Yuzvendra Chahal is getting ready to play for his new team, Punjab Kings, in the upcoming IPL 2025, starting March 22 in Kolkata. Rajasthan Royals let Chahal go before last year’s big auction, and then PBKS picked him up for a huge Rs 18 crore – the most he’s ever gotten in his IPL career. PBKS is the fourth IPL team that the leg-spinner will play for. Before this, he was with Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and RR. Over his career, Chahal has bowled to some really tough hitters, but he thinks two batters are the most “challenging. And…

Working on a plan B, the Lucknow Super Giants have been battling to keep their marquee pacer Mayank Yadav fit before the Indian Premier League 2025 season. Some coaching graphics from the LSG camp have implied that experienced India all-rounder Shardul Thakur might be next in line to sign with the team. The Mumbai star, who last season in the IPL played for Chennai Super Kings (CSK), was seen wearing the franchise’s jersey at the LSG training session on Sunday. Shardul Thakur 👀 What's going on !!?#LSGThis kind of a post for just a Net bowler, I don't think so……

A lot of Indian cricketers have wives who are successful in their own right. For example, Virat Kohli is married to Anushka Sharma, who’s a famous actress. Rohit Sharma’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, is a sports manager. And Ravindra Jadeja’s wife, Rivaba, has a pretty cool career too. She’s actually a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Jamnagar North in Gujarat. It’s kind of a funny story how Rivaba and Jadeja got together. She was friends with Jadeja’s sister first. They met at a party, and Jadeja was head over heels for her right away. His sister helped them get…

Royal Challengers Bengaluru are kicking off another try for an IPL title later this week against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens. Even though they’ve had some big T20 stars over the years, they still haven’t won the trophy. Even as the team has seen change, Virat Kohli has remained. He’s been with RCB since the IPL started in 2008 and has put up some amazing batting stats for them. Despite his fame, Kohli is easy to talk to, at least according to Jitesh Sharma, a recent RCB pickup. Yeah, Virat’s really approachable. It might be harder for people on…

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is gearing up for their first tournament game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Saturday, March 22. Now that the Champions Trophy and WPL are over, everyone’s attention is on the IPL. Most players from all 10 teams have arrived, except for those dealing with injuries or late arrivals. RCB is putting on what’s expected to be another star-studded Unbox event before the new season. RCB already announced their captain and jersey for 2025. This year, they’ve planned some fun activities with the players. At the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, players will practice in front…

Looks like Mayank Yadav might be back with the Lucknow Super Giants around April 11 or 12. He’s been working on getting better after a back injury. He had some back trouble earlier this year. After playing for India against Bangladesh in T20Is last year, he worked on getting back in shape at the BCCI center in Bengaluru. He’s started bowling again recently. There were reports that Mayank might miss the first part of the IPL 2025 season, but it seems he’ll be joining the LSG team soon. Someone close to the situation told Sports Tak that Mayank is looking…

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has penalized a few cricketers, including Aamer Jamal, for conduct code violations. Word on the street in Pakistan is that Jamal got slapped with a PKR 1.3 million fine for sporting a cap with a political message during an interview on the field. Apparently, the 28-year-old wore a cap with 804 on it in the first Test against England last October. The number 804 is supposedly a shout-out to Imran Khan, the former Pakistan captain and Prime Minister, who’s currently serving time in jail. Rumor has it that 804 is Imran’s prison number. Also, Salman…

Virat Kohli wants TV folks to stop talking about his lunch. Seriously, he’s not into them discussing his favorite foods or where he likes to eat in Delhi. He’d rather they focus on the actual game and what players are experiencing. The TV show should be about the game, not what I ate yesterday or my favorite chole-bhature place. That’s not right for cricket. Talk about what the athlete is going through, instead, Kohli said. Kohli’s super fit, like Cristiano Ronaldo or Novak Djokovic. He’s known for his dedication and hardly ever indulges in his favorite foods so he can…

MS Dhoni, the iconic Indian cricketer and ex-captain, was talking about that time in the 2019 IPL when he got mad and ran onto the field to argue with the umpires about a no-ball call that was up for debate. It all went down in the last part of the Rajasthan Royals versus Chennai Super Kings game in Jaipur on April 11, 2019. CSK needed 8 runs in 3 balls when Ben Stokes bowled what looked like a no-ball. The umpire first called it a no-ball but then changed his mind. That’s when Dhoni lost it and stormed onto the…

Back in 1996, March 17th was a huge day. It was probably the biggest moment ever for Sri Lankan cricket. Arjuna Ranatunga led his team and they actually beat Australia in the Wills World Cup final. Winning that ODI World Cup? Still a massive deal in cricket history. That game really showed how tough Sri Lanka was, facing off against a super strong Aussie team. This game that everyone remembers went down at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Pakistan. Aravinda de Silva just went off that day. He pretty much won the game himself with both his batting and bowling,…
