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.

Big reshuffle in Virat Kohli’s team before IPL 2025 mega auction, entry of this unknown player
Before the mega auction of IPL 2025, Royal Challengers Bangalore have made changes in their coaching staff. RCB has appointed Omkar Salvi as its fast bowling coach for the upcoming 2025 IPL season.

His appointment comes at a strategic time for the franchise. RCB is looking to strengthen its backroom staff ahead of the 2025 IPL season and mega auction. Mumbai won the Ranji Trophy title under Omkar Salvi. Omkar Salvi may not be that well-known coach, but he has a lot of achievements at the domestic level. Salvi joined as the head coach of Mumbai ahead of the 2023-24 season and as soon as he arrived, he led Mumbai to its 42nd Ranji Trophy win. This was Mumbai’s first Ranji title after 8 years and the MCA subsequently decided to retain Salvi for another season. Not only this, then under him Mumbai won the Irani Cup after 27 years. Omkar Salvi does not have much experience as a player. He played only one match for Railways in the year 2005. He took only one wicket in his career but he is quite popular as a coach among the players. This year too, under his coaching, Mumbai is at third position in the elite group of Ranji Trophy. The team has scored 22 points in 5 matches. Salvi also has experience in IPL. He has also been the assistant bowling coach of Kolkata Knight Riders. Earlier, RCB had appointed Dinesh Karthik as its mentor and batting coach for IPL 2025. Karthik and Salvi have also worked together before in KKR.

This time IPL auction is going to be held in Jeddah on 24th and 25th November. Sunil Gavaskar and Shreyas Iyer (Image Credit- Twitter The auction for IPL 2025 is going to be held this time on 24 and 25 November in Jeddah city of Saudi Arabia. All the 10 franchises involved in this auction would like to purchase players and complete their respective remaining teams. On the other hand, before the start of this auction, former Indian captain and opening batsman Sunil Gavaskar has given a big statement regarding Shreyas Iyer. Gavaskar says that KKR can still bid for his services. It is noteworthy that under the captaincy of Iyer, KKR had won the IPL title of the year 2024. However, the franchise has not retained him due to disagreement over the amount being retained. KKR has retained Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Varun Chakravarthy, Sunil Narine, Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh. Sunil Gavaskar gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the IPL 2025 auction, Gavaskar, while discussing with Star Sports, said on the Game Plan show – Last year (IPL 2024) when KKR won, Shreyas Iyer was the captain. As I said earlier for Rishabh Pant, sometimes there can be disagreement regarding fees. Gavaskar further said- However, I also think that after Shreyas Iyer comes in the auction, KKR can also bid for his services. If KKR doesn’t bid, I think Delhi will do it. Gavaskar further said about the star Indian wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant, who was released from Delhi Capitals, that Delhi would like him, because if Rishabh Pant is not in their team, then they will also have to find a captain. So, I think Delhi will definitely try to use the RTM card or bring Rishabh Pant back to their team in the auction.
“He will have to talk to himself”- Ganguly gave special advice to Rahul before the start of BGT.
Lucknow Super Giants released their captain KL Rahul ahead of the IPL 2025 mega-auction. During the last edition of the tournament, the keeper-batsman had an intense conversation with owner Sanjiv Goenka after the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and it is believed that the relationship between them soured after that. Rahul will now try his luck in the mega-auction and former captain Sourav Ganguly is hopeful that he will get a good team that will understand his importance. He said that after the controversy with Goenka, the pressure might have increased on Rahul and said that the player has to talk to himself and then leave everything behind. He also highlighted that every player goes through ups and downs in his career and something similar happened with the 32-year-old. Sourav Ganguly gave important advice to KL Rahul before BGT Ganguly said there is a lot of pressure on Rahul ever since Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) released him ahead of the 2025 mega auction of the cash-rich tournament. “He has to talk to himself,” he said as quoted by RevSportz. He has to talk to himself and say, just leave everything behind. Ups and downs are part of the game. Confidence keeps going up and down. You have to work hard in the nets and get your confidence back.” Ganguly further said, “I know he has gone through a lot. Lucknow Super Giants have released him. I don’t know if they will buy it back in the auction or not. I am sure he will get a good team and he will be able to recover his price in the IPL, but these things put pressure on players.” KL Rahul is currently on Australia tour and is part of the five-match Test series. It is considered certain that he will play in the Perth Test match, because Rohit Sharma is not available yet and Shubman Gill is also injured. In such a situation, he can play in the top order. Ganguly also said that if Rohit is not available then KL Rahul should open and Dhruv Jurel should play in the middle order.

After this, KL Rahul broke his silence on his separation from LSG and said that he wants a fresh start, wants to play at a place where he gets some freedom. He wants to explore new options. Meanwhile, former India opener and commentator Aakash Chopra has advised Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to bid for KL Rahul. Aakash Chopra believes that Rahul is the right candidate to fill multiple spots in CSK’s lineup, especially as a wicketkeeper-batsman and potential captain. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, what do they want? I think they need Dhoni’s successor, a wicketkeeper-batsman and if they get an Indian then it’s great. Everyone is saying, let me also say – he is more than 30 years old, he is going to become a father. Everyone has also rejected it, so he is right for Chennai, he is KL Rahul. So they will definitely choose KL Rahul. Ashwin will also be on CSK’s target Apart from Rahul, Aakash Chopra hinted that CSK may also target experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. Chopra said, CSK has struggled with spin options apart from Ravindra Jadeja. Ashwin can bring balance to his attack in his final IPL cycle. There is also speculation about KL Rahul re-joining Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). He is ready to play with any team. Rahul’s ability to adapt to different roles could make him one of the most sought-after players in the auction.

We were very clear that the players who helped the team grow are important to continue with the team. He said, it was very easy to decide to retain Gaikwad, Jaddu, MS, Shivam Dubey and Mathisha Pathirana. But we knew that if we retained these players, we would have less money left going into the auction. We knew that we would not be able to compete with other teams when it came to the best Indian players. I mean, we’ll still try, but I don’t think we’ll be able to get them in the auction.
