There was a bit of a scare for KL Rahul, Delhi Capitals’ wicketkeeper-batsman, during practice when he was hit by a ball delivered by Mukesh Kumar. Raising worries about his presence in the big game against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, the good news is that he is expected to be fine for the Wednesday night clash.

He stressed the importance of staying true to themselves throughout their careers. In the post-match chat, Dhoni talked about how achieving consistency can be tough when aiming for a high strike rate but also said it’s essential to maintain consistent performance at the top level.  “You should always strive for consistency, which isn’t easy when you’re trying for a 200 strike rate.

In IPL 2025, everyone is talking about Match No. 63 of MI vs. DC. With three teams already in the playoffs, MI and DC are fighting for what remains of the last slot. It is interesting to note that both lost to GT at their very homes. Against GT in Mumbai, MI had a crazy day wherein, initially, things were going against them. GT started really well by dismissing the MI openers, but Will Jacks and Suryakumar Yadav managed to put some runs on the board. Things began to get messy towards the end of the innings as GT looked…

Sky Sports recently came up with a very interesting development about Rohit’s retirement. It seems Rohit was willing to retire during the England series, but the BCCI wanted him to stay on for consistent selection. They even offered that he could just play and nothing else, but Rohit refused and retired later. He announced his retirement on May 8 through Instagram. His retirement came in the wake of two disappointing Test series against New Zealand and Australia. Rohit had opted out of the last Test against Australia two weeks ago, and although he said at the time that he wasn’t…

The monsoon is hitting early, and it’s already causing some games to get washed out. So, the IPL 2025 has smartly decided to add two extra hours as a buffer for each of the nine remaining league matches. It’s not just for the playoffs anymore; even the group stage gets this rain-time cushion now. After a week-long break due to some cross-border issues, the IPL doesn’t want any more interruptions, especially with playoff spots still up for grabs. Out of the nine matches left, eight are in the evening with just one day match: GT vs CSK on May 25.…

Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming admitted that the team’s plight was understandable after a loss to Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday, which ensured their staying at the very bottom of the IPL 2025 points table. They have only secured three victories from 13 matches, thus making their season a very inconsistent one and finishing low even before the last game.  CSK saw more or less a good start, but in the game against RR at Delhi, they did not stand up to the relentless bowling on display by their opponents. Shivam Dube scored 39 and MS Dhoni scored 16, but…

A win for MI will seal their spot in the playoffs with 16 points. For DC, a win in both their next matches would guarantee a spot, but if they only manage to win one they would…

In a recent update concerning the IPL 2025, the BCCI has shifted match number 65 between RCB and SRH from Bengaluru to Lucknow. The reason behind the shift in venue is due to heavy rain and flooding in parts of the city. Originally to be held on May 23, the match was shifted as Bengaluru has a yellow alert in effect until the day. It has been heavily raining in the southern parts of India for over a week now, and the last game in Bengaluru, wherein RCB was supposed to meet KKR on May 17, was called off. RCB…
