Colourful all-rounder Hardik Pandya is likely to be sent back into the IPL auction pool by Mumbai Indians as the five-time champions are more or less sanguine about the players who are in their retention list for the 2022 season.
On Monday, Team India got off to a winning start in their new kits as they defeated England by seven wickets in their opening T20 World Cup warm-up game.
BCCI has already made it clear that IPL 2022 will be a 10-team contest instead of the current eight-team affair and a mega auction is all set to take place before the start of the season.
After making a remarkable journey from club cricket to international cricket in little over 24 months, the first bowler to take a hat-trick on his T20 International debut is looking to learn from the best in his maiden IPL outing.
The trio, who will play the remainder of the Indian Premier League that starts on September 19, was part of the Indian Test squad in England.
Jasprit Bumrah will have to squeeze every ounce of energy from his already overworked body while Ajinkya Rahane will hope to get one final chance when India take on England in the 5th Test.
Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah had moved up a place to 9th in the latest ICC Test Rankings.
While the 27-year-old Bumrah claimed his 100th scalp in his 24th Test that ended with an Indian win on Monday, Kapil took his 100th wicket in his 25th Test in 1980 against Pakistan when he was 21.
Shardul hit two half-centuries (57 and 60) as he helped his team in both innings, not only with the bat but also with the ball.
Bumrah's response came when he was asked if the news of Head Coach Ravi Shastri and other support staff members testing positive in the middle of the Test match affected them in any way.
Till the 61st over, England were coasting along at 141/2 but Bumrah took the ball and ran through the middle-order, picking the wickets of Ollie Pope and Jonny Bairstow.
Bumrah achieved the feat on the final afternoon of the fourth Test against England at the Kennington Oval in London.
Bumrah, who has been exceptional with his fast bowling against England, took nine wickets in the first Test.
Skipper Virat Kohli made 50 off 96 balls while Shardul saved India the blushes with a sensational 57 off 36 balls, taking the team's first innings total close to 200 in the third session.
While India registered a memorable 151-run win at the home of cricket to go 1-0 up in the five-Test series, players of both teams were seen exchanging verbal volleys.
England had India on the ropes at the end of the fourth day but the visitors ran riot with an 89-run unbeaten ninth-wicket partnership between Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, who scored a half-century.
Bumrah bowled a 10-ball over mostly comprising bouncers and one of them hit Anderson on the helmet.
The former India pacer lavished praise on seamer Jasprit Bumrah for his all-round show in India's win over England in the Lord's Test.
Sridhar revealed that Anderson was angry because Bumrah was bowling at him with a relatively quicker speed than the others.
"Bumrah is a competitive fast bowler but wouldn't want to intentionally hurt anyone," said Sridhar during a chat on R Ashwin's Youtube channel.
