Two wins on the bounce and the Lucknow Super Giants are carrying serious momentum into Match 19 of IPL 2026 — but Shubman Gill and Gujarat Titans are walking into the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium with something to prove.

Few voices carry as much IPL credibility as Kieron Pollard’s.

Josh Hazlewood is the bowler RCB back to make things happen in the powerplay — and he is not on the field for Match 20 of IPL 2026 at Wankhede Stadium. His absence against Mumbai Indians is not a minor rotation call; it leaves a visible gap in an attack that was already being tested … Read more
