Rajasthan Royals secure their fifth IPL 2026 win over Lucknow Super Giants, with Ravindra Jadeja explaining his calculated late assault and tactical approach.
Jadeja, who returned to the Royals in a high-profile trade that also saw Sam Curran join RR and Sanju Samson head the other way, admitted the change after 12–13 years with CSK was not easy to process.
Sharing pictures from the interaction on social media, Jadeja expressed his admiration for the Prime Minister. “An absolute privilege and honour to meet and interact with Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi sir. His clarity of thought, enthusiasm, and commitment to excellence are deeply inspiring. A privilege to learn from such leadership,” Jadeja wrote on X.
The system is divided into four categories — A+, A, B and C — with annual payouts of Rs 7 crore, Rs 5 crore, Rs 3 crore, and Rs 1 crore, respectively.
New Zealand sealed their first-ever bilateral ODI series win in India after eight attempts, ending a wait of 37 years. The result came just over 16 months after their Test team had stunned India with a 3-0 whitewash at home in 2024.
On a pitch which had some assistance for spinners, Bangalore were off to a steady start as Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli hit eight boundaries between themselves to be at 51/0 in the first five overs.
In a stadium where majority of the fans sported yellow jerseys and cheered loudly when MS Dhoni walked in for the toss as the captain, Gaikwad and Conway dished out a stunning, dominant show after having the usual slow and steady Chennai start when 40/0 came in powerplay.
Ravindra Jadeja has decided to relinquish captaincy to focus and concentrate more on his game and has requested MS Dhoni to lead CSK.
Only two CSK cricketers -- former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (217 matches) and Suresh Raina (200 matches) -- have accomplished the feat for the four-time IPL champions.
