The biggest topic of discussion in the meeting will be the purse value of all IPL teams, which is likely to increase. Apart from this, the IPL Impact Player rules and the number of retentions per team during the IPL 2025 mega auction will also be discussed. What is the agenda of this meeting? Increase in purse value According to reports, the meeting between IPL franchise owners and BCCI will take place at the newly renovated BCCI office at the Wankhede Stadium. The IPL owners are reportedly excited as the purse value for each team is likely to increase. Currently, each side has a purse value of Rs 100 crore, so it is expected that the purse value will be increased by 20-25%. That means the purse value will now be Rs 120-125 crore. Higher purse value means that the franchises will have more room for manoeuvre and will be able to bid at any price for their top players. Impact player rule may be abolished Apart from this, there could also be a push to abolish the impact player rule, which has been heavily criticised by former cricketers and legends like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Increase in the number of players to be retained The number of players to be retained ahead of the mega auction may be increased from four to five. Notably, in the last IPL mega auction, the BCCI allowed each side to retain four players, but this year the number may increase to five to keep all the franchises happy. Naturally, IPL teams that have performed well will want to retain their core players. While other teams that have not had as much success will want to reset their squad. A source said- “Obviously, continuity and maintaining a core is very important going forward. Maybe six (retentions) will be allowed, which will include some RTM cards. That means at least one uncapped player will also be included in the retention. But there may be some debate on the number of foreign retentions.” “There are teams like Delhi Capitals (Jake Fraser-McGurk and Tristan Stubbs) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (Pat Cummins, Heinrich Klaasen and Travis Head) who would want more than one overseas retention,”

If you bowl well you can get them out – Harbhajan Singh He further said, whether you bat first or second, you have to bat well to score 180 runs and 180 should be the winning total. Your mindset is that the 180 will be chased. How will he be pursued? The opposing team will have to score that score.

The former batsman said that if Dhoni was not part of the team, the move would have been more appropriate. He also expressed concern that Dhoni’s presence in CSK could potentially create challenges for new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. “No, I don’t think it was the right time for MS Dhoni to resign as captain,” Wasim Jaffer was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. I think it would have made more sense if MS Dhoni was not part of the team. If he had retired and was not in the team, this timing could have been right. If that had happened, things would have become much easier for the new captain.” “If Dhoni was not there, then…” Wasim Jaffer further said, “Since he is still a part of the team, things are going to become difficult for Ruturaj Gaikwad. Ruturaj Gaikwad takes a decision or not, and whether Dhoni agrees with that decision or not. What, will he like those decisions? And you are on your own, and we all know that Ruturaj Gaikwad would have been the next captain of CSK. But I think if Dhoni was not there, all this would have been much easier.”
