Top IPL 2025 Stories
The IPL 2025 season is already buzzing. In Visakhapatnam, Delhi Capitals pulled off a record chase of 210 runs, edging Lucknow Super Giants by just one wicket. Captain Axar Patel lifted his first full‑time captaincy trophy, while Ashutosh Sharma’s unbeaten 66 sealed the win.
Sunrisers Hyderabad have been on a roll too. Travis Head smashed a massive six of over 105 metres off Jofra Archer, helping SRH post a blistering 286/6 against Rajasthan Royals. Archer, unfortunately, set a new unwanted record for the most expensive spell in IPL history, giving away 76 runs in four overs.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians enjoyed a powerful start thanks to a solid partnership between Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton. Their opening stand gave MI the best start of the season, though recent injuries to key players have raised questions about their playoff chances.
Off‑field drama is also making headlines. Gujarat CID is probing a ₹450‑crore chit‑fund case that lists four Gujarat Titans players, including Shubman Gill, as investors. The investigation is still ongoing, and the players are being called for statements as victims.
Off‑field Updates and Policies
The BCCI has sparked debate with its new family‑travel policy for overseas tours. Mohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have publicly criticized the rule, saying it could affect players’ mental health. The board argues the policy is needed for discipline after a recent loss in Australia.
In other news, Mitchell Starc withdrew from the 2025 Champions Trophy citing an ankle injury and personal reasons, leaving Australia’s pace attack a bit thin. Steve Smith has stepped up to lead the side, but the team will have to rely on younger bowlers to fill the gap.
For fantasy fans, the upcoming T10 match between Oeiras CC and Fighters CC in Portugal offers a clear edge for OEI’s batters. The pitch favors early batting and pace, so pick the top order hitters for the best points.
