RCB maintain 100% away win record, defeat DC to top IPL 2025 points table
Is this Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) season? While many joked at the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 tournament, it seems RCB has taken the "18th season for Jersey No. 18" seriously. The Bengaluru franchise defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) by 6 wickets in 18.3 overs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
With this victory, RCB have now won all six of their away games and all four games in which they chased this season. Not only have they kept their 100% away win record intact, but they've also climbed to the top of the points table.

'Why do I need RCB? I don't even drink Royal Challenge': Karnataka Deputy CM's epic take on rumours of buying franchise
Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar on Wednesday shut down rumours about him buying the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) franchise in epic fashion. His statement came a day after RCB owners, Diageo India — the Indian arm of UK-based Diageo Plc — responded to speculation that part or all of the IPL franchise was up for sale "I am not a mad man. I'm just a member of the Karnataka Cricket Association from my younger days, that's all. I don't have time, though I had offers to be part of the management... Why do I need RCB? I don't even drink Royal Challenge," Shivakumar told news agency ANI. Earlier this week, a Bloomberg report said that the British distiller was in discussion with potential advisers on selling the club. Diageo owns the team through its Indian unit, United Spirits Ltd., and may seek a valuation of as much as $2 billion. Following the rumours, the shares of United Spirits, registered with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), gained a 3.3 per cent increase in its price, this hitting a five-month high on Tuesday morning. This forced the BSE to sent out a mail to Diageo, who then responded saying the reports were merely speculative in nature. Mital Sanghvi, the company secretary, informed the regulating body of the Indian Stock Market on the mail saying, "The company would like to clarify that the aforesaid media reports are speculative in nature and it is not pursuing any such discussion. This is for your information and records."

Sourav Ganguly unhappy with Shreyas Iyer's absence from Tests: He can play short ball
Former India cricketer turned commentator Sourav Ganguly is not happy to see Shreyas Iyer's absence from the Indian Test team for the upcoming series against England. Iyer has been in fine form over the past one year having guided Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to IPL triumph in 2024 and further led Punjab Kings (PBKS) to the final in the recent Ganguly questioned Iyer's absence from the Test team, mentioning his terrific performances over the past one year. The legendary India captain also stated that Iyer has also worked on his short ball weakness and praised him for scoring runs under pressure.'He has been playing at his best in the last one year, and should have been in this team. Last one year has been fantastic for him. He is the player who got left out. He is now scoring under pressure, taking responsibility, playing the short ball well. Although Test cricket's different, I would have had him in this series to see what he can do," Ganguly told RevSportz. Iyer last played Tests back in 2024 as he was dropped from the team midway through the series against England. In the Ranji Trophy 2024-25, he accumulated 480 runs from seven innings for Mumbai at an average of 68.57 with two hundreds to his Ganguly also backed India to do well in England and win the series, saying that Jasprit Bumrah's form will play a key role in the team's success.'Yes, sure. We just need two things, batting well and [Jasprit] Bumrah remaining fit. We won in Australia, in Melbourne (2020-21), with a young batting line-up, having no [Virat] Kohli, no Rohit Sharma. So, I do not see why we cannot win,' he are set to take on England in a five-match Test series beginning from June 20 at Headingley, Leeds. It will be the first assignment for the new captain Shubman Gill and vice captain Rishabh Pant. India haven't won a series in England since 2007 and will be up against Ben Stokes' men, who recently climbed to second spot in the ICC Test rankings.
