BENGALURU :Punjab Kings batsmen Nehal Wadhera and Prabhsimran Singh said new coach Ricky Ponting had already made a big impact with his positive approach after the team continued their winning start to the new Indian Premier League season.
France: Paris St. Germain recovered from a two-goal deficit to beat second-tier Dunkerque 4-2 on Tuesday and secure their place in the French Cup final as they chase a record-extending 16th title.
Lucknow Super Giants spinner Digvesh Singh Rathi was fined 25 percent of his match fees and handed a demerit point for his unusual 'letter-writing' celebration after dismissing Punjab Kings batter Priyansh Arya. The Board of Control for Cricket in India penalised Rathi for "breaching the IPL Code of Conduct" during LSG's match against PBKS at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday. PBKS won the game by eight wickets.
The IPL 2025 has seen quite a few stars taking a beating to their reputation. Rohit Sharma has not been in great form, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin have not been at their best touch while other reputed names have also not performed up to the potential. But what is happening to MS Dhoni is unthinkable. His position in the Chennai Super Kings XI is being questioned, especially after he came to bat extremely low down the order with CSK chasing in a couple of games.
Shreyas Iyer scored his second half-century of IPL 2025 as Punjab Kings comfortably defeated Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday. The PBKS skipper remained unbeaten on 50 with the help of 3 fours and 4 sixes. It was a brilliant batting display from Shreyas and his knock earned him praises from both experts as well as fans. Legendary Indian cricket team batter Sunil Gavaskar was also a fan of Shreyas' batting and on commentary, he said that Shreyas did not get the credit he deserved for KKR's title winning campaign in 2024. Shreyas was the captain of the KKR side but was released after the season.
Punjab Kings continue to rise in the IPL 2025. With the Shreyas Iyer-led side's latest win over Lucknow Super Giants, Punjab Kings are among the top three in the IPL points table. New Punjab Kings coach Ricky Ponting had said that his aim is to make this PBKS group the 'best' Punjab Kings side ever and it looks like they have begun on that path on a strong footing. As far as the highest run-scorer is concerned LSG's Nicholas Pooran holds the Orange Cap with a tally of 189. The highest wicket-taker is Chennai Super Kings Noor Ahmad and he holds the Purple cap with nine scalps.
Defending Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) only have one win from the first two games of the campaign, with their latest defeat coming against Mumbai Indians (MI) on Monday. The Knight Riders suffered an 8-wicket defeat after putting up 116 runs on the board. Ramandeep Singh, who came out to bat the No. 9 spot, was the second-highest scorer for KKR, adding 22 runs off 12 balls to the total, only behind Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who scored 26 off 16. After the game, Ramandeep said that he wants to contribute more to the team by opening the batting.
BIELEFELD, Germany: German Cup holders Bayer Leverkusen suffered a shock 2-1 elimination at Arminia Bielefeld in the semifinals of the competition on Tuesday. Xabi Alonso’s side were heavily favored to reach their second successive final but were outclassed from start to finish by their underdog opponents. Jonathan Tah’s 17th-minute goal was canceled out by a Marius Woerl strike for the hosts three minutes later. Maximilian Grosser’s goal in first-half stoppage time would prove the difference for Bielefeld, who have now beaten four top-division opponents on their way to the final. Bielefeld, who have never made a German Cup final, became just the fourth third-division team to reach the showpiece event. Should Bielefeld win in Berlin in May — they will face either RB Leipzig or Stuttgart — the club will be rewarded with a Europa League spot next season. Home coach Michel Kniat said: “We didn’t need luck at all because we were on the front foot the whole time.” The coach said he “normally wouldn’t have a drink with the players, but tonight I’ll make an exception,” adding that “nobody will go to sleep in this city tonight.” Leverkusen’s Robert Andrich said it was “by far our worst game of the season” and added that “Bielefeld deserved the win tonight, which means we did plenty of things wrong.” Leverkusen coach Alonso came into the game having never lost in 10 matches in the competition and needed just one more victory to beat Louis van Gaal’s all-time record set as Bayern Munich manager. Everything seemed to go according to plan when Leverkusen took the lead after 17 minutes, Tah tapping in unmarked at the far post. The hosts hit back almost immediately however, Woerl taking advantage of a sloppy clearance attempt by
