"Huge Challenge": Shane Watson's Massive Warning To RCB Ahead Of Chepauk Clash In IPL 2025

Royal Challengers Bengaluru had a superb start to Indian Premier League 2025. The side registered an easy 7-wicket win over defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in the opening match of the season. Virat Kohli scored unbeaten 59 off 26 as RCB chased down the target of 175 in 16.2 overs. Another challenge awaits the Rajat Patidar-led side as it faces Chennai Super Kings in the latter's den next. The clash at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai will take place on Friday. Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson, who has played for both the teams in the past, has warned RCB of CSK's spin potential at Chepauk.

England Great Michael Vaughan Pokes Fun At IPL With 'Strategic Time Out' Jibe: "Only In..."

Former England cricket team skipper Michael Vaughan took to social media to poke fun at the Indian Premier League (IPL) with a 'strategic time-out' jibe. During the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad, LSG needed just 2 runs to win from the last 4 overs. However, at that point, a strategic time-out was taken - a break that both the batting as well as the bowling team can take during the course of an inning. Vaughan found the scenario hilarious and came up with a witty post. "Only in the IPL can you have a strategic time out with 2 needed off 24 balls with 5 wkts remaining," he posted on X.

He previously missed CSK's season opener against Mumbai Indians. “He is recovering,” said Fleming in the press conference.

Semi-Final Berth At Stake As Sunil Chhetri-Powered Bengaluru FC Host Mumbai City FC In Knockout Match

Former Cup winners Bengaluru FC, powered by the evergreen Sunil Chhetri, would look to secure a place in the Indian Super League semi-finals when they host Mumbai City FC in a high-stake knockout clash in Bengaluru on Saturday. The veteran forward Chhetri, who recently came out of International retirement, has already converted four penalties this season and could become the first player to score 10 goals against Mumbai City FC in ISL history.

Skipper Hardik Pandya's much-anticipated comeback after serving a one-match ban will lend the required balance to Mumbai Indians' line-up when they take on an equally desperate Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Saturday as both teams are chasing their first victory in the ongoing edition of the IPL. Mumbai could not break their long standing jinx of losing their IPL opener as Chennai Super Kings comfortably won by four wickets while Gujarat Titans lost a high-scoring game to Punjab Kings by 11 runs. With nearly a week's gap between the first and second games, the MI team spent a few days at Reliance's Jamnagar facility where the whole unit relaxed and engaged in team bonding activities.
