Rahul Tripathi was picked up by CSK for Rs 3.40 crore at the IPL 2025 auction. He was tried at multiple positions but he failed to deliver with the bat. In five matches of IPL 2025, Tripathi scored just 55 runs with an ordinary average of 11.00 and strike rate of 96.49 and was eventually dropped from CSK's playing XI. Given his ordinary performance, CSK may opt to release him before the IPL 2026 auction to explore more reliable batters for the next season. Rahul Tripathi's IPL Record

In the IPL 2025 mega Auction, the Chennai Super Kings picked star opener Devon Conway for Rs 6.25 crore. However, CSK preferred Rachin Ravindra over Conway for the first half of IPL. When Conway got his chances, he wasn't able to perform upto the expectations, scoring 156 runs in 6 matches of IPL 2025 season. Devon Conway's IPL Record

New Zealand opener Devon Conway, who was a key figure in CSK's 2023 title-winning campaign, has scored 1080 runs in 29 matches with an average of 43.20 and strike rate of 139.71 in his IPL career so far. 4. Deepak Hooda

After his disappointing outing, CSK might consider releasing Hooda before the IPL 2026 auction and buy some impactful batters ahead of the next season. Deepak Hooda's IPL Record

Deepak Hooda made his IPL debut in 2015 and has played more than 100 matches in the league. He has scored 1496 runs in 125 matches with an average of 17.60 and strike rate of 127.64 in his IPL career so far.

Bengaluru stampede: Karnataka High Court orders government to release report
The Karnataka High Court has directed the state government to make public its status report on the tragic stampede that occurred outside M Chinnaswamy Stadium during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) IPL victory celebrations. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The incident, which happened after RCB won their maiden IPL title, led to the death of 11 people and left over 50 injured. The government had asked for the report to remain confidential, but the court said there were 'no legal grounds' to keep it private. It added that the report contained only 'facts as perceived' by the government. The court also asked the government to share the report with all parties involved in the case, including the RCB franchise, Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), and DNA Entertainment Networks, RCB's event partner. RCB is currently waiting for more clarity from the CID probe. Both the franchise and DNA officials have given their testimonies in the past month. A date for the final judgement has not been announced yet. RCB's IPL Celebration Ends in Tragedy: Stampede Kills 11, Leaves Dozens Injured | WATCH On July 1, the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) made some strong observations about the crowd that gathered outside the stadium. The tribunal noted that RCB's social media posts inviting fans to join the parade after their June 3 win over Punjab Kings (PBKS) drew an estimated 3 to 5 lakh people. The CAT was asked to investigate after Bengaluru (West) IG and Additional Commissioner of Police Vikash Kumar filed a complaint following his dismissal. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had removed Vikash and four other officers, blaming them for 'substantial dereliction of duty' and not taking proper steps to control the crowd. Poll Should the Karnataka government make the stampede report public? Yes, transparency is essential. No, it should remain confidential. The tribunal said the RCB franchise did not seek key regulatory permissions and had 'created a nuisance.' Tired of too many ads? go ad free now These comments were made in a 29-page order issued by CAT. RCB's Chief Marketing Officer Nikhil Sosale, who was arrested and later granted bail, has not commented since. The franchise had announced plans to start an 'RCB Cares' fund to help those affected by the stampede, but there has been no update since June 4 — the day the tragedy occurred.

K'taka HC orders govt to make public disclosure of RCB stampede report
The Karnataka High Court has ordered the state government to publicly disclose its status report on the stampede incident outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium that occured during the celebrations of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) team's maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title win. The unfortunate tragedy led to the death of 11 people and left over 50 injured. The state government had requested the High Court to keep the report confidential, but as per ESPNCricinfo, the court on Monday categorically stated that there were no legal grounds for such confidentiality and they were merely "facts as perceived" by the government. The court has also directed the state government to furnish the reports to the other parties involved in the case, the RCB franchise, Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), DNA Entertainment Networks, the event partner of the Red and Gold franchise. The franchise is however currently awaiting details which will come out after a thorough CID investigation. The team and DNA's top authorities have submitted their testimonies over the past one month. A date for delivery of judgement is yet to be made public. On July 1, the two-member bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), a quasi-judicial body handling matters related to government and public servants, made some key observations about the crowd that gathered outside the team's home base. The CAT noted that the franchise was responsible for drawing a crowd of around three to five lakhs outside the venue to participate in the celebratory victory parade, which was announced by the team on all their social media handles shortly after defeating Punjab Kings (PBKS) to end the 18-year wait for the cup on June 3. The CAT was given a task to investigate the matter after Vikash Kumar, the Inspector General and Additional Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru (West), filed a complaint seeking redressal after his dismissal by Chief Minister Siddharamaiah after the stampede took place. Vikash, along with four other officials, was dismissed on the grounds of "substantial dereliction of duty" and not seeking "guidance" due to which the situation "went out of control". The tribunal also stated that the franchise, which failed to seek important regulatory permissions to carry out the event, had "created a nuisance". All these remarks were made in a 29-page order issued by CAT. RCB's Chief Marketing Officer, Nikhil Sosale, who was arrested and granted bail last month, has not issued any statement since the announcement of increased compensation for families of the dead and support to the ones who sustained injuries. The franchise also saught to form a 'RCB Cares' fund to help out people affected by the tragic stampede. There has been no update on team's social media handles since June 4, the day when the stampede took place.
