EXCLUSIVE: “Was very aware of Dhoni’s importance in world cricket” – Richard Madley said while remembering the 2008 IPL auction.
Richard Madley. (Source – Getty Images/Wales Online) Richard Madley, who is known as the first person to host an Indian Premier League (IPL) auction, recently discussed many interesting things about his experience of being the auctioneer at the mega event. He hosted the inaugural IPL auction on February 20, 2008, and continued hosting the auction until the 2018 edition. Recently Madley was asked whether he had any prior knowledge about MS Dhoni before entering the auction. The star wicketkeeper-batsman was the most expensive player at the event as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bought him for $1,500,000 (approximately Rs 6 crore) after the bidding started at $400,000 (approximately Rs 1.6 crore). Richard Madley gave a big statement regarding MS Dhoni Madley, in an exclusive chat with CricTracker, said that he was fully aware of Dhoni’s stature in the field of cricket as he was a cricket fan and the Indian captain’s unrealistic demand at the time of that auction did not surprise him. Richard Madley said, “I was very aware of Dhoni’s importance to Indian cricket, world cricket. I am a cricket fan, you know, I follow the game closely. So I knew he was potentially a player who was going to set things up. The first IPL auction, now, of course, it is random (auction set), you don’t know whose name will be the first to come out of that velvet bag that day. The former auctioneer said that, and I think Dhoni was thinking about the number five or six player. I think it was his fourth or fifth name that day and when his name came everyone went ‘aah’. And in those days, we used small cricket balls which were kept in a velvet bag. And on that came a player number, set number, which was his and there was a noise around the room you could tell there was excitement within the room.

‘Did not leave Delhi Capitals for money…’, Rishabh Pant’s post before IPL auction created an uproar on social media
Rishabh Pant will enter the mega auction before IPL 2025. Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Instagram) India’s star wicketkeeper batsman, Rishabh Pant has broken his silence on not being retained by Delhi Capitals. He has made it clear in a tweet that he did not leave Delhi Capitals for money. Pant responded to a video by Star Sports, in which Sunil Gavaskar was explaining the reason behind Delhi not retaining their captain ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. In the video, Sunil Gavaskar said that, I believe that there may be a disagreement between Delhi Capitals and Rishabh Pant regarding the retention fee of the wicketkeeper-batsman. The former batsman also said during this time that Capitals may try to buy Pant back in the mega auction to be held on 24 and 25 November. This one tweet by Rishabh Pant created an uproar on social media After this, Rishabh Pant reacted to this video and said that he did not leave the Delhi Capitals team for money. Pant has given his reply on a video of Gavaskar. Pant, who was the star batsman of Delhi Capitals, wrote in this post – I can definitely say that my retention was not about money. My retention wasn’t about the money for sure that I can say 🤍 — Rishabh Pant (@RishabhPant17) November 19, 2024 Gavaskar told Star Sports- I think Delhi Capitals would like Rishabh Pant back in their team. Sometimes, when a player has to be retained, there are negotiations between the franchises and the players regarding the expected fees. As some of the players who have been retained by their franchises have demanded a higher No. 1 retention fee. So obviously I think there might be some disagreement there, but I think Delhi would want Rishabh Pant back. Talking about IPL retention, Delhi Capitals retained four players before the IPL 2025 auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. They retained Axar Patel for Rs 16.5 crore, Kuldeep Yadav for Rs 13.5 crore, South African star all-rounder Tristan Stubbs for Rs 10 crore and uncapped wicketkeeper Abhishek Porel for Rs 4 crore.
IPL Mega Auction: Irfan Pathan’s big prediction, Starc’s auction record is in danger, this Indian player will break it…..
Irfan Pathan. (Photo Source: Twitter) Team India’s former star all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes that wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant will break Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc’s record of being the most expensive player in IPL (Indian Premier League) history. Let us tell you that, Starc was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for Rs 24.75 crore during the IPL 2024 mini-auction. Mitchell Starc had overtaken his Australian teammate Pat Cummins’s price of Rs 20.50 crore in the same auction. Cummins was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). However, Pathan feels that Rishabh Pant can break that record in the upcoming auction as he will be the most sought-after player in the auction. This time, big names like KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami, Venkatesh Iyer, Ishan Kishan will enter the IPL mega auction. Irfan Pathan tweeted on Twitter and wrote, ‘Mitchell Starc’s auction record is in danger. Rishabh Pant is ready to break it. Rishabh Pant was a part of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024 Rishabh Pant was earlier a part of Delhi Capitals and he has also captained that team. Pant was not retained this time and he is going to enter the auction. Lucknow Super Giants, KKR also did not retain their captains and both KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer will enter the auction. The mega auction is scheduled to take place on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A total of 574 players have registered their names for the mega auction, of which 366 are Indian and 208 are foreign players. There are a total of 81 players in the base price of Rs 2 crore. Now it remains to be seen whether this prediction of Irfan Pathan proves correct or not.

Sunil Gavaskar gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the IPL 2025 auction, Gavaskar, while discussing with Star Sports, said on the Game Plan show – Last year (IPL 2024) when KKR won, Shreyas Iyer was the captain. As I said earlier for Rishabh Pant, sometimes there can be disagreement regarding fees. Gavaskar further said- However, I also think that after Shreyas Iyer comes in the auction, KKR can also bid for his services. If KKR doesn’t bid, I think Delhi will do it. Gavaskar further said about the star Indian wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant, who was released from Delhi Capitals, that Delhi would like him, because if Rishabh Pant is not in their team, then they will also have to find a captain. So, I think Delhi will definitely try to use the RTM card or bring Rishabh Pant back to their team in the auction.
