The Indian Premier League, India’s cricket festival, is currently in full swing. The 10-team tournament will feature 74 games and is currently in the middle of the league stage.

Team Analysis

GT Analysis

The Gujarat Titans, who lost in the recent match, are all set to come back to their home ground to get a redemption.

That is why they are being pushed to show off their incredible batting power and their fine bowling discipline to impress their devoted home fans and get back on track in front of a livid crowd.

DC Analysis

With belief well and truly oozing, Delhi Capitals have enjoyed a brand of fearless cricket and envious finishes in the recent matches.

Their lineup seems strong and stable, and they look strong favourites to continue their current winning run into this eagerly anticipated affair.

GT vs DC Pitch Report

The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, especially during afternoon fixtures, offers a dry and hard surface that stays true throughout the innings.

Batters enjoy playing on this wicket as the even bounce allows them to trust their strokes.

Early in the match, pacers might extract a touch of seam movement, but the absence of dew in daylight matches makes defending totals more manageable.

Spinners can also come into play as the pitch slows slightly in the later stages.

With an average first-innings score of 197, teams usually aim to post solid totals to stay ahead in afternoon contests here.

GT vs DC Weather Report

We expect clear skies over Ahmedabad, as well as a warm and humid evening. The match will experience a temperature of approximately 34°C under clear skies, with winds flowing at 12–14 km/hr.

Players To Watch Out For

Virat Kohli (RCB)


Virat Kohli is the leading run-getter in IPL history and the only batter in the 8K Club in the tournament. He is the leading run-getter for RCB this season with 248 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 143.3. Kohli has hit three fifties so far with his highest impact performance coming against Royals when he registered an unbeaten 62 off 45 balls to take his side to a thumping nine-wicket win in Jaipur. Kohli has significantly improved his play against spin and has scored 135 runs off just 95 balls against the slower bowlers at a scoring rate of 142.1 this season.


Rajat Patidar (RCB)


Rajat Patidar has led from the front and hammered 186 runs in five innings at a strike rate of 161.7. Patidar is the enforcer in the middle order and has a scoring rate of 175.4 in the middle overs (7-16) since IPL 2023. He is a brilliant player of spin and has a strike rate of 174 against the slower bowlers in the IPL.




Priyansh Arya (PBKS)
Priyansh Arya has taken IPL 2025 by storm, smashing the fourth-fastest hundred in IPL history – 103 off 42 deliveries against Chennai Super Kings. He is a ferocious hitter at the top of the order and has a strike rate of 217.6 in the powerplay this season. Arya has a scoring rate of 177.7 in all T20 cricket.




Shreyas Iyer (PBKS)
Shreyas Iyer has led Punjab Kings from the front and scored 250 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 204.9 this season. He has been magnificent against spin, scoring at a rate of 195.9 against the slower bowlers. However, where Iyer has shown remarkable improvement is in his game against the faster bowlers – he has clobbered 154 runs off just 73 balls against pace at a sensational strike rate of 211 in this edition.

asprit Bumrah – The Unorthodox Maestro of Indian Cricket


About Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah , born on December 6, 1993 , in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, is arguably the most skilled fast bowler India has ever produced. Known for his unorthodox action, late release, and pinpoint accuracy, Bumrah has redefined fast bowling across formats. From being a yorker specialist to mastering swing, seam, and reverse swing, he operates on a different plane, making him indispensable for India.


Domestic Cricket – The Foundation of Greatness

  • Early Career:
    Bumrah’s journey began with Gujarat in domestic cricket. He excelled in the Ranji Trophy and topped the bowling charts in the Vijay Hazare Trophy (2015–16) , showcasing his ability to dominate with pace and precision.
  • Breakthrough Performance:
    His consistent performances in domestic white-ball tournaments caught the attention of IPL scouts, leading to his inclusion in the Mumbai Indians squad ahead of IPL 2013.

Bumrah’s adaptability and knack for delivering under pressure laid the groundwork for his meteoric rise in international cricket.


Indian Premier League (IPL) – Mumbai Indians’ Bowling Backbone

  • Debut and Growth:
    • Spotted by Mumbai Indians after just one season of domestic T20 cricket, Bumrah was signed as an uncapped player ahead of IPL 2013.
    • Played sparingly in his debut season but quickly became a key figure in MI’s success.
  • Five-Time Champions:
    • Bumrah has been instrumental in Mumbai Indians’ five IPL titles (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020 ).
    • Took 20 wickets in 2017 , 19 in 2019 , and a staggering 27 wickets in 2020 , emerging as the team’s highest wicket-taker in three title-winning seasons.
  • Milestone Achievements:
    • First IPL wicket: Virat Kohli (2013).
    • 100th IPL wicket: Virat Kohli (2020).
    • Second-highest wicket-taker for MI after Lasith Malinga.

Bumrah’s lethal yorkers, variations, and death-bowling mastery make him one of the most feared bowlers in the IPL.


International Cricket – Redefining Fast Bowling

  • White-Ball Debut (2016):
    • Made his international debut during India’s tour of Australia, finishing as the highest wicket-taker in the T20I series (India won 3-0).
    • Quickly established himself as a mainstay in India’s ODI and T20I setups.
  • Test Debut (2018):
    • Debuted in South Africa, taking a five-wicket haul in Johannesburg in his third Test, helping India pull the series back to 2-1.
    • Followed it up with 14 wickets in England and a historic performance in Australia, where his 6/33 and 3/53 in Melbourne played a pivotal role in India’s first-ever Test series win Down Under.
  • Record-Breaking Feats:
    • Became the first bowler in Test history to take 200 wickets at an average of under 20 within seven years of his debut.
    • In the 2024 Test series against Australia, took 32 wickets at 13.06 , nearly dragging India to victory despite injuries.
    • MVP of India’s T20 World Cup-winning campaign in 2024 , taking nine wickets in the Visakhapatnam Test against England (19 wickets overall in the series).

Bumrah’s ability to dominate across formats—be it swinging the new ball, reversing the old ball, or delivering pinpoint yorkers—makes him a generational talent.


Personal Life – Humility Beyond Success

Off the field, Jasprit Bumrah is known for his humility and grounded nature. Despite his global fame, he remains deeply connected to his roots and family. Married to Sanjana Ganesan , a former sports journalist, Bumrah balances his professional commitments with personal life seamlessly. His journey from a young boy with an unconventional action to becoming India’s pace spearhead serves as an inspiration to aspiring cricketers worldwide.


Playing Style – The Art of Precision and Variation

  • Unorthodox Action:
    Bumrah’s unique action, with a low-arm release and high pace (140–145 kph), makes it difficult for batters to pick his deliveries.
  • Variations Galore:
    Masters of the yorker , bumper , slower balls , and reverse swing , he can dismantle batting lineups in any format.
  • Death-Bowling Specialist:
    Renowned for his ability to deliver under pressure, Bumrah is lethal in the death overs, often sealing matches with his precision.

Legacy and Impact

Jasprit Bumrah is not just a fast bowler; he is a revolutionary force who has transformed India’s bowling attack.

  • Records and Achievements:
    • First Indian bowler to take five-wicket hauls in South Africa, England, Australia, and West Indies .
    • Key architect of India’s dominance in Test cricket, particularly overseas.
    • Five-time IPL champion with Mumbai Indians.

Despite battling injuries, Bumrah continues to defy odds and push boundaries, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest fast bowlers in cricket history.


Why Bumrah Stands Out

Jasprit Bumrah is a once-in-a-generation talent whose unorthodox style and relentless consistency have redefined fast bowling. Whether it’s dismantling top-order batters with swing or choking oppositions with lethal yorkers, Bumrah operates on a level few can match. His journey from Gujarat’s domestic circuit to becoming India’s pace spearhead is a testament to his skill, determination, and resilience.

Deepak Chahar

Rejection at 16, prodigy at 18 and oblivion at 24. It has been the story of Deepak Chahar so far. Back in 2008, when Greg Chappell was the director of the Rajasthan Cricket Academy, he had snubbed Deepak’s abilities as a young fast bowler.

Deepak Chahar – The Resilient Pace Bowler


Early Life and Career Beginnings

Born on August 7, 1992 , in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, Deepak Chahar’s journey to cricketing recognition was far from smooth. At 16, he faced a major setback when Greg Chappell , then director of the Rajasthan Cricket Academy, rejected him outright, questioning his potential as a fast bowler. However, this rejection only fueled his determination.

Two years later, at 18, Chahar stormed into the spotlight by taking 8 wickets in an innings against Hyderabad, routing them for 21 runs , the lowest total in Indian domestic cricket history. This performance marked him as a prodigious talent, but injuries and inconsistency would soon cast shadows over his career.


Domestic Cricket – A Promising Yet Plagued Journey

  • First-Class Debut (2010):
    Chahar made his first-class debut for Rajasthan in 2010, showcasing his ability to swing the new ball and trouble top-order batters.
  • Six Years of Domestic Cricket:
    In 35 first-class matches, he claimed 105 wickets at an average of 35.17 , displaying glimpses of brilliance but struggling with consistency due to recurring injuries.
  • Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (2018):
    Delivered a breakthrough performance in the T20 domestic tournament, taking crucial wickets and earning recognition. His success here paved the way for his IPL resurgence with Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

While his domestic numbers were modest, his performances in white-ball formats highlighted his potential as a lethal swing bowler.


Indian Premier League (IPL) – A Star New-Ball Specialist

The IPL became the platform where Chahar truly established himself as one of India’s premier white-ball pacers.

  • Rajasthan Royals (2011–2015):
    Despite being part of the squad, injuries kept him sidelined for significant periods, limiting his impact.
  • Rising Pune Supergiants (2016–2017):
    Showcased flashes of brilliance but struggled with consistency, finishing with modest returns.
  • Chennai Super Kings (2018–2023):
    • Became CSK’s new-ball spearhead , delivering match-winning performances.
    • Played a pivotal role in CSK’s title wins in 2018 and 2021 , consistently providing early breakthroughs.
    • In 2022, a back injury forced him to withdraw mid-season, and despite returning in 2023, he couldn’t replicate his earlier dominance.
    • Released ahead of the 2025 mega auction , he was snapped up by Mumbai Indians for IPL 2025.

Chahar’s ability to swing the new ball, combined with his knack for delivering under pressure, made him a prized asset in the IPL.


International Cricket – From Breakthrough to Injury Woes

  • India A Call-Up (2018):
    Selected for the Tri-series involving Windies A and England Lions, Chahar emerged as the leading wicket-taker with 10 scalps , cementing his place in the national setup.
  • T20I Debut (2018):
    Made his debut against England, though his initial outings were forgettable (1/44 in 4 overs).
  • Asia Cup and Home Series (2018–2019):
    Played sporadically in the Asia Cup and home series against West Indies and Bangladesh, gradually honing his skills.
  • Historic Spell Against Bangladesh (2019):
    Produced one of the greatest T20I bowling performances, claiming 6/7 at Nagpur—the best figures by a full ICC member player in T20Is.

Batting Heroics (2021):
Scored a breathtaking 69 off 82 balls * to guide India to a thrilling chase of 276 against Sri Lanka after being reduced to 193/7 , showcasing his all-round abilities.

Despite his brilliance, persistent injuries hampered his progress, leading to inconsistent selection in the national team.


Playing Style – The Art of Swing and Control

Deepak Chahar is not an express pace bowler, clocking between 135–140 kph , but his mastery lies in his ability to swing the new ball both ways.

  • New-Ball Specialist: Known for his seam movement, late swing, and precision, Chahar excels in dismissing top-order batters.
  • Old-Ball Improvements: Gradually developed his death-bowling skills, adding variations like slower balls and yorkers to his arsenal.
  • Lower-Order Batting: Capable of contributing with the bat, as seen in his match-saving knock against Sri Lanka in 2021.

Legacy and Impact

Deepak Chahar’s career is a story of resilience, grit, and unfulfilled potential. From being rejected at 16 to becoming a household name in Indian cricket, his journey inspires countless young cricketers.

  • Records and Achievements:
    • Holder of the best T20I bowling figures (6/7) by a full ICC member player.
    • Integral to CSK’s IPL triumphs in 2018 and 2021 .
    • Match-saving innings of 69 vs Sri Lanka (2021) *.

While injuries have curtailed his consistent presence in the national team, Chahar remains a vital cog in India’s white-ball setup whenever fit.


Why Chahar Stands Out

Deepak Chahar is not just a bowler; he is a game-changer capable of altering the course of a match within a few overs. His ability to swing the new ball, coupled with his lower-order batting prowess, makes him a complete package. If he can overcome his injury woes, there’s no doubt that Chahar will reclaim his spot as one of India’s premier white-ball bowlers.

Suryakumar Yadav player profile

Suryakumar Yadav – The Modern-Day Cricket Maestro

Suryakumar Yadav, fondly known as SKY , is one of the most dynamic and innovative cricketers in the modern game. With his fearless strokeplay, unmatched improvisation, and ability to dominate bowlers across formats, he has carved a niche for himself as a trailblazer in international and domestic cricket. His journey from Mumbai’s bustling cricketing circuit to becoming India’s T20I captain is a story of grit, perseverance, and sheer talent.


Early Life and Domestic Career

Born on September 14, 1990 , in Mumbai, Suryakumar was introduced to cricket at a young age under the guidance of his paternal uncle. He later trained at the prestigious Elf Vengsarkar Academy , where his raw talent was polished into a refined skillset.

  • Ranji Trophy Debut (2010–11):
    SKY announced his arrival by top-scoring with a composed 73 in Mumbai’s first innings against Delhi.
  • Breakthrough Season (2011–12):
    He amassed 754 runs in 9 matches , finishing as Mumbai’s highest run-scorer and earning the MA Chidambaram Trophy for Best Under-22 Cricketer.

His early years were marked by consistency and adaptability, traits that would define his career.


Indian Premier League (IPL) – A Star is Born

The IPL became the platform where Suryakumar’s genius truly unfolded.

  • Kolkata Knight Riders (2014–2017):
    SKY emerged as a reliable finisher, playing crucial cameos lower down the order. He was an integral part of KKR’s 2014 title-winning campaign , featuring in every single game.
  • Mumbai Indians (2018–Present):
    Re-signed by MI in 2018, SKY transformed into the team’s batting linchpin.
    • 2018: Finished as MI’s highest run-scorer with 512 runs at a strike rate of 133.33 .
    • 2019–2020: Played a key role in Mumbai’s back-to-back IPL titles, consistently delivering match-winning performances.
    • 2023: Scored 605 runs in 16 games , leading the run charts for MI yet again.

SKY’s ability to play unorthodox shots, coupled with his calmness under pressure, has made him one of the most sought-after players in the IPL.


International Career – The Rise of a Global Superstar

Suryakumar’s international debut came in March 2021 , and he wasted no time in announcing himself to the world.

  • Debut Series vs England:
    SKY hit the first ball he faced for a six , en route to a stunning maiden fifty. It was a glimpse of what was to come.
  • Breakthrough Year (2022):
    • Smashed three T20I centuries :
      • Against England at Trent Bridge (his first).
      • In New Zealand.
      • Against Sri Lanka in Rajkot.
    • Finished as the 3rd highest run-scorer at the 2022 T20 World Cup , showcasing his ability to perform on the biggest stage.
    • Awarded ICC Men’s T20I Cricketer of the Year 2022 , a testament to his dominance in the format.
  • 2024 T20 World Cup Triumph:
    SKY’s defining moment came in the final against South Africa, where he took a breathtaking catch on the long-off boundary to dismiss David Miller, sealing India’s victory. Post the tournament, he was appointed as India’s T20I captain , succeeding Rohit Sharma.

Under his leadership, India achieved series wins against Sri Lanka , South Africa , and England , ushering in a new era of fearless cricket with young talents like Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma thriving under his guidance.


Playing Style – The Art of 360-Degree Batting

Suryakumar Yadav is often compared to legends like AB de Villiers for his ability to play shots all around the ground. His signature lap shots , reverse sweeps , and improvised scoops defy conventional coaching manuals, making him a nightmare for bowlers.

  • Known for his calm demeanor and quick reflexes , SKY thrives in high-pressure situations, often turning the tide in his team’s favor.
  • His strike rate in T20Is exceeds 170 , a staggering figure that highlights his explosive batting prowess.

Legacy and Impact

Suryakumar Yadav is more than just a cricketer; he is a game-changer who has redefined modern batting. His ability to make the impossible look routine has earned him admiration from fans and experts alike.

  • Records and Achievements:
    • Fastest Indian to score 1,000 T20I runs .
    • Only player to hit three T20I centuries in a calendar year (2022).
    • ICC Men’s T20I Cricketer of the Year 2022.
  • Beyond his stats, SKY’s leadership and mentorship have inspired a new generation of cricketers, ensuring his legacy extends beyond the field.

Why SKY Stands Out

Suryakumar Yadav is not just a batsman; he is an artist who paints masterpieces on the cricket field. Whether it’s his audacious strokeplay, his knack for delivering in crunch moments, or his humility off the field, SKY embodies the spirit of modern cricket.

From his humble beginnings in Mumbai to becoming a global superstar, Suryakumar Yadav’s journey is a testament to the power of hard work, self-belief, and innovation. As he continues to lead India in the T20 format, the cricketing world eagerly awaits the next chapter in the SKY saga—a chapter that promises more brilliance, more records, and more unforgettable moments.

Mumbai Indians Preview: Bats come alive

Mumbai Indians’ batters did the job for them against Delhi Capitals last Sunday, registering 205/5 batting first with Tilak Varma’s 59 being the top-score as the likes of Ryan Rickelton and Suryakumar Yadav all contributed. The bowlers then showed significant cutting edge and shut the door on Delhi, bowling them out for 193 to seal a 12-run victory.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview: Monster run chase

Sunrisers Hyderabad fans would be forgiven for thinking their chances of beating Punjab Kings were remote after conceding a score of 245/6 bowling first. But opener Abhishek Sharma had different ideas and a truly memorable innings from his perspective helped SRH defy the odds and complete an incredible run chase, winning with nine balls remaining.

Mumbai Indians Betting Analysis

Captain Hardik Pandya offers the potential for both runs and wickets for his team. The latter has been a particularly profitable avenue for Hardik this season, who has picked up ten wickets from five games at an average of two wickets per match. Those numbers warrant investment from bettors, specifically on the Mumbai captain to accrue over 1.5 match wickets.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Betting Analysis

Against an intimidating looking Mumbai Indians batting line-up, Harshal Patel could prove crucial to the success of Sunrisers Hyderabad here. The experienced 34-year-old has already taken eight wickets this season across five games and his smart pace variations could reap rewards. Explore backing him to take 2+ wickets via the ‘Bowler Milestones’ market.

This highly anticipated meeting between two strong teams offers viewers exciting possibilities because of equal talent distribution among their batting and bowling units. Both sides’ progress through the match will depend on their ability to handle the testing situation of spin bowling in crucial middle-over situations.

Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Expert Prediction

Mumbai Indians simply need to use their most recent victory as a springboard to put together a run of positive results like we so often see from them across the second half of an IPL tournament. Whilst Sunrisers Hyderabad are also coming off the back of a win, they have thoroughly underwhelmed on the road this season, losing all their away fixtures. With that in mind, back Mumbai to be the side who makes it back-to-back victories.

Often compared to Adam Gilchrist, Pant’s fearless approach and match-turning ability have made him a vital cog in India’s batting lineup. Despite facing challenges with consistency and fitness, his explosive talent ensures he remains a force to reckon with across formats.


Domestic Cricket – The Launchpad of Greatness

  • Early Promise:
    • Made his Ranji Trophy debut at 18 in 2015, showcasing his potential with a triple-century (308 ) against Maharashtra *.
    • Followed it up with two blistering centuries in a single game against Jharkhand, including a 135 off 67 balls , announcing himself as a prodigy.
  • Consistency and Growth:
    • His domestic performances earned him a spot in the IPL and eventually the Indian team, setting the stage for his meteoric rise.

Pant’s audacious strokeplay and ability to dominate bowlers made him a standout performer in domestic cricket.


Indian Premier League (IPL) – A T20 Powerhouse

  • Debut and Breakthrough:
    • Picked by Delhi Daredevils (now Capitals) for 1.9 Crores in 2016, Pant struggled initially but announced his arrival in 2017 with explosive performances.
    • Smashed 366 runs in 2017, including a blistering 97 off 45 balls against Gujarat Lions, showcasing his boundary-clearing ability.
  • Captaincy and Leadership:
    • Appointed captain of Delhi Capitals in 2021 after Shreyas Iyer’s injury, leading the team for three seasons despite inconsistent playoff results.
    • Retained by Delhi Capitals ahead of IPL 2023 but missed the season due to recovery from a car accident.
  • Record-Breaking Move:
    • Released by Delhi ahead of the 2025 auction , Pant was bought by Lucknow Super Giants for a staggering 27 Crores , becoming the most expensive player in IPL history.

Pant’s fearless hitting, wide array of shots, and ability to change games single-handedly make him one of the most valuable players in the IPL.


International Cricket – A Match-Winning Force

  • Test Debut and Impact:
    • Made his Test debut in 2018 and quickly became India’s go-to finisher.
    • Scored his first Test century (114) in England , nearly chasing down a mammoth target of 464.
    • Produced a 159 off 189 balls in Sydney (2019), sealing India’s historic first series win in Australia.
    • Followed it up with a 97 off 118 balls in the same venue in 2021, helping India salvage a draw against Australia.
  • Brisbane Heroics (2021):
    • Played an unbeaten 89 in a tense chase, steering India to a famous series win in Brisbane.
  • Centuries Against Top Teams:
    • Scored twin centuries against England in 2021, including a 100 off 139 balls in Cape Town (2022) where no other batter crossed 29.
    • Blasted a 146 in the postponed England Test (2022) , setting up a strong total before England chased it down.
  • T20Is and ODIs:
    • Accumulated over 3000 runs in T20s at a strike rate of nearly 150 , proving his worth in white-ball cricket.
    • Remains a key figure in India’s middle order, capable of turning matches with his explosive batting.

Pant’s ability to deliver under pressure and his knack for playing match-defining innings have cemented his place in India’s Test and limited-overs setups.


Personal Life – Resilience Beyond the Field

  • Tragedy and Triumph:
    • Days before his IPL debut season in 2017, Pant lost his father but returned to play a heroic knock, guiding his team close to victory.
    • In December 2022 , he survived a horrific car accident that left him seriously injured. After 15 months of intense rehabilitation, he returned leaner, fitter, and more determined than ever in the 2024 IPL .
  • Personality:
    • Known for his infectious energy and humor, Pant remains a fan favorite both on and off the field.

His resilience in overcoming personal tragedies and physical setbacks underscores his mental strength and determination.


Playing Style – Fearless and Flamboyant

  • Explosive Batting:
    • Capable of clearing boundaries with ridiculous ease, Pant’s repertoire includes scoops, paddles, flicks, and reverse sweeps.
    • Strikes at an average of 150+ in T20s, making him one of the most destructive batters in the format.
  • Wicketkeeping Prowess:
    • While his glovework has been criticized at times, Pant’s agility and reflexes behind the stumps have improved significantly.

Legacy and Impact

Rishabh Pant is not just a cricketer; he is a game-changer who thrives under pressure.

  • Records and Achievements:
    • First Indian wicketkeeper to score four Test centuries in Australia .
    • Key architect of India’s back-to-back Test series wins in Australia (2021, 2024).
    • Delhi Capitals’ all-time top scorer in the IPL.

Despite occasional criticism for inconsistency, Pant’s ability to produce match-winning performances makes him indispensable for India.
