Australian rookie Cooper Connolly has announced himself on the IPL stage, with his dream debut resulting in a narrow three-wicket win for the hosts Punjab Kings over the Gujarat Titans in New Chandigarh on Tuesday (Mar 31). The left-hander remained unbeaten on 72, helping Kings chase 163 with five balls remaining. Last edition’s runners-up made a sound start to this new campaign by beating the former one-time winner, collecting two crucial points. While he also picked up a catch, seamer Vijaykumar Vyshak was the top wicket-taker for Punjab, returning with three for 34 in his four overs.&nbsp;Punjab won the toss and elected to field first. A steady opening stand between GT captain Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan added 37 runs before Marco Jansen accounted for the left-handed Sai. Gill and Jos Buttler lifted GT’s innings but could only manage 46 for the second wicket.

Jasprit Bumrah is cricket and IPL’s ‘Dhurandhar’, and his franchise owner and teammates cannot stop themselves from reminding him and everyone of the same. Bumrah is perhaps the best fast bowler of his time. Having won two T20 World Cups lately, Bumrah is back with his IPL team to help them end their trophy drought. Following Mumbai’s six-wicket win over Kolkata in their season opener at home the past Sunday, MI owner Nita Ambani presented the ‘best bowler’ accolade to Bumrah in the dressing room, with star batter Suryakumar Yadav making a remark from the recently released Bollywood blockbuster ‘Dhurandhar – The Revenge’.&nbsp;Uploaded on the Mumbai Indians’ official X handle, this viral clip saw SKY saying ‘Tujhe ghar ki yaad nahin aayi Jassi’, which translates to ‘Didn’t you miss home, Jassi?’, referring to a famous dialogue from Dhurandhar – The Revenge, with everyone bursting out laughing. &nbsp;WATCH VIDEO –

Bumrah, who came into the attack as the first-change bowler in Mumbai’s tournament opener, conceded just 35 runs in his four-over spell at 8.80 economy, the least among all bowlers. Although the ace quick restricted the run flow (but went wicketless), KKR posted a superb total (220 for four) in the first innings. &nbsp;Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton made light work of KKR’s bowling by smashing close to 150 runs inside the 12 overs for the first wicket. That partnership, however, was the turning point, as the Mumbai Indians, despite losing both openers and two more wickets, chased the target with six wickets and five balls remaining.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/mohammed-shami-blasts-retirement-rumours-after-repeated-snubs-ajit-agarkar-selection-committee-indian-cricket-team-ipl-2026-lucknow-super-giants-lsg-1774968653436">‘I’m neither bored nor lazy’: Mohammed Shami blasts retirement rumours after repeated snubs</a> &nbsp;This win also marked the first instance in 14 years (since the 2012 edition) that Mumbai won its first match of an IPL season, ending the 13-year first-game losing jinx. &nbsp;Speaking of contributing to this special moment, Bumrah said, “It feels really special (winning the first game of the season for the first time in 14 years). &nbsp;“Great positive attitude (dressing room), (and) the calm in this team is really special. It feels like a special season is on its way. So, let’s build on this momentum and hopefully, get more wins," Bumrah concluded. &nbsp;Meanwhile, Mumbai's next game is an away clash against Delhi Capitals (DC) on Saturday (Apr 4), an afternoon clash at the Arun Jaitely Stadium.

In a massive development surrounding Iran’s participation at the forthcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 in North America, Gianni Infantino, the apex body’s president, confirmed the war-ridden country’s involvement amid raging conflict with the tournament’s co-hosts, the US and Israel, in West Asia.

Pakistan batter Fakhar Zaman has been suspended for two matches after being found guilty of ball-tampering during Pakistan Super League fixture between Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings at Gaddafi Stadium on Sunday. The left-handed batter was ruled to have violated Article 2.14 of the Pakistan Cricket Board Code of Conduct, which addresses illegal alteration of the ball under Clause 41.3 of PSL playing conditions. The charge was brought forward by on-field umpires Faisal Khan Aafreedi and Sharfuddoula Saikat, along with TV umpire Asif Yaqoob and fourth umpire Tariq Rasheed.&nbsp;Fakhar rejected the accusation and opted for a full disciplinary hearing conducted in accordance with the Code of Conduct.

Pakistan batter Fakhar Zaman has been suspended for two matches after being found guilty of ball-tampering during Pakistan Super League fixture between Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings at Gaddafi Stadium on Sunday. The left-handed batter was ruled to have violated Article 2.14 of the Pakistan Cricket Board Code of Conduct, which addresses illegal alteration of the ball under Clause 41.3 of PSL playing conditions. The charge was brought forward by on-field umpires Faisal Khan Aafreedi and Sharfuddoula Saikat, along with TV umpire Asif Yaqoob and fourth umpire Tariq Rasheed. Fakhar rejected the accusation and opted for a full disciplinary hearing conducted in accordance with the Code of Conduct. The proceedings were overseen by match referee Roshan Mahanama, who delivered the decision after reviewing the evidence and hearing Fakhar’s defence.

Ravindra Jadeja found himself in a unique position after featuring for Rajasthan Royals, a franchise for which he made his IPL debut in 2008 and lifted his maiden title, against Chennai Super Kings, the team with whom he has tasted the most success, having spent over a dozen years playing for, in game three of IPL 2026 in Guwahati.

However, it was how he thanked his former IPL team that won hearts and made headlines.&nbsp;On his 'second debut' for the Royals, Jadeja picked up two wickets in the first innings, removing Sarfaraz Khan and Shivam Dube in his first over to push CSK's back against the wall, eventually reducing the travelling team to 127 inside 20 overs. His twin blow was enough to restrict the injury-hit CSK batting unit to surrender on an under-par score in their first game of the season. &nbsp;Rajasthan chased the target with eight wickets remaining, with their 15-year-old opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashing a 15-ball fifty, the second quickest for the Royals.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made a brilliant start to his IPL 2026 campaign by scoring a stunning half-century in just 15 balls against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Barsapara Stadium on Monday (Mar 30).

Rajasthan Royals' (RR) star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja admitted that leaving Chennai Super Kings (CSK) after a long and successful stint was an emotional moment, but he understands that such changes are part of a player’s career. He added that he is happy to be back with Rajasthan Royals, the team where he started his IPL journey and is approaching this new phase with a positive mindset. Jadeja also mentioned that he wants to keep learning while sharing his experience with the squad.&nbsp;&nbsp;The 37-year-old was part of Rajasthan’s title-winning team in 2008 and later became an important player for Chennai after joining them in 2012.&nbsp;"I'm liking the pink colour. The yellow had started to feel a bit old, but I'm just joking. Obviously, leaving a franchise like CSK, where I had played for 12-13 years, was a little difficult initially. It was very emotional.

'Very emotional': Ravindra Jadeja breaks silence on CSK exit

India's teenage prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who turned 15 a couple days ahead of the start of IPL 2026, has begun the season with a bang. Playing for Rajasthan Royals, Sooryvanshi hit 15-ball 50, third fastest in the IPL history, in his 17-ball 52 runs innings to help his team beat Chennai Super Kings. RR won the match by eight wickets against five-time winners CSK on Monday (Mar 30) in Guwahati. Sooryavanshi's innings sparked the question of him making his international debut India once again. The teenager, ever since making his debut at 14 in IPL 2025, has been climbing up faster than anyone would have thought, making him hard to ingore for international debut, but is he ready for play for India senior side?<h2>Is Vaibhav Sooryavanshi eligible for Team India?</h2>Looking him bat in RR vs CSK, Ambati Rayudu, former India international, while speaking on ESPNCricinfo Time Out, said: "He looks a cut above a lot of youngsters in the country, and he's a talent that will definitely do wonders for Indian cricket. I don't know when, but definitely in the future."India's WC winning spinner Piyush Chawla also opined on the same at the same show and said: "If he plays like that, would love to see him fast-tracked. Over the last year, in Under-19, domestic... whatever he has played, he went there and he scored hundreds. And it's not only hundreds, he scored big hundreds."<h2>Will Sooryavanshi play 2027 ODI World Cup?</h2>The next ICC white-ball event is going to be the 2027 ODI World Cup and there are questions about Sooryvanshi's inclusion in the team. He most recently scored 439 runs in the U-19 ODI World Cup during India's title-winning campaign.Rayudu, speaking on which format Sooryavanshi would make his debut in first, said: "I think definitely the T20 format [for his maiden call-up]. If he has a very good IPL and if he shows that he has the ability to keep calm under pressure... because, don't forget, our Indian team is a world champion team. It's won the T20 World Cup. So to replace somebody in that side is not easy."

India star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja recently spoke about his viral celebration following the dismissal of Shivam Dube during the IPL 2026 match between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals at Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati. The moment came in the eighth over of CSK’s innings, when Jadeja claimed a crucial wicket as Dube attempted a straight hit but mistimed his shot and was caught by Ravi Bishnoi at long-off. After the breakthrough, Jadeja celebrated by lifting his left arm and mimicking a gunshot gesture, even adding a “boom” sound for the effect.&nbsp;Explaining the move, Jadeja said it wasn’t new, it was something he had done during his earlier stint with CSK and chose to carry forward with Rajasthan. He mentioned that continuing the celebration felt natural, regardless of the team he represents.&nbsp;“I used to do this celebration when I played for CSK, so I thought, why not continue with it here as well,” Jadeja told JioHotstar.&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/football-world-cup-2026-messi-set-to-play-for-argentina-he-ll-definitely-start-in-friendly-against-zambia-1774926795646">Football World Cup 2026 | Argentina's Messi to start against Zambia in FIFA friendly</a>

Jadeja also reflected on his transition from Chennai to Rajasthan, calling it an emotional shift after spending over a decade with CSK. He had been part of the franchise from 2012 to 2025 before returning to Rajasthan ahead of the 2026 season in a trade that involved Sanju Samson moving the other way.&nbsp;“At first, it was a little difficult because I had played for CSK for around 12–13 years, so it was naturally an emotional time. But then I thought that this too is a part of the journey. And the good thing is that I am going back to the team with which I won my first IPL title."&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/bangladesh-fans-miss-ipl-2026-as-jiostar-cancels-broadcast-deal-1774872243153">Bangladesh fans miss IPL 2026 as JioStar cancels broadcast deal</a>&nbsp;“So for me, those memories were always special - after the Under-19 phase, that was where I began my IPL journey, and in my very first year, we won the IPL title. That memory has always stayed with me,” Jadeja said.&nbsp;“With those memories, and with a positive mindset, I felt good about going there. I knew I would get to learn new things with a new group, and I would also be able to share my experience with the people there,” Jadeja added.&nbsp;In the match, Jadeja played well and took two wickets, including Dube and Sarfaraz Khan. Rajasthan bowled out CSK for 127 and then easily chased the target with 47 balls left.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has rejected ‘hacked’ (social media account) claims over a now-deleted tweet by Naseem Shah, aimed to criticise Punjab’s chief minister, Maryam Nawaz, with the cricket board slapping the pacer with the largest fine imposed on anyone in the country's cricket history. The PCB fined Naseem Shah PKR 20 million (approx. $72,000), two days after sending him a showcase notice over his actions.&nbsp;Shah, featuring for Rawalpindiz, one of the two new teams inducted into PSL from this season onwards, appeared to have taken a dig at Nawaz ahead of the tournament opener last Friday. Last week, PCB boss Mohsin Naqvi announced that PSL 2026 will be played without spectators in the wake of Pakistan’s need to reserve fuel amid Strait of Hormuz closure and the ongoing West Asia conflict.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/bangladesh-fans-miss-ipl-2026-as-jiostar-cancels-broadcast-deal-1774872243153">Bangladesh fans miss IPL 2026 as JioStar cancels broadcast deal</a>&nbsp;Regardless, several dignitaries were present at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore for the PSL 2026 opener, including Nawaz, the daughter of former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and niece of the current PM Shahbaz Sharif. Maryam Nawaz met players from both teams.&nbsp;However, a now-deleted tweet from Naseem’s account read, "Why is she treated like the Queen at Lord's?" Minutes later, the post was taken down and replaced with another post reading that his account was hacked, and has now been recovered by him.Meanwhile, a PCB statement said a three-member disciplinary committee held a hearing today, where Naseem apologised for the actions and sacked his social media manager. The PCB also stated that the same manager is now blacklisted by the board, restricting him from associating with any other player.&nbsp;Meanwhile, fast bowler Naseem Shah was the most-expensive player at the PSL auction earlier this year, going for PKR 86.50 million (approx. $310,000), with Rawalpindiz bagging his services.

The PCB has slapped Naseem Shah with a record-breaking PKR 20 million fine after rejecting his "hacked account" defense regarding a controversial tweet about Maryam Nawaz. Read the full details of the disciplinary hearing, the blacklisting of his social media manager.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has rejected ‘hacked’ (social media account) claims over a now-deleted tweet by Naseem Shah, aimed to criticise Punjab’s chief minister, Maryam Nawaz, with the cricket board slapping the pacer with the largest fine imposed on anyone in the country's cricket history. The PCB fined Naseem Shah PKR 20 million (approx. $72,000), two days after sending him a showcase notice over his actions. Shah, featuring for Rawalpindiz, one of the two new teams inducted into PSL from this season onwards, appeared to have taken a dig at Nawaz ahead of the tournament opener last Friday. Last week, PCB boss Mohsin Naqvi announced that PSL 2026 will be played without spectators in the wake of Pakistan’s need to reserve fuel amid Strait of Hormuz closure and the ongoing West Asia conflict.

Maryam Nawaz met players from both teams. However, a now-deleted tweet from Naseem’s account read, "Why is she treated like the Queen at Lord's?" Minutes later, the post was taken down and replaced with another post reading that his account was hacked, and has now been recovered by him. Meanwhile, a PCB statement said a three-member disciplinary committee held a hearing today, where Naseem apologised for the actions and sacked his social media manager. The PCB also stated that the same manager is now blacklisted by the board, restricting him from associating with any other player.

Ravindra Jadeja shone on his Rajasthan Royals debut as the hosts crushed the former five-time champions by eight wickets in their IPL 2026 opener on Monday (Mar 30) in Guwahati. While Jadeja’s debut made headlines for the right reasons, as he returned with two wickets for 18 runs in three overs, Sanju Samson’s was a shallow one. Opening with team captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, Samson failed on his CSK debut, scoring just six before a banger of a delivery from Nandre Burger sent him packing.&nbsp;Rajasthan captain Riyan Parag won the toss and elected to field first, considering the rain threat. Although that did not happen, what happened was RR’s mauling of CSK, who were without several first-team players for the opener, including MS Dhoni.&nbsp; &nbsp;Batting first, CSK had the new opening pair in Gaikwad and Samson, but both failed to get going. The overseas seam pair of Jofra Archer and Burger accounted for CSK’s top-three, reducing them 19 for three at one stage, and 38 for four inside the Powerplay. &nbsp;Came in Jadeja, once CSK’s greatest match-winner, against his former team, and rocked them with twin strikes in his first over, dismissing CSK’s Impact Player Sarfaraz Khan and Shivam Dube.&nbsp;

Debutant Karthik Sharma scored 18 off 15 balls, but the saviour was all-rounder Jamie Overton (43 from 36 balls), who fought till the end to help CSK post a fighting total (127 inside 20 overs).<h2>No stopping Suryavanshi, RR</h2>The 15-year-old batting prodigy, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, was on song from ball one, smashing a 15-ball fifty, fastest for this season thus far, and the second-quickest overall for the Royals in IPL. His blistering knock stitched a 75-run stand for the first wicket with Yashasvi Jaiswal before Anshul Kamboj broke the stand.

A record-breaking 17-time WWE champion, Cena became a Hollywood star over the last decade, and after hanging up his WWE boots, returned to completing his pending projects. &nbsp;Meanwhile, his social media post read, “Since retirement, my “road” has looked a little different… but now I can officially say I’m headed to WrestleMania!!!!

Two former IPL champions, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), will face off in game three of IPL 2026 in Guwahati on Monday (Mar 30). With no MS Dhoni available for selection for the franchise’s season opener, all eyes will be on CSK debutant Sanju Samson, who faces his ex-IPL team; however, rain could affect Monday’s fixture as the Guwahati weather forecast suggests showers during the match time. While the Barsapara Stadium would welcome its home team’s former hero Samson, the fans and players could be made to wait for any action later on Monday.&nbsp;Sanju was part of the blockbuster trade ahead of IPL 2026, which saw him switch sides, with Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran returning to the Royals. Sanju’s move to CSK bolsters their batting attack, with the team captain, Ruturaj Gaikwad, confirming him as his opening partner for the season.&nbsp;&nbsp;While it’s an almost homecoming for Samson, so would be for Jadeja, who will turn up against Chennai, a franchise he won three IPL titles with (2018, 2021 and 2023). In the 2023 final against the defending champions, the Gujarat Titans (GT), it was Jadeja who hit the winning runs, smashing four off the final delivery to help his team win the famous tie.<h3>No Dhoni in Guwahati</h3>The injury crisis has hit the CSK camp hard, with three of their first-team players missing their tournament opener. While their former captain and team veteran MS Dhoni will be away till at least the end of April after suffering a calf strain in training, CSK’s overseas batter Dewald Brevis will also be out for the away Rajasthan fixture due to a side strain.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/injury-crises-hit-csk-camp-as-dewald-brevis-latest-to-miss-ipl-2026-with-injury-report-ms-dhoni-calf-strain-csk-injury-list-1774795384443">Injury crises hit CSK camp as Dewald Brevis latest to miss IPL 2026 with injury – Report</a>&nbsp;As a result, the two haven’t travelled with the franchise to Guwahati, with Dhoni staying back in Chennai for the rehab.

While the Barsapara Stadium would welcome its home team’s former hero Samson, the fans and players could be made to wait for any action later on Monday. Sanju was part of the blockbuster trade ahead of IPL 2026, which saw him switch sides, with Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran returning to the Royals. Sanju’s move to CSK bolsters their batting attack, with the team captain, Ruturaj Gaikwad, confirming him as his opening partner for the season. While it’s an almost homecoming for Samson, so would be for Jadeja, who will turn up against Chennai, a franchise he won three IPL titles with (2018, 2021 and 2023). In the 2023 final against the defending champions, the Gujarat Titans (GT), it was Jadeja who hit the winning runs, smashing four off the final delivery to help his team win the famous tie. No Dhoni in Guwahati The injury crisis has hit the CSK camp hard, with three of their first-team players missing their tournament opener. While their former captain and team veteran MS Dhoni will be away till at least the end of April after suffering a calf strain in training, CSK’s overseas batter Dewald Brevis will also be out for the away Rajasthan fixture due to a side strain.

Although the team’s official statement suggested that MS could miss all action for the first two weeks, the latest report claims that Dhoni would be on the sidelines for an extended period, potentially missing the first six matches, including the marquee away game against the Mumbai Indians (MI) on April 23.

Former Indian captain Anil Kumble praised Rohit Sharma for his brilliant half-century against Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2026 Match 2 at the Wankhede Stadium, calling it the return of a more commanding “2.0” version of the Mumbai Indians star.
