Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants IPL 2025, Live Updates: Kolkata Knight Riders will be taking on Lucknow Super Giants in their IPL 2025 match on Tuesday at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. KKR will be coming to this clash after registering a big 80-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous match.
Zaheer Khan, former Indian left-arm fast bowler and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) mentor for the Indian Premier League, has said that it will be an honour if he gets an opportunity to coach Team India. "It would be an honour to coach Team India," Zaheer Khan told Boria Majumdar in Kolkata at a CII event, according to a video posted by RevSportz on their X handle. The left-arm fast bowler went on to participate in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for two additional years before retiring in 2017. Following his retirement, Zaheer Khan worked as a bowling coach with Mumbai Indians in international cricket prior to accepting a position as a mentor at LSG in 2024.
The flamboyant Rishabh Pant on Monday acknowledged the influence and guidance of Ashish Nehra after he survived his horrific car accident, saying the former India seamer's advice to "stay happy" stood the keeper-batter in good stead during a difficult phase. Pant met with the accident on the Delhi-Dehradun highway on the night of December 30, 2022. His car caught fire but he made a lucky escape even though his injuries were quite severe and needed multiple surgeries. "I think one advice which really helped me was from Ashish Nehra," Pant recalled in a freewheeling chat during CII Eastern Region's interactive session - 'India@100: Leadership Insight from the Sports Economy'.
As the debate on his decision to get Tilak Varma injured-out in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Lucknow Super Giants, Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene has once again defended his decision. With the Mumbai Indians needing quick runs in their chase of 204 at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, the team management asked Varma, who was struggling to put away the ball and had managed to score only 25 from 23 balls, to come back to the dugout and send Mitchell Santner instead to blast a few big ones. Mumbai lost the match by 12 runs, and the move by the team management kicked up a storm on social media, with many former India players criticising it and terming it a blunder by MI, which will impact the morale of the players.
Lucknow Super Giants are ready square off against Kolkata Knight Riders for their next IPL 2025 match on Tuesday at the iconic Eden Gardens. The match was supposed to take place on Sunday but got postponed due to the Ram Navami celebrations in the city. So far, both the teams are having a mediocre campaign as they played four games and won two of them. Talking about LSG, their promising young spinner Digvesh Singh Rathi has been grabbing everyone's attention.
Rohit Sharma is one character on the cricket field who cannot be ignored, even when he is not playing. He missed Mumbai Indians' IPL 2025 match against LSG on Friday due to injury, but even then he was always involved in the match. Despite not being part of the match, he made sure he helped his team with his tactical inputs. A glimpse of it was seen when Rohit was assisting Hardik Pandya and co. during a strategic time-out in the first innings of the match. LSG were flying high at 69 for 0 after six overs when the break came. 16 balls later, Hardik bowled a well-disguised slower delivery to dismiss Nicholas Pooran, who had scored 75, 70 and 44 in the past three games for LSG.
During domestic cricket season, Vijay Dahiya lives out of suitcase hopping from one Indian city to another fulfilling his broadcast commitments. But if he happens to be in Delhi during summer months, the former India keeper-batter would be watching Hot Weather club cricket at some ground and that's how he first discovered a gangly leg-break bowler -- Digvesh Singh Rathi with a high-arm action. It is learnt that once Dahiya saw Rathi bowling at the Jamia Milia Islamia University ground (where Delhi had played a number of Ranji Trophy games), he spoke to Ayush Badoni, who was also playing that particular club game.
Rookie leg-spinner Digvesh Rathi's ability to consistently hit an immaculate length with subtle variations, such as the off-break and carrom ball, makes him a dangerous bowler, feels former Australian white-ball great Shane Watson. The 25-year-old Delhi spinner Rathi, the break-out star of this IPL season for Lucknow Super Giants, has already taken six wickets at an economy rate of 7.62 with his skipper Rishabh Pant completing his quota in all four games.
