Everyone associated with cricket knows the international calendar is overcrowded. Everyone also knows India is the game’s powerhouse and is shaping it to its will. Solutions and remedies to these situations are in short supply, especially given the interests vested in maintaining them.
Rishabh Pant has had a poor start in IPL 2025. He has failed to shine in batting, while his captaincy has also not been impressive either. Pant has scored only 17 runs across three matches in the ongoing season. To add insult to injury, his team Lucknow Super Giants have lost two of the three games. The franchise owner Sanjiv Goenka, who has developed a reputation of asking questions to his team's captains, was involved in intense chats after the defeats LSG suffered in IPL 2025. Last year, Goenka had come under fire for verbally bashing KL Rahul after the then LSG captain had suffered an embarrassing loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad.
BENGALURU :With the weight of the England captaincy off his shoulders, Jos Buttler is relishing the experience of batting with freedom, the Gujarat Titans player said after his match-winning knock against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
After India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's decision to make a shock switch to Goa from Mumbai due to personal reasons, the star batter opened up on the reason behind his decision on Wednesday. "It was a very tough decision for me. Whatever I am today is because of Mumbai. The city has made me who I am, and all my life, I will be indebted to the MCA," Jaiswal told The Indian Express. "Goa has thrown me a new opportunity and it has offered me a leadership role. My first goal will be to do well for India and whenever I'm not on national duty, I will be playing for Goa and try to make them go deep into the tournament. This was an (important) opportunity which came my way and I just took it."
Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad will aim to get back on the winning track when they face each other on Thursday in a rematch of Indian Premier League 2024 final. Both the teams have had a poor start so far in the 2025 season. While both of them have won just one of their three matches played so far, KKR sit at the bottom spot in the points table, courtesy their poor net run rate. Both the teams will be desperate to revive their campaigns when they lock horns at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
Playing against Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the first time after seven years with them was a bit emotional for Gujarat Titans' pacer Mohammed Siraj. But the pacer, after picking 3-19 and helping his team win by eight wickets at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, said he was all fired up after getting the ball in hand. Siraj brought the heat on with his pace going above 140 and attacked stumps while hitting good length areas consistently to pick a superb 3-19 in his four overs. He rattled RCB in the power-play by castling Devdutt Padikkal and Phil Salt, before taking out a rampaging Liam Livingstone in the fag end. “It was emotional because I played for seven years here (for RCB). There was some nervousness and some emotion, but the moment I got the ball in my hand, it was full-on (intensity). That I am here (ready for the contest through my celebration), and I am a Cristiano Ronaldo fan as well.”
Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi found himself on the receiving end of a lot of trolling from a section of Virat Kohli fans who confused him with Gujarat Titans pacer Arshad Khan. Arshad Khan dismissed Virat cheaply during the IPL 2025 encounter between Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Wednesday. Following the dismissal, Arshad Warsi's comment section on social media platform Instagram was flooded with messages from Virat fans. "Kohli ko out kyun kiya," one fan commented on Warsi's latest Instagram post, which also featured fellow Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn.
A district-level investigation into an alleged fraud involving Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) has implicated several individuals, including relatives of Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami, officials said on Wednesday. District Magistrate (DM) Nidhi Gupta Vats announced late Wednesday evening that a preliminary investigation confirmed the allegations of fraudulent MNREGA wage disbursement. Consequently, orders have been issued to suspend implicated workers listed as workers with MNREGA, register a formal police report and initiate departmental action under the Panchayati Raj Act.
