The IPL mega auction is all set to happen later this month with several top players set to go under the hammer. Mitchell Starc is the most expensive player in the history of IPL with KKR splashing Rs 24.75 crore for him in the auction ahead of the 2024 season. Who can break this record this time?
Mumbai Indians did well to retain much of their core group as they have kept Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auctions. However, they could not keep star wicket-keeper Ishan Kishan. They can't use RTM for Ishan. Check why.
Ruturaj Gaikwad will be leading the Indian A team for the Australia tour. The BCCI has named a 15-member squad for the tour with Ishan Kishan named in the squad.
"We have picked a very young team. Saurabh Tiwary, Shahbaz Nadeem and Varun Aaron had all retired after last season so we had to rethink our strategy. Ishan is capable of leading this young side and we're confident of doing well this Ranji season," chairman of Jharkhand's selection committee said.
Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss as Rest of India elected to field first in the Irani Cup 2024 clash against Ajinkya Rahane's Mumbai in Lucknow. Both Ishan Kishan and Dhurv Jurel managed to find a place in the playing XI for ROI with the latter donning the wicketkeeping gloves.
The BCCI announced India's highly-anticipated squad for the T20I series against Bangladesh on Sunday with Varun Chakravarthy returning to international cricket after a long period of time.
The majority of the players from the Test team are likely to be rested for the T20I series against Bangladesh starting on October 6, 2024. Ishan Kishan is likely to get a recall despite making a return to domestic cricket in the recent Duleep Trophy 2024.
After the ongoing Test series against Bangladesh, India will face the same team in the three-match T20I series starting on October 6. But with an eye on the Test season, the selectors are unlikely to pick the players who are in the Test team.
Alongside the first Test between India and Bangladesh in Chennai, domestic cricket is also in progress in the country in Anantapur. The third and final round of matches are currently being played in Duleep Trophy and India's Test hopefuls are not having a great time.
After scoring an impressive fifty in the first innings, India C captain Ruturaj Gaikwad scored 62 runs off 93 balls in the second innings against B to draw the Duleep Trophy 2024 second-round fixture in Anantapur on Sunday.
Shubman Gill, the vice-captain for the Sri Lanka T20 and ODI series, is likely to be rested for the upcoming T20 series against Bangladesh starting October 6 in Gwalior. Gill and several other Test players might not be considered for the assignment since it is sandwiched between two series.
Ishan Kishan smashed a blistering century on his first-class comeback in the Duleep Trophy 2024. Kishan now turned into a bowler during the India B vs India C game in the red-ball domestic tournament.
Ishan Kishan has announced his return to red-ball cricket and is expected to feature in other formats as well in this domestic season. He scored a stunning century in the Duleep Trophy on Thursday (September 12) and will have to be consistent enough to stake his claim in the Indian team again.
After failing to make an impact in the first round, India C captain Ruturaj Gaikwad scored an unbeaten 46 runs to show some glimpses of his red-ball cricket brilliance against India B on Day 1 of the Duleep Trophy round-two fixture in Anantpur on Thursday.
The second round of matches in Duleep Trophy got underway today in Anantapur with India A facing India D while India B and India C faced each other. After missing out due to injury in the first round, Ishan Kishan turned up for India C and smashed a century in a dominant show.
Ishan Kishan is currently at the NCA recovering from a groin injury he suffered during the Buchi Babu tournament. Kishan has been on the sidelines for the longest time for India and in domestic cricket and his return will be delayed as he was supposed to turn up for India D in the Duleep Trophy.
"Wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan has been ruled out of the first round of the Duleep Trophy due to a groin injury sustained during the ongoing All-India Buchi Babu Tournament. The BCCI Medical Team is closely monitoring his condition and working towards ensuring a swift recovery," the BCCI said.
Shreyas Iyer-led Team D is likely to miss wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan's services for the opening Duleep Trophy fixture against Team C in Ananthapur. Kishan, who recently played in the Buchi Babu tournament, has reportedly suffered an injury but might return in the second encounter.
12 teams are giving it their all in the ongoing Buchi Babu tournament, which was kicked off on August 15. The tournament features a few Indian stars also playing as they gear up for the domestic and Test season. An out-of-favour Indian star has smashed a century in the tournament.
Ishan Kishan made his Test debut for India against the West Indies at Windsor Park in Dominica in July 2023. The southpaw has only played two Tests for Team India and will be making his return to the red-ball format after a long time.
