  • IPL 2025: Retention Deadline Announced, Franchises Must Submit Player List By This Date | cricket news

    IPL 2025: The Indian Premier League (IPL) has officially announced the retention rules for the 2025 season, with franchises required to submit their final list of retained players by October 31st, 5 PM IST. This crucial deadline sets the stage for the 2025 auction, where teams will finalize their squads, balancing player retention and auction strategies.

    Retention Rules And Purse Deductions

    For IPL 2025, franchises can retain up to five capped players, with specific amounts being deducted from their auction purse depending on the number of players retained. The retention slabs are as follows:

    For the first three retentions: INR 18 crore, INR 14 crore, and INR 11 crore. For the next two retentions: INR 18 crore and INR 14 crore.

    In case a franchise retains five capped players and one uncapped player before the auction, a total of INR 79 crore will be deducted from the team’s purse of INR 120 crore. This leaves the franchise with INR 41 crore to spend at the auction. For franchises opting to retain four capped players and two uncapped players, INR 69 crore will be deducted from their purse.

    Notably, the salary cap for uncapped players remains unchanged from the 2021 mega auction, with franchises deducting INR 4 crore for each uncapped player retained.

    Impact Player Rule To Stay Until 2027

    Despite some opposition from certain franchises and top players, including India captain Rohit Sharma, the IPL has decided to keep the controversial Impact Player rule in place for at least three more seasons, extending its tenure until 2027.

    The Impact Player rule, introduced in 2023, has been a topic of debate, with some arguing that it disrupts the development of allrounders an essential element in Indian cricket. However, during a key meeting held on July 31st, attended by team owners and key officials, the majority of the franchises supported the continuation of the rule, citing its potential to add tactical depth to the game.

    While critics, including high-profile players, voiced concerns about the rule limiting opportunities for allrounders to hone their skills, the IPL management has maintained that it serves the league’s goals of innovation and excitement. The decision to retain the rule reflects the desire to keep experimenting with new dynamics that could add value to both the sport and viewership.

    IPL 2025: Retention Details

    With the retention deadline looming, franchises will have tough decisions to make regarding player retention and auction strategies. Teams will need to assess their squad balance carefully, weighing the pros and cons of holding on to core players versus building from scratch in the auction.

    Additionally, the continuation of the Impact Player rule adds another layer of complexity to team composition, particularly for those franchises looking to build teams around multi-dimensional players.

    As October 31st approaches, all eyes will be on the retained players’ lists as teams reveal their plans for IPL 2025, setting the stage for an exciting auction and an even more thrilling season ahead.

  • IPL 2025: Franchise Owners Oppose Uncapped Category For Retired Players. cricket news

    IPL 2025: Despite growing speculation that the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) want former India captain MS Dhoni to be considered an uncapped player in the IPL 2025 auction due to his retirement being nearly seven years ago, several IPL franchises are opposed to this idea. According to reports this issue was discussed during a recent BCCI meeting with IPL team owners

    The BCCI raised the topic while discussing broader criteria for uncapped players. A rule introduced before the inaugural IPL season in 2008 considered players retired from international cricket for over five years as uncapped. However, this rule was never utilized and was abolished three years ago. During the recent meeting, the suggestion to reintroduce this rule was met with resistance from multiple teams.

    Sunrisers Hyderabad owner Kavya Maran was among those who opposed the proposal. She argued that allowing a retired cricketer to be classified as an uncapped player would be ‘disrespectful’ and could set a ‘wrong precedent’ if such a player received a higher salary than a genuine uncapped cricketer. Maran suggested that Dhoni, if he wishes to continue, should enter the auction like any other player, allowing team owners to determine his value.

    The report also addressed rumors that Chennai’s push for this rule was motivated by a desire to retain Dhoni. These rumors were dismissed, noting that before the last mega auction in 2022, CSK retained Dhoni for Rs 12 crore, while Ruturaj Gaikwad, who was uncapped at that time, was retained for half that amount.

    As for whether Dhoni will play in IPL 2025, the answer remains uncertain. After undergoing knee surgery last year, Dhoni handed over the captaincy to Gaikwad and is expected to take on a finisher’s role in IPL 2024. Dhoni has stated that he and CSK will await clarity on retention rules before deciding his participation in IPL 2025.

  • Shah Rukh Khan’s bold move, blank cheque offered to Gautam Gambhir amid BCCI’s pursuit for Team India’s coaching role: Report | Cricket News

    The iconic Eden Gardens erupted in jubilation as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) clinched their third IPL title, defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a nail-biting final on Sunday. Amidst deafening roars from the packed stands, the Shah Rukh Khan-owned franchise etched their name in IPL folklore once again, adding another glorious chapter to their storied legacy.

    Gambhir’s Midas Touch

    Much of KKR’s success can be attributed to the tactical genius of mentor Gautam Gambhir. The former Indian opener, who led KKR to their previous two IPL triumphs, has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the team’s ethos. His calm demeanor and astute decision-making proved invaluable throughout the tournament, culminating in a well-deserved victory.

    Rinku Singh: The Unlikely Hero

    While star performers like Venkatesh Iyer and Nitish Rana played their part, it was the unheralded Rinku Singh who truly stole the show. With KKR teetering at 89/5 in their pursuit of 174, the left-hander displayed nerves of steel, smashing an unbeaten 42 off just 28 deliveries to guide his team home.

    Cummins’ Valiant Effort in Vain

    For SRH, Pat Cummins led from the front, both with the ball and the bat. The Australian spearhead claimed three crucial wickets before contributing a blistering 33 off just 18 balls. However, his efforts ultimately fell short as KKR held their nerve in the closing stages.

    Shah Rukh’s Unbridled Passion

    As the winning runs were scored, the celebrations reached a crescendo, with Shah Rukh Khan leading the charge. The Bollywood superstar, known for his unwavering passion for the sport, was seen embracing Gambhir and the players, his joy evident for all to see. The victory not only cemented KKR’s status as one of the most successful IPL franchises but also underscored Shah Rukh’s deep commitment to the team.

    Tactical Masterclass from Gambhir

    Gautam Gambhir’s influence on KKR’s fortunes cannot be overstated. From his shrewd team selections to his calculated bowling changes, the former India opener displayed a tactical acumen that kept his side ahead of the game. His ability to inspire and motivate his players was equally vital, as evidenced by the team’s resilience in the face of adversity.

  • RR vs PBKS Dream11 Team Prediction, Match Preview, Fantasy Cricket Hints: Captain, Probable Playing 11s, Team News; Injury Updates For Today’s Rajasthan Royals Vs Punjab Kings In Barsapara Cricket Stadium, 730PM IST, Guwahati | cricket news

    Rajasthan Royals (RR) play Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the first match to be played at Barsapara cricket Stadium in Guwahati, Assam. This is RR’s second home ground this season and also the home of their batter Riyan Parag. This is an inconsequential match in respect of playoffs qualification. Both teams have two games left but RR have already qualified. With DC beating LSG, RR’s place was confirmed. However, they will still be looking to win games in lead up to the playoffs and also to ensure they finish in the top-two. Sunrisers Hyderabad can take the second spot if they win their remaining two games. RR must win and maintain a better NRR than third-placed Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and SRH to seal the berth in the playoffs as one of top two teams in the group stage this year.

    On the other hand, Punjab Kings will be looking to win their remaining two games to finish the season on a high. They are out and placed right at the bottom of the table right now. They would not want to finish with just 8 points and as the worst side this season.

  • IPL 2024 DC Vs RR: Why Sanju Samson Was GIVEN Out By Third Umpire After Shai Hope’s Controversial Catch? , cricket news

    IPL 2024 DC Vs RR: Why Sanju Samson Was GIVEN Out By Third Umpire After Shai Hope’s Controversial Catch?

    The Delhi Capitals (DC) vs Rajasthan Royals (RR) clash in IPL 2024 saw a controversial moment when Sanju Samson was dismissed in the 16th over if the innings. Samson was batting on 86 and all RR hopes were pinned on him as 60 runs were still required off 27 deliveries. Samson was a crucial wicket for DC and they were pretty relieved to see his back as the RR captain was held at long on boundary. But the dismissal is still being discussed as many of the Sanju and RR fans feel the third umpire was wrong to judge him out. RR could manage just 201 for 8 in 20 overs, losing the match by 20 runs.

    What is the controversy?

    Samson hit the ball down the ground but with not much elevation. Shai Hope, fielding at long on boundary, caught it at chest height. However, his legs were very close to the boundary cushions. So close that it appeared as if Hope’s shoes had brushed the cushions. Hope claimed the catch but the onfield umpire wanted to check the legitimacy of the catch by going upstairs and dialed Michael Gough, who was the man-in-charge for this game.

    IPL has got rid of soft signal. Now, what is a soft signal? While the onfield umpire transfers the responsibility to make some decisions to third umpire because the naked eye could not grab some visuals, he or she used to call it out or not out. This was called a soft signal. The third umpire used to look at the replays to see if the onfield decision can be reversed or not. The onfield umpire makes this soft signal by keeping in mind various factors. IPL stopped using soft signals from 2021 IPL while ICC scrapped it in 2023 for contentious catches.

    In Sanju’s case, umpire Gough was on his own to decide the fate of the batter. However, he himself needed to be fully assured that Hope had touched the cushions. While Hope’s feet were close to the ropes, the shadows created by them and the cushion was not making it very clear that the contact really happened. Umpire Gough stuck to the process and rules. There was no way he was going to get a clear picture. There was no soft signal here. Gough did not see any conclusive evidence to judge it not out.

    After looking at the available camera angles, Gough could not reach to a conclusion that Hope had not taken a legitimate catch. The decision is not saying that it was a clean catch. Rather it is saying that there was no enough evidence to say that it was not a legitimate catch.

  • CSK vs LSG Dream11 Team Prediction, Match Preview, Fantasy Cricket Hints: Captain, Probable Playing 11s, Team News; Injury Updates For Today’s Chennai Super Kings Vs Lucknow Super Giants In MA Chidambaram Stadium, 730PM IST, Chennai | cricket news

    Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) again in IPL 2024, a few days after they met at Ekana stadium. LSG were victorious on that occasion but here at Chepauk, it is fair to say that CSK will start as favourites. Chennai play brilliantly at home because the makeup of their side suits the conditions. The good news for CSK is that their former skipper MS Dhoni is in great touch at the death. It will be interesting to see whether he has a role to play in this game today.

    Having said that, do not pick Dhoni in your fantasy team because he bats way lower down the order and may not get the chance to bat. It is better to include top-order batters in the Dream11 prediction. KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock, Shivam Dube, Ruturaj Gaikwad have all been in good touch. Matheesha Pathirana, Mustafizur Rahman, Mohsin Khan and Moeen Ali can be great picks as well.

    Mayank Yadav will not play this match as he has stayed back in Lucknow and is likely to make a comeback in the team’s next game. There are no injury concerns in Chennai camp.
