New Delhi: Finn Allen lit up the Arun Jaitley Stadium with a sensational century as Kolkata Knight Riders cruised to an emphatic eight-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026. The explosive opener smashed a 47-ball hundred, completely shifting the momentum in KKR’s favour during the chase. Meanwhile, the innings did not begin smoothly for the New Zealand batter, with the pitch offering enough assistance to trouble stroke-makers early on. Allen, in the meantime, started cautiously, taking time to assess the conditions before launching an aggressive counterattack once he settled at the crease.  After finding rhythm, the keeper-batter dismantled the…

Kolkata: Kolkata Knight Riders registered a comfortable win over Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the IPL 2026. The Ajinkya Rahane-led side produced a clinical all-round show, getting the job done with 34 balls to spare. Meanwhile, it all started with winning the toss as bowling first was a very important decision made by the KKR skipper.  Batting first, Delhi failed to understand the nature of the surface and it bothered them throughout the game. Sri Lanka international Pathum Nissanka, who has experience of playing on slow surfaces, was the only batter to show some hunger, scoring a…

Lucknow: Lucknow Super Giants managed just three wins in 10 games so far in the IPL 2026. They are currently at the bottom of the table and even though the Rishabh Pant-led side is mathematically alive in the playoffs race, it’s nearly impossible for them to progress. So far, it has been an extremely difficult season for the franchise, with the batters struggling to live up to the expectations. Constant chop and changes haven’t helped either. The franchise has tried multiple opening combinations this year and the middle order was affected because of the same. That raises a question of…

Dhaka: Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto led by example on the opening day of the first Test against Pakistan at the Shere Bangla Stadium in Dhaka. After losing two early wickets, the hosts were put under some pressure, but the captain took over the charge and scored a century to shift the momentum back. He was well supported by Mominul Haque, who made 91 runs before Noman Ali got the better of him.  Meanwhile, with the century, Shanto entered Bangladesh’s Test record books. He now surpassed Mushfiqur Rahim to hold the record for the most centuries by a Bangladesh captain…

New Delhi: Kolkata Knight Riders have announced an unchanged playing XI for the marquee clash against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in IPL 2026. It means Finn Allen, Cameron Green, Rovman Powell and Sunil Narine are the four overseas players that will represent KKR tonight. It resulted in Matheesha Pathirana once again warming the bench and waiting for his opportunity. The Sri Lanka international joined the squad around two weeks back and since then, he has trained with the squad, but failed to break into the playing XI. Notably, he suffered a hamstring injury during the T20 World…
