IPL 2025
A banker by profession , a sportsman by heart,one who eats, sleeps and breathes cricket. Mantra for life - Play each ball on merits & keep the scoreboard moving. The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, which concluded on June 3, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) clinching their maiden title against Punjab Kings (PBKS), was a showcase of emerging talent. Among the standout performers were uncapped Indian players who made significant impacts, proving their potential to be future stars. In this article, I have picked my uncapped XII, backed by key statistics from the season to highlight why they form an exciting combination. Top order: Explosive young guns 1. Vaibhav Suryavanshi (Rajasthan Royals) At just 14 years old, Vaibhav Suryavanshi became the youngest player to make waves in IPL history. Playing for Rajasthan Royals, his explosive batting was a revelation. In 7 innings, Vaibhav scored 252 runs at an average of 36.00 and a staggering strike rate of 206.50, including a century (101 off 38 balls) against Gujarat Titans and a fifty (57 off 33). His fearless approach, highlighted by a strike rate of more than 200 (highest in IPL 2025 for players facing at least 50 balls), made him a standout opener. Despite a duck against Mumbai Indians, his ability to dominate attacks marked him as a prodigy. 2. Priyansh Arya (Punjab Kings) Priyansh Arya, another dynamic opener, from Punjab Kings, was a run-machine at the top. Playing his first-ever IPL, he amassed 475 runs at a strike rate of 179.24 in 17 innings, including a sensational century off 39 balls. His consistency and ability to accelerate made him a key figure in PBKS campaign, challenging some of the top batters for the Orange Cap. Arya's aggressive stroke play and composure under pressure earned him a spot in this squad, forming a formidable opening pair with Suryavanshi. 3. Ayush Mhatre (Chennai Super Kings) Ayush Mhatre, signed as a mid-season replacement for the injured Ruturaj Gaikwad, emerged as a gem for Chennai Super Kings. Batting at the top, Mhatre impressed with his technique and flair, providing much needed firepower to CSK's batting in the powerplay. He scored 240 runs in 7 innings at an outstanding strike rate of 188.97. Middle order: Stability and firepower 4. Prabhsimran Singh – Wicketkeeper (Punjab Kings) Prabhsimran Singh, the wicketkeeper-batter for Punjab Kings, brought dynamism to the side along with his opening partner Priyansh. Known for his aggressive batting, he amassed 549 runs at a strike rate of 160.52 in 17 innings. As a big-hitting keeper-batter he is a vital cog in this line-up, doubling as the team's gloveman. 5. Nehal Wadhera (Punjab Kings) Nehal Wadhera, acquired by Punjab Kings for ₹4.20 crore, is a reliable middle-order batter. His ability to stabilize innings while accelerating when needed makes him a perfect foil at no.5 for the big-hitters above and below him. Wadhera's versatility and clutch performances enabled him to score 369 runs in 15 innings at strike rate of 145.84. 6. Shashank Singh – Captain (Punjab Kings) Shashank Singh continued to be a revelation for Punjab Kings, delivering match-winning knocks under pressure. His all-round batting prowess, combining power and finesse, made him a key middle-order player. He scored 350 runs at a strike rate of 153.50 with 3 fifties which highlights his impact as a finisher and a dependable batter. All-rounders and bowlers: The game-changers 7. Naman Dhir (Mumbai Indians) Naman Dhir, Mumbai Indians' uncapped all-rounder, added depth to the line-up with his batting and occasional bowling. His aggressive approach and ability to contribute in multiple facets made him an asset. He scored 252 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 182.60 which makes him an ideal number seven, offering flexibility as a finisher or stabilizer, if required. 8. Vipraj Nigam (Delhi Capitals) Vipraj Nigam, a bowling all-rounder for Delhi Capitals, impressed with both bat and ball. His ability to contribute in crunch situations earned him recognition as a breakout star. He picked up 11 wickets at an economy rate of 9.12 with his leg-spin while contributing 142 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 179.74 lower down the order. The bowling arsenal 9. Digvesh Rathi (Lucknow Super Giants) Digvesh Rathi, the leg-spinner for Lucknow Super Giants, was a standout bowler, claiming 14 wickets in 13 matches at an average of 30.64 and an economy rate of 8.25. His signature celebrations became a fan favourite, but his ability to outfox batters with clever variations was his true strength. Rathi's inclusion as the lead spinner in this XI underscores his impact as one of the best uncapped bowlers in IPL 2025. 10. Anshul Kamboj (Chennai Super Kings) Anshul Kamboj, CSK's right-arm pacer, had a decent campaign, taking 8 wickets in 8 matches at an average of 21.50, with a best of 3-13. His ability to bowl at different stages of the game made him a versatile resource. Kamboj's pace and accuracy earn him a spot in this squad. 11. Yash Dayal (Royal Challengers Bengaluru) Yash Dayal, RCB's left-arm pacer, played a pivotal role in their title-winning campaign. He picked up 13 wickets at an average of 36.15, contributing to RCB's success in crucial matches. His ability to bowl tight lines and take wickets in the middle overs made him a reliable option. Dayal's experience and skill make him the spearhead of this bowling attack. Impact substitute: Ashwani Kumar (Mumbai Indians) Ashwani Kumar, Mumbai Indians' left-arm pacer, was a revelation with the ball. In 7 matches, he took 11 wickets at an average of 21.09 with a best of 4-24 on debut. His ability to swing the ball and deliver in high-pressure situations made him a key component of MI's bowling attack. His inclusion as an impact sub adds depth to the bowling unit, ready to replace a batter or bowler as needed. Why this XII stands out This uncapped XII combines youthful exuberance with match-winning potential. The top order, led by Suryavanshi, Arya, and Mhatre, provides explosive starts, while Prabhsimran, Wadhera, and Shashank offer stability and firepower in the middle. Dhir and Nigam add all-round depth, and the bowling attack—featuring Rathi's spin, Dayal's swing, Kamboj's versatility, and Kumar's pace —is well-rounded. With a blend of high strike rates, wicket-taking ability, and clutch performances, this team could rival any IPL side. This uncapped squad encapsulates the spirit of the tournament, showcasing talent that could soon dominate Indian cricket. As these players continue to grow, their IPL 2025 performances will be remembered as the launchpad for their careers.

Housefull 5 Box Office Collection day 1: Decent start for Akshay Kumar's film, crosses ₹13 crore on opening day
Housefull 5 Box Office Collection day 1: The much-awaited film, Housefull 5, starring Akshay Kumar and his gang released in cinema on Friday. Off to a decent start, the murder mystery has crossed ₹ 13 crore at the box office. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Housefull 5 has so far minted ₹ 13.81 crore. However, these are the real-time updates from morning and afternoon. The final figures will be out after 10 pm. If the film maintains similar momentum during the evening and night shows, its total earnings could potentially double by the end of the day. Housefull 5 had an overall 20.93% Occupancy on Friday in 2D format. The 3D format saw an occupancy of 10.76% on June 06, 2025. Cities like Mumbai, Delhi NCR and Ahmedabad had the highest occupancy with the highest number of screenings for the film in all formats. Following closely is Pune, Bengaluru and Surat on the list. Overall, the film has done better business than expected. Going by its advance sales booking, the film was set to premiere with ₹ ₹ 6.87 crore gross earnings (including the blocked seats). Housefull 5 is clashing with the Hindi version of Kamal Haasan's Thug Life which was released a day ahead of Housefull 6. Thug Life, however, has received an underwhelming response. On the other hand, both the films are also clashing with Maddock Films' Bhool Chuk Maaf, starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi. Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, ''HOUSEFULL 5' IS AKSHAY KUMAR'S WIDEST OVERSEAS RELEASE... The much-awaited #Housefull5 has released in… 85+ countries 1300+ locations 2000+ screens.' He also reviewed the film and called it 'Dhamaal'. "#OneWordReview… #Housefull5: DHAMAAL. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½ The #Housefull franchise returns with a bang – this time, it's bigger, louder, and crazier... A paisa-vasool entertainer with madness, a thrilling climax, and mass-moments galore. #Housefull5Review. First things first: In a film like #Housefull5, logic takes a backseat... The key is to surrender yourself to the craziness and enjoy the rollercoaster ride. 'Director #TarunMansukhani infuses fresh energy into the franchise, while retaining the essence that fans have loved over the years... #HF5 continues the series' tradition of over-the-top humour, madcap storytelling, and visual extravaganza. The writing is peppered with witty one-liners, quirky twists, and cleverly staged gags... In short, #HF5 strikes the right balance between madness and masala,' his post read. Taran also mentioned what did not work in the film for him. He added, 'Minus points? A few jokes feel dated and forced. Some supporting characters are underutilized. The post-interval screenplay could've been tighter.'

Police Complaint File Against Virat Kohli Over Bengaluru Stampede During RCBs IPL 2025 Victory Celebration
Two days after the Bengaluru stampede which claimed 11 lives near Chinnaswamy Stadium, a police complaint was lodged against former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Virat Kohli on Friday in Bengaluru over the incident. As per IANS News Agency report, the complaint was filed with the Cubbon Park police station by A.M. Venkatesh, representing the Naija Horatagaarara Vedike. The police have accepted the complaint, which seeks action against the celebrity cricketer. Venkatesh was informed that his complaint would be considered for investigation along with the FIR already lodged in this regard. The report further mentioned that the Karnataka Police, in the FIR lodged regarding the stampede, stated that the accused parties -- RCB franchise, event management firm DNA, and the KSCA Administrative Committee -- organised the victory celebration without the necessary permissions. The FIR has been registered under Sections 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt), 118(1) (voluntarily causing hurt or grievous hurt by using dangerous weapons or means), 118(2) read with Section 3(5) (voluntarily causing grievous hurt, when the act is done by several persons in furtherance of common intention), 190 (unlawful assembly), 132 (criminal force to deter a public servant), 125(a) (filing false affidavit), and 125(b) (rash and negligent acts that endanger human life) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Meanwhile, two additional cases have been registered at the Cubbon Park police station regarding the stampede incident. Based on a complaint filed by Roland Gomes, who was injured in the stampede and treated as an inpatient at a hospital, a case has been filed against the RCB franchise, KSCA, and DNA under Section 125(a) of the BNS. In his complaint, Gomes said: "I saw the RCB post on social media and came with my friends to watch the celebration. It was announced that there would be a procession with an open bus. When I was entering through Gate Number 17, there was a huge rush, and my shoulder joint got dislocated." Notably, a stampede outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru during RCB's IPL 2025 victory celebrations killed 11 and injured many more on Wednesday. A day after the incident, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah asked for the arrests of the officials of RCB, DNA and Karnataka State Cricket Association. The state government also superseded several top police officials, including Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayananda. The Bengaluru Police on Friday arrested senior Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) official Nikhil Sosale from the Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru on Friday, June 6, 2025. The Bengaluru Police, on Friday, arrested Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Head of Marketing and Revenue, Nikhil Sosale, from the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru. Apart from Sosale, the employees of DNA Entertainment Network, Kiran Kumar (Senior Event Manager) and Sunil Mathew (Vice President - Business Affairs), were also arrested by the police. Meanwhile, a one-man judicial commission has also been formed to investigate the case. It is headed by retired Karnataka High Court judge Justice Michael D'Cunha. The commission has been asked to report in 30 days. Earlier, the state government as well as RCB announced a compensation of INR 10 lakh for the families of the deceased, while covering all medical expenses for the injured. The franchise have also created an 'RCB Cares' fund to support the injured.
