Rohit Sharma's form in IPL hampers Mumbai Indians' momentum. Anjum Chopra suggests strategic changes. Encouragement for young players like Shafali Verma.

Anjum Chopra on Rohit Sharma's IPL Struggle

Rohit Sharma's struggles in the IPL have impacted Mumbai Indians' performance. Anjum Chopra suggests strategic alterations and emphasizes resilience and growth for players like Shafali Verma.

Rohit Sharma's performance dip has affected Mumbai Indians in the IPL. Anjum Chopra suggests strategic adjustments, indicating the need for resilience and optimism for players like Rohit and young cricketer Shafali Verma.

Rohit Sharma's poor run of form hasn't allowed Mumbai Indians to set the tone in in the IPL so far, believes former Indian women's captain Anjum Chopra.
The former MI captain has been reduced to an impact sub for the Hardik Pandya-led side with a string of low scores, 0,8, 13, 17 and 18, that cut a sorry figure in the IPL.
MI fashioned a 12-run win in their recent game against the Delhi Capitals on Sunday and are saddled in the seventh position in the ten-team points table with four losses and two wins.
"You can be out of form. It's not a crime to be out of form. The only idea is that it's not helping, it's not setting the start that Mumbai Indians were looking for or are looking for right at the top," Anjum told PTI Videos in an exclusive interaction on Tuesday.
Anjum suggested that if Rohit's famed position at the top is unable to give them the returns they seek then demoting him down the order could do the trick.
"So, I mean, they have options, they can always look at pushing Rohit Sharma down the order or not utilizing all those options are always there. But it's not that Rohit Sharma is out of form, it's just that sometimes you don't start the tournament on that good a note or that high a note and it can affect you as a batter or as a player as well," "So, it's part and parcel. It's like we are, we are watching a tournament as and when it's an IPL or a World Cup. But tell me in a World Cup, would you want your best batter to be in form in a World Cup or not? And a lot of energy goes into delivering that kind of performance," "Some people recover from that and step into the next tournament quicker than most or others. It's not that others can't get into it. He hasn't got that kind of a start but then we know what kind of a player he is or what kind of a match winner is," said Anjum.
It's not at all gloomy for Shafali ==================== It is not all doom and gloom for young opener Shafali Verma, whom Anjum advised not to lose heart after being overlooked once again.
"If she is rested or dropped from an Indian team, there is always an opportunity to make a comeback. I mean, it's happened with any and everyone. It's not that the heavens have fallen or the tides have changed. Every player goes through it.
"So, for a player of her age and if she starts thinking and people around her start thinking that it's curtains for her, I think it's a wrong thought. A 20, 21-year-old player can always look at the bright side that it is just the start of my career.
"I don't think it's curtains for her. I mean, we're playing for India at the end of the day. So, you would expect that kind of competition," said Anjum who played 12 Tests, 127 ODIs and 18 T20Is for India.

Delhi Capitals' captain Axar Patel fined Rs 12 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate against Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025. His struggling form, with no wickets and only 67 runs so far, adds to Delhi's concerns.

Axar Patel Fined Rs 12 Lakh in IPL 2025

Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel penalized Rs 12 lakh for slow over-rate during IPL 2025 match against Mumbai Indians. First offence of the season under IPL Article 2.22. Patel's form is a growing concern.

Axar Patel fined Rs 12 lakh for a slow over-rate in DC's loss to MI in IPL 2025. The Capitals' first offence under IPL Article 2.22. Axar's form a concern: no wickets, 67 runs in five matches.

Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel was fined Rs 12 lakh for maintaining slow over-rate during his team's 12-run defeat at the hands of Mumbai Indians in an IPL game. MI scored 205 for 5 in 20 overs while DC were all out for 193 in 19 overs.
"Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during Match No. 29 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 against Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. As this was his team&rsquo;s first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL&rsquo;s Code of Conduct, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences, Patel was fined INR 12 lakhs," the BCCI said in a release.
While this was DC's first defeat in the tournament, Axar continued to struggle, having gone wicketless in five matches and managing only 67 runs with the bat.

Karachi Kings' thrilling victory over Multan Sultans saw James Vince's rapid century and an unusual hair dryer award, sparking debate.

James Vince's Century 

James Vince's rapid century led Karachi Kings to victory over Multan Sultans in PSL 2025, overshadowed by a hair dryer award controversy. Vince's feat ranks third-fastest in PSL history, stirring social media reactions amid Karachi's cricket celebrations.

James Vince's stellar century led Karachi Kings to a thrilling PSL win over Multan Sultans, sparking debate with a quirky hair dryer award.

In a curious turn of events during the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025, a post-match award ceremony became the talk of the town after the Karachi Kings secured a thrilling victory over Multan Sultans at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi.
England's James Vince, whose incredible century was pivotal in the win, was unexpectedly awarded a hair dryer, sparking a wave of criticism across social media platforms.
Multan Sultans had initially set a formidable total of 234/3, powered by a stellar, unbeaten 105 off just 63 balls by Mohammad Rizwan. Karachi Kings, however, responded with resilience, thanks to a crucial 142-run partnership for the fifth wicket between James Vince and Khusdil Shah.
Vince not only crafted a scintillating century but also laid the foundation for his team's successful chase, which was sealed with four balls to spare. He eventually fell on the last ball of the 18th over, while Khusdil remained not out with a blazing 60 off 37 balls.
Following the home side's four-wicket triumph, Vince was deservingly named Player of the Match. He was then asked to visit the dressing room where a sponsor presented him with a hair dryer, an unconventional choice that left both Vince and fans somewhat bewildered.

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The unusual reward quickly became fodder for social media, where fans criticized the PSL franchise for awarding such a quirky prize for a batting display of such caliber.
In terms of record achievements, Vince's rapid century, completed in just 42 balls, ranks as the third-fastest in PSL history. The record for the fastest stands with Usman Khan, who scored a century in an astonishing 36 balls, with Rilee Rossouw of South Africa clocking in a 41-ball hundred.
Riding high after their triumph, Karachi Kings are set to face Lahore Qalandars next on Tuesday at the National Stadium, aiming to maintain their winning momentum in the league.

SRH seeks to bounce back against high-flying Punjab Kings. With a formidable batting lineup faltering, SRH needs brighter performances from stars like Travis Head and Ishan Kishan.

SRH vs. Punjab Kings: Big IPL Clash Ahead

SRH is eager to end their losing streak against Punjab Kings in their next IPL clash. Their aggressive batting strategy needs tweaking, while Punjab, under Shreyas Iyer, looks confident and strong.

Sunrisers Hyderabad aim to reverse their losing streak as they face the in-form Punjab Kings in their next IPL match, needing stronger performances from key players and improved game tactics.

In a bid to halt a concerning downward spiral, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are eager to turn their fortunes around as they prepare to host the formidable Punjab Kings in their next IPL fixture on Saturday.
Last season's runners-up, SRH kicked off their 2025 campaign with a bang, posting a colossal 286 runs to decisively defeat Rajasthan Royals by 44 runs.
Their explosive batting line-up, touted as one of the tournament's most potent, initially seemed poised to make history by breaking the 300-run barrier. However, their hyper-aggressive batting approach has dramatically backfired since that opening triumph.
In the subsequent three matches, SRH's relentless attacking strategy resulted in subpar totals of 163, 120, and 152, leading to heavy defeats and leaving them stranded at the bottom of the points table. Compounding their woes, they currently have the worst Net Run Rate in the league at -1.629.
For Sunrisers Hyderabad, improved performances from marquee players such as Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Heinrich Klaasen are imperative.
Head, whose dynamic starts were key last season, has struggled to find form with a highest partnership of only 15 runs.
His performances have dwindled, with scores of 67, 47, 22, 4, and 8. Abhishek Sharma, too, has yet to hit his stride, his highest score being a modest 24 in five innings.
After an unbeaten century in the opener, Ishan Kishan has not been able to replicate his form, while middle-order stalwart Heinrich Klaasen is yet to make a substantial impact.
Despite these struggles, SRH seems committed to their aggressive playing style. Head coach Daniel Vettori advocates for improved game awareness while maintaining their strategic philosophy.
"I think we know the style is going to work, but we have to respect conditions, and we have to assess really well and that's probably something we haven't done," Vettori noted.
While SRH's batting issues have been a focal point, their bowling attack has also underperformed.
Despite seasoned pacers like Pat Cummins, Mohammed Shami, and Harshal Patel, SRH have struggled to secure early breakthroughs or apply pressure during the middle overs.
In contrast, Punjab Kings are enjoying early success under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer.
His proficiency with the bat and tactical acumen have propelled the team to three victories in four matches, earning them a spot in the upper tier of the points table.
Adding to Punjab's dynamism is rising star Priyansh Arya, who electrified spectators with a stunning century against CSK, where others faltered.
As SRH look to regain their competitiveness, the upcoming clash promises to test their resolve against a Punjab Kings side brimming with confidence and form.

Delhi Capitals defeated RCB by 6 wickets in IPL 2025, spearheaded by KL Rahul's unbeaten 93. Despite RCB's early gains, late-game dynamics and strategic missteps led to their downfall.

Delhi Capitals Secure Victory with KL Rahul's 93

KL Rahul's commanding 93 not out secured Delhi Capitals’ victory over RCB in IPL 2025. Despite a strong start, RCB couldn't maintain momentum, with on-field tensions highlighted by Virat Kohli's reactions.

Delhi Capitals maintained their unbeaten run in IPL 2025, defeating RCB by 6 wickets, led by KL Rahul's unbeaten 93. RCB's early advantage was lost, sparking on-field discussions. RCB now holds third place, while Delhi leads the standings.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru succumbed to a 6-wicket defeat against the formidable Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash on Thursday.
Despite a strong start at home while defending a total of 163, RCB couldn't withstand the onslaught led by KL Rahul.
The Capitals' opener, returning to familiar grounds, remained undefeated with a masterful 93, ensuring the visitors maintained their unbeaten streak this season.
RCB initially had the upper hand, dismissing Delhi's top three batters for a paltry 30 runs.
However, as Rahul began to assert his dominance in the latter part of the innings, a visibly animated Virat Kohli was spotted engaging in a fervent discussion with his coach, Dinesh Karthik.
The exchange, captured on live television, has sparked speculation regarding Kohli&rsquo;s dissatisfaction with some decisions made by current skipper Rajat Patidar.
Commentators Aakash Chopra and Virender Sehwag noted that any grievances Kohli may have should be communicated to the captain, as he no longer holds that position.
Observers also noted Kohli sharing his thoughts with veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar about on-field strategies. The specific reasons for Kohli's visible agitation remain undisclosed.
Rahul's innings was pivotal in the Capitals' chase, allowing them to comfortably reach the target with 2.1 overs remaining. RCB&rsquo;s captain, Rajat Patidar, attributed the team's loss to the batters' failure to capitalize on a seemingly favorable pitch.
Reflecting on the defeat, Patidar remarked, "The wicket appeared suitable for batting, but our performance didn&rsquo;t reflect that. Our top order showed intent but faltered collapsing from 80 for 1 to 90 for 4. Despite having a strong lineup, we need better situational assessment. Tim David's late acceleration was commendable, and our powerplay bowling stood out. Our focus remains on playing good cricket irrespective of where we play."
As a result of the defeat, RCB find themselves third on the points table, while Delhi Capitals solidify their position at the top, asserting their dominance in the 18th edition of the T20 league.

KL Rahul celebrated a significant IPL win inspired by the film 'Kantara' at Chinnaswamy. His 93* against RCB highlights his deep ties to the stadium.

KL Rahul's 'Kantara' Celebration in IPL

KL Rahul, inspired by 'Kantara', celebrated DC's victory against RCB at Chinnaswamy. His knock of 93* was a masterclass, showcasing his deep stadium connection.

KL Rahul celebrated a key IPL victory against RCB at Chinnaswamy, drawing inspiration from 'Kantara'. His performance included a brilliant 93* run chase, reinforcing his deep connection to his home stadium.

Delhi Capitals' wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul, renowned for his usually calm on-field demeanor, broke character with an animated celebration after his team&rsquo;s pivotal victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL.
The celebration, which has since gone viral, was inspired by the 2022 Kannada film "Kantara"&mdash;a movie Rahul holds dear. The cinematic gesture seemed to declare the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, a ground intrinsic to Rahul&rsquo;s cricketing journey, as his own.
"This ground is special to me," Rahul explained in a video shared by DC. "The celebration was inspired by one of my favorite movies, Kantara. It was a reminder that this ground, this turf, is mine."
In "Kantara," a character famously plants a sword into the ground, a visual that Rahul mirrored by emphatically thumping his chest and pointing towards the pitch and his jersey.
Rahul&rsquo;s connection to the Chinnaswamy Stadium runs deep. As a Karnataka native, he honed his skills here and had stints with RCB during the 2013 and 2016 IPL seasons.
At this venue, his T20 record speaks volumes; he has accumulated 544 runs in 20 matches at an average of 41.84 and a strike rate surpassing 145, with his top score being an undefeated 93. His IPL contributions here include 475 runs in 18 matches, averaging 43.18.
The recent IPL encounter against RCB highlighted Rahul&rsquo;s prowess yet again. After Delhi invited RCB to bat first, a stellar spin performance from Kuldeep Yadav (2/17) and Vipraj Nigam (2/18) restricted the hosts to 163/7 in their allotted 20 overs.
Standout performances came from Phil Salt (37 from 17 balls) and Tim David (37* from 20 balls), overcoming the aggressive opening partnership between Salt and Virat Kohli.
In response, Delhi Capitals found themselves tottering at 58/4, before Rahul and Tristan Stubbs took charge. Their unbroken 111-run partnership for the fifth wicket steered the team to victory.
Rahul&rsquo;s commanding knock of 93* off 53 deliveries, punctuated by seven fours and six sixes, earned him the 'Player of the Match' title. Stubbs offered solid support with his 38* from 23 balls.
Rahul&rsquo;s recent form has been remarkable, tallying 185 runs in just three matches with two half-centuries.
His performances have left DC sitting comfortably in second place with four consecutive wins, while RCB holds the fourth spot with three wins out of five.
In summary, KL Rahul's inspired celebration not only resonates with his love for cinema, particularly "Kantara," but also underscores his deep-rooted connection to a ground synonymous with his cricketing career.

RCB Falters vs DC: Patidar's Critique

RCB captain Rajat Patidar rues batting collapse against DC. Despite team's initial edge, KL Rahul's strategic innings secured a six-wicket win for DC. The game highlighted IPL's demand for adaptability and resilience.

RCB captain Rajat Patidar criticized his team's batting collapse versus DC. Though Tim David excelled briefly, it wasn't enough. KL Rahul's mastery of the pitch led DC to victory, highlighting the importance of adaptability in IPL.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Rajat Patidar was not amused with the way his batters threw away their wickets in a heap when thing were cruise control, saying this was "not acceptable" following a six-wicket home loss to the Delhi Capitals on Thursday.
Spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Vipraj Nigam bowled with purpose while KL Rahul struck an unbeaten 93 as the DC juggernaut continued to roll menacingly, inflicting a morale-shattering defeat on RCB with 13 balls to spare.
"We have not batted well. Batters are in a good frame of mind, they have shown nice intent. 60 for one, and then 90 for four, that is not acceptable," said Patidar post match.
RCB's Phil Salt had pummelled the DC bowlers in powerplay overs, guiding the home side to 61/1 in only the fourth over before they slumped to 91/4 after which they lost momentum to score a below-par 163/7.
"We thought it would be a nice batting track. We were lacking in assessing the conditions and the situation," said Patidar, adding that Tim David (37) did his bit by accelerating the run-scoring.
But it came too late in the day.
"The way David accelerated at the end, it was really amazing. The powerplay, the way the (RCB) fast bowlers bowled, it was really special (reducing DC to 30/3)," he added.
Player of the Match KL Rahul said watching the ball keenly behind the stumps helped him when he came in to bat.
"It was a slightly tricky wicket but what helped me was being behind the stumps for 20 overs, watching how the wicket played. The ball sat in the wicket but it was consistent throughout, it was one-paced.
"I knew what my shots are, wanted to get off to a good start, and then assess it accordingly. It depends on the conditions and the ground and the dimensions. On a wicket like this, I knew what my pockets were. If I wanted to hit a big six, I knew what pockets to target, and 'keeping gave me a feeler for where other batters were dismissed and where they hit the sixes," added Rahul.
Rahul added that having played a lot of cricket in his formative years at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium helped him immensely.
"This is my ground, my home, (I) know this (ground) better than anyone else. Something I have always done with my preparation is that I always try to adapt to different wickets (even in practice). I experiment in practice, get out a couple of times but it gives me a fair idea of the areas I can target &mdash; where I can take singles, where I can hit sixes." DC skipper Axar Patel said four wins in four matches had given the team a huge boost in morale.
"Everyone is playing with confidence, it feels nice (to have won four out of four). We talk about match-ups and what is happening off the surface. I felt they like to face pacers, so tried to hold them back.
"Then the ball was spinning and bouncing, so thought of bowling spin in the powerplay," he said.
He lauded Rahul's efforts saying the charismatic 'keeper-batter had played a mature innings.
"It becomes a very easy job for me. I have been in that situation, being used as a floater in pressure situations. It is not easy (changing positions). Having a player like him is a very good thing. I played a bad shot today to get out, but he played a mature innings and finished it off. He has been carrying his Champions Trophy form."

Discover CSK's strategic move as MS Dhoni resumes captaincy amid setbacks, aiming to revive their IPL campaign after Ruturaj Gaikwad's exit. The decision contrasts Mumbai Indians' leadership choices.

MS Dhoni Returns to CSK Captaincy in IPL

Chennai Super Kings bring back MS Dhoni as captain to turnaround their IPL fortunes following Ruturaj Gaikwad’s exit. This move highlights contrasting leadership strategies with Mumbai Indians.

Chennai Super Kings reappoint MS Dhoni as captain amid a tough IPL stint. Amid social media debate, CSK contrasts MI&rsquo;s strategic change by rallying behind Dhoni after Ruturaj Gaikwad&rsquo;s departure.

CSK have ushered in a fresh wave of optimism by reinstating MS Dhoni as captain, in a move that could potentially resurrect their faltering IPL campaign.
With a disappointing record of just one win in five matches, CSK find themselves languishing at the 9th position on the points table.
As fans speculate about the necessary changes to reverse the team's fortunes, the franchise was dealt a blow when skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad was sidelined for the remainder of the season. This development prompted the team's management to turn once again to the seasoned leadership of MS Dhoni.
The decision to bring Dhoni back as captain has inadvertently sparked debate, especially on social media, with the Mumbai Indians (MI) unexpectedly finding themselves at the center of this discourse. Despite being two of the IPL's most successful franchises, CSK and MI have adopted markedly different strategies in recent times.
Dhoni, even at 43, continues to be the guiding light for CSK, whereas MI appears to have moved beyond their former captain Rohit Sharma.
Currently, MI is led by Hardik Pandya, with Suryakumar Yadav serving as vice-captain.
Interestingly, the five-time champions have relegated Sharma to the role of an Impact Substitute this season, seemingly dismissing the vast leadership expertise he provides on the field.
This contrast in approach has not gone unnoticed by fans, who have been quick to highlight the differences after CSK's decision to reinstate Dhoni. Dhoni, a stalwart of CSK since the inaugural IPL season in 2008, led the team to five championship titles until he passed the baton to Gaikwad ahead of the 2024 season.
Now, with Gaikwad's unavailability, Dhoni returns to captaincy, aiming to steer the team back to winning ways.

Mumbai Indians clinched a four-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad with a sharp all-round performance led by Will Jacks, extending their IPL 2025 winning run at Wankhede.

IPL 2025: Mumbai Indians outplay Sunrisers Hyderabad for back-to-back wins

Mumbai Indians clinched a four-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad with a sharp all-round performance led by Will Jacks, extending their IPL 2025 winning run at Wankhede.

A sprightly Mumbai Indians continued their ascent in the Indian Premier League with a four-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in a one-sided contest on a tricky wicket in Mumbai on Thursday.
Led by Will Jacks who played a decisive role with a fine 36 (26 balls, 3x4s, 3x6s) after a crucial spell of 3-0-14-2, Mumbai Indians executed an all-round show to record their second consecutive win.
The home side came on top for having assessed the Wankhede Stadium pitch accurately and adapting quickly to the conditions it presented, with each of the pieces falling in place for the five-time winners.
MI&rsquo;s fast bowlers used the short and slower balls well throughout the first innings and nailed their yorkers perfectly. In the run chase, the MI batters showed a clear plan to keep finding the boundaries which kept them on top.
Chasing 163 on a pitch which had grip and turn, MI were also benefited by SRH&rsquo;s reluctance to bring on spin in the powerplay, as the home side made 166/6 in 18.1 overs to record their third win of the season.
Even though Rohit Sharma endured another failure after a promising start in which he made 26 off 16 balls with three sixes, he gave MI the momentum with the bat and the others capitalised on it.
Opener Ryan Rickelton made a fluent 31 while Suryakumar Yadav hammered two sixes and as many fours to make 26 (off 15 balls) to provide a strong support to Jacks.
Captain Hardik Pandya played a crucial cameo of 21 off just nine balls to take MI to the threshold of victory. Tilak Varma (21 not out) then took MI over the line after a late minor hiccup as the home side reached 166 for 6 in 18.1 overs.
In the first half, Sunrisers Hyderabad found late momentum with the bat to fight their way through and post 162 for 5.
With the surface at the Wankhede Stadium providing grip and turn for the spinners and slower deliveries giving dividends to the pace bowlers, Sunrisers Hyderabad batters struggled to adapt to the wicket for most part of the innings.
But a big finish -- 57 runs coming off the last five overs -- gave SRH some much-needed impetus towards the end.
MI bowlers were spot-on in formulating their plans and near-perfect in their execution with Jasprit Bumrah delivering a measly 4-0-21-1, Trent Boult nailing his yorkers again to return 4-0-29-1 and Will Jacks producing an impressive 3-0-14-2.
The SRH struggle was evident from the start even as Abhishek Sharma stroked his way to 40 off 28 balls with seven boundaries.
It all started with an eventful first over when the two SRH openers got a reprieve each off Deepak Chahar.
Abhishek went down the wicket, swinging his bat on the first delivery. The ball shaped away slightly to take the edge but Jacks failed to get hold of it.
On the fourth delivery, Travis Head played one straight to Karn Sharma at midwicket where he failed to pluck a low catch as the ball fell just short of him.
Abhishek looked to be hitting his strides when he smacked three fours off Chahar in the fifth over but there was just no momentum gained.
Raj Angad Bawa timed his dive to grab the ball to dismiss Abhishek off Pandya for the first breakthrough and by then it was evident that SRH would have to scrape their way through to a competitive total.
Jacks then had former MI player Ishan Kishan stumped for a mere two.
Head was unable to open up even as he tried his best to cut loose. Despite having caught off a no-ball with Pandya overstepping, Head failed to capitalise as he fell for an ordinary 29-ball 28.
Such was the impact of MI&rsquo;s control that the first six of the game came as late as in the 18th over -- the best one of SRH&rsquo;s innings &mdash; when Heinrich Klaasen (37 off 28 balls, 3x4s, 2x6s) took 21 runs to spoil Chahar&rsquo;s figures (4-0-47-0).
In the final over, Aniket Verma hit a couple of sixes and Pat Cummins smacked one to take vital 22 runs off Pandya.

Mitchell Starc's crucial bowling and Axar Patel's explosive performance help Delhi Capitals seal a dramatic Super Over win against Rajasthan Royals.

IPL 2025: Mitchell Starc's brilliance guides Delhi Capitals to Super Over victory over RR

Mitchell Starc's crucial bowling and Axar Patel's explosive performance help Delhi Capitals seal a dramatic Super Over win against Rajasthan Royals.

Mitchell Starc bowled couple of incredible overs under pressure as Delhi Capitals pulled off a heist by stealing a thrilling Super Over win from Rajasthan Royals in their IPL showdown on Wednesday.
The ice-cold Starc (1/36 in 4 overs) held his nerve during a tense final over to defend nine runs as DC forced the game into a Super Over when it seemed Royals have all but won it.
The Australian left-arm pacer then bowled a tremendous Super Over, conceding just two boundaries. He was backed by two razor-sharp run-outs as RR managed only 11 runs.
KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs then kept their nerves in check slamming a four and a six respectively to take the hosts to their first win at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Chasing 189, Yashasvi Jaiswal (51 off 37) and 'local lad' Nitish Rana (51 off 28) had the Royals cruising, but DC's bowlers turned the tide with a roaring late surge, eventually tying the game at 188/4.
The late drama followed a solid batting effort by DC, built on Abishek Porel&rsquo;s composed 49 and explosive cameos from skipper Axar Patel (34 off 14) and Tristan Stubbs (34 not out off 18), lifting them to a competitive 188/5 after being asked to bat.
Desperate for a win to reignite their campaign, Jaiswal came out all guns blazing as he clobbered two sixes off Mukesh Kumar before dismantling Mitchell Starc with two boundaries and a towering maximum, making his intent clear.
Sanju Samson joined the party even as Ashutosh Sharma spilled a regulation catch. The Royals' captain eventually retired hurt, after pulling his side.
With the chase humming along, Axar wicketless all season, broke the drought with a ripper that outfoxed Riyan Parag.
Jaiswal, however, looked invincible until Axar turned once more to his trusted match-winner Kuldeep Yadav (1/33 in 4 overs). The move worked. Delhi&rsquo;s standout wrist-spinner struck gold, removing the set Jaiswal.
But Rana was in no mood to let up. The southpaw batted with precision, sending anything in his arc to the fence with ease.
His calculated aggression and clean ball-striking kept Royals firmly on course. But once Rana was trapped led before by Starc the script changed.
Earlier, if Porel and KL Rahul (38) laid a solid foundation with a 63-run stand, Axar's blistering 13-ball 34, along with Tristan Stubbs&rsquo; (34 not out off 18 balls) late surge, provided the final flourish in an innings where momentum swung like a pendulum between the two sides.
Sandeep Sharma (0/33) bowled beautifully through his spell, took pace off his deliveries. However, he lost his rhythm in the final over, leaking four wides and a no-ball.
Delhi Capitals got off to a fiery start, with Jake Fraser-McGurk (9) cracking back-to-back boundaries off Jofra Archer (2/32) to set the tone.
Young Porel lit up the stadium early on, taking the second over by storm. He tore into Tushar Deshpande, smashing 23 runs, including four elegant boundaries.
But the highlight was a sublime flick over deep backward square for a maximum that had the crowd roaring.
However, DC's momentum faltered as Fraser-McGurk's lean patch persisted. The Australian lofted a simple catch to Yashasvi Jaiswal at mid-off in the fourth over, gifting Rajasthan Royals a breakthrough.
Run outs came back to haunt Delhi again as a mix-up between Porel and the in-form Karun Nair (0) resulted in the latter's dismissal, abruptly halting the Capitals' early charge.
The Royals' bowlers tightened the noose during the middle overs, drying up the boundaries and building persistent pressure.
Yet, Porel found a steady ally in seasoned Rahul. The veteran batter brought a sense of calm amid storm, easing the pressure with two towering sixes -- one launched down the ground off Deshpande in the 7th, and another elegantly lifted over long-off against Mahesh Theekshana in the 11th.
Just when the hosts looked like having rebuild their innings, Archer was brought back skipper Sanju Samson. And the English pacer struck gold, dismissing Rahul with back of length delivery that found Shimron Hetmyer at deep midwicket.
The West Indian held on to a low catch, inches above the ground, swinging the momentum back in Rajasthan&rsquo;s favour.
But DC skipper Axar, who hasn't had the best of tournaments exploded, smashing four boundaries and two maximums before Stubbs' clean strikes helped Delhi finish strong.

Australia defeated Sri Lanka by an innings and 242 runs in the first Test, with Matthew Kuhnemann taking career-best figures of 9-149. Sri Lanka’s batting collapse saw them lose their last five wickets for just nine runs, sealing the heavy defeat.

Australia crushes Sri Lanka by an innings and 242 runs in historic Test victory

Australia defeated Sri Lanka by an innings and 242 runs in the first Test, with Matthew Kuhnemann taking career-best figures of 9-149. Sri Lanka&rsquo;s batting collapse saw them lose their last five wickets for just nine runs, sealing the heavy defeat.

Sri Lanka suffered their heaviest defeat in Test cricket history on Saturday as Australia flexed their muscles to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series with a crushing victory by an innings and 242 runs.
The contest was wrapped up before tea on day four, with rookie left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann's match-winning spell delivering him career-best figures of 9-149 over both innings.
"We were put under pressure," Sri Lanka skipper Dhananjaya de Silva said afterwards. "The batters should have put up a better show."
Kuhnemann underwent surgery only two weeks ago on a broken right thumb sustained during the Big Bash League and battled through the match in pain, requiring constant medical attention.
He was well-supported by the ever-dependable Nathan Lyon, who spun a web around the Sri Lankan batters to finish with seven match wickets.
Sri Lanka's heaviest defeat before Saturday was in Nagpur in 2017, when India hammered them by an innings and 239.
Sri Lanka resumed on 136 for five overnight but their first innings folded for 165, losing their last five wickets for a mere nine runs.
Put straight back in to bat chasing 489, they lost three wickets before lunch and then capitulated in the second session -- a humiliating finish for a team once renowned for its prowess on turning tracks.
Dinesh Chandimal had waged a lonely battle in the first innings to top-score with 72 and, with Angelo Mathews, stitched together one of only two 50-plus partnerships in the second.
However, he was sent back for 31 on the last ball before lunch when he gloved Lyon to Travis Head at short leg.
Oshada Fernando failed to make an impact in his return to the side, undone by a sharp inswinger from Mitchell Starc that trapped him plumb in front for six to go with his first innings seven.
Former skipper Dimuth Karunaratne's horror run with the bat continued after an avoidable dismissal for nought by Todd Murphy.
 - 'Tough place to play' -
Rain forced an early lunch on day three before washing out the final two sessions.
Australia declared on 654-6 late on the second day after opener Usman Khawaja's career-best 232.
"Galle is a tough place to play cricket and we are very happy with this win," Khawaja said.
"I've played a lot of cricket in Sri Lanka, this being my fifth tour. I've made lot of mistakes before. I guess all that experience came in handy in this game."
Stand-in skipper Steve Smith also had a game to remember, becoming only the fourth Australian to breach the 10,000-run mark in Test cricket on the first ball he faced.
He finished his innings with a masterful 141, while wicketkeeper Josh Inglis hit a century on debut.
Galle will host the second and final match of the series next week before a two-match ODI series in Colombo.

Virat Kohli dismissed for six runs in Ranji Trophy return leaving fans disappointed

Virat Kohli's much-anticipated return to the Ranji Trophy ended early with a dismissal for just six runs. Himanshu Sangwan claimed the prized wicket as Kohli's brief stay at the crease left Delhi trailing Railways.

Virat Kohli's return to the Ranji Trophy was cut short as he was dismissed for just six runs on Friday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.&nbsp;
Kohli's brief innings was ended by Himanshu Sangwan, who claimed the prized wicket after Kohli had faced only 15 deliveries.
Kohli displayed a brief moment of brilliance, playing a beautiful straight drive off Sangwan, but the very next delivery proved his downfall.&nbsp;
The ball, angled in on a fullish length just outside off, seamed in sharply as Kohli attempted another drive but missed, leaving a gap between his bat and pad. The ball clipped the off-stump, sending the bails flying.
The dismissal was a significant moment for Sangwan, whose wicket of Kohli seemed to deflate the stadium, as thousands of fans who had gathered to witness a Kohli masterclass were left disappointed. Following Kohli's exit, Delhi was at 87/3, still trailing Railways by 140 runs.
However, there may still be a chance for redemption. If Delhi gets a second innings, Kohli will have another opportunity to shine.&nbsp;
On Day 1 of the match, the stadium was buzzing with excitement as fans turned out in large numbers to support their cricketing icon, whose recent performances have been below expectations.
Over 15,000 fans attended the match, with additional gates opened and increased security. In a dramatic turn, a fan managed to breach security, rushing onto the field to meet Kohli.&nbsp;
The fan touched Kohli&rsquo;s feet before being escorted off by security personnel. Kohli, displaying his characteristic calm, requested security to handle the fan gently and avoid any harsh treatment.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, Delhi's opening bowlers, Navdeep Saini and Siddhant Sharma, had put Railways in trouble at 21/3, showing promise for the remainder of the match.

Jasprit Bumrah named ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year 2024, wins Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy

Jasprit Bumrah has been awarded the prestigious ICC Men&rsquo;s Cricketer of the Year 2024 and the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy after an exceptional performance across formats.

Jasprit Bumrah has added another incredible achievement to his already impressive career, being named the ICC Men&rsquo;s Cricketer of the Year for 2024.&nbsp;
Following his win as the ICC Men&rsquo;s Test Cricketer of the Year, Bumrah also claimed the prestigious Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy, solidifying his status as one of the world&rsquo;s best fast bowlers.
Bumrah triumphed over fellow nominees Travis Head, Joe Root, and Harry Brook to secure the award, becoming the fifth Indian player to receive this recognition.&nbsp;
Previous Indian recipients include Rahul Dravid (2004), Sachin Tendulkar (2010), Ravichandran Ashwin (2016), and Virat Kohli (2017, 2018).
The ICC highlighted Bumrah&rsquo;s exceptional performances across formats in 2024, describing his year as a &ldquo;masterclass in skill, precision, and relentless consistency,&rdquo; with the fast bowler continuing to break records and establish himself as the world&rsquo;s premier pacer.
Bumrah had a stellar year in both T20Is and Tests. He played a pivotal role in India&rsquo;s triumph at the T20 World Cup 2024, finishing as the Player of the Tournament with 15 wickets at an extraordinary average of 8.26 and an economy rate of just 4.17.
In Tests, Bumrah took 71 wickets, outpacing England&rsquo;s Gus Atkinson, who claimed 52 wickets in 11 matches. Bumrah's average was a phenomenal 14.92, and his strike rate was just 30.1 for the year.&nbsp;
His 71 wickets made him only the fourth Indian bowler in history to take more than 70 Test wickets in a calendar year, joining the ranks of Ravichandran Ashwin, Anil Kumble, and Kapil Dev.
Bumrah&rsquo;s year began with a stellar performance in the Cape Town Test against South Africa, where he took eight wickets across two innings, helping India to victory. He then dominated England at home, claiming 19 wickets in four Tests as India won 1-4. H
owever, his finest performance came during the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) tour of Australia, where he bagged an incredible 32 wickets in five Tests and was named Player of the Series.
Bumrah&rsquo;s remarkable year saw him surpass the milestone of 200 Test wickets, becoming the 12th Indian bowler to achieve this feat. He also became the fastest Indian pacer to reach this mark, with a bowling average of less than 20, the best in history.
Bumrah&rsquo;s dominance was further reflected in his ICC Test Bowling Rankings, where he surpassed 900 rating points, ending the year with an unprecedented 907 points&mdash;setting a new record for the most points by any Indian bowler in history.

Rishabh Pant named Lucknow Super Giants captain for IPL 2025

Rishabh Pant, sold to Lucknow Super Giants for a record Rs 27 crores in the IPL 2025 auction, has been named captain of the franchise.&nbsp;

Rishabh Pant, the trailblazing wicketkeeper, has been appointed as the captain of the Lucknow Super Giants for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season, the franchise announced on Monday.
The 27-year-old, who made history during the IPL auction in November by being sold to Lucknow for Rs 27 crores ($3.2 million), joins the team for the upcoming edition of the lucrative T20 tournament.
Pant, known for his flamboyant left-handed batting, returned to captain Delhi Capitals last season after a 14-month hiatus from elite cricket due to a car accident. However, he parted ways with the Capitals after the team finished sixth in the 2024 IPL season standings.
"I see a born leader in Rishabh Pant. From my point of view, he will be probably the best captain IPL has seen," said Sanjiv Goenka, the owner of Lucknow, during a special TV broadcast. "Surely Rishabh Pant will play for at least 14-15 years for us, we hope at least five IPL titles in these years."
Pant has represented India in 150 international matches across all three formats, amassing 5,028 runs, including seven centuries.
The 18th edition of the IPL is set to commence on March 21, with the opening match scheduled to be held in Kolkata, while the final will take place on May 25, according to reports from Indian media.
The IPL continues to be a major revenue generator for Indian cricket, contributing more than $11 billion annually to the economy. It has also played a pivotal role in popularizing T20 cricket globally, inspiring similar events worldwide.

RCB alleges Uber Moto's ad disparages its trademark

RCB sues Uber Moto in Delhi HC for trademark disparagement via an ad featuring 'Royally Challenged Bengaluru'.

Indian Premier League cricket team Royal Challengers Bengaluru moved the Delhi High Court on Thursday and accused an YouTube advertisement of disparaging its trademark.
Justice Saurabh Banerjee, after hearing submissions of parties on Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) interim plea for injunction, reserved its order.
Royal Challengers Sports Private Limited filed a suit against Uber India Systems Pvt Ltd claiming that Uber Moto's YouTube advertisement titled "Baddies in Bengaluru ft. Travis Head" disparages its trademark.
RCB said Sunrisers Hyderabad's cricketer Head, the main character in the video, disparages its trademark.
Describing the video advertisement, RCB counsel said the cricketer could be seen running towards Bengaluru cricket stadium with an aim to vandalise the signage of "Bengaluru Vs Hyderabad", takes a spray paint and writes "Royally Challenged" before Bengaluru making it "Royally Challenged Bengaluru" which disparages RCB's mark.
The lawyer contended that when a negative comment is made, there is disparagement and added that Uber Moto, being the commercial sponsor of Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL team, while promoting its product which is booking a ride, used RCB's trademark in the course of its trade, that too its "deceptive variant", which was impermissible under law.
The counsel representing Uber said RCB had "severely discounted" the sense of humour of the public at large. The general messaging of the advertisement, the counsel said, was that there was a match between RCB and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Bengaluru cricket stadium on May 13 and since it was a city with traffic jam, "public must use uber moto".
Uber's counsel said good humour, sense of fun and banter are intrinsic to advertising messaging and these factors "will be killed" if such a standard, as mooted by RCB, is applied.
The advertisement garnered 1.3 million views and a number of comments from users on the social media platform.
