Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders LIVE Updates, IPL 2025: MS Dhoni is set to return as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain, as they take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their IPL 2025 clash at the Chepauk Stadium on Friday. All the hype is around Dhoni, who replaces Ruturaj Gaikwad after the latter suffered a season-ending elbow injury.
Following his side's loss to Delhi Capitals (DC), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) mentor Dinesh Karthik hailed KL Rahul's knock, calling him a "high-quality middle-order batter". KL stamped his authority against his former team at his domestic home ground as his knock of 93* in 53 during a tough-looking chase of 164 runs condemned RCB to their second-successive loss at home on Thursday.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have officially announced franchise icon MS Dhoni's return as captain of the team for the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Dhoni will look to steady the ship with captain Ruturaj Gaikwad ruled out for the rest of the season, owing to an elbow injury. CSK are currently struggling with just one win in five matches and sit ninth in the IPL 2025 points table with a net run rate of -0.889.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) continued their poor home run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, registering their second successive defeat at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium following a loss to Delhi Capitals (DC) on Thursday. The Red and Gold outfit has looked like a different team this season, with their middle-order and bowling making contributions that give hope for a maiden trophy run. While they have looked unstoppable away from home, with three big wins against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and five-time champion teams Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI), they have registered two back-to-back losses after posting totals in the 160s at Bengaluru.
India and the Olympic Games haven't produced many memorable moments, especially since the turn of the 21st century. The 2024 Paris Games saw the country clinch just 6 medals -- 5 bronze and 1 silver. The nation's failure to bring home a single gold medal hurt the sentiments of many sports lovers across the country. But a lot is set to change as India begins its preparations for the 2028 Los Angeles Games. Cricket, India's beloved sport, is set to mark its return to the grandest stage of all, with the LA Games set to feature the sport in T20 format.
Desperate to arrest a worrying slide, Sunrisers Hyderabad will be eager to effect a turnaround when they host a power-packed Punjab Kings in their next IPL engagement on Saturday. Last season's finalists, SRH began their 2025 campaign on a thunderous note, racking up a mammoth 286 to dismantle Rajasthan Royals by 44 runs. With an explosive batting line-up at their disposal, the 'Orange Army' seemed poised to become the first team to breach the 300-run mark but their ultra-aggressive approach has since backfired spectacularly.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has had a poor start to Indian Premier League 2025. The southpaw has scored only 107 runs in 5 matches at an average of 21.40. Out of the five innings, Jaiswal has got out thrice for single-digit scores. Jaiswal has simply failed to find his rhythm and has looked scratchy at the crease during his knocks so far. Amid the batter's poor form, former Pakistan captain Basit Ali has sent him a stern warning. Basit believes that the likes of Sai Sudharsan and Priyansh Arya could make it tough for Jaiswal to keep his spot in the Indian team. The former Pakistan batter shared his opinion while analysing the Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals match that took place on Wednesday.
From being panned as a stat-padder, who lacked intent from the word go to being a toast of tricky chases, KL Rahul has turned the wheels in a manner only a batter blessed with skill-set as his can. He printed the latest blueprint of his growth chart with an unbeaten 93 off 53 balls at a strike-rate of 175 on a gripping Chinnaswamy pitch to fashion Delhi Capitals's six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Tim David (185) and Phil Salt (210) made runs at a higher strike-rate but through brute force and the readiness to travel on riskier routes either at Power Play or at the death overs.
