Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya heaped praise on his team's scouting department for unearthing another gem in Ashwani Kumar, after the pace bowler produced the best figures by an Indian on his Indian Premier League debut.
Suryakumar Yadav became just the fifth player for India to cross the 8000-run landmark in the T20 format following his scorching display in the Indian Premier League. The unorthodox batter achieved the feat during Mumbai Indians' 8-wicket triumph over the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in the ongoing 18th edition of the IPL. It was one-way traffic throughout the encounter between two behemoths of the cash-rich league. Suryakumar, with his dynamism and swagger, came in to leave the spectators mesmerised with his explosive cameo to steer MI to its first win of the season.
Mumbai Indians seem to have unleashed another pace sensation in the form of Ashwani Kumar, who made a dream debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) Monday, delivering a match-winning performance against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The young seamer from Jhanjheri, Mohali, was the star with the ball, picking up 4/24 in his three-over spell and playing an instrumental role in restricting KKR to 116. Bought for his base price of INR 30 lakh in the IPL mega auction, Ashwani has had to go through severe hardships before making an explosive debut in the IPL.
Chennai Super Kings faced brutal criticism from former Indian cricket team opener Aakash Chopra after their loss against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025 on Sunday. CSK faltered in their chase of 183 and although skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad scored a half-century, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and even MS Dhoni was dismissed on the first ball of the final over. With two losses in three games, CSK are currently seventh in the points table and Chopra was not happy with their team composition. He questioned the decision to include Jamie Overton in place of Sam Curran and also pointed out that the England all-rounder ended up bowling just two overs in the match.
At a time when teams are amassing big totals with consummate ease in the IPL, Mumbai Indians have bowled out Kolkata Knight Riders for 116 in their latest face-off, an effort that has left New Zealand star Kane Williamson highly impressed. MI won the game by eight wickets on Monday to open their account in the ongoing edition of the league after starting it with two successive reverses. "It was a complete performance. Winning the toss, bowling first, and executing their plans beautifully. Bringing in an extra seamer, Ashwani, who was outstanding. They took wickets consistently, and I think that was the most pleasing aspect," said Williamson on JioHotstar.
Chennai Super Kings are having a tough time in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The five-time champions opened their campaign with a thumping win over the arch-rivals Mumbai Indians but then succumbed against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals. In both the losses, CSK's batting lineup faltered and failed to take the side across the line. To make the matters worse, the legendary MS Dhoni, who was once considered as one of the best finishers, also could not perform as per the expectations.
MS Dhoni is arguably the most astute wicket-keeper among the ones playing today. Over the years, the India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) legend has built up this reputation after several masterstroke DRS (Decision Review System) calls by him saw the original decision overturned by the umpire. Even in IPL 2025, Dhoni has proved his class, as his suggestion for a DRS saw a decision overturned. This has even led to fans labelling it as 'Dhoni Review System' at times. However, is Dhoni really a master? AI does not think so.
As the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises get a hang of what the 2025 season might have in store for them, the first few games have painted an intriguing picture. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) hold the No. 1 spot on the points table, having won both of their games so far, while Delhi Capitals also have a 100 percent record from the first couple of games. In a video that has set social media ablaze, former India opening batter Virender Sehwag could be seen openly mocking RCB, calling them 'gareeb (poor)'.
