Rajasthan Royals end Punjab Kings’ unbeaten streak in IPL 2026; Openers, Ferreira, Shubham steal show

Chandigarh: Punjab Kings’ unbeaten run in the IPL 2026 came to an end as they suffered a six-wicket defeat to Rajasthan Royals in Mullanpur. Batting first, the hosts had a perfect start to the game, with openers Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya setting the tone of the game. Keeper-batter Prabhsimran, who is in remarkable form in the ongoing season, registered yet another half-century, as Punjab were on song. After he departed for 59 runs, the middle order stumbled for a while, as captain Shreyas Iyer struggled to keep the scoreboard ticking. He made 30 runs off 27 balls as Punjab…

He is expected to return to action in October, which means he will miss the first two months of the club season as well. Now, with Madrid already out of the UEFA Champions League and 11 points behind Barcelona in La Liga, the club may…

Why is Ravi Bishnoi not playing for RR vs PBKS in IPL 2026 clash in Mullanpur?

Chandigarh: Rajasthan have dropped Ravi Bishnoi in their IPL 2026 clash against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur.

Apart from that, Rajasthan have also made another change in personnel for the game against PBKS. The visitors have dropped out-of-form batter Shimron Hetmyer for…

The widening gap between input costs and pump prices has left state-run fuel retailers incurring heavy losses - with some estimates…

The 31-year-old had targeted the Open Ranking tournament as her re-entry point but has been unable to complete…
