- On Saturday, the Lucknow Super Giants concluded their IPL 2026 season with a dismal loss to Punjab Kings, prompting global director of cricket Tom Moody to state the franchise must 'consider a reset' regarding leadership.

- Qualification for the playoffs now depends on today's clash between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians, as a win for the Royals would eliminate Punjab Kings from contention.
