Ravi Shastri says mental fatigue is behind Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh’s form | Cricket News

3 min readMay 7, 2026 07:00 AM IST This year’s IPL has seen two-time T20 World Cup-winning bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh having mediocre returns post India’s title winning campaign in this year’s T20 World Cup. While Bumrah has managed to take only three wickets in ten matches at an average of 109.67 for Mumbai Indians, Arshdeep too has an average return to IPL with his 12 wickets from 11 matches, including his spell of 1 for 43 against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday. With Arshdeep bowling against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday, 1983 World Cup winner and former India coach Ravi Shastri shared how the much-acclaimed Indian fast bowlers were showing signs of mental fatigue post the T20 World Cup. “Just seeing the way the season has panned out, and seeing some of the established bowlers who’ve played a lot of cricket through the season, played for India, played World Cups, all this stuff… showing signs of mental fatigue,” Shastri said during commentary on JioHotstar. Bumrah, who was the player of the tournament during …

Hardik Pandya or Suryakumar Yadav?: In Mumbai Indians captaincy debate, Ashwin says there’s a ‘no brainer’ candidate | Cricket News

3 min readMar 23, 2026 01:39 PM IST Ahead of the Indian Premier League’s 2026 edition, former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has said that Suryakumar Yadav has a strong case to be made the Mumbai Indians captain. However, Ashwin also pointed out that current MI captain Hardik Pandya is not short of credentials to stay captain either. Mumbai’s captaincy has been under the lens for the past two seasons since Hardik returned to Mumbai after two seasons in charge of Gujarat Titans, where he led them to the title in 2022 and then reached the final in 2023. While Mumbai Indians’ decision to replace long-time captain Rohit Sharma at the helm with Hardik in 2024 cause plenty of anger in the fans, this year there will be one more strong claimant to the Mumbai captaincy role: Yadav, who only recently led the Indian cricket team to another T20 World Cup title. “Suryakumar Yadav not being the captain of Mumbai Indians is a no-brainer. Usko captaincy dena hi chahiye (He should definitely be the captain). And …

Chennai Super Kings’ ‘Roar 26’ event at Chepauk: OG CSK stars reunite, Sanju Samson brings the roof down, and gauntlet thrown down for youngsters | Cricket News

4 min readChennaiMar 22, 2026 09:44 PM IST The intention behind Chennai Super Kings organising ‘Roar 26’ was to bring the fans closer to the icons of the franchise. And through the course of a five-and-a-half-hour glittering event at Chepauk, the franchise put up a flex – with their OG squad of the initial years proudly displaying the three IPL titles and two Champions League trophies won between 2010-2018. Having not won an IPL title since 2023, for the new, young team of 2026, it seemed like a hidden message that highlighted the expectations here. A gauntlet is being thrown. From the time the franchise made the announcement about the event, all eyes have been on the star cast. And despite being associated with other IPL franchises, Dwayne Bravo and Matthew Hayden, now with Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans as support staff, joined the list of former stars which included Parthiv Patel, Lakshmipathy Balaji, Shadab Jakati, Harbhajan Singh, Joginder Sharma, Aniruda Srikkanth, S Badrinath, Murali Vijay, Muttiah Muralitharan, Michael Hussey, Ambati Rayudu and Suresh …

‘Has he bowled a spell like 8/15?’: Alastair Cook questions Jasprit Bumrah’s match-winning spells in Test cricket after T20 World Cup win | Cricket News

3 min readMar 12, 2026 06:33 PM IST Former England captain Alastair Cook has questioned Jasprit Bumrah’s ability to run through sides and bowl spells like Stuart Broad’s 8/15 in the 2015 Ashes Test against Australia. The 40-year-old heaped praise on the Indian pacer, referring to him as the ‘best all-format bowler going around’, but raised doubts over whether he could take wickets and be economical at the same time. “Is he the best in terms of match-winning spells in Test cricket? Without a shadow of a doubt, he is the best all-format bowler around, I think. I mean, you can safely say that. But has he, like, in a Test match bowled a spell like an 8/15, or is he not that kind of bowler?” Cook said on the ‘Stick to Cricket’ podcast. Bumrah’s best bowling figures in Test cricket came in 2019, when he took 6/27 in Jamaica, which also included a hat-trick. Overall, he has 16 five-wicket hauls in Tests, but has yet to record a 10-wicket haul, with 9/86 being his …
