"Incredible Batting": Ex-India Star Praises Shubman Gill's Masterclass Knock vs KKR

On a challenging Eden Gardens pitch that offered little to stroke-makers, Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Shubman Gill produced a batting masterclass to guide his side to a convincing 39-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). Gill's elegant 90 off 55 deliveries, studded with 10 boundaries and 3 sixes, helped GT post a formidable total that proved beyond KKR's reach. Former India batter and JioStar expert Ambati Rayudu lauded Gill's knock, highlighting how the young opener adapted to the sluggish surface and turned the momentum in Gujarat's favour.

IPL 2025: Ambati Rayudu Gives Up On CSK, Drops Blunt "Even MS Dhoni" Remark

Former India batter Ambati Rayudu feels that Chennai Super Kings have no chance to make a comeback in the IPL 2025 following their loss against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. It was CSK's sixth loss of the season in eight games as the five-time champions have been placed at the bottom of the points table. Once again, CSK failed to get a positive start from their openers, but debutant Ayush Mhatre showed some promise with a knock of 32 in 15 balls with the help of two sixes and four fours before Ravindra Jadeja and Shivam Dube struck half-centuries to take the side to 176/5 in 20 overs after being asked to bat first.

Ambati Rayudu Blasts Gujarat Titans For Under-Utilizing Star Spinner, Says "Doesn't Make Sense"

Former India batter and multiple times IPL winner Ambati Rayudu said he was puzzled by the decision from Gujarat Titans' (GT) to give just one over of bowling to left-arm spinner R Sai Kishore during their seven-wicket win over Delhi Capitals (DC). Last year when GT played against DC at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Kishore bowled just one over - the 19th over, due to the presence of left-handed batters Axar Patel and Rishabh Pant at that time. On Saturday, at the Narendra Modi Stadium, when GT faced DC in an afternoon game, Kishore again got to bowl just one over - the 20th over, where he conceded only nine runs and took out Ashutosh Sharma.

"Once You Get Lost In Domestic System...": Ex-India Star On Karun Nair's Comeback

It was a comeback to remember for Karun Nair as he marked his Indian Premier League return with a classy 89 off 40 balls. The knock that was laced with 12 fours and 5 sixes came for Delhi Capitals in the side's IPL 2025 match vs Mumbai Indians at Arun Jaitely Stadium on Sunday. DC were in a state of bother after losing Jake Fraser-McGurk on the first ball of the innings. Nair came in to bat at number 3 and played a herioc knock to nearly seal the game for his side. DC eventually lost the game by 12 runs after failing to hold their nerves in the perfect thriller, but Nair's knock did't go unnoticed.

Ambati Rayudu, former Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians player, has been quite vocal in his support for MS Dhoni. At 43, Dhoni is the oldest player in the IPL 2025.

"Hardik Doesn't Need Inputs": Ambati Rayudu, Sanjay Bangar Clash Over Rohit Sharma's Role

Rohit Sharma's usage as an 'Impact Substitute' by the Mumbai Indians since the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season has divided opinions. Rohit, at the age of 37, is being used rather cautiously by the franchise, with the management deciding against putting him in the field while MI are fielding. With Hardik Pandya leading the side, Suryakumar Yadav is being used as his deputy, helping him make decision on the field. With Jasprit Bumrah also now a part of the unit, Hardik has some reliable 'leaders' to consult.
