IPL Points Table 2025 After GT vs LSG game: Gujarat Titans' hopes of top-2 finish take a beating
IPL 2025 Points Table After IPL Today Match Update: Gujarat Titans' chances of finishing in the top two took a major dent on Thursday as they lost to the Lucknow Super Giants by 33 runs. Mitchell Marsh's sensational maiden IPL century, alongwith a blistering half-century from Nicholas Pooran, helped LSG set a mammoth target of 236 form GT to chase. While GT's high-power top order faltered, Shahrukh Khan and Sherfane Rutherford went berzerk and for a while, it looked like GT might actually chase the big total down. However, GT then lost wickets in a clump in the death overs and thus fell well short. While GT have already qualified for the playoffs, their chances of finishing in the top two has taken a serious blow with this defeat.
Marsh earlier smashed his way to his maiden IPL century in a stunning display of big-hitting from LSG. Marsh got to the mark in just 56 balls, his innings until that point punctuated by six sixes and 10 fours. He went on to be dismissed on 117 off 64 balls, adding two more sixes to his kitty after crossing the century mark. Marsh and Aiden Markram put up an opening stand of 91 runs, ensuring that LSG get 53 out of the powerplay. Markram was dismissed on 36 off 24 but the carnage then only went up a notch with Nicholas Pooran joining Marsh and hitting the ground running. The pair's assault ensured that LSG took a whopping 127 runs in the middle overs. Marsh and Pooran put up 121 runs for the second wicket off just 52 balls, with the former hitting 66 runs in the stand off 29 balls.

Bengaluru Stampede: First Death Recorded Before RCB Felicitation Began, Says Report
Last Updated: The stampede, which claimed 11 lives during RCB's celebration of their first IPL title in 18 years, has triggered sharp criticism over the timing and handling of the event The first death in the June 4 stampede at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium occurred at 3:45 pm, just before the official IPL victory celebrations for Royal Challengers Bengaluru began at the Vidhana Soudha, according to a report by The Indian Express. The stampede, which claimed 11 lives during RCB's celebration of their first IPL title in 18 years, has triggered sharp criticism over the timing and handling of the event. Citing hospital records and the movement of bodies to two mortuaries for postmortems, the report states that ten additional deaths were recorded between 4:15 pm and 5:15 pm across three central Bengaluru hospitals while the public felicitation was still underway. A grand ceremony honouring the team was held from 4 pm to 5 PM pm the Vidhana Soudha, attended by Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy CM DK Shivakumar, and other cabinet ministers. The overlap between the fatalities and the ongoing celebrations has since become a major point of controversy in Karnataka. Adding to the controversy, the Karnataka government told the court that Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) 'invited the whole world" to their June 4 victory parade without obtaining formal permission. The government said that although the event was widely promoted to RCB's 28 lakh social media followers, the organisers only submitted an intimation letter via the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) on June 3 at 6:30 PM—just hours before the match that confirmed their IPL win. Despite the expected turnout, RCB made a public announcement at 11:30 PM on the same night and followed it with a tweet at 7:01 AM on June 4, outlining the parade route from Vidhana Soudha to M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Citing these details in court, the state argued that no official permission was granted for such a large-scale gathering and held RCB accountable for violating standard protocol.

RCB fully responsible for stampede, K'taka govt tells high court
The Karnataka government on Wednesday told the High Court that IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) bore full responsibility for the deadly stampede outside Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy Stadium on June 4, which left 11 people dead and several others injured. Opposing the bail plea of RCB's head of marketing, Nikhil Sosale, who was arrested by the Central Crime Branch (CCB) on June 6, the state submitted that RCB's last-minute social media posts, including announcements about free passes and open invitations to the team's victory celebration, triggered the massive and unmanageable crowd buildup. The submissions were made before Justice SR Krishna Kumar, who has reserved orders on Sosale's bail application and is expected to pronounce the verdict on June 12. Terming the entire celebration 'illegal,' the government argued that RCB neither sought the requisite permissions nor implemented necessary safety measures to manage an event that ultimately drew lakhs of people. 'There was no permission taken. What they submitted was an intimation—not a formal request seeking approval,' Advocate General (AG) Shashi Kiran Shetty told the court. 'They tweeted to the world, inviting lakhs of fans without specifying who could enter or what protocols applied. The entire event violated legal norms,' he added. The AG cited multiple posts made from RCB's official handle on X (formerly Twitter) between 11:30 pm on June 3 and 8:55 am on June 4. These posts announced a victory parade from Vidhana Soudha to the stadium but offered no details on ticketing, crowd control, or security arrangements. When Justice Kumar asked whether the state's position was that RCB was 'completely responsible,' the AG replied: 'Yes. They have tried to shift the blame to the State, but the entire responsibility lies with them. The event was illegal under the Karnataka Police Act and Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which deals with disobedience to lawful orders. This has criminal consequences.' Defending Sosale, senior advocate Sandesh Chouta argued that the marketing head was being unfairly targeted. 'He is merely an employee, not a decision-maker. He cannot be held vicariously liable for actions taken by the company,' Chouta told the court. Chouta also pointed out that Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar had publicly invited people to the event, but the AG refuted this claim. When the bench sought clarity on Sosale's personal responsibility, Justice Kumar observed: 'He is not even a director; just a marketing official. You cannot conflate the company with the individual. Show us a document where it's his responsibility to seek permission.' In response, the AG cited a tri-partite agreement between RCB, BCCI and KSCA to underline RCB's obligations but admitted that the document did not directly implicate Sosale. However, Shetty maintained: 'We have identified the right person for arrest based on the investigation so far.' Chouta further argued that the arrest was procedurally flawed, pointing out that it took place on June 6, even though the investigation had been officially transferred to the CID on June 5. The AG, however, countered that local police were well within their rights to act until the handover was formally completed and insisted the arrest was lawful. Sosale has also challenged the legality of his arrest, alleging that it was carried out at the behest of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah -- an act he contends exceeds the CM's constitutional authority in criminal investigations.
