When Ravindra Jadeja smacked 10 runs off the last two balls in the IPL 2023 final, Chennai Super Kings clinched their fifth title at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The whole CSK camp went wild, but Mohit Sharma was crushed because he couldn’t get Gujarat Titans across the finish line. Before that final over, everything had been going great for Mohit. He’d had a comeback season, grabbing 27 wickets for GT, the team he’d joined as a net bowler in 2022. But in that last over, he only gave up three runs in the first four balls. Then his control…

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), led by Rishabh Pant, are already facing a setback before the IPL 2025 season even begins. Sanjiv Goenka’s RPSG group-owned team will kick off their IPL 2025 run against Delhi Capitals in Vishakhapatnam on March 24. However, LSG will only have limited access to their star Australian all-rounder, Mitchell Marsh, for the IPL 2025 season. Marsh, who was bought for Rs 3.3 crore at last year’s IPL 2025 mega auction. He was sidelined from Australia’s ODI tour of Sri Lanka and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on January 31 due to lower back pain and…

MS Dhoni showed up as a wicketkeeper who could really smack the ball around. His career took off fast, and just about three years after he started playing internationally, he became India’s captain. Right away, the team won the first-ever ICC World T20. He started as a top-order hitter who loved to tear into bowlers, but he settled into the middle order and became one of the best finishers ever. India grabbed two more ICC titles too, winning the 2011 ODI World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy. Plus, he was amazing behind the stumps, which always kept batters on…

Glenn McGrath, the Aussie cricket legend, thinks Jasprit Bumrah needs to focus more on his fitness when he’s not playing if he wants to have a long career. Bumrah, the Indian fast bowler, has had some injury problems lately. McGrath mentioned recently that Bumrah has figured out ways to handle the stress on his body, but because he bowls so fast, he needs to be careful. McGrath even brought up his own career, saying he could bowl for longer because he wasn’t as fast as Bumrah. He puts his body through a lot. He’s learned to deal with it, but…

Nitish Kumar Reddy, the Indian all-rounder, is ready to play for Sunrisers Hyderabad again. He passed a fitness test after being out for two months with a side strain since the T20I series against England. PTI reports that Reddy finished all the fitness tests, like the yo-yo test, at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. The physios said he’s good to go. Reddy last played for India in the first T20I against England on January 22 at Eden Gardens, but he didn’t get to bat or bowl. He practiced before the second T20I in Chennai but had to miss…

IPL 2025 is kicking off on March 22nd, and the first game’s a big one: Kolkata Knight Riders (the champs) against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Now, before the T20 madness begins, there’s been a buzz about a new rule change. Apparently, the BCCI (that’s the Board of Control for Cricket in India) has made it so teams can bring in temporary players under special circumstances. Cricbuzz says the BCCI already told all ten teams about this. The catch? Any replacement player has to come from a pool of registered, available players (RAPP). Word is, team managers are saying they’ve never actually…

Cricket Canada CEO Salman Khan is in hot water with corruption allegations. Word is, he’s being charged with theft and fraud from his time as president of the Calgary and District Cricket League (2014-2016). Calgary Police say they think two guys stole around $200,000 from the league. The cops say payments were made to businesses for supposed repairs and upgrades to the league’s stuff. But either the work wasn’t done, or it was done cheap with overpriced materials. The police statement says that they found that between January 2014 and December 2016, the ex-treasurer and ex-president of the C DCL…

After just missing the Women’s Premier League title twice, Delhi Capitals is aiming for that third time’s the charm moment against Mumbai Indians in their third final in a row. The game’s on Saturday at Brabourne Stadium. Meg Lanning’s Delhi Capitals had a good run in the league stage, winning five and losing three of their eight games. That put them at the top, earning them a direct spot in the final. Talking about playing in their third final and the team’s performance this season, Lanning said, What happened before doesn’t really matter, not even this year’s games. It all…

The Kolkata Knight Riders are getting ready to defend their IPL title. The three-time champs will play Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Eden Gardens on March 22 to kick off the season. KKR lost some important players from last year’s winning team, like Shreyas Iyer and Gautam Gambhir, who was a legend for the team. Iyer, who was captain last year, wasn’t kept by KKR before the IPL auction. Punjab Kings signed him for a ton of money. Gambhir, the mentor, is now the head coach for the Indian men’s cricket team, leaving KKR with two big spots to fill. Dwayne…

Midway through India’s successful Champions Trophy run, former England captains Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain began stirring the pot by stating that Rohit Sharma’s team is benefiting from playing at only one venue unlike their rivals. India did not go to Pakistan for the ICC tournament because of the geopolitical tensions there; instead according to the Hybrid Model all their games including semifinal and final were played in Dubai. The games not including India took place in three sites throughout Pakistan. Apart from the two ex England cricketers, Rassie van der Dussen and Pat Cummins also stated their views on…
