Pat Cummins and Travis Head, the Australian pair who are set to feature in next month's World Test Championship final, are expected to rejoin the Sunrisers Hyderabad squad ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 resumption on May 17, according to ESPNcricinfo. Last week, the 18th edition of the cash-rich league was suspended due to India's cross-border tensions with Pakistan. The future of the remainder of the tournament was clouded in uncertainty. On Monday, the BCCI cleared the doubts by confirming that IPL would resume on Saturday in Bengaluru.
Already eliminated Chennai Super Kings faced yet another shocking defeat in their IPL 2025 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Saturday. Playing at the M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru, CSK gave their blood and sweat in the chase of 214. The duo of Ayush Mhatre (94) and Ravindra Jadeja (77*) stitched an important 114-run partnership but RCB quickly bounced back and restricted CSK to 211/5. Despite being on the losing side, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja managed to hit the longest six of the season.
Chennai Super Kings are on the brink of elimination from the playoffs race in IPL 2025. With seven losses out of nine, the five-match time champions are facing the worst time of their life. On Friday, they suffered a shocking five-wicket defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad at their own fortress, Chepauk. Apart from being on the losing side, the match also had an intense moment after CSK skipper MS Dhoni gave a taunting response to Shaik Rashdeed as the 20-year-old's fielding error handed SRH an extra run.
Mumbai Indians are on a roll in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The five-time champions, who lost four out of their first five matches, found their mojo back at the right time and won four back-to-back games. With 10 points after nine matches, MI are all set to face Lucknow Super Giants in an important IPL 2025 fixture on Sunday at the Wankhede Stadium. In their previous encounter this season, LSG emerged victorious by 12 runs.
Former Indian cricket team batter Virender Sehwag called Ishan Kishan's decision to walk away from the crease despite being not out a 'brain-fade' and insisted that he should have waited for the on-field umpire's decision. Sunrisers Hyderabad slumped to their sixth defeat of IPL 2025 as they were beaten comprehensively by Mumbai Indians. During the third over of the SRH innings, Kishan tried to play a leg-side delivery but could not make proper contact. However, after Ryan Rickelton collected the ball behind the stumps, Kishan decided to walk off the field despite no appeal from the MI players. The replays showed that there was no edge and it was a wrong decision from Kishan to walk away.
Chennai Super Kings will eye a crucial turnaround at home when they face an equally desperate Sunrisers Hyderabad in a battle of survival in the Indian Premier League on Friday. Both sides have endured a turbulent season, notching just four points from eight games, and must now win all remaining fixtures to keep their slim qualification hopes alive. Known to make the most of home conditions, five-time champions CSK find themselves in unchartered territory as they haven't been able to read the wickets well at the Chepauk.
Former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden lauded Rohit Sharma's "well-measured" knock of 70 against Sunrisers Hyderabad and said the opener's innings had "vision, stability, and perfect timing." After restricting SRH to to 143/8, MI's chase was without any major hiccups as Rohit guided his team to victory for a second successive match with 70 (46) and MI secured victory with 4.2 overs to spare to move to the third place in the standings. With his sublime 70 off just 46 balls, Rohit became only the second Indian after Virat Kohli to Score 12,000 runs in T20s.
