Vaibhav Sooryavanshi produced another batting masterclass in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2026) on Friday (April 10) as Rajasthan Royals beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by six wickets. Playing at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, Sooryavanshi’s 78 off 26 and Dhruv Jurel’s unbeaten 81 saw RR end RCB’s unbeaten run. On the other hand, RR’s win saw them sit comfortably at the top of the standings with four wins in four matches.<h2>Sooryavanshi wreaks havoc</h2>Sooryavanshi raced to his half-century from just 15 deliveries, hammering eight fours and seven towering sixes during his 26-ball 78. He also hit a 15-ball fifty in the Royals' opener against Chennai Super Kings.&nbsp;The teen prodigy found an able ally in Dhruv Jurel, helping Rajasthan make light work of Bengaluru's competitive 201/8.

<h2>Rohit celebrates 15 years at Mumbai Indians</h2>So far, Rohit has played in 230 IPL matches for the franchise, scoring 5994 runs while scoring two centuries. However, his most significant contribution lies with the captaincy as he helped Mumbai win five titles – 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020.

Rohit Sharma and his love for the Mumbai Indians have become one of the stories in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as he continues to carry the flag for the five-time winners. On Friday (April 10), Rohit marks a significant milestone as he completes 15 years with the franchise. It was on this day in 2011 that the legendary IPL player made his debut for the Mumbai Indians and has since rewritten record books.

IPL 2026: Rohit Sharma completes 15 years at Mumbai Indians as franchise pays special tribute

Star Pakistan batter Babar Azam etched his name into the record books on Thursday (Apr 9) by becoming the quickest player to reach 12,000 runs in T20 cricket. He achieved the milestone in his 338th innings during his 351st T20 appearance in Karachi, surpassing the previous record held by Chris Gayle. The former West Indies opener, who remains the all-time leading run-scorer in T20s, had taken 343 innings to reach the same landmark, while India’s Virat Kohli sits third on the list, having done so in 360 innings.<h2>Fastest to 12,000 T20 runs (by innings)</h2><ul><li>Babar Azam (Pakistan) - 338 innings</li><li>Chris Gayle (West Indies) - &nbsp;343 innings</li><li>Virat Kohli (India) - 360 innings</li></ul>Also Reads - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ayush-badoni-joins-kl-rahul-nicholas-pooran-in-elite-list-becomes-third-lsg-player-to-achieve-this-milestone-1775806736648">Badoni enters elite LSG list with Rahul, Pooran; third to reach this milestone</a>&nbsp;In the Pakistan Super League 2026 clash between Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings, Babar needed just 13 runs to hit the milestone and he got there comfortably in the fourth over of the innings.

The IPL 2026 match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) vs Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Thursday (Apr 9) was one to remember but there was a controversy as well. Batting first, KKR scored 181/4 thanks to Ajinkya Rahane (24-ball 41), Angkrish Raghuvanshi (33-ball 45), Cameron Green (24-ball 32 not out), and Rovman Powell (24-ball 39 unbeaten). KKR's score might have been better at least by six runs if Finn Allen's caught out dismissal was properly checked. Allen was caught out on boundary in the second over by Digvesh Rathi off Prince Yada but not without the drama. Upon replays, it was seen that the boundary cushion moved ever so slightly, making the out decision a dubious call.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ipl-2026-bat-speed-develops-lsg-s-inr-2-6-crore-buy-mukul-choudhary-reveals-how-he-scored-54-not-out-off-27-vs-kkr-1775800332834">IPL 2026 | LSG's INR 2.6 crore buy Mukul Choudhary reveals how he scored 54 not out off 27 vs KKR</a><h2>Was Finn Allen not out - KKR reacts to controversial dismissal</h2>Allen, batting on 9 runs, tried to hit the ball from Prince towards square leg region but the ball took the outside edge of his bat and flew towards the third man area. Rathi, manning the area, held onto a brilliant catch or so it looked until replayed showed the the boundary cushion may have been touched. Allen, nonetheless, was given out and KKR's Rovman Powell was not amused as he shared the thoughts in post-match press conference. Have a look at the video below:

Definitely (more angles should have been looked at). We talked about that when he came off. We thought we had seen in the IPL that the umpires have gone upstairs for lesser things, and that are not as close as that. Maybe it was a blunder on their part, but we're not going to look into that and say that is what cost us two points tonight," Powell said.<h2>Mukul snatches win from KKR</h2>Despite all the drama, KKR were on the verge of winning after reducing LSG to 128/7 in 16 overs in a chase of 182. LSG's Mukul Choudhary, however, took it upon himself to turn the tables. The batter scored unbeaten 54 off 27 balls including 52 off his last 19 balls to take his team home on the last ball of a proper humdinger of the match.

Allen tried to hit the ball from Prince towards square leg region but the ball took the outside edge of his bat and flew towards the third man area. Rathi, manning the area, held onto a brilliant catch or so it looked until replayed showed the the boundary cushion may have been touched.

The IPL 2026 match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) vs Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Thursday (Apr 9) was one to remember but there was a controversy as well. Batting first, KKR scored 181/4 thanks to Ajinkya Rahane (24-ball 41), Angkrish Raghuvanshi (33-ball 45), Cameron Green (24-ball 32 not out), and Rovman Powell (24-ball 39 unbeaten). KKR's score might have been better at least by six runs if Finn Allen's caught out dismissal was properly checked. Allen was caught out on boundary in the second over by Digvesh Rathi off Prince Yada but not without the drama. Upon replays, it was seen that the boundary cushion moved ever so slightly, making the out decision a dubious call.

IPL 2026: LSG's Mukul Choudhary reflects on cricketing journey, says 'it was only my second match under the lights'

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have finally received word on their overseas buy, Wanindu Hasaranga, who has now been ruled out of the ongoing IPL 2026. Hasaranga suffered a left hamstring injury during Sri Lanka’s T20 World Cup opener against Ireland and has missed all action since. LSG’s director of cricket, Tom Moody, revealed midway through the away KKR tie, which the visitors famously won on the last ball, that Hasaranga is unlikely to link up with the team this season, as they now seek a replacement. "We are preparing for the fact that he isn't going to be able to join us," Moody said. “We are looking at replacements that should be announced in 24-48 hours.”&nbsp;Per earlier reports, Hasaranga decided against taking mandatory fitness tests under SLC’s observation, which is compulsory for a player to obtain the NOC from the cricket board.

After LSG bought him for a base price of INR 2 crore, Hasaranga failed to show up for the franchise after picking up a hamstring injury.

Who will replace Hasaranga? Tom Moody revealed that LSG will seek his replacement at the earliest, with South African spin-bowling all-rounder George Linde emerging as the top contender. While his last appearance was during the bilateral T20I series against New Zealand, where he returned with only one wicket in the four matches, Linde has quite an experience plying his trade in several franchise-based T20 leagues worldwide. Linde has been part of SA20, The Hundred, Major League Cricket, and even the PSL in the past 12 months, picking 218 wickets in 250 T20 matches at an economy of 7.42.

LSG bought Wanindu Hasaranga at the base price of INR 2 crore at last year's auction, but failed to avail his services due to an injury. The IPL franchise will announce Hasaranga's replacement within a maximum of two days.&nbsp;

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) had an unsung hero to thank on Thursday (April 9) as they defeated Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2026). Playing at the iconic Eden Gardens, it was Mukul Choudhary who was the hero of the hour with an unbeaten 54 runs as he helped LSG beat KKR by three wickets in a last-over thriller. The defeat for KKR also means they remain winless in the IPL 2026 and have only one point to their name.<h2>LSG heist win from KKR</h2>Chasing Kolkata’s competitive 181/4 at Eden Gardens, Lucknow were in all sorts of trouble at 128-7 after 16 overs when Choudhary, playing only his third IPL match, altered the script with a spectacular display of power hitting. The powerful right-hander blasted a bouquet of sixes in the last four overs to score 52 off his last 19 balls and leave the home team still searching for their first victory.&nbsp;Kolkata had recovered from a mid-innings slump after being put in, Rowman Powell providing the impetus with an unbeaten 39 during a 70-run alliance for the fifth wicket with Cameron Green. Lucknow began brightly through Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram, who put on 41. But once Vaibhav Arora dismissed both openers in the space of six deliveries in the fifth over, Kolkata applied relentless pressure.&nbsp;Arora was tasked with defending 14 in the final over, but Choudhary and Avesh Khan scrambled the winning bye with one needed off the last ball.&nbsp;ALSO READ | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/from-cameron-green-to-liam-livingstone-5-most-expensive-players-in-ipl-2026-auctions-matheesha-pathirana-kartik-sharma-prashant-veer-1774031148132">From Cameron Green to Liam Livingstone, 5 most expensive players in IPL 2026 auctions</a><h2>What happened in KKR innings?</h2>Kolkata lost Kiwi opener Finn Allen in the second over of the contest, caught at third man off Prince Yadav, and were shackled in the first four overs by Mohammed Shami's accuracy and swing, but once skipper Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi spent a little time in the middle, they began to find their range.&nbsp;The floodgates opened in the sixth over when Raghuvanshi smacked Avesh for two fours and a six, and with Rahane opening his shoulders, runs came at a decent clip.

Former Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin cannot believe what happened on the last delivery during the Delhi Capitals’ recently concluded home game against the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026. With Delhi needing two from two balls with three wickets remaining and their batter-in-form David Miller at the crease, there was no way they could have messed it; however, they did, losing the game by just one run. While most Delhi fans were deeply upset with the loss, their former star Ashwin was also fuming, saying it was bonkers to lose from that position.&nbsp;Miller was the centre of that whole episode, having denied (Kuldeep Yadav) a single off the penultimate delivery earlier, leaving Delhi with two to win from the last ball. Given the form he was in, which saw him smacking three sixes and four in the last two overs, including a massive 106m off Prasidh Krishna in the final one, Miller was confident about connecting and winning the match for his team. But that did not happen, as he missed the slower bouncer, with Jos Buttler behind the stumps, throwing it straight onto the wickets, resulting in Kuldeep Yadav’s run out.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ipl-2026-gujarat-titans-captain-shubman-gill-fined-inr-12-lakh-for-slow-over-rate-in-thriller-vs-delhi-capitals-1775735757327">IPL 2026: Gujarat captain Shubman Gill fined INR 12 lakh for slow over-rate in thriller vs Delhi</a> &nbsp;Rather surprised with the turn of events, Ravi Ashwin, while speaking on his YouTube channel, said, "I am thinking what could have happened to Kuldeep and David Miller.

‘It’s just bonkers’: Ravi Ashwin stunned by David Miller's refusal to take single in GT vs DC thriller

Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill is fined INR 12 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate against Delhi Capitals (DC) on Wednesday (Apr 8) in IPL 2026. This penalty came on the back of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ipl-2026-gujarat-titans-win-last-ball-thriller-delhi-capitals-despite-david-miller-kl-rahul-show-1775672187275">Gujarat’s one-run win over the hosts in an IPL classic</a>. &nbsp;The IPL confirmed the sanction, stating, “Gujarat Titans (GT) Captain Shubman Gill has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during Match No. 14 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.”&nbsp;The release further read, “As this was his team’s first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences, Gill was fined INR 12 lakh.”<h3>Gill on song for GT</h3>Gujarat Titans finally opened their account in IPL 2026 with a one-run win over the hosts, Delhi, and team captain Gill played a handy role in it. After being asked to bat first, Gujarat openers Gill and Sai Sudharsan added 19 for the first wicket before Gill stood his ground watching Jos Buttler score a fifty at the other end. He took charge following Buttler’s dismissal and notched up his half-century, with Washington Sundar also completing his in the meantime. &nbsp;The pair added 104 runs for the third wicket, propelling the team to a massive 210 for four in 20 overs. Gill was GT’s top scorer, smashing 70 off 45 balls, including five sixes and four fours.<h3>Delhi’s run chase</h3>KL Rahul starred with the bat for Delhi, whacking a brilliant 92 off 52 balls. However, the star of the evening for the home side was their overseas pick, David Miller, who almost pulled off a stunning run chase had it not been for miscalculating the last two deliveries. &nbsp;Miller was in his killer mode, hitting sixes for fun, three of which he hit in the last two overs, including a gigantic 106m in the last over off Prasidh Krishna. However, with DC needing two off two with three wickets remaining, Miller messed up the chase by first refusing the single on the penultimate ball and later failing to put the bat to the ball on the last delivery, which led to Kuldeep Yadav’s run out. &nbsp;As a result, Delhi lost the match by one run.&nbsp;

Despite a thrilling one-run win over Delhi Capitals, GT captain Shubman Gill has been hit with an INR 12 lakh fine for a slow over-rate. From Gill’s explosive 70 to David Miller’s final-ball heartbreak, get the full breakdown of this IPL 2026 classic.

This penalty came on the back of Gujarat’s one-run win over the hosts in an IPL classic. The IPL confirmed the sanction, stating, “Gujarat Titans (GT) Captain Shubman Gill has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during Match No. 14 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.” The release further read, “As this was his team’s first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences, Gill was fined INR 12 lakh.” Gill on song for GT Gujarat Titans finally opened their account in IPL 2026 with a one-run win over the hosts, Delhi, and team captain Gill played a handy role in it. After being asked to bat first, Gujarat openers Gill and Sai Sudharsan added 19 for the first wicket before Gill stood his ground watching Jos Buttler score a fifty at the other end. He took charge following Buttler’s dismissal and notched up his half-century, with Washington Sundar also completing his in the meantime. The pair added 104 runs for the third wicket, propelling the team to a massive 210 for four in 20 overs. Gill was GT’s top scorer, smashing 70 off 45 balls, including five sixes and four fours. Delhi’s run chase KL Rahul starred with the bat for Delhi, whacking a brilliant 92 off 52 balls. However, the star of the evening for the home side was their overseas pick, David Miller, who almost pulled off a stunning run chase had it not been for miscalculating the last two deliveries. Miller was in his killer mode, hitting sixes for fun, three of which he hit in the last two overs, including a gigantic 106m in the last over off Prasidh Krishna. However, with DC needing two off two with three wickets remaining, Miller messed up the chase by first refusing the single on the penultimate ball and later failing to put the bat to the ball on the last delivery, which led to Kuldeep Yadav’s run out. As a result, Delhi lost the match by one run.

Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan could miss the one-off Test against India in June in Mullanpur to prolong his white-ball career. Fresh from leading the Gujarat Titans to a famous one-run win over Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026 thriller, Rashid hinted at playing just one Test a year to manage his workload better. After suffering from an injury three years ago in 2023, Rashid played just one Test match (against Zimbabwe in early 2025), and while he could tick off his one-Test-per-year mantra against India this time, Rashid is likely to give it a miss.&nbsp;Reflecting on his conversation with a doctor over prolonging his white-ball career back then, Rashid revealed, "I bowled 67 [55] overs, which was crazy. &nbsp;“The doctor told me, like, 'if you don't want to play cricket, you keep playing the red-ball cricket' because it's not going to support you. You won't be [there] for longer to play for Afghanistan, and I still went, and I still played, and when he knew I bowled 67 [55] overs in one innings, in two innings, he was shocked. He was like, 'No, you can't do that to yourself.' I will think about that,” he continued. &nbsp;During 2023, when Rashid suffered from a back injury, he decided against getting under the knife (with the ODI World Cup looming), leading to him losing his sharpness as a bowler and suffering from severe pain. Three years later, Rashid has learned from his mistakes and wants to make the right decisions about prolonging his career in Afghanistan.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ipl-2026-he-was-feeling-it-ex-protea-steyn-explains-why-dc-s-miller-denied-costly-single-vs-gt-1775715328665">IPL 2026 | 'He was feeling it': Ex-Protea Steyn explains why DC's Miller denied costly single vs GT</a> &nbsp;"I've already played one before.

"And I'm in a good shape to play ODI for a longer period of time for Afghanistan, but just to be careful with how many I play and not to put too much load on myself, to be careful if I want to play for a longer period of time.

Last two Test matches, if you take, I bowled 167 [154.2] overs, which I think is too much,” Rashid concluded.&nbsp; &nbsp;Meanwhile, as far as his international numbers go, Rashid has played 115 T20Is, 117 ODIs and just six Tests, picking a total of 448 wickets so far.&nbsp;

IND vs AFG 2026: Rashid Khan likely to miss one-off Test to manage workload

Former South Africa player Dale Steyn has called out countryman David Miller for refusing to take a single that led to Delhi Capitals' loss vs Gujarat Titans (GT) in IPL 2026 on Wednesday (Apr 8).1 Needing two runs from two balls in chase of 211, DC were all but home when Miller denied Kuldeep Yadav an easy singles which could have tied the game with one ball still left. Instead, Miller took it upon himself to finish the game but failed to do so as GT won by one run on the last ball. Miller was down on his hunches after loss and was later consoled by DC coach Hemang Badani in the dressing room.<h2>Steyn says Miller 'too good a player to deny single'</h2>Speaking on ESPNCricinfo's TimeOut after the match, Steyn said: "You are reading Kuldeep's body language there (before single was denied), where he is telling Miller, 'Trust me, I've got this.' And you see that as he's hit it, he's taken off for the run, but then decided against it. He was backing himself. He just hit a 106-metre six, so he's in the zone.

David Miller's refusal to take a single on the penultimate ball to tie the game for Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans on Wednesday (Apr 8) will haunt him for sure. Leaving the job on himself, Miller failed to score two runs needed to win on the last ball as DC lost the match by one run - their first loss in three games played this season. GT skipper Shubman Gill, as soon as Miller denied the crucial single, thought 'we have a chance to win' and he was not wrong.
