IPL 2025: MI's Rohit Sharma survives amid strong dusty breeze and raindrops in Jaipur
Match 50 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is shaping up to be a thrilling contest between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Mumbai Indians (MI). Not only is this a crucial match in terms of solidifying a spot in the Playoffs, but it's also becoming a challenging one due to unexpected climate changes that may impact the game. Dusty breeze in Jaipur First there was a brief interruption in play during the 1.1 over mark as a sudden dust storm swept through the stadium. A strong, dusty breeze caused visible discomfort, with Rohit Sharma appearing to get something in his eye. Fortunately, he recovered quickly and was ready to resume play. The unusual weather forced some MI players in the dugout to retreat indoors, and just as the dust began to settle, a few drops of rain keeps adding to the disruption. Dust Storm In Jaipur. Rohit Sharma survives As play resumed, drama unfolded in the 1.5 over when Fazalhaq Farooqi bowled a slower-length delivery targeting middle and leg. Rohit, caught off guard, was too early on his shot and the ball struck him on the back leg. The umpire raised his finger, but Rohit opted for a review at the last possible second. Ball-tracking showed that the delivery had just pitched outside leg stump—an incredibly close call that ultimately went in his favour of MI and the umpire had to overturn his on-field decision.

IPL 2025: Farooqi comes in as RR elect to bowl first against unchanged RCB
Bengaluru: Rajasthan Royals (RR) have brought in left-arm pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi as stand-in captain Riyan Parag won the toss and elected to bowl first against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Thursday. While RR, in eighth place in the points table, are aiming to break their four-match losing streak, RCB are searching for their first home win of IPL 2025. If RCB manages to finally win at Chinnaswamy Stadium, they will jump to third place in the points table. After winning the toss, Parag said Farooqi comes in for off-spinner Maheesh Theekshana. 'The wicket looks a bit sticky and should get better later on. It's back to our ethics now; if we can give our 100 percent, the results will take care of themselves. Sanju (Samson) bhai is recovering. We are taking it game by game and hopefully, he will be back soon,' he said. RCB skipper Rajat Patidar, who lost his fourth consecutive toss at home in IPL 2025, said his playing eleven is unchanged. 'We would have loved to bowl first as well. The surface has been tricky and unpredictable this season, and we will try to adapt as quickly as we can. We have to be good at shot selection,' he said. Before the toss, RR had handed a debut cap to uncapped wicketkeeper-batter Kunal Singh Rathore. With his name in the impact substitutes, it would be interesting to see if he comes in for the chase. The match will be played on the centre pitch, with the down the ground boundary at 73 metres while the square boundaries are at 64 metres. Playing XIs: Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar (capt), Romario Shepherd, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Tim David, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, and Yash Dayal Impact Substitutes: Suyash Sharma, Rasikh Salam, Manoj Bhandage, Jacob Bethell, and Swapnil Singh Rajasthan Royals: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubham Dubey, Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag (capt), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Wanindu Hasaranga, Jofra Archer, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Sandeep Sharma, and Tushar Deshpande Impact Substitutes: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Yudhvir Singh, Kumar Kartikeya, Akash Madhwal, and Kunal Singh Rathore.

UAE: ILT20 is getting bigger and better every year, says Shoaib Akhtar
With the ILT20 Season 3 inching closer to the mega finale on Sunday, Pakistan bowling great Shoaib Akhtar praised the quality of cricket teams have displayed at the tournament. 'The ILT20 is getting bigger and better every year. I am honoured to be part of the league for the second time. I think the numbers tell the truth when it comes to the TRPs and reach of the tournament. You can see the quality of players performing here,' Akhtar said during a press conference in Dubai. He also highlighted the depth of bowling talent in the league, and went on to underscore the performance of Fazalhaq Farooqi from MI Emirates, who leads as the highest wicket-taker amassing 21 wickets this season while Jason Holder picked up 17 wickets for Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. UAE's rising star and Gulf Giants all-rounder Aayan Afzal Khan too has been a fan-favourite with 10 wickets in his kitty while Pakistan's Khuzaima Bin Tanvir has been efficient for Desert Vipers with five wickets. 'I think Fazalhaq Farooqi is one of the greatest finds for Afghanistan. He is very good when it comes to the new ball and he is learning fast. I think he should look at the bigger picture in terms of playing for his country,' expressed Akhtar. 'Aayan also has a bright future in UAE cricket. The vision behind this league is to promote UAE cricket and this has been successfully achieved seeing the standout performances this season. Khuzaima (from Faisalabad) has also shown a lot of promise.' On being asked what he would advice the young and upcoming pacers, Akhtar said, 'I would like to see them bowl more aggressively and mix up fast bowling with bouncers and make sure that the batters are staying on the backfoot.' 'I have bowled around 23,000 balls and about 10,000 bouncers in my playing career. The stats show you how much I love aggressive, fast bowling. It's important to bowl in good areas, and in good length. That's what matters, that's what will make you take wickets,' he concluded.
