Top franchises likely to bid big for Rishabh Pant in IPL auction

The exit of Rishabh Pant from Delhi Capitals ahead of 2025 IPL auction

Rishabh Pant’s journey with Delhi Capitals saw a significant turning point in 2021 when he assumed the captaincy in Shreyas Iyer’s absence. DC retained Pant as captain during the IPL 2022 mega auction, releasing Iyer, who subsequently joined KKR and led them the following year. Pant captained Delhi in IPL 2022 but missed the 2023 season as he recovered from several injuries that he sustained during an unfortunate car accident. After his recovery, Pant returned to lead the team in IPL 2024.

However, after IPL 2024, Delhi Capitals experienced major internal changes. Ricky Ponting, the head coach, moved to Punjab Kings, while Sourav Ganguly took a sabbatical following the GMR group’s takeover of team operations from JSW for the next two years. Speculation about Pant’s release began circulating after Ponting’s exit. Reports soon surfaced that while DC was willing to retain Rishabh Pant as a player, they wanted a new captain. Pant, however, was firm on retaining his leadership role. This misalignment led to his release, making him one of the hottest picks for the IPL 2025 mega auction.

Franchises likely to bid for Rishabh Pant in IPL auction

Punjab Kings

With the largest auction budget of Rs 110.5 crore, Punjab Kings have released their entire squad, barring uncapped players Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh. The team is keen on rebuilding from scratch and is likely to make a strong bid for Pant in the IPL auction. Moreover, PBKS is in need of a captaincy pick following the retirement of Shikhar Dhawan. Punjab’s new head coach, Ricky Ponting, who shares a successful history with Pant from their Delhi Capitals days, is expected to champion the effort to bring him into the fold.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

Royal Challengers Bangalore, armed with Rs 83 crore, has the second-highest budget for the IPL auction. With Dinesh Karthik no longer in their squad, they are in need of a wicketkeeper-batter, and Pant fits the bill perfectly. While RCB hasn’t retained Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli has expressed interest in reclaiming the captaincy, which could work as a middle ground for Pant. Even if not given the leadership, Pant may relish the chance to play under Kohli’s guidance.

Chennai Super Kings

Although Chennai Super Kings have a smaller auction purse of Rs 55 crore, they are rumoured to be considering Pant. Speculation arose after former CSK player Suresh Raina hinted at a possible connection between Pant and MS Dhoni. However, given Pant’s likely price tag of Rs 18–20 crore, CSK might find it challenging to compete financially in the IPL auction. Moreover, with Ruturaj Gaikwad only recently stepping into the captaincy role, CSK is unlikely to offer Pant the leadership position, leaving questions about whether they would prioritize signing him.

Accidental introduction to cricket

As a child, Dhoni was always into sports. He was a district-level badminton and football player. His football coach sent him to fill the position of a wicketkeeper on the school cricket team. He played well and soon bagged a permanent place in the group. This ignited his passion for cricket. Dhoni started focussing more on cricket after his 10th grade. He was very passionate about cricket and wanted to prove himself in this sport His father was not very fond of his son’s growing interest in cricket. He was of the view that there is no future in sports. However, Dhoni was clear-sighted about what he wanted for himself. He struggled against the rigid opposition from his father for prioritizing cricket over studies. But he was confident about chasing his dreams. So, going against his father’s wishes, Dhoni fulfilled his dreams instead. After that, he became a part of the Commando Cricket Club and an Under-16 championship. After this point, he pursued cricket seriously, but life had other plans for him. 

Breakthrough

The next match was his shot. Luck played in his favor the next time as he was selected for the Pakistan series.

His leadership is something that is celebrated across the country. Fans regard Dhoni as one of the greatest captains the team has seen. Despite his massive popularity, people knew him as a calm, cool, and composed persona. It must be because he has seen life getting hard and that aggression does not lead to rational decisions.

He has a collection of many expensive cars and bikes. Some of his luxurious cars are Ferrari 599 GTO, Audi Q7, SUV Hummer H2, Land Rover Freelander 2, and Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. Apart from this, Dhoni also has a collection of expensive bikes including Confederate Hellcat X132 and Superbike Kawasaki Ninja H2. On Aug. 15, 2020, Dhoni retired from all forms of International Cricket.MS Dhoni is also the Captain of Chennai Super Kings in IPL and has already won the trophy four times.

He is expected to play T20 cricket in 2023 too.

CSK vs RCB: IPL 2024 Season Opener Heats Up at Chepauk

The stage is set for a thrilling clash as defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) kick off their IPL 2024 campaign against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on March 22nd. The iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium, fondly known as Chepauk, will host this high-voltage encounter. Dhoni Steps Down, Gaikwad Takes the Helm In a surprise move, legendary skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni passed the captaincy baton to young opener Ruturaj Gaikwad. Gaikwad, a vital cog in CSK's batting lineup, will now lead the team that has dominated the IPL under Dhoni's leadership, winning five titles (2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, and 2023). Head-to-Head: A Chennai Fortress Historically, the balance of power tilts towards CSK in head-to-head battles. They boast 20 wins in 31 encounters against RCB, with just 10 losses and 1 no-result. Chepauk further strengthens CSK's position, with 46 wins and only 18 losses in IPL matches played there. Pitch and Weather: Spinners Delight, Clear Skies The Chepauk pitch is known for its assistance to spin bowlers. However, batters beware! Chasing scores can be tricky as the pitch tends to slow down in the second innings. Fortunately, the weather forecast predicts clear skies, ensuring an uninterrupted match. Tuning In: Where to Catch the Action The Star Sports Network will broadcast the much-anticipated clash live across India. JioCinema app and website will be streaming the match live for viewers who prefer to watch online. Players to Watch: A Mix of Experience and Rising Stars While MS Dhoni's presence behind the stumps remains a key factor for CSK, all eyes will be on Ruturaj Gaikwad in his new leadership role. Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, and the explosive Daryl Mitchell are other CSK players to look out for. RCB will rely on their batting firepower with Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell at the helm. Mohammad Siraj's pace attack and the swing of Lockie Ferguson could prove crucial in restricting the CSK batsmen. Will CSK continue their dominance at Chepauk? Can RCB spoil the party for the defending champions? The opening match of IPL 2024 promises an exciting battle. Read the full article

[ad_1] The 2024 IPL could be a defining one for defending champion Chennai Super Kings, as it could well be the last season for its talismanic captain, MS Dhoni. Going into the player auction, the five-time champion needed to strengthen only a few areas, and the management can be pleased with how things turned out in Dubai on Tuesday.A key area of focus was to find a replacement for the now-retired Ambati Rayudu, who made impactful performances in the last three title-winning campaigns (2018, 2021 & 2023).ALSO READ | CSK squad IPL 2024: Chennai Super Kings full list of players after auctionOn that front, the Super Kings scored a winner in all-rounder Daryl Mitchell and also snapped up a highly-rated 20-year-old uncapped player, Sameer Rizvi, by going full throttle for both of them.The team made full use of its purse of Rs 31.40 crore to pursue all-rounder Mitchell and get him for Rs. 14 crore. Mitchell had a tremendous World Cup in India and could fill Rayudu’s shoes in the middle-order. Meanwhile, Rizvi (Rs. 8.4 crore) scored 277 runs in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for Uttar Pradesh at a strike rate of nearly 140 with 18 sixes. The hard-hitting youngster also had a sensational UP T20 league, and if he can find his feet at the IPL level, the Yellow Brigade might have found a star for the future.These big buys were set up right at the start when the think-tank was able to strike bargain deals in scooping up New Zealand batting sensation Rachin Ravindra and Indian medium-pacer Shardul Thakur, who was with the outfit for four years, between 2018 and 2021. Thakur’s best years in the IPL have been while wearing the yellow jersey as a death-overs specialist and also adds depth to the batting line-up.ALSO READ | CSK Probable Playing XI IPL 2024: Chennai Super Kings squad compositionCoach Stephen Fleming later said Mitchell was one of his side’s key targets. “Daryl is a different type of player, but his performances over the last 18-24 months have warranted this price. He is an unfashionable player and often goes under the radar. With his ability to play spin, he is competitive and a handy bowler,” said Fleming.Another target was an overseas pacer as a cover for Matheesha Pathirana, and the Chennai side managed to get a good option in 28-year-old Bangladeshi left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman, who comes in with a lot of experience.With a winning core largely intact, CSK has come out of the auction stronger than before for its title defence campaign and probably for Dhoni’s swansong.

[ad_1] Considered to be among the best captains in Indian cricket history, MS Dhoni has led India to countless titles, winning the 2011 ODI World Cup, 2007 T20 World Cup, 2013 Champions Trophy and three Asian Cup (2010, 2016, 2018) trophies. MS Dhoni and Ambati Rayudu in action for CSK.(BCCI) Dhoni's captaincy legacy doesn't just end with Team India, and it also covers IPL, where he has led Chennai Super Kings to five league titles (2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, 2023) and two Champions Trophies (2011, 2014). The 42-year-old recently led CSK to the IPL 2023 title, defeating Gujarat Titans in the final. It turned out to be another usual final for Dhoni as CSK defeated Hardik Pandya's GT, who were the favourites and defending champions. So it wasn't a surprise for fans when Dhoni's former teammate Ambati Rayudu pointed out the India legend's legacy in cricket. Speaking on TRS Clips, he said, "I mean see everybody knows that he has brought the best out the best in so many players and across formats, even he has brought out the best in many foreigners that have played for CSK. I think he has it in him. I don't even know how to express it because he is either blessed or he has cultivated it over so many years of playing the sport. But many times I wonder why is he doing something which I wouldn't think is appropriate. But end of the day, results show that he was right and he's right 99.9 percent of the times, that shows he knows what he is doing and he has done it for such a long time and so successfully that I don't think anybody in Indian cricket are in a position to question his decisions now because he's been so successful." Opening up on Dhoni's treatment of foreigners in the IPL, he added, "Of course, it doesn't matter. He is our leader so I mean he doesn't shout just for the sake of shouting. But he will tell them subtly that this is what is expected types." Dhoni will return to action in IPL 2024, where he will once again captain CSK. Fans will be hoping for him to add another trophy to his cabinet. ABOUT THE AUTHOR At HT Sports Desk, passionate reporters work round the clock to provide detailed updates from the world of sports.
