(Photo Source: Twitter) Fast bowler Tushar Deshpande, who plays domestic cricket for Mumbai, can be seen playing in the second phase of Ranji Trophy. It is noteworthy that Deshpande had a successful ankle operation on September 13 in London. After this operation, he is recovering and due to this has not been able to participate in any kind of competitive cricket. Apart from this, he has also been ruled out of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament starting from September 23. However, he is expected to make a comeback in the second leg of Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir on January 23. The 29-year-old player is currently completing the rehab process at BCCI’s Center of Excellence in Bengaluru. Also, being out of Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament can prove to be a big blow for Deshpande. Because the player has been released by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) before the IPL 2025 auction. However, CSK can still re-add him to their team using the Right to Match Card (RTM). But if he had played in the Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament, his performance might have caught the attention of some other teams. It is noteworthy that during IPL 2024, Deshpande was one of the important fast bowlers of the CSK camp. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad handed the ball to Deshpande several times in the last overs and he remained true to his captain’s decision. In the last season of IPL, Tushar took 17 wickets in 13 matches played for five-time champion CSK, while Tushar played an important role in making Chennai the champion in the year 2023. This season, Tushar had taken 23 wickets in 16 matches played.

Deepak Chahar (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) Chennai Super Kings spent Rs 14 crore to buy Deepak Chahar in the IPL 2022 mega auction, but he was ruled out of the entire season due to injury. Even in the last two seasons of the cash-rich league, Chahar’s fitness has become a major problem for the team and he could play only 10 and 8 matches respectively in the two seasons. After ordinary performances for the Yellow team over the past few years, Chahar was not retained by the five-time IPL champions and will now try his luck in the IPL 2025 mega auction. This mega auction is scheduled to take place in Jeddah on 24 and 25 November. Let us tell you that Deepak is completely fit at this time and he is continuously bowling well for Rajasthan in the domestic season. Deepak Chahar gave a big statement regarding IPL 2025 mega auction Meanwhile, Deepak Chahar has given a big statement regarding the IPL 2025 mega auction and he has expressed hope that CSK will again bid for him in the upcoming auction. Speaking to Times of India, Deepak Chahar said, “Even in the last mega auction they did not retain me but then tried their best for me and bought me back. I don’t know what will happen this year, but I know that my skills will be given more importance now because around 90-100 runs are being scored in the powerplay and that is why teams are scoring more than 200 times. I proved how valuable I can be in limiting runs at that stage of the game.” This time Chennai Super Kings franchise has retained Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Mathisha Pathirana, Shivam Dubey and MS Dhoni. All other players were released by the team. In such a situation, now there is a possibility that the franchise can buy some of them again in the mega auction, in which Deepak Chahar can also be a player.

IPL 2025: Ben Stokes will withdraw his name from the mega auction, big reason revealed
Ben Stokes (Image Source: BCCI-IPL) England Test captain Ben Stokes is probably planning to withdraw his name from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega-auction to give greater priority to England’s Test cricket. He did not name his name in the IPL 2024 auction to focus on the Ashes. Star all-rounder Stokes played his last IPL match in 2023. Stokes played only two matches for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) that season. CSK had bought Stokes in the auction for a huge amount of Rs 16.25 crore but he could not play most of the matches due to injury. Now once again Stokes can withdraw his name from IPL to focus on the upcoming series of England. Ben Stokes can now withdraw his name from the mega auction of IPL 2025 According to The Telegraph report, Stokes not being named in the IPL 2025 mega auction means that he is considering focusing completely on white-ball cricket. He last played T20 International in the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia. However, the 33-year-old all-rounder returned in the ODI World Cup 2023 after retiring from ODI cricket. He has indicated to play ODI again. Ben Stokes has a very busy schedule in 2025. England are scheduled to play home and away Test series against India and Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 cycle. As an all-rounder, it is very important to manage Stokes’ workload. He has recently made a comeback after injury. In such a situation, it is very important for the England team to remain fit. The 33-year-old player has played 43 IPL matches so far and has scored 974 runs and taken 28 wickets at an average of 34.79 and economy of 34.79 respectively. The last date of registration for IPL Mega Auction is Sunday (November 3). One reason for Stokes’ withdrawal from the auction is also believed to be the special rules of BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) for foreign players.
The former cricketer did not like MS Dhoni being retained under the uncapped player rule, said a big thing.
CSK guys did a great job with this trick – Mohammad Kaif MS Dhoni (Photo Source: Getty Images) Chennai Super Kings have retained MS Dhoni as an uncapped player for just Rs 4 crore. This saved CSK from spending a huge amount. Now former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif has commented about IPL after the review of uncapped player rule. On Thursday, October 31, the IPL franchises submitted the list of their retained players. Dhoni was retained by CSK for just Rs 4 crore, a deduction of Rs 8 crore from the previous season. And this could happen because the IPL Governing Council brought back the uncapped player rule, whereby any player can be retained by the franchise in the uncapped category for only Rs 4 crore. Let us tell you that uncapped players are those who have not played for India in the last five years and Dhoni last played for India in July 2019. Dhoni was a perfect fit under this rule and the franchise retained the Men in Yellow legend in the uncapped category without any hesitation. He has saved Rs 10-15 crore – Mohammad Kaif Whereas Mohammad Kaif said on Jio Cinema, CSK has played really well. He has saved Rs 10-15 crore. I think the way this rule was brought back was because we were driven by emotions, and we all really wanted MS Dhoni to play another year. I think CSK played very smartly there. Yes, he is charging less money, but that will allow CSK to buy big-name players in the auction. He further said that, I think whichever player plays for India, I was 36 years old when I last played an international match for India. Now if I am dropped from the team but I perform well in the IPL, I should not come under the uncapped player rule. This should be for those players who have not played any international match yet. CSK people have done such a great trick. And he played it very well, as we all got emotional getting the chance to see Dhoni for another year in the IPL. I think CSK should get the benefit of buying two additional players in the auction.

CSK (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Five-time champions, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), are one of the most successful franchises in the history of the Indian Premier League, but the last season was not very good for them. In 2022, Ravindra Jadeja was appointed as the new captain in place of MS Dhoni, but the performance of the franchise was very poor that season. Jadeja left the team midway through the season and then Dhoni was reinstated as captain, but it did not help as CSK finished ninth in the points table. Under Dhoni’s captaincy, CSK won the IPL in 2023 and it was their fifth title. They were on the verge of defeat in the final against Gujarat Titans, but there again Ravindra Jadeja gave them the trophy by hitting a six and a four in the last two balls. The following year, Dhoni once again resigned from the captaincy and CSK failed to qualify for the playoffs for the second time in three years.

He became famous all over the world after leading the Indian team to the title in the 2007 T-20 World Cup. And Chennai Super Kings signed him for $1.5 million in the first edition of IPL. CSK made him the captain and the first three seasons were very good for the franchise. The team reached the final in 2008 and won in 2010. Before the 2011 auction, CSK announced Dhoni as their first retention. The franchise retained him for the next three years for $1.8 million. Dhoni shone this time too and after the retirement of Sachin Tendulkar, he became the poster boy of Indian cricket. By now he had become an integral part of the CSK franchise and Chennai Super Kings again announced Dhoni as their first retention ahead of the 2014 mega auction. After this, Dhoni earned Rs 12.5 every season till 2017. CSK may retain Dhoni as an uncapped player before 2025 mega auction However, there were doubts whether Dhoni would be CSK’s first retention ahead of the 2018 mega auction due to his advanced age. But the franchise showed confidence in him and named him as the first retention. In this way, for the next three years i.e. till 2021, Dhoni earned Rs 15 crore per season. After this, Chennai retained Dhoni, but in the interest of the team, he himself refused to accept the retention at first. That season, CSK declared Ravindra Jadeja as their first retention and he got Rs 15 crore. After this, Dhoni got Rs 12 crore as second retention. This was Dhoni’s salary till 2024 and it is expected to change in IPL 2025. There are reports that CSK may retain Dhoni as an uncapped player ahead of the 2025 mega auction. This means that the two-time World Cup winning captain will get Rs 4 crore. However, neither the franchise nor Dhoni has confirmed this. Now, official information will be revealed when CSK announces its retention on October 31.
