Gary Stead, who’s been steering New Zealand’s cricket team, has decided it’s time to step away from coaching the white-ball formats, which includes ODIs and T20s. This announcement came from New Zealand Cricket (NZC) on April 8. During his coaching stint, Stead helped the team achieve quite a bit in the white-ball arena. They reached the finals in three major competitions: the 2019 World Cup, the 2021 T20 World Cup, and just recently in the Champions Trophy held across Pakistan and the UAE. Now, Stead is looking for a break and wants some time to decide if he still wants…

India is really into its cricket stars, and that obsession often gets blamed for the lack of big wins. There’s been a lot of talk about veteran players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli still being in the squad even when their performances have dropped off lately. Moeen Ali, an all-rounder for Kolkata Knight Riders, believes players shouldn’t just keep their spots because they’re popular. In a chat with the Indian Express, Moeen mentioned that players can stick around in the IPL even if they’re not at their best, but it’s different when it comes to international play. He said,…

On April 8, during an exciting match in IPL 2025, Priyansh Arya, the opener for Punjab Kings, stole the spotlight with an incredible performance against the Chennai Super Kings. At just 22 years old, Arya managed to hit the fourth fastest century in IPL history, reaching this milestone in only 39 balls. He finished his innings with an impressive total of 103 runs from just 42 deliveries, smashing nine sixes and seven fours along the way. His explosive start kicked off with a six on the very first ball, which really set the pace for his dominant show at the…

Jasprit Bumrah, the fast bowler for India, has made his comeback after being away from the game for about three months due to an injury. The head coach of the Mumbai Indians, Mahela Jayawardene, mentioned that Bumrah is looking good and they want to gradually get him back into the swing of things for the Indian Premier League (IPL).  Bumrah returned to action in a match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru after dealing with a back injury that kept him off the field since early January. Right from the start, he faced his India teammate Virat Kohli, who welcomed him back…

After the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) suffered another tough loss against the Punjab Kings (PBKS), their captain Ruturaj Gaikwad stepped up to discuss the issues the team is facing. He pointed out that their struggles on the field have played a major role in their current losing streak, which now stands at four games. During the match, CSK couldn’t quite keep up with a fantastic century from Priyansh Arya, which, along with key wickets from the PBKS bowlers, led to an 18-run defeat for CSK. Talking to reporters after the game, Gaikwad said it all comes down to their fielding.…

In Tuesday’s IPL match, the Lucknow Super Giants went head-to-head with the Kolkata Knight Riders in Kolkata. It was a memorable game, not just because of the strong competition but also due to a standout moment from Shardul Thakur, who bowled an 11-ball over that tied the record for the longest over in IPL history. It began with Thakur throwing five wide balls in a row, which left KKR’s captain, Rishabh Pant, looking really confused. The idea behind bringing Thakur in was to tackle the threat from KKR’s Ajinkya Rahane, who was playing exceptionally well and had already racked up…

Shubman Gill, the captain of Gujarat Titans, has shown some great skill on the field, but he’s struggled to find a consistent rhythm in IPL 2025 up to now. He started his season against Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians with some promising innings but couldn’t push those starts into big scores. His game against RCB was another disappointment, where he just couldn’t make a mark. But not all has been lost; in his latest match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he turned things around drastically, smashing an impressive 61 runs off just 43 balls to lead his team to victory. So far…

Punjab Kings’ young opener, Priyansh Arya, recently made waves in his debut IPL season with an impressive century against Chennai Super Kings. He attributes his incredible performance to his instinctive approach to the game, a skill that was nurtured with some guidance from his captain, Shreyas Iyer.  Arya, who hails from the Delhi Premier League, really lit up the stadium with his phenomenal century, hitting the milestone in just 39 balls. This earned him the record for the fastest century by an uncapped player and marked it as the fifth fastest century ever in IPL history. His remarkable innings of…

Punjab Kings’ allrounder had a pretty average performance with the bat in the current IPL 2025 season, even though the team still managed to snag another win. On Tuesday night against the Chennai Super Kings, Maxwell only managed to score 1 run off 2 balls before getting out, thanks to a delivery from Ravichandran Ashwin. After the game, he faced some consequences for his actions on the field and was fined 25% of his match fees for not following the IPL’s code of conduct. On top of that, a demerit point was added to his record. The BCCI made a…

The Rajasthan Royals seem to be back in the game, shaking off a rough start where they lost their first two matches. They bounced back strong, notching up two wins in a row. Their first victory came against the Chennai Super Kings in a nail-biter held in Guwahati. They built on that momentum with a convincing win over the Punjab Kings while playing away, giving them four points in total, although they still find themselves in the lower half of the points table. Looking forward, the team aims to keep up this winning streak and climb higher up the standings.…
