The first season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) kicked off back in 2008 and it really took the cricket world by storm. It was filled with excitement and has become one of the most talked-about cricket tournaments out there.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is unhappy and has even hinted at leaving Hyderabad if things don’t change. According to a report by the Times of India, the team claims that officials from the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) have been messing with them, asking for free tickets and causing trouble.

In the email, Srinath pointed out that the unprofessional actions from HCA, particularly the president, show that they might not actually want SRH to continue…

MS Dhoni and Ravichandran Ashwin have formed a strong bond in the Indian Premier League that’s worth talking about. A lot of folks might not know this, but Ashwin, the crafty off-spinner, has managed to stump a total of 10 batters throughout IPL history, and guess what? Dhoni has been there for an impressive nine of those stumpings. This cool stat really shows how clever Ashwin is and how quick Dhoni’s reflexes are. The two of them have teamed up to fool batters for almost 18 seasons now. Out of all those stumpings, four happened from wayward deliveries that were…

Star player Sanju Samson from the Rajasthan Royals made headlines in their match against the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2025. The game kicked off with Rajasthan batting first after losing the toss. Samson stepped up to open the innings alongside Jaiswal and immediately aimed to make an impact.

On Sunday, March 30, Ruturaj Gaikwad, the captain of the Chennai Super Kings, threw a little shade at his teammate Rahul Tripathi after a tough game.

MS Dhoni came in to bat at the No. 7position for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) during their recent match against Rajasthan Royals (RR), which they lost by just 6 runs. In IPL 2025, we’ve seen Dhoni take on spots lower in the order, anywhere from No. 7 to No. 9. Fans have noticed he’s been batting further down and can’t help but wonder why CSK isn’t giving him a chance to bat earlier, where his explosive style could really help the team. After the close defeat, CSK’s coach, Stephen Fleming, addressed this curiosity and laid it all out for everyone.…

Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad pointed out that their slow starts and some fielding mistakes were big factors in their loss to Rajasthan Royals by six runs in the IPL on Sunday.

Kuldeep Yadav, the spinner for the Delhi Capitals, has shared that his experience with the Kolkata Knight Riders from 2014 to 2021 really taught him a lot about bowling, especially thanks to his former teammate, Sunil Narine. He said that it was during those years with KKR that he fully understood the importance of bowling length deliveries, something that Narine always pushed for. After spending quite some time together in Kolkata, Kuldeep moved to Delhi while Narine stuck with KKR, where he has been a key player for over ten years. Kuldeep was bought for Rs 40 lakhs in the…
