“I will keep Akshar Patel at number 2”- Aakash Chopra expressed his opinion regarding the retention of Delhi Capitals.
Rishabh Pant is the captain of Delhi Capitals in IPL. Aakash Chopra and Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter Former Team India batsman Aakash Chopra believes that Axar Patel should be the second retention of Delhi Capitals (DC) ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. He pointed out that the spin-bowling all-rounder has performed excellently for the franchise and it could prove costly for them if they try to re-acquire him through the ‘Right to Match’ card. Delhi Capitals failed to qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs and the team finished sixth after the league stage ended. Axar was one of the star performers for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024. He scored 235 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 131.28 and took 11 wickets in 44 overs at an economy rate of 7.65. Aakash Chopra gives advice to Delhi Capitals regarding retention In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel should be the first two retentions of Delhi Capitals. He said, “Rishabh Pant needs to be retained, although earlier there were rumors that he would not stay. However, now they are saying that it has been confirmed that he will be staying. So keep Rishabh Pant as your first retention, Rs 18 crore there.” The former opener further said, “I would say Axar Patel at number 2 because Bapu’s performance has been excellent for this team. He bowls four overs, bats very well and is a good fielder. If you keep him in the auction, you will have to pay a lot for RTM, so I think you should retain him.” Chopra admitted that the franchises may retain five capped players ahead of the auction. However, he added that apart from Rishabh Pant, Delhi Capitals do not have any players who should be retained for ₹18 crore, and hence they should limit themselves to only three capped retentions.

He said, “It looks good for India also. Before captaining against Sri Lanka, I had also led the team against Australia and South Africa. I have learned from other captains how to take the team forward. Let’s look ahead, keep moving. You will come to know the rest.” Surya has scored a lot of runs in the IPL in the last few years and that is why he was successful in making his debut for Team India in the year 2021. After his debut, Surya scored a lot of runs with his bat and within no time he became the number-1 batsman in the T20I rankings. Thanks to this amazing performance, Surya is now handling the responsibility of captaining the Indian T20I team.

Sanjay Bangar (Photo Source: Punjab Kings’ Head of Cricket Development Sanjay Bangar has prepared his team’s strategy for the upcoming IPL 2025 mega-auction. If Mumbai Indians decide to release Rohit Sharma, then he has a plan ready for that as well. Bangar believes that Rohit will be in great demand and if he comes in the auction, he will get a good price. Punjab Kings (PBKS) will try to build a good team through the mega-auction. Also, the team needs an experienced captain like Rohit Sharma. In such a situation, if Rohit Sharma comes into the auction pool, then Punjab Kings will want to buy him at any cost.

(Photo Source: Twitter) Many important issues were discussed in the meeting held yesterday at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.

In this meeting, the owner of Sunrisers Hyderabad has put forward some big demands before the upcoming season. SRH owner Kavya Maran made this demand in the meeting of BCCI and Owners According to a Cricbuzz report, SRH owner Kavya Maran has said, “It takes a lot of time to build a team and as discussed, grooming young players also takes a lot of time and investment. It took Abhishek Sharma 3 years to bring stability in his performance. You will agree that other teams have many such examples. She prefers mini auctions every year instead of mega auctions. Kavya Maran further said, “After being bought in the auction, if a player does not play the entire season for any reason other than injury, he should be banned. The franchise puts a lot of effort in the auction, if a player goes for a low amount and he does not come. So it affects the team combination.” Along with this, SRH owner has demanded to remove the restriction on the number of foreign players, because last time BCCI allowed to retain maximum 2 foreign players only, since every team is formed in different way which includes Indian players, foreign players and uncapped players.
IPL: Gujarat Titans franchise may be sold soon, apart from Adani Group, this company is in the race

Let us tell you that CVC Capital Partners, which owns the Gujarat Titans franchise, has expressed its desire to sell most of the stake in the team. It is worth noting that in the year 2021, CVC bought the franchise for four years by paying a huge amount of Rs 5625 crore. At the same time, as per the rules framed by BCCI for IPL, any company which buys the ownership of IPL franchise cannot transfer its stake to any other company before the prescribed lock-in period. Whereas this lock-in period of CVC Capital Partners is ending in February 2025. Also, if the media reports of Economic Times are to be believed, Adani Group and Torrent Group have shown interest in buying the ownership of Gujarat Titans franchise. CVC Group now wants to exit the ownership of the company, while Adani Group has made a bid of Rs 5100 crore and Torrent Group has made a bid of Rs 4653 crore to acquire new ownership. Well, now it will be interesting to see which group is going to take the ownership of Gujarat Titans team? Gujarat Titans will have their eyes set on IPL 2025 On the other hand, if we talk about the performance of Gujarat Titans team in IPL, the team has played a total of 3 seasons so far, in which it has performed brilliantly. In 2022, the team won the IPL title in its debut season itself, while it was the runner-up of IPL 2023. However, the team’s performance in IPL 2024 was not very good. The one-time champion team was able to win only five out of the 14 matches played. So now its eyes will be on improving its performance in the upcoming season of IPL.
