IPL 2026: PBKS not too worried after first loss; Sangakkara satisfied with RR’s win on the road <div id="content-body-70919068" itemprop="articleBody"><p>Punjab Kings’ (PBKS) first loss in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 after seven games is a reality check, but there’s no doom and gloom in the dressing room, fast bowling coach James Hopes said after the loss against Rajasthan Royals here at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium on Tuesday.</p><p>“We’ve been flying, winning games, everyone’s happy, the environment is great. But you’re not going to go through the IPL without losing a game,” Hopes told the media post the six-wicket defeat while defending a 222-run total.</p><p>“Now it’s about regrouping. We’ve got a few days before we play GT (Gujarat Titans), so it’s about getting back to work, training well, ironing out a few chinks, and figuring out the best combinations for the conditions and opposition ahead,” he added.</p><p>PBKS bowlers have conceded five 200-plus scores and a 195 against the Mumbai Indians (MI)out of their seven completed matches so far this season. The team’s economy rate is 10.50 – second-worst after MI’s 10.52. However, Hopes said the conditions this season have been hard for the bowlers.</p><p>“Yes, we are conceding runs. But when we’ve had pitches that suit us, we’ve been just fine. I’m not saying this wicket didn’t suit our bowling attack; I’m just saying it was very good – flat, and the ball was flying around,” he said.</p><p>“There are things we can tidy up, but with the way the game is played now, especially in the first six overs, it’s hard for fast bowlers,” Hopes added.</p><p>The Australian was glad to have Lockie Ferguson, who joined the squad late due to paternity leave, back in the mix. Although Ferguson conceded 57 runs in his four overs, Hopes didn’t look too deeply into it.</p><p>“It was also good to see Lockie Ferguson get into the tournament. It may not have been his night, but he was always going to play at some point,” he explained.</p><p>“He’s just come back, was with us in Delhi, and was ready to go. He’s coming off the World Cup and a short series against South Africa,” Hopes said.</p><p>Royals’ head coach Kumar Sangakkara was all praise for Shubham Dubey (31 not out off 12 balls) and Donovan Ferreira (52 not out off 26 balls), who helped the team finish the chase with four balls to spare.</p><p>“I thought Dubey, coming in as an Impact Sub, did a fantastic job. It’s one of the hardest things to do because you don’t know if you’re playing or not. Mentally, that takes a lot of skill to stay ready, come in at a tough stage, and take the game forward. Donovan was outstanding,” Sangakkara, who is also Director of Cricket at RR, said.</p><p>He also acknowledged fast bowler Brijesh Sharma’s spell, who conceded just 18 in his first three overs before Marcus Stoinis hit him for 24 in the final over of the innings. “Brijesh’s numbers through the middle overs have been among the best on our side. For someone who hasn’t even played First-Class cricket, his awareness is outstanding, and that’s what you have to trust.”</p><p>“Under pressure, experience becomes important, and you grow with it. But more than anything, you need clarity and not to overthink what could happen. Stoinis put him under pressure in that last over, but Brijesh, along with Yash Punja and Ravindra Jadeja, on a wicket like this, were outstanding,” Sangakkara said.</p><p class="publish-time" id="end-of-article">Published on Apr 29, 2026</p></div> #IPL #PBKS #worried #loss #Sangakkara #satisfied #RRs #win #road

“Hammond, Indiana. Okay. If you’ve been to Soldier Field and you’ve been on the lakefront and you are somebody that is a romantic like myself, that’s where football should be played, on the lakefront right in front of those giant skyscrapers, right next to that big, beautiful park with the best coach in football, with one of the best young quarterback. But that ain’t happening. Grow up, Peter Pan. I’m talking to myself. Grow up, Peter Pan.”

“That ain’t happening. Okay. Arlington Heights. One of the most state-of-the-art beautiful property in the north suburbs. Arlington Heights. I don’t know if you’ve ever been there, but they have a racetrack that they demolished there that I said, ‘Oh, it’s a no-brainer. They would never knock down something of such historical significance to Chicago.‘ Well, it didn’t work. Hammond, Indiana is happening. Okay, now let’s let’s not play doom and gloom. Let’s do a little mental health check in and say, what are the positives here? The positives are it’s closer to downtown. It’s closer to downtown than Arlington Heights would be. It’s in fact 30 minutes closer to downtown than where the Bears training facility is on the north side in Lake Forest where I lived. You get the unique opportunity. It’s almost like I’m going to use the phrase, I don’t fully understand it, but I’m going to use the phrase manifest destiny. Okay? Remember when people were just moving west and they’re like, I’m going to put a flag down here.”

“This looks like a nice little hill. This is my hill. I’m going to call it Johnny’s Hill. You know, like I think about all the it’s the American dream. Well, you know what? It didn’t work out in Chicago. So, just follow that coast south down to Hammond, Indiana. And I can promise you this, if they do it the right way, like a number of these teams have done, you get the opportunity to have a state-of-the-art venue for anything that you want. You get the opportunity to own your stadium and the land around it outright. You get to make it exactly how you want to make it. And I’ve heard a lot of things about Hammond, Indiana. More often than not, not good things. But I can guarantee you this. There are people, there are kids, there are generations of Bears fans that are down there that are so excited to welcome you and show you that area with open arms and you get to make it yours.”

“Now, I know that’s a slap in the face to a lot of people, including myself, but it’s time to get to the next level. And they can do that there. Winning to me, what does success look like to me? It looks like a quarterback that’s on schedule in first and second down and continues to do what he does on third down and in the fourth quarter. I think building a defense that can stop the run and rush the passer on third down and got to have it rush downs. That would be great. I think everything is moving in the right direction and I think this Hammond, Indiana thing is a unique opportunity for the Bears to really take the next step.”

“I remember when St. Louis moved to LA, and granted, it was a lot more miles for that move. They become a serious contender overnight and the Bears already are a serious contender. So imagine what happens if you pump some caffeine into that.”
