3 min readMar 30, 2026 08:35 AM IST “Let people talk, yaar about me. They have been talking about me for 20 years, let them talk”. Before Sunday’s IPL 2026 opener against the Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane last played a match in December 2025. There have been some murmurs around his future as a player. Yet, despite not having played for over three months, he made his return with a 40-ball 67 at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. “I am really happy, the way I am batting at the moment. I am not here to show anyone how talented I am or what is my game. People are watching. Let them watch. Let them talk. I’m just happy with how I’m batting. Over the last 2–3 years, I’ve worked on improving my T20 game.” ALSO READ | Rohit Sharma’s quickest IPL half century, Ryan Rickelton’s 81 help Mumbai Indians break 13-year opening match hoodoo “It’s about growing as a cricketer.

There is a case to be made that the Royal Challengers Bengaluru are not quite getting their combinations right at the start of the Women’s Premier League season, but what they do have are elite match-winners who can single-handedly take the game away from the opponents. On Monday in Navi Mumbai, it was Grace Harris’ turn to produce a stunning innings that powered RCB past UP Warriorz’s total of 143 with nearly eight overs to spare. Grace and Power That Harris is one of the most powerful ball-strikers in the world is well established, but over the course of her 40-ball 85, she also showed how good her timing can be when she is in the zone. When Meg Lanning decided to open the bowling with Deepti Sharma, most likely as a match-up option to Smriti Mandhana, Harris took strike and calmly struck a straight drive off the first ball, swinging through the line effortlessly for a four. When Deepti shortened the length, she was ready to rock back in the crease and find the …

Sourav Ganguly says Virat Kohli can hit a 40-ball century: ‘Play fearless, just hit’ | Ipl News

Published by Webster

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly says Virat Kohli can play the turbocharge knocks like Travis Head and the IPL 2024 Orange Cap holder must open with Rohit Sharma for India in the T20 World Cup. “Virat Kohli has got the capability of scoring a 40-ball century,” said Ganguly. “And in my personal opinion, Rohit and Virat should open for India in the T20 World Cup,” he said. But at the same time, Ganguly said the need of the hour in T20 cricket is to play fearless cricket and Virat should take a cue from Rohit Sharma’s batting in the ODI World Cup and must go all out from ball one. “It is not a drastic change. They have the talent to do it. You saw how Rohit batted in the 50-over World Cup. He just came and hit at the top. That’s why we were such a good side. He just put so much pressure on the opposition in the first 7-8 overs that it gave breathing space for the middle order. I think Virat …
