IPL 2026: Krunal Pandya says no preset bouncers, aims to outthink batters

Royal Challengers Bengaluru spin bowling all-rounder Krunal Pandya says he does not pre-plan sending down his bouncers but uses the delivery as per his gut feeling and to be one step ahead of the batters. Krunal produced a measly spell of 4-0-26-1 as RCB defeated Mumbai Indians by 18 runs in their Indian Premier League clash here on Sunday. In reply to RCB's monumental 240 for four, Mumbai Indians could manage 222 for five. "I have never shied away from trying different and new things because with the Impact Player rule, previously, you had No. 6 or 7 as all-rounders and batsmanship was quite different. But now there are pure batters (coming in) at No. 8," Krunal told reporters after the match. " and plus the skill sets, young boys like Mukul (Choudhary) and Vaibhav (Sooryavanshi) are hitting from ball one consistently. As a bowler, I want to be one step ahead with the skillset and mental part as well. "I am glad that it is coming out well and hope that in this format, there are ..

IPL 2026: Faf du Plessis warns MI against over-reliance on Bumrah

Mumbai Indians need to reduce their over reliance on Jasprit Bumrah if they are to gain consistency in the IPL, says former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis. Mumbai Indians, perennial slow-starters, have lost three games on the bounce after winning their tournament opener. On Sunday night, they conceded 240 runs against RCB but failed to chase them down. Pacer Bumrah is their trump card but is yet to pick up a wicket in four games. Du Plessis reckons MI need to look beyond Bumrah's four overs and use their pace spearhead judiciously at the same time. "When you look at that bowling attack, especially in high-scoring games of 250 or more, you have to assess what the rest of the attack is conceding beyond Bumrah's four overs, which are usually very economical. That's where Mumbai Indians need to find answers," du Plessis told Star Sports. "They need to maximise Bumrah's impact by using him at key stages, but it doesn't get any easier with strong batting line-ups continuing to ...

IPL 2026: Prasidh Krishna credits smart bouncer change-ups for wickets

India speedster Prasidh Krishna believes that using change-ups cleverly, including a mixture of hard lengths and variation in bouncers, has worked wonders for him during the ongoing Indian Premier League. Prasidh, who is once again leading the list of top wicket-takers in this edition, took 4 for 28 in a game-changing performance against Lucknow Super Giants here on Sunday. He got one with a hard length delivery, one with back of the length and two wickets with variations of off-cutter bouncer and wide bumper. "I think it's a mixture of bowling those hard lengths, those bouncers, the off-cutters. The other bases were bowling based on bouncers, so I thought I could bring up the change-up and that actually worked for us," Prasidh said at the post-match press conference. In fact, the delivery that he bowled to dismiss the hard-hitting Mukul Choudhary was the best of the match. He rolled his finger with an off-break grip but used his wrists to dig it in as Mukul tried to jump and play a

IPL 2026: Hardik Pandya admits MI have been reactive, not setting the tone

Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya admitted his side needs to introspect and build momentum after losing to Royal Challengers Bengaluru fair and square in an IPL match here on Sunday. He acknowledged that playing catch-up rather than setting the pace is not helping their campaign. Chasing a mammoth 240 for 4 after half-centuries from Phil Salt, Virat Kohli and skipper Rajat Patidar, MI were restricted to 222 for 5 despite Sherfane Rutherford's pyrotechnics, as he scored an unbeaten 71 off 31 balls. "I think we conceded way too many (runs) as well. I think that was always going to be catch-up. I think in the last couple of games, as a bowling unit or even as a batting unit, we've been catching up in the game rather than leading the game," said Pandya after MI's third loss of the season, which saw them slump to eighth on the points table. RCB, on the other hand, maintained their third position on the table with three wins from four matches. He admitted that the team's plans weren'

Losing 4 quick wickets was turning point: Venugopal Rao on DC's loss to CSK

Delhi Capitals Director of Cricket Venugopal Rao said losing four wickets in as many overs proved to be the turning point as they went down by 23 runs to Chennai Super Kings in their IPL match here. Chasing 213 to win, DC were placed 61 for no loss in 4.5 overs but lost the wickets of KL Rahul (18), Pathum Nissanka (41), Axar Patel (1) and Sameer Rizvi (6) to slip to 76 for 4 in 8 overs on Saturday. "I think after seeing this second inning's batting, there was a bit of due there. I felt losing four wickets in four overs was the turning point. In this format, always felt that back-to-back wickets, it's always cause for the team," Rao told reporters. DC were also sloppy in the field as they missed a run-out of Ayush Mhatre and dropped a catch of Sanju Samson, who made them pay by scoring a 56-ball 115. "It happens. It's a long tournament, we will have one or two bad games. In the first three games, we fielded well. One-off game; after the strategic timeout, we missed a run-out and ga

IPL 2026: Rana fined 25% match fees, Gaikwad penalised during CSK vs DC

Delhi Capitals batter Nitish Rana has been fined 25 per cent of his match fee for an intense altercation with the fourth umpire during their Indian Premier League match against Chennai Super Kings here. The incident occurred in the 19th over when umpire denied Tristan Stubbs' request to change his wet gloves, leading to a heated dispute. Stubbs asked to change his gloves due to heavy perspiration in Chennai's humidity on Saturday. After his dismissal, a frustrated Rana confronted the fourth umpire for which he was also handed a demerit point. "Nitish Rana, batter, Delhi Capitals has been fined 25% of his match fee and has also accumulated 1 demerit point for breaching Level 1 of the IPL's Code of Conduct for Players," IPL said in a statement. "Rana was found to have breached article 2.3 of the IPL's Code of Conduct, which relates to 'use of an audible obscenity during a match'," the statement added. Rana admitted to the offence and accepted the Match Referee's sanction. Gaikwad f
