With another week of IPL 2025 done and dusted, teams have battled fiercely to secure their place at the top of the table and stay alive in the tournament. The intensity of the league has only grown, and after 50 matches, Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals have officially been eliminated. Now, the race continues among the remaining eight teams for the playoff spots. With unexpected twists, individual brilliance, and close finishes, this week has delivered it all. Let’s take a quick look at the top five headlines from the past week.
Why Virat Kohli’s Anchor Role Sets Him Apart from IPL Power Hitters
In the IPL 2025 match against Delhi Capitals, Virat Kohli played a crucial anchor role, scoring 51 runs off 47 balls, guiding Royal Challengers Bangalore to a six-wicket win. Despite a tough pitch and early setbacks, Kohli’s smart approach, focusing on singles, doubles, and occasional boundaries, helped his team chase down 163. His calculated batting approach showcases why he stands out as an anchor, proving he still possesses the skills to lead a successful run chase, even without relying solely on power hitting.
Why is Sunil Narine still One of the Greatest Spinners to play in the Indian Premier League?
During the game against the Delhi Capitals, Sunil Narine managed to pick up 3 wickets of the Delhi Capitals and changed the game completely for the Kolkata Knight Riders Team. With 190 wickets in the 186 IPL Matches at an average of 25.39, Sunil Narine remains one of the best spinners ever to play in the IPL.
Why the Failure of Kolkata Knight Riders’ Triple R Has Led to Their Poor Performance
Rinku Singh’s poor form, including his 36 runs off 25 balls in the recent match, has disappointed Kolkata Knight Riders. Also, dropping Ramandeep Singh and Andre Russell’s 17 runs off 9 balls hasn’t helped the team. These problems, along with other struggles, are causing KKR’s difficulties in IPL 2025.
What Exactly Went Wrong for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2025?
After a crushing 100-run defeat to the Mumbai Indians in Match 50 of IPL 2025, the Rajasthan Royals are officially out of the playoff race. Their season has been disappointing, with batters and bowlers failing to perform consistently. With just 3 wins in 11 games, RR never found momentum and are left to reflect on what went wrong.
