News Summary:

On May 2, 2026, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Devajit Saikia stated that the venues for the IPL 2026 playoffs would be confirmed within two days, declining to confirm M. Chinnaswamy or Mullanpur for hosting rights. Previously, on May 1, the Gauhati High Court dismissed a writ petition filed by the Assam Cricket Association (ACA) challenging an income tax assessment that treated its media rights income from the BCCI as taxable. This followed comments on April 28 from Shakib Al Hasan, who called Bangladesh's interim government's decision not to allow the national team to participate in the February-March T20 World Cup a "blunder," leading to Scotland replacing them due to security concerns for travel to India. Earlier, on April 23, lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah was reportedly slated to play the remaining nine matches of the ongoing World Test Championship as Team India sought to recover its position after slipping to sixth in the points table. On April 22, former BCCI selector K Srikkanth revealed he apologized to Rohit Sharma in 2020 for his non-selection in India’s 2011 World Cup squad, attributing it to the selectors' preference for an all-rounder-heavy team.

Suryakumar Yadav defends 'poor form' as BCCI contemplates India's T20I captaincy change

Suryakumar Yadav’s career is in a freefall. For 2 years now, he’s been the worst T20I batter for India, but since the Men in Blue keep winning, the selectors keep persisting with him. India won the T20 World Cup 2026, not because of him, but despite him.

Icon Problem

The IPL is India’s biggest media brand by a distance, and it behaves like one: part sport, part daily soap, part music festival, part influencer economy. It is also one of the few properties that can make the entire media business – TV, streaming, social, radio, outdoor, even office pantry conversations – move in the same direction at the same time.
