IPL 2025 Highlights
The IPL is in full swing and the drama is non‑stop. This week KKR faced PBKS at Eden Gardens, and the pitch promised true bounce with a hint of late‑night dew. KKR’s chase faltered after a quick wicket, while PBKS defended a modest total thanks to Chahal’s spin and Narine’s variations. If you missed the match, the key takeaway is that spin will be a bigger factor on evening games – teams that can roll their spinners early get a big edge.
Playoff fever is heating up too. Gujarat Titans made a headline move by signing Sri Lankan keeper‑batter Kusal Mendis as a Jos Buttler replacement. It’s the first time a player has been added mid‑playoffs, and it could change the Titans’ batting order dramatically. Keep an eye on where Mendis slots in – his aggressive style might push the Titans into a higher total, especially on flat tracks.
For fans hoping to catch the action, ticket sales are still open for a few venues, and most streaming platforms offer live commentary in multiple languages. If you’re a fantasy player, focus on bowlers who can generate bounce on the sub‑continent pitches – they’re racking up the most points this season.
International Cricket Updates
Beyond the IPL, international cricket is buzzing. Sri Lanka just announced a 17‑man ODI squad for their New Zealand tour, with Charith Asalanka taking the captain’s armband and Wanindu Hasaranga back in the lineup. The team will be looking to fine‑tune their middle order after a mixed performance in the last series, so expect a few new faces to get a chance in the opening games.
In the Australia‑Pakistan series, Australia’s young spinner Cooper Connolly made headlines by claiming a five‑wicket haul in Mackay, becoming the youngest Aussie to do so in an ODI. His 5/22 helped Australia post a massive 431/2, and it’s a clear sign that Australia is banking on fresh spin talent for the longer formats.
On the women’s side, Venus Williams earned a wild card for the Cincinnati Open at 45, proving that age is just a number in tennis – and a reminder that cricket’s senior players, like Sanju Samson and Rohit Sharma, can still dominate when they manage their workload.
Weather can still change match plans across the sub‑continent. The IMD has issued red alerts for heavy rainfall from Punjab to Delhi‑NCR, and cloudbursts in Uttarakhand could affect upcoming fixtures in northern venues. Teams are already adjusting practice schedules, so stay tuned for any match‑day updates.
