Meanwhile, discussions have started regarding the mega auction of the next season. The IPL 2025 mega auction will be held at the end of the year. Before this mega auction, a big report has come out, actually the franchises want to change the number of players to be retained. BCCI is going to hold a meeting with all the 10 franchises on April 16 regarding the IPL 2025 mega auction. IPL 2025 Mega Auction: Franchises made big demands from the board The last mega auction of IPL took place in 2022, that year the rule was that franchises could retain 4 players. A player could be bought back using the ‘Right to Match’ (RTM) card, which could include a maximum of 3 Indian and 2 foreign players. Before the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, the franchises are demanding to retain 8 players instead of 4. BCCI source while talking to Times of India said, ‘Things are in a very early stage. The board is seeking recommendations to take the league forward. Player retention is a major factor in this. According to informal discussions, most of the franchises are in favor of a rule where they can retain around eight players before the auction. Franchises feel that there is a need for continuity in the team combination, so efforts should be made to retain a large part of the core team. The BCCI source also said that the franchises have also demanded to increase the current purse from Rs 90 crore to Rs 100 crore. Because BCCI now has big media rights. The BCCI source further said, ‘There will be some resistance as some franchises will want a larger pool of players in the auction to rebuild their teams. Everyone must remember that there are 10 teams now and if the number of retentions is increased, there will be a ‘cream pool’. The meeting to be held on April 16 is likely to revolve around these issues.

Interesting revelations have been made about it. Parthiv Patel was quoted by Times Now as saying: “We didn’t talk about cricket at all. We had gone there to attend the wedding of a common friend. We did not talk about cricket because we had gone to attend a wedding. We usually talk about cricket on the field only. We don’t talk about cricket on such occasions, we were just having fun. Well, there is a lot of difference between looking fit and staying fit. Maybe you’ll find someone with a six-pack.” “He will only play when it is appropriate.” Parthiv Patel further said, “But he may have a knee injury and may not be able to play the game. So whether he is fit for the game or not, only once he starts practicing, or whether he has started practicing for a long time or not, it will be right to say about it only after some time. I have also seen some pictures just before what you have seen on social media. it’s very difficult. Still there is still time for IPL. So, I am sure that if he has made up his mind or he has started playing or not playing, he will play only when it is appropriate and he will fit in right.”

He has also been given the title of God of Cricket and hence he always does not disappoint the fans who come to him. But this time he himself came to meet the fan. Actually, the Mumbai Indians mentor saw a fan wearing MI jersey and then could not stop himself from meeting him. After this, Road Safety World Series brand ambassador Sachin Tendulkar praised the fan for wearing a helmet while riding a scooter and gave him an autograph. He posted the video on his official social media handle and wrote the caption, ‘Sachin meets Tendulkar. My heart fills with joy when I see so much love showered on me. It’s the love of people that keeps coming from unexpected corners, that makes life so special.’ Sachin stopped the car to meet, watch video- Recently Sachin Tendulkar praised Ollie Pope and Tom Hartley. Due to the excellent performance of both, the visiting team defeated India by 28 runs in the first Test match and took a 1-0 lead in the five-match Test series. Former cricketer praised Ollie Pope and Tom Hartley After the match, the veteran cricketer wrote on X, the best stories are the ones with unexpected twists and Ollie Pope has written the script for his team. When his team was in trouble, he played with good shot selection, staying positive and good footwork, especially against our spinners. This is certainly an extraordinary performance by an Englishman on Indian soil. He further wrote, England fought very well to win the first Test and the series ahead will be exciting. Even after losing 5 wickets in the second innings, they managed to add more than 250 runs and those partnerships cost us the match. Sachin said, despite being ahead in the Test at one point, India has lost and will have to think of something to do before the next Test. For me, Tom Hartley and Ollie Pope were exceptional performers.
