On Friday, the Indian Premier League issued the highly-anticipated Player Auction List for the 2025 edition with a total of 574 players set to be featured in the Mega Auction in Saudi Arabia. Pant was not retained by Delhi Capitals while Shreyas Iyer and K.L Rahul were let go by Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants, respectively.
The report stated that the talks between the owners of the Delhi-based franchise and Pant have failed after it stretched for almost past few months.
India wicketkeeper and Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant was left surprised with his possible link-up with Royal Challengers Bengaluru ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction. However, Pant reacted strongly to the social media post and called it "fake news".
As the anticipation around the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 grows, veteran Australian spinner Nathan Lyon explained his strategy to tackle star wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant's attacking approach saying, "You got to be good to bowl against him".
Before the start of the Test series against India, Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe had praised at the way his side handled certain situations during their previous series against Pakistan.
Speaking about this former Indian cricketer, Gautam Gambhir, said that Pant needs to wait for his chance in white ball cricket. He said that he needs to focus on red ball cricket as of now.
Reacting to the opportunity of playing for the Delhi franchise, Mukesh expressed, "One of my friends called me and said congratulations. I asked him for what. And then he told me to tune in to the IPL Mini-Auction and watch the bidding.
Thanks to counter-attacking fifties by Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer, India managed to secure an 87-run lead over Bangladesh after being bowled out for 314 on day two of the second Test at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, on Friday.
Resuming day-2 at 19/0, Shubman Gill (14*) and KL Rahul (3*) were extremely conservative in the morning.
Bangladesh are now expecting some charisma from their star all rounder Shakib Al Hasan who’s still standing on the crease.
