IPL 2026: Virat Kohli gives update on his injury following RCB’s win over LSG Virat Kohli on Wednesday said he was satisfied with his intensity and approach despite not being at full fitness as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) registered a comfortable five-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match here.Kohli struck a 34-ball 49 to set up RCB’s chase of 146, which it completed in just over 15 overs.“Much better than the last game. I’m still not 100 per cent. My knee was a bit sore last game. Even health-wise, I’ve been under the weather for four or five days now. So, just getting back up to my best,” Kohli said after the match.The former India captain was seen training with his left knee heavily strapped ahead of the game at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.Kohli hit six fours and a six to take his tally to 228 runs in the tournament at an average of 57, claiming the Orange Cap.“I started off well today, so I was happy with my intensity. Again, would have liked to carry on and finish the game off. Sometimes, you have to take the conditions into account as well.“The pitch slowed down considerably, and I just wanted to probably keep going in the same manner. But, yeah, in the end, should have probably finished that one off as well.”RCB skipper Rajat Patidar continued his aggressive form with a 13-ball 27, earning praise from Kohli for his clarity and intent.“We have our KPIs as a batting unit, and it says Rajat (Patidar) to go in and assess the situation. I always tell him, you’re probably looking to assess the bowler’s heart rate rather than the situation… I mean, incredible clarity,” the former India captain said.“The way our management has stacked up the team allows us to play in a certain way. I have to adapt my role accordingly. It allows me to play a certain way up front with Salty (Phil Salt), so we pass on the baton nicely.“The freedom of having Romario (Shepherd) and Tim (David)… KP (Krunal Pandya)hasn’t even batted yet. We’re sitting on a batting unit that’s explosive and getting the job done. It looks intimidating if you have Romario and Tim walking in, even after five down. These guys can get you 50 runs in four overs… that gives all of us a lot of freedom.”Reflecting on the changing demands of T20 cricket, Kohli said adaptability will be crucial as the tournament progresses.“Well, it depends on the situation and the condition as well for me. Not all games are going to be 230, 240…the demands of the modern game are pretty different, but you always have to keep an eye out on the situation and when people play under pressure,” he said.Published on Apr 16, 2026 #IPL #Virat #Kohli #update #injury #RCBs #win #LSG

16 teams advanced to the Super Regionals, but only eight will continue on to Omaha and the Men’s College World Series.

And for the second year in a row, the eight teams that move on to the Men’s College World Series will be completely different than the eight teams that advanced last season. Coastal Carolina, Arizona, Oregon State, Louisville, UCLA, Murray State, Arkansas, and LSU were the eight teams that advanced last year, but none of those teams will be headed to Omaha.

That means a completely new field, and a new national champion.

We’ll be tracking the teams that advance all weekend long.

The Mountaineers became the first team to punch their ticket to Omaha, dispatching Cal Poly in a two-game sweep at home in Morgantown. The West Virginia bats were red-hot in those two games, as they pushed 12 runs across the plate in Game 1 and followed that with a 17-run outburst against Cal Poly on Saturday, taking Game 2 by a final of 17-1 to punch their ticket to the Men’s College World Series.

And while the bats were part of the story, they did not tell the complete tale. After getting a career-high 11 strikeouts from Friday starter Chasen Cole, West Virginia coach Steve Sabins handed the ball to Maxx Yehl, the Big 12 Pitcher of the Year, for the start on Saturday.

All he did was pitch five near-perfect innings, allowing four hits and one run while striking out four.

West Virginia and its fans had to wait a little to celebrate, due to a lightning delay in the eighth inning. But eventually the sky cleared, and the Mountaineers closed out Cal Poly.

And now, the Mountaineers are headed to Omaha for the first time in program history.

Troy began the year with a pair of losses to Mercer and hovered around .500 for most of the season. Its year included both a four-game losing streak and a three-game losing streak in March alone. And when Troy finished the year with 29 losses, yet were named an at-large team to the NCAA tournament, many wondered if they belonged.

Yet all they did was win the Gainesville regional – despite dropping their opener against Miami – and now thanks to a sweep against fellow Cinderella Little Rock, the Trojans are heading to Omaha for the first time in program history.

The Trojans’ 32-29 regular season record does merit some context, as Troy faced one of the toughest schedules in the nation. That paid off once they arrived in Gainesville, as Troy beat Florida, the top seed in the regional and the No. 8 overall seed in the nation, twice to advance to the Super Regionals for the first time in school history.

And now they are headed to the Men’s College World Series for the first time.

Something else that paid off for the Trojans? The bat of designated hitter Jabe Boroff. The slugger caught fire as Troy closed out the regional, hitting four home runs in the final three games in Gainesville. And he blasted a pair of home runs in Game 1 against Little Rock, helping the Trojans take the first game of the series.

To put his recent form in perspective, he had five home runs and 14 RBI over 27 regular season and Ohio Valley Conference games.

So far over six NCAA tournament games, he has six home runs and 18 RBI.

Now we get to see what he, and the rest of the Trojans, do in Omaha.

The third team to book a trip to Omaha? That would be Ole Miss. After knocking off Auburn 6-4 on Friday, Ole Miss punched their ticket to the Men’s College World Series with a 5-3 win over the Tigers on Saturday.

And what a thrilling win it was.

With the game tied at 2-2 in the bottom of the eighth, Ole Miss pushed three runs across the plate to take a 5-2 lead, with the damage coming via back-to-back jacks.

Will Furniss got the homer party started with this two-run shot to stake Ole Miss to a 5-3 lead:

Then before the celebration quieted down, Tristan Bissetta did this:

Auburn tacked on a run in the ninth and even got the tying run to the plate in the inning, but Ole Miss closed it out to move on to Omaha.
