Indian Cricket News, IPL 2025 Highlights & BCCI Updates
Cricket fans, you’ve probably been glued to the screen for the crazy IPL races and the off‑field buzz. From record chases to legal dramas, there’s a lot to catch up on. Below you’ll find the biggest stories that matter right now, broken down into the most exciting moments on the field and the news shaping the game off the pitch.
IPL 2025: Big Moments and Records
The IPL has never been more electrifying. In Visakhapatnam, Delhi Capitals pulled off a jaw‑dropping 210‑run chase against Lucknow Super Giants, winning by just one wicket. Axar Patel’s first match as full‑time captain ended with a celebratory finish, and Ashutosh Sharma’s unbeaten 66 sealed the drama.
Sunrisers Hyderabad turned heads when Travis Head smashed a 105‑meter six off Jofra Archer, turning a regular powerplay into a 94‑run onslaught. Archer’s four‑over spell of 0/76 became the most expensive in IPL history, but it also highlighted how aggressive batting is reshaping strategies.
Other headline‑making performances include Heinrich Klaasen speeding past the 1,000‑run milestone in just 594 balls, and Pat Cummins joking that even his own side’s batting scared him after a massive win over RCB. Meanwhile, bowlers like Kuldeep Yadav, Mitchell Starc and Shardul Thakur are being touted as match‑winners for their teams.
Off‑Field Stories Shaping Indian Cricket
Beyond the stadium, the cricket world is buzzing with controversy and policy debates. Gujarat CID has opened a probe into a ₹450 crore chit‑fund case that lists four Gujarat Titans players—Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Rahul Tewatia and Mohit Sharma—as investors. The investigation is still unfolding, and the players are being called for statements.
In another hot topic, Mohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have publicly criticized the BCCI’s new family‑travel policy for overseas tours. The board’s decision to limit how long families can accompany players has sparked debate about mental health and team focus.
Injuries are also taking a toll. Fast bowler Mayank Yadav was ruled out of IPL 2025 due to a recurring back problem, prompting Lucknow Super Giants to bring in New Zealand pacer Will O’Rourke. Similarly, Mitchell Starc withdrew from the Champions Trophy citing an ankle injury, leaving Australia’s pace attack in question.
These stories show that Indian cricket isn’t just about the runs on the scoreboard; it’s also about the legal, health and policy issues that affect every player’s career.
Keep checking back for the latest updates, because the drama on and off the field never stops. Whether you’re after match summaries, player interviews, or the next big controversy, we’ve got you covered.
