The IPL Governing Council met with the IPL team owners to decide on the retentions ahead of the mega auction for the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Reportedly, KKR's co-owner Shah Rukh Khan had a heated argument with PBKS co-owner Ness Wadia.
"The confusion was due to 2 players of the same name being on the list. We are delighted to have him onboard and see him contribute to our success," Punjab Kings said in an official statement after the IPL auction 2024 on Tuesday.
Punjab Kings have underperformed since IPL's inception, reaching the final only once in 14 attempts.
IPL was on Tuesday suspended indefinitely after multiple COVID-19 cases were reported in its bio-bubble, ending a month-long relatively smooth run for cricket's most glamorous event in the middle of a raging pandemic.
Delhi, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Chennai have been shortlisted as potential venues but the BCCI is yet to take a final call on the matter.
Rahul has been in incredible form in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). He has so far scored 222 runs in three matches.
Wadia expressed his views after KXIP appealed against on-field umpire Nitin Menon's controversial 'short run' call at a crunch time of the game held on Sunday night in Dubai.
The CEOs and owners, most of whom are yet to reach UAE, are also allowed in the bio-bubble but any SOP violation will send them into a seven-day quarantine.
Irrespective of Vivo's future in the IPL, Wadia said there are enough sponsors to replace the Chinese company if such a need arises.
Wadia's comments came after IPL chairman Brijesh Patel confirmed that the T20 league will be held from September 19 to November 8.
KXIP co-owner Ness Wadia has called for severing ties with Chinese sponsors in the Indian Premier League.
The BCCI is looking at the September-October window for hosting the IPL, which has been postponed indefinitely due to the pandemic.
Ness Wadia, the co-owner of KXIP, has proposed that the Indian national anthem be played before every IPL game from the 2020 season.
It has been learnt that the newly-appointed head coach Anil Kumble was also keen to retain Ashwin, who captained the side in the previous two editions.
Ness Wadia, heir to the 283-year-old Wadia Group and co-owner of the Kings XI Punjab cricket team, sits on the boards of various group companies including low-cost airline GoAir.
Customs officials at New Chitose were alerted to Wadia by sniffer dogs and a search revealed that he had about 25grams of what appeared to be cannabis resin in his trouser pocket.
Bombay High Court dismissed molestation case filed by actress Preity Zinta against Ness Wadia in 2014 during an IPL match.
Ness Wadia and Preity Zinta were in a relationship for over five years.
The 11th season of the Indian Premier League will witness the King XI Punjab host another venue other than Mohali.
A total of 62 celebrities haven't paid for severity cover to Maharashtra Police. Actor Boman Irani, businessman Ness Wadia, designer Nikhil Advani, congress politician Kripashankar Singh, producer Boney Kapoor and actor Sonu Sood are among the list
