From RCB camp: How mentor Dinesh Karthik helped Jitesh Sharma clear his mind

The Royal Challengers Bangalore wicket-keeper Jitesh Sharma has credited team mentor Dinesh Karthik for handholding him and helping him clear his muddled mind. “I think last year’s performance was a mental thing. I’ve told everyone about that, because I was not mentally in the game at that moment. I was thinking too much about the future. But now, when I met Dinesh bhai, he told me that it’s a human error, it’s not rocket science. It can happen to anyone. So it’s fine,” said Jitesh, whose unbeaten 40 from 19 balls went a long way in RCB beating MI. He went on to add, “When he saw how I try to dominate, how I look forward to all the games—he realised I’m someone who always looks to win. I don’t have a craze to get runs, I have a craze to win the match. I like that a lot. So he found out tha...

MI vs RCB: Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar pile up a run mountain, Krunal Pandya wins battle of brothers

Hardik Pandya threatened a grand heist with a sensational 15-ball 42 but RCB prevailed in a thriller, winning by 12 runs. Virat Kohli sizzled with a classy fifty, Rajat Patidar sparkled with a spunky half ton as RCB piled 221 and managed to get past Hardik and Tilak Varma to register a special win.RCB had lost their last six games at the Wankhede stadium but they breached the fortress with a scintillating batting display and by holding their nerves in the chase. Kohli turned on the run tap with an innings of quality, repeatedly taking on the bowlers before Patidar gave them a dream finish. The leggie Suyash Sharma held Mumbai back in the middle overs but Hardik and Tilak nearly seized the night until Josh Hazlewood and Krunal Pandya intervened to stop them at 209/9. Finally, a proper rolle...

IPL 2025: RCB end 17-year wait to win in Chennai, thrash CSK by 50 runs

IPL 2025, CSK vs RCB SYNOPSIS: Having returned empty-handed from Chepauk since 2008, Royal Challengers Bengaluru put up a clinical show to decimate Chennai Super Kings. One year ago, at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, they dumped CSK out of the play-offs while reigniting a lopsided rivalry. On Friday, at MA Chidambaram Stadium, they tasted success against their Southern rivals for the first time since 2008. While the head-to-head read 22-11 in favour of CSK before this game, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium it was 8-1 in favour of the five-time champions. On Friday, RCB would finally put an end to that winless streak, and they did it in some style too. To silence Chepauk is one thing, but to walk out of the stadium with chants of “RCB, RCB” hanging in the air shows the dominant performance they p...

‘Rohit Sharma’s Powerplay aggression is possible because he knows Virat Kohli can fix his mistakes’: Aaron Finch

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been the cornerstones of India’s ODI batting for well over a decade. However, the change in approach that the current India captain and opener has embraced in the format has done wonders for India, who have won all but one match across three ICC limited-overs events in the 2023 ODI World Cup, last year’s T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai earlier this month. Former Australia captain Aaron Finch, however, believes that Rohit’s unfiltered aggression at the top is close to impossible without the cushion that Kohli offers at his favoured No. 3 spot in ODIs. Finch remarked that Rohit’s batting is fraught with numerous risks in the Powerplay and that the 37-year-old continues to hold onto the method knowing that Kohli has got his back. “When yo...

Virat Kohli discusses retirement, recalls conversation with Rahul Dravid on ‘finding the right time’

India’s superstar batter Virat Kohli on Saturday gave a sneak peek into his future plans and retirement talk as he candidly admitted that another tour to Australia might not be left in the tank for the 36-year-old. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 series did not end on a high for Kohli as India conceded the series and his own form progressively worsened on tour. Despite scoring a century in the opening Test, Kohli finished with only 190 runs at sub-24 average. Recalling his recent struggles in Australia during the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Innovation Lab in Bengaluru, Kohli said: “I might not have another Australia tour in me, so I am at peace with whatever happened in the past.” Story continues below this ad Kohli immediately clarified his statement and added ...
