Rachin Ravindra played the anchor as Chennai Super Kings registered an easy four-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in their IPL 2025 campaign opener at Chepauk on Sunday. The result also saw MI continuing their 13-year long unwanted streak of losing the opening match of their campaign.
It was a disastrous start to the IPL 2025 campaign for Mumbai Indians star batter Rohit Sharma as he was dismissed for a duck during the match against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. In the very first over of the match, Rohit tried to flick a delivery from Khaleel Ahmed towards the leg-side but ended up completely miscuing the shot. The ball went straight to Shivam Dube at mid-wicket who made no mistake in completing the catch. This was the 18th duck for Rohit Sharma in IPL - the joint-most by any batter along with Australia's Glenn Maxwell and former Indian cricket team star Dinesh Karthik.
Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan scored his maiden century of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 in his first match for new franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) against Rajasthan Royals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Sunday. Reflecting on his unbeaten 47-ball 106, Kishan said he knew of his abilities and was waiting for this knock. Kishan, who scored 320 including a half-century in the last season for Mumbai Indians, was bought by SRH for Rs 11.25 crore, the costliest purchase by the franchise in last year's auction in Jeddah.
MS Dhoni left everyone stunned with a brilliant stumping to dismiss Suryakumar Yadav during the IPL 2025 encounter between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians on Sunday. The former Indian cricket team skipper is well known for his sensational glovework behind the stumps and this was yet another example of his brilliance. During the 11th over of the MI innings, Suryakumar was beaten by a flighted delivery from Noor Ahmad and even before he could complete his bat swing, Dhoni completed the stumping. The lighting quick stumping was vintage Dhoni and it left both fans and experts impressed.
Fifties by Rachin Ravindra (65 not out) and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad (53) helped Chennai Super Kings kickstart their IPL 2025 campaign with a four-wicket win over Mumbai Indians at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday. After Noor Ahmad's 4-18 and Khaleel Ahmed's 3-29 helped CSK restrict MI to 155/9, Gaikwad mixed aggression and timing to hit six fours and three sixes while bringing up his fifty in 22 balls, his fastest half-century in the tournament. Despite wickets falling from the other end, Ravindra held one end firm to hit an unbeaten 45-ball 65, laced with two fours and four sixes, as CSK completed a nervy win. For MI, who have not won their first match of an IPL season since 2012, debutant Vignesh Puthur's spell of 3-32 would be the biggest positive.
"No one moves on so quickly in life," Nikhat Zareen said, her voice heavy with the weight of her painful Paris Olympics experience. Struggling with a knee injury after Paris and the looming uncertainty surrounding the sport's future in the Olympics, the two-time World Champion found herself grappling with the thought that her dream of standing on the Olympic podium might never be realised. But the recent inclusion of boxing in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics has reignited the spark of hope within her. After being sidelined with injury since the Paris Games, the 28-year-old is now determined to make a comeback and aims to be competition-ready by May.
