Hyderabad had to face defeat against Kolkata in the final match. However, the performance of the team during the entire tournament was unmatched. However, now the player auction is going to be held for the upcoming season of IPL. All the 10 teams will get a chance to retain only a few players. In such a situation, it will have to be seen which team is going to retain which players. On the other hand, well-known cricket commentator and former Indian player Aakash Chopra has made a big statement about the Hyderabad team before the start of IPL 2025. According to Chopra, Hyderabad should retain these players. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said – It is absolutely necessary to retain Pat Cummins because there are 10 teams in IPL and you do not get any captain. You have to shop around for a captain and there aren’t a lot of Indian names available, but it will be interesting to see if you can convince him to stay with the team for three years. After this I would keep Abhishek Sharma, because you will not find Indian talent like Abhishek. Retention of Indian players is going to be important, because you will not get a chance to select such players. As the third player, I would like to retain Travis Head, but my third player can also be Heinrich Klaasen. Because for the position where Travis Head bats, you can take other players. But the position where Heinrich Klaasen bats, there are only Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell and Heinrich Klaasen. So, I would like to retain Heinrich Klaasen. As the fourth player, I would go with either Bhuvneshwar Kumar or T Natarajan.

Delhi Capitals’ chances of reaching the IPL 2024 playoffs are very slim.

Shaw played a total of 8 matches in the ongoing season in which he could score only 198 runs at an average of 24.75. On the other hand, now Delhi Capitals team’s assistant coach Pravin Amre has given a big statement regarding Prithvi Shaw. Amre says that if you are not in form, you cannot retain your position. Praveen Amre gave a big statement regarding Prithvi Shaw Let us tell you that after the end of Delhi Capitals’ match against Lucknow Super Giants, Praveen Amre said – He (Prithvi Shaw) was one of the players retained by us. As you can see in the last four or five matches he was on the bench. But this is IPL and if you are not in form you cannot retain your place. There was a lot of pressure on the team because every match was important, and we had to win every match. Praveen further said- We played well in today’s match, we played without her (Prithvi Shaw) and won the match. In his place, Abhishek Porel got the chance and he grabbed it with both hands. What a brilliant innings Porel played today. After Jack Fraser McGurk was out in the first over, we managed to score 73 runs in the powerplay, credit for this goes to Shay Hope and Porel.

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.
