MI favourites against KKR, says Naman Dhir
Mumbai Indians are out of the IPL 2026 playoff race, but the team isn’t letting that get them down. They’re still focused and want to make the most of their remaining games. Ahead of their match against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens, Naman Dhir, one of MI’s batters, talked about what keeps them going.
“Honestly, it’s all about the fans. We play for them. Every time we step onto the field, we go in looking to win,” he said. “We’ll give it everything, just like we did in the last match against Punjab Kings. Sure, KKR will come in with better strategies after our last game, but we still see ourselves as the favourites.”
I do perform beyond my abilities: Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli believes he hits another level when he’s playing for something bigger than himself. In a talk called “Mind Over Everything: Virat Kohli said on Peak Performance, that he laid out what drives him after almost twenty years at the top of international cricket.
He looked back on his approach to chasing and leading under pressure, and kept it real: “I’m just built to take on more responsibility. When there’s more on my shoulders, that’s when I play my best.”
Kohli also talked about needing a purpose beyond personal records. Stepping into leadership, he said, is what really pushed him to grow. “You don’t have time to focus on just yourself anymore, and honestly, that’s a great place to be. If I’m playing for something bigger, I go past what I thought I could do.”
