KKR have themselves to blame for IPL 2025 elimination: Aaron Finch

Aaron Finch feels that Kolkata Knight Riders have themselves to blame for their exit from the IPL 2025 in the group stages. KKR, who came into the competition as the defending champions, struggled to find consistency, despite retaining most of their core from last season. KKR was in a do-or-die situation after their loss to CSK at home before IPL 2025 was halted for a week and needed a win against RCB at the Chinnaswamy stadium on Saturday, May 17. However, the match got washed out with a delivery being bowled, meaning that KKR’s title defence came to an end. Speaking on Kuhl Fans Match Centre Live on JioHotstar, Finch said that the campaign didn’t start well for KKR and they fumbled the entry point for Andre Russell. The former Aussie skipper felt that the all-rounder wasn’t given enough chances to influence games. “It didn’t start well for them. Andre Russell, being the match-winner that he is and has been for such a long time, was batting too far down the order for much of the tournament. He simply wasn’t given the opportunities to influence games the way he can. They’ve only got themselves to blame,” said Finch. ‘Too many moments where KKR didn’t click’ Finch also pointed out to the CSK loss, saying that it was a game KKR had in their bag before letting it slip away. Finch felt that throughout the campaign, Kolkata failed to click at various moments. They almost kicked themselves after that last game against CSK – it was theirs to win. The match was almost wrapped up, and they still couldn’t cross the line, which turned out to be an incredible win for Chennai. Throughout the season, there were too many moments where KKR just didn’t click,” said Finch. KKR have one match left against SRH on Sunday, May 25 in Delhi. Kolkata has 12 points from 13 matches and will aim to finish on a high. Stay updated on IPL 2025 with India Today!

Catch of IPL 2024? Cameron Green produces superhuman effort to grab one-handed stunner

Catch of IPL 2024? Cameron Green produces superhuman effort to grab one-handed stunner

Image Source : SCREENGRAB Cameron Green’s spectacular catch. Royal Challengers Bengaluru all-rounder Cameron Green pulled off a one-handed stunner to dismiss Kolkata Knight Riders batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi. The Aussie star produced a superhuman effort at mid-wicket during his side’s clash against KKR at Eden Gardens to send everyone in awe. The catch took place in the 6th over bowled by Yash Dayal when No.3 Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Venkatesh Iyer were looking to carry the momentum of the hosts, who had made a fiery start but lost two quick wickets. Yash removed Sunil Narine on the second ball of the 6th over and then he got Angrish on the back of a stunner from Green. Coming from over the wicket, left-hander Dayal bowled a length ball angling into the right-hander Angrish. The batter looked to flick in over mid-wicket but did not find the best of the timings as it flew to the mid-wicket region where Green was stationed. Green back-tracked himself, stretched himself lept in the air with his right hand in the air to grab a stunning catch.  He fell onto the ground but completed a superhuman effort. RCB skipper Faf du Plessis and star batter Virat Kohli were chuffed to the bits and the team celebrated the fall of the third wicket in the powerplay itself.  Watch the Video here: On seeing this catch, netizens could not keep calm and took to social media to express their emotions. “Cameron Green will not do anything wrong today!” a user posted on X. “What just happened! Cameron Green you beauty. Catch of the season,” the social media account Bharat Army wrote on X. Here are some of the reactions.
