Punjab Kings' (PBKS) suffered a four-wicket loss to Gujarat Titans in their IPL 2026 clash in Ahmedabad on Sunday night.
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Punjab Kings (PBKS) are focused on returning to winning ways as they face Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite two narrow losses recently, the Kings remain at the top of the table with 13 points and are focused on playing their best cricket as the season enters its final weeks. Speaking ahead of the match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Assistant Coach Brad Haddin said the team is taking a lot of confidence from how the middle order has stepped up. He pointed to the recent performance of Suryansh Shedge, who hit a fearless 57 off 29 balls against the Gujarat Titans, as a big positive for the squad's depth. The partnership of Marcus Stoinis and Suryansh, we thought, was really good in the circumstances of the game under pressure. Suryansh waswow. Not so much the score, but the manner in which he got the runs under pressure. He got through the difficult time when he was ten off ten balls and then accelerated. We know how explosive our top order is, but now our middle order is starting to get some time together and get some form, Haddin said. Haddin also reaffirmed the teams total confidence in strike bowler Arshdeep Singh, labelling him a world-class professional. He noted that the nature of the current tournament makes it difficult for bowlers, but the team is looking at the long-term goal. Arshdeep is world-class. You know, in this tournament, there's going to be bad days with how explosive the batting has been right through. Numbers say that there have been some phenomenal chases, and Arshdeep understands the flow of tournament play. We're happy with where he's at. You want your best players performing in the important games at the back end of the tournament, and he is a key part of that for us, Haddin remarked. The teams identity this season has been built on a o-fear approach, led by openers Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya. Haddin credited this mindset for the team's success so far and believes the squad is close to putting together a complete, dominant performance. Arshdeep is world-class.

IPL 2026: Ngidi Comes In As DC Elect To Bat Against CSK, Akeal, Gurjapneet Included
Chennai Super Kings: A fit-again Lungi Ngidi has returned for Delhi Capitals as captain Axar Patel won the toss and elected to bat first against five-time champions Chennai Super Kings in match 48 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. A win for either of the two teams will brighten their chances of staying alive in the race for the playoffs. After winning the toss, Axar said, Ngidi, who was declared hundred percent fit by bowling coach Munaf Patel on the eve of the clash after recovering from an unfortunate head injury against the Punjab Kings last month, and completed a seven-day mandatory stand-down period, replaces fellow pacer Kyle Jamieson in the playing eleven. I think the surface looks good, and we feel its a very good pitch. Maybe in the second innings it might slow down a bit, so Id like to give that advantage to our bowlers. The way the tournament is going, its a very important match. But at the same time, its more important to focus on how youre playing. You cant think too much about points - if you do, you put extra pressure on yourself. Thats what weve been discussing as a team; we just want to play good cricket, and the points will take care of themselves. Weve lost some close matches, but if you look at the season overall, Im happy with the wins and performances. Thats what happens sometimes, but if we talk about cricket, Im very happy with the boys batting and bowling. In fielding, if we had done better, we could have been in a stronger position, he said. CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, who got a roaring reception from the crowd dressed majorly in a yellow jersey, said he wanted to bowl first anyway and wasnt worried about losing the toss. With pace-bowling all-rounder Ramakrishna Ghosh ruled out of the competition due to a right foot fracture, CSK had to rejig their combination - left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Akeal Hosein and left-arm pacer Gurjapneet Singh have come into the playing eleven. The pitch looks a bit dry, so I dont think it will change much. So batting or bowling first wont make much difference. There have been some positive signs in the last 23 matches. Even though we havent won every game, there are some good positives. Since the first three matches of the tournament, weve improved a lot in all departments. Our bowling has been doing really well, and the batting is slowly coming together. We just want to carry that momentum into the last phase of the tournament. Were really happy coming into this game, especially after the last one. But this is a new game, so we want to start fresh and start well. Its also great to see youngsters getting opportunities and stepping up. Its a good sign for the franchise - they are repaying the faith shown by the management, he said. Tuesdays clash will be played on pitch number four, and the boundaries are 66 metres square on one side, while 60 metres is the boundary on the other side, and the 73 metres boundary stands straight down the ground. In the pitch report, Ian Bishop and Eoin Morgan noted that showers in the past 24 hours have cooled the conditions, but the surface remains rockhard and conducive for batting. Playing XIs: Chennai Super Kings: Sanju Samson (wk), Ruturaj Gaikwad (captain), Urvil Patel, Kartik Sharma, Dewald Brevis, Jamie Overton, Akeal Hosein, Noor Ahmad, Anshul Kamboj, Mukesh Choudhary, Gurjapneet Singh Impact substitutes: Shivam Dube, Prashant Veer, Matt Short, Akash Madhwal, and Sarfaraz Khan Chennai Super Kings: Sanju Samson (wk), Ruturaj Gaikwad (captain), Urvil Patel, Kartik Sharma, Dewald Brevis, Jamie Overton, Akeal Hosein, Noor Ahmad, Anshul Kamboj, Mukesh Choudhary, Gurjapneet Singh Also Read: Live Cricket Score Impact substitutes: Vipraj Nigam, Sameer Rizvi, Abishek Porel, Auqib Nabi Dar, and David Miller Article Source: IANS

Will Lungi Ngidi play in DC vs CSK IPL match? Coach provides big update
Ngidi had to be taken off the field on a stretcher and was hospitalised after the incident. It happened in the third over of Punjab Kings innings, bowled by Axar Patel, when Ngidi tried to take a catch off a shot by Priyansh Arya.
Punjab National Bank is recruiting for 30 Specialist Officer positions. The application deadline is May 5, 2026. Candidates need an engineering degree in Civil, Electrical, or Mechanical fields. The selection process involves a written exam, interview, and document verification. Interested individuals should apply online via the PNB website before the closing date.
Max Super Speciality Hospital: Delhi Capitals bowling coach Munaf Patel confirmed that fast bowler Lungi Ngidi has cleared the mandatory concussion standdown period and is 100 percent fit to return to action ahead of the sides crucial clash against five-time champions Chennai Super Kings, to be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday evening. Ngidi suffered an unfortunate head injury while fielding in the third over of DCs afternoon game against Punjab Kings on April 25 and was rushed to BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, Pusa Road, in an ambulance via a green corridor created by Delhi Police. Under ICC regulations, a mandatory sevenday standdown applies to players diagnosed with concussion. Even though IPL 2026 Playing Conditions did not spell it out explicitly, Ngidi had to serve that rest period after being discharged from the hospital on the same evening, with scans revealing no major concerns. All bowlers are fit and Lungi is 100 percent fit because he didn't play two games because of the six-day criteria. But he's a hundred percent fit now, said Munaf in the pre-match press conference on Monday. Though Kyle Jamieson did very well to dismiss Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in Jaipur, where DC won by six wickets, he did go for runs. DC would want for Ngidi to partner with left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc as he has been prolific with his repertoire of slower balls, especially in the death overs. Starc marked his return to DC with the prized wicket of the inform Yashasvi Jaiswal and his inclusion has proved to be a timely boost, especially with the side eyeing a spot in the playoffs. The left-arm pacer will be eyeing to take out Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson to set the tone up front while remaining a potent threat in the death overs. Since his IPL comeback in 2025, Starc has taken 17 wickets in 11 innings at an economy of 10.2, including a best of 5-35. Against CSK, he has six wickets from seven games at an economy rate of 7.2. More importantly, DC's results since IPL 2025 are significantly better when Starc clicks he has 14 wickets in wins for them at nine runs per over, compared to just three scalps in losses at an economy rate of 12.5. Absolutely - if a wicket-taker comes in powerplay, your whole plan changes. If a wicket-taker comes in the first six overs, the whole scenario changes. As you can see, scores of 230 and 240 are being chased down because one is unable to pick wickets in power-play. But when your main bowler returns and gets you two wickets in powerplay, it makes a lot of difference. So, bowling in partnerships was somewhere missing for us and now it has been added. Obviously, you get that belief as you have a world-class bowler. You can call him the captain of the bowling unit. He is the main bowler in the fast bowlers. Everyone gets confidence from him, added Munaf. He also admitted that poor returns of Indian pacers Mukesh Kumar and Auqib Nabi meant DC had to revert to going heavy with overseas presence in their bowling attack. Both of our Indian bowlers, Auqib and Mukesh, are new ball bowlers. So, our plan was that we will use both of them because if you use Indian bowlers, you can add foreign players batting. So, that was the plan. But if you don't succeed in the plan, you have to go to plan B. So, we didn't succeed in the plan that we used Indian bowlers and somehow we made a mistake in that. That also meant that David Miller missed out on the clash against RR, while Pathum Nissanka only got his spot back due to an injury to teenaged opener Sahil Parakh. It is difficult to fit in the eleven because there are only four overseas players. There is a reason for that - Sahil was injured and we wanted Pathum to get a chance. We wanted an additional bowler too. So, we played Pathum and we had to play two foreign fast bowlers and you can't let Starc out and Lungi couldn't play at that time. Our plan was that either Pathum or Miller will play. We didn't have another opener because he was injured and so, we went with Pathum. That also meant that David Miller missed out on the clash against RR, while Pathum Nissanka only got his spot back due to an injury to teenaged opener Sahil Parakh. It is difficult to fit in the eleven because there are only four overseas players. There is a reason for that - Sahil was injured and we wanted Pathum to get a chance.

If the opening partnership is going for 100-250 runs, who should we replace with? We had to change it because Sahil got injured and Pathum has now made 62 runs in last game.

IPL 2026: Holder Was Outstanding Because Of His Discipline With Length, Says McClenaghan
Former New Zealand: Former New Zealand fast bowler Mitchell McClenaghan has hailed Jason Holders outstanding spell of 4-24 playing a vital part in Gujarat Titans beating Punjab Kings by four wickets in IPL 2026, adding that the all-rounders success was down to him being disciplined with his lengths at the Narendra Modi Stadium. That spell also ensured Holder won successive Player-of-the-Match awards for GT, who are now on a three-match winning streak. Jason Holder was outstanding because of his discipline with length. He consistently hit that hard length, right around the six-to-eight metre mark, which made life difficult for the batters. With his height, the extra bounce becomes a real challenge; the ball climbs onto the splice and is hard to control. He didnt offer width either. So, there were very few scoring opportunities. On top of that, he mixed in his variations smartly and even got some sideways movement later in the innings. It was a complete spell, perfectly suited to the conditions, said McClenaghan on JioHotstar. He also weighed in on left-handed opener Sai Sudharsan making 57 off 41 balls, adding that his dominance with the bat in a chase of 164 was aided by a lack of tactical flexibility from the Punjab Kings bowling line-up. Sai Sudharsan is in excellent form. Once he gets going, he tends to carry that momentum through the innings. What stood out was his composure in challenging conditions.
