Faf du Plessis says Rishabh Pant needs a clearer and more structured approach in T20 cricket, highlighting inconsistency in his game. He suggests Pant bat at number three for LSG and focus on a defined game plan to improve performance.

Former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis believes Rishabh Pant will face the most pressure in the upcoming IPL season after a difficult campaign last year. Experts also discussed LSG’s spin options and overseas combination ahead of the tournament.

Faf du Plessis believes Sunrisers Hyderabad possess one of the most destructive batting lineups in the IPL but lack clear wicket-taking options. He also backed Abhishek Sharma to overcome his dip in form ahead of TATA IPL 2026.

I think we missed especially Axar on a wicket like that. Axar is that kind of class bowler, international, proven left-arm spinner that on a wicket like that, he would love to bowl in it, he said

"I had been told that he wouldn't be able to play three matches - that's the time he needs to recover - and two matches are done," Axar said after DC's Super Over win against Rajasthan Royals in Delhi on Wednesday night,

DC, currently placed second on the points table, enter the match riding high on back-to-back victories. In contrast, CSK, positioned ninth, return to their home ground following two consecutive defeats. At the toss, Axar revealed that du Plessis, who had scored a half-century in their commanding win against Sunrisers Hyderabad, is unfit for Saturday’s game and has been replaced by Sameer Rizvi in the playing XI.

Ashutosh Sharma walked in as DC's Impact Player with the score 65 for 5 in the seventh over. After the 13th over of the chase, DC were 116 for 6, needing 94 runs off 42 balls with four wickets in hand.

RCB skipper Faf du Plessis (35 off 23) got his team off the blocks before the visitors collapsed to 78 for five.

MLC's debut season brought world-class domestic T20 action to the United States for the first time with most of the matches played in front of sold-out crowds in Texas and North Carolina.

Miller who came to the crease during crucial juncture of the game registered a superb century to ensure South Africa register 212 runs on the score board.
