This veteran player can replace Gautam Gambhir in IPL 2025, has an old relationship with RR
IPL defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders are in talks with Kumar Sangakkara for the role of mentor. In 2024, they appointed Gautam Gambhir as the mentor and the team finally managed to win the trophy. Soon after, the former cricketer was offered the role of India’s head coach, which he accepted. With Gambhir’s departure, the position of head coach is now vacant in the team. Meanwhile, Sangakkara has been associated with Rajasthan Royals since 2021. He has done a commendable job with the team as under his leadership the franchise played the IPL final in 2022 and finished third in 2024. However, according to recent media reports, former India head coach Rahul Dravid may now join Rajasthan in the role of coach. At the same time, the franchise has ended its contract with Sangakkara. Vikram Rathore can become the batting coach of RR Reports also state that former India batting coach Vikram Rathod is likely to join RR. Keeping this in mind, Sangakkara has reportedly decided to part ways with the franchise. According to The Telegraph, talks are on between Kumar Sangakkara and KKR, but he also has offers from other franchises. The former Sri Lankan international is considering his options and may take a decision in the next few days. KKR already has Chandrakant Pandit as head coach and Bharat Arun as bowling coach but they have to fill other positions as well. Batting coach Abhishek Nair and fielding coach Ryan ten Doeschate joined the Indian team after Gambhir became the head coach. The franchise is currently looking for their replacements as well. The Shreyas Iyer-led side also wants to retain most of its players for the upcoming edition of the tournament. Co-owner Shah Rukh Khan has already spoken about this in the BCCI meeting with the IPL franchises in July.

“We will know if they can replace them or not”- DK reveals the names of Pujara and Rahane’s replacements
Dinesh Karthik will be seen playing in Legends League Cricket. Dinesh Karthik (Photo Source: Getty Images) At the end of the year 2024, Team India will tour Australia for the Border Gavaskar Test Series. On this tour, Team India will be eyeing a hat-trick of victories. The Indian team has managed to beat the Kangaroos on their own land the last two times, so this time Team India will be eyeing to beat Australia in their own home for the third time in a row. However, this task is not going to be easy for Team India. In fact, many Indian players who were part of the last two Australian tours are no longer part of the current Test team. In such a situation, Team India will have to look for new players. The biggest tension in front of captain Rohit Sharma will be to find replacements for Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane. Both these players played an important role in India’s victory on the last Australia tour. Recently, when former Team India wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik was asked about the replacement of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane on the Australia tour, he named Shubman Gill and Sarfaraz Khan. Dinesh Karthik’s statement on the replacement of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane During a Q&A session with Cricbuzz, Dinesh Karthik said, “Shubman Gill and Sarfaraz Khan. Both these batsmen have done really well against England in the recent home series earlier in the year. I think both of them will definitely fly to Australia and try to do their best. We will know if they can replace both Ajinkya and Pujji (Pujara). They have a big role to play, but they have the quality and caliber.” Let us tell you that the doors of return to Team India have closed for Rahane and Pujara. Ajinkya Rahane recently scored his 40th first class century against Glamorgan while playing for Leicestershire in Division 2 of County Cricket in England. However, Pujara has been away from competitive cricket for a long time. BCCI did not give place to both Rahane and Pujara in the four squads selected for the Duleep Trophy.

All the franchises are constantly talking to the BCCI regarding the IPL retention rules. Let us tell you, many important rules can be implemented in the Indian Premier League 2025. Let us tell you, the franchise wants the Board of Control for Cricket in India to increase the retention figures further and abolish the 3 + 1 retention policy rule. Today we tell you about this rule. Actually, according to this rule, all franchises can retain a maximum of three players and can give a place to one player in their team in the auction under the RTM card. Regarding the RTM card rule, many franchises believe that this gives players a chance to earn maximum money, while some believe that due to this rule, players are tied to only one team and they cannot be seen enjoying more things. BCCI is not at all in favor of removing this rule in IPL 2025. One rule in the upcoming season could be that retired international players can be seen playing as uncapped players. So far this has not been seen in this tournament, but some veteran players of IPL want to play in this important tournament under this rule. Many great players can be seen making their mark in the upcoming season Till now there are many players in the Indian Premier League who have played an important role in the victory of their team by performing brilliantly and at the same time they have won the hearts of all the fans.

“I am not defending Virat, but…” – DK said about Kohli’s poor form in the Sri Lanka series
After a brilliant performance in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024, Virat Kohli took a short break and then joined the Indian team for the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. In the recent three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, Kohli did not look in his best form. He could not score a single half-century in this series. The most strange thing was that he was out LBW in all three matches. After tying the first ODI, Sri Lanka managed to register stunning wins against India in the second and third ODIs by 32 and 110 runs respectively. Virat Kohli’s performance in the Sri Lanka series immediately made headlines. This was the first time that Virat was out LBW in three consecutive matches of a series and all three times he lost his wicket to spinners. Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement about Virat Kohli Virat was heavily criticized for his poor performance. People are constantly talking about his struggle against spinners. Amid the criticism, former India cricketer Dinesh Karthik backed Virat and said that batting in Sri Lanka is very tough. He said that he was not trying to defend Kohli in any way, but the conditions in Sri Lanka can be very harsh for a batsman at times. Dinesh Karthik was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz, “It has been a tough pitch to play spin on in this series, let’s admit that first. Be it Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, or anyone else. With a little bit of semi new ball between about 8 to 30 overs, it has been a tough job. There is nothing to worry about. Not too many pitches work like this, but it was a tough pitch for spinners to play. I am not going to defend Virat Kohli here, but I can tell you that it was very tough to play spin.”
