Lockie Ferguson set to miss remainder of IPL, confirms Punjab bowling coach James Hopes

Published by Webster

With their bowling unit conceding more than 200 runs in four matches out of the five matches they have played, Punjab Kings have seen the pace attack struggle in this edition of the IPL. The Shreyas Kings side, which was on top of the point table after the opening week in IPL, have slid to the sixth spot after two losses in their last three matches. With the side facing an eight-wicket wicket loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last match, Punjab Kings fast bowling coach James Hope believes that the team needs to find a way to get more spin in their bowling attack. “Of course it’s a concern, but once again, we tend not to look at, like, he’s going at 9.5, he’s going at 10, because we’re playing games where 200 is a score, or 220 is a score, or 240 is a score. If we keep playing games where 230 is a score, our guys keep going to 10 and over, well, we’re going to win most games. So that’s how …

Huge Blow For Punjab Kings: Overseas Pacer Lockie Ferguson To Miss Remainder Of IPL 2025

Huge Blow For Punjab Kings: Overseas Pacer Lockie Ferguson To Miss Remainder Of IPL 2025

Published by Webster

Punjab Kings (PBKS) fast bowler Lockie Ferguson is likely to miss rest of IPL 2025, said bowling coach James Hopes ahead of their clash against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Ferguson walked off the field due to a left leg issue after bowling just two balls in his side’s match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday, which they eventually lost by eight wickets at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. “Ferguson’s out indefinitely, and us getting him back by the end of the tournament is a very low percentage. I think he’s done a real decent injury to himself,” said Hopes in the pre-match press conference. Ferguson had previously missed the 2025 Champions Trophy for New Zealand after suffering a hamstring injury while playing in the ILT20 in the UAE. Other overseas fast-bowling options in the PBKS set-up include seamer Xavier Bartlett, and all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai. From the Indian perspective, they have Vijaykumar Vyshak, who made an impact in PBKS first game of the season and make them victorious over Gujarat Titans (GT). Against …

When Rebecca Ferguson Almost Quit Dune—Her Blunt Take on Lady Jessica Says It All!

When Rebecca Ferguson Almost Quit Dune—Her Blunt Take on Lady Jessica Says It All!

Published by Webster

Did Rebecca Ferguson almost pass on Dune? (Photo Credit – Instagram) At first, Rebecca Ferguson didn’t see the point in playing Lady Jessica. She thought the role was another dressed-up, one-dimensional woman written to exist in the shadow of a male lead. Been there, done that. “When he explained the character, I thought, really? You want me to be regal and poised and ask me to do a role that I have played so many times before? I would literally be a teapot for you, but I don’t think that’s the role for me, dude” (via Variety). That was Ferguson’s brutally honest response to director Denis Villeneuve when he pitched the role to her. Safe to say, she wasn’t sold. But Villeneuve didn’t give up. Instead, he flipped the entire conversation by showing Ferguson a version of Lady Jessica that didn’t exist in the original source material, a version that was bold, commanding, and layered with emotion and moral conflict. In Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel, Lady Jessica was already important. But in the film, she …

When Rebecca Ferguson Was Intimidated By This Dune Co-Star & It Wasn’t Timothee Chalamet Or Zendaya!

When Rebecca Ferguson Was Intimidated By This Dune Co-Star & It Wasn’t Timothee Chalamet Or Zendaya!

Published by Parlour News

Which Dune Star Left Rebecca Ferguson Intimidated? ( Photo Credit – Instagram ) Timothée Chalamet didn’t rattle Rebecca Ferguson. Zendaya didn’t shake her up either. Giant sandworms? Please. But one Dune co-star had her spiraling with nerves right before filming even started. And no, it wasn’t because of a scene partner her age. It was the legendary Charlotte Rampling. Ferguson played Lady Jessica in Dune (2021), and her first scene on day one of filming was the iconic Gom Jabbar moment. No pressure, right? Well, it just so happened that the woman across from her was Rampling, playing the powerful and commanding Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam. That combo of scene + star? Cue the anxiety. “I was very nervous,” Rebecca Ferguson told The Cut. “I was having heart palpitations knowing she was going to walk in.” To be fair, Ferguson wasn’t alone in her fear. Director Denis Villeneuve and even Chalamet were just as intimidated. The presence Rampling carried on set was no joke. “We were very afraid of Charlotte. We love her,” Villeneuve …

Only once has a total of 200 been scored in Lucknow across 14 games (by KKR in 2024). Lockie Ferguson enjoys a favourable matchup against two key LSG batters – Nicholas Pooran (17 balls, 20 runs, 4 dismissals) and Rishabh Pant (36 balls, 37 runs, 3 dismissals). Since the last season, Yuzvendra Chahal has had a poor record against left-handers as compared to right-handers, and how he bowls to Nicholas Pooran could be crucial. In the LSG vs PBKS match at Lucknow, Punjab Kings won …

The New Zealand Gary Stead has provided an update on star batter Rachin Ravindra has yet to regain full fitness after sustaining an injury during Pakistan’s Tri-Nation series. The opener suffered a blow to the forehead while attempting a catch in the 38th over and experienced headaches for several days. Rachin Ravindra was then forced to the field following the incident and subsequently missed New Zealand’s victory over South Africa, which secured their place in the final in Karachi on Friday. “The pleasing thing is that he’s progressing well. We’re following head injury assessment protocols at the moment,” said Gary Stead. “He’s had a headache for a few days, but that’s subsiding, which is really good news. He hit a few balls tonight for the first time, which is encouraging, but there are still a few more steps before he can be cleared to play,” he added.

Lockie Ferguson in Doubt for Champions Trophy And Pakistan Tri-Series

Published by Webster

New Zealand fast bowler Lockie Ferguson is in doubt for the Champions Trophy 2025 and Pakistan Tri-Nation Series after suffering a hamstring injury during the qualifier 1 of the ILT20 2025. He underwent scans to determine the extent of the injury. In the ILT20, he led Desert Vipers in their Qualifier 1 match against Dubai Capitals, but he sustained an injury and couldn’t complete his quota of four overs. The scan’s result has yet to be released, so New Zealand head coach Gary Stead remains silent instead of providing an update on Lockie’s availability for the upcoming tri-series against Pakistan and South Africa and also for the marquee ICC tournament.
