Mitchell Starc is gearing up for his fourth season in the Indian Premier League, but this time he’ll be playing for a third different team. At 35 years old, Starc brings with him a wealth of experience and skills that any team would be lucky to have. He’s faced challenges in the previous season, particularly with his performance on match days. In fact, among bowlers who delivered at least 250 balls last year, he had the highest economy rate at 10.61 runs per over. Despite these numbers, he managed to maintain a strike rate of under 15, which means he…

Mayank Yadav, the fast bowler for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), has hit another snag in his recovery journey, pushing back his return to cricket a bit more. It’s been a tough road for him since he burst onto the scene in the last IPL season, where he took the league by storm, snagging the player-of-the-match title in his first two outings and bowling at some mind-blowing speeds over 150 kph. Justin Langer, the head coach of LSG, keeps his fingers crossed that the 22-year-old will be back for the later part of the tournament. He shared some updates on Mayank’s…

Harbhajan Singh stirred up some controversy while commentating on the IPL match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals on Sunday. He compared Jofra Archer to London’s black taxis, and that didn’t sit well with many folks on social media. In the 18th over of SRH’s innings, Archer was hit for a couple of boundaries by Heinrich Klaasen, which led Harbhajan to joke about Archer’s performance. He said, “In London, the black taxi’s meter runs fast, and Archer’s meter was running like that today too.” Unfortunately, this comment got him a lot of backlash, with users calling for an apology.

Ishan Kishan really shined in this match, finishing…

After watching the Sunrisers Hyderabad play during the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League, former South African bowler Dale Steyn has thrown out a pretty bold prediction about when we might finally see a team score more than 300 runs in an innings. This speculation comes hot on the heels of SRH’s massive score of 286 runs in their first match this season. Ishan Kishan really stole the show with his century, and other players like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Nitish Reddy, and Heinrich Klaasen chipped in with some quick runs against the Rajasthan Royals in that game. Steyn…

The Mumbai Indians brought Vignesh Puthur into the spotlight during their IPL 2025 opener against the Chennai Super Kings on Sunday night. This was a big moment for Vignesh as he took on the role of an Impact Substitute, and he really made his mark on the field. As a left-arm wrist spinner, he was impressive right from the start, managing to take three crucial wickets and giving the MI team a fighting chance to defend a challenging total at Chepauk. At just 24 years old, Vignesh grabbed attention by dismissing CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, who was in great form…
