Just enjoy the match bro .we have seen too many High scoring matches so I'll take this one as well.

Defending 111 is not a joke on any pitches. :kp

Bro I am a RCB supporter, I also like PBKS. Just that I don't want Chahal sneaking his way into the team riding on fluke performances like this.

Edit: As I write this, Russel is restoring order.
 
Shreyas Iyer with the freaking bowling changes, that too against his former team. This is just unbelievable, defending just 111 is something which you see very rarely. What a captain, what a bowling.

:kp
 
What a game this evening
Had previlidge of watching this while I had last beer of this season before I start working out again. Excellent rotation of bowlers by Shreyas Iyer. Good candidate for captaincy
 

Match Fixing in IPL 2025? BCCI Flags Hyderabad Businessman for Alleged Corruption Attempts​


In a dramatic twist to IPL 2025, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has raised red flags over possible match-fixing attempts, cautioning teams, players, coaches, and even commentators against engaging with a “Hyderabad-based businessman” suspected of corrupt intent. The Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) has stepped up surveillance after multiple incidents came to light, casting a cloud over cricket’s most glamorous league.

According to a report by Cricbuzz, this businessman—whose identity remains under wraps—is allegedly linked to known bookies and has a checkered history of influencing sporting events. The ACSU believes he’s actively trying to infiltrate IPL circles, posing as an ardent fan, and attempting to befriend players, coaches, and support staff with ulterior motives.

The businessman has already been spotted at team hotels and match venues, heightening the risk of potential breaches. Some insiders confirm he has approached not just players but also their family members with gifts, dinner invitations, and offers to take them shopping—all while presenting himself as a die-hard fan.

This brazen behavior has left many in the cricketing fraternity uneasy. With high-profile matches like Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings and the eagerly awaited India vs Pakistan showdown in the Champions Trophy just around the corner, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

In today’s digital age, the battleground for corruption is no longer just the dressing room—it’s also the DMs. The ACSU has confirmed that the individual in question is attempting to exploit players’ and coaches’ online presence. By pretending to be a well-wisher or a wealthy fan, he’s allegedly sliding into private messages, looking for weak links.

What’s more concerning is that the targets are not limited to playing personnel. Commentators, analysts, and even franchise owners’ relatives have reportedly been approached. The BCCI’s clear directive is to report any interaction, no matter how seemingly harmless.

In response to this threat, the BCCI has urged franchises to tighten internal security protocols and remind their personnel of the zero-tolerance policy toward corruption. All stakeholders are expected to stay vigilant, report suspicious activity, and refrain from accepting gifts or meeting unverified individuals, especially those offering excessive hospitality.

“There’s no smoke without fire,” a senior BCCI official said. “Some incidents have already surfaced, and while we’re investigating, prevention remains our top priority. We owe it to the fans and to the game.”

The IPL is not just a cricket league—it’s a billion-dollar brand, a global spectacle, and a platform where careers are made. Any breach in its integrity has far-reaching consequences. With match-fixing keywords like "IPL corruption," "match-fixing in IPL 2025," and "BCCI warning Hyderabad businessman" now trending across search engines, the urgency of the situation is evident.

The ACSU’s swift and proactive response is commendable, but this incident serves as a timely reminder: cricket’s fight against corruption is far from over.

News is not surprising at all.

IPL always felt suspicious. :inti
 
RR vs DC - Hopefully RR bounce back today otherwise season is over for RR .

DC is clear favourite in today clash

:kp
 
RR won the toss and opt to Bowl first

Rajasthan Royals (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson(w/c), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Nitish Rana, Wanindu Hasaranga, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande

Axar is treating Lankan spinners like a part timers. Very poor captaincy by Sanju

Now axar is gone but he done his job .34(14)

DC 146/5 in 17 overs

:kp

Very predictable.
A meaningless T20, being played in Delhi, pace bowler being taken to the cleaners.

Situation changes,
It’s a playoff knock out
Starc bowls Jaiswal out for a 🦆 🤣

I have been seeing this for too long.

Starc is a champion cricketer who rises to the occasion.
