Deepak Chahar

A little eye-catching banter between Team India’s fast bowler Deepak Chahar and Team New Zealand’s batsman Martin Guptill was a highlight of yesterday’s T20 match. Deepak Chahar won the ‘moment of the match’ award for his death stare reaction on bowling out Guptill in the first T20I which ended up him winning Rs 1 lakh and a trophy.

What was the story behind Deepak Chahar’s ‘death stare’ reaction?

Yesterday’s T20 match between Team India and Team New Zealand started off with an amazing note for Team India with Bhuvneshwar Kumar knocking out Daryl Mitchell’s in the first over itself. However, after that Martin Guptill and Mark Chapman formed a mind-boggling partnership and batted exceptionally well to be on the top of the competitive scoreboard.

Martin Guptill was on fleek with his batting as he was smashing sixes after sixes. Soon after in 18th over a little ‘knock-out’ moment happened between Chahar and Guptill. Guptill smashed the lengthy delivery for the six in the first ball of the 18th over and stared at the bowler who just walked back to his bowling mark.

Deepak Chahar, on the other hand, didn’t waste any time in making a remarkable recovery and handing it back to the batsman. Martin Guptil attempted another long delivery, but this time it was a little slower. He missed to hit the delivery for a six as he would have wanted, and Shreyas Iyer ended up catching the ball.

This was the moment Chahar gave the Kiwi batsman the death gaze and stole the show. Though no words were said, the lethal glare was enough to capture the whole event.

The video has gone popular on the internet. Here’s the video:

The IPL 2026 playoff race has intensified further, with the latest qualification projections showing a clear edge for Sunrisers Hyderabad, while the battle for the final knockout spot remains wide open among multiple contenders.

According to updated playoff probability estimates following recent matches, Sunrisers Hyderabad hold the strongest position among all teams still in contention, with a 75% chance of qualifying for the top four. Their consistent performances have kept them comfortably ahead in the mid-table scramble.

At the same time, the race behind them has become increasingly tight, with several teams separated only by small percentage margins and net run rate factors beginning to play a decisive role.

CSK, RR and PBKS in close fight for fourth spot

The most competitive battle is currently for the fourth playoff position, where three major franchises remain in contention.

Chennai Super Kings are placed at around 35.5% qualification probability, keeping their campaign alive but under pressure after inconsistent results in recent matches.

Close behind them are Rajasthan Royals, who continue to hover in a similar range with nearly identical chances, making every remaining fixture crucial for their campaign.

Meanwhile, Punjab Kings have seen their prospects weaken further, slipping to around 31% despite still being in the playoff mix. Their position in the points table remains vulnerable as they struggle to build momentum in the final stretch of the league stage.

Other contenders and overall standings

Elsewhere, teams like Gujarat Titans continue to maintain a strong hold on qualification scenarios with a high probability of finishing in the top four, despite occasional setbacks.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru have already secured qualification status, strengthening their position at the top end of the table.

The mid-table remains highly competitive, while Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders continue to fight mathematically but face tougher paths due to lower probabilities and net run rate challenges.

What the numbers mean going forward

With only a few league matches remaining, the playoff cutoff is expected to settle around the 16-point mark, making every remaining fixture critical. Net run rate is also likely to become a key deciding factor if multiple teams finish on similar points.

Sunrisers Hyderabad remain in the strongest position, while the battle between Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings is expected to go down to the final set of league matches.
