Mohammad Hafeez, the former Pakistan all-rounder, is saying the media twisted his words. Remember when he said past players didn’t leave a mark on Pakistan cricket? Well, he claims he wasn’t going after anyone specifically. His comments came after Pakistan’s terrible showing at the Champions Trophy. They lost to New Zealand and India early on, getting knocked out, and a rained-out game against Bangladesh didn’t do them any favors. After getting heat for his remarks, Hafeez went on social media Monday to clarify. He said he wasn’t trying to slam any particular player. He just wanted to point out that…

 Ambati Rayudu, that Indian batter who used to smash it for Mumbai Indians for eight whole IPL seasons and then switched over to Chennai Super Kings for six, bagging three titles with each team, has just picked his dream MI-CSK combined XI. The guy knows what he’s talking about, right? He’s been in the thick of it. Rayudu, who jumped into the IPL back in 2009 with Mumbai, cheekily put himself in as the impact player. But get this: he’s stacked the rest of the XI with seven Mumbai Indians legends. Talk about loyalty! He wrapped up his IPL stint…

Sourav Ganguly, who used to captain India, said he’s kind of puzzled by how Rohit Sharma has been playing in Test matches for the past four or five years. Ganguly thinks Rohit has the skill to play a lot better than he has been. India played ten Test matches over five months against Bangladesh, New Zealand, and Australia, but they only won three of them. Ganguly said he’s worried about Rohit Sharma’s red-ball cricket performance, which hasn’t been great recently. I’m surprised by his red ball form over the last four or five years. Someone with his talent should be…

The Rajasthan Royals are gearing up for the new IPL season, and the first champs are facing off against Sunrisers Hyderabad, the 2024 finalists. Game 2 is happening on March 23 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Word is the Royals are making big changes to their team for IPL 2025. Guys like Jos Buttler, Trent Boult, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, and tons of other big names got released before the auction. But they brought in Nitish Rana, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Maheesh Theekshana to help them push forward. Before the season started, the Rajasthan Royals got a boost when their…

At the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) event at Chinnaswamy Stadium, there was a funny moment between Virat Kohli and Phil Salt. Salt, the English wicketkeeper-batter and RCB’s new player, accidentally hit Kohli in the head with a ball while they were throwing souvenirs to the crowd. Kohli took a moment to figure out who did it, but once he realized it was Salt, he playfully chased him with a smile. We sense the banter between Virat and Salt is only going to get better as the season goes on! 😁#PlayBold #ನಮ್ಮRCB #RCBUnbox pic.twitter.com/YhcV3U15lL— Royal Challengers Bengaluru (@RCBTweets) March 17, 2025…

Dale Steyn, the old South African fast bowler, sure thinks highly of Kagiso Rabada (also from South Africa) and India’s Jasprit Bumrah. He calls them the gold standard for a quick bowler. It’s not just about bowling fast, but being smart and able to adjust to what’s happening in the game. Steyn was talking about how some guys he’s seen playing cricket at the international level for years still don’t get how to change the field to suit what they’re bowling. He said it makes him want to tear his hair out when he sees it. Right now, the ICC…

MS Dhoni, who’s played more Indian Premier League games than anyone else, is ready to suit up for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025. CSK kept the former India and CSK captain for Rs 4 crore before the big IPL 2025 auction last year. Even though he’s over 43, Dhoni is still a force to be reckoned with in the IPL. In the 2024 IPL, he played all 14 matches for Ruturaj Gaikwad’s team, hitting 13 sixes and scoring 161 runs. The great wicketkeeper-batter wants to have another year of great showings in the IPL. Before IPL 2025 kicks off,…

Rishabh Pant has joined the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) camp to get ready for the next Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. He has played his entire career with Delhi Capitals, but now, Pant is going to lead LSG in the 18th edition of the competition. The Indian wicketkeeper-batter was seen talking about plans with his new teammates during a recent practice. Pant, along with the LSG team management, wants to make a space where every player can ‘speak their mind’. He also asked the senior players to help the younger guys on the team with what they know. “We…

Delhi Capitals just said that Faf du Plessis from South Africa will be their vice-captain for the 2025 IPL. Before DC picked him up, the 40-year-old Du Plessis was the captain for Royal Challengers Bengaluru for three seasons. DC got the former Chennai Super Kings opener for his base price of Rs 2 crore. He’s going to be helping out Axar Patel, who’s now the main captain. Pick up your phones, it’s your vice-captain calling 💙❤️ pic.twitter.com/W3AkYO4QKZ— Delhi Capitals (@DelhiCapitals) March 17, 2025 Du Plessis has been around the IPL, playing for CSK, RCB, and Rising Pune Supergiants.

Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar, Kagiso Rabada, and Rashid Khan are now with the Gujarat Titans (GT) in Ahmedabad, getting ready for the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) with some pre-season practice.
