There was a lot of chatter after the Mumbai Indians told Tilak Varma to retire during their match against the Lucknow Super Giants. Fans were pretty upset about it. But, MI captain Hardik Pandya stepped in to clear the air after Tilak had a great performance against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Wankhede Stadium on Monday. The young batsman had been having a rough time leading up to that game, but he proved himself by scoring 56 runs off just 29 balls, which included four fours and four sixes. Hardik explained why they sent him back to the dugout when…

Ambati Rayudu, the former Indian cricketer, is really pushing for spinner Sai Kishore to get a shot on the national team, especially given how well he’s been performing in the IPL 2025 season. Right now, at 28, Sai Kishore proudly holds the title of the second-highest wicket-taker for the Gujarat Titans and ranks similarly among all spinners in this year’s IPL. He’s snagged eight wickets over four games while keeping the runs scored against him at a reasonable 7.06 per over. This performance adds to his already impressive career T20 economy rate of 5.98 across 74 matches, showcasing just how…

Ravichandran Ashwin, the former Indian spinner, is currently playing for the Chennai Super Kings and also runs a YouTube channel. On Monday, he announced that his channel would stop covering any of the team’s matches after facing backlash over what some of their panelists said following a recent game. The trouble began last week when Prasanna Agoram, a former data analyst for South Africa and someone who often appears on the channel, openly criticized Chennai’s choice to bring in Afghanistan spinner Noor Ahmad. His take was that the team might have been better off selecting another batter instead of adding…

Chennai Super Kings are going through a tough time this season in the IPL. These guys have won the title five times, so it’s been a shock to see them start with a win against their biggest rivals, the Mumbai Indians, only to fall apart in the following three matches. Right now, they sit in ninth place on the points table, which isn’t where they usually are.  One of the players under fire is the veteran MS Dhoni. At 43, he’s had quite a career, but lately, he’s been getting a lot of heat for not performing well with the…

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s head coach, Daniel Vettori, had a tough day after witnessing his team suffer their fourth consecutive loss in the IPL. He pointed out that the team’s performance all around just hasn’t been good enough. If they want to stop this losing streak, something’s got to change. Last season, SRH made it all the way to the finals with a bold style of cricket, but this time, they just can’t seem to get that aggressive energy going. Their big hitters like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Ishan Kishan have been struggling to find their rhythm. “It’s clear to everyone…

Sikander Bakht, a…

After a tough run in their first major home tournament since 1996, where Pakistan ended up without a win in the 2025 Champions Trophy, things didn’t get any better. They faced New Zealand in a series of matches and unfortunately suffered defeats, losing 4-1 in T20Is and 3-0 in ODIs. Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif shared his thoughts in a chat with IANS, saying that both the unique conditions in New Zealand and some selection issues were big reasons for their poor performance. Latif pointed out that right after the Champions Trophy, the team had to jump into more matches,…
