Chennai Super Kings have retained MS Dhoni as an uncapped player for just Rs 4 crore. This saved CSK from spending a huge amount. Now former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif has commented about IPL after the review of uncapped player rule.

On Thursday, October 31, the IPL franchises submitted the list of their retained players. Dhoni was retained by CSK for just Rs 4 crore, a deduction of Rs 8 crore from the previous season. And this could happen because the IPL Governing Council brought back the uncapped player rule, whereby any player can be retained by the franchise in the uncapped category for only Rs 4 crore.

Let us tell you that uncapped players are those who have not played for India in the last five years and Dhoni last played for India in July 2019. Dhoni was a perfect fit under this rule and the franchise retained the Men in Yellow legend in the uncapped category without any hesitation.

He has saved Rs 10-15 crore – Mohammad Kaif

Whereas Mohammad Kaif said on Jio Cinema, CSK has played really well. He has saved Rs 10-15 crore. I think the way this rule was brought back was because we were driven by emotions, and we all really wanted MS Dhoni to play another year. I think CSK played very smartly there. Yes, he is charging less money, but that will allow CSK to buy big-name players in the auction.

He further said that, I think whichever player plays for India, I was 36 years old when I last played an international match for India. Now if I am dropped from the team but I perform well in the IPL, I should not come under the uncapped player rule. This should be for those players who have not played any international match yet. CSK people have done such a great trick. And he played it very well, as we all got emotional getting the chance to see Dhoni for another year in the IPL. I think CSK should get the benefit of buying two additional players in the auction.

However, he expects other players to build small partnerships and take the lead in the first innings. Jadeja said, “As a batting unit, we need a collective effort. Didn’t think like this, miscommunication and misjudgment keep happening. We are 150 runs behind, small partnerships will be our game plan to take the team’s total above 230.

It was not easy bowling in the heat, Washington bowled well and everyone played their part.

‘He was number 1 in our list’, Venky Mysore explains the reason for Shreyas Iyer’s release

KKR has retained Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh. Venky Mysore and Shreyas Iyer Kolkata Knight Riders have released their captain Shreyas Iyer ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Iyer joined KKR in 2022 for Rs 12.25 crore and was made the captain. It was under his captaincy that Kolkata won its third IPL trophy in 2024. After this, several rounds of meetings took place between Iyer and the franchise, but things did not work out. After Shreyas Iyer’s release, KKR CEO Venky Mysore said that he was the number-1 choice for retention, but they could not agree on a deal. He also said that every player has complete freedom to go to the auction, so that they can earn more money. Venky Mysore told RevSportz, it is a matter of mutual consent. This is not a unilateral right of any franchisee. Players have to consider and agree on various factors. Somewhere, that agreement does not happen due to various factors – be it money or any other reason. He was at number-1 in our list. He was the captain, so everything has to be built around leadership. In the end people have the freedom to take their own decisions – Venky Mysore He further said that, we had selected him in 2022 and unfortunately he got injured in 2023. But as soon as he arrived, he was handed back the captaincy. We made it clear that when you come back, this will be your team. He was an integral part of the team and did a wonderful job. I have a personal relationship with him, but at the end of the day people have the freedom to take their own decisions. They decide what is good for them and which direction to go. Market value is also an important aspect. Let us tell you that on Thursday, October 31, KKR announced the retained players, in which KKR has retained Rinku Singh, Sunil Narayan, Varun Chakraborty, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh for IPL 2025.
