Chennai Super Kings have been going through a bad phase in IPL 2025, and the biggest question thrown around is whether this season would turn out to be MS Dhoni’s swan song. CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan said the ball is in Dhoni’s court as far as his future is concerned.  Dhoni has seen the IPL from the very start–right from 18 years ago–but this season he is listed as an uncapped player since he stopped playing international cricket five years ago. One is a little sad to see that age is beginning to show on Dhoni, especially after CSK were…

One of the star players of the Gujarat Titans, Kagiso Rabada, now finds himself in quite hot water as the revelation emerged that he is actually being suspended for having one positive test for recreational drugs during the SA20 tournament earlier this year. Unexpectedly, Rabada walked out of IPL 2025 last month for South Africa, and consequently, he was not available for nearly a month.  Vikram Solanki, the GT Director of Cricket, supported Rabada saying the cricketer regrets what happened and has learnt from that incident. Solanki mentioned that Rabada is keen on moving on from this and concentrating on…

Sudharsan is having a great IPL 2025 season, with 504 runs in 10 matches for GT, with five half-centuries to his credit. His performance has been vital to the Gujarat victory in the tournament. “I’ve always admired Shubman in the last three years. If I’m in a rut in practice or facing a bowler, I would speak to him about what I could have done better. I have learned a lot by watching him play. He is a very competitive captain who knows exactly what players need. He creates a comfortable atmosphere for us to come up from when things…

As soon as the IPL draws to a close, the Indian players will set off for England for the five-match Test series. This is their inaugural theater in the new World Test Championship cycle. In recent times, India and Rohit Sharma had a tough series of matches, making the WTC final impossible to attain, losing six of eight matches toward the end. England, therefore, presents a good opportunity to regain lost glory after finishing poorly in the last cycle. While Indians are gearing up for the big showdown against England, let’s check who all might be part of the playing…

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s IPL 2025 campaign ended earlier than projected on Monday when their crucial game against Delhi Capitals was washed out by rain. Just three wins out of 11 games, and SRH’s chances of making the playoffs are gone. We had a frustrating season with a lot of highs and lows, according to Daniel Vettori-the coach-who spoke to the media after the game. He went on to point out that the playing conditions there at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium caused a lot of their problems. Vettori acknowledged that his team could not play the attacking approach they did in the…

When Kohli was in school, he often used to dream aloud and share with his teachers that he wanted to be a cricketer. A decent student, he loved science and math, but cricket was his true love. Even with his demanding schedule, Kohli managed to perform reasonably well in school. His teachers from Vishal Bharti Public School, New Delhi, remember him fondly, sharing how proud they felt seeing his confidence. Kohli would almost boast, “Ma’am, I will be the next Sachin Tendulkar for the Indian team.” Tendulkar has always been a huge source of inspiration for him, and Kohli eclipsed…

The West Indies have named the 15-member team for their forthcoming ODI tour of Ireland and England beginning later this month. The team shall travel to Europe from May 21-25 to play three matches against Ireland and, from May 29 to June 3, play another three against England, making it six ODIs in all. Shai Hope again will lead the team with support from key batsmen like Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Keacy Carty, and the young star Jewel Andrew, who impressed everyone in ICC Under-19 World Cup 2023. Shimron Hetmyer was a conspicuous absentee since he is currently playing for…

The selection department has begun its first round of deliberations as the clock is ticking; a little over a month remains for the Indian cricket team to embark on a five-match Test series in England starting from June 20. After a pretty unsuccessful last cycle of the World Test Championship for India, with defeats at home and in Australia, the selectors find themselves in a really difficult situation. This new cycle, however, remains an opportunity for the team to start afresh, but a lot of questions have to be addressed. A huge matter of debate is the future of senior…
