In numbers - IPL 2025 gets off to turbo-charged start

If the first five games of the ongoing season are an indicator, IPL 2025 will break records for big totals, sixes and fours count, and expensive overs

All-intent Kohli shows off 'leadership in his own role'

"The way he made [bowling] changes, it's a think-out-of-the-box kind of a thought process, he looked good," Piyush Chawla says of Rajat Patidar's IPL captaincy debut

Rahane points to rush of middle-overs wickets as 'the momentum-changer'

KKR's new captain backs the inexperienced fast-bowling trio of Harshit Rana, Spencer Johnson and Vaibhav Arora despite combined returns of 8.2-0-105-1

Hazlewood: 'This is probably the freshest I've been in a long time'

The RCB seamer bowled a stifling spell in his side's thumping win over KKR

Krunal the survivor gives RCB exactly what they asked for

The RCB left-arm spinner keeps the percentages in his favour even on some of the high-scoring venues, a glimpse of which was seen on the opening night of IPL 2025
