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.
Delhi Capitals owner Parth Jindal’s big statement, said- I was surprised when some people said that there will be no mega auction at all…
Recently BCCI has held a meeting with the IPL franchise owners. Parth Jindal (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) held a meeting with all the 10 team owners of IPL teams at its Mumbai headquarters. The main objective of this meeting was to discuss the smooth running of the tournament, opinions, demands and other things. On the other hand, after this meeting held at the BCCI headquarters, a big statement has come from Delhi Capitals owner Parth Jindal. Jindal says that when there was a debate about ending the mega auction in this meeting, he was very surprised by this. Parth Jindal gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the recent BCCI meeting, Parth Jindal was quoted by India Today as saying – There was no real result of this meeting. It was just to listen to the different views of all the owners and the BCCI has listened to us. Now they will tell us all the rules. Hopefully, by the end of August we will know about the rules for the next season. Jindal further said about the debate on ending the IPL mega auction- I was there in that meeting. There was a debate between some people. I was surprised because some people were saying that there should be no mega auction at all, there should be only mini auction. I am not one of the groups who are saying that the mega auction should be done away with. It is the auction that makes the game equal. It is great for everyone. It is what makes the IPL what it is, it makes it competitive. Jindal further said about the demands of the franchise owners- We are not unanimous on most of the demands. But I think BCCI will take the right decision as per its discretion. I think the chairman and secretary of the IPL Governing Council will take a decision on this.
IPL 2025 Mega Auction: These 3 issues will be finalised before the auction- Read how IPL will change
The IPL franchise owners and the BCCI have a meeting on July 31 in Mumbai to discuss some key agendas ahead of the upcoming IPL 2025 mega auction. IPL 2023 Auction (Image Source: BCCI-IPL) IPL 2025 Mega Auction: IPL franchise owners and BCCI have a meeting in Mumbai on July 31 to discuss some key agendas ahead of the upcoming IPL 2025 mega auction. The biggest topic of discussion in the meeting will be the purse value of all IPL teams, which is likely to increase. Apart from this, the IPL Impact Player rules and the number of retentions per team during the IPL 2025 mega auction will also be discussed. What is the agenda of this meeting? Increase in purse value According to reports, the meeting between IPL franchise owners and BCCI will take place at the newly renovated BCCI office at the Wankhede Stadium. The IPL owners are reportedly excited as the purse value for each team is likely to increase. Currently, each side has a purse value of Rs 100 crore, so it is expected that the purse value will be increased by 20-25%. That means the purse value will now be Rs 120-125 crore. Higher purse value means that the franchises will have more room for manoeuvre and will be able to bid at any price for their top players. Impact player rule may be abolished Apart from this, there could also be a push to abolish the impact player rule, which has been heavily criticised by former cricketers and legends like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Increase in the number of players to be retained The number of players to be retained ahead of the mega auction may be increased from four to five. Notably, in the last IPL mega auction, the BCCI allowed each side to retain four players, but this year the number may increase to five to keep all the franchises happy. Naturally, IPL teams that have performed well will want to retain their core players. While other teams that have not had as much success will want to reset their squad. A source said- “Obviously, continuity and maintaining a core is very important going forward. Maybe six (retentions) will be allowed, which will include some RTM cards. That means at least one uncapped player will also be included in the retention. But there may be some debate on the number of foreign retentions.” “There are teams like Delhi Capitals (Jake Fraser-McGurk and Tristan Stubbs) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (Pat Cummins, Heinrich Klaasen and Travis Head) who would want more than one overseas retention,”
Glenn Maxwell left RCB team before IPL 2025 mega auction, know why he parted ways?
Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has unfollowed the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) account on Instagram. Glenn Maxwell (Image Credit- Twitter X) In a shocking development in the Indian Premier League, explosive all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has hinted at his exit from RCB ahead of the mega auction for the 2025 IPL. Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has unfollowed the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) account on Instagram. There could be many reasons for this and one of them is that according to some sources, Royal Challengers Bangalore did not want to retain Maxwell. Maxwell got to know about this, perhaps that is why he has unfollowed RCB on Instagram. As the mega auction process for the IPL 2025 edition is getting closer, Glenn Maxwell’s future with the RCB team is uncertain. Glenn Maxwell’s journey with RCB Glenn Maxwell was bought for Rs 14.25 crore in the 2021 auction, and he was the key player bought. Glenn Maxwell was in great form in 2023. At that time, he scored 400 runs in 14 innings played. But this form could not continue in the IPL 2024 season. In the last edition, Glenn Maxwell scored just 52 runs in 10 matches played. Given the nature of the T20 league and the team dynamics, IPL franchises often have to make tough decisions. Thus, if the RCB franchise decides to release Glenn Maxwell to raise funds for a young all-round talent, it will be a significant move. 🚨 Glenn Maxwell Unfollowed #RCB on Instagram #IPL2025 #CricketTwitter pic.twitter.com/8EFfex3165 — RCBIANS OFFICIAL (@RcbianOfficial) July 29, 2024 RCB captain can be changed Some reports have also claimed that not only Maxwell, Royal Challengers Bangalore team can remove Faf du Plessis and bring in a new captain. There is news that KL Rahul will leave Lucknow Super Giants and come to the auction or RCB will include him in the team through trade and he will also be given the captaincy.
5 players RCB might release ahead of IPL 2025 mega auction
After losing to Rajasthan Royals (RR) by four wickets in the Eliminator on May 22, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are still waiting for their maiden IPL title. RCB (Image Credit- Twitter X) 5 Players of RCB Might Release before IPL 2025 Mega Auction: After losing to Rajasthan Royals (RR) by four wickets in the Eliminator on May 22, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are still waiting for their maiden IPL title. Now that the season is over, the management will evaluate what the team did right and what went wrong. They will identify the players whose performances helped them secure crucial wins. On the other hand, they will also assess players who either did not perform well or were not given much chance to play during this year’s Indian Premier League competition. RCB star batsman Kohli scored a total of 741 runs in 15 innings at a strike rate of 154.50, making him their top run scorer. At the same time, Yash Dayal took 15 wickets for RCB at an average of 9.14 runs per over, which was the best bowling performance by any player of the team in the entire season. Now preparations are on for the big auction for the IPL 2025 season, which will give all the teams a chance to make changes in their teams. While the exact date and venue are still not revealed, the two-day auction process is expected to take place between December 2024 and February 2025. It’s that time of the year again – when RCB will have to decide who will stay and who will leave ahead of the upcoming IPL 2025 auction. In this article, let us talk about the 5 players whom RCB might release in the auction next year Players that might be released by RCB ahead of IPL 2025 auction 5. Karan Sharma Karn Sharma RCB. (Photo Source: Karn Sharma) Karn Sharma is known as a player who brings luck to different teams. However, his magic touch did not work for RCB in IPL 2024. Talking about the performance of Karn Sharma, he played 9 matches this year and took 7 wickets while scoring 31 runs. The most notable performance was when he smashed three sixes against Mitchell Starc in the last over against Kolkata Knight Riders when they needed 21 runs to win. Although this innings was not enough to get them the win, it did secure his place in the playing XI. At 36 years old, it is unlikely that RCB will be too interested in Karn Sharma during next year’s mega auction.
Now teams will be able to retain only this many players in IPL 2025 Mega Auction, read what is the Retention Policy
IPL 2025 Mega Auction Retention Policy: Teams are preparing for IPL 2025, this is because the next season is going to be very exciting. IPL auction. (Photo Source: Twitter) IPL 2025 Mega Auction Retention Policy: Teams are preparing for IPL 2025, this is because the next season is going to be very exciting. Actually, IPL 2025 is going to be a mega auction. Mega auction takes place every 3 years in which teams get a chance to release players and buy their favorite players again. How many players can teams retain in the IPL mega auction? Teams can retain only three Indian-capped players, a maximum of two overseas and one uncapped Indian player. As per this retention policy, BCCI has suggested retaining 3 players and using the Right to Match card for one player for the IPL Auction 2025. What is the RTM (Right To Match) card used in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction? Let us tell you that the teams playing IPL can retain players in two ways before the auction. If we give you an example, the first option the team has is to directly retain the players. The second option is Right to Match. Let us tell you how a team can use RTM. Under this rule of BCCI, any team can buy the player whom they had not retained. Let’s assume, Mumbai Indians did not retain Rohit Sharma and Chennai bought Rohit Sharma in the mega auction. But Mumbai wants to keep its player back in its team. So what will happen in such a situation? In this situation, Mumbai Indians (MI) will play the RTM card and pay that much money to Chennai Super Kings for Rohit Sharma and include Rohit in their team. Reports suggest that not all franchises are in favor of increasing the Right to Match card. Some teams want to retain 6-8 of their players, while some teams do not want this. In such a situation, if the retention list is increased then it will not make any sense. Therefore, the BCCI has said that there will be no changes in the IPL 2025 Retention Policy.
IPL 2025 Mega Auction: Franchises want to retain 8 players, also demand to increase the purse, meeting will be held on April 16
The IPL 2025 mega auction will be held at the end of the year. Ruturaj Gaikwad Faf du Plessis & IPL Trophy (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) IPL 2025 Mega Auction: IPL 2024 is currently being played in India in an exciting manner. 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.
