New Delhi: Dewald Brevis missed out as Chennai Super Kings open their IPL 2026 campaign against Rajasthan Royals at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, on Monday, March 30. The toss was delayed due to rain in Guwahati. Brevis missed out on the clash as he had picked up a side strain leading into the game. "Brevis is out. He had a side injury during training. He is rehabbing. Hopefully, won’t be [out] for too long," head coach Stephen Fleming said on the eve of the game in Guwahati. Brevis had a notable impact in IPL 2025 after joining CSK mid-season…

New Delhi: Rajasthan Royals open their Indian Premier League 2026 campaign against Chennai Super Kings at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. Despite the rain around, the toss was pushed only five minutes later. There were overcast clouds over the Barsapra Cricket Stadium; however, the gloomy sky could not prevent the game from taking place. Meanwhile, the Rajasthan Royals are without Sanju Samson, who has moved on from the franchise. Samson was traded to CSK, with the Royals bringing in Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran. Samson is now with CSK and is likely to be the successor of MS Dhoni at…

New Delhi: Chennai Super Kings were rocked early on by Rajasthan Royals in their Indian Premier League 2026 opener at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. After being sent in to bat first, CSK lost both of their openers, Sanju Samson and Ruturaj Gaikwad and No.3 Ayush Mhatre pretty early on.  Both Samson and Ruturaj were dismissed for six runs each, with Nandre Burger cleaning up the former and Jofra Archer bamboozling the CSK skipper. Mhatre was dismissed for a golden duck when Burger nicked him behind off a short ball. CSK needed to call in Sarfaraz Khan as their Impact…

New Delhi: Despite being thrashed by the Rajasthan Royals in their IPL 2026 opener, Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad does not feel 'frustrated at all'. The five-time champions were catapulted by the Royals at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. CSK were shot out for just 127, and had No.8 Jamie Overton not scored those 43 runs, they could well have been dismissed for below 100. In reply, the Royals hunted down the target in just 12.1 overs and eight wickets in hand, making it their biggest IPL win in terms of balls remaining. Gaikwad reasoned that the sticky conditions…

New Delhi: Chennai Super Kings' all-rounder Jamie Overton shattered an MS Dhoni record despite the team's horror show against Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League 2026. Overton made 43 in an otherwise dismal batting outing from CSK, who were shot out for just 127 batting first at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, on Monday, March 30. With rain making conditions tacky, CSK batters were caught in choppy waters after being sent in to bat by RR captain Riyan Parag. Nothing seemed to be working their way as they kept losing wickets in a heap. None of the top four,…

New Delhi: Rajasthan Royals have handed Chennai Super Kings a huge drubbing in their IPL 2026 opener at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, with a stellar all-round show.

New Delhi: Red Bull boss Laurent Mekies has responded to four-time champion Max Verstappen's retirement hint after a frustrating start to the Formula 1 2026 season. Due to his ongoing struggles with the new power unit in the series, Verstappen claimed that he is considering retiring at the end of 2026. On being asked about a possible retirement at the end of 2026, the Red Bull driver told the BBC, "That’s what I’m saying. I’m thinking about everything inside this paddock. Privately, I'm very happy. You also wait for 24 races. This time it's 22. But normally 24. And then…

Guwahati: Chennai Super Kings' IPL 2026 campaign didn't get off to a desired start as their batting unravelled against the Rajasthan Royals at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati. MS Dhoni's absence was felt as the team lacked experience, while Sanju Samson's debut for the franchise also turned out to be forgettable. At one stage, it felt as if they would fold for their lowest totals in the history of IPL, only for the likes of Sarafaraz Khan, Jamie Overton and debutant Kartik Sharma to save the day for the five-time champions. The trio managed to reach double figures as the…
