Virat Kohli resigns from captaincy in 2022 season Virat Kohli (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) Virat Kohli is one of those players who has participated in every edition of IPL. Apart from this, he has represented Royal Challengers Bangalore since its inception. RCB included him in the inaugural edition of the season in 2008 for Rs 12 lakh. After this Virat never looked back. Kohli started his IPL career with a good salary, which remained the same for him for the first three seasons (2008–2010). However, 2011 saw a tremendous increase in his IPL salary. RCB recognized his potential and retained him for Rs 8.28 crore. After this, the franchise made him the full time captain in 2013. The next season saw an increase of Rs 12.5 crore in Kohli’s IPL salary. The 2016 season was Kohli’s best as he scored a record-breaking 973 runs with four centuries, helping RCB reach the final. Salary cut during the season affected by Covid epidemic Due to this incredible performance, his salary saw a further increase in 2018. When he became the most expensive player of the league with a salary of Rs 17 crore and this salary remained intact till 2021. It is worth noting that during the 2022 season affected by the Covid pandemic, Kohli voluntarily accepted a cut in his salary, in which he received an amount of Rs 15 crore. Now for the last three seasons, Delhi born players have been playing on the same salary. Let us tell you that in the 2022 season, the experienced player resigned from the role of captaincy and handed it over to Faf du Plessis to focus completely on batting. In the same year, he continued his dominance and scored 741 runs in the next season. With the retention deadline of 2025 approaching, Virat Kohli is expected to be retained for Rs 18 crore.

Aakash Chopra supports Rishabh Pant’s inclusion in this IPL team
There is a lot of discussion about Rishabh Pant’s participation in the auction. Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter X) Before the Indian Premier League 2025 mega auction, all the franchises have to submit the list of their retained players, the last date of which is October 31. According to the new guidelines issued by BCCI, a franchise can retain a maximum of 6 players including uncapped players. Meanwhile, many players are involved in the auction race, but the name of players like Rishabh Pant is also in discussion. Pant has led Delhi in 43 matches. He also took command of the team in IPL 2024. Pant made a spectacular comeback last season after recovering from a car accident. Now amid the news of Pant joining the auction, former cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that he should go to RCB as captain. He said that most franchises can spend big money for a flamboyant cricketer. If his name comes in the auction, a lot of money will be spent: Aakash Chopra Chopra said on his YouTube channel, it is heard that Rishabh Pant may be available in the auction. But many people say that his figures in T20 are not that good, he has had only one successful season in IPL and apart from that he has not scored much runs either. I can give you in writing that if his name comes in the auction, a huge amount will be spent. He further said that, RCB needs a keeper, a batsman and maybe a captain. Punjab will be in need because they will have no one. Delhi will need it, RTM card will be available. KKR also needs him. What about CSK, they need. If Ishan Kishan is left out, Mumbai will also need him. Let us tell you that the last season was good for Rishabh Pant, who returned after a two-year long injury. He scored 446 runs in 13 innings at a strike rate of 155.40. After this strong performance, he directly joined the Indian team and played in the T20 World Cup 2024.
