Vaibhav Suryavanshi's Coach Makes Bold Team India Prediction For 14-Year-Old Star

Vaibhav Suryavanshi's coach, Manish Ojha, firmly believes that the young sensation will be a part of India's T20 setup, and following his relentless onslaught in Jaipur against the Gujarat Titans, the 14-year-old took the first step towards that goal.

IPL 2025: Struggling CSK Host Formidable Punjab Kings In Must-Win Clash At Chepauk

As the league phase of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 heads towards a tense climax, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be desperate to breathe life into a faltering campaign when they take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday. For CSK, this is more than just a contest—it's a do-or-die battle to keep their slim playoff hopes flickering. PBKS, meanwhile, sit fifth on the points table and will look to consolidate their position with a win against an out-of-sorts opponent. CSK, have found themselves at the bottom of the table this season, managing just two wins from nine games. It has been a campaign riddled with selection dilemmas, misfiring stars, and a lack of impact in key moments. Adding to their woes is their unexpected struggle at Chepauk—once considered a fortress, but now a venue where the Men in Yellow have failed to assert dominance.
