IPL 2026: Salt, Patidar Fifties, Fine Bowling Power RCB To 18-run Win Over MI (Ld)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Brilliant, blazing half-centuries by Phil Salt (78) and Rajat Patidar (53), followed by some fine restrictive bowling, helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) hand five-time champions Mumbai Indians an 18-run defeat in Match 20 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. Salt and Patidar put up a sensational display of power-hitting as they rained sixes on their way to half-centuries, and with Virat Kohli contributing a sedate 50, RCB posted a challenging 240/4 in their 20 overs. Mumbai Indians' ambitious chase of a record-high target at Wankhede fizzled out after former skipper Rohit Sharma suffered a hamstring injury and had to retire hurt for 19 off 13 balls. Sherfane Rutherford hammered an unbeaten 71 off 31 balls, smashing nine sixes towards the fag end of the match after Hardik Pandya (40) and Ryan Rickelton (37) raised the hopes a bit at the start. Mumbai Indians eventually finished with 222/5 in 20 overs, falling short by 18 runs to slump to their third defeat in a row. RCB won their third game in four matches, moving up to six points and the third spot in the points table, behind Rajasthan Royals (8) and Punjab Kings (7). It was a strange match, as it dragged on and on, with players walking off with injuries after seeking lengthy breaks for treatment on the ground, and both teams going for review for no-balls and wides, thus prolonging the proceedings, which became tedious towards the end. The Mumbai Indians started their chase of 241 on a bright note with Ryan Rickelton, who started with a six off Jacob Duffy in the opening over, and Rohit Sharma raising 50 runs for the team in the fifth over. The five-time champions reached 62 for no loss in the six overs of Power-play, but the dugout was not that happy as former captain Rohit Sharma had to retire hurt because of a hamstring injury, for which he received treatment on the ground. He was batting on 19 in the sixth over when he decided to return to the dugout and receive more treatment. Rickelton struck Duffy for four and six and swung the seasoned Bhuvneshwar Kumar for a six over the long-leg fence. He was the first to go when he took a wild swing at a Suyash Sharma googly, only to top-edge it to Bhuvneshwar at short third. Rickelton was out for 37 off 22 balls, hitting three fours and as many sixes. Tilak Varma (1) survived only three balls before he attempted a sweep off Suyash Sharma, only to spoon a simple catch to Duffy. The double strike by the leg-spinner virtually derailed the Mumbai Indians' chase. Suryakumar Yadav, who started with a four off Impact player Rasikh Salam on the second ball he faced, struck Krunal Pandya for a four and took back-to-back boundaries off Suyash Sharma in the 10th over as Mumbai reached 99/2 at the halfway stage, lagging a bit behind RCB, who were 115 for no loss at the same stage. But SKY could not produce a match-defining long innings as he scored 33 off 22 balls before swiping it straight down to Rasikh Salam at backward square leg. Hardik Pandya hammered a six off the first ball from Suyash Sharma and a four a few balls later. A couple of boundaries off Bhuvneshwar Kumar's 11th over, followed by a couple of fours off Suyash, kept Mumbai's hopes alive. But the Mumbai Indians' chase lacked confidence after Rohit walked off injured, and Hardik's heroics too did not last long as he miscued Duffy to Romario Shepherd 41 as MI slumped to 145/4 in the 15th over, leaving Mumbai needing 93 from the last five overs. Rutherford then carried on the fight, reaching his half-century in 26 balls as he remained unbeaten on 71 off 36 balls, hitting one four and nine mighty sixes. Earlier, asked to bat first, Phil Salt came out with guns blazing as he and Virat Kohli raised 100 runs for the opening wicket stand. They scored 13 runs off Trent Boult's opening over, with Kohli blasting him for a six and Salt for a four. After steady scores off Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Boult, Phil Salt welcomed Mitchell Santner by hammering a hat-trick of sixes (first a heave over deep square leg, the next clubbed over wide long-on, and third smashed over deep square leg), followed by a four off his first four deliveries of the match, blasting 22 runs from the over. While Kohli scored at a sedate pace, Salt continued to operate in the third gear, hitting Mayank Markande for a hat-trick of boundaries as he raced to his fifty in 25 balls. A six to celebrate his fifty off Markande in the eighth over meant Salt motored to 61 off just 27 balls. He eventually fell to Shardul Thakur in the 11th over, hitting an easy catch straight to Pandya at extra cover. Salt scored 78 off 36 balls, blasting half a dozen fours and sixes on the way. But there was no respite for the Mumbai Indians as Rajat Patidar took over the role of power-hitter. Starting with a four off Thakur, Patidar smashed a hat-trick of sixes off Markande in the 12th over. He smashed a six and a couple of fours off Thakur as they scored 23 runs off the 13th over and struck a four and six off Boult in the 1th over as he threatened to smash the record for the fastest fifty in IPL history, reaching 44 off 11 balls. Meanwhile, Kohli struggled to a sluggish fifty off 37 balls before Patidar blazed to his half-century from 16 balls, with a streaky four off Santner. Both Kohli and Patidar fell soon after completing their fifties, as the Mumbai Indians applied the brakes as the RCB fell from 185/1 to 194/3 within eight balls. Kohli ended his misery by holing out to Suryakumar Yadav at long-on off Pandya for 50 (38 balls, 5x4, 1x6) while Patidar fell to Santner, attempting to shank him over long-on but miscuing it to Tilak Varma. Patidar hammered four boundaries and five maximums in his 20-ball 53. Things went a bit quiet after that, though Tim David blasted Pandya for a six off a free hit and helped them score fifty runs in the last five overs. David remained unbeaten on 34 off 16 balls, reached with a six off the last ball bowled by Boult, as RCB, who were threatening to go beyond 250 after reaching 115/0 at the halfway mark and 201/3 in 17. Kohli ended his misery by holing out to Suryakumar Yadav at long-on off Pandya for 50 (38 balls, 5x4, 1x6) while Patidar fell to Santner, attempting to shank him over long-on but miscuing it to Tilak Varma.

IPL 2026: Rutherford's Unbeaten 71 In Vain As RCB Beat MI By 18 Runs
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Superb all-round bowling by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru strangled Mumbai Indians' hopes of successfully mounting the highest-ever chase at the Wankhede, as the visitors romped to an 18-run victory in Match 20 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Sunday. RCB rode on brilliant, blazing half-centuries by Phil Salt (78) and Rajat Patidar (53) and a sedate fifty by Virat Kohli to post 240/4 in 20 overs. Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma came up with some fine efforts with the ball on a pitch that offered little assistance and capitalised on the scoreboard pressure to restrict the Mumbai Indians to 222/5. Sherfane Rutherford's valiant 31-ball 71 and his 68-run partnership with Mitchell Santner (8) went in vain as the Mumbai Indians slumped to their third successive defeat. But the bigger concern for the five-time champions would be the hamstring injury suffered by former champion and opener Rohit Sharma, who had to walk off retired hurt in the sixth over. RCB won their third game in four matches and moved up to six points and the third spot in the points table behind Rajasthan Royals (8) and Punjab Kings (7). The Mumbai Indians started their chase of 241 on a bright note with Ryan Rickelton, who started with a six off Jacob Duffy in the opening over, and Rohit Sharma raising 50 runs for the team in the fifth over.

RCB pulled things back in the middle overs with Krunal Pandya strangling the batters for 1-26 in his quota, while Suyash Sharma bagged 2-47 from his four overs. From 72/1 in the eighth over, the Mumbai Indians slumped to 147/4 with Rohit retired hurt, their hopes tottering towards an eventual demise. Rutherford struck Rasik Salam for a superb six in the 16th over as he kept the fight going. Namn Dhir (1) holed out to Patidar off Salam to make it 154/5. It was a dramatic and lengthy 16th over as Rasik Salam twice went down with cramps and had to take treatment before finally walking off with a ball remaining to be bowled. Romario Shepherd caught Sherfane Rutherford off a no-ball before the drama ended eventually. With the Mumbai Indians needing an improbable-looking 84 for 24 balls, the hosts eventually finished in their 20 overs with 222/5 on the board -- 18 short of the target.

Gaikwad Will Feel At Ease With Two Points On The Board For CSK: Faf Du Plessis
Former South Africa: Former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis believes that skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad will feel at ease after leading Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to a 23-run win over Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026, a victory which he feels will go a long way in giving them the confidence for bringing their campaign on track. Sanju Samsons scintillating unbeaten 115 powered CSK to post a massive 212/2. He also shared a 113-run stand with youngster Ayush Mhatre, who slammed 59 off 36 deliveries. Overton picked 4-18, the best figures of the season so far, and used hard lengths well to stifle the DC middle order, as they were eventually bowled out for 189. I think Ruturaj Gaikwads captaincy has been very good. Even in the previous games, there were no tactical blunders or errors from his side that are keeping CSK back. For him individually, to get that confidence going, this win will go a long way. This will reflect in his batting as well. As a captain, sometimes you get burdened by the results and what is happening around you. Ruturaj will feel at ease now that he has put two points on the board for CSK. That confidence will show in his batting when he bats next, said du Plessis on Star Sports. While discussing the broader tournament landscape, du Plessis also identified the Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab Kings as a major threat, labelling them among the itle favourites due to their batting depth, though he admitted to some concerns present over their bowling resources. PBKS batters are doing really well and that is helping them in the IPL once again. Last season, all their batters played a crucial role in helping them reach the final. This season, their batting unit is delivering again.

IPL 2026: RCB Have The Form, But MI Are Ahead In Man-to-man Comparison, Says Pathan
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India left-arm pacer Irfan Pathan believes that while defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) carry momentum into their high-stakes IPL 2026 clash with Mumbai Indians (MI), the latter holds a marginal edge in terms of individual personnel. Both sides are respectively coming off a mauling at the hands of the Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati. RCB are travelling now. When they played their first two games at home, they won comfortably, but the moment they went on the road, they lost in Guwahati against Rajasthan Royals. So, there will be a few questions in the camp. I feel the game might be decided by which team bowls better in the end overs, and the toss will be an important factor too. RCB have the form, but in a man-to-man comparison, I feel Mumbai are slightly ahead, said Pathan on JioHotstar, as the competition begins its 'Rivalry Week'. Reflecting on Saturday's clash between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), which the former won by six wickets, Pathan highlighted Shashank Singhs unexpected bowling spell as the decisive factor that prevented the latter from posting a massive total. It was a game-changing moment. If not for those two wickets, which Shashank got both in the same over, Sunrisers would have made 250 easily. That was the kind of start Abhishek and Travis Head gave them; they lost their first wicket at 120, he observed.

The first game of this weekend's IPL 2026 matches saw some terrific power-hitting from Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings
New International Cricket Stadium: Punjab Kings opener Prabhsimran Singh credited his teams mental strength for handling the pressure of a high-scoring game as they remained unbeaten in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 with a comfortable victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad at the New International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh. Punjab Kings (PBKS) maintained their perfect start to the season with a thrilling six-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). After winning the toss and electing to bowl first, the Kings faced an aggressive Hyderabad side that reached 120/0 in just eight overs. However, a brilliant comeback from the bowling unit restricted SRH to 219/6. In response, Punjabs batters showcased their dominance once again, with openers Priyansh Arya (57 off 20) and Prabhsimran Singh (51 off 25) providing a lightning start. Captain Shreyas Iyer then led from the front with a masterclass in finishing, scoring a match-winning, unbeaten 69 off just 33 balls to steer the team to 223/4 in 18.5 overs. Speaking after the victory, Prabhsimran Singh credited the teams mental strength for handling the high-scoring game and said the win highlighted the team's resilience and ability to stay calm under pressure. When you are going for a very big chase, you have to cash in on the powerplay. At one point, it felt like they could score 250 or even more, but our bowlers made a very good comeback. We have chased successfully in all three matches now, and the quicker we adapt to the conditions, the better cricket we will play, Prabhsimran said. He also praised the chemistry within the batting unit. Priyansh is batting very well, and we enjoy playing together. Having clarity from the captain and coach is very important; we motivate each other a lot, and that shows on the field during these big chases, he added. A decisive moment in the match came when the captain introduced Shashank Singh into the attack. In a tactical masterstroke, Shashank (2/20) dismissed both Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head in the same over, effectively stalling SRH's momentum. Our captain brought Shashank into the attack because he has gotten Abhishek out before. Getting him and Head out in the same over brought us right back into the game. It was a great strategy that worked perfectly for us today, Prabhsimran explained. A decisive moment in the match came when the captain introduced Shashank Singh into the attack.

Sale deed allowed but developer to face action if project breaches environmental norms: PCCB
Patiala, Apr 11: To ensure only the developer faces action if a project breaches environmental norms, the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) has allowed registration of sale deeds for homebuyers of affected projects, enabling them to avail electricity connections and other services. However, strict action will continue against erring developers, including legal action and denial of fresh approvals, until they comply with the norms. The PPCB has revised its policy following public complaints and recommendations of a committee formed in March 2026, according to officials. In an order dated April 9, the board said restricting sale deeds in such projects was affecting people in need of housing. Under the new directions, execution of sale deeds and release of electricity connections for individual buyers have been allowed. The board said that restrictions on sale deeds and services in projects violating pollution norms had caused hardship to people who had invested their savings without knowing about such violations. Access to electricity is a basic necessity linked to the Right to Life under Article 21 of the Constitution, it said. Innocent homebuyers should not suffer for the violations that they did not commit, and the decision aims to balance people's rights with environmental enforcement, PPCB Chairperson Reena Gupta said. The move is expected to provide relief for thousands of homebuyers across the state.

He took time to settle before accelerating at the right moment to keep the chase on track. We got a phenomenal start. It was magnificent to watch, it was proper cricketing shots, he said. Despite the strong platform, Iyer acknowledged that the conditions were not easy and required composure. It wasn't easy. I had to give myself some time, and thankfully it worked out, he added. PBKS briefly lost momentum in the middle overs, but Iyer stitched a crucial partnership with Nehal Wadhera before finishing the chase alongside Shashank Singh. The team eventually reached the target with seven balls to spare.

PCA New International Cricket Stadium: Punjab Kings (PBKS) assistant coach Brad Haddin said the team is yet to play its best cricket despite registering a convincing six-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 17th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the PCA New International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh on Sunday. Yeah, I think the pleasing thing at the moment is that we probably haven't played our best game. We haven't put everything together. We're getting the results we're after. As the tournament goes on, you want to be playing your best cricket, Haddin said to the broadcasters after the match. Punjab Kings chased down a massive target of 220 in just 18.5 overs, thanks to explosive starts from Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh, followed by a composed unbeaten innings from captain Shreyas Iyer. The match saw both teams dominate the Power-play with aggressive batting, making it a high-scoring contest from the start. Well, I'm glad I'm not a bowler in the first six overs. That's for sure. I'd say everyone got their money's worth tonight. It was entertainment, Haddin noted. However, he pointed out that the game shifted during the middle overs, where PBKS managed to regain control. I think the one thing we did really well after those first six overs was that we stayed calm, and we got the game back, a little bit of momentum back in those middle overs. And having a look at both sides, the way they played in those middle overs, that's where it was won. Earlier, Sunrisers Hyderabad had posted 219 after a strong start from Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, who took the team past the 100-run mark inside the powerplay. But PBKS bowlers pulled things back by picking key wickets in the middle phase. Haddin credited the teams calm approach and clarity in pressure situations. That's exactly what Ricky spoke to the players about. They know their plans and just need to stay calm. You might be moving your feet quickly on the inside, and things might be bubbling up, but just stay calm, you know your plans, just execute those. And if you get one chance, then we jump on the game and try to pull it back, which we did in those middle overs, he said.

No, we're going with the same team, He added. After losing the toss, Ishan Kishan said, We would have loved to bowl first. But yeah, I think wicket looks pretty hard to me. And it's about playing good cricket in the first innings. Obviously, it's a big disadvantage for any team. Pat is a tremendous bowler. He gets on with an experience of his. But still, I feel we've got a young side, young bowlers today in the team. Hopefully, we'll just try and execute the plans, which is the most important thing in T20 cricket. Yeah, there are two changes. Salil comes in in place of Livingstone and Praful Hinge; it's his debut game, in place of Jaydev Unadkat, he added.

IPL 2026 Rivalry Week Set to Ignite with Blockbuster Clashes Featuring MI, RCB, CSK, KKR and More
The 2026 edition of theIPL is heating up, with teams gradually settling on their best XIs and gaining a better understanding of their home conditions as the tournament progresses. Two weeks in, Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Punjab Kings, and Delhi Capitals look the most settled in terms of balance, squad depth, and players delivering consistently. Now, with Rivalry Week on JioStar around the corner, some of the most celebrated teams are set to lock horns in iconic contests that could define the tone for a blockbuster second half of the season. Here are five reasons why Rivalry Week promises unmissable action for fans. Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru (April 12) There could not be a bigger fixture to kick off Rivalry Week. Two of Indias modern icons, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, now seen in just one format in India colours, go head-to-head once again. The last time MI faced RCB, both were still active Test cricketers. Add to that the subplot and battle of the Pandya brothers, Hardik vs Krunal, and it only elevates the contest. Another interesting match-up is the battle of the GOATs, with Kohli facing the guile and firepower of Jasprit Bumrah. While MI lead the overall head-to-head 1915, RCB have had the upper hand in recent meetings and, on current form, the defending champions will be keen to make it three wins in the last four against a star-studded MI line-up. Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders (April 14) A rivalry shaped by title-denying moments, KKR halted CSKs bid for a hat-trick in 2012, while CSK returned the favour in 2021. In recent years, this fixture has also been defined by the crossover of personnel, with former CSK players like Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali, and others representing KKR, alongside familiar faces in the support staff like Dwayne Bravo and Shane Watson. CSK won all three contests in 2021, but since IPL 2022, the head-to-head stands evenly poised at 33, with both teams sharing the spoils. With both of them currently near the bottom of the table, this clash is not just about points, but also about gaining the upper hand in an evenly matched rivalry in recent years. Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings (April 16) This fixture is often remembered for the iconic double Super Over clash in the 2020 edition. There have been several notable overlaps between the two sides over the years, from Yuvraj Singh and Shikhar Dhawan to Axar Patel, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik and more recently Nehal Wadhera. One name that adds an interesting layer is Shreyas Iyer, a Mumbaikar, closely tied to both Mumbai as a city and PBKS as a side. While he has never represented MI in the TATA IPL, his impact for PBKS last season was significant, playing a key role in knocking out the five-time champions. With the head-to-head evenly poised at 17-17, this clash on April 16 promises another gripping chapter. Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals (April 18) From growing up as a West Delhi boy to now becoming the face of RCB, this fixture evolved into a rivalry with Virat Kohli at the heart of it for his connections between both cities. But last season added a new layer: KL Rahul with that Kantara celebration, marking his territory at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, injected fresh intensity into the rivalry. Both teams have consistently featured in the top half of the table in recent years, leading to closely fought contests. RCB hold a 20-12 head-to-head advantage, but with the clash being in Bengaluru first up, Rahul will once again be under the spotlight. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings (April 18) Also Read: Live Cricket Score This Southern Rivalry traces back to the 2018 final, where CSK outclassed SRH to lift the title. However, in recent seasons, the tide seems to have turned. While CSK are navigating a transition phase, SRH have emerged as one of the most explosive sides, powered by a fearless batting unit. CSK still hold a commanding 157 head-to-head advantage, but SRH have won the last two encounters. Over the last four seasons, its a deadlock at three wins and three losses against each other. On current form, CSK will need to raise their game to counter SRHs high-powered batting, especially on a typically flat Hyderabad surface.

IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch CSK Vs DC, Know All Details
Chennai Super Kings: Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will clash with Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 18 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 to be played at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday as they look to end the quest for their first win in this season. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have had a poor start to their campaign this season, with the five-time champions still searching for their first win after losing all three matches so far. Their run began with a defeat to the Rajasthan Royals, followed by another setback against the Punjab Kings. In their latest outing, they were comfortably beaten by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). With pressure mounting, CSK will be eager to bounce back and finally get off the mark in front of their home fans. In contrast, the Delhi Capitals have looked like a composed and well-rounded side in IPL 2026. They kicked off their season with back-to-back victories over Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians, impressing with both their strong batting lineup and disciplined bowling attack. However, their winning momentum was halted in their previous match, where they fell agonisingly short, losing by just one run to the Gujarat Titans. The head-to-head record between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals in T20 matches shows a clear edge for CSK. Out of 31 matches played between the two sides, Chennai Super Kings have won 19, while Delhi Capitals have secured 12 victories. There have been no tied matches or no results in their encounters. The rivalry began on May 2, 2008, with Delhi Capitals winning the first-ever fixture, and in their most recent meeting on April 5, 2025, Delhi Capitals emerged victorious.
