Ponting Called It a 'Virus' — PBKS Are Dropping the IPL, One Catch at a Time

The BCCI Just Banned the IPL's Open-Door Policy — and Named the Reason
An 8-page directive sent to all 10 franchises on May 7 targets 'girlfriend culture,' honey-trap risks, and betting-linked influencers gaining access to restricted zones. IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal says the ACSU has flagged anomalies. The gloves are off.
Connolly's 'Tempo Game' Is Making the IPL's Power Hitters Look One-Dimensional
At 22, the youngest overseas centurion in IPL history has 377 runs at 171 strike rate for Punjab Kings — and he's done it by modelling himself on Shaun Marsh, not Chris Gayle. His coach already sees an Australian future. The IPL should see a warning.
Kohli Gave Prince Yadav the Blueprint — Prince Used It to Castle Him
After a previous match, Virat Kohli advised the LSG pacer to trust his length as long as the ball was moving. Prince Yadav took the advice, delivered a 140 kph inswinger that uprooted Kohli's off stump for a two-ball duck, and woke up to 18,000 new comments on his Instagram. This is the story of the ball of IPL 2026.
Badani Will 'Rally Around' Kuldeep — But 24 Sixes and 3% Don't Rally Back

'He's Our Backbone Now' — Samson Chooses Win Over Century, CSK Stay Alive

Politicians Wanted Freebies. Bengaluru Lost the IPL Final. Ahmedabad Keeps Winning.
Karnataka MLAs demanded VIP tickets to the showpiece event. The BCCI said no — then handed it to the Narendra Modi Stadium for the second consecutive year. The pattern is impossible to ignore.

RCB's Jitesh Sharma set the internet on fire by calling IPL 2026's youngest sensation 'unprofessional' on AB de Villiers' podcast. Then came the clarification: ice cream, cartoons, and the most wholesome defence of a 15-year-old you'll read this season.
'Above My Pay Grade': Simmons Dodges the Dhoni Question, Rohit Turns Back Time
CSK's bowling coach refused to give a Dhoni injury update — 'He will be ready when he is ready' — while 800km away, another 39-year-old proved that comebacks don't need press conferences. They need Wankhede and a short boundary.
'Not Acceptable': Gavaskar Rages as Bumrah's No-Ball Disaster Caps a Broken Season
Eight no-balls in one match. Three wickets in ten games. An average of 132. India's greatest fast bowler is unrecognisable — and Gavaskar just said what everyone's been thinking.

Narine's 200th Wicket Club — KKR's Spin Twins Flipped SRH's Off Switch
Sunil Narine became the first overseas bowler to 200 IPL wickets — and the first in history to reach the milestone with one franchise. He celebrated by combining with Varun Chakravarthy to engineer SRH's most humiliating collapse of the season: 105/1 became 165 all out. Nine wickets. Ten overs. A five-match winning streak, gone.
'Plastic Captain' — The Punditry Class Is Done Being Polite About Pandya
Kris Srikkanth called it 'dubba captaincy.' Ambati Rayudu said drop the arrogance and rotate strike. Harsha Bhogle said three years and one playoff is an experiment that isn't working. After Hardik Pandya's 18 off 23 balls buried MI at Chepauk, the commentary box went from analysis to autopsy.
Fleming's Confession: CSK's Captain Was Drowning — Then He Batted
Stephen Fleming admitted Gaikwad's seven-game drought was eroding his captaincy. Then came back-to-back 70-plus knocks, and suddenly a squad missing Dhoni, Ellis, Khaleel, Mhatre, and Ghosh started winning again. The lesson MI refuse to learn: when your captain can't bat, nothing else works either.
Three Months, Three Wickets, Zero Apologies: Starc Comes Back Swinging
Mitchell Starc's controversial absence became IPL 2026's biggest off-field saga. His return was even louder: 3/40 in four overs, DC's record chase completed, and a teammate admitting he was terrified of a teenager. The critics went quiet. The fast bowler did not.

'Not the Season' — Pandya Surrenders as Kartik Pulls the Trigger
A 20-year-old CSK debutant channelled MS Dhoni with a premeditated gun celebration after hitting the winning boundary. Across the ground, Hardik Pandya muttered the most honest three words of IPL 2026. Suryakumar Yadav walked off averaging 10.71 against pace — worse than 51 of 53 qualified batters. Mumbai Indians' season died at Chepauk on a Friday night.
Ashwin Demanded Accountability — Parag Let His Bat Do the Talking
Ravichandran Ashwin said the vaping saga 'cannot be brushed under the carpet' and called for real consequences. Hours later, Riyan Parag walked out at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium under the heaviest scrutiny of his career and hammered 90 off 50 balls. The controversy isn't over. But for one night in Jaipur, the captain chose violence — with the bat.
Jamieson Roared at a 15-Year-Old — That's the Real Compliment
Kyle Jamieson's aggressive send-off to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has Twitter screaming 'bullying.' But when international bowlers forget you're a teenager, you've already won something bigger than any single innings.
'Release Him,' 'No Hope,' 'Very Ordinary' — The World Has Given Up on MI
In the space of 48 hours, Simon Doull called for Pandya's release, Ashwin wrote off MI's playoff chances, and Srikkanth told Bumrah to go watch Jofra Archer. When everyone outside the dressing room agrees, the problem isn't the outside.
Sangakkara Says It's 'Addressed' — Everyone Else Says It's a Joke
The BCCI fined Riyan Parag 25% of his match fee for vaping on live broadcast in a country where e-cigarettes are illegal. Kumar Sangakkara wants to move on. Mothers Against Vaping wants a criminal probe. And the IPL code of conduct doesn't even have a defined sanction for it. Welcome to cricket's accountability theatre.
Kohli Raged, Bishop Called Foul, and Gill Had the Last Laugh
Virat Kohli gave Shubman Gill the send-off of the season — then watched GT chase down 155 with four overs to spare. Ian Bishop believes Patidar's catch dismissal shouldn't have stood. And Gill? He rewrote RCB's slogan on social media just to twist the knife.
Pathan Warned Bumrah About the Slower Ball Addiction. Wankhede Just Proved Him Right.
Irfan Pathan diagnosed it weeks ago: 44% slower balls, pace down to 130kmph, no contrast left. Then Travis Head smashed Bumrah for a 99-metre six at the Wankhede. The world's best bowler is fighting a battle his own data says he's losing.
Pandya Admits MI Have Lost Their Identity — And 243 Runs Proved It
Mumbai Indians posted their highest-ever total batting first. SRH hunted it down with 8 balls to spare. Hardik Pandya confessed the franchise can't do what it stands for. Rohit Sharma is out for two more games. The five-time champions need 5 wins from 6 just to dream of playoffs. This is what rock bottom looks like in blue and gold.
AB de Villiers Called Klaasen 'Absolutely Ridiculous.' Pietersen Wants Him Un-Retired.
414 runs at an average of 59. Four fifties. An unbeaten 65 off 30 balls to chase down 244 at the Wankhede. AB de Villiers is in awe. Kevin Pietersen wants South Africa to pick up the phone. And Heinrich Klaasen still doesn't care about your strike rate debate.
Parag Caught Vaping on Live TV — And the BCCI Has Nowhere to Hide
Rajasthan Royals just pulled off the chase of the season to end PBKS's unbeaten run. Nobody is talking about that. They're talking about their captain casually hitting a vape in the dressing room while broadcast cameras rolled. With e-cigarettes illegal in India, this isn't just a code of conduct issue — it's a legal one.
Gavaskar Declares the Safe Total Dead — IPL 2026 Has Broken Cricket's Last Boundary
Two 260-plus chases completed. A 223 hunted down with four balls to spare against the table-toppers. Sunil Gavaskar has seen enough: 'Teams believe that no target, even 220 or 240, is beyond reach.' The man who once batted 60 overs for 36 runs in a World Cup now endorses full anarchy.
Axar 'Cannot Understand' — But 75 All Out Needs No Translation
Delhi Capitals posted the lowest powerplay score in IPL history, got demolished by 9 wickets before the floodlights mattered, and handed Virat Kohli the gentlest path to 9000 runs he could have dreamed of. Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar didn't just humiliate DC — they may have killed their season.
Patidar Says 'Bowlers Win Tournaments' — And RCB's Pace Unit Just Proved It

Ashwin Says Dhoni Plays 'Only If CSK Are Knocked Out' — The Farewell Nobody Expected
R. Ashwin just said out loud what the cricket world has been whispering for weeks.

The calf says otherwise.
Pant Says 'Too Many Minds' — Now Jaffer Wants Him Stripped of Captaincy
Five consecutive losses. Bottom of the table. A captain publicly admitting the setup makes his job harder. And now a former India opener is telling Sanjiv Goenka to hand the armband to Aiden Markram. LSG's crisis isn't on the field anymore — it's in the chain of command.
Raghuvanshi Out, Nayar Erupts, Rinku Hits Four Sixes — Lucknow Was Cinema

Steyn Says 'Criminal,' Sehwag Says 'Brainless' — LSG's Entire Think-Tank Under Siege
Nicholas Pooran has three IPL Super Over ducks. His strike rate this season is 80. And LSG still sent him out in the biggest moment of their campaign. Dale Steyn, Virender Sehwag, and the rest of the cricket world want to know: who is actually making decisions at Lucknow?
MI's Concussion Loophole: Jayawardene Says Head — Replays Say Shoulder
Mitchell Santner dived, landed on his shoulder, and walked off clutching it. Minutes later, Shardul Thakur strolled out as his 'concussion substitute.' Mahela Jayawardene's press conference explanation only deepened the controversy.
Samson's 101* at Wankhede Rewrites History — 'Values Set by Mahi Bhai'
First CSK batter to ever century against MI. Matches Rohit Sharma's T20 record at Rohit's home ground. Credits a man who wasn't even playing. This is the Sanju Samson era, and it's built on Dhoni's blueprint.
Rabada Caught Smoking at GT Hotel — And Rashid Khan's Reaction Says Everything
The one player Matthew Hayden called GT's 'only bright spot' after the 99-run humiliation against MI is now at the centre of a viral storm. A balcony, a cigarette, a teammate's audible disbelief, and the long shadow of a cocaine ban — Gujarat Titans' season just got a whole lot messier.
Pandya Blames 'Early Wickets' — But His Own 0/38 Told the Real Story
Mumbai Indians just suffered their worst defeat in IPL history — 103 runs, at home, against their oldest rivals. Hardik Pandya's press conference was a masterclass in deflection. Manoj Tiwary's response was a masterclass in honesty.

Manjrekar Calls Dhoni Fandom 'Sycophancy' — CSK and MI Are Living in the Past

PSL Banned Them for Picking IPL — Muzarabani's Agent Just Torched the Ruling
Dasun Shanaka apologized. Blessing Muzarabani's camp went nuclear. The PCB handed out one-year and two-year bans for players choosing IPL over PSL — and all it proved is that $214,000 beats $27,000 in every language.
Abhishek Sharma Broke Gayle's Record and Told You It's a Punjabi Thing
135 off 68. All 20 overs. The 5th highest score in IPL history. And when they asked how, he just said Punjabi players like to play freely. That's not arrogance — that's a man who knows exactly what he's become.
Srikkanth Says Parag Has 'Zero Impact' — His Coach Says He's Fine
61 runs in 6 innings. Four dismissals inside 10 balls. The RR captain is batting like a tailender and everyone in his camp is pretending it's a phase. Kris Srikkanth isn't pretending.
Pandya Promised 'Difficult Calls' — Tilak Answered With a 45-Ball Century
Four days after warning his teammates about 'difficult calls,' Hardik Pandya watched Tilak Varma walk in at 46/3 and walk off with 101* off 45 balls — equalling Jayasuriya's 18-year-old record and handing GT the most lopsided defeat of their season.
Lalit Modi Drops a Bombshell — Says an IPL Owner Actually Did Black Magic
A fan's lemon trick at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium went viral after Shivam Dube was bowled the very next ball. A fake CSK complaint letter followed. But the real story?

Doull Called Nayar a Failure — KKR's Dressing Room Tears Said Otherwise
Simon Doull cited 11 losses in 14 games and asked if Abhishek Nayar 'struggles in a team environment.' Hours later, Varun Chakravarthy revealed more tears in the KKR dressing room than the night they won IPL 2024 — and named Nayar the reason they hadn't fallen apart.
Hayden Called It a 'Horror Story' — GT's Own Coach Just Torched Their Season
After a 99-run loss to MI, Gujarat Titans batting coach Matthew Hayden went scorched-earth in the press conference — calling the batting 'unacceptable', the death bowling a 'horror story', and saying he felt like he was 'on the mast and the boat was sinking'. When your own coaching staff talks like this publicly, the problem isn't one bad night.
Srikkanth Called Rinku 'Old News' — He Just Wrote a New Chapter
#ReleaseRinku was trending. KKR were 85/6. Nandre Burger dropped him on 8. Rinku Singh responded with an unbeaten 53 off 34 balls to deliver Kolkata their first win in seven games — because the best finishers don't answer critics with words.
Ashwin Tears Into CSK Over Mhatre's Hamstring — 'You Made Him Run Another Ball'
Ayush Mhatre tore his hamstring attempting a second run. Instead of retiring hurt, he stayed — and on the very next ball, skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad called him for another single. R Ashwin says CSK failed their 18-year-old best batter on two counts: the knee strap before, and the forced run after.
Rashid Khan Said No to India — And That Tells You Everything About the Man
A senior Indian cricket figure offered him citizenship, documents, a new life. Australia came calling too. Rashid Khan turned them both down with five words: 'I won't play for anyone else.' His new book reveals the conversation — and GT's three-match winning streak is his quiet answer.
Chakravarthy Had Two Broken Bones — Critics Had Zero Valid Points
KKR's mystery spinner dropped the biggest post-match bombshell of IPL 2026: he's been bowling with two fractures in his left hand. His 3/14 against RR wasn't a return to form — it was an act of defiance on a broken hand.
Miller Refused the Single. Then He Refused to Lose.
Ten days ago, David Miller turned down one run and became the IPL's most mocked man. Last night at Chinnaswamy, he smashed Romario Shepherd for 16 off 3 balls with DC needing 15 from the final over. Redemption doesn't get louder than this.
'I Know What to Do': Kamboj Has the Clarity CSK's Batters Don't
Ruturaj Gaikwad admitted CSK scored just 4 runs in 2 overs at the worst possible moment against SRH. Then he turned around and praised young bowler Anshul Kamboj for telling his captain exactly what he'd do at the death. One half of CSK has a plan. The other half is sleepwalking through the middle overs.
Rahul Turns 34, Turns Up at Chinnaswamy, Turns RCB Inside Out — Again
KL Rahul celebrated his birthday by smashing a 29-ball fifty to rescue Delhi Capitals from 18/3 at his hometown ground. With 839 runs at an average of 69.91 against RCB — the best any batter has against any opposition in IPL history — this wasn't a surprise. It was an appointment.
Bhogle Tells Dhoni: No 10-Ball Cameos When You're Stealing a Bowler's Spot

Cummins' ₹18-Crore Gamble: Skip Half the IPL, Still Win the Final
Pat Cummins just landed in India after nine months nursing a broken back. He won't play tonight, or next week. But he told SRH fans exactly what they wanted to hear: 'I'll play the back half, plus the final.' That's either elite workload management or elite delusion.
Finch to KKR: Drop Your ₹25 Crore Man — Price Tags Don't Win Games
Aaron Finch wants Tim Seifert in, Cameron Green out. Simon Doull calls Green 'zero value.' Green says he'll bowl four overs soon. KKR are winless in five and running out of time.
Pandya Says 'Difficult Calls' Coming — Is SKY's MI Spot in Danger?
Suryakumar Yadav bagged a golden duck at Wankhede as PBKS chased down 196 in 16.3 overs. Hardik Pandya's post-match admission was the sound of a captain running out of patience — and a dressing room running out of excuses.
Chinnaswamy's DJ Mocked an Injured Pant. Two Franchises Want Answers.
First it was the 'Dosa Idli' song aimed at CSK. Then came the 'FAAAHHH' chant while Pant clutched his elbow in agony. RCB's stadium DJ has turned the Chinnaswamy into a content factory — and two IPL franchises have had enough.
Pant Walked Off in Tears. He Came Back Bandaged. It Lasted Four Balls.

Kohli Benched for First Time in Nine Years — Then Walked In and Won the Game

Faf Tells MI to Stop Hiding Behind Bumrah — Rohit's Hamstring Makes It Worse

'Stick to Cricket' — Solanki's Live TV Snub of Bhogle Splits the Internet
Gujarat Titans' director of cricket turned a harmless birthday compliment into the most awkward on-air moment of IPL 2026. Harsha Bhogle kept his composure. The internet didn't.
₹30 Lakh Kid, McGrath's Blueprint, Triple-Wicket First Over — Hinge Rewrites IPL History

Jaffer Tells Gaikwad to Ditch 'Tunnel Vision' — CSK's Captain Is a Passenger
Five innings. 63 runs. A 38% dot-ball rate. CSK have won two straight, but their skipper hasn't crossed 30 once. Wasim Jaffer and Aaron Finch are publicly telling him to change his game — and Gaikwad insists a 'big knock is around the corner.'
Moody's Power Play: Mayank 'Ready to Go', Shami 'World-Class', and a 150kph Welcome for Kohli
Tom Moody's pre-match presser was a masterclass in quiet menace. LSG are loading the cannon at Chinnaswamy — and RCB's biggest weapon might be nursing an ankle.
Krunal Bowled His Brother a Bouncer. Then Celebrated Like He Meant It.
A surprise short ball, an aggressive fist-pump, zero post-match acknowledgment — the Pandya brothers' cold war spilled onto the Wankhede on April 12. This isn't speculation anymore.

A 15-Year-Old Just Told Bumrah and Hazlewood He Doesn't Care Who They Are
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's 26-ball 78 against RCB wasn't a fluke. It was a philosophy. 'I look at the ball, not the bowler.' At 200 runs and counting, IPL 2026's Orange Cap holder means every word.

250 on the Board and Nobody on CSK's Side Thought to Change the Plan
Ambati Rayudu watched CSK concede 159 runs in the last 10 overs against RCB and had one question: who was supposed to intervene? The answer, apparently, is nobody.
