Summary

Washington Sundar finished a tense GT chase of Punjab Kings on 4 May 2026 by scooping Marcus Stoinis for six over fine leg. The 40 not out off 23 balls, with Sai Sudharsan's earlier fifty as the platform, secured the win in the final over and added another late-overs partnership masterclass to GT's IPL 2026 tactical repertoire.

What Happened

The chase had been live until the final over. Stoinis was bowling for PBKS, a senior international in a death-overs role. Sundar walked across his stumps and scooped — the most committed of all T20 finishing strokes — over fine leg for six. The match was over.

The 40 not out off 23 included two earlier boundaries and the final-over six. Sai Sudharsan's fifty earlier in the innings had been the platform; Sundar's finishing kick was the conclusion.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi Leads IPL 2026's Impact Charts at 15 — Year of the Sequel

Rajasthan Royals

5 May 2026

A year after becoming the youngest centurion in IPL history at 14, Vaibhav Suryavanshi spent the IPL 2026 league phase doing something even harder: leading the tournament's batting impact charts as a 15-year-old. By the end of the league stage, Suryavanshi sat on 499.91 batting impact points and 404 actual runs — the highest impact score of the season, ahead of established internationals — and Rajasthan Royals had built a top-four campaign almost entirely around him.

Alan Isaac — The Chartered Accountant Who Became ICC President

International Cricket Council

1 July 2012

Alan Isaac is the New Zealand chartered accountant who became President of the International Cricket Council in 2012, an unusually direct route from a Wellington accountancy practice to the most senior elected office in world cricket. Isaac served as ICC President from 2012 to 2014 and is one of the very few cricket administrators in modern times whose primary professional background was in accountancy and corporate governance rather than in playing or coaching.

Sunil Gavaskar's 6,000 Test Runs — The 1981 Milestone on the Road to 10,000

India

1 March 1981

Sunil Manohar Gavaskar reached 6,000 Test runs in 1981, during India's home season — a milestone that placed him among the very small group of batters who had ever reached the figure to that point and that confirmed his trajectory toward the 10,000 mark he would eventually become the first batter in Test history to cross. The 6,000-run milestone is a less-celebrated cricket landmark than the 10,000 he reached in 1987, but it was the moment Gavaskar's career arc became unambiguously historic.
