Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav powered Mumbai Indians to a commanding nine-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. Chasing 177, MI made light work of the target, finishing at 177 for 1 in just 15.5 overs.
Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal hit half-centuries as Royal Challengers Bengaluru pulled off a seven-wicket win over Punjab Kings in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash on Sunday. Chasing 158 for the win, Kohli, who made an unbeaten 73, and Padikkal, 61, added 103 runs for the second wicket as RCB achieved their target with seven balls to spare at Mullanpur. By doing so, RCB avenged their loss to PBKS at home in a rain-curtailed game earlier this week.
Stylish Mumbai Indians opener Rohit Sharma, who set the Wankhede Stadium on fire on Sunday with an unbeaten half-century in the massive win against Chennai Super Kings, said he never doubted his abilities even when he was going through a prolonged bad patch, extending to the period when India were soundly thrashed at home by New Zealand in the three-match Test series. With the 'Player of the Match' trophy in his hand, Rohit, who slammed four boundaries and six maximums in his unbeaten 45-ball 76 and shared an unbroken 114-run partnership with Suryakumar Yadav in the nine-wicket win, added he always believed in the virtue of practising hard even when the chips were down.
AUGSBURG, Germany: Bayer Leverkusen’s hopes of a second consecutive Bundesliga title faded with a 1-1 draw at St. Pauli on Sunday. Patrik Schick put Leverkusen ahead in the first half but Carlo Boukhalfa equalized in the 78th to leave the defending champion eight points behind Bayern Munich with four rounds remaining. Bayern, which beat Heidenheim 4-0 on Saturday, could clinch the title on Saturday if it beats Mainz and Leverkusen loses to Augsberg. Last season, Leverkusen completed an unprecedented unbeaten Bundesliga season for its first Germany league title — and also went unbeaten to lift the German Cup. Dortmund wins after Champions League elimination Borussia Dortmund beat Borussia Moenchengladbach 3-2 in Dortmund’s first game since its Champions League elimination. Dortmund scored three goals in the space of nine minutes to turn the game around just before halftime. Fresh off scoring a hat trick against Barcelona on Tuesday, Serhou Guirassy leveled the score in the 41st off Pascal Gross’ cross following Ko Itakura’s opener for Moenchengladbach. Felix Nmecha made it 2-1 off a cross from Yan Couto soon after.
LEICESTER: Leicester City were relegated from the Premier League as Liverpool moved to within one win of the title on Sunday with a 1-0 victory at the King Power. Trent Alexander-Arnold came off the bench to score the only goal 14 minutes from time as the Reds moved to the brink of a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title. Liverpool could be crowned champions on Wednesday should Arsenal lose at home to Crystal Palace. If the Gunners avoid defeat, Arne Slot’s men have the chance to seal the deal when Tottenham visit Anfield next Sunday. Leicester have not scored a single goal at home since December as nine consecutive defeats at the King Power have taken Ruud van Nistelrooy’s men down. Alexander-Arnold appears to be coming toward the end of his time at his boyhood club. The England international is reportedly close to joining Real Madrid when his contract expires at the end of the season. Unlike Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who have signed new deals in recent weeks to prolong their stay at Anfield, Alexander-Arnold has just weeks to run on his current deal. “I’ve said all season, I’m not going to speak on my situation,” Alexander-Arnold told Sky Sports. “But these days like today are always special. “Scoring goals, playing, winning games, being close to winning titles as well as being in title races.
With his side scoring an emphatic win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Hardik Pandya lauded the partnership between Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav and said the team does not worry about their ex-captain's batting form. Rohit and Suryakumar's explosive century partnership helped MI win by nine wickets. MI are now placed sixth in the points table. "The way I think we are playing the sport, we knew it was going to be a high-scoring game and we took the percentage. The way Rohit and Suryakumar bat, it is a relief from outside. You do not have to worry about Rohit's form, when he comes good, we know the opposition will be out of the game and the way Surya batted it was great as well, that partnership took the game away. We are sticking to basics. We are playing simple cricket and we are sticking to our plans," Hardik said during the post-match presentation.
India's star pacer Mohammed Siraj has opened up on not being picked for Champions Trophy 2025. The fast bowler was struggling with his form ahead of the tournament and that saw him being exluded from the India squad for the mega event. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana were the pure pacers that India picked. The team went on to win the title with a convincing victory over New Zealand in the final match of the tournament. Notably, India remained unbeaten at the event, having won five consecutive matches.
Days after playing a quickfire half-century against Punjab Kings (PBKS), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter Tim David has expressed his desire to bat higher up the order. David's 25-ball 50 helped RCB post a total of 95 on the board after an embarrassing collapse that saw them lose seven wickets for just 42 runs. Despite RCB eventually losing the match, David's knock earned him plaudits and also sparked a debate whether he should be allowed to bat higher up the order. Ahead of the second match of their double-header against PBKS on Sunday, David gave a cheeky reply after he was asked about his batting order.
