CRICKET | The match-up between Gujarat Titans pace attack against the marauding batters from Rajasthan Royals could define who wins this crucial game
Kolkata Knight Riders: Delhi Capitals left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc said he has settled back into the rhythm of T20 cricket and hopes to spark a turnaround in momentum as his side prepares to face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their IPL 2026 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Seventh-placed DC are having eight points and need to break their four-game losing streak at home if they are to be alive in the race to playoffs. Starc joined DC from their clash against Rajasthan Royals last week and has picked three wickets in two games. It took me sort of the first game to get up to speed with T20 again, but third game for me, and hopefully we can change a bit of our momentum as well. Oh, easy to say coming from a 36yearold with some experience, but I just feel like I got to a place where I could make sure I tick all the boxes of things that I feel like I need to execute skillwise. I've always kind of had that fitness side where I feel like I know what I need to get my body right from a fitness perspective in terms of the gym and the running and time on legs. I could do what I needed to do in terms of T20 cricket with the execution of yorkers, the different skill sets over four overs, not so much the workload side of things, but more about executing the different balls required in this format of the game, Starc said in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. On the challenge of bowling in the powerplay, Starc explained: I guess it's about getting your head around the size of the grounds here and the wickets and sort of taking, I guess we've heard it time again, taking the ego out of it in terms of the bowling side of things. I guess there's a lot of expectation on the batters these days. You're looking at scores of 250plus or scores over 200 a lot of the time. So the expectation there is there for the batters. In terms of the bowlers, it's trying to stay a step ahead, try not to be too predictable. We know that the runs are going to flow at times in the power play. It's just trying to take those wickets and trying to get into that middle order through a power play is the best way to stem the flow of runs. So you've got to take the luck when you've got it, but also try and, I guess, not get too far down when the ball does tend to flow around a little bit. Assessing the pitches in New Delhi, where varied surfaces have been on offer in the competition so far, Starc, who won IPL 2024 with KKR, stated that adaptability will be the key to break their hoodoo at home. I watched a couple from the sides when I first got here. I guess the thing that we've taken from this ground is we've had a different wicket every time we've played here. So I guess it's adapting the quickest out of the teams and we probably haven't done that to the best of our abilities at home so far this year. I think we're playing on the wicket that was the Punjab game, which I was here at and watched. If it's like that game, it might be nice for batting. But I think it's taking out what's happened in terms of our season or games here and just approaching this game with the best of our ability. KKR wicketkeeper-batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi said every clash is important for them to have a slight chance at entering the playoffs. I think every game from now is very important. I think I value it (the ongoing season) by the team's success and I think it was tough at first, but we're finally getting going. If it's like that game, it might be nice for batting. But I think it's taking out what's happened in terms of our season or games here and just approaching this game with the best of our ability. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I think it's very important, and it's been really good. I think I haven't been thinking about that too much. It's just been watching the ball and trying to do what I feel at that moment is best for the team. Article Source: IANS

Highlighting the transformative impact of emerging technologies, he stressed on the importance of ensuring integrated national preparedness across all spectrums of conflict. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh appreciated the progress achieved in enhancing jointness, integration and technological adoption across the three Services.

Future wars will not be won solely through weaponry, but through innovative thinking and enhanced synergy, he said. Defence Minister exhorted the Commanders to cultivate the element of surprise to remain unpredictable to the nations adversaries and secure a strategic edge in any given situation. He, however, urged them to remain vigilant of the element of surprise of the enemy and always stay two steps ahead. Defence Minister reiterated Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Governments commitment to enhancing the capabilities of the defence forces through state-of-the-art weapons and platforms. He added that special focus is being laid on research in niche domains. During the conference, Defence Minister released a documentary film on Operation Sindoor. The film reaffirms the Nations and Defence Forces commitment to operational preparedness and decisive national response capabilities. He also released the Hindi Version of Vision 2047 and the Joint Doctrine for Integrated Communication Architecture, aimed at strengthening doctrinal clarity, interoperability and integrated communications across the Armed Forces in future multidomain operations. The conference, themed Military Capability in New Domains, brought together the top leadership of the Ministry of Defence and the Indian Defence Forces to deliberate on emerging security challenges & future readiness. Comprehensive deliberations were held on future warfare, multidomain operations, technological transformation and joint capability development. The conference witnessed extensive discussions on cognitive warfare, cyber resilience against evolving quantum and AI-enabled threats, military capability development in emerging domains, indigenous innovation and AI-enabled warfighting concepts. Demonstrations of advanced systems and platforms developed for intelligence fusion, operational planning and information management were also showcased during the conference reflecting growing integration of cutting-edge technologies into joint operational structures.

Finally, the BCCI is reacting to what has always been the core principle of the IPL and moving in the right direction. Im glad theyre doing so. This is a strong decision from the BCCI in that regard.

Chennai Super Kings: Former India off-spin veteran Ravichandran Ashwin reflected on his early days with Chennai Super Kings and recalled how he was first picked by the franchise, revealing that he thought his chances were over when the yellow army picked Sri Lanka legend Muttiah Muralitharan in 2009. The 39-year-old Chennai native began his journey with his home franchise, Chennai Super Kings, winning two titles. In the 2025 auctions, Ashwin got a homecoming as he was picked by CSK for a whopping 9.75 crores before announcing his retirement ahead of the 2026 season. Ashiwn also credited his late mentor VB Chandrasekhar for paving the way for his selection in CSK. I've always wanted to stay grateful. People come into your life, lay a stepping stone for you, and then move on and for me, that person was VB Chandrasekhar. Hes no longer with us, a life gone too soon. In Chennai's league cricket, I was playing for Chemplast against MRF at Pachaiyappas ground when T20 was new and people felt spinners had no role, especially the finger spinners, Ashiwn said on JioStar. During the auction, CSK had already picked Muttiah Muralitharan, and I thought my chances were gone. Then came the final of that same tournament at Chepauk, it was Chemplast vs India Cements, who owned CSK. I took six wickets. Kasi Viswanathan and Kris Srikkanth were there, and after I got Player of the Match, Srikkanth said 'What, CSK didnt pick you? Hey Kasi, take him, you should pick good players. The next day, I got a call from VB Chandrasekhar. He told me, Ive been watching you for five years. In T20, Im not sure about a finger spinners role, but youll learn a lot. Learn as much as you canyou can go far, your attitude is good' and gave me the contract, he recalled. On finishing his IPL career with CSK, Ashwin said, When I got the chance to play for CSK again, the first thought was that I could finish where I started. My intention was to play for 2-3 years. It didn't happen, that's a different story. I won't go there now. But where it started, it finished there. And I had another small dream to finish at Chepauk. I couldn't do that. The next day, I got a call from VB Chandrasekhar. He told me, Ive been watching you for five years. In T20, Im not sure about a finger spinners role, but youll learn a lot. Learn as much as you canyou can go far, your attitude is good' and gave me the contract, he recalled.

Indian Premier League: Former India cricketer Suresh Raina has showered praise on Shreyas Iyer, calling him a fearless leader who has consistently brought a fresh and aggressive style of cricket to every team he has represented in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Raina said that one of Iyers biggest strengths is his ability to adapt quickly and create a strong identity for his side, no matter which franchise he plays for. Wherever he has gone, whichever franchise he has played for, he has brought a different brand of cricket. He has been fearless as a Captain and has led from the front, Raina told Jio Hotstar. The former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter highlighted how Iyer has delivered results across teams like Delhi, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Punjab, proving his value as a leader. Be it Delhi, KKR, or even Punjab, they played the final last year after a gap of 11 years. You can see why he is a good Captain, because the communication off the field seems to be brilliant. He backs his players, he added. Raina also drew a comparison between Iyer and former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin, especially in terms of body language and the confidence they bring to the team. When you see him walk around with that swag, his body language reminds me of Azhar bhai. When Mohammad Azharuddin used to be the Captain, the players around him had a different level of confidence, Raina noted. According to Raina, Iyers leadership stands out because it combines calmness with bold decision-making, something that is crucial in the fast-paced T20 format.

Samson Is The Superstar CSK Have Been Crying Out For: Finch
Chennai Super Kings: Former Australian skipper Aaron Finch impressed how Samson Sanju settled into his new team and said the wicketkeeper-batter is the superstar Chennai Super Kings have been waiting for to be in their arsenal. Samson, who was traded in from Rajasthan Royals at the cost of Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran, started IPL 2026 with three single-digit scores, all of which were part of losses for his new franchise. The wicketkeeper-batter then turned things around and has three fifty-plus scores in seven innings since, including a match-winning 87 not out off 52 balls against Delhi Capitals (DC) on a tricky pitch on Tuesday. He missed out the first couple of games, didn't he? All of a sudden there was a massive panic: What has CSK done, Finch said on ESPNcricinfo. They've got Sanju Samson and he's not performing. Two games in T20 is nothing. To go right through a season ultra-consistent is so difficult. You probably can't underestimate the pressure on somebody going into a team like CSK. Being a huge marquee signing particularly when you have traded someone like Jadeja out of the side as well. Samson, who was adjudged Player of the tournament in the T20 World Cup, currently has 402 runs in ten innings at an average of 57.42 and strike rate of 167.50. Although he (Samson) had a dream run at the end of the T20 World Cup and then he's come in at CSK and missed out a couple of times, there will still be some pride and pressure and almost some feeling that you can tend to overplay it slightly in your own head that you want to get to a new franchise and really lay down a marker and say 'I'm here'.

NIA chargesheets doctor, 2 others in ISIS-linked bioterror plot to carry out mass poisoning
New Delhi, May 06: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a chargesheet against three people, including a doctor, for their alleged involvement in an ISIS-linked conspiracy to carry out mass poisoning in public spaces using a biological toxin, an official statement said. The accused -- Hyderabad-based Dr Syed Ahmed Mohiuddin and co-accused Azad and Mohammad Suhel from Uttar Pradesh -- have been chargesheeted before a special NIA court in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, the statement, issued on Tuesday, said. Working under the guidance of their respective Islamic State-linked foreign-based handlers, the accused had operated in a coordinated manner to recruit vulnerable youth radicalised by the handlers to support jihad and spread terror through prohibited weapons and bioterrorism, said the NIA statement. They had planned to use ricin, a highly toxic substance derived from castor seeds and classified under Schedule I of the Chemical Weapons Convention, to carry out the efarious agenda of ISIS, it said. The case was originally registered by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) following the arrest of Dr Mohiuddin, an MBBS from China, after he was caught at a toll plaza carrying illegal weapons, a bottle containing four litres of castor oil, and other incriminatory articles in his car in November 2025. Investigation by the ATS had led to the arrest of the other two accused the same day. Azad and Suhel were found to have earlier picked up parcels of money and prohibited weapons from a dead-drop site in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan, and dropped them at a location in Chhatral, Gujarat, for Moinuddin to pick up, the probe agency said. After taking over the investigation in January 2026, the NIA found that Moinuddin had been promised the position of ISIS Amir of South Asia by his handler. He had allegedly converted his Hyderabad residence into a clandestine laboratory for preparing ricin, the statement said. The agency further said that Azad and Suhel had knowingly participated in the conspiracy. Their roles included maintaining communication with handlers, receiving and utilising proceeds of terror, conducting reconnaissance, and handling illegal arms and ammunition. Suhel acted as a crucial link between the handler and other co-accused for recruitment, coordination, and handling of funds and weapons consignments. He also conducted reconnaissance, recorded Bay'ah (oath of allegiance) videos, and prepared ISIS flags, it said.

Chennai Super Kings: Delhi Capitals batter Tristan Stubbs said the team is eager to carry forward the momentum from their record chase of 226 against Rajasthan Royals into their home fixture against Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Tuesday. The seventh-placed DC need a win to get to ten points and boost their prospects in the race to the playoffs. I think the confidence has been there. We've had a couple shaky ones again before we scored 260, so the confidence wasn't there. But it is nice to get a win. It seems like it's a common score, but it is still a really big score and a really good chase. So to bring that into today, to our home ground is great, Stubbs said in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. On his role as an overseas finisher, Stubbs said, I think a lot of the boys are just trying to hit the ball to the stands and back. But we come here, it's sort of from the World Cup to now, you haven't been able to predict what the wicket's going to do. Batting in the middle there, I don't think my role changes much. Ashutosh is batting beautifully. So, it really gives you that confidence that he's still in the shed to come. Axar's still behind him. So it's a lot of batting, so it gives you confidence. Stubbs, who struck 60 against CSK earlier in the season, said past performances count for little. I don't think so. You get out there, new wicket. That was a really nice pitch that day, a bit of bounce. So, we don't know what we're going to get here. But a new wicket, you start on nought, and it's a fresh game. So yeah, we're excited. A bit of weather around, so you never know. But it's been a big game for both teams. The top-order batter Nitish Rana, meanwhile, spoke of the familiarity of playing at his home venue. Actually, when you enter this atmosphere, Ive been coming into this ground since childhood. So I wouldnt say that I dont feel nervous. You do feel nervous before every game. But yes, there is definitely a sense of comfort because at home a person feels more comfortable, and this is my home, he said.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score Asked about a possible psychological edge against CSK, Rana remarked, I think we should focus on controlling our own game what we can control rather than what the points table is saying, or how many wins or losses each team has in the tournament. Todays game is important, yes, but if we focus on all three departments and perform well in all three, then the result will definitely be in our favour. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026 has entered a crucial phase and one of the significant news is that RCBs Bhuvneshwar Kumar (36) has regained the Purple Cap as the tournaments leading wicket-taker, while claiming 3/28 against GT on April 30, 2026, taking his tally to 17 wickets from nine matches. CSKs Anshul Kamboj has joined him at 17 wickets, but Bhuvneshwar still leads the race for this seasons Purple Cap. Bhuvneshwar has come out as one of the RCB's most reliable and match winning bowlers this season, with his experience and control. The BCCI selectors have not considered him since playing his last international match in Nov. 2022, but he is forcing for another opportunity. This IPL season, particularly, has seen him achieving one after another personal milestone, but his priority is now shifted to contributing to the teams campaign, Of course, I want to achieve something, but now its more of a team. Im not young anymore. Of course, when youre young, you want to win those awards, and it comes when you do well. *Bravo, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Harshal Patel are the only players to have won the Purple Cap multiple times (2). *Bravo secured both his caps with CSK in 2013 and 2015, while Harshal, after his 2021 triumph with RCB, added a second in 2024 with PBKS. *Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the only bowler to win the award in consecutive seasons, achieving the feat with Sunrises Hyderabad in 2016 and 2017. Will he become the first to record the feat 3 times? * Only three players in IPL, Sohail Tanvir (2008, Rajasthan Royals), RP Singh (2009, Deccan Chargers) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2016, Sunrises Hyderabad) have recorded the double: They won the Purple Cap and their team won the IPL title in the same season. Bhuvneshwar could become the first bowler to record this feat twice, if RCB also goes on to create history. Let us see what significant, he has achieved: Most successful fast bowler in IPL: 215 wickets. He is also the most prolific bowler in the IPL Powerplay and is all set to be the first to claim 100 wickets in the Powerplay. A part of the collapse: Delhi Capitals collapsed to 13 for 6 in the Powerplay against RCB as batters meekly surrendered to the stunning opening spell from Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, which is the lowest-ever Powerplay score in the IPL. Record 200th appearance: Bhuvneshwar Kumar is all set to play his 200th IPL match on May 7, against LSG and will be the first pacer to record the feat. First bowler to have bowled in each of his 200 IPL matches: Bhuvneshwar is on the verge of this special feat. When he bowls in the 200th match, he will become the first bowler to bowl in each of his 200 matches. Amit Mishra (bowled in each of his 162 matches), Jasprit Bumrah (154), Rashid Khan (146) and Mohammad Shami (127) are far behind. Record 325th T20 appearance: He made his record-making appearance against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium on April 30 and recorded figures of 3/28 during his sides four-wicket loss. This, however, helped him to achieve a significant career milestone as he became the first Indian pacer and only the second Indian overall to reach 350 wickets in T20 cricket. His figures : 352 wickets at an average of 24.51, including five 4s and five 5s, with best figures of 5/4.
