‘Dhoni barged into the ground but wasn't banned. Kohli argued with umpires many times': Sehwag questions Digvesh's ban
Former India opener Virender Sehwag blamed the BCCI for treating different players differently in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as far as punishments for breach of the Code of Conduct were concerned. Sehwag's observation came after Lucknow Super Giants leg-spinner Digvesh Singh Rathi was suspended for a match for his on-field scuffle with Abhishek Sharma during LSG's match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Abhishek was slapped with a fine and demerit points Sehwag said Digvesh's ban was harsh, as there have been past instances in the IPL involving big names like MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli, but the BCCI never suspended them. "I thought that the ban was a bit harsh. The boy is playing in his first year in the IPL. MS Dhoni had barged into the ground, he was not banned then. Virat Kohli has spoken to umpires in that tone, who knows how many times, he was also not banned. So, Digvesh Rathi could have been spared, because he is a young player, just coming into the scene, could have let that one go," Sehwag said, speaking on Cricbuzz. In an IPL 2019 match between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings, MS Dhoni entered the ground during CSK's chase to argue with the on-field umpires over a controversial no-ball call. The CSK captain got away with a fine on 50% fine on his match fees. Kohli, who has been involved in quite a few on-field arguments throughout the 18 years of IPL, was never suspended. Sehwag, however, missed one crucial point. Digvesh Rathi was not suspended because of that one incident with Abhishek Sharma. The LSG leg-spinner had already accumulated three demerit points for earlier Code of Conduct breaches that were deemed as Level 1 offences, mainly due to his over-the-top tick-the-notebook celebrations after dismissing opposition batters. The on-field scuffle with Abhishek Sharma, which was once sparked because of his notebook celebration, was Digvesh's third offence of the season, which took his total demerit points tally this season to five. "This was his third Level 1 offence under Article 2.5 this season and hence, he has accumulated two Demerit Points, in addition to three Demerit Points he had accumulated earlier - One Demerit Point against Punjab Kings on April 01, 2025 and two Demerit Points against Mumbai Indians on April 04, 2025. As he now has Five Demerit Points this season - which result in a one-game suspension - Digvesh will now be suspended for LSG's next game - against Gujarat Titans on May 22, 2025 in Ahmedabad," BCCI said. Whereas in Dhoni and Kohli's case, their demerit points tally never reached five for the BCCI to officially suspend them.

IPL 2025: Five questions Sunrisers Hyderabad have to answer ahead of next season
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) failed to live up to their standards in the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) as they finished sixth on the points table with six wins from 14 matches, having 12 points to their name. A season which began by posting the second-highest total in the tournament's history (286/6), it seemed that SRH will once again give nightmares to all teams by flexing their batting they failed to fire consistently throughout the season, which resulted in their batting getting crumbled time and again. As a result, the last year's runner ups were knocked out before the playoffs after failing to emulate their magic from 2024. As SRH aim to make a comeback next season, they will need to find answers to several questions to find the missing puzzles in their squad:1. Is ultra-aggressive approach fruitful every time?While SRH made merry on flat batting tracks in 2024 by consistently posting totals above 240, they faced an uphill task to find their rhythm on pitches which had some bite in them. As a result, they had to settle for below par score on a particular wicket, while being desperate to breach the 200-run mark. Going ahead, SRH need to re-look at their batting approach and plan their targets accordingly, as per the nature of the pitch.2. How to get contributions from middle and lower order?advertisement For SRH, the bulk of the scoring was done by Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen. While the trio played a few breathtaking innings, they failed to get the support from the middle and lower order and hence couldn't get a perfect finish to their innings. Hence, the team management need to instill confidence in their under performers to get the best out of them.3. Can Mohammed Shami return to his best?After SRH bought Shami for Rs 10 Crore at the mega auction, everyone expected t he veteran seamer to form a formidable new ball pair with Pat Cummins. However, Shami had an indifferent season with the ball as he could only scalp six wickets from nine innings. The speedster also looked out of rhythm, having recently recovered from his injuries. Heading into the next season, the SRH management will have to make a decision on Shami's retention after assessing his form and preparedness to play full season.4. Which is the ideal new ball pair?SRH didn't have a stable new-ball pair throughout the season as they were forced to make changes due to their misfiring bowling attack. By the end of the season, they found gems in the form of Jaydev Unadkat and Eshan Malinga, who consistently provided them with breakthroughs. Hence, heading into the next season, the team management need to finalise a potent new-ball, which can provide them with crucial breakthroughs in the powerplay and put the opposition on the backfoot.5. Finding a wicket-taking spinneradvertisementSRH were dealt a major blow early on in the season as Adam Zampa got ruled out due to a shoulder injury. His absence left a massive void in their team as they failed to find a wicket-taking spinner in the middle overs. Harsh Dubey came to their rescue right at the end of the tournament but their playoffs hopes were crushed by then. Hence, they need to go in with an attacking wicket-taking spinner, who can break partnerships in the middle updated on IPL 2025 with India Today!

IPL 2025 - From fire to falter! Sunrisers Hyderabad's rollercoaster ride
Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head There would have been few better contenders than Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) if a spot in the IPL 2025 playoffs were to be decided based on how well a team starts and finishes the campaign. While SRH slammed 286 in their league opener against Rajasthan Royals (RR), they smashed 231 and 278 respectively in their final two matches against RCB and KKR. SRH finished their campaign with a mammoth 110-run win and are currently sixth on the points table. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Unfortunately for SRH fans, the IPL 2025 playoffs race does take into account consistency, an area where the Pat Cummins-led side failed miserably. While SRH players like Cummins, Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen expressed great confidence in the side's ability to post a historic 300-run total, teams quickly figured out a solution to their ultra-aggressive approach. The Hyderabad-based franchise's triumph in their IPL 2025 opener was followed by a four-match losing streak against LSG, DC, KKR and GT. A win against PBKS failed to transform fortunes which majorly came back to haunt SRH. IPL 2025: Daniel Vettori explains Shami's struggles, Reddy's limited role While opposition bowling attacks managed to figure out a solution to keep the SRH batters quiet, the Hyderabad-based team also didn't enjoy batting-friendly wickets like IPL 2024. Even the conditions at their home ground weren't as expected making it even tougher for the batters. "It's been tricky and not easy for the batters," acknowledged SRH head coach Daniel Vettori . Another major reason behind the IPL 2024 finalists failing to make their presence felt was the performance of openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma . The duo set the stands on fire in IPL 2024, smashing 1,051 runs in 16 innings at a strike rate of 197.2 with 74 sixes. However, their overall tally reduced to 813 runs in 13 IPL 2025 matches at a strike rate of 177.9 with an alarming decline to 43 sixes. Their dot ball percentage in the current season stands at 37.2 which is certainly higher than IPL 2024's tally of 32.3%. Abhishek emerged as the better performer between the duo, smashing 439 runs in comparison to Head's 374. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? While Klaasen finishes as the team's top run-getter with 487 runs, even the South African battled a streak of inconsistency with his unbeaten 105 in the final match against KKR adding respectability. Similarly, Ishan Kishan started off with a ton in the first match but finishes with a tally of just 354 runs. Kishan particularly came into the limelight due to a brain-fade moment against MI where he walked off despite being not-out. The franchise badly missed the presence of an all-rounder like Shahbaz Ahmed who could provide stability down the order especially considering a poor campaign for Nitish Reddy, who scored 182 runs in 13 matches. 'Aggressive but smart': SRH coach Simon Helmot lauds balanced approach after RCB win Cummins and Harshal Patel finished as SRH's top wicket-takers with 16 wickets each, with the former making a late comeback having initially picked 10 wickets in as many matches. However, SRH badly missed the variety of left-arm pacer T Natarajan who had picked 19 wickets in IPL 2024, especially considering a poor display by Mohammad Shami who recorded six dismissals. An overall lack of balance in the squad buildup raised eyebrows, with the absence of an experienced spinner capable of throttling the opposition drawing attention. "With the calibre of the players we have, we can't play any worse than what we did earlier," said Cummins, summing up a season where SRH promised a lot but delivered precious little.

Travishek's start, Klaasen's Class: SRH's final game serves a reminder of an IPL season that could have been
SunRisers Hyderabad capped off their Indian Premier League 2025 season with a thundering performance against Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday, May 25. Playing their final game of the tournament, last year's finalists delivered a scintillating batting display, racking up the third-highest total in the history of the Klaasen starred with a tremendous 105*, an innings well-supported by Travis Head's 76 off 40 and Abhishek Sharma's 32 off 16. It was fittingly ironic that SRH would finish their season with a blistering batting performance—something they had threatened to do since the opening match. They began the IPL with a record-shaking 286, the second-highest total ever, and closed with the third between, however, SRH floundered in a manner few had predicted. The match against Kolkata Knight Riders served as a reminder of how fine the margins are in the IPL—and how a little luck can swing a season. Hyderabad, after an explosive start, were eventually undone by a rigid strategy. They had spoken all season about breaking the 300-run barrier, and in every game, they chased that with pitches offering more balance this year, their ultra-aggressive approach often backfired. By the time they adjusted, the playoff race had already slipped out of their hands—they needed to win every remaining match to stay in won four of their last six matches, with one game washed out. That abandoned match against Delhi Capitals likely would have gone their way as well—they had restricted the opposition to just 133 in the first that point reinforces what Pat Cummins emphasized in his final post-match press conference of the season: SRH should have made the final, given the squad they had at their FROM IPL 2025There was a noticeable shift in tone from SRH in how they approached their media duties this season. Last year, it was all about, 'We don't care about the losses; we'll aim for 250 every game.' But about 60% into the 2025 season, players and coaches started to realise that a one-dimensional, inflexible approach wasn't the smartest path admitted after the KKR game that they should've been willing to grind out scores in the 170–180 range instead of always going hard, which too often led to an SRH fan's perspective, the sight of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head absorbing pressure and then launching into big shots was a major positive. At the start of the season, the pair looked out of sync—even running each other out in the opening few fact that Ishan Kishan showed such commitment and delivered strong performances toward the end of the season might well earn him a retention spot next also unearthed a top all-rounder in Harsh Dubey and a promising pacer in Eshan Malinga—both of whom will add strength to the squad moving in all, the final three matches—against LSG, RCB, and KKR—offered a glimpse into what this season could have been for SRH. And, just as importantly, they lay the foundation for building a stronger, smarter team for next updated on IPL 2025 with India Today!
