Kohli's Rare Duck After Six Years

This duck for Virat Kohli while chasing marks his first in the IPL in six years. The last time he was dismissed for a duck was in 2017 against KKR when RCB was bowled out for just 49 runs, the lowest score in league history. Prior to this, Kohli had been dismissed for a duck in 2023 against Rajasthan Royals.

Prince Yadav's Impressive IPL Season

Although the Lucknow Super Giants have not had a standout season, pace bowler Prince Yadav has made headlines. In his debut season, he has taken 16 wickets at an average of 18.69 across 10 matches. He ranks as the second-highest wicket-taker in the league after the first 50 matches, just one wicket behind the leader.

Captaincy Changes on the Horizon

Following the T20 World Cup victory, Suryakumar Yadav expressed ambitions to win again in 2028 and secure an Olympic medal. However, the BCCI and team management are reportedly planning to remove him from the captaincy.
