Indian cricketer KL Rahul, who was recently released by the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), has expressed his interest in playing for a team with a lighter atmosphere like Chennai Super Kings (CSK) or Gujarat Titans (GT).

Delhi Capitals have released their long-time player and captain Rishabh Pant ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, leaving many fans and experts surprised. Despite Pant's impressive performance in the 2024 season, where he made a strong comeback and also gained the Indian team's trust across formats, the franchise decided not to retain him. This has opened up opportunities for other franchises, particularly RCB, who have a large budget and need a strong captain and wicket-keeper. Meanwhile, PBKS will also be a key bidder as they have the largest purse among all teams.
After missing the last season for fitness concerns, Jofra Archer is set to make a comeback in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The England pacer has an impressive IPL record and his potential return has sparked interest from Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings, both of whom are looking to rebuild their squads.

After being released from the Kolkata Knight Riders squad for the upcoming IPL 2025 mega auction, Shreyas Iyer delivered a stunning unbeaten 152 off 164 balls for Mumbai in their Ranji Trophy 2024-25 game against Odisha. With fellow batsman Siddhesh Lad also remaining unbeaten on 116, Iyer and Lad's partnership of 231* runs for the fourth wicket was a highlight of the day. This performance by Iyer has raised questions about his exclusion from the KKR squad, with mixed reports about his absence from a previous game.
Rishabh Pant's decision to not stay with the Delhi Capitals after eight seasons and three captaincy stints can be attributed to more than just money, according to PTI. The report states that the young wicket-keeper batsman was unhappy with the new coaching staff and GMR owners limiting his decision-making power for retentions. The Capitals have two Right-to-Match options remaining at the mega auction, but it seems unlikely that they will go after Pant. With several teams in need of a captain and wicket-keeper batter, the 2025 IPL mega auction promises to be action-packed with high-profile names like Pant, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul up for grabs.

The franchise is looking to build a strong team for the upcoming season, with the retention of these players expected to bring success on the field.
