TRAVIS HEAD'S WIFE ON THE ABUSE IN SOCIAL MEDIA: [The Advertiser] "It feels like a repeat of the abuse that happened after the World Cup. I woke up to my socials blasting - we are fine but they are attacking my friends & family - I think across all sports at the moment there’s an important conversation around mental health, perspective and the way we speak to one another. Passion will always be part of sport, but so is remembering there are real people and families behind the game. Hopefully this encourages more kindness and support for one another".
Terrible terrible news for the cricket community. SL Akshay, 39, a fast bowler, whom I saw from close quarters from his U19 days has passed away today while playing a division match. Just don’t have words to express my grief. A soft spoken guy who played for Karnataka in 2011/12 with decent success, is no more. RIP Akshay. ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕುಟುಂಬಕ್ಕೆ ಈ ನೋವನ್ನ ಸಹಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳೋ ಶಕ್ತಿ ಆ ಭಗವಂತ ನೀಡಲಿ ಎಂದಷ್ಟೇ ಕೇಳಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬಲ್ಲೆ 😭🙏🏻 #SLAkshay
Well done to the 4 playoff teams - RCB, GT, SRH and Royals. I got just one team right in my pre tournament prediction. I highly doubt anyone would have guessed these 4 teams. Shows how amazing this tournament is. So hard to make playoffs. Good luck to all four !! #IPL2026
Shreyas Iyer's hundred on Saturday night kept Punjab Kings in the hunt. Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya are building on it in another city on another day for another team and against another opponent to help PBKS make it to IPL Playoffs
