IPL 2026: Mohsin, Prince, Shami Pick Two Scalps Each As LSG Restrict RR To 159/6
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: A clinical collective performance from Mohsin Khan, Prince Yadav, and Mohammed Shami helped Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) restrict the Rajasthan Royals (RR) to a modest 159/6 in their clash in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Wednesday. While Ravindra Jadejas late-innings assault (43 not out off 29) provided a much-needed back-end surge for RR, the story of the first innings was the tactical dominance of the LSG seamers, who dismantled the top order with high-velocity aggression and Opting to bowl first, LSG didnt have the best of starts as Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi hit six boundaries between themselves in the first three overs. But RRs explosive start was derailed in the third over when Shami struck twice in two balls. He bowled a sharp bouncer to remove Jaiswal, who tried to hook, and an airborne Rishabh Pant leapt to grab the catch with an outstretched right hand. One brought two for Shami as he got one to nip away and take Dhruv Jurels outside edge, as Pant dived to his right to dismiss him for a duck. The pressure intensified as Mohsin nailed his lengths and became the first bowler in IPL history to bowl a maiden over to teenage sensation Sooryavanshi, as he eventually forced him into mistiming a loft to cover, while having Shimron Hetmyer to give a leading edge to mid-off. Prince then ensured there was no middle-order recovery as he dismissed Riyan Parag, who holed out to long-on, and later removed Donovan Ferreira by having him caught at third man to leave RR reeling at 110/6. RR were staring at a sub-par total before Jadeja took charge. Biding his time initially, Jadeja exploded in the final over by picking 20 runs off Mayank Yadav (0-56), bowling in his first game of the season. Supported by impact player Shubham Dubeys 11-ball 19 not out, Jadeja lent some respectability to the total and, in turn, gave the RR bowlers a fighting chance in the match. Prince then ensured there was no middle-order recovery as he dismissed Riyan Parag, who holed out to long-on, and later removed Donovan Ferreira by having him caught at third man to leave RR reeling at 110/6.

IPL 2026: Spencer Johnson Will Be In Our Starting XI Tomorrow, Says CSK Bowling Coach
Chennai Super Kings: Spencer Johnson is poised to take centre stage for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their critical bottom-of-the-table match against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. Bowling coach Eric Simmons hinted at Johnson's potential inclusion due to Khaleel Ahmed's injury. Khaleel had to leave the field before finishing his overs in CSKs last game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). This situation led the team to consider Johnson as a replacement in their bowling lineup. His addition comes at a time when injuries have heavily impacted Chennais season. Khaleel Ahmed & Anshul Kamboj have been really good for us. Spencer Johnson (Khaleel's replacement) will be in our starting XI tomorrow night, Simmons said on the eve of the match. CSK has faced challenges all season, starting with three straight losses to Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They briefly revived their season with wins over Delhi Capitals and KKR, but then experienced another setback with a 10-run loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad. Mumbais performance has also been shaky. After starting their season with a win against KKR, they lost to DC, RR, RCB, and PBKS before getting back on track with a second win against the Gujarat Titans. Apart from Johnson, former skipper Dhoni, 44, has already started light training, including his first wicketkeeping session of IPL 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday, after missing CSKs first six matches.

IPL 2026: Things Are Going Right This Time, Will Try To Continue That, Says RRs Bishnoi
Lucknow Super Giants: Rajasthan Royals leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi said his improved performances this season is down to him fine-tuning aspects of his bowling, adding that hes grateful things are going in the right direction this time and aims to keep it going. Bishnoi spent three seasons with Lucknow Super Giants, before being acquired by RR at last years auction in Abu Dhabi. The India leg-spinner has picked 10 wickets in six games so far and is in the race to grab Purple Cap this year. It feels good. I have spent a lot of time here, so it feels good when you come back. It is a good feeling when you return and you know what has happened on this ground and what memories you have made here, Bishnoi said to broadcasters ahead of the match. On the reasons behind his better show this season, Bishnoi explained: The reason is the hard work I was putting in. I was working hard earlier too, but there were certain clues that I was missing. This season, I think those clues are fitting in properly. I still think there is room for improvement, but there were things like the run-up and length that I was missing. Touchwood, this time it is going right, so I will try to continue that in the upcoming games as well. Asked about plans against LSG batters, Bishnoi said, Everyone is a very good batter. You do know them, but whether they are scoring runs or not, it is just one ball away. People say a match can change with one ball, but I think form is also just one ball away. If you hit one good shot, everything changes. They are all very good players. If you look at Nicky, Rishabh bhai, Aiden, Marsh, there are big names. We just have to get everyone out. It is not like we will be happy after getting just one batter out, he said. Meanwhile, RRs young batter Lhuan-dre Pretorius backed the middle-order to deliver after a blip in the previous game. Obviously we had a very good start. We summed up as a batting unit that it was the easiest time to bat in the powerplay. We had a bit of a blip in the middle, but that's what it is. It's all part of the game. We forgot about that. We had our discussions around the middle. And yeah, I have no doubt that the middle-order will fire today, he said. He added that walking into strong platforms set by the openers was enjoyable. I think it's actually a good platform to walk into. Our openers always get off to a good start, so it's really cool to see and to watch. So as a middle order, I think it's pretty fun to walk into a scenario or situation like we most of the time walk into, he said. We had a bit of a blip in the middle, but that's what it is. It's all part of the game. We forgot about that. We had our discussions around the middle. And yeah, I have no doubt that the middle-order will fire today, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Speaking about the pitch, Pretorius said, To be honest, I haven't had much discussion about the surface itself, but it's been very hot.

'Team Is Performing Well': Harbhajan Backs Kishan To Remain SRH Captain Despite Cummins Return
Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium: Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has lauded the captaincy skills of Ishan Kishan and advised the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) franchise to continue with the wicketkeeper batter as captain despite the return of Australian spearhead Pat Cummins. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) registered their third consecutive victory of the IPL 2026, overpowering Delhi Capitals (DC) by 47 runs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium. Riding on a breathtaking, career-best century from Abhishek Sharma, the hosts posted 242 for 2. In response, a disciplined Sunrisers bowling attack, spearheaded by Eshan Malinga, restricted the DC to 195 for 9, securing a dominant win to go third in the standings. According to Harbhajan, the players have built a great coordination with Kishan, and if the franchise continues their support to the young leader that, then it will benefit the team as a whole. Ishan Kishan should continue as Sunrisers Hyderabad captain even if Pat Cummins returns. It is a debatable call, but if the team has backed a young leader, they should stick with him. Cummins helped Hyderabad reach the final in 2024, no doubt. But the side is doing well under Kishan's leadership. The bowlers and other players have built good coordination with him. Keeping Ishan as captain will benefit Sunrisers Hyderabad, Harbhajan told Jio Hotstar. Kishan was appointed the stand in captain of SRH ahead of the tournament, as their designated leader, Cummins, was expected to miss the starting matches due to a back injury. But the Australian all-rounder has been declared fit and is likely to feature in the team's next match against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on April 25.

IPL 2026: Abhisheks Century Powers SRH To Third Spot With 47-run Win Over DC
Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium: Opener Abhishek Sharma scored an impressive unbeaten 135 from 68 balls as Sunrisers Hyderabad reached 242 for 2 and secured a 47-run victory over Delhi Capitals in Match 31 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad on Monday. The left-hander's innings was a lesson in controlled aggression. He reached his fifty in just 25 balls and got his ninth T20 hundred in 47 balls, pacing the innings well before launching a fierce attack. By the 15-over mark, he moved ahead of Heinrich Klaasen in the Orange Cap race, highlighting his dominance this season. SRH started their innings steadily but quickly gained momentum. Delhi briefly regained some control with Nitish Rana's offspin during the Power-play, allowing just six runs while SRH scored 15 for no loss after two overs. However, the strategy backfired once the batters found their rhythm. When Rana returned after SRH reached 36 for no loss in four overs, he was taken apart in a 20-run over with three sixes, pushing the score to 56 without loss. Abhishek led the way, scoring 21 off 12 and dominating the attack along with Travis Head. The two put together another smooth partnership in the Power-play, taking SRH to 67 for no loss. The final ball of this phase marked the team's 70th six of the season, surpassing Royal Challengers Bengalurus total of 69. Head, who began cautiously, accelerated to 37 off 26 before getting out at 97 for 1 in 8.5 overs. He mishit a long hop from Axar Patel to deep midwicket after hitting two sixes in the over. However, this breakthrough did not slow SRH. Ishan Kishan added a quick 25 off 13 before being run out at the non-strikers end, bringing Klaasen to the crease at a key moment. The South African finished the innings with a powerful 37 off just 13 balls, helping SRH easily exceed the 240-mark. In the middle overs, Kuldeep Yadav struggled as SRH raced to 126 for 1 in 11 overs, with Abhishek and Kishan attacking aggressively. Even though conditions looked perfect for reverse swing on a dry pitch, Delhis seamers, including Mukesh Kumar, could not find any movement, allowing SRH to take control. Delhis chase, though spirited, faced the challenge of a huge target. They fought hard and had moments of resistance, but early mistakes in the fielddropped catches, a missed run-out, and poor bowling changesproved costly. With spinners Axar and Kuldeep bowling only two overs each and Rana conceding 55 runs in his four overs, DC struggled to take control. Nitish Rana, brought into the playing XI for this match, top-scored with 57 while Sameer Rizvi contributed 41 runs but in the end that proved insufficient. The defeat leaves Delhi regretting missed chances, while SRH, fueled by Abhishek's outstanding century, celebrated their third straight win and climbed to third on the points table, overtaking the Rajasthan Royals.

Juniper Green Energy Makes History as India's First FDRE Project Enters Commissioning Phase
India's energy transition reaches a defining milestone — Juniper's integrated 259 MWp Solar, 280 MW Wind, and 200 MWh BESS project enters commissioning phase across Rajasthan and Gujarat Juniper races ahead of all industry peers to become the FIRST RE developer to begin commissioning under the SJVN FDRE scheme, delivering firm, clean power to Haryana just as summer demand peaks Having already pioneered India's first merchant BESS in Bikaner, Juniper Green Energy Limited now achieves another landmark — beginning commissioning of India's first Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project under Government of India’s Flagship FDRE Guidelines, marking yet another historic first for the Indian power sector. The integrated project combines 259 MWp Solar, 280 MW Wind, and 200 MWh BESS spanning Rajasthan and Gujarat, designed to deliver reliable, Firm and Dispatchable clean power aligned precisely to grid demand. Juniper Green Energy's FDRE power plant in Fatehgarh, Barmer, Rajasthan “This marks the start of India’s first Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy project — a defining milestone in our vision to deliver firm and dispatchable renewable power. It reflects Juniper Green Energy’s strong execution capabilities, technological depth, and commitment to shaping the future of sustainable energy. By seamlessly integrating solar, wind, and battery storage at utility scale, we are not only demonstrating India’s clean energy potential but also setting new benchmarks for reliability and innovation in the sector. FDRE is not just a project type — it is our conviction about how India will power its future,” said Ankush Malik, CEO, Juniper Green Energy Limited. The FDRE Framework: Powering India's Grid on Demand As India's renewable energy capacity grew rapidly, grid stability became a pressing concern — solar stops generating at night and wind cannot be dispatched on demand. To bridge this gap, the Ministry of Power notified FDRE guidelines in June 2023, requiring developers to integrate solar, wind, and battery storage into a single project capable of delivering firm, scheduled power aligned precisely to Discom demand profiles. Unlike conventional renewables, FDRE is firm and dispatchable — making it, for the first time, a clean and reliable alternative to coal-based thermal generation Key Project Milestones The 259 MWp solar capacity commenced commercial operations in March 2026, while the 200 MWh BESS capacity began commercial operations in April 2026. Delivering Clean Power When Haryana Needs It Most As temperatures soar across North India in the summer months ahead, electricity demand in Haryana is expected to touch record highs. By commissioning its FDRE project ahead of schedule, Juniper Green Energy is directly addressing this critical need — delivering firm, renewable power that is both clean and dependable. The SJVN FDRE Tender Juniper Green Energy's FDRE project was awarded under a landmark tender floated by SJVN Limited under its SJVN FDRE Scheme, attracting India's leading renewable energy developers in a competitive reverse auction process. Juniper signed a 200 MW Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with SJVN, which has in turn executed a back-to-back Power Sale Agreement (PSA) with Haryana Power Purchase Centre (HPPC), ensuring firm, clean renewable power to the state of Haryana. Of all the developers who successfully bid under this tender, Juniper Green Energy is the FIRST to begin commissioning and supply power. FDRE: The Future of India’s Energy Transformation The transformative impact of FDRE on India's energy sector is multi-dimensional — enabling distribution companies to procure clean power that truly mirrors their demand patterns, while driving large-scale investment in battery storage and accelerating India's domestic storage ecosystem. Since the Ministry of Power issued FDRE guidelines in 2023, over 10 tenders aggregating more than 14 GW of FDRE capacity have been launched by central and state agencies including SJVN, NHPC, SECI and NTPC, with approximately 10 GW already under construction — representing one of the fastest-growing segments in India's utility-scale renewable energy market. For Juniper Green Energy, FDRE represents a core pillar of its long-term strategy. The company is at the forefront of India's transition to firm and dispatchable renewable energy, actively shaping the market through advanced integration of solar, wind, and energy storage, and by leading early execution under national FDRE programs. As new tender cycles emerge across central and state agencies, Juniper is well-positioned to continue leading from the front — developing and commissioning large-scale FDRE projects, delivering reliable clean power, and setting new benchmarks in execution, innovation, and grid-ready renewable solutions in India. About Juniper Green Energy Juniper Green Energy is an independent renewable energy power producer in India, focused on the development, construction and operations of utility-scale solar, wind, and hybrid renewable energy projects. It is headquartered in Delhi NCR since October 2018; the company has grown its operational capacity to approximately 1.66 GWp (as of Jan 14 th , 2026).

PCB Hands SL All-rounder Dasun Shanaka A One-year Ban On Participation In PSL
The Pakistan Cricket Board: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has banned Sri Lanka seam-bowling all-rounder Dasun Shanaka from participating in the next edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), citing breach of contractual obligations. The decision follows after the PCB did a review of Shanakas withdrawal from the 2026 tournament with Lahore Qalandars to honour an IPL 2026 deal with Rajasthan Royals. Shanaka was named as an injury replacement for Sam Curran by RR in the ongoing season for Rs 2 crore. I deeply regret my decision to withdraw from the HBL PSL and offer my sincere apologies to the people of Pakistan, the fans of HBL PSL, and the wider cricket community. The HBL PSL is a prestigious tournament, and I fully understand the disappointment caused by my actions. To the loyal fans of Lahore Qalandars, I am truly sorry for letting you down. I must clarify that at the time I withdrew from the HBL PSL, I had no intention of joining any other tournament. I have the greatest respect for Pakistani Fans and have always enjoyed my time in Pakistan. I hope to return to the HBL PSL in the future with renewed dedication and the trust of the fans, said Shanaka in a statement issued by the PCB on Monday. Qalandars then got Australias seam-bowling all-rounder Daniel Sams as a replacement for Shanaka. The review concluded that the players unilateral withdrawal from the tournament on March 21, 2026, constituted a clear breach of both the Player Registration terms and the Tripartite Agreement. The findings indicated that the withdrawal was made on grounds not recognised within the existing contractual framework. While the Board has taken note of the players expressions of regret and his stated passion for playing in Pakistan during the formal hearing, the severity of the contractual violations necessitates regulatory action to maintain the integrity and exclusivity of the League.

IPL 2026: Josh Inglis To Join LSG Squad Ahead Of Clash With MI: Report
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Rishabh Pant-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have received a big boost amid the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, as Australian wicketkeeper batter Josh Inglis is expected to join the squad ahead of their clash against the five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) on May 4 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. According to a report by ESPNcricinfo, Inglis was unavailable for the first half of the season due to his wedding, which was scheduled for mid-April. The wicketkeeper-batter tied the knot on April 18 and is expected to spend some more time away before travelling to India to link up with the LSG squad. Inglis had a productive season last year with Punjab Kings, scoring 278 runs at an impressive strike rate of 162.57. Despite that, he was released ahead of the 2026 auction, where LSG secured his services for INR 8.6 crore, even with the knowledge that he would miss a part of the tournament. If he becomes available from May 4, Inglis could feature in the final six league matches for LSG, depending on team combinations. The franchise is currently using overseas options like Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, and Nicholas Pooran, while not always opting for a fourth overseas player. South African spinner George Linde has featured in two of the last three games. However, Pooran has struggled with form, managing just 51 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 80.
