Mukul Choudhary’s Blazing Half-Century Powers LSG to Thrilling Win Over KKR

In a dramatic encounter in IPL 2026, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pulled off a sensational three-wicket victory against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), thanks to a breathtaking knock from young debutant Mukul Choudhary. Chasing a challenging target of 182, LSG found themselves in deep trouble at 104 for 5 in the 13th over. The situation worsened as wickets kept tumbling, leaving them reeling at 128 for 7. With the odds stacked heavily in KKR’s favor, Choudhary stepped up and delivered a remarkable counterattack. The 21-year-old showcased extraordinary composure and power-hitting ability, smashing a rapid 54* off just 25 balls. His innings turned the tide of the match and kept LSG in contention even as pressure mounted. The match went down to the wire, with LSG needing 14 runs in the final over. After a single off the first ball by Avesh Khan, Choudhary launched a massive six over square leg to shift momentum. Despite two dot balls that followed, he produced another stunning six off a near-perfect yorker, bringing the equation down to one run off the final delivery. In a tense finish, Choudhary missed the last ball but managed to scramble through for a leg-bye, sealing an unforgettable win for LSG. Earlier, KKR had posted 181 for 4, with contributions from Angkrish Raghuvanshi (45) and Ajinkya Rahane (41). For LSG, Akash Rathi picked up a wicket while the bowlers managed to restrict further damage. LSG’s chase was also supported by Ayush Badoni, who scored a steady 54, anchoring the innings before Choudhary’s late heroics. Ahead of the tournament, LSG coach Justin Langer had predicted Choudhary could become one of India’s most dangerous finishers. This innings not only justified that belief but also marked the arrival of a potential new star in the IPL.

KKR Boosted by Narine’s Return, Varun Doubtful for LSG Clash

Kolkata Knight Riders have received a timely boost ahead of their Indian Premier League fixture against Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday, with veteran spinner Sunil Narine declared fit after recovering from illness. Narine, KKR’s all-time leading wicket-taker in the IPL, had missed their previous match against Punjab Kings due to an abdominal issue. That game was eventually washed out, marking the first time since 2019 that KKR fielded a playing XI without both Narine and fellow spinner Varun Chakravarthy. Varun Remains Uncertain While Narine’s return strengthens the bowling attack, Chakravarthy remains a doubt for the upcoming clash. The mystery spinner is recovering from a left-hand injury sustained while fielding against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Although Chakravarthy bowled his full quota during training on Wednesday, he was still seen with strapping on his injured hand. The franchise has not provided a clear timeline for his return, leaving his availability uncertain for the crucial encounter. Narine Back in Action After sitting out the previous game, Narine resumed training earlier this week and has been actively involved with both bat and ball in the lead-up to the match. His presence is expected to significantly bolster a bowling unit that has struggled with injuries and inconsistency. In his absence, left-arm spinner Anukul Roy was the only specialist spinner in the XI against Punjab Kings. Green Likely to Bowl In another positive development, KKR are set to utilize the bowling skills of Cameron Green from Thursday onwards. The all-rounder has not bowled so far this season due to workload management protocols coordinated with Cricket Australia, despite participating in training sessions. KKR Seeking Momentum KKR have had a slow start to their campaign, managing just one point from three matches after two defeats and a washout. With key players returning, the team will be eager to turn their fortunes around against Lucknow Super Giants and gain momentum in the tournament.

Gill’s tactical gamble pays off as Gujarat Titans edge Delhi Capitals in thriller

Shubman Gill revealed the thinking behind a crucial last-ball decision as Gujarat Titans secured a dramatic win over Delhi Capitals in a tense Indian Premier League 2026 clash. After a shaky start to their campaign, Gujarat Titans finally found their rhythm, but not without late drama. Delhi Capitals needed just two runs off the final two balls, and appeared to have the upper hand. However, a surprising moment unfolded when David Miller declined a straightforward single, keeping the strike for the final delivery. Gill, captaining the side, said the team had carefully debated their options before the last ball. Instead of going for a yorker, they opted for a slower delivery considering the pitch conditions. “We were discussing whether to go for the yorker or the slower one. Given how the wicket was playing, we felt a good slower ball would be difficult to hit for a boundary,” Gill explained. The decision proved decisive. Prasidh Krishna executed a slower bouncer perfectly, beating the batter, while Jos Buttler completed a sharp run-out with a direct hit to seal the win. Earlier, Gujarat Titans’ batting unit had laid a strong foundation. Gill, Buttler, and Washington Sundar all notched up half-centuries, powering the team to a formidable total. At 168 for 2 after 16 overs, a bigger finish seemed likely, but the Titans managed only 42 runs in the final four overs as the pitch slowed down. Despite that, Gill believed the total was above par. “We thought 210 was 10–15 runs above par on this surface. Even in the death overs, it wasn’t easy to clear the boundaries. We were confident that disciplined bowling would get us through,” he said. Buttler’s return to form was another positive for Gujarat. The English wicketkeeper-batter had struggled recently, managing just 87 runs in eight innings during the T20 World Cup and failing to convert starts in the opening IPL games. Reflecting on his performance, Buttler said he remained confident despite the lean patch. “I’ve been searching for runs a bit, but I felt in good touch. If you’ve played long enough, you know it comes back at some point. You just have to keep working,” he noted, adding that the win was crucial in a tightly contested tournament. With their first victory secured, Gujarat Titans will now look to build momentum when they face Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow on April 12.

Cameron Green Set to Resume Bowling for KKR Clash Against LSG

Cameron Green is expected to resume bowling duties for Kolkata Knight Riders in their upcoming Indian Premier League 2026 match against Lucknow Super Giants at Eden Gardens on Thursday. Green has not bowled in any of KKR’s first three matches this season, having been initially cleared to participate only as a specialist batter due to a lower-back injury. Cricket Australia had earlier advised that the all-rounder would gradually rebuild his bowling workload over a 10–12 day period. With that timeframe now elapsed, Green is understood to be ready to return to bowling in competitive conditions. His absence as a bowling option has disrupted KKR’s plans, particularly as several key bowlers have been unavailable. Mustafizur Rahman was withdrawn from the squad on instructions from the Board of Control for Cricket in India ahead of the tournament, while Harshit Rana and Akash Deep were ruled out due to injuries. Additionally, Sunil Narine missed the previous match due to illness, and Varun Chakravarthy has been sidelined with a hand injury. Beyond his bowling absence, Green’s batting form has also come under scrutiny. The Australian, who was signed for a record INR 25.20 crore at the IPL auction—the highest ever for an overseas player—has managed scores of just 18, 2, and 4 in his first three innings, raising questions about his role in the side. Former Australian captain Aaron Finch weighed in on Green’s struggles, suggesting a shift in approach. He noted that while one of Green’s dismissals was an unfortunate run-out, the batter has appeared tentative compared to his earlier performances. Finch advised that KKR should either promote him up the order or consider giving him a break to regain confidence. Green has so far batted at No. 3 twice and at No. 4 once this season, as KKR continue to search for the right balance amid a challenging start to their campaign.

Sooryavanshi Effect Leaves Even Bumrah Second-Guessing in RR’s Dominant Win

The explosive batting of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal has not only dismantled bowling attacks but also begun to influence the mindset of even the world’s best bowlers, including Jasprit Bumrah. Following Mumbai Indians’ defeat to Rajasthan Royals in a rain-shortened IPL 2026 clash in Guwahati, MI head coach Mahela Jayawardene admitted his side failed to execute their plans during the crucial early overs. Early Onslaught Decisive Rajasthan’s openers came out with aggressive intent in the 11-over contest, capitalizing on the freedom provided by the shortened format. The Royals raced to 80 in the first five overs, including a punishing 22-run opening over from Deepak Chahar. While Mumbai managed to regain some control in the middle overs, the early damage proved too significant to recover from. “The margins are very small, and we didn’t execute the way we wanted,” Jayawardene said, noting that the powerplay proved decisive. Fear Factor Around Sooryavanshi Much of the spotlight, however, has shifted to the fearless approach of teenage sensation Sooryavanshi. Former South African fast bowler Dale Steyn believes the youngster has already created a psychological edge over bowlers. “He’s instilled fear into bowlers that if they get it wrong, he’ll hit them for six,” Steyn said, pointing to Bumrah’s rare error—a slot delivery that was promptly dispatched over the boundary. Steyn suggested that this mental pressure can disrupt even elite bowlers. “If you’re thinking ‘don’t miss,’ more often than not, you do miss,” he explained, highlighting how hesitation can affect execution at the highest level. Mind Over Skill Former Australia captain Aaron Finch echoed similar views, emphasizing the psychological battle between bat and ball. He noted that Bumrah likely attempted an inswinging yorker but mis-executed under pressure. “It’s amazing how the mind affects skill,” Finch said. “If you focus on not making a mistake, you often end up making it.” MI Fall Short Despite Late Fightback Chasing 150 in 11 overs, Mumbai Indians posted 123 for 9. Despite a late 47-run stand for the sixth wicket, they were unable to build the partnerships needed to mount a serious challenge. Jayawardene maintained that the target was within reach but conceded that early wickets and lack of momentum proved costly. “We had the capability, but we needed one or two strong partnerships,” he said. “In the end, it was just a few big hits that made the difference.” Royals’ Batting Sets the Benchmark While Jaiswal’s unbeaten 77 anchored the innings, it was the combined aggression at the top that set the tone. Sooryavanshi’s fearless hitting has quickly made him one of the most talked-about young players in the tournament—not just for his runs, but for the impact he is having on the mindset of opposition bowlers. As the IPL progresses, the “Sooryavanshi effect” could become a defining storyline—where talent meets fearlessness, and even the best are forced to rethink their approach.

Jaiswal’s Blitz Powers Rajasthan Royals to Rain-Shortened Win Over Mumbai Indians

In a rain-curtailed encounter in Guwahati, the Rajasthan Royals delivered a commanding performance to defeat the Mumbai Indians by 27 runs in an 11-over-per-side contest. The match, delayed by over two and a half hours due to heavy rain, sprang to life late in the evening—and it was Rajasthan who made the most of the shortened format. Explosive Start Sets the Tone Opening the innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal and 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi launched a ferocious assault, piling up 80 runs in just five overs. Sooryavanshi played a fearless knock of 39 off 14 balls, highlighted by an audacious attack on Jasprit Bumrah, including a six off his very first delivery. Jaiswal, meanwhile, was unstoppable. The left-hander smashed 77 off just 32 balls, remaining unbeaten and anchoring the Royals to a formidable 150 for 3. His innings included a flurry of boundaries and a half-century reached in just 23 deliveries. Middle-Order Contributions and Late Push After Sooryavanshi’s dismissal, wickets fell intermittently with Shardul Thakur and AM Ghazanfar making brief inroads. However, Jaiswal continued his onslaught, finishing strongly with a six off Bumrah and multiple boundaries in the final over. Mumbai’s Struggles in Chase Chasing a steep target with a required rate nearing 14 per over, Mumbai faltered early. Jofra Archer struck the first blow, dismissing Ryan Rickelton. Suryakumar Yadav showed brief resistance but fell soon after, while Rohit Sharma was trapped lbw by Sandeep Sharma. Reduced to 29 for 3 in the shortened powerplay, Mumbai never recovered. Ravi Bishnoi further dented the chase by removing Hardik Pandya and Tilak Varma in quick succession. A late cameo from Naman Dhir and Sherfane Rutherford added 47 runs in 17 balls, but the effort proved insufficient. Rajasthan’s bowlers, including Nandre Burger and Archer, held their nerve to restrict Mumbai to 123 for 9. Royals Continue Winning Run With this victory, Rajasthan Royals climbed to the top of the points table, registering their third consecutive win. Mumbai Indians, meanwhile, slumped to their second straight defeat, struggling to find momentum in the tournament. The match, though shortened, delivered high-intensity cricket, with Jaiswal’s brilliance standing out as the defining performance of the night.

Finch Questions Cameron Green’s Form, Urges KKR to Rethink Strategy

Former Australia captain Aaron Finch has raised concerns over Cameron Green’s underwhelming start to IPL 2026, suggesting that the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) allrounder appears “tentative” and lacking the confidence that once defined his batting. Speaking on ESPNcricinfo’s TimeOut programme, Finch pointed out that Green has struggled to make an impact in his first three outings this season. Despite being bought for a record INR 25.20 crore—making him the most expensive overseas player in IPL auction history—Green has failed to convert his starts into meaningful contributions. The 26-year-old began his campaign with a quick 18 off 10 balls against Mumbai Indians, followed by a run-out for 2 against Sunrisers Hyderabad. His latest outing against Punjab Kings ended quickly as he was dismissed for a duck, caught behind off Xavier Bartlett in a rain-affected match. “There’s a bit of panic, he’s not looking the same as before,” Finch observed. “He was imposing at the crease earlier, especially during his time at Mumbai Indians, but now he looks unsure.” Finch referenced Green’s standout 2023 season, where he scored 452 runs in 16 innings at a strike rate above 160 while batting at No. 3. In contrast, his current performances have lacked the same authority and intent. The former opener also advised KKR against demoting Green in the batting order. “Don’t push him down. Either promote him up the order or consider giving him a break,” Finch suggested, highlighting inconsistency in Green’s batting positions this season. Beyond individual performances, Finch was critical of KKR’s tactical decisions—particularly their choice to bat first in a rain-hit fixture at Eden Gardens. With the pitch covered for extended periods and moisture aiding seam movement, Finch felt the decision backfired. “Batting first in those conditions makes no sense,” he said. “There was cloud cover, rain around, and the pitch had been under covers. All indicators suggested bowling first, especially with DLS potentially coming into play.” KKR will look to regroup quickly as they prepare to face Lucknow Super Giants on April 9 in Kolkata, hoping both their strategy and their marquee signing can turn things around.

Hasaranga, Pathirana Yet to Complete Mandatory Fitness Tests Ahead of IPL 2026

Sri Lanka’s preparations for a busy cricketing calendar have hit a hurdle, with several centrally contracted players yet to meet mandatory fitness standards set by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC). Among the notable names are Wanindu Hasaranga and Matheesha Pathirana, both of whom are still awaiting their fitness assessments. According to SLC, only 24 out of 45 centrally contracted players have successfully passed the required tests so far. While 15 players are yet to undergo evaluation due to reasons ranging from injuries to logistical challenges, six others have reportedly failed at least one attempt. The situation surrounding Hasaranga is particularly concerning. The 28-year-old leg-spinner has been sidelined since suffering a left hamstring tear during Sri Lanka’s opening match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup against Ireland in February. Compounding matters, he has not yet applied for a No Objection Certificate (NOC), which is necessary for participation in overseas leagues, including the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, where he is expected to feature for the Lucknow Super Giants. Pathirana, meanwhile, appears closer to a return. The young fast bowler sustained a calf strain during Sri Lanka’s match against Australia in the same tournament but has since resumed bowling in the nets. Sources indicate he could travel to India by mid-April to join the Kolkata Knight Riders, although his official fitness test is still pending and likely to take place soon. SLC’s renewed emphasis on fitness extends beyond the national squad to domestic cricket. The ongoing National Super League has also implemented baseline fitness requirements. While these are less demanding than those for centrally contracted players, participants must still meet minimum standards, including a 2km run and skinfold test. For centrally contracted players, the criteria are more rigorous, featuring a 20m sprint, 5-0-5 agility test, Counter Movement Jump (CMJ), and endurance and body composition assessments. Players must accumulate at least 17 out of a possible 29 points to pass. Out of the 87 players competing in the National Super League, 23 have failed to meet the minimum fitness standards and have been given a deadline of April 19 to comply. Failure to do so will result in the loss of match fees, although players may still be allowed to participate, with their future involvement under review. With the IPL fast approaching, the fitness status of key players like Hasaranga and Pathirana remains a major concern for both Sri Lanka and their respective franchises.

Shami, Pant Shine as LSG Register First Win with Five-Wicket Victory Over SRH

A clinical bowling display from Mohammed Shami followed by a composed half-century from Rishabh Pant guided Lucknow Super Giants to their first win of IPL 2026, defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad by five wickets in Hyderabad. After opting to field first, Pant’s decision paid immediate dividends as Shami delivered a masterclass in the powerplay. The veteran pacer returned exceptional figures of 2 for 9, removing Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head cheaply to put SRH under early pressure. SRH’s troubles deepened when Ishan Kishan and Liam Livingstone fell in quick succession, leaving them reeling at 26 for 4 inside eight overs. However, a remarkable recovery followed as Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy stitched together a 116-run partnership — the highest fifth-wicket stand in SRH’s history. Both batters notched up half-centuries, with Klaasen reaching his fifty in 33 balls and Reddy in 30, shifting momentum in SRH’s favour. At 123 for 4 after 16 overs, SRH looked set for a formidable total. However, LSG’s bowlers staged a strong comeback in the death overs. Avesh Khan and his teammates triggered a collapse, picking up crucial wickets and restricting SRH to 156 for 9. Klaasen and Reddy were both dismissed in quick succession, halting the scoring surge as SRH managed only 33 runs in the final four overs. In response, Aiden Markram provided LSG with a solid start, scoring a fluent 45 off 27 balls. He set the tone early despite a sluggish pitch that made strokeplay difficult. Wickets, however, fell at regular intervals, keeping the chase tense. Pant, who struggled for fluency initially, held one end together. With 43 runs required off the last five overs, the match hung in the balance. The equation came down to nine runs needed off the final over bowled by Jaydev Unadkat. Pant rose to the occasion, smashing two boundaries off the first two balls to level the scores. After two dot deliveries, he sealed the victory in style, lofting the ball over mid-off. Pant’s unbeaten half-century anchored the chase and ensured LSG crossed the finish line with five wickets in hand. Earlier, Shami’s disciplined spell had laid the foundation for the win, while key contributions from Markram and Pant completed a much-needed victory for LSG in the tournament.

Overton Returns as CSK Opt to Bowl Against Unchanged RCB

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ruturaj Gaikwad won his first toss in three matches and elected to bowl against defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in IPL 2026. After suffering back-to-back defeats, CSK made a key change to their playing XI, bringing back England allrounder Jamie Overton. The move increased their overseas player count to three, having fielded only two in their previous outing against Punjab Kings. Gaikwad also provided an update on veteran wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni, stating that he is recovering well from a calf injury. However, CSK continued to miss the services of Dewald Brevis, who is sidelined with a side strain. Despite the reshuffle, there was still no place in the XI for West Indies allrounder Akeal Hosein. Left-arm spinning allrounder Prashant Veer retained his spot, even though he did not bowl in the previous match. CSK also left out their high-profile ₹14.2 crore signing Kartik Sharma from the starting XI, placing him on the Impact Substitute bench alongside Australian allrounder Matt Short. One of the two is expected to bolster the batting lineup during the chase. Meanwhile, RCB stuck with the same combination that secured victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their opening match of the season at this venue. Captain Rajat Patidar opted for continuity, with wristspinner Suyash Sharma likely to be introduced as an Impact Substitute when they take the field. The RCB lineup features prominent names including Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, while CSK’s batting order includes Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, and Sarfaraz Khan. With CSK aiming to bounce back from consecutive losses and RCB looking to maintain their winning momentum, the contest promises to be a crucial early-season clash in IPL 2026.

GT Must ‘Consistently Bowl Their Best Ball’, Says Matthew Hayden After Narrow Loss

Gujarat Titans (GT) batting coach Matthew Hayden has called for improved discipline from his bowlers after the team slumped to a second consecutive defeat in IPL 2026, this time against the Rajasthan Royals (RR). GT’s six-run loss at home was shaped by small but decisive margins, including a noticeable difference in extras. GT conceded nine wides compared to RR’s three — a gap Hayden acknowledged as significant, though not solely responsible for the result. “It just shows the margins in these games are so small,” Hayden said in the post-match press conference. “The discipline around wides and consistently bowling the best ball is something we need to improve.” Star Bowlers Off Rhythm GT’s premier bowlers struggled to maintain accuracy. Kagiso Rabada returned figures of 2 for 42, while Rashid Khan finished with 1 for 39. Mohammed Siraj endured an off day, conceding 48 runs for just one wicket. Hayden noted that while Rabada and Rashid were not at their sharpest, their performances were not as poor as the figures suggested. Siraj, however, struggled with his line and length. “He was a little bit too short and too wide,” Hayden said. “That’s just a great bowler having an off day.” Batting Concerns Persist GT’s struggles were not limited to bowling. Their batting has also lacked firepower, particularly in six-hitting. Against RR, GT struck 24 fours but only seven sixes, compared to RR’s 12 maximums. A similar pattern emerged in their previous match against Punjab Kings. Hayden pointed out that while GT have rotated strike effectively, their inability to match opponents in big hitting has hurt them in crucial moments. Middle-Order Collapse Costs GT Chasing a challenging target of 210, GT appeared in control at 103 for 1 after 10 overs. However, a dramatic collapse followed, triggered largely by Ravi Bishnoi’s spell. GT slipped from 107 for 1 to 161 for 7 within four overs. A key moment came when Washington Sundar attempted an aggressive shot against Bishnoi and was dismissed. Hayden suggested the decision-making at that stage could have been more measured. “There wasn’t a lot that went wrong in the first 12 overs,” Hayden said. “But those moments — whether to attack or consolidate — become crucial.” Costly Mistakes in the Field GT were also hurt by a run-out involving Shahrukh Khan, with Rashid Khan at the other end. Hayden highlighted the sharp fielding of Ravindra Jadeja as a decisive factor in that play. “Those two wickets straightaway could have been the difference,” he said, reiterating how fine the margins were in a six-run game. Looking Ahead GT will aim to regroup quickly as they prepare to face the in-form Delhi Capitals, who have won both their matches so far, in Delhi on Wednesday. With back-to-back defeats placing them alongside Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings in an unwanted early-season record, Hayden emphasized the need for sharper execution in both bowling and batting. “In T20 cricket, especially when chasing big totals, those small decisions and moments make all the difference,” he said.

Bishnoi Turns the Tide After Tough 2025 with Match-Winning Spell for Rajasthan Royals

In a dramatic turnaround during Rajasthan Royals’ clash against Gujarat Titans, Ravi Bishnoi delivered a match-defining spell that highlighted his resurgence after a difficult IPL 2025 season. Chasing a daunting target of 211, Gujarat Titans appeared firmly in control in the 11th over, with B Sai Sudharsan well set at the crease and several power-hitters waiting in the wings. However, the game shifted dramatically when Bishnoi struck, claiming three wickets in just six deliveries across two overs. His scalps included Sudharsan, Glenn Phillips, and Washington Sundar, derailing Gujarat’s chase. Bishnoi finished with impressive figures of 4 for 41, earning the Player-of-the-Match award and guiding Rajasthan Royals to a narrow six-run victory. Reflecting on his performance, Bishnoi credited his comeback to focused improvements across all aspects of his game. “Last season was difficult, but I stuck to my processes. My main issue was my length—whenever I missed it, I was punished. I worked hard in domestic cricket to correct that,” he said after the match. The leg-spinner, who was once a standout performer for Lucknow Super Giants, endured his worst IPL season in 2025, managing just nine wickets in 11 matches at a high average and economy rate. Following that slump, he was released ahead of the 2026 auction and later picked up by Rajasthan Royals for INR 7.20 crore. His tactical awareness was evident during the match, particularly against left-handed batters. Bishnoi revealed that he deliberately targeted the longer boundary side by bowling googlies from middle and leg stump lines. “The idea was to make them hit against the bigger boundary. It worked well, and we had planned it with the team and Dhruv Jurel,” he explained. Among his four wickets, Bishnoi highlighted the dismissal of Rahul Tewatia as the most crucial. Known for his finishing abilities, Tewatia’s wicket in the 15th over came at a pivotal moment, preventing Gujarat from regaining momentum. While Bishnoi’s spell turned the game, it was Tushar Deshpande who sealed the victory in the final over, conceding just four runs with a series of pinpoint yorkers. The performance marks a significant comeback for Bishnoi, who appears to have rediscovered his rhythm and confidence, reinforcing his reputation as one of the IPL’s most promising spin bowlers.
