Kolkata Knight Riders beat Punjab Kings by five wi

Kolkata Knight Riders registered their fifth win of the season by defeating Punjab Kings by five wickets in the 53rd match of IPL 2023 on Monday.

<h2>Match Highlights</h2>

Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan won the toss and decided to bat first at Eden Gardens. He scored 58 in the powerplay but lost Prabhsimran Singh, Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Liam Livingstone in that innings. Dhawan then patched things up for Punjab in the middle overs, sharing a 53-run stand with Jitesh Sharma for the third wicket. Dhawan scored a 47-ball 57 before falling to his KKR counterpart Nitish Rana. PBKS struggled to get the momentum going till the last two overs in which Shah Rukh Khan and Harpreet Brar gave them a big boost. Those two overs yielded 36 runs, with 21 coming in the last, as Punjab Kings scored 179/7. Shahrukh was unbeaten on 21 off 8 balls while Brar was unbeaten on 17 off 9 balls. In reply, KKR were not able to get much momentum in the powerplay and now it has come to a point where they need more than 50 runs to win. Last five overs. However, Andre Russell turned the tables by hitting three sixes in the 19th over. KKR suddenly needed just six to win in the last over but Arshdeep Singh made sure it lasted till the very last ball. Rinku Singh hits a boundary to take KKR over the line.

Sachin Makes Sure The Pataudi Legacy Lives

Long known as the Pataudi Trophy, the historic <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/india-vs-england-test-series-2025-full-schedules-venues-full-squads-etc/2324" style="text-decoration:none">India tour of England Test series 2025</a> trophy was formally retired in June 2025 and replaced with the recently named Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. It is named after two modern Cricket greats: India&#39;s batting legend Sachin Tendulkar and England&#39;s all-time leading fast bowler James Anderson. It brings in a new era in this legendary rivalry.

The retirement of a trophy that honored the memory of Mansoor Ali Khan &quot;Tiger&quot; Pataudi and his father still created controversy among cricket circles. All-time great Kapil Dev of India called the action &quot;strange&quot; and &quot;surprising.&quot;

<h2>Sachin Tendulkar&#39;s Statement On This Renaming Of The Trophy</h2>

Tendulkar stated that he called the Pataudi family right away after hearing the board&#39;s decision. He told The Indian Express that &ldquo;My first call was to the family&mdash;to inform them and discuss how the legacy could be preserved&rdquo;.&nbsp;

Tendulkar highlighted, &ldquo;The Pataudi legacy has to be kept alive. Their contribution to Indian cricket inspires us all&rdquo;, which highlights the significance of recognizing the contemporary legends while also paying tribute to their efforts.

<h2>A New Era Honouring the Past</h2>

The <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/england-india-test-series-renamed-called-anderson-tendulkar-trophy/2323" style="text-decoration:none">Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy</a> has a lot of symbolic meaning. With 704 wickets in 188 games and 15,921 runs in 200 Tests, respectively, Anderson and Tendulkar are the most capped fast bowlers and batsmen in Test cricket, making them appropriate statistics to represent the sport&#39;s traditional format.

On June 18, 2025, the Bombay High Court upheld the 2015 arbitration decision by ordering the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to pay Kochi Tuskers Kerala a staggering ₹539 crore.

<h2>History of the Battle</h2>

Franchise Termination (2011): In September 2011, the contract of Kochi Tuskers Kerala (KTK), one of the two IPL expansion franchises in 2011, was canceled. KTK&#39;s owners denied the BCCI&#39;s claim that there had been a breach since a required bank guarantee had not been submitted.

2015 Appeal Verdict: A panel of judges decided that BCCI&#39;s dismissal was unlawful. The verdict showed that Rendezvous Sports World (RSW) would receive ₹153.3 crore and Kochi Cricket Pvt Ltd (KCPL) would receive ₹385.5 crore.

<h3>The decision of the High Court</h3>

Justice Riyaz I. Chagla highlighted the Arbitration Act&#39;s Section 34&#39;s confined judicial reach, stressing that judges can only deny arbitration verdicts for certain reasons and cannot reconsider their merits. He said that the award should not be withdrawn since the BCCI disagreed with the panel&#39;s judgment.

The tribunal&#39;s award was then confirmed by the court, which ordered immediate payment and gave BCCI six weeks to appeal.

Smiriti Mandhana Back In No. 1 In ICC Women’s ODI Ranking

India&rsquo;s fast and one of the best bowlers in India as well as the world, Jasprit Bumrah. Why has he not been made the India test captain in the upcoming <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/india-vs-england-test-series-2025-full-schedules-venues-full-squads-etc/2324" style="text-decoration:none">India tour of England 2025</a> or the India test captain?&nbsp;

Many thought Bumrah would be an obvious choice for the leadership position after he proved himself to be one of the top fast bowlers in the world and led India to a historic victory in the 2022 Edgbaston Test.

<a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/shubham-gill-appointed-new-india-test-captain/2291" style="text-decoration:none">Shubman Gill will lead</a> India in the 5-match Test series against England in 2025. Begins from June 20. After Rohit Sharma retired from the Indian Test captaincy, Virat Kohli retired in May 2025. 

There are many reasons of Bumrah is not considered the test captain of India.

<h2>Reason Behind Not Concerned Bumrah</h2>

<h3>Workload Management</h3>

Ajit Agarkar, chief selector, stated that it was unclear if Bumrah would be available for all five Test matches. Rather than overloading Bumrah with captaincy responsibilities, he underlined the importance of maintaining his fitness.&nbsp;

Ajit stated: &ldquo;He&rsquo;s more important to us as a player&hellip; we&rsquo;d rather have him bowling as well as he does, than putting that extra burden on him.&rdquo;

<h3> 
Injury Risk</h3>

 
Bumrah&#39;s past back issues are a major concern. Experts like Ravi Shastri said that he might not be able to continue playing bowling as long as he takes on the role of captain. Former pacer Shane Bond suggested limiting Bumrah to two Test matches in a row in England in order to prevent the same thing from happening again.

<h3>Personal Decision to Decline</h3>

Latest reports state that Bumrah himself chose to go, putting his bowling role and long-term performance ahead of captaincy. According to reports, he explained to selectors why he quit by saying he &quot;won&rsquo;t be able to play&quot; the workload of captaincy for an entire series.

<h3>Preference for Long-Term Batter Leaders</h3>

The development of a long-term leadership crop among batsmen seems to be the main goal of India&#39;s plan. Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill were thought to be more environmentally friendly options. The 25-year-old Gill offers maturity from his time as an IPL captain and his previous experience as a white-ball vice-captain. Pant also became a strong candidate for the position of vice captain.

In the first-ever triple Super Over in men&#39;s international or recognized limited-overs cricket, the Netherlands defeated Nepal in a men&#39;s professional Twenty20 International on June 16, 2025, in Glasgow. 
&nbsp;

<h2>Match Summary</h2>

<h3>Regular Play</h3>

In their 20 overs, the Netherlands, who batted first, scored 152 for 7.&nbsp;Nepal appeared to be winning after chasing 153 until Nandan Yadav&#39;s heroics in the closing moments, when he smashed two boundaries off the last delivery to tie the match and force a Super Over.

&nbsp;

<h3>First Super Over</h3>

With two sixes and a boundary from Kushal Bhurtel, Nepal scored 19 runs.&nbsp;Max O&#39;Dowd responded by securing the tie with a six and a boundary off the last ball, which led to a second Super Over.

&nbsp;

<h3>Second Super Over</h3>

The Netherlands scored 17 runs when they batted first, with captain Scott Edwards scoring 16 off six balls.&nbsp;With a first-ball six from Rohit Paudel and a late six from Dipendra Airee, Nepal equaled that total once more. This match saw the first-ever third Super Over.

&nbsp;

<h3>Third Super Over</h3>

Zach Lion-Cachet, an off-spinner for the Netherlands who won Player of the Match, ran out Nepal after two wickets fell without a run. Only one run was required by the Netherlands. The long match ended suddenly when Michael Levitt demoralized the opposition with a six off the first ball.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h2>A Historic Triple Super Over Thriller In T20I</h2>

On paper, this match breaks all previous records as the first men&#39;s professional cricket match (T20I or List A) to enter a third Super Over.&nbsp;This is the height of the excitement and unpredictability of T20 cricket.&nbsp;Before this, India vs. Afghanistan in January 2023 was the only other Twenty20 International to advance to a second Super Over.

&nbsp;

<a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/india-vs-england-test-series-2025-full-schedules-venues-full-squads-etc/2324" style="text-decoration:none">India&#39;s tour of England 2025</a> presents Jasprit Bumrah with a fantastic opportunity to solidify his place in cricket history further. Bumrah is not just India&#39;s most potent weapon in English conditions, but he is also set to reach many significant milestones after returning to form and leading the pace attack.

<h2>Record Bumrah Will Create In England Tour 2025</h2>

<h3>First Indian bowler to reach 150 Test wickets in SENA countries</h3>

In SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia) nations, Bumrah now has 145 wickets, which is only five shy of 150. No other fast bowler from India did this. He will surpass greats like Zaheer Khan and Anil Kumble to become the first Indian to take 150 Test wickets in SENA countries if he takes those five wickets.

<h3>India&rsquo;s all‑time leading wicket‑taker in England</h3>

Bumrah is fast approaching Ishant Sharma&#39;s record of 51 wickets, the most by an Indian in England, with 37 Test wickets. Bumrah may finish the tour as India&#39;s most successful Test bowler on English soil if he bowls at his current average and plays three to four of the five-match Test series. 
&nbsp;

<h3>Best-ever Test figures by an Indian in England</h3>

Ishant Sharma&#39;s 7/74 at Lord&#39;s in 2014 stands as the greatest bowling figures ever recorded by an Indian in an English Test innings. Bumrah&#39;s current best in England is 5/64, but with his current form and level of fitness, he might smash this record and set a new career-best under these conditions.
