After LSG’s impressive win over SRH, Shardul Thakur shared that it was actually head coach Zaheer Khan who convinced him to join the Lucknow Super Giants. He was on the verge of heading to England to play County cricket after not being picked in the IPL 2025 Auction. Thakur’s outstanding performance, where he took four wickets for just 34 runs, played a big part in helping Lucknow secure a 5-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad. Thanks to this performance, he also climbed to the top of the Purple Cap standings.  Initially, Thakur wasn’t expecting to be in the IPL this season.…

They’re going to sort things out after a meeting in Guwahati on March 29 that involves BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia, head coach Gautam Gambhir, and chief selector Ajit Agarkar. Shreyas and Ishan Kishan from Sunrisers Hyderabad lost their BCCI contracts last year. The board was unhappy with…

When Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) took on the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, things didn’t start off the way everyone expected. Their usual big hitters struggled to find their rhythm, but 23-year-old Aniket Verma came through in a big way. Batting at number six, he wowed everyone by blasting 36 runs off just 13 balls, hitting five sixes without even a single four to his name. His incredible strike rate of nearly 277 was a major boost, helping SRH to finish with a total of 190 runs for 9 wickets on a pitch that…

Rohit Sharma might not be part of the Indian Test team for the series against England later this year. According to reports from India Today, the Indian captain is considering sitting this one out following his poor performance during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. On the bright side, it looks like Virat Kohli will likely keep his place in the team. Both players had a rough time while playing in Australia, and to make things even tougher for Rohit, he missed the New Year’s Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Rohit wasn’t on the field for the first Test at the Perth…

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia is planning to catch up with Gautam Gambhir, the head coach for the Indian men’s cricket team, and the chief selector, Ajit Agarkar, this week. They’re scheduled to meet during an IPL 2025 match between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati. Typically, the cricket board releases player contracts before the IPL season kicks off, but this time, we’ve only seen the contracts for the women’s team so far. According to Dainik Jagran, the hold-up in announcing the central contracts seems to be related to Gambhir being unavailable for talks because of personal stuff. Sources…

Ex-New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull has raised some serious questions about how the Rajasthan Royals approached their second game in IPL 2025 against the Kolkata Knight Riders. He was puzzled about the team’s choice to send Shimron Hetmyer out to bat at No. 8 when their main batsmen had already been dismissed. It was during Wednesday’s match in Guwahati when Rajasthan decided to bring in Shubham Dubey as the impact substitute instead of letting Hetmyer bat higher up in the order. Doull couldn’t help but wonder why Rajasthan seemed to be holding back Hetmyer. He pointed out that they had…
