JAIPUR: Australia’s Josh Inglis scored 73 to help Punjab Kings finish in the top-two moving into the IPL playoffs with a seven-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians on Monday.
Gujarat Titans were dealt a massive blow in their bid to finish in the Top 2 going into the IPL 2025 playoffs as the Shubman Gill-led side slumped to a loss against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. Following this loss, GT are currently top of the table with 18 points from 14 matches. However, with Punjab Kings, Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru having a game in hand, their fortunes in the Top 2 race are out in their hands. If RCB win their game against Lucknow Super Giants, they will surely finish in the Top 2. In the other match, if PBKS beat MI, they will finish in the top 2. However, if MI beat PBKS, they will have 18 points - same as GT - but they will finish in Top 2 thanks to a better Net Run Rate (NRR).
Afghanistan spinner Noor Ahmad and India's Anshul Khamboj took three wickets each, while Ravindra Jadeja claimed two scalps, to trigger a batting collapse as Chennai Super Kings bundled out hosts Gujarat Titans for 147 in 18.3 overs for a big win in Match 67 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 here on Sunday. It turned out to be a Super Sunday for Chennai Super Kings as the five-time champions ended their season with a massive 83-run victory over Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings will be determined to give their all in the battle of top-two finish when they face each other in their final league stage fixture of the Indian Premier League here on Monday. As the four teams -- Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, MI and PBKS -- have sealed the IPL playoff spots much earlier than ever before, the remaining league matches will determine the final standings. With 17 points, PBKS are currently placed second but a defeat to MI will push them to the third or the fourth spot, setting them up for the Eliminator on May 30.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batting coach Dinesh Karthik gave a sneak peek into stalwart Virat Kohli's life after he bid adieu to Test cricket earlier this month and said that the 36-year-old is at his "happiest now". Virat penned a heartfelt note on Instagram to announce his retirement from the format he cherished the most. Virat's announcement came days after his long-time compatriot Rohit Sharma retired from red-ball cricket. The duo's decision has left India threadbare in the experience department weeks before embarking on a gruelling Test tour of England.
Legendary Indian cricket team batter Virender Sehwag once again questioned Virat Kohli's decision to announce his retirement from Tests. Following Kohli's 25-ball-43 knock for Royal Challengers Bengaluru during the IPL 2025 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Sehwag said that the star batter could have easily played for two more years considering his level of fitness. Kohli decided to bid farewell to the format ahead of the five-match series against England but Sehwag maintained that he had two more years in him. “Definitely. I feel he retired too early from the Test format. He could've played easily for two years, the way he maintains fitness. But only Virat Kohli can tell the reasons behind the decision. It's a player's personal decision based on his will, or whether he feels exhausted,” Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Rajat Patidar and Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins have been fined for their respective teams' slow over-rate during their Indian Premier League match. While Cummins was fined Rs 12 lakh as it was his team's first offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct, Patidar was docked Rs 24 lakh as a member of the playing XI of the second-time offender RCB. "As it was his team's second offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Patidar was fined Rs 24 lakhs," said the IPL in a statement.
