Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) beat Rajasthan Royals (RR) by just one run in a dramatic IPL 2025 clash at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. KKR looked in cruise control for most of the match, but a scintillating knock of 95 by RR's stand-in captain Riyan Parag gave them hope of victory, chasing 207.
Head coach Rahul Dravid hopes that the young Indian players in the Rajasthan Royals' ranks will soon get the opportunity to play "tough international cricket," which in turn will help them return stronger for the next IPL season. The Royals crashed to their fifth successive defeat when they went down against Punjab Kings by 10 runs here on Sunday. "We've seen some abilities. Even today, the batting that Jaiswal did, Vaibhav did, Dhruv Jurel did. There's a lot of Sanju, Riyan today. We have a lot of young, good Indian batsmen. They'll be even better in a year," Dravid said in the post match press conference.
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.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated Rajasthan Royals (RR) by just one run as RR stand-in captain Riyan Parag's heroic knock of 95 went in vain. KKR were cruising at one stage with RR down to 71/5. Parag kickstarted a dramatic comeback by slamming five sixes off Moeen Ali in a single over. Prior to that, however, Parag could scarcely believe what was happening as RR lost two wickets in one over, with Varun Chakravarthy picking up the wickets of Dhruv Jurel and Wanindu Hasaranga.
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.

A bizarre incident occurred recently during a County Championship game in England, in a match between Lancashire and Gloucestershire. Lancashire bowler Tom Bailey had come out to bat, but was the subject of this unique circumstance. While trying to run two, Bailey's mobile phone slipped out of his trousers' pocket. The peculiar incident raised the question as to why Bailey had even taken his phone with him while batting. The internet was left both amused and shocked by the proceedings.
