<p>In what has been the latest development as per the reports in Sports Tak, it is learned that Rishabh Pant will be a strong candidate to captain Chennai Super Kings. The reports added that the <a href="https://www.delhicapitals.in" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.delhicapitals.in">Delhi Capitals </a>skipper will be traded ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.?</p>



<p>The reports suggested that Chennai Super Kings have already sorted their future leader after MS Dhoni. It was expected that team management would give giving baton to Ruturaj Gaikwad. But they have reportedly chosen Rishabh Pant as his successor.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Ms Dhoni will potentially be playing his last season in the IPL in 2024. To hand the captaincy to someone else will be a tough task for CSK because they recently tried that and it didn?t work. In IPL 2022, Ravindra &nbsp; Jadeja was given the leadership but he failed.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Chennai Super Kings were the second team to be eliminated from the tournament and after that MS Dhoni took the baton back. He guided the team to a title win in 2023. But IPL 2024 is expected to be his last season in the tournament and the real test for CSK will begin.?</p>

<p>However, with reports related to Rishabh Pant being there will be a massive boost for them. In the Indian team as well, the left-hander replaced MS Dhoni and is doing a great job. Therefore CSK would be expecting the same if the reports are true. Pant has been part since he started playing IPL.?</p>

<p>He recently was made captain of the team and did a great job. However, him moving to CSK could be one of the biggest moves in the IPL. Recently R Ashwin also suggested something similar, stating that CSK wanted a keeper batter in trade as a replacement for MS Dhoni but the trade couldn?t work.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Former Indian cricketer Deepdas Gupta also recently hinted about Rishabh Pant playing for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. He stated that Pant and MS Dhoni are very close and both spend a lot of time together, therefore the move could be on the cards.?</p>



<p>Rishabh Pant has been out of action since last December. He faced a horrible accident and has been out of action since then. The keeper-batter is likely to make a comeback in the IPL 2024 and is expected to captain the team.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/t20/indian-premier-league/ipl-2024/" rel="nofollow">IPL 2024</a>:</strong>?After Hardik Pandya was announced as the new captain of Mumbai Indians (MI) for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, this didn't go well in the MI camp. The Key Players like Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav expressed their feelings through social media but it was an indirect message. Now, Mumbai Indians lost two consecutive games in the TATA IPL 2024 due to poor captaincy by Hardik Pandya.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=Rohit+Sharma" rel="nofollow">Rohit Sharma </a>is one of the most successful IPL captains as Mumbai Indians won five titles under his leadership and he is the main pillar of MI. Rohit was one of those players who built Mumbai Indians as a brand in the Indian Premier League (IPL), he led MI to the playoffs in the IPL 2023 with a young and inexperienced bowling unit.</p>



<p>In the IPL 2024, Rohit Sharma is playing under Hardik, whom MI's team management traded from<a href="https://www.gujarattitansipl.com/"> Gujarat Titans</a> during the IPL 2024 Trading Window. This decision raises many questions about the future of Rohit Sharma with MI and its potential impact on the Indian T20 team.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Should Rohit Sharma Stay with MI?</strong></h2>



<p>Rohit Sharma almost played his entire IPL career for Mumbai Indians and under his leadership, MI won five IPL trophies, which makes them one of the most successful franchises in IPL history. A player who gives his all to the team or franchise shows his loyalty towards them.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/03/IPL-2024-Rohit-Sharma-1024x683.jpg" alt="IPL 2024: Should Rohit Sharma Continue Playing for MI in the IPL 2024 Under the Captaincy of Hardik Pandya? Will This also Impact the Indian T20 Team?" class="wp-image-128437" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong>IPL 2024 Rohit Sharma | Image Credit: X.com(@IPL)</strong></figcaption></figure>



<p>The ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 is on the way just after the IPL 2024 so, players need to be fit and also they have a great chance to regain their form. Rohit Sharma is looking phenomenal in the first two matches of TATA IPL 2024 and he should continue the same momentum which will help him in the ICC mega event.</p>



<p>But, It's all up to Rohit Sharma, whether he is comfortable playing under Hardik or he will move to the IPL 2025 mega auction. If we look at the current situation in the Mumbai Indians dressing room things aren't well and there is a high possibility Rohit and some other key players will leave MI After the IPL 2024.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Impact on the Indian T20 Team?</strong></h2>



<p>After stepping down as a captain of the Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma can focus solely on his batting as Virat Kohli did after leaving captaincy in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. This will benefit him and also the Indian Team as Rohit Sharma is known for his aggressive batting and if he can able to do the same in the T20 World Cup 2024, it might lead the Indian team to have their second trophy.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Uncertainties and Challenges in the MI Camp in the TATA IPL 2024:</strong></h2>



<p>There is a lot of pressure on Hardik after replacing the legendary player like Rohit Sharm as the captain of the team. Hardik Pandya needs to establish his own legacy while respecting Rohit's experience.</p>



<p>However, As per the recent developments, things are not good in the MI camp as groups are forming inside the team therefore this could affect the team morale and performance as well.</p>

<p>CSK's MS Dhoni has once again kept an enigma around him and his decision relating to his retirement from all forms of cricket. Although, Dhoni hasn't himself announced anything yet, fans and experts fear that this will be his last swan-song in the IPL and he will no longer be seen in the same capacity in the Chennai Super Kings (CSK).</p>



<p>The cricket experts are engaged in the same sort of discussions as well as to whether this was MS Dhoni's last swan song or if will he come back in the IPL 2025. </p>



<p>Former Australian cricketer and renowned commentator, Matthew Hayden believes that the universe has seen the last of MS Dhoni in the yellow jersey as a player and he will no longer be in the same capacity in the side. However, he added that Dhoni could be roped into side the side as a mentor.</p>



<p>MS Dhoni's last IPL game, possibly, came against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The wicketkeeper batter scored 25 runs from 13 deliveries in the game and gave some hope to his team, but his side fell 27 runs short of the target.</p>



<p>?I think this is it. I do believe that this will be the last time that Dhoni will play. Certainly, won?t be the last time that we see Dhoni. I?d be very surprised if he doesn?t mentor or be a part of the family of CSK in an official capacity,? said Hayden on Star Sports Cricket Live.</p>



<p>Hayden, who has shared a cricket pitch alongside MS Dhoni, talked about the legacy which MS Dhoni has kept as the leader of the team for so many years.</p>



<p>?I suppose the thing is when you come to the end of your career, whether it is the last part of his career or not, what you don?t want to see is diminishing returns as an athlete. Firstly, as a leader, he is The Thala of the Chennai Super Kings. This is telling me that nothing here is about becoming anything else other than first place," he added.</p>



<p>Dhoni smashed 14 fours and 13 sixes during the IPL 2024 as he scored 161 runs at an impressive average of 53.66. In the final game against RCB, a few nights ago, Dhoni contributed with three boundaries and a six to take his side close to the total.</p>



<p>?He?s desperately using his brains, all of that cricket knowledge. And of course, the power is there and that?s always been MS Dhoni. He?s always hit balls at this stage of an innings. At the front, you can understand how players can hit it. But at the back, it?s really hard to hit balls,? Hayden added.</p>



<p>Interestingly, MS Dhoni has kept an enigma around him and his decisions. He has never been so outspoken when it came to inform about his future plans. His international retirement came as a shocker when he put out a social media post captioning, "Thanks a lot for ur love and support throughout. From 1929 hrs consider me as Retired."</p>



<p>During the previous editions of the <a href="https://iplt20.com">IPL</a>, Dhoni used to be in the pre and post-match presentations and the broadcasters had the luxury to throw at him the question of his retirement, however, this time he had left the leadership prior to the start of the IPL season.</p>



<p>It remains to be seen what comes as a surprise from MS Dhoni shortly. It's very unlikely for MS to continue given his age and the muscle injury which he was carrying. </p>

<p>Chennai Super Kings' journey in IPL 2024 ended after the defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore in a do-or-die match at Chinnaswamy on 18th May. In the must-win match, Chennai needed 201 runs in 20 overs to qualify but Gaikwad and company could only score 191 runs.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><div><div class=""><a href="#csk-ipl-2024-full-squad">CSK IPL 2024 Full SQUAD</a></div></div></nav></div>



<p>The journey of IPL 2024 was nothing special for Chennai Super Kings, the first shock that Chennai fans felt at the beginning of this season was when they came to know that Dhoni is not leading the team this year. Under the captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad, the team had a good start to the tournament. In the first two games of the Chennai tournament, they defeated Bengaluru by six wickets and in the second match, CSK defeated Gujarat Titans by 63 runs to stake its claim in the tournament.</p>



<p>The defending champion had won four out of the first seven matches in the first half of the tournament. In the first half, They defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Gujarat Titans, Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians. In the second half, out of the seven matches played, Chennai won only three matches, due to which the path of qualification for the team became difficult.</p>



<p>In IPL-2024, Chennai Super Kings dominated all the teams in home matches. The defending champions won five out of seven matches played at their home ground, M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, while Chennai won only two matches in away games. This was the biggest reason why the team could not even qualify for IPL-2024.</p>



<p>For your information, let us tell you that there is going to be a mega auction in IPL-2025, which means that all the franchises can retain only four players in their team. So, let us take a look at who will be the four players whom CSK franchise will retain in the Indian Premier League 2025.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="csk-ipl-2024-full-squad"><strong>CSK IPL 2024 Full SQUAD</strong></h4>



<p>MS Dhoni, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Mitchell Santner, Tushar Deshpande, Matheesha Pathirana, Simarjeet Singh, Prashant Solanki, Maheesh Theekshana, Shaik Rasheed, Nishant Sindhu, Ajay Mandal, Mukesh Choudhary, Rachin Ravindra, Shardul Thakur, Daryl Mitchell, Sameer Rizvi, Mustafizur Rahman, Avinash Rao Aravelly</p>

<p>If there is any biggest question in the cricketing world then it is, will Mahendra Singh Dhoni be seen playing in IPL-2025 or not? Confirming this, Chennai Super Kings' X player Suresh Raina believes that he can be seen playing for Chennai in the 18th season of the Indian Premier League also. ?<strong><em>Ruturaj Gaikwad needs more time to mature, so MS Dhoni should play one more season</em></strong>,? Raina said on Jio Cinema.</p>



<p>Dhoni had a good IPL-2024 season, scoring a total of 161 runs at 53.67 and an explosive strike rate of 220. MSD was dominant over all the bowlers in the last over, his explosive batting and leading technique is needed by Chennai Super Kings, in such a situation, if he does not announce retirement then the Chennai franchise would definitely want to retain him.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="ruturaj-gaikwad">Ruturaj Gaikwad</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Ruturaj-Gaikwad.jpg" alt="CSK To Retain THESE FOUR Players for IPL 2025 Prediction | Chennai Super Kings Retention List For Indian Premier?League?2025" class="wp-image-134423" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ruturaj Gaikwad | Pic: ipl20.com</figcaption></figure>



<p>Chennai would also like to retain Ruturaj Gaikwad, one of the most reliable players of Chennai Super Kings, in their team next year. Last season, Gaikwad had scored 590 runs in 16 innings at a class rate of 147, and in IPL-2024 too, a lot of runs came from his bat. In the 17th edition of IPL, Gaikwad scored 583 runs in 14 innings at an excellent average of 53.</p>



<p>Seeing Gaikwad's excellent batting and leading quality, Dhoni handed him the captaincy in IPL-2024. While captaining, the 27-year-old player took many good decisions for the team with his temperament and skill. In such a situation, in the eyes of Chennai franchise, Ruturaj Gaikwad will be the first choice in the retention list.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="shivam-dube">Shivam Dube</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Shivam-Dube.jpg" alt="CSK To Retain THESE FOUR Players for IPL 2025 Prediction | Chennai Super Kings Retention List For Indian Premier?League?2025" class="wp-image-134424" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Shivam Dube | Pic: ipl20.com</figcaption></figure>



<p>Chennai Super Kings' power striker Shivam Dube has been showing excellent batting performance for Chennai for some time now, this season proved to be a dream season for Dubey. Shivam Dubey, who has been giving excellent performance for some time, has also been named in the squad of T20 World Cup 2024. Dubey had scored 418 runs in IPL-2023 at a strike rate of 158.33, while in IPL-2024 he scored 396 runs in 14 innings at a strike rate of 162.</p>



<p>Dubey, 30, is seen hitting long balls against the opposition bowlers in the middle order with his power strike ability. Along with batting, Dube also bowls medium fast, which directly benefits the team.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="ravindra-jadeja">Ravindra Jadeja</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/RAvinndra.jpg" alt="CSK To Retain THESE FOUR Players for IPL 2025 Prediction | Chennai Super Kings Retention List For Indian Premier?League?2025" class="wp-image-134425" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ravindra Jadeja | Pic: ipl20.com</figcaption></figure>



<p>Who can forget Ravindra Jadeja? one of the star all-rounders of Chennai Super Kings Jadeja, the hero of IPL-2023, made Chennai the fifth time IPL winner by hitting a six and a four in the last two balls against Gujarat Titans. Jadeja had taken 20 wickets in 16 matches for Chennai in IPL-2023 with an excellent economy of 7.56 and with his batting, he had scored 190 runs at a strike rate of 142.86.</p>



<p>IPL-2024 was nothing special for Jadeja, he took only 8 wickets in total 14 matches and added 267 runs in batting at a strike rate of 142.78. Along with his spin bowling and batting, Jadeja also benefits the team with his prompt fielding.</p>

CSK To Retain THESE FOUR Players for IPL 2025 Prediction | Chennai Super Kings Retention List For Indian Premier?League?2025

<p>Royal Challengers Bangalore, one of the most popular teams of the Indian Premier League, has had a very exciting 2024. After the first half, RCB's chances of qualification for IPL-2024 were reduced to less than 1%, but despite this, the team qualifies for the playoffs due to its good performance.</p>



<p>The opening match of IPL 2024 was played between defending champion Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore, who were waiting for their first trophy for the last 17 years, in which CSK won the match by six wickets. RCB franchise changed its name from Royal Challengers Bangalore to Royal Challengers Bangaluru this season but apart from the name, there was no change in the performance of the team.</p>



<p>Faf du Plessis lead RCB, winning only one game in the first eight games and facing defeat in seven games. But the men in red made a comeback by winning the next six consecutive matches and qualified for the IPL-2024 playoffs with 14 points in the points table.</p>



<p>In Eliminator-1, Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals were in front of Bengaluru, who won the match by four wickets and showed RCB out of the race for the finals. Batting first, Faf Duplessis and company could score only 172 runs in 20 overs, which Rajasthan chased in 19 overs.</p>



<p>The Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise has a good opportunity to strengthen the squad. There is a mega auction before IPL-2025 in which all the players will be put in the auction. The management needs good batsmen, all-rounders in the middle order and good bowlers in the bowling department.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="rcb-ipl-2024-full-squad"><strong>RCB IPL 2024 Full SQUAD</strong></h3>

<p>No franchise can ever make the mistake of letting go of a great player like Virat Kohli, one of the most popular players of present day cricket. This season, Kohli scored a total of 741 runs for RCB in 15 matches at an impressive strike rate of 154.70 and 61.75. This was his second good year in his 17-year long IPL history, before this he had scored 973 runs in IPL-2016 which included four centuries.</p>



<p>In the IPL Mega Auction 2025, the Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise will be the first to retain Virat Kohli without any hesitation.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="rajat-patidar"><strong>Rajat Patidar</strong></h4>

<p>The second biggest name in the retention list could be that of right handed batsman Rajat Patidar. IPL-2024 proved to be a dream year for Rajat, he scored 395 runs in 15 matches with a strike rate of 177.13 and an average of 34. Patidar provided support to the team after Glenn Maxwell repeatedly failed in the middle order.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="mohammed-siraj"><strong>Mohammed Siraj</strong></h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Mohammed-Siraj.jpg" alt="RCB To Retain THESE FOUR Players for IPL 2025 Prediction | Royal Challengers Bengaluru Retention List For Indian Premier League 2025" class="wp-image-134465" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Mohammed Siraj | Pic: ipl20.com</figcaption></figure>



<p>Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj, who has been leading the bowling line-up of Royal Challengers Bangalore for a long time, will also be definitely retained by the RCB franchise in the team. In IPL 2022, the franchise invested Siraj in their team for INR 7 crores.</p>



<p>Mohammed Siraj's IPL-2024 was full of ups and downs. This season Siraj took 15 wickets in 14 matches with an economy of 9.19. Last season IPL-2023, Siraj had taken 19 wickets in 14 matches with an excellent economy of 7.52. The 30-year-old fast bowler is adept at taking wickets in the powerplay overs with his swing and also troubles the batsmen with his yorkers in the death overs.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="will-jacks"><strong>Will Jacks</strong></h4>

<p>25-year-old England batting all-rounder Will Jacks, playing his first IPL game, did brilliantly, RCB purchased Jacks in their team for Rs 3.20 crore in the 2024 mini auction.</p>



<p>Will Jacks scored 230 runs in 8 matches in IPL-2024 at a blazing strike rate of 175.57 and an excellent average of 32.86, which also included a century. Against the Gujarat Titans, Jacks played an inning of 131 runs in just 41 balls with the help of 10 sixes.</p>

<p>The five time IPL champions, who played in the second qualifier of IPL 2023, were keen to make a comeback and get back to lifting the IPL trophy again. And in order to lift their sixth trophy, the Mumbai-based franchise made a huge decision of bringing all rounder Hardik Pandya back to the team in an all cash deal worth 15 crore rupees from Gujarat Titans.</p>



<p>Ahead of IPL 2024?s Auction, Mumbai had decided to retain the core players of their squad and added Hardik to the squad as well before the auction in order to replace Cameron Green, who was traded in the most expensive trade deal in the history of the IPL worth 17.5 crore rupees to Royal Challengers Bengaluru.</p>



<p>But, Hardik?s return to MI had a mixed response from the fans and then things became even more worse when the MI management announced that Rohit Sharma - the most successful captain of the Mumbai Indians will be replaced by Hardik Pandya as the Skipper ahead of IPL 2024.</p>



<p>The decision of replacing Rohit with Hardik as the captain didn't please the fans at all and some main players of the franchise as well were not happy with the decision and social media platforms were filled with angry reactions. The 2024 season of the Indian Premier League for Mumbai ended on a poor note as well. Now, the five time winners will be tasked with building a squad which is capable of helping them lift their sixth title around their new captain.</p>



<p>The auction of IPL 2025 will be a mega auction similar to the one in 2022, where Mumbai were forced to release some star players from their squad including Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya but they had decided to retain Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Kieron Pollard.</p>



<p>Like the IPL 2022 mega auction, each franchise will reportedly be allowed to retain a maximum of four players for IPL 2025 as well. But, there are some rumors which say that team owners have requested the BCCI to allow each franchise to retain a maximum of eight players.</p>



<p>While there's no confirmation in regards to how many players can be retained by all the teams ahead of IPL 2025?s mega auction, it's very likely that franchises will be allowed to retain a maximum of four players each. In addition to player retention, teams will also have the option of using the Right To Match (RTM) cards in the mega auction.</p>



<p>If just four players are allowed to get retained, then the Mumbai based franchise will have to make some tough decisions on who to retain and release ahead of the 2025 IPL Mega Auction as they look to build a squad which can help them to get back to their title winning ways. Here are four players that Mumbai might retain:</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="four-players-mumbai-indians-might-retain-in-ipl-2025-auction"><strong>Four Players Mumbai Indians might?retain in IPL 2025 Auction</strong></h3>



<ol>
<li><strong>Suryakumar Yadav</strong></li>
</ol>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/03/Suryakumar-Yadav.jpg" alt="Mumbai Indians Breaking: Suryakumar Yadav to miss first two matches of IPL 2024" class="wp-image-127629" /></figure>



<p>The World?s number one T20 International batter, Suryakumar Yadav joined the Mumbai Indians in 2018 and impressed in his very first season, amassing 512 runs which included four fifties at a decent strike rate of 133.33. But, as his career progressed, the 33 year old not only expanded his range of shots, he also succeeded in batting at a strike rate of more than 145. Currently, SKY is the most irreplaceable player for any side out there and is likely to get retained by MI in the mega auction once again.</p>



<ol start="2">
<li><strong>Jasprit Bumrah</strong></li>
</ol>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Jasprit-Bumrah-MI-1.jpg" alt="IPL 2023: Players who can replace Jasprit Bumrah in IPL 2023 in MI Squad" class="wp-image-105859" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPL/BCCI</figcaption></figure>



<p>The best bowler in all formats of the game, Jasprit Bumrah is a force to reckon with for the Mumbai Indians. The 30 year old speedster joined MI in 2013 and impressed immediately on his debut as he got the precious wicket of Virat Kohli in his very first IPL match. His career has progressed a lot since then and he has improved even more with time. Bumrah has picked up 165 wickets in 133 matches in the Indian Premier League and has bowled at an outstanding economy rate of 7.30. In IPL 2024 as well, Bumrah managed to bowl at an economy of 6.48 while the others bowled at more than 10. The 30 year old has proven to be a crucial match winner for the Mumbai based franchise since his debut and imagining him playing for any other team is really hard.</p>



<ol start="3">
<li><strong>Tilak Verma</strong></li>
</ol>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/04/TILAK-VS-rcb-1.jpg" alt="RCB vs MI: RCB's perfect bowling start thumps MI but MI bounced back in death | IPL 2023" class="wp-image-106693" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">RCB vs MI: Tilak Verma, The young sensation</figcaption></figure>



<p>Tilak Verma started his IPL journey with the five time winners in 2022 where he had a fantastic debut season as he managed to score 397 runs in 14 encounters which consisted of two important fifties. Since his debut in 2022, Tilak has gone to become one of the most important players for the Mumbai based franchise and has taken up the important responsibility of batting at number four and rescuing his team from tough situations. The 21 year old had a breakthrough IPL 2024 season as he amassed 416 runs in 13 matches at a really good strike rate of 149.64. The Hyderabad born player has a bright future ahead of him and not retaining him might prove to be a major blunder for the Mumbai Indians.</p>



<ol start="4">
<li><strong>Hardik Pandya</strong></li>
</ol>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Hardik-Pandya-MI-1024x683.jpg" alt="MI vs SRH Dream11 Prediction IPL 2024, MI Playing 11, Dream11 Team, Head-To-Head Record, Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad" class="wp-image-132861" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPLT20</figcaption></figure>



<p>Ahead of IPL 2024, MI decided to trade Hardik Pandya in an all cash deal from 2022 winners Gujarat Titans and even decided to give him the leadership duties. However, this decision backfired and the joint most successful IPL franchise finished IPL 2024 at the bottom of the table after winning just four matches under the leadership of Hardik. But, the all rounder is a proven match winner and has played memorable and rescuing innings for both India and Mumbai Indians. It's highly unlikely that the MI management will lose faith in Hardik after just one season and will back him as the skipper in the?near?future.</p>

IPL 2025 Schedule, Tentative Date, Teams, Auction, History, and more. 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL 18) Overview

<p><strong>Hardik Pandya</strong>, one of the World Cup heroes for India, has always been a very special player for the Men in Blue across formats at several ICC tournaments. Pandya had a very decent season with both bat and ball in the World Cup, with his biggest contributions being wickets against Pakistan and his 3-fer that also included Miller?s wicket, which won India the spine-chilling T20 World Cup final. With this, India ended their 13-year drought without a World Cup trophy. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/SKY-wins-it-for-India-jpeg.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-144134" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">SKY wins it for India (Image: MSN)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p><br>However, just three weeks after the great World Cup triumph, Hardik?s world has turned upside down. With a shattered personal life, Pandya was recently snubbed of the captaincy role for India?s T20I. Suryakumar was appointed as the recent successor of retiring skipper Rohit Sharma; this marked a major setback in the all-rounder?s career. <br> <br>Now, after his major setback at the international level, what will be his future with the IPL?s most successful franchise? Pandya left MI for a big-budget move to the Gujarat Titans in 2022, and in their debut season, the exceptional all-rounder led them to a trophy triumph. After taking the Titans to yet another final in 2023, he was brought back to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai_Indians">Mumbai Indians</a> camp and took over Rohit?s position. <br> <br>Hardik did not receive the best of receptions from the MI crowd, as he was disgusted over the behavior of the crowd all over India. Hardik even could not up the morale of the team, as despite having one of the finest teams in the competition, the Mumbai Indians ended last in the points table. After having a disastrous season, it was often said that Hardik could be snubbed of such a crucial role. </p>

</figure>



<p><br>With the IPL 2025 probably being a mega auction, there are high chances of Rohit Sharma leaving the MI den after 15 long seasons with the franchise team. MI would surely prioritize having him back; however, it would depend on whether the World Cup-winning skipper would want to continue his tenure with the team, especially when teams like the Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Capitals, and Gujarat Titans have shown prior interest in the veteran. <br> <br>The BCCI has yet to declare how many retentions each team can make, and so MI needs to set their priorities straight. However, they also have a blockbuster batter and India?s recently announced T20 skipper, Suryakumar Yadav, in their roster. </p>

Though Pandya still has his chances, looking at his good insight into the captaincy and his participation in the Champions Trophy can also turn the tables for him if he has a probable great campaign at the Vijay Hazare Trophy for Baroda. </p>

<p><br>However, there remains a chance that Suryakumar Yadav can be a successful skipper with the Men in Blue, and then the Mumbai Indians might look to rope him in for a season as their stand-in skipper. So clearly, Hardik?s chances of retaining his IPL captaincy have also been largely threatened following his national disappointment.<br></p>

With Hardik Pandya's India captaincy snub, does he stand a chance to retain his position as the MI skipper?

<p>Indian team and Gujarat Titans star pace bowler Mohammed Shami is now practicing in the nets after ankle surgery. He is out of the Indian team after the 2023 ODI World Cup. There is speculation that he may return to the team in the Test series against Bangladesh.</p>



<p>Shami has been out of the cricket field for a long time due to ankle surgery. He was also out of IPL 2024 and the T20 World Cup 2024 held in USA and West Indies.</p>



<p>Shami has been playing for Gujarat Titans for the last two seasons, and in just two seasons, he has taken 48 wickets for the franchise. Shami is one of those players on whom no franchise trusts for a long time, he is dropped from the team despite consistently performing well for the franchise.</p>



<p>There is a mega auction of IPL in 2025, according to the rules, each franchise can retain four players in its team. In such a situation, after asking Mohammed Shami about his IPL-2025 retention in an interview, he gave such an answer.</p>



<p>?I don?t have any team in mind. I was not retained by Delhi Capitals. I took 60 wickets for the Punjab Kings, but they allowed me to leave, and I joined Gujarat. I have taken 48 scalps for them in just two seasons, and if they don?t retain me, I don?t care. I will give my best for the team who buy me in the auction. If Gujarat need performers, they will retain players, but if they want good faces, they can opt for models. I have a clear perspective in life. I want to give my best,? - Mohammed Shami</p>

Mohammed Shami said I don't think Gujarat Titans will retain me in IPL 2025

<p><span>India wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant is all set to go past MS Dhoni in the elite list of Indian players in Test cricket. The left-hander is just 6 sixes away from surpassing former keeper-batter in the most number of sixes for the national team in the history of the longest format of the game.</span></p>
<p><span>Rishabh Pant currently has 72 sixes in Test cricket in just 75 innings, which says a lot about his calibre as a player in the longest format of the game. MS Dhoni, on the other hand, has hit 78 sixes in the 144 innings that he has played for the team in the longest format of the game.</span></p>
<p><span>Virender Sehwag sits at the top of the list in the most number of sixes for the Indian team in Tests with 90 maximums in 178 innings. Current captain Rohit Sharma is second on the charts with 88 maximums to his name from 116 innings.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>

<p><span>Pant - 72* (75 innings)<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Rishabh Pant has been one of the finest batters in world cricket. The keeper-batter proved his prowess in the ongoing game against Australia, which is the fifth game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The India batter has tilted the game for his team in the second innings.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>While every other bat struggled to get going, Rishabh Pant oozed his class with the bat and dominated the opposition.

<p><span>Australia, who resumed at nine for one, didn't have a great start to day two as Marnus Labuschagne fell early.

<p><span>But it was Rishabh Pant (61) who slammed a half-century in a flash and took the game away as it allowed India to take the lead of over 120. At stumps on Day two, India was 141 for six with the lead of 145 runs and Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar at crease. </span></p>

<p>England's former captain Michael Vaughan believes that fierce-rivals India and Pakistan should play a Test-Match versu each other in Australia. He believes that if this happens, then Test Cricket will witness a great surge of growth and this match will also increase the excitement of the longest format of the game. </p>
<p>However, Michael Vaughan admits that this is not easy due to political reasons between India and Pakistan, but this option can be considered. Apart from this, if the ICC gets involved in this matter, then there are chances of things working out.</p>
<h2>"<strong>I want Pakistan and India to play a Test-Match versus each other on Australian Soil"</strong></h2>
<p>In an interview with the Times of India (TOI), Vaughan said, <strong>"I wish that both rivals Pakistan and India play Test-Matches versus each other on Australian soil. Both teams do square off against each other in the Asia Cup and the ICC Tournaments, but both of them haven't faced each other in red ball Cricket since a really long time. I want both of them face each other in the longest format of the game, but the only problem is that they cannot face each other in their home conditions. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Therefore, as a solution to the problem, they can play Test Cricket versus each other in Australia or England. If this happens, it will be one of the biggest moments of the game and they will surely receive support in huge numbers."</strong></p>
<p><strong>"Pakistan &amp; India playing Test-Matches versus each other is going to prove to be absolutely phenomenal for the longest format of the game. Although, I am aware about the amount of politics involved in this matter, I believe both the teams can consider playing Tests at the Adelaide Oval, Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) or the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG)," Vaughan added. </strong></p>
<p>It's worth noting that the Indian and Pakistani teams have not faced each other in the Test format for almost 18 years. The last Test series between the two teams was played in 2007-08, but since then the two teams have not faced each other in Tests.</p>

<p><span>India captain Jasprit Bumrah has come under massive scanner for his antics during the ongoing fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The match between the teams is taking place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>In what has been a shocking development, India captain Jasprit Bumrah has been accused of using sandpaper during the ongoing match. Some of the Australian fans, as well as the media personnel, have charged the fast bowler with the allegations, and it has become a massive controversy.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>In a video that has gone viral on the internet, the sandpaper-like thing can be seen around Jasprit Bumrah. The India fast bowler can be seen getting troubled by something in their shoe, and as he decided to check upon that, there seemed to be a sandpaper-like thing.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>As Jasprit Bumrah removed his shoes, the sandpaper-like thing dropped out, and the fast bowler took that out and kept that in his hand. Since the video has gone viral, there has been a lot of buzz around social media, but so far, nothing official has come out from either of the teams or the match officials.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Jasprit Bumrah has been the hot soup in the Indian team in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The fast bowler is single-handedly carrying the bowling lineup of the team in the ongoing series and is making sure that he helps his team fight hard in the five-match Test series.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Jasprit Bumrah has been on fire with the ball in the ongoing game as well but he has found himself under some discomfort. The pacer felt back spasm during the second session and was seen leaving the Sydney Cricket Ground and going for the scans in the car.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>There is no clarity if Jasprit Bumrah will be taking over the charge of the team tomorrow or not. The fast bowler's availability will depend on how he feels on a Sunday morning. Although he might come to bat, there is no clarity if the pacer will come to bowl or not.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Bumrah so far has taken 32 wickets for India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The tally of 32 wickets is the most by an Indian bowler in Australia in the history of Test cricket.</span><span></span><span></span></p>
