For the first time in the history of IPL, a bowling pair bowled in the entire powerplay - five games in a row during the GT vs SRH fixture at Ahmedabad on Tuesday. This shows how deadly, and lethal Mohammad Siraj and Kagiso Rabada have been in IPL 2026 dominated by the top-order batters. The pair have evolved into the league's most prolific new-ball bowling pair, with GT claiming 25 wickets during the powerplay. They have struck every 17.2 balls in the first 6 overs; Rabada's 16 wickets in this phase are the joint second-most by a bowler in an IPL season. In a wicket tailor-made for the tall fast bowlers in Ahmedabad, Rabada and Siraj consistently hit the hard lengths and ripped through the SRH batting lineup. At the end of the powerplay, their score was 34 for 4 with Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head and Ishan Kishan back in the dugout early. GT bowlers have bowled on good and back-of-length areas 84.3% of the time in the powerplay, which is the league's highest among all the teams. And against the destructive SRH top-order, the same skillset reaped the rewards. Siraj opened the first over with one swinging away, then another from the good-length, and on the 4th ball, he swung one into the pads of Head, who could only manage a top-edge into the hands of Nishant Sindhu at deep backward point. A wicket maiden from Siraj set the tone, and also the template for Kagiso Rabada to test Abhishek Sharma from the same length in the second over. Rabada pitched the first delivery up front, and Sharma lofted him for a six over long-off. But in the second, the South African returned to his usual length, and off the 4th delivery, Abhishek was cramped for room off a back of length delivery despite moving from the stumps and dragged the ball into the wicket. Rabada then went on to pluck out Ishan Kishan in his next over from yet another hard-length delivery that, after pitching, moved away from the SRHs wicketkeeper-batter, who could only manage to chase it and edge to Jos Buttler behind the stumps. At the end of the powerplay overs, SRH were reeling with 4 wickets down in the chase of 169 courtesy Siraj and Rabadas stellar spell up front. GTs success this season has been completely driven by their bowling attack. In eight wins, their bowlers have claimed the Player-of-the-match award seven times. The common thread is simple: bowlers capable of relentlessly hitting the much talked about test-match length, essentially hitting the good and back of length areas - which is extremely tough to do in a T20 environment. Rabada and Siraj, with their skills and high pace, persisted with their plans and proved good ol Test match bowling in T20s can get you wickets. In the seven matches that GT has won, the pair has taken 21 wickets at an average of 14.85.GT has been one of the few sides, who built their identity around the bowlers even after the impact player rule. With the bowlers driving Gujarat Titans surge in the second half of the season, it has not only taken them to the top spot in the IPL 2026 Points Table, but has put them firmly on course for a top-two finish as well.

Daniel Levy received a CBE from the Prince of Wales during an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, with the former Tottenham Hotspur chairman revealing that Prince William expressed his support for Spurs to avoid the drop.The long-standing Aston Villa supporter and the ex-chairman discussed their respective clubs during the honour presentation."I thanked him for allowing us (Tottenham) to beat Aston Villa when we played them a few weeks ago," Mr Levy told the PA."He wished us luck the rest of the season, very much hoping that Tottenham survives in the Premier League."TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SayMr Levy, who served as the Premier League's longest-serving chairman across 24 years at the north London club, faced criticism from supporters who felt he placed commercial priorities above on-pitch achievements.When asked about Tottenham's current standing in the table, Mr Levy described his feelings with a single word: "Emptiness but I'm optimistic that we will remain in the Premier League."The club sits precariously just two points above the relegation zone, having accumulated only 38 points from 36 matches this campaign.Their struggles were underlined by the fact that they failed to secure a league victory in 2026 until April 25.Mr Levy insisted that during his tenure, the prospect of fighting against the drop was inconceivable."Never, no, not in a million years," he responded when questioned whether he had observed any warning signs of such a predicament.He added that when the 1 billion Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was being constructed in 2019, "relegation was not something we ever considered."The former chairman was awarded his CBE for services to charity and the community in Tottenham, recognising his work supporting education, health and social inclusion, as well as the employment opportunities generated through the stadium's construction.Despite the team's dismal league form, Mr Levy confirmed he has no intention of stepping away from the stands."It's in my blood," he said.Mr Levy also reflected on his ambitions during his time at the helm, acknowledging he had hoped for greater success."What I would have hoped for is winning the Premier League, winning the Champions League, easier said than done," he admitted.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
