[ad_1] Indore wakes up before dawn to retain the brag painted on every wall of the city—The Cleanest City in India. Giant hoses, connected to trucks, splash water on pavements as an army of sweepers, like an orchestra, vigorously sweeps the streets. It’s a smooth operation done with silent efficiency. It’s on these sparkling streets that cricket unleashes chaos every morning.

[ad_1] One is a team whose fans wear heartbreaks as medals around their necks, whose sense of hero worship is comparable only to that of Chennai Super Kings and MS Dhoni. Repeated disappointments – including three lost IPL finals –seem to have only hardened their identity as they almost use it as their USP. The other is the perennial backbencher of the IPL class, on whom even the teacher would have given up. Having gone more than a decade since their last entry into the business end of the tournament, the team would be a prime candidate for relegation if that had been a stipulation.

R Ashwin slams Rishabh Pant for withdrawing Digvesh Rathi’s ‘Mankad’ appeal

R Ashwin slams Rishabh Pant for withdrawing Digvesh Rathi’s ‘Mankad’ appeal

[ad_1] Ravichandran Ashwin has stated that Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant shouldn’t have withdrawn Digvesh Rathi’s run-out appeal against Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Jitesh Sharma in their last game of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season on Tuesday. The match may have been utterly inconsequential for LSG but it was not devoid of drama. Among the last acts was Rathi attempting to run out a marauding Jitesh Sharma at the non-striker’s end, popularly known as a ‘Mankad’ appeal. Replays showed LSG captain Rishabh Pant seemingly withdrawing the appeal just as the third umpire’s decision of ‘not out’ was shown on the jumbotron in Lucknow. “Until now, everything was right. But after that, commentators started saying that Pant has withdrawn the appeal – what an amazing act of sportsmanship. Grow out of this,” Ashwin said on his Youtube channel

He seems to be a bit disinterested; the motivation, the fire in the belly, has satiated: Former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan on Rohit Sharma | Ipl News

[ad_1] There was a brief spell during the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 season for Mumbai Indians opener Rohit Sharma in the games against Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad when he played a couple of blitzkrieg innings and helped Mumbai get over the line quite comfortably. At that point in the season, the tide promised to turn for Rohit, who had a quiet start to the IPL; however, after a bit, his form regressed again. In 13 games, he scored 329 runs at an average of 27.42 and a strike rate of 147.53 so far in the season. Former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan opined that Rohit is looking disinterested. “He seems to be a bit disinterested; the motivation, the fire in the belly, has satiated. He has won almost everything, from winning the T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy to retiring from Test cricket. Hence, to motivate yourself to play at this level of cricket every day is a very tough task,” Wassan said on Bails and Banter on the OTTplay app.

[ad_1] Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant ended his Indian Premier League 2025 campaign as a batter on a high after slamming a century on Tuesday against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the last league game at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. This came at the back of a terrible IPL 2025 season for Pant, who managed just 151 in 12 innings ahead of the RCB match. Throughout IPL 2025, Pant crossed the 25-run mark just twice while averaging a paltry 24.45. This also meant that LSG finished sixth in the standings with just six wins in 14 matches. Pant’s 61-ball 118 also went in vain after RCB, riding on their stand-in skipper Jitesh Sharma’s blinder, beat LSG by six wickets to book their seat in the Qualifier 1.

[ad_1] The Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL) match between host Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday took an interesting turn yet marred by a bit of controversy when LSG bowler Digvesh Rathi tried to run out RCB stand-in-skipper Jitesh Sharma — who was taking the game away from LSG with his blinder — at the non-strikers’ end in the 17th over. Rathi’s appeal, however, was deemed not out after it was sent upstairs. LSG skipper Rishabh Pant also withdrew the appeal when asked by the on-field umpires, but the effect was already ruled out due to the MCC Law 38.3.1.2, which basically won’t allow the bowler to effect the run out after completing the action.

[ad_1] With Royal Challengers Bengaluru completing the third-highest run-chase in Indian Premier League (IPL) history with their six-wicket win over Rishabh Pant led Lucknow Super Giants at Ekana in Lucknow on Tuesday, it also meant that the Bengaluru side finished second in the points table. With the win, the team qualified for the Qualifier 1 against Punjab Kings to be played on May 29 at Mullanpur. Stand-in skipper Jitesh Sharma was the hero of the day for the Bengaluru side as he played a 33-ball knock of 85 runs to guide his team home in the run chase. The 31-year-old wicket-keeper batsman has credited RCB batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik for the impactful knock. “I won’t be able to express my thoughts. I still cannot believe that I played such an innings. I was trying to stay in the moment and watch the ball as closely as possible. I wasn’t thinking of anything at that time. When Virat Kohli got out, I decided to take the game deep. Like my mentor, guru Dinesh Karthik …
