IPL 2026 [WATCH]: Ricky Ponting left frustrated by Shashank Singh’s clumsy efforts on the field during PBKS vs LSG encounter

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 continues to deliver high-octane drama, and the 29th match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Mullanpur International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh was no exception. On the evening of Sunday, the atmosphere was electric as two mid-table teams fought for crucial points. However, the highlight of the night wasn’t just the explosive batting or searing yorkers; it was a moment of inexplicable fielding lethargy that left the legendary Ricky Ponting fuming in the dugout.

Ricky Ponting reacts in disbelief to Shashank Singh’s sloppy fielding in PBKS vs LSG game

The tension reached a boiling point during the death overs of the first innings. In the 18th over, with LSG looking to maximize their total, Arshdeep Singh delivered a wide, full-length ball to the well-set Aiden Markram. Markram sliced the ball high toward the deep point region. Shashank Singh, who had already struggled with a dropped catch earlier in the innings, appeared to be battling a significant crisis of confidence as he tracked the ball.

In what can only be described as a brain fade moment, Shashank completely misjudged the trajectory. Instead of sprinting or diving to intercept the lofted shot, he slowed down, seemingly convinced the ball was sailing comfortably over the ropes. To the horror of the PBKS fans and coaching staff, the ball landed directly on the boundary cushion, well within Shashank’s physical reach had he made a genuine effort.

Arshdeep was visible incensed, throwing his arms up in exasperation as the umpire signalled a six. However, the real story was in the PBKS dugout. The cameras immediately panned to Head Coach Ponting, whose face was a mask of pure frustration. Ponting, a man who redefined fielding standards during his storied career with Australia, was seen shaking his head in utter disbelief at the lack of intent shown on the boundary line. For a strategist who preaches 100% effort, seeing a potential wicket turn into a maximum due to a lack of pursuit was a bitter pill to swallow.

Cricket is a game of intense emotions, but the Punjab Kings camp was quick to shift from frustration to damage control once the final ball was bowled. Despite the mid-game tension, the post-match scenes showcased the strong camaraderie within the squad.

In a heartwarming display of leadership, PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer, affectionately dubbed ‘Sarpanch’ by fans for his community-focused leadership style, was seen approaching a dejected Shashank. Recognizing that the fielder was likely his own harshest critic at that moment, Iyer jokingly used his hands to hide Shashank’s face as they walked past the coaching staff, playfully shielding him from another potential stern look from Ponting.

Even Ponting cooled down once the adrenaline of the match subsided. The legendary Tasmanian was seen hugging Shashank during the post-match handshakes, offering words of encouragement rather than a lecture. While Ponting knows better than anyone that the catches were regulation by international standards, the focus shifted toward keeping the player’s morale high for the remainder of the season. In the high-pressure cauldron of the IPL 2026, PBKS proved that while mistakes on the field are costly, the bond in the dressing room remains their greatest asset.

Boost for energy sector: PM Modi to inaugurate Rs 79,450 crore petrochemical refinery — top things to know

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Rajasthan on Tuesday, where he will dedicate a major refinery-cum-petrochemical complex to the nation. The plant, located at Pachpadra in Balotra, has been developed by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited in partnership with the Rajasthan government. The refinery is set to reduce reliance on energy imports and boost India’s energy and petrochemical landscape.In the joint venture, 74% stake is held by HPCL and 26% is owned by the state government.Spread across a 9 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) capacity, the greenfield refinery-cum-petrochemical complex has been built at a cost of over Rs 79,450 crore. With a petrochemical capacity of 2.4 MMTPA, it will integrate refining and petrochemical production within a single facility.The refinery has been designed to operate at a Nelson Complexity Index of 17.0, with petrochemical yields exceeding 26%, reflecting a high degree of integration and efficiency. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, had earlier this month, approved a revision in the project cost, taking it from Rs 43,129 crore to Rs 79,459 crore. As part of this, HPCL will infuse an additional Rs 8,962 crore, taking its total equity investment to Rs 19,600 crore.The plant is scheduled to begin commercial operations from July 1, 2026, according to an ET report. Once operational, it is expected to produce around 1 MMTPA of petrol and 4 MMTPA of diesel. It will also manufacture polypropylene (1 MMTPA), linear low-density polyethylene (0.5 MMTPA), high-density polyethylene (0.5 MMTPA), and around 0.4 MMTPA of benzene, toluene and butadiene.These products are used in transport, pharmaceuticals, paints and packaging, and are expected to reduce dependence on imports. The project is expected to support industrial expansion in the region, utilise locally available Mangala crude, and support the development of a petrochemical and plastic park.

KKR players cried! Varun Chakravarthy reveals dressing room secret after first IPL 2026 win

KKR spinner Varun Chakravarthy revealed that the first win of IPL 2026 for the Knight Riders led to a flurry of emotions in the dressing room. He claimed that such scenes were not seen even after their title triumph back in IPL 2024.

Kolkata Knight Riders finally broke the shackles in this season of IPL 2026, winning their first games after being winless for over six games into the competition. They defeated the Rajasthan Royals, one of the top competing sides in the competition.

Kolkata earned their first points in the competition, rose a spot to 9th, while the Mumbai Indians dropped to 10th. However, more than a win, this victory would add to the confidence that was surely falling out at one stage for the Knights.

I could see many tears today, which we didn’t even see when we won IPL 2024,” revealed Varun Chakravarthy

Kolkata Knight Riders star spinner Varun Chakravarthy revealed how the entire dressing room was in tears after the franchise finally managed to break their winless streak in the season. KKR secured a narrow victory by a four-wicket margin.

“Very, very significant (the win), I can say to you that I could see many tears today, which we didn’t even see when we won IPL 2024,” Varun Chakravarthy said during the post-match press conference (via iplt20.com)

Varun Chakravarthy added, “We have not been winning, and there are many outside noise that comes and which affects the players. But finally, we turned out on the better side today. We won the match. Yes, there are many places to improve, for sure. Because we started this tournament with many, as in many injuries, and it actually crippled us before even the tournament started.”

“I don’t want to make a sweeping statement and all,” Varun Chakravarthy keeps his excitement under check

The KKR mystery spinner opined that, though he bagged 3 wickets, giving away just 14 runs, he is not too excited about his strong performance. He does not wish to be carried away on his return, and noted conditions play a major role in a spinner’s success.

“Look, just because I have taken three wickets today, I don’t want to make a sweeping statement and all. That’s the nature of the game. Next match, if the wicket has nothing in it, that’s going to happen to every spinner,” Varun Chakravarthy said of his performance.

As you can see, initially, every spinner was travelling. So, that’s how it is. Once the pitches start slowing down, that’s how we start coming into the game, and we start being more effective. So, it’s the nature of the game, and we can’t change it. So, I don’t think much about that,” Varun Chakaravarthy added.

Do the Kolkata Knight Riders stand a chance to qualify for IPL 2026?

KKR have won one match and now have three points after 7 games. They have lost five matches, and with 7 more matches remaining in this edition of the competition, they would have to extend their winning streak to the next six games at least.

Winning at least six of their upcoming seven matches can help KKR secure a spot in the top four, as 15 points is often considered a qualifying tally of points; however, they would have to depend on other teams as well.

Teams like Punjab Kings and RCB have shown such dominance that they seemingly might not lose many games, making it tough for oppositions like KKR. However, speaking statistically, they possess the chance to qualify, but not much when seen from a rational point of view.

Iran war: What is happening on day 52 of the US-Israeli conflict? | Explainer News

Islamabad talks in limbo as Tehran says it will retaliate after US marines capture an Iranian-flagged ship near the Strait of Hormuz.

Published On 20 Apr 2026

Donald Trump announced on Sunday that a second round of US-Iran talks is to be held in Pakistan on Monday – but Tehran has not confirmed participation, two days before a ceasefire deal expires.

The capture by US Marines of an Iranian-flagged container ship near the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday has further clouded the Islamabad talks, as Tehran has pledged to retaliate.

The West Bengal 2026 polls, with All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as main contenders, are shaping up an intense contest in promising better governance. Across party lines, manifestos have become the key tool to engage with voters, with aggressive promises on the aspects of health, education, employment, and social welfare policies.

The Trinamool Congress set an early tone by announcing a monthly assistance of ₹1,500 for youths (aged 21-40). In response, the BJP raised the stakes by promising ₹3,000 per month for unemployed youths. Meanwhile, Congress opted for the middle ground, with a ₹2,000 monthly assistance promise. Interestingly, Communist Party of India (Marxist)-led Left Front, leaned to its social welfare justice plank, offering one permanent job for family and filling up all vacant government posts within five years.

IPL 2026 Gujarat Titans (GT) vs Mumbai Indians (MI) Playing 11, Full Squad, Players List: Hardik Pandya’s Mumbai Indians are up against Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad in the 2026 IPL on Monday. Things are finally clicking for the Titans and they come into the match on the back of a hat-trick of wins. A victory against MI will propel GT into the top four.

MI, on the other hand, are now sitting at the bottom of the table with KKR recording their first win of the season on Sunday. Pandya cut a frustrated figure after their fourth consecutive defeat in their last match, stating that he had no idea why it is that things are not clicking for them after. They were without Rohit Sharma, who has been their most consistent batter this season. While the man who replaced him, Quinton de Kock, ended up scoring a masterful century, MI were forced to bench Trent Boult to include him, replacing the veteran New Zealand pacer with Mayank Rawat. However, the five-time champions ended up not bowling at all in the match. While bowling Paras Mhambrey had said that Rohit was back to batting in the nets, the jury is out on whether he will be deemed fit to play or not.

GT: Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, Glenn Phillips, Washington Sundar, Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan, Rashid Khan, Ashok Sharma, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna
