Punjab Kings (PBKS) once again asserted their dominance in IPL 2026 as they remained the only unbeaten team after six games, sitting at the top of the points table with 11 points. They defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 54 runs on April 19 after putting up a massive total of 254 on the scoreboard.

Priyansh Arya, the explosive opener, lit up the Mullanpurstadium with a 93-run knock off 37 balls and was deservingly adjudged the Player of the Match. Speaking at the post-match presentation, Arya said, “what was really special about this innings is that I was able to continue my batting even after the powerplay, i think I contributed well to the win and that is what made me happy”.

When asked about his six-hitting abilities and how he prepares during practice sessions, Priyansh added, “ I don’t usually prepare for six hitting in particular. I rather focus on properly timing the ball and that’s what helps me in the long run.”

In his 93-run knock, he smashed four boundaries and nine sixes at an explosive strike rate of 251.35.

“ Anand Sir and Birla Bhaiya our trainers have been helping us with our fitness routines for the last 4-5 months and I try to follow the schedule sent by them”, when asked about his fitness routine.

He further added that it helps him to not talk too much when a partnership is building at the crease. “ When we talk more, we tend to overthink. It’s better to focus on our batting and play with a clear mind”.

His favourite shot of the night when asked? “ I had hit a six over point. That is my most favourite of tonight”.

PBKS will next face Delhi Capitals (DC) on April 25 in Delhi.

Consistent Nicholas Pooran can be world’s top T20 batter

Nicholas Pooran’s carnage against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Image: IPL He has always had a calmness about him. A very West Indian relaxed kind of mindset and demeanour. And having seen adversity, he knows that one needs to celebrate and value the good that comes your way. The urge to keep getting better, and be the best version of oneself, is what defines the new Nicholas Pooran. That’s what came through in the candid conversations we had on the IPL and his own approach to batting. Not overawed by the 21-crore price tag or the weight of expectations, Pooran is simply going about his job. He knows he can hit the ball miles and is keeping it simple. Go and do what you do best for hours and hours at practice, and in doing so, help your team Lucknow Super Giants] demolish opponents. “The best part about this franchise is they have never put me under pressure,” he told me. “When you are paid a lot of money, there is always pressure. Not so much from outside but from within. You know you ne...

Turning the clock back by 0.12 seconds

MS Dhoni with a stumping dismissal against MI in the IPL 2025 in Chennai (PC: BCCI) The moment of the Chennai Super Kings-Mumbai Indians match lasted less than half a second. It was the 11 th over of the MI innings. Suryakumar Yadav was bringing the batting side back in the game. Noor Ahmad beat him on a forward charge, the ball spun away, and the right-hander’s hind leg got off the ground before he planted it back. That was all MS Dhoni needed to brush the bails off. At a packed MA Chidambaram Stadium decked in yellow and chanting his name, that was the only occasion when Dhoni was in ‘action’. It showed that at 43, his reflexes have not slackened and he has got sharper in plotting dismissals. This one was replayed on TV again and again during the match and commentators couldn’t help but keep talking about it. He had conceded four byes on the leg side in the same over. But this was the Dhoni who elevated stumping to another level. When it comes to waiting for batters to err wit...

From scoring ton in Patna to taking on bouncers like a ‘bullet’ in Perth – Nitish’s story of perseverance

Image
Nitish Kumar Reddy during the 1st innings of the Perth Test (PC: Debasis Sen) “Grateful, an innings to remember.” Nitish Reddy had posted the aforesaid statement on his Instagram account after cracking his maiden first-class hundred, against Bihar, in Patna. It wasn’t just about Nitish scoring an unbeaten 159 for Andhra. It was also about the way he scored those runs. He essayed a few crunchy drives off Veer Pratap Singh and also showcased his range of shots against Ashutosh Aman, the left-arm spinner, by playing with the turn and also against the turn. This hundred from Nitish came just before the 2024 IPL season, where he accumulated 303 runs. Once again, it wasn’t just about Nitish accruing 303 runs as he accumulated them with a touch of class. Soon, the Indian think-tank drafted the all-rounder into the limited-overs set-up. Although he missed the Zimbabwe series because of a hernia problem, it was crystal clear that the coaching staff had a vision – to pick him for the tour o...
