CHENNAI: The sixth leg of the Indian Athletics Series 2026 delivered a thrilling afternoon of elite competition at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, with marquee names staking strong claims ahead of the Federation Cup and major international events later this season.

Long Jump Dominance from Sreeshankar

Asian Games silver medallist Murali Sreeshankar stamped his authority in the men’s long jump, claiming gold with a best leap of 8.04m. The Kerala jumper, fresh from a strong domestic season, showed attacking form with three legal efforts, the highlight coming on his fourth jump. Speaking after the competition, Sreeshankar said, “Every competition builds confidence. My focus is on consistency and hitting big marks when it matters.”

Hurdles Thriller: Shirse Edges Past Krishik

In a nail-biting finish, national record holder Tejas Shirse clinched the men’s 110m hurdles in 13.43 seconds, narrowly fending off teammate M Krishik, who clocked 13.44s. Shirse, returning to top form after injury setbacks earlier in the season, described the race as “a tough battle but the perfect test before bigger meets.”

Supporting Highlights Across the Track and Field

Santhosh Kumar T. won the men’s 400m hurdles in 49.47s, with all three medalists dipping under 50 seconds.

In sprints, Pranav Pramod took the 100m in 10.32s, while Rajesh Ramesh claimed the 200m in 21.23s.

Aadarsh Ram impressed in the high jump, clearing 2.27m for top honours.

In technical events, Praveen Chithravel secured the triple jump with 16.95m.

The meet’s results reflect the rising standards in Indian athletics, with several performances inching close to key qualification marks for upcoming international championships. Athletes and coaches are now turning their focus to the Federation Cup, the next major domestic test on the calendar.

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated the Mumbai Indians in a thriller at Raipur. The defending champions looked dead and buried at one stage in their chase, but Krunal Pandya rose to the occasion and guided his team with a magnificent knock of 73 runs in 46 balls.

After his match-winning knock, an emotional Krunal Pandya shared a long hug with MI batting coach Kieron Pollard. The duo were part of multiple title-winning teams with the Mumbai Indians in the past.

The southpaw reflected on his MI days and the close bonds he created with the franchise during his six-year stay. He said his six years at MI were the best phase of his IPL career and highlighted the strong bond within the Pandya-Pollard core, which also includes his brother Hardik Pandya.

"Polly (Kieron Pollard) is my big brother. I had my best six years at MI. Kieron Pollard and the Pandya brothers were the engine room. It was obviously emotional, and I obviously love Kieron Pollard and a terrific human being. GOAT of this format and won so many trophies and games. And as he says, you can`t keep a good man down," Krunal said during the post-match presentations.

Krunal said he enjoyed the high-pressure situations and was happy to contribute to the team`s win, despite not finishing the game himself.

"I obviously love tough situations, and I always prepare and look forward to those. Obviously wanted to finish the game, but I was not able to do it. The shot that Bhuvi played was the shot of the match. It was a wicket where you have to play cricketing shots. Not the kind of wicket where you line up the bowlers." Krunal added.

RCB`s win meant the end of MI in IPL 2026

RCB maintained their composure in the last over, with Krunal Pandya`s fifty anchoring the chase and Bhuvneshwar`s late six clinching the victory, despite Corbin Bosch`s outstanding four-wicket haul.

Tilak Varma and Naman Dhir`s partnership helped MI recover from an early collapse as the visitors finished with 166 runs on the board.

With this victory, RCB surged to the top of the standings with seven wins in 11 games, while MI`s chances of making the playoffs were over as they finished ninth with just three victories.

Rajasthan Royals stand-in captain Yashasvi Jaiswal backed his struggling bowling unit and refused to single out individuals after the side slumped to a crushing 77-run defeat against the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday.

Rajasthan were completely outplayed after Gujarat piled up 229/4 on the back of a dominant opening partnership between Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill before Rashid Khan ripped through the chase with a four-wicket haul.

Reflecting on how difficult it became once Gujarat’s openers settled in, Jaiswal admitted Rajasthan struggled to contain the flow of boundaries.

“We were just thinking to bowl in good areas and they were batting pretty well. So we were just thinking how we can cut down the boundaries or big shots. So I think it was pretty good from them,” Jaiswal said after the match.

The Royals were under pressure from the outset, as Sudharsan and Gill attacked aggressively during the powerplay and maintained momentum through the middle overs. Rajasthan’s pace attack, including Jofra Archer, failed to build pressure consistently on a batting-friendly Jaipur surface.

Archer, who has been among Rajasthan’s key bowlers this season, endured a rare off day and went wicketless while conceding heavily. However, Jaiswal firmly defended the England quick and said poor outings are part of the game.

“It’s cricket. We all know that there’s some days where you are in, there’s some days where you cannot bowl how you want. But he’s been doing so well for us, I think. So I think he’ll be coming back very strongly,” he said.

Rajasthan’s bowling combination had also drawn attention before the match after the franchise opted to leave out left-arm pacer Nandre Burger. Asked whether that was a difficult selection decision, Jaiswal said the management simply focused on the bowling plans for the powerplay.

“I actually didn’t think that much. I had simple plan who is my bowler and who can give me some good overs in the powerplay. So nothing much from my end,” Jaiswal stated.

Despite the heavy defeat, Rajasthan briefly threatened to pull off a remarkable chase after teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi blasted 36 off 16 balls and Dhruv Jurel smashed 24 off 10 deliveries in a fiery powerplay.

The hosts raced to 78/3 in six overs before Gujarat’s spin attack turned the game completely. Rashid dismissed Jurel and later removed Ravindra Jadeja and others as Rajasthan collapsed from a promising position to 152 all out in 16.3 overs.

Jaiswal, however, chose not to dwell too much on the defeat and instead stressed the importance of learning quickly before the next fixture.

“Nothing much. I think we are going to look what we can do better and just look for the next game, what we can do and learn from this game,” he said.

The defeat dealt a significant blow to Rajasthan’s net run rate, while Gujarat strengthened their position in the playoff race with one of their most complete performances of the season.

Gujarat Titans batting coach Matthew Hayden believes they possess a destructive bowling attack and are loaded with "apex predators" at the top of the order, with the side beginning to peak at the right time in the Indian Premier League. The Titans have won four matches on the trot, including a 77-run victory over Rajasthan Royals here on Saturday, to move into second spot as the race for playoff intensifies.

"It is a very good team. It is a dangerous bowling side, and that is what we have seen tonight. It can be a very destructive bowling side. "We have just got so many apex predators at the top of the batting order, that one, two, three is such a solid unit," Hayden said at the post-match press conference.

The Titans` also boast of a varied bowling attack that includes the likes of Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Rashid Khan, Jason Holder, Prasidh Krishna, Washington Sundar and Sai Kishore. "We did not even play Prasidh Krishna, another international player. We have got versatility as a side, and saw tonight with Sai Kishore. And we are starting to play with great confidence."

"Tonight was actually the first game as a coach that I thought like we put all of those departments together really nicely so this win away from home was an important win for us," he added. In the era of brutal power-hitting, GT have charted their own formula for success, relying on their top three of skipper Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler to do the heavy lifting.

"Gujarat Titans have gone about this tournament their own way. They have constructed a line-up that revolves around consistency. Not exactly going to set the world on fire with star power." Against RR, openers Sudharsan and Gill laid the platform for a huge total of 229/4 with a 118-run opening stand before Rahul Tewatia blazed his way to 14 off four balls. The Australian batting great feels teams chasing targets in excess of 200 need to bat deeper, which the GT top 3 have managed to do.

"Well, tonight was a good example, right, of an exciting young talent in Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. He batted, got 30 runs at a strike rate of 300. "But when you`re chasing 220 odd, you need to bat longer and deeper. So the advantage that we have is that we get players, like the top three that you mentioned, who are striking at 150."

"As a batter, that is really hard, and they`re doing it for a long period of time, they`re constantly getting into the back half of the game, not just batting inside the powerplay. They`re going right through with their fitness and their ability to be able to really play Test match-type cricket, and ODI cricket in particular."
