IPL 2026: It's like every game is a final, and I love it - CSK coach Hussey

Chennai Super Kings will have to treat every remaining game as a "final" after their defeat to Lucknow Super Giants left their IPL campaign hanging by a thread, said batting coach Michael Hussey. The five-time champions now staring at a virtual must-win situation in their final two league matches. CSK were outplayed by an already-eliminated LSG side as Mitchell Marsh's blistering 38-ball 90 powered the hosts to a comfortable chase of 188 on a pace-friendly surface on Friday. The defeat left Ruturaj Gaikwad's side stranded on 12 points from 13 matches, turning their final two league fixtures into virtual knockout contests. "Well, I mean, I actually love this time of the tournament because it's like every game is like a final, you know, and we're in that situation now," Hussey said, with CSK now needing victories in both their remaining games while also relying on a few other results to go in their favour.

We have not been able to handle pressure: PBKS assistant coach Haddin

Punjab Kings assistant coach Brad Haddin admitted that his side has struggled to cope with pressure after it suffered a fifth successive defeat to continue a stunning mid-season slump in the ongoing Indian Premier League. PBKS' latest loss came against Mumbai Indians, who emerged winners by six wickets in a last-ball thriller in the hill town on Thursday night. It was a far cry from the seven-match unbeaten streak that PBKS enjoyed earlier in the season. The latest setback has left PBKS with a must-win scenario in their remaining two games to stay in playoff contention. "We have just not been able to handle pressure in the last few defeats. We have not played our best cricket when we need to, which has been disappointing," Haddin said in the post-match press conference. "We are as disappointed as you guys are with the way we started the tournament and where we are now. There is no hiding that we've got to play better." PBKS appeared to be in control while defending 200 before an .

IPL 2026: Shardul Thakur gives update on MI skipper Hardik Pandya's fitness

Mumbai Indians all-rounder Shardul Thakur clarified that skipper Hardik Pandya's absence in the last three matches was due to injury, adding that he could return for their next game against Kolkata Knight Riders while dismissing speculation over the star's future with the franchise. Pandya did not travel to Dharamsala for MI's six-wicket win over Punjab Kings, where Jasprit Bumrah became the team's third captain this season after Suryakumar Yadav also missed the game following the birth of his child. "Hardik is injured, so he couldn't travel for a couple of games," Thakur said at the post-match media interaction on Thursday. Down with back spasm, Pandya first missed MI's home game against Lucknow Super Giants on May 4 and then sat out the clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Raipur despite travelling with the squad. "He went to Raipur (for the RCB match on May 10), but couldn't play. He is training in Mumbai now and I expect him to be back in Kolkata and play (at Eden Garde
