April 2, 2011 saw one of the greatest chapters of Indian cricket being written as the nation lifted the ODI World Cup for the second time, 28 years after the first, at the Wankhede Stadium. 14 years later, on the anniversary of the famous win, the players of that 2011 WC winning squad still look back on that night in Mumbai fondly and took to social media to celebrate the occasion.
As the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises get a hang of what the 2025 season might have in store for them, the first few games have painted an intriguing picture. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) hold the No. 1 spot on the points table, having won both of their games so far, while Delhi Capitals also have a 100 percent record from the first couple of games. In a video that has set social media ablaze, former India opening batter Virender Sehwag could be seen openly mocking RCB, calling them 'gareeb (poor)'.
MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja were on the pitch as Chennai Super Kings required 20 runs from the final over to beat Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match on Sunday. Dhoni swung his bat, looking for a maximum, but found the safe hands of Shimron Hetmyer as he departed for an 11-ball 16. His partner Jadeja couldn't do much either as CSK lost their second successive match, going down by 6 runs in the chase of 183. Though the margin of victory was narrow, it's also a fact that the Super Kings have never managed to chase down a target of over 180 runs over the last five years.
Rohit Sharma, one of the most successful cricketers in Indian Premier League history, just doesn't seem to be able to find a way past the long and dark tunnel of poor form he is stuck in. After a poor campaign for the Mumbai Indians last year, Rohit has continued his barren run with the bat in the first two games for MI this campaign, aggregating just 8 runs in two matches. In the match against the Gujarat Titans on Saturday, Rohit was undone by Mohammed Siraj for a single-digit score, making fans and experts put big question marks on his form and ability.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru created history on Friday as they defeated their Southern rivals Chennai Super Kings by 50 runs in the IPL 2025 match. The victory was a historic one because it was RCB's first win over CSK at the iconic Chepauk ground after a hiatus of 17 years. Asked to bat first, RCB posted a whopping total of 196/7 in 20 overs with skipper Rajat Patidar scoring 51 off 32 balls. Later, the visitors restricted CSK to 146/8 and won the game by 50 runs. Despite being on the losing end, CSK fans were thrilled to see the legendary MS Dhoni at his absolute best.
In the aftermath of Chennai Super Kings (CSK)'s 50-run loss to rivals Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), former captain MS Dhoni's batting order has sparked a big debate. Dhoni, who came out to bat at no. 9, hit an unbeaten 30 off just 16, but his knock had no relevance as RCB cruised to a crushing win. While Dhoni has limited his batting time over the past few seasons, in terms of the amount of deliveries he faces, fans and experts were not happy with the 43-year-old batting behind the likes of Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran and Ravichandran Ashwin.
For Shubman Gill, the start to the IPL 2025 has not been good. The former IPL champions went down by 11 runs in its first match against Punjab Kings on Tuesday despite chase a huge target of 244. Indian cricket team great Virender Sehwag was unhappy with the way Shubman Gill led the side in the first match against Punjab Kings. His main concern was the way he made his bowling changes, particularly Mohammed Siraj. He was taken off the attack despite conceding only 14 in the first two overs.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Rishabh Pant has come under the scanner after his side's one-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2025 on Monday. After posting a huge target of 210 runs, LSG did well to reduce DC to 65/5 at one stage. However, a coming of the ages knock by Ashutosh Sharma led DC to a thrilling win over LSG. Pant missed a stumping chance to dismiss tail-ender Mohit Sharma in the final over with DC needing six from as many balls.
