<h2>DC vs PBKS Match Summary</h2>
After being put into bat, Punjab Kings adopted an aggressive approach from the outset. Despite losing Priyansh Arya early, Prabhsimran Singh and Shreyas Iyer kept the scoreboard ticking, taking PBKS to 60 for 2 by the end of the powerplay.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the strong 18-member squad for the Test series against England. The two teams will be locking horns with each other in the five-match series, starting from the 20th July at the Headingley in Leeds. 
One of the highlights of the squad was pacer Mohammed Shami wasn't named in the team for the series. This raised many eyebrows as the fast bowler has been one of the best pacers for India and his absence surely will leave a massive void in the team for the series. 
Mohammed Shami, who made a comeback to the Indian team after a long injury in the England series, has been struggling with his fitness since then. The fast bowler hasn't been able to pick wickets in the IPL, and that has been the reason behind his omission from the team. 
<h2>Mohammed Shami has been ruled out of the series due to the injury</h2>
Chairman of chief selectors Ajit Agarkar talked and opened up about why Mohammed Shami wasn't named in the team. He revealed that "fast bowler has been ruled out of the series due to the injury that he faced last week".
Mohammed Shami has been a match-winner for India in the Tests. He played a crucial role for the team during the last England tour. His last Test appearance was during the final of the ICC World Test Championship against Australia in 2023. 
Coming to the Indian squad for the Test series against England, Shubman Gill has been appointed as the new Test skipper for the team with Rishabh Pant being his deputy. Karun Nair, Sai Sudharsan, Shardul Thakur and Arshdeep Singh have been added to the team. 
Along with Mohammed Shami, Sarfaraz Khan has been dropped from the team as well. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep and Prasidh Krishna are the pacers. While Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur and Nitish Kumar Reddy are the all-rounders in the team.

In a crucial IPL 2025 clash held on May 24 at Lucknow, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) stunned Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) with a commanding 42-run victory. This result not only dented RCB’s momentum heading into the playoffs but also caused a shift in the top four rankings due to changes in Net Run Rate (NRR).
Put into bat first, SRH made the most of a batting-friendly surface. Ishan Kishan roared back to form with a match-defining unbeaten 94 off 48 deliveries. Abhishek Sharma’s quickfire 34, Klaasen’s fluent 24, and Aniket Verma’s blistering 26 off just 9 balls added to the carnage.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202505/image_430x256_6830b621b5860.jpg" alt="">
Despite a brief RCB fightback led by Romario Shepherd, SRH posted a massive 231/5 — one of the highest totals this season. In response, RCB started strong with Kohli and Salt attacking early, and Jitesh Sharma kept the chase alive in the middle overs.
But the turning point came in the 15th over, when Nitish Kumar Reddy and Eshan Malinga orchestrated a dramatic collapse. RCB crumbled from a dominant position, losing seven wickets for just 16 runs and were bowled out far short of the target.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202505/image_430x256_6830bacf197b0.jpg" alt="">
The aftermath of this defeat saw significant movement in the points table. While both RCB and Punjab Kings remain tied at 17 points, RCB's Net Run Rate suffered, pushing them below Punjab.
Gujarat Titans stayed on top with 18 points and a healthy NRR, while Mumbai Indians remained fourth despite having a better NRR than both RCB and Punjab. SRH, already out of playoff contention, moved up to eighth place with 11 points, leapfrogging the Rajasthan Royals.

In a high-octane clash at Lucknow, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by 42 runs in IPL 2025. Batting first after losing the toss, SRH posted a commanding total, thanks to a brilliant unbeaten 94 from Ishan Kishan.

<h2>RCB vs SRH Match Summary</h2>
SRH Innings: After losing the toss, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) were asked to bat first and turned the pressure into power on a batting-friendly Lucknow pitch. Abhishek Sharma blasted 34 off 17, while Travis Head gave solid support. Klaasen’s smooth 24 and Aniket Verma’s explosive 26 off just 9 balls kept the scoreboard ticking at high speed. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202505/image_430x256_6830b621b5860.jpg" alt="">
Though RCB pulled things back briefly with a couple of wickets and tight overs from Romario Shepherd, Ishan Kishan stole the show. Under fire for poor form, he answered in style with a masterful 94* off 48, anchoring the innings calmly while others played high-risk shots. His late blitz, along with Cummins, lifted SRH to a massive 231 — a total fitting the most high-scoring IPL season yet.
Chasing a daunting 232, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) began with a bang as Kohli and Salt lit up the powerplay, and Jitesh Sharma added momentum in the middle overs. At 14 overs in, they looked well on course. But the tide turned dramatically in the 15th over when part-timer Nitish Kumar Reddy bowled a tight spell, followed by a game-changing over from Eshan Malinga.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202505/image_430x256_6830b69c75268.jpg" alt="">
After being expensive early on, Malinga returned with fire, executing perfect yorkers, finding reverse swing, and triggering a collapse by running out Patidar and dismissing Shepherd for a golden duck. What followed was a complete breakdown, with RCB losing their last seven wickets for just 16 runs. 
From being in the hunt to suffering a 42-run defeat, RCB’s collapse was sudden and severe, hurting not just this match but possibly their entire campaign as their net run rate dipped below Punjab Kings.

Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill was at his furious best during the game against Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The match between the two teams took place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday. 
Shubman Gill's Gujarat Titans, who are at the top of the table, were put to a test during the game against Lucknow Super Giants, especially with the ball. The bowling lineup came under massive pressure, especially at a time when Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran were batting. 
The frustration was visible on the face of Shubman Gill as he almost took down Nicholas Pooran with a brutal throw. The incident happened during the 13th over of the first innings when Prasidh Krishna was bowling to Nicholas Pooran and the batter played a push straight down for a single. 
However, Shubman Gill, who was stationed there picked the ball and threw it towards the wicketkeeper, Jos Buttler. Nicholas Pooran, who was there managed to escape by the whisker as he defended his head with his hand.

Here's the video:

Asked to bat, Lucknow Super Giants had another dream start to their innings as the opening pair of Mitchell Marsh (117) and Aiden Markram (36) continued their golden form. They added 91 runs for the first wicket, and after that, it was Nicholas Pooran (56*), who slammed a brutal fifty and batted till the end. 
Marsh, at the other end, registered a magnificent century as he, along with Pooran, added 121 runs for the second wicket to put Gujarat bowlers under massive pressure. Skipper Rishabh Pant (16*), in the end, finished the innings on high as LSG posted a massive total of 235 for two. 
Chasing the target, Gujarat Titans had a decent start to their innings as Shubman Gill (35) and Sai Sudharsan (21) added 46 runs for the opening partnership. Jos Buttler (33), at three, played a vital hand, too, but after his wicket, Gujarat's middle order came to a test as the top three got out under 100 for the first time in the tournament. 
However, Shahrukh Khan (57) and Sherfane Rutherford (38) aced that challenge brilliantly as they stitched 86 runs for the fourth wicket to put LSG under pressure. However, William ORourke (3/27) changed the game in his team's favour with two wickets in one over. 
After that, LSG kept taking wickets at regular intervals and restricted Gujarat to 202 for nine to win the game by 33 runs.

Former Cricketer and head coach of the Indian Cricket Team Sanjay Bangar reflected on Gujarat Titans' (GT) defeat versus the Rishabh Pant-led Lucknow Super Giants and made a massive claim that this loss could possibily push Shubman Gill &amp; his men to the 3rd or even the 4th position in the overall standfings, highlighting that the 2022 winners must win their final league stage match versus CSK at all costs and hope that other competing teams drop points in-order to finish in the top 2.

The Gujarat bowling unit had a tough outing as Lucknow posted a mammoth score of 235-2 in 20 overs. In response, hard hitting batsman Shahrukh Khan slammed daazzling half century (57 runs in 29 deliveries), along with contributions from skipper Shubman Gill (35 runs), Sherfane Rutherford (38 runs) and wicketkeeper batter Jos Buttler (33 runs), which allowed their side to stay alive in the chase, however, it didn't prove to be enough as the 2022 winners fell short in the end by a margin of thirty-three runs.
Despite the loss, Gujarat are still sitting at the top of the table with eighteen points to their name in 13 contests. But there high chances of them getting dropped to either the 3rd or the 4th spot as Punjab &amp; RCB are scheduled to play two more games and they are ranked third &amp; second, respectively, with seventeen points each to their name. The Titans, however, have just one match left to play in the league stage.
"After conceding 235 runs, the game became slightly out of reach for GT. However, the middle order – particularly Shahrukh and Sherfane Rutherford – brought them closer to the target. With 24 balls remaining and 54 runs required, along with 7 wickets in hand, the batting side would typically be favored these days. They will feel let down for not closing it out more convincingly. Now, they need to win the final match and rely on two other teams to drop points. This defeat could see them drop to third or even fourth position on the table," Sanjay Bangar stated on JioHotstar.
JioStar analyst Aakash Chopra also pointed out the challenge facing GT’s batting lineup as they approach the 2025 IPL play-offs, stating, "With Jos Buttler set to depart after the conclusion of the league stage, Kusal Mendis will take his place at No. 3. This adds further strain on Rutherford and Shahrukh. They performed well today, keeping GT competitive, but the larger concern is – what was the caliber of bowling they faced? In the play-offs, that level will be raised.
"Rahul Tewatia has not been impactful with the bat this season. And for the second consecutive match, GT’s top three did not surpass 50 runs – a trend that hadn't occurred all season. It’s concerning to see the top order losing momentum at such a critical juncture."
 Chopra further discussed how the top two spots may shuffle with the results of the remaining league fixtures.
"A shift is on the horizon. In the match between RCB and PBKS, I anticipate that one of them will lose. The clash between MI and PBKS is also vital. Don't overlook SRH – they managed to defeat LSG and possess game-changers. A single significant performance, similar to Marsh’s today, can alter the situation. I wouldn't be astonished if the top four looks entirely different."
Bangar stated, "I don’t envision RCB dropping out of the top two. However, the second position remains quite competitive – Punjab Kings can definitely seize it."
It was the masterclass of Mitch Marsh that helped the Super Giants secure a clinical win over the Gujarat-based side. He smacked his maiden hundred in the cash-rich t20 league (117 runs in 56 deliveries) which allowed his side to post a huge score of 235 runs on the board.
Aakash Chopra commended Marsh’s comeback this IPL, stating, “He was acquired at a low price in the mega auction – an absolute bargain – and that sometimes motivates a player. In the past, he had a hefty price tag with minimal output. This season, he’s approached the game differently. The pitch of Lucknow's Ekana Stadium is favorable for him – the ball comes onto the bat well. And those sixes? When he connects, they really clear the boundary. His shot selection has also improved significantly. He’s demonstrating true class."

Gujarat Titans' 33-run loss to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) could drop them to third or fourth in the standings, according to Sanjay Bangar. Despite strong knocks from Shahrukh Khan (57) and Sherfane Rutherford (38), GT failed to chase LSG's 235-2, powered by Mitch Marsh’s maiden IPL ton (117*). Bangar stressed that GT must win their final match against CSK and rely on other results to secure a top-two finish. Aakash Chopra raised concerns over GT’s batting form, especially with Jos Buttler’s exit, and noted the tight playoff race involving RCB, Punjab Kings, and SRH. Marsh’s match-winning innings was hailed as a sign of his resurgence this season.

Former Indian cricketer and coach Sanjay Bangar analyzed Gujarat Titans' (GT) 33-run loss to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), suggesting it could push GT to third or fourth in the standings. Despite a strong chase led by Shahrukh Khan (57), Sherfane Rutherford (38), and skipper Shubman Gill (35), GT fell short of LSG's massive 235-2, built on Mitch Marsh’s maiden IPL century (117*). Bangar emphasized that GT must win their final league match against CSK and hope other teams like RCB and Punjab Kings (both with 17 points) lose to secure a top-two finish. JioCinema analyst Aakash Chopra highlighted concerns over GT’s batting form, especially with Jos Buttler’s impending departure and the top order’s recent struggles. Chopra also noted the competitive race for playoff spots, with RCB likely retaining a top-two position but Punjab Kings and SRH still in contention. Marsh’s explosive performance was praised as a turning point for LSG, showcasing his improved form and shot selection this season.

However, one of them will be making it into the XI and will be taking over the number three spot. Both have slammed truckloads of runs in the format for their state teams. 
The reports added that head coach Gautam Gambhir has indicated to KL Rahul that he needs to open the innings. Hence, the right-hander will be there at the top alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has been successful as an opener in the longest format of the game. 
Sarfaraz Khan, who has been training hard in the off-season, is all set to be included in the team. While Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel are two keeper-batters in the team. Along with them, Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja will be two spin-bowling all-rounders and Nitish Kumar Reddy and Shardul Thakur will be there too. 
The reports added that Mohammed Shami will be dropped and the Indian pace battery will feature Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep and Harshit Rana. Kuldeep Yadav will be the lone specialist spinner.

The India National Cricket Team is all set to lock horns with the England National Cricket Team in the five-match Test series. The series between the teams will begin on 20th July at the Headingley in Leeds and will also mark the new edition of the ICC World Test Championship. 
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will be announcing the squad for the five-match Test series. The selectors reportedly will be meeting on Saturday (23rd May), and they will also be naming the new Test captain of the team following the retirement of Rohit Sharma. 
With the excitement for the squad is taking its toll on fans, it is learned that, as per the reports in Indian Express, BCCI is keen to add either Arshdeep Singh or Anshul Kamboj into the team for the five-match Test series. One of the two is likely to replace Mohammed Shami, who will be dropped due to his fitness. 
Arshdeep Singh is expected to get the nod ahead because of his experience in the English conditions. The left-arm pacer played County cricket for Kent last year and was successful as his ability to swing the ball was handy for his team, especially in English conditions.

Arshdeep Singh has been a regular member of the Indian team in the white-ball cricket. The left-arm pacer made the headlines for his brilliant ability to swing the ball and also his death bowling skills put him above many players in the pecking order. 
On the other hand, Anshul Kamboj has a great record in the First Class cricket. The fast bowler has taken 74 wickets from 22 games. He also has been doing a great job for Chennai Super Kings in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, picking wickets in the powerplay. 
It is also learned that Shubman Gill will be taking over the leadership of the team in the format. He also had a meeting with Indian team coach Gautam Gambhir and chairman of selection committee Ajit Agarkar.

India National Cricket Team pacer Mohammed Shami is unlikely to be part of the five-match Test series against England National Cricket Team. As per the reports in Indian Express, it is learned that the pacer is all set to be dropped from the team for fitness issues. 
As per the reports, it is learned that the BCCI medical team has told the selectors that Mohammed Shami won't be able to bowl longer spells in the England series. The Test series between the teams is all set to take from 20th June at the Headingley in Leeds. 
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is all set to announce the squad for the Test series against England this week. The reports claimed that there were discussions about Mohammed Shami being taken to England for a few games, but with Jasprit Bumrah not expected to play more than three games, selectors came under dilemma. 
They believe that it makes no sense to take half-fit Mohammed Shami, who might only play a few games. The reports claimed that selectors want fit bowlers flying with the Indian side, who can bowl longer spells if needed. 
<h2>Board and selectors don’t know whether he can bowl more than 10 overs in a day - BCCI source on Mohammed Shami</h2>
The source close to the developments claimed that Mohammed Shami has been struggling with fitness in the IPL, where he bowls just 4 overs. Hence, selectors aren't sure if he can bowl more than 10 overs in a day. Speaking to Indian Express, he said:
"Shami is bowling four overs in IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad but the board and selectors don’t know whether he can bowl more than 10 overs in a day. Test matches in England may demand longer spells from the pacers and we can’t take chances,” 
Mohammed Shami last played for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. However, in that tournament too, he struggled. His last Test appearance was during the final of the ICC World Test Championship against Australia in 2023. If he won't be part of the England series, it will be massive development and a big blow for India.
