IPL 2026: Everyone Got A Taste Of The Maturity He Has With The Bat, Says PBKS' Haddin On Connolly

Chennai Super Kings: Punjab Kings assistant coach Brad Haddin said young batting all-rounder Cooper Connolly showed remarkable maturity in his debut IPL outing, as the side prepares to face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday. Connolly struck an unbeaten 72 off 44 balls and held his nerve in a chase of 163 after PBKS suffered a middle-order wobble against Gujarat Titans in New Chandigarh. Weve known about Cooper Connolly in Australia for some time. We were pretty keen to get him early in the auction and spoke early in our preparation about bringing him in before everyone could get a real look at how good he was. I think everyone got a taste of the maturity he has with the bat and saw the way he controlled the innings in the first game. It was his first IPL game under pressure with things going on around him, but weve known about that ability for a long time, and I think everyone got the opportunity to see his skills, said Haddin in the pre-match press conference. Haddin also provided a fitness update on skipper Shreyas Iyer, who injured his hand in the previous match after being hit by a shot from Connolly. Theres no break (in the bone), which is a good thing. Now its just about getting the swelling down and getting the movement back in the hand, so he should be right for tomorrow, he said. Haddin said PBKS had worked hard in the preparation period to build flexibility in their squad and adapt to varying pitches. Weve got great flexibility in our squad. Weve spent a lot of time over the last two years trying to get that balance right so we can cover different surfaces in the IPL. On assessing the conditions at Chepauk, where the pitchs nature is flat, Haddin said, Well look at all the numbers around the surface here. Theres a lot of data on how it plays and whether you need to play an extra spinner. The wicket has become a bit flatter over time, and theres more grass on it at the moment than weve seen previously, so well probably make a judgment call after training today. But as I said before, were very lucky with the flexibility in our squad, so were not too worried about what surface well get. On pacer Xavier Bartletts progress, Haddin noted his evolution as both a bowler and lower-order batter. If you look closely at Xavier Bartletts game, hes improved a lot over the last 12 months. The wicket has become a bit flatter over time, and theres more grass on it at the moment than weve seen previously, so well probably make a judgment call after training today. But as I said before, were very lucky with the flexibility in our squad, so were not too worried about what surface well get. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Haddin signed off by saying PBKS was happy to get off the mark in the tournament with a win. Were very happy. Its important to get your tournament started in the right way. Theres room for improvement in what we did in the first game, but were very pleased with the way the game panned out in the end.

IPL 2026: Rabada Must Rediscover Yorker To Succeed In Death Over Bowling, Opines Rayudu

New Delhi: Former India batter Ambati Rayudu believes Kagiso Rabada must rediscover his skill of bowling the yorker in order to regain effectiveness of bowling in the death overs in IPL 2026. Rabada, who won the purple cap in IPL 2020, has struggled in recent seasons - taking only 20 wickets in 21 matches in the last three editions. He began this season with figures of 1-34 in three overs for Gujarat Titans, who lost to Punjab Kings by three wickets in New Chandigarh. I think one thing we have noticed over the years about Rabada, you know, as you Dale Steyn) also used to bowl that cross-seam sort of an outswinger, a baseball sort of a thing, and he used to bowl a very good yorker early on when he was bowling seam-up. But has he started bowling too much of that cross-seam? He lost his yorker. I think that's the reason why we are seeing him not bowl so well in the death. But initially, he used to bowl really well in the death when he just started. Maybe that's something that he can get back into his game, said Rayudu on ESPNCricinfo. Steyn, the former South Africa pacer, felt saying Rabada was searching a little bit for wickets and had kind of lost that yorker a little bit in recent years. He also compared Rabadas trajectory with Marco Jansen, who returned with figures of 1-20 for PBKS in the same game. He had fantastic yorker and then there was a season or period where the South African bowling line-up kind of went back of a length and crossed the seam, and I think that's where he kind of lost that yorker a little bit, whereas Marco doesn't bowl a lot of yorkers, he uses a lot more variations. Steyn, the former South Africa pacer, felt saying Rabada was searching a little bit for wickets and had kind of lost that yorker a little bit in recent years.

Grew Up Watching Shaun Marsh, Honour To Play For PBKS He Did: Connolly

Debutant Cooper Connolly: Debutant Cooper Connolly described his match-winning outing for Punjab Kings as a special moment after guiding his side to a three-wicket win over Gujarat Titans in their IPL 2026 opener in New Chandigarh on Tuesday and said that it was an 'honour' to represent the same franchise as his idol Shaun Marsh. Connolly, who struck an unbeaten 72 off 44 balls, held his nerve in a tense chase of 163 after Punjab suffered a middle-order collapse. Having shared a 76-run stand with Prabhsimran Singh (37), the Australian all-rounder anchored the innings even as wickets fell in clusters, eventually steering the side home with five balls to spare. Reflecting on his debut and the opportunity to represent Punjab, Connolly said it carried personal significance. Shaun Marsh played for the Punjab Kings and I grew up watching him. It's sort of an honour to sort of play for the same franchise as him, and looking forward to the next game and looking forward as a team, he said in a video shared by IPL, adding that getting off to a winning start made the experience even more memorable. It's always nice to get the first win for the team on the board, but just super excited to spend some time out there and sort of start the season off with a win for Punjab and looking forward to the rest of the tournament, he added. The 22-year-old also spoke about the magnitude of the IPL stage, having been picked up at the auction earlier this year. You want to be a part of the biggest competitions in the world and IPL is certainly up there. It was just nice to, during the auction, get picked up and come in here with just an open mind and trying to learn and just trying to get better, he noted. Punjabs chase had appeared straightforward at 97/1 before Prasidh Krishna triggered a collapse, dismissing key batters including Shreyas Iyer, Nehal Wadhera, and Marcus Stoinis. However, Connolly remained composed, bringing up his maiden IPL fifty in just 34 balls and finishing the chase alongside Xavier Bartlett.

IPL 2026: PBKS Captain Shreyas Fined 12 Lakh For Slow Over-rate Offence

New International Cricket Stadium: Punjab Kings (PBKS) captain Shreyas Iyer has been fined after his team fell behind the required over-rate during the fourth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the New International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh. PBKS defeated the 2022 champions by three wickets after chasing down a 163-run target in 19.1 overs. While the Shubman Gill-led side posed as a threat and kept adding pressure, Cooper Connollys unbeaten 44-ball 72-run knock sealed the deal for the Punjab-based franchise as they opened their campaign on a high. However, Iyer faced repercussions for maintaining a slow over-rate in the first innings, resulting in a breach of the IPLs code of conduct. Punjab Kings (PBKS) Captain Shreyas Iyer has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate against Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 4 at the New International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh. As this was his teams first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPLs Code of Conduct, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences, Iyer was fined Rs. 12 lakhs, IPL said in a statement. Making his debut, Connolly anchored the innings with a superb knock. After an early setback, Prabhsimran Singh counterattacked with 37, sharing a 76-run stand with Connolly. Despite a middle-order collapse triggered by Prasidh Krishna, Connolly held his nerve to guide Punjab home with five balls remaining.
