Kohli, Suryavanshi To Light Up IPL As Stampede Dead Remembered
The IPL roars back into action on Saturday super-charged by India's home T20 World Cup triumph, but with sombre memories of the 11 fans who died in a stampede celebrating Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bengaluru's title last season. The richest league in cricket launches with RCB hosting Sunrisers Hyderabad at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, where June's title party turned to tragedy a day after Bengaluru's first IPL crown. Eleven supporters aged between 14 and 29 died outside the stadium in a crush. The club, sold on Tuesday for nearly $1.8 billion to an Indian-US consortium, will leave 11 seats permanently empty at the stadium while players will wear black armbands. Kohli, who has retired from Tests and T20 internationals, guided RCB to their maiden title on the 18th attempt and shows no sign of slowing down aged 37. He will be hungrier than ever, especially after lifting the IPL trophy last season, former India pace bowler Irfan Pathan told host broadcaster JioHotstar. He will have the same kind of passion when he comes back this season. He will want to lift the trophy once again. The spotlight will also be on teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Suryavanshi, who turns 15 on Friday, will open the batting for Rajasthan Royals this season. The prodigy starred for India in their U19 World Cup win in Harare last month, smashing a record-breaking 175 off 80 balls in the final against England. - 'Go hit, don't worry' - Suryavanshi burst onto the IPL scene last year as a 14-year-old, hitting a six off the first ball he faced on his debut. A few days later he romped to a 35-ball century, the second fastest in IPL history. The Royals and fellow opener Yashasvi Jaiswal are keen to shield Suryavanshi from the glare of publicity. There will be hype and pressure naturally, said captain Riyan Parag. Jaiswal is more than capable of handling that. For Vaibhav, the role will be just to go, hit, and not to worry. India's T20 World Cup win produced new heroes, including opener-wicketkeeper Sanju Samson and all-rounder Shivam Dube, who are both with five-time winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Samson, named player of the World Cup after his 321 runs in India's last three matches propelled them to the title, begins his first season with Chennai. Two-time World Cup-winning captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, 44, will continue to defy age in CSK's yellow, batting at number seven under skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad. Some overseas stars will miss the start, including Australia's pace trio Pat Cummins (Hyderabad), Mitchell Starc (Delhi) and Josh Hazlewood (RCB) because of fitness concerns and workload management. England's Ben Duckett (Delhi) has withdrawn to focus on international cricket, leaving him facing a potential two-season IPL ban. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The final is scheduled for May 31, but only the fixtures for the first two weeks have been announced because of elections in several Indian states.
Skipper Gaikwad, Samson Set To Form CSKs Opening Pair In IPL 2026
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ruturaj Gaikwad dropped a hint about the team's opening combination for the Indian Premier League edition, revealing he, along with wicketkeeper batter Sanju Samson, will open the innings in IPL 2026. CSK who had a dismal campaign last year and their top order was a major weakness. They had tried multiple combinations, but all led to disaster. The five-time winners then tried Ayush Mhatre at the top, and he provided some brisk starts. But with CSK roping in Sanju Samson for IPL 2026, the franchise opted to go in with an experienced pair. During the IPL 2026 captain's meet in Mumbai, Gaikwad was asked about CSK's opening combination, and the skipper confirmed that he will return to the top of the order, partnering with newly added member in Samson Samson was traded in from Rajasthan Royals to CSK ahead of the auction in a major move as the five-time champions traded out Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran to RR. Last year, CSK had struggled to find stability at the top. Gaikwad himself batted at No. 3 for a large part of the season, while the team rotated between Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway and Rahul Tripathi as openers. No combination worked for CSK until youngsters Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis came as replacements and gave the team some much-needed aggression in the powerplay. Joining as a replacement player last season, Mhatre amassed 240 runs in seven innings, averaging 34.28 at a striking rate of 188.97, including a standout 94 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), while Brevis scored 225 runs in six innings at the strike rate of 180.
