Can RCB or GT buck the 200+ trend that undid Punjab Kings?

Published by Webster

3 min readMay 25, 2026 08:51 PM IST When Punjab Kings moved their base to Dharamsala, there were fears that the conditions could severely hamper their progress to the play-offs. As it played out, in all three matches they were out-batted by their opponents as totals of 200 became the norm. As Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans square off with the Dhauladhar ranges in the background, here is what they would encounter: Chasing the best In both the night fixtures, though teams batting first posted over 200, there were periods where the bowlers were in the game early on. Thanks to the daytime temperatures, the dry surface made for the odd ball to hold. But as the game wore on and temperatures dipped, the strip settled down, allowing batsmen to play their shots more freely. Delhi Capitals, despite being 49/3 at the end of the powerplay chasing 211, won the game with an over to spare. Given how effective both these teams are with the ball in the powerplay, there is still scope for …

IPL 2026: Krunal’s playbook is setting a new trend

Published by Parlour News

New Delhi: “He is pushing the boundaries of what finger spin means” – That’s how Dinesh Karthik frames Krunal Pandya, as the Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s spin-bowling all-rounder is attempting to solve a major problem. Krunal Pandya in action against Delhi Capitals. (REUTERS) In a format where batters prepare obsessively, where match-ups are studied and variations are catalogued, he sees deception as necessity. The Indian Premier League, in his words, has become a mental arms race. “Every ball has a sixer vibe,” he said – it’s not an exaggeration because the rules, pitches and approach seem to be relatively advantageous for the batters. There are now very safe lengths to bowl now. His question is survival-driven: What else can I add to stay one step ahead in the mental game? His answer for the last couple of seasons has been a spinner’s bouncer. According to CricViz, Krunal’s bouncer has become more efficient but less incisive. His economy rate has improved from 9.42 to 8.00, suggesting better control and fewer boundary leaks. But the strike rate has …

Published by Parlour News

This is partly because Jolly LLB 3 fared better in the urban centres and the North, where Saturday growth is better, while Bhooth Bangla has the Hindi belt circuits scoring, and they push higher on Sundays. This is not to say that Bhooth Bangla isn’t working in the North, it is, just that it is not limited to that, like Jolly LLB 3 sort of was. The film has done what it needed to …
