Just a few days ago, former South African captain AB de Villiers had predicted that Virat Kohli will lead the franchise next year. Virat Kohli left the captaincy of RCB after 2021. R Ashwin made a big prediction regarding Virat Kohli Now R Ashwin said on his YouTube channel, “There is every possibility that Virat Kohli will captain the team. I feel the same way because they didn’t go for the captain. If he doesn’t go with anyone then I don’t see anyone other than Virat Kohli as captain.” Regarding RCB’s auction, the spinner further said, “I think their auction was very excellent. Many teams had brought crores of rupees in their purse. They were spending fast but RCB waited even after having a lot of money. Who needs it, they’re the ones I need. My entire team is important. My 12 or 14 people are important. Let us tell you that in the mega auction held in Jeddah, RCB bought players like Tim David, Josh Hazlewood, Phil Salt, Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma. Now it remains to be seen which playing XI he will field with in the upcoming season and whether he can get them their first title or not.

“This was necessary to wake him up from his sleep” – DC’s Honorary Parth Jindal said about Prithvi Shaw
Prithvi Shaw (Image Credit- Twitter X) Prithvi Shaw, once considered one of India’s brightest cricket talents, remained unsold in the IPL 2025 mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The 25-year-old batsman, who led India to victory in the 2018 U19 World Cup, had entered the auction with a base price of Rs 75 lakh but still remained unsold. Shaw, who was released by Delhi Capitals after a six-year stint, has been a key player in the franchise since 2018. However, due to lack of consistency in performance and questions over his fitness, no franchise bid on him. However, due to his lack of performance, Delhi also did not bid on him in the IPL 2025 auction. On this issue, DC co-owner Parth Jindal says that Shaw needed such a shock. Parth Jindal gave a big statement regarding Prithvi Shaw Speaking to Sports Today, Parth Jindal said, “Prithvi is a great kid. He has been misunderstood in many ways. And I think we all need a jolt as we grow up and wake us up from our slumber. Sometimes I needed that shock too. You grow up hearing all your life that you are special, you are the most talented, you are the only batsman in the world other than Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli to have an MRF bat. “It tells you what everyone thought of him.” He further said, “Some call you Lara, some call you Sachin, some call you the next big player. You grow up in such an environment, and everyone from Mumbai Cricket talks big about you. I think this was the shock the Earth needed. By now, he was on a hefty IPL contract, playing for Mumbai in all formats. At least he was a starter for DC. I think he needs to work harder. He needs to love the game of cricket. He needs to get back to the nets, regain his fitness. He needs to come back and understand where he went wrong and be disciplined.”

“We lost Rishabh only when we did not retain him” – Did Pant leave DC for money?

Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter X) India’s star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant, who was playing for Delhi Capitals in the IPL till last season, will be seen playing for Lucknow Super Giants this season. After the two-day mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Delhi Capitals owner Parth Jindal made a big statement about Rishabh Pant and told why Pant left Delhi Capitals. Parth has now told what is the real reason for Pant’s departure from Delhi Capitals. When Parth was asked how he felt when Pant’s price reached Rs 27 crore, he replied, ‘I think we lost Rishabh only when we did not retain him. We have to be honest with ourselves and not kid ourselves that we could have got him back in the auction. If we had bought Rishabh at that money, we would have completely ruined the Delhi Capitals auction. Rishabh Pant would have been a different proposition for 18 crores and a completely different proposition for 27 crores. Without fooling myself or anyone else, I would like to say that we lost Rishabh only when we did not retain him. Rishabh Pant himself decided that I do not want to stay here – Parth Jindal Boria Majumdar asked Parth Jindal that Rishabh Pant had written a message that money was not the reason, now you said that we did not retain, so if there was single ownership, would things have been different? On this, Parth Jindal said, ‘No, I don’t think it is a matter of ownership here. We were all on the same page when it came to the ownership group. This decision has been taken together. We had a lot of discussion with Rishabh about what we expected from him, which we did not get last year or in the years before that. We gave him very honest feedback. Me and Kiran… GMR and JSW group are one family. We gave him feedback, and he didn’t take it the way we expected. And yes… then he took an emotional decision, he has grown up in this franchise. He was a young boy when he started, Delhi Daredevils and Kiran gave him his first chance. I joined this franchise later and after that my relationship with Pant became very special. Rishabh himself decided that he does not want to stay here. Kiran and I tried hard to stop him but he decided he wanted to go in a different direction, which we respected. I had told Rishabh that we will not go after you in the auction, but then in the auction I followed my heart, we tried to bring him back, Kiran told me that we will see the rest later, let’s bring him now. , But then the price increased too much and we had to pull out, it has nothing to do with ownership.

EXCLUSIVE: “Was very aware of Dhoni’s importance in world cricket” – Richard Madley said while remembering the 2008 IPL auction.
Richard Madley. (Source – Getty Images/Wales Online) Richard Madley, who is known as the first person to host an Indian Premier League (IPL) auction, recently discussed many interesting things about his experience of being the auctioneer at the mega event. He hosted the inaugural IPL auction on February 20, 2008, and continued hosting the auction until the 2018 edition. Recently Madley was asked whether he had any prior knowledge about MS Dhoni before entering the auction. The star wicketkeeper-batsman was the most expensive player at the event as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bought him for $1,500,000 (approximately Rs 6 crore) after the bidding started at $400,000 (approximately Rs 1.6 crore). Richard Madley gave a big statement regarding MS Dhoni Madley, in an exclusive chat with CricTracker, said that he was fully aware of Dhoni’s stature in the field of cricket as he was a cricket fan and the Indian captain’s unrealistic demand at the time of that auction did not surprise him. Richard Madley said, “I was very aware of Dhoni’s importance to Indian cricket, world cricket. I am a cricket fan, you know, I follow the game closely. So I knew he was potentially a player who was going to set things up. The first IPL auction, now, of course, it is random (auction set), you don’t know whose name will be the first to come out of that velvet bag that day. The former auctioneer said that, and I think Dhoni was thinking about the number five or six player. I think it was his fourth or fifth name that day and when his name came everyone went ‘aah’. And in those days, we used small cricket balls which were kept in a velvet bag. And on that came a player number, set number, which was his and there was a noise around the room you could tell there was excitement within the room.
‘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.
IPL Mega Auction: Irfan Pathan’s big prediction, Starc’s auction record is in danger, this Indian player will break it…..
Irfan Pathan. (Photo Source: Twitter) Team India’s former star all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes that wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant will break Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc’s record of being the most expensive player in IPL (Indian Premier League) history. Let us tell you that, Starc was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for Rs 24.75 crore during the IPL 2024 mini-auction. Mitchell Starc had overtaken his Australian teammate Pat Cummins’s price of Rs 20.50 crore in the same auction. Cummins was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). However, Pathan feels that Rishabh Pant can break that record in the upcoming auction as he will be the most sought-after player in the auction. This time, big names like KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami, Venkatesh Iyer, Ishan Kishan will enter the IPL mega auction. Irfan Pathan tweeted on Twitter and wrote, ‘Mitchell Starc’s auction record is in danger. Rishabh Pant is ready to break it. Rishabh Pant was a part of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024 Rishabh Pant was earlier a part of Delhi Capitals and he has also captained that team. Pant was not retained this time and he is going to enter the auction. Lucknow Super Giants, KKR also did not retain their captains and both KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer will enter the auction. The mega auction is scheduled to take place on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A total of 574 players have registered their names for the mega auction, of which 366 are Indian and 208 are foreign players. There are a total of 81 players in the base price of Rs 2 crore. Now it remains to be seen whether this prediction of Irfan Pathan proves correct or not.
