Five losses on the spin and suddenly it's a tough battle. 13 points, two games left, and every one of them matters now. If we don’t win, we’ll be dependent on other results going our way.

The opponents bring plenty to the table. RCB have been the in-form side of this tournament, and Kohli is batting with the kind of fluency that makes him almost impossible to contain. Bhuvi has been metronomic with the ball all season.

But Dharamshala is our home. This ground knows us well. Priyansh and Prabhsimran have looked in good touch against strong attacks this season. Sarpanch Saab understands the pressure moments, and Marcus Stoinis can shift the momentum quickly on his day.

Arshdeep paaji leads our wickets chart this season for a reason. And if Harpreet Brar comes into the XI, as many are calling for, afternoon conditions at Dharamshala could suit Yuzi Chahal and him nicely. Brar once dismissed Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and AB de Villiers in one spell against this very opponent. He knows how to hurt them.

This team is brimming with fighting energy, and are ready to go all in. BAS JEETNA HAI.

3:30 PM Sunday. Final home stand of IPL 2026. Let's make it count.
