IPL 2025 is now in its final stage. Therefore, there is intense competition for the playoffs. Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings, and Sunrisers Hyderabad are the three teams that have been eliminated from the playoffs race. The remaining seven teams are fighting for four spots. So, the excitement has increased. If Lucknow Super Giants want to advance, they will have to win all their matches. This is only possible if Rishabh Pant regains his form. It is also important from the perspective of India's England tour. Kagiso Rabada has returned to Gujarat Titans after a one-month ban. What is the exact reason for that, and many such topics have been discussed by Aditya Joshi of 'Sports Katta' with Sumedh Naik. Sumedh is making his debut on 'Sports Katta'. For many years, he has been writing about cricket for various websites and also runs his own channel." "IPL २०२५ आता शेवटच्या टप्प्यात येत आहे. त्यामुळे प्लेऑफसाठी जोरदार स्पर्धा सुरू आहे. राजस्थान रॉयल्स, चेन्नई सुपर किंग्ज आणि सनरायझर्स हैदराबाद हे तीन संघ प्लेऑफच्या शर्यतीतून बाहेर पडले आहेत. बाकीचे सात संघ चार जागांसाठी झुंज देत आहेत. त्यामुळे रंगत वाढली आहे. लखनौ सुपर जायंट्सला पुढे जायचं असेल, तर त्यांना सगळे सामने जिंकावे लागतील. ऋषभ पंतला फॉर्म मिळाला, तरच हे शक्य आहे. भारताच्या इंग्लंड दौऱ्याच्या दृष्टीने देखील ते महत्त्वाचं आहे. कागिसो रबाडा एका महिन्याच्या बंदीनंतर पुन्हा एकदा गुजरात टायटन्सकडे परतला आहे. त्याचं नेमकं कारण काय आहे, या आणि अशा अनेक विषयांवर 'स्पोर्ट्स कट्टा'चे आदित्य जोशी यांनी सुमेध नाईकशी गप्पा मारल्या आहेत. सुमेध 'स्पोर्ट्स कट्टा'वर पदार्पण करत आहे. गेली अनेक वर्षं तो वेगवेगळ्या संकेतस्थळांसाठी क्रिकेटवर लेखन करतोय आणि स्वतःचं चॅनलही चालवतो आहे."

In this episode of the show, Raj, Baldy and Stu look back at week 5 of IPL 2025, which saw Mumbai and RCB make their moves, CSK start looking to next season and New Zealand Cricket invest in Major League Cricket in the USA. We start this week with a check in about RCB. It's been a strange season for them so far - less hyped than previous years, struggles at home, but with a lot of the players in key positions all delivering on what's required. We talk about Virat Kohli's quietly impressive stats, Josh Hazlewood doing the business, Tim David's finishing, Krunal Pandya's key moments and whether it's time to load up on RCB stock before it is too late. From there, we move to Mumbai's charge up the table thanks to Rohit Sharma's return to form, Suryakumar Yadav's consistency, a bag for Trent Boult and a bowling attack that looks so much more complete now that it features Jasprit Bumrah. Then it's time to bounce around a few different topics - from the top 6 teams putting a gap between them and the rest, to left-handed openers like Priyansh Arya and Yashasvi Jaiswal, and the contrasting fortunes of teams like the Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings. We round out the show with a discussion about New Zealand Cricket's investment in MLC in North America. Is international investment in franchise cricket a glimpse into the future of the game? How will it work in reality? Who could it benefit? Could we ever see something similar in the IPL? We'll be back in your feed again soon with more IPL coverage.

The latest discourse on the Indian Premier League 2025 unfolds with hosts Benny and Mayank as they delve into the unexpected developments of the tournament thus far. Central to our dialogue is the disconcerting performance of traditionally dominant teams, specifically the Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians, both languishing at the bottom of the standings. We explore the implications of these teams' struggles, contrasting them with the emerging prowess of younger players, such as Priyansh Arya and Digvesh Rathi, who have captured the attention and admiration of cricket enthusiasts. Additionally, we evaluate the strategic decisions and overall team dynamics that have contributed to the current standings while speculating on future trajectories as the season progresses. Join us as we dissect the nuances of this captivating season, providing insights into the evolving landscape of the IPL.

In this episode of the show, Baldy, Jamie and Stu look back at week 3 of IPL 2025 through a stock market lens. Who are we buying? Who are we selling? And what are we watching with our fingers poised ready to pounce in the coming weeks? We start this week with an injury update - and it's not been good news both on the field for the Kiwis Lockie Ferguson and Glenn Phillips, and in the podcast studio, with almost all of us suffering from one ailment or another. Once things do turn positive, it's the Gujarat Titans who are first to receive praise - in particular Sai Sudharsan and the consistency he's shown throughout the tournament so far. We also talk about Punjab's Indian core and the golden duck to century turnaround for Priyansh Arya. Dr Jamie takes us through the mindset needed to succeed across a long tournament like the IPL, in which you're bound to fail along the way - perhaps more often than you do succeed. Next we talk about the Sunrisers Hyderabad after Abhishek Sharma's outrageous 141, which saw them chase down almost 250 and maybe kick-start their turnaround. Is it time to load up on SRH stock? Or are there still worrying signs? Things get dark when discussion turns to CSK - the intent has disappeared, no one is scoring runs and not even MS Dhoni cameos can really get the crowd excited any more. Can they turn it around? Or is it already time to sell all our stock despite it reaching an all-time low? To round out the show, we detour briefly to talk about Harry Brook's appointment as England captain, we talk Digvesh Rathi's celebrations, Vipraj Nigam establishing DC's spin trio & Nicholas Pooran's six-hitting prowess as LSG continue to impress. We expect to be back in your feed later in the week with more IPL coverage.

Chennai Super Kings have humiliated themselves again, as their IPL 2025 season goes from bad to worse. We have to ask, is this the end of an era for CSK and MS Dhoni? Earlier in the week we saw RCB get taken down by Delhi Capitals and the Gujarat Titans beat Rajasthan Royals. We'll be talking about all that and previewing the weekend's IPL action.

Alison Mitchell, Clint Wheeldon and Sunil Gupta take stock of the Indian Premier League and discuss whether MS Dhoni should retire at the end of this season. Dhoni had to deny that he was retiring midway through the season after his parents were pictured at his match for Chennai Super Kings against Delhi Capitals. Plus we analyse the return of Jasprit Bumrah who has played his first match in 93 days after injuring his back and how big Virat Kohli's achievement is of reaching 13,000 T20 runs. Plus we go behind the scenes and hear what life is like for a cricket agent. We are joined by Cameron Richardson who manages a number of female Australian players including Ashes hero Alana King. He tells us that when he first saw her bowl at the age of 18, she reminded him of Shane Warne. He also shares with us the difference between managing male and female players and about balancing player burnout.

And what are we watching with our fingers poised ready to pounce in the coming weeks? We start on a positive note with praise for the Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals for their performances this week, as well as a shout out to the mega auction player reshuffle that has led to an unpredictable start to the 2025 edition of this tournament. As we move through the episode we hit on a number of other topics: Can DC keep up their good form? What's happened to Travis Head and the Sunrisers Hyderabad batting lineup? Are the Chennai Super Kings confused? And is MS Dhoni part of the problem? Is the impact player rule leading to fewer competitive games? Will the return of Jasprit Bumrah change the fortunes of the Mumbai Indians? Why isn't the fielding better? Is it time to reinvest in pace bowlers? And much more!

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Jamie, Baldy and Stu kick off the IPL 2025 coverage by previewing the fortunes of the Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings. We start with a Baldy explainer, and a quick chat about the impact of the mega auction, before moving straight into the team previews. We discuss what excites us about our chosen teams, whether that's particular players or team storylines, and whether they'll be in title contention come the business end of the tournament. First up is KKR, in which Binksy asks why they aren't favourites with the betting agencies, highlights the importance of Andre Russell and Sunil Narine again, as well as the talented Indian bowling core featuring the likes of Varun Chakravarthy, Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora. There's also a word on Ajinkya Rahane taking over as captain. Next is Sunrisers Hyderabad, in which Stu gets excited about songs, Abhishek Sharma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, the power-packed batting lineup and bowling reinforcements, before asking whether this team can go one better in 2025. For the Rajasthan Royals, the absence of Jos Buttler is the question on our minds. Without him and others, they look weaker and the betting agencies have written them off. But can Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal and co. make those odds look silly when the winners medals are handed out at the end of May? The Mumbai Indians are up fourth, and Baldy proceeds with caution when discussing their favouritism with the bookmakers. Will the star-studded batting lineup featuring Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya and friends deliver in 2025? Or will the absence of Jasprit Bumrah - for how long? - be too difficult to overcome with the ball in hand? To round out part one of our preview, Jamie takes a look at CSK, highlighting the plethora of options their allrounder-packed squad provides them. What role will Rachin Ravindra play? Will MS Dhoni continue his six-hitting exploits? And when the team does settle on a best XI, will it be strong enough to take them to the final? We'll be back in your feed again at the end of the week with the second episode of our IPL 2025 Preview.

He played as a right-arm off spin bowler and a handy lower order batsman. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest spinners of all time. He represented the national team and was a part of the team that won the 2011 ODI World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy, where in the 2013 final, he bowled the match-winning over. He plays for Tamil Nadu and South Zone in domestic cricket and for Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League. On 18 December 2024, he announced retirement from all formats of international cricket. Ashwin has taken more than 500 wickets in Tests and was the fastest bowler to reach 300 test wickets in terms of number of innings.

As of September 2024, he is the highest-ranked bowler in the ICC men's player rankings and the highest rated Indian bowler ever in Test cricket.Ashwin started as an opening batsman but dropped down the order due to limited success and turned into an off-break bowler. He made his first-class debut for Tamil Nadu in December 2006 and captained the team the following season.

He was the leading wicket-taker and player of the tournament of the 2010 Champions League Twenty20, which was won by CSK. He also won the 2014 Champions League Twenty20 and two IPL titles (2010, 2011) with CSK.In 2011, Ashwin made his Test debut against West Indies and became the seventh Indian bowler to take a five-wicket haul on debut. He had greater success with the turning tracks in the Indian subcontinent, including taking 29 wickets in a series against Australia, the most by any Indian bowler in a four-match Test series. In the 2015–16 season, he took 48 wickets and scored 336 runs in eight Test matches, along with 27 wickets in 19 T20I's, enabling him to win the ICC Cricketer of the Year and ICC Men's Test Cricketer of the Year awards for 2016. He has been named five times to the ICC Men's Test Team of the Year and was named in the ICC Men's Test Team of the Decade 2011–20.

Suryakumar Yadav heading to Kolkata Knight Riders, Shubman Gill to be the Punjab Kings captain, Rishabh Pant for Chennai Super Kings and Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah to be in the auction, just to name a few.How seriously should such trending news be taken? Let's find out from the Weekly Katta. Over to Sports Katta's Aditya Joshi and The Hindu's sports journalist Amol Karhadkar. IPL आणि मेगा ऑक्शन हा जबरदस्त बातमीचा फॉर्म्युला आहे. कोणत्या संघाला किती खेळाडूंना रिटेन करता येणार हे अजून कोणालाचनक्की  माहित नाही. पण सूर्या निघाला KKR कडे, गिल पंजाबकडे, झहीर खान खान लखनौकडे प्रशिक्षक म्हणून आणि युवराज दिल्लीकडे अशा वेगवेगळ्या बातम्या सोशल मिडियावर रोज येत आहेत. जोपर्यंत रिटेन्शनची हंडी फुटणार नाहीये, तोपर्यंत ही पतंगबाजी सुरू राहणार आहे. साधारण ऑक्टोबरच्या अखेरपर्यंत रिटेन्शन येतील. तोपर्यंत या बातम्यांना किती महत्त्व द्यायचं आणि 'ट्रेंडिंग' बातम्यांकडे कसं बघायचं यावर वीकली कट्ट्यामध्ये बोलत आहेत 'द हिंदू' चे अमोल कऱ्हाडकर आणि 'स्पोर्ट्स कट्टा' चे आदित्य जोशी

In this episode of the show, Binksy and Stu look back at the final week of the IPL 2024 regular season before previewing the upcoming knockout fixtures. Recorded on 20 May, we talk about a week that saw Royal Challengers Bengaluru storm into the playoffs, Sunrisers Hyderabad snatch second place, Kolkata Knight Riders watch some rain fall, Rajasthan Royals extend their losing streak and missed opportunities for Lucknow Super Giants and the Chennai Super Kings. We discuss the epic match between RCB and CSK, which essentially became a quarterfinal thanks to LSG's slip up earlier in the week, and then take a closer look at all four playoff teams as we move to the business end of the season. KKR have been superb all season, but will Phil Salt's absence and consecutive washouts leave them vulnerable? The Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling attack has improved throughout the season, but are their chances tied heavily to the success of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head at the top of the order? With the Rajasthan Royals in a slump and Jos Buttler gone - is Ravichandran Ashwin at 5 really the answer? Virat Kohli's form has been immense all season for RCB, but have they become an all-round threat during this six-game win streak? Plus predictions and much more! We might be back again later in the week with more news and views if there's an incredible game we can't wait to talk about, but if not we'll be in your feed again about this time next week to wrap up the final and also look ahead to the T20 World Cup.

Die verdedigende kampioen in die Indiese Premierliga, die Chennai Super Kings, is weer op die wenpad ná 'n oorwinning van sewe paaltjies oor die Kolkata Knight Riders op die Chepauk. Tushar Deshpande en Ravindra Jadeja het elk drie paaltjies geneem en gehelp om Kolkata in hul 20 boulbeurte tot 137 vir nege te beperk. CSK het sy derde sege in vyf wedstryde behaal met die hulp van sy kaptein, Ruturaj Gaikwad, se 67-nie-uit-nie van 58 balle. Gaikwad sê dit is noodsaaklik om by die toestande aan te pas:

Two IPL games to talk about today, as we cover Sunrisers Hyderabad smashing the Chennai Super Kings and the Punjab Kings miracle win v the Gujarat Titans.  Shashank Singh, who was rumoured to have been accidentally bought at the IPL auction, redeemed himself with a scintillating 50 that lead Punjab Kings to a heroic win.  Today CSK batted like lemons to leave SRH only 165 to win. Sunrisers set off on fire with Abhishek blasting the ball everywhere as they cruised towards an easy win.  We provide our reaction to both IPL 2024 matches from the last two days.  Use the code: CRICKETPOD for 20% off + free shipping at Manscaped.com Links to podcast audio: https://linktr.ee/thecricketpod Our website: thecricketpod.com Support the podcast: patreon.com/thecricketpod Buy merchandise: https://seriouscricket.co.uk/teamwear/stores/the-cricket-podcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecricketpod Buy coffee: https://cricketcoffeeco.com/products/the-cricket-podcast-coffee Twitter and Instagram: @thecricketpod Want to create live streams like this?

On this episode of STRIKE RATE: THE CRICKET ANALYTICS PODCAST we talk about the Chennai Super Kings. Why is it that CSK have been so successful for so many years in the IPL?

Three games in the 2024 IPL for us to talk about this weekend. Yesterday Lucknow Super Giants beat the Punjab Kings of comedy, thanks to Mayank Yadav bowling 97mph and Nicholas Pooran blasing the ball into orbit.  Today we say the Gujarat Titans overcome the Sunrisers Hyderabad thanks to a combination of Mohit Sharma, Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed.  Then later Delhi Capitals posted a score of 190 v Chennai Super Kings and thanks to some tight bowling put the pressure on Gaikwad, Dhoni and the boys to pull off a difficult chase. Rishabh Pant scored his first 50 since his car accident.  Use the code: CRICKETPOD for 20% off + free shipping at Manscaped.com Links to podcast audio: https://linktr.ee/thecricketpod Our website: thecricketpod.com Support the podcast: patreon.com/thecricketpod Buy merchandise: https://seriouscricket.co.uk/teamwear/stores/the-cricket-podcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecricketpod Buy coffee: https://cricketcoffeeco.com/products/the-cricket-podcast-coffee Twitter and Instagram: @thecricketpod Want to create live streams like this?

Mumbai Indians were caught in the headlights as their bowlers were punished by the Sunrisers who were in amazing form.  Earlier in the week Chennai Super Kings overcame the Titans with ease, as MS Dhoni took a great catch along the way. And Royal Challengers Bangalore won their first match of the year as they jumped all over mistakes from the Punjab Kings.

MS Dhoni and the Chennai Super Kings take on Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bangalore. CSK v RCB is a classic of the IPL and a fitting way to begin the tournament, but who will take the bragging rights on this occasion? The 17th edition of the IPL is here! CSK got things going against RCB, eventually recording a comfortable win in Ruturaj Gaikwad's first game in charge. RCB started well, but 4 wickets for Mustafizur and an electric start to Rachin Ravindra's IPL career were good enough for Chennai.

On this episode of The Cricket Podcast we continue with our IPL 2024 Team Previews. This episode is a big one, featuring three of the biggest franchises in the Indian Premier League: Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders. Are any of them contenders for this year's IPL title. Chennai Super Kings go into this year after winning the tournament last year. MS Dhoni is still in charge and with players like Jadeja, Chahar, Moeen Ali, the Dube and more backing him up they look like they could be a threat to win the IPL again. Can they secure another championship or might this be one tournament to far for the legendary Dhoni? Royal Challengers Bangalore made a big trade before the auction, picking up Cameron Green to bolster their batting. Along with the acquisition of Alzarri Joseph they seem like they could have improved for this year's IPL. However, there are weaknesses in other areas of the team and their bowling, in particular, looks like it could come under pressure. Will RCB be able to pull it together and finally deliver Virat Kohli the title he wants? Finally we talk Kolkata Knight Riders. They feature an exciting batting line up with Rinku Singh, Andre Russell and now Phil Salt providing serious firepower to their batting card. Backed up by a spin trio lead by Narine they could be a real handful with the ball too, especially if we see Mitchell Starc hit his stride. Could they be the dark horses for the IPL title?
