NEW DELHI: Delhi Capitals edged out Rajasthan Royals in IPL’s first Super Over of the season after pace bowler Mitchell Starc defended nine off the last over to end the match tied on Wednesday. Left-arm quick Starc kept Rajasthan down to 188-4 in response to Delhi’s 188-5 and then returned to bowl another disciplined over at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground. Rajasthan managed just 11 runs from their Super Over after Shimron Hetmyer and Riyan Parag hit a boundary each but both got run out on ball four and five and the innings ended with those two wickets. Needing 12 to win, KL Rahul started with a double and then hit a boundary before Tristan Stubbs finished off with a six on the fourth ball from Sandeep Sharma. Delhi, led by Axar Patel, got back to winning ways and returned to take top spot in the 10-team table with five victories and just one defeat on six matches. Rajasthan, who have been chasing the IPL title since their inaugural triumph in 2008 under late Australian hero Shane Warne, slumped to their fifth loss in seven matches. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and Nitish Rana hit 51 each to set up Rajasthan’s chase of 189, but wickets at regular intervals kept Delhi in the hunt. Australia’s Starc dismissed Rana in the 18th over before Dhruv Jurel hit back in his 26 and the left-handed Hetmyer made 15 not out. Starc’s 20th over was on target as it was just singles and twos in the six balls and with two needed to win on the last delivery Jurel was run out while attempting a second run and the teams prepared for one-over eliminator. Earlier Rajasthan raced to 50 in five overs with Jaiswal on fire and skipper Sanju Samson switched gears but retired hurt after his 19-ball 31 as he felt some pain in his ribs. Left-handed Jaiswal
England's all-time highest test wicket taker James Anderson was awarded a knighthood in former British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's resignation honours list published on Friday.
Indian batter Sanju Samson eclipsed late Australian legend Shane Warne to become the captain with the most wins for the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday. Samson accomplished this milestone during his side's win over Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Mullanpur. This was Samson's 32nd win as RR captain, outdoing Warne's 31 wins. Warne captained RR from 2008-11, winning 31, losing 24.
After a title-winning campaign with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Shreyas Iyer has hit the ground running as the captain of Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. PBKS aren't just off to a perfect start to the new season, winning two games out of two; the said results have also come in a dominant manner. Iyer himself has led the franchise from the front, emerging as their top-scoring batter so far. With the victory against Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday, Iyer secured his 8th consecutive win as a captain in IPL, going past the legendary MS Dhoni.
Shane Warne, arguably the finest spinner to ever play the game, breathed his last at the age of 52 after reportedly suffering a heart attack in April 2022. Warne was in Thailand when the news of his death emerged. While heart attack was cited as reason behind his demise, fresh details has emerged from the case, making some ground-breaking revelations. As per a report, an Indian drug could've been behind Warne's death, an officer who was part of the case investigation has revealed.
Kuldeep Yadav's art of left-arm wrist spin is subtle. It's not endearingly garish as it was in the world of Shane Warne or Abdul Qadir. His magic is well-concealed by layers of plainness and courage. A rewind to India's Champions Trophy match against Pakistan last Sunday will validate that impression. Pakistan still had some life in their innings at 200 for five with eight overs to spare, and an in-form Salman Agha was at the crease with Khushdil Shah. Skipper Rohit Sharma pressed Kuldeep into service. Immediately, Agha saw a scoring opportunity but his shimmy at Kuldeep's stock delivery ended in the hands of Ravindra Jadeja.
Australian cricket legend Adam Gilchrist has weighed in on the greatest all-rounder debate, challenging Ricky Ponting's assertion that Jacques Kallis is the best cricketer of all time. While Ponting recently hailed Kallis for his staggering numbers with both bat and ball, Gilchrist believes statistics alone don't define greatness and instead placed the late Shane Warne at the top of cricket's all-time elite. “I understand where Ricky is coming from—statistically, the runs, wickets, and catches—but there is more to it than just numbers,” Gilchrist said in an interview with news.com.au. “I personally think Shane Warne is the greatest to have played.”
