‘Did not leave Delhi Capitals for money…’, Rishabh Pant’s post before IPL auction created an uproar on social media
Rishabh Pant will enter the mega auction before IPL 2025. Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Instagram) India’s star wicketkeeper batsman, Rishabh Pant has broken his silence on not being retained by Delhi Capitals. He has made it clear in a tweet that he did not leave Delhi Capitals for money. Pant responded to a video by Star Sports, in which Sunil Gavaskar was explaining the reason behind Delhi not retaining their captain ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. In the video, Sunil Gavaskar said that, I believe that there may be a disagreement between Delhi Capitals and Rishabh Pant regarding the retention fee of the wicketkeeper-batsman. The former batsman also said during this time that Capitals may try to buy Pant back in the mega auction to be held on 24 and 25 November. This one tweet by Rishabh Pant created an uproar on social media After this, Rishabh Pant reacted to this video and said that he did not leave the Delhi Capitals team for money. Pant has given his reply on a video of Gavaskar. Pant, who was the star batsman of Delhi Capitals, wrote in this post – I can definitely say that my retention was not about money. My retention wasn’t about the money for sure that I can say 🤍 — Rishabh Pant (@RishabhPant17) November 19, 2024 Gavaskar told Star Sports- I think Delhi Capitals would like Rishabh Pant back in their team. Sometimes, when a player has to be retained, there are negotiations between the franchises and the players regarding the expected fees. As some of the players who have been retained by their franchises have demanded a higher No. 1 retention fee. So obviously I think there might be some disagreement there, but I think Delhi would want Rishabh Pant back. Talking about IPL retention, Delhi Capitals retained four players before the IPL 2025 auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. They retained Axar Patel for Rs 16.5 crore, Kuldeep Yadav for Rs 13.5 crore, South African star all-rounder Tristan Stubbs for Rs 10 crore and uncapped wicketkeeper Abhishek Porel for Rs 4 crore.
Aakash Chopra supports Rishabh Pant’s inclusion in this IPL team
There is a lot of discussion about Rishabh Pant’s participation in the auction. Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter X) Before the Indian Premier League 2025 mega auction, all the franchises have to submit the list of their retained players, the last date of which is October 31. According to the new guidelines issued by BCCI, a franchise can retain a maximum of 6 players including uncapped players. Meanwhile, many players are involved in the auction race, but the name of players like Rishabh Pant is also in discussion. Pant has led Delhi in 43 matches. He also took command of the team in IPL 2024. Pant made a spectacular comeback last season after recovering from a car accident. Now amid the news of Pant joining the auction, former cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that he should go to RCB as captain. He said that most franchises can spend big money for a flamboyant cricketer. If his name comes in the auction, a lot of money will be spent: Aakash Chopra Chopra said on his YouTube channel, it is heard that Rishabh Pant may be available in the auction. But many people say that his figures in T20 are not that good, he has had only one successful season in IPL and apart from that he has not scored much runs either. I can give you in writing that if his name comes in the auction, a huge amount will be spent. He further said that, RCB needs a keeper, a batsman and maybe a captain. Punjab will be in need because they will have no one. Delhi will need it, RTM card will be available. KKR also needs him. What about CSK, they need. If Ishan Kishan is left out, Mumbai will also need him. Let us tell you that the last season was good for Rishabh Pant, who returned after a two-year long injury. He scored 446 runs in 13 innings at a strike rate of 155.40. After this strong performance, he directly joined the Indian team and played in the T20 World Cup 2024.

Let us tell you that, GMR Group will currently hold 49% stake in Hampshire, but in future they will have the option to acquire 51% stake. Block buster deal has been signed for Rs 1200 crore This new partnership gives GMR control over the Utilita Bowl, the Hilton Hotel and the 18-hole golf course adjacent to the cricket ground. GMR’s growing portfolio in cricket already includes teams from the IPL, ILT20 in the UAE and Major League Cricket in the USA. Earlier this year, the England Cricket Board (ECB) received approval from the 18 first-class counties for privatisation. GMR Group’s investment in Hampshire is the first instance of an IPL franchise investing in an English county cricket team. The ECB is looking for financial stability, and the privatisation of The Hundred is part of this strategy. These IPL franchises have shown interest in English County Other IPL franchises like Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Supergiants have shown interest in English county cricket. A source was quoted as saying, “There will be a lot of interest from the IPL franchises as they have the money and this is a golden opportunity for the ECB to achieve the long-desired financial stability.” There may be a change in the format of The Hundred There are reports that discussions are underway about possibly changing the format of The Hundred, with the tournament’s branding expected to remain unchanged. But a change to the T20 format is considered a strong possibility, although no decision has been taken yet.
