IPL 2026: KKR And PBKS Share A Point As Rain Washes Out Match
The Kolkata Knight Riders: The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) shared a point each as the 12th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 was called off due to rain at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday. The match was just into the fourth over when rain poured down at the ground. The drizzle intensified, forcing the umpires to take the players off the field as covers were swiftly brought on. The ground staff acted quickly, laying out sheets across the pitch, square and run-ups, and within moments, the entire playing area was covered. The covers remained firmly placed, and the revised timing for the inspection was set for 8:45 PM IST, but eventually it was called off due to rain. The point was shared between the teams as PBKS continue to reign on top with KKR slipping to eighth position. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) would have welcomed the break, having been in deep trouble at 25/2 after losing two key overseas batters early. Punjab Kings, on the other hand, would have been frustrated by the interruption, having dominated proceedings and keen to maintain the pressure. Xavier Bartlett gave a perfect start to PBKS with a quick inside the powerplay. KKRs troubles deepened early as Bartlett struck twice in quick succession with relentless precision. First, Allen fell in a similar fashion, attempting to go big but only managing a thick outside edge. With Bartlett hitting the same spot consistently. Moments later, Cameron Greens lean patch continued as he edged a probing delivery to the keeper for just 4, unable to resist the temptation outside off. KKR found themselves two down in no time and under serious pressure. KKRs troubles deepened early as Bartlett struck twice in quick succession with relentless precision.

It has been a tough wicket to bowl for any team. The boundaries are not big enough to contain the batting side, and the outfield is also pretty flat.

Chennai Super Kings: Vijaykumar Vyshak does not think about the batter at the other end when his time to bowl in the back end of an innings comes. He does not think about the scoreboard, crowd, or whether the last ball went for a boundary. Instead, the Punjab Kings fast bowler thinks only about execution and that is precisely what makes him a dangerous bowler in the death overs. Vyshak has taken five wickets in two matches this season for PBKS, surpassing the four scalps he managed last year, and has relied on wide yorkers and slower bouncers to get his wickets against Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. Ahead of the clash against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens, Vyshak laid out the mindset that has made him one of the more reliable pace options at a time where totals of 200-plus have become almost routine. Honestly, I mean, it's all about how I feel about the game when I'm bowling. If I know that I'm confident about that particular day, its when I know that I'm nailing my yorkers. I think it doesn't matter which batter is there or whos batting. I know that as long as I am doing what I'm supposed to do, I'm going to win that challenge. It doesn't matter if it goes for a boundary or a six. If it's a good shot, then obviously you just move on and get back to your run up and then bowl the same delivery again. So I am someone who is going to look back and see if I am doing the things right and if I can manage to nail those whatever variations, lengths or yorkers that I'm supposed to bowl. If I do that, then I know that I am in a great space of mind and I know that I can win the game at any moment in the game for my team, Vyshak told IANS in a virtual roundtable chat on Sunday. Against GT, Vyshak bowled across phases and made inroads later in the innings. After being hit for boundaries by Jos Buttler and Shubman Gill, he returned to remove Glenn Phillips in the 14th over. In the closing stages, Vyshak varied his pace well - a short slower ball led to Washington Sundar caught at deep point, while a fuller one saw Shahrukh Khan hole out to deep square leg. In PBKS recent win over CSK, Vyshak brought out the wide yorker to dismiss the swashbuckling Ayush Mhatre and then took out a rampaging Sarfaraz Khan to restrict the hosts to 209/5, which the visitors chased down easily. The idea of a wide yorker coming in from Vyshak came via captain Shreyas Iyer, who observed Mhatre had got a lot of boundaries through long-on, mid-wicket and square leg. For the wide yorkers, it was an instant plan from the captain because he was going really well on the leg side. So we just thought we'll make sure we'll try and make him try to hit the other side because he hadn't hit a single boundary towards the point and third man region. So we just thought we'll try and it did help us. We leaked a couple of boundaries, but we managed to get the run rate a bit down because the way they were looking, it looked like they were going to get 230. So from there, we restricted them to 210. Yes, 10 runs extra with five fielders inside, we must have given. But as a bowling team, we've been doing really well, he added. Vyshak traces the current good run for PBKS to his recent domestic season with Karnataka, where he shouldered the bowling attack even as the team struggled to get a trophy. He also remembers the learnings from the time spent with the India T20I team on tour to South Africa in 2024 and still harbours dream of playing Tests for the country, while having no complaints over the impact player rule especially when it gives him a chance to play in the IPL. Of course, without working hard in the nets, you can't be playing in such a big, big stage. So I seriously think that whatever you've been practicing and have been doing the right things, I think that is what is going to reflect in your games as well. So, thankfully, I have some nice coaches back home also. I have some inspiration from my Karnataka seniors who've been doing really well. I keep talking to them once in a while here and there whenever I have doubts. Even during the domestic season, I think I was the lead bowler. So I wanted to take charge and I wanted to do well for the team. Though we didn't really do well as a team, but I think I gained a lot of confidence there and I did what I'm supposed to do. So, that is something that has helped me - domestic is something where you actually can gain your confidence because of how good cricket is in India. Whatever team you play, there are so many people who have been doing very well and there are all the Indian stars that do come and play in the domestic season - that has helped me a lot, he elaborated. He also arrives in IPL 2026 with new tricks up his sleeve, especially with tons of video analysis swarming pre-game preparations and will unleash them when the time is ripe. Variations, yes, of course, whenever you come for a new season, you have to be prepared that you should know that there are so many people around. Every team has a video analyst and then they analyze your bowling and then they keep looking at it and you just have to keep getting better and better. So I always make sure that whenever I come, I have a new delivery for myself. So, that is what I've been trying to do. Yes, of course, I've been trying to get better and better with a couple of more slower ones or maybe a couple of more variations. So hopefully, I can maybe get it out this season or maybe next year. I don't know, but let's see, he said. For Vyshak, the unconditional backing from Iyer, whose doors are permanently open and keeps the dressing room environment light, is a necessity for someone like him navigating the unpredictability of T20 cricket. If you see on the ground as well, he's been very supportive. He's someone who's always backed his bowlers and players. It doesn't matter if you're doing well or if you've not been doing well - that is something it is very important for a bowler, when you have someone like them as a captain or coach, especially when they are backing you when you're doing or not doing well. So I think that is a constant that you require as a bowler, especially when you're playing IPL, where you might have a couple of bad games. But then once you come in, they come and say Don't worry, it doesn't matter its just one game. Or when you come back, he is someone who keeps the environment very, very light. So he speaks to all the players in the same way he speaks to Ricky, me or anybody else. If you see on the ground as well, he's been very supportive. He's someone who's always backed his bowlers and players.

IPL 2026: Very Good To Have Iyer As Captain, Takes Responsibility And Accountability, Says Bahutule
Indian Premier League: Punjab Kings (PBKS) have begun their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 campaign with consecutive wins. But it is captain Shreyas Iyer's authority as a leader that has again caught the attention of those interested in seeing if the side can finally win the title they missed out on last year. Former India spinner Sairaj Bahutule joined the PBKS set-up ahead of the ongoing season and feels Iyer has sharpened his leadership instincts, crediting his accountability and ability to read each player as key factors behind the team being a force to reckon with in the IPL. In an exclusive conversation with IANS ahead of PBKS taking on Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens, Bahutule spoke on Iyer, senior leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, the PBKS spin bowling line-up and more. Excerpts:- Q. What has been your first impressions of being in the PBKS set-up so far? A. Its been very welcoming. I think for me, this being the first year and working with the Punjab Kings has been fabulous. Ricky Ponting with the entire support staff, and Shreyas Iyer as the captain - they have welcomed me in a very good way in terms of knowing that what I can get to the franchise in terms of experience and in terms of coaching understanding. So, I think I'm enjoying it. It's a fabulous environment created by Ricky and everybody seems to enjoy each other's company and are in a good frame of mind. Q. How do you rate Shreyas Iyers leadership skills so far and what stands out for you? A. I think I've known him since he's been playing cricket in Mumbai as a kid. He's always shown potential. He has been a fabulous talent and a very fabulous player. But the only thing is that the changes as he's gone up with his cricketing abilities, he's also got better with his leadership qualities. He understands each player. He understands what is expected from the stakeholders, from the entire unit and he's been brilliant in responding to each one of them. More or less on the ground, he's very receptive to what the player needs. He'll make sure that the player is comfortable on the ground. He is doing what he's wanting to do and supports him 100 percent. I think that is a very, very important aspect of a leader. He takes responsibility, his accountability is also brilliant. So it's very good to have him as a captain. Definitely, as you correctly said, matured every year. Q. Yuzvendra Chahal, IPLs all-time leading wicket-taker, has already taken 3 wickets in 2 matches this year. What has changed in his preparation or mindset coming into IPL 2026? A. I really won't be able to express or tell you what exactly we've been working on. But all I can say is that he has been a very experienced bowler for us. He understands what his role is. We look at one game at a time and whatever the plans are, whatever is expected out of him to bowl in different phases, he is responsive. He is somebody who takes on that responsibility and holds himself accountable. I think that's a great trait to have in a bowler. We are really lucky to have him on board. I think not only does he think about his own bowling, but he's also a guy who helps the other spinners and is also a good part of our setup in terms of experience, sharing what is tactically good, what is maybe something which we need to think on. So his experience and expertise are always welcome. He's a super guy. He makes sure that the environment is lively and we have a lot of fun. Q. How do you see the other spinners in the PBKS set-up, and in what ways are they shaping up for the season? A. (Harpreet) Brar has been another fabulous bowler who had a very good domestic season. He's looking forward to getting an opportunity and I'm sure he will get one. Then Vishal Nishad is a young kid we picked up during the auction, who's a rookie. But he's getting better and better in this environment, understanding how cricket has been played at this particular level, what is to be expected, how to handle pressure, and things like that. We have Praveen Dubey as a leg spinner, who's also pretty good. Musheer as an all-rounder has been good. Nehal Wadhera also can chip in with a few overs, and things like that. So, the spin bowling unit is trying to keep it as simple as possible and trying to be as supportive of the fast bowling unit as well and being just committed to playing their role every time they play on the ground. Q. How data-reliant are PBKS when it comes to setting up their spinners for planning against various batters, and where do you draw the line between data-driven planning and trusting a bowler's instincts at the moment? I think data is fabulous. For me, I personally like data, but it's very important what you take to the player. We can't just take all the data and put it in front of a player. We need to filter it. We need to understand what will really help them at that particular moment to perform and to be aware of. But yes, generally, a lot of work is done behind the scenes in terms of all the coaches sitting down and seeing how the data can be, again, as I said, filtered. We need to break it down to a point where sometimes less is more. That's what we try to do - we take as less as possible to the player, but more of the work, we do it and see how we can utilize it at the right time and influence that particular moment or the sort of the result of the game. Q. What differences do you find in working with IPL franchises, as compared to your time at the BCCI CoE? A. I've enjoyed my stint with the CoE. I think VVS Laxman there was also a fabulous director in terms of giving us the guidance and understanding and giving up the space to work. There, that's how we work with the under-19 teams during the World Cups - sort of educate them how to get better, how to respond to pressure, how to do technically, if there are any changes to be made, and tactically make them understand. So CoE was a different challenge - developing a player is the key role there. So from under-19, then they progress to the India A-level. That is where they start off like almost preparing for the Indian team. So we tweak around and there's a different language to be spoken to such players. A. I've enjoyed my stint with the CoE. I think VVS Laxman there was also a fabulous director in terms of giving us the guidance and understanding and giving up the space to work. There, that's how we work with the under-19 teams during the World Cups - sort of educate them how to get better, how to respond to pressure, how to do technically, if there are any changes to be made, and tactically make them understand. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Franchise cricket is totally different. You have overseas players, you have overseas coaches, you learn a lot, and you bounce over each other's ideas. So overall, I think for me, both the stints have been fabulous. I think it's not about me - it's about the players. I see how much I can give to a player and see him progress from where he is. I think that is the ultimate satisfaction for me. Article Source: IANS

Chennai Super Kings: Punjab Kings young star Priyansh Arya said that the main focus of both players is to win the match and not focus on individual records after his blistering knock of 39 runs helped the team register a dominant five-wicket win against Chennai Super Kings at M.A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday. Coming to chase a big target of 210 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, Punjab Kings openers Arya and Prabhsimran gave the team an excellent start as they scored 55 runs in just 4 overs, with Priyansh playing the attacking role while Prabhsimran supported the young star. Priyansh lauded Prabhsimran's consistency and said that his strike rotation keeps the pressure off. Prabh bhai is 'Mr. Consistent for me now because of how he performs in every match. I really enjoy batting with him as he keeps rotating the strike and doesn't let the pressure build. It doesn't matter who is doing the scoring; as long as the team benefits, that is all that matters, Priyansh said after the match. Meanwhile, his partner Prabhsimran revealed that they aim to give a good start to the team, and it doesn't matter if the runs come from which players bat. Our aim is never about scoring a 50 or a 100. The intent is always to give the team a start that makes the chase easier. Priyansh started brilliantly today, scoring nearly 40 in just 11 balls. I was struggling to find my rhythm early on, so the way he batted really helped the team and me, he said. Meanwhile, his partner Prabhsimran revealed that they aim to give a good start to the team, and it doesn't matter if the runs come from which players bat.
