Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings LIVE Updates: Rohit Sharma is playing a fiery knock as one-down Mumbai Indians cruise in the chase of 177 runs against Chennai Super Kings at Wankhde Stadium.

'Babar Azam Missed Century By Just 99 Runs': Pakistan Star Trolled For Failing In 2nd New Zealand ODI
The fans went hard on Pakisan's start batter Babar Azam after he failed to perform for his side during the second ODI match against New Zealand at Seddon Park, Hamilton. Chasing 293 runs against the Blackcaps, Pakistan lost their opening wicket in the form of Abdullah Shafique for just 6 runs on the board. This is when Babar arrived at the crease but his innings too could not last long. New Zealand's right-arm pacer Jacob Duffy dismissed Babar for the latter's individual score of 1 off 3 balls. It was a back of a length delivery from Duffy that square up Babar and ended up taking the outside edge of his bat to slip.

"Want To Dedicate It...": Ashutosh Sharma Takes Surprise Name After Miracle Chase In DC vs LSG IPL 2025 Game
Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant felt his bowlers could have done the basics better at the back end as the target of 210 was defendable against a marauding Delhi Capitals who won by one wicket with three balls to spare in their IPL match on Monday. Ashutosh Sharma's 66 not out of 31 balls and Vipraj Nigam's 39 off 15 deliveries fashioned what looked like an improbable win after DC were dead and buried at 113 for 6. "I think our top-order batters played really well and I think it was a pretty good score on this wicket. We got early wickets, but we knew it was a good wicket to bat on. We had to keep doing the basics right more often. I think they had a couple of good partnerships," Pant said at post-match presentation ceremony.
