Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Rinku Singh made a desperate attempt to get his hands on one of Rohit Sharma's bats. However, Rinku found no look as fellow KKR teammate Angkrish Raghuvanshi was the lucky recepient this time.

The pitch at the Eden Gardens has been in focus at the IPL 2025 like no other strip. After Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane said that he would want the pitch to aid his slow blowers, Eden Gardens pitch curator Sujan Mukherjee quite sternly said that his duty was to make a neutral pitch. So, it was no wonder that at the toss, the first question Rahane encountered was about the pitch. "Looks good, I'm really happy with the pitch, we were also bowling first. It will suit our spinners, at home, you should get what you want, but we'll need to assess the situation quickly with the bat," Rahane said after KKR were sent to bat.

Iyer smashed 52 not out, his second unbeaten half-century in as many games, as PBKS overhauled the 172-run target in 16.2 overs for the loss of two wickets.

LONDON: Arne Slot says Liverpool are unconcerned by how soon they can win the Premier League title after going 12 points clear again with victory in Wednesday’s Merseyside derby. A day after second-placed Arsenal cut the gap to nine points by beating Fulham 2-1 at home, Liverpool responded by defeating Everton 1-0 at Anfield.
