NEW DELHI: It's unusual to see Jasprit Bumrah without his usual bite in the Powerplay - the toe-crushing yorkers, the rattled stumps, and early breakthroughs that have defined his IPL career. But IPL 2026 has been a rare struggle for the Mumbai Indians spearhead.Bumrah has now gone five matches without picking up a single wicket the longest wicketless streak of his IPL career. His previous longest dry spell came in 2014, when he went four games without a wicket.Bumrahs last five IPL outings:0/40 (4) vs Punjab Kings, Ahmedabad (in 2025)0/35 (4) vs Kolkata Knight Riders, Wankhede0/21 (4) vs Delhi Capitals, Delhi0/32 (3) vs Rajasthan Royals, Guwahati0/35 (4) vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, WankhedeAcross IPL 2026 so far, Bumrah has bowled 90 deliveries (15 overs) and conceded 123 runs without a wicket. That translates to an economy rate of 8.20 - respectable on the surface, but significantly below his usual impact given his role as a strike bowler.In the clash against RCB, Bumrah was expected to lead the charge, but the opposition batters dominated. Half-centuries from Virat Kohli (50), Phil Salt (78) and Rajat Patidar (53) powered Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a daunting 240/4 against Mumbai Indians.For a bowler who has built his reputation on breaking partnerships and delivering under pressure, the numbers highlight an unusual phase. Over his IPL career, Bumrah has been one of the most consistent performers, claiming 183 wickets in 149 matches.TournamentTeamMatchesInnsBallsRunsWicketsIPL (Overall)MI14914934274154183IPL 2026MI44901230IPL 2025MI121228431618IPL 2024MI131331133620IPL 2022MI141432038315IPL 2021MI141433041021IPL 2020/21MI151536040427IPL 2019MI161637040919IPL 2018MI141432437217IPL 2017MI161635644020IPL 2016MI141431240615IPL 2015MI44901843IPL 2014MI11112383015IPL 2013MI2242703

Doug Christie will return for a second full season as coach of the Sacramento Kings despite the team having one of the worst seasons in franchise history.A person familiar with the decision said Sunday that Christie will return next season for the second year of a contract that also has a team option for 2027-28. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team hadn't announced the decision, which The Athletic was first to report.Christie was initially hired on an interim basis after Mike Brown was fired early in the 2024-25 season. Sacramento went 27-24 the rest of the season before getting knocked out in the play-in tournament.The Kings hired Scott Perry as general manager after last season and made the decision to retain Christie. This season didn't go nearly as well, with injuries to key veterans like Domantas Sabonis, Zach LaVine, Keegan Murray and DeAndre Hunter derailing the campaign almost from the start.Sacramento had a league-worst 12-46 record in mid-February following a 16-game losing streak. The team showed some life late in the season, going 10-14 the rest of the way to harm their position in the draft lottery. The Kings finished tied with Utah for the fourth-worst record in the league and have a 45.2% chance of picking in the top four of the draft in June.The 60 losses for Sacramento are the second-most in franchise history, behind the 65 the team had in 2008-09. The Kings have gotten solid contributions from rookies Nique Clifford, Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell, but are hoping for good fortune in the lottery to find a player to build around after the team traded away star De'Aaron Fox last season.The Kings have made the playoffs just once in the past 20 seasons, losing in the first round to Golden State in 2023 in Browns first season as coach.Sacramento has the fourth-worst record in the NBA since Vivek Ranadive took over as owner in 2013. The team has had five lead executives and nine head coaches including interims in that span.___AP NBA: https://apnews.com/nba
