<p>The BCCI held the much-awaited meeting with several IPL owners at the sight of an IPL 2025 mega auction on the 31st of July. The meeting was held on the fourth floor of the BCCI headquarters in the Wankhede Stadium. It has been gathered from BCCI sources that team owners like <strong>Shah Rukh Khan, Kavya Maran, Ness Wadia, Kiran Kumar Gandhi, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parth_Jindal">Parth Jindal</a>, Sanjiv Goenka, Rupa Gurunath, Manoj Badale, and Prathmesh Mishra.</strong> Some, like the Ambanis, have taken part in the debacle through video conference. <br> <br>Only as the debate remains on a major change in ownership for the Gujarat Titans has the franchise owners been able to participate in the meeting. The internal source of Cricbuzz has reported that the meeting was not very polite on its own, as there has been a heated exchange of words between KKR owner Shah Rukh Khan and Punjab Kings owner Ness Wadia. </p>

<p><br>The two owners of the IPL teams argued over the requirement of a mega-auction. Reportedly, both SRK and SRH owner Kavya Maran were against the mega-auction to be held so quickly. The two teams wanted to hold onto their high-performing sides, and Maran even said it is tough to keep re-investing in players, as she mentioned how SRH has nurtured Abhishek Sharma, who has now grown to be a mature and responsible cricketer who is consistent with his performance. <br> <br>Maran simply stated that it takes time to mature younger players, and when it's time to harvest them, one can?t simply let them go due to the unnecessary urge for mega-auctions. However, to the contrary, Delhi Capitals owner Parth Jindal opposed the idea of not having a mega-auction. </p>

He also portrayed his dislike for the idea of an impact player, as he felt that though some youngsters are handed chances, cricket is still all about an XI vs. XI game. <br> <br>Kavya Maran, on the other hand, proposed several changes to the rules of the IPL, and the two major changes proposed were the ban on overseas players who fail to report after being picked and, secondly, the increase of retentions, or RTMs, to be used on overseas players. <br> <br>Maran claimed that at least six players should be allowed to be retained. It could either be all 6 retentions, or 6 RTMs, or even 4 retentions and 2 RTMs, and so on. She agreed that several times players often want to go to the auction thinking that they are not given the price they deserve on being retained. </p>

</figure>



<p><br>If all were retentions, the teams would offer lucrative side contracts to their players; however, the RTM gives a clear insight to the players on what their market value stands. Maran, the lady boss from the SRH camp, stated that even the retired players should not be treated as uncapped and hence be retained, though they can have a much higher value if let to the auction, through which she indicated on ex-India skipper MS Dhoni. </p>

</figure>



<p><br>Kavya Maran and the SRH management seemed a bit upset over the ex-Lankan skipper Wanindu Hasaranga as he pulled out of the IPL 2024, despite being bought at the auction by SRH. She added her team only wants mini-auctions, and the focus would be on a basic team structure that is built with great toil. They have asked the BCCI to take strict action or even impose a ban on overseas players who withdraw their participation after being bought, without any sustainable reason like an injury. <br> <br>She also insisted the BCCI not decide on how much the retained players should be paid; the salary deducted for pre-season retentions should be a net amount meant for the overall number of players. This should be left at the discretion of the franchises as to how they will distribute the amount among the players based on their calibre. <br> <br>With so much offered, the BCCI proposed to the owners that they would take all suggestions and proposals to the IPL governing council, and after reaching the desired conclusion, they would come back to the franchise teams with the decisions made.<br></p>

<p>The IPL retention rules have seen a major change ahead of the IPL mega-auction, which has been much anticipated ahead of the IPL. The newly made retention rules have allowed up to five direct retentions, along with having a Right To Match card, to retain a player during the auction. <br> <br>Also, there remain no restrictions over the number of retentions of overseas players for every franchise. The IPL purse has seen a huge rise in the auction money amount, as INR 120 crores will be the set auction purse amount. <br> <br>Reports from Sportstar confirmed that IPL authorities have now brought a change in the IPL rules, as they would look to differ from the practice of reducing only the amount of designated kitty from the IPL purse. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/sportstarweb/status/1848725242623234075
</div></figure>



<p><br>Instead of reducing these lesser amounts, if a player?s retention amount surpasses the designated price slot, then the equal amount will from now onwards be reduced from the total amount. <br> <br>As a piece of example, previously in the IPL, if likely the highest slot for a player retention would range at 15 crores, then any likely player retained for even INR 17 crores would see only the lesser amount of 15 crores deducted from the purse. As of now, the new rule suggests otherwise. SRH has hinted at retaining their three players, Klaasen, Cummins, and Abhishek, for INR 55 crores, which exceeds the retention slab amount of 43 crores; as a result, they will face a deduction of this huge 55 crore amount from the auction purse. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/SRH-possible-retentions-min-1-1024x768.png" alt="" class="wp-image-148839" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">SRH and MI might face the biggest deduction from the purse amount ahead of the mega-auction (Image Credit: X.com)</figcaption></figure>



<p><br>The new rule would add up to the Match Retention rule as well, which would result in the Indian cricketers looking to retrieve much bigger amounts than the anticipated slots for the franchises. </p>

The Mumbai Indians management has hinted at retaining their big four, which would be a big blow to their auction purse; hence, they would look to reach out for an agreement with the quartet. <br> <br>Again, the likes of the Punjab Kings or Gujarat Titans might enter the auction with purses over a whopping amount of INR 100 crore, as these teams are reportedly to retain uncapped players for the Punjab Kings and Shubman Gill alone for the Titans.<br></p>

<p>Since Washington Sundar starred for India in the T20I series? after the retirement of legendary all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, he has made quite an impact under several difficult circumstances. Reports suggest teams like Mumbai Indians, CSK and Gujarat Titans are eyeing him for the mega-auction. <br> <br>Sundar, though young, has been an eminent part of Indian domestic cricket and has several standout records across all formats of the game. Sundar recently, after his dominating second-class hundred of 159 runs, was called up for the Indian team. <br> <br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Sundar">Washington Sundar</a> has also been a long part of the IPL, as Sundar in the recent game against New Zealand went on to secure his best-ever international performance with 11 wickets in the game. <br> <br>With Sundar nearing 50 international T20I wickets, several IPL franchises have shown a keen interest in hiring him into their side as SRH is not likely to retain him for the upcoming season.  </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The top 3 franchises who might target Washington Sundar in the IPL mega-auction</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gujarat Titans </h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Shubi-Gill-GT-1024x719.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-149082" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Shubman Gill - Likely retention for Gujarat Titans (Image: Adda247)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The Gujarat Titans are reportedly only looking to retain the likes of their skipper and star batter Shubman Gill, while Rashid Khan?s retention also remains questionable, and nothing has been confirmed for either of these claims. <br> <br>However, something that seems imminent is that the Titans would be in the quest to reinforce their squad and hence would look for crucial players of Indian origin who can turn the fortunes for the champions from the 2022 season.  </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Chennai Super Kings</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Jadeja-in-CSK-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-149083" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ravindra Jadeja the most likely CSK retention (Image Credit: X.com)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The CSK side is often known for featuring the likes of India?s best-ever spinner produced in the IPL, Ravi Ashwin. Washington Sundar is also not very different from the former, with his excellence being on par. <br> <br>Sundar has also had a good hand in batting, he can also score quick runs with the bat and can be very helpful on the Chepauk track, which is very handy for off-spinners. Only having Jadeja as a spinner, they would be in the quest for another such bowler.  </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mumbai Indians </h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Hardik-Pandya-MI.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-149084" style="width:693px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Hardik Pandya - Will he continue as MI skipper (Image Credit: News18)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The Mumbai Indians are the most successful franchise in the history of the game, as the Hardik Pandya-led side have been troubled by their lack of spin bowlers in the middle-phase of the game. Also, the overseas batters do not find the pace of Pandya or anyone else to be threatening in the middle overs. <br> <br>Mohammad Nabi could not be very handy, while another Indian addition will be crucial to the team, as Sundar can be an asset for MI, so that he can provide further depth to their batting order, which is often favored by Mahela Jayawardene and the Mumbai management. </p>

<p>RCB have had an immense legacy in the history of the IPL; though they have not been able to secure a position as title winners, they are among the teams with the highest fanbases in the Indian Premier League. <br> <br>The Royal Challengers Bangalore have retained the second-fewest players and are hence contained with a whopping second-highest purse in the mega-auction. RCB have retained the likes of veteran <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virat_Kohli">Virat Kohli</a> for a huge INR 21 crore, Rajat Patidar for INR 11 crore, and lastly, uncapped Yash Dayal for INR 5 crore. <br> <br>Entering the mega-auction with a huge purse amount of INR 83 crore, RCB will look to rebuild a squad having let go of their core squad. Now RCB veteran AB de Villiers picked a set of four players who will be vital from the team?s point of view.  </p>

<p>The Rajasthan Royals have parted ways with their lead spinner and the highest wicket-taker in the IPL. Yuzi Chahal, a former RCB veteran, went on to achieve his peak in his career with the Royal Challengers. <br> <br>The leggie often relishes his spells at the Chinnaswamy despite the ground dimensions being in favour of big hitters. It is one of India?s best six-hit arenas, and Chahal can be an asset to his side if back with the Challengers. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="kagiso-rabada">Kagiso Rabada</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/11/Rabada-New-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-149288" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Protea veteran Rabada (Image Credit: ESPNcricinfo)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Veteran Protea pacer Rabada has also had a scintillating record in the Indian Premier League and will also be, in a true sense, a very high-value player in the mega-auction. <br> <br>Rabada's pace will hand RCB the first unique pacer in the shortest format, which traced the second-best-ever RCB pacer since <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Steyn">Dale Steyn</a> last played for the franchise. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="bhuvneshwar-kumar">Bhuvneshwar Kumar</h3>



<p>Ace Sunrisers pacer, who has had a long legacy of a decade with the franchise, went on to feature for them since 2013, the first season played by the Sunrisers Hyderabad. <br> <br>For the first time, Bhuvi comes into the auction, and a player of his calibre will remain one of the finest auction bids in the season. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="ravichandran-ashwin">Ravichandran Ashwin</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/11/Ravi-Ashwin-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-149289" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">(Image Credit: Sportstar - The Hindu )</figcaption></figure>



<p>The major Southpaw will be vital as a spin bowler and an all-rounder as well when Ashwin can come in to bat under pressure situations. <br> <br>Ashwin is expected to return to the South teams, with the likes of CSK and RCB both in need of a spinner of Ashwin?s calibre and experience.</p>

<p>Pacers are having a day out here at Jeddah on the second day of the much anticipated IPL auction, as after several among batters and all-rounders went unsold, the pacers are making the banks of the franchises shaken up. <br><br>First of all, Marco Jansen, the lanky pace bowling all-rounder from the Proteas, goes for the biggest bid of the day from the first session, with the Punjab Kings showing immense interest in the left-arm seamer.</p>

<p><br>Followed by a short break, the teams now seemed too determined, with the likes of Rajasthan Royals, Gujarat Titans, Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, and RCB all looking forward to decking up their pace bowling set. <br><br>India?s one of the most anticipated pacers, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, also the greatest ever Indian in the history of the IPL, gets rewarded for his consistency, as RCB bring him in for a whopping INR 10.75 crore, the only double-digit bid for the day.</p>

IPL 2025 Auction Updates: Every Franchise Purse Left After the Completion of the Marquee Set 2

<p><strong>ENGLAND Tour of India 2025: </strong>After the conclusion of the iconic Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25, Team India is set to host England for a white-ball series. The first home assignment of 2025 for India will feature five T20Is and three ODIs. </p>
<p>India’s cricketing fortunes took a tumble in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with a 3-1 series defeat to Australia. After four years of Indian dominance, the Aussies finally broke through, reclaiming the trophy in emphatic style.</p>
<p>A lackluster performance from India’s batting lineup, coupled with a struggling skipper Rohit Sharma, left much to be desired. Jasprit Bumrah stood tall as the lone warrior in the bowling department, but it wasn’t enough to turn the tide.</p>
<p>Now, as 2025 kicks off, India has a golden opportunity to turn things around. The upcoming home series against England in January couldn’t have come at a better time. With the ICC Champions Trophy also on the horizon later this year, it’s crucial for India’s star players to regain their form and confidence. This England tour isn’t just another bilateral series; it’s a stepping stone to redemption and preparation for the global stage.</p>
<p>Looking back at the history between these two sides in the white-ball format, India holds a slight edge. Out of 107 ODIs, India has emerged victorious 58 times, while England has won 44. In T20Is, the battle is even closer, with India winning 13 of the 24 matches and England taking 11. With such a competitive rivalry, fans can expect fireworks as India aims to make a strong statement ahead of the Champions Trophy.</p>

<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>
<h2><strong>Most sixes for India in Test Cricket:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></strong></h2>
<p><span>Sehwag - 90 (178 innings)</span></p>
<p><span>Rohit - 88 (116 innings)</span></p>
<p><span>Dhoni - 78 (144 innings)</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. He played the attacking brand of cricket and put the Australian bowlers under pressure in what was a tough pitch to bat.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<h2><strong><span class="Apple-converted-space">India made a strong comeback on Day two of the ongoing fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25</span></strong></h2>
<p><span>Coming to the match, India made a strong comeback on Day two of the ongoing fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. They were right on the money with the bat and ball at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney on Saturday.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Australia, who resumed at nine for one, didn't have a great start to day two as Marnus Labuschagne fell early. Sam Konstas (23) and Steve Smith (33) tried to bring Australia back with their innings but their partnership could last only 20 runs.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>India kept taking wickets at regular wickets, but debutant Beau Webster (57)  slammed a half-century, and a vital hand from Alex Carey (21:36b, 4x4) took Australia to 181, four runs behind India.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>India had a solid start to their second innings as  Yashasvi Jaiswal (22) and KL Rahul (13) added 42 runs for the opening stand. But after that, Australia made a strong comeback and picked wickets at regular intervals to reduce India to 78 for four.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<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>

India, leading by 145 runs at the end of Day 2, has lost six wickets, leaving them in a tough spot. The outcome of the match could depend on whether India can stretch their lead further on Day 3. If they manage to add another 200 runs, they'll have a chance to secure victory, but it will require strong performances from their remaining batsmen.</p>
<p><strong>Results of the IND vs AUS Test Series (Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25)</strong><br>Australia has taken the lead in this series with two wins out of the five matches played. On the other hand, India has managed to secure one victory, with one match ending in a draw, adding to the overall unpredictability of the series.</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>
