Rajasthan Royals vs Punjab Kings: DRS unavailable briefly after Prabhsimran's dismissal; glitch hits start of 5th over in Jaipur clash
By News Desk Published on May 18, 2025, 16:07 IST
During match 59 of IPL 2025 between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, a brief technical glitch disrupted the Decision Review System (DRS). As confirmed by commentators, DRS was unavailable for around four deliveries at the start of the 5th over of the Punjab Kings' innings.
However, DRS was operational just moments before the glitch when Prabhsimran Singh was dismissed in the 4th over. He was caught down the leg side by Sanju Samson off Tushar Deshpande after scoring a quickfire 21 from 10 balls, including 3 fours and a six. The dismissal was reviewed and upheld, helping Rajasthan Royals remove a key threat during the powerplay.
At the end of 7 overs, Punjab Kings are 67 for 3: Priyansh Arya: 9 (7) – c Hetmyer b Tushar Deshpande
Prabhsimran Singh (wk): 21 (10) – c Samson b Tushar Deshpande
Mitchell Owen: 0 (2) – c Samson b Kwena Maphaka
Nehal Wadhera: 18* (10)
Shreyas Iyer (c): 15* (13)
Extras: 4 (lb 4)
Total: 67/3 in 7 overs
Fall of wickets: 19-1 (Priyansh Arya, 1.5), 34-2 (Mitchell Owen, 2.6), 34-3 (Prabhsimran Singh, 3.1)
The Punjab Kings opted to bat first in this critical encounter.

TNPL 2025, ITT vs CSG: Comedy of errors helps Chepauk Super Gillies steal two runs amid confusion
By News Desk Published on June 6, 2025, 21:48 IST Chepauk Super Gillies found an unexpected moment of luck during the 7th over of their chase against IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans in the Tamil Nadu Premier League 2025 match at Coimbatore on Thursday evening. At the end of seven overs, Chepauk Super Gillies stood at 71/2 in pursuit of a target of 174. The equation read 103 runs needed from 78 balls. Vijay Shankar (2 off 2 balls) and Baba Aparajith (15 off 14 balls) were at the crease when a comedy of errors unfolded on the final ball of the over. Sai Kishore, who had just dismissed Mokit Hariharan earlier in the over, delivered the last ball to Vijay Shankar. Shankar played the ball with soft hands and called for a quick single. The fielder came in and attempted an underarm throw at the keeper's end, hitting the stumps directly. However, the ball ricocheted off the stumps and rolled towards the third-man boundary. Both batters were caught mid-pitch in a classic case of yes-no hesitation, unsure whether to attempt a second run on the overthrow. Meanwhile, the wicketkeeper quickly retrieved the ball and fired it towards the bowler's end. In another twist, Sai Kishore failed to collect the throw cleanly, giving the batters enough time to complete the second run. The chaotic sequence brought some light-hearted relief to the contest and helped Chepauk Super Gillies inch ahead with an additional run. At the end of the over, Chepauk Super Gillies were 71 for 2 in 7 overs with Baba Aparajith on 15 (14) and Vijay Shankar on 2 (2). Sai Kishore completed his over with figures of 2-0-15-1. News desk at

Indian police arrest two after deadly cricket stampede: reports
Indian police arrested two people including a senior executive at Royal Challengers Bengaluru, reports said Friday, after 11 fans were crushed to death during celebrations for the team's first IPL title. Hundreds of thousands packed the streets in the southern city of Bengaluru on Wednesday to welcome home their hero Virat Kohli and his RCB cricket team after they beat Punjab Kings in the final of the Indian Premier League. But the euphoria of the vast crowds ended in disaster when 11 mainly young fans died in a stampede near M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, where the players were parading the trophy. Karnataka state's Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said Friday he had directed police to arrest the representatives of RCB, event organisers DNA, and Karnataka State Cricket Association. While there has been no official confirmation of the arrests, Siddaramaiah said a first information report, which marks the start of a police investigation, had been "registered against them". Media outlet India Today said that Nikhil Sosale, RCB's head of marketing, was arrested at Bengaluru's airport. The Indian Express newspaper also reported Sosale was arrested along with an executive from an event management company. The deaths have sparked widespread anger, and top police officers including the city's police commissioner have been suspended. Local media reported that the accusations include culpable homicide, not amounting to murder, among others. There was no immediate comment from RCB. - 'Made to pay' - Siddaramaiah, who only uses one name, also pointed the finger at some senior police. "These officers appear to be irresponsible and negligent and it has been decided to suspend them," Siddaramaiah said. The dead were aged between 14 and 29, and were among a sea of people who had poured onto the streets to catch a glimpse of their heroes. RCB offered financial aid of $11,655 to each family of the victims, calling the deaths "unfortunate". Indian media have widely reported the team earned $2.3 million in prize money alone for taking the title on Wednesday. Kohli, who top-scored in the final, said he was "at a loss for words" after the celebrations of a first IPL crown turned to tragedy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the accident "absolutely heartrending". Siddaramaiah has said that the stadium had a capacity of 35,000 people "but 200,000-300,000 people came". Deadly crowd incidents are a frequent occurrence at Indian mass events such as religious festivals due to poor crowd management and safety lapses. "The grim truth is that the fan, who drives the commerce of every sport, is the last priority for administrators," The Hindu newspaper wrote in its editorial on Friday. "Asphyxia was the primary cause of death besides injuries suffered in the stifling rush," it added. The pioneering IPL sold its broadcast rights in 2022 for five seasons to global media giants for an eye-popping $6.2 billion, putting it up amongst the highest-ranked sport leagues in cost-per-match terms. "The world's richest cricket tournament can't cut corners when it comes to fans' safety," the Indian Express newspaper wrote in an editorial. "A fitting tribute to those dead, therefore, is not mere signing a cheque but holding those in charge responsible -- ensuring that heads roll, and those who dropped the ball Wednesday are made to pay." ash/pjm/fox

Kohli ‘absolutely gutted' as 11 die in Bengaluru cricket stadium stampede
Virat Kohli said he was lost for words after celebrations of a dream IPL title turned to tragedy, when 11 mainly young cricket fans were crushed to death in Bengaluru. Hundreds of thousands had packed the streets on Wednesday to welcome home their hero Kohli and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) after they had beaten Punjab Kings a day earlier in a thrilling Indian Premier League final. But the euphoria of the vast crowds in the southern tech city of Bengaluru ended in disaster, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi calling it 'absolutely heartrending'. Karnataka state Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said most of the 11 dead were young people, and 47 others were injured in the crush after a stampede near the city's M. Chinnaswamy cricket stadium, where the players were parading the trophy for fans. Kohli, who top-scored in the final, said earlier it had been 'as much for the fans' after the 36-year-old finally celebrated winning the IPL at his 18th attempt. Later, Kohli wrote on social media: 'At a loss for words. 'Absolutely gutted,' he added, alongside a statement from the RCB team saying they were 'deeply anguished' at what had unfolded. One of the people injured described to the AFP news agency how a 'huge crowd' had crushed her. 'They stamped on me,' said the woman, who did not give her name, from a wheelchair. 'I was not able to breathe. I fell unconscious.' Most of the dead were young fans who had gone out just to catch a glimpse of their sporting heroes. Street food vendor Manoj Kumar mourned the death of his 18-year-old son, killed in the stampede, who he said he had stopped from working on his stall so he could study. 'I wanted him to go to college,' Kumar told The Indian Express newspaper. 'I brought him up with a lot of care. Now, he is gone.' A grieving mother outside a city mortuary said her 22-year-old engineering student son had also died in the crush. 'He was crazy about RCB,' she was quoted as saying by the Indian Express on Thursday. 'He died in an RCB shirt. They danced when RCB won and now he is gone. Can RCB give him back to us?' Authorities had already called off RCB's proposed open-top bus victory parade through the streets after anticipating vast crowds. But organisers pressed ahead with the welcome ceremony and celebrations inside the stadium. RCB's social media account posted a video of cheering crowds lining the streets as the players waved back from their team bus on their way to the stadium. The team said they cut short the celebrations 'immediately upon being made aware of the situation'. Siddaramaiah said the stadium had a capacity of 'only 35,000 people, but 200,000-300,000 people came'. Earlier, Bengaluru had erupted in midnight celebrations after their team RCB, who scored 190-9, restricted Punjab to 184-7 and won the world cricket's most lucrative tournament on Tuesday night. India's IPL mega-tournament final was watched by 91,000 fans packed into the stadium in Ahmedabad – and many millions more on television. Bengaluru fans celebrated wildly after their hero Kohli and RCB clinched victory for the first time in the 18 years of the IPL, their three previous finals having all ended in defeat. Deadly crowd incidents are a frequent occurrence at Indian mass events such as religious festivals due to poor crowd management and safety lapses. A stampede at India's Kumbh Mela religious fair in January this year killed 30 people and injured several others. In July last year, 121 people were killed in northern Uttar Pradesh state during a Hindu religious gathering.
