  58. <h3>Sam Curran Shines Against Former Team</h3>
  59. <p>Curran looked fired up during his knock and showed his energy with a bold &#8216;call me&#8217; celebration during the 49th match of the season at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.</p>
  60. <p>Sam Curran, the former captain of Punjab Kings, had a rough start to IPL 2025. In his first three matches, he scored only 4, 8, and 9 runs against the Mumbai Indians (MI), the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), and the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). He also didn’t take any wickets with the ball.</p>
  61. <p>But Curran bounced back strongly against his old team, Punjab Kings. After Shaik Rasheed got out, Curran came in at No.3 and played aggressive cricket from the start.</p>
  62. <p>He batted confidently and reached his half-century in the 15th over by hitting a shot down the ground off Azmatullah Omarzai and running two runs. He took just 30 balls to get to fifty.</p>
  63. <p>Curran was thrilled to reach the milestone. He raised his bat to thank the crowd and then celebrated with an energetic &#8216;call me&#8217; gesture and a strong swing of his bat.</p>

  72. <h3>Dhoni Praises Curran-Brevis Partnership</h3>
  73. <p>After the match, MS Dhoni praised Sam Curran and Dewald Brevis for the strong partnership they built. He called Sam Curran a true fighter. He said:</p>
  74. <p>&#8220;The partnership between Brevis and Sam was excellent. We didn&#8217;t play the last four deliveries, and the second last over four batters got out. In close games, those 7 deliveries mean a lot.</p>
  75. <p>&#8220;Well he&#8217;s a fighter (Curran). That&#8217;s something we all know. Whenever he turns up he wants to contribute. Unfortunately so far, whenever we tried to give him a chance, the wicket was on the slower side and he found it slightly difficult. But today&#8217;s wicket was one of the best we&#8217;ve got at home in this tournament. That&#8217;s the reason I felt we needed another 15 runs.&#8221;</p>
  76. <p>In the end, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Dhoni" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS Dhoni</a> said that Dewald Brevis brings good momentum to the team and hinted that he could be kept in the squad for IPL 2026. MS Dhoni stated:</p>
  77. <p>&#8220;It&#8217;s the momentum in the middle order (Brevis offers). He&#8217;s also a very good fielder, he has power and he can hit good balls for boundaries. And he brings good energy. Happy with the way he&#8217;s playing. He can be an asset going ahead.&#8221;</p>

The match between CSK and PBKS took place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.</p>
  115. <h3>MS Dhoni&#8217;s Stunning One-Handed Six Against Yuzvendra Chahal</h3>
  116. <p>PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer knew <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Dhoni" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS Dhoni</a> had a tough time facing Yuzvendra Chahal, so he held back the experienced leg-spinner for the final overs.</p>
  117. <p>When Dhoni came out to bat, Iyer brought Chahal into the attack in the 19th over. Chahal began with a wide, then bowled a full delivery on off-stump. Dhoni stepped down the pitch and smashed a one-handed six over long-on.</p>
  118. <h3>Ravindra Jadeja&#8217;s Casual Catch Adds Humor to the Moment</h3>
  119. <p>The moment became even more entertaining when the ball landed near the CSK dugout, and Ravindra Jadeja casually caught it. He jokingly celebrated the catch, bringing laughter and cheers from players and fans alike.</p>
  120. <p>Chahal made a strong comeback by dismissing MS Dhoni on the very next ball. This was the fourth time Chahal has gotten Dhoni out in the IPL, doing so in 82 balls faced.</p>
  121. <p>Ravindra Jadeja didn’t do well with the bat. Jadeja came in to bat at number 4 again but couldn’t make a big impact. He was dismissed after scoring 17 runs off 12 balls.</p>

  128. <p>Before the match, during a chat on ESPNCricinfo, Ambati Rayudu shared his thoughts about Jadeja batting at number 4. He felt Jadeja looked unsure in that position and should not be promoted up the order. He said:</p>
  129. <p>&#8220;<em>See, Jadeja is someone who has always batted well from 15th to the 20th over. He has done that. He knows the patterns of batting those last 30 balls. So, suddenly when he comes up the order, he looked a little confused.</em></p>
  130. <p><em>&#8220;He still wanted to get to that 15th over and then take on the bowler. So, he is not someone that would come on and take on the bowling right away. So, it is very, very important that you get players who can do that.</em></p>
  131. <p><em>&#8220;So, Brevis is coming to the side now. Maybe he can get in there. And also, Dube. Dube, strangely, has done the same thing in the last game. Maybe he could have gone a little earlier in terms of big hitting. So, I think it&#8217;s just a little mindset shift that they need to get in.&#8221;</em></p>
  132. <p>Aaron Finch agreed with Rayudu’s view and added:</p>
  133. <p><em>&#8220;Yeah, I think that it&#8217;s probably the wrong move. Because, like Rayudu said, Jadeja is somebody who knows how to navigate the last few overs. He&#8217;s never been a player that has had a high strike rate in his first 10 balls.&#8221;</em></p>

The game was held at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.</p>
  172. <p>Brevis added great energy to the CSK team. After playing a fantastic innings with the bat, he took an excellent catch to dismiss Shashank Singh, showing his all-round skills in the match.</p>
  173. <p>On the 3rd ball of the 18th over, Ravindra Jadeja bowled a length delivery, and Shashank Singh pulled the ball while going on the back foot. The ball looked like it might go over Dewald Brevis, who was stationed at deep mid-wicket, but Brevis made a brilliant effort.</p>
  174. <p>He was fully aware of his position and made a fantastic catch. First, he caught the ball inside the field, then tossed it up in the air. While still in the air, he flicked the ball back inside the boundary, stepped back in, and completed the catch.</p>

  183. <p>Dewald Brevis had a solid performance in the game, scoring 32 runs off 26 balls. The right-hander batted with a strike rate of over 123, hitting two fours and one six during his innings.</p>
  184. <p>However, his effort wasn’t enough as Punjab Kings won the match by 4 wickets. With this loss, Chennai Super Kings became the first team to be officially eliminated from the IPL 2025.</p>
  185. <p>Punjab Kings batter Prabhsimran Singh, who scored a fifty, spoke about his partnership and said he wanted to take his time, while his partner did the same. He also praised the environment created by the coach and captain. He said:</p>
  186. <p>&#8220;<em>Both of us (himself and Priyansh Arya) have been batting well. The wicket was a bit slow today so I decided to take my time while he took his chances. Today I took the responsibility after he got out early. We were told before the season that we would be opening the batting together.&#8221;</em></p>
  187. <p><em>&#8220;Wasn&#8217;t too concerned about the asking rate, Shreyas (Iyer) was also at the crease and batting well. I know that even if I hit 35-40 runs it is good for the team if it is in a winning cause. I want to keep going when I get starts. The credit goes to the coach and captain for creating a great environment.&#8221;</em></p>

  250. <p>After taking the hat-trick in the 49th match of the tournament at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Chahal celebrated by doing his famous pose.</p>
  251. <h3><strong>Yuzvendra Chahal Scripts History with First-Ever Hat-Trick Against CSK</strong></h3>
  252. <p>Shreyas Iyer brought Yuzvendra Chahal back to bowl his third over in the 19th over of the innings when Chennai Super Kings&#8217; big hitters MS Dhoni and Shivam Dube were at the crease.</p>
  253. <p>Chahal began with a wide and then got hit for a six by Dhoni. But he made a strong comeback by getting Dhoni out on the very next ball.</p>
  254. <p>On the third ball, Deepak Hooda took two runs. Then Chahal showed his class — he bowled a full toss that Hooda hit straight to Priyansh Arya for a catch. Next, Chahal bowled out Anshul Kamboj with a brilliant delivery, and on the final ball, he got Noor Ahmad out to complete an incredible hat-trick.</p>
  255. <p>Chahal celebrated the moment with his famous pose. This was his second hat-trick in IPL history, the first one coming when he played for the Rajasthan Royals.</p>

While numerous batsmen, including Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, C Andre Siddanth and many other batsmen have undoubtedly risen to fame after their successful batting exploits in the ongoing IPL 2025 edition, the annihilating bowlers, including Prasidh Krishna, Digvesh Rathi and many others have also garnered immense fame for their deadly bowling attacks even under high-pressure situations.</p>
  313. <p>Well, if you’re an Indian Premier League aficionado, you would most definitely agree that picking up a wicket in the first over of the match undoubtedly gives a tactical advantage to the squad by disrupting the opening partnerships and breaking the opposing team’s momentum.</p>
  314. <p>In this article we will take a look at the top four bowlers who have dominated their opponent teams after picking up the highest number of wickets in the first over of the IPL.</p>

  322. <p>New Zealand’s former international cricketer and one of the greatest pace bowlers of all-time, <a href="https://sportsdigest.in/trent-boult-to-mi-perfect-match-ipl-2025/115384/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trent Boult</a>, is at the first spot in our list of the top four bowlers who are currently dominating the Indian Premier League scene with most wickets in the first over. The annihilating bowler from New Zealand, Trent Boult, has successfully played a total of 96 Indian Premier League matches so far and has picked up the highest ever total of 30 wickets right in the first over of the match.</p>
  323. <p>Undoubtedly, Trent Boult, who was officially acquired by the Mumbai Indians (MI) franchise for a staggering INR 12.50 crore in the TATA IPL 2025 mega auction held in Jeddah in November 2024, is undoubtedly proving to be a nightmare for the top-order batting lineups of various franchises.</p>

  367. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MS Dhoni, the captain of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), gave a big clue about his future in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He said he hasn&#8217;t yet decided whether he will play in the next season or not.</p>
  368. <h3>MS Dhoni Hints at Uncertainty Over IPL Future</h3>
  369. <p>Chennai Super Kings are playing against Punjab Kings in the 49th match of IPL 2025. The match is happening at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday, 30th Apri</p>
  370. <p>As always, MS Dhoni got a loud and warm welcome from the crowd at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The fans cheered wildly for him, and they got even more excited when presenter Danny Morrison asked if he would play next year.</p>
  371. <p>Danny Morrison asked: &#8220;Look at the reception. Does this mean you&#8217;re coming back next year as well?&#8221; Replying to this, MS Dhoni said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m coming for the next game (laughs).&#8221;</p>
  372. <p>MS Dhoni also discussed the team’s performance, admitting that they haven’t been able to take advantage of the home conditions.</p>
  373. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  374. <p>He was honest about the team&#8217;s uncharacteristic performance this season, mentioning that they have been making many changes. Speaking at the toss, he said:</p>
  375. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  376. <p>&#8220;One of the things is the pride factor. Majority of the games you play at home. Home advantage is very important which we haven&#8217;t been able to capitalise on. Same team. We&#8217;ve been a side where we don&#8217;t make a lot of changes. But this season we&#8217;ve made a lot of changes.</p>
  377. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  378. <p>&#8220;Reason is simple. If most of your players are doing well, then you chop and change 1-2 players. But this season it hasn&#8217;t worked for us. It&#8217;s also the first season after a fresh auction. So you have something in mind but you have to see where a batter is suited better.&#8221;</p>
  379. <h3>Clues Pointing to MS Dhoni&#8217;s Possible Retirement in IPL 2025</h3>
  380. <p>There was a lot of talk that IPL 2025 could be MS Dhoni&#8217;s last season, with many clues pointing to it. Before the season, he was spotted wearing a shirt with &#8220;One last time&#8221; written in Morse code.</p>
  381. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  382. <p>In one of the Chennai Super Kings&#8217; games at Chepauk, a video of his wife saying &#8220;His last game&#8221; went viral while his parents were in the stands. However, MS Dhoni has left everyone unsure about his future, and it’s unclear whether he will play next season.</p>
  383. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  384. <p>Dhoni has struggled this season. As a captain, he hasn&#8217;t been very successful, and he hasn&#8217;t been able to score many runs either. He has batted slowly and later in the order, which has led to a lot of criticism.</p>

  405. <h3>FIFA World Cup&#8217;s Birthday Tribute to Rohit Sharma</h3>
  406. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  407. <p>Rohit, who is the captain of India’s ODI and Test teams, turned 38 on Wednesday, April 30. His cricket journey has seen amazing successes and tough times, but it’s still one of the most inspiring stories in Indian cricket.</p>
  408. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  409. <p>FIFA World Cup posted a picture on their Instagram showing India captain Rohit Sharma holding the T20 World Cup, in a scene similar to when Argentina’s captain Lionel Messi lifted the FIFA World Cup after beating Brazil in the final in Qatar.</p>
  410. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  411. <h3>Early Days and Rise in International Cricket</h3>

  452. <p id="isPasted">Well, over the past few decades, tennis racquets have undergone a significant transformation and are currently looked upon as much more than mere equipment used by top-notch players to play the game. Numerous tennis racquets, including Babolat Play Pure Drive, offer cutting-edge technology of sensors and tracking tools that actively detect the shot types, RPM (revolutions per minute) rate and the major impact location-strings—center, top edge, or off-center.</p>
  453. <p>All the data recorded during the matches and practice sessions is automatically shared on the selected device via Bluetooth, which allows the players and coaches to fully analyse the patterns and make date-driven improvements to strengthen the players’ performance on the tennis court against opponents.

  460. <p id="isPasted">Unlike traditional tennis shoes, modern-day tennis shoes are far more advanced and are manufactured with top-notch precision to match specific court surfaces. Tennis shoes are currently designed to optimize a player&#8217;s performance and protect their body across different court surfaces, including clay (French Open), grass (Wimbledon) and hard courts (Australian Open, U.S. Open). The majority of tennis players rely on maximum cushioning to reduce stress on knees and ankles on hard courts and prioritise responsiveness and lateral stability for quick directional changes on clay and grass courts.</p>
  461. <p>Over the years, numerous prominent tennis players, including Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, have been spotted wearing their court-specific and highly advanced tennis shoes in their most crucial tennis tournaments. With active input from biomechanics experts, engineers, and the seasoned tennis players themselves, modern shoe manufacturers now adapt technologies that help the players with levelling up their game against the odds of weather and surfaces.

  615. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="174" data-end="415">Things are heating up in The Judgment Day, and it&#8217;s not just about their entrance gear. Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio have been looking at each other a lot lately, and fans are wondering if we are about to see The Judgment Day break apart.</p>
  616. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="417" data-end="720">When everyone in the group has a title, everything runs smoothly. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez just won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles on RAW, and Dirty Dom walked out of WrestleMania 41 with the Intercontinental Championship. But poor Finn has nothing. No title, no glory, just growing frustration.</p>
  617. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="722" data-end="976">And if history has taught us anything, it&#8217;s that Finn Balor without a title is a ticking time bomb. Remember when jealousy ended his friendship with Damian Priest? That didn’t end well. So, here are four signs that Finn may soon turn on Dominik Mysterio.</p>
  618. <h3 style="text-align: justify" data-start="978" data-end="1046"><strong data-start="978" data-end="1046">4. Dominik Mysterio pinned Finn Balor to win the IC Championship</strong></h3>
  619. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="1048" data-end="1282">When friends become enemies, it’s usually only a matter of time. Going into the Fatal Four-Way match at WrestleMania 41, the plan was simple: keep the title in the family, no matter who won. But plans like that come with hidden costs.</p>
  620. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="1284" data-end="1461">Dominik Mysterio did his job, sure. He pinned Finn Balor to win the Intercontinental Championship. That’s the kind of loss that doesn’t just hurt egos; it also breaks alliances.</p>
  621. <h3 style="text-align: justify" data-start="1463" data-end="1526"><strong data-start="1463" data-end="1526">3. Dominik’s age and Finn’s experience will create tensions</strong></h3>
  622. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="1528" data-end="1674">Finn Balor has started wearing shirts that remind fans he’s been in WWE for nearly a decade. He’s the longest-standing member of The Judgment Day.</p>
  623. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="1676" data-end="2019">Dominik was always seen as the younger brother, and his ideas were often mocked or ignored. Even though the group’s dynamics have changed, Balor still treats Dominik like a kid. Phrases like &#8220;When we listen to Finn, we win&#8221; show that only Finn’s ideas matter. He’s already tired of others&#8217; ideas, and this could lead to Finn betraying Dominik.</p>
  624. <h3 style="text-align: justify" data-start="2021" data-end="2070"><strong data-start="2021" data-end="2070">2. Finn was surprised by JD McDonagh’s return</strong></h3>
  625. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="2072" data-end="2263">After WrestleMania, RAW and SmackDown are the usual places for wrestlers to make comebacks. This year, Rusev and Sami Zayn returned. Stephanie Vaquer, Giulia, and Roxanne Perez also appeared.</p>
  626. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="2265" data-end="2580">JD McDonagh also returned after being injured during a championship match. Finn Balor was shocked when McDonagh appeared during Dominik’s match on RAW and helped him retain the <a href="http://www.wwe.com/titlehistory/intercontinental-championship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Intercontinental Championship</a>. The fact that McDonagh didn’t tell Finn he was coming back could be the final reason Finn turns on Dominik.</p>
  627. <h3 style="text-align: justify" data-start="2582" data-end="2639"><strong data-start="2582" data-end="2639">1. The Judgment Day always betrays someone eventually</strong></h3>
  628. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="2641" data-end="2840">The Judgment Day has times of success, followed by moments of trouble. The group’s existence is cyclical, and Finn Balor is the longest-standing member. All the original members have been thrown out.</p>
  629. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="2842" data-end="3162">Finn may want to kick Dominik out of the group, but he has fewer supporters than Dominik. When Edge, Ripley, and Priest were excluded from the group, everyone was on board. But now that Dominik is having the same success as Balor with a tag title, it’s only a matter of time before Finn’s jealousy makes him take action.</p>
