Also read | Formula One: Verstappen on his way out of Red Bull? Lambiase exit rumour fuels speculation Less than a year on from winning the Premier League, Liverpool have endured a miserable campaign, marked by tragedy off the field. A close friend of Robertson's, forward Diogo Jota died in a car accident in July. On the field, Arne Slot has struggled to find the right balance from an expensively assembled squad that sits fifth in the Premier League. Liverpool were also dumped out of the FA Cup 4-0 by Manchester City last weekend and lost 2-0 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday. Robertson's rise was one of the success stories of Klopp's glorious reign at Anfield. Signed from relegated Hull for £8 million ($11 million) in 2017, he quickly became a fan favourite. He sits behind only former team-mate Trent Alexander Arnold as the defender with most assists in Premier League history. On top of Premier League and Champions League glory, Robertson won the FA Cup, two League Cups, the Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup. "I’m still fully focused on trying to end this season as positively as possible, to help these lads and to try to give a few more good moments to the fans," added Robertson.

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.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ipl-2026-lsg-unsung-hero-mukul-choudhary-floors-kkr-in-last-ball-thriller-as-barren-run-continues-for-hosts-1775756984730">IPL 2026: LSG unsung hero Mukul Choudhary floors KKR in last-ball thriller as barren run continues for hosts</a> &nbsp;While the former world number one T20I bowler represented the Rajasthan Royals (RR) last season, he played for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) from 2021 to 2023.&nbsp;<h3>Who will replace Hasaranga?</h3>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.

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.

Four-time Formula One champion Max Verstappen could be on his way out of Red Bull as the speculation is now gaining massive momentum with the rumoured exit of Gianpiero Lambiase as race engineer. On Thursday (April 9), media reports suggested that Lambiase is all but out of Red Bull with a switch to McLaren imminent. While nothing is concrete on Verstappen, the current season could be his last at Red Bull if all dots are connected.<h2>Verstappen on his way out of Red Bull?</h2>Lambiase will take up a position with Red Bull's rivals McLaren, the BBC, the UK Press Association and Sky Sports all reported.

With plenty of work to be done, the team has been dependent on some of the best players in the country while also keeping an eye on the rising stars.

IPL 2026: LSG rising star Naman Tiwari opens up on cricketing journey, says 'I idolise Trent Boult'

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 is bonkers.&nbsp; &nbsp;"Because if you want 4 runs or 6 runs, it was right. You need 2 runs. And what are the odds? You can take 1 run. Kuldeep will at least get into the bat. Or if he doesn't, you can run away. Even if Kuldeep gets bowled, in a 210-game, if you reach the Super Over, you have done well. I am not able to wrap my head around it," Ashwin added.<h3>Mistakes can happen, but what was that? Ashwin asks</h3>While Ashwin maintained his stance that anyone can make mistakes under pressure, he couldn’t fathom the logic behind Miller’s decision to refuse a single on the penultimate delivery, which, at best, could have tied the game even if Kuldeep failed to score a run on the last delivery.&nbsp; &nbsp;WATCH VIDEO -

"Mistakes can happen with anyone. Everybody can make a mistake. No doubt about it. I am sure David Miller is feeling absolutely gutted at this point in time. But I am not able to wrap my head around the thinking. What was the thinking? I don't know, man. Delhi has such a strong team. We talked about it. But still, I told you that Delhi might find a way to kick themselves out of the tournament. If you lose like this, you are doing two things," Ashwin said. &nbsp;"One, you have shaken the confidence of your team. And second, if a team like the Gujarat Titans lost today, they will come back from the tournament thinking about how they will reach from here. They will think. There will be a catch-22.

‘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.

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;

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. But especially, the red ball is something which looks a bit difficult for me to keep it. Yes, one Test in a year, I will take that. But I don't think so, more than that, I can play. I will try. I can play but [only] if I bowl a spell of 20-25 overs. But then I have to bowl the whole day if I'm in a team. 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

The Masters week has started with the traditional Par 3 contest which was won by Englishman Aaron Pai on Wednesday (Apr 8). The contest, however, saw much more drama including several holes-in-one shots. Among those who aced the holes were Wyndham Clark, Justin Thomas, Tommy Fleetwood, and Keegan Bradley. The nine-hole course is Wednesday tradition of the Augusta Masters dating back to 1960 when Sam Snead won the inaugural contest. Both, players competing in the tournament and former champions are invited to play the thrilling contest. No Par 3 contest winner, however, has ever won the Masters. Have a look at the holes-in-one shots at Par 3 contest:<h2>Justin Thomas aces second hole</h2>Justin Thomas, the 32-yer-old American, who has two PGA Championships to his name (2017 and 2022), started by acing the second hole 15 minutes into the contest. As soon as the ball went inside the hole, he was ecstatic and immediately made 'money' gestures towards Jordan Spieth and Max Homa with whom he had made an apparent friendly bet. Have a look at the shot:

<h2>Wyndham Clark aces hole no. 7</h2>Wyndham Clark, the 2023 US Open champ, aced at hole no. 7 from 109 yards for the contest's second hole-in-one. This is the first time the hole has been aced since Lucas Glover did it back in 2024. Have a look at the shot:

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.

IPL 2026 | 'He was feeling it': Ex-Protea Steyn explains why DC's Miller denied costly single vs GT

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. Prasidh Krishna bowled a slower bouncer on the last ball, which Miller failed to connect and GT eventually won the match by one run while DC skipper Axar Patel acknowledged the team ‘could have been smarter in chase.'<h2>Why Krishna bowled slower bouncer to Miller on last ball?</h2>Speaking after the match, Gill revealed they (GT) were thinking about bowling either a yorker or a slower bouncer, given the conditions. "We were just discussing whether to go for the yorker or to go for the slower one, we decided that given the wicket how it's playing, the slower one, a good slower one will be difficult to hit for a boundary," Gill said about choosing to bowl the slower bouncer.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ipl-2026-rahane-better-than-rohit-kishan-since-2023-here-s-what-numbers-tell-1775637188913">IPL 2026 | Rahane better than Rohit &amp; Kishan since 2023?

England's Aaron Rai birdied the last two holes to win Wednesday's Masters Par-Three Contest and risk the event's curse for the year's first major tournament. No Par-Three Contest winner has ever captured the green jacket in the same year."I'm not sure if it's a good omen or not, but just really nice to play well, enjoy it and share the experience with my family," Rai said. The 31-year-old from Wolverhampton grabbed the solo lead on five-under with his birdie at the eighth hole.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/augusta-masters-defending-champ-rory-mcilroy-aims-to-join-elite-company-with-back-to-back-green-jackets-1775615162787">Masters: Rory McIlroy aims to join elite company with consecutive green jackets</a>American Jacob Bridgeman birdied the ninth to match Rai at the top but the Englishman, whose wife Gaurika lined up his putts, sank a six-foot birdie putt at the ninth for the victory and winner's crystal bowl at six-under 21."The experience was phenomenal," Rai said. "Definitely didn't expect to play quite as well as I did. But my wife was incredible. She read my putts for me. She plays herself. So really good teamwork."In stark contrast to the tension-packed challenge of the year's first major at adjacent Augusta National, the Par-Three Contest offers a relaxing outing on a special course with children serving as caddies and often hitting shots to make for a family outing unlike any other."We're out here to have fun, just to enjoy one of the most fun events in golf," said defending champion Rory McIlroy, whose daughter Poppy had her own putter.World number one Scottie Scheffler, who welcomed son Remy on March 27, brought him and two-year-old son Bennett to the event."It's really nice," Scheffler said. "Major championships can be stressful as you prepare for them, and having an afternoon like this where you can come out and relax and have some fun with my family is really nice."The atmosphere was especially touching for Gary Woodland, whose victory at Houston two weeks ago was his first since the 2019 US Open and since undergoing 2023 brain surgery that left him fighting an anxiety disorder just to play."This is what the fight is for," Woodland said. "To share this moment with my kids is everything."<h2>Chance to relax</h2>Two-time US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau played with actor Kevin Hart as caddie."I'm super excited to have Kevin out here to experience everything Augusta has to offer," DeChambeau said.A big benefit is relaxing the minds of Masters contenders."We get so caught up in what we have to do it's nice to get our minds on something else," said five-time major winner Brooks Koepka."This helps a lot for sure, to do something so out of the ordinary, especially in a major," two-time major winner Jon Rahm said. "This lets you forget about things for a couple hours, have fun before the tournament starts."Aces in the Par-Three Contest are rewarded with crystal vases and four this year boosted the total to 115 aces in the event's history, which dates to 1960.Justin Thomas aced the 100-yard second hole, the first ace there since 2019. The American also made a hole-in-one at the fourth hole in 2016.England's Tommy Fleetwood aced the 90-yard fourth hole while American Wyndham Clark made a hole-in-one at the 115-yard seventh and Keegan Bradley, last year's US Ryder Cup captain, aced the 120-yard eighth hole.

"The experience was phenomenal," Rai said. "Definitely didn't expect to play quite as well as I did. But my wife was incredible. She read my putts for me. She plays herself. So really good teamwork." In stark contrast to the tension-packed challenge of the year's first major at adjacent Augusta National, the Par-Three Contest offers a relaxing outing on a special course with children serving as caddies and often hitting shots to make for a family outing unlike any other. "We're out here to have fun, just to enjoy one of the most fun events in golf," said defending champion Rory McIlroy, whose daughter Poppy had her own putter. World number one Scottie Scheffler, who welcomed son Remy on March 27, brought him and two-year-old son Bennett to the event. "It's really nice," Scheffler said. "Major championships can be stressful as you prepare for them, and having an afternoon like this where you can come out and relax and have some fun with my family is really nice." The atmosphere was especially touching for Gary Woodland, whose victory at Houston two weeks ago was his first since the 2019 US Open and since undergoing 2023 brain surgery that left him fighting an anxiety disorder just to play. "This is what the fight is for," Woodland said. "To share this moment with my kids is everything." Chance to relax Two-time US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau played with actor Kevin Hart as caddie. "I'm super excited to have Kevin out here to experience everything Augusta has to offer," DeChambeau said. A big benefit is relaxing the minds of Masters contenders. "We get so caught up in what we have to do it's nice to get our minds on something else," said five-time major winner Brooks Koepka. "This helps a lot for sure, to do something so out of the ordinary, especially in a major," two-time major winner Jon Rahm said. "This lets you forget about things for a couple hours, have fun before the tournament starts." Aces in the Par-Three Contest are rewarded with crystal vases and four this year boosted the total to 115 aces in the event's history, which dates to 1960. Justin Thomas aced the 100-yard second hole, the first ace there since 2019. The American also made a hole-in-one at the fourth hole in 2016. England's Tommy Fleetwood aced the 90-yard fourth hole while American Wyndham Clark made a hole-in-one at the 115-yard seventh and Keegan Bradley, last year's US Ryder Cup captain, aced the 120-yard eighth hole.

No Par-Three Contest winner has ever captured the green jacket in the same year. The 31-year-old from Wolverhampton grabbed the solo lead on five-under with his birdie at the eighth hole.

Gujarat Titans (GT) have finally opened their account in IPL 2026 with a nervy one-run win over Delhi Capitals (DC) on Wednesday (Apr 8). With the hosts in touching distance of a famous win, led by David Miller’s late blitz, a miscalculation by the IPL veteran cost his team the game. Jos Buttler was clinical with his throw that resulted in Kuldeep Yadav’s run-out and a sorry end to Delhi’s chances of winning three on the trot and attaining the top spot on the points table. For Delhi, opener KL Rahul smashed a brilliant 92 off 52 balls, but all went in vain in the end.&nbsp;It doesn’t get any better when two star-studded sides go head-to-head in a competition like the IPL. After being asked to bat first, the touring side lost Sai Sudharsan early inside the Powerplay. Captain Shubman Gill and Buttler stitched 60 runs for the second wicket, of which 52 belonged to the English keeper alone. After his dismissal, Gill and Washington Sundar added 104 for the third wicket, with the two completing their respective fifties.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ipl-2026-no-ms-dhoni-but-csk-ready-to-welcome-dewald-brevis-ahead-of-dc-clash-head-coach-stephen-fleming-hints-1775656596824">IPL 2026: No MS Dhoni but CSK ready to welcome Dewald Brevis ahead of DC clash, Fleming hints</a> &nbsp;While Lungi Ngidi accounted for Gill, who slammed 70 in 45 deliveries, including five sixes and four fours, Mukesh Kumar picked up his second of the evening in Sundar, with Gujarat finishing with 210 for four in the first innings.<h3>Delhi, so close, yet so far!</h3>Pathum Nissanka and KL Rahul put Delhi on track for a massive run chase. Oozing with the confidence following two successive wins earlier, DC looked like making it three in a row. But Rashid Khan had different plans.

KL continued his onslaught, with the wickets falling quickly at the other end. With Miller also back to the crease, joining hands with KL, it appeared like this pair could seal the deal for Delhi.&nbsp; &nbsp;Despite Rahul’s dismissal on 92, Miller kept DC in the run chase, smashing 23 off the penultimate over by Mohammed Siraj, including two massive sixes and a four. &nbsp;With 13 required off the last over, 11 came off the first four balls, leaving Delhi with two to win off as many deliveries. Looking poised for a famous win, Miller denied a single off the second-last ball, leaving DC with two to win from the last ball. Prasidh Krishna bowled a slower bouncer, which not only deceived Miller, who ran quickly for a run, but also resulted in Kuldeep Yadav’s run out, with Buttler hitting it straight onto the stumps.&nbsp;WATCH Last-Ball Drama -

SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) have made a slow start to the Indian Premier League (IPL 2026) season as they look to bounce back from early setbacks. With one win in three matches, SRH will be eager to make a statement as they face PBKS on Saturday (April 11). One of the reasons for the team’s slow start to the season is missing out on the absence of captain Pat Cummins, who recently returned to Australia due to a lumbar bone stress injury to his back.<h2>Klaasen opens up on Cummins</h2>Speaking to WION’s Aditya Pimpale, star batter Heinrich Klaasen opened up on Cummins, who remains a key member of the side. Despite arriving in India for the IPL 2026, the Australian captain had to return for scans and if all goes well, he will be back in India for the remainder of the IPL 2026 season. Klaasen highlighted Cummins’ importance in the side and why he remains a vital member of the SRH squad if they are to win their first IPL title in 10 years.&nbsp;ALSO READ | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/from-rohit-sharma-to-sanju-samson-5-highest-individual-score-in-a-lost-chase-in-ipl-yusuf-pathan-kl-rahul-shaun-marsh-ipl-2026-1774084136030">From Rohit Sharma to Sanju Samson, 5 highest individual scores in a lost chase in IPL</a>&nbsp;“Pat Cummins is a big miss, but we've got heaps of experience in the room as well. I think Ishan has been doing a great job for us, and the team really responds to him. Especially the Indian players. We're in safe hands, we're in good hands as well,” Klaasen spoke on JioStar Press Room ahead of IPL 2026 - Rivalry Week, starting from 12th to 18th April.&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>&nbsp;“On the other hand, Daniel Vettori has been incredible as well. So I don't think it's a big worry for us or a big concern to miss out on Cummins. Obviously, a guy with this experience and his leadership role is a big miss in any team,” Klaasen added.<h2>SRH to face PBKS on Saturday</h2>SRH are next in action on Saturday when they take on undefeated PBKS at the New Chandigarh Stadium. So far, SRH have endured a poor start, winning just one of three matches, losing to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Their sole win came against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), which was at the Eden Gardens. A win on Saturday will see them have two wins from four matches and settle in the mid-table.

Winless and languishing at the bottom of the table, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are facing their toughest start to an IPL season in years. Already without points and game changers in veteran MS Dhoni and Dewald Brevis, the former five-time champions find themselves in a tight spot. However, ahead of their next league match, a home game against Delhi Capitals (DC) on Saturday (Apr 11), they could receive a timely boost with Brevis’ return to the playing XI. Team head coach Stephen Fleming has signalled his potential comeback, having recovered from the side strain he suffered ahead of the tournament.&nbsp;While Brevis, like Dhoni, stayed back in Chennai to complete his rehab, Fleming hinted at his sooner-than-expected return to action as early as the April 11 game. Meanwhile, the wait for MS Dhoni continues, as the veteran remains sidelined with a calf strain.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/csk-vs-dc-ms-dhoni-dewald-brevis-near-full-fitness-as-chennai-super-kings-eye-first-win-of-ipl-2026-csk-ceo-head-coach-stephen-fleming-1775582028188">CSK vs DC: MS Dhoni, Brevis near full fitness as Chennai eye first win of IPL 2026</a>&nbsp;Even though CSK’s officials stated that MS could be out for two weeks, earlier reports suggested contrasting claims. Dhoni could be missing CSK’s matches at least until the last week of April, including the April 23 away game against the Mumbai Indians. That means he remains unavailable for selection for the Delhi game and the Kolkata tie that follows three days later on April 14.&nbsp; &nbsp;During a recent event in Chennai, where Brevis accompanied team captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and batting stars, including Shivam Dube and Aayush Mhatre, he shared a message for the fans, 'See you guys on the 11th… every match, everywhere we play.''&nbsp; &nbsp;Meanwhile, Fleming also hinted at his potential return, saying, “We hope he is going to be right for the next game. We have five days between now and the next game. We have been conservative, and hopefully, these next five days go as well as we have planned, and he is ready to go. It’s a big loss, but we are looking forward to getting him back.” &nbsp;CSK, as things stand, have lost their three contested matches against the Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
