The Chennai Super Kings slumped to their second consecutive loss in IPL 2025 as the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side was outplayed by the Rajasthan Royals on Sunday. It was a batting performance that left a lot to be desired despite skipper Gaikwad scoring a half-century. Following the result, former Indian cricket team spinner Harbhajan Singh pointed out some aspects that he believes are pulling CSK down at the moment. Rahul Tripathi is one of those 'aspects', and Harbhajan doesn't think will be seen in the playing XI when CSK face Delhi Capitals next.
India stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are set to continue their A+ grade BCCI central contract list for 2025-26, while Shreyas Iyer is expected to return to the list after being dropped on the previous occasion due to reportedly missing domestic cricket. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is looking to retain Virat and Rohit in the A contract, which will see them earn Rs 7 crore despite the duo's retirement from the T20I format. Rohit and Virat had their last dance in the format after ending India's ICC trophy drought by lifting the T20 World Cup last year in Barbados.
Pakistan's ODI captain Mohammad Rizwan chose India's prime pace spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah, as the bowler who has caused him difficulty in the present scenario.

In a special show, Rizwan, Fakhar and Naseem Shah had a candid chat with former Pak pacer Wahab Riaz playing the host's role. Wahab posed a question to Pakistan's famed cricketing faces and asked them the 'most difficult player' they had faced.
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.
The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are off to a disappointing start to their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, losing two of the first three matches. The form of the team's talismans, including Ravindra Jadeja, has been a big headache for the side. Even the way the icon MS Dhoni has been used, has triggered a debate. Amid this period of self-introspection and doubts, CSK all-rounder Jadeja took to social media to share a 3-word post, which also featured a picture of him with MS Dhoni.
