IPL 2021 Auctions: 5 Capped Players who might go unsold.&nbsp; Top 5 predicted players who could go unsold. IPL 2021 Auctions: 5 Capped Players who might go unsold.



The thirteenth edition of the Indian Premier League was no doubt one of the nail-biting tournaments ever. Teams fought for mere two points to get to the business end of the League. The cash-rich Indian T20 League, however, came out to be the stress buster in these tough times for the fans all over the world.



Indian Premier League ended on 10th November with defending champions, Mumbai Indians yet again proving its metal in the league for the record 5th time. After the wrap of the league, the preparations for the upcoming season has already begun.&nbsp;



Roughly 4 months are left for the most awaited tournament and the boards is looking for the expansion of IPL. In the meantime, the Cricket pundits are making their guesses for franchises strategies.



So, here is the list of 5 capped (Indian/ International) players who might go unsold in IPL 2021 if a mega auction is conducted.



<h2>5 Capped Players who might go unsold if IPL 2021 Auctions are conducted:</h2>



<h3>1. Kedar Jadhav (CSK):</h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Kedar-Jadhav-1.jpg" alt="Kedar Jadhav (Chennai Super Kings, CSK) IPL 2021 Auctions" class="wp-image-21566"/><figcaption>Kedar Jadhav (Chennai Super Kings, CSK) | Image - PTI</figcaption></figure></div>



The Indian all-rounder is under fans scanner for not performing in recent times. Kedar Jadhav is in the news for all the bad reasons that can be possible. The CSK all-rounder played 8 games for Chennai and scored just 62 runs with a miserable average of 20.66.&nbsp;



The all-rounder didn?t get a chance to bowl in IPL 2020. Jadhav might get released by CSK, as the management has already decided to change the core.



<h3>2. Varun Aaron (RR):</h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Varun-Aaron.jpg" alt="Varun Aaron (Rajasthan Royals, RR) IPL 2021 Auctions" class="wp-image-21567"/><figcaption>Varun Aaron (Rajasthan Royals, RR) | Image - BCCI</figcaption></figure></div>



The 31 years old Indian bowler got just 3 games for Rajasthan Royals this season. Aaron went wicketless in those three games, with a high economy of 11.75.&nbsp;



<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2021-top-10-highest-paid-cricketers-in-ipl/">READ- IPL 2021: Top 10 Highest Paid Cricketers in IPL</a>



The Rajasthan Bowler is not in a good form in recent times including domestic circuits. He might get unsold in IPL 2021 Auctions.



<h3>3. Andrew Tye (RR):</h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Andrew-Tye.jpg" alt="Andrew Tye (Rajasthan Royals, RR) IPL 2021 Auctions" class="wp-image-21568"/><figcaption>Andrew Tye (Rajasthan Royals, RR) | Image - BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure></div>



The Australian bowler found it difficult to perform in the 13th edition of IPL. Being surrounded by the excess of foreign players in the squad, it was strenuous to break into the final eleven. However, after given the chance to play, Tye could not perform to his level.



Rajasthan had expectations with the 2018 edition Purple Cap winner but it was a disappointing season for the Australian. Tye on his outing got one wicket by giving 50 runs with an economy of 12.50.&nbsp;



Rajasthan Royals might think to release him, it will give them a spot to get one impactful player for the fourteenth edition of the Indian Premier League.



<h3>4. Umesh Yadav (RCB):</h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Umesh-Yadav.jpg" alt="Umesh Yadav (Royal Challenger Bangalore, RCB) IPL 2021 Auctions" class="wp-image-21569"/><figcaption>Umesh Yadav (Royal Challenger Bangalore, RCB) | Image - AP</figcaption></figure></div>



In recent few years the stalwart Indian pacer did commendable work for the test side. The pacer, however, became the regular face for Indian Team in red-ball cricket.&nbsp;



The 33 years old enjoyed success in the 2018 and 2019 editions of the Indian Premier League. But the 2020 edition did not go as planned for the RCB pacer. Umesh went wicketless this time with just 2 game appearances.&nbsp;



Royal Challenger Bangalore might think of releasing him ahead of IPL 2021.



<h3>5. Piyush Chawla (CSK):</h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Piyush-Chawla.jpg" alt="Piyush Chawla (Chennai Super Kings, CSK) IPL 2021 Auctions" class="wp-image-21570"/><figcaption>Piyush Chawla (Chennai Super Kings, CSK) | Image - CSK Twitter</figcaption></figure></div>



The Indian leg spinner was expected to fill the voids created by Harbhajan Singh after pulling out of IPL. The 31 years old spinner could not stand on the franchise?s expectations.



Chawla got the highest bid ( Indian Players) of 6.75 Crores rupees from CSK. In the 7 outings of the leg spinner, he managed to pick 6 wickets with an economy of 9.09.&nbsp;



Chennai Super Kings might release him, as he is expensive and look for better options.

IPL 2021 Auctions: 5 Capped Players who might go unsold

ipl-2021-auctions-5-capped-players-who-might-go-unsold

IPL 2021 will be delayed for at least 2 weeks with respect to the previous season.



IPL 2021: The fourteenth season of the Indian T20 League is confirmed to get delayed for at least two weeks. The last time IPL was played in India in 2019 and it started on 23rd March, however, this time it will not be possible to carry out IPL on the same timeline.



Taking into consideration the England tour 2021 and other domestic tournaments taking place, it is likely to get delayed.



<h2>IPL 2021 Delay</h2>



The Board of Control for Cricket in India recently announced the schedule for the England tour to India in 2021. India and England are scheduled to play four test games, five Twenty20 games, and three ODIs in the course of two months.



The series is going to be hectic as the number of matches is very high in number in less time. The first game of the tour will be played on February 5 in Chennai. However, after two test games both the teams will head towards Ahmedabad for the next two Test games and five T20Is.



The series will end on March 28 with the third ODI at Pune.



After a long and exhausting series of two months, the Indian players will be given enough rest to manage to workload. It is expected that the IPL might begin from the second week of April.



In the meantime, other than international cricket, the domestic circuit will also take place. Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy is scheduled to begin on January 10.



However, BCCI might be keen on conducting Vijay Hazare Trophy after SMAT 2021. Conducting a Vijay Hazare Trophy will give more room to the scouting teams of IPL.



<h2>IPL 2021 New Team/Franchise:</h2>



It is almost clear that Ahmedabad will most probably be the new franchise. The recent actions of BCCI to conduct more games at Ahmedabad?s Motera Stadium strengthens the statement more.



However, the introduction will depend on BCCI Annual General Meeting which will be conducted on 24th December.



If the party decides to egress more than one team, Pune/Lucknow/Kanpur will be on the list.

IPL 2021 will be delayed for at least 2 weeks with respect to the previous season

ipl-2021-will-be-delayed-for-at-least-2-weeks-with-respect-to-the-previous-season

The IPL 2020 season is done, with the Mumbai Indians further cementing their spot as one of the greatest teams in the league?s history. With that still fresh in the minds of fans, talks about the next and 14th season in 2021 have started and people are eager to have as much information as they can have about it.



While there is very little available information right now about the IPL 2021 season, there are already things that fans can go with, such as early <a href="https://www.thetopbookies.com/ipl-bookmakers">IPL 2021 betting odds sites in India</a>, for example. But aside from that, what are the things that we currently know about the upcoming IPL 2021 season?



<h2>When will the IPL 2021 start?</h2>



While there is still no official start date announced for the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2021-updates-franchises-likely-to-demand-for-the-change-in-the-rules/">upcoming IPL 2021</a>, it is already expected that it would be delayed by at least two weeks, as compared to the start date of the IPL 20219 season. This pouts the possible opening of the upcoming season by no earlier than April 10, 2021. This hint was due to the current schedule of England?s tour of India that is facilitated by the BCCI. To recall, the IPL 2019 opened its season on March 23, 2019.



The BCCI, as per their announced schedule for India?s four-Test, five T20I, and three ODI series facing off with England, would have all these activities end on March 8, 2021. Following that, IPL players are expected to take a short break and fulfill any commercial or sponsorship obligation that some of them may have on backlog before they can finally get ready for the new season.



Time is one of the biggest pressures here as the 2020 season was delayed so much that almost the entire calendar of activities for the league was moved to a later date.



<h2>Suresh Raina to return to professional cricket</h2>



Former India and Chennai Super Kings batsman Suresh Raina has been confirmed to return to the Indian Premier League. Known as one of the highest earners in the IPL?s franchise history, Raina did not play for the league for more than two years, with his last team being CSK.



After he decides to skip the IPL 2020 and leaving CSK, Raina would then have to undergo an auction process before getting signed on for his new team, or whether if CSK would end up acquiring him again. As for the auction itself, the <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/bcci-plans-tender-for-new-ipl-franchise-post-diwali/articleshow/79182681.cms">BCCI has yet to announce</a> how the deals for the upcoming seasons would go. Regardless, for Raina, the Syed Mushtaq Ali would be a good way to showcase his strength before the actual auctions start.



<h2>New teams? Maybe, maybe not</h2>



One of the several changes that are being suggested for the IPL 2021 season is the addition of new teams. This would have not been a problem, had the world, particularly India, did not go through the pandemic that started earlier this year and is still raging on in several parts of the world.



Some BCCI officials are reportedly thinking that adding teams for this season is not a feasible decision. This is considering that there is very little time to prepare for the new teams--since setting up a team is not as easy as gathering people to play and getting a coach to manage. Another reason is that adding in more teams would also mean having more games in a home and wavy format. This is something that does not sound like a good idea, especially in the times of a pandemic like what India is still going through right now.

3 Things To Expect For IPL Season 14 2021

3-things-to-expect-for-ipl-season-14-2021

IPL 2021 Updates: Mega Auctions or Mini Auctions? New Teams for IPL before IPL 2021 or before IPL 2022.



IPL 2021 Updates: As the time getting closer to the Annual General Meeting of BCCI and the officials of ICC, the dynamics started to change. According to the recent reports from the official source, BCCI might look to conduct Mini Auctions instead of Mega Auctions.



The official statement will be released only after the BCCI Annual General Meeting on 24th December.



Earlier, Sourav Ganguly led BCCI wanted to conduct full-fledged Auctions ahead of IPL 2021 but there seems to be a slight change in the decision. As per the recent reports, BCCI is keen on carrying out Mini-Auctions right now and will be conducting Full Fledged Auctions in IPL 2022.



?Carrying out full auctions will not be a piece of cake right now because of time constraints and other issues. Rather BCCI will aim to conduct mini-auctions so that franchisees can exchange some players. The schedules for the auctions and other formalities are still not decided,? BCCI official.



<h2>Dates for Mini-Auctions:</h2>



The mini auctions will be held 11 February 2021. With Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Wrapping up on 31st January, it will be easy for the franchises to scout some talents and bid for them in mini-auctions.



The time between mid-February and March is much suited for the auctions as all the tournaments will be over till then. BCCI is also keen on conducting Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021 subsequently right after Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.



This will give more room to the IPL Franchises to make better choices for their respective teams.



The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is almost done to add new teams to IPL, but the addition is certainly going to get delayed. As cited earlier, time constraints will push BCCI to delay the process for 2022.



Ahmedabad is almost booked as the new franchise will other option is yet to be announced.

IPL 2021 Updates: Mega Auctions before IPL 2021? New Teams for IPL

ipl-2021-updates-mega-auctions-before-ipl-2021-new-teams-for-ipl

Another year, another season for the Indian Premier League. Although the past season was a very challenging time not only for the fans but also to every team and to everyone involved in the sports, as people had seen all of the sports get closed down and all games get suspended due to the restrictions caused by the threat of the pandemic. Now, as things start to pick up a gear again, so does sports--which means that a new season is something to watch out for.



While the odds and lines to bet today on IPL match are available, nothing is certain yet and these numbers would still change as the start date draws near. In the meantime, here are some of the most important things that you need to know about the IPL 2021.



<h2>IPL back in India for 2021</h2>



If 2020 was anything for the Indian Premier League, it was a very tough and challenging year for the teams and the entire league as a whole. Due to the worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic in India (as well as the many parts of the world, too), the BCCI decided to continue the <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/ipl-2020-could-the-tournament-be-played-outside-india/articleshow/76231097.cms">2020 season outside of India</a>. To date, while games have been played outside of the country in the past, it was never as ?forced? as it has been for the entire 2020 situation. This entire situation also put great stress on players as they were forced to play more games with tighter gaps to catch up to schedule as much as possible.



Now, the good news is that the situation may already be looking good enough that the cricket teams can finally go home and start the seasons in the league?s home country. According to the BCCI, although a new season held in the UAE was put into the table for considerations, it may not be the case anymore right now.



"We are working on having the IPL in India and we are hopeful that we would be able to organize it," BCCI treasurer Arun Singh Dhumalsaid in an <a href="https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/ipl-2021-bcci-not-looking-at-back-up-overseas-venue-for-ipl-says-treasurer-arun-singh-dhumal-2360540">interview</a>. "We are not even thinking of a back-up also at this point, we are wanting to do it here. India is probably safer than UAE at this point. Hopefully, the situation remains stable and keeps improving and we will have it here."



<h2>IPL 2021 start date, auction date</h2>



So far, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had confirmed that the Indian Premier League 2021 season would start on April 11, 2021. This would place the new season only around two weeks after India finishes its tour with England. The all-format series games between the two countries started on February 5, 2021, and they will be played as a four-match Test series.



Of course, as usual, before the games, the auctions would take place. So far, several teams have already announced a partial list of players that they would retain for the upcoming season and those that they would let go and be left open for acquisition by other teams.



The auction will take place on February 18 in Chennai, and while there had been rumors of names that each team may acquire, nothing can be certain until the day itself comes.



<h2>Where to watch the IPL 2021 Livestream</h2>



For locals of India, the games will be telecast on the Star Sports Network, and the network has made a deal to have the game available in multiple languages for international fans. For everyone else outside of India, the games would be available for streaming through Disney+ Hotstar. Other streaming services are also expected to partner with the IPL to make the games available to as many fans around the world as possible.

IPL 2021 Auction Live: CSK, DC, RCB, KKR, MI, KXIP, RR, SRH Squad All you need to know

ipl-2021-auction-live-csk-dc-rcb-kkr-mi-kxip-rr-srh-squad-all-you-need-to-know

Rishabh Pant, who was struggling throughout the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, went on to slam a 29-ball fifty in the second innings of the fifth test at the Sydney Cricket Ground. His innings gave India a massive chance to stick into the game and have some hopes going into the third day. This is not new that Pant has slammed a quickfire knock.
Even in the past, he has played some blazing innings. India have a rich history of batsmanship. Over the years, there have been many Indian flamboyant batters who have made the world notice the game. This article will include some of those batters, where we will talk about the top five fastest half-centuries in test cricket for the Indian cricket team.
<h2>Top Five Fastest Half-Centuries for Team India in Test Cricket</h2>
5. Yashasvi Jaiswal (31 balls) vs Bangladesh, 2024
Yashasvi Jaiswal is among the new generation of batting stars for India. He has already shown that he is a special talent. He slammed the joint-fourth fastest test fifty for India. He slammed a 31-ball fifty against Bangladesh in Kanpur in September 2024. India declared 285/9 in just 34.4 overs. Jaiswal also scored 51 not out in the second innings and won the MOTM award.
4. Shardul Thakur (31 balls) vs England, 2021
Shardul Thakur is known for his bowling ability, but he knows how to use the long handle. He has shown that time to time that he is capable with the bat as well. Shardul has twin half-centuries at the Oval against England in 2021. He made 57 and 60 in the game, and India won that by 157 runs. The fifty in the first innings came off just 31 balls. He made 57 off 36 balls, with 7 fours and three sixes.
3. Kapil Dev (30 balls) vs Pakistan, 1982
Former Indian captain Kapil Dev was a swashbuckling cricketer who had the ability to win games with bat and ball both. He played many game-changing innings in his career. One of those came against Pakistan in 1982 in Karachi. Though India lost that game, Kapil was at his best. He slammed a 30-ball fifty in the first innings and made 73 off 53, with 12 fours and one six.He also took 5/102 with the ball.
2. Rishabh Pant (29 balls) vs Australia, 2025
Pant is among the fearless cricketers in modern-day cricket. He has played some game-changing knocks, and one came in the New Year test against Australia at SCG. India were down and out after losing their top order. That's when he came out and slammed a 29-ball fifty and scored 61 off 33 balls, with six fours and four sixes.

India suffered a massive blow when ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah left the field on Day 2 of the ongoing fifth and final test between India and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground. On the second day, Bumrah only bowled 8 more overs and was seen in discomfort.
He left the field just after lunch on day 1 after bowling one over. He had a word with Virat Kohli, who led the team in his absence. Later he was seen going to the hospital for precautionary scans and left SCG with security liaison officer Anshuman Upadhyay and the team doctor.
It left India with no choice, and the other pacers had to share the workload. However, the Indian bowlers bowled pretty well and dismissed Australia for 181 runs in 51 overs, giving a four-run lead to India, but Bumrah's injury became the talking point of the town.
<h2>Jasprit Bumrah's injury update: Pacer returns to SCG after undergoing scans</h2>
It came as a body blow to the touring team, who were already struggling to survive in the series, when Jasprit Bumrah had to leave the ground. After a wait of a couple of hours, the pacer returned at the venue around 11:15 AM IST on Saturday. However, he was in discomfort when he left the field, but when he came back, he looked pretty relaxed.
It can be a confidence booster for Team India and fans, as Bumrah's body language indicated that there is no sign of worry. Notably, India will be bowling in the fourth innings, and they need their best bowler at his full throttle. Bumrah is the leading wicket-taker in the ongoing series. He has taken 32 wickets at an exceptional average of 13.05.
Even on Day 2, he took an important wicket of Marnus Labuschagne. In his absence, Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj stepped up and bowled pretty well. Both pacers took three wickets each, and Nitish Kumar Reddy also supported them with two vital wickets.
At the stumps on Day 2, India finished at 141/6, and they have a lead of 145 with four wickets in hand. Ravindra Jadeja (8 off 39) and Washington Sundar (6 off 17) are at the crease. The Indian top order failed once again, but it was Rishabh Pant who slammed India's second-fastest fifty off 29 balls.
He scored 61 off 33 balls, with six fours and four sixes to bring back India into the game. However, India lost a couple of wickets at the very end, which has made the game pretty even. But India would hope to have a sizable lead of around 200 runs, and with Bumrah completely fit, they will fancy their chances on this tough pitch.

The crowd at the Sydney Cricket Ground has always been under the scanner, especially when the Indian team plays. During the last Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the fans in Sydney didn't go easy on the Indian players as they made life tough for them. 
During the last Test between India and Australia, Indian players in Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj were at the receiving end of racial slurs. The players of the team were abused by the fans, and it turned out to be a big controversy, with Sydney Cricket management banning the particular section of the ground. 
A similar kind of thing unfolded on Day 1 of the ongoing match between India and Australia. Again, a particular section of the crowd came under the radar. The fans were abusing Indian fans in the stadium as they were seen chanting, "Where is your visa?". The video went viral on the internet with many lashing out at fans. 
The people at the Sydney Cricket Ground were also seen booing Indian players as well. They had a go at Virat Kohli and then later Jasprit Bumrah, who was involved in a massive fight with Sam Konstas during the last over of Day 1 of the ongoing Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. 
Coming to the match, Australia started the last day of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 on a dominating note. The visitors carried their good form and put India under massive pressure at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. The start with the bat didn't go the way India would've wanted as both the openers, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal, were back early. Shubman Gill, who replaced Rohit Sharma, played a decent hand of 20 runs off 64 balls with two boundaries. 
He, along with Virat Kohli (17), added 40 runs for the third wicket. But both the batters couldn't bat for long as India was left tottering at 72 for four. Rishabh Pant (40) batted with great grit and looked solid before he yet again perished to a wild shot. Ravindra Jadeja (26), too, had a start, but he too couldn't get going for long as India was reduced to 148/8. Captain Jasprit Bumrah (22) hit some shots in the end and took the team to a total of 185. 
Australia, in response, lost Usman Khawaja as Jasprit Bumrah bagged his 31st wicket of the series. At stumps, Australia was 9 for one with 176 runs behind.
