IPL 2026: Punjab Can Use Harpreet Brar Against RCB, Says Sanjay Bangar
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India cricketer Sanjay Bangar believes Punjab Kings (PBKS) should consider bringing back spinner Harpreet Brar for their upcoming clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) after the sides narrow defeat to Mumbai Indians (MI) in the IPL 2026 clash at Dharamshala. Punjab Kings suffered a heartbreaking loss despite posting 200/8, as Mumbai Indians chased down the target with one ball to spare. Tilak Varma starred with an unbeaten 75, while Ryan Rickelton provided a quick start with 48 off 23 balls. Looking ahead to Punjabs next match against table-toppers RCB, Bangar said the afternoon conditions could help the team use two spinners effectively and bring Harpreet Brar back into the playing XI. I think Punjab Kings will have the opportunity to use Harpreet Brar because he has always been a quality performer, especially against RCB, Bangar told Jio Hotstar. The former India batting coach, who has also worked with RCB in the IPL, added that Brar has historically troubled Bengalurus batting line-up. Having been part of RCB myself, I know he has troubled several of their batters over the years, he added. Bangar felt Punjab have already tried most of their pace-bowling combinations this season and should now look towards spin as a better option to control opposition batters. It helps that the next game against RCB is a day game because Punjab can use two spinners. So far, they have explored almost all their pace-bowling options, so perhaps it is time to go back to spin and hope that becomes an effective way of containing teams, he said. Bangar also reflected on the Mumbai Indians successful chase and pointed out that Punjab still had control of the game despite slow innings from Rohit Sharma and Sherfane Rutherford. Shreyas Iyer used only five bowlers in this game, and there was always going to be a point when the batters targeted Bartlett. Chahal and Arshdeep had bowled extremely well until then. In a way, Punjab Kings took away their own advantage, Bangar explained. He also praised Tilak Varma for carrying Mumbais chase under pressure.

'This Was A Game Punjab Kings Should Have Won': Gavaskar
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar feels that the Punjab Kings (PBKS) should have won the game against the Mumbai Indians (MI), and they have let a winning position slip away as they lost the match after scoring 200 runs in the first innings. Punjab Kings had recovered brilliantly in the final overs after a middle-overs collapse, with Azmatullah Omarzai producing a late assault to push the total to 200. Omarzai smashed 38 off just 17 balls, while opener Prabhsimran Singh earlier scored 57 off 32 deliveries. However, the Mumbai Indians chased down the target with one ball to spare, thanks to an unbeaten 75 from Tilak Varma and an aggressive start from Ryan Rickelton. Reflecting on the result, Gavaskar said PBKS were in a strong position after their late batting surge. This was a game Punjab Kings should have won after scoring 53 runs in the last three overs to get past 200. At that stage, they had the momentum and looked in control, Gavaskar told Jio Hotstar. Shreyas Iyers failure also hurt because when he scores, Punjab usually gets another 20-30 runs, which could have made the difference, Gavaskar explained. The cricket legend also questioned some of Punjabs bowling decisions, especially the use of Xavier Bartlett, who went wicketless and proved expensive. The Australian pacer gave away 53 runs in 3.5 overs. Bartlett has been expensive, and I was surprised he wasnt given the new ball on a helpful pitch, he said. Gavaskar reserved special praise for Omarzai, who contributed with both bat and ball during the match, and suggested Punjab should continue backing the Afghan all-rounder in the remaining games. Bartlett has been expensive, and I was surprised he wasnt given the new ball on a helpful pitch, he said.

Bowling Has Become A Major Concern: Chawla On PBKS Struggles After Fifth Consecutive Loss
New Delhi: Punjab Kings IPL 2026 campaign continues to spiral after another painful defeat, with former India spinner Piyush Chawla identifying the teams bowling struggles as the biggest factor behind their slide in the points table. Following PBKS six-wicket loss to Mumbai Indians in Dharamshala, Chawla said the franchise now finds itself under enormous pressure heading into the final phase of the league stage. Punjab, who once looked firmly on course for the playoffs after a strong start to the season, have now suffered five consecutive defeats. Their inability to defend 200 against the Mumbai Indians has further complicated their qualification hopes, leaving them in a must-win situation in the remaining matches. Reflecting on the teams struggles, Chawla pointed to the underperformance of PBKS overseas pace attack as a major concern. Punjab Kings are now under tremendous pressure because theyve reached a stage where they must win their remaining games to stay alive in the tournament. Considering the kind of start they had to the season, very few would have expected them to be in this position. The bowling has become a major concern, especially with their overseas fast bowlers struggling for form and consistency, Chawla told JioStar. He specifically mentioned Marco Jansen and Xavier Bartlett, both of whom endured difficult outings against MI during the chase. Marco Jansen hasnt looked at his best, while Xavier Bartlett has found it difficult once the new-ball spell is over. When your premier overseas pacers concede heavily across their combined spells, it becomes extremely difficult to control a 200-plus chase, he said. Mumbai Indians successfully chased down the 201-run target with one ball remaining, powered by Tilak Varmas unbeaten 75 off 33 deliveries. Will Jacks also played a key finishing role with a rapid 25 off just 10 balls, helping MI seal victory in a tense encounter. Chawla praised the composure shown by Tilak and Jacks during the pressure chase, emphasising the importance of sticking to fundamentals in high-pressure moments, as he said, In pressure situations, going back to your basics becomes extremely important because those are the habits youve built over years of playing cricket. Tilak Varma and Will Jacks did that really well, they focused on holding their shape and trusting their technique rather than trying to overhit. He also highlighted how the batting pair adapted smartly to the conditions in Dharamshala, where the altitude often assists stroke-makers. In conditions like Dharamshala, where the ball travels quickly because of the altitude, timing the ball properly is often enough to clear the boundary. Their communication in the middle was also crucial. They understood that as long as they maintained their shape against those variations, the pace on the ball would help them score freely. That clarity and composure made a big difference in the chase, he stated. He also highlighted how the batting pair adapted smartly to the conditions in Dharamshala, where the altitude often assists stroke-makers.

PBKS Need To Reset Mentally And Focus On Playing Their Best Cricket: Mark Boucher
Mark Boucher: Punjab Kings IPL 2026 campaign has hit a critical phase after another narrow defeat, this time against Mumbai Indians in a high-scoring thriller at Dharamshala and former South Africa wicketkeeper-batter Mark Boucher believes the side now faces a mental challenge as much as a cricketing one and has urged the franchise to focus on playing fearless cricket in their remaining matches. PBKS slumped to their fifth consecutive defeat after failing to defend a 200-run total against MI on Thursday. The loss has left their playoff hopes hanging by a thread despite the team having enjoyed a strong start to the season earlier in the tournament. Reflecting on Punjabs current situation, Boucher said the pressure of qualification scenarios could be weighing heavily on the squad. Punjab Kings have found themselves in a difficult position after a series of close defeats, especially considering the strong start they had to the season. Sometimes, constantly thinking about the top four and qualification scenarios can add extra pressure, and perhaps stepping away from that mindset could actually help them. If they approach the remaining games with a more fearless attitude and feel like they have nothing to lose, it might free them up mentally, Boucher told JioStar. Boucher also pointed to the unpredictable nature of the IPL, where momentum can rapidly change over the course of a season. The IPL is a tournament where momentum can shift very quickly, just as teams can build winning streaks, losing streaks can also take hold through small moments and missed opportunities. Punjab Kings now need to reset mentally and focus purely on playing their best cricket in the matches ahead, he added. Punjab appeared to have posted a competitive total after putting up 200/8 in their 20 overs. Prabhsimran Singh led the charge with a fluent 57 off 32 balls, while Azmatullah Omarzai provided a late flourish with a blistering 38 from just 17 deliveries. However, MI chased down the target with one ball remaining, thanks largely to Tilak Varmas unbeaten 75 off 33 balls. Boucher felt key moments during the chase ultimately swung the contest in Mumbais favour, as he said, In games like these, small moments make a huge difference. Punjab Kings actually showed good intent and intensity in the field, and you could sense the desperation to stay in the contest. But at key stages, things didnt quite go their way. Some of the fine margins, like edges running away or execution under pressure, proved costly. Punjab appeared to have posted a competitive total after putting up 200/8 in their 20 overs.

Our Destiny Is Still In Our Hands: Brad Haddin Stays Positive On PBKS Playoff Chances
After Punjab Kings: After Punjab Kings (PBKS) suffered their fifth consecutive loss after going down to Mumbai Indians, assistant coach Brad Haddin showed full faith in the squad and emphasised that the teams path to the playoffs remains within their control. After a strong start, and despite losing wickets in quick succession in the middle, the Kings staged a remarkable recovery to reach a total of 200/8. The lower order took the attack to the opposition, ensuring the side was right in the contest until the very last over. While Mumbai Indians managed to chase the target with just one ball to spare, the depth shown by the Kings' batting unit remains a key positive heading into the final two league games. Despite a narrow result that didn't go their waymarking the side's fifth consecutive lossthe team remains in a competitive position, currently sitting in fourth place with 13 points as the race for the playoffs intensifies. The one thing to come out of it is weve got two games of cricket left and our destiny is still in our hands. Now theres no tomorrow; theres no talking about anything else.

Well assess this quickly and get our heads around playing a day game here in a couple of days' time, Haddin said in a post-match presser. He also highlighted the teams ability to post a high total and credited the opposition for a standout individual performance. I thought we did really well to get to the total we did. Mumbai bowled well early, but we had some really good hitting in the back end of the game to get us to what we thought was a really good total. We felt like we were in control for a long time, but it took a pretty special knock from Tilak (Varma) to get Mumbai home. That was a special innings and you have to give credit to that. Haddin spoke candidly about the atmosphere in the camp and the pressure that comes with the business end of the tournament.

J&K police will 'hunt and hound' ISI-linked drug operatives: DGP
Srinagar, May 14: Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police (DGP) Nalin Prabhat on Thursday issued a stern warning to Pakistan-based gangster Shahzad Bhatti, accusing him of working in tandem with Pakistans intelligence establishment to push narcotics and fuel narco-terror activities in the Union Territory. Addressing a press conference here, the police chief said security agencies would relentlessly pursue Bhatti and dismantle the infrastructure supporting the narcotics trade. A warning to Pakistan-based Shezad Bhati, who is ISIs acolyte and partner in pumping narcotics into India: We will hunt and hound you and your associates, and decimate your evil infrastructure, Prabhat said. He was flanked by Special DG Coordination SJM Geelani, IGP Kashmir, V K Birdi and IG Crime Sarah Rizvi. The DGP said Jammu and Kashmir Police has intensified its fight against narco-terrorism alongside its counter-terror operations, describing drug trafficking as a major threat to society and national security. While firmly focusing on combating Pakistani-sponsored terrorism, J-K Police has paid equal attention to the menace of narco-terrorism under the leadership of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha through the Nasha Mukt Abhiyan launched on April 11, he said. Highlighting the achievements of the anti-drug campaign, Prabhat said the police force has registered significant progress since 2023 in curbing narcotics-related crimes, particularly through aggressive property attachments and preventive detentions. J&K Police has shown consistent performance since the year 2023 in all parameters. There have been sustained property attachments, and from 2023 to 2026, in terms of attachment of property, there has been a 12-fold increase, he said. According to the DGP, Jammu and Kashmir Police ranked third nationally in 2025 for property attachments linked to narcotics proceeds and secured the top rank in the country for PIT NDPS detentions. There have been 240 PIT NDPS detentions, for which J-K Police has been ranked number one in the country in 2025, he added. Prabhat said the Nasha Mukt Abhiyan has resulted in a substantial rise in enforcement activity, with a nearly seven-fold increase in NDPS cases across the Union Territory. Eight hundred and six persons have been arrested in 724 cases registered under the NDPS Act, he said. Among the major arrests, the DGP named Gulzar Ahmad alias Lau Gujjar, wanted in 28 cases, and Avneet Singh alias Nagi, wanted in 17 narcotics-related cases in Jammu province. Both have been apprehended recently in successful operations conducted by Jammu Police, he said. Giving details of the seizures made during the campaign, Prabhat said police recovered 667 kilograms of narcotics and 19,000 units of psychotropic substances. He further said preventive action has been initiated against 24 habitual drug offenders and that 97 properties worth Rs 41.85 crore linked to narcotics trafficking have been identified and attached. Anantnag Police attached properties worth Rs 6.17 crore in a single case, which is the largest attachment in one case so far, he said. In a first-of-its-kind action, Jammu and Kashmir Police also attached properties located outside the Union Territory, including in Punjab and Chandigarh. Properties linked with narcotics proceeds have been attached in Gurdaspur, Pathankot and Chandigarh, the DGP said. Prabhat also revealed that 41 illegally acquired properties worth nearly Rs 15 crore, raised through narcotics proceeds, have been demolished after following due legal procedures. On efforts to destroy illegal cultivation, he said police teams destroyed poppy and cannabis crops spread over 117 kanals of land. The DGP said awareness and sensitisation campaigns remain a major component of the anti-drug initiative. More than 2,401 awareness programmes have been conducted across schools, colleges and public places in identified hotspots, covering over three lakh participants, he said. Prabhat also said the police intensified inspections of pharmaceutical establishments to prevent misuse of prescription drugs. A total of 5,238 chemists and druggists have been checked, and action has been initiated against 151 erring establishments, he added. The police chief further said authorities have suspended or cancelled driving licences of 162 persons involved in narcotics cases, besides acting against 92 vehicle registration certificates linked to drug trafficking. Ten passports have also been recommended for impounding, he said, asserting that the crackdown against narcotics networks and their financial ecosystem would continue with full force.

IPL 2026: 'A Tough Pill To Swallow,' Says Shreyas Iyer After Punjab Kings Defeat To Mumbai Indians
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Shreyas Iyer described Punjab Kings narrow defeat against the Mumbai Indians as a tough pill to swallow after his side failed to defend a 200-run total in a thrilling Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 contest at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala on Thursday. Punjab Kings looked in control after posting 200/8, with Prabhsimran Singh scoring a rapid 57 and Azmatullah Omarzai providing a crucial late push with 38 off just 17 balls. However, the Mumbai Indians chased down the target with one ball remaining, powered by Tilak Varmas unbeaten 75 and an explosive start from Ryan Rickelton. The defeat left Punjab disappointed, especially after recovering strongly in the final overs to cross the 200-run mark following a middle-order collapse. Well, absolutely a tough pill to swallow, but I don't want to pinpoint any situation over here because it was a great game of cricket. Well fought game, Shreyas said after the match. The Punjab skipper reserved special praise for Tilak Varma, whose calm and aggressive approach under pressure turned the chase in Mumbais favour. He played amazingly, he was selecting his shots pretty well, and he manoeuvred the field nicely, so credit to him, he added. Punjab were struggling at one stage and appeared set for a total around 170-180 before Omarzais late counterattack changed the momentum completely. The Afghan all-rounder smashed four sixes in his quick cameo to lift Punjab to 200. Certainly, at a point, we were looking at around 170 to 180, and from there on, he simply changed the momentum towards us. Getting those scoops of sixes, and from 16th or 17th over, from there on, we gained the momentum, and getting to 200 was a commendable performance for him, Shreyas said. Despite the loss, the Punjab captain remained optimistic about the teams chances in the remaining league matches, including the upcoming afternoon clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Certainly, at a point, we were looking at around 170 to 180, and from there on, he simply changed the momentum towards us.

IPL 2026: Tilak Varmas Unbeaten 75 Powers Mumbai Indians To Six-wicket Win Over Punjab Kings
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Tilak Varma played a brilliant unbeaten knock of 75 runs as the Mumbai Indians (MI) chased down a target of 201 against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala on Thursday. Mumbai completed the chase with one ball to spare after losing only four wickets in a high-scoring encounter. Earlier, Punjab Kings had posted 200/8 in 20 overs, thanks to a half-century from Prabhsimran Singh and a late cameo from Azmatullah Omarzai. Chasing a big target, the Mumbai Indians began cautiously as openers Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma scored only 13 runs in the first two overs. However, Rickelton soon changed the momentum by attacking Marco Jansen with aggressive strokeplay. The left-hander smashed boundaries and sixes regularly and dominated the Power-play. He hit four fours and four sixes during his quick innings and helped Mumbai reach 59/0 in six overs, while Rohit struggled to score freely at the other end. Punjab finally got the breakthrough in the seventh over when Omarzai dismissed Rickelton for 48 off just 23 balls, denying him a well-deserved half-century. Naman Dhir then played a short attacking cameo with two sixes before falling to Jansen for nine runs. Rohit, who found it difficult to accelerate, was eventually bowled by Yuzvendra Chahal after scoring 25 off 26 balls. After the two quick wickets, Tilak Varma took control of the chase. He played confidently under pressure, finding boundaries regularly and rotating the strike well alongside Sherfane Rutherford. The pair steadied the innings and slowly pushed Mumbai closer to the target. Varma shifted momentum completely with a massive 106-metre six off Chahal and followed it with another boundary in the same over. Rutherford also supported him well with a six before being dismissed by Omarzai for 20 off 21 balls in the 17th over. Despite losing his partner, Varma continued attacking the Punjab bowlers. He reached his half-century in just 25 balls and remained unbeaten on 75. His match-winning innings included six fours and six sixes. Will Jacks provided the finishing touch with a quick 25 off 10 balls as the Mumbai Indians successfully chased down the target in a thrilling contest. Asked to bat first, Punjab Kings began carefully with openers Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh taking time to settle on a pitch that offered some help to the bowlers. However, Priyansh soon attacked Jasprit Bumrah with a couple of boundaries, while Prabhsimran shifted gears in the fifth over by hitting three fours off Shardul Thakur. Mumbai got their first breakthrough in the final over of the powerplay when Deepak Chahar bowled Priyansh for 22 off 17 balls. Punjab ended the powerplay at 58/1. Punjabs leading scorer this season, Cooper Connolly, started cautiously, but Prabhsimran continued to dominate. The wicketkeeper-batter smashed two sixes in the 10th over and brought up his fifty in only 29 balls. He eventually scored 57 off 32 deliveries, hitting six fours and four sixes before being dismissed by Shardul. The Mumbai pacer then changed the game by clean bowling Punjab captain Shreyas Iyer in the same over. Connolly also failed to convert his start and was bowled by Raj Angad Bawa for 21. Punjab lost wickets quickly in the middle overs as Suryansh Shedge, Shashank Singh, and Marco Jansen departed in quick succession. Shardul completed an excellent spell of 4/39 by dismissing Shedge and Jansen. With Punjab under pressure, Omarzai launched a brilliant late assault. The Afghan all-rounder smashed four sixes in his quickfire 38 off just 17 balls and ensured Punjab crossed the 200-run mark. Towards the end, Vishnu Vinod added 15 runs while Xavier Bartlett remained unbeaten on 18 to give Punjab a strong finish.
