Gandhi humorously RCB vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026: A vintage new-ball spell from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and a composed half-century by Tilak Varma defined contrasting phases of the Mumbai Indians’ innings as they posted 166/7 against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur on Sunday.
Live Scorecard
After RCB skipper Rajat Patidar opted to bowl first on a surface with visible cracks and uneven bounce, Bhuvneshwar exploited the conditions brilliantly to leave Mumbai reeling inside the Power-play. The veteran seamer struck in the very first over when Ryan Rickelton miscued an attempted lofted drive to mid-off, setting the tone for a disciplined opening burst.
Mumbai briefly counterattacked through Rohit Sharma, who took on Josh Hazlewood with two sixes and a boundary in an 18-run second over. Rohit looked intent on disrupting RCB’s lengths, but Bhuvneshwar responded with experience and variation.
A clever knuckleball induced a thick edge from Rohit for 22, before Suryakumar Yadav’s much-anticipated return lasted just one ball as he edged to Virat Kohli at first slip. From 22/1, MI suddenly slipped to 28/3, with Bhuvneshwar narrowly missing out on a hat-trick.
On a tricky batting surface where stroke-making never appeared straightforward, Tilak Varma and Naman Dhir steadied the innings with a valuable rebuilding partnership. The pair rotated strike smartly through the middle overs while punishing the occasional loose delivery. Tilak looked assured against spin, especially while taking on Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma, while Naman used the pace of the ball effectively, square of the wicket.
RCB’s fielding, however, briefly let Mumbai off the hook. Tilak survived a regulation chance at mid-wicket when Suyash Sharma failed to hold onto a top edge, and a misfield from Romario Shepherd handed away another boundary. The missed opportunities allowed MI to gradually regain momentum.
Naman, who mixed innovation with controlled aggression, appeared set for a half-century before Rasikh Salam Dar produced a crucial breakthrough in the 13th over. The pacer deceived him with a skiddy back-of-a-length delivery that crashed into the stumps, ending a fighting 47 off 32 balls.
Tilak continued to anchor the innings from the other end and brought up a well-crafted fifty with a late cut off Rasikh. He accelerated effectively in the death overs, including a towering slog sweep against Suyash and a straight boundary off Bhuvneshwar, but his dismissal in the 18th over proved a major turning point. Attempting a scoop against Bhuvneshwar, Tilak dragged the ball back onto his stumps for a 42-ball 57.
Bhuvneshwar finished with outstanding figures of 4-23, becoming only the second bowler after Harshal Patel to register six three-wicket hauls in a single IPL season. RCB also closed the innings strongly through Hazlewood and Rasikh, restricting Mumbai to just 31 runs in the final five overs.

Iran War News: The Strait of Hormuz crisis intensified after Iran rejected a US-backed draft resolution at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), calling it “flawed” and “politically motivated”. Tehran said the proposal would not solve the ongoing conflict in West Asia and instead accused Washington of attempting to legitimise unlawful actions through the UN.
In its statement, Iran maintained that the only solution to the crisis was ending the war, lifting the maritime blockade on Iranian ports and restoring normal movement through the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian mission also appealed to UN member states to reject the draft resolution and avoid supporting it.
The proposed resolution was introduced by the United States along with Gulf allies including Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar. It aims to defend freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global energy corridor through which a large share of the world’s oil supply passes. The United States has accused Iran of attacks on commercial vessels, laying sea mines and threatening maritime traffic.
The crisis has further deepened regional instability. Reports of missile and drone strikes, attacks on ships and tensions involving Israel have heightened fears of a wider conflict in the Gulf. The Israeli military also reported sirens in northern Israel following a suspected aerial infiltration.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard warned against any military action, claiming that attempts by former US President Donald Trump to weaken Tehran had failed. At the same time, diplomatic channels remain active, with mediators reportedly working on a possible agreement between Washington and Tehran.
The continuing tensions have had major global economic consequences, including rising oil prices and increased shipping costs. With the Strait of Hormuz remaining at the centre of the crisis, concerns continue to grow over global trade disruptions and regional security as international diplomatic efforts intensify.- Himanta Biswa Sarma to take oath as Assam CM on May
TVK chief Vijay on Sunday took oath as Tamil Nadu’s new chief minister after securing the support of the VCK and IUML, taking the number of MLAs backing him to 120 — two above the majority mark of 118.
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam secured recognition as an official political party after crossing 50 lakh votes in its debut Tamil Nadu assembly election, an unprecedented entry for a first-time contestant.
Party founder and actor Vijay personally led from the front, holding strong leads in both Perambur and Trichy East constituencies.
The results marked a significant shift in Tamil Nadu's political landscape, signalling that the state's voters are open to a credible third alternative beyond the DMK-AIADMK duopoly.
MGR, the biggest crossover star from cinema to Tamil Nadu politics, never drank or smoked on screen. He was fair complexioned. For someone who claims to be the next MGR in Tamil Nadu politics, Vijay did - on screen - everything that MGR didn't: he played an alcoholic professor, a gangster, and a morally conflicted man. Yet, he seems to be on the way to becoming the next MGR in politics.
Vijay was a contrarian through his campaign: he avoided media interviews and did fewer public shows than chief minister M K Stalin and opposition leader Edappadi K Palaniswami. On the last day of the campaign, he blew a whistle (his party symbol) and offered a quid pro quo: "Give me one thing I ask - your vote - and I will give you all you ask for five years."
In a major political development, Amma Makkal Munnettra Kazagam (AMMK) on Friday extended its support to All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) in Tamil Nadu, while urging the Governor to invite the party to form the government.
In a letter addressed to the Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, AMMK General Secretary TTV Dhinakaran wrote that the party supports AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi Palanisami's claim to form the government. He urged the Governor to invite EPS to form the government and "be sworn in as the Chief Minister of the state."
AMMK secured only 1 seat in the assembly elections. Dhinakaran, in the letter, said that MLA-elect Kamaraj S, supports the party stance.
"I, TTV Dhinakaran, General Secretary of Amma Makkal Munnettra Kazagam hereby extend my full support to the claim of Thiru. Edappadi K.Palaniswami to form the new Government of the State of Tamil Nadu. Our Party Candidate Mr.Kamaraj.S who contested in Mannargudi Constituency (167) have been elected as MLA of the Constituency. Mr.Kamaraj.S MLA of Mannargudi Constituency (167) have also signed this Letter in support of the above claim. It is humbly requested that Thiru Edappadi K.Palaniswami be invited to form the new Government and be sworn in as the Chief Minister, of the State of Tamil Nadu," the letter read.
