“ He Has A Dream To Represent India At The ODI World Cup And Also Has The Ability ‘ – Cheteshwar Pujara
TATA IPL 2026 Live Today Match DC Vs KKR is Streaming on JioHotstar
Lucknow Super Giants snapped their six-match losing streak in the TATA IPL 2026 to overcome Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Revenge Week fixture. Speaking on JioHotstar’s ‘Google Search AI Mode Match Centre Live’, JioStar experts Mitchell McClenaghan, Cheteshwar Pujara, Aakash Chopra and Irfan Pathan shared their thoughts on Prince Yadav’s match-winning performance and Mitchell Marsh’s knock, while also looking ahead to the DC-KKR match.
Speaking on JioHotstar’s ‘Google Search AI Mode Match Centre Live’, JioStar expert Mitchell McClenaghan explained Prince Yadav’s wicket ball to Virat Kohli:
“It was a divine delivery. He wasn’t trying to swing the ball in. He just hit the seam. It just swung in enough off the seam to beat Virat. After that, Padikkal was a big wicket as well. He has been in exceptional form and, just to be able to tighten him up slightly on that line, was crucial. He was searching for that ball on the hip to play the pull shot. We’ve seen Jitesh Sharma get out this way in this tournament so far, quite regularly, and that’s great execution. There would have been a plan before the game to make sure that they tested him upstairs with a short ball, but you’ve still got to be able to execute it, and the little extra pace that he possesses was able to get the job done.”
Speaking on JioHotstar’s ‘Google Search AI Mode Match Centre Live’, JioStar expert Cheteshwar Pujara lauded Prince Yadav:
“Not just this season, even last season, he impressed a lot. He bowls in all phases of the game, often in pressure situations. Even in this game, he gave away just two runs in an over and took a couple of wickets. He is talented, and that World Cup dream he was talking about, I am sure, will not be far from reality. Yes, he has the dream to represent India at the World Cup, but he also has the ability. It’s important to focus on following the right process and keep improving, like he has done from last year to this season.”
Speaking on JioHotstar’s ‘Google Search AI Mode Match Centre Live’, JioStar expert Aakash Chopra hailed centurion Mitchell Marsh’s power-hitting:
“Marsh is the only batter in this entire LSG setup who has batted at the same position throughout the tournament. Everybody else has been moved around. He’s got the strength. He’s a very different kind of opener. He’s tall and has long levers and, therefore, goes downtown. The moment you start hitting fast bowlers over their heads and into the stands, where do you actually bowl to him? You can’t bowl short to him because he’s brilliant square of the wicket, and the way he took down Josh Hazlewood was phenomenal. It’s twice in two games now that Josh has leaked a lot of runs. First, it was Shubman Gill, who took him down in Ahmedabad and this time, it was Mitchell Marsh. RCB have also lost two on the bounce, so there is a correlation because if he goes for runs, then there are problems.”
Speaking on JioHotstar’s ‘Google Search AI Mode Match Centre Live’, JioStar expert Irfan Pathan suggested changes for DC ahead of their must-win clash against KKR:
“I think Miller should come in. Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Mitchell Starc and Lungi Ngidi would be my four overseas players, and I would find a way to either play Prithvi Shaw or Porel at the top. Porel hasn’t done anything wrong. He will also give you a left-handed option at the top. So, you play whoever is doing well in the nets and gives you confidence, but you must play your best overseas combination, players who are match-winners, because it is a must-win game for you now.”
