IPL 2026: If We Get A Bit Of Momentum Going, Then All Goes Well, Says Glenn Phillips
Indian Premier League: The Gujarat Titans' batting all-rounder Glenn Phillips believes getting some momentum through their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against the Delhi Capitals will be key to turning around the teams fortunes in the ongoing season. GT, the IPL 2022 winners, have been winless so far, and a win in New Delhi will help them get off the mark on the points table. It's the same for me as it is for everyone else. We got ourselves into a very good position, the last game especially (against Rajasthan Royals). Obviously, we didn't finish off the things well, so for us it's all about backing our processes, staying well, and doing well. Today is a new day, and it's a long tournament - if we get a bit of momentum going, then all goes well, said Phillips in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. The New Zealand cricketer further stressed focusing only on controllable aspects and drawing motivation from the small wins he gets while playing games. For me, it's about staying focused on things that I can control. Cricket is a funny game. I just tend to focus on things that make me happy, like getting into the team, sticking to my processes as much as possible, and taking the little wins wherever they are. Hopefully that'll keep me up and motivated for the next day, he said. Phillips also lauded GTs newly-appointed batting coach, Matthew Hayden, for his process-driven approach in guiding the batters. He has been fantastic. He was simply a process-driven player back in his day. I just tend to focus on things that make me happy, like getting into the team, sticking to my processes as much as possible, and taking the little wins wherever they are. Hopefully that'll keep me up and motivated for the next day, he said.

IPL 2026: Gill Returns To Lead Gujarat Titans As Delhi Capitals Opt To Bowl First
Indian Premier League: Shubman Gill returned to lead the Gujarat Titans as Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel won the toss and elected to bowl first in Match 14 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Wednesday. DC arrive for their first evening game at their home ground after winning back-to-back games, while GT, the IPL 2022 winners, get in to get off the mark on the points table. After winning the toss for the third straight time, Axar said his playing eleven is unchanged from their six-wicket win over the Mumbai Indians. We've chased well in the last two matches, and this is a fresh wicket. It's been raining; there could be some moisture. Obviously, we watch as many match-ups as possible, and we try to make it as difficult as possible for the batters to hit. I don't just use match-ups. According to the wicket, if any bowler gives me a good run, then I rotate him according to that. So far, in two matches, it's been good. I hope it continues, he said. Gill, meanwhile, said his neck is much better after a muscle spasm there led to him missing the game against the Rajasthan Royals in Ahmedabad, which GT lost by six runs. Gill, who said the muscle spasm was similar to the injury he suffered in the Kolkata Test against South Africa last year, said he would have batted first anyway. With Gill coming in, Kumar Kushagra moves out of GTs playing eleven. If the weather stays this way, there'll be no dew in the second innings. I mean, it's all about assessing the conditions in the first couple of overs. I think we've been having some good opening partnerships with me and Sai (Sudharsan). So, hopefully, we have a good Power-play and then we can post some good totals along the board. It's all about clicking in that one game. Even in the last game, we came pretty close, losing by not that many runs. Its just one guy sticking till the end, whether someone from the middle order or from the top order, and maybe today is the day, he said. Pitch number five is being used for Wednesdays clash, which means the square boundaries are equidistant, while the straight boundary stands at 73m. Kevin Pietersen and Daren Ganga observed that theres less grass cover on the pitch, and its lighter colours mean it may be a dry wicket, but still conducive for making big runs.

IPL 2026: 'Mumbai Indians Were Already Behind The Game Within First Few Overs,' Says Chawla
Indian Premier League: Former Indian spinner Piyush Chawla believes that the five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) were already behind in the game from the start of their chase against Rajasthan Royals (RCB) in their third match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 played at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday as they lost early wickets which increased the pressure. Mumbai Indians had a poor start, losing three important wickets in just the first three overs while chasing 151 runs in an 11-over rain-affected match. Chawla said that the early blows made the chase very difficult. Rajasthan Royals looked ready from the start, especially in the Powerplay. Their batting gave them a strong start. With the ball, Jofra Archer bowled really well, and Nandre Burger picked up key wickets. When you are chasing 150 in 11 overs and lose three wickets for around 20 runs, it becomes very hard. Mumbai Indians were already behind in the first few overs, Chawla told Jio Hotstar. He also praised Yashasvi Jaiswal for his unbeaten 77 runs, which gave Rajasthan a strong start.

Sooryavanshi Makes It Look Easy Against One Of The 'worlds Best Bowlers' Bumrah: Kumble
Former India: Former India captain Anil Kumble lauded Rajasthan Royals batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's fearless approach against India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah in a win over Mumbai Indians (MI) in a rain-curtailed IPL 2026 clash, saying the teenager makes it look easy against one of the worlds best bowlers. RR rode on an explosive 80-run opening stand between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi to beat MI by 27 runs in a rain-curtailed match at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday and registered their third straight victory of the IPL 2026 campaign. Jaiswal began the innings with a bang as he hit Deepak Chahar for four boundaries and a maximum to extract 22 runs off the very first over. Sooryavanshi then welcomed Bumrah to the attack by dispatching the ball over mid-on. Two balls later, the ball disappeared over deep square leg as the hosts posted a daunting 150. Kumble singled out Sooryavanshis audacious strokeplay in the powerplay and his calculated assault on Bumrah, as a defining moment in the match. Sooryavanshi makes it look easy against one of the worlds best bowlers. First ball, he hits him for a six and then sets him up. He set the bowler up, not the other way around. Weve generally seen Bumrah set up batters so many times, but here, Sooryavanshi set Bumrah up to bowl that slower ball on the third delivery, and he was waiting for it to hit him for another six, Kumble told JioStar. It was brilliant batting by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, just the way he strikes the ball and the consistency he has shown in terms of strike-rate. He is striking at close to 300 in every game and scoring more than 30 runs consistently, which is outstanding, he added. In response, MI's innings stuttered to 123/9 in the allotted 11 overs as all five RR bowlers used on the night registered in the wickets column. Assessing MIs chase, Kumble pointed to a lack of clarity and intensity, both with the ball and during the pursuit of a steep target.

Mumbai allowed Rajasthan Royals to post a mammoth 150/3 in 11 overs, virtually sealing the match in the Power-play itself. Chasing a massive target of 151, the Mumbai Indians suffered a top-order collapse, were reduced to 46/5 before ending their 11 overs at 123/9, losing by 27 runs.

Bowlers need to take responsibility. As a bowling group, we were not up to the mark. They (RR openers) also played tremendously, said Pandya in the post-match presentation. Pandya said he would not blame his batters for not scoring enough runs in the Power-play. I would not put the blame on batting. Definitely the bowling unit, which had to take responsibility.

IPL 2026: Jaiswal's Unbeaten 77 Helps RR Beat Mumbai Indians By 27 Runs In Rain-hit Match
Indian Premier League: Yashasvi Jaiswal hammered a half-century and raised 80 runs for the opening wicket with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi at breakneck pace as Rajasthan Royals thrashed Mumbai Indians by 27 runs in a rain-shortened 11-overs-a-side Match 13 in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday. This is Rajasthan Royals' third successive win as they took the top table with six points. After Yashasvi Jaiswal hammered a sensational 77 not out off 32 balls, smashing 10 boundaries and four sixes, to help Rajasthan Royals post a mammoth 150/3, the bowlers took over as they reduced Mumbai Indians for 46/5 in the fifth over, sending back Ryan Rickelton, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and HardikPandya for single digit scores in the match, which was delayed by two-and-a-half hours because of rain. Mi failed to recover from the top-order collapse and slumped to their second successive defeat as Rajasthan bowlers did well, mixing up their deliveries. Chasing a massive target of 151, the Mumbai Indians succumbed to scoreboard pressure as they lost Ryan Rickelton (8), who hammered a six on the previous delivery, off the last ball of the first over, the South African opener miscuing Jofra Archer a mile high and was pouched by keeper Dhruv Jurel in the short third region. Suryakumar Yadav (6) paddled Nandre Burger to six of the second ball he faced and fell a legal delivery later, hitting straight down the throat of Jofra Archer at deep backward square leg as Mumbai slumped to 20/2. Sandeep Sharma pushed Mumbai Indians further into the abyss when he pinned Rohit Sharma on the crease for a plumb lbw decision, upheld by DRS, as the five-time champions were reduced to 22/3 in the third over. Sandeep got Rohit for the sixth time in IPL. With the Mumbai Indians needing 126 for 46 balls, Tilak Varma struck Tushar Deshpande for a four, as did skipper Hardik Pandya, as they scored 11 runs off the fourth over. Pandya (9) struck Ravi Bishnoi for a four and then slapped the next one straight to Jaiswal at long-on, and MI were down to 41/4. Tilak Varma smashed straight into the hands of Shimron Hetmyer at deep mid-wicket, getting out for 14 off 10 balls -- MI down to 46/5. Naman Dhir whacked Sandeep Sharma over cow corner for a six and an edged four, scoring 14 runs off the sixth over, leaving the Mumbai Indians needing 91 from 30 balls. Sherfane Rutherford hit Bishnoi for boundaries off successive balls and a couple of huge sixes off Deshpande before slicing hard to short-third, where Sandeep Sharma picks a sensational catch, inches above the ground, diving forward. That ended Mumbai's fight, and they ended at 123/9 in 11 overs, slumping to their second successive defeat. Asked to bat first, Rajasthan Royals were off to a blistering start as Yashasvi Jaiswal hammered four boundaries and a six to score 22 runs off the first over bowled by Deepak Chahar, who bowled a couple of loose deliveries, attempting to get the ball to swing. The much-anticipated face-off between the 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Jasprit Bumrah went in favour of the teenager as he whipped the seasoned pacer for two sixes -- one over mid-on and the other over deep square leg as Rajasthan Royals blasted 14 runs from the second over. Jaiswal welcomed Trent Boult with sixes off his first two balls, as the bowler strayed onto the pads on the first delivery and went down outside off on the next. A single later, Sooryavanshi hammered a big one, picking a shortish delivery off his pads to plant it into the stands over deep backward square leg as RR blazed to fifty in just 16 balls. Hardik Pandya, who returned to playing XI after missing the last match, bowled a fine over and conceded only four runs in the fourth over, but the caning of the bowlers continued as Shardul Thakur's first ball was thrashed out of the ground by Sooryavanshi. He followed the six with a four off the second and another six off the fifth ball. However, Thakur had the last laugh as he had Sooryavanshi caught by Tilak Varma, a few feet before the boundary rope, timing his jump to perfection. Sooryavanshi smashed 39 off 14 balls, hitting one four and five sixes. Dhruv Jurel (2) survived only three balls, trapped lbw by Ghazanfar with one that skidded and rapped the batter on the back pad as RR dropped to 84/2. Jaiswal continued batting in fourth gear, putting on display brilliant power-hitting as he blazed to his half-century off 23 balls with a four off a short and wide one by Pandya. He celebrated the milestone with a six off the first ball of the ninth over, bowled by Ghazanfar. Skipper Riyan Parag struck a six each off Pandya and Ghazanfar before holing out to Tilak Varma near the long-on fence, returning to the dugout after a 10-ball 20, studded with one four and two sixes. Jaiswal struck Bumrah for a six in the 10th over as the left-handed opener remained unbeaten with 77. Ghazanfar was the best MI bowler with 2-21 in two overs. Dhruv Jurel (2) survived only three balls, trapped lbw by Ghazanfar with one that skidded and rapped the batter on the back pad as RR dropped to 84/2.

IPL 2026: Shubman Gill To Play In GT's Clash Against DC, Confirms Sai Sudharsan
Arun Jaitley Stadium: Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill will be available for the team's upcoming IPL 2026 against Delhi Capitals (DC), to be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday, confirmed his opening partner B Sai Sudharsan. Gill missed GTs clash against Rajasthan Royals, which they lost by six runs in Ahmedabad, due to a muscle spasm. Shubman has no problem. He is completely fine, he will be fine. Of course, yes (he will open), said Sudharsan in the pre-match press conference. Gill's availability comes as a major boost for IPL 2022 winners GT, who are yet to open their account in the ongoing tournament after consecutive defeats. Sudharsan, however, expressed confidence in the team's ability to bounce back, especially in their middle order batters. I think it is a mixture of both - as opening batters and top three batters, if someone plays longer, it is always a great thing for the team. I think we believe in our middle order, they will (come good). This is the team which you know in which we played last year and we qualified. So it is just two games and I believe and the whole team believes that we will definitely have a great middle order and win games. IPL is such a tournament where in two-three days when you keep on playing matches, momentum is one of the important things in the tournament. Yes, we look back on these 2 games and we have learnt a lot for sure and I think we will look forward to doing that, so that we get our first win and get the momentum back, he said. Left-handed opener Sudharsan has made 86 runs in two games so far and was the leading run-getter in IPL 2025. He further stated that he is always working hard to evolve his batting as per the fast-growing demands of T20 cricket. I think I do not look at it as a different tournament. Wherever I play, whatever matches I play, the preparation is very similar and the effort or the hard work behind it is very similar. I am just grateful and lucky enough to execute it here. Definitely as the sport is evolving and the T20 batting is getting greater and greater every season or even every 5-6 months if you can see, it is very important for me to learn from it and be versatile enough to have that in my kitty and equip myself with that. So definitely there are improvements to be made and of course, I am looking at it. Sudharsan also shed light on his mental preparation routine, which he said plays a decisive role in his performances. In most of the part is mental preparation, I think once the pre-season camp is over, I think it is all about fine tuning and having your thoughts clear and having your mind sorted and organised is the biggest thing. I put a lot of time on that - I do yoga, meditation, and visualisation to keep myself mentally fit. Elaborating on GTs batting approach at the top of the order, Sudharsan stressed on reading conditions and building a platform rather than going all guns blazing from the word go. It is important to understand what is required on this wicket to do and then what is required for our team to have a very good start so that our middle order or the lower order have a very good platform to launch in the last four-five overs. Sudharsan also shed light on his mental preparation routine, which he said plays a decisive role in his performances.

Top 5 Youngsters Who Stole The Spotlight In IPL 2026 So Far
The ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 has so far belonged to a fearless new generation of cricketers who have made an immediate impact with bat, ball and in the field. In just the first 11 matches of the season, several young stars have stepped into the spotlight, underlining the leagues growing reputation as a platform where emerging talent thrives under pressure. Among the standout performers are Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Sameer Rizvi, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Prince Yadav and Harsh Dubey, all of whom have played crucial roles for their respective franchises with performances that are ahead of their age and experience. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: The teenage sensation from Bihar has continued his meteoric rise after impressing in age-group and domestic cricket. Carrying his form from recent international youth tournaments into the IPL, he has amassed 252 runs in just seven matches at a staggering strike rate of over 200. His campaign in IPL 2026 began with a blistering 15-ball half-century against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), followed by another explosive innings against Gujarat Titans, setting the tone for the Rajasthan Royals strong start. Sameer Rizvi: Rizvi, who first made headlines in the UP T20 League, has scripted a remarkable comeback after a quiet stint in IPL 2024. Picked up by Delhi Capitals (DC) in the mega auction, the middle-order batter has seized his opportunities this season with back-to-back match-winning performances under pressure. Despite not being a regular starter initially, his consistency has now cemented his place in the playing XI. He scored 70 runs against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the team's first match and then played a match winning 90 runs knock against the Mumbai Indians. Angkrish Raghuvanshi: For Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Raghuvanshi has emerged as a bright spark in an otherwise mixed start to the season. The Mumbai youngster has impressed with successive half-centuries at the top of the order and has also taken on wicketkeeping responsibilities, highlighting the team managements confidence in his all-round abilities. Despite not being a regular starter initially, his consistency has now cemented his place in the playing XI.

Heinrich Klaasen Praises Ishan Kishans Captaincy as SRH Eye Momentum in IPL 2026
Sunrisers Hyderabad big-hitting batter Heinrich Klaasen has lavished praise on skipper Ishan Kishan, calling him a superb captain and adding the way the side responds to the young wicketkeeper-batter has been just phenomenal, apart from his calmness in decision making and willingness to lean on experienced players in the set-up. Kishan was named as SRHs interim captain due to regular skipper Pat Cummins being unavailable for the initial part owing to his recovery from a lumbar stress issue. Under him, SRH have won one match while losing two games and are at fifth place on the points table. Look, I think he's been superb so far. He's a guy who does ask for advice. Like I said, we've got a lot of experience in the change room. So he leans on that as well. But his decision-making, the way he changes the bowlers, the way the team listens to him is just phenomenal so far. So like I said, we're in superb hands, and he's luckily not an arrogant guy at all, which makes it a lot easier. He's a really enjoyable captain to play under. So there's a lot of jokes in between to make it not so serious, because I think this environment can really be a tough environment to play under. I think he's been superb, and he had some success in the domestic scene as well. I think his domestic team won a competition (Jharkhand won Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy under his captaincy). So there's a lot of experience in that aspect. But so far, I really do enjoy his captaincy, and he's been incredible so far, said Klaasen, while replying to a query from IANS in the JioStar Press Room ahead of IPL 2026 Rivalry Week. Despite SRH losing two games this season, Klaasen said his own form 145 runs in three games, including two half-centuries - have given him personal satisfaction, particularly given his limited game time after retiring from international cricket and playing only franchise T20 leagues. Unfortunately, we've lost two games. But on a personal note, it's been a good start, especially because one of my biggest concerns is not playing as much cricket as I used to. Also, it's to see if I can still keep up with the standard that I set myself with. So, pretty good start for me, and hopefully this form will continue, he said. After playing against Punjab Kings in New Chandigarh, 2016 IPL champions SRH will play three games on the trot at their home venue against Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals. The clash against CSK, the five-time champions who are yet to get off the mark in the points table, will be of huge interest and Klaasen acknowledged the fixture carries added significance. Look, it's always fun playing against them, and knowing that our owners are also coming from Chennai, they do put an emphasis on that we need to win over them or beat them. So there will always be added pressure on that game, but it's still a good game. All the teams that you have to play in the IPL, you have to be at your best and put your best performance in the game. So hopefully we can get that little bit of momentum going into the next game and then face Chennai back home. The wicket hopefully will be a little bit better, and then if we can get one over them going into their home ground, I think we should be in a good position to take them down this season, he elaborated. Klaasen also talked about the tactical challenge of facing spinners from opposition teams who have clearly studied his game closely. The boundaries are not the biggest in the world. We're used to some big boundaries as well. But the wickets are fantastic. So, it's a nice place to come back in. But it's still a big challenge. I know they're coming for me and they know I'm coming for them. I see this season they've got a couple of game plans. So, I need to get back on to doing some good homework against them and finding new ways of scoring against them, he said. On the toughest spinner hes faced in his IPL career, Klaasen named senior leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal without any hesitation. It's an easy answer Yuzi Chahal. We've come a long way. We've had some great battles over the last couple of years, especially in my career. He's a quality bowler, a very clever bowler. I think we're about 50-50 on winning those battles. He's a good mate of mine as well, so it makes it even better just to fight against him on the pitch, he said. The hard-hitting batter signed off by calling the IPL the pinnacle competition in franchise T20 cricket. It's by far the toughest franchise cricket competition that there is. I feel sometimes it's tougher than international cricket. It also depends on who you play. But the standard of cricket and obviously the conditions play a big part of it. Every year you just see a new Indian player coming out that you never know about, and you just keep on producing the goods. So the talent that they've got, it just sets the standard so high.

I think Mumbai Indians, the two players you don't want to be missing out in the playing XI, one is of course just with Bumrah and the other is Hardik Pandya. Because Hardik Pandya, you need two players to replace him. We saw that balance sort of getting a bit upset in the last game, Kumble said in a video shared by Star Sports on X. He further elaborated on Pandyas multidimensional impact, pointing out that his contribution goes far beyond just runs with the bat, saying, So hopefully for Mumbai Indians, Hardik will play. If he plays, it's not just the batting, it's also the way he bats. The way he bats situations and his four overs. With the new ball, he's able to bowl. He comes and bowls in the death as well. So he's a perfect all-rounder. Kumble emphasised that players of Pandyas calibre are rare in modern cricket, highlighting his consistency across formats and situations.
