'It Was For My Mother': Sooryavanshi Reveals Reason Behind Unique Half-century Celebration Vs LSG
Lucknow Super Giants: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi revealed that the special hand gesture he made after reaching his half-century during Rajasthan Royals thrilling seven-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants was dedicated to his mother, saying the emotional celebration was personal because her name starts with the letter A. The young opener played one of the finest knocks of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, smashing a breathtaking 93 off just 38 balls to power RR to a stunning chase of 221 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. His innings, laced with 10 sixes, helped keep RR alive in the playoff race. Speaking after the match, Sooryavanshi finally explained the meaning behind the now-viral celebration he made after completing his fifty. I dedicated it to my mother. I didnt want to tell everyone because this is personal. Actually, it was for her. Her name starts with A, so I made it, he said in a video released by Rajasthan Royals on X. The youngster also admitted that he felt pressure early in the chase after a slow start, but said advice from opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal helped him stay calm. When I got 2-3 balls, I started feeling a bit of pressure. But Yashasvi Bhaiya said, You play 10 overs. Till then, they will be on the back foot. You dont take tension in the game. The score can be covered at any time, Sooryavanshi said. Despite his aggressive reputation, the left-hander looked unusually composed during the chase and said it was a conscious decision because of the importance of the match. It was a very important game. It was a challenge for the team. I wanted to keep playing until the game was over. Otherwise, the game would have been over earlier. But I will try to finish the game next time as well with this mindset, he said. Sooryavanshi also revealed a conversation he had with RR coach Kumar Sangakkara before the chase, saying he could sense pressure in the dressing room after the teams recent defeats. We were not doing well in the last three matches. Even today, when the score was 220, I could see he was under tension. But I was confident that if I backed my game, it would be done, he said.

IPL 2026: After Win Over LSG, RR Skipper Parag Urges Commentators To talk About Cricket
Indian Premier League: Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag has taken aim at television commentators and experts for making personal remarks during the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season, and urged them to respect players and keep their analysis limited to on-field happenings. Parag sat out of RRs seven-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants due to a recurring hamstring injury. Despite that, RR managed to get a crucial win which in turn has boosted their hopes of entering the playoffs. As far as the IPL is concerned, there are a lot of things happening outside this year. I feel the whole country loves cricket a lot. We, as players, try to give our best whenever we can. We perform according to the expectations of the crowd. So, I feel, we should all love cricket and look at it in the same way. Players are working very hard. It is very easy to say, if a team gets all out for 75 or 80 runs, that they do not know how to play or have the mindset to play. But before that game, there is a 34 days' preparation (period) to ensure how we can score 200250. But sometimes it doesn't happen. We are humans too and we make mistakes too. So, I feel, as much as it is happening outside, especially the commentators, their voices are reaching out to the people, I would request them to love cricket and talk about cricket, Parag told reporters at the end of the game. Parag, who has been named as India A vicecaptain for next months 50-over tri-series in Sri Lanka, said the sport must be treated with respect. The sport, which is the country's most important sport, and in which we are the best, I feel, (should be treated) with a little respect. We should only talk about cricket. We should not talk about anything else, he said. Talking about his mantra to block out outside noise, Parag said, I have understood one thing that you have been saying for the last four years, that no matter what I do, there will be talks. I have also understood that whatever talks are happening, it shouldn't affect my game, my form or my mindset because keyboard warriors are outsiders. Parag, who has been named as India A vicecaptain for next months 50-over tri-series in Sri Lanka, said the sport must be treated with respect.

IPL 2026: Can See Sooryavanshi Breaking Gayles Record And Making History, Says Kumble
Lucknow Super Giants: Former India captain Anil Kumble believes Rajasthan Royals opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi is on the cusp of making history in IPL 2026, saying the teenager can break Chris Gayles record for most sixes hit by a batter in a single season of the competition. Sooryavanshis scintillating 93 off 38 balls helped RR keep their knockout hopes alive in IPL 2026 with a commanding sevenwicket win over Lucknow Super Giants. The left-handed batter was at his brutal best by hammering 10 towering sixes in a breathtaking assault that powered RR to chase down 221 and sign off from their home matches at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on a high. In the process, he became the first Indian batter in IPL history to hit 50 sixes in a single season. Very few batters can hit sixes over cover with such ease. But Vaibhav Suryavanshi did it multiple times against Digvesh Rathi. I am glad people still have words to describe such talent. I am running out of my own vocabulary. This kid is very special. What stands out even more is his mindset. Every time he speaks, he sounds mature beyond his years. That is crucial at this age, especially with all the attention and praise coming his way. He understands that this is just the start. He said it himself after the match: 'This is the start of my journey. If my journey is long enough, I will create a few of these records.' He has already hit 53 sixes this IPL season. Chris Gayle holds the record for most sixes in a season with 59. RR have one more league game and then the playoffs. If they win, he will get more chances. I can see Vaibhav Suryavanshi breaking Gayle's record and making history, said Kumble on Star Sports. Wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel continued his good run by smashing an unbeaten 53 off 38 balls and Kumble had rich words of praise for him. Dhruv Jurel brings much-needed stability to Rajasthan's batting order. With Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi attacking from ball one at the top, they can play freely knowing Jurel is there to hold the innings together if early wickets fall. His strike rate may have dropped this season compared to previous years when he batted as a finisher. But now that he is batting in the top order, his consistency has improved. His fifty against LSG was his fifth half-century of the season. In 13 games, that is a solid return. Yes, he has had some ups and downs, but five fifties from your number three batter is something any team would take. Before Sooryavanshi and Jurel, stand-in captain Yashasvi Jaiswal was the aggressor in a 75run opening stand, including smashing a hattrick of boundaries off Akash Singh in a 23run over before launching into Mohsin Khan for smashing a six and three fours. Jaiswals early counterattack ensured RR had the perfect platform for Sooryavanshi and Jurel to unleash carnage on LSG bowlers. In a chase of 220, winning the powerplay is crucial. RR needed a flying start, but Vaibhav Suryavanshi began a little cautiously. That is when Yashasvi Jaiswal stepped up. He took on the bowlers and scored 43 quick runs. That aggressive knock gave RR the momentum they needed early on. Before Sooryavanshi and Jurel, stand-in captain Yashasvi Jaiswal was the aggressor in a 75run opening stand, including smashing a hattrick of boundaries off Akash Singh in a 23run over before launching into Mohsin Khan for smashing a six and three fours. Jaiswals early counterattack ensured RR had the perfect platform for Sooryavanshi and Jurel to unleash carnage on LSG bowlers.

Together, they made a steep chase look much easier than it actually was, concluded Kumble. Article Source: IANS

'He Has Four Or Five Levels To Unlock': Rayudu On Jurels Batting Potential
Lucknow Super Giants: Former India batter Ambati Rayudu believes Dhruv Jurel possesses extraordinary potential but still has 'four or five levels to unlock' in his batting after the wicketkeeper-batter's unbeaten knock helped Rajasthan Royals (RR) secure a seven-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2026. Chasing a daunting 221-run target at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, RR completed the chase with five balls to spare. While teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi grabbed headlines with a breathtaking 93 off just 38 balls, Jurels unbeaten 53 under pressure earned widespread praise for the calmness, game awareness, and composure he showed during the chase. Rayudu said Jurel already has the qualities of a complete batter and could become an even more dangerous T20 player if he improves his ball-striking ability further. I think he has at least four or five levels to unlock in his batting. He is one guy I feel who has extraordinary potential. He is so clean, so neat. He has such a good technique. He just needs to free up his bat swing a little bit. Im sure he will work with coaches during the off-season or whenever he gets time and become a much better ball striker than he is right now, Rayudu said on ESPNcricinfo. He also highlighted Jurels comfort against pace and spin, along with his awareness between the wickets, saying the RR batter already looks like a complete package.

Sooryavanshis explosive innings, featuring 10 sixes, laid the foundation for the successful chase, while Dhruv Jurel remained unbeaten on 53 to guide the hosts home and keep their playoff hopes alive. Speaking after the match, Sooryavanshi said the recognition coming from experienced players and former cricketers has been a proud moment for him. It feels good. Its a moment of pride. And yes, it feels good when so many seniors, cricketers, ex-cricketers, and our coaches talk to me. It gives me confidence, and it helps me in the game, he said in a video released by IPL on X. The youngster added that he is focused on maintaining his rhythm and continuing to play positively in the upcoming matches. My flow is going on. Its going on in the next match, and the tournament is going on in the next match. The more I contribute to the team, the more it helps, he said. The opener also revealed that RRs approach during the high-pressure chase was to stay relaxed and back their natural game instead of thinking too much about qualification scenarios. We all wanted to do what weve been doing. We wanted to enjoy and not put pressure. Its good cricket play well and back our strength. Thats the focus in the next match, he said. We dont have any focus on qualifications. Its in everyones mind if theres a chance. But were trying to do better day by day, he added. We all wanted to do what weve been doing.

'It's A Real Privilege To Watch Him Bat': Langer Heaps Praise On Sooryavanshi
Lucknow Super Giants: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) head coach Justin Langer has heaped praise on Rajasthan Royals batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after the 15-year-old's 93-run knock helped his side chase down a mammoth total of 221 runs in just 19.1 overs to boost their qualification chances. Langer described the teenager's batting as reathtaking and admitted it was a privilege to watch him bat. My gosh, he's so young. He's a brilliant, brilliant player and it's a real privilege to watch him bat, actually, Langer said in the post-match press conference. We've seen it all season. He's the leading run scorer. In all my time, I've seen some amazing players in 35 years of cricket. To see a young man bat like that, not just tonight, but throughout the series, is breathtaking, he added. Sooryavanshi's innings was laced with seven fours and ten sixes, and according to Langer, the Indian player is going to get much better with experience, as he is already shocking the big bowlers with his shots. I think the last game, Mitchell Starc, who's one of the all-time great white ball bowlers, he's bowling, and look at the expression on his face, Langer recalled. And Nortje, who's a world-class international bowler, and Sooryavanshi is hitting him. And the expression on their face is such that, 'what is happening here?' The scary thing going forward is, if the expressions on the face of Mitch Starc and Nortje and every bowler tell a story now, what about when he learns how to bat?

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.

Lucknow Super Giants: Rajasthan Royals teenage prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi turned heads with his match-winning 93 in his team's crucial victory over Lucknow Super Giants and drew high praise from ex-India batting coach Sanjay Bangar, who said he falls short of words every time he sees Sooryavanshi perform. Sooryavanshi let his bat do most of the talking at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, smashing a blistering 93 off just 38 balls as RR chased down 221 with ease. Opening alongside stand-in captain Yashasvi Jaiswal, the teenager helped RR race to 71 without loss in the powerplay before taking complete control of the chase after Jaiswals dismissal. He brought up his fifty in just 23 balls and later became the first Indian batter in IPL history to hit 50 sixes in a single season. He was eventually dismissed in the 14th over but not before taking the game away from LSG and putting RR on the brink of victory. Can't really explain it; words are not sufficient. They can't do justice to the kind of ability this young boy, this young prodigy, possesses. Some of those shots were extraordinary, to say the least. To hit over the cover boundary on a consistent basis, against pace, against spin, and whenever the ball was dug in short, was exceptional, Bangar told JioStar. The teenage batter's latest achievement made him the youngest player in IPL history to reach 500 runs in a season, beating Rishabh Pant, who hit the same milestone at 20 in 2018. Now, with 574 runs in IPL 2026, Sooryavanshi set a new record with a strike rate of 236.3, the highest ever in an IPL season for a player with over 500 runs, surpassing Andre Russells 204.8 in 2019 and Abhishek Sharmas 202.0 this season.

IPL 2026: Frustrated Rishabh Pant Allegedly Uses 'F-word' On National TV After 7-wicket Defeat To RR
Frustrated Rishabh Pant: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant delivered a blunt and straightforward assessment after his sides seven-wicket defeat to Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Tuesday, insisting that his side remains a f***ing good team despite slipping to another high-scoring loss in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. LSG, though eliminated from the play-offs race, posted a formidable 220/5 in 20 overs on a batting-friendly surface, but Rajasthan Royals overhauled the total in just 19.1 overs, as Donovan Ferreiras late strike sealed the chase at 225/3. Despite the defeat, Pant remained firm in his belief in the squads quality and character, stressing that results do not define their internal confidence. We are proud as a team regardless of what our situation is right now. The kind of team we have, we know we can win this. Regardless of anything, we are confident enough as a team and as individuals. It hasnt gone our way, and everyone knows that, but that doesnt take away the fact that we are a f***ing good team, the LSG skipper said after the loss. While acknowledging the opposition's quality of execution, Pant felt his side missed out on a slightly higher total after a strong start. I think there are a few ways to look at it. In the middle overs and then in the last over, the way Archer bowled, I think it was really good. But we could have actually scored five or ten runs more on this kind of wicket when you get that kind of start, and we just couldnt capitalise in the last over, Pant said. On the broader challenge of defending totals on such surfaces, Pant highlighted the limited margin for error and the importance of simplicity in execution under pressure. Its definitely a difficult one for sure because you always want to back your bowlers, but sometimes its hard. On a wicket like this, there is less margin for the bowlers, and having too many suggestions doesnt work out. Sometimes you have to keep a simple plan, keep focusing on one ball at a time, and just try to execute the plan, he added. Pant also pointed to the value of experience in crunch situations, noting how difficult it is to replace seasoned performers in high-pressure phases of the game. Experience is something youre always going to miss, regardless of whether things go good or bad, because experience cant be earned overnight. It takes years for people to gain that experience, and definitely in pressure situations, that is one thing which keeps you ahead for sure, he said. Pant also pointed to the value of experience in crunch situations, noting how difficult it is to replace seasoned performers in high-pressure phases of the game.

IPL: Sooryavanshis 93 keeps Rajasthan Royals playoff hopes alive

IPL 2026: Sooryavanshi, Jurel Power RR To Clinical 7-wicket Win Over LSG
Lucknow Super Giants: Rajasthan Royals (RR) pulled off a sensational chase at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Tuesday, overhauling the 221-run target set by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) with five balls to spare, riding on opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshis 93 and a composed yet explosive 53 not out from Dhruv Jurel in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 in Jaipur. In a match that swung between brute force and calculated composure, RRs batters dismantled LSGs attack and ensured there were no late stumbles as they jumped to fourth place in the points table, thereby keeping themselves alive in the playoff race. Chasing 221, RR began in ruthless fashion. Yashasvi Jaiswal set the tone immediately, carving and pulling Akash Singh for a string of boundaries in a 23-run opening over that set the tone for a powerplay dominated by the hosts. The introduction of pace only fueled the aggression, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, playing yet another fearless knock, joining the assault with clean hitting over cover and mid-wicket, as RR raced to 84/1 in the first eight overs. Jaiswals 43 off 23 balls ended when he edged Akash Maharaj Singh to Rishabh Pant, but by then the damage had been done. Sooryavanshi, despite a cautious start, dominated the middle overs, bringing up yet another rapid fifty in a season already defined by record-breaking strike rates. His innings of 93 off 38 balls, laced with 10 sixes, briefly placed RR in cruise control before Mohsin Khan dismissed him against the run of play. Even as LSG attempted to claw back through disciplined spells from Digvesh Singh Rathi and Mohsin, Jurel anchored the chase with remarkable calmness. He rotated strike intelligently, punished loose deliveries, and ensured the required rate never spiralled out of control. His partnership-building with Lhuan-dre Pretorius and later Donovan Ferreira steadied RR after brief hiccups. The match, however, was far from straightforward. LSG struck at crucial moments, Sooryavanshi fell just short of a century, while a dramatic 16th over saw a sharp run-out of Pretorius, injecting late tension into the chase. Yet RRs depth and composure held firm. With 33 needed off the last five overs, Jurel took charge, guiding RR through the final phase with controlled aggression. Ferreira provided a brief but vital hand before setting the stage for a composed finish. The decisive moment arrived in the 19th over. With RR needing just two off the final delivery, Donovan Ferreira stepped out to Shahbaz Ahmed and launched a clean, authoritative six over long-off to seal the chase emphatically. LSGs bowling effort was undermined by inconsistency, with Mayank Yadav and Prince Yadav showing flashes but lacking sustained control. Mohsin Khan (1/24) and Digvesh Singh Rathi offered resistance, but the total proved too small to defend against RRs relentless top order. The decisive moment arrived in the 19th over. With RR needing just two off the final delivery, Donovan Ferreira stepped out to Shahbaz Ahmed and launched a clean, authoritative six over long-off to seal the chase emphatically.

IPL 2026: Shami, Markram Miss As LSG Asked To Bat By Jaiswal-led RR
Lucknow Super Giants: Rajasthan Royals (RR) won the toss and elected to bowl against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their penultimate game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 league stage at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Tuesday. Three playoff spots have already been sealed, but the battle for the final berth is set to go down to the wire with five teams still in contention. Rajasthan Royals find themselves under pressure after three consecutive defeats, a slump that has seen them go from winning their first four matches to managing just two victories in their last eight games. Their struggles at Jaipur have only added to the concern, with RR losing all three matches at their original home venue this season. Another defeat today could leave their playoff hopes hanging by a thread, while a win would keep qualification in their own hands. Standing in their way are Lucknow Super Giants, a side already eliminated from the race but playing with renewed freedom. LSG looked far more relaxed and confident in their previous outing against Chennai Super Kings, and another strong performance on Tuesday could further open up the race for the final playoff spot. Winning the toss, RRs stand-in skipper Yashasvi Jaiswal said, We're going to bowl first, and I feel like it's a good wicket. Later on, there will be some dew, I hope. So, we are going to chase. Captaincy means a lot to me, and I'm always proud to represent the Rajasthan Royals franchise. Riyan had a hamstring injury, and he'll be fine soon. I hope so. So, he's not playing this game.

Want Pant To Become The Best Test Player That He Has Always Been, Says Agarkar
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: Chief selector Ajit Agarkar on Tuesday said he and his panel want wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant to become the best Test player that he has always been, after he was replaced as Test vice-captain by KL Rahul for the one-off game against Afghanistan and lost his spot in the ODI team to Ishan Kishan. Pant, 28, has won India a lot of Test matches with his aggressive batting, but doubts over his leadership abilities, including with Lucknow Super Giants being rooted to the bottom spot of the IPL 2026 points table, have meant that hes been relieved as vice-captain in the longer format. With his recent white-ball form not living up to the lofty expectations attached with him, Pant has been left out of the 50-over format as selectors brought in Kishan, who capped a stellar return to the T20I team by being a member of the T20 World Cup winning side, and has been in blistering form for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2026. I mean, Rishabh is an incredible Test player. I mean, obviously, he is not part of the one-day squad at the moment. We want him to become the best Test player that he has always been. I don't think there is any concern with his spot in the Test team. I think he is one of our main batters in that line-up. He had a really good tour of England till he got injured. So no, not I mean, I am sure he would like a few more runs. But he has always been very good in Test cricket. So, not as far as test cricket is concerned. At this point, yes, we have gone with two different options in one-day cricket. But in Test cricket, he remains one of our main players, said Agarkar in a virtual press conference. Rahul, meanwhile, has captained India in three Tests before, and Agarkar felt that having previous experience of being in the top job will keep the side in good stead if Shubman Gill suffers an injury. I mean, KL has been a Test captain before. Obviously, Rishabh was the vice-captain, and we want him to be the best batter that he can be, and that he has always been in Test cricket. So, no, there is no other reason. Futuristic, I mean, that's the best option we think at this point that we have as far as vice-captain with experience. In case, we saw during the South African series as well, when Shubman got injured, and KL provides us with the necessary experience that you need in case the situation arises. Plus, he has obviously had a really good tour of England and against the West Indies and has lots of experience, he added. Left-arm spin bowling all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel have been out of the Test and ODI team, respectively, with Harsh Dubey handed a call-up to both sides. Jadeja had picked up a knee niggle and was rested from Rajasthan Royals five-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals in New Delhi on Sunday night. I think Jadeja has just been rested for this Test. I think we just want to try and give the opportunity. He is aware of it. That's why he is not on the team. He still remains a very integral part of the test team. So, I think that we sort of didn't mention that at the start. It's just this test that he is not part of. With regards to one-day cricket, again, with 15-16 months left to that World Cup, somewhere around there, we want to obviously try and assess what our options are, particularly keeping in mind the conditions in South Africa, and give a little bit of exposure to some of the newer guys. I mean, we know what Ravindra Jadeja or Axar Patel can do, and this is the time we try to give some opportunity to some of the other guys. So, with regards to Test, he remains our number one spinner. It's only this test that we have not picked him or rested him, rather, elaborated Agarkar. Agarkar also touched upon other pacers, Mohammed Shami, who has been out of the national set-up after the 2025 Champions Trophy win, and Auqib Nabi, who picked 60 wickets in Jammu and Kashmir, winning its first-ever Ranji Trophy. While Agarkar said there was no discussion on Shami during the meeting, Nabis name did come up in the chat. I mean, no, because as far as we have been told, at this point, his body is allowing him to. I know he has played the domestic season and all that this year. But from the information that I have got, it seems that at this point, you know, T20 cricket is what he is sort of ready for. I mean, so there was no discussion regarding his name. Auqib Nabi, of course, is someone who has had, not just this season, but has done well last season. There is always a chat around that. You don't necessarily pick a lot of seamers when you pick a Test team in India. He was close, but at this point, we have gone with the three that we have picked. But there was certainly a chat around that. There is no doubt, he has had some incredible performances for Jammu and Kashmir. Asked if someone else apart from Jadeja, Akash Deep, and Harshit Rana are injured, Agarkar said, No, I can't think of anyone. Unless you think of somebody to ask me, I might be able to answer about the player. But no, I mean, Jadeja is obviously missing a Test that is clearly one of the guys. (Jasprit) Bumrah, obviously, is getting his workload up. Hopefully, he'll be back when we tour England. So, I can't think of anyone else that's missing because of injury or along those lines. So, unless you think of somebody, I'll answer the question. Asked if someone else apart from Jadeja, Akash Deep, and Harshit Rana are injured, Agarkar said, No, I can't think of anyone. Unless you think of somebody to ask me, I might be able to answer about the player. But no, I mean, Jadeja is obviously missing a Test that is clearly one of the guys.

IPL 2026: From Title Contenders To Early Exit - What Went Wrong For LSG This Season?
When Lucknow Super Giants: When Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) assembled their squad ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, they looked like one of the most balanced sides in the competition. A power-packed batting unit, experienced international names, proven Indian performers, and improved fast-bowling depth made them appear genuine title contenders on paper. Instead, the season unravelled into one of frustration, inconsistency, and missed opportunities. LSGs playoff hopes faded long before the final week of the league stage, with the side struggling to build rhythm across departments. While injuries and selection instability played a role, the larger problem was that the team never consistently clicked as a unit. One of the defining features of Lucknows season was their inability to sustain winning runs. Every time the side appeared ready to revive its campaign, another collapse followed. They showed flashes of brilliance in isolated games, dominant batting displays, strong chases, and moments of individual brilliance, but failed to maintain consistency over multiple matches. The contrast became particularly visible against stronger playoff contenders. LSG often remained competitive in the early phases of games before losing control in key moments, especially during the death overs with both bat and ball. Their defeat to the Chennai Super Kings in Chennai summed up the season perfectly. After posting a competitive total and appearing in control during the middle overs, Lucknow lost momentum late in the innings and failed to contain CSKs chase. Similar patterns repeated themselves throughout the campaign. No storyline defined LSGs season more than the struggles of captain Rishabh Pant. As the most expensive signing in IPL history, Pant arrived carrying enormous expectations. Lucknow invested heavily in him not only as a wicketkeeper-batter but also as the face of the franchise and long-term leader. However, the season never truly took off for him. Pants batting remained inconsistent throughout the campaign. At times, he looked caught between aggression and caution, often failing to convert starts into defining innings. Several dismissals came while attempting high-risk shots under pressure situations, reflecting both the burden of captaincy and the instability around him in the batting order. His leadership also came under scrutiny. Bowling changes, tactical decisions in tight games, and team combinations frequently raised questions, especially as LSG struggled to defend totals consistently. While Pant showed glimpses of his natural brilliance in a few cameos, the overall output fell well below the expectations attached to a marquee signing. Nicholas Pooran endured a similarly uneven campaign. One of the most destructive T20 batters in world cricket, Pooran was expected to provide finishing power and middle-order stability. Instead, his season mirrored LSGs larger inconsistency. He struggled badly during the first half of the tournament, with questions emerging over both his form and strike rotation against spin. Although he recovered later with a series of aggressive knocks, including late-order hitting masterclasses in a few wins, the damage had already been done. LSGs middle-order often looked over-dependent on moments of individual brilliance rather than sustained partnerships. Players like Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad contributed useful cameos, but the batting unit rarely delivered complete collective performances. Among the few consistent positives for Lucknow was Mitchell Marsh. The Australian all-rounder played some of the sides most impactful innings and frequently carried the batting through difficult phases. Whether attacking during the Power-play or stabilising the innings after early wickets, Marsh brought intent and clarity that was often missing elsewhere in the lineup. In several matches, his performances kept LSG competitive despite failures around him. But one player alone could not rescue a campaign built on inconsistent support systems. If the batting lacked consistency, the bowling lacked control. LSG repeatedly struggled in the death overs, both while defending totals and trying to restrict momentum in high-scoring games. The absence of a settled bowling combination hurt them throughout the tournament. Fitness concerns surrounding Mayank Yadav proved especially damaging. After emerging as one of the breakout fast bowlers in recent IPL seasons, Mayank was expected to become Lucknows X-factor with raw pace and wicket-taking ability. But injuries and interrupted rhythm prevented him from making a sustained impact. Meanwhile, senior bowlers failed to consistently close out games under pressure. On batting-friendly surfaces, particularly in night matches, LSGs attack often looked short of both variation and execution. Opposition teams regularly targeted the final overs, turning competitive matches decisively in their favour. Another major issue was the lack of stability in combinations. Throughout the season, LSG frequently altered batting positions, overseas combinations, and bowling roles in search of the right balance. While some of those changes were forced by injuries, the constant reshuffling prevented the side from developing defined roles. At different stages, the team looked unsure whether it wanted to play aggressively from ball one or adopt a more controlled approach through the middle overs. That uncertainty is reflected in their cricket. Unlike the top teams, who developed clear identities as the season progressed, Lucknow often appeared reactive rather than proactive. What makes LSGs campaign particularly disappointing is the quality that existed within the squad. On paper, they possessed explosive finishers, experienced internationals, young Indian talent, and genuine pace options. But IPL seasons are rarely decided by potential alone. At different stages, the team looked unsure whether it wanted to play aggressively from ball one or adopt a more controlled approach through the middle overs. That uncertainty is reflected in their cricket. Unlike the top teams, who developed clear identities as the season progressed, Lucknow often appeared reactive rather than proactive. Also Read: Live Cricket Score With two clashes remaining before they close their campaign this season, both against teams still in the playoff race, LSG will look to play a spoilsport and finish on a high, thereby aiming to trouble Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings, who fight for the last remaining spot in the top four.

In a powerful confluence of heritage, craftsmanship and social impact, M3M Foundation, in collaboration with Jaipuri Banno, unveiled its much-awaited couture showcase, “ Ada-E-Hind ”, at Times Lifestyle Week 2026 held at Grand Hyatt, Gurgaon. M3M Foundation, in Collaboration with Jaipuri Banno, Unveils “Ada-E-Hind” at Times Lifestyle Week 2026 Presented under the thematic concept Threads of India: Woven Stories, Shared Soul, the showcase celebrated India’s timeless textile traditions while creating a national platform for grassroots artisans and emerging designers from rural communities. Following the success of Dream Weavers 1.0 at Times Lifestyle Week 2024, M3M Foundation once again returned to the runway to amplify hidden talent and bring India’s craft heritage to the forefront. Last year’s initiative introduced six young rural designers to the world of fashion. This year, the Foundation deepened that vision by taking students directly to the source of India’s most iconic crafts. Under the visionary leadership of Dr. Payal Kanodia, Chairperson and Trustee, M3M Foundation enabled four students from its iMpower Academy for Skills — Aanchal, Geeta, Nishu and Nancy — to embark on an immersive journey across India. Over the course of three months, the young creators travelled through narrow streets, artisan homes and modest workshops across the country, often in economically vulnerable communities where craftsmanship remains the backbone of household livelihoods. They learned directly from weavers, embroiderers, printers and dyers, understanding not only the techniques but also the stories, struggles and traditions woven into every thread. The journey began in Lucknow, where the students explored delicate Chikankari and Zardozi embroidery. In Varanasi, they witnessed the intricate process of Banarasi silk weaving. In Patiala, they learned the vibrant art of Phulkari embroidery. In Kanchipuram and Chennai, they experienced the richness of Kanjivaram silk and Kalamkari. In Bhuj and surrounding artisan villages such as Ajrakhpur and Bhujodi, they discovered Ajrakh printing, Bandhani and handloom traditions. In Rajkot, they observed the highly complex Patola weaving technique, and in Rajasthan, they immersed themselves in the timeless craft of hand block printing. Mentored by Neetu Mahajan, Director of Jaipuri Banno and designer of the collection, the students transformed their learnings into a contemporary fashion narrative rooted in heritage and purpose. The result was a stunning collection of 33 ensembles, each thoughtfully designed to carry the spirit of the regions and communities from which they emerged. Each garment represented countless hours of artisan labour and embodied the cultural memory of communities that have preserved these traditions for generations. The collection was brought to life on the runway by acclaimed actor Neetu Chandra as the lead showstopper, joined by digital creator Garima Chaurasia and Nisha Yadav in a special showstopper appearance. They were accompanied by Neetu Mahajan and the four young creators from iMpower Academy, and Dr. Aishwarya Mahajan, Managing Trustee and President, M3M Foundation, receiving an enthusiastic response and standing ovation from the audience. Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Payal Kanodia said, “ At M3M Foundation, we believe that true empowerment begins when hidden talent is given visibility, dignity and opportunity. Ada-E-Hind is not merely a fashion showcase; it is a tribute to India’s artisans, whose hands preserve our cultural soul, and to the young creators who prove that dreams from the smallest villages can reach the grandest stages .” Through its iMpower Academy for Skills implemented by the National Institute of Education and Development (NIED), M3M Foundation continues to equip young people from underserved communities with vocational training, mentorship and exposure. Ada-E-Hind extends this mission by connecting education with heritage, creativity and dignified livelihoods. With Threads of India and the unveiling of Ada-E-Hind, M3M Foundation and Jaipuri Banno have once again demonstrated that when purpose meets creativity, fashion becomes a powerful medium for recognition, preservation and social transformation. About M3M Foundation M3M Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the M3M Group, working across education, health, livelihoods, sports, and environment. With a reach across 22 states and over 1,300 villages, the Foundation has positively impacted more than 5 million lives, driven by a vision of inclusive, sustainable, and transformative nation-building.
