Shami, who had reached Brisbane after recovering from COVID-19 and getting a go-ahead, had replaced an injured Jasprit Bumrah in the squad of 15. On Sunday, Shami had a full-fledged session with coach Rahul Dravid welcoming him in the mix after a lay-off of around three months.
Harshal Patel carved his name into the history books with a remarkable individual milestone during their clash against Lucknow Super Giants on Monday. The right-arm pacer became the fastest bowler in Indian Premier League history to reach 150 wickets in terms of balls bowled, surpassing legendary names in the process. Patel achieved the feat by dismissing Aiden Markram in the 16th over of the innings with one of his trademark slower yorkers — a dipping delivery that deceived the South African completely and crashed into the stumps.
Shubman Gill was involved in a heated interaction with the umpire following a controversial dismissal during the IPL 2025 encounter between Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday. Gill looked in brilliant form as he slammed a sensational half-century to provide GT with a near-perfect start. However, on the final ball of the 13th over, he was run-out for 76 off just 38 deliveries. Jos Buttler played a delivery from Zeeshan Ansari towards short fine leg and went for a quick single. However, Harshal Patel quickly collected the ball and his throw crashed into the stumps with Gill well short of his crease. The replays left the third umpire confused as it was not certain whether the stumps were disturbed by the ball or the wicket-keeper's gloves. But, the third umpire was ultimately convinced and ruled in SRH's favour.
The abysmal IPL 2025 campaign of Chennai Super Kings faced yet another setback on Friday as they suffered a five-wicket loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Playing at their own fortress - Chepauk, the MS Dhoni-led side completely succumbed against SRH's bowling attack and got bundled out for 154. Later in the chase, SRH did face some hiccups but went across the line with eight balls to spare. Pacer Harshal Patel was the star performer for Hyderabad with his four-wicket haul as he also gave SRH co-owner Kavya Maran a brilliant moment to celebrate.
Sunrisers Hyderabad owner Kavya Maran truly wears emotions on her sleeve. Often present in the stands to cheer her team, Maran hasn't had a lot to celebrate in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, with the franchise only recording 2 wins in 7 matches so far. In the match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Friday, Maran looked in an angry avatar as SRH star Harshal Patel dropped an easy catch of Ravindra Jadeja. Maran, sitting in the stands, seemingly yelled at Harshal for costing the team a big wicket.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) edged out Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by five wickets in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Friday, keeping their slim playoff hopes alive. Harshal Patel bagged a four-fer as SRH bowled CSK out for 154, before Ishan Kishan, Kamindu Mendis and Nitish Kumar Reddy played handy cameos to see their side through with eight balls to spare. With his defeat, CSK almost bowed out of the play-offs race even as SRH stayed alive theoretically. CSK remained bottom of the points table while SRH jumped a place to rise to the eighth spot. This was SRH's first win at the Chepauk against CSK.
Sri Lanka and Chennai Super Kings' batting all-rounder Kamindu Mendis pulled off a sensational catch during the side's IPL 2025 match vs Sunrisers Hyderabad at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Friday. CSK batter Dewald Brevis smashed a powerful flat shot down the ground at long-off where Mendis was stationed. It was a half-volley from SRH pacer Harshal Patel and Brevis had slammed it really hard. The ball was curving away from Mendis but the ambidextrous jumped to his left to take a superb catch. "Catch of IPL," said former India captain Ravi Shastri on-air. Meanwhile, his fellow commentator Ian Bishop, a former West Indies player said, "Which is his weak side we never know." Even SRH CEO and co-owner Kavya Maran was also left impressed with the catch.
After attracting a Rs 23.75 crore bid from Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL mega auction, Venkatesh Iyer made a small right step while producing an all-round effort to propel Madhya Pradesh to a 101-run win over Meghalaya in a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Group A match on Monday. Venkatesh got the third highest bid in the auction being held at Jeddah after Rishabh Pant (Rs 27 crore) and Shreyas Iyer (Rs 26.75 crore). Venkatesh first made a 17-ball 37 (4x6) which along with Rajat Patidar's 78 (36b, 6x4, 6x6) guided MP to 222 for five in 20 overs.
In a thrilling week for domestic cricket, Madhya Pradesh's Rajat Patidar stunned fans with a lightning-fast century, the fifth quickest in Ranji Trophy history. Delhi and Baroda registered massive victories while defending champion Mumbai were held to draw by Tripura. Madhya Pradesh batter Rajat Patidar reignited his domestic cricket season in stunning fashion, blasting the fifth-fastest century in Ranji Trophy history in just 68 balls during the draw against Haryana. Harshal Patal was adjudged the Man of the Match after scoring 81 runs in the first innings and taking two wickets in each innings as the teams settled for a hard-earned draw.
