Mohammed Siraj Loses Cool After GT Star’s Blunder. Ravi Shastri’s Reaction Adds To Drama

Mohammed Siraj Loses Cool After GT Star’s Blunder. Ravi Shastri’s Reaction Adds To Drama

Mohammed Siraj lost his cool at his Gujarat Titans (GT) teammate R Sai Kishore during their final group game of IPL 2025 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday. The incident happened on the penultimate ball of the fifth over of CSK’s innings. CSK batter Urvil Patel pushed Siraj’s delivery towards mid-off and pushed for a single. While he comfortably completed the run, GT captain Shubman Gill decided to have a go at the stumps. Gill affected a direct hit, but the ball went for an overthrow after deflecting with the stumps. It got even worse for GT after Kishore sprinted from the square-leg region and slid to collect the ball at midwicket. He mistakenly pushed the ball away for a single, allowing the CSK batters to steal another run, making it three runs off the ball. Cameras caught Siraj hurling a mouthfall at Kishore and even smashed the ball on the ground. In the end, he had to be consoled by Gill, whose mistake sparked the entire episode. Reacting to Siraj’s meltdown, former …

“Let It Be…”: MS Dhoni Drops One-Liner After Ravi Shastri’s Big Question At RCB vs CSK Toss Time

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni shared a light-hearted moment with former India cricketer and head coach Ravi Shastri during toss time against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). MS Dhoni had opted to bowl after winning the toss in a packed M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, when his former coach Shastri asked whether CSK had any plans to control RCB’s aggressive powerplay batting. Dhoni dropped a cheeky one-line response to Shastri’s question, refusing to give away his cards ahead of a high-profile match. “Let it be plans, Ravi bhai,” Dhoni said during the toss. As it turned out, RCB’s openers did put up an aggressive display with the bat. Englishman Jacob Bethell smashed a half-century on only his second-ever IPL match, slamming 55 off 33 balls. RCB stalwart Virat Kohli was even quicker, making 62 off his 33 balls. CSK were unable to curb RCB’s batters in the powerplay, as Kohli and Bethell piled up 71 runs in the powerplay. CSK pacers Khaleel Ahmed and Anshul Kamboj were taken to the cleaners by Salt …
