The game was held at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.</p>
  63. <p>Brevis added great energy to the CSK team. After playing a fantastic innings with the bat, he took an excellent catch to dismiss Shashank Singh, showing his all-round skills in the match.</p>
  64. <p>On the 3rd ball of the 18th over, Ravindra Jadeja bowled a length delivery, and Shashank Singh pulled the ball while going on the back foot. The ball looked like it might go over Dewald Brevis, who was stationed at deep mid-wicket, but Brevis made a brilliant effort.</p>
  65. <p>He was fully aware of his position and made a fantastic catch. First, he caught the ball inside the field, then tossed it up in the air. While still in the air, he flicked the ball back inside the boundary, stepped back in, and completed the catch.</p>

  74. <p>Dewald Brevis had a solid performance in the game, scoring 32 runs off 26 balls. The right-hander batted with a strike rate of over 123, hitting two fours and one six during his innings.</p>
  75. <p>However, his effort wasn’t enough as Punjab Kings won the match by 4 wickets. With this loss, Chennai Super Kings became the first team to be officially eliminated from the IPL 2025.</p>
  76. <p>Punjab Kings batter Prabhsimran Singh, who scored a fifty, spoke about his partnership and said he wanted to take his time, while his partner did the same. He also praised the environment created by the coach and captain. He said:</p>
  77. <p>&#8220;<em>Both of us (himself and Priyansh Arya) have been batting well. The wicket was a bit slow today so I decided to take my time while he took his chances. Today I took the responsibility after he got out early. We were told before the season that we would be opening the batting together.&#8221;</em></p>
  78. <p><em>&#8220;Wasn&#8217;t too concerned about the asking rate, Shreyas (Iyer) was also at the crease and batting well. I know that even if I hit 35-40 runs it is good for the team if it is in a winning cause. I want to keep going when I get starts. The credit goes to the coach and captain for creating a great environment.&#8221;</em></p>

  147. <p>Shreyas Iyer brought Yuzvendra Chahal back to bowl his third over in the 19th over of the innings when Chennai Super Kings&#8217; big hitters MS Dhoni and Shivam Dube were at the crease.</p>
  148. <p>Chahal began with a wide and then got hit for a six by Dhoni. But he made a strong comeback by getting Dhoni out on the very next ball.</p>
  149. <p>On the third ball, Deepak Hooda took two runs. Then Chahal showed his class — he bowled a full toss that Hooda hit straight to Priyansh Arya for a catch. Next, Chahal bowled out Anshul Kamboj with a brilliant delivery, and on the final ball, he got Noor Ahmad out to complete an incredible hat-trick.</p>
  150. <p>Chahal celebrated the moment with his famous pose. This was his second hat-trick in IPL history, the first one coming when he played for the Rajasthan Royals.</p>

While numerous batsmen, including Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, C Andre Siddanth and many other batsmen have undoubtedly risen to fame after their successful batting exploits in the ongoing IPL 2025 edition, the annihilating bowlers, including Prasidh Krishna, Digvesh Rathi and many others have also garnered immense fame for their deadly bowling attacks even under high-pressure situations.</p>
  212. <p>Well, if you’re an Indian Premier League aficionado, you would most definitely agree that picking up a wicket in the first over of the match undoubtedly gives a tactical advantage to the squad by disrupting the opening partnerships and breaking the opposing team’s momentum.</p>
  213. <p>In this article we will take a look at the top four bowlers who have dominated their opponent teams after picking up the highest number of wickets in the first over of the IPL.</p>

  270. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MS Dhoni, the captain of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), gave a big clue about his future in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He said he hasn&#8217;t yet decided whether he will play in the next season or not.</p>
  271. <h3>MS Dhoni Hints at Uncertainty Over IPL Future</h3>
  272. <p>Chennai Super Kings are playing against Punjab Kings in the 49th match of IPL 2025. The match is happening at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday, 30th Apri</p>
  273. <p>As always, MS Dhoni got a loud and warm welcome from the crowd at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The fans cheered wildly for him, and they got even more excited when presenter Danny Morrison asked if he would play next year.</p>
  274. <p>Danny Morrison asked: &#8220;Look at the reception. Does this mean you&#8217;re coming back next year as well?&#8221; Replying to this, MS Dhoni said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m coming for the next game (laughs).&#8221;</p>
  275. <p>MS Dhoni also discussed the team’s performance, admitting that they haven’t been able to take advantage of the home conditions.</p>
  276. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  277. <p>He was honest about the team&#8217;s uncharacteristic performance this season, mentioning that they have been making many changes. Speaking at the toss, he said:</p>
  278. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  279. <p>&#8220;One of the things is the pride factor. Majority of the games you play at home. Home advantage is very important which we haven&#8217;t been able to capitalise on. Same team. We&#8217;ve been a side where we don&#8217;t make a lot of changes. But this season we&#8217;ve made a lot of changes.</p>
  280. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  281. <p>&#8220;Reason is simple. If most of your players are doing well, then you chop and change 1-2 players. But this season it hasn&#8217;t worked for us. It&#8217;s also the first season after a fresh auction. So you have something in mind but you have to see where a batter is suited better.&#8221;</p>
  282. <h3>Clues Pointing to MS Dhoni&#8217;s Possible Retirement in IPL 2025</h3>
  283. <p>There was a lot of talk that IPL 2025 could be MS Dhoni&#8217;s last season, with many clues pointing to it. Before the season, he was spotted wearing a shirt with &#8220;One last time&#8221; written in Morse code.</p>
  284. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  285. <p>In one of the Chennai Super Kings&#8217; games at Chepauk, a video of his wife saying &#8220;His last game&#8221; went viral while his parents were in the stands. However, MS Dhoni has left everyone unsure about his future, and it’s unclear whether he will play next season.</p>
  286. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  287. <p>Dhoni has struggled this season. As a captain, he hasn&#8217;t been very successful, and he hasn&#8217;t been able to score many runs either. He has batted slowly and later in the order, which has led to a lot of criticism.</p>

  312. <h3>FIFA World Cup&#8217;s Birthday Tribute to Rohit Sharma</h3>
  313. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  314. <p>Rohit, who is the captain of India’s ODI and Test teams, turned 38 on Wednesday, April 30. His cricket journey has seen amazing successes and tough times, but it’s still one of the most inspiring stories in Indian cricket.</p>
  315. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  316. <p>FIFA World Cup posted a picture on their Instagram showing India captain Rohit Sharma holding the T20 World Cup, in a scene similar to when Argentina’s captain Lionel Messi lifted the FIFA World Cup after beating Brazil in the final in Qatar.</p>
  317. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  318. <h3>Early Days and Rise in International Cricket</h3>
  319. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  320. <p>Rohit Sharma began his journey in international cricket on June 23, 2007, and quickly impressed with his talent and adaptability, playing a key role in India’s T20 World Cup victory that same year. Over time, he has grown into one of the most fearless and dependable opening batters in world cricket.</p>
  321. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  322. <p>He stepped into Test cricket in 2013 and has since built a solid career. In 67 Test matches across 116 innings, Rohit has scored 4,301 runs at an average of 40.57. His highest score is 212, and he has 12 centuries and 18 fifties to his name. He also leads India’s run tally in the ICC World Test Championship with 2,716 runs in 40 matches, which includes nine centuries and eight fifties.</p>
  323. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  324. <p>In ODIs, Rohit ranks as India’s fourth-highest run-scorer of all time and is 10th overall in global rankings. As captain, he guided India to a Champions Trophy win in 2025 and took them to the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup after an impressive 10-match winning run. Under his leadership, India has won 42 of the 56 ODIs he has captained, losing only 12.</p>
  325. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  326. <p>Though he has retired from T20 internationals, Rohit ended on a high note by leading India to the T20 World Cup title in 2024. India went unbeaten in the tournament and beat South Africa in the final held in Barbados.</p>
  327. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  328. <p>Currently playing in the 2025 IPL season, Rohit remains a vital figure in franchise cricket. He is widely regarded as one of the finest IPL captains, having led the Mumbai Indians to five championship wins &#8211; the joint-most in the league’s history.</p>

  362. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-139088 aligncenter" src="https://sportsdigest.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_2981.webp" alt="Top 3 Unbelievable Facts About Tennis Equipment and Technology" width="1200" height="675" srcset="https://sportsdigest.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_2981.webp 1200w, https://sportsdigest.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_2981-300x169.webp 300w, https://sportsdigest.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_2981-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://sportsdigest.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_2981-768x432.webp 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
  363. <p id="isPasted">Well, over the past few decades, tennis racquets have undergone a significant transformation and are currently looked upon as much more than mere equipment used by top-notch players to play the game. Numerous tennis racquets, including Babolat Play Pure Drive, offer cutting-edge technology of sensors and tracking tools that actively detect the shot types, RPM (revolutions per minute) rate and the major impact location-strings—center, top edge, or off-center.</p>
  364. <p>All the data recorded during the matches and practice sessions is automatically shared on the selected device via Bluetooth, which allows the players and coaches to fully analyse the patterns and make date-driven improvements to strengthen the players’ performance on the tennis court against opponents. Over the years, numerous prominent tennis players, including Rafael Nadal, Caroline Wozniacki, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and many others, have been spotted using Babolat Play Pure Drive racquets.</p>

  371. <p id="isPasted">Unlike traditional tennis shoes, modern-day tennis shoes are far more advanced and are manufactured with top-notch precision to match specific court surfaces. Tennis shoes are currently designed to optimize a player&#8217;s performance and protect their body across different court surfaces, including clay (French Open), grass (Wimbledon) and hard courts (Australian Open, U.S. Open). The majority of tennis players rely on maximum cushioning to reduce stress on knees and ankles on hard courts and prioritise responsiveness and lateral stability for quick directional changes on clay and grass courts.</p>
  372. <p>Over the years, numerous prominent tennis players, including Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, have been spotted wearing their court-specific and highly advanced tennis shoes in their most crucial tennis tournaments. With active input from biomechanics experts, engineers, and the seasoned tennis players themselves, modern shoe manufacturers now adapt technologies that help the players with levelling up their game against the odds of weather and surfaces.

  534. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="174" data-end="415">Things are heating up in The Judgment Day, and it&#8217;s not just about their entrance gear. Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio have been looking at each other a lot lately, and fans are wondering if we are about to see The Judgment Day break apart.</p>
  535. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="417" data-end="720">When everyone in the group has a title, everything runs smoothly. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez just won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles on RAW, and Dirty Dom walked out of WrestleMania 41 with the Intercontinental Championship. But poor Finn has nothing. No title, no glory, just growing frustration.</p>
  536. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="722" data-end="976">And if history has taught us anything, it&#8217;s that Finn Balor without a title is a ticking time bomb. Remember when jealousy ended his friendship with Damian Priest? That didn’t end well. So, here are four signs that Finn may soon turn on Dominik Mysterio.</p>
  537. <h3 style="text-align: justify" data-start="978" data-end="1046"><strong data-start="978" data-end="1046">4. Dominik Mysterio pinned Finn Balor to win the IC Championship</strong></h3>
  538. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="1048" data-end="1282">When friends become enemies, it’s usually only a matter of time. Going into the Fatal Four-Way match at WrestleMania 41, the plan was simple: keep the title in the family, no matter who won. But plans like that come with hidden costs.</p>
  539. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="1284" data-end="1461">Dominik Mysterio did his job, sure. He pinned Finn Balor to win the Intercontinental Championship. That’s the kind of loss that doesn’t just hurt egos; it also breaks alliances.</p>
  540. <h3 style="text-align: justify" data-start="1463" data-end="1526"><strong data-start="1463" data-end="1526">3. Dominik’s age and Finn’s experience will create tensions</strong></h3>
  541. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="1528" data-end="1674">Finn Balor has started wearing shirts that remind fans he’s been in WWE for nearly a decade. He’s the longest-standing member of The Judgment Day.</p>
  542. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="1676" data-end="2019">Dominik was always seen as the younger brother, and his ideas were often mocked or ignored. Even though the group’s dynamics have changed, Balor still treats Dominik like a kid. Phrases like &#8220;When we listen to Finn, we win&#8221; show that only Finn’s ideas matter. He’s already tired of others&#8217; ideas, and this could lead to Finn betraying Dominik.</p>
  543. <h3 style="text-align: justify" data-start="2021" data-end="2070"><strong data-start="2021" data-end="2070">2. Finn was surprised by JD McDonagh’s return</strong></h3>
  544. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="2072" data-end="2263">After WrestleMania, RAW and SmackDown are the usual places for wrestlers to make comebacks. This year, Rusev and Sami Zayn returned. Stephanie Vaquer, Giulia, and Roxanne Perez also appeared.</p>
  545. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="2265" data-end="2580">JD McDonagh also returned after being injured during a championship match. Finn Balor was shocked when McDonagh appeared during Dominik’s match on RAW and helped him retain the <a href="http://www.wwe.com/titlehistory/intercontinental-championship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Intercontinental Championship</a>. The fact that McDonagh didn’t tell Finn he was coming back could be the final reason Finn turns on Dominik.</p>
  546. <h3 style="text-align: justify" data-start="2582" data-end="2639"><strong data-start="2582" data-end="2639">1. The Judgment Day always betrays someone eventually</strong></h3>
  547. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="2641" data-end="2840">The Judgment Day has times of success, followed by moments of trouble. The group’s existence is cyclical, and Finn Balor is the longest-standing member. All the original members have been thrown out.</p>
  548. <p class="" style="text-align: justify" data-start="2842" data-end="3162">Finn may want to kick Dominik out of the group, but he has fewer supporters than Dominik. When Edge, Ripley, and Priest were excluded from the group, everyone was on board. But now that Dominik is having the same success as Balor with a tag title, it’s only a matter of time before Finn’s jealousy makes him take action.</p>

  628. <p>Oscar Piastri is currently leading the F1 championship and was one of the many global superstars who took a break to congratulate the young gun in the Rajasthan Royals. Piastri&#8217;s tribute was simple yet powerful. He shared a reel from the IPL 2025 to his Instagram story and wrote &#8220;14&#8221;, highlighting Vaibhav&#8217;s young age, but record-breaking innings.</p>
  629. <h2><strong>Vaibhav Suryavanshi&#8217;s Record-Breaking Innings</strong></h2>

  631. <p>Suryavanshi&#8217;s innings was nothing short of a miracle as he scored 101 runs off just 38 balls and became the youngest player in both IPL and T20 history to score a century. His innings included 11 sixes and seven fours, with a strike rate of nearly 265, rewriting the record books and leaving fans, experts, and even seasoned international players in disbelief.</p>
  632. <p>His innings were not just a personal milestone but also helped Rajasthan Royals chase down their target with eight wickets and secure a much-needed win for a challenging season.</p>
  633. <h2><strong>Oscar Piastri&#8217;s Connection With Cricket</strong></h2>
  634. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-139101" src="https://sportsdigest.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Oscar-Piastri-2.webp" alt="F1 Star Oscar Piastri Applauds Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s Record-Breaking Innings" width="1200" height="675" srcset="https://sportsdigest.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Oscar-Piastri-2.webp 1200w, https://sportsdigest.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Oscar-Piastri-2-300x169.webp 300w, https://sportsdigest.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Oscar-Piastri-2-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://sportsdigest.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Oscar-Piastri-2-768x432.webp 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
  635. <p>Oscar Piastri&#8217;s recognition was not just a random act. It stems from his deep and genuine love for cricket. Growing up in Australia, his love for cricket is inarguable. He has attended several high-profile matches. His interest extends beyond the stands, and he has played friendly matches as well. He follows the IPL very closely and offers support to teams with strong Australian players.</p>
  636. <p>Last year, too, he publicly chose Delhi Capitals as his favoured IPL team, thanks to the presence of Ricky Pointing, and this season, he has shown support for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Cummins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pat Cummins</a> lead Sunrisers Hyderabad. His applause for a Vaibhav Suryavanshi is more than just a social media post, it&#8217;s a sign of mutual respect between the two young sports stars.</p>
