Former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu, yeah, he’s got some thoughts. Best innings in the IPL 2025? According to Sidhu, it’s Romario Shepherd’s 14-ball blitz, slamming 53 against the Chennai Super Kings. Like, it’s his passionate take, you know?
Caught Sidhu’s rant (but in a good way) on Star Sports. This guy was all about pumping up the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They’re tearing up the league, absolutely smashing it, led by Rajat Patidar. Eight wins and just cruising — bet the playoffs are just a chill ride for them now.
So, anyway, this Patidar-led crew — they’ve sorta become this powerhouse of cricket chaos. Batting and bowling both — like, there must be something in their water. Sidhu’s vibing hard on RCB’s flair, especially with Patidar’s bold captain vibe that syncs so well with the likes of Virat Kohli and Phil Salt. And then comes Shepherd’s wild innings — rumor has it, balls landed in the next continent. Might’ve been an exaggeration but, hey, sounds about right!
Sidhu’s words, roughly, painted RCB as this engine — Kohli at the wheel, just steering this beast. With Phil Salt and Patidar, it’s like a jam session of talents. Their middle order? Honestly never heard of till now, but with guys like Jitesh Sharma and Tim David stepping up, and of course, Shepherd going ballistic — even Sidhu seemed taken aback.
Bangalore saw Shepherd just go wild at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. I mean, 52 runs in 13 balls? Talk about crunch time madness. Anyway, totally legendary stuff.
And their bowlers — man, Sidhu drooled over them too. Dayal’s a leftie with flair, and Hazlewood bringing the thunder. There’s someone new shining every match — could be Suyash today, Krunal Pandya tomorrow. In Sidhu’s world, it’s like auditioning for the next top superstar every game.
Oh, and by the way, in totally sorta related news, Anil Kumble skipped past Shubman Gill and tapped Jasprit Bumrah as India’s Test skipper. Curious, huh? Just more cricket chaos pouring out these days.
