DTVHINDI“First of all you have to remove IPL from the minds of the players”- Irfan Pathan said in support of Hardik
As India moves to West Indies and United States of America (USA) for T20 World Cup 2024, they will look to end their 11-year-long ICC trophy drought. Indian team captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid would like to win the ICC trophy at all costs. As a coach, Dravid has been excellent in bilateral series, but he has not been able to repeat it in ICC tournaments. The current Indian team is facing captaincy problems as Rohit and Hardik Pandya have become a matter of concern. Pandya replaced Rohit as the captain of Mumbai Indians and is being considered as the next captain of the Indian team after being made the vice-captain for the T20 World Cup 2024. Former Indian fast bowler Irfan Pathan feels that the first task for Dravid will be to get the players out of the bad form of IPL 2024. Irfan Pathan once again supported Hardik Pandya Hindustan Times quoted Irfan Pathan as saying, “I will not even discuss it. What’s done is done. I will just say that this is my expectation from you: I want you to win matches for India. This is the roadmap, and you are an important part of the team and a match winner. Being an all-rounder, I would say he will play an important role. How many fast bowlers have we taken? Apart from Hardik and Shivam Dubey, we have only three specialist bowlers.” He further added, “So when the time comes, these 3-4 overs will become very crucial. Remember, when we play day matches in West Indies they will allow us to play an extra spinner. So that is where he comes into the plan, he needs to feel good and believe that he can contribute and hence the IPL talks should not even be a one-off. India has been placed in Group A of the T20 World Cup 2024 along with teams like Pakistan, Ireland, the United States and Canada. The top two teams of the group will find their place in the Super-8 stage of the tournament. India will start their tournament with a match against Ireland in New York on June 5. This match will be followed by an Indo-Pak match on June 9 at the Nassau County Stadium in New York.

According to some media reports, Gautam Gambhir is reportedly ready to take this responsibility. 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.

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.

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. BCCI was also talking to former New Zealand player and Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming for the post of head coach. However, for some reason, things did not work out with those players. Gautam Gambhir was the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2012. Then Kolkata won both its IPL titles in the year 2012 and 2014 under the captaincy of Gambhir. After this, the KKR franchise could not win any title for 10 years. Gautam Gambhir was made the mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024. Under his mentorship, Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL 2024 title.

Now that the season is over, the management will evaluate what the team did right and what went wrong. They will identify the players whose performances helped them secure crucial wins.

RCB star batsman Kohli scored a total of 741 runs in 15 innings at a strike rate of 154.50, making him their top run scorer. At the same time, Yash Dayal took 15 wickets for RCB at an average of 9.14 runs per over, which was the best bowling performance by any player of the team in the entire season. Now preparations are on for the big auction for the IPL 2025 season, which will give all the teams a chance to make changes in their teams.

Talking about the performance of Karn Sharma, he played 9 matches this year and took 7 wickets while scoring 31 runs. The most notable performance was when he smashed three sixes against Mitchell Starc in the last over against Kolkata Knight Riders when they needed 21 runs to win. Although this innings was not enough to get them the win, it did secure his place in the playing XI. At 36 years old, it is unlikely that RCB will be too interested in Karn Sharma during next year’s mega auction.

Under Hardik’s captaincy, five-time champion Mumbai Indians’ performance was very poor and the team could win only four out of 14 matches and ended their campaign at the bottom of the points table.
Now teams will be able to retain only this many players in IPL 2025 Mega Auction, read what is the Retention Policy
IPL 2025 Mega Auction Retention Policy: Teams are preparing for IPL 2025, this is because the next season is going to be very exciting. IPL auction. (Photo Source: Twitter) IPL 2025 Mega Auction Retention Policy: Teams are preparing for IPL 2025, this is because the next season is going to be very exciting. Actually, IPL 2025 is going to be a mega auction. Mega auction takes place every 3 years in which teams get a chance to release players and buy their favorite players again. How many players can teams retain in the IPL mega auction? Teams can retain only three Indian-capped players, a maximum of two overseas and one uncapped Indian player. As per this retention policy, BCCI has suggested retaining 3 players and using the Right to Match card for one player for the IPL Auction 2025. What is the RTM (Right To Match) card used in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction? Let us tell you that the teams playing IPL can retain players in two ways before the auction. If we give you an example, the first option the team has is to directly retain the players. The second option is Right to Match. Let us tell you how a team can use RTM. Under this rule of BCCI, any team can buy the player whom they had not retained. Let’s assume, Mumbai Indians did not retain Rohit Sharma and Chennai bought Rohit Sharma in the mega auction. But Mumbai wants to keep its player back in its team. So what will happen in such a situation? In this situation, Mumbai Indians (MI) will play the RTM card and pay that much money to Chennai Super Kings for Rohit Sharma and include Rohit in their team. Reports suggest that not all franchises are in favor of increasing the Right to Match card. Some teams want to retain 6-8 of their players, while some teams do not want this. In such a situation, if the retention list is increased then it will not make any sense. Therefore, the BCCI has said that there will be no changes in the IPL 2025 Retention Policy.
According to Aakash Chopra, SRH should retain these players before IPL 2025 auction
SRH was the runner-up of IPL 2024 SRH (Pic Source-X) In the recently concluded IPL 2024, the one-time champion team Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) team performed brilliantly. Hyderabad had to face defeat against Kolkata in the final match. However, the performance of the team during the entire tournament was unmatched. However, now the player auction is going to be held for the upcoming season of IPL. All the 10 teams will get a chance to retain only a few players. In such a situation, it will have to be seen which team is going to retain which players. On the other hand, well-known cricket commentator and former Indian player Aakash Chopra has made a big statement about the Hyderabad team before the start of IPL 2025. According to Chopra, Hyderabad should retain these players. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said – It is absolutely necessary to retain Pat Cummins because there are 10 teams in IPL and you do not get any captain. You have to shop around for a captain and there aren’t a lot of Indian names available, but it will be interesting to see if you can convince him to stay with the team for three years. After this I would keep Abhishek Sharma, because you will not find Indian talent like Abhishek. Retention of Indian players is going to be important, because you will not get a chance to select such players. As the third player, I would like to retain Travis Head, but my third player can also be Heinrich Klaasen. Because for the position where Travis Head bats, you can take other players. But the position where Heinrich Klaasen bats, there are only Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell and Heinrich Klaasen. So, I would like to retain Heinrich Klaasen. As the fourth player, I would go with either Bhuvneshwar Kumar or T Natarajan.
