IPL 2026: Delhi Capitals Announce Rehan Ahmed As Ben Duckett's Replacement
Indian Premier League: Delhi Capitals (DC) have signed England all-rounder Rehan Ahmed as a replacement for his compatriot Ben Duckett for the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season. According to an official IPL media advisory, Rehan has been roped in for a fee of INR 75 lakh. The 21-year-old right-arm leg-spinner has represented England in all three formats, featuring in five Tests, nine ODIs, and 13 T20Is, and has taken a total of 49 international wickets so far. Duckett had withdrawn from what would have been his maiden IPL stint just before the start of the tournament in order to focus on his England commitments following a challenging Ashes tour. The Capitals did not name an immediate replacement at the time, instead opting to reshuffle their batting order, with Pathum Nissanka opening alongside KL Rahul. Rehan, who initially gained attention for his wrist-spin bowling, has also made significant progress with the bat. Playing for Leicestershire, he enjoyed an impressive 2025 County Championship campaign, scoring 760 runs at an average of 50.66, including five centuries, while also picking up 23 wickets at an average of 19. He made waves earlier this year during the 2026 T20 World Cup for breaking crucial partnerships. Rehan has represented England in 13 T20Is, picking up 15 wickets.

They suspect she may be acting under ISI influence to test Sikh sentiments.
Indian Premier League: South Africas left-arm fast bowling all-rounder Marco Jansen has been emerging as a genuine all-rounder for Punjab Kings (PBKS). In last years Indian Premier League (IPL), Jansen finished as PBKS joint second-highest wicket-taker with 16 scalps from 14 matches. While known for his Power-play spells, Jansens best returns came in the middle overs, where he claimed six wickets at 8.5 runs per over. After having a good time for the Proteas in the T20 World Cup, Jansen has been a vital cog in PBKS bowling wheel, as the side remains the only unbeaten team in IPL 2026. In a virtual roundtable chat facilitated by the franchise ahead of their clash against Delhi Capitals, Jansen reflected on skipper Shreyas Iyer, being a first-change bowler, how hard lengths have given him good returns in the shortest format, and more. Excerpts: Q. What kind of leader is Shreyas Iyer, and the reason behind him being an inspirational skipper A. Shreyas, as a captain, is definitely up there, if not on top. He's a pleasure to work with. He knows what he's doing. He knows what he wants from the players. He motivates and drives us to play our best. It gives us the space to do what we do well, if that makes sense. It's not a case of it's his way or the highway type of thing, which I think is a very nice feeling as a bowler and a player. He knows what he wants. He knows what he wants to achieve. He's very goal-driven. He's very headstrong. It's very easy to see when we are in meetings and stuff like that, and in training. He's very driven. I think from a team's point of view, it's nice to have a captain like that. So it's like you sort of just follow his lead. He's going to lead the team in a way where it's going to put the team in a position to not just win games, but also, if you're lucky enough, win a trophy as well. It's nice to play under his captaincy. He's up for discussions. He's always welcoming. It's never a case of it feels like a dictatorship. He makes everyone feel valued and welcomed. As a player, it's very, very nice to have a captain like that where you feel you can go to the captain, you can express, or you can speak about certain things about the game. Not just that, but he'll give his advice, or he'll give his two cents about it as well, and then he'll formulate a plan with you to help you get better if need be and to take the team forward and stuff like that, which is nice. Q. With Xavier Bartlett sharing the new ball with Arshdeep Singh, how has it been for you to adapt, especially with batters looking to hit hard at the bowlers? A. I'm used to taking the first or second over, but I also know that I do have the skills to adapt to whatever situation or to adapt to any situation or any particular time in the match to come in and do a job for the team. Obviously, as a swing bowler or someone who's used to bowling with the new ball, you do have a weapon in your hand as well. So coming in in the third, fourth, or sometimes fifth over is definitely a different approach that I had to take. But it's not a case of me thinking that I can't do a job or I can't take wickets or thinking, okay, cool, there is my weapon taken away. It's nothing like that. Its actually the opposite because Arshdeep and Xavier swing the ball consistently and more than I do. I understand that. At the same time, I also realise and understand that I have different attributes, different skills that I bring to the bowling unit and to the table. It's just from a bowling unit; everyone knows that wherever we bowl, there's a plan, there's a reason. It's not a case of, in my case, that they don't believe I can't do a good job bowling the first or second over with the new ball. It's a case of how are we going to bowl well with the ball as a unit, if that makes sense. Yuzi (Chahal) is bowling in the middle, Shashank is not bowling in the first few games, and then all of a sudden comes in and takes two in his first over in this season. So I think it's a good place to be. It's a nice place to be at as a bowler and a player and as a bowling unit because we know it doesn't matter where we bowl, or where Shreyas decides to bowl a certain bowler or a particular bowler. We know there's a reason behind it, and we know that whoever has the ball in his hands at that particular time, whether it's in a power play in the middle or at the death, we fully believe and we trust that that guy will do the best job for the team. Q. You have been sticking to hard lengths more often than not. Do you think that has been one of the reasons for you doing well in both Test cricket and T20 as well? A. It doesn't surprise me because Josh Hazlewood does the exact same. People still ask the same. I still ask the same question. How does he just hit a length and he picks up wickets, he doesn't go for a lot of runs, and he's consistent as well. He also has variations. I also have one or two variations. But I think it comes down to both of us. We're tall bowlers. We bowl different lengths. There's something different we give to a bowling unit that makes sense. I think the problem, especially when I was younger, was that I came in where I was trying to bowl similar to what other guys were bowling, if it makes sense. Not realising that what I bring to the table is different or is completely different from what other bowlers are bringing to the table. I have to find my own way to be effective and to put in consistent performances for the team. I think the last year or so, I've felt comfortable in my own skin. I've felt comfortable in doing what I feel is best to help me stay consistent and perform consistently. Obviously, you're going to get your off days, but the goal is just to try and stay consistent and not have those good performances few and far between so try and stack them as close as possible. Q. Do you have a different approach to your bowling plan for the afternoon matches compared to the evening ones, keeping in mind the pitch and conditions? A. No, it's the same approach. I think just what I bowl or the options change based on the conditions. So if a wicket is good, like the previous game, the wicket was really, really good for batting, we felt. That approach, sort of on the go, you sort of try and formulate a way of going about it. There's no set way of bowling, or there are no preconceived ideas about how I want to go about it. I obviously have the basics that I stick to and that I always do, and I always follow the processes that I follow. But it's always a case of trying to sum up the conditions as quickly as possible and then finding a way to be as effective as I can be on that particular day. Q. What has been the discussion within the bowling group, and how have you been able to support each other on the field in terms of defensive tactics in death overs? A. It's not a case of going defensively. I think it's a case of we're trying, we're always assessing and thinking of ways to stop the opposition from scoring and obviously make it as hard as possible for them to score runs, especially at the death and in the power play as well. But we just approach it differently because in the power play, you only have two fielders out, and at the death and in the middle overs, you have five fielders out. So it makes it a bit easier for us as a bowling unit to sort of bowl towards a certain plan if it makes sense to bowl. There are more fielders who can help you get wickets. A. It's not a case of going defensively. I think it's a case of we're trying, we're always assessing and thinking of ways to stop the opposition from scoring and obviously make it as hard as possible for them to score runs, especially at the death and in the power play as well. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Because batters are so good, they hit sixes over the point these days. I don't know how they do it, but they do it. So it's quite difficult to set a particular plan for all the batters. It's just about trying to be smart and just basically keeping them on their toes. You always have to make the batter think twice or guess what the next ball is going to be. Article Source: IANS
IPL 2026: 'We Back Each Other' - Jansen Credits Collective Thinking For PBKS' Good Run With Ball
Indian Premier League: Punjab Kings left-arm fast bowling all-rounder Marco Jansen said the team's impressive run with the ball in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season is down to one simple principle - collective thinking and backing each other to thrive. While the power-packed PBKS batting unit continues to hog the limelight, Jansen, along with Arshdeep Singh, Xavier Bartlett, Vijaykumar Vyshak, and Yuzvendra Chahal, have provided a lot of variety to their bowling attack in this season so far, with their economy rate standing at 9.64. All the attention and all the fireworks, as you say, are around our batting. I think it's not just our batting, but it's the whole IPL in general. People want to come out and watch the ball fly everywhere. People hit 110-meter sixes and stuff like that, which is understandable. That's what makes the game attractive to the viewers. We as players understand that. But at the same time, people also value, and they also appreciate good bowling. For us as a unit, I think we know exactly what each and every bowler can do and what he does best. I think on a particular day, it's a case of reading the conditions, trying multiple options, Jansen told IANS in a virtual roundtable chat organised by the franchise on Thursday. At the heart of that collective approach, Jansen explained, is a dressing room culture in which every bowler's voice carries weight and no single template is imposed on anyone. If it needs to be, if not, then we just keep it simple. But I think everyone has different skills. Everyone has a different way of going about it. Everyone has a different way of going about bowling in different situations. I think what we've done really well is that it's not a one-size-fits-all approach, if it makes sense. It's sort of like, okay, Vyshak, what do you do? Or what are you thinking? Arsh, what are you thinking? Marco, what do you think? I think we've done really well in embracing each and every opinion and each and every one's view on how they think would be best to go about it, and we sort of back each other. We understand and support one another in whatever way they feel is the best way for them to do a good job for the team, he added. PBKSs attack has built a quiet reputation for control, showing sharp defensive skills at the back end by holding Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Mumbai Indians to totals well below expectations. Jansen also made it clear that this spirit of backing one another translates directly onto the field, where bowlers feel confident enough to execute skills they have specifically worked on in the nets. PBKSs attack has built a quiet reputation for control, showing sharp defensive skills at the back end by holding Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Mumbai Indians to totals well below expectations. Also Read: Live Cricket Score So I think for us, it's nice to see that we're at least executing what we're training to do. Also, we're actually going into games and match days where we've trained a particular skill and are executing that and putting the team in a position where we can win that particular game, he concluded.

Petrol-diesel, LPG supply normal in J&K, Ladakh: IOCL Executive Director
Executive Director (ED) and State Head of Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) for J&K, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh Ashutosh Gupta Wednesday stated that the supply of petroleum products, including petrol and diesel was normal in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. He said LPG supplies were also stable, with adequate stock to meet public demand. Accompanied by Director, PIB Jammu Neha Jalali, Ashutosh Gupta was responding to media queries in a press conference organised by the Press Information Bureau (PIB) Jammu on the current status of fuel and LPG supply in Jammu and Kashmir amidst the ongoing situation in West Asia. State-level coordinator of oil Industry in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh Himanshu Sharma besides other officials of OICL were also present on the occasion. Gupta also mentioned that the Government of India appealed for the utilisation of PNG (Piped Natural Gas) and that a main trunk line was expected to ensure PNG supply to Jammu and Kashmir within a year. The IOCL Executive Director said the stock position of Motor Spirit (MS) and High-Speed Diesel (HSD) was normal across J&K, adding that Oil Marketing Company (OMC) depots were maintaining healthy inventory levels. Retail outlets have sufficient stock for uninterrupted sales. There is no cause for concern regarding the availability of automotive fuels, he stated. Ashutosh Gupta said oil refineries were currently operating at more capacity to meet the growing demand, ensuring that there were no dry outs or artificial shortages. He said despite the unprecedented national supply disruption, J&K successfully maintained commercial LPG supply more than 70 percent of its pre-crisis average. This figure reflects the sustained and coordinated efforts of Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) and the J&K government. Against the pre-crisis daily average of 2072 cylinders (commercial sale 19 kg equivalent on February 26), we are currently delivering 1958 cylinders per day ensuring that commercial kitchens, industries and establishments continue to receive a substantial and functional share of their requirement, he said. Gupta stated that it had been achieved through strict supply chain management, priority-based allocation, and active monitoring even as the nation continued to face a 2530 percent overall LPG supply deficit due to the Hormuz disruption. He assured the public that there was no need to panic as there was no issue with respect to the availability of LPG in the region and informed that there had been a 25-30 per cent increase in indigenous production of LPG to further strengthen supply lines. With regard to hoarding and black-marketing practices, Gupta stressed the Corporations zero tolerance policy. He informed that 9,128 raids were conducted and 181 surprise inspections carried out. We have already seized 295 cylinders, and three FIRs have been registered against illegal practices. Dealers have been working with patience to discourage hoarding and legal action will be taken against anyone involved in hoarding or black marketing, he said. The government was committed to maintaining a disciplined market, with 69 show cause-notices issued to violators, he added. The complaints of malpractices by some of the LPG distributors are being reported on social media as well as through complaints from the customers. Some complaints were received on social media about the current crisis. Immediate response is given to the genuine concerns. Relevant information and updates for the benefit of the customers is shared via our various social media handles from time to time, Ashutosh Gupta said. The IOCL Executive Director pointed out that booking for LPG currently was being managed efficiently with an OTP-based verification system. He informed that this system had seen 92 per cent of bookings made via digital mode by genuine customers. Additionally, FTL 5-kg cylinders have been made available for migrant workers. 55 camps have been organised for daily wage workers to provide easy access to fuel in the form of FTL cylinders, he said. The Executive Director said that total commercial LPG allocation had been increased to about 70 percent of pre-crisis levels. Additional measures were undertaken to support vulnerable sections, including doubling the allocation of 5 kg Free Trade LPG (FTL) cylinders for migrant labourers, he informed. Regarding commercial LPG supply, Gupta stated that the demand from hospitals, educational institutes and hotels increased from 20 percent to 70 percent, demonstrating the growing reliance on fuel in critical sectors. Earlier in her opening remarks, Director, PIB Jammu Neha Jalali provided an overview of the steps taken by the Government of India to ensure a continuous and uninterrupted supply of essential petroleum products, including diesel, petrol and LPG, across the country. She highlighted that the government implemented several proactive measures to mitigate any disruptions to the supply chain. Neha Jalali informed that more than 30 inter-ministerial briefings were held in New Delhi to provide a status on the supply of fuel, LPG, and fertilisers. She also emphasised the crucial role played by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, through PIB and its associated media units, in disseminating accurate and factual information regarding fuel availability. She stated that the PIB had been actively countering misinformation and fake news related to fuel shortages. She urged the public to rely only on verified information from official sources and to refrain from spreading unverified news, which could cause unnecessary panic and disruptions.

Srinagar, Apr 22:The Anantnag goods terminal will serve as a key hub for routing rice and wheat consignments to Ladakh, replacing longer and more difficult traditional supply routes, officials said. Earlier, consignments for Ladakh were transported by road from Punjab and Jammu, a system that required advance stocking due to seasonal disruptions. The shift is expected to improve the movement of essential food grains, particularly during winter when the Zojila Pass remains closed for nearly six months. Officials said the earlier system required maintaining large buffer stocks for extended periods because the Srinagar-Zojila-Leh National Highway closed. As the Zojila road to Ladakh remains shut for half the year, we had to maintain buffer stock for that entire period, which was cumbersome, said ChitruNaiyak, General Manager, Food Corporation of India (FCI), Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. Under the new arrangement, consignments from Punjab and Jammu will arrive at the Anantnag goods terminal and then be transported to the nearby Batengoo facility for weighment before being dispatched to Leh, Kargil and Zanskar, he said. Previously, any consignments to the Anantnag goods terminal were taken to the FCI godown at Mir Bazar along the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway for weighment during both unloading and loading, which caused delays, Naiyak said, adding that the process also raised security concerns due to the proximity of a CRPF camp. Officials said the absence of a dedicated weighbridge had further complicated handling of incoming rail consignments. To address this, we engaged private parties to install a weighbridge at Batengoo, which has resolved both weighment and security concerns, Naiyak said. He said the lack of such a facility earlier meant incoming racks often had to be diverted, affecting efficiency. The Batengoo goods facility, located about 3 km from the Harnag-Anantnag terminal, has direct access to the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway, enabling faster movement of trucks toward Srinagar and other parts of Kashmir. Officials said the new infrastructure is expected to streamline supplies to Ladakh and improve distribution across Kashmir. The system will help reduce transit time and strengthen overall food supply logistics, Naiyak said. Rail-based food grain movement to Anantnag has picked up in recent months. On January 22, Northern Railways Jammu Division transported a 42-BCN rake loaded with rice from Sangrur, Punjab, to Anantnag in about 24 hours. On December 21 last year, a goods train carrying 21 BCN wagons from the Firozpur divisions Ajitwal goods shed delivered around 1,384 tonnes of food grains to the terminal.

IPL 2026: Danish Malewar, The 21-year-old Vidarbha Star, Hopes For More Changes After MI Debut
Indian Premier League: A new name has entered the spotlight for the five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) as 21-year-old batter Danish Malewar made his debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Monday. The Vidarbha batter was expected to come in place of Rohit Sharma in MI's previous match against Punjab Kings at the Wankhede Stadium last Thursday. But the team management decided to go ahead with the South African duo of Ryan Rickelton and Quinton de Kock. However, Malewar, who came as an opener on Monday, failed to make an impact on debut as he struggled from the onset and got out against Kagiso Rabada after scoring just two runs in four balls in his debut innings. However, the youngster would be looking to do much better if he got more chances. Born on October 8, 2003, the 21-year-old from Nagpur is a right-handed top-order batter and a right-arm leg-break bowler. Known for his consistency in red-ball cricket and attacking intent in shorter formats, Malewar was picked by the Mumbai Indians at his base price of INR 30 lakh. His journey began at the City Gymkhana Academy under coaches Swaroopraj Shrivastava and Nitin Gawande. Joining at just seven years old, Malewar quickly stood out for his discipline and determination. By the age of 12, he was already representing Vidarbhas Under-14 team. One story often shared about him highlights his commitment. After returning from a tour at 2 am, Malewar chose to play an Under-14 final the very next morning and went on to score a century despite barely getting any rest. He rose through the ranks to become a key player for Vidarbha. In the 202425 Ranji Trophy season, he played an important role in their title-winning campaign, scoring 783 runs in nine matches at an average of 52. His tally included two centuries and six half-centuries, making him the teams third-highest run-scorer. One story often shared about him highlights his commitment.

IPL 2026: PBKS Will Be Bloody Hard Team To Beat If We Do Things Near Our Best, Says Ponting
Lucknow Super Giants: Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting believes his sides current form and collective mindset make them one of the toughest teams to overcome in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, asserting that sticking close to their best standards will keep them firmly ahead of the competition. Punjab Kings underlined that confidence with a dominant 54-run win over Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday, extending their unbeaten run in the season. In doing so, PBKS also created history by becoming the first team in IPL history to remain undefeated after their opening six matches, a milestone in the leagues 19-year history. Asked to bat first for the first time this season, PBKS responded with 254/7, the highest total of IPL 2026, powered by a sensational 182-run stand for the second wicket between Priyansh Arya and Cooper Connolly. Arya led the charge with a blistering 93 off just 37 balls, smashing nine sixes, while Connolly complemented him with a fluent 87 off 46 deliveries. Ponting credited the teams team-first philosophy as the cornerstone of their success, reiterating the importance of maintaining standards inside the dressing room. Knowing that if we do things somewhere near our best, you're going to be a bloody hard team to beat. Priyansh just decided to go ahead and play his own way, regardless of what happened at the other end. One of the values and standards we have as a groupand the number one on the top of our listis team first. This has probably been our biggest victory, Ponting said. Arya, whose fearless strokeplay set the tone early, spoke about keeping his approach simple despite the high-scoring contest. I was thinking that I would respect a good ball and take a single or double. And whatever is on my radar, I'll go for boundaries. That's what I was looking for, he said. At the other end, Connolly admitted he found himself admiring Aryas onslaught at times while working his way into the innings. I was at the other end just in awe a little bit because I couldn't get off strike, but yeah, I was just enjoying watching Priyansh bat. We all have discussions about what works for each other, and we take little things out of each other's books to get better as a group, Cooper noted. Skipper Shreyas Iyer praised the young duo for their composure and attacking intent, while also revealing a light-hearted internal challenge to keep them motivated. Absolutely brilliant batting. Some of the shots were just incredible. It takes a lot of courage and concentration to play shots like those. I was talking to Cooper and Priyansh, and we were challenging them to see who could hit the most sixes this season. The prize? Theyll get my bat! I hope it brings some joy and motivation. They are constantly putting in the effort, and we just tell them to go out there and express themselves, Iyer said. The late acceleration came from Marcus Stoinis and Shashank Singh, and their quickfire contributions ensured PBKS capitalised fully on the platform set by the top order. Stoinis acknowledged the impact of the opening pair in shaping the innings. Absolutely brilliant batting. Some of the shots were just incredible.
