts. Ups and downs are part of the IPL, and it is all about getting the best performance. Shreyas: Dwarshuis comes in for Lockie, who has a slight niggle. That is the only change for the Punjab Kings. Punjab Kings made two changes to their side, bringing in Priyansh Arya and Ben Dwarshuis in place of Vyshak Vijaykumar and Lockie Ferguson. Delhi Capitals, meanwhile, rang in five changes, with Abishek Porel, Sahil Parakh, David Miller, Madhav Tiwari, and Auqib Nabi replacing Sameer Rizvi, Nitish Rana, Pathum Nissanka, Ashutosh Sharma, and Vipraj Nigam.

Flood crisis management teams should be constituted in every state: Amit Shah
New Delhi, May 10: At a high-level meeting on Sunday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said flood crisis management teams (FCMTs) should be constituted and activated in every state. At the meeting, Shah reviewed the country's preparedness to deal with potential floods and heatwaves and underlined that efforts should be made to achieve zero-casualty disaster management. Shah said at least 60 lakes should be included in the plan to develop an early-warning system for 30 high-risk lakes in Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim with the National Disaster Management Authority's (NDMA) support, according to a government statement. Shah also said there should be an integrated system for flood forecasting at both the central and state levels. FCMTs should be constituted and activated in every state, the home minister said. He asked the NDMA to conduct a study to assess how many states are following the ministry's directives and the NDMA guidelines for dealing with forest fires, heatwaves and floods. Shah said efforts must be made to implement the vision of zero-casualty disaster management. Emphasising that greater possibilities for water conservation and improvement in groundwater levels should be explored through water-storage and check-dam projects, he said the objective should be to conserve water by constructing check dams on rivers, while also minimising the impact of heatwaves. Shah said the CAMPA Fund should be utilised to make efforts aimed at maintaining environmental balance. He said a master plan should be prepared to address the changes in weather patterns caused by climate change and the growing disaster-related challenges arising from those. Shah also said weather forecasts and warnings should be disseminated widely and effectively. Efforts should be made to further improve the assessment of the upcoming monsoon by studying casualties during the season, the accuracy of forecasts and the damage caused to the agriculture sector, he added. The meeting was attended by Union Jal Shakti Minister C R Patil, the Union home secretary, secretaries and senior officials of various ministries, members and heads of departments of the NDMA.
IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch PBKS Vs DC, Know All Details
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Their campaign in trouble after three successive defeats, the Punjab Kings will clash with the Delhi Capitals in the match number 55 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamshala on Monday. Punjab began their campaign in dominant fashion, winning six of their opening seven matches and emerging as one of the strongest sides in the tournament. However, their momentum has faded in recent weeks, with Shreyas Iyers men suffering three consecutive defeats. As the playoff battle heats up, PBKS will be desperate to halt the slide and strengthen their chances of securing a top-four finish. On the other hand, the Delhi Capitals find themselves staring at an early exit from the competition. With only four wins from 11 matches, the Capitals have struggled to maintain consistency throughout the season. Even if they win all their remaining fixtures, they can only finish with a maximum of 14 points, leaving their playoff hopes hanging by a thread. To make matters worse, DC have managed just one victory in their last six outings, and their recent run of poor performances has likely dented the teams confidence heading into this crucial clash.

Joint Solar Moves into Next Growth Phase with Higher-Efficiency Solar Module Manufacturing in India
Joint Solar , a trusted name in the renewable energy segment has announced next phase of growth with higher efficiency solar modules manufacturing among its key focus areas. Backed by more than two decades in business, the company has established a 1.3 GW manufacturing base and executed over five lakh installations pan-India. Mr. Vinod Sharma, Managing Director, Joint Solar Founded by engineer duo Mr. Vinod Sharma and Mrs. Pratibha Sharma , Joint Solar began operations in the year 2000 when awareness around solar energy was still limited or almost negligible in most parts of the country. Joint Solar initially focused on products such as solar street lights, solar power plants, solar high mast systems and solar pumps, before expanding its operations in 2009 and widening its footprint across multiple regions. Over the years, the company has executed more than five lakh installations pan-India, with a strong presence across North India, including Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi-NCR, while also expanding into eastern markets such as Odisha, West Bengal, Nagaland and Mizoram. Joint Solar said it currently manufactures solar panels across poly, mono and TOPCon technologies, aligned with changing customer demand and evolving efficiency requirements. The company operates two plants, including a major manufacturing facility in Pilakhua near Hapur with 1.3 GW capacity, supporting its focus on large-scale production and advanced solar modules. The company has also set a target to produce more than 5,000 higher-efficiency modules daily, as it aligns manufacturing capabilities with rising demand in the sector. Speaking on the company’s journey, Mr. Vinod Sharma, Managing Director, Joint Solar , said, “When we started in 2000, awareness around solar energy was limited. Over the years, the market has changed significantly and customer expectations have evolved. We have grown with these changes by upgrading technologies, expanding manufacturing and staying focused on dependable products.” He added, “Our approach has been to combine experience with continuous improvement. We have an R&D division that works on technology upgrades and product development, and we remain committed to contributing to India’s renewable energy goals through quality manufacturing.” Joint Solar said customer demand is increasingly shifting towards advanced and higher-efficiency technologies, prompting manufacturers to stay aligned with product innovation. The company said its focus remains on upgrading product offerings and strengthening its position in line with changing market requirements. The company also said continuous technology upgradation and in-house research remain important areas of focus, with efforts directed at aligning product offerings with evolving market needs. Joint Solar said its recent industry recognition, including the Award for Excellence in Renewable Energy, has added encouragement to its focus on quality manufacturing and long-term growth. Commenting on wider solar adoption in India, Mr. Sharma said awareness remains a key challenge. “Lack of awareness continues to be one of the reasons solar has not expanded to its full potential. We have been making continuous efforts to spread awareness about renewable energy and help build confidence around solar solutions,” he said. The company said smaller cities and emerging markets continue to present opportunities, with dealer-led growth and stronger distribution remaining important focus areas. Joint Solar said its long-term priorities remain centered on advanced manufacturing, technology upgradation and supporting the broader clean energy transition through reliable solar solutions.
