If you’re looking for the freshest India cricket buzz, you’re in the right place. From IPL playoffs to international tours, we break down the biggest stories so you can stay ahead without scrolling through endless feeds.
Last weekend’s IPL clash at Eden Gardens saw KKR chase a modest 112 against PBKS. The pitch offered good bounce early on, then slowed a bit under the lights, allowing spinners like Narine to grab a couple of wickets. KKR’s top order stumbled, but a late surge from their middle order pushed them over the line. Meanwhile, the Gujarat Titans made headlines by signing Sri Lankan all‑rounder Kusal Mendis as a Jos Buttler replacement for the playoffs – a first in IPL history.
On the international front, Pakistan’s Mohammad Hasnain made a dramatic impact in Perth, breaking Australian cricketer Cooper Connolly’s hand with a sharp bouncer. The injury forced Connolly out of the remaining T20I matches, highlighting how quickly fortunes can turn in high‑stakes games.
Fans should mark their calendars for the next IPL showdown – the Gujarat Titans face a tough opponent in the final, and all eyes will be on Mendis to see if he can deliver under pressure. The tournament’s final is expected to be a high‑scoring affair, with the Deccan plateau offering a batting‑friendly surface.
Beyond the IPL, India’s senior team is gearing up for a home series against Sri Lanka in early 2025. Sri Lanka’s squad, led by Charith Asalanka and featuring a revived Wanindu Hasaranga, will be looking to cause an upset. India’s bowlers will need to adapt to the slow, turning tracks typical of sub‑continental conditions.
Meanwhile, the Indian women's cricket side has a busy schedule with a tri‑series involving England and Australia later this year. The team’s recent performances have shown depth in batting, especially from emerging talents who are now breaking into the senior squad.
