“We will try to buy Pant but I don’t think….”- CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan
MS Dhoni Kashi Vishwanathan (Photo Source: Twitter) The mega auction of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is going to take place in a few days. This mega event is scheduled to take place on 24th and 25th November in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Just ahead of this auction, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) CEO, Kasi Vishwanathan has finally broken his silence on the team signing star Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant. After the end of the T20 World Cup, some reports had come out in which it was said that Chennai has shown interest in the wicketkeeper-batsman for the next season. Then this speculation finally reached its peak when Delhi Capitals released their retention list. Now in such a situation, the excitement among the fans regarding the auction of Rishabh Pant has reached its peak. We will try to buy Pant but….- Statement of CSK CEO Kasi Vishwanathan Now the question is, will CSK join the race to acquire Pant in the mega auction? While speaking to former CSK batsman Ambati Rayudu on Provoke TV, Kashi did not rule out the possibility but also admitted that he is keen to be the first to pick his players in the mega auction. Kasi Vishwanathan said, “We had discussions with captain Ruturaj, MS (Dhoni) and coach Stephen Fleming before taking the decision on retention. We were very clear that the players who helped the team grow and stabilize over the years were very important for the CSK team to continue going forward.” He further said, “It was very easy to retain Gaikwad, Jaddu, MS, Shivam Dubey and Mathisha Pathirana. But we knew that if we retained these players, we would have less money going into the auction. We knew that we would not be able to compete with other teams when it came to the best of Indian players. I mean, we’ll still try, but I don’t think we’ll be able to buy them at the auction.”

Aaron Finch gave his reaction to Sunil Gavaskar’s statement Team India’s former veteran batsman Sunil Gavaskar has now given a sharp reaction on Rohit Sharma. Sunil Gavaskar clearly said that if Rohit Sharma is not available for the first and second test matches, then in such a situation he should not be the captain. The vice captain should get command of the team in the series. It is important for any captain to play the first match of the series. Former Australia captain Aaron Finch expressed his disagreement with this statement of Sunil Gavaskar and supported Rohit Sharma. Finch believes that if Rohit Sharma is not available for the birth of his child, then it is his personal decision. Ritika Sajdeh’s reaction to this statement of Aaron Finch was amazing which is now going viral on social media. Ritika Sajdeh’s reaction on Aaron Finch’s statement went viral Aaron Finch expressed his disagreement with Sunil Gavaskar and said, ‘I disagree with Sunny. Rohit Sharma is the captain of the Indian team. If you have to stay home because your wife is going to have a baby, then this is a very beautiful moment. In this matter you can take as much time as you want. Ritika reacted to this statement of Aaron Finch with a salute emoji.

“He has become a prisoner of his own reputation” – Aakash Chopra gave a surprising statement about Abhishek Sharma
Aakash Chopra and Abhishek Sharma. (Photo Sourced: After India’s win in the first T20I against South Africa on Friday, former India opener Aakash Chopra has made a big statement regarding Abhishek Sharma. In the first T20 match played between India and South Africa, once again Abhishek Sharma’s bat did not work and he was out after scoring 7 runs in 8 balls. Abhishek was caught by Gerald Coetzee by captain Aiden Markram in the fourth over. The 24-year-old all-rounder has so far scored only 166 runs in 9 T20 International matches at an average of 20.75. Former Indian cricketer and famous commentator Aakash Chopra has made a surprising claim on Abhishek’s continuous flops. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Abhishek Sharma Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube on Saturday, “This is the story of two openers. On one side there is Sanju Samson, whose star is shining. On the other side is Abhishek Sharma, whose stars are in the ascendant. When Abhishek scored a century against Zimbabwe, he was a new rising star. But since then it has gone downhill. He was out against Coetzee in the first T20. Looking at the kind of shots he hit, it seems as if he has become a prisoner of his own reputation. He is not able to get rid of the reputation he has created (as a fast batsman). They feel that I play like this, so now I have to play like this. I won’t wait. In such a situation, another failure has occurred.” However, the former cricketer expressed hope that Abhishek will open in the remaining three matches against South Africa as well. But Akash also warned that if the young player fails to create a consistent impact then problems may arise. He said, “A time will come when problems will arise. Questions will be asked as to how long you will be associated with Abhishek. He will get a chance in three more matches. But with every match the sand seems to be slipping from our hands.”

AUS series is the last chance for Gambhir, if he loses then BCCI can take this action
BCCI conducted a detailed review on Team India’s 0-3 defeat against New Zealand. Gautam Gambhir (Image Credit- Twitter X) There is turmoil in Team India after the embarrassing 0-3 defeat against New Zealand. Along with the players, now the entire management of head coach Gautam Gambhir is under question, he now has to leave for Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with the Indian team. Meanwhile, a big news has come out, after hearing which the fans may get another big shock. According to Dainik Jagran’s report, Australia tour could be Gambhir’s last chance to prove himself. If the performance of the Indian team is not good there then BCCI can take strict action against them. He may have to lose his coaching post in one of the formats. Indian team management can appoint different coaches for different formats Let us tell you that after the T-20 World Cup 2024, the tenure of former head Rahul Dravid ended. After that Gautam Gambhir was appointed the head coach of Team India. Team India’s performance has not been that good since Gambhir became the coach. Under him, Team India lost the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Now the Kiwi team came home and made a clean sweep of Team India in the test. In such a situation, BCCI has now started considering appointing separate coaches in both the formats. Dainik Jagran has said in its report quoting BCCI sources that the board cannot change its decision and remove Gambhir. But different coaches can be appointed in red and white ball formats. However, this decision depends on India’s tour to Australia. If the Indian team loses badly in Australia, then the command of Gambhir Test team can be taken away and handed over to National Cricket Academy head VVS Laxman. He will have the responsibility of ODI and T20 team. Let us tell you that Laxman is currently on South Africa tour with the Indian T20 team. Even before this he had gone on Zimbabwe tour with the T20 team.
