With the IPL 2025 mega auction retention deadline coming on October 31, it's the time where all ten teams will be firming up their retention plans. Kolkata Knight Riders, the IPL 2024 winners, are also in the process of finalising their retention list. But sources have told IANS that the retention status of their title-winning captain Shreyas Iyer is lining on unsure currently, as other players like West Indies duo of Andre Russell and Sunil Narine, along with middle-order batter Rinku Singh, wrist-spinner Varun Chakaravarthy and uncapped fast-bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana, who recently got a call-up for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, are ahead in contention of being retained by the franchise. While Narine and Russell were at their all-round best as the franchise's stalwarts, Chakravarthy was a key figure in the spin-bowling department, picking up 21 wickets at an economy rate of 8.04. Those performances paved his way for being back into the Indian team for the T20Is aga...

Pakistan cricketer Ahmed Shehzad has fired shots at the Indian cricket team following its rare series loss at home to New Zealand. New Zealand on Saturday won the second Test in Pune by 113 runs to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, and handed India a first home series loss in nearly 12 years. While speaking on his YouTube channel, Shehzad hailed New Zealand for dominating India in their own backyard. He also labelled the Indian team as "paper tigers". "New Zealand have come to India and thrashed them as if they had the right to do so, beating them like kids and walking away. They've pulled a prank on India. People are now saying, 'Kagaz ke sher, aur ghar mein dher' (Paper tigers, crumbled at home)," Shehzad was quoted as saying on his YouTube channel. Shehzad suggested India got complacent because of the home factor, adding that Rohit Sharma and his men played like schoolboys. ➥ Check Out: Shubman Gill Gets Out At 90 As India Tak...

The Indian cricket team has already lost its ongoing home Test series to New Zealand. In the three-match affair, the Rohit Sharma-led side trails 0-2 against the visitors with a game to go. It also turned out to be India's first Test series loss on home soil in 12 years. Talks of India's dominance at home were put to rest by the Blackcaps, who fetched the best of the conditions on offer. While the hosts' defeat has put them under severe criticism, former South Africa captain and batter AB de Villiers has pointed out that there is nothing wrong with India. De Villiers, in fact, said that New Zealand's win is a result of the touring team's brilliance in adapting to the new conditions. The cricketing great also cited the example of Virat Kohli for the batter's impressive performance on South African soil to back his opinion. ➥ Also Read: India Squad For Border-Gavaskar Trophy "When you go to India, Indian players are the best players of spin, it is perceived t...

Legendary Indian cricketer and World Cup-winning skipper MS Dhoni expressed his admiration for a more attacking brand of Test cricket being played recently because of the team's mindset of not settling for draws. Dhoni was speaking at an event in Goa. Speaking at the event, Dhoni said as quoted by ESPNCricinfo that cricket has evolved a lot over the years. "You can give cricket any term that you want to, what we have seen is that cricket has evolved. The way people are playing cricket is very different. There was a time when in ODIs something was considered a safe score, now that score is not safe in T20s too," said Dhoni. "You give something a term, it becomes much more interesting because you start talking about it, you start relating to it but at the end of the day what is it? It's a way to play cricket. Some people want to play aggressive cricket, some people want to play authentic cricket. A lot of that depends on the kind of team you have got - whether they...

Mumbai Indians (MI) are the most successful side in Indian Premier League (IPL) history alongside CSK with five titles to their name. But MI has failed to win a title since 2020, qualifying for the playoffs just once in this period (2023). A lot happened in the MI set-up in the last edition of the IPL. All-rounder Hardik Pandya, after a successful two years as captain of Gujarat Titans, came back to MI as captain. Hardik replaced Rohit Sharma, who had won five titles for the Mumbai franchise in the past. Things didn’t look good in the MI camp last year.

Teams need to submit their retentions for the next season by 31st October and there are many match-winners in the MI squad and it’ll be interesting to see who they retain ahead of the mega auction. ➥ Check Out: All Sunriser...
