IPL 2025 Match Highlights
Delhi Capitals pulled off a jaw‑dropping 210‑run chase against Lucknow Super Giants in Visakhapatnam, winning by a single wicket. Axar Patel’s first match as full‑time captain ended in triumph, and Ashutosh Sharma’s unbeaten 66 sealed the win.
Sunrisers Hyderabad turned the tables on Rajasthan Royals when Travis Head smashed a massive 105‑meter six off Jofra Archer. That blast helped SRH post 286/6, a total that left the Royals scrambling. Archer, meanwhile, set an unwanted record by conceding 76 runs in four overs – the most expensive spell in IPL history.
Heinrich Klaasen raced to 1,000 IPL runs in just 594 balls, becoming the second‑fastest player to reach the milestone. His blistering century against Kolkata Knight Riders highlighted how crucial his aggressive style is for SRH’s campaign.
On the bowling side, Kuldeep Yadav, Mitchell Starc and Shardul Thakur emerged as match‑winning options in the Capitals vs Super Giants clash. Their variations and disciplined lines often decided tight finishes, showing why fast bowlers remain game‑changers even on flat tracks.
Off‑field Stories & Policies
The Gujarat CID launched a probe into a ₹450 crore chit‑fund case that links four Gujarat Titans players – Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Rahul Tewatia and Mohit Sharma – as investors. The investigation has sparked a wider debate about player involvement in financial schemes.
Off the field, Mohit Sharma joined Virat Kohli in criticizing the BCCI’s new family‑travel policy for overseas tours. The board’s rule limits how long families can accompany players, aiming to improve discipline but raising concerns about mental‑health impacts.
In a separate incident, Delhi Metro commuters caught a mobile thief in action, demonstrating how quick community response can curb petty crime in crowded public spaces.
Meanwhile, injuries continue to reshuffle team line‑ups. Mayank Yadav’s back problem forced Lucknow Super Giants to bring in New Zealand pacer Will O’Rourke, while Shardul Thakur stepped into LSG after Mohsin Khan’s knee injury, highlighting how depth in the squad matters.
These on‑ and off‑field developments keep the IPL season anything but predictable. Whether you’re a fan of high‑octane chases, record‑smashing innings or the drama behind the scenes, the major cricket tag brings everything you need in one place.
