DTVHINDI“Make Akshar the captain, he is greatly underestimated”- Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding the captaincy of DC.
Aakash Chopra and Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter Former player Aakash Chopra believes that Delhi Capitals (DC) should appoint Axar Patel as their captain before KL Rahul for IPL 2025. He said that the spin-bowling all-rounder has been a great performer for the franchise and will lead the team well. Delhi Capitals had released their last season’s captain Rishabh Pant before the auction, while retaining Akshar for ₹16.50 crore. They failed to re-acquire Pant but bought Rahul for ₹14 crore. Delhi Capitals should make Akshar Patel the captain – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Who will be the captain? Their situation is like KKR. Could be Akshar Patel. I have no objection to him becoming the captain. If you give me a choice, I would say make Akshar the captain. He is very underrated, very mature, performs brilliantly and will run the team very well. He is a player who will be respected.” Delhi Capitals have included KL Rahul in their camp by paying Rs 14 crore, this is also being said to be the steeliest deal of this auction. On one hand, the bid for Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer has crossed Rs 26 crores, on the other hand, if a team gets a player like KL Rahul for Rs 14 crores, then it would not be wrong to call it the steeliest deal. Chopra further said, “KL Rahul can be another option. The third option could be Faf du Plessis, if they so choose, but they cannot start Faf from the start as they have used the Right to Match (RTM) card for Jake Fraser-McGurk. So I am thinking between Akshar and Rahul, but the management has not given any clarity yet. My vote is in favor of Akshar because his performance on this field has been exceptional.”
IPL 2025: Jitesh Sharma beats Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer in the matter of fee increase in mega auction, read big news
RCB bought Jitesh for Rs 11 crore in the mega auction. Jitesh Sharma (Photo Source: Twitter) On 24th and 25th November of this month, the mega auction for IPL 2025 was seen in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. All the 10 franchises involved in this mega auction spent a total of Rs 383 crore to buy 120 players. Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh was the first player to be sold in this auction. Arshdeep was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 18 crore. So in this auction, star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has become the most expensive player to be sold in the history of IPL. Pant was bought by Lucknow Super Giants for a huge amount of Rs 27 crores. So Shreyas Iyer was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 26.75 crore. However, in this mega auction, Indian wicketkeeper batsman Jitesh Sharma has left behind players like Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer in terms of salary increase percentage. Let us tell you that in this auction, Jitesh had kept his base price at Rs 2 crore, but in the IPL 2024 season, his salary was Rs 20 lakh and he was seen playing for Punjab Kings. But in this mega auction, Jitesh was added to the IPL 2016 season’s runner-up Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by paying a huge amount of Rs 11 crore. So this is a 5500 percent increase in Jitesh’s IPL salary. This increase has not been seen in the salary of any IPL player yet. Jitesh will play the role of finisher in RCB in IPL 2025 Let us tell you that Jitesh Sharma made his IPL debut for Punjab Kings in IPL 2022. So in the next two years the player’s strike rate was 163 and 156. However, IPL 2024 was a forgettable one for the player. Last season, he was able to score only 187 runs at a meager strike rate of 131. So after the retirement of Dinesh Karthik, RCB has included Jitesh in the team as a finisher.
Know how Rishabh Pant can earn more than Rs 27 crore in IPL 2025?
Pant has become the most expensive player to be sold in IPL history. Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter X) Indian cricket team’s star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has recently become the most expensive player to be sold in IPL history. It is noteworthy that Pant has been included in their team by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by paying a record Rs 27 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. However, Delhi Capitals fans got a big shock when Pant was released by the team. However, after this there was a possibility that DC would take Pant back into the team through Right to Match (RTM). But when Lucknow made a bid of Rs 27 crore, Delhi refused to take Pant at this price. Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad were also seen bidding for Pant in the auction. Pant will earn more than Rs 27 crore in IPL 2025 For your information, let us tell you that Rishabh Pant will earn a little more than Rs 27 crore in IPL 2025. It is noteworthy that before the mega auction, a change was announced in the rules prepared by the IPL Governing Council regarding the match fees of the players. Let us tell you that according to the new rules, for playing every IPL match, the player will be given a match fee of Rs 7.50 lakh per match. Also, Pant is likely to be made the captain of Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025. Accordingly, if he, being the captain, plays all the 14 matches, he will get Rs 1.05 crore as match fee. According to this, Pant is going to be seen earning a total of Rs 28.05 crore in IPL 2025. IPL 2025 is important for Pant It is noteworthy that Pant had made a spectacular comeback through IPL 2024 after a road accident in December 2022. This season he scored a total of 446 runs at an average of 40.55. Because of this performance, he also got a chance to play in the T20 World Cup 2024. But he could not perform after the first few matches. Currently, Sanju Samson is performing amazingly while opening for Team India in T20 cricket, so IPL 2025 becomes very important for Rishabh Pant.
IPL 2025: “They have RRR…”, Aakash Chopra said about KKR’s batting lineup.
Aakash Chopra says that KKR’s biggest strength in the upcoming season is Rinku Singh, Andre Russell and Ramandeep Singh (RRR). Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, Kolkata Knight Riders bought Rinku Singh (13 crore), Varun Chakraborty (12 crore), Sunil Narine (12 crore), Andre Russell (12 crore), Harshit Rana (4 crore) and Ramandeep Singh (4 crore). ) was retained. The team had entered the auction with a purse of Rs 51 crore. The goal of the franchise was to buy top players in a limited budget, in which the team was successful. KKR bought Venkatesh Iyer for Rs 23.75 crore. Besides, they also got players like Umran Malik, Manish Pandey, Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali and Spencer Johnson at cheap prices. Kolkata does not have Shreyas Iyer, under whose leadership the franchise became champion last season. But overall the team’s squad is quite good. Meanwhile, cricket commentator Aakash Chopra says that the biggest strength of KKR in the upcoming season (RRR) is Rinku Singh, Andre Russell and Ramandeep Singh. He also emphasized that the middle order of the team is tremendous. Akash Chopra said this about KKR’s batting lineup While talking in the video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, There is a lot of depth in his batting. They are explosive. They have RRR. Ramandeep is now an Indian player and he has also matured. So Rinku, Russell and Ramandeep are your three batsmen who can bat at numbers four, five and six. This number four, five and six could be one of the better numbers 4 to 6 in the league. Apart from this, Venkatesh Iyer and Angkrish Raghuvanshi are also there. That’s why there is a lot of power in batting. He has done this work very well. He has continued what he did last year. Last year, Shreyas Iyer had a very small role in batting. Of course, he contributed as captain. Although they do not have Shreyas, Nitish Rana and Phil Salt, RRR have depth and explosiveness in the batting. No one can hit Varun and Sunil – Chopra Aakash Chopra also described spinners Varun Chakraborty and Sunil Narine as Kolkata’s strength for the upcoming season. He said, “His spin bowling. It is the same as last year – Varun Chakraborty from one end and Sunil Narine from the other. This is your mystery spin bank of eight overs. Nobody is able to read these spinners or hit them. Everyone struggles against them.”

If all the players remain fully fit then the team can secure its place in the Final 4. I would be surprised if the team does not make it to the Final 4. To tell the truth, I was quite surprised last season also. It seems that a lot of things did not go well for the team last season but now it has become a whole family.
