NEW DELHI : Virat Kohli's trophy cabinet is chock full of awards from his international career but the batsman can end the long wait to win the Indian Premier League (IPL) title when his Royal Challengers Bengaluru play Punjab Kings in Tuesday's final.
The Oilers were crestfallen. Heads sank into hands. Tears flowed from reddened eyes.
NEW DELHI :Jitesh Sharma admits to being dazzled by the big-name players in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru dressing room at first but the stumper-batter proved he deserves his place among them after propelling his team into an Indian Premier League qualifier.
Back in the Indian team after a long gap of eight years, batter Karun Nair on Saturday expressed his delight and said he was "awaiting this call" after amassing big runs in the 2024-25 domestic season. Having last played in 2017, Nair was dropped from the team soon after becoming the second triple centurion in Tests from India. "Grateful to get back, happy and proud and fortunate. Found out like all of you found out (about his selection). Was eagerly awaiting the call, got a lot of messages from close ones," Nair said after playing a pivotal role in Delhi Capitals' six-wicket win over Punjab Kings in the IPL here.
Gujarat Titans were dealt a massive blow in their bid to finish in the Top 2 going into the IPL 2025 playoffs as the Shubman Gill-led side slumped to a loss against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. Following this loss, GT are currently top of the table with 18 points from 14 matches. However, with Punjab Kings, Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru having a game in hand, their fortunes in the Top 2 race are out in their hands. If RCB win their game against Lucknow Super Giants, they will surely finish in the Top 2. In the other match, if PBKS beat MI, they will finish in the top 2. However, if MI beat PBKS, they will have 18 points - same as GT - but they will finish in Top 2 thanks to a better Net Run Rate (NRR).
Afghanistan spinner Noor Ahmad and India's Anshul Khamboj took three wickets each, while Ravindra Jadeja claimed two scalps, to trigger a batting collapse as Chennai Super Kings bundled out hosts Gujarat Titans for 147 in 18.3 overs for a big win in Match 67 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 here on Sunday. It turned out to be a Super Sunday for Chennai Super Kings as the five-time champions ended their season with a massive 83-run victory over Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Gujarat Titans (GT) veteran spinner Rashid Khan has added his name to an unwanted list. He has conceded the most sixes (31) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Rashid, the first Afghan player in the IPL, has equalled the record of conceding the most number of sixes with GT's front-line seamer Mohammed Siraj. He was smashed for three sixes on Sunday during his outing against the Chennai Super Kings in the ongoing IPL at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium. It was GT's last league stage match, and Rashid ended the group stage with nine wickets in 14 matches, his worst average of 53.66 since his IPL debut in 2017.
Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings will be determined to give their all in the battle of top-two finish when they face each other in their final league stage fixture of the Indian Premier League here on Monday. As the four teams -- Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, MI and PBKS -- have sealed the IPL playoff spots much earlier than ever before, the remaining league matches will determine the final standings. With 17 points, PBKS are currently placed second but a defeat to MI will push them to the third or the fourth spot, setting them up for the Eliminator on May 30.
