Delhi Capitals have taken a keen interest in how Lucknow Super Giants dismantled Sunrisers Hyderabad's formidable batting line-up in their previous encounter, having devised "special plans" to curb the high-flying SRH batting unit, spin bowling all-rounder Vipraj Nigam said. SRH made a statement in their opening match, posting a massive 286/6 against Rajasthan Royals -- the second-highest total in IPL history after their own record of 287/3. However, in their last match Lucknow Super Giants executed their plans to perfection, restricting them to below 200 before chasing down the target with ease, winning with 23 balls to spare. Now, Delhi Capitals, fresh off a morale-boosting one-wicket win over LSG, are gearing up to take on SRH. Nigam, who contributed significantly with both bat and ball in the previous match, sounded optimistic about their preparations. "Yes, the SRH team is very good, they have a good batting line-up. But in our team meetings, sessions, and practices, whatever

With Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) off to one of their best starts in the IPL, retired South African great AB de Villiers feels that the balance of the team looks "10 times better" than the previous editions and the head-start it has got will make the job easier going forward. Led by Rajat Patidar, RCB crushed five-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings by 50 runs at Chepauk on Friday to win their second straight away game. It was also RCB's first win against CSK in Chennai since the inaugural edition in 2008. "The balance of the RCB squad is 10 times better compared to previous seasons," the Bengaluru franchise loyalist said on his podcast 'AB de Villiers 360'. "At the (IPL) auction (last year), I spoke about RCB needing balance. It's not about the bowlers, batters or fielders... it's about having a sound balance in IPL teams and options," said the South African great, who played almost all his IPL for RCB. With India swing bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar drafted into the side for th
Indian Test legend Cheteshwar Pujara believes that Chennai Super Kings is "one franchise" that has always prepared tracks at the Chepauk as per its strengths and hence finds it difficult to digest head coach Stephen Fleming's comment of "not having any home advantage". CSK suffered their heaviest home defeat while chasing, losing by 50 runs to Rajat Patidar-led Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Pujara, who was with the franchise for a season in 2021, also indicated that CSK middle-order comprising Deepak Hooda, Shivam Dube, Sam Curran and Mahendra Singh Dhoni might have to shoulder more responsibility. "... at CSK, you can't complain. It's one franchise where they've been preparing pitches according to their strengths. If he's (Fleming) saying that [there is no home advantage, they don't have a say, then I'm quite surprised," Pujara told ESPNCricinfo. Pujara said that the legacy franchises like Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders always get what they want in te

Baffled by some of the tactics of Chennai Super Kings in their clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson said he does not understand why MS Dhoni continues to bat lower down the order. CSK suffered a heavy 50-run defeat while chasing a stiff 197-run target and Watson also felt that skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad should have opened the innings. Dhoni came to bat at number nine as Ravichandran Ashwin was sent ahead of him. He smashed the RCB bowlers all around the park for an unbeaten 30 off 16 balls but the effort went in vain as it came too late. The match was as good as over before Dhoni came to the crease. "This is exactly what CSK fans come to see -- 30 off 16 deliveries from Dhoni. I would have absolutely loved to see him come up the order. In my opinion, he should have batted ahead of Ashwin," Watson, who is a JioStar expert, said. "Given the game situation, Dhoni could have played like this for another 15 balls. Over the last couple of year
Watson stressed that CSK's batting order appeared unbalanced, with players like Deepak Hooda and Sam Curran failing to make a significant impact in positions that didn't suit them.
The latest controversy of IPL 2025 involved a violent altercation among fans during the Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) match in Guwahati
For a team to reach 300 runs in a T20 match, they need to maintain a run rate of 15, which the aggressive batting approach of both DC and SRH makes achievable under the right conditions
The video circulating on social media shows a scuffle in the stands, though it remains unclear whether it was an internal dispute or a clash between RR and KKR fans
The 2016 IPL season saw Virat Kohli elevate his batting to a level never seen before. He amassed 973 runs in 16 matches, the highest in a single season by any batter to date
Former India batter Ambati Rayudu says the phenomenal support Mahendra Singh Dhoni enjoys from the CSK fans has gradually morphed into an unhealthy obsession which is daunting for other batters to handle as the crowd is always anticipating their early dismissal so that they can see their 'Thala' bat. Rayudu said the fans' support is first for Dhoni and then for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and probably in future it may hurt the team's branding which has always revolved around one man. "It is quite daunting if you're a newcomer. It's quite loud. The support is phenomenal. But, as you go on and play, then you realise they are MS Dhoni fans before they are CSK fans," Rayudu told ESPNcricinfo. "It is quite evident, and rightly so, because that's the way the team has been set up and built over the years. He's rightly named Thala (leader) and he has been calling the shots in CSK, and it's come to a stage where people are madly in awe and in love of what he's done for CSK." The 43-year-old .
