Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders clash looking to jump up from bottom

With 298 runs in eight innings, at an average and strike rate of 49.67 and 200, respectively, Finn Allen had a stupendous outing in the T20 World Cup earlier this year.

However, the opening batter has been unable to carry on the momentum into this IPL season for KKR, managing just 80 runs in four innings.

“It has been only a couple of games into the tournament, and I don’t think you can judge too much of it. I had good starts in the first two games. Obviously, I would’ve liked to kick on more, but hopefully it’s just around the corner,” he said.

On the flip side, CSK opener Sanju Samson is coming into the fixture in red-hot form on the back of a game-defining century against DC. Asked about the plans against him, Allen, with a smile, said, “Thankfully, I don’t have to bowl to him. So, it’s not too much of my concern.”

#IPL #Support #Chennai #phenomenal #Chennai #Super #Kings #latest #hero #Jamie #Overton"> IPL 2026: Support in Chennai has been phenomenal, says Chennai Super Kings’ latest hero Jamie Overton  After six consecutive losses at home, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) managed to break the streak with a 23-run win over Delhi Capitals (DC) last week.All-rounder Jamie Overton’s four-wicket haul was instrumental in restricting DC to 189 in a 213-run chase.Talking to the media ahead of the game against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Overton was all praise for the Chennai crowd.“Chennai is a fabulous place to come and play. The support we get is phenomenal, and it was nice to finally get a win this season. Hopefully we go on a run from here,” he said.Overton found success bowling hard lengths. All four of his wickets came from bowling length or back-of-length deliveries. The key to his success comes down to adaptability, he says.“Hitting the hard lengths is sort of my natural stuff to do. Last game that’s what worked, but sometimes we’ve got to adapt to the wickets and analyse what suits a certain wicket,” the 32-year-old said.“In the past I’ve bowled a bit short, but I’ve just realised what works and what doesn’t. I’m also trying to bowl a bit fuller to bring the batsman forward, as the wickets are so good nowadays. So, I’m trying to stick with that process,” he added.Like CSK, KKR has also had an underwhelming start to the season, sitting 10th on the points table. One contributing factor is the big names not delivering with the bat.RELATED | Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders clash looking to jump up from bottomWith 298 runs in eight innings, at an average and strike rate of 49.67 and 200, respectively, Finn Allen had a stupendous outing in the T20 World Cup earlier this year.However, the opening batter has been unable to carry on the momentum into this IPL season for KKR, managing just 80 runs in four innings.“It has been only a couple of games into the tournament, and I don’t think you can judge too much of it.

Volleyball revolt: Two Indian players leave camp in Ahmedabad citing multiple issues

“Countries with the most positive tests reported against Minors were (in descending order) Russia, India, and China. Countries with the most sanctioned Minors were Russia, India, and China,” the WADA said in that report.

Subsequently, the country also topped the list of highest number of dope violations for a third successive year.

India returned a positivity rate of 3.6 per cent, accounting for 260 Adverse Analytical Findings (AAF), the highest among all major countries.

Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has repeatedly promised an aggressive crackdown on doping, and while speaking in the Parliament recently he stated that agencies like the CBI are being involved for strengthening NADA’s intelligence and investigative infrastructure.

Earlier this year, India surpassed Kenya to top the Athletics Integrity Unit’s (AIU) list of ineligible persons due to doping violations with 148 suspended track and field athletes, two more than the African nation.

Prominent Indian athletes in the list include women’s 100m national record holder Dutee Chand, who has been serving a four-year suspension since December 2022, middle distance runner Parvej Khan, whose six-year suspension will run till July 2030, and Tamil Nadu sprinter Sekar Dhanalakshmi who was suspended for eight years in 2025.
