Overview
- Multiple outlets report selectors plan to move on from Suryakumar Yadav after IPL 2026, with Times of India tipping Shreyas Iyer and other reports naming Sanju Samson, though no decision is official.
- Suryakumar’s prolonged lean batting form and a repeatedly treated right‑wrist issue, reported during the 2026 T20 World Cup, are being cited as factors despite his title‑winning captaincy.
- Following Saturday’s 77‑run win in Jaipur, Gujarat Titans boosted their playoff push as Shubman Gill hit 84, Sai Sudharsan 55 and Rashid Khan took 4 for 33 to bowl out Rajasthan Royals for 152.
- Chennai Super Kings chose to bowl against Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday in Chennai as CSK kept the same XI and LSG brought in Josh Inglis and Avesh Khan for Arshin Kulkarni and Mayank Yadav.
- RR’s 15‑year‑old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was reported as the first to reach 30 powerplay sixes in a single IPL season, while RR coach Shane Bond blamed a dense schedule for fatigue ahead of India’s looming tours that could test any new T20I leader.
