“Who Are These People?” KL Rahul Compared To Sachin Tendulkar, Ex-India Cricketer Left Stunned

“Who Are These People?” KL Rahul Compared To Sachin Tendulkar, Ex-India Cricketer Left Stunned

Published by Webster

Former India cricketer and renowned cricket expert Atul Wassan was recently presented with a comparison, likening India star KL Rahul to legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar. Appearing on a show, Wassan was told that many fans view Rahul’s situation at Delhi Capitals much like Tendulkar with the Indian team in the 1990s, where the dismissal of the star batter would cause people to switch off their television sets. However, Wassan laughed off the comparison, stating that Rahul can never be compared to Tendulkar. “If you talk about KL Rahul and Sachin Tendulkar in the same sentence, then I will go. TVs are getting shut down because KL Rahul is getting out? Who are these people?” said Wassan, speaking on the ‘Bails and Banter’ show on the OTTPlay platform. KL Rahul has endured a mixed season at Delhi Capitals (DC), after being bought for Rs 14 crore at the mega auction for IPL 2025. Rahul is comfortably the team’s highest run-scorer, and is one of the batters to cross 500 runs in IPL 2025. However, …

Suryakumar Yadav (right) in action during MI’s IPL 2025 match vs DC.© BCCI Mumbai Indians’ (MI) dynamic batter Suryakumar Yadav levelled the all-time joint-highest streak for successive 25-plus scores in T20s following his masterclass against Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Suryakumar lit the Wankhede with his swashbuckling 73* to turn the tide in favour of the hosts as Mumbai drubbed Delhi with a commanding 59-run triumph to blaze their way to the final spot in the playoffs at the expense of the Capitals. The 34-year-old’s match-defining effort was his 13th 25-plus consecutive score in the T20s, taking him level with South Africa Test captain Temba Bavuma’s tally for the elusive milestone and powered Mumbai to a daunting 180/5. While the 34-year-old relished success, Delhi, on the other hand, became the first team to fail to punch its ticket for the playoffs after scoring four victories on the trot at the beginning of an IPL season. Mumbai pulled the plug on DC’s winning streak, and on …

“Hardik Pandya Hasn’t Done That…”: Sunil Gavaskar Points Out Reason Behind MI’s Incredible Comeback

Published by Webster

File photo of Mumbai Indians.© BCCI Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar heaped praises of the Mumbai Indians team and its captain Hardik Pandya. Impressed by MI’s sensational comeback in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, he pointed how the Hardik-led team managed to pull it off. The season seemed nearly over for MI after they lost four of their first five matches in the tournament, but what followed what something extraordinary. MI won six consecutive matches after that to get in serious contention for the playoff race. They lost to Gujarat Titans that broke their winning streak but the side remains in the playoff race with two matches left to play. The performance this year from MI was far better than the last season when Hardik Pandya had replaced Rohit Sharma as the captain of the side. The unhappy fans even booed Hardik during the entire edition, not only in away games but also at home. On the other hand, this year has been completely different as Hardik has got the backing of the …

IPL 2025 Likely To Resume On May 16 Or 17. Final Could Be Moved Out Of Kolkata, Reason Is…

Published by Webster

Suspended due to the India-Pakistan military conflict, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is set to resume either on May 16 or 17 with the possibility of the final being moved out of Kolkata. The announcement of ceasefire on Saturday paved the way for resumption of the league that was suspended on May 9 for one week. The IPL Governing Council members and the BCCI officials discussed the resumption plan on Sunday. BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla said the board is still working on creating a suitable schedule. “As of now there is no decision on IPL. BCCI officials are working out on the solutions. BCCI secretary, IPL Chairman are in talks with franchises and everyone, so very soon we will know about the decision, efforts are being made to resume the tournament early,” said Shukla. An IPL source said the league will resume with the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Lucknow — the game which was supposed to be played on May 9. “All the teams have been asked …

“I Am Sure…”: Ex-BCCI President Sourav Ganguly Reacts To Suspension Of IPL 2025 Amid India-Pakistan Tension

Published by Webster

Sourav Ganguly, former India capain and also an ex-BCCI president, has reacted to the suspension of Indian Premier League 2025. Notably, the tournament has been halted mid-season as tension between India and Pakistan continue to escalate following Operation Sindoor. The match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was abandoned midway due to security reasons on Thursday and the following day saw the event being suspended for seven days. Ganguly showed his belief in the BCCI and said that the Board will complete the tournament. “I have seen today that the IPL is suspended for 7 days. The BCCI will complete this. BCCI is efficient. During COVID, it was another emergency. I am sure the BCCI will complete it,” Ganguly told India Today. Notably, this is not the first season of IPL that has been halted midway. In 2021 too, the tournament was postponed due to the COVID-19 threat in India. The edition resumed and was completed four months later in the United Arab Emirates. “A COVID-like situation is different. BCCI will work as …

Best Window To Complete IPL 2025 Revealed – Report Lists Major Reasons

Published by Webster

The currently suspended Indian Premier League’s 16 remaining games can be completed during a 10 to 12 days window in September as the Asia Cup is now uncertain due to the rising armed hostilities between India and Pakistan. It would be a miracle if Asia Cup, which is supposed to be hosted by India (at a supposedly neutral venue), goes ahead given the raging conflict which was triggered by the killing of 26 people in a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam. The nearly non-existent sporting ties are unlikely to resume at any level till tensions ease. The Asia Cup was given a 19-day window in September where at least two Indo-Pak matches were to take place apart from the possibility of a final clash between the bitter rivals which would have assured the broadcasters of high advertising revenue. “It is extremely bad optics if cricket continues when there is a possibility of war with a rogue nation (Pakistan). Sports can continue when everything is normal. Plus it is very natural for …
