Gujarat Titans fast bowler Kagiso Rabada will be available to play in their next Indian Premier League (IPL) match after serving a one-month suspension for taking a recreational drug, Titans Director of Cricket Vikram Solanki said.
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bowl against Delhi Capitals on Monday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League. The race for the playoffs is heating up, and the Sunrisers need a victory to keep themselves in as they stand on the brink of elimination. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have lost three out of their last four fixtures and stand just outside the qualification bracket. DC sit in the fifth spot with 12 points and will be keen on rekindling their campaign. SRH have made a bold call as they dropped all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy for the do-or-die fixture.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have signed Gujarat wicketkeeper-batter Urvil Patel as a replacement for Vansh Bedi, who has been ruled out of the remainder of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 due to a ligament tear in his left ankle. Bedi was on the verge of making his IPL debut during CSK's last match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. He was named in the playing XI but picked up the injury moments before the game and was replaced by Deepak Hooda. With Bedi ruled out of the season, CSK moved quickly to bring in Urvil Patel.
India pacer Mohammed Shami received a death threat via email on Sunday, and an FIR has been registered by the Cyber Crime Police Station of Uttar Pradesh's Amroha district. The FIR, which is with IANS, was lodged on Monday on the orders of the Superintendent of Police (SP) and stated that the report was registered on behalf of Shami by his brother Haseeb and named Rajput Sindar as the sender of the threat email.
South African speedster Kagiso Rabada served a one-month ban, reduced from three months, for using a recreational drug during the SA20, held earlier this year, according to ESPNcricinfo. In a statement issued by the South African Institute for Drug Free Sports (SAIDS) confirmed, Rabada, who was representing MI Cape Town, had failed a doping test on January 2 following their fixture against Durban Super Giants.
Chennai Super Kings have signed Gujarat wicketkeeper-batter Urvil Patel as a replacement for Vansh Bedi, who has been ruled out of the remainder of the IPL due to a ligament tear in his left ankle. Patel made headlines in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy when he smashed a 28-ball century -- the joint-fastest T20 hundred by an Indian -- against Tripura. The 26-year-old has featured in 47 T20 matches, scoring 1,162 runs. He was previously part of the Gujarat Titans squad in the 2023 season. Patel joins CSK at his base price of Rs 30 lakh.
Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming backed pacer Khaleel Ahmed to the hilt despite leaking 33 runs in the 19th over against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, but said they will be exploring more options going forward in the Indian Premier League. CSK skipper MS Dhoni turned to Ahmed despite the impressive Anshul Kamboj (3-0-25-0) having one over remaining, but the left-arm quick wilted under Romario Shepherd's assault. "Khaleel has done really well for us this season, so, there's no reason for MS to have changed that. Kamboj is growing into his role nicely. He has the ability to do death (over bowling). He will be an option going forward, but there was no reason why Khaleel would be replaced to do that," said Fleming in the post-match press conference on Saturday night.
It is crunch time in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) and one of the biggest success stories this season has been that of Gujarat Titans. The 2022 champions have had a prolific run in the tournament and while the fast bowling has been a revelation, it is really their batting unit which has been a cut above the rest in the competition. Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler and Shubman Gill have been brilliantly consistent - all scoring in excess of 450 runs at a scoring rate of 150+ in the tournament.
