IPL 2026: Here's all you need to know about GT vs SRH match no 56 timing, squad, H2H & more

Delhi Capitals handed a surprise opportunity to 21-year-old Madhav Tiwari for their high-pressure IPL 2026 encounter against Punjab Kings in Dharamsala on Monday (May 11) and the young all-rounder made an instant impact by dismissing the dangerous Priyansh Arya. With DC making five changes for the must-win fixture, Tiwari returned to the XI for his first outing of the season. Bowling his maiden over of IPL 2026, the pace-bowling youngster looked composed despite facing an in-form Arya.&nbsp;Tiwari began with a sharp bouncer that hurried the PBKS opener. Arya answered aggressively on the next ball, smashing it over extra cover for a boundary. However, the Delhi pacer responded brilliantly by delivering another short ball on a tighter line, he then forced Arya into a mistimed shot that flew towards deep cover, where Sahil Parakh completed a safe catch.&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/icc-men-s-odi-rankings-india-remain-top-ranked-side-after-annual-update-1778505788638">ICC Men’s ODI Rankings: India remain top-ranked side after annual update</a>&nbsp;The wicket was a memorable milestone for Tiwari, marking his first scalp in the IPL. It also provided Delhi Capitals with a crucial breakthrough, ending Arya’s explosive knock of 56 from just 33 deliveries, packed with two fours and six towering sixes.<h2>Who is Madhav Tiwari?</h2>Born on 28 Sep, 2003, in Mauganj village of Madhya Pradesh, Madhav Tiwari is considered one of the state’s promising fast-bowling all-round talents. Even without senior domestic experience, he earned recognition through strong performances in junior-level and franchise tournaments, eventually securing an IPL deal.&nbsp;Delhi Capitals signed him for INR 40 lakh at the IPL 2025 mega auction and retained him for the following season. He made his IPL debut in 2025 against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, where he scored three runs batting at no. 8 before being dismissed by Jasprit Bumrah. He did not bowl in that match.&nbsp;Tiwari has represented Madhya Pradesh at both U-19 and U-23 levels and also featured in the 2024-25 CK Nayudu Trophy. During the tournament, he impressed with two half-centuries, including a gritty 83 against Mumbai when his side was in deep trouble at 183/6 while following on.&nbsp;He also played for Bhopal Leopards in the Madhya Pradesh T20 League alongside Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Aniket Verma, with the team led by Gujarat Titans pacer Arshad Khan.&nbsp;Recognised for his pace and aggressive batting lower down the order, Tiwari enjoyed an excellent campaign in the league. He scored 108 runs in five innings at an impressive strike rate of 180, highlighted by a blistering 65 off just 31 balls in the semi-final against Rewa Jaguars, helping Bhopal Leopards secure a place in the final.&nbsp;Although he is yet to make his First-Class or List-A debut, Madhav Tiwari’s impressive breakthrough against Punjab Kings has quickly made him a player to watch for Delhi Capitals.

Following Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s dramatic two-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians, RCB all-rounder Krunal Pandya showered praise on veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, calling him “one of the finest bowlers India has ever produced.” Played on a challenging Raipur surface, the clash between the defending champions and five-time title winners turned into a nail-biting contest.

Virat Kohli addressed the Royal Challengers Bengaluru dressing room after their dramatic two-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2026 clash that went down to the final ball on Sunday (May 10). Despite being dismissed for a golden duck, Kohli applauded the team’s resilience and highlighted the contributions of players like Krunal Pandya and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.&nbsp;“Hey guys, I’m gonna keep it short. I’m gonna wrap it up tonight. Thanks, Andy (Flower), for giving me a chance to do something in the game today," Kohli jocked.&nbsp;“But guys, look, if you want to win multi-team competitions, we need a team. We need a game like that. We need to scrap for a win. We need to fight hard."&nbsp;“And we know the feeling in the group. We’re just talking about the game, how we started off, I think again. Bhuvi, brilliant in the Power Play Movie or your execution, your skills, you are absolutely world-class. I think it was a sixth three-wicket haul of the season, 11 games, which is crazy," kohli added.<h3>Watch the video below</h3>

Bhuvneshwar said: “The good thing is that whatever I’m doing or trying to do it, it’s happening. And I think it’s all about confidence. When you start IPL, you go through a couple of good matches, then your confidence goes up. And I think, yes, I don’t want to change it, but whatever I’m trying to do, it’s happening. It’s execution is spot on, getting wickets and, of course, getting help from fielders to catch those crucial touches. So yes, I mean things work out."&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/premier-league-watch-arsenal-vs-west-ham-var-decision-controversy-was-referee-right-to-disallow-goal-1778483073974">Premier League | Arsenal vs West Ham VAR decision controversy - Was referee right to disallow goal?</a>&nbsp;Kohli further praised the RCB bowlers, saying: “Shefi (Romario Shepherd), the way you bowl tonight, what stop notch and you showed us what you can do when you feel confident with the ball in hand and you can hit your areas. You have the skill, and we all back you to execute your skills every time. So well done on that."&nbsp;Speaking about the chase, Kohli admitted RCB did not begin well with the bat but admired how the middle order responded. He referenced earlier matches where players like Rajat Patidar and Tim David had rescued difficult situations and said the partnership between Krunal and Tim David was crucial in turning the game around.&nbsp;“I think it’s the best ideal knock. So far from what I’ve seen, we’ve played a lot of knocks under pressure, but I think tonight was special. We’re struggling with bouncing balls hitting you. You know, keeping low, bouncing up, but you never made an excuse. You just showed us how to grind, how to stay in there, find a solution, find a way. And even when you were cramping, those two sixes were actually the difference in the game, where you could have easily said, I can’t carry on, but, you know, you found the strength to carry on for the future. We can take a lot of inspiration from that," Kohli added.&nbsp;Bhuvneshwar also called Krunal’s innings “match-winning" and admired the way Krunal paced the chase, selected the right bowlers to attack and built partnerships smartly.&nbsp;&nbsp;“I think it was, it was amazing. It was match-winning, of course, the way he was cramping, but still getting things sixes, and more than anything, success. What was very nice to see is that he played the situation. He took few balls, he picked his bowlers, and of course, the way he betted with Bethel, the way they talked, we can literally sense from outside that they have some purpose. They bet it few hours, and then they went in the last few hours. So yes, it was amazing to see," he said.&nbsp;Looking ahead, Kohli turned the team’s focus to their next IPL fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders on May 13.&nbsp;&nbsp;“We had no right to lose five hours to go, we had no right to win, and then we ended up winning. So I think this wins gonna boost our confidence, and then we come back in what two days, three days time, and we hunt those two points again, on to the next one boys," he signed off.

They got off to a quick start, putting the bowlers under immediate pressure. Josh Inglis set the tone early by smashing 16 runs off the opening over, bowled by left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein. At the end of three overs, LSG raced to 40 without loss, with Inglis leading the charge in an aggressive batting display at the top of the order. The visitors crossed the 50-run mark in the fourth over of their innings, maintaining a blistering start. It was also their joint-fastest team fifty in IPL history. Their previous quickest half-century in just 3.4 overs also came against the Chennai Super Kings in 2023. During the second ball of the fifth over, Inglis completed his half-century in just 17 balls. Inglis' 17-ball fifty was also the third-fastest for Lucknow in IPL. 17 balls taken by Inglis also makes it the fastest ever IPL fifty at Chepauk. In the following over, CSK speedster Anshul Kamboj got the much-needed breakthrough after he removed opener Mitchell Marsh for just 10 runs. Kamboj also broke the 77-run partnership for the first wicket. After the end of the sixth over, Lucknow was 91/1. The momentum shifted further when Noor Ahmad struck early in the next over, dismissing Nicholas Pooran for just one run. LSG then suffered a major double blow as Jamie Overton removed the dangerous Josh Inglis, who had smashed a rapid 85 off 33 balls, and also accounted for skipper Rishabh Pant for 15. By the end of 10 overs, LSG had slipped to 117/4 after a dominant powerplay, as CSK clawed their way back into the contest. LSG's innings continued to unravel after a costly mix-up in the 13th over saw Aiden Markram run out for just six runs, further denting their momentum after their explosive opening stand. The pressure mounted as Jamie Overton struck again in the 15th over, dismissing struggling batter Akshat Raghuwanshi for 18 runs. At that stage, LSG had slipped to 147/6, having lost control after a blazing start and losing wickets at regular intervals. After the end of the 17th over, the visitors reached 167/6. Towards the end, Himmat Singh (17 off 12 balls) and Shahbaz Ahmed's unbeaten 43 off 25 balls helped LSG to post 203/8 in 20 overs. For CSK, Jamie Overton (3/36), Anshul Kamboj (2/47), and Noor Ahmad (1/24) were among the wicket takers. With this win, CSK plunged to fifth place with six wins in 11 matches. On the other hand, LSG remain at the bottom of the points table with six points in 11 matches.&nbsp;&nbsp;With inputs from agencies

Lucknow Super Giants have been eliminated from IPL 2026 after a five-wicket defeat to Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.

Urvil Patel produced one of the most explosive knocks in Indian Premier League history, equalling the tournament’s fastest fifty record as Chennai Super Kings cruised to a dominant five-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday (May 10). Pursuing a challenging 204-run target, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson started the chase aggressively, taking 11 runs off Mohammed Shami in the opening over before collecting another 15 from Prince Yadav in the next over. Spin was introduced early through Digvesh Singh Rathi, but Samson attacked immediately with a boundary and a six. The spinner, however, responded by clean bowling the wicketkeeper-batter later in the over. Samson’s quickfire 28 came off just 14 deliveries and included three fours and two maximums. Patel arrived at the crease and settled in with a single before launching a brutal counterattack. He hammered three successive sixes off Avesh Khan and continued the intent when Rathi returned, smashing him for four boundaries in a row, including three huge sixes.

Shahbaz Ahmed then got rid of Patel in the ninth over at the score of 65 runs. He played just 23 balls and hit eight sixes and a couple of fours. Gaikwad kept holding the fort from one end, and runs kept flowing for the CSK. He departed in the 13th over after making a crucial 42 off 28 balls. 39 runs were needed in the last five overs, and Rathi bowled a crucial 16th over, conceding just four runs and dismissed Dewald Brevis. Avesh Khan got rid of Akshat Raghuwanshi (18 off 18 balls) on the very first delivery of the next over. He conceded just five runs in the over, and Prince Yadav leaked nine runs in the next over, which left the CSK needing 21 runs in the last two overs. Prashant Veer hit a six in Avesh's next over to collect 11 runs from the over, which left LSG to defend 10 runs in the final over. With two left-handed batters at the crease, LSG skipper Rishabh Pant gave the ball to Aiden Markram, who started with a couple of wide deliveries. Then, Shivam Dube hit a couple of sixes to finish the match in style. CSK won the match with five wickets and four balls to spare. Earlier in the match, LSG made 203/8 after being asked to bat first. They got off to a quick start, putting the bowlers under immediate pressure. Josh Inglis set the tone early by smashing 16 runs off the opening over, bowled by left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein.

Rain disrupted the practice sessions of both Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians in Raipur on Saturday (May 9), raising concerns over whether Sunday evening’s high-stakes IPL 2026 clash will be affected by the weather.

The Indian Premier League continues to serve as a major stage for young cricketers looking to make a mark and push for national selection.

Delhi Capitals endured a crushing eight-wicket loss against Kolkata Knight Riders in their 11th match of the Indian Premier League 2026 season on Friday (May 8). Playing at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, DC struggled with the bat and posted only 142/8 in 20 overs after KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane elected to bowl first after winning the toss. Defending a modest target of 143, Delhi made an encouraging start by removing Rahane for 13 off nine deliveries and Angkrish Raghuvanshi for just one run within the opening four overs. However, KKR comfortably chased down the target to hand the hosts another disappointing defeat in front of their home crowd.&nbsp;The result marked DC’s seventh loss of the IPL 2026 campaign and dealt a major blow to their playoff hopes, leaving them with very little room for error in the remainder of the tournament.<h2>DC’s position in IPL 2026</h2>Delhi Capitals currently have eight points from 11 matches.

IPL 2026: How can Delhi Capitals still qualify for playoffs after loss to KKR? Check possible scenarios

Kolkata Knight Riders have staged a remarkable comeback in the Indian Premier League 2026 season, reigniting their playoff ambitions after a nightmare start. The three-time champions went winless in their first six matches and looked headed for an early exit from the tournament, but under the captaincy of Ajinkya Rahane, KKR have turned things around dramatically, registering four straight victories to move up to seventh place on the points table.&nbsp;Their latest win came against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday, where KKR cruised to an emphatic eight-wicket victory. Chasing 143, the visitors wrapped up the contest in only 14.2 overs, showcasing the confidence and momentum they have gained over the past few games.<h2>How KKR defeated DC</h2>KKR’s bowling unit once again laid the foundation for victory, as the spin combination of Varun Chakaravarthy, Sunil Narine and Anukul Roy kept the pressure on through the middle overs, helping restrict Delhi to 142/8. Their disciplined performance paved the way for opener Finn Allen, who smashed an unbeaten 47-ball century to complete the chase in dominant style.&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ipl-2026-preparation-for-next-year-skipper-axar-patel-suggests-season-being-over-for-dc-1778311838320">IPL 2026 | 'Preparation for next year': Skipper Axar Patel suggests season being over for DC</a>&nbsp;Rahane, who had come under scrutiny earlier in the season due to KKR’s inconsistent form, is now being applauded for his composed leadership during a challenging phase.

Can KKR still qualify for IPL 2026 playoffs? Here are possible scenarios

Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper Axar Patel has conceded that the ongoing IPL 2026 season out of bounds to be saved. The statement comes after DC's fifth home loss and seventh overall in the season, leaving them eighth on the points able with just eight points from four wins in 11 matches. The latest loss, on Friday (May 8), came against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) which themselves are not having a season any better then DC.

There's next year too, we'll have to think of plans and preparation for next year, and accordingly, think of which players who are currently on the bench should be given chances," hinting at his thoughts suggesting IPL 2026 is a lost cause already. With three matches left to play for them in the season, DC could get to a maximum of 14 points which may prove not sufficient for them to make the playoffs.Speaking on the loss against KKR, Axar said: "We were short on runs. Spinners made a lot of mistakes, gave away too many step-hits. We lost five wickets in 2-3 overs with bat, lost momentum there. We had to take one-two overs to consolidate after a cluster of wickets."<h2>How Capitals' IPL 2026 season derailed?</h2>DC started the season with a couple of wins before losing the next two matches and then winning the fifth one - making it three wins in the first five matches. In the next six matches which followed, Capitals lost five matches and only won one, highlighting their struggles. DC batting has not been upto the mark barring opener KL Rahul and the bowling hasn't clicked either including from ace wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav.

DC are currently eighth on the points table with just eight points from seven losses and four wins in 11 matches. With only three more matches left for them, they might not able to make it to the playoffs even with wins in the rest three matches.

Finn Allen smashed an unbeaten 100 off just 47 deliveries as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) cruised to an eight-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals (DC) in their IPL 2026 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday. Chasing a target of 143, KKR completed the chase comfortably with 34 balls to spare, thanks to Allen’s explosive knock that featured 10 sixes and five fours. Cameron Green provided solid support with an unbeaten 33 from 27 balls.&nbsp;KKR began aggressively through openers Ajinkya Rahane and Allen, racing to 29/1 in only 2.5 overs. However, Rahane was run out for 13 by Mitchell Starc at the end of the third over. DC struck again immediately when skipper Axar Patel dismissed Angkrish Raghuvanshi, leaving KKR at 32/2 after four overs.&nbsp;From that point onward, the contest belonged entirely to Allen, as the New Zealand batter launched a counterattack, taking on both the pacers and spinners with confidence. He brought up his half-century in 32 balls with a six off Starc in the 11th over, by which KKR had moved to 86/2.&nbsp;Allen then shifted gears, hammering Vipraj Nigam for three successive sixes in the 12th over before attacking Kuldeep Yadav with two more maximums in the next over to surge into the nineties.&nbsp;Needing just three runs to seal victory, Green smartly rotated the strike to give Allen the chance to complete his milestone. The opener made no mistake, launching a towering six to register his maiden IPL century and seal a dominant win for KKR.&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/bcci-issues-warning-to-ipl-teams-over-honey-trap-risks-tightens-hotel-room-access-rules-1778231753421">BCCI issues warning to IPL teams over honey-trap risks, tightens hotel rules</a>&nbsp;Coming to DC's bowling, Axar Patel (1/27 in 4 overs) and Lungi Ngidi (0/7 in 2 overs) were the only ones who shone. The win marked KKR's fourth consecutive victory in this season of the IPL. They now sit seventh on the points table with four wins in 10 matches. Earlier, after KKR put DC to bat first, openers KL Rahul and Pathum Nissanka started well, collecting runs freely against spinners Anukul Roy and Sunil Narine. The duo was going at almost 10 runs per over. In the fifth over, KL tried to dominate pacer Kartik Tyagi with a couple of fours, but an attempt at going inside-out over covers went straight into the hands of Cameron Green, removing him for a 14-ball 23. DC was 49/1 in five overs. DC reached the 50-run mark in 5.1 overs. At the end of the powerplay, DC was 55/1, with Nitish Rana (1*) and Nissanka (31*) unbeaten. Nissanka continued to bat in a free-flow manner against spin, even hitting Green for a six and a four. But the Aussie all-rounder pushed DC back by removing Nitish for a 10-ball eight. DC was 74/2 in eight overs. Spin started to dominate DC, as Narine removed Sameer Rizvi for seven-ball three, reducing DC to 80/3 in 10 overs. In the 11th over, Anukul snapped wickets of Nissanka, who had just reached his second-fifty of the competition, courtesy a stumping from keeper Angkrish Raghuvanshi for 29-ball 50 (with five fours and three sixes) and hit Tristan Stubbs' off-stump when he was at 2. DC sunk to 89/5 in 10.5 overs from a dominant position of 74/1. Ashutosh Sharma and skipper Axar Patel were well contained by the spinners Varun, Anukul and Sunil in the middle-overs. The spinners put on an exceptional squeeze. From overs 11 to 15, DC could score just 18 runs and only one boundary came from the bat of Nissanka. DC reached the 100-run mark in 16 overs. It took Ashutosh's six to break a boundary-less streak of 38 balls on the third ball of the 17th over and he further relieved pressure with two more fours, ending the over with 16 runs. Vaibhav Arora ended skipper Axar's stay at the crease, courtesy a fine catch from Anukul. The captain played a poor knock of 11 in 22 balls, reducing DC to 128/6 in 18.3 overs. However, Ashutosh ended the over with a four and six. With assistance from skipper Ajinkya Rahane, Kartik got his second wicket, removing Ashutosh for a 28-ball 39, with three fours and sixes each, bringing down DC to 140/7 in 19.2 overs. He also removed Mitchell Starc for a duck, reducing DC to 140/8 in 19.4 overs. DC ended their innings at 142/8, with Lungi Ngidi (1*) and Vipraj Nigam (3*) unbeaten. Kartik (2/25 in four overs) and Anukul (2/31 in four overs) were the standout bowlers, while Varun (0/28 in four overs) and Narine (1/17 in four overs) also choked DC with their spin.&nbsp;&nbsp;With inputs from agencies

IPL 2026: Here's all you need to know about RR vs GT match no 52 timing, squad, H2H & more

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) all-rounder Krunal Pandya has shared his thoughts on the demands and mindset needed to play as defending champions in the Indian Premier League (IPL), saying that pressure is a constant at the highest level but should be embraced rather than feared. Speaking on JioStar’s ‘Superstars’, Krunal spoke about the expectations that come with holding the title and underlined the need to stay grounded and stick to a simple approach in crucial moments.&nbsp;"It's a very good place to be, knowing that we are defending champions. Pressure is always there when you play at the highest level, regardless of whether you are defending champions or not," the all-rounder said.&nbsp;He further added that pressure situations often bring out his best as a player.&nbsp;"I always believe that as an athlete, I try to prepare myself for tough situations. Whenever there is extra pressure or a need to perform, that gets me going as an individual," he explained.&nbsp;Krunal also highlighted the value of experience in dealing with high expectations, especially for senior players who help guide younger members of the squad through tough phases of the tournament.&nbsp;"At the end of the day, nothing really changes. It's just a game. You must approach it the same way... Having played for almost a decade at this level, I have some experience to share with my teammates as a senior player," he noted.&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/bcci-issues-warning-to-ipl-teams-over-honey-trap-risks-tightens-hotel-room-access-rules-1778231753421">BCCI issues warning to IPL teams over honey-trap risks, tightens hotel room access rules</a>&nbsp;He concluded by stressing the importance of staying calm and focusing on the basics regardless of the situation.&nbsp;“It’s all about keeping things simple, no matter how big the moment is,” he added.&nbsp;Krunal also touched upon how modern IPL batting has evolved, forcing bowlers to continuously adapt by expanding their skill sets, including variations like bouncers and yorkers.&nbsp;"If you follow the IPL closely over the last 10 years, the striking ability of batters has changed drastically. Today, the power-hitting is constantly evolving," Pandya said.&nbsp;He added that bowlers are now required to stay ahead of batters by continuously adapting their plans and adding variety to their skill set. "So as a bowler, I have realised that you have to add variety to your bowling arsenal. You must stay one step ahead of the batter. That is how bowling bouncers and yorkers came into the process," he explained. Pandya clarified that this evolution in his bowling was not sudden but a result of careful planning and understanding of match situations and batter psychology. "It was not that I suddenly woke up one day and started bowling bouncers as a spinner. It was a very well thought-out plan, understanding what a bouncer does psychologically to a batter," he said. The RCB all-rounder also highlighted how his experience as a batter helps him read opposition players better and anticipate their approach. "Being a batter myself helps me think like a batter. I always try to stay one step ahead of the batter in terms of thought process and then focus on how to execute my skill," he added.&nbsp;Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants defeated defending champions RCB by nine runs at Ekana Stadium on Thursday. The hosts posted 209/3 in 19 overs, powered by a brilliant 111 off 56 balls from Mitchell Marsh and late contributions from Nicholas Pooran and Rishabh Pant. Chasing 213 under the DLS method, RCB suffered an early collapse with Prince Yadav dismissing Virat Kohli for a two-ball duck. Despite a strong 95-run partnership between Rajat Patidar (61) and Devdutt Padikkal (34), and late resistance from Tim David, Krunal Pandya and Romario Shepherd, RCB finished at 203/6, falling short by nine runs. Prince Yadav (3/33) and Shahbaz Ahmed (2/33) led the bowling effort for LSG, while Marsh was named Player of the Match for his match-defining century.&nbsp;With inputs from agencies

'Pressure is always there': Krunal Pandya reflects on RCB’s challenge as IPL defending champions

In a significant move during the ongoing IPL 2026 season, the BCCI has raised concerns over multiple instances of misconduct and breaches of protocol involving players, franchise officials and team owners. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has reportedly circulated an eight-page advisory to all 10 IPL franchises, warning that such incidents could lead to reputational damage, legal complications and serious security threats.&nbsp;“The advisory has been issued in light of certain incidents observed during ongoing season and is intended to reinforce the standards of professionalism, discipline, security awareness and protocol compliance expected from all stakeholders associated with IPL," Saikia wrote to CEOs of the 10 franchises as reported by news agency PTI.&nbsp;In the ‘Preamble’, Saikia writes: “It has come to the attention of the BCCI that certain incidents of misconduct and protocol violation have occured involving players and support staff and team officials during the course of the current IPL season. These incidents if left unaddressed, carry the potential to cause significant reputational harm to the tournament, the Franchise concerned and the BCCI as the Governing Body. They may further expose individuals and franchises to legal liability and security risks of serious nature."&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/-only-one-or-two-shots-away-patidar-reflects-on-rcb-s-narrow-loss-to-lsg-backs-team-s-intent-1778230223503">'Only one or two shots away': Patidar reflects on RCB’s narrow loss to LSG, backs team’s intent</a><h2>Concern over unauthorised visitors</h2>One of the major issues highlighted in the document relates to unauthorised individuals entering players’ hotel rooms without the approval or knowledge of team managers. The BCCI observed that some players and support staff had allowed outsiders into private hotel areas, which it described as a serious breach of security protocol.&nbsp;&nbsp;“It has been observed that certain players and support staff members have permitted unauthorised persons to access their hotel rooms without the knowledge or approval of the concerned IPL franchise Team Manager. In a number of instances, Team Manager was entirely unaware of the presence of such visitors. The practice is strictly prohibited with immediate effect," reads the document.&nbsp;The directive issued a three-point dikhtat for players and support staff<ul><li>No person irrespective of their identity, relationship to team member or stated purpose shall be permitted entry into player’s or support staff member’s hotel room without prior knowledge and explicit written approval from Team Manager.</li><li>Guests and visitors shall be received exclusively in designated public areas of hotel such as lobby or hotel reception lounge. No guest shall be escorted to private hotel rooms unless Team Manager has specifically authorised the same in writing.</li><li>The BCCI draws attention to all Franchises to the well documented risks of targeted compromise and Honey Trapping that pervade high profile sporting environments. The possibility of incidents giving rise to serious legal allegations, including those under applicable Indian laws on sexual misconduct cannot be discounted. IPL franchises must remain vigilant and proactive in mitigating such risks at all times.&nbsp;</li></ul><h2>Team owners warns over dugout access</h2>The BCCI additionally flagged concerns regarding certain franchise owners allegedly breaching the Players and Match Officials Access (PMOA) protocol during live matches. The board said some owners were seen attempting to interact physically or verbally with players inside restricted areas such as dugouts during games. &nbsp;“The BCCI has noted with concern that certain IPL franchise owners have not adhered to the Players and Match Officials Access (PMOA) protocol during the course of the matches. Specifically instances have been observed of IPL franchises owners attempting to communicate with, approach, hug, or otherwise physically interact with players during live match situations. Such conduct however well-intentioned, directly contravenes established protocol and may constitute interference with team dynamics and match proceedings," the document states.&nbsp;As a result, a three-point guideline has been issued for the owners<ul><li>IPL franchise owners and their representatives are strictly prohibited from communicating with or physically accessing players or team officials in the dugout, dressing room or playing area during course of the match, except through designated and approved channels.</li><li>All franchise owner level access to restricted zones must strictly conform to the PMOA Protocol as communicated by the IPL operations Divisions.

The BCCI has issued a warning to all 10 IPL franchises following repeated security lapses involving hotel access, owner movement and vaping. 

In a significant move during the ongoing IPL 2026 season, the BCCI has raised concerns over multiple instances of misconduct and breaches of protocol involving players, franchise officials and team owners. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has reportedly circulated an eight-page advisory to all 10 IPL franchises, warning that such incidents could lead to reputational damage, legal complications and serious security threats. “The advisory has been issued in light of certain incidents observed during ongoing season and is intended to reinforce the standards of professionalism, discipline, security awareness and protocol compliance expected from all stakeholders associated with IPL," Saikia wrote to CEOs of the 10 franchises as reported by news agency PTI. In the ‘Preamble’, Saikia writes: “It has come to the attention of the BCCI that certain incidents of misconduct and protocol violation have occured involving players and support staff and team officials during the course of the current IPL season. These incidents if left unaddressed, carry the potential to cause significant reputational harm to the tournament, the Franchise concerned and the BCCI as the Governing Body. They may further expose individuals and franchises to legal liability and security risks of serious nature." Also Read - 'Only one or two shots away': Patidar reflects on RCB’s narrow loss to LSG, backs team’s intent Concern over unauthorised visitors One of the major issues highlighted in the document relates to unauthorised individuals entering players’ hotel rooms without the approval or knowledge of team managers. The BCCI observed that some players and support staff had allowed outsiders into private hotel areas, which it described as a serious breach of security protocol. “It has been observed that certain players and support staff members have permitted unauthorised persons to access their hotel rooms without the knowledge or approval of the concerned IPL franchise Team Manager. In a number of instances, Team Manager was entirely unaware of the presence of such visitors. The practice is strictly prohibited with immediate effect," reads the document. The directive issued a three-point dikhtat for players and support staff No person irrespective of their identity, relationship to team member or stated purpose shall be permitted entry into player’s or support staff member’s hotel room without prior knowledge and explicit written approval from Team Manager. Guests and visitors shall be received exclusively in designated public areas of hotel such as lobby or hotel reception lounge. No guest shall be escorted to private hotel rooms unless Team Manager has specifically authorised the same in writing. The BCCI draws attention to all Franchises to the well documented risks of targeted compromise and Honey Trapping that pervade high profile sporting environments. The possibility of incidents giving rise to serious legal allegations, including those under applicable Indian laws on sexual misconduct cannot be discounted. IPL franchises must remain vigilant and proactive in mitigating such risks at all times. Team owners warns over dugout access The BCCI additionally flagged concerns regarding certain franchise owners allegedly breaching the Players and Match Officials Access (PMOA) protocol during live matches. The board said some owners were seen attempting to interact physically or verbally with players inside restricted areas such as dugouts during games. “The BCCI has noted with concern that certain IPL franchise owners have not adhered to the Players and Match Officials Access (PMOA) protocol during the course of the matches. Specifically instances have been observed of IPL franchises owners attempting to communicate with, approach, hug, or otherwise physically interact with players during live match situations. Such conduct however well-intentioned, directly contravenes established protocol and may constitute interference with team dynamics and match proceedings," the document states. As a result, a three-point guideline has been issued for the owners IPL franchise owners and their representatives are strictly prohibited from communicating with or physically accessing players or team officials in the dugout, dressing room or playing area during course of the match, except through designated and approved channels. All franchise owner level access to restricted zones must strictly conform to the PMOA Protocol as communicated by the IPL operations Divisions. Any deviation shall be treated as serious violation. Franchise management is responsible for ensuring that IPL franchise owners and their associates are fully briefed on applicable protocols prior to each match day. Strict warning against vaping The directive also addressed incidents involving vaping inside restricted tournament areas. The issue gained attention after Riyan Parag was reportedly seen vaping in the dressing room of Rajasthan Royals, leading to disciplinary action and a substantial fine. “Instances of vaping within dressing room and other restricted areas of tournament venues have been brought to BCCI’s attention. It is pertinent to note that vapes and electronic cigarettes is prohibited under applicable Indian Law. Any individual found engaging in such conduct within tournament premises is not only violating BCCI and IPL regulations but may also be committing a cognisable offence under applicable statutory framework," Saikia wrote. “Accordingly the use of vapes, e-cigarettes, and all prohibited substances is strictly banned within all IPL tournament venues, including dressing rooms, dugouts, team hotels and practice facilities," he added.

BCCI issues warning to IPL teams over honey-trap risks, tightens hotel room access rules

Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Rajat Patidar praised his team’s aggressive approach during the chase against Lucknow Super Giants, despite ending up on the losing side. Asked to bat first, LSG posted 209/3 in a rain-shortened 19-over contest, powered by a sensational century from Mitchell Marsh, who smashed 111 off just 56 deliveries, including nine boundaries and nine sixes. Under the DLS-revised target, RCB needed 213 runs to win but suffered an early setback after losing both openers with only nine runs on the board. Despite this, Bengaluru eventually fell short by just nine runs, as Prince Yadav starring with figures of 3/33 for his team.&nbsp;Reflecting on the chase after the match, Patidar said the team believed in its strategy and felt that they narrowly missed out.&nbsp;"We were pretty sure how to go about the target. Boys played well, and the way we stretched this game, just one or two shots behind. It was a really good batting track. The ball was coming nicely on the bat. Difficult to analyse just after the game, need some time to analyse it.

IPL 2026: Hardik Pandya rejoins Mumbai Indians camp in Raipur before crucial clash against RCB

Lucknow Super Giants kept their playoff hopes alive with a thrilling win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a rain-hit IPL 2026 clash at Ekana Cricket Stadium on Thursday (May 7). Reduced to 19 overs per side due to multiple rain delays, LSG posted an imposing 209/3, thanks to a brilliant century from Mitchell Marsh, his second hundred in IPL history. Following the interruption, RCB were handed a revised target of 213.

IPL 2026: Are Lucknow Super Giants still in contention for a top-four spot? Check the details below.

Lucknow Super Giants kept their playoff hopes alive with a thrilling win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a rain-hit IPL 2026 clash at Ekana Cricket Stadium on Thursday (May 7). Reduced to 19 overs per side due to multiple rain delays, LSG posted an imposing 209/3, thanks to a brilliant century from Mitchell Marsh, his second hundred in IPL history. Following the interruption, RCB were handed a revised target of 213. However, Prince Yadav turned the game in LSG’s favour with a superb three-wicket spell, including the early dismissal of Virat Kohli for a duck off just two deliveries. Skipper Rajat Patidar responded with a brillliant half-century, while Tim David smashed a quickfire 40 from 17 balls, but RCB eventually finished at 203/6, falling nine runs short.
