What KKR going all out to buy Venkatesh Iyer says about IPL teams’ auction plan | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Over two days at Jeddah as the 10 franchises collectively spent Rs 639.15 crore to acquire 182 players, one aspect stood out. With the league now in its late teens, franchises through the course of every player auction are increasingly focussed on retaining their core group of players. There are left-field choices, but single-minded focus of teams to get the players of their choice stood-out. The Rs 23.75 crore they splashed on Venkatesh Iyer was the classic example. Having spent Rs 24.75 crore on Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc last year, it didn’t come as a surprise that KKR chose to spend big again. But it did come as a surprise that they splurged nearly half of their purse on Venkatesh, who can float in the batting order and bowl military medium pace.

IPL Auction 2025: Beyond a 17-year-old tournament witnessing a 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi become a crorepati and Ambala born Gurjapneet Singh who found a home at Tamil Nadu now donning the famous yellow jersey, the two-day IPL mega auctions saw teams tussle for the best talents and assemble a strong squad. In the past, franchises have come out of the auction table with plenty of unanswered questions and imbalanced squads. But at Jeddah they came up with well-laid plans and put together evenly matched squads on paper. The two most successful franchises with five titles each, they remained in total control, even as others scrambled around. Having retained their Indian core, Mumbai Indians as usual went big for an overseas pacer in Trent Boult and a new ball bowler in Deepak Chahar. For the rest, they relied on their scouting team, which helped them snap Ryan Rickelton and uncapped Kiwi Bevan-John Jacobs to lend lower-order firepower. In Will Jacks, they got their overseas top-order bat and finished another auction without going big on a spinner. Chennai …

Utter chaos as PBKS buy wrong player in IPL auction, auctioneer denies reversal | Cricket

If you are an uncapped player, landing an IPL deal is one of the biggest shots in the arm. When crores of rupees are spent on some of the biggest stars of international cricket in an IPL auction, all you want is any of the 10 teams to show interest in you. Seeing the paddle raised when your name is up for grabs in the auction is the stuff of dreams for any young cricketer. But not for Shashank Singh. Things may be a bit different for the Chattisgarh cricketer. Despite finding a bidder in the IPL 2024 auction, Shashank is unlikely to be on cloud nine. The reason? The side – Punjab Kings – which bought him in the auction in Dubai on Tuesday, did not want him to be a part of their squad. Then why did they bid for him?

Ambati Rayudu’s replacement missing: What CSK need to do at IPL 2023 auction | Cricket

Published by Webster

Defending champions Chennai Super Kings will enter IPL 2024 auction with one of the biggest purses of ₹31.4 crore. In fact, CSK are one of the only four franchises that have a budget of ₹30 crore or more heading up to the big day. Being a well-oiled unit, CSK don’t have too many voids to fill. 11 of the 19 guys they retained, are near automatic picks in the Playing XI. With six slots to fill – three of which are overseas buys – Chennai can splurge big to enhance their back-ups, which believe you me, could in turn give some stiff competition to Mumbai Indians in terms of star power and being the strongest franchise on paper. MS Dhoni will have a couple of areas to look into at the IPL 2024 auction(Agencies) The one name that immediately comes to mind, whose replacement CSK seek is Ben Stokes. But to be honest, they might actually give it a pass. CSK did well without Stokes, who was nursing a knee injury. In his absence, CSK …
