Glenn Maxwell (Image Credit- Twitter X) In a shocking development in the Indian Premier League, explosive all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has hinted at his exit from RCB ahead of the mega auction for the 2025 IPL. Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has unfollowed the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) account on Instagram. There could be many reasons for this and one of them is that according to some sources, Royal Challengers Bangalore did not want to retain Maxwell. Maxwell got to know about this, perhaps that is why he has unfollowed RCB on Instagram. As the mega auction process for the IPL 2025 edition is getting closer, Glenn Maxwell’s future with the RCB team is uncertain. Glenn Maxwell’s journey with RCB Glenn Maxwell was bought for Rs 14.25 crore in the 2021 auction, and he was the key player bought. Glenn Maxwell was in great form in 2023. At that time, he scored 400 runs in 14 innings played. But this form could not continue in the IPL 2024 season. In the last edition, Glenn Maxwell scored just 52 runs in 10 matches played. Given the nature of the T20 league and the team dynamics, IPL franchises often have to make tough decisions. Thus, if the RCB franchise decides to release Glenn Maxwell to raise funds for a young all-round talent, it will be a significant move. 🚨 Glenn Maxwell Unfollowed #RCB on Instagram #IPL2025 #CricketTwitter pic.twitter.com/8EFfex3165 — RCBIANS OFFICIAL (@RcbianOfficial) July 29, 2024 RCB captain can be changed Some reports have also claimed that not only Maxwell, Royal Challengers Bangalore team can remove Faf du Plessis and bring in a new captain.

MS Dhoni may be seen playing in IPL 2025, but BCCI will have to agree to this condition
A big news related to IPL 2025 is coming out. Some media reports have revealed that, if the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) allows 5-6 retentions before the mega auction, then former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni may be seen playing in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season. After winning the IPL 2023 title as CSK captain, Dhoni underwent knee surgery. The same legendary wicket-keeper batsman surprised everyone as always by taking a bold decision ahead of the 2024 edition where he handed over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad. MS Dhoni can be seen playing in IPL 2025 MS Dhoni was also seen struggling with a knee injury in IPL 2024. He played all the matches with a knee injury and also did wicketkeeping. However, despite the pain, he batted and also won matches for his team. He scored 25 runs off 13 balls against Royal Challengers Bangalore in his last IPL match. But with the season ending, the question in everyone’s mind was whether Dhoni will play in the upcoming season or not. Whether Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni), who has won 5 trophies for Chennai Super Kings, will play in the upcoming season or not, the decision is in Mahi’s hands. However, a report has come out in Cricbuzz regarding this, which has surprised everyone. If the report is to be believed, Chennai Super Kings will retain Dhoni only if they get permission to retain 5-6 players in IPL. In such a situation, if MS Dhoni decides to play, then obviously CSK would want to include him in their team at any cost. However, Dhoni himself has not given any update so far on whether he will play in the upcoming season or not.
After failing in IPL, Hardik no longer gets respect in Team India, former Sri Lankan cricketer gave a shocking statement
After Gautam Gambhir became the new coach, Hardik had to lose the captaincy of the Indian team in the T20 format. Hardik Pandya (Photo Source: BCCI) About a month ago, when the Indian cricket team won the title of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, Hardik Pandya was the vice-captain of that team India. However, after the departure of Rahul Dravid and Gautam Gambhir becoming the new head coach of Team India, Hardik has lost the captaincy of the T20 format. The Indian cricket team management has shown faith in experienced Suryakumar Yadav instead of Hardik Pandya, which is considered to be the beginning of a new era for Surya and Gambhir. Along with this, the responsibility of vice-captaincy has been handed over to young Shubman Gill. So, when Mumbai Indians made Hardik Pandya the captain in place of Rohit Sharma in a dramatic manner before the start of IPL 2024, it was not liked not only by cricket experts but also by MI fans. Whenever Hardik came to the field to toss or bat, he had to face boos. So Mumbai Indians could not do anything special under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya and finished the tournament at number 10. On the other hand, now Hardik Pandya will be seen playing on India’s tour of Sri Lanka from July 27. But before the start of this tour of Team India, a big statement of former Sri Lankan cricketer Russell Arnold has come to the fore. Russell Arnold made a big statement Let us tell you that before India’s tour against Sri Lanka started, Russell Arnold, as quoted by Sports Tak, said – Both (Surya and Hardik) are exceptional players. They bring different things to the team. Suryakumar Yadav is one of the best T20 batsmen. The way he plays, it seems that no one reads the game better than him. Arnold further said- Hardik has also shown these things. But I think that after the way his IPL 2024 went, he has not been able to get the kind of respect in Team India, which BCCI must have thought about him at one time.

Punjab Kings might announce their new head coach before Indian Premier League 2025 In the Indian Premier League 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders won this tournament in partnership with Gautam Gambhir and Chandrakant Pandit. Not only this, Gujarat Titans won the IPL 2022 trophy under the coaching of Ashish Nehra.

Although, till now the Gujarat Titans franchise has not issued any official statement regarding this, but most of the media reports turn out to be true.

It is worth noting that when Rahul Dravid’s tenure with Team India as head coach ended, BCCI was about to make Laxman the new coach of Team India, but he turned down this offer. Laxman cited personal reasons behind this and said that he cannot travel with the team for 10 months. Also, let us tell you that Laxman has a lot of experience in coaching in IPL. VVS Laxman was associated with the one-time champion Sunrisers Hyderabad for a long time. Apart from this, considering Laxman’s experience and skill, any IPL team can include him in the team’s management group. Justin Langer may be sacked Before the start of IPL 2023, Lucknow Super Giants appointed former Australian player Justin Langer as the head coach. However, before the upcoming season, there is a possibility that the franchise may part ways with Langer. On the other hand, Laxman can join LSG as a batting coach, mentor or head coach. Also, as NCA head, VVS Laxman can be replaced by former Indian cricket team batting coach Vikram Rathore, who has been associated with Indian cricket since 2012. Recently, Laxman was seen coaching during the five-match T20 series on Team India’s Zimbabwe tour, where India won 4-1 against the host 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.

When Kolkata Knight Riders signed Mitchell Starc for Rs 24.75 crore in the IPL 2024 auction. Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc of Australia celebrate after getting the wicket of Sharjeel Khan. (Photo by Morne de Klerk/Getty Images) The fast bowler was the talk of the town ever since Kolkata Knight Riders signed Mitchell Starc for Rs 24.75 crore in the IPL 2024 auction. He did not have a good start to the tournament, which added more pressure on him. But Starc never cared about the criticism. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad signed Pat Cummins for Rs 20.50 crore, which was also criticised as he was earning much more than the top Indian players. Now speaking openly about the salary and the trolling he faced, Starc said that he laughed it off as both the players played the final. Starc proved to be a big match player, leading KKR to success in Qualifier 1 and the final, and played a key role in helping the team win the trophy. While Cummins led by example as Hyderabad reached the final for the first time in six years. Now talking about the same, Starc joked about how people were saying why so much money was spent on them and we both were playing in the final. Mitchell Starc gave a statement on the trolling happening regarding IPL salary “I laughed. The first game of the IPL, we played against Hyderabad. Pat Cummins and I both got paid a lot of money. When we played the first game, it was a bit funny. It just so happened that we ended up playing against each other in the final nine weeks later. Suddenly everything changed for both of us. We were laughing about why we were paid so much, then we started thinking that well we got paid to play in the final. Isn’t it funny?” “After that, when the KKR player saw the cheque after the team won, it was Rs 20 crore. He immediately said, you have received a salary higher than this.”
