IPL 2025 – Who’s Playing and When?
The Indian Premier League kicks off with plenty of drama. After a record‑breaking chase in Visakhapatnam, Delhi Capitals took down Lucknow Super Giants by one wicket. That game set the tone for a season packed with fireworks.
Key fixtures to mark on your calendar:
- Delhi Capitals vs Lucknow Super Giants – early March, a must‑watch for captain Axar Patel’s debut as full‑time skipper.
- Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals – the match where Jofra Archer posted the most expensive spell (76 runs) and Travis Head launched a 105‑meter six.
- CSK vs MI – the clash that turned into a ball‑tampering controversy featuring Ruturaj Gaikwad and Khaleel Ahmed.
- Mumbai Indians opening partnership – Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton set a new record, but injuries could shake things up later in the season.
Keep an eye on the power‑play games, especially those where bowlers like Kuldeep Yadav, Mitchell Starc and Shardul Thakur can change the result in a few overs. The schedule is tight, so plan your weekend watch parties early.
Beyond Cricket: F1, Champions Trophy and More
Cricket isn’t the only excitement in 2025. Formula 1 is revving up with Lando Norris grabbing his first win at the Miami Grand Prix, and the Chinese Grand Prix drawing a record crowd of 220,000 fans. If you love speed, note the race weekend dates and expect surprise finishes.
The Champions Trophy also brings a twist – star pacer Mitchell Starc withdrew over an ankle injury, leaving Australia’s pace attack in flux. This opens a window for emerging bowlers to shine, and the tournament schedule now includes a few rescheduled matches.
Travel fans will notice the Vande Bharat Express launching a fast Durg‑Visakhapatnam route in eight hours. Though the service will shift to a mini‑rake later in the year, it’s a handy option for those heading to match venues.
In summary, the 2025 schedule is a blend of high‑octane cricket, fast‑track racing and handy travel updates. Bookmark this page, set alerts for your favorite teams, and enjoy the season without missing a beat.
