'Hallmark Of A Master': Aakash Chopra Lauds Sunil Narine After KKR Keep Playoff Hopes Alive
Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra heaped praise on veteran all-rounder Sunil Narine after the spinner once again delivered a match-defining spell in Kolkata Knight Riders crucial four-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026. With their playoff hopes hanging by a thread, KKR produced a disciplined all-round performance at Eden Gardens to stay alive in the race. Narine played a central role in restricting Mumbai to 147/8 on a difficult two-paced surface, finishing with miserly figures of 4-1-13-1 and removing MI skipper Hardik Pandya at a key stage of the innings. Speaking about Narines continued dominance in the IPL, Chopra highlighted the spinners remarkable control over length and trajectory, qualities that have troubled batters for years across conditions and venues. He's brilliant. These are the conditions he relishes, but he's equally effective everywhere he's played this season and in seasons gone by. His length is impeccable. You can't hit him off the back foot. He's flat and slightly quicker through the air, where you can't really step down. You won't see him getting clobbered by people stepping down or hitting off the back foot. He bowls in that five-to-seven-metre mark every time, a very difficult trajectory to pick, Chopra told JioStar. Narine's spell proved especially important after rain interrupted Mumbais innings at 57/4 in eight overs. Following the restart, KKR tightened their grip through spin, with Narine and Varun Chakravarthy squeezing the middle overs and denying Mumbai any momentum. Chopra also praised Narines ability to bounce back immediately even after conceding boundaries, calling it one of the defining traits of elite bowlers. Then he's got the variations and the accuracy. One thing that stands out is that when you hit him for a four or a six, he comes back with an equally effective delivery to follow up. And that's the hallmark of a master, he stated. KKR eventually chased down the target with four wickets in hand, thanks largely to a composed 45 from Manish Pandey and a counterattacking 40 from Rovman Powell. The result kept Kolkata mathematically alive in the playoff race heading into their final league-stage fixture. Chopra also reflected on the wider playoff picture and the pressure on teams still battling for qualification spots. Discussing Punjab Kings and their final league game against Lucknow Super Giants, he said PBKS would continue pushing aggressively despite the odds stacked against them. It's not going to be easy, but they would want to fight and come back into the tournament. You get to 15 points, you improve your net run rate, even if it's ever so slightly. And they play that aggressive brand of cricket, Chopra said. Punjabs qualification chances remain dependent not only on their own result, but also on other outcomes, particularly involving Rajasthan Royals. Chopra pointed out that teams like Punjab, Kolkata and even Chennai Super Kings would all be watching Rajasthans final fixture closely. It's not going to be easy, but they would want to fight and come back into the tournament. You get to 15 points, you improve your net run rate, even if it's ever so slightly. And they play that aggressive brand of cricket, Chopra said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Of course, they'll also have to hope that Rajasthan lose. Punjab, KKR, or even CSK need Rajasthan to lose that last one for their chances to even be entertained, he noted. Article Source: IANS

Nabi Should Have Gotten A Chance To Be In Squad For Test Against Afghanistan, Says Raina
With Harshit Rana: Former India batter Suresh Raina has said Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi should have been given a chance in the Test squad for the one-off match against Afghanistan, though he also felt captain Shubman Gills inputs could have shaped the final look of the bowling attack. With Harshit Rana and Akash Deep ruled out due to varied injuries and ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah rested, Nabi - one of the standout performers of the Ranji Trophy season, where he led Jammu and Kashmir to victory by picking 60 scalps, was widely tipped to get a maiden Test callup. But the selectors opted for lanky Punjab pacer Gurnoor Brar as the backup fast bowling option to join Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna in the squad, meaning that Nabi, who has 104 wickets in the last two Ranji Trophy seasons, will have to wait for his chance to be in the Test team. Auqib Nabi should have gotten a chance. He played a key role in Jammu and Kashmir winning the Ranji Trophy for the first time. But I feel Prasidh and Siraj are bowling well with good line and length. They have pace, and Gurnoor, who is 6'5, comes from Punjab and has taken 52 wickets in 18 first-class matches. I am sure Shubman Gill would have given his inputs about the kind of bowlers he wanted, said Raina on JioHotstar. Gurnoors inclusion for the Test and ODI teams is seen as a punt on attributes he provides, like raw pace and the ability to generate steep bounce even on placid pitches. Though he has a modest return of 52 wickets from 18 first-class matches, Gurnoor broke into the India A squads last year and picked up 12 wickets in three matches, including six in Kanpur against Australia A, where he overshadowed Siraj and Prasidh. They have pace, and Gurnoor, who is 6'5, comes from Punjab and has taken 52 wickets in 18 first-class matches.

IPL 2026: 'With 53 Sixes, Sooryavanshi Is Actually Going After Gayle's Record,' Says Irfan
Lucknow Super Giants: Rajasthan Royals teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi continues to terrorise bowlers in IPL 2026, and former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes the 15-year-old is on the verge of breaking one of the most iconic records in the tournaments history. Sooryavanshi smashed a blistering 93 off just 38 balls against Lucknow Super Giants as Rajasthan Royals chased down 221 with ease. In the process, the teenage prodigy became the first Indian batter in IPL history to hit 50 sixes in a single season. He also became the youngest player in tournament history to reach 500 runs and maintained the highest strike rate ever in a 500-plus-run season at 236.3. This was unbelievable. The maturity he showed was the highlight for me. We always say, whenever we watch Vaibhav Suryavanshi, that he's a very good leg-side player. The way he played on the off-side in this game was outstanding. He has great control over his back-lift. He was playing over covers and even played an upper-cut over third man. It is very difficult to stop him, Pathan told JioStar. In his first 10 balls, he was batting at a strike rate of less than 100, and by the end of the innings, he had scored 93 runs off just 38 balls. With 53 sixes, he is actually going after Chris Gayle's record of 59 sixes, which has stood since 2012. As bowlers, we were always scared of facing Chris Gayle. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is creating that same fear, and Gayle's record is definitely in danger, he said, praising the teenagers power-hitting and composure under pressure. With a seven-wicket win, RR jumped to fourth place in the points table, ahead of Punjab Kings, who had been holding that position for quite some time. A victory in their last league stage game against Mumbai Indians, and some favourable results, would lead to the inaugural champions clinching the last-remaining playoff spot.

IPL 2026: Five Teams Remain In Hunt For Lone Remaining Playoff Spot
Indian Premier League: As we draw closer to the end of the league stage in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, the race for the playoffs has gotten quite interesting. With RCB, GT, and SRH having already booked their places in the top 4, there is now just one remaining spot for which five teams are battling it out. RCB was the first team to officially book their spot after a convincing win against Punjab Kings in Dharamsala on Sunday. SRH booked their spot the next day after a victory over Chennai Super Kings in Chepauk which also confirmed Gujarat Titans' playoff berth. Two teams, Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants, are officially out of the running. RCB remain the favorites for a top two finish. They will finish in the top two regardless of their result against SRH if CSK beat GT on the 21st or if RCB defeat SRH in Hyderabad on the 22nd . If they do win their final game, they will finish first with 20 points, and even a loss shouldn't put them outside of the top two with a healthy net run rate of 1.065 as GT would need to defeat CSK by an extremely large margin to surpass them. It is up to Gujarat Titans to win their final game and hoping SRH lose to RCB to get into the top two. If they do win but lose their game, then a top two place will be decided by the net run rate among them and SRH, with all potentially on 18 points. SRH were already qualified after a brilliant win over CSK and look set to push GT for the top two if they beat RCB. They will automatically finish second in the table if they beat RCB and GT lose their game, but it would go down to net run rate if GT win. However, PBKS still remain very much alive for the fourth playoff spot despite their loss against RCB. PBKS can still finish with a maximum of 15 points and require both a win against LSG and a loss for Rajasthan Royals at least once, while Kolkata Knight Riders also need to falter and finish below PBKS on net run rate. Even a win with 13 points is plausible if other results go PBKS' way (e.g. RR losing at least one of their two matches and CSK losing both their games). RR look favorites among the chasing teams as their fate is in their own hands. They play excluded sides LSG and MI in their last two matches and should secure their qualification spot if they win both to finish on 16 points. However, even 14 points could be sufficient if CSK, PBKS and Delhi Capitals falter while MI beat KKR. The loss to SRH was a bad one for CSK as they now stand at 12 points with one game to play against GT and will finish on 14 if they beat GT. The top two finish between them and DC is likely going to go down to net run rate as CSK currently holds the advantage. DC's chance of qualification seems minimal because of their poor net run rate of -0.871 and require a win over KKR to get 14 points and an LSG win over PBKS while praying RR and CSK both lose their remaining two and one match respectively and GT beat CSK. CSK as they now stand at 12 points with one game to play against GT and will finish on 14 if they beat GT. The top two finish between them and DC is likely going to go down to net run rate as CSK currently holds the advantage.
