IPL Chairman CONFIRMS There Will be Mega Auction Ahead of 2025 Season
IPL Chairman Dhumal also said that all franchises can retain is upto 3-4 players, the rest they would have to purchase.
Mumbai: In what will come as a piece of good news for franchises and fans is that there is going to a mega-auction ahead of Indian Premier League 2025. Chairman of IPL has made this huge revelation. Dhumal also said that all franchises can retain is upto 3-4 players, the rest they would have to purchase.
“We will have the mega auction for sure, where you get to choose three-four players and then you have a new team. That makes it more interesting and that format will continue,” Arun Dhumal to Sportstar.
“Hopefully, the mega auction will be as big and as good as we have had earlier given newer talents coming in not from India and other countries. Teams like Afghanistan have also benefitted as they could showcase their talent,” he added.
The mega-auction is certainly going to help a lot of players, not just domestic stars – in some cases, even international cricketers. Also, the mega-auction will help fans get an understanding of whether MS Dhoni continues or not.
As the 17th edition of the IPL loomed closer, there was a palpable sense of excitement in the air. For Dhoni, it was more than just another tournament; it was a chance to bid farewell to the league that had been his home for over a decade. And as he prepared to take to the field for what could potentially be his last dance in the IPL, the people of Chennai stood firmly behind their captain, ready to cheer him on every step of the way.
Meanwhile, IPL 2024 starts in less than two weeks from now. In the opener defending champions Chennai Super Kings take on Royal Challengers Bangalore. The match takes place on March 22 at the iconic MA. Chinnaswamy stadium.
