[ad_1] Chennai Super Kings (PC: CSK/X) The team Things didn’t go to plan for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the 2024 IPL. They came into the tournament as the defending champions but failed to qualify for the playoffs. Injuries to key players played a part. Also, the team was going through a captaincy transition, with MS Dhoni handing over the reins to Ruturaj Gaikwad. After the tournament, this correspondent asked CSK chief executive Kasi Viswanathan about how the management reacted to the failure. He was never going to press the panic button. “We are not going to win every year,” Viswanathan had said. “We had several injuries. But we would be absolutely fine going ahead.” This is an out-and-out cricket franchise, totally aware of the highs and lows in sport. They don’t overreact. Ahead of the 2025 IPL mega auction, CSK had a clear retention strategy, and they managed to keep hold of their core group of cricketers, the biggest takeaway being retaining MS Dhoni as an uncapped player. The former captain remains the heartbeat of the franchise. Auction purse The five-time IPL champions have retained Gaikwad and Ravindra Jadeja for Rs 18 crore each, Matheesha Pathirana for Rs 13 crore, Shivam Dube for Rs 12 crore and Dhoni for Rs 4 crore. In the process, they have spent Rs 65 crore. They will go to the mega auction in Jeddah on November 24 and 25 with a purse of Rs 55 crore, out of a total of Rs 120 crore.

Given their trend-set, CSK are unlikely to go beyond Rs 15-16 crore even for a high-profile player. Also, keep an eye on whether CSK bid for James Anderson, the 42-year-old England fast-bowling legend, who has come to the auction with a base price of Rs 1.25 crore.

IPL 2025 Mega Auction Dates and Venue Announced by BCCI

IPL 2025 Auction Likely to be Held in Riyadh on November 24-25: The Indian Premier League (IPL) auction has always been a much-anticipated event, drawing global attention as teams battle to build the best squads. For the 2025 season, the excitement has reached new heights, with reports suggesting that the mega auction will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on November 24 and 25. Although the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has yet to officially confirm the location, sources close to the matter indicate that Riyadh is the likely host city.

Franchise Retention Strategies and Key Highlights

All ten IPL franchises have submitted their retention lists, offering glimpses into their team-building approaches for the 2025 season. As teams retained their core players while releasing others, several prominent names have been added to the auction pool, increasing the competition and adding excitement for fans.

Retention Highlights Across Franchises

The franchises have retained 46 players, with a total investment of ₹558.5 crore. Notably, 36 of these players are Indian, including 10 uncapped Indian stars. Here’s a breakdown of major retention decisions:

Mumbai Indians – With five IPL titles, Mumbai Indians have built a strong Indian core by retaining key players like Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Suryakumar Yadav. Tilak Varma, a promising young left-hander, also retained his place. Notably, Ishan Kishan, a talented youngster, was released, leaving MI with a ₹45 crore budget for the auction.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru – RCB has opted for a selective approach, retaining only three players: Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, and Yash Dayal. Kohli commands the highest retention fee at ₹21 crore, giving RCB the second-largest auction purse of ₹83 crore.

Punjab Kings – Surprising many, Punjab Kings chose not to retain any capped players, focusing instead on young talent. They retained only two players, Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh, and hold the largest auction budget at ₹110.5 crore.

Rajasthan Royals – Rajasthan Royals solidified their batting lineup with strategic retentions, although they still seek an additional opener. With the smallest purse of ₹41 crore, RR enters the auction with a precise plan to strengthen its roster.

Chennai Super Kings – MS Dhoni will once again grace the IPL, retained by CSK as an uncapped player. CSK’s strategy combines experience with fresh talent, retaining Dhoni, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, and Matheesha Pathirana.

Top Players Entering the Auction Pool

With several renowned players left out of the retention lists, the 2025 auction pool includes high-caliber talent. Here’s a look at some of the notable players available for auction:

Released Indian Captains

The release of Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant has left three experienced Indian captains in the auction pool. Franchises seeking strong leadership may vie for these players, adding an extra layer of excitement to the auction.

England Players in the Auction

Interestingly, no England players were retained by any franchise this season. Major players like Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Harry Brook, Phil Salt, and Will Jacks will be up for grabs. Their release reflects teams’ concerns about availability, as these players missed parts of the season due to international commitments.

Young and Uncapped Talents

This year’s auction also features a number of unproven Indian talents, with ten uncapped players retained by various teams. These young players offer affordable options and the potential to evolve into match-winners, making them valuable assets in the auction.

Leading the pack are captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, both retained for ₹18 crore each.

The iconic MS Dhoni, despite being an uncapped player, has also been retained for ₹4 crore, continuing to lead the team with his unmatched experience and leadership qualities. In addition to these stalwarts, young Sri Lankan pacer Matheesa Pathirana has been retained for ₹13 crore, owing to his impressive performances with the ball, especially in the death overs.

IPL 2024 TEAM STRATEGIES: HOW EACH TEAM PLANS TO WIN

1. Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

The Chennai Super Kings, led by the legendary MS Dhoni, are known for their consistency and calm approach under pressure. In 2024, CSK will likely continue to rely on their tried-and-tested formula of experienced players combined with youthful exuberance. The core strategy revolves around a strong batting lineup, with seasoned campaigners like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Moeen Ali, supported by the finishing prowess of Dhoni. In the bowling department, Deepak Chahar’s ability to swing the ball and the spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Mitchell Santner will be crucial. CSK's strategy will focus on building partnerships and using their spinners to control the middle overs.

2. Mumbai Indians (MI)

Mumbai Indians, the most successful franchise in IPL history, will once again bank on their star-studded lineup and depth in both batting and bowling. Captain Rohit Sharma will aim to lead from the front, while Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan will look to provide quick runs. The inclusion of overseas stars like Kieron Pollard and Tim David will add firepower to their middle order. MI’s pace attack, spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult, will be a key component of their strategy, focusing on early breakthroughs and effective death bowling. Their all-rounders, particularly Hardik Pandya, will play a significant role in balancing the team.

3. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)

With Virat Kohli stepping down as captain, RCB's strategy will undergo a subtle shift under the new leadership of Faf du Plessis. The batting order, featuring Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, and AB de Villiers, will aim to score aggressively, especially in the powerplay and death overs. RCB’s strategy will also involve utilizing their fast bowlers like Mohammed Siraj and Harshal Patel to exploit early breakthroughs and maintain pressure throughout the innings. Spin will be vital, with Wanindu Hasaranga expected to be a game-changer in the middle overs.

4. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

KKR, under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, will focus on a balanced approach with a mix of youth and experience. The batting lineup will revolve around the aggressive starts by Venkatesh Iyer and Nitish Rana, while the middle order will rely on Iyer’s stability and Andre Russell’s explosive hitting. KKR's strategy will heavily depend on their versatile bowling attack, featuring Pat Cummins' pace and Varun Chakravarthy's mystery spin. Their success will hinge on effective use of these bowlers to control the game's flow and restrict opposition scoring.

5. Delhi Capitals (DC)

The Delhi Capitals, led by Rishabh Pant, will aim to build on their recent successes. Their strategy will focus on a formidable top order featuring Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, and Pant himself. The batting depth, bolstered by all-rounders like Axar Patel, will be crucial. In bowling, the express pace of Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada will be key to their plans, with spinners like Ravichandran Ashwin providing control in the middle overs. DC will likely focus on maintaining a high run rate while deploying their fast bowlers to make early inroads into the opposition's batting lineup.

6. Punjab Kings (PBKS)

Punjab Kings, led by Shikhar Dhawan, will aim for aggressive batting strategies. With the likes of Mayank Agarwal, Jonny Bairstow, and Liam Livingstone, PBKS will look to set or chase high targets. Their bowling strategy will revolve around the pace of Arshdeep Singh and the spin of Rahul Chahar. The focus will be on exploiting powerplay overs with aggressive bowling and ensuring tight overs during the middle phase to build pressure.

7. Rajasthan Royals (RR)

Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals will adopt a strategy of leveraging their top-heavy batting lineup, featuring Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Samson himself. Their approach will focus on quick starts and maintaining a high scoring rate. In the bowling department, RR will rely on the experience of Trent Boult and the spin wizardry of Yuzvendra Chahal to take wickets at crucial junctures. Their all-rounders will provide the necessary balance to both innings.

8. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

SRH, under the leadership of Kane Williamson, will emphasize a strong bowling strategy. Their pace attack, featuring Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Umran Malik, will aim to dominate the powerplay and death overs. Spin options like Rashid Khan will be pivotal in controlling the middle overs. SRH’s batting strategy will focus on Williamson’s anchoring role, with power hitters like Nicholas Pooran providing the firepower towards the end.

9. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)

KL Rahul’s Lucknow Super Giants will aim to make a mark with a balanced squad. The strategy will revolve around Rahul and Quinton de Kock providing strong starts, while all-rounders like Marcus Stoinis and Krunal Pandya add depth. Their bowling will focus on pace spearheaded by Mark Wood and spin from Ravi Bishnoi. LSG will aim to be flexible, adapting their plans according to the match situation.

10. Gujarat Titans (GT)

Gujarat Titans, captained by Hardik Pandya, will focus on all-round performance. The strategy will include explosive batting from Shubman Gill and David Miller, while Hardik himself will be crucial in both batting and bowling. The Titans will rely on the pace of Mohammad Shami and the spin of Rashid Khan to control the game’s tempo. Versatility and depth in both departments will be their key to success.

The IPL 2024 season promises to be a showcase of strategic brilliance, with each team bringing its unique approach to the game. Whether it's leveraging star players, focusing on balanced squads, or employing innovative tactics, the franchises are leaving no stone unturned in their quest for the title. As the season unfolds, it will be fascinating to see which strategies pay off and lead their teams to IPL glory.

Jadeja's All-Round Performance Ends PBKS Streak: Cricaza and Top Cricket Betting Sites Witness KKR's Strong Win in IPL 2024

In a thrilling encounter, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) showcased their dominance in the IPL 2024 season, impressing both Cricaza and leading cricket betting platforms. The match saw KKR's ruthless opening duo, Sunil Narine and Jason Salt, play a pivotal role in securing victory against their opponents.

Ravindra Jadeja's exceptional all-round performance helped Chennai Super Kings (CSK) secure a 28-run win over Punjab Kings in Dharamshala, breaking the hosts' five-match winning streak against them. Jadeja's crucial acceleration with the bat and impactful bowling performance led to CSK posting a competitive total of 167/9 and restricting Punjab Kings to 139/9.

In the powerplay, CSK's Ruturaj Gaikwad and Daryl Mitchell laid a solid foundation, setting the stage for a competitive total. However, Punjab Kings' bowlers, led by Harshal Patel and Rahul Chahar, struck back in the middle overs, causing a mini-collapse in CSK's middle-order.

Jadeja's late flourish with the bat, supported by Shardul Thakur's cameo, propelled CSK to a respectable total. Despite a late fightback from Punjab Kings in the death overs, CSK's bowlers, especially Chahar, ensured victory for their team.

Cricaza and top cricket betting sites closely followed the match, witnessing KKR's dominant victory and CSK's clinical performance. The match showcased the unpredictable nature of T20 cricket and the impact of key players like Jadeja in shaping the outcome. As the IPL season progresses, Cricaza and leading cricket betting platforms continue to provide comprehensive coverage and engaging betting experiences for fans and bettors alike.

[ad_1] Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma for MI and MS Dhoni, Ruturaj Gaikwad for CSK (PC: X) They are the two most successful franchises in the IPL. Both Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians have won the title five times each, and as regards the retentions ahead of the 2025 mega auction, the tournament’s two biggest teams had clear-cut strategies. Unlike some other franchises, there was no late drama over certain players. Both CSK and MI management knew what they were doing. Chennai Super Kings Players retained: Ruturaj Gaikwad (Rs 18 crore), Ravindra Jadeja (Rs 18 crore), Matheesha Pathirana (Rs 13 crore), Shivam Dube (Rs 12 crore) and MS Dhoni (Rs 4 crore) What the retained players bring to the table: Stability, quality and a wealth of experience. The captaincy baton was passed from Dhoni to Gaikwad last season and by making the latter their top retention, CSK have given him a clear vote of confidence, a fallow 2024 notwithstanding. The biggest thing for the Chennai-based franchise is that Dhoni has decided to continue for one more season. The former CSK captain, the team’s guiding light, didn’t want to block a big amount of money to affect his franchise’s auction purse. The BCCI bringing back the uncapped player rule helped matters. As for Jadeja, apart from being a world-class all-rounder, he is ‘family’. Dube was in scintillating hitting form in the last IPL, while Pathirana is the team’s designated death bowler. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here MS Dhoni in action for CSK (PC: X) Disadvantages of letting go of some key players: Devon Conway couldn’t play the 2024 IPL due to a finger injury and it affected CSK’s performance. Not retaining Rachin Ravindra, who is in the form of his life, might hurt CSK as well. Mystery spinner Maheesh Theekshana isn’t part of the list either. CSK rely on spin-choke at Chepauk, and the Sri Lankan was an important cog in the wheel. Players CSK would like to buy back at the auction: Conway, Rachin and Theekshana for sure. Also, Sameer Rizvi and Deepak Chahar. Outside that, the franchise is likely to go hard for Washington Sundar. And it is learnt that Rishabh Pant is also on CSK’s radar. But they are going to the auction with a purse of Rs 55 crore. Mumbai Indians Players retained: Jasprit Bumrah (Rs 18 crore), Suryakumar Yadav (Rs 16.35 crore), Hardik Pandya (Rs 16.35 crore), Rohit Sharma (Rs 16.30 crore) and Tilak Verma (Rs 8 crore) What the retained players bring to the table: MI have managed to keep their band together. Last season was a period of ferment at the franchise, after Pandya replaced Rohit as captain. Issues have been taken care of and once again it’s a happy dressing-room. It is learnt that Mahela Jayawardene, who has returned as the team’s head coach, was of the view that Bumrah, Surya, Pandya and Rohit should get equal amounts. But Rohit felt that the current Indian T20 players deserve higher amounts. Mumbai Indians’ official post on their retentions (PC: MI/X) He has retired from T20Is, and accordingly, Bumrah, Surya and Pandya were made the first three retained players. By making Bumrah their top pick, MI have made a statement that the fast bowler is the jewel in the crown. Also, they have addressed the captaincy issue with authority by naming Pandya the skipper for the 2025 season. The MI management will take heart from the fact they have managed to retain the ‘fab four’. Disadvantages of letting go of some key players: MI might miss Ishan Kishan’s power-punch at the top and Tim David’s prowess as a finisher. Also, without Kishan, they will have to go for a good wicketkeeper. Players MI would like to buy back at the auction: Kishan and David would be high on the franchise’s list. Also, uncapped players like Naman Dhir, Nehal Wadhera and Ansul Kamboj. MI, however, have just Rs 45 crore remaining for auction.
