Mumbai Indians (MI) have rubbished rumours of any rift inside the team. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and a Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) fast bowler might be in legal trouble. Sunrisers Leeds might have gone through social media trouble for no reason. Where should Sanju Samson bat for CSK? And Gautam Gambhir’s real test begins now.
PCB to ban KKR pacer?
PCB is planning to take legal action against Blessing Muzarabani. The Zimbabwe fast bowler was slated to play for Islamabad United in PSL 11 but withdrew after KKR offered him a contract to play in IPL 2026. Last year, the PCB fined and placed a 1-year ban on Corbin Bosch for leaving the PSL for the IPL.
Sunrisers in NoC trouble
Sunrisers Leeds may’ve received a whole lot of flak for nothing. Their decision to buy Pakistani spinner Abrar Ahmed at The Hundred 2026 auction could bear no fruit. Because the PCB may not grant Abrar an NOC for the tournament. Since it clashes with Pakistan’s tour of the West Indies, Abrar could be asked to travel to the Caribbean.
Case against CSK
Sun TV Network, owner of SRH, has taken CSK to court. The media company has filed a copyright infringement suit against the 5-time IPL champions for using their songs, dialogues, and background score in a promotional video to launch their jersey for the IPL 2026 season.

Samson won’t open for CSK?
Suresh Raina believes that Sanju Samson shouldn’t open the batting for CSK. He believes that Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ayush Mhatre should open in the IPL 2026, with Samson coming in at number 3. This will allow Gaikwad and Samson to play the roles they are well-equipped with.
No Rohit Sharma vs Hardik Pandya
MI has responded to a viral post on social media, which claimed that captain Hardik Pandya has issued an ultimatum to former skipper Rohit Sharma. It stated that the latter would be released by MI if he didn’t perform in IPL 2026. The franchise has labelled the post as ‘fake news’.
Gambhir’s real test
Sourav Ganguly believes Gautam Gambhir’s real challenge as India’s white-ball coach will begin now. He’s won the Champions Trophy and the T20 World Cup, but they were played in familiar conditions. That ODI World Cup in South Africa will be the real test. Furthermore, he wants Gambhir to come good as a Test coach.
