India Tour of England 2025 

/

India tour of England 2025 that is going to happen in the absence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma It is the first time since the 2011 It is the new era of test cricket as Team India is beginning its latest chapter of test cricket with the leadership of Shubman Gill, as India gears up for a test match series against England starting from June 20. Ricky Pointing shared his thoughts as India is going to play test cricket without two of its most iconic players, he said, “It is very difficult to replace players like Kohli and Rohit. But any country that can do it is India, because of the young talent they have. The former Australian captain highlighted the strength of the indian team’s young talent, which has produced consistent results in recent years. Ricky Ponting said he has seen how talented Indian players are, especially in the IPL, and mentioned how players like Yashasvi Jaiswal have done well in international cricket quickly. He believes India has plenty of talent, but the real challenge will be dealing with the lack of experience in the team. While young players can replace skills, experience is harder to replace. Still, with some senior players like KL Rahul and Bumrah, and a young captain like Shubman Gill, Ponting feels India can manage this rebuilding phase better than most teams. Gill’s reaction on departure for the India Tour of England 2025. Shuman Gill stayed calm when questioned about the absence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma and said, ” Both Virat and Rohit are very most important players and they have secured many victories for us. It is very difficult to replace them, but our team has a good blend of young talent and experience. Gill said during the pre-departure press conference.

Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, on Wednesday, April 2, at 7:30 PM IST. Both teams have played five matches against each other in IPL history, with RCB winning three and GT winning two.

They have successfully chased a target in one game and defended a total in another. This will be their first match at home, and the fans will be excited to see them play. Captain Rajat Patidar has been leading the team well, and most players have performed when needed. Star batter Virat Kohli has been in great form, scoring 90 runs in two matches. GT’s Current Form Gujarat Titans had a tough start, losing their first match against Punjab Kings despite scoring 232 runs. However, they bounced back strongly by defeating Mumbai Indians. Their batting and bowling looked strong in their last game, and they will be hoping to continue that performance against RCB. Pitch Report – M. Chinnaswamy Stadium The pitch at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is known for being batting-friendly. The short boundaries and fast outfield make it easy for batters to score runs. Teams usually prefer to bowl first at this venue as chasing has been successful. However, bowlers who mix their pace and variations can still be effective. Head-to-Head Record (RCB vs GT) Matches Played: 5   RCB Wins: 3   GT Wins: 2   First-ever Match: April 30, 2022   Last Match: May 4, 2024   Predicted Playing XI   Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB):  1.

However, GT has strong match-winners who can turn the game around. If RCB bats first and puts up a big score, they will have the upper hand. On the other hand, if GT bowls well and restricts RCB, they can chase down the target. Overall, RCB has a slight edge, but it will be a close contest.

IPL 2025: RR vs CSK Match 11 Prediction – Who Will Win Today’s Clash?

/

Match Overview The Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are set to face off in Match 11 of IPL 2025 on Sunday, March 30, at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. RR has had a tough start to their campaign, losing both of their opening matches, while CSK has managed one win and one loss in their first two games. This match will be crucial for both teams to gain momentum in the tournament. RR’s Performance So Far Rajasthan Royals, led by Riyan Parag in the absence of full-time captain Sanju Samson (who is recovering from a finger injury), have struggled in their first two games. In their opening match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, RR’s bowling attack colapsed as SRH posted a record 286/6. Despite a good effort from Samson and Dhruv Jurel, RR fell short by 44 runs. In their next game against Kolkata Knight Riders, RR managed only 151 runs while batting first, which KKR chased down comfortably. With a weakened bowling attack and inconsistent batting, RR will be hoping to turn things around against CSK.  CSK’s Performance So Far CSK started their campaign on a strong note, defeating Mumbai Indians by four wickets. Spinner Noor Ahmad was the standout performer, taking four wickets to dismantle MI’s batting lineup. However, CSK faced a setback in their next game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), where they lost by 50 runs. Despite a strong batting lineup, CSK failed to keep up with the high required run rate and suffered a defeat.  Pitch Report:   The pitch at Barsapara Cricket Stadium is known for its batting-friendly conditions. With an average run rate of 8.57 in IPL matches played here, high scores can be expected. However, spinners will have a role to play, especially in the middle overs, as the surface is slightly dry. Fast bowlers might not get much seam movement, but they can still be effective with variations.  Head-to-Head Record Total Matches Played:   29 Rajasthan Royals Wins:  13 Chennai Super Kings Wins:  16 No Result:   1  Predicted Playing XIs  Rajasthan Royals (RR):  Yashasvi Jaiswal Sanju Samson (Impact Player) Nitish Rana Riyan Parag (C) Dhruv Jurel (WK) Shimron Hetmyer  Wanindu Hasaranga Jofra Archer Maheesh Theekshana  Tushar Deshpande Sandeep Sharma  Chennai Super Kings (CSK):  Rachin Ravindra Rahul Tripathi Ruturaj Gaikwad (C)  Deepak Hooda Sam Curran  Ravindra Jadeja  MS Dhoni (WK)  Ravichandran Ashwin  Noor Ahmad Matheesha Pathirana  Khaleel Ahmed  Key Players to Watch  Best Batter Prediction RR:  Sanju Samson, Dhruv Jurel CSK: Rachin Ravindra, Ruturaj Gaikwad  Best Bowler Prediction RR:  Maheesh Theekshana, Wanindu Hasaranga CSK:  Noor Ahmad, Khaleel Ahmed Match Prediction: Who Will Win? Looking at the current form and squad strength, CSK appears to have a slight edge over RR. Their bowling attack, led by Noor Ahmad, has been in fine form, and their batting unit has the depth to chase down any target. However, RR will be desperate for their first win of the season and could put up a strong fight.
