RCB, GT, MI are frontrunners; PBKS placed well to return to top four

Published by Webster

The business end promises to be a real humdinger with 7 of the 10 teams still in contention for the four playoff berths. The washout in Hyderabad on Monday eliminated Sunrisers Hyderabad, with Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals already out. Lucknow Super Giants are just hanging in mathematically, which leaves five teams heading for a photo finish with net run-rate coming into play. Remaining fixtures: LSG (A), SRH (H), KKR (H) This is a season where the new-look RCB are living up to the billing of being title contenders. With 16 points they have one foot in the playoffs, but with the possibility of 5 teams ending up with 16 or 18 points, two more wins will make their spot their own. Out of their three matches, one is away to Lucknow, losing steam at the moment. Given how RCB have cracked the winning code at home recently, they can feel optimistic. Even if they don’t manage a win from here, they can qualify with 16 points with help from elsewhere. Win all three, …

IPL 2025 Playoffs Qualification Scenarios:  Royal Challengers Bengaluru closed in on an IPL Playoffs spot on Saturday night at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium after eking out a thrilling 2-run victory over arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings. Defending a 213-run target meant RCB reached a decisive checkpoint with 16 points in 11 matches on the back of eight wins and only three losses. While Rajat Patidar’s men have taken the top spot in the points table, they are still not confirmed of a Playoffs spot, courtesy the intense battle among the top six teams this season. With Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings, Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals capable of toppling the 16-point mark, alongside Kolkata Knight Riders who pose an outside chance, the Playoffs cut-off for this season is likely to rise over the forthcoming week.

IPL 2025 Playoffs Qualification Scenarios: The race for the IPL 2025 Playoffs is heating up with only a fortnight of league-stage action. With 19 games left in the league, eight of 10 teams are still mathematically in the Playoffs qualification race, with former champions Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals being the only two teams to be eliminated. However, the competition is cut-throat in the top half of the standings, with at least three teams standing a chance to touch 20 points or more. While Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans have reached 14 points, a checkpoint that determined at least one Playoffs spot last year, the top four for this season are yet to be ascertained. With MI, GT and Royal Challengers Bengaluru holding simultaneous possibilities of reaching 20 points, the Playoffs cut-off could shore up to at least 18 points this season.

‘Our son is NOT a topic for your entertainment’

Sanjana Ganesan, cricket broadcaster and Indian ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah’s wife, lashed out at trolls for mocking the couple’s young son, Angad Bumrah, over his facial expression during the Indian Premier League 2025 match between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. She took to Instagram, slamming a select section of social media by putting out a story, which was also shared by Bumrah himself. “Our son is NOT a topic for your entertainment,” she wrote on Instagram. “Jasprit and I do everything in our power to keep Angad away from social media because the Internet is a despicable, vile place to be and I completely understand the implications of bringing a child to a cricket stadium filled with cameras, but please understand that Angad and I were there to support Jasprit and nothing else.

Rohit Sharma being made Impact Player could be a ‘hindrance’ to him regaining form, says former MI teammate

Rohit Sharma being made Impact Player could be a ‘hindrance’ to him regaining form, says former MI teammate

Published by Webster

After a dreadful run in Test whites in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to start the year and an average, at best, performance in India’s Champions Trophy-winning campaign, Rohit Sharma’s batting form has shown no signs of improvement in the Indian Premier League (IPL) so far. A high score of 26, and failure to even bat outside the powerplay in any of his six innings has caused debate about the India captain’s place in the Mumbai Indians lineup. The conjecture about his place in the Test lineup, where he is presently expected to lead India for a five-match series in England in June, has also caught pace. But his former teammate at the Mumbai franchise, former England fast bowler Tymal Mills, has backed Rohit to come back to form sooner rather than later. In his reasoning for why Rohit is not able to snap himself back into form, Mills has said that him constantly playing as the Impact Player may be detrimental to India’s Test captain.

Staying that Hardik Pandya has tided over his opening season captaincy blues, JioStar expert Ajay Jadeja said Pandya’s indefatigable spirit is seeing Mumbai revive their challenge, with the turnaround most likely having come in the thriller against Delhi Capitals. Speaking exclusively on Kuhl Fans Match Centre Live on JioHotstar, JioStar expert Ajay Jadeja said, “Hardik Pandya is a character, and he is leading from the front – whether it’s batting, bowling, fielding, or even off the field. He’s always smiling. The one thing about him – he never gives up,” Jadeja said. Pandya had a torrid time when he returned to MI as captain with silly fans even booing him, but he’s stuck to his guns. “Last year wasn’t the best for him, but this year, even without great results early on, he’s stayed true to his style. The turnaround, in my opinion, came in the last game against Delhi Capitals. That game was gone; most teams would’ve given up. But Mumbai Indians clawed back – and that’s Hardik Pandya for you. That was the …

Who is Carl Hopkinson – the silent working fielding coach behind Mumbai Indians’ runout hat-trick and Ryan Rickelton’s stellar glovework?

Who is Carl Hopkinson – the silent working fielding coach behind Mumbai Indians’ runout hat-trick and Ryan Rickelton’s stellar glovework?

Published by Webster

Having lifted England’s fielding standards from doldrums while taking them to two white ball trophies, the 2019 50 over World Cup and 2021 T20 win, 43-year-old Carl Hopkinson had a stellar run as their specialist fielding coach. But when ECB let him go after the West Indies tour, he was quickly snapped up by Mumbai Indians. MI hadn’t quite set any stage on fire until on Sunday with slim win pickings, and we’re careening towards a defeat with Karun Nair going hammer and tongs for a 40 ball-89 as Delhi pursued 206. Defensive spinners, as Mitchell Santner explained, would find eventual success, as Nair, Tristan Stubbs, KL Rahul and Ashutosh Sharma were packed off to the pavilion, with each capable of being dangerous. However Delhi were just 26 runs away when Vipraj Nigam departed. To clean up the bottom order, with Ashutosh taking Capitals to 192/7, needed a sprinkling of magic. And it was made possible by MI’s fielding unit, as Will Jacks started the wondrous hat-trick show. Story continues below this ad A quick …
