IPL 2026: Suryakumar Yadav in phase where nothing works, says Jayawardene

Suryakumar Yadav is going through a phase in his career where nothing is working for him but he has no option but to keep working harder, Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene said, firmly backing the senior batter. Suryakumar, who scored 700 plus runs during the 2025 season, is enduring a rough patch despite leading the country to T20 World Cup triumph. He has so far totalled 183 runs in nine knocks with a single fifty in Delhi and most of his scores hovered around 20 with hard length deliveries on the body posing challenge for him. "If he (Surya) gets a few scores together, I think he will find that rhythm. I think sometimes when things are not going your way, it doesn't fall in place," Jayawardene was empathetic while judging Surya's poor show so far. "I think it was a pretty good shot (his dismissal off Ramakrishna Ghosh) that went straight to the fielder. I mean it's one of those things I mean I played enough cricket to understand," the former Sri Lankan skipper ...

MS Dhoni unmatched in keeping to spinners, reckons Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin has rated MS Dhoni's wicketkeeping as the finest he has experienced, saying he hasn't seen "anyone else" operate like the former India captain behind the stumps to spinners. Having shared a long association in the Indian team and at Chennai Super Kings, Ashwin recalled how Dhoni's glovework and clarity of thought stood out beyond his celebrated leadership. "His glovework has always amazed me. People talk a lot about his captaincy, and rightly so, the titles speak for themselves," Ashwin said on JioStar's 'The Ravichandran Ashwin Experience'. "But for me, two things stand out -- one, how good a middle-order batter he was, someone who could take the game deep and finish it. "And the second is his keeping against spinners. I haven't seen anyone else like him." Ashwin also highlighted Dhoni's hands-off approach that empowered bowlers. "He never set the field for me. I would set my own field, and he would just say, 'Don't double-guess. Don't pre-empt. If you get hi

IPL 2026: CSK coach Fleming credits Gaikwad's batting for captaincy growth

Ruturaj Gaikwad has shown a lot of consistency in his decision-making and a lot of it could be attributed to his return to form as a batter, said Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming.| Gaikwad, who has had a wretched run during the first half of IPL, has now scored 74 not out and 67 not out in the last two games and CSK have won three out of their last five games to remain in the sixth position in points table. "Yeah, he's getting better each game. It was a bit of a slow start as we were trying to form the bowling patterns at different grounds as we played away for the first couple of games. But the last few games he's been excellent," Fleming said after CSK beat Mumbai Indians by eight wickets on Saturday. CSK's coach for the past 18 seasons also felt that Gaikwad's good show with the bat has also helped him gain confidence as a captain. "One of the key things that helps your captaincy is batting well. And he's found a bit of form in the last two games. And that's, I thi
