Mumbai Indians coach Mahela Jayawardene mentioned that Jasprit Bumrah is currently at the National Cricket Academy, just starting his recovery. It seems like there’s not a huge chance he’ll be ready for the start of the Indian Premier League’s 18th edition. Missing Bumrah at the beginning of IPL 2025 is tough. Jayawardene hopes he can rejoin the team soon and said that Bumrah seems positive at the NCA. Bumrah has been off the field for a couple of months because of a back injury he got during the last Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Jasprit is at the NCA right…

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who won last year’s Indian Premier League (IPL),kept most of their winning team. They swapped out a few players to fill spots. In the 2025 season, KKR needs the new guys to fit right in and keep the wins coming. Sunil Narine, who was the MVP last season, will probably open the batting with either Quinton de Kock, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, or Luvnith Sisodia, who is the only Indian option for that spot. Ajinkya Rahane, the new captain, will likely bat at number three because he’s done well up there for other IPL teams. The middle order…

Srivastava stopped playing professional cricket five years back and has been an umpire in local games since then. The Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association posted a tweet Monday night, saying, “Once…

Sikander Bakht, a former Pakistani fast bowler, is not happy. He’s calling out Pakistani cricketers who skipped the National T20 Championship. He thinks that as employees of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) making a good amount of money each month, they should play in every domestic tournament. Pakistani media says that ODI captain Mohammad Rizwan chose to play club cricket instead of the National T20 Cup, which is run by the PCB. Bakht is urging Mohsin Naqvi to get tough and punish those who don’t comply. These guys work for the Pakistan Cricket Board. They earn a big amount per…

Krishnamachari Srikkanth, who used to play cricket for India, mentioned that Chris Gayle could easily smack any bowler all over the field. But R. Ashwin only needed four balls to get him out. Srikkanth joked that Gayle was actually scared of the Indian spinner. Srikkanth said Gayle felt the pressure whenever Ashwin was about to bowl. At a book thing in Chennai, Srikkanth said that Gayle’s tough attitude changed when he had to deal with Ashwin. Chris Gayle could hit anybody for sixes and fours but Ashwin just needed four balls to dismiss him. When Ashwin had the ball, Gayle’s…

AB de Villiers, the South African batting legend, thinks Virat Kohli should just keep it simple this season. He should focus on being a smart player and controlling the game. RCB has got a ton of batting power, and with Phil Salt in the mix, Kohli won’t feel as much pressure. Even though Kohli is always a reliable scorer for RCB, people have been talking about his scoring rate the last couple of years. But now, RCB has picked up some big hitters like Salt, Liam Livingstone, Tim David and Romario Shepherd. They aren’t afraid to go after the bowling…

Pakistan cricket is once again in the buzz as a video going around where Brad Hogg seems to be making fun of Mohammad Rizwan’s English. Aamer Jamal, another Pakistani cricketer, wasn’t happy about it and called Hogg out on social media. Basically, in the clip, Hogg is talking to a guy who’s doing an impression of Rizwan. Hogg asks him what he thinks of Virat Kohli. The impersonator jokes that he and Kohli are basically the same because they both drink water and eat food. Then, the content creator used Rizwan’s famous line, “Ya to win hai ya learn hai…

In the latest developments it is seen that BCCI might change the family rules for foreign tours. Back in January 2025, after that awful Test series against Australia, the BCCI said families couldn’t tag along for the whole tour. But now, news agencies ANI and India Today are reporting that players can ask for permission if they want their families around for a longer stretch when they’re playing abroad. This all comes after Virat Kohli wasn’t happy with the rule. He said it’s important for players to have their families nearby, especially when things get intense on those foreign tours.…

Ravichandran Ashwin, the ex-India spinner, said that crushing it in the IPL doesn’t automatically make you a Test player. He thinks Shreyas Iyer might have to wait for a Test comeback, no matter how well he does in the next IPL season. Iyer got back on track with his ODI performances, and now everyone’s watching to see if he can get back into the Test squad. Ashwin questioned how IPL scores could be a reason to pick someone for the Test team. Tell me this: how does a good IPL get you a Test spot? How does doing well in…

Punjab Kings (PBKS) coach Ricky Ponting mentioned he couldn’t wait to work with Shreyas Iyer again at his new team, remembering their time together at Delhi Capitals (DC). PBKS picked up Iyer for a huge Rs. 26.75 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction, making him the second-most expensive player ever in the tournament. Last season, Shreyas captained Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to their third IPL title but was let go before the auction. The guy from Mumbai had joined KKR from DC three years before. Back in 2020, Shreyas was the captain and Ponting was the coach when DC…
