Sanjay Bangar (Photo Source: Punjab Kings’ Head of Cricket Development Sanjay Bangar has prepared his team’s strategy for the upcoming IPL 2025 mega-auction. If Mumbai Indians decide to release Rohit Sharma, then he has a plan ready for that as well. Bangar believes that Rohit will be in great demand and if he comes in the auction, he will get a good price. Punjab Kings (PBKS) will try to build a good team through the mega-auction. Also, the team needs an experienced captain like Rohit Sharma. In such a situation, if Rohit Sharma comes into the auction pool, then Punjab Kings will want to buy him at any cost. Punjab Kings have not got much success in IPL so far. In such a situation, the team is eyeing to build a strong team for the upcoming season. Sanjay Bangar gave a big statement about Rohit Sharma In a recent podcast, Sanjay Bangar was asked what Punjab Kings’ plans are if Mumbai Indians release Rohit Sharma. Bangar replied that their decision will depend on the amount of money they have available at the time of the auction. He also stressed that Rohit Sharma could be bought at a “very high price” if he is available. When Bangar was asked about Rohit Sharma on the RAO Podcast YouTube channel, he said, ‘It all depends on whether we have money in our pockets or not. If Rohit comes in the auction, I am sure he will be bought at a high price.’ Let us tell you, Mumbai Indians won the title a record 5 times under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, however despite this, the MI management handed over the captaincy to Hardik Pandya in place of Rohit Sharma before IPL 2024. However, his decision proved wrong and the team was the first to be out of the playoff race.

In this meeting, the owner of Sunrisers Hyderabad has put forward some big demands before the upcoming season. SRH owner Kavya Maran made this demand in the meeting of BCCI and Owners According to a Cricbuzz report, SRH owner Kavya Maran has said, “It takes a lot of time to build a team and as discussed, grooming young players also takes a lot of time and investment. It took Abhishek Sharma 3 years to bring stability in his performance. You will agree that other teams have many such examples. She prefers mini auctions every year instead of mega auctions. Kavya Maran further said, “After being bought in the auction, if a player does not play the entire season for any reason other than injury, he should be banned. The franchise puts a lot of effort in the auction, if a player goes for a low amount and he does not come. So it affects the team combination.” Along with this, SRH owner has demanded to remove the restriction on the number of foreign players, because last time BCCI allowed to retain maximum 2 foreign players only, since every team is formed in different way which includes Indian players, foreign players and uncapped players.
IPL: Gujarat Titans franchise may be sold soon, apart from Adani Group, this company is in the race

Let us tell you that CVC Capital Partners, which owns the Gujarat Titans franchise, has expressed its desire to sell most of the stake in the team. It is worth noting that in the year 2021, CVC bought the franchise for four years by paying a huge amount of Rs 5625 crore. At the same time, as per the rules framed by BCCI for IPL, any company which buys the ownership of IPL franchise cannot transfer its stake to any other company before the prescribed lock-in period. Whereas this lock-in period of CVC Capital Partners is ending in February 2025. Also, if the media reports of Economic Times are to be believed, Adani Group and Torrent Group have shown interest in buying the ownership of Gujarat Titans franchise. CVC Group now wants to exit the ownership of the company, while Adani Group has made a bid of Rs 5100 crore and Torrent Group has made a bid of Rs 4653 crore to acquire new ownership. Well, now it will be interesting to see which group is going to take the ownership of Gujarat Titans team? Gujarat Titans will have their eyes set on IPL 2025 On the other hand, if we talk about the performance of Gujarat Titans team in IPL, the team has played a total of 3 seasons so far, in which it has performed brilliantly. In 2022, the team won the IPL title in its debut season itself, while it was the runner-up of IPL 2023. However, the team’s performance in IPL 2024 was not very good. The one-time champion team was able to win only five out of the 14 matches played. So now its eyes will be on improving its performance in the upcoming season of IPL.

After his successful tenure as the mentor of the Kolkata Knight Riders franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, it is believed that Gambhir will be the next head coach of Team India. It was believed that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) could discuss the role of head coach of the Indian team with many big Australian players as well as other IPL coaches like Stephen Fleming and Andy Flower. But since Gambhir has come into the race, the discussion on all these names has stopped. Gautam Gambhir will be the next head coach of Team India It has been said in many media reports including India Today that Gautam Gambhir will now take over the post of head coach in place of Rahul Dravid. This is also being said because Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL 2024 title under Gambhir’s mentorship, before that Gautam Gambhir was also associated with Lucknow Super Giants. BCCI had invited applications for the post of head coach till May 27. It is being said that Gautam Gambhir had also applied for it.

Karthik further said- I have never missed a match in my cricket career due to injury. I got this as a blessing. I was never worried about my body and fitness. It was all about the mental aspect whether I would be able to put in as much effort as is needed before the tournament. If I don’t play enough matches, will I not have a problem with it? It was just a mental aspect. From this statement given by Karthik, you can guess that he decided to retire from cricket due to mentality.
