Nasser Hussain says Dinesh Karthik is going to be ‘unbearable' if Royal Challengers Bengaluru win maiden IPL title
As Rajat Patidar hit Musheer Khan's delivery for a six to close the famous win for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Punjab Kings, the joy among the supporters in Mullanpur and the RCB dugout was quite visible. Since 2016, it is the first time RCB has reached the final of the Indian Premier League. Overall, it is the fourth time in the franchise's history. However, the franchise is yet to win silverware. Once again this season, too, they have had their fair share of issues playing in home conditions, but on the contrary, they have been the best team on the road, winning seven games in seven, which is a first time in the history of the tournament as well. Dinesh Karthik, who played the role of finisher for the franchise, has been made the batting coach this season. 'RCB have got through to the finals. If they win that, DK is going to be unbearable. One season as coach/mentor and he's won it,' Hussain said in jest on the Sky Sports Podcast in a humorous tone. 'He's unbearable at the best of times, he's going to be doubly unbearable. He'll be like John Terry, at the front of the RCB trophy presentation holding it there with Virat Kohli,' Michael Atherton added. From the time they strode onto the ground to the moment they wound up the game, when captain Rajat Patidar hoisted the ball into the stands over deep midwicket, RCB brimmed with purposeful energy. A conviction that hell or high water, they would fly to the final in Ahmedabad with ample time to re-energise for the title tilt, blazed in them. Not that they would require an upgrading from Thursday's shellacking of Punjab. For this was their most emphatic performance this edition, remorselessly dismembering the season's pole-sitter, a night that fuels the night of the dreams. The target of 106 was not worrisome by any stretch of imagination, but they neither took the total complacently nor embraced over-caution. Instead, they took this as an opportunity to emphasise their superiority, to issue a statement. RCB have thrice reached the finals before, but never with this merciless intensity. Bowling was aggressive and penetrative, fielding was all liveliness, fielders braving bruises to block boundaries.

Sai Sudharsan In Heated Chat With Umpire Over DRS Call. This Happens Next
Despite having a memorable run, Gujarat Titans' dream of lifting the IPL 2025 trophy shattered on Friday after they lost to Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator match. Playing in Mullanpur, MI opted to bat first and posted a whopping total of 228/5 in 20 overs. The biggest hero of their innings was opener Rohit Sharma, who scored 81 off 50 balls. Later, GT put up a strong fight but fell short by 20 runs and were knocked out from the trophy race. During this high-scoring run-chase, a controversial moment took place when GT batter Sai Sudharsan was not pleased with the umpire's decision. In the 13th over of GT's chase, Sudharsan tried to play a scoop shot off Trent Boult. However, Sudharsan missed the ball, which went down the leg and looked like a wide. The on-field umpire signalled it to be fair delivery, stating that Sudharsan moved from his spot to the scoop shot, otherwise the ball would have hit his pads. Not happy with the call, the GT opener went from the DRS review, which again gave the decision in the favour of MI. Seeing this, Sudharsan walked towards the on-field umpire and was seen arguing over the matter. However, the moment quickly settled down and game continued. Clear wide ball not given and Sai Sudharshan is not happy with umpire. — Ahmed Says (@AhmedGT_) May 30, 2025 After the match, GT skipper Shubman Gill was visibly upset with his team's overall performance as while fielding, the players dropped three catches. "Brilliant game of cricket, we were right in it. Last three-four overs didn't go our way but still a good game. Definitely not easy when we drop 3 sitters. Wasn't easy for the bowlers to control and doesn't help when you drop 3 catches," said Gill during the post-match presentation. "Message was simple (for Sai and Washington). Just play the game you want to play and the goal was the same for both of them to make us win. Because of the dew, the wicket did become little easier for us. Definitely lot of positives for us. Last 2-3 games didn't go our way but credit to all the players, especially Sai - he was terrific for us this season. 210 would've been par for us on this pitch," he added. MI will now be taking on Punjab Kings in the Qualifier 2 match on Sunday in Ahmedabad. The winner of this match will be facing Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the final on June 3.

Josh Hazlewood On Playing IPL Before WTC Final: 'Wherever I Am In The World...'
Last Updated: Josh Hazlewood's return to Royal Challengers Bengaluru after a shoulder injury has boosted the team, helping RCB secure their spot in the IPL final. Josh Hazlewood's return to Royal Challengers Bengaluru after an injury break has been a boon for the team and excellent preparation for the Australian pacer. He believes the intensity he is gaining in the IPL will be highly beneficial for the World Test Championship final against South Africa next month. Having recovered from a shoulder injury, Hazlewood made his comeback in the IPL after a month-long absence and showed no signs of rust. His performance was instrumental in Royal Challengers Bengaluru securing their first playoff appearance since 2016 with an eight-wicket victory over Punjab Kings. His impressive display also bodes well for his preparation for the World Test Championship final against South Africa, commencing at Lord's on 7 June. 'I've got to be bowling, wherever I am in the world, to get ready for that game (WTC final)," Hazlewood commented after his first IPL game since April. 'There's no better place than out in the middle. You need more hours of training to build up for a Test, but for intensity, there's no better place than the IPL," he added after taking 2/16 in 3.1 overs. Hazlewood is renowned for his relentless spells in Test cricket, but he has also significantly improved his T20 game. His hard lengths are challenging to counter, and on flatter pitches, he effectively utilises wide yorkers. On Thursday night, the pitch conditions allowed him to bowl Test match lengths, resulting in match-winning figures. He dismissed the in-form Shreyas Iyer and Josh Inglis, destabilising the Punjab Kings' batting line-up. 'I don't bowl too differently in Test cricket than tonight," the seasoned Australian pacer remarked. Discussing his recovery, Hazlewood explained, 'I worked really hard the last few weeks on the shoulder and got some good overs in the last 10 days. It feels good to be back. I was happy with tonight, the wicket helped. Not having to bowl fast yorkers or anything like that was a relief." Leg-spinner Suyash Sharma also delivered a strong performance, ably supported by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yash Dayal. 'We've got all bases covered. Any one of our five or six bowlers can bowl at any moment of the game, whether it's the start, middle, or end," Hazlewood stated. 'Having Bhuvi, who has so much experience and is quite calm, helps the rest of the attack. I'm similar to Bhuvi in that regard, focusing on skill and execution." Conditions were favourable, and RCB capitalised effectively, bowling out the opposition for 101 and chasing the modest target in 10 overs. 'There was a bit of seam movement and inconsistent bounce, which we utilised well. The conditions were great for bowling first. Suyash targeted the middle order and has bowled well throughout the tournament. He got on a roll tonight," Hazlewood concluded. First Published: May 30, 2025, 13:10 IST
