5 min readMay 25, 2026 12:16 AM IST Synopsis: Kolkata Knight Riders lose to Delhi Capitals to end campaign on a whimper as IPL group stage suffers anti-climactic end As soon as the Rajasthan Royals defeated Mumbai Indians at Wankhede, the lustre of Kolkata Knight Riders’ match vs Delhi Capitals was mostly lost as the Indian Premier League group stage ended in a rather anticlimactic manner with the hosts at Eden Gardens ending their campaign on a whimper after losing to the Capitals by 40 runs. Contrasting fortunes for tweakers Kuldeep Yadav outdid Kolkata’s spin twins Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine as the Delhi tweaker took 3 wickets at critical junctures, breaking the back of Kolkata’s chase and ending with figures of 3/29. Compared to him, Narine finished with 1/38 while Varun could only muster 1/35 in a match of contrasts. Kolkata were off to a decent start with Finn Allen dazzling the crowd, scything through the decorated Mitchell Starc with a 4 off his first over and then a straight 80m six over the …

3 min readUpdated: May 4, 2026 07:25 PM IST Mumbai Indians welcomed Rohit Sharma back into the fold in the match against Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede on Monday. Rohit, who hasn’t played for close to three weeks after suffering a hamstring injury, is likely to slot in at the top of the order with Ryan Rickelton. “Corbin Bosch comes in for Trent Boult and also our very own Rohit Sharma is back,” stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav said at the toss. Mumbai, however, will be without regular skipper Hardik Pandya, who wasn’t feeling well, according to Surya. He’s (Hardik) not well tonight, so just going into his shoes. But yeah, the rest, everything is fine,” he said. On April 12, Rohit was batting on 19 off 13 balls when he limped off the field in MI’s chase of a mammoth target of 241 against RCB on April 12. MI went on to lose the match by 18 runs. He seemed to be fine for much of the game and fielded for the entirety of …

Shah Rukh Khan ne raada kar diya: Former ACP recalls superstar’s 2012 brawl at Wankhede Stadium

Shah Rukh Khan ne raada kar diya: Former ACP recalls superstar’s 2012 brawl at Wankhede Stadium

Published by Parlour News

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s infamous 2012 showdown at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai continues to be one of the most headline-grabbing off-field controversies in IPL history. Now, years later, former ACP Iqbal Shaikh has revisited the incident, shedding light on the “miscommunication” that quickly spiralled into a full-blown spat. Shah Rukh Khan was banned from the Wankhede Stadium after he was involved in a brawl in 2012. Ex ACP on Shah Rukh’s clash at Wankhede stadium Iqbal Shaikh, who was serving as the Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) in charge of the area at the time, recently revisited the incident involving Shah Rukh during an appearance on a podcast posted on Subhojit Ghosh’s YouTube channel. Looking back at the incident, Iqbal Shaikh said, “It was more of a miscommunication involving Shah Rukh Khan and Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) officials. I was the divisional ACP of the area where Wankhede Stadium falls, which is why I was present there. When I reached the main gate, an MCA colleague informed me that Shah Rukh ne raada kar diya …

5 min readMay 2, 2026 07:00 AM IST The Mumbai Indians are among the few teams that have scrambled to stay relevant in the IPL’s Impact Sub era. In the last three weeks, their home fortress, Wankhede Stadium, showed how much has changed since the previous decade, when they dominated the field. They were the undisputed sixer kings between 2013 and 2020, winning five titles in eight years – a whopping 891 maximums, a big hit every 16.6 deliveries. MI weren’t the fastest starters in the Powerplay in that period, but their firepower ensured middle and death-overs hitting that separated them from the rest. Earlier this month, the relatively high-scoring Wankhede witnessed a 240-plus score when Royal Challengers Bengaluru decimated the MI attack. The hosts fell short by 18 runs but responded with their highest score at the venue. A 243-run total was once a jackpot. On Wednesday, it was scarcely enough to stop Sunrisers Hyderabad, who have been at the forefront of a bewildering revolution that has even pushed the might of five-time winners …

Now, Iqbal Shaikh, then Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) overseeing the area, has recalled the incident, attributing it largely to a “miscommunication” that quickly escalated. What the former ACP revealed In a conversation with Subhojit Ghosh, Shaikh said that he was stationed at the venue in his official capacity at the time. He said that the situation spiralled after a minor disagreement between security personnel and the actor’s group. “It was more of a miscommunication involving Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) officials. I was the divisional ACP of the area where Wankhede Stadium falls, which is why I was present there. When I reached the main gate, an MCA colleague informed me that Shah Rukh ne raada kar diya (Shah Rukh Khan was creating a scene).
