Kagiso Rabada interview: ‘You might as well call our sport Batting and not Cricket, if there isn’t a balance between bat and ball’

There has been a lot of chatter around the first 300 total being achieved in this year’s IPL, and most of it is due to the way Sunrisers Hyderabad have been going about their business. On Sunday, in their first match of the season, SRH appeared to have it within their sights, needing 44 runs off the last 2 overs – a very doable scenario with Heinrich Klaasen and Ishan Kishan in the middle. The batting approach from Pat Cummins’ side in the last two years of IPL has been so explosive that when SRH finished on 286/6 – their & IPL’s 2nd highest total – it felt a few short. So what do the bowlers think of such scenarios? South African speedster Kagiso Rabada, who has joined Gujarat Titans ahead of IPL 2025, spoke to The Indian Express about the importance of maintaining a balance between b...

Mayank, Akash and Avesh recovering well, says Langer; Axar non-comittal on Rahul’s availability

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) head coach Justin Langer on Sunday said that its injured pace trio - Mayank Yadav, Akash Deep, and Avesh Khan - have been recovering well and are expected to join the team soon.“Unfortunately, I think Mohsin (Khan) sustained a small calf injury in his rehab (from his knee injury). So, knowing that we had four guys out, we had to make that tough call on Mohsin (ruled out for the season, replaced by Shardul Thakur). We think Avesh Khan (knee injury) will pass his right to play tomorrow morning through the NCA. So, if that’s the case, then he’ll be back sooner rather than later. Akash Deep (back injury) is up and running, and bowling at about 90 per cent now. I believe he’s done his Yo-Yo test. So, he’s really ticking off all the boxes.“And then, Mayank, who everyon...

Eye on local, assembly polls & ‘new Kerala’ aspiration, BJP names Rajeev Chandrasekhar new state chief

Thiruvananthapuram: With two crucial elections around the corner—the 2025 local body polls and 2026 assembly elections—Rajeev Chandrasekhar’s appointment as the new chief of Bharatiya Janata Party’s Kerala unit reflects the party’s growing aspirations in the state. Following his 2024 Lok Sabha performance, Chandrasekhar is set to replace K. Surendran, the party head in Kerala since 2020.

Though he lost to United Democratic Front’s Shashi Tharoor by 16,077 votes, he pushed the Left Democratic Front’s Pannyan Raveendran t...
