Early Days and Debut Born on November 5, 1988, in Delhi, Virat Kohli began his IPL journey in 2008 when he joined RCB.

MI vs SRH IPL 2025: A Big Chance to Break the Mid-Table Deadlock

/

The IPL 2025 season is heating up, and Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are set to clash in a key match tomorrow. Both teams are stuck in the middle of the points table with 4 points from 6 games, and a win here could turn things around for either side. Big Runs, Big Expectations Both teams are coming into this match after scoring 200+ runs in their last games. SRH nearly broke the 300-run barrier earlier this season with a massive 286/6 – the highest of IPL 2025 so far. Their openers, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, have been in explosive form and even stitched together a record 171-run stand against Punjab Kings. Former SRH bowling coach Dale Steyn had predicted a 300+ score on April 17, and with the way both teams are batting, it might just happen tomorrow. Crucial Phase Begins This match marks the beginning of a vital phase in the tournament. MI and SRH will face each other twice in the next six days, and both also have games coming up against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). These next ten days could decide the fate of all three former champions. Player to Watch: Ishan Kishan A twist in the tale – Ishan Kishan, who played 7 seasons for MI, is now part of SRH. MI didn’t retain him and lost him in the auction to SRH, who paid INR 11.25 crore. He had a strong start but has struggled in recent games. Still, SRH coach Daniel Vettori believes in him and feels that he’s just been unlucky. MI Probable Playing XI: Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Naman Dhir, Will Jacks/Corbin Bosch, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Karn Sharma/Vignesh Puthur SRH Probable Playing XI: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Aniket Verma, Abhinav Manohar, Pat Cummins (c), Harshal Patel, Mohammed Shami, Zeeshan Ansari, Eshan Malinga/Wiaan Mulder Match Focus Pitch: The match will be played on Pitch No. 6 at Wankhede, which has equal boundaries on both sides. Though known as a chasing ground, 5 of the last 9 matches here have been won by teams batting first. Powerplay Stats: SRH has the worst economy rate in powerplays this season, but MI’s opening combo hasn’t been much better, averaging just 22 runs. Match-ups to watch: Shami vs Rohit and Hardik (Shami has dismissed both multiple times) Bumrah and Chahar have done well against Abhishek Sharma in the past. Boult’s early overs could be crucial but he’s not had the best season so far. Can MI Stop the SRH Firepower? SRH’s style of batting – bold and fearless – has brought them big runs, but they’ve also lost games. Vettori defends his top batters saying they’re smart, not reckless. MI, on the other hand, need their bowlers like Bumrah and Boult to fire if they want to stop the SRH charge. With both teams tied on points, this match is a golden opportunity to move up the table and build momentum for the second half of the season.

IPL 2025: Unbeaten Delhi Capitals Face Confident RCB at Chinnaswamy in a High-Voltage Clash

/

The excitement is building as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) prepare to host the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Thursday, April 10, in what promises to be a thrilling IPL 2025 encounter. RCB Look to Break Unlucky Home records RCB have had a strong start to their campaign, winning three out of their first four matches. However, their only defeat came at home against Gujarat Titans, raising questions about their consistency at Chinnaswamy. That said, the team is riding high on confidence after beating Mumbai Indians at Wankhede for the first time in a decade. Virat Kohli was the star of that match, scoring a fiery 67, and creating history by becoming the first Indian to reach 13,000 T20 runs. Skipper Rajat Patidar, along with Jitesh Sharma, played key roles in setting a big total, while Josh Hazlewood and Krunal Pandya impressed with the ball, taking 8 and 7 wickets respectively so far in the tournament.  Delhi Capitals: The Team to Beat Delhi Capitals are the only unbeaten team in IPL 2025, having won all three of their matches so far. Their victories have come in different ways – a narrow one-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants, and dominant performances against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings. The team looks balanced and focused. KL Rahul stepped up in their last match with a classy 71-run knock, while Mitchell Starc has been deadly with the ball, taking 9 wickets in 3 matches, including a five-wicket haul against SRH. Spinner Kuldeep Yadav has also been effective, with 6 wickets at an economy rate of just 6.00.  Key Battles to Watch Virat Kohli vs Mitchell Starc: Kohli has dominated Starc in the past, scoring 40 runs off 19 balls without getting dismissed. Can Starc turn the tables this time? RCB middle order vs DC spin attack: DC’s spin trio of Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, and Vipraj Nigam will challenge RCB’s strong middle order, featuring Rajat Patidar, Jitesh Sharma, and Tim David. Josh Hazlewood vs DC top order: Hazlewood’s economy in the powerplay has been outstanding. His battle with DC’s aggressive openers could shape the match.  Match Details Match: Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals Date: Thursday, April 10 Time: Toss at 7:00 PM IST | Match starts at 7:30 PM IST Venue: M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru Live Broadcast: Star Sports Live Streaming: JioHotstar Team News & Probable XIs RCB Probable XII: Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar (C), Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Tim David, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Yash Dayal, Suyash Sharma/Swapnil Singh/Rasikh Salam DC Probable XII: Faf du Plessis/Sameer Rizvi, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abishek Porel, KL Rahul (wk), Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel (C), Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, Mohit Sharma/T Natarajan, Ashutosh Sharma Head-to-Head Stats Matches Played: 31 RCB Wins: 19 DC Wins: 11 No Result: 1 Quick Facts  Kohli’s strike rate in the powerplay has jumped to 162 since IPL 2024. Josh Hazlewood has the best dot-ball percentage (72.92%) in the powerplay this season. Fraser-McGurk has the highest strike rate (205) in the powerplay this season (min. 200 runs). Axar Patel has kept big hitters like Jitesh Sharma and Tim David in check with low strike rates and key dismissals.  Final Thought: With Delhi Capitals looking unbeatable and RCB eager to defend their home turf, this clash is set to be a battle of momentum vs motivation.
