3 min readApr 2, 2026 08:06 PM IST The underperformance of the batting unit is what led Chennai Super Kings to a bottom table finish last season in the Indian Premier League (IPL). And beginning the new season earlier this week in Guwahati against Rajasthan Royals, CSK were once again blown away in the powerplay before being all out for 127 against Rajasthan Royals. As CSK prepare to play their first home game of the season against Punjab Kings, all eyes are on how their young batting unit will come up. In the last two seasons, CSK have struggled in their own conditions, with the pitch at Chepauk becoming more batting-friendly. From being a venue where spinners called the shots, it has evolved into a pitch where pacers have got more purchase. And in the recent T20 World Cup, Chennai witnessed high-scoring games. All of it points to CSK playing on flat decks, which hasn’t been their strength in recent times. And on the eve of the game, Gaikwad said he isn’t sure of how …

3 min readUpdated: Mar 31, 2026 09:58 AM IST Days after he turned 15, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi ensured that his IPL initiation last season was anything but a fluke as he pulverised Chennai Super Kings at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati on Monday. Opening the batting in his second season for the Rajasthan Royals in a 128-run chase, the swashbuckling left-handed batter razed down the Chennai bowling within the Powerplay. Having received an early reprieve from a drop from CSK’s Kartik Sharma, Sooryavanshi sped to a 15-ball half-century, the joint-third fastest IPL fifty. While he eventually fell on 52 off 17 deliveries on the back of five sixes and four fours, Sooryavanshi had all but sealed the chase. Rajasthan cruised past the target in 13 overs with eight wickets to spare. “The plan today was simply to execute well in the Powerplay. Initially, the wicket felt a bit sticky, but as the ball got older, it started coming onto the bat nicely,” Sooryavanshi told broadcasters after the win.

IPL 2026: MS Dhoni’s injury comes as blessing in disguise for Chennai Super Kings, as they go for modern T20 approach, starting with game vs Rajasthan Royals | Cricket News

Published by Parlour News

4 min readMar 29, 2026 08:17 PM IST For the first time since the IPL began in 2008, Chennai Super Kings will take the field against Rajasthan Royals without MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina. For a couple of seasons, when they failed to make the play-offs in successive editions, CSK appeared to be stuck in a time warp while Other franchises moved on, embracing a new attacking game plan all the way down the batting order. And now, after going after youth at the auction, CSK are now in uncharted territory without their Thala, who will miss at least two weeks of action due to a calf strain. Having chosen to stay back in Chennai for rehab, the face of the franchise would be absent from Guwahati, as they take on the inaugural IPL champions. While Dhoni missing a tie would have been a huge blow in times gone by, there is no anxiety in Chennai’s ranks this time. If anything, this could well be a signal for the franchise to move on from the …

Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s maiden Indian Premier League season ended with a half-century against the Chennai Super Kings. Thanks to his 57-run knock off 33 balls, the Rajasthan Royals’ chase of 188 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium got off to a solid start.

Malaika Arora Clicked With Former Sri Lankan Cricketer Kumar Sangakkara At IPL 2025

Published by Parlour News

While this was Arora’s first spotting with Sangakkara, the speculations have spread like wildfire. Netizens are also convinced about the dating speculations, as Malaika has never expressed herself as a fan of Rajasthan Royals before. She has also not been spotted in significant cricketing events before. This rumoured development also comes months after her breakup with Arjun Kapoor. They began dating in 2018 and called it quits in 2024. Neither of them confirmed the breakup but Arjun had stated before that he was single. During Singham Again’s promotions in October 2024, when fans chanted Malaika’s name while Arjun spoke on stage, the actor had replied, “Nahi, abhi single hoon. Relax karo. (No, I’m single now. Relax.)” See Also: Arjun Kapoor reacts as someone screams Malaika Arora’s name during an event For those unaware, despite being replaced by Rahul Dravid as the head coach this season, Sangakkara is the team’s director of cricket. It would be interesting to note if Malaika and Sangakkara are dating or are simply friends. Neither of them has spoken up about the …

Robin Uthappa on Dhoni batting at No 9

Robin Uthappa on Dhoni batting at No 9

Published by Webster

There has been plenty of debate over Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s position on the Chennai Super Kings batting order after he came in to bat at No 9 against Royal Challangers Bengaluru. He batted at No 7 against the Rajasthan Royals when he scored just 16 runs off 11 balls. CSK fell short by 50 runs against RCB and by six runs versus RR. Former India cricketer Robin Uthappa also said he was struggling to understand the reasoning behind Dhoni batting at No 9. Asked how he felt about Dhoni batting at No 9, Uthappa said: Frustrated. F*****g frustrated. What the f**k is going on, dude! He might as well have (batted even lower than No 9). It wouldn’t have made a difference. I would say ‘befuddlement’ is too weak a term. What the heck! Like what is the thinking? Because you know you’re not going to win the game by the time he’s coming to bat. By the time (Ravichandran) Ashwin’s coming to bat, you know that you have less than a slim chance of …
