New Delhi: With the IPL 2025 resuming after a brief hiatus, the JSW and GMR co-owned Delhi Capitals are set to take on the Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday.
Speaking on the eve of their first match after the IPL resumption, Delhi Capitals’ all-rounder Vipraj Nigam said, “We are taking it as a fresh start. Our focus is on how we began our campaign from the first game, and we will try to continue that momentum.”
“We have a few replacements. It is tough to replace Mitchell Starc, but we have regrouped as a team. We don’t want to dwell on the absence of players who are not here, but we will try to give our best with the players available,” he added.
Speaking about his equation with Kuldeep Yadav, Vipraj said, “The good thing is that we are from the same state, and I’ve played a good number of matches with him. The IPL is a new experience for me, he has been playing for a long time and sees me both as a player and as a younger brother.”
When asked about the importance of domestic cricket and state T20 leagues, the 20-year-old said, “The domestic season is always important for an Indian player. You have to prepare for all three formats. If the T20s start early, the IPL becomes a good experience for you, but it’s not always like that. You have to play red-ball and then white-ball cricket. There are always challenges, and you have to switch and adapt, but it’s fun to play like this throughout the season.”
“The state league gives a similar kind of experience. It’s the same process and pressure. I’ve been playing in the state league for the past two seasons, and I had a very good experience. It is helping me now in the IPL, the state league plays a very important role,” he added.
Delhi Capitals will take on Gujarat Titans in their 12th match of IPL 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday.

With Brandon Hyde out in Baltimore, pressure is on GM Mike Elias and the Orioles’ players to turn things around
The Baltimore Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde on Saturday after an awful start to the season, one that is widely considered to be the most disappointing start to 2025 by any team in MLB.While no manager gets fired over the result of one game, Hyde’s final contest at the helm — a 4-3 loss on Friday at home against the Nationals — certainly fits the genre of defeat that serves as the final straw for a skipper on the hot seat. After Nationals starter MacKenzie Gore departed in the fourth, Baltimore mustered just one unearned run against a Washington bullpen that entered the evening with a 6.75 ERA, 29th in MLB. Facing another struggling team that had lost eight of its previous nine games, the Orioles stranded 15 runners and failed to preserve a 3-2 lead through seven innings.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWith two […]

Rooney: Haaland not taking penalty shows he’s no Messi or Ronaldo
Erling Haaland cannot be considered in the same bracket as Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo after giving up a penalty in Man City's FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace, says Wayne Rooney.City were beaten 1-0 at Wembley by Crystal Palace after Omar Marmoush had a first-half penalty saved by Dean Henderson, who was fortunate to still be on the pitch after avoiding a red card review by the VAR. Haaland, City's usual penalty taker, handed the ball to Marmoush with 10 minutes left of the half and Palace 1-0 up thanks to Eberechi Eze's early opener, but Henderson guessed correctly to deny him.
