‘He disappointed me with his bowling changes': Virender Sehwag on MI captain Hardik Pandya
Former India batter Virender Sehwag was left disappointed by Hardik Pandya's decision to continue with Deepak Chahar for 2 more overs after the bowler had faced discomfort bowling his first due to a hamstring issue which led to strapping his leg during the match against Punjab Kings. Sehwag said that if Pandya had brought himself or Jasprit Bumrah to bowl the two overs instead of Chahar, Punjab could have been kept under pressure. 'I said this in the commentary box also that when Deepak Chahar had a problem with his hamstring, he made him bowl 2 overs. He had bowled a maiden in his first over but then conceded 28 runs from the next two overs. It was here where the match shifted in favour of Punjab. If he had given the ball to Bumrah or himself (Hardik) or Ashwani Kumar at that time, they wouldn't have conceded the 17 runs that went in that over. It would put the pressure on Punjab. As a captain he (Hardik) disappointed me with his bowling changes,' Sehwag said on Star Sports after the MI vs PBKS match. Mumbai let go of a golden chance to secure a place in Qualifier 1 when they lost to Punjab Kings by 7 wickets and they will now face off with either Royal Challengers Bengaluru or Gujarat Titans in the Eliminator, depending on RCB's result in the LSG match on Tuesday. #VirenderSehwag was clearly disappointed with Hardik's bowling changes! A tough night for #MI, and now just one shot left at the IPL final 👉 Qualifier 2, but who stands in their way?🤯 The answer lies in the #Race2Top2 decider 👉 #LSGvRCB | TUE, 27th MAY, 6:30 PM on Star… — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) May 27, 2025 Asked to bat first, MI scored 184 for seven and PBKS completed the chase of 185 with nine balls to spare. Priyansh Arya (62 off 35 balls) and Josh Inglis (73 off 42) struck sparkling half-centuries to lead Punjab Kings' chase.

Watch: GT Pacer Mohammed Siraj Sledges Nicholas Pooran, LSG Star's Reaction Leaves Crowd Buzzing
It was a terrific batting display from Lucknow Super Giants in their IPL 2025 match against Gujarat Titans at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Thursday. The team posted 235 for 2 in the stipulated 20 overs after getting an invitation to bat first. Mitchell Marsh was the wrecker-in-chief with a sensational century while Nicholas Pooran too played a fiery knock to help LSG post a massive total against GT. An interesting battle took place in the 16th over of the LSG innings that hogged limelight. GT pacer Mohammed Siraj was smashed for a four each by Marsh and then Pooran before he tried to sledge the southpaw. Siraj bowled two bouncers to Pooran. The first one was called a wide by the umpire while the second one was a dot ball. Siraj tried to poke Pooran through his words but the LSG southpaw didn't react to it and rather made his bat to the talk. As Siraj went up to Pooran and tried to sledge him, the batter just focussed on chewing his gum and walked towards the non-striker's end to have a chat with Marsh. Pooran then slammed Siraj for a stuning six over the cow corner and then smashed a four down the ground. After completing the shot for the last boundary, Pooran gave a flying kiss with his bat in the direction of Siraj.
