GT Vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2025: Will MS Dhoni Announce Retirement Today?
As the league stage of the Indian Premier League 2025 careers towards its climax, the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is set to host a pivotal encounter for one team and a final bow for the other. Match 67 will see the high-flying Gujarat Titans (GT) lock horns with a struggling Chennai Super Kings (CSK). For the Titans, a victory is non-negotiable as they aim to secure a coveted top-two spot in the playoffs. In stark contrast, the Super Kings, already eliminated from playoff contention, will be playing for pride and perhaps looking to blood new talent for the seasons to come. Gujarat Titans, under the leadership of Shubman Gill, have had a strong campaign and have already booked their place in the postseason. However, their recent hiccup against Lucknow Super Giants, a 33-run loss despite a fighting half-century from Shahrukh Khan, has put a slight dent in their otherwise smooth progression. With 18 points from 13 games, a win against CSK would guarantee them 20 points and a crucial advantage in the playoffs, offering two shots at making the final. Chennai Super Kings, the five-time champions, have endured a forgettable IPL 2025. Plagued by inconsistent performances, untimely injuries – including to their initial captain Ruturaj Gaikwad which saw MS Dhoni resume leadership – and a batting lineup that has largely failed to fire, CSK find themselves languishing at the bottom of the points table with a meagre three wins from their 13 outings. Their campaign has been described as a 'multifaceted collapse,' a stark deviation from their usually dominant presence in the league. This match will be their last opportunity to salvage some pride in a season they would rather forget. Who are you backing for the win?

RCB Owners Looking To Sell Franchise After IPL 2025 Win: Sources
Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), just a week after winning the 2025 title, could be looking at new owners. Sources have told NDTV that the franchise's current owners, Diageo Plc, are out in the market, looking to sell the franchise, either partially or fully. The decision comes in the wake of the high that the brand has witnessed after the team won its maiden IPL title, putting an end to the 18-year-long hiatus. RCB is run by United Spirits Ltd in India, through Diageo Plc, which is to are already in talks with potential investors. Though there's no official information on the valuation of the franchise that has come yet, it has been reported by Bloomberg that the owners might demand a price as high as USD 2 billion (approx. INR 16,834 crores) for complete sale. British distiller and United Spirits Ltd.'s parent Diageo Plc is evaluating options to sell a partial or full stake in Royal Challengers Bengaluru, according to people familiar with the matter. The liquor giant is exploring ways to monetise the IPL franchise after its recent title win, the people said, adding, Diageo is talking to potential advisors to manage the deal. As the news of RCB's potential sale broke, the sentiments also gave a boost to United Spirits' shares a boost. The stock prices went up as much as 3.3% on Tuesday morning. However, the decision wether to sell the franchise, or not, isn't final yet. Right after the high of the IPL title triumph, RCB also hit a low when the franchise's title celebrations at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru turned fatal for 11 fans. The loss of lives in the celebrations saw the euphoria sink dramatically. How Diageo Bought RCB When the franchise started in 2008, it was originally bought by Vijay Mallya, who used to own Kingfisher Airlines and was one of the most renowned figures in India's liquor industry. Mallya found himself embroiled in a debt trap that brought his empire crashing down, giving Diageo an opportunity to buy RCB through its subsidiary in India, United Spirits. RCB remains one of the most followed sporting teams on social media across the globe. In cricket, the franchise has the biggest fanbase despite the lack of success it has had in the T20 league.

Back In Kent, Pacer Arshdeep Singh Focussing Rhythm Ahead Of England Tests
India left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh is delighted to be back in Kent where he had earlier played county cricket as he looks to rediscover his red-ball rhythm ahead of the five-match Test series against England beginning June 20. The 26-year-old is eyeing his maiden Test appearance after being named in the Indian squad. The team is playing a four-day tour match against India A at the Kent County Cricket Ground at Beckenham from June 13. Primarily known for his white-ball exploits, Arshdeep, who represented Kent in the County Championship two years ago, had a notable season in the IPL 2025 with Punjab Kings, who finished runners-up. "As for today's training session, my only motivation was to get a feel for the rhythm -- how the body feels, how the red ball is coming out of the hand -- because all the players have been playing with the white ball for quite a while. So I really enjoyed it," he told "Going forward, as we keep progressing step by step, the intensity will keep increasing, and we'll keep making it more and more difficult for the batters to face the ball." India, without the services of retired Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, will be led by new skipper Shubman Gill. The team includes a crop of young batters such as Sai Sudharsan and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Arshdeep said he is enjoying bowling to his team-mates as he sharpens his red-ball skills. "It was fun bowling to the batters. They looked quite compact, and there was a competitive spirit—even though we were just working on rhythm, they were fully competing. So that made it even more fun," he said. "We had to grind properly and try to get them out with a solid plan. Sai has joined the team for the first time, and he looked very compact too. The skipper looked in good touch. I'll try my best to keep improving and get them out more often going ahead." 'When your attack includes Bumrah, comparison doesn't exist' Arshdeep said he is focused on enhancing his skills while training alongside pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. "Whenever I hold the ball, I always feel that I am the best. But everyone knows—when you're in an attack that includes a player named Jasprit Bumrah, then the word 'comparison' doesn't even exist," he said. "So, the focus is on how we can improve each other's game, each other's skill sets—and how we can help the team. That's where my focus lies." Reflecting on his earlier stint in Kent, Arshdeep said: "It feels really good to be here. At first, you get that 'homely' feeling, that yes, I've spent two months here before, so it feels great. I'm really looking forward to creating many more memories here. "It's a small place, very peaceful. Not many people around. If you need peace of mind, this is the best place—because there's always a cool breeze blowing, a soft warmth from the sun, and when you sip hot chocolate in that setting, it's pure bliss. "And if you have a sweet tooth, make sure to have some churros with it," said Arshdeep. The opening Test begins in Leeds on June 20.
