NEW DELHI: After a turbulent week in Indian cricket, normalcy is returning as the Indian Premier League 2025 gears up to resume on May 17. The last few days saw Rohit Sharma retire from Test cricket, a shocking mid-innings halt of the Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals clash, leading to a temporary suspension of the IPL, and the announcement of Virat Kohli’s retirement from the longest format.
With a ceasefire now in place, the BCCI confirmed the league’s resumption, starting with Royal Challengers Bengaluru hosting Kolkata Knight Riders at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday.

Teams have quickly regrouped, resuming training with the playoff race wide open. Five-time champions Mumbai Indians, currently sitting fourth on the table, were among the first to return to the grind. The franchise kicked off its training session on Wednesday, sharing visuals of players — including Rohit Sharma — back in the nets.
Who's that IPL player?
“Training resumes,” the team captioned a post with a video featuring players hard at work. Another post with Rohit batting was captioned, “We RO again,” signalling the return of their stalwart to the field after an emotional retirement from red-ball cricket.
WATCH:
MI will next face Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium on May 21 in what is shaping up to be a crucial clash. With 14 points from 12 games, MI are narrowly ahead of DC, who have 13 from 11.
The top of the points table remains tight, with Gujarat Titans and RCB leading at 16 points each, followed by Punjab Kings (15). With only a few games left, every match is now a virtual knockout.
The race is back on — and Mumbai Indians, with a determined Rohit, are ready to fight.
