So now former Indian cricketer and Director of Cricket of IPL team Delhi Capitals Sourav Ganguly has given a big statement regarding this rule. Ganguly has given a big statement saying that he is in favor of this rule. Sourav Ganguly gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently while talking to the media in a program organized by Blue Ocean Corporation, Sourav Ganguly said- I like the impact player rule. This (IPL) is a great tournament. With an impact player you can only decide before the toss, so there is a bit of skill involved. Let the impact player know beforehand as it will require a lot of skill and game plan, but I am totally in favour of the impact player. From this statement given by Ganguly, you can guess that he seems to be advocating the Impact Player rule which has been used in IPL for the last two years. Also, after the introduction of this rule, former Indian captain Virat Kohli had said that it seems that this game is now only for the batsmen. Bowlers feel that every ball bowled by them can result in a boundary.

“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.
5 players RCB might release ahead of IPL 2025 mega auction
After losing to Rajasthan Royals (RR) by four wickets in the Eliminator on May 22, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are still waiting for their maiden IPL title. RCB (Image Credit- Twitter X) 5 Players of RCB Might Release before IPL 2025 Mega Auction: After losing to Rajasthan Royals (RR) by four wickets in the Eliminator on May 22, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are still waiting for their maiden IPL 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. On the other hand, they will also assess players who either did not perform well or were not given much chance to play during this year’s Indian Premier League competition. 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. While the exact date and venue are still not revealed, the two-day auction process is expected to take place between December 2024 and February 2025. It’s that time of the year again – when RCB will have to decide who will stay and who will leave ahead of the upcoming IPL 2025 auction. In this article, let us talk about the 5 players whom RCB might release in the auction next year Players that might be released by RCB ahead of IPL 2025 auction 5. Karan Sharma Karn Sharma RCB. (Photo Source: Karn Sharma) Karn Sharma is known as a player who brings luck to different teams. However, his magic touch did not work for RCB in IPL 2024. 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.
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.
