Jofra Archer set a new, unwanted IPL record by conceding 76 runs in four overs— the most expensive spell ever— as Rajasthan Royals lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad in a high-scoring 2025 season opener. Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, and Heinrich Klaasen powered SRH to a massive 286/6, leaving RR short despite a strong chase.

Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton gave Mumbai Indians the season’s best start with a record opening partnership, but inconsistent form and sudden exits force tough questions for MI’s playoff dreams. New signings Jonny Bairstow and Richard Gleeson now face the pressure to keep the run going.

Mayank Yadav has been ruled out of IPL 2025 following a recurring back injury, cutting short his much-anticipated return. LSG have signed New Zealand pace bowler Will O’Rourke to fill the gap and keep their hopes alive as the tournament picks up after suspension.

Heinrich Klaasen became the second-fastest player to score 1,000 IPL runs, achieving it in just 594 balls. His aggressive batting style, highlighted by an explosive century against KKR, has made him a central figure for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2025 season, despite the team's ups and downs.

Oeiras CC (OEI) face Fighters CC (FIG) in the ECS T10 Portugal with OEI as clear favorites after a strong win in their last match. FIG's recent form raises questions, especially with their weak batting. Fantasy teams should focus on OEI’s batters and FIG’s spinners, as the pitch heavily favors first-batting and pace bowlers.

Mohit Sharma has publicly joined Virat Kohli in challenging the BCCI's new rules limiting player family stays during long overseas tours. The move comes after India's defeat in Australia, with the board aiming to boost player discipline. While some voices call for more family support, others insist national duty must come first.
