Looking for the buzz around this season’s cricket action? You’re in the right spot. We’ve pulled together the biggest stories, scores and must‑watch moments from the IPL, CPL, international fixtures and more. Grab a snack, settle in, and let’s break down what’s hot in the cricket world right now.

Top Ongoing Tournaments

IPL 2025 kicked off with a bang, but the opener between KKR and RCB hit a weather snag. An orange alert from the IMD warned of thundersqualls, lightning and even hail at Eden Gardens. While the rain probability stayed low, a few heavy showers could have delayed play. The good news? No reserve day, so the match will go ahead if the sky clears, and fans can stream it live on the official IPL platform.

Next up is the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025. Six franchises are battling across seven venues, with star names like Quinton de Kock, Shakib Al Hasan and Imran Tahir leading the charge. Early marquee clashes are already shaping the league’s narrative – watch the de Kock‑Shakib duel and the surprise performances from young fast bowler Jayden Seales. The schedule is live on the CPL app, and you can catch every game on regional broadcasters.

On the international front, the Champions Trophy 2025 saw Pakistan lose all‑rounder Fakhar Zaman to injury. Imam‑ul‑Haq stepped in, but the real story is the high‑voltage India‑Pakistan showdown in Dubai. Keep an eye on the pitch report – a flat surface favors big hitters, while any early swing could tip the balance.

South Africa celebrated a milestone as Keshav Maharaj grabbed his 200th Test wicket against Zimbabwe. The spin wizard’s consistency makes him a key player to watch in any upcoming series, especially when sub‑continental conditions kick in.

What to Watch This Season

If you love big scores, don’t miss Sarfaraz Khan’s 138 in the Buchi Babu Trophy. That knock put the selectors on notice and signals his readiness for a national call‑up. Similarly, Evin Lewis continues to dominate T20 leagues worldwide, bringing explosive power to the West Indies side. His recent centuries prove he’s still one of the most dangerous openers in the format.

Women’s cricket is heating up too. The India women’s team crushed Sri Lanka in the Servo Cup final, with Smriti Mandhana’s blazing 116 leading the charge. That performance sets a strong tone for the upcoming Women’s World Cup, and fans can expect more aggressive batting from the Indian lineup.

Finally, remember the retirement of Cheteshwar Pujara. The steady No. 3 leaves a big gap in India’s Test order, especially in overseas conditions where his patience shone. Young batsmen like Shubman Gill and Prithvi Shaw will now carry the mantle, so watch how they adapt to the longer format.

All these stories point to a season full of surprises, rain‑delayed drama and record‑breaking moments. Stay tuned to our tag page for real‑time updates, match schedules and quick how‑to‑watch guides.
