The SunRisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants IPL 2025 match promises to be a high-scoring thriller. Having lost their opening clash, Rishabh Pant‘s Lucknow Super Giants will be wary of Sunrisers Hyderabad’s ultra-aggressive approach with the bat when the two teams face off in the Indian Premier League on Thursday. Last year’s runner-up SRH picked up from where they had left off in the opening clash to nearly break the record of the highest total in the IPL, handing the Rajasthan Royals a crushing defeat by 44 runs. The huge win also propelled SRH to the top of the points table for having the best net run rate and given their all-round firepower, the Pat Cummins-led side would want to maintain their dominance in the competition. SRH went hammer and tongs against RR with their new recruit Ishan Kishan smacking a century and the other big guns firing as usual to make 286/6 in their last outing here at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Uppal. Such batting approach could be terrifying …

Published by Webster

Former Australia batter David Warner has no issues with English cricket fans booing him during The Hundred this summer. In fact, he welcomes it. The 38-year-old opener will make his debut in the competition after being picked up by London Spirit in this week’s draft. Warner has often faced a hostile reception when playing in England, with tensions even boiling over in the Lord’s Long Room during the 2023 Ashes following Jonny Bairstow’s controversial stumping. “I actually want them to come at Australians. I love that stuff. That’s what gets me going,” Warner said. “If they want to boo me, boo me, but don’t boo the team or anything like that.” When asked about his return to Lord’s, Spirit’s home ground, Warner acknowledged the potential for another heated atmosphere. “We’ll have to wait until I step onto that field and see how they respond. I’ll have to walk past the Long Room first to get to the dressing room, so that will be interesting,” he said. “But this time, I’m playing for London …

Rohit Sharma’s Captaincy In Brisbane Test Blasted By Ravi Shastri: “Worst Set Ups…”

Published by Webster

India captain Rohit Sharma has come under the scanner for his captaincy on Day 2 of the ongoing 3rd Test against Australia in Brisbane on Sunday. Jasprit Bumrah and Nitish Kumar Reddy gave India a bright start, reducing Australia to 3/75 early in the morning session. However, centuries from Travis Head (152) and Steve Smith (101) saw Australia end the day at a commanding 405/7. Head was the wrecker-in-chief for Australia, scoring at almost run-a-ball during the 241-run stand with Smith.
