IPL 2026: At Times, Its Inhuman The Way Teams Have Been Batting, Says Karthik On Tall Scores In Competition

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik believes the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season has redefined the boundaries of T20 cricket, where towering scores are a routine affair and teams fearlessly hunting them down, adding that he finds the batting approach inhuman at times. Flat pitches, short boundaries, and the impact player rule have meant that teams are routinely chasing down 200-plus targets. On Saturday, Punjab Kings set a new record for chases in IPL by hunting down 265 against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Later, Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down 229 against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. First up, credit to all teams who are chasing down such big totals, and also to the teams that are setting such massive totals. The game has changed; the landscape of T20 cricket is changing every day. You see these scores and think, Wow, it's just incredible. At times, its inhuman the way teams have been batting. Yes, it's obviously a challenge batting-wise because you're trying to be so much more aggressive. With the ball, it's a different challenge - you try to protect as much as you can and try to do your best at it. So it's been wonderful to see how this IPL is actually constantly raising the bar for teams across the world and for the players who are playing because they need to reinvent and obviously make sure that they are moving along with how fast the game is going. So it's been a privilege to be part of it, and you just sometimes look at it and marvel at how well this game is progressing and to what heights it's reaching, said Karthik in the pre-match press conference. Run-making in power-play has breached the 10 runs per over mark, while dot-ball percentage is below 40 percent, and boundary percentage has gone past 25 all of which never happened in previous seasons of the IPL. The impact player rule has also meant that a side like PBKS never looked in trouble in the chase and reached 265 with seven balls to spare. Karthik acknowledged the balance between bat and ball remains a constant debate in the IPL, but insisted the T20 format is in a good place. It's always a debate, isn't it? When you start scoring a lot of runs, you feel how you equalise it for the bowler and vice versa. I think this format is in a good place. There have been some interesting changes made by the fact that you have added reviews to decisions that are being made, you've added impact player, etc. But the results have been quite alarming in a positive way. I think the world looks at IPL and goes, this is a different brand of cricket altogether because the T10 strong teams are competing against each other and each one of the teams pushing the other to do something very special to win a game of cricket, which is exactly what you want in terms of rivalry, standard, etc. I'm very happy with the place that IPL is in and I think in many ways it's an example of how cricket should be played and for that matter even sports should be played because there are definitely areas where each team is going back to the drawing board and saying this is where we need to improve and they are addressing it at the end of each season and that's why you see the standards increasing with every passing year, he elaborated. Calling 220 the new 180 in T20s, with IPL 2026 seeing four successful 200-plus chases and its overall run rate being the highest in the history of the competition, Karthik underlined how batting power and innovation have transformed the game. The new normal - it is a good way to put it. I think the question is a very valid one because obviously the bowlers are challenged, aren't they? 200-220 scores - teams seem to be getting it, and it almost feels like 220 is the old 180 or something like that, and teams are getting there quite often. So, it is a challenging situation for any bowling coach and any bowler, for that matter, because the pitches are obviously quite flat and batters have improved their range of stroke play. Add to that, they have increased their power as well, and some of them are hitting massive sixes. So, obviously, as a bowling unit, you need to be very aware of what is happening and how the scores have increased and how you need to be thinking as a bowler. Without revealing too much, I would say so far we are trying our best to do a good job. More variations, why not? That will make the bowling side of things very interesting, he said. Saturday was a tough day to be a bowler, and the same story could be there for the rest of the season. Karthik also felt that the changing nature of the pitches will also determine if a particular game will be a run-fest or not. First of all, I don't know if you are asking me a question or scaring me, but definitely it feels like most teams are backing themselves to chase down most totals and that's a good sign to be fair because that tells you that the batters these days actually are coming in fearlessly to the point where they back themselves to do very different things to what it was done a few years ago. So, you have to be open as a batting unit. You don't want to set any target or challenges for you as a batting unit, but constantly keep making sure the way the batters look at how each inning needs to be is different on each given day, on different pitches. Like in Bengaluru, sometimes we played on pitches which probably went 260-250 pitches, as you saw against DC, we got 180, and it was a good game. Against LSG, they got 160, and we had to bat and get there, and we did that. So, it depends on the pitches. On some pitches, like Jaipur yesterday, 230 was scored. DC, here, 260 plus was scored. So, each pitch varies, but in general, you have to say that it is very interesting to see how this game is actually unfolding in each venue and with every given day, depending on which pitch you play, some crazy scores are being met with for sure, he explained. He further noted how shot-making has evolved into a power-driven extension of traditional strokes. People are playing an extension of a normal cricketing shot, so to speak. I remember a few years ago, you said 10 years, I think that's a good number to have. A lot of these scoops, reverse scoops, all of that were like, Oh, how can players play that? Now it's more like, can you just check your drive, and can it go for a six? So I would say people are focusing more on making sure their normal shots that they had have a lot more power added to them. In clearing the boundary, in clearing the ropes, and also they're becoming very clever in the power play in terms of what positions they get into, probably to play a lot of the boundaries. As we see, CSK is batting on a slightly different pitch today. The scores are not that high so far when I last saw them at the end of 10 overs. So with every pitch, every venue, it seems to change. But you have to say, in general, the shot-making has definitely improved, and there's also a lot of power added. Otherwise, you wouldn't get such consistent scores of 220. The role of an impact player, the psychological impact that it has on a batting unit, knowing that you bat a little deeper than normal, could also be a factor in it. On the role of analytics, Karthik credited RCBs analyst Freddie Wilde for bringing valuable insights. It is very good that you asked the question about Freddie. Yes, we do use data, and we try to understand the metrics and see how we can obviously use it to our advantage. We definitely try to do a bit of that. In terms of whether the outlook of the team has changed and the way we play as a team, I think it isn't a good question for you to answer. From the inside, it feels like we are making a conscious effort to use these metrics to help our players achieve something special. Last year, we were good enough to beat some good teams and in the end, crossed the line. So, we are making a conscious effort at that. On the role of analytics, Karthik credited RCBs analyst Freddie Wilde for bringing valuable insights. It is very good that you asked the question about Freddie. Yes, we do use data, and we try to understand the metrics and see how we can obviously use it to our advantage. We definitely try to do a bit of that.

So far, I must say the experience for me on a personal note has been very good, and Freddie has been one who is feeding us very valuable information, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: 'I Wanted To Answer With The Bat,' Says Sooryavanshi On Hitting Four Sixes Off Praful Hinge

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: Rajasthan Royals (RR) star player Vaibhav Sooryavanshi said that he wanted to give a befitting reply with the bat to the critics as he smashed four sixes against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)bowler Praful Hinge, who had previously dismissed him in the last outing. Speaking after the match in a conversation with RR manager Romi Bhinder, Sooryavanshi revealed that he was motivated by criticism following his early wicket against Hinge in RR's clash against SRH on April 13. I went with a clear plan against the bowler. After getting out in the last match, I went back and checked my phone. I saw a lot of things. I usually don't pay attention to those things, but when someone says something to me personally, it affects me a bit. I only wanted to answer with my bat, he said in a video released by RR on X. Asked about his approach during the innings, the teenager said he simply trusted his preparation and played with freedom. You know how important it was for me. I was just trying to do exactly what I did in the practice yesterday. I was playing with a free flow from the very first ball, and I planned to do the exact same thing today, he added. The youngster also gave an update on his fitness after concerns over a hamstring issue during the game. Its fine now. Im feeling better. I dont know, my foot got stuck. I already had an ankle problem, so to avoid putting too much force on it, I pulled my hamstring. But its better now. I will recover in time for the next match, he said.

IPL 2026: 'Little Things Made The Big Difference,' Says Vettori After SRH Win

Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Head coach Daniel Vettori praised the little but crucial contributions that made a big difference as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) pulled off a five-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. Reflecting on the win, Vettori highlighted how key moments from both the bowling and batting units helped SRH chase down a daunting 229-run target. Just a couple of little things that were extremely pleasing today, that sometimes go unnoticed, but understanding how important they are, Vettori said in a dressing room video released by SRH on X After being asked to bat first, Rajasthan Royals posted a massive 228/6, powered by a sensational 103 off 37 balls from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and a quickfire 51 from Dhruv Jurel. Despite the early onslaught, SRH managed to regain some control in the death overs, which proved vital in the context of the match. Vettori singled out Praful Hinge for his comeback after a tough start. I thought that was Hinge today, coming back from that first over to rally and finish off what was a very good last four overs, and in the scheme of things, its probably one of the big contributing factors to us winning tonight, he explained. Chasing the big total, SRH came out with aggressive intent despite losing an early wicket. Ishan Kishan led the charge with a blistering 74 off 31 balls, while Abhishek Sharma smashed 57 off 29 as the duo stitched a match-defining 132-run partnership. Vettori also credited Nitish Kumar Reddy for maintaining the momentum during the chase. On the batting side, that was Nitesh today, to come in and bring that intensity and intent right from the start, to take any pressure away from what was happening in the game after wed started so well, was fantastic, he said. SRH eventually chased down the target with nine balls to spare, completing a clinical run chase in a high-scoring contest.

'Just Trying To Escape Him': Cummins On Facing Sooryavanshi

Skipper Pat Cummins: Skipper Pat Cummins admitted that stopping teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was the biggest challenge as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) registered a five-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. Cummins, who gave away just 27 in his four overs revealed that his bowling plan revolved around limiting Sooryavanshis impact by keeping him off strike as much as possible. Yeah, good start. IPL doesnt get any easier in terms of its big scores. So, got away with one tonight. The openers were going pretty hard. Young boy hits it pretty hard. Just trying to escape him really and try and bowl as many balls down the other end, he said in a video released by IPL on X.

New Delhi: Ishan Kishan marvelled at the fearless batting of teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, admitting that even opposition players are left wondering what the scorecard could have looked like had the youngster batted longer. Suryavanshi on Saturday hammered a stunning 37-ball 103 for against Sunrisers Hyderabad, marking his second IPL century with this one made off just 36 balls. Reflecting on his conversation with the 15-year-old, Kishan said, I was just telling him about the madness with which he is batting and how he is hitting. Sometimes, you are even scared thinking about what the scorecard could have looked if he had stayed for a few more overs. So, it was important for us to get his wicket. It was 228, it could have easily been 258. Cricket is all about comebacks. We got him out and made a little comeback there. Thats what I told him, When I am playing against you, please go a little easy on my team. I know all your secrets and inside stories, Kishan told JioStar. Vice-captain Kishan played a brilliant knock of 74 runs as Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down 229 runs target in 18.3 overs and registered a dominant five-wicket win against Rajasthan Royals (RR). Speaking about his role at No. 3, Kishan emphasised the importance of anchoring the innings and making life easier for others in the batting order. After having played for so many years as a No. 3 batter, if you are set, you look to score big and bat till the end. It makes the job easier for the other batters with you, as they dont feel the pressure. That is my only thinking, to keep things as simple as I can, be in a good headspace, and just take it one match at a time. If we play good cricket, the rest of the team will learn from it. In the end, its a team sport. When you play good cricket, it rubs off on the others. I have also made a lot of mistakes, so my only aim is not to repeat them, which unfortunately, I did in the end in this game.

So, I just wanted to improve my game and score as many runs as I could, even if that meant hitting more sixes than any other batter. Only consistent run-scoring can bring you back into the team. If 300 runs in a season are not enough, score 400; if not that, score 500. At the end of the day, cricket is our daily bread.

Brathwaite Urges Caution In Handling Suryavanshis Meteoric Rise

Former West Indies: Former West Indies cricketer Carlos Brathwaite has called for a careful approach in managing teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi. He believes the young player should be developed gradually instead of being rushed into international cricket, especially after his impressive performances in the IPL. I apologize, Vaibhav, but if you look at how West Indies handled Brian Lara, he was a generational talent. Everyone knew that, Brathwaite said on ESPNCricinfo TimeOut show following Suryavanshis stunning 37-ball 103 for Rajasthan Royals against Sunrisers Hyderabad, marking his second IPL century with this one made off just 36 balls. Brathwaite pointed out how Lara was nurtured within the system before taking on international competition. So what did West Indies do? They put him with top players like Viv Richards, but he didn't play international cricket. That was a different time with many tour games, and he developed his skills alongside senior players before making his debut. We all know how his career turned out after that, he explained. Brathwaite recommended a similar path for Suryavanshi, allowing him to learn in the Indian setup without the immediate pressure of international cricket. So maybe there is a way to combine both worlds where he can be part of the Indian team, learn from players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Suryakumar Yadav. There are other young players close to his age that he can learn from before just throwing him into the deep end. Former India wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta supported the call for caution, emphasizing that while Suryavanshi's talent is clear, its important to manage his mental growth. We've seen some really good talents struggle, Dasgupta said. People say he should be in the Indian side, and that's fair. But there are two sides to this story. You need technical skills and mental strength. Technically, he's therewe've seen how he plays against top bowlers. So we know he can handle that side. But on the mental side, he will face challenges. We have to be careful about how we handle that. Dasgupta noted Suryavanshis growth from his debut season to his second year in the IPL. The first year could have been a flash in the pan, an unknown player. But the second year is always tougher because bowlers have plans. We've seen what has happened in this second year. He is a very, very special talent. Technically, he's therewe've seen how he plays against top bowlers. So we know he can handle that side. But on the mental side, he will face challenges.

Adelaide Ashes Test: Sunrisers Hyderabad captqin Pat Cummins labelled teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi as his ew favourite player. He praised the 15-year-olds fearless style of play, even though Cummins led Sunrisers Hyderabad to victory in his return from injury during IPL 2026. I think hes my new favourite player, Cummins said after the match. He hits the ball so hard, its great to watch, its good fun. Youve got to be right on the money as a bowler because if youre not, its going a long way. Hes impressive, hes had a great start to his career and I like the way he plays, he takes the game on. Cummins, coming back from a back injury that disrupted his Ashes summer, faced a tough start when Suryavanshi hit his very first delivery for a six over mid-wicket. Giving up 11 runs in his opening over, it briefly seemed like another difficult night for bowlers in a tournament filled with high scores. However, the Australian fast bowler responded impressively. He finished with figures of 1-27, improving his lines by conceding just seven runs in his final two overs. He also delivered a perfect yorker to dismiss Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag, a moment that likely reassured Australias selectors after his long layoff Even as an opponent, Suryavanshi made a strong impression. The teenager scored a remarkable century off just 36 balls, having reached his fifty in only 15 deliveries. For Cummins, this match was a satisfying return after nearly 10 months of dealing with back issues. This period was only briefly interrupted by a six-wicket haul during the Adelaide Ashes Test. Im really happy. I was never quite sure how it would play out in the first game, he admitted. I pick it up better than I did 10 years ago. The IPLs fun. You always have to change the fields and use the bowlers. The batters constantly make you think. So, I enjoyed it; it felt pretty natural. His comeback also took place during an IPL season that has been tough for bowlers, with high-scoring games becoming common. Cummins took this challenge in stride, even joking about it. I guess you just work on your batting, he said with a laugh. Its a good challenge. You might have a bad couple of overs, but if you come back and bowl a really good death over, that can win the match. I actually think it somewhat takes the pressure off us bowlers, knowing our batting lineup can chase down whatever. The wickets might be flat, but its only 20 overs; its not a Test match that lasts five days. So, Im okay with that, a maximum of four overs. It is what it is. We build our team to focus on strong batting, and as bowlers, its our job to keep the runs down. The scores look a bit different than a few years ago, but the idea remains the same. I guess you just work on your batting, he said with a laugh. Its a good challenge. You might have a bad couple of overs, but if you come back and bowl a really good death over, that can win the match. I actually think it somewhat takes the pressure off us bowlers, knowing our batting lineup can chase down whatever.

IPL 2026: 'Dropped Catches Cost Us The Game,' Says Parag After RR Lost To SRH

Indian Premier League: Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Riyan Parag admitted that dropped chances proved costly as his side went down to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by five wickets in Match 36 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. Reflecting on the defeat, Parag said that while the team executed well in patches, lapses in the field hurt them badly. Skill-wise, we executed pretty nicely. But we dropped catches. Quality players like Abhishek can't be dropped. That will be a sight to behold. It is one part of the game. We have to be clinical, and fielding plays a major part, he said after the match. After being asked to bat first, Rajasthan Royals posted a strong 228/6, riding on a sensational 103 off 37 balls by young opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and a quickfire 51 from Dhruv Jurel. Late contributions from Donovan Ferreira and Shimron Hetmyer pushed the total past the 220-mark, putting RR in a commanding position at the innings break. However, SRH chased down the target comfortably with nine balls to spare, thanks to a blistering 74 off 31 balls from Ishan Kishan and a rapid 57 from Abhishek Sharma, who shared a match-defining 132-run partnership. Parag also felt that RR fell slightly short with the bat despite the big total. We left like 10-15 on the table, to be honest. They bowled well in the 18th and 19th over, executed the yorkers. We would have liked 10-15 more runs, he admitted. Speaking about his bowling decisions, Parag explained the reasoning behind turning to part-time options in the middle overs. They were two lefties, and I thought Don and I had a better chance of getting a wicket. The wicket was not spin-friendly. It didnt really go to plan, but I would do the same thing next time as well, he said. Parag also felt that RR fell slightly short with the bat despite the big total.

Indian Premier League: Jaipur, April 25 (IANS Vice-captain Ishan Kishan played a brilliant knock of 74 runs as Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down 229 runs target in 18.3 overs and registered a dominant five-wicket win against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 36th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. Earlier, 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi smashed a brilliant century, followed by a half-century by Dhruv Jurel as the Rajasthan Royals posted 228/6 in 20 overs. Chasing a massive target, Sunrisers Hyderabad had a shaky start as opener Travis Head was dismissed in the first over. He failed to make use of an early chance after being dropped by Dhruv Jurel off the first ball of Jofra Archers over, and scored just six off five balls. However, the pressure didnt last long as Nandre Burgers next over released it, conceding 10 runs with a wide and a boundary. SRH vice-captain Ishan Kishan then counterattacked brilliantly, taking on Archer with three boundaries in the third over. Abhishek Sharma joined the charge, hitting three fours off Burger in the following over. Abhishek also got a lifeline in the fifth over when Ravindra Jadeja dropped a simple catch. Kishan made full use of the momentum, smashing 19 runs in the final over of the powerplay as SRH raced to 89 runs in six overs. Both batters brought up their fifties quickly, Abhishek off 24 balls and Kishan off 25,putting RR bowlers under immense pressure. Their 132-run partnership was finally broken on the last ball of the 10th over when Archer took a fine catch to dismiss Abhishek for 57 off 29 balls. Kishan continued his aggressive batting alongside Heinrich Klaasen, keeping SRH firmly in control. He eventually fell for a match-winning 74 off 31 balls, edging a short ball from Archer. After his dismissal, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Klaasen steadied the chase with smart running. Klaasen later hit a big six in the 17th over, with Nitish also clearing the ropes. Nitish scored 36 off 18 before getting out, while Klaasen made 29 off 24. Salil Arora sealed the chase with a six as SRH reached the target with nine balls to spare. Rajasthan Royals made a blazing start after being asked to bat first, led by young opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who dominated from the outset. He smashed four sixes in the opening over off Praful Hinge, collecting 25 runs and setting the tone. The momentum continued as Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal hit a six each off Pat Cummins in the next over. Sunrisers Hyderabad got an early breakthrough when Eshan Malinga dismissed Jaiswal for 10, but RR kept up the scoring rate. Sooryavanshi brought up a rapid half-century in just 15 balls as RR reached 73/1 at the end of the powerplay. He then built a strong partnership with Dhruv Jurel, who played a composed yet impactful knock. Jurel accelerated in the middle overs, including a 101-metre six, and reached his fifty before falling to Nitish Kumar Reddy for 51 off 25 balls. Sooryavanshi continued his aggressive approach and raced to a stunning century in just 36 balls, eventually scoring 103 off 37 deliveries before being dismissed.

Asked to bat first, Rajasthan Royals got off to a flying start, thanks to young opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. He came out all guns blazing and took on Praful Hinge in the very first over, smashing four sixes and collecting 25 runs. The aggressive intent continued in the next over as Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal hit a six each off Pat Cummins, who was playing his first match of the season. Sunrisers Hyderabad managed to pull things back briefly in the third over when Eshan Malinga dismissed Jaiswal with a clever slower delivery. Jaiswal made 10 runs off eight balls, including one six. Despite the wicket, RR maintained a strong scoring rate. Sooryavanshi continued to dominate and brought up his half-century in just 15 balls, hitting a six off Sakib Hussain in the final over of the powerplay. Rajasthan Royals ended the first six overs at a commanding 73/1. Sooryavanshi kept attacking and found good support from Dhruv Jurel, who rotated the strike well and kept the scoreboard ticking. In the 11th over, Jurel shifted gears by smashing a massive 101-metre six off Malinga, followed by a boundary on the next ball. He went on to score a quick fifty off 34 balls but was dismissed on the very next delivery by Nitish Kumar Reddy while attempting a pull shot. Jurel scored 51 off 25 balls, hitting eight fours and one six. Even after losing his partner, Sooryavanshi did not slow down. He continued his fearless batting and reached his second IPL century in just 36 balls, hitting back-to-back sixes off Sakib Hussain in the 14th over. However, his innings came to an end on the very next ball when he was trapped LBW while trying to play a reverse scoop. His stunning knock of 103 came off just 37 balls and included five fours and 12 sixes. Rajasthan Royals faced another setback in the 17th over when captain Riyan Parag was bowled by Pat Cummins for just 7 runs off 9 balls, continuing his poor run this season. In the final overs, Donovan Ferreira provided the late push with a quickfire 33 off 16 balls, hitting three fours and three sixes. He was dismissed in the 19th over while attempting another big shot off Malinga. Shimron Hetmyer added 11 runs as the Rajasthan Royals comfortably crossed the 220-run mark.

Indian Premier League: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match 36th of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. Captain Pat Cummins is back for SRH and leading the side for the first time in the season. Cummins has replaced Dilshan Madushanka, while Praful Hinge is back in place of Harsh Dubey in the SRH playing XI. SRH is coming to the contest after a dominant win over the Delhi Capitals. They have won four out of seven matches and are placed at number four in the points table with eight points and a positive net run rate of +0.820. The Rajasthan Royals are also entering the match with a big victory over the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their last match. They have won five out of seven matches and are placed at number 2 in the points table with 10 points and a positive net run rate of 0.790. After winning the toss, SRH skipper Cummins spoke about returning after injury and team performance so far. We're going to have a bowl first. The wicket looks good, but we have to see what we need to chase down. Still really fresh. It's been a little while, but I've had really good preparation, a couple of bowls over here. I haven't played a game for a while, so we'll see how we go. But the body feels awesome, he said after winning the toss. On Ishan Kishan's captaincy, he said, He's fantastic. Yeah, four wins from the first seven games. I think he played the style that we really try and lead into here at SRH, that aggressive, fearless style approach. We know the pitch really well in Hyderabad. I think the challenge when you go play away is trying to sense what a good score is, what short work or ball work. So I think it's the first game for this venue for the season, so it'll be a challenge for both teams. Yeah, I've come in for Madushanka, and Hinge has come in, Harsh Dubey, he added. While after losing the toss, RR captain Riyan Parag said, We were looking to do that as well. But the last couple of seasons, we have not done well chasing, no problems batting first.

Cummins also had special praise for stand-in captain Ishan Kishan, who has led the side in his absence in the opening seven matches. Boys have been on fire. It's been great to watch, so hopefully I can add something. I think for the most part, Ishan was good. I think when it comes to tosses, he was absolutely terrible. But outside of that, he was excellent. You know, he's been brewing, lots of energy, really good tactical moves from, you know, looking from the outside in, he said. He's obviously a great thinker of the game. And alongside, you know, Abhishek out there as well, they've been running it, and it looks pretty smooth. So yeah, when I'm out there, I'm sure I'll be leaning on those guys as well. But yeah, well done, Ishan, he's been awesome, he added. Cummins also spoke about the challenges that pacers face in the IPL and how well the SRH young bowling attack has performed so far. IPL is a very tough place for fast bowlers, but I thought, I think all our guys have been exceptional. You know, a few of the young guys have come in, he said. I think it's, well, I've certainly found it really hard to find the pace of IPL. Those guys look like they've, you know, hit it straight away. They've got the feel of the game. They're sequencing their variations brilliantly so far. So, you know, they already look like the complete players. It's not going to happen perfectly every game, but they've had a great start, he added. IPL is a very tough place for fast bowlers, but I thought, I think all our guys have been exceptional. You know, a few of the young guys have come in, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Australian Test captain cleared the fitness test on Friday and will take the field against the Rajasthan Royals.

IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch LSG Vs KKR, Know All Details

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Lucknow Super Giants are set to face Kolkata Knight Riders in their eighth match of the Indian Premier League 2026 season on Sunday evening at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. LSG head into the fixture after a setback against Rajasthan Royals, a result that has put them under pressure in the standings. Despite the loss, there were encouraging signs from the bowling unit, which delivered disciplined performances. Mohammed Shami, Prince Yadav and Mohsin Khan stood out with economical spells. Led by Rishabh Pant, the Super Giants have had an inconsistent first half of the campaign and now face a crucial phase. With seven league matches remaining, the team will be aiming to string together victories to keep their playoff hopes alive. Their previous encounter with Kolkata produced a nail-biting finish, with Lucknow edging out a three-wicket win off the final delivery. On that occasion, Mukul Choudhary played a match-winning knock of 54 not out from just 27 balls, smashing seven sixes to guide his side home in dramatic fashion. For Kolkata, concerns remain around their bowling resources. Injuries to key pacers Harshit Rana and Akash Deep have weakened the attack, while experienced campaigners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy have yet to consistently hit top form. However, Chakravarthy showed signs of resurgence recently with a three-wicket haul against Rajasthan, offering some optimism for the defending champions.

Indian Peacock Brings Handloom into Everyday Fashion to Support Artisan Livelihoods

Indian handloom weavers, masters of generational craft, were being written out of their own story. Their textiles ended up in museums or marked " ethnic wear ," while their livelihoods grew uncertain and their knowledge faced quiet extinction   The hands behind every Indian Peacock piece     Not because the craft wasn't valuable. Because the path from loom to life had too many barriers. Indian Peacock attempts to bridge these gaps through direct collaboration. Founded by architect Preethi Pathireddy, The Indian Peacock is where her decade-long journey in architecture meets her deep-rooted love for texture, form, and cultural heritage. An Ivy League alumna, Preethi has always been intuitive in her design approach, drawing connections between structure and softness, craft and utility. What began as a personal exploration of India's textile legacy soon grew into a brand committed to slow fashion and conscious living. We collaborate with handloom artisans across India. Jamdani weavers of West Bengal, Ikat weavers of Telangana, handblock print artisans of Rajasthan, and Mangalgiri weavers of Andhra Pradesh. They are not vendors, but partners. We know their craft, their processes, and their stories. We support them with fair wages, and consistent work, not just seasonal demand. This isn't about " modernizing " traditional craft. We do something simple: we make their work wearable for everyday life. We design structured shirts, versatile kurtas, and thoughtfully made coord sets for everyday wear. We don’t approach craft as fusion or occasionwear. Our intent is to bring handwoven textiles into the rhythm of life, to be worn often, lived in, and relied on. Because craft survives not through occasional admiration, but through relevance and consistent use. A handwoven garment becomes something you reach for week after week. Instead of a mass-produced alternative, it creates quiet continuity. It keeps looms active, skills relevant, and livelihoods steady. Handloom survives not through admiration or occasional wear, but through everyday choices that keep the craft alive, relevant, and in motion. This is how we reclaim the narrative: by putting artisan craft back to where it's always belonged. Indian Peacock isn't rescuing artisans, they need markets, respect, and fair economics. We're providing that. We're not preserving tradition in amber. We're proving it's alive and necessary. Every garment carries the maker's presence. Every collection starts with the textile, not the trend. Every decision asks: does this serve the craft and the craftsperson? Because when Indian textiles move from heritage looms to modern streets, wearing the artisan's dignity along with their weave, the story becomes theirs again. This work extends beyond the loom. In our Hyderabad studio, every garment moves through the hands of a team that cuts, stitches, and finishes each piece with the same attention to detail the textile began with. Craft does not exist in isolation, and neither do we. Fair wages, consistent work, and a supportive environment are principles we apply across everyone involved in the process, not just in idea, but in practice. And we're just here to make sure it gets told, thoughtfully, consistently, and with the care of a team that believes in it.

IPL 2026: Sai Sudharsan Becomes Fastest Batter To Reach 2000 Runs

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Sai Sudharsan made Indian Premier League (IPL) history by becoming the fastest batter to reach 2,000 runs, achieving this milestone in just 47 innings during the Gujarat Titans game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Bengaluru on Friday. The left-hander surpassed Chris Gayle, who previously held the record by reaching the mark in 48 innings. Sudharsan now has over 2,000 runs from 47 matches with an impressive average and strike rate, showing his consistency at the top of the order with several fifties and centuries. Interestingly, this milestone comes in what has been a modest IPL 2026 season for Sudharsan. He scored only 135 runs in his first six innings, including just one fifty against the Rajasthan Royals, and had trouble converting good starts in other games. He became only the second player, after Shubman Gill, to hit this milestone for the franchise. At the end of nine overs, he was batting 85 off 49 balls and led the innings with nine fours and four sixes. The left-hander also became one of the fastest players to reach this mark in terms of balls faced, totalling 1,361. He joined an elite group that includes Abhishek Sharma, Virender Sehwag, and Rishabh Pant, highlighting his consistency and impact.

IPL 2026: 'I Visualise These Situations,' Says Jadeja On His Fighting Knock Vs LSG

Lucknow Super Giants: Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja credited his mental preparation and ability to visualise pressure scenarios for his match-winning performance in RRs 40-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Wednesday. I had a magic wand in my pocket. As soon as I put my hand in it, I felt something. Why did you move ahead in such a team? I have played in such a situation for so many years. My batting has never been in such a situation in my entire career. I have played in such a situation very rarely. I have got used to this thing, Jadeja said in a video released by Rajasthan Royals on Friday. In a low-scoring encounter, Jadejas unbeaten 43 off 29 balls lifted Rajasthan Royals to 159/6, with a crucial late flourish alongside Shubham Dubey. His late assault, including a 20-run final over, proved decisive on a tricky surface. Reflecting on his mindset, Jadeja emphasised the importance of mental rehearsal. This thing keeps running in my mind. This situation can also come in a T20 game. If the wicket fell 3-4, then I would have to go and handle the batting. I visualise this and see myself in the same situation. I get a lot of help in this. I keep thinking about that situation. I get a lot of benefit from it, he said. Defending 159, which is the lowest total successfully defended this season, RR's bowlers produced a clinical effort to bundle out LSG for just 119 in 18 overs. Jofra Archer starred with 3-20, while Nandre Burger and Brijesh Sharma picked up two wickets each as LSG slumped to their fourth straight loss despite Mitchell Marshs fighting 55. Jadeja noted that the pitch conditions played a significant role in shaping his approach with both bat and ball. Wicket was not that easy. Personally, I felt that it was not a typical T20 wicket. There were some fast bowlers on the wicket. There was a seam. There was a swing, too. It was not that easy to hit a shot in the T20 format in today's wicket. Jadeja, who also took one crucial wicket, explained his bowling strategy, where he mixed his pace effectively to trouble the LSG batters. When I came to bowl, I felt that I could use the pace of the ball. My plan succeeded. When I was batting, I felt that the ball was not coming well on the bat. It was getting stuck. There was a little grip, he said. Jadeja, who also took one crucial wicket, explained his bowling strategy, where he mixed his pace effectively to trouble the LSG batters.
