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.

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.

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…
