The mega valuation that Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) generated as they changed hands ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 has seen the world take note of the T20 competition
IPL 2026: A Chance for Rishabh Pant to Shed the Unlucky Tag
For Lucknow Super Giants, the IPL 2026 is the season for redemption under Rishabh Pant. The costliest IPL franchise is yet to see any significant success in the IPL: lost in the Play-Offs in the first two seasons and then finished in the seventh position in the last two seasons. Naturally, in the new season, the focus is primarily on current captain Pant for his leadership as well as batting. He ended the last season with 118* off 61 balls against Gujarat Titans, but before that had scored only 151 runs in 13 matches. This was not the performance the franchisee expected from their Rs.27 crore signee. He has to justify the tag of being the IPLs most expensive player. The IPL 2026 season is being viewed as a make-or-break season for him with the hope of doing much better than the 269 runs he scored in 14 innings last season. He also has a chance to set the record straight as a captain. So far, he has captained two different teams in more than 50 matches but without any IPL title, with an overall captaincy record: 57 matches (30 wins + 27 losses). With Delhi Capitals (20212024), he earned the tag of a never-say-die captain and led them in 43 matches, and then LSG spent a record-breaking Rs. 27 crore at the auction to appoint him captain for the 2025 season, following their disappointment with KL Rahul, but the story remained unchanged. He may not end up as lucky as Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni as far as winning an IPL title is concerned, but he can come out of the list of the captains who led in 50+ IPL matches, without winning the title. Virat Kohli (143 matches with 68 wins, 71 losses, 3 ties and 1 no result) is leading the pack as he couldnt convert his fine batting form into an IPL title as captain (from 2013 to 2021, and again for a few matches in 2023). His is a unique case as he captained only one franchise, the Royal Challengers Bangalore, and remains the only captain to have led a team in 100+ matches without ever winning a title. Virat is still playing but not captaining the side. Similarly, Sanju Samson (67 matches with 33 wins, 33 losses and 1 no result) also doesnt have the chance to add an IPL title to his record as captain. He led Rajasthan Royals from 2021 to 2025, scored a hundred in his very first match as captain (first IPL captain to record the feat) and, like Virat, amassed a lot of runs but failed to win a title. He has now moved from the Royals. On the unlucky quotient, KL Rahul is next as he has captained in 64 matches (32 wins, 32 losses) but without winning the IPL title. Among those who have captained more than one team, he is the most unfortunate. Before the 2022 season, the Lucknow Super Giants acquired him for Rs.17 crore as a long-term captaincy prospect, but after 37 matches, they lost faith in him. It appears that they overlooked that he had not won the title for Kings XI Punjab also in the 27 matches before that. He is now not captaining his new side and his record in this capacity stands frozen at this point. Rishabh Pants story bears striking similarities with him. Virender Sehwag was a big name at the start of the IPL. As an iconic player, he was the first captain of the Delhi Daredevils (from 2008 to 2012), took the team to semi-finals in two consecutive seasons (2008 and 2009) and, in 2009, was at the top of the league table but despite captaining them for 52 matches, failed to secure a title. He also led the Punjab team for just a single match. He remains one of the few captains who, despite leading a single franchise for over 50 matches, never managed to win a title. Overall IPL captaincy record 53 matches (29 wins, 24 losses). Surprisingly, none of the Icons of the IPL met with success as captain and, like Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar also failed to taste the success. He led Mumbai Indians in 51 matches (30 wins, 21 losses), starting from the very first season of the IPL but remained empty-handed. He also holds the distinction of having captained a single team in 50 matches without winning a title.

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

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

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

Kohli, Suryavanshi To Light Up IPL As Stampede Dead Remembered
The IPL roars back into action on Saturday super-charged by India's home T20 World Cup triumph, but with sombre memories of the 11 fans who died in a stampede celebrating Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bengaluru's title last season. The richest league in cricket launches with RCB hosting Sunrisers Hyderabad at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, where June's title party turned to tragedy a day after Bengaluru's first IPL crown. Eleven supporters aged between 14 and 29 died outside the stadium in a crush. The club, sold on Tuesday for nearly $1.8 billion to an Indian-US consortium, will leave 11 seats permanently empty at the stadium while players will wear black armbands. Kohli, who has retired from Tests and T20 internationals, guided RCB to their maiden title on the 18th attempt and shows no sign of slowing down aged 37. He will be hungrier than ever, especially after lifting the IPL trophy last season, former India pace bowler Irfan Pathan told host broadcaster JioHotstar. He will have the same kind of passion when he comes back this season. He will want to lift the trophy once again. The spotlight will also be on teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Suryavanshi, who turns 15 on Friday, will open the batting for Rajasthan Royals this season. The prodigy starred for India in their U19 World Cup win in Harare last month, smashing a record-breaking 175 off 80 balls in the final against England. - 'Go hit, don't worry' - Suryavanshi burst onto the IPL scene last year as a 14-year-old, hitting a six off the first ball he faced on his debut. A few days later he romped to a 35-ball century, the second fastest in IPL history. The Royals and fellow opener Yashasvi Jaiswal are keen to shield Suryavanshi from the glare of publicity. There will be hype and pressure naturally, said captain Riyan Parag. Jaiswal is more than capable of handling that. For Vaibhav, the role will be just to go, hit, and not to worry. India's T20 World Cup win produced new heroes, including opener-wicketkeeper Sanju Samson and all-rounder Shivam Dube, who are both with five-time winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Samson, named player of the World Cup after his 321 runs in India's last three matches propelled them to the title, begins his first season with Chennai. Two-time World Cup-winning captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, 44, will continue to defy age in CSK's yellow, batting at number seven under skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad. Some overseas stars will miss the start, including Australia's pace trio Pat Cummins (Hyderabad), Mitchell Starc (Delhi) and Josh Hazlewood (RCB) because of fitness concerns and workload management. England's Ben Duckett (Delhi) has withdrawn to focus on international cricket, leaving him facing a potential two-season IPL ban.

Skipper Gaikwad, Samson Set To Form CSKs Opening Pair In IPL 2026
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ruturaj Gaikwad dropped a hint about the team's opening combination for the Indian Premier League edition, revealing he, along with wicketkeeper batter Sanju Samson, will open the innings in IPL 2026. CSK who had a dismal campaign last year and their top order was a major weakness. They had tried multiple combinations, but all led to disaster. The five-time winners then tried Ayush Mhatre at the top, and he provided some brisk starts. But with CSK roping in Sanju Samson for IPL 2026, the franchise opted to go in with an experienced pair. During the IPL 2026 captain's meet in Mumbai, Gaikwad was asked about CSK's opening combination, and the skipper confirmed that he will return to the top of the order, partnering with newly added member in Samson Samson was traded in from Rajasthan Royals to CSK ahead of the auction in a major move as the five-time champions traded out Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran to RR. Last year, CSK had struggled to find stability at the top. Gaikwad himself batted at No. 3 for a large part of the season, while the team rotated between Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway and Rahul Tripathi as openers. No combination worked for CSK until youngsters Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis came as replacements and gave the team some much-needed aggression in the powerplay. Joining as a replacement player last season, Mhatre amassed 240 runs in seven innings, averaging 34.28 at a striking rate of 188.97, including a standout 94 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), while Brevis scored 225 runs in six innings at the strike rate of 180.

IPL 2026: 'I Feel This Could Be MS Dhoni's Last Season,' Says Aakash Chopra
Indian Premier League: Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, which will start on March 28, could be the last season for Chennai Super Kings (CSK )'s most experienced player, MS Dhoni, as Sanju Samson is ready to be his heir. Chopra also said that veteran should consider retirement if he continues only as an Impact Player for Chennai Super Kings this season. You dont run the team from the dugout, its not football. In cricket, you need to be on the field, and MS Dhonis biggest asset is his ability to read the game better than anybody else. That clarity and conviction are what make him who he is. In any case, I feel this could be his last season, Chopra told Jio Hotstar. He has the heir apparent now. Sanju Samson will eventually don the gloves, it could even happen at some stage during this season. Again, conditions apply in terms of MS Dhonis fitness and his knee. But he cannot be the Impact Player. If he is playing as an Impact Player, I think its time for him to hang up his boots, he added. You dont run the team from the dugout, its not football.

Former South Africa: Former South Africa player has opposed the idea of sending Chennai Super Kings (CSK) stalwart MS Dhoni up above the batting order in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, which will commence on March 28, stating that the former captain's strength lies in making the best use of death overs. Dhoni, who will be the oldest player in the IPL 2026, is practising hard ahead of the tournament. He had a poor season last year, batting at the 8th position and not being impactful at the end. However, according to Du Plessis, this should not propel the team to change his position. There are a handful of players in the world who have that clarity and backing to do it in the 19th and 20th overs. The mere mortals out there think there is more pressure in the 19th and 20th overs than in the 16th. But his clarity in those last 18 balls of the match, when he can really zone in on what is required, is second to none, Du Plessis told Jio Hotstar. If you send him in earlier and he gets out, you lose that at the back end. And there are enough players in CSKs middle order who can do more damage in those phases, players like Brevis and Dube, who are exceptional spin-hitters. That is their strength, so back them to do that. MSs strength has always been in overs 17 to 20, facing the seamers, he added. The former CSK player also stated that Dhoni's presence in the field is crucial for the team's success, as he provides vital tactical support to the captain and possesses a deeper understanding of the game. MS Dhoni is the best tactician and one of the most successful cricketers in the game when it comes to leadership. But I dont think CSK saw him playing as many seasons as he eventually did. So, they had to look at who was going to be the next Captain. Ruturaj was the next guy, and I thought, coming into his first season, he did a great job. Its just unfortunate that he got injured last season, where they missed him as a batter and as a Captain. In terms of tactics, MS is one of the most brilliant minds, he explained. So, I'll always have him on the field because you need his cricketing brain. The way he sees and reads the game, and the way you see him manoeuvre fields, thats his real superpower. Yes, weve loved watching him bat. But for me, its more about what he brings on the field, and thats something CSK have to use, Du Plessis noted. Du Plessis also hailed Dhoni as the fastest gloveman in the game and believes that, despite Sanju's entry, Dhoni should be the wicketkeeper of the team. MS Dhoni being behind the stumps doesnt always equate to something happening, but what it does is create a little bit of doubt in the mind of a young batter walking in. When I walk out to bat, I might think, Whats this field? Why on earth are two men there? Even if he is not weak in that area, he said. Du Plessis also hailed Dhoni as the fastest gloveman in the game and believes that, despite Sanju's entry, Dhoni should be the wicketkeeper of the team.
