Before the mega auction of IPL 2025, the franchise may release these 3 captains
Today we tell you about three such players who can be removed from the captaincy before the mega auction of IPL 2025. IPL 2025 (Pic Source-X) All Indian fans are eagerly waiting for the Indian Premier League 2025. The mega auction of this great tournament is going to happen very soon. All the franchises would like to include many great players in their team in the upcoming mega auction. There will be some captains who captained their respective franchises in the 2024 season but they can be removed from this important post in the 2025 season. Today we tell you about three such players who can be removed from the captaincy before the mega auction of IPL 2025. Not only this, all these three players can also be seen playing for different teams in the upcoming edition. 1. Shubman Gill Shubman Gill (BCCI/IPL) Before the Indian Premier League 2024 season, Mumbai Indians traded Hardik Pandya from Gujarat Titans and appointed him as the captain of their team. After this, Gujarat Titans made the excellent opening batsman Shubman Gill their captain in the 2024 season. Let us tell you, under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, Gujarat Titans won the Indian Premier League 2022 trophy while also made it to the final of the 2023 season. After Hardik Pandya left the Gujarat team, many people expected that Rashid Khan could be appointed as the new captain of the team. However, the franchise handed over this important responsibility to Shubman Gill. Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, Gujarat Titans’ performance was very poor in the Indian Premier League 2024. The team won only 5 out of 14 matches while they lost 7. Gujarat Titans were at the eighth position in the points table of IPL 2024.
Aakash Chopra slammed the management for the continuous changes in the batting lineup of the Indian team during the Sri Lanka tour
India performed poorly in the ODI series and were defeated by Sri Lanka 2–0. Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) India’s tour of Sri Lanka ended on 7 August. In this tour, India clean swept Sri Lanka 3-0 in the T20 series. However, India’s performance in the ODI series was quite poor and Sri Lanka defeated them 2-0. Under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir, the Indian team could not perform well in the ODI format. In this ODI series, it was seen that a lot of changes have been made in the batting lineup of the Indian players. Former player Aakash Chopra put forward his point of view regarding this. In the T20 series, Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh and Riyan Parag also bowled very well and took important wickets for their team. However, in this tour, the players of the Indian team failed to bat well. Aakash Chopra said on his official YouTube channel, ‘Number four has now become a revolving door as we have given batting order to different players in every match. What is the idea of making a player like KL Rahul bat at number 6 or number seven? Why don’t you fight from the beginning? In India, KL Rahul was included in the playing XI for only two matches and then he was dropped. It was really surprising to see this because KL Rahul was in his plans since 2023. This is also because no one else had scored more runs than him in the middle order since 2023. Number four has now become a matter of concern for the Indian team Let us tell you, in the first ODI match played between India and Sri Lanka, Washington Sundar batted at number four but he scored only five runs. After this, Shivam Dubey was given this important responsibility in the second ODI but he could not even open his account and India lost the match. In the third and final ODI match, Rishabh Pant was included in the team and was given batting at number four but he returned to the pavilion after scoring good runs. The Indian team will have to give a chance to such a player in this order as soon as possible, who can bat well at number four and win the hearts of all the fans. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

“It’s a joke…” Why was KL Rahul dropped from the team for the third ODI? Former cricketer demands an answer
Dodda Ganesh has criticised the Indian management for their decision to leave out an experienced player like KL Rahul for this do-or-die encounter. KL Rahul (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Former India fast bowler Dodda Ganesh has questioned the decision to drop KL Rahul and replace him with Shivam Dubey in the ODI match against Sri Lanka. Ganesh called the move ridiculous and said that KL Rahul had captained India in this format only a short time ago. Sri Lanka won the series 2-0 by defeating India by 110 runs in the third and final ODI played at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Wednesday, 7 August. Batting first, the host team scored 248 runs. After this, Dunith Welalage took 5 wickets for 27 runs in 5.1 overs and the Indian team collapsed for 138 runs in 26.1 overs. The Men in Blue made two changes to their playing XI for this do-or-die encounter. Rishabh Pant replaced KL Rahul, while Riyan Parag replaced Arshdeep Singh. Ganesh on his X handle has criticised the Indian management for the decision to leave out an experienced player like KL Rahul for this do-or-die encounter. Ganesh wrote in his post “Only a crazy person would replace KL Rahul with Shivam Dube and Riyan Parag for such an important match. Can’t understand what is happening. He was leading India just 3 ODIs ago and suddenly, after a flop performance, he is out of the playing XI. What a joke. Only in a crazy universe will u have Dube and Riyan Parag playing ahead of KL Rahul, in a decider ODI. Don’t understand what’s happening. He was leading India just 3 ODIs ago and all of a sudden, one failure & he is out of the playing XI. Ridiculous is an understatement. #SLvIND — Dodda Ganesh दौद्ग गानेश (@doddaganesha) August 7, 2024 The 51-year-old former Karnataka fast bowler also warned that dropping players after one or two failures could create a sense of insecurity in them. He wrote in the next post- “If a player who had great success last year can be dropped on a technicality after one failure, it creates a sense of insecurity among the players. Well, you can’t build a cricket team like that. Who would have thought that India would lose so easily to Sri Lanka?” If a player who’s had great success in the last year can be dropped after technically one failure, it creates a sense of insecurity amongst players. Well, you can’t build cricket teams like this. Who would’ve thought that India would lose to SL so convincingly? #SLvIND — Dodda Ganesh दौद्ग गानेश (@doddaganesha) August 7, 2024 What is your opinion? Was it the right move to keep KL Rahul out of the team in the last decisive match?

In the match, Sri Lanka batted first and scored 240 runs for the loss of 9 wickets. In response, Team India had a good start while chasing the target. Captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill had a partnership of 97 runs for the first wicket. But the team faltered again and was all out for 208 runs in 42.2 overs. Jeffrey Vandersay took the maximum of 6 wickets for Sri Lanka. Team India would like to win the third ODI and end the series at 1-1. The Sri Lankan team will enter the match with the intention of winning the series. Let us tell you which records can be made by the players during the third ODI match- These records can be made during the third ODI match- 1. KL Rahul (199) is about to play the 200th match of his international career. 2. Charith Asalanka (1957) is 43 runs away from completing 2000 runs in the ODI format. 3.

IND vs SL 3rd ODI: These 3 big changes are decided in Team India for the third ODI
IND vs SL 3rd ODI: The third and final match of the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka will be played on August 7 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Gautam Gambhir, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer (Source X) IND vs SL 3rd ODI: The third and final match of the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka will be played on August 7 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The Indian team has suffered a setback in this series and now they will have to win the last match at all costs to end the series on a draw. Therefore, Team India needs to correct the mistakes made in the last two matches and then enter the field. The repair work has to be done by making changes in the team’s playing eleven. Accordingly, there is every possibility of 3 big changes in Team India for the third ODI match. Riyan Parag replaces Shivam Dubey The inclusion of Riyan Parag in the playing eleven in place of Shivam Dubey in the third ODI will strengthen the team. This is because the Colombo pitch helps spin bowlers. Dubey has performed well in the past as well, but considering the circumstances, Riyan Parag may be a better option for the third ODI. Apart from this, Riyan Parag can also be selected in the team in place of Shreyas Iyer. Rishabh Pant may replace KL Rahul Wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul has disappointed in this ODI series. KL Rahul could not contribute much in both the matches of the series. Rahul scored 31 runs in the first ODI but failed to lead the team to victory. In the second match, Rahul faced only two balls and got out. In such a situation, Rishabh Pant can get a chance as a wicketkeeper in place of KL Rahul. With Rishabh coming into the team, the selection of left-handed batsmen in the playing 11 will also increase. It is necessary to give a chance to Harshit Rana There is not much help for fast bowlers in Colombo, apart from this Arshdeep Singh and Mohammad Siraj have managed to take two wickets each so far. In such a situation, it could be a good plan to include young fast and aggressive bowler Harshit Rana in the team in his place. Harshit Rana caught everyone’s attention with his good cutter and slow bowling in the IPL. Not only this, Rana can also contribute through batting. In such a situation, there is every possibility that Rana will enter the team for the third match. See Also: IND vs SL Dream11 Prediction 3rd ODI in Hindi
IND vs SL 3rd ODI: These 4 Indian players can be the reason for defeat in the third ODI
In this article, we will talk about those 4 Indian players who can be the reason for Team India’s defeat in the third ODI match (IND vs SL 3rd ODI). IND vs SL (Photo Source: Getty Images) IND vs SL 3rd ODI: The third and final ODI match between India and Sri Lanka will be played on August 7. While the first ODI match between the two teams ended in a draw, the Indian team had to face defeat in the second ODI. Sri Lanka won by 32 runs while defending 241 runs. The Indian team needed 241 runs to win this match. But the Indian team’s innings ended at 208 runs. In this article, we will talk about those 4 Indian players who can be the reason for Team India’s defeat in the third ODI match. Virat Kohli Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Getty Images) Like the first ODI match, in the second match too Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill gave a good start to the Indian team. Both of them together added 97 runs. From here the target was very close. At that time Virat Kohli came to bat. He wanted to take the innings forward. But in this match too he returned cheaply. Virat Kohli had scored just 14 runs. After Virat was out, the Indian team’s score was 116 runs for 3 wickets. Earlier in the first ODI too, he had returned cheaply, he had scored only 24 runs. A batsman like Virat Kohli getting out cheaply raises some questions. Kohli is called a chase master but his bat has remained silent in both the matches. If such a performance comes from his side in the third ODI (IND vs SL 3rd ODI) too, then the situation can get worse for India. Shreyas Iyer Shreyas Iyer (Image Credit- Twitter X) After being out of the team for almost 10 months, Shreyas Iyer got a chance to return to the Indian team. But he has been a super flop in the first two matches. While chasing the runs in the first match of the series, he returned after scoring 23 runs, while in the second match he could score only 7 runs. Being an important part of the team’s middle order, this kind of form of Iyer can become a problem for the team. KL Rahul KL Rahul (Image Credit- Twitter X) KL Rahul played an important innings in the first match. He made an important partnership with Akshar Patel and on the basis of this partnership he brought the Indian team very close to victory. However, that match was drawn. But in the second ODI match, he returned to the pavilion on zero. KL Rahul is also an important part of the team’s middle order. The team has a lot of expectations from him and being a big match player, his poor performance is a big blow to the team. shivam dubey Shivam Dube.

“If he improves his approach then in T20…”- Former cricketer gave such a statement about KL Rahul
KL Rahul played his last match for India in the T20 format during the T20 World Cup 2022. KL Rahul (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Indian player KL Rahul was not a part of the champion Indian team of T20 World Cup 2024. KL Rahul played the last match for India in this format during the T20 World Cup 2022. Rahul also did not get a chance in the T20 series of Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka tour, which clearly indicates that the management no longer sees him as a T20 format player. However, former Indian player Dodda Ganesh believes that KL Rahul can still make a comeback in the shortest format of the game. However, Rahul needs to change his intent. He can still make a comeback if he improves his approach- Dodda Ganesh Dodda Ganesh tweeted on social media and wrote, If KL Rahul improves his approach in T20, he can still make a comeback and perform well for the Indian team in T20 Internationals. He is such a good talent that he will be missed for a long time. If KL Rahul rectifies his approach in the T20s he can still make a comeback and have a great stint with the Indian team in the T20Is. He is too good a talent to be missing out for long #DoddaMathu #SLvIND — Dodda Ganesh दौद्ग गानेश (@doddaganesha) August 1, 2024 KL Rahul scored 520 runs at a strike rate of 136.13 while playing for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2024. It is difficult to choose between KL Rahul and Pant- Rohit Sharma The Indian team is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka. After winning the T20 series, the team is now ready to play the ODI series from August 2 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. In the series against Sri Lanka, who among KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant should be given a place in the playing 11 as a wicketkeeper batsman is going to be a big headache for coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma. KL Rahul has shown a great game for India in the ODI World Cup 2023. At the same time, Rishabh Pant made a comeback in international cricket from the T20 World Cup 2024 after injury, he is now ready for a bang comeback in the ODI format as well. Speaking ahead of the first ODI against Sri Lanka, Rohit Sharma said, It is difficult to choose between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. Both are match winners in their own way. But it is a good problem and I want such problems. We will decide tomorrow.
IND vs SL: Pant or Rahul, who will get a chance in the first ODI match? Know what Captain Hitman said
KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are part of Team India for the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Getty Images) After winning the T20 series against Sri Lanka 3-0, Team India will now be eyeing to win the upcoming ODI series. The first match of the three-match ODI series will be played tomorrow (2 August) at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Before this match, the biggest headache for captain Rohit Sharma will be whether Rishabh Pant should be selected in the playing eleven as a wicketkeeper or should he stick with KL Rahul? Meanwhile, before the match, captain Rohit Sharma has given a statement on this. He has said that it is a good thing to have such a problem. He also told who he would choose as wicketkeeper batsman for this match. Rohit Sharma gave this answer on the selection of Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul Captain Rohit Sharma, while answering this question in the press conference before the match, said how would he choose between KL Rahul and Rishabh? He said, “It is a difficult decision. Both of them are excellent players. You know the capabilities of both the players. When you have such quality, it is not easy to choose a team or player. Both these players are like that. They are match winners on their day. They have won many matches for us in the past.” Captain Rohit further said, “It is always good to have problems in selecting a team like this. You know, when you discuss a lot about who to choose and who not to, it means that there is quality in the team. So I think it is a good thing to have such problems and I wait for such problems as long as I am the captain.” From these statements of Rohit Sharma, it seems that Rishabh Pant may have to wait for now, because KL Rahul has been performing well as a wicketkeeper batsman for a long time. Rahul last played the ODI series in South Africa. At the same time, Pant played his last ODI international match in November 2022. He had a car accident in December.
