Welcome to the sports corner of SRG Information Hub. If you love cricket, you’re in the right place. We’ve got two hot stories that are shaking up the game right now. Grab a coffee, settle in, and get the low‑down on what’s happening.
The first T20 International of the series in Mirpur turned into a Bangladeshi showcase. Pakistan were bowled out for just 110 runs – a first for them in a T20I. Taskin Ahmed sparked the collapse with 3 wickets for 22 runs, while Mustafizur Rahman added a stunning 2 for 6.
Chasing a modest total, Parvez Hossain Emon played the anchor role. He stayed unbeaten on 56, steering Bangladesh to a four‑wicket win in just 15.3 overs. The victory gave the hosts a 1‑0 lead and set the tone for the rest of the series.
Why does this matter? Dismissing Pakistan for under 120 is a rare feat, and it highlights Bangladesh’s growing bowling depth. For fans, it’s a reminder that any team can pull off a surprise when the right players hit form at the right time.
The IPL 2025 drama isn’t over yet. Ruturaj Gaikwad suffered a hairline fracture in his elbow, ending his season early. The injury forced Chennai Super Kings to turn to a familiar face – MS Dhoni – to captain the side once more.
Coach Stephen Fleming confirmed the MRI results showed a radial neck fracture, meaning Gaikwad is out for good this year. CSK have struggled so far, sitting ninth with only one win in five matches. Losing their second‑highest scorer only adds to the pressure.
Dhoni’s first match back is against Kolkata Knight Riders, and fans are already buzzing about his comeback. His experience could be the spark CSK need to climb out of the slump, but the road ahead is tough with away games looming.
What can readers take away? Injuries can change a team’s fortunes overnight, and veteran leadership often steps up when younger stars are sidelined. Keep an eye on how Dhoni handles the captaincy under pressure – it could shape the rest of the IPL season.
Both stories show how quickly cricket can swing. One day you’re celebrating a dominant bowling performance, the next you’re watching a legend return to the helm. That’s the excitement that keeps us glued to the game.
Stay tuned to SRG Information Hub for more updates, match analyses, and behind‑the‑scenes insights. We’ll keep breaking down the big moments so you never miss a beat.
