While he is not the first or last bowler to do so in the cash-rich league, the fast bowler is the first ever for PBKS who will achieve this feat in IPL history. This is a special achievement given the fact that not many players have consistently played for the Punjab franchise over the course of the…

When will MS Dhoni return to Chennai Super Kings’ squad after calf strain?

New Delhi: The IPL (Indian Premier League) 2026 season got off to a horrid start for five-time champions Chennai Super Kings.

‘It’s on me today’: CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad takes responsibility for 43-run loss against RCB

Bengaluru: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad has taken the responsibility for the 43-run loss against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Sunday.

For the same reason, Ruturaj felt that had he scored some runs at the top of the order, the result would've been different. Ruturaj admitted that even he was surprised that they reached 200 despite losing three…
