@ErikaMorris79 The 5.25 Cr is a season price negotiated, so his per match will be pro rated based on that, not just the playoffs. Also, it's higher than most partly because of reimbursing their county contract and penalty clauses.
João Félix going on loan should immediately cause some heads to roll internally. You cannot spend €57m on a player, hand them a 7-YEAR contract, and then send them on loan 6 months later because they aren't good enough. Where is the accountability?
He might be thinking it's the Carolina Panthers and not UNC, perhaps? 😂
Weird appointment and move for a coach of that stature, specially the way CFB is going with NIL, etc.
@cfcedithh Yeah, imagine winning the PL with Leicester and then competing with Bakayoko for a spot in the Carabao Cup team. KDH better but lets see! Can see loan move and moving to Everton kinda club in 2 years
Hangargekar, A Kulkarni going unsold is a failure on the part of @BCCI. With big auction every 3 years there is no incentive for teams to develop young players
Someday an under 21 IPL could be played parallely or during off season. This would make nurturing youngsters priority
@SAAdvantage I'd make Pant open, best position for him imo!
Starting 12 acc to me: Pant, Markram, Marsh, Pooran, Badoni, Miller, Samad, Shabaz, Avesh, Bishnoi, Mohsin/Akash, Mayank given the current squad.
@IndianMourinho They've gambled on Jurel at 6 and Shubham Dubey to come in as impact. I think they're a quality Indian spinner short, which forces them to play 2 OS Spinners.
DC can thank RCB for setting up such a solid XI the auctions so far.
If RCB would have pushed DC till 17-18 for KL (given they bid 23 for Venky Iyer), this team could have looked quite different! DC had to go for KL after missing on Shreyas/Pant.
#IPLAuction
Players to watch out for today in the #IPLAuction :
Nitish Rana, Bhuvi, Deepak Chahar, Washi, Krunal, Jacks, Jansen, Curran, Tim David, Allah Ghazanfar
15. PBKS spent the big bucks but secured the 2 best Indian bowlers (Arshdeep, Yuzi) along with a captain in Shreyas. Stoinis, Wadhera & Thakur are great pickups too! Need 2 Overseas starting players today.
#IPLAuction#IPLAuction2025
My thoughts on Day 1 of the #IPLAuction :
1. Prices seem quite inflated for Premium Indian talent but good to see Indians picking up most of the bag
2. Lots of talent still to come in this auction and not a lot of money going around
#IPLAuction2025
13. I think GT missed a trick not RTM'ing Miller but have a solid bowling attack with Rashid, Siraj, Krishna, Rabada. Need Middle Order Batting at #4/5. May see them in a bidding war with teams for Jacks
14. SRH have a solid team put together but with 5 Cr, backups will be tough
