Ashwin To Become First Indian To Play In MLC After Signing With San Francisco Unicorns
Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium: Ace off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is all set to become the first Indian playing to feature in Major League Cricket (MLC) after signing with the San Francisco Unicorns for the 2026 season. Ashwin was a member of the Indian team winning the 2011 ODI World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy. In all, he picked 765 international wickets from 287 matches across all three formats and remains the seventh-highest wicket-taker in Test crickets history. The MLC has proven over recent seasons that it can put on a show, bringing in world-class players and offering significant exposure to US domestic cricket talent, and the opportunity to be a part of it with the San Francisco Unicorns was an opportunity I couldnt pass up. Taking on the mantle as the first Indian-capped player to compete in Major League Cricket is a major responsibility that I fully embrace. My absolute focus is to help this franchise win games and push for its first Championship, while also putting on a spectacular brand of cricket for the Bay Area fans, said Ashwin in a statement. Ashwin is also one of the top five wicket-takers in IPL history, having represented his home franchise, the Chennai Super Kings, as well as Rising Pune Supergiants, Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals, and the Delhi Capitals. He was supposed to play for Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League (BBL), before a knee injury ruled him out of the competition. We are absolutely thrilled to welcome a player of Ashwins stature to the Unicorns. When you talk about match-winners and cricketing intelligence, his name is at the top of the list around the world. Bringing in the first Indian-capped player is a massive moment for our franchise and MLC as a whole, but first and foremost, hes joining to help us win games. His experience in high-pressure situations and his skill variations will be invaluable on the pitch and in the nets, and I cant wait to get into camp and start working with him, said head coach Cameron White. We are absolutely thrilled to welcome a player of Ashwins stature to the Unicorns. When you talk about match-winners and cricketing intelligence, his name is at the top of the list around the world.

Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler said the Indian Premier League (IPL), whose 19th edition starts from Saturday, has had the biggest influence on his cricketing career, adding that conversations he has had during his time in the tournament have served him well while representing England in all three formats. Buttler has played 121 matches and scored 4,120 runs at an average of 40, a strike rate of 149.38, including hitting seven hundreds and 24 fifties. He enjoyed a prolific IPL 2025 by amassing 538 runs in 13 innings at an imposing average of 59.8 and a strike rate of 163, as he, Shubman Gill, and B Sai Sudharsan made for a formidable top-order in the competition. Absolutely as I said, I think the IPL has been the biggest influence on my cricket career. Some of the lessons that I've learned during IPL seasons, (then) some of the interactions I've had, and some of the people I've had the pleasure of getting to meet and work with as coaches and players. Its just in the IPL -- some of the conversations that I've taken from the IPL have served me well in playing for England in both Test cricket and T20 cricket, then 50-over cricket - so it's had a huge impact. Like Kevin (Pietersen) was saying in his interview (on Buttlers podcast), the opportunity to be a friend of Raoul Dravid and work on that technique about playing spin creates some great opportunities that would otherwise be very limited. Even for instance, I've been here for three or four days and getting to talk to Matthew Hayden about batting -- I wouldn't get that opportunity probably otherwise. So it's really had the same impact for me as for KP, Buttler told IANS in a virtual roundtable chat on Saturday. GT, the 2022 IPL champions, will open their campaign against Punjab Kings in New Chandigarh on March 31. Buttlers ability to consolidate and press the accelerator makes him one of the most dangerous batters in the shortest format. But Buttler heads into IPL 2026 after a lean T20 World Cup, where he managed only 87 runs in eight innings. Asked whether this IPL carries extra significance following a below-par T20 World Cup campaign, Buttler insisted his approach to the tournament remains unchanged regardless of past showings. It's no more important or less important than any other IPL I've played. No matter what's gone on before, I always turn up to the IPL -- looking forward to the season, wanting to contribute to the team, and wanting to play well. So whether I've been scoring lots of runs coming into the IPL, it's the same challenge. Like, can you prepare well? Can you get in a good headspace to go out there and give yourself the best chance to perform? And whether I've been struggling for runs, it's the same challenge. So you have the energy to keep trying, keep putting yourself out there, keep preparing well, and trying to get back into the runs, as you would say. So it's the same challenge whether you've been, like I said, in a form or out of form. I turn up to the IPL every year excited, looking forward to the tournament, and really wanting to just play well for the team. So I'll just look at the scoreboard and try and do what's required on the day, he elaborated. On whether he had been able to pinpoint what went wrong for him in the T20 World Cup, Buttler stated there was no single answer to it, adding that leaning on a small, trusted circle of advisors, along with enjoying some time away from the game, has helped him to return to IPL cricket with a clear head. There's probably a small circle of people that you turn to try and ask for their advice or their opinion on what they're seeing. Ultimately, I tried hard and put a lot of effort into that World Cup, and for a multitude of reasons, probably, it just didn't quite work out. Actually, having the capacity and discipline to just say, that's okay. I tried hard to play a game that has elements of things that I can't control, and everyone else is trying to do well as well. So it just didn't quite work out. Being a 35-year-old player, I've had 15 years of times where I've had good form, bad form, had tournaments that went really well or didn't go to plan. So I think you're always trying to reflect and do self-analysis. But pinpointing one thing, there's actually, if there was that one secret, then I think we'd all know it, and we'd all score runs every time. But I don't think that exists. So it's just, I've had a bit of space from the game, which I've really enjoyed and sort of reflected on, whether I've scored runs or not, the challenge is the same thing for me - go to practice with energy and optimism, prepare well, and then go to the game, start on nought, and take it from there, he explained. Being a 35-year-old player, I've had 15 years of times where I've had good form, bad form, had tournaments that went really well or didn't go to plan.

IPL 2026: Ashwin Picks CSK's Playing XI After MS Dhoni's Injury
Chennai Super Kings: Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has picked his strongest playing XI with Impact Player options for the five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) after their stalwart MS Dhoni was subsequently ruled out for the first two weeks of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, which will commence on Saturday. MS Dhoni is currently undergoing rehabilitation for a calf strain. As a result, he is likely to miss the first two weeks of IPL 2026, the franchise said in a statement. Ashwin has gone with Sanju Samson as the wicketkeeper, and he will also open the innings with skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad. The former CSK player has put three attacking batters in the next three spots, which include Urvil Patel at No. 3, batter Dewald Brevis at number four, followed by Indias T20 World Cup 2026 all-rounder Shivam Dube at number five. Ashwin has given two options for the number six position. His first choice is Sarfaraz Khan, while the other is India's U19 World Cup champion captain Ayush Mhatre. Former Indian spinner has ignored Prashant Veer and has selected Kartik Sharma for the number 7 spot. In the bowling department, he has selected Akeal Hosein and Noor Ahmad as the main spinners, with Hosein also capable of contributing with the bat at number eight. For the pace attack, Jaffer has gone with Matt Henry and Khaleel Ahmed. Ashwin has provided four options for the Impact Player, which include Anshul Kamboj, Shreyas Gopal, Ramakrishna Ghosh, and Rahul Chahar. CSK head into the new season after a disappointing 2025 campaign, where they finished at the bottom of the table, the worst result in the franchises history. Known for their consistency and strong performances over the years, the teams poor showing came as a surprise to fans. Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side will begin their IPL 2026 campaign against Rajasthan Royals on March 30 at Baraspara Stadium in Guwahati.

IPL 2026: Dhoni To Miss First Two Weeks Of Season Due To Calf Strain
Chennai Super Kings: Former India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni has sustained a calf strain and has been subsequently ruled out for the first two weeks of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, the franchise said in a statement. The 19th edition of the tournament is set to begin on Saturday, with defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) hosting Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the curtain-raiser at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. CSK are set to play their campaign opener on Monday against the inaugural champions, Rajasthan Royals. However, Dhoni, who has led the franchise to five titles, the joint-most in the league across all seasons, will miss the first few matches and sit out for the first two weeks. MS Dhoni is currently undergoing rehabilitation for a calf strain. As a result, he is likely to miss the first two weeks of IPL 2026, the franchise said in a statement on Saturday. Earlier in the day, the franchise shared a video of the teams practice match, a match-like simulation, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, where Dhoni batted and Samson kept the wickets. The 44-year-old unleashed some terrific shots, sending the ball over the boundary line on multiple occasions. MS Dhoni is currently undergoing rehabilitation for a calf strain.

IPL 2026: With New Captain Parag And Return Of Ravindra Jadeja, RR Look For Consistency (SWOT)
Yudhvir Singh Charak: A new era begins for Rajasthan Royals as Riyan Parag takes over as captain and former India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja joins the team. After a disappointing 2025 season, the inaugural champions are relying on a revamped squad and a youthful lineup to bounce back and end their long wait for a second IPL title. Strengths: RRs biggest strength is their fearless, high-tempo batting unit. The opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and young talent Vaibhav Suryavanshi can provide explosive starts, immediately putting pressure on opposing bowlers. In the middle-order, captain Parag and Dhruv Jurel bring a balanced mix of composure and aggression, while finishers like Shimron Hetmyer add power at the end of innings. Adding Jadeja and Ravi Bishnoi boosts both experience and spin options, filling a key gap from last season. Weaknesses: Despite improvements, RRs bowling unit still lacks consistency and proven dependability. Jofra Archer offers pace and a wicket-taking threat; however, support from the rest of the attack remains uncertain. Young bowlers like Kwena Maphaka, Kuldeep Sen, and Nandre Burger show promise but have not been tested over a full IPL season. A major setback is Sam Currans absence due to injury, which affects the all-round balance and depth of the team. Jadejas recent IPL form has also been somewhat inconsistent. Opportunities: IPL 2026 gives RR a chance to reshape their identity around youth and aggression. Emerging players like Suryavanshi, Lhuan-Dre Pretorius, and Maphaka have a chance to make their mark on the big stage. If this young core performs well and works alongside the experienced players, RR could turn into a dynamic, high-impact team capable of consistently challenging top sides. Threats: RRs heavy reliance on youth brings some risk. Players like Suryavanshi, Pretorius, Maphaka, and others might struggle with consistency under pressure during a long tournament. A poor start or loss of momentum could hurt confidence, especially with a relatively new captain in Parag. Without steady performances from senior players, RR risks another up-and-down season, where flashes of brilliance do not lead to ongoing success.

IPL 2026: Wasim Jaffer Picks CSK Playing XI, Slots MS Dhoni At Number 6
Chennai Super Kings: Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer has picked the strongest playing XI for the five time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ahead of the 2026 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), which is set to begin on March 28. CSK head into the new season after a disappointing 2025 campaign, where they finished at the bottom of the table, the worst result in the franchises history. Known for their consistency and strong performances over the years, the teams poor showing came as a surprise to fans. Since then, the franchise has made several big changes during the auction and transfer window to rebuild the squad. Among the key changes, CSK released experienced players like Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran, while bringing in Sanju Samson from Rajasthan Royals through a trade. The team also invested in young talent, including players like Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma. Jaffer believes Samson should open the innings alongside India U19 captain Ayush Mhatre, giving the team an aggressive start. He has suggested that captain Ruturaj Gaikwad should bat at number three to stabilise the innings and provide balance in the top order. In the middle order, Jaffer has placed young South African batter Dewald Brevis at number four, followed by Indias T20 World Cup 2026 all-rounder Shivam Dube at number five. Veteran wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni has been slotted at number six. Dhoni had a relatively quiet season last year, scoring 196 runs while mostly batting at number seven or eight, but his experience remains crucial for the side. According to Jaffer, only one of Kartik Sharma or Prashant Veer will feature in the playing XI, taking up the number seven spot. In the bowling department, he has selected Akeal Hosein and Noor Ahmad as the main spinners, with Hosein also capable of contributing with the bat at number eight. For the pace attack, Jaffer has gone with Matt Henry and Khaleel Ahmed, while Anshul Kamboj has been named as the impact player. Wasim Jaffers CSK XI: Sanju Samson, Ayush Mhatre, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube, MS Dhoni, Kartik Sharma/Prashant Veer, Akeal Hosein, Noor Ahmad, Matt Henry, Khaleel Ahmed Wasim Jaffers CSK XI: Also Read: Live Cricket Score CSK will begin their IPL 2026 campaign against Rajasthan Royals on March 30 at Baraspara Stadium in Guwahati.

BCCI Cricket Advisory Committee: For the first time, all ten IPL franchises will be led by Indian captains in the upcoming season starting on Saturday, and Jatin Paranjape, the former cricketer and national selector, feels that fact makes the tournament worth watching from a leadership perspective. This IPL feels quite significant from a leadership point of view.

What makes it interesting is that each of them is at a very different stage in their career, but for all of them, this is a pivotal phase. Some are new to the role, while others have a bit more experience, but all of them will have to handle responsibility over a long tournament, Paranjape told IANS on Friday, on the eve of the tournament opener between RCB and SRH, to be played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

IPL 2026: Samson Is One Player Dhoni Would Want To Pass The Baton To, Says Pathan
Chennai Super Kings: Former India left-arm pacer Irfan Pathan believes Sanju Samson could be the natural successor to MS Dhonis role at Chennai Super Kings (CSK), adding that the wicketkeeper-batter is someone fans could identify and connect with. Dhoni has led CSK to five IPL titles, but has increasingly batted lower down the order in recent seasons. Samson, meanwhile, is coming off after being Player of the Tournament in India winning the 2026 Mens T20 World Cup. This will be Samsons first season with CSK after leaving Rajasthan Royals. It looks like this will be MS Dhonis last season. The signs are there because, if you look at the Chennai setup, they have brought in a wicketkeeper-batsman who can play for the next few years. You can build your team around him and he can be the face of the franchise, that is Sanju Samson. He has also upgraded himself in terms of form in international cricket. He has just won a World Cup and has been batting fantastically well. That is one player MS Dhoni would want to pass the baton to, someone who has the caliber to do all that and whom even the fans can identify and connect with. With Sanjus arrival, I feel Dhoni can now say that maybe it is time for him to pass on that baton. But should this have happened earlier? Because I feel that a player like MS Dhoni cannot be just a two-over player. You do not build your legacy like that. So yes, I think the time is right, said Pathan on JioStar. He also noted that Dhonis role as a finisher has diminished with age, adding that he should take greater responsibility with the bat in this season for at least last four to five overs. When CSK won their last trophy in Ahmedabad, there were already talks that he was coming too low down the order, even before those discussions gained momentum. With Sanjus arrival, I feel Dhoni can now say that maybe it is time for him to pass on that baton. But should this have happened earlier? Because I feel that a player like MS Dhoni cannot be just a two-over player. You do not build your legacy like that. So yes, I think the time is right, said Pathan on JioStar. Also Read: Live Cricket Score We had not seen that from MS Dhoni before. That is happening more frequently now.

When 13-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi smashed a 157kph ball for straight six
A single, audacious six off extreme pace in a trial session catapulted Vaibhav Sooryavanshi into the cricketing spotlight. The teenage prodigy, who turned 15 in March 27, 2026, has since dominated age-group and senior cricket, even smashing a 35-ball century in IPL 2025. Rajasthan Royals secured him for Rs 1.1 crore, a move that has already proven its worth.
Parents Sacrificed All For 15-Year-Old India Prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi
Vaibhav Suryavanshi's parents told AFP how they made a practice pitch in their village in India's poorest state to spark the teenage cricket prodigy's stunning rise -- and now his younger brother hones his skills on it. Suryavanshi was the talk of world cricket after making history in the Indian Premier League last year aged just 14 in a dazzling debut season. The supremely talented left-handed batsman, who turned 15 on Friday, belted a six on the first ball he faced for Rajasthan Royals. Days later the school boy smacked a 35-ball century, the second fastest in the T20 competition's history after Chris Gayle (30 balls). He is fearless, Manish Ojha, one of Suryavanshi's first coaches, told AFP ahead of the new IPL season starting on Saturday. That is his nature. Suryavanshi's stunning introduction to elite cricket was no flash in the pan. He then hammered 175 off just 80 balls -- an innings laced with a staggering 30 boundaries -- in February, helping India thump England by 100 runs in the Under-19 ODI World Cup final in Harare. He was named player of the match and player of the tournament, having finished with 439 runs in seven innings at an average of 62.71. The teenager's rise has been swift since first picking up a bat when he was barely five. He made his domestic debut aged 12 for his home state of Bihar in the Ranji Trophy in January 2024, then was selected for India's under-19 squad against a touring Australia team. He promptly hit a 58-ball century, the second-fastest ton in youth Tests after England's Moeen Ali in 2005. Ojha praised Suryavanshi's ability to replicate what he learned in the nets, including the one his parents had put together, in the heat of competition. What makes him special is the ability to execute plans on match days, said Ojha. - 'Cricket is his life' - Suryavanshi's blistering march to teenage superstardom from India's poorest state has involved significant sacrifice from his middle-class parents. For years his father accompanied him every other day from their home in the village of Motipur to Ojha's cricket academy in Bihar's capital city, Patna, a one-way journey of roughly two-and-a-half hours. My small business failed because of my full-time focus on training Vaibhav, Sanjeev Suryavanshi told AFP outside the family's two-storey house. For his mother it involved getting up before everyone. It was not easy to wake up at 3:00 am to cook for him so that he could take homemade food with him, said Aarti Singh. The sacrifices paid off when a 13-year-old Suryavanshi in 2024 became the youngest-ever player to be sold in an IPL auction. Rajasthan Royals snapped him up for $130,500 -- more than a hundred times the average per capita annual income in Bihar. Born on March 27, 2011, Suryavanshi is the first IPL cricketer born after the tournament's inception in 2008. In a Rajasthan Royals media interaction earlier this month, Suryavanshi cheekily said he hoped to score two-three thousand runs in this year's tournament, before playing down personal goals. The idea is to follow the process and help the team win, said Suryavanshi, whose media duties are limited by the team to protect him. Back home in Motipur, father Sanjeev said the family is now eagerly waiting for Suryavanshi to don senior India colours. He has been playing extraordinary cricket so far, a proud Sanjeev said, as he watched his youngest son Ashirwad, 11, practise on the same modest pitch he had built near their home.

IPL 2026: A Chance for Rishabh Pant to Shed the Unlucky Tag
For Lucknow Super Giants, the IPL 2026 is the season for redemption under Rishabh Pant. The costliest IPL franchise is yet to see any significant success in the IPL: lost in the Play-Offs in the first two seasons and then finished in the seventh position in the last two seasons. Naturally, in the new season, the focus is primarily on current captain Pant for his leadership as well as batting. He ended the last season with 118* off 61 balls against Gujarat Titans, but before that had scored only 151 runs in 13 matches. This was not the performance the franchisee expected from their Rs.27 crore signee. He has to justify the tag of being the IPLs most expensive player. The IPL 2026 season is being viewed as a make-or-break season for him with the hope of doing much better than the 269 runs he scored in 14 innings last season. He also has a chance to set the record straight as a captain. So far, he has captained two different teams in more than 50 matches but without any IPL title, with an overall captaincy record: 57 matches (30 wins + 27 losses). With Delhi Capitals (20212024), he earned the tag of a never-say-die captain and led them in 43 matches, and then LSG spent a record-breaking Rs. 27 crore at the auction to appoint him captain for the 2025 season, following their disappointment with KL Rahul, but the story remained unchanged. He may not end up as lucky as Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni as far as winning an IPL title is concerned, but he can come out of the list of the captains who led in 50+ IPL matches, without winning the title. Virat Kohli (143 matches with 68 wins, 71 losses, 3 ties and 1 no result) is leading the pack as he couldnt convert his fine batting form into an IPL title as captain (from 2013 to 2021, and again for a few matches in 2023). His is a unique case as he captained only one franchise, the Royal Challengers Bangalore, and remains the only captain to have led a team in 100+ matches without ever winning a title. Virat is still playing but not captaining the side. Similarly, Sanju Samson (67 matches with 33 wins, 33 losses and 1 no result) also doesnt have the chance to add an IPL title to his record as captain. He led Rajasthan Royals from 2021 to 2025, scored a hundred in his very first match as captain (first IPL captain to record the feat) and, like Virat, amassed a lot of runs but failed to win a title. He has now moved from the Royals. On the unlucky quotient, KL Rahul is next as he has captained in 64 matches (32 wins, 32 losses) but without winning the IPL title. Among those who have captained more than one team, he is the most unfortunate. Before the 2022 season, the Lucknow Super Giants acquired him for Rs.17 crore as a long-term captaincy prospect, but after 37 matches, they lost faith in him. It appears that they overlooked that he had not won the title for Kings XI Punjab also in the 27 matches before that. He is now not captaining his new side and his record in this capacity stands frozen at this point. Rishabh Pants story bears striking similarities with him. Virender Sehwag was a big name at the start of the IPL. As an iconic player, he was the first captain of the Delhi Daredevils (from 2008 to 2012), took the team to semi-finals in two consecutive seasons (2008 and 2009) and, in 2009, was at the top of the league table but despite captaining them for 52 matches, failed to secure a title. He also led the Punjab team for just a single match. He remains one of the few captains who, despite leading a single franchise for over 50 matches, never managed to win a title. Overall IPL captaincy record 53 matches (29 wins, 24 losses). Surprisingly, none of the Icons of the IPL met with success as captain and, like Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar also failed to taste the success. He led Mumbai Indians in 51 matches (30 wins, 21 losses), starting from the very first season of the IPL but remained empty-handed. He also holds the distinction of having captained a single team in 50 matches without winning a title. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Similarly, Royal Challengers Bangalore started with Rahul Dravid (14 matches) and then he was captain of the Rajasthan Royals between 2012 and 2013, taking over from Shane Warne in 34 matches but was unable to deliver a title.

But once the Election Commission of India (ECI) gave the clear dates and timelines around it, the BCCI has now come up with the schedule of the second phase of the competition -- with 50 matches to be played across 12 venues from April 13 to May 24. The league stage will resume with SRH, the 2016 champions, hosting inaugural winners RR at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on April 13.

IPL 2026: Players Returning After Missing 2025 Season
The Indian Premier League: The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been pivotal in transforming modern franchise cricket, influencing not only India but also the international scene. Besides its commercial achievements, it serves as a significant platform for showcasing new talent, enhancing the reputation of domestic players, and making many of them well-known worldwide. Every season, a few high-profile players are absent due to injuries or dips in form. This year, too, many players have been ruled out before the start of the tournament, due to injury or availability concerns, forcing the franchises to look for replacements. But several players will be returning to the high-intense setup after having missed the previous edition. With this in mind, here are five players who missed IPL 2025 but are expected to return in the 2026 tournament, which starts on Saturday. Cameron Green (Kolkata Knight Riders) Fast-bowling all-rounders continue to be among the most sought-after assets in the IPL, and this season marks the return of one of Australias finest, Cameron Green. After missing the previous edition due to a back injury, Green is back in the spotlight as the most expensive overseas signing in IPL history, having been bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for a staggering Rs. 25.20 crore. Green made his IPL debut with the Mumbai Indians in 2023, playing a key role in their playoff run. He scored 452 runs across 16 matches at an impressive strike rate of 160.28, highlighted by a commanding unbeaten century against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final league match at the Wankhede Stadium. He followed that with another strong season at Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2024, further cementing his reputation as a dependable performer in the league. However, injury concerns kept him out of the 2025 campaign, and he did not participate in that years mega auction. Now 26, Green joins Eden Gardens as a marquee signing for Kolkata, with high expectations despite a tough recent Ashes series. His return not only bolsters KKRs squad but also provides a potential game-changer capable of affecting matches with both bat and ball. Sarfaraz Khan (Chennai Super Kings) Sarfaraz Khan's career has been marked by sharp turns, from early promise to times on the fringes. He first gained notice during his stint with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where his performances were good enough to secure retention ahead of the 2018 mega-auction. However, maintaining consistency proved difficult in the following years, and subsequent spells with Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Capitals did little to secure his place, ultimately leading to his release before the 2024 season and a couple of years without an IPL contract. Despite his absence from the league, Sarfaraz continued to build an impressive reputation in domestic cricket. His outstanding performance in the 202526 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy highlighted his T20 skills, as he scored 329 runs at an average of 65.20 and an exceptional strike rate of 203.8. A blazing 73 off just 22 balls on the morning of the auction further emphasised his value. Those performances earned him a return to the IPL, with Chennai Super Kings securing his services for Rs. 75 lakh. While competition for places in a crowded batting line-up may limit immediate opportunities, conditions at Chepauk could play to his strengths against spin, and his inventive strokeplay adds depth to the side. Having already achieved a long-awaited Test debut for India before slipping out of contention again, Sarfaraz now faces another crucial moment. A strong IPL campaign could not only restore his credentials in the format but also rekindle hopes of a return to the national team. Jason Holder (Gujarat Titans) Jason Holder has long been a familiar figure in the IPL, representing multiple franchises, with his most recent appearance for the Rajasthan Royals in 2023. Despite his experience and all-round capabilities, he remained unsold in the following two seasons and instead participated in franchise cricket elsewhere, including a stint with Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League in 2025. Since then, Holder has regained strong form on the international stage, delivering impactful performances for the West Indies. He also impressed as captain of the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the Caribbean Premier League, demonstrating both leadership and consistency. His resurgence did not go unnoticed, as the Gujarat Titans secured his services for Rs. 7 crore ahead of the 2026 season. Backed by a strong performance in the recent World Cup, Holder now returns to the IPL with renewed energy and the potential to play a vital all-round role for the Titans. Prithvi Shaw (Delhi Capitals) Prithvi Shaw burst onto the IPL scene as an exciting teenager in 2018, showcasing his attacking flair while representing Delhi Daredevils. He soon became a key figure in the sides resurgence after they transitioned into the Delhi Capitals, with his rise reflected in his rapid elevation to Indias national team across formats. However, that early momentum proved difficult to maintain. A prolonged decline in form, combined with fitness and discipline issues, caused Shaw to fall out of favour. After two disappointing IPL seasons, Delhi released him, and his struggles worsened when he lost his place in Mumbais domestic team. A fresh start with Maharashtra seems to have reignited his game. Consistent performances across formats in domestic cricket signal a return to form, prompting Delhi Capitals to re-sign him for Rs. 75 lakh ahead of the 2026 season. Returning to a franchise where he previously thrived, forming effective opening partnerships with players like Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner, Shaw now has an opportunity to rebuild his reputation. At 26, he faces a pivotal moment. A successful run at the top of the order could signal a major resurgence, potentially realigning his career and sparking renewed debates about his role in Indian cricket. Umran Malik (Kolkata Knight Riders) Umran Malik made an immediate impact when he emerged for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2021, attracting attention with raw pace that often exceeded 150 kmph. His breakthrough season reached its peak in 2022, when he took 22 wickets and received a call-up to the Indian team, highlighting his potential as one of the countrys fastest bowlers. Since then, injuries have hindered his progress, affecting both his appearances and effectiveness. After being released before the 2025 auction, Malik was signed by the Kolkata Knight Riders, but another injury setback ruled him out of the season. Now fully fit and having completed a full domestic campaign with Jammu and Kashmir in the 2025 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Malik returns with renewed purpose. With Kolkatas pace attack depleted following the exits of key bowlers, he has a clear opportunity to re-establish himself. Maliks focus will now be on rediscovering the form and rhythm that once made him one of the most exciting fast-bowling prospects in the league. A strong showing this season could not only strengthen his role at KKR but also revive his chances of making a comeback to the national side. Finn Allen (Kolkata Knight Riders) Finn Allen had a quiet start to his IPL journey, spending time with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2021 and 2022 without making an appearance despite being regarded as a promising, hard-hitting opener. Finn Allen (Kolkata Knight Riders) Also Read: Live Cricket Score His rise was further cemented on the global stage when he scored a breathtaking 33-ball century against South Africa in the semi-final of the 2026 T20 World Cup, the fastest hundred in the tournaments history. Now returning to the IPL with Kolkata Knight Riders, Allen brings with him a reputation built on fearless strokeplay, and even a glimpse of that form could make him a game-changing presence this season.

Where Talent Meets Opportunity: Uncapped Debutants Who Are Ready To Seize IPL 2026 Spotlight
Yatra Pratibha Avsara Prapnotihi: Since its inception in 2008, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has evolved into more than just a cricket tournament; it embodies the intersection of talent, ambition, and opportunity. The IPL trophy has an inscription on it in Sanskrit, Yatra Pratibha Avsara Prapnotihi, which translates to where talent meets opportunity. The motto represents the tournament's purpose of providing a platform for talent to thrive. The tournament throws up new talents every season; IANS takes a look at uncapped debutants who are expected to make a mark in the league. Auqib Nabi Dar (Delhi Capitals) A swing bowler with impeccable line and length and the ability to move the ball both ways, Aquib Nabi became the toast of the nation after two breathtaking Ranji Trophy seasons where he picked up 104 wickets across the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons. He was bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs 8.40 crore at the auction, his first bid at the IPL. In the 2025/26 Ranji Trophy, he finished as the season's highest wicket-taker: 60 wickets in 17 innings at 12.65 as Jammu and Kashmir won a historic maiden Ranji title. Nabi was the architect of J&K's season and was named the player of the tournament. Kartik Sharma (Chennai Super Kings) A serial six-hitter and wicketkeeper from Bharatpur in Rajasthan, Kartik Sharma became the joint-most expensive uncapped Indian player at an IPL auction when Chennai Super Kings (CSK) scooped him up for Rs 14.2 crore. He was the joint-highest six-hitter in the first phase of the 2025-26 Ranji season and the highest six-hitter in the 2024-25 Vijay Hazare Trophy. After training with CSK's wider squad during IPL 2025, he broke into their main side for IPL 2026. Mangesh Yadav (Royal Challengers Bengaluru) The pivotal moment in his career occurred during the Madhya Pradesh T20 League, when Mangesh took 14 wickets in six matches with an impressive average of 12.00. After playing for Madhya Pradesh in domestic cricket alongside RCB captain Rajat Patidar, he finally received the long-awaited call from Royal Challengers Bangalore when he was identified as a like-for-like replacement for Yash Dayal. Mangesh can also pitch in with the bat down the order, and though the sample size in domestic cricket is small, RCB's scouting network believes that he is good enough to slot into RCB's XII. Prashant Veer (Chennai Super Kings) A left-arm spinner who can hit sixes down the order, Prashant Veer caused a stir in the IPL 2026 auction and joined Kartik Sharma as the joint-most expensive uncapped Indian player when CSK snapped him up for Rs 14.2 crore. Prashant Veer (Chennai Super Kings) Also Read: Live Cricket Score He finished the UPT20 league with 320 runs at a strike rate of 155 and pitched in with eight wickets. Article Source: IANS

'It Was Quite Tough For Me': Dube On His Secret Train Journey After T20 WC Triumph
T20 World Cup: Indian all-rounder Shivam Dube said on Thursday that his train journey back home after winning the T20 World Cup 2026 with his family was exciting but also quite tough, as he had to take extra precautions to avoid being recognised. Dube had to take an unusual route to get back home from Ahmedabad after the historic win. Unlike most Indian cricketers who travel by chartered or private flights, he couldnt find any available flights from Ahmedabad to Mumbai, as they were fully booked. So, he decided to travel by train in a 3rd AC coach. Even though there was a risk of being recognised by fans, he felt it was the quickest option. In a video shared by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on X, Dube explained how he managed to avoid attention. It was quite tough. We took the train around 5 a.m., and there were many people. But since it was right after the World Cup, no one expected me to be there. I went to the top berth and slept for some time. We slept around 5:30 and woke up at 10:30, he said. Dube also shared that he had travelled by train in a similar way last year during a BPCL tournament in Baroda. I had done this before as well, wearing a mask. Last year, before the IPL, I travelled by train from a BPCL tournament in Baroda because I wanted to reach home early. I was sleeping on my berth, and there were a few friends with me, he added. Dube also shared that he had travelled by train in a similar way last year during a BPCL tournament in Baroda.

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.

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.
