IPL 2025 Suspended: The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season has been suspended amid rising military tension between India and Paksitan. This comes after Thursday's match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamshala was abandoned midway, following air attacks from Pakistan on some Indian cities.
It was Chennai Super Kings' chase of 180 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders in their IPL 2025 game at Eden Gardens on Wednesday. All the eyes at the stadium were eagerly waiting to see the batting of Ayush Mhatre, who was coming to the game on the back of a sensational 94 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. As fate would have it, Mhatre was dismissed for a two-ball duck by Vaibhav Arora. Then came Urvil Patel, a 28-year-old right-handed batter from Gujarat. He played a dot ball before slamming a stylish six over the deep mid-wicket to Arora through a flick shot.
Virat Kohli is among the best batters the world of cricket has ever seen. The player made his India debut in 2008 and never looked back since then. With hard work and consistent performance, Kohli turned out to be a nightmare even for the greatest bowlers who played against him. While his sensational run in international cricket continued, Kohli also kept shinging in the Indian Premier League. No doubt, Kohli's value has increased in multiple folds in the last 17 years due to his terrific performances in international cricket and IPL. However, the player tries to maintain that his stature doesn't impact his bond with his old friends.
Kolkata Knight Riders spinner Varun Chakaravarthy has been fined 25 per cent of his match fees and handed one demerit point for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during the match against Chennai Super Kings. CSK, who are out of the playoffs race, defeated the home team by two wickets at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday to also effectively end Ajinkya Rahane's side's hopes of making the top four.
Kolkata Knight Riders, the defending champions, were dealt a major blow in the IPL 2025 as Chennai Super Kings beat them by two wickets. The loss, KKR's sixth in 12 matches, has left them at the sixth spot with 11 points. It means that KKR will have to depend on a miracle in order to qualify for the IPL 2025 playoffs. Firstly, KKR have two matches left (vs SunRisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru) and they must win both to reach 15 points.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Wednesday picked Mayank Agarwal as a replacement for injured Devdutt Padikkal, while Delhi Capitals signed Afghanistan's Sediqullah Atal in place of Englishman Harry Brook for the remainder of the Indian Premier League. Padikkal, who played 10 matches for RCB this season and scored 247 runs with the help of two half-centuries, sustained an injury to his right hamstring. Agarwal has played 127 IPL matches so far, scoring 2661 runs. He has one IPL hundred and 13 fifties against his name. He joins RCB for Rs 1 Crore.
India cricketer Virat Kohli recently found himself in the middle of a controversy when when fans spotted him liking one of actor Avneet Kaur's posts. However, Kohli - who is married to Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma - quickly issued a clarification, stating that the 'like' had happen through Instagram's algorithm. Now, Delhi Police has issued a witty statement from their official Instagram handle, mimicking Kohli's post to send their message across. Delhi Police recently posted a statement on Instagram, warning traffic rules violators and road-speeders. However, their message had a rather similar style to Kohli's clarification post and social media users are convinced that they have some connection.
After Mumbai Indians' three-wicket loss to Gujarat Titans via the DLS method dropped them to fourth in the standings, former India coach Anil Kumble said MI's playoff chances could get tricky, highlighting that they must win their remaining two matches to secure a knockout spot without depending on other results. MI, who had a dismal start to their campaign with just one win in the first five games, quickly revived their campaign in style with a six-match unbeaten streak and briefly topped the points table. But their winning march was halted by GT at home on Tuesday, and the defeat has huge implications for their hopes of a top-two finish.
