The Oval Invincibles have dominated this tournament after claiming top spot in the group stage with six wins from eight contests to book their place in the final. 

The Rockets have been one of the most dependable teams this season, taking six wins in eight outings to grab second place and seal their playoff position. Their Eliminator, against Northern Superchargers, was washed out due to rain, and the Rockets made it to the finals as they finished above the Superchargers on the points table, who were at number three.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 mini-auction is just a few months away, and trade rumours are already heating up. Big names like Sanju Samson, KL Rahul, and Ravichandran Ashwin are reportedly in the mix for possible moves. Although the new season will kick off next summer, franchises have begun analysing their squads, identifying weaknesses, and exploring ways to strengthen ahead of the auction. Discussions around player retention, releases, and strategic signings are already shaping the build-up to what promises to be another thrilling IPL season.

The league has witnessed major trade deals in the past, with Hardik Pandya’s return to Mumbai Indians from Gujarat Titans for INR 15 crore ahead of IPL 2024 being one of the most notable. Pandya’s move came after he led the Titans to their maiden title in 2022, their debut season. As the auction approaches, similar blockbuster trades could be on the horizon. Here’s a look at four high-profile player moves that might take place before the IPL 2026 auction begins. Lets look some of the eye catching trade;

Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals to CSK)

Reports indicate that Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper Sanju Samson could be traded to Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who are looking for a successor to MS Dhoni. Samson offers leadership qualities and reliability as a wicketkeeper-batter. Potential trade options for CSK include Shivam Dube, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, or Ravichandran Ashwin to balance the deal.

Samson has been associated with RR since 2013, except for the 2016 and 2017 seasons when the franchise was banned. Over the years, he has become one of their most consistent performers and a key figure in their setup. He recently shared his experiences of playing for the Jaipur-based team.

Will Jacks (Mumbai Indians to Delhi Capitals)

England all-rounder Will Jacks had a below-par IPL 2025 with Mumbai Indians (MI), scoring only 233 runs and taking six wickets in 13 matches. This could see him on the move ahead of IPL 2026.

Delhi Capitals (DC) are a potential destination, with reports hinting they may trade Vipraj Nigam or Ashutosh Sharma. Jacks also plays for Pretoria Capitals in SA20, DC’s sister franchise, where he has scored 740 runs and taken 13 wickets in 27 matches.

KL Rahul (Delhi Capitals to KKR)

In a surprising development, wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul could be traded to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Delhi Capitals bought him for INR 14 crore, and he delivered a strong season with the bat.

Rahul scored 539 runs in 13 matches, including three fifties and a century. As per The Times of India, KKR view him as both a batting boost and a potential captain, with his good rapport with assistant coach Abhishek Nayar adding to the appeal.

Venkatesh Iyer (KKR to RCB)

KKR bought Venkatesh Iyer for INR 23.75 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction, but he underperformed, scoring only 142 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 139.21, with just one fifty.

Reports suggest Venkatesh could be traded to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for Phil Salt, who scored 403 runs in 13 matches with four fifties. RCB head coach Andy Flower had earlier admitted they tried to sign Venkatesh in the IPL 2025 mega auction, engaging in a bidding war with KKR.

Oval Invincibles made a perfect start to their hunt for a third straight men’s Hundred title, beating London Spirit by six wickets at Lord’s. Spirit had a night to forget, bowled out for just 80 runs in 94 balls their second‑lowest score in the tournament’s history. Star batters David Warner and Kane Williamson, both making their Hundred debuts, could only manage 9 runs each. The rest of the batting line‑up also struggled as Invincibles’ bowlers took control.

Afghan star Rashid Khan, playing his first match for Invincibles, was the pick of the bowlers. He spun his way to brilliant figures of 3 wickets for just 11 runs. England all‑rounder Sam Curran was just as effective, taking 3 for 18 with clever slower balls that kept Spirit guessing.

Chasing only 81 to win, Invincibles never looked in trouble. Openers Will Jacks (24 from 24 balls) and Tawanda Muyeye (18 from 20) gave them a steady start. Both fell to left‑arm spinner Liam Dawson, who bowled well for Spirit, taking 2 for 9 in his 20 balls. Dan Worrall and Ashton Turner picked up a wicket each, but the game was already in Invincibles’ control. Even a fox running onto the field briefly could not hold up their march to victory.

The winning runs came with plenty of balls to spare, sealing an easy win for the defending champions. This was a clear statement from Invincibles that they mean business again this year, while Spirit will need to regroup quickly if they want to compete.

The Mumbai Indians have just dropped exciting news for their fans! Jonny Bairstow, a prominent cricketer who has been leading Yorkshire this year, announced on social media that he’ll be joining the Mumbai Indians for the remainder of the IPL season as a replacement for Will Jacks. The announcement, made on May 20, 2025, has sparked a wave of enthusiasm among fans, who are eager to see how this talented player will contribute to the team’s campaign. Bairstow shared his gratitude to Yorkshire for their support and expressed his excitement about returning to the IPL with Mumbai Indians.

In his heartfelt post, Bairstow reflected on the tough decision to leave Yorkshire mid-season, noting how much he’s enjoyed leading the club. However, the opportunity to play for Mumbai Indians, one of the IPL’s most successful franchises, was too good to pass up. The Mumbai Indians, known for their dynamic gameplay and passionate fanbase, have consistently been a dominant force in the IPL, and Bairstow’s addition is expected to bring fresh energy to the squad. His experience and leadership skills could prove vital as the team pushes through the latter stages of the tournament.

The announcement has already created a buzz on social media, with hashtags like #MumbaiIndians and #IPL trending among cricket enthusiasts. Bairstow’s post concluded with an enthusiastic message to Mumbai fans, saying he can’t wait to “get started and experience the energy of Mumbai.” His optimism is infectious, and fans are already counting down to his first match in the Mumbai Indians jersey.

What’s Next for Jonny Bairstow and Mumbai Indians?

As the IPL season progresses, all eyes will be on Bairstow to see how he adapts to the fast-paced environment of the tournament. His track record suggests he’ll bring a mix of aggressive batting and strategic thinking to the team, which could be a game-changer for Mumbai Indians.

The team’s management will likely be working on integrating him into their strategies quickly, especially with the playoffs approaching. Fans are hopeful that Bairstow’s arrival will help Mumbai Indians secure another IPL title, adding to their illustrious history.

Jonny Bairstow is in talks to join Mumbai Indians as a temporary replacement for Will Jacks, if the team makes it to the playoffs. Jacks has returned to India and is expected to play MI’s last two league matches, but he won’t be available for the playoffs due to England’s ODI series against West Indies, which clashes with the rescheduled knockout matches. According to Reports, Bairstow could step in for him, as long as he gets the required No-Objection Certificate (NOC).

Bairstow went unsold in last year’s auction and hasn’t played for England since June 2024. If everything goes as planned, he’ll fly to India after leading Yorkshire against Surrey in the County Championship this week. He would miss one Championship game and a couple of T20 Blast matches if he joins MI.

The experienced English batter has played 50 IPL games across five seasons, turning out for Sunrisers Hyderabad (2019-2021) and Punjab Kings (2022, 2024). He has a great record, with an average of 34.54 and a strike rate of 144.45. He also has two IPL hundreds, including a memorable one during a record chase at Eden Gardens last season against KKR.

Will Jacks has been an important player for MI this season, featuring in 11 of their first 12 games. He has scored 195 runs and taken five wickets with his off-spin. He was named Player of the Match in two key home wins against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants.

Mumbai Indians are currently in fourth place on the points table, with two league games left against Delhi Capitals on May 21 and Punjab Kings on May 26. After a slow start to the season, they bounced back with six wins in a row, but lost narrowly to Gujarat Titans just before the tournament was paused due to tensions between India and Pakistan. MI could also lose Ryan Rickelton and Corbin Bosch for the playoffs, as both have been picked in South Africa’s squad for the World Test Championship final next month.

In the match played between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants in 45 match of IPL 2025, Hardik Pandya's platoon has won by 54 runs. With this, Mumbai has now reached the second position in the points table. This is Lucknow's fifth defeat this season. With which it now seems very difficult for Rishabh Pant's team to reach the playoffs. Let's take a look at today's match. 

In the match, Mumbai Indians batted first and scored 215 runs in 20 overs. This included 58 runs from opener Ryan Rickelton and Suryakumar Yadav's quick 54 runs. Apart from these two, Will Jacks 29 and Naman Dheer also played quick 25 runs. Due to which Mumbai's score crossed 200. In response, Lucknow's innings was limited to 161 runs. Ayush Badoni scored the highest 35 runs for Lucknow. While in Mumbai's bowling, Bolt took 3 and Bumrah took 4 wickets. These two bowlers of Mumbai had wrapped up more than half of Lucknow's innings. In this way Mumbai has won the match by 54 runs.

 The journey of both the teams in this season

Now let's take a look at the performance of Mumbai and Lucknow in the current IPL season. In which such a performance is no less than a miracle for Mumbai. Because it won only 1 match out of its first 5 matches. After which it was believed that this season too the Mumbai franchise would not be able to reach the playoffs. But now this team is at second place in the points table with 6 wins and 4 losses in 10 matches. 

On the other hand, the current IPL season has been full of ups and downs for Lucknow. The team loses one match and wins the other. Lucknow has currently played 10 matches in this season. In these, the team has won 5 matches while it has faced defeat in 5 matches. This is the reason why Rishabh Pant's team is currently at sixth position in the points table.

Achieving a century in the IPL, with all its attendant pressures, is praiseworthy in itself, but completing it while chasing is an entirely different story filled with layers of complexity and excitement. Some of the hard-hitting batters in IPL have performed miraculous turnarounds all by themselves, which have truly been marvels of sporting theatrics. Following is the list of the best chasers and the fastest centuries completed in IPL history.

Yusuf Pathan – 100 in 37 Balls

Yusuf Pathan has single-handedly set the record for the fastest hundred in a run chase, who in 2010, while playing for Rajasthan Royals, had a jaw-dropping 100 off only 37 balls. Pathan almost propelled RR to chase a gigantic target against the Mumbai Indians, and although they fell just short, his innings remains one of the most iconic in IPL history.

David Miller – 100 in 38 Balls

David Miller has unfathomably earned the title of “Killer Miller,” which is in line with the ruthless persona he displayed when playing for the Kings XI IPL franchise. Just in 2013, while playing against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Miller had a phenomenal unbeaten run scoring 101 with just 38 balls. his onslaught was remarkable in turning what was a daunting target into a thrilling victory, and that innings is often hailed as one of the best in IPL history

Abhishek Sharma – 100 in 40 Balls

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Abhishek Sharma showcased immaturity with 100 runs off 40 balls in IPL 2025. This dazzling performance has landed him a spot in the 2025 IPL elite club. In a Sunrisers Hyderabad chase, the talented young batter proved he could bat with both power and grace, which was a sight to behold. This performance further elevated his stature in Indian cricket.

Will Jacks—100 runs off 41 Balls

In IPL 2025, while competing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Will Jacks amazed fans with 100 runs off 41 balls. Jacks single-handedly led RCB to victory and nine runs over Sunrisers Hyderabad. His precise placement and powerful striking helped RCB secure a dominating win, further solidifying his reputation as an explosive player in the league, as his performance goes down in the history of IPL as one of the most destructive knocks ever.

Jonny Bairstow—100 runs off 45 Balls

In IPL, the England opener scored a mind-blowing century while chasing in 45 balls and maintained the trademark aggression and flamboyance he is known for. This knock ushered his team toward pivotal momentum in a close match, solidifying his image as one of the most fearful top-order batters in the IPL.

The 19th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is set to be an exciting one as Mumbai Indians (MI) take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Monday, April 7. The match will be held at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, which is MI’s home ground.

Presently, MI is not doing well in the tournament. They have played four games, winning one and losing three. They are being captained by Hardik Pandya and are in the lower half of the points table.Contrarily, RCB, with Rajat Patidar as the captain, has fared better. They have won two games out of their first three. Even though they lost their previous game against Gujarat Titans (GT), they are on good terms and will attempt to bounce back by winning against MI in this important game.

A Glimpse at Players Who Played for Both MI and RCB:Throughout the years, numerous renowned cricketers have played for both MI and RCB in their IPL careers. Zaheer Khan is one such popular example, who was a legendary Indian fast bowler and played for both teams. But now, let's discuss three current players in IPL 2025 who have played for both these teams.

3 Active Players Who Have Played for Both MI and RCB in IPL History
1. Krunal Pandya

Role: All-rounder (Spin Bowler + Middle-order Batter)
Played for MI: 2016 to 2021
Playing for RCB: 2025 season

Krunal Pandya began his IPL journey with Mumbai Indians in 2016. He was an important player during MI’s title wins in 2019 and 2020. However, he was released by MI ahead of the 2022 season. He then played for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for three seasons. In 2025, he joined RCB and made a great start with a top bowling performance, earning the Player of the Match award in the opening game.

2. Tim David

Role: Power-batter / All-rounder
Played for RCB: 2021 (played only 1 match)
Played for MI: 2022 to 2024
Playing for RCB: 2025 season

Tim David, an Australian destructive batter, featured in his inaugural IPL match with RCB in 2021 but was given few opportunities. Later, MI signed him during the 2022 mega auction for ₹8.25 crore. He showed an instant effect with his aggressive batting and elevated strike rate. MI released him in 2025, and RCB re-signed him. He is featuring with RCB this season and contributes power to their middle order.

3. Will Jacks
