Mumbai Indians suffered their sixth loss of IPL 2026 as they slumped to a 6-wicket defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Mumbai on Wednesday.

It's been a long time coming since the glory days of Big Ben

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has taken IPL 2026 by storm, playing fearless cricket against some of the worlds best bowlers and currently leading the Orange Cap race with 400 runs. Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes the teenagers audacious approach signals an exciting shift in Indian cricket, where young players are no longer intimidated by big names or reputations.Australian pacers have long been known for their dominance, built on pace, precision, and relentless hard lengths. But Sooryavanshi has approached them with remarkable confidence, taking on the likes of Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins right from the outset. From hitting a first-ball six off Jasprit Bumrah, to taking on Trent Boult, and the same audacity against Cummins and then dismantling Hazlewood with a sequence of 4, 4, 4, 6 in an over, Sooryavanshi has shown no hesitation in attacking some of the finest bowlers of the modern era.Pathans comments come amid a wave of emerging talent making an immediate impact at the highest level, reflecting a mindset where age and experience are no longer barriers.It's an exciting time for Indian cricket. The way they play fearless cricket, and you know, they don't worry about anything. They don't worry about getting out. They don't worry about, you know, who's bowling in front of them. A 15-year-old boy (Sooryavanshi) goes and smacks one of Australia's best fast bowlers. So, there is no better side, you know, in cricket at the moment, especially from the Indian side, Pathan told IANS on the sidelines of the EUT20 Belgium jersey launch event.And Sooryavanshi isnt just attacking top bowlers - hes dismissing reputations. Against a roll call of elite names, there are no sighters, no respect for pedigree, just instant intent. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was hit for four off the very first ball he bowled to him, while Arshdeep Singh was greeted with 6, 4, 4 in his very first over. Even the craft of Sunil Narine and Sirajs pace did not stop him - both were taken on almost immediately. And when Ferguson came steaming in the other night, Sooryavanshi reeled off 4, 4, 6 in his opening burst.And overall, among all the bowlers he has faced in the IPL so far, the reading looks even more impressive. Only against Mohsin Khan and Narine has Sooryavanshi been unable to break the shackles, while Rashid Khan and Prasidh Krishna have had a more balanced outing against the young Turk.

Algeria have been hit with a significant injury scare ahead of the 2026 World Cup, with goalkeeper Luca Zidane emerging as a major doubt for the tournament. The Granada shot-stopper, son of France legend Zinedine Zidane, suffered a serious facial injury during a Spanish second-division clash against Almeria on Sunday. Disaster strikes in Segunda Divisin clash The 27-year-old goalkeeper was forced off the pitch following a heavy collision with Almeria striker Thalys, which initially left him with a concussion. However, subsequent medical evaluations have painted a much bleaker picture for the former Real Madrid man as he prepares for the biggest summer of his career. Granada confirmed the extent of the damage in an official club statement, which read: "Medical tests carried out have revealed that the goalkeeper has also suffered a fracture to his jaw and chin." The injury is expected to rule him out for the remainder of the domestic season, leaving his international aspirations hanging by a thread. World Cup dreams in jeopardy The timing could not have been worse for Zidane, who has recently established himself as a key figure for the Fennecs. Algeria are scheduled to begin their World Cup campaign on June 16 against reigning world champions Argentina in Kansas City, leaving the goalkeeper with a race against time to prove his fitness. Having officially switched allegiance from France to Algerialast year, the Marseille-born star had been "ready to give everything" for the country of his paternal grandparents. Now, his participation depends on his recovery speed and a looming decision on surgical intervention. Surgery looms for Granada star Granada and Zidane are currently weighing up the next steps, with surgery likely to extend his period on the sidelines significantly and almost certainly rule him out of the summer festivities. The club added: "The player, in consultation with the club's medical staff, will decide in the coming hours on the course of treatment to be followed for his injury." Petkovic faces goalkeeper headache Algeria head coach Vladimir Petkovic will be watching the situation closely, as Zidane had started four of the nation's five games during the last Africa Cup of Nations. The goalkeeper also played the full 90 minutes in a recent goalless draw against Uruguay, solidifying his status as a regular for the national team. If Zidane is unable to recover in time for the trip to North America, Petkovic will have to look elsewhere for experience between the sticks. For Zidane, who has spent the majority of his career forging his own path in the Spanish second tier, missing out on the world stage would be a cruel blow after finally stepping out from the shadow of his famous father.
