Ahead of the match, IPL 2025 has already thrown viral stories and iconic moments in the last 24 hours that have dominated the news headlines and narratives surrounding the league. Below are the biggest highlights for the 10 franchises competing for the IPL title.
In the IPL, few players can be a better choice as a mentor than MS Dhoni. The wicketkeeper-batter is still going strong at 43, leading Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) charge for its sixth title. Alongside, he has been a mentor for his team라이브 바카라 youngsters, particularly 22-year-old pacer Matheesha Pathirana.
The Sri Lankan bowler joined CSK in 2022, and Dhoni quickly became a father figure to him in a foreign country and one of the biggest leagues in cricket.
“Dhoni is like my father, because of the support and the mentorship and the guidance he is giving me when I'm in CSK,” Pathirana said in a documentary shared by CSK. “It's very similar to what my father did in my home. That's why I consider Dhoni my cricketing father.”
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) got their title defence back on track against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH), winning by 80 runs at the Eden Gardens on Thursday. The main reason was the performance of their bowlers, who restricted the SRH batters to 120 runs.
Big-hitter Travis Head also failed to show up, hitting one boundary before being sent home the very next ball by Vaibhav Arora. The Knight Riders took to social media to poke fun at the Australian batter, listing his previous two scores against them – ducks.
After a fiery start to their IPL 2025 campaign, SRH라이브 바카라 season has gone off the rails with a third-straight loss against KKR on Thursday. Other than the loss itself, Pat Cummins’ team will be more concerned with the monumental margin of the defeat – 80 runs – against a team that lost their previous game.
Chasing a total of 200 in a pitch that was batting-friendly, the SunRisers batters absolutely capitulated, getting all out for just 120. Virender Sehwag failed to find the reason behind the display, saying that neither the Eden Gardens pitch nor KKR라이브 바카라 bowling was difficult to play against.
“Hyderabad have disappointed. What can I say?” he said. “The paying public has come to see you. Yes, the game was in Kolkata, but Hyderabad has a reputation… It just disappeared here.”
In the aftermath of their record 80-run win against SRH, Knight Riders owner Shah Rukh Khan sent CEO Venky Mysore a message congratulating his team as well as the efforts of each individual player, including Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Venkatesh Iyer, and more.
However, it was his praise reserved for veteran batter Quinton de Kock that was the highlight. In the message, Khan said, “One learning from this match mainly. Listen to what Quinny (de Kock) says. All the best.”
The camera caught de Kock라이브 바카라 face, which was visibly awkward and puzzled after getting such high praise directly from the team라이브 바카라 owner.
While the World Cup might be the pinnacle of cricketing glory for players, former Australian captain Adam Gilchrist thinks that winning the IPL is a lot harder than the previous achievement. In a podcast with Michael Vaughn regarding the best IPL captain, Gilchrist fired back after Pat Cummins’ name was preferred over his own.
“I’ll tell you, it라이브 바카라 a lot harder to win an IPL trophy than a World Cup,” the former wicketkeeper said. “You heard it right here on Club Prairie Fire. Sorry Punter (Ricky Ponting), he captained about 8 World Cups.”
