Revenge taken at the right spot. Digvesh Rathi again tasted his own medicine. This time it was Suyash Sharma who taught Rathi the lesson. 

Outer Delhi Warriors and South Delhi Superstarz were up against each other for the 22nd match of the Delhi Premiere League (DPL 2025). Suyash was playing for Outer Delhi Warriors, and Rathi was from South Delhi Superstarz. Since the IPL 2025, when Digvesh started to perform for Lucknow Super Giants, his 'notebook' celebration took the center of the stage. Being a spinner, his aggressive nature of bowling and wicket-taking celebration was something new cricket fans were then witnessing. Despite repeated controversial moments regarding his body language and notebook celebration, Rathi did not show any intention to retire his infamous gesture after clinching a batter from the crease. 

After the IPL 2025 campaign, Digvesh continues his entertaining run in the ongoing DPL 2025 too. During the 22nd match of the tournament, he took a couple of wickets against 36 runs in his 4-over quota. Keshav Dabas and Outer Delhi Warriors skipper Harsh Tyagi fell short against the spinner, and as usual, he pulled out his notebook for a celebration.

Who got the last laugh?

Suyash Sharma, in the second innings of the match, took revenge by claiming two wickets of the South Delhi Superstarz. Rathi took the wicket of Outer Delhi Warriors' captain, while Sharma got the wicket of South Delhi Superstarz leader Ayush Badoni. Manish Sehrawat also was not able to stand against the spinner. Through his wicket-taking celebration, Suyash signaled tearing apart the 'notebook.'

Though, Rathi got the last laugh as South Delhi Superstarz won the match by 3 wickets. Tejasvi Dahiya played a match, winning 70* off 33 while chasing a target of 140. 

Tejasvi Dahiya lit up the night with a stunning unbeaten 70 off just 30 balls, guiding South Delhi Superstarz to a thrilling three-wicket win over Outer Delhi Warriors in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) Season 2 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The rain-hit game was reduced to 16 overs a side.

Chasing 140, the Superstarz were in trouble early, losing three key batters including skipper Ayush Badoni in the first five overs. The pressure grew in the 10th over when set batter Anmol Sharma was dismissed, leaving them still more than 70 runs away with only six overs left.

That’s when Tejasvi took charge. Walking in at No. 5, he attacked from the start, sending the ball to all parts of the ground. With seven runs needed off the last two balls, he smashed a huge six and followed it with another big hit to win the match. His knock had 4 boundaries and 6 towering sixes. Sumit Kumar Beniwal added valuable runs with a quickfire 19 from seven balls.

For the Warriors, Suyash Sharma and Anshuman Hooda picked up two wickets each, while Harsh Tyagi was miserly, conceding only 15 runs in his three overs and taking one wicket.

Earlier, batting first, the Warriors couldn’t build long partnerships. Dhruv Singh top-scored with 42 off 31 balls, hitting 4 fours and 2 sixes. Sanat Sangwan made a quick 26 from 14 balls, and Shivam Sharma chipped in with 21 from 14 balls towards the end. They finished on 139/8. For the Superstarz, Beniwal was the standout bowler with 3/28, while Aman Bharti kept things tight with an economical spell.

The first qualifier match of IPL 2025 was played on 29 May at Mullanpur ground in Chandigarh. In which the teams of RCB and Punjab (RCB vs PBKS Highlights) were face to face. In this match, the Bangalore team has won in a one-sided manner. With the victory in this match, RCB has reached the final in 2025 after 2016. While the wait for the final will still continue for Punjab.

RCB in the final after 9 years

IPL 2025 has been very special for the Bangalore team since the beginning. This is the reason why the team has also reached the final of this season. The first qualifier match was played on 29 May in which the team of Punjab Kings was face to face. In this match, Punjab batted first but the team was restricted to just 101 runs. All the batsmen failed to score runs for Punjab in this match. On the other hand, RCB completely dominated Punjab in this match. Be it batting or bowling. Because RCB chased this target of 102 runs in just 10 overs.

Punjab Kings have reached Qualifier 2 after losing in the first qualifier. While the eliminator match of this season will be played on 30 May. In which the teams of Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians were face to face. Whichever team wins this match will play against Punjab on June 1 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether Punjab will be able to win this match or say that it will be out of the playoffs despite topping the points table.

PBKS vs RCB: Post Match Reactions

Suyash Sharma (Player of the Match): Suyash Sharma, the Player of the Match, credited his performance to a straightforward directive from the coaches to consistently attack the stumps. His googlies, leg spins, and flippers were devastating, and had he not received help from the pitch, clearly indicated by his 3/17 in 3 overs, Patidar wouldn’t have let him back on. Sharma felt the batters found it tough to identify his variations, particularly his stock googly. He looked forward to celebrating with his team on June 3rd, implying there would be a major event.

Rajat Patidar (Royal Challengers Bengaluru Captain): Rajat Patidar praised Suyash Sharma for consistently hitting the stumps, which Patidar called a key to his performance. He was careful as captain not to complicate the batsman learning Sharma’s googly. He provided a shout-out to Phil Salt’s explosive starts, saying it was good fortune to see them from the dugout. Finally, he thanked the passionate RCB fans and encouraged them for a championship celebration.

Phil Salt (RCB): Phil Salt was excited to qualify for finals on their first attempt. They accepted the challenging nature of the pitch with some movement early but credited quick reactions for avoiding any dismissals against Punjab’s new ball, especially from Arshdeep Singh. Salt described the play-travel-play schedule as a blessing, preventing overthinking during the tournament. The win, he said, provided crucial momentum for RCB heading into the tournament’s decisive phase.

Shreyas Iyer (Punjab Kings Captain): Shreyas Iyer made a case for a batting reconsideration when their low total became untenable for Punjab Kings. He acknowledged that the bounce was variable but refused the temptation to use it as an excuse, emphasizing that we must all be ‘professional’ and adapt. Iyer accepted his tactical decisions, despite the loss, and refused to lay the blame on their bowlers. He is optimistic and believes they have lost a battle but not the war and wants to return more strongly.

Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Match Scorecard

Punjab Kings - 101/10 (14.1 Overs)

Royal Challengers Bengaluru -106/4 (10 Overs)

Royal Challengers Bengaluru put on a fantastic bowling show to bowl out Punjab Kings for just 101 runs in 14.1 overs in the first innings of Qualifier 1 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium.

Punjab Kings had a tough time right from the start, losing four wickets in the first six overs during the powerplay. Their top batsmen couldn’t handle the pressure from RCB’s tight bowling. Only Prabhsimran Singh managed to score a decent 18 runs off 10 balls, while the rest of the top order failed to reach double digits.

The troubles didn’t stop there. Yash Dayal bowled Nehal Wadhera out for 8 runs early in the seventh over, leaving Punjab Kings at 50 for five. Soon after, leg-spinner Suyash Sharma came into the attack and made an instant impact.

The Punjab Kings were in trouble as wickets kept falling quickly. Shashank Singh and Musheer Khan couldn’t stay long and were both dismissed by Suyash. By halfway through the innings, Punjab was struggling at 71 for 7. Marcus Stoinis tried to steady the innings with 26 runs off 17 balls but was out in the 11th over.

Dayal finished his four overs with 2 wickets for 26 runs. Romario Shepherd also made a difference by taking a wicket in his first over, sending Harpreet Brar back cheaply. Azmatullah Omarzai was the last to go, scoring 18 runs off 12 balls. Both Hazlewood and Suyash Sharma picked up three wickets each.

After the innings, Suyash Sharma said, “We followed the plans given by our coaches and stuck to them. I felt good bowling today, and the batsmen couldn’t read my googly well. Even though this was a semi-final, we played it like a normal game. Playing here before helped us stay calm.”

Suyash Sharma clinched Heinrich Klaasen's wicket at the right time when the batter had just started to shift gears. Suyash went to deliver his wicket taking delivery after a short conversation with Virat Kohli. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Sunrisers Hyderabad (RCB vs SRH) are currently facing each other at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. After winning the toss, Jitesh Sharma, stand-in skipper for RCB in place of injured regular captain Rajat Patidar, chose to field first to utilize the moisture of the surface as much as possible. 

Suyash Sharma had a tough day at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Uttar Pradesh, except for the wicket of the right-handed batsman. After receiving some advice from Virat, the spinner went for a fuller length delivery, slightly on the side.

Suyash Sharma, the 22-year-old, proved his importance for RCB in the middle order when the team needed to stop flowing runs or needed to take a wicket during a crucial point of contests. Sharma played 11 IPL 2025 games so far with RCB and took 5 scalps. But the most attractive part of his bowling performance is the economy rate, which is only 8.73. 

In this way Sharma took the SA batter's wicket

Klaasen lured to see the fuller and chose to take the aerial root. He hoisted the ball towards the long-on area, but there was a Romario Shepherd at the right place to take an easy catch. Thus, the South International departed after scoring only 24 off 13, and Suyash got his only wicket from the match. 

The dismissal of Klaasen did not harm SRH too much because Ishan Kishan was on song at the crease. The Indian star batter scored unbeaten 94, missed his ton only by 6 runs, and took his team to 231 in the first innings. In his innings, Ishan blasted seven boundaries and five over-boundaries with a strike rate of 195.83.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), in their latest 'Bold Diaries' episode, showcased the story of Suyash Sharma. The spinner from Delhi was troubled for Harniya and played matches with pain. It was the RCB who arranged all the medical support Suyash needed; now the young Indian spinner is fit and fine and ready to run pain-free. 

Kolkata Knight Riders first introduced Suyash Sharma in the Indian Premier League (IPL) back in 2023. The leg spinner bowled brilliantly and soon became an integral part of the team for the season. Suyash played a total of eleven matches in IPL 2023 and took 10 wickets at an 8.23 economy rate. In the following season, the right-hand bowler was almost sidelined after playing a couple of matches where he went without any wickets. 

KKR did not retain him for IPL 2025, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru took the chance. Joining RCB was a turning point for Suyash Sharma. In the recently published 'Bold Diaries' episode, he shared how RCB took all the responsibility to make him absolutely fit. Sharma especially credited team physio James Pipe, who took care of Sharma in London, and said how he used to play matches under pain. He used to take medical help to reduce pain and then stepped into field to play IPL matches.

"I had Harniya for last 2 years. Until two years ago, I used to take injections & play IPL... RCB sent me to London for my surgery. I met James Pipe there. He and his family treated me like family. I had three hernias; I did not hope that I would play the first match," said Sharma in this interview.

Suyash made an impressive comeback 

After a downfall in IPL 2024, Suyash Sharma has made a strong comeback in IPL 2025. Behind RCB's successful run in the group stage, Sharma has made an impressive impact in the 9 games he has played so far. The spinner took only 4 wickets in 9 games but proved very effective in the middle overs for his economical bowling, which is 7.97. After a big surgery, Suyash did not expect that he could play in the early stage of IPL 2025. 

"I was told that I would play three of the latest four matches. I had a big surgery. But Pipe and his family took care of me. I am very thankful that I've joined this franchise, and I'm for now," Suyash concluded.
