Ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, former Indian cricketer Lakshmipathy Balaji said that the league and "its franchise owners, leadership groups and ecosystem" had a key role in India's two successive white-ball title wins, the T20 World Cup 2024 and ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The 2025 season of the league will kickstart with a clash between defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).

Nitish Reddy Reveals The Virat Kohli Connection Behind His Maiden Test Ton In Melbourne

India all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy revealed that a light-hearted dressing room banter with the talismanic Virat Kohli resulted in him getting the shoes gifted by the former skipper, which he wore when he hit his first Test century against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). “Back in the locker room, he (Kohli) once asked Sarfaraz (Khan), ‘Sarfu, tera size kya hai?' (Sarfaraz, what's your shoe size?), and he said, ‘Nine.' Then he turned to me, and I thought, ‘Oh my god, I have to guess this correctly,' because even if they weren't my size, I really wanted his shoes. I said, ‘10,' and he gave them to me. In the next match, I wore those shoes and scored a hundred!" said Reddy in a podcast on PUMA's Youtube channel on Thursday.

Mohammed Siraj Backs Lifting Of Saliva Ban From IPL: 'It Will Help Reverse Swing'

India pacer Mohammed Siraj on Thursday wholeheartedly welcomed the BCCI's decision to lift the saliva ban ahead of IPL 2025, saying it will help the bowlers find "reverse swing" even in benign conditions. The BCCI removed the ban on use of saliva on the cricket ball after a majority of the team captains agreed to its proposal, making it the first major competition to do away with the restriction that was a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. "It's very good for bowlers. It's excellent news for us bowlers because when the ball is not doing anything, applying saliva on the ball will increase the chances of finding some reverse swing," Siraj, who has joined Gujarat Titans this season, told PTI.

'IPL Teams Don't Tolerate...": Adam Gilchrist's Big Warning For Out-Of-Form Cricketer

Former Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist warned that Jake Fraser-McGurk could find himself warming the bench in the Delhi Capitals if he doesn't produce results early in the tournament, highlighting how unforgiving IPL franchises can be during form slumps. Fraser-McGurk was picked up by the Capitals as an injury replacement last year, and he went on to score 330 runs in nine innings with four fifties during his maiden IPL. He finished with a strike rate of 234.04, the second-highest figure of the tournament. The franchise did not retain him; instead, it purchased him at the IPL auction via the 'Right to Match' card for Rs 9 crores. But the youngster's T20I performances have dipped over the past 12 months; across his 24 most recent matches, he has managed 382 runs at 15.91 with a strike rate of 136.91.
