“Many things are not in the hands of players”- Ishan Kishan broke his silence on being removed from the central contract.
Mumbai Indians wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan will probably never forget the day of 28 February 2024. In fact, on the same day, Ishaan was removed from the central contract by BCCI. Also, despite BCCI’s warning, he did not play Ranji Trophy. In such a situation, his future in the Indian team was under question. Kishan, who returned to India on December 23, 2023, just before the start of the Test series against South Africa, had withdrawn from that tour citing mental fatigue and personal reasons. Following this, he made himself unavailable for his state team Jharkhand to play in the Ranji Trophy, which was scheduled to begin on January 5, 2024. Ishan Kishan’s big statement regarding being out of central contract In yesterday’s match against RCB, Ishan scored 69 runs in 34 balls to help Mumbai chase the target of 197 runs. After that match, Ishan Kishan has now broken his silence on this entire controversy. He said, ‘I was practicing. When I took some time out for myself from the game, people were talking a lot. Many things came up on social media, but you should also realize that many things are not in the hands of the players. Ishaan Kishan He further said, ‘The only thing you can do is use your time properly. Also, if the previous Ishan Kishan had been there in this particular situation, what would have been his mentality. I never dropped the ball in the first two overs. No matter how well they are bowling. When he was asked what he was doing during the break. On this he said, “I was practicing, I had taken a break. During this time I have learned that you do not have to put pressure on yourself about things which are not in your control. You have to figure out what is (your) controllable and what is out of (your) control. There have been such changes in me that even if I am not performing, if I know someone else is not performing, I will go up to them and talk to them, I want to know what they are thinking. So those are the things that have helped me with the break.”

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.

Rohit Sharma answered this question humorously and said that he would not share a room with Shikhar Dhawan or Rishabh Pant because they are very dirty. His room is always on DND- Rohit Sharma The Indian captain said, “Everyone gets a room these days. But if I get a chance to share a room, there are two people with whom I would not want to share a room – Shikhar Dhawan and Rishabh Pant. They are very dirty. After practice, they just throw their clothes on the bed.” He further added, “His room is always on DND because he sleeps till 1 am. The housekeeping staff comes in the morning and cleans their rooms, so it is important for them to keep their rooms on DND. Otherwise they will go inside, their rooms often remain like this for three-four days. This causes problems to the people living around them. So, I don’t think I will be able to live with them.” In the show, Rohit Sharma also gave his reaction to the defeat in the World Cup 2023 final. He said, I was thinking that the World Cup took place in our country but still we could not win. I thought the country might be angry with us, but I heard people complimenting how well we played and that they enjoyed watching cricket.
