IPL 2026: Sooryavnshi, Archer Power RR To Qualifier 2 With 47-run Victory Over SRH
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Teenage star Vaibhav Sooryavanshi delivered one of the best innings in Indian Premier League (IPL) knockout history before Jofra Archer tore through the top order as Rajasthan Royals beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 47 runs in the Eliminator of IPL 2026 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh. With this win, the Rajasthan Royals advanced to Qualifier 2, where they will meet the Gujarat Titans. Sooryavanshi scored an incredible 97 off just 28 balls, leading RR to a total of 243 for 8. This score proved much too high for SRH, even though they launched a brave counterattack in their chase. The 15-year-old hit a 16-ball fifty, tying Suresh Rainas record for the fastest half-century in an IPL playoff. He also surpassed Chris Gayle for the most sixes in a T20 tournament. He missed out on Gayles record for the fastest IPL century by three runs when he top-edged Praful Hinge to deep third while on 97, but he had thoroughly disrupted SRHs bowling strategy. Pat Cummins started with defensive field placements and heavy yorkers, but Sooryavanshi's assault turned the Power-play into total chaos. RR raced to 63 without losing a wicket in four overs and reached 125 for 1 in just eight. Meanwhile, Yashasvi Jaiswal struggled to 29 off 29 balls in what became one of the oddest supporting roles in T20 cricket. The momentum hardly slowed after Sooryavanshi's dismissal. Dhruv Jurel slammed a 20-ball fifty, dismantling Cummins with scoops, pulls, and straight hits as RR surged to 192 for 3 in 13.5 overs. Riyan Parag contributed 26, while late efforts from Donovan Ferreira and Ravindra Jadeja pushed RR past 240, despite a disciplined finish from Nitish Kumar Reddy. In pursuit of 244, SRH started in disarray. Archer struck on the second ball of the innings with a brutal short delivery, forcing Abhishek Sharma (0) to glove the ball to the keeper. However, SRH did not give up easily. Ishan Kishan unleashed 33 off 11 while Travis Head joined the early assault, helping SRH reach 51 for 1 in 2.4 overs in a thrilling exchange. Archer, however, changed the game entirely. Kishan (33) edged a catch to cover while attempting another aggressive shot, and soon after, Nandre Burger dismissed Ravichandran Smaran (1) with a hard-length delivery. Archer then bowled Head (17) with a 150kph delivery that hit the top of off stump. SRH fell to 57 for 4 in 4.4 overs, with Archer once again making a significant impact at a crucial stage of the tournament. Heinrich Klaasen (18) briefly raised hopes with an impressive six off legspinner Yash Raj Punja, but RR successfully reviewed his lbw after he missed a reverse sweep. SRH kept attacking with Nitish Kumar Reddy and Impact Player Salil Arora, whose 50-run partnership came off just 19 balls, but RR continued to take wickets. Jadeja dismissed Reddy for 38 off 20 by restricting his movement, while Pat Cummins (1) fell while trying to clear long-on, with Archer making a fine catch at the boundary. Arora continued his fightback and added 24 runs with Shivang Kumar, who then added 24 further with Eshan Malinga, but the fall of wickets continued for SRH as RR cruised to victory by 47 runs. Jofra Archer finished with the surreal figures of 4-0-58-3, expensive on paper, especially after even Shivang Kumar took him on in a 16-run 17th over - but the numbers barely captured his impact on the Eliminator. Archer struck with the second ball of the chase to remove Abhishek Sharma, then returned to dismiss the dangerous Ishan Kishan and blasted through Travis Head with a 150kph thunderbolt. Those three wickets at the top of the order ultimately tilted the match decisively in the Rajasthan Royals favour. Jadeja, Burger, and Sushant took two wickets each. Arora continued his fightback and added 24 runs with Shivang Kumar, who then added 24 further with Eshan Malinga, but the fall of wickets continued for SRH as RR cruised to victory by 47 runs.

IPL 2026: Vaibhav Sooryavanshis Opening Blitz Guides RR To 243/8 Vs SRH In Eliminator
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi delivered one of the most incredible innings in the history of the knockout stage of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as he scored 97 runs off 28 balls, leaving Sunrisers Hyderabad stunned and leading Rajasthan Royals to 243/8 in 20 overs in the Eliminator of the IPL 2026 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh. The 15-year-old set records with a remarkable display of hitting. He reached his fifty in just 16 balls, matching the fastest in an IPL playoff, alongside Suresh Rainas effort in 2014. Sooryavanshi also broke Chris Gayle's record for the most sixes in a T20 tournament. Just three runs shy of the fastest IPL hundred, he fell for 97 off 28 balls after completely dismantling SRHs bowling strategy and turning the powerplay into chaos. Pat Cummins used an unusual defensive strategy, placing deep square leg and deep midwicket for Sooryavanshi. He bowled almost exclusively full and straight to limit Sooryavanshis scoring opportunities. The plan almost worked for three balls until one well-placed delivery sailed over mid-off for six. Rajasthan Royals were nine without loss after the first over, and things quickly worsened from there. Eshan Malinga, chosen over Praful Hinge as the new bowler, faced a similar outcome. Sooryavanshi hooked a surprise short ball over backward square leg, and Rajasthan raced to 20 for 0 in two overs. Cummins stuck to his yorker-heavy tactic, but the margin for error was slim. Two full deliveries were hit for four and six before Sooryavanshi uppercut a short ball and flat-batted a slower delivery straight down the ground. By the fourth over, he had scored 36 off 10 balls, with RR at an astonishing 63 without loss. The onslaught continued against Sakib Hussain, who was hit over extra cover, long-off, and behind square in an over that saw Sooryavanshi surpass Gayles six-hitting record. At the other end, Yashasvi Jaiswal had one of the strangest supporting roles in T20 history. He crawled to 19 off 16 while watching his teenage partner dominate every possible delivery. Sooryavanshi seemed on track to break Gayles 30-ball IPL century record when he targeted Hinge, but after reaching 97 off 28, he top-edged an attempted uppercut to deep third. The innings ended with RR at 125 for 1 in eight overs, leaving the crowd in disbelief at what they had just seen. Play steadied briefly as Shivang Kumar allowed only four runs in the next over. Jaiswal eventually fell for a run-a-ball 29 while trying to clear long-off. However, RR kept their momentum going. Dhruv Jurel seamlessly carried on with a fierce attack of his own. He first slog-swept Shivang for six, then took on Cummins in the 12th over with a scoop over short fine leg, a pulled six, and a drilled boundary past long-off from a half-volley. RR surged to 168 for 2 in 12 overs, with Jurel reaching 32 off 13. Jurel quickly reached his sixth fifty of the season in just 20 balls, uppercutting Hinge over deep third for a remarkable boundary before falling on the next ball while trying another pull. By then, RR had raced to 192 for 3 in 13.5 overs. The innings began to stall slightly as wickets fell in clusters. Riyan Parag (26) was dismissed, and five balls later, Dasun Shanaka (5) misjudged a shot off Malinga to long-on. But even at 220 for 5 after 17 overs, RR still had Ravindra Jadeja and Jofra Archer ready, along with Shubham Dubey available as the Impact Player. Donovan Ferreira and Ravindra Jadeja scored 20 runs in just 12 balls towards the end. Their partnership was often risky, with chaotic running between the wickets. It ended in the 19th over when Ferreira was run out trying to take a second run that wasnt there. Five balls later, Jofra Archer was out after Abhishek Sharma made a great catch at the long-on boundary. Nitish Kumar Reddy finished strongly for Sunrisers Hyderabad, giving away just five runs in the 19th over with a series of precise wide yorkers and lines. Another tight final over limited Rajasthan Royals to 243 for 8, despite the earlier onslaught in the innings. Donovan Ferreira and Ravindra Jadeja scored 20 runs in just 12 balls towards the end.

ED Raids 17 Locations In Parimatch Betting Probe, Seizes Cash And Freezes Rs 3.8 Crore
Mumbai Zonal Office: The Directorate of Enforcement's (ED) Mumbai Zonal Office conducted searches at 17 locations across Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Delhi, Gujarat, Daman and Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), in connection with an ongoing probe into the Cyprus-based illegal online betting platform Parimatch. During the raids, the agency seized movable assets worth around Rs 1.56 crore, including cash amounting to nearly Rs 1.2 crore. The ED also froze approximately Rs 3.8 crore lying in various bank accounts. Several incriminating documents and digital devices were recovered during the search operations. The ED initiated the investigation on the basis of an FIR registered by the Cyber Police Station, Mumbai, against Parimatch.com for allegedly duping users through online betting operations. According to investigators, the platform lured investors with promises of high returns and is suspected to have generated more than Rs 3,000 crore in a year. The investigation has revealed that Parimatch and its associates allegedly operated through a complex network of mule accounts, payment intermediaries, and financial inclusion channels to collect, layer and transfer user funds. Officials said that in several instances, user withdrawals were processed without any direct outward payment from accounts controlled by the platform. Instead, deposits made by other users were routed directly into the withdrawing users bank accounts or UPI IDs in multiple tranches to conceal the money trail and avoid direct payment linkage. Investigators further found that user deposits and withdrawals were routed through multiple current accounts opened in the names of software, fintech, and technology-related entities, many of which were engaged in legitimate business activities. These accounts were allegedly used to collect user deposits and route payouts under the guise of vendor payments, business transactions and payment gateway services. The ED also uncovered the alleged misuse of Banking Correspondent (BC) networks, mobile money transfer agents, Grahak Seva Kendras, Cash Management Services (CMS), local kirana stores, and retail outlets for processing payouts and movement of funds linked to the platform. According to the probe, user funds were routed through retailers and Grahak Seva Kendras operating under BC networks. The funds were first transferred to retailers, who then passed them to BC agents. The BCs subsequently recharged retailer wallets, which were later used to make payouts to Parimatch users, thereby masking the actual source and trail of funds. The investigation further revealed that certain agents allegedly diverted cash received through CMS channels and adjusted it against RTGS transfers sourced from deposits made by Parimatch users. The cash was then allegedly transferred outside India through hawala channels. The ED said Parimatch aggressively promoted its betting platform through surrogate advertisements under the names Parimatch Sports and Parimatch News. Unlike several other betting platforms, Parimatch allegedly adopted a hyperlocal marketing strategy by sponsoring teams in local cricket leagues across more than 15 states, apart from hockey and football tournaments. The investigation further revealed that certain agents allegedly diverted cash received through CMS channels and adjusted it against RTGS transfers sourced from deposits made by Parimatch users. The cash was then allegedly transferred outside India through hawala channels. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The ED said it has so far frozen assets worth Rs 112 crore in the case.

IPL 2026: Vaibhavs Mindset Remains The Same In Any Game,' Says Kumble Ahead Of SRH Clash
Indian Premier League: Former India captain Anil Kumble believes young Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has the temperament and maturity to handle the pressure of Wednesdays Eliminator clash between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the New International Stadium in Chandigarh. Kumble said the 15-year-old batters fearless approach and game awareness make him a special talent despite his young age. Vaibhav Suryavanshi will be eager to prove himself in the eliminator. He managed only four runs against MI in the last game, so this is a fresh opportunity, Kumble told Jio Hotstar. I don't think he sees this as a high-pressure knockout game. He should just go out and play his natural game, he added. The former India coach pointed to Vaibhavs crucial 90-plus knock against Lucknow Super Giants earlier in the season, saying the innings showed the youngsters ability to perform under pressure. He is remarkably mature for a 15-year-old. We saw that in his 90-plus knock against LSG, where he helped Rajasthan win a must-win match, Kumble observed. Rajasthan had to win their last two games to qualify, so that innings was under serious pressure as well. Yet, he played with the same freedom, he added. Kumble further stated that Vaibhavs mindset and approach remain unchanged regardless of the occasion, which he believes is a rare quality in a teenager. I don't think he will change his approach just because it's an eliminator. If the ball is in his slot, he will go for it. But if the situation demands, he also knows when to take his time and build an innings. That awareness is rare at his age, Kumble said. Kumble further stated that Vaibhavs mindset and approach remain unchanged regardless of the occasion, which he believes is a rare quality in a teenager.

'SRH Have More Match-winners Than RR,' Says Kumble Ahead Of Eliminator
PCA New International Stadium: Former India captain Anil Kumble believes Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) hold a clear edge over Rajasthan Royals in Wednesdays IPL 2026 Eliminator, saying Hyderabad possesses greater depth and more match-winners across departments. Analysing the knockout clash at the PCA New International Stadium in Chandigarh, Kumble said SRHs balanced squad makes them favourites against a Rajasthan side heavily dependent on a handful of players. If you compare the two teams man for man, SRH have more match-winners. Rajasthan, on the other hand, relies heavily on a few individuals Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, and Jofra Archer, Kumble told Jio Hotstar. The former India coach added that Rajasthans fortunes could largely depend on whether their key players deliver in the pressure game. If those three don't fire, their batting and bowling both look thin. That could be the difference in a knockout game, he added. Kumble also pointed to the league-stage clash between the two sides earlier this season as a major turning point in SRHs campaign. He highlighted the impact made by young pacers Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain, who made their IPL debuts in that match. The game that Sunrisers Hyderabad would remember dearly is the one against Rajasthan Royals of the league phase, where Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain made their IPL debuts. That was a turning point for Sunrisers Hyderabad this season, Kumble noted. Before that game, they had a different playing combination. After bringing in those young bowlers, they found a winning formula. Hinge and Hussain tore through RR's top order in that game, he added. Kumble further suggested SRH could once again look towards Hinge for the Eliminator and hinted that the youngster may replace Harshal Patel in the playing XI.

self-styled-godman-asaram-acquitted-of-gang-rape-charges-but-hc-upholds-life-term-in-minor-rape-case
Self-styled godman Asaram received partial relief from the Rajasthan High Court on Wednesday after he was acquitted of charges related to gang rape and sexual assault on a child under the IPC and POCSO Act. However, the High Court upheld his conviction for the rape of a minor, which continues to carry life imprisonment. The court directed Asaram to surrender in view of the conviction. He is currently out on temporary bail, which was extended by seven days on Monday. Asaram was convicted on April 25, 2018, for sexually assaulting a minor student at his ashram and was sentenced to life imprisonment under multiple provisions of the IPC, the POCSO Act, and the Juvenile Justice Act. A division bench comprising Justice Arun Monga and Justice Yogendra Kumar Purohit acquitted Asaram of charges under IPC Section 376(D) and Sections 5(G)/6 of the POCSO Act. The court also discharged him under Section 120(B) of the IPC related to criminal conspiracy.

New International Cricket Stadium: Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins shared his thoughts on handling the pressure of the playoffs and needing to win three games to reclaim the title, stating that the team, instead of being more conservative, will try to be even more aggressive. SRH, who remain the only team to win the trophy coming from the Eliminator in the playoffs during their title run in 2016, will lock horns with Rajasthan Royals in the Eliminator on Wednesday evening at the New International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh. I think you want to keep a lot of things similar to what got you into the finals. But theres also a bit more pressure, a few more nerves, so you want to acknowledge that. I always like to think, How are you going to look back on that game with no regrets? So, thats always kind of my mentality going into a final. Instead of being more conservative, try and be even more aggressive. We have got to win three in a row to win it. Weve won more than that throughout the season. We won five in a row at one stage, so its possible. These are teams that we know quite well. So, yeah, its not going to be easy, but I feel like we can do it, Cummins told JioStar. Its always a balance of, as a bowler, understanding what you do well and how youre going to bowl to your strengths. But when there are probably one or two players in every lineup who can take the game away from the opposition, you do spend a little bit longer working on a Plan B or Plan C. So, yeah, well plan for him. Even though he got a hundred against us last time, I thought there were times when we actually bowled quite well to him and kept him quiet. At other times, he got away from us. So, well learn from that, he added. While SRH have completed a league double over RR season, Cummins gave his take on whether beating RR twice in league phase would hold any relevance heading into the Eliminator. Youre obviously starting from scratch again, but you do take learnings from previous games. Weve played them twice. Weve had a good look at a lot of their players. A lot of our guys can look back at those games where theyve had success and lean on that heading into the finals. So, its always nice coming up against a team that youve had some success against, said Cummins. Speaking on taking learnings from the previous fixture for bowling plans to Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who has been RRs top run-scorer in IPL 2026 so far, accumulating 583 runs in 14 matches at an average of 41.64 and a strike rate of 232.27.

BSF boosted morale of people living in frontier districts during Operation Sindoor: Amit Shah
Bikaner, May 26: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday praised the BSF for its role during Operation Sindoor, saying the force did not only guard the border firmly but also boosted the morale of the people living in frontier districts. Addressing BSF personnel at the Sanchu border outpost in Rajasthan's Bikaner district, Shah paid tribute to more than 2,000 BSF personnel who have laid down their lives since the force was raised. He said BSF jawans have served in extreme conditions ranging from deserts and dense forests to snow-covered regions with extreme climate conditions, displaying courage, discipline and the spirit of supreme sacrifice. The sacrifice of these personnel is a debt on 140 crore Indians and the nation is proud of them, Shah said. The home minister also inaugurated women's barracks at the outpost and said women personnel had proved their capabilities by performing beyond expectations in border security duties. He said infrastructure for women personnel was being expanded and facilities at all border posts would be strengthened by 2030. Referring to the 1965 India-Pakistan war, Shah said the Sanchu outpost holds historical significance as security personnel had successfully defended it despite heavy attacks by Pakistani forces. He also highlighted steps being taken to improve border infrastructure in Rajasthan, including road construction, new fencing designs and water pipeline connectivity to 180 border posts. Shah said the Centre had expanded the BSF's jurisdiction to 50 kilometres from the International Border, keeping in mind the emerging security challenges such as infiltration, smuggling and drone-based narcotics trafficking. Shah said border security could no longer rely solely on traditional methods and called for close coordination among state police forces and state administrations to strengthen the security grid. He also stressed the need to remain vigilant against demographic changes caused by cross-border infiltration and said agencies should closely monitor activities in villages located near the border.

NEEV Foundation Launches 'Iss Garmi, Farq Nazar Aayega' Summer Relief Campaign Across Six States
With temperatures breaching 45°C across large parts of India, NEEV Foundation has mounted a large-scale summer relief campaign, “ Iss Garmi, Farq Nazar Aayega ,” targeting outdoor workers, the general public, stray animals and birds bearing the brunt of this season’s extreme heat. The initiative is being rolled out across six states including Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Maharashtra. NEEV Foundation launches ‘Iss Garmi, Farq Nazar Aayega’ summer relief campaign across six states NEEV Foundation is deploying 60 relief vans to distribute clean, cold drinking water at high-footfall public areas and directly to those working long hours in the open, including traffic police personnel, delivery executives, construction workers, street vendors and autorickshaw drivers. Alongside water, the vans will distribute ORS pouches and protective caps to counter heat exposure and help replenish minerals lost to excessive perspiration. Acknowledging that the crisis extends beyond human welfare, the Foundation has installed water tanks for stray animals and placed bird feeders and water trays across multiple locations. The campaign is anchored in a simple idea of access and empathy. As the foundation describes it: “The thirsty always come to the well. This summer, we decided to take the well to the thirsty.” Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Vivek Patni, Director – Wonder Cement and Founder of Neev Foundation said, “India’s summers are becoming increasingly harsh for people who spend most of their day outdoors. Through this campaign, we wanted to create immediate, accessible relief for those who keep our cities functioning despite extreme weather conditions. Sometimes the most meaningful interventions are also the simplest, whether it is offering a glass of water, a moment of shade or basic support during difficult conditions .” He added, “ NEEV was founded on the belief that social responsibility begins with showing up for people when they need support the most. We hope this campaign also encourages citizens to participate in small acts of care, from keeping water outside homes for birds and stray animals to supporting delivery personnel and outdoor workers during peak summer hours. Collective action often begins with individual awareness. Sometimes, a small beginning brings a big change and starts a revolution .” The campaign carries a deliberate public mobilisation intent, seeking to deepen community participation in heat relief at a time when rising temperatures are emerging as a sustained challenge across urban and rural India. The seasonal effort is part of a broader development mandate. NEEV Foundation’s Rural Development Centre in Nimbahera anchors its long-term work, which spans skill development for women under the Hunar programme, community infrastructure through Sanrachna, educational support under Udaan, healthcare outreach through Arogyam and sustainability initiatives under Eco Green.

Arshdeep Singh Goes For 'digital Reset', Deletes Major Chunk Of Instagram Posts
Indian Premier League: India pacer Arshdeep Singh sent social media into overdrive after dramatically cleaning up his Instagram account, deleting approximately 200 posts and reels, leaving his profile with just 44 posts, which are mostly advertisements and paid partnership posts. The sudden digital reset saw Arshdeeps profile shrink to barely over 40 posts, with several viral uploads disappearing overnight, including his widely shared reel with Virat Kohli from Indias Champions Trophy 2025 celebrations. Most of the surviving uploads revolve around family moments, professional milestones, endorsements, and select collaborative content. While rumours quickly surfaced claiming the Punjab Kings fast bowler had erased all traces of his IPL franchise, that was not the case. His latest visible cricket-related post includes a Punjab Kings team photograph captioned: Sabar. Shukar. Punjab. The online activity has intensified speculation around whether the 27-year-old is attempting a personal rebrand, distancing himself from recent controversies, or simply stepping away from the noise following a turbulent season both on and off the field. Arshdeep endured an inconsistent campaign in the 2026 edition of the Indian Premier League. Despite finishing as Punjab Kings leading wicket-taker with 14 wickets in as many matches, his performances fluctuated throughout the tournament as the franchise failed to secure a playoff berth. The left-arm seamer also found himself under scrutiny in recent weeks after an alleged racial comment directed at Mumbai Indians batter Tilak Varma circulated widely online ahead of PBKS clash against the MI. The remark sparked criticism across social media, with former cricketers and fans demanding accountability and a formal review of the incident.

Veteran batting great Virat Kohli and 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will be in the spotlight as the T20 Indian Premier League spans the generations in the playoffs beginning on Tuesday. There are 22 years between the 37-year-old Kohli, who helped power defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru to the top of the regular season standings, and teenage prodigy Sooryavanshi whose batting fireworks have been the talk of the IPL season. Kohli and Bengaluru will meet Gujarat Titans in the first qualifying play-off in Dharamsala on Tuesday with the winner going straight into Sunday's final in Ahmedabad. Sooryavanshi and Rajasthan Royals sealed the final play-off berth only on Sunday and will meet Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday in Chandigarh, where the losers will go home. The winner will face the loser of Tuesday's qualifying playoff in the final eliminator on Friday in Chandigarh. We don't pick age, we pick ability, Rajasthan head coach Kumar Sangakkara said, referring to the 15-year-old rising star. All guys, young and old, have done well to drag us to qualification. England fast bowler Jofra Archer has also been instrumental in Rajasthan's campaign, scoring 32 runs and taking 3-17 in the win that saw them into the last four. Kohli, who has stepped away from Test cricket and T20 internationals, is chasing a second straight IPL title with Bengaluru after waiting 18 seasons to lift his first in 2025. Even after all these years, it is the love for the game. I just love hitting the ball in the middle of the bat. That joy is still there, said Kohli, who is ninth on the IPL batting chart with 557 runs and a top score of 105 not out. Sooryavanshi is fifth on 583 runs with and a best of 103 off 37 balls. Rajasthan's opponents on Wednesday will be Sunrisers Hyderabad, who boast a formidable batting line-up featuring openers Travis Head of Australia, Abhishek Sharma and South African Heinrich Klaasen, who has hammered 606 runs with six half-centuries. The batting chart is topped by Gujarat Titans openers Sai Sudharsan (638 runs) and Shubman Gill (616). Gujarat won the IPL in their debut season in 2022 and if they reach the final again will play the showpiece in their home 130,000-capacity Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The 10-team league has staged 70 matches over seven intense weeks of action but has seen a drop in its television audience, with BARC India and TAM Sports reporting average viewership down 26 percent.

My decade-long experience in the IPL gave me the opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the greats of the game and play under the leadership of legendary cricketers like MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Rohit Sharma. These experiences have helped me work on myself and become a better cricketer since my debut in 2016. Ashwin also thanked the Board of Control for Cricket in India for organising the IPL and acknowledged the role the tournament played in his career. A big thank you to my teammates for all the memories-I will forever cherish these moments. The IPL provided the recognition and platform to showcase my talent at the highest level, and I would like to thank the BCCI for organising such a formidable tournament that continues to get bigger and better every year, he wrote. The Tamil Nadu spinner reserved special praise for the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association, where he spent the majority of his domestic career. To the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association: I have truly put my blood, sweat, and tears into representing this team, and it will always hold a special place in my heart, he penned. He also recalled fulfilling his dream of representing Tamil Nadu at the senior level. Ever since I started playing the game, I had a deep-rooted aspiration to make it to the senior state side. Given Tamil Nadu's rich legacy of producing some of the finest cricketers, I was absolutely thrilled and on top of the world when I was first selected for the Ranji Trophy squad back in 2012. Murugan Ashwin represented Tamil Nadu for more than two decades across age groups and senior cricket and signed off as the states leading wicket-taker in T20 cricket. Having represented the state for over 20 years across various age categories, being part of a winning side on four occasions in the limited-overs format, and bowing out as the state's highest wicket-taker in T20s, my memories with TNCA will forever fill my heart with joy and pride, he said. He also thanked the Chandigarh Cricket Association and Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association, whom he represented as a guest player in recent seasons. Chandigarh (UTCA) and Jammu & Kashmir Cricket Association-Representing these two states over the past three years as a guest player gave me the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and grow. I am incredibly grateful for your unwavering support and for welcoming me as one of your own. Thanking everyone who played a role in his journey, Ashwin added, To my teammates, coaches, trainers, physios and everyone who believed in me along the way (and even the few who didn't): thank you for the memories and for sharing this journey with me. The lessons I've gained from every single one of you have been invaluable in helping me become a better person and player.

'Balance Across Departments One Of The Main Reasons RCB Qualified Early': Vinay Kumar
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India pacer Vinay Kumar said Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have a strong chance of winning the IPL this season if they continue their current form, adding that a backtoback triumph in the ten-team tournament by the mens team would be wonderful after the womens side won two titles, adding one of the main reasons RCB qualfied ealry for the playoffs is their balance across all depatrments. Table-toppers RCB will face 2022 winners Gujarat Titans at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala on Tuesday, with the winner set to seal their ticket to the final, to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 31. RCB have played outstanding cricket this season and, unlike previous years when they were heavily dependent on batting, they are now playing as a team; they look like a complete side. Their middle order, with players like Tim David, Jitesh Sharma and Rajat Patidar, has added stability and power, which is crucial in T20 cricket. The biggest difference, though, has been their bowling. Josh Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and the rest of the attack have brought discipline to the attack, which was key at a batting-friendly venue like Chinnaswamy. They stick to the basics and bowl stump-to-stump. Krunal Pandyas inclusion has also given balance to the side. That balance across departments is one of the main reasons RCB qualified early. If they continue to play this way and on finishing in the top two, they have a strong chance of reaching, and even winning, the final this year. Women have won two titles, so if men can do the same and win back-to-back, nothing like it, said Vinay to JioStar. On Bhuvneshwar Kumars role in leading RCBs charge with the ball, Vinay added, Bhuvneshwar Kumars role is extremely important for RCB, both as a bowler and as the leader of the attack. He has bowled brilliantly alongside Josh Hazlewood and Rasikh Salam, maintaining a disciplined, almost Test-match-like approach and lengths. With so much experience, I dont think Bhuvneshwar or the bowling attack will take any pressure in the playoffs. They will look to treat the playoffs like any other game and focus on executing their basics. Vinay also described Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as a fearless prodigy and advised bowlers to rely on their strengths to counter the Rajasthan Royals teenaged batters aggressive approach.

IPL 2026: Heads Wife Reveals Family Targeted With Social Media Abuse After Kohli Spat
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Travis Heads wife Jessica has spoken out about the social media abuse directed at the family and their friends following the Australian batters on-field spat with Virat Kohli in an IPL 2026 clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Sunrisers Hyderabad held last week in Hyderabad. During RCBs chase, Kohli and Head exchanged words, though the exact nature of the conversation is still unclear. After SRH sealed a 55run victory, Head attempted to shake hands with Kohli during the customary postmatch greetings. Kohli, however, walked past him without responding and refused to shake hands with him while greeting other SRH players in his usual manner. The incident quickly went viral on social media and triggered intense reactions online. It feels like a repeat of the abuse that happened after the World Cup. I woke up to my socials blasting... We are fine, but they are attacking my friends and family, Jessica told The Advertiser on Monday. Jessica also revealed that similar instances of online abuse happened after Australia defeated India in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, the World Test Championship final and the 2024 Boxing Day Test and urged fans to be more respectful towards cricketers and their families on social media.

IPL 2026: 'Thoughts Of Stepping Down As Leader Never Came', Says Rahane
Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Ajinkya Rahane asserted that relinquishing leadership was never on his mind during his sides initial turbulent time in IPL 2026, adding that he has never been one to back down even in the face of challenges. Three-time champions KKR had a disastrous start to the season by losing their first six games, before scripting a remarkable turnaround by winning six of their next seven matches. But Rajasthan Royals beating Mumbai Indians by 30 runs meant KKR were knocked out of the competition and they ended their season with a 40-run defeat to Delhi Capitals at the Eden Gardens and finished at the seventh spot on the points table. For me, I've played cricket all my life with a good attitude. Character has always been very important for me. I'm never one to back down. When the team is down, when the team is struggling, it's very important to show your character at that time. Yes, there's pressure. It's very natural but the pressure is on those who are privileged. Not everyone can handle the pressure. For me, it was important to stay strong and not panic. It's very easy when you lose 5-6 matches, your focus shifts to the past and the future. It's important that you stay in that moment. Things can turn around any time. We've seen in a lot of matches and series how things change. It's very important to maintain that attitude and character. Like I said, I'm never one to back down. Those thoughts never came to me, said Rahane at the conclusion of KKRs season. He went on to praise two players who made the most of their opportunities this season -Kartik Tyagi and Anukul Roy. While pacer Tyagi finished with 18 wickets, the third-highest among Indian bowlers in the league stage, Roy claimed nine wickets in 12 innings in his first full IPL season and also remained unbeaten in two successful chases. For these two guys, this is just the beginning. I'm sure they have the potential to do really well in the future and go and play at the highest level as well. When we sat down (at the start of the season), I thought, this is a great time for Anukul to come in and play each and every game. He had a fantastic Syed Mushtaq Ali season. I believe that whoever has a good season in the domestic league, you carry that confidence forward. Anukul Roy just did that. Talking about Kartik Tyagi, he was clear. We played practice games - two, three practice matches (and) practice sessions as well. He was really clear about his thought process. You will go for runs as a bowler but as long as you're clear what you want to do for your team, that's what matters. Speaking about Varun Chakaravarthy playing through injuries, including playing with a fractured toe and picking two finger fractures, Rahane said the franchise was given medical assurances that his issues would not worsen on playing. See, our team's physios and the physios of BCCI NCA and the Indian team, there was a discussion among them. I don't get involved in that at all. That's their department. My department is how's the player's mindset, does the player want to play or not, how big is the risk. Speaking about Varun Chakaravarthy playing through injuries, including playing with a fractured toe and picking two finger fractures, Rahane said the franchise was given medical assurances that his issues would not worsen on playing. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Yes, there was a match (vs RCB) where we had to give him a break because he was in a lot of pain. But he thought that he can play. That communication came from him. When the player says that he can play, there's a positive message to the physios and the team that he wants to play. I want to give Varun all the credit. He showed his eagerness to play and the injury risk management team, the physios felt that his injuries won't increase. Article Source: IANS
