Mitchell Starc's mastery of death overs will be up against Mohammed Siraj's artistry when the high-flying Delhi Capitals take on an equally well-placed Gujarat Titans in a high-voltage top-of-the-table IPL clash in Ahmedabad on Saturday.

Mumbai Indians' ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah impressed with the ball during his team's IPL 2025 match vs Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Thursday.

The off-stump was sent cartwheeling.

IPL Team Accused Of Under-Utilising India's MCG Hero vs Australia: "Forgotten That..."

South Africa legend and former Sunrisers Hyderabad player Dale Steyn has lashed out at the Indian Premier League side for under-utilising all-rounder Nitish Reddy. The India player, who starred for India against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground earlier this year, is a decent right-arm medium fast bowler. But, he is yet to bowl a single delivery this IPL season. Reddy -- a batting all-rounder -- holds an experience of playing 22 IPL matches. He has scalped three wickets in those matches. Steyn, who also served as SRH bowling coach in the past, slammed the side for not using Reddy as a bowler. His X post came during SRH's IPL 2025 match against Mumbai Indians on Thursday.
