IPL 2025: Dwayne Bravo promises to instill 'champion mentality' in KKR

Dwayne Bravo, one of T20 cricket's most decorated players, on Wednesday promised to instill his "champion mentality" in Kolkata Knight Riders as their new mentor for the upcoming Indian Premier League season. Replacing Gautam Gambhir, who guided the franchise to their third title last year, Bravo is determined to build on KKR's recent success and ensure they remain a force to be reckoned with. One of the format's most accomplished all-rounders, Bravo is no stranger to success. With 631 wickets and record 17 T20 franchise titles to his name, he understands what it takes to win. "I'd like to bring in the champion mentality. I believe in winning," said the former West Indies T20 World Cup winner during the 'Knights Unplugged 2.0' event. "My records speak for themselves, but at the end of the day, it's about the next generation of cricketers and helping them become champions in their own way." "KKR is a team hugely respected worldwide. When I was playing, a couple of guys used to be

BCCI contemplates lifting saliva ban in IPL, ball in captains' court

In a move that could have global impact, the BCCI is considering lifting the ban on applying saliva on the ball in the Indian Premier League beginning March 22. The proposal has been discussed at length internally within the BCCI and will be floated to captains of all IPL teams in a meeting in Mumbai on Thursday. The International Cricket Council (ICC) had banned the age-old practice of applying saliva to shine the ball as a precautionary measure during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, the ICC made the ban permanent. The IPL too included the ICC ban in its playing conditions in the aftermath of the pandemic but its guidelines are outside the purview of the sport's governing body. "Using saliva on the ball was part of the essence of the game until COVID hit. Now that we don't have that threat anymore, we feel there is no harm in lifting the ban on saliva in the IPL. "We understand that it makes a bigger impact in red ball cricket but even if it can help bowlers a bit in the white ba

IPL 2025: Not having Jasprit Bumrah is a challenge - MI coach Jayawardene

Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene did not give a time frame for Jasprit Bumrah's return to competitive cricket, and said the pace spearhead's absence will be a massive challenge for his side in the IPL 2025. Bumrah will miss a few initial games of the tournament as he is currently recuperating from a back injury at the BCCI Centre of Excellence at Bengaluru. Jasprit Bumrah is at the NCA. We have to wait and see their feedback on him. At the moment it is going well, the progress is on a day to day basis, said Jayawardene during MI's pre-season press meet here on Wednesday. He is in good spirits, and not having him is a challenge. He is the best bowler in the world, he added.. Bumrah has been sidelined since the final Test against Australia at Sydney in early January, when he could not bowl in the second innings as the hosts chased down 162 to seal a 3-1 series victory. Bumrah's return is shrouded in uncertainty but MI skipper Hardik Pandya said having an experienced ...

IPL: We've proven that we bowl well in tandem - Narine on partnering Varun

Fresh from his exploits in India's triumphant Champions Trophy campaign, Varun Chakravarthy will be a key component of Kolkata Knight Riders' spin attack with his element of "uncertainty" in the upcoming IPL, veteran Sunil Narine said on Wednesday. The West Indian spin-bowling all-rounder, heading into his 14th IPL season with KKR, believes Chakravarthy's ability to keep batsmen guessing would be key to their bowling unit's success. "Over the years, we have proven it. We bowl well in tandem. It's always good to have him on my side. He keeps that pressure, that uncertainty -- something you're never sure about," Narine said in a select media interaction while launching 'PariMatch' here. Chakravarthy, who picked up nine wickets in three matches in the Champions Trophy, has been a mainstay in KKR's lineup since 2020. After an impressive first season with 17 wickets, he earned his maiden India call-up, though fitness issues delayed his international debut until 2021. Retained by KKR in

IPL 2025: Nitish Kumar Reddy set to join SRH after clearing fitness test

All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy is all set to join Sunrisers Hyderabad after recuperating from a side strain that kept him on the sidelines since January. PTI has learned that Nitish successfully completed all the fitness test routines, including the yo-yo test, at the BCCI Centre of Excellence here, and the physios have given him a go-ahead. The 21-year-old Andhra cricketer's last appearance for India was during the first T20I against England at the Eden Gardens on January 22, but he did not bat or bowl in that match. Nitish trained at nets ahead of the second T20I at Chennai, but was ruled out of that match and five-match series with a side strain. Nitish was retained by the Hyderabad outfit for Rs 6 crore ahead of last year's players' auction after he made 303 runs for them from 13 matches at a strike-rate of 143. He also impressed during India's tour to Australia, making some valuable contributions including a gutsy 114 in the fourth Test at Melbourne. Nitish will join the SRH

Bumrah set to miss early IPL 2025 games, Samson nears full recovery

Jasprit Bumrah is likely to miss the initial rounds of the IPL 2025 matches for Mumbai Indians as the star pacer is still recovering from the lower back injury that rendered him out of action since January. Bumrah suffered the injury during the second day of the fifth Test against Australia at Sydney and did not bowl in Australia's second innings where they chased 162 successfully to emerge a six-wicket winner. Bumrah, who had taken 32 wickets from five matches in that series, has been sidelined ever since, and has also missed India's victorious Champions Trophy campaign. He was named in India's provisional squad for the ICC showpiece, but could not attain the optimum fitness level in time, as mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy was drafted into the side. "His recuperation is going well. But at this stage it is better to give him some more time to return to peak fitness, considering India's Test series against England in June," a source close to the development told PTI. The IPL 20

Still not over it: Samson on releasing Jos Buttler before IPL 2025 auction

Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson is still not over Jos Buttler no longer being part of the team, and if he had his way, he would do away with the rule of releasing players in the IPL. Samson and Buttler opened batting for Royals for seven years but they did not retain the Englishman ahead of the mega auction last year. Buttler will play for Gujarat Titans in the upcoming IPL. "The IPL gives you the opportunity to lead a team and play at the highest level, and it also allows you to build close friendships," Samson told Jiostar. "Jos Buttler is one of my closest friends. We played together for seven years. During this time, our batting partnership time itself is so long that we got to know each other so well. "He has been like an elder brother to me. Whenever I had a doubt, I would talk to him. When I became captain [in 2021], he was my vice-captain and helped me become a good captain." Samson said letting go of Buttler was one of the hardest decision he has had to make. Royal
