It’s always emotional, but once the game starts, we both want to win: Krunal Pandya about facing his brother Hardik

View Comments Mumbai: In a high-octane clash at the Wankhede Stadium, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) secured a thrilling 12-run victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) in a final-over nail-biter in the IPL 2025. This marks RCB's third win in four matches, placing them among the early frontrunners in the tournament. Batting first, RCB posted an imposing 221 for 5, powered by impressive knocks from Virat Kohli (67) and skipper Rajat Patidar (64). The duo set the tone with an aggressive but calculated approach, capitalising on a flat Mumbai wicket that offered plenty for the batters. The chase saw MI oscillate between brilliance and struggle. A late onslaught by Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya reignited hopes for the home side, but RCB’s bowlers held their nerve at the death.

We are still humble and grounded, says head coach Hemang Badani on team’s clinical 25-run win against Chennai Super Kings

A. Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday. After opting to bat first, KL Rahul's sublime 77 off 51 balls, Abishek Porel's brisk 33 off 20, and a quickfire unbeaten 24 off 12 from Tristan Stubbs helped Delhi Capitals post 183/6 in their 20 overs.

IPL 2025: LSG edge past MI in nail-biter as Rathi stars and Hardik’s efforts fall short

View Comments Lucknow: In a gripping contest in Lucknow, the Super Giants held their nerve to defeat the Mumbai Indians by 12 runs, defending a target of 204 in the final overs at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on Friday. Despite a valiant all-round effort from Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya, who took 5 for 36 and scored 28 off just 16 balls, MI fell just short in the chase. Suryakumar Yadav struck a fluent half-century to keep Mumbai in the hunt, but a few tight overs at the death swung the game in LSG’s favour. "It’s disappointing when you lose," Hardik admitted afterwards. "We probably gave away 10–12 runs too many in the field, and that made the difference. As a team, we fell short with the bat." Tilak Varma’s unexpected retirement out raised eyebrows, […]

It’s about showing the positive but correct intent: Venkatesh Iyer breaks down KKR’s dominant win over SRH

View Comments Kolkata: Kolkata Knight Riders vice-captain Venkatesh Iyer provided valuable insights into his team's comprehensive 80-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the TATA IPL 2025 on Thursday, emphasising the importance of reading match situations and adapting accordingly. Iyer, who smashed a brilliant 60 off just 29 balls with 7 fours and 3 sixes, played a crucial role in taking KKR to a formidable total of 200 after a cautious start at the Eden Gardens in a replay of the previous edition's final. "A basic but very important meaning of aggression is to show positive but correct intent when we play cricket," Iyer explained when asked about KKR's batting approach. "If we are 50 for six and I still go and tonk everything, that's positive but not correct. If we are to call ourselves smart cricketers, it's very important to […]

IPL 2025: Siraj stars as Buttler’s brilliance leads Gujarat Titans to 8-wicket victory over RCB

View Comments Bengaluru: Jos Buttler’s unbeaten 73 and Mohammed Siraj’s superb 3-19 spell powered Gujarat Titans to a dominant eight-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL on Wednesday.

IPL 2025: Punjab Kings dominate Lucknow Super Giants with commanding eight-wicket victory

View Comments Lucknow: Punjab Kings (PBKS) secured a resounding eight-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on Tuesday, chasing down a modest 171-run target with ease. A stellar 69-run knock from Prabhsimran Singh, complemented by Shreyas Iyer’s unbeaten 52, ensured a dominant win for the visitors. LSG’s batting woes continued as they struggled to build momentum, with captain Rishabh Pant failing to make an impact yet again. The home side fell short by 20-25 runs, as acknowledged by Pant, who admitted their total was insufficient. Early wickets further dented their innings, making it difficult to post a more competitive score. Prabhsimran, who was named Player of the Match, credited team management, including Ricky Ponting, for their unwavering support. "They always instil a winning mindset in us. The key […]

Mumbai Indians home advantage not easy to tackle, says KKR head coach Chandrakant Pandit

View Comments Mumbai: The Kolkata Knight Riders head coach Chandrakant Pandit spoke confidently ahead of their upcoming clash against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday, March 31. The match will be KKR's third in the TATA IPL 2025, following an impressive eight-wicket victory over the Rajasthan Royals in their previous game in Guwahati. In contrast, Mumbai Indians are searching for form after losing their two opening matches of the season. When discussing the Mumbai Indians' bowling attack, Pandit acknowledged they would miss Jasprit Bumrah but cautioned against taking the rest of their bowling lineup lightly. "Bumrah makes a difference to Mumbai, but their other bowlers are also quite capable," Pandit noted. The KKR coach believes his team can capitalise on Mumbai's poor start but will be wary of home advantage. "More than anything, I'm focused on how well […]
