IPL 2026: Gill blames poor batting in death overs for GT's loss vs PBKS

Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill said his side's failure to capitalise in the final five overs while batting proved decisive, as Punjab Kings outplayed them in their Indian Premier League opener here on Tuesday. Gill's side, despite boasting a formidable batting line-up featuring Jos Buttler, Sai Sudharsan and Glenn Phillips, could not capitalise on a fairly good batting surface, managing only 162 for 6, and the skipper later admitted that a total in the range of 210220 was achievable on the wicket. Punjab Kings' Cooper Connolly made batting look effortless on the same surface, producing a fluent 72. "It looked like a 210-220 wicket. We thought 175 would be a good score, but we kept losing wickets and didn't score much in the last five overs," conceded Gill after the three-wicket loss. "Once the ball got older, it was difficult to hit it down the ground," he added. Gill said that batting became easier later on, as a drizzle set in and the wet ball made it easier for the home ..

IPL 2026: Parthiv Patel cites tough pitch, conditions in GT loss to PBKS

It wasn't an easy wicket to bat on, said Gujarat Titans assistant coach Parthiv Patel, citing the challenging pitch as the primary reason for his team's three-wicket loss to Punjab Kings in their IPL opener here. Punjab Kings chased a 163-run target with five balls to spare on Tuesday. "As a team you want them to fight. I am happy that we took the game to the last over," Patel said in the post-match press conference. "It wasn't the easiest wicket to bat on. It's been raining here for the last three-four days and the groundsmen did a really good job to prepare the wicket. Once the ball was old, it was reversing a bit, it was also holding up a bit. After powerplay, batting wasn't easy," he explained. However, Patel also stated that the difficult pitch does not take away credit from the effort of Punjab's bowlers. Senior spinner Yuzvendra Chahal (2/28) and seamer Vijaykumar Vyashak (3/34) kept things tight to restrict Gujarat to a relatively modest total before young Australian south

IPL 2026: Chahal impressed by Connolly's debut innings, calls him big find

Punjab Kings spinner Yuzvendra Chahal believes young Cooper Connolly will be one of the "finds" of this season, praising the young Australian batter's maturity after he scored a match-winning fifty on his IPL debut. The 22-year-old Connolly announced himself in style, smashing an unbeaten 72 to guide Punjab Kings to a nervy three-wicket win over Gujarat Titans in their IPL campaign opener here on Tuesday. "He's only 20 something but has a hunger. The way he performed in his very first match, batting at number 3, playing a match-winning innings, shows how mature he is mentally," Chahal said at the post-match press conference. Walking in at No. 3, Connolly held firm even as wickets fell at the other end, showing remarkable composure for a newcomer. "He knows what the situation is. He knows that if I am there till the end, then I have to finish the game. And that shows maturity. That is a good sign for our team. "And the way he is batting, I think he will be one of the finds of this

IPL 2026: Iyer's desire to win for PBKS burns even stronger, says Ponting

The hunger to win the Indian Premier League trophy is burning more than ever now for Shreyas Iyer, who is keen to do one better in the 2026 season, Punjab Kings' head coach Ricky Ponting said on Monday. Having joined the franchise last year as their skipper, the Iyer-led PBKS topped the points table in the group stage and went on to qualify for the final, where they lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. "The level of play that we saw from him last year with the bat was probably as good as he's ever had in an IPL and I can just see that hunger in his eyes probably burning more than ever now," Ponting told the reporters here. "Having got so close as a captain with a new team last year, I'm sure that he's very keen to go one step better this year," the head coach said on the eve of their season opener Gujarat Titans. Looking back at their successful partnership for another franchise in the IPL having previously worked at Delhi Capitals, Ponting said they both think alike. "We've worke
