Heinrich Klaasen Praises Ishan Kishans Captaincy as SRH Eye Momentum in IPL 2026

Sunrisers Hyderabad big-hitting batter Heinrich Klaasen has lavished praise on skipper Ishan Kishan, calling him a superb captain and adding the way the side responds to the young wicketkeeper-batter has been just phenomenal, apart from his calmness in decision making and willingness to lean on experienced players in the set-up. Kishan was named as SRHs interim captain due to regular skipper Pat Cummins being unavailable for the initial part owing to his recovery from a lumbar stress issue. Under him, SRH have won one match while losing two games and are at fifth place on the points table. Look, I think he's been superb so far. He's a guy who does ask for advice. Like I said, we've got a lot of experience in the change room. So he leans on that as well. But his decision-making, the way he changes the bowlers, the way the team listens to him is just phenomenal so far. So like I said, we're in superb hands, and he's luckily not an arrogant guy at all, which makes it a lot easier. He's a really enjoyable captain to play under. So there's a lot of jokes in between to make it not so serious, because I think this environment can really be a tough environment to play under. I think he's been superb, and he had some success in the domestic scene as well. I think his domestic team won a competition (Jharkhand won Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy under his captaincy). So there's a lot of experience in that aspect. But so far, I really do enjoy his captaincy, and he's been incredible so far, said Klaasen, while replying to a query from IANS in the JioStar Press Room ahead of IPL 2026 Rivalry Week. Despite SRH losing two games this season, Klaasen said his own form 145 runs in three games, including two half-centuries - have given him personal satisfaction, particularly given his limited game time after retiring from international cricket and playing only franchise T20 leagues. Unfortunately, we've lost two games. But on a personal note, it's been a good start, especially because one of my biggest concerns is not playing as much cricket as I used to. Also, it's to see if I can still keep up with the standard that I set myself with. So, pretty good start for me, and hopefully this form will continue, he said. After playing against Punjab Kings in New Chandigarh, 2016 IPL champions SRH will play three games on the trot at their home venue against Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals. The clash against CSK, the five-time champions who are yet to get off the mark in the points table, will be of huge interest and Klaasen acknowledged the fixture carries added significance. Look, it's always fun playing against them, and knowing that our owners are also coming from Chennai, they do put an emphasis on that we need to win over them or beat them. So there will always be added pressure on that game, but it's still a good game. All the teams that you have to play in the IPL, you have to be at your best and put your best performance in the game. So hopefully we can get that little bit of momentum going into the next game and then face Chennai back home. The wicket hopefully will be a little bit better, and then if we can get one over them going into their home ground, I think we should be in a good position to take them down this season, he elaborated. Klaasen also talked about the tactical challenge of facing spinners from opposition teams who have clearly studied his game closely. The boundaries are not the biggest in the world. We're used to some big boundaries as well. But the wickets are fantastic. So, it's a nice place to come back in. But it's still a big challenge. I know they're coming for me and they know I'm coming for them. I see this season they've got a couple of game plans. So, I need to get back on to doing some good homework against them and finding new ways of scoring against them, he said. On the toughest spinner hes faced in his IPL career, Klaasen named senior leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal without any hesitation. It's an easy answer Yuzi Chahal. We've come a long way. We've had some great battles over the last couple of years, especially in my career. He's a quality bowler, a very clever bowler. I think we're about 50-50 on winning those battles. He's a good mate of mine as well, so it makes it even better just to fight against him on the pitch, he said. The hard-hitting batter signed off by calling the IPL the pinnacle competition in franchise T20 cricket. It's by far the toughest franchise cricket competition that there is. I feel sometimes it's tougher than international cricket. It also depends on who you play. But the standard of cricket and obviously the conditions play a big part of it. Every year you just see a new Indian player coming out that you never know about, and you just keep on producing the goods. So the talent that they've got, it just sets the standard so high. The hard-hitting batter signed off by calling the IPL the pinnacle competition in franchise T20 cricket. It's by far the toughest franchise cricket competition that there is.

Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinjkya Rahane said, We are going to bat first. Looks like a good wicket -- a little bit on the dry side. But looks like a very good wicket. Slightly less grass on the surface, which is why we want to bat first. It is all about having that belief and having that confidence. It is all about winning those small moments. You have to give your best, and if you find that right moment, give your best and have that belief. We will think about that. Two forced changes -- Varun Chakaravarthy got injured in the last game, and Sunil Narine is sick. Navdeep Saini is in for Chakaravarthy, and Rovman Powell is in for Narine. Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer said, I was supposed to bowl as well, so Im kind of happy with the decision he made. Blossomed during his time with Delhi Capitals, and hes someone who gives a lot of freedom and confidence to the youngsters in the team. Hes an inspiration in himself, having played outstanding cricket over the years, and weve always looked up to him as one of the best cricketers in the world. So, yeah, walking out alongside him is a phenomenal feeling.

IPL 2026: Harshit Rana Arrives In Kolkata, Set To Cheer For KKR In Their Clash Against PBKS

Jamieson Eyes New-ball Role In First Year With DC, Hails IPL As best Place To Grow

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: New Zealand fast bowler Kyle Jamieson is yet to get a chance to play for Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2026. But the tall pacer stated that when the call to play comes for him, he anticipates taking new ball bowling duties, though he admitted to his role yet to be formally defined by the team think tank. After featuring for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the 2021 IPL, Jamieson returned to playing the tournament as an injury replacement for Lockie Ferguson at Punjab Kings. At the back end of the competition, Jamieson picked up five wickets in four matches at an economy rate of 9.8, including picking a three-fer in the final against RCB. Not really just because I haven't been in the team for those first couple of games, so you don't really have too much of an idea around where you're going to slot in. I think that probably comes once you're sort of - if you're fit into an 11 or 12 - you sort of work out, I guess, the mix of your players and bowlers at that point of time. So nothing really around role clarity. I mean, I'd expect that it'd be the new ball stuff, but equally being flexible as probably every bowler is nowadays. You've got to be flexible across the whole innings. So, nothing sort of set in stone as of yet, but if I do get a chance to play, then I'm sure that'll come, said Jamieson, while replying to a question from IANS in a virtual roundtable chat ahead of the side taking on Gujarat Titans on Wednesday. DC have won two out of two games so far, and Jamieson has found Axar Patel to be an impressive skipper who has managed the bowlers well and kept things calm, apart from not minding to have a laugh. All of this has kept the team atmosphere light and joyful, with the playing group finding themselves in a good space, especially with in-form young batter Sameer Rizvi being impressive in taking the side home twice in tricky run chases. When asked about DC pacer Mukesh Kumar's post-match remark after the six-wicket win over Mumbai Indians on him drawing inspiration from Josh Hazlewood consistently hitting Test match-like lengths - Jamieson endorsed that thinking wholeheartedly. I think what Mukesh alluded to, like that simplicity piece is what we're all striving for, right? Like, you've all got your strengths and stuff and you're trying to stick to that. I think that's something that, obviously, Hazlewood's done well for a long period of time now, and Mukesh did it brilliantly in the last game, is how can you have that strength and that resolve to just hold firm? I think, when guys are hitting you for boundaries, it's very easy to get sort of under pressure and trying to change and think you have to do something different. It's almost a bit of a strength of character thing to be like, Nah, I'm just going to hold there. I know that's my strength. I know that gives me the best chance of getting guys out and then trying to hold through the powerplay. It's not going to work every game. I think when the wickets are really good, guys can get away. But I think it's a real key sort of thing to try and hold it firmly on, he elaborated. For Jamieson, whos coming after playing all five T20Is for New Zealand against South Africa, the broader motivation for being part of IPL goes well beyond the immediate question of selection or role. Instead, he views the tournament as an unmatched arena for self-improvement - one where the pressure is relentless and the rewards, in terms of growth, are equally huge. In terms of the IPL now, for me, I think it's like the premier tournament in the world, right? So you always want to be a part of that. You learn so much. I think even having played a fair bit of cricket now, you're constantly trying to learn and grow. For Jamieson, whos coming after playing all five T20Is for New Zealand against South Africa, the broader motivation for being part of IPL goes well beyond the immediate question of selection or role. Instead, he views the tournament as an unmatched arena for self-improvement - one where the pressure is relentless and the rewards, in terms of growth, are equally huge. Also Read: Live Cricket Score But, like I said, I think just for me, it's the best place to grow and to become a better cricketer and to challenge yourself. For us as athletes, that's what you want to do - you want to put yourself in the arena where it's the hardest and see whether you can cope with it, he concluded. Article Source: IANS
