Injuries continue to trouble RCB and MI. Riyan Parag is under fire for his conduct on April 28. SRH made light work of MI’s 244-run target in Mumbai. SLC is going through a tumultuous time. Lastly, BCB has granted a Bangladeshi fast bowler an NOC for the PSL 2026 final.
Riyan Parag under fire
Riyan Parag has found himself in trouble after the RR captain was caught smoking an e-cigarette, the use of which is prohibited in India, inside the dressing room during the PBKS match on April 28. The BCCI will investigate the matter and take further action depending on their findings.
Rohit Sharma injury update
Rohit Sharma has now missed 4 matches in IPL 2026 due to a hamstring injury sustained on April 12. After MI captain Hardik Pandya announced the team for the SRH match, he revealed that Rohit will miss at least a couple more games. By then, MI’s season could be over.
SRH’s record chase vs MI
Speaking of the MI vs SRH match, the visitors claimed a dominant win. Led by Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen, Sunrisers hunted down 244, the 4th highest successful chase in IPL history, in 18.4 overs. Jasprit Bumrah once again went wicketless, and Ryan Rickelton’s heroics, with the highest score for MI, went unrewarded.
