With both teams boasting some of the best players in the world, their matches are always closely contested, and their rivalry has produced some of the most memorable moments in the IPL. As we look ahead to the upcoming season, fans can expect another thrilling chapter in the KKR and Punjab rivalry in the IPL. Here’s a look at the Top Player Battles to watch out for in this IPL clash between PBKS and KKR : KL Rahul vs Pat Cummins IPL 2021 PBKS vs KKR Player Battle – KL Rahul vs Pat Cummins Punjab skipper KL Rahul won the orange cap in the last season. In this season also, he is performing consistently, but then also his team’s aggregate performance is not up to the mark. The only concern with Rahul’s batting, when the team was losing despite him performing well, was his conservative play. Pat Cummins will be challenging him in the match against KKR. Despite his expensive price, Cummins has not been able to prove his performance in bowling yet. He is not getting wickets according to his high status. His bowling is also not as economical as it should be. He is getting smashed for sixes by many players. For us, the winner will be KL Rahul in this player battle. Andre Russell vs Mohammad Shami IPL 2021 PBKS vs KKR Player Battle – Andre Russell vs Mohammad Shami Andre Russell, one of the most destructive hitter in IPL. Everyone is aware of power hitting skills of De Rus. In the match against CSK also, he has announced his arrival by his quick half century. Although, he was not able to win the match for his team, but he definitely have a hard fight. He will be facing the Indian fast bowler, Mohammad Shami, who has the ability to bowl quick. He must be confident of performing well having bowled brilliantly in the last few games.  Shami will surely look to test Russell with the short ball. Shami can also try his lethal yorker against the West Indian to catch him off-guard. For us, the winner will be Andre Russell in this player battle. Chris Gayle vs Varun Chakravarthy IPL 2021 PBKS vs KKR Player Battle – Chris Gayle vs Varun Chakravarthy Chris Gayle, the most entertaining and hard hitting batsman in the history of IPL. Gayle holds the record of highest individual score in an IPL innings. However he has aged a little bit more but his dedication to play is still at its peak. He is not showing any signs of slowing down. KKR will definitely use spinner Varun Chakravarthy to create some troubles for the PBKS batsman. Varun has the ability to take wickets with his slow and spin bowling and has tricked many big batsmen with his bowling. He can hold Gayle at a low score. For us, the winner will be Varun Chakravarthy in this player battle. Shubman Gill vs Arshdeep Singh IPL 2021 PBKS vs KKR Player Battle -Shubman Gill vs Arshdeep Singh It is clearly visible that Shubman Gill is struggling to score runs for KKR. One of the reasons behind the poor performance of KKR is failure of its opening pair and especially that of Gill. He has not scored a single good knock in IPL 2021 till now. He will be challenged by Arshdeep Singh in the match against PBKS. Shubman Gill and Arshdeep Singh were both part of Indian team for U-19 World Cup. Unlike Gill, the medium pacer has a good season up till now. He is bowling well and KL Rahul is also putting trust on him. It will be a worthy watching clash if they will face each other in the match. For us, the winner will be Arshdeep Singh in this player battle.

[ad_1] Scene from IPL Mini Auction 2024 (Image: iplt20.com) / Lionel Messi with the PSG jersey (Image: PSG) The IPL 2025 Mega Auction is around the corner, and the Indian media fraternity and fans are going bonkers about it. Alongside the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the buzz regarding the auction is palpable. Millions will be spent in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on November 24 and 25, and lives will be transformed. Top cricketers, Indians and overseas, uncapped and capped – all will go under the hammer and the franchise owners will empty their purses trying to pick the players of their choice. A certain uncapped player might fetch a huge sum while some sure bets might fetch less. The auction dynamics are hard to predict. However, there is an adverse side to this billion-dollar gala. This article strictly tries to critically analyse two types of player dealings – the IPL mega auctions and the football transfer window. When players play for a franchise or club, they build a relationship with all the team stakeholders. Venkatesh Iyer, in his interview with RevSportz, spoke of how attached to the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) franchise he was, and how he would love to be back with the team even though they didn’t retain him. Venky Mysore, the KKR CEO, also reflected on the same issue, that such mega auctions hamper fan loyalty. A certain player who has served a franchise is now uncertain whether he’ll be a part of that side for the upcoming season. For instance, Rishabh Pant is one player for whom franchises are expected to break the bank in the upcoming auction. Punjab Kings, with the maximum purse, will have the financial edge over others. They might go all guns blazing to rope in the wicketkeeper-batter and might succeed. This is not to predict or analyse their auction strategy, but to point out that the players don’t get to choose their clubs. This is not the case when it comes to football transfers. Players’ name tags going under the hammer in the IPL Mini Auctions 2024 (Image: iplt20.com) Take a scenario where a player is unhappy with the current team. The player can request for a loan or a transfer. In the new transfer window, the player might be sold or loaned out with mutual agreements involving all parties. The IPL mega auction is a spectacle but the system raises questions about player satisfaction and fan loyalty, as players have little control over their destinations and longstanding relationships with franchises often end abruptly. Contrasting this, football’s transfer system allows for mutual agreements between players, clubs, and agents, providing greater flexibility and honouring individual preferences. For instance, Lionel Messi’s move to Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona in 2021 was facilitated by mutual understanding given the club’s financial constraints, while Cristiano Ronaldo’s €100 million transfer to Juventus in 2018 respected his desire for a new challenge. Similarly, Philippe Coutinho’s loan move to Bayern Munich from Barcelona in 2019 allowed all parties to benefit, while giving the player a chance to revive his career. Neymar’s world-record €222 million transfer to PSG in 2017 reflected his ambition to step out of Messi’s shadow, while Oscar’s €60 million move from Chelsea to Shanghai SIPG highlighted how financial incentives drive decisions in emerging markets. Brazil’s Oscar after his move to Shanghai Port (Image: AFC) Such flexibility ensures that players’ ambitions align with the financial and strategic goals of clubs, creating narratives that resonate with fans. In contrast, the IPL’s auction dynamics disrupt player-fan connections. For a player to have a healthy connection with a franchise takes a lot of toil – it’s a long journey. Now, going by the current auction scenarios, franchises have to make a priority list of retentions and leave out certain players, who they may not be able to buy back at the auction. The player who wants to stay with his current side wouldn’t have a chance to negotiate terms. Even if the player’s plans don’t align with the team’s, there’s nothing much he can do.

While the IPL auction is integral to maintaining competitive balance, adopting elements of the football transfer system could address some shortcomings. Allowing players more agency or introducing trade windows could help franchises retain iconic players while ensuring competitive fairness. The reality though is that the IPL auction was never modelled on football transfers. Lalit Modi, the league’s creator, wanted to recreate the glitz and glamour of draft day in US sport. But there, only newbies, fresh out of college or even high school, are part of the draft. The other players already in the system are traded based on their wishes, or they sign with a new franchise once they’re free agents. More from this author, click HERE In that sense, the IPL auction is neither here nor there. It’s not only for new players, and it’s hard to escape the notion that the priority is to create a TV spectacle every two or three years. Ultimately, both systems have merits and challenges. But football’s emphasis on mutual agreements provides a compelling model for fostering loyalty, enhancing player satisfaction, and maintaining fan engagement—something the IPL could consider as it evolves.

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.

The Most Wickets In IPL History

The 18th edition of India's largest cricketing event, the Indian Premier League (IPL), is scheduled to take place in 2025. Particularly in the bowling section, the rivalry has reached new heights as ten teams aim to win the coveted crown. Even though hitters frequently take center stage, bowlers in the game's shortest format still treasure the Purple Cap, which is given to the player who takes the most wickets in the tournament. Due to the IPL 2025 mega auction, the franchisees will be under more pressure for the next season. All eleven teams will try to restructure their rosters by adding new players and keeping some of their old players. One lingering uncertainty is the Impact Player rule, which caused debate in past seasons. Given how it can impact bowling plans, a number of teams and players have expressed worries about its possible continuation. 

The Sought-After Purple Caps and Its Seekers

Even though there were a lot of runs made throughout the 2024 season and new batting records were established every other day, teams know that bowlers are frequently the ones who assist them in winning games. Despite carrying a hefty price tag, pacers Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, who were the most expensive players in the last auction, generously returned the favor to their respective franchises. Promising bowlers like Mayank Yadav, Harshit Rana, and Vaibhav Arora rose to the top of the IPL 2024 rankings and might be serious candidates for the Purple Cap in the IPL 2025 schedule. They will, however, have fierce opposition from well-known players, such as Harshal Patel, the Purple Cap winner from the previous season, who took an outstanding 24 wickets. Besides, there will be more elite players competing in the Purple Cap race in 2025, making it more competitive.

Bowlers - A Necessary Asset For IPL Teams

The importance of bowlers in the IPL cannot be understated. Although each side has a strong batting order, the bowlers frequently tip the scales. Some teams in the IPL have struggled in the league due to a lack of bowling skills. However, the league's top teams, like the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), and Mumbai Indians (MI), have established their dominance thanks to their pool of excellent bowlers. Even the Gujarat Titans (GT), the IPL's 2022 debutants, used their bowling arsenal to win a significant number of games. This suggests that in order for teams to succeed in the lucrative competition, bowlers are essential.

Yuzvendra Chahal - The Best of The Best

While we are on the subject of successful bowlers in IPL, how can we forget about the phenomenal Yuzvendra Chahal who is currently the highest wicket-taker in the history of IPL. With 205 wickets in 160 games, Yuzvendra Chahal holds the record for most wickets in IPL ever. He achieved this position after dismissing Nitish Rana, the captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders, in the 56th match of IPL 2023 between the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and KKR. The leg-spinner, who played for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) from 2014 to 2021, took 139 wickets at an economy rate of 7.58 in 113 games. He played for RR in 2022 and took 27 wickets in 17 games, earning him the Purple Cap. When the wrist spinner held onto a return catch from MI's Mohammad Nabi in the 2024 Indian Premier League, he broke the 200-wicket milestone.

IPL Auction 2025: Shreyas Iyer left KKR because DC co-owners promised him captaincy

Delhi Capitals are set to roll back the clock as they look for a new captain from the next season of the Indian Premier League. The Capitals are set to bid high for Shreyas Iyer, who last played for the franchise in IPL 2021, and have promised him captaincy. Recently, Delhi Capitals did not include Rishabh Pant in their retention list. It means that the franchise will need to appoint a new…

Not KKR, Rahul Dravid Set To Seal His IPL Return With This Franchise

After successfully guiding the Indian team to T20 World Cup 2024 triumph as head coach, Rahul Dravid is reportedly gearing up for a new adventure in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Since his tenure as the head coach of the Indian team came to an end, Dravid has been linked with multiple franchises in the T20 league. Earlier, reports suggested that the batting great could decide to join Kolkata Knight Riders, especially as the franchise saw their mentor Gautam Gambhir leave the team to fill the void left by Dravid in the Indian team as head coach. But, it has now been reported that Dravid is in talks with his former IPL side Rajasthan Royals.

"Talks are going on between RR and Dravid, and an announcement in this regard is round the corner," Times of India quoted a source as saying.

As Dravid hunts for a new adventure, Gambhir has begun his stint as the Indian team's head coach. He flew to Sri Lanka with the other members of the Indian team ahead of the white-ball assignment. Before the team's departure, Gambhir did admit he has some big shoes to fill, considering what Dravid has done with the Indian team as head coach.

As India lifted the T20 World Cup 2024 title, beating South Africa in the final, Dravid did joke about being 'jobless' from the next month, and asked reporters if they had any offers. A man of the talent of Dravid, and the gold-worthy experience in Indian cricket, franchises are understandably lining up to rope him into the team.

Dravid didn't want to continue as the Indian team's head coach as he didn't want to spend 10 months a year travelling, keeping himself away from the family. But, the Indian Premier League is different. In the T20 league, Dravid only needs to be with the franchise for 2-3 months a year, a prospect he could fancy.

The former India captain has worked as a mentor and coach with IPL franchises in the past. Dravid was the coach of Delhi Daredevils franchise before leaving the job in 2017 over 'conflict of interest'. Since ending his IPL career, Dravid has worked as the coach of India's junior teams, including Under-19 and India A.

He was most recently working as the head of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru before taking up the India job in 2021.

Now linked with the Rajasthan Royals, it would be interesting to see on what capacity would the former India head coach work with the franchise.

Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Night Riders: Who Will Win Today’s IPL Cricket Match?

The excitement among cricket fans is at its highest point as the Mumbai Indians (MI) will try to make maximum runs against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in today's IPL cricket match. Both teams are ready to give their best and secure an important win. KKR wins to move to the 1st position and MI wins to move higher in the points table. You will understand some important factors that might affect the result of the match in this blog.

Rohit Sharma vs Sunil Narine in IPL Matches

One of the most amazing battles of the match will be between MI captain Rohit Sharma and KKR's ace spinner Sunil Narine. Narine has an interesting record against Rohit Sharma, as he took Rohit’s wicket nine times in T20 matches. Rohit, on the other hand, will be curious to handle Narine's spin and lead his team to victory.

Rohit Sharma is known for his amazing strokes and unique timing. He is popular as “Hit-Man” for the Mumbai Indians. However, when it comes to facing Sunil Narine, Rohit's journey has been a bit difficult. Narine's mystery spin has often troubled the stylish right-hander. His unique bowling style has proved to be tough for MI.

Cricket fans are waiting to see their battle once again in the IPL in the evening. The next match is a showdown for them at Wankhede Stadium. Let’s wait for today’s cricket match and make predictions after analyzing prediction tips from the experts.

In the Spotlight: KKR’s Venkatesh Iyer and MI’s Romario Shepherd

KKR's Venkatesh Iyer has been an amazing performer for his team, both with the bat and the ball. However, his form is not interesting this season, and he will be looking to make a strong impact in today's match. MI's Romario Shepherd is known for his pace and accuracy. He will be a key player for the Mumbai Indians. His performance with the ball could prove important in determining the result of the match.

Important Stats that Decide the Win of the Teams

Major statistics could play an important role in deciding the winner of today's match:

Sunil Narine has an amazing record against Rohit Sharma. He has taken the wicket of Rohit Sharma 9 times in T20 matches, that helped KKR beat MI.

Rohit Sharma's ability to handle left-arm spinners will be tested, as he has struggled against them this season.

Mumbai Indians have a powerful record against KKR at the Wankhede Stadium, as they have beaten KKR most of the time at this venue.

Pitch and Conditions at Wankhede Stadium

Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai sees dew in the evening. But it is not as visible as it has been in Chennai. Chasing runs are always a favorable option in Mumbai due to the lower visibility of dew. 26 out of 42 matches have been won by the team in the chase since IPL 2021 and 7 out of 11 matches since IPL 2023. Mumbai has an extremely humid temperature. This is the reason bowlers find it difficult to bowl better in the second innings.

Conclusion

Today's match promises to be an exciting encounter as both teams try to secure an important win. KKR holds the advantage with Sunil Narine's amazing record against Rohit Sharma. On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians will enter the stadium focusing on their strong performance at the Wankhede Stadium. It is a clash between the two strongest teams and cricket fans can expect an exciting and thrilling match in the evening.

[ad_1] Virat Kohli with RCB Teammates (PC: BCCI/X)   The 2025 IPL will be the 18th season of the tournament. It so happens that Virat Kohli’s shirt number is also 18. Just to add a bit more intrigue, Kohli could be back as Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s captain next year. Maybe the stars are perfectly aligning for Kohli to lead his team to their maiden IPL title? Leaving aside astrology, the bigger question is what are the pros and cons of Kohli returning as the skipper. There are certainly some merits to Kohli again taking over the leadership role. One of the key strengths of Kohli is he c an galvanise the side with his batting and sheer presence on the field. Not just that, the boisterous crowd at the Chinnaswamy is always in awe of Kohli. So, with Kohli back as the skipper, expect the fans to fervently support the franchise. After all, the fans are unofficially the 12th man of any side. A peek into how Kohli lifts the spirits of RCB could be noticed during the last season. They lost seven of their first eight games before charting a miraculous comeback and made it into the Eliminator Phase. Obviously, Kohli was part of the senior group, which would have also comprised Faf du Plessis, the incumbent captain, and Andy Flower, the current head coach. Kohli also became the Orange Cap Holder, aggregating 741 runs at an average of around 62. Around eight seasons ago, as the skipper of RCB, he had also powered the side to the final, only for the franchise to suffer a heartbreaking defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Even during that season, Kohli won the Orange Cap, having notched up 973 runs at an astonishing average of 81.08. Unfortunately,  RCB also have had to go through phases where they couldn’t stitch enough wins together. Over three seasons, they ended up eighth, sixth and eighth. In the subsequent two years, RCB showed some promise by reaching the playoffs. But every single time, it seemed as if there was a team better than them. RCB were also blamed for some questionable picks and releases, alongside a few tactical errors. One of them was releasing their leading wicket-taker, Yuzvendra Chahal, after the 2021 season.  It so happened that during Kohli’s last game as the RCB captain, against Kolkata Knight Riders, in 2021, we witnessed a curious decision: Daniel Christian was given the 15th over ahead of Shahbaz Ahmed, the left-arm spinner. Granted that the match-up of a left-arm spinner going up against a left-handed batter – Sunil Narine – didn’t exactly suit Shahbaz. However, on a quintessential turning track in Sharjah, logic indicated that spin was a better option than taking a punt on Christian. The all-rounder was duly smacked for three sixes in a single over by Narine. When Shakib Al Hasan jammed a yorker to steal a single and take KKR home, the cameras zoomed in on Kohli’s dejected face. In September that year, Kohli had announced that he was stepping down as RCB’s captain. So, at that moment, it looked like Kohli’s dream of hoisting the glittering silverware had been shattered. Time flies. Just over three years later, Kohli could very well take back the reins of captaincy. Maybe his dream is still burning bright.     The post Is Kohli’s RCB dream still burning bright? appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports. [ad_2] Source link
