'One Of The Greatest Comebacks In IPL History': Banger Backs KKR's Playoffs Charge
Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar believes Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are on course to script one of the greatest comebacks in IPL history after the three-time champions reignited their playoff hopes with a stunning turnaround in IPL 2026. After struggling in the early half of the season and staying near the bottom of the points table, KKR have bounced back strongly with four consecutive victories to emerge as serious contenders for a top-four finish. KKR have won four matches in a row. Their team balance is looking solid. The spin attack has regained its bite, and the batting unit is firing consistently. They are peaking at the right time, which is what matters most in a long tournament, Bangar told Jio Hotstar. Teams that build momentum towards the business end often go deep into the playoffs. KKR are in a very good space right now. Thats why their playoff probability has gone up significantly, he added. Bangar further stated that Kolkatas remaining fixtures could define one of the most memorable turnarounds seen in the league. If they win their remaining four games, they will pull off one of the greatest comebacks in IPL history. From the bottom of the table to the top four, that would be a remarkable turnaround. It will take a special effort, but with the form they are in, it looks possible, he said. Bangar also reflected on the shifting dynamics of the playoff race following Punjab Kings defeat to Delhi Capitals, saying the result has complicated Punjabs hopes of securing a top-two finish. If they win their remaining four games, they will pull off one of the greatest comebacks in IPL history. From the bottom of the table to the top four, that would be a remarkable turnaround.

'Not Using Chahal Was A Big Mistake': Bangar On PBKS Loss
New Delhi: Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar believes Punjab Kings (PBKS) made a crucial tactical error by not using leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal during Delhi Capitals successful chase of 211 in their IPL 2026 clash at Dharamsala. The defeat also marked Punjabs fourth consecutive loss after starting the season strongly with six wins. Reacting on the result, the former Indian cricketer was particularly critical of skipper Shreyas Iyers decision not to hand the ball to Chahal even once during the innings, despite the leg-spinners reputation as a wicket-taker in pressure situations. I felt Shreyas Iyer made a tactical error by not using Yuzvendra Chahal. He should have bowled in the middle overs. Chahal is a proven match-winner with the ability to break partnerships. Not giving him the ball was a big mistake. Bangar told Jio Hotstar. Bangar pointed to the moment after the ball was changed late in the innings as the ideal opportunity to introduce spin and challenge the set batters. He should have bowled at least one over, especially after the ball was changed at the end of the 13th over. That was the ideal time to introduce spin and create pressure. Small mistakes here and there cost Punjab the game, he added. Bangar felt that Punjab failed to capitalise on a winning position and the bowlers lacked control during the latter stages of the innings, while the heavy dew further complicated their plans. Punjab Kings started the season strongly with six wins, but four straight losses since have hurt their confidence. This match against Delhi was there for the taking. They were in a winning position, but let it slip, Bangar said Their bowling attack lacked discipline, and the dew made it even harder to execute their plans. That allowed Delhis batters to take charge, he added. Punjab Kings started the season strongly with six wins, but four straight losses since have hurt their confidence.

Its About Personal Pride And Wanting To Close Out Games: Miller After DCs Record Chase
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Delhi Capitals (DC) batter David Miller said personal pride and experience helped him remain calm during high-pressure situations as DC pulled off a record run chase against Punjab Kings (PBKS) to keep their IPL 2026 playoff hopes alive. Delhi Capitals chased down 211 with three wickets in hand at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium on Monday, registering the highest successful IPL chase in the stadium's history. Miller played a pivotal role in the victory with a crucial 51-run knock after DC were left reeling at 14/2 and later 38/3 in the massive chase. Captain Axar Patel led the recovery with a blazing 56, while debutant Madhav Tiwaris fearless 18 off eight balls helped seal the contest late in the innings. Speaking after the match, Miller said the motivation to finish games strongly comes from personal standards regardless of the opposition. I think it goes beyond that. Its more just personal pride and in wanting to close out games, whichever team I play for, Miller said in a video released by IPL on X. Yeah, obviously a good feeling to do it against them. Obviously disappointed to get out when I did, but I think Axar played so, so well. The South African batter admitted Delhi had struggled for consistency this season and said the victory was important for restoring momentum. And weve obviously struggled to get a couple of wins here and there. And its nice to get another win on the belt and play for some pride and get back on winning ways. So yeah, its a good win, he said. I think thats what, I suppose, experience comes in, you know, when youre sort of a tough moment, you always look back on past experiences that youve achieved and accomplished. So it gives you confidence in that situation. And obviously Ive played quite a lot, so I had a couple of good knocks every now and again, and it was nice to fall back on that, he added. Miller reserved special praise for IPL debutant Madhav Tiwari, whose late cameo shifted the momentum decisively in Delhis favour. Tiwari struck boundaries at crucial moments and combined with Ashutosh Sharma to collect 19 runs in the 18th over before DC completed the chase with six balls remaining. The young all-rounder also took two crucial wickets. Miller reserved special praise for IPL debutant Madhav Tiwari, whose late cameo shifted the momentum decisively in Delhis favour.

'You Have Got To Bowl Him In Middle Overs': Mukund On Chahal's Snub
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Former India batter Abhinav Mukund believes Punjab Kings (PBKS) missed a tactical opportunity by not introducing Yuzvendra Chahal during the middle overs in their defeat to Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026. Punjab Kings failed to defend 210 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium on Monday as Delhi Capitals scripted the highest successful IPL chase in Dharamsala history, winning by three wickets with six balls remaining. One of the biggest talking points from the contest was Punjabs decision not to bowl a single over of spin, despite having experienced leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal in the side. Speaking on ESPNcricinfos Time Out Show, Mukund said Chahal ideally should have been used during the middle phase when Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs were rebuilding the innings. Youve got to bowl him in overs 7 to 15, and in conditions like this, when youve got Miller and Axar going, its very difficult for a captain to hand him the ball. If he had to do that, he had to do it in the seventh over when Axar and Stubbs were there, Mukund said. Mukund added that even if Chahal had been expensive initially, Punjab were in a strong enough position on the scoreboard to take that risk in search of wickets. But then again, I wouldve personally got out at least an over of Chahal to just see what was happening, he said. To just see because when you had the scoreboard pressure, and you had the luxury of giving away even 18 or 20 runs, if need be, at that point, but try and take the gamble to pick up a wicket. Mukund felt the ideal window to test spin was between overs seven and ten before Delhis experienced finishers took complete control of the chase.

'We Didnt Execute The Skills Needed In Last 5 Overs', Admits PBKS Spin Bowling Coach Bahutule
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Punjab Kings spin-bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule admitted his side failed to execute properly in the final overs and paid the price for dropped catches as Delhi Capitals pulled off a record chase to stay alive in the IPL 2026 playoff race. Capitals chased down 211 with three wickets in hand against PBKS at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium on Monday. Despite reducing DC to 14/2 and later 38/3, PBKS were unable to close out the match as captain Axar Patel smashed 56, David Miller struck 51, and debutant Madhav Tiwari played a decisive cameo of 18 off eight balls to guide the visitors to 216/7. Reflecting on the defeat, Bahutule admitted that his side had the game under control before losing momentum in the death overs, Ive said this before, also, there are going to be lots of ups and downs. There are going to be times where youve almost won the game, and you lose, we almost had the game with us, but we didnt execute the skills needed in the last five overs. So all we need to do is just keep this aside and move ahead and play the next three games to the best of our ability, Bahutule said at the post-match press conference. PBKS' fielding lapses also proved costly during DC's recovery. Arshdeep Singh dropped Tristan Stubbs at long-on, while another chance offered by Axar Patel went down at deep square leg. Bahutule admitted those missed opportunities hurt the team badly. If we had caught two catches, I dont think they would have maybe reached the target, but it would have been very difficult for them and maybe won the game by 20 runs, he said. The contest also marked the first time in IPL history that neither team used a spinner during an innings, with both captains relying entirely on pace on a seaming Dharamsala surface. Explaining the reason behind the move, Bahutule said that the surface consistently favoured fast bowling throughout the innings, and it was wise to use the pacers.

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 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: Mitchell Starc Registers Most Expensive Over Of His T20 Career Against PBKS
Indian Premier League: Mitchell Starc had the most expensive first over of his T20 career during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala on Thursday. Starc, known for his strong record with the new ball in all formats, started poorly after Delhi Capitals won the toss and chose to bowl first. Punjab Kings openers Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh went on the attack right from the start, putting the Australian pacer under immediate pressure. Arya hit a six over cover point on the very first ball. Although Starc managed to bowl two dot balls, he also gave away five wides. Prabhsimran then hit a six and a boundary. The over ended with 22 runs, making it the most expensive first over Starc has bowled in a T20 match. Before this game, the highest number of runs Starc had given up in the opening over of a T20 was 15 while playing for Kolkata Knight Riders against Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024. He also had 14-run opening overs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Punjab Kings in 2015 and for the Australian national team against New Zealand and West Indies in 2022.

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.

Though Glenn Maxwell: Though Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis and Steve Smith have been left out of Australias T20I series in Bangladesh, chief selector George Bailey has insisted the trio have not been dropped and remain in contention for future assignments in the shortest format. The trio, along with Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, were notable absentees from the 16member squad announced for the threematch T20I series to be played in Dhaka on June 17, 19 and 21. Cummins and Hazlewood have been rested with a heavy Test calendar in mind, while Maxwell, Stoinis and Smith were omitted as selectors opted to assess other options following Australias disappointing Mens T20 World Cup campaign earlier this year. It's not the end of the road. I wouldn't call it dropped per se, but I understand that they're not within the squad. But certainly, just given where we are in the cycle of T20s and on the back of our World Cup result, it's a good opportunity, I think, to have a look at some different players. I'm not taking away the fact that every time that we take a team or squad away, the expectation and our expectation is that we will win and those players will perform. So it's a really important period of time, I think, for that T20 group to actually start to develop some different players in different roles across that. But that's not to say that it might be the last we've seen of those three, Bailey told reporters on Monday. Maxwell, 37, has struggled for runs in recent T20Is, while Stoinis remains active on the franchise circuit and has impressed in IPL 2026 for Punjab Kings. Smith, who turns 37 next month, has previously expressed his desire to represent Australia at the 2028 LA Olympics and continues to feature prominently in franchise leagues, including the PSL and upcoming MLC. A standout PSL campaign has paved the way for Aaron Hardies return to the T20I side, while spinbowling allrounder Joel Davies is set for his maiden international series for Australia. I think there's a high degree of talent there (in Davies). Starting to see the fruits of that in some white-ball performances for New South Wales and through the Big Bash this year. He's a left-arm spinner as well and we've spoken at length about the importance of that and development of that throughout the country and hopefully we get to see a little bit of that as well, added Bailey. Bailey, Australias former white-ball captain, has brushed aside concerns that leading Australian players could reject national contracts, though he acknowledged that the growing lure of franchise cricket has created some tension. I've seen a few reports on it and I actually think that's pretty normal for this time of year. One of the things that's important to understand is that we offer our contracts up at the end of April. The key reason for that is to unlock the state contracting process and allow states to go forward with certainty, knowing who they have on national contracts and then what space that allows for their state players. Bailey, Australias former white-ball captain, has brushed aside concerns that leading Australian players could reject national contracts, though he acknowledged that the growing lure of franchise cricket has created some tension.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: India legend Sunil Gavaskar has picked Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru as the finalists for the IPL 2026 season after the Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants were eliminated from the race to the playoffs. RCB orchestrated one of the most astonishing victories in tournament history, edging past MI by two wickets in a chaotic last-ball thriller. Having suffered their eighth loss in 11 games, MI hopes of qualifying for the playoffs have been dashed. Meanwhile, RCB have moved to the top spot on the table with their seventh win in 11 games. On the other hand, PBKS, who had a blazing start to the season that saw them go unbeaten through their first seven games, now find themselves searching for a response following three consecutive defeats. Yet, with 13 points already on the board, PBKS remain firmly in the race, as they are currently sitting fourth in the standings. I would still back Punjab Kings.
