IPL 2026: MI pacer Ashwani credits focus on yorker after four-fer vs GT

Young Mumbai Indians pacer Ashwani Kumar said he worked diligently on his yorkers and swing while waiting patiently for an opportunity, making the most of it with a four-wicket haul against Gujarat Titans. After Tilak Varma's 101 off 45 balls powered Mumbai Indians to 199 for 5, Ashwani, playing his first game of the season, returned figures of four for 24 as the visitors bowled out Gujarat Titans for 100 in 15.5 overs. "I was working on my yorker, on my swing. I was just waiting. Whenever I got a chance, I would do well. Otherwise, I was going to the temple. That's all I was doing," the 24-year-old said during the post-match press conference. "I had seen the batsmen before, how they play, but when I went in and saw them, I did what the wicket demanded. We discussed it with the captain and tried to execute accordingly. "It's a black-soil pitch, so we knew the ball would keep a bit low. In the first innings, the ball was moving a bit here and there. So our plan was to hit the right

IPL 2026: GT coach Hayden rues batting collapse in 99-run loss vs MI

Gujarat Titans' batting coach Matthew Hayden was scathing about their 99-run defeat to Mumbai Indians, blaming a "horror" batting display and poor death bowling for the heavy loss in the IPL. From being 44/3 in 5.5 overs, MI hammered 73 runs in the last four overs to post a challenging 199/5 here on Monday. In reply, GT were bundled out for 100. "I expect our margins to be a lot smaller than 100 (99). That is an unacceptable scorecard for our batting unit," the legendary Australian opener told media in the post-match interaction. "It was just a horrible day for us today. Truth be told, there was nothing good about this day, really, apart from Rabada's performance with the ball. so we've got some work to do, definitely." GT boast a strong batting line-up in Sai Sudharsan (759 runs), Shubman Gill (717), and Jos Buttler (538). They have also added New Zealand's explosive Glenn Phillips in the middle order alongside Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia. "When you look down at our batting .

IPL 2026: MI skipper Hardik Pandya praises Tilak for stepping up in style

Back to winning ways after four defeats in a row, a happy Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya said he always had faith in Tilak Varma's talent and it was about time the Hyderabad man delivered as per his potential, like he did in the 99-run victory over Gujarat Titans on Monday. Tilak played a stunning knock of an unbeaten 101 off 45 balls. After being 19 off 22, he got an earful from his skipper during the second strategic time-out, and things changed rapidly from there. "The message I think, I realised that the kind of talent Tilak has, he really doesn't have to worry. So my message to him was just watch the ball and hit the ball. Was about time he came out and delivered. It was much needed for Tilak, the group and Mumbai Indians," Pandya said after the match here on Monday. This was the first time MI won in Ahmedabad and Pandya believes this could be "The Match" when it starts falling in place for his side. "It's always challenging to go away and win but at the same time Ahmeda

IPL 2026: Connolly opens up on teamwork behind PBKS success run

Unbeaten so far this season, Punjab Kings have fostered a positive dressing-room environment, with players learning from one another and "enjoying taking little notes off each other," said batting all-rounder Cooper Connolly. Connolly made 87 off 46 balls and shared 182 runs for the second wicket with opener Priyansh Arya (93 off 37 balls) to set up a massive 254 for 7 for the Punjab side in their 54-run win against Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday. "We all have discussions about what works for each other, and we take little things out of each other's books. We've enjoyed sort of taking little notes off each other," said Connolly about his side's five-match winning run in the league so far. "We're all looking to try and get better, that's what the game's about, be the best team there is, and we're looking forward to plenty more notes and messages from each other to get better as a group and a squad, and not my game." Connolly lauded captain Shreyas Iyer for leading the side with ...

IPL 2026: Shreyas Iyer explains six-hitting game fueling PBKS run-fests

A light-hearted six-hitting contest inside the dressing room is the reason behind Punjab Kings' batting blitz, said skipper Shreyas Iyer as the table-toppers dished out another batting masterclass to slay Lucknow Super Giants by 54 runs here on Sunday. Priyansh Arya and Cooper Connolly smashed 93 and 87 respectively as PBKS posted 254/7 -- the highest total of this IPL season. "Exceptional partnership, some shots were jaw-dropping. Hitting fast bowlers off the back-foot straight. Composure in the middle overs was sensational," Iyer said during the post-match presentation. "Was talking with Cooper and Arya, said let's compete for the most no. of sixes. Prize is my bat, doesn't make sense but hope it'll make us happy. When you let players be, I think they just deliver. That's our mantra." Arya and Connolly added 182 runs in just 13.2 overs for a hugely entertaining second-wicket stand. "I don't tell them how to go about their specific innings, they have their patterns set. Ricky Pon

IPL 2026: RR coach Rathour backs Riyan Parag to revive form with the bat

Struggling Riyan Parag may seem to be Rajasthan Royals' weak link in the batting unit at the moment, but head coach Vikram Rathour backed the skipper, saying it is "just a matter of time" before he starts firing. Parag continued his lean run, scoring 12 against Kolkata Knight Riders here on Sunday as the visitors suffered their second loss on the trot, going down by four wickets. "As far as I am concerned, it is just a matter of time. Not everyone makes runs every time. Teams run in such a way that some stay in form, some stay out of form. There is no doubt that he will come back and win us a few games on his own as a batter," said Rathour in the post-match press conference. Parag has managed just 61 runs from six innings at a poor strike rate of 122, with a highest of 20. Rathour attributed his lack of runs partly to his return from an injury. "He has a lot of potential. There is nothing going wrong with him. One thing is he has come back from an injury. He has played less ...

IPL 2026: Varun Chakaravarthy says pitches hurt rhythm, not his form

India frontline spinner Varun Chakravarthy on Sunday struck a dismissive note on his recent struggles, attributing them to unhelpful pitches rather than any "mistakes" in his bowling, while also brushing aside outside criticism. On a sluggish Eden Gardens surface in an IPL afternoon match, Chakravarthy returned to form with figures of 3/14, playing a key role in Kolkata Knight Riders' first win after six matches -- a four-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals. However, when asked about dealing with the difficult phase dating back to the T20 World Cup Super Eights match against South Africa from February 22, Chakravarthy appeared defiant. "Bowlers will concede runs. Which game are you talking about?" he said, in response to a query on his struggles after his player-of-the-match show against RR. His dip in form began during the Super Eights stage of the T20 World Cup, where he was taken apart by South African duo of David Miller and Dewald Brevis, and the trend carried into the ...
