A major security scare unfolded during the high-profile Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Eden Gardens on Wednesday after the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) received a bomb threat via email. The alarming message was found in CAB's official email inbox and originated from an unknown ID. Confirming the development, CAB president Snehasish Ganguly said that the matter is being investigated and all necessary precautions have been taken. "The mail was detected from an unknown ID in CAB's official email during the match. The police are investigating the matter while security at Eden Gardens has been beefed up," Ganguly said.
Crowd favourite MS Dhoni skipped practice for the second consecutive day as fans thronging the Eden Gardens on Tuesday faced disappointment again. However, his ardent supporters took solace from Chennai Super Kings bowling coach Eric Simons' confirmation about the talisman's participation in Wednesday's Indian Premier League match against Kolkata Knight Riders, a must-win outing for the home team. Simons said the 43-year-old Dhoni is "fine" and "will play" the game, which could be his last competitive outing at the hallowed venue. "Yes, he's expected to play tomorrow," said Simons, explaining that Dhoni knows exactly how to manage his preparation.
Former Indian cricket team skipper Sourav Ganguly met Rajasthan Royals' 14-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi after the IPL 2025 match against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday. It was a poor show from Vaibhav who was dismissed for just four runs as his side slumped to an one-run loss. According to a report by Sangbad Pratidin, Ganguly met Sanju Samson and RR head coach Rahul Dravid before catching up with Vaibhav. Ganguly took a look at Vaibhav's bat and also gave a pep talk to the youngster. "I have seen your game. Keep playing the way you play fearless cricket. There is no need to change the game," he said according to the report.
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar made a unique assessment of the bowling of Rajasthan Royals' stand-in captain Riyan Parag. It happened after Parag claimed the wicket of Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Ajinkya Rahane during the IPL 2025 match between the sides on Sunday. On the fourth ball of the 13th over, Parag bowled with a round-arm release, undercutting the off spin. As a result the ball did not bounce much and slid after pitching. Rahane tried to play a sweep shot and got a top edge on it which was caught by RR wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel.
NEW DELHI :Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag became the first batter in the Indian Premier League's history to smash six sixes off successive deliveries he faced even if it could not prevent their narrow loss to Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday.
Kolkata Knight Riders kept their IPL 2025 playoffs hopes alive with a thrilling victory over Rajasthan Royals on Sunday at the Eden Gardens. Opting to bat, KKR posted a whopping total of 206/4 in 20 overs with Andre Russell regaining his form and hitting 57* off 25 balls. Later, RR's had almost clinched a stunning win but KKR bounced back and won the match by just one run. The biggest star for RR was their captain Riyan Parag, who hammered 95 off 45 balls and kept his side in the hunt.
Under-fire Jamaican star Andre Russell on Sunday silenced critics with a match-winning knock and his teammate Varun Chakravarthy revealed that the veteran all-rounder is keen to continue playing in the IPL for "easily six more years." Russell, who turned 37 recently, had come under scrutiny for his patchy form this season after being retained by the defending champions for Rs 12 crore in a three-year deal ahead of the mega auction. With just 72 runs from seven innings at an average of 10.28, including four single-digit scores, questions were beginning to be raised about his place in the side.
