Former RCB player delivers massive take on Virat Kohli’s dismissal vs LSG in IPL 2026 Former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter Mohammad Kaif reckons Virat Kohli had no answer to the sensational delivery from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pacer Prince Yadav that dismissed him for a two-ball duck. The two teams faced off in Match 50 of IPL 2026 on Thursday, May 7, at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. Chasing 213 in 19 overs under the DLS method, RCB were rocked early when Prince produced a peach of a 140.4 kph nip-backer that uprooted Kohli’s off stump. RCB eventually fell short in the chase and lost the contest by nine runs. Speaking on Star Sports after the match, Kaif called it a dream delivery. He noted that the ball initially shaped away before sharply jagging back in, adding that there was hardly anything Kohli could have done against a ball of that quality. He said: “Keep watching that ball to Virat Kohli again and again. That was the kind of delivery every bowler dreams of producing...

Star player to replace Suryakumar Yadav as T20I captain after IPL 2026: Reports The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) are reportedly considering a major leadership transition in the T20I squad by looking to replace Suryakumar Yadav with Shreyas Iyer after the conclusion of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. The selection committee are considering making the change when they convene to pick the squads for the upcoming assignments. According to a report by the Times of India, the BCCI have reportedly had enough with Suryakumar Yadav’s lean patch with the bat, and feel that the time is right for a switch with major assignments like the 2028 T20 World Cup and the 2028 LA Olympics in mind. Team India will face Ireland, Zimbabwe, and England in the coming months in the shortest format, away from home, providing a decent launch pad for a potential leadership transition. While Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson are also reportedly seen as worthy successors to Suryakumar Yadav,...

Wasim Jaffer gives massive statement on Hardik Pandya being potentially replaced as MI captain amid IPL 2026 Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer believes Mumbai Indians (MI) will not remove Hardik Pandya as captain amid the ongoing IPL 2026. He suggested that the management will instead evaluate the all-rounder’s performance once the season is over. Hardik’s leadership has come under scrutiny following MI’s underwhelming run in the edition. The 32-year-old missed the team’s home match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Monday, May 4, due to back spasms. Jaffer suggested that Hardik alone should not be blamed for the side’s poor performances. On being asked if the five-time champions could consider replacing their captain mid-season, he said in his YouTube video: “All these decisions are taken after the tournament. Nobody thinks about it mid-tournament. Mumbai Indians’ journey is alive just mathematically; they are also almost out of the tournament. “They have underperformed, but you...

Why is Hardik Pandya not playing today’s MI vs LSG IPL 2026 match [Watch] Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of the IPL 2026 match against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Wankhede Stadium on Monday, May 4. Suryakumar Yadav has replaced him as the stand-in-captain because the all-rounder was unwell (back spasms). Speaking at the toss, Yadav said (via Cricbuzz): “He [Hardik Pandya] is not well tonight, so going into his shoes.” Hardik Pandya’s absence will not play a big role for MI as the skipper has managed just 146 runs and four wickets in eight matches in IPL 2026. In his captaincy, Mumbai managed to win only two out of their eight games. After losing to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by eight wickets in the last outing, Pandya addressed that the five-time champions have fallen behind in the race to the playoffs. He said (via Cricbuzz): “Not the season, I feel, not just the night.” Many users are now following live updates and analysis of matches using the bhal...
