IPL auction: Rahul Tripathi hopes to make big Sunrisers move count

It has been a topsy- turvy ride for Rahul Tripathi. At one point while playing for Rajasthan Royals, he started wondering whether to continue playing cricket or not. It was very difficult for him to adjust to a role in the middle order for the franchise, as he used to open the innings when he was first picked by Rising Pune Supergiant. But last weekend was a lucrative one for the 30-year-old, a consistent run-maker in the Indian Premier League. Tripathi came into last weekend’s mega auction with a base price of Rs 40 lakh and was bought for Rs 8.50 crore by Sunrisers Hyderabad. “I was with Pune for the first year and did well. Then I came to Rajasthan Royals, and there I was given a different role where I batted in the middle order. It was new for me but it went well in the first year. ...

We were looking for left-armer pacers, glad it worked out: Zaheer Khan

Stressing that left-arm bowlers bring a different angle while having a go at the batters, former India pacer Zaheer Khan said that Mumbai Indians were indeed looking for such bowlers and got them at the recent IPL auction.

Meet ‘Narine’ of Punjab: Tennis-ball cricket in village to IPL via YouTube

OF ALL the fascinating paths to an IPL team, Ramesh Kumar’s story is a perfect fairytale for the social media age. His father repairs footwear, his mother is a bangle seller. And the 23-year-old was happy with the meagre prize money and small-time buzz of tennis-ball cricket in Punjab when he suddenly went viral on YouTube. The clip of him in action stirred an IPL cricketer who shared it with his coach — and in a blink, Ramesh’s life changed. Today, Ramesh, aka “Narine Jalalabadiya”, finds himself in Kolkata Knight Riders, picked for Rs 20 lakh at the IPL auction on Sunday. Just the climax awaits: a six off the final ball or a Super Over in which he bowls six different deliveries to win the Cup for his team. While “Narine” refers to West Indian mystery spinner and T20 star Sunil Narine ...

After they spent 13 crore on me, I actually wanted the bidding to stop: Deepak Chahar | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Pacer Deepak Chahar "actually wanted" Chennai Super Kings to stop bidding for him after it had hurtled past Rs 13 crore during the IPL auction as he was afraid that it may come in the way of building a strong team. Bought back by his old franchise for a staggering Rs 14 crore, making him the most expensive Indian bowler at an IPL auction, Chahar said he couldn't imagine' playing for any team apart from CSK. "I wanted to play for CSK because I haven't imagined myself playing in other colour than yellow," Chahar told Star Sports. "At one point, I thought it (the bid price) was too much. As a CSK player, I also want to build a good team. So after they spent 13 crore, I actually wanted the bidding to stop so I can go to CSK quickly and then we can buy some other players (with the...

Had I not been at home recovering from a fall, I wouldn’t have been at the IPL auction: Charu Sharma

Charu Sharma stepped in at the last minute to take charge of the IPL auction after auctioneer Hugh Edmeades collapsed a couple of hours into the event. Sharma, the veteran commentator and presenter, talks to Sriram Veera about how he went about conducting the big auction, his stint with Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2008 and the roles he has played in his varied career.

mumbai indians: Mumbai Indians always have short-term goal and long-term vision: Nita Ambani | Cricket News – Times of India

MUMBAI: Mumbai Indians "always have a short-term goal and a long-term vision", owner Nita Ambani said after the franchise splurged Rs 8 crore to buy Jofra Archer, a staggering amount given the pacer is not expected to be available for the 2022 season. Alongside the record five-time champions MI, bidding frantically for Archer on the second day of the mega auction were Rajasthan Royals, as well as Sunrisers Hyderabad, even as the English pacer recovers from surgery on his right elbow. It was obvious that the franchises were looking at the long-term, even if it meant playing without him in the upcoming edition of the lucrative league. "Mumbai Indians always have a short-term goal and a long-term vision. Some of the players that we buy are also meant for long-term vision," Nita said after ...

We wanted strong Indian core and we got it: Royals owner Badale

Rajasthan Royals succeeded in building a strong Indian core but failing to retain England pacer Jofra Archer, despite his unavailability for the upcoming season, was a disappointment for the IPL franchise, lead owner Manoj Badale said. Mumbai Indians, looking as a long term investment, bought Archer for Rs 8 crore at the IPL mega auction in Bengaluru on Sunday. Badale said his franchise approached the auction with a certain aim and largely got what they wanted. “Our priority this year was to build a strong Indian core, which we have done with the likes of Ashwin, Chahal, Karun, Saini, Devdutt, Prasidh along with Sanju and Yashasvi already retained,” Badale said in a media release.

IPL Auction 2022: Liam Livingstone’s career revival gets IPL money boost of Rs 11.50 crore | Cricket News – Times of India

When Lancashire were relegated under Liam Livingstone's captaincy back in 2018, the Englishman's cricket career threatened to wander into oblivion. Things were going exactly the opposite way a sports-person would want -- a broken thumb and a virtually barren run of 10 matches in the Championship. But an IPL contract worth as much as Rs 11.50 crore that the 28-year-old kittied on Sunday made him the most expensive overseas player of the 2022 auction. At the end of a forgettable 2018, Livingstone relinquished the Lancashire captaincy despite capping the season with a blistering hundred in the T20 Blast on the Finals Day. It was quite an anti-climax in many ways for Livingstone's time with Lancashire. He won the NatWest Blast trophy in his first season with the county team in 2015. However...

IPL Auction 2022: Big payday for Ishan Kishan and Deepak Chahar | Cricket News – Times of India

BENGALURU: Strategies of IPL franchises at an auction are about choices which can at times be shocking, tactics which can defy logic and heavy splurge which either pays or prove to be a dead investment. The 10 franchises spent Rs. 388.10 crore on 74 players on day 1 of the two-day IPL mega auction here on Saturday. The script of the top picks went mostly on expected lines with Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan, the cynosure among Indian players, ensuring a bidding war. Kishan was Mumbai Indian's first buy of the day and also the franchise’s most expensive in the tournament history. Kishan went for a jaw-dropping Rs 15.25 crore, making him the second most expensive Indian player at an auction after Yuvraj Singh (16 crore).

delhi capitals: After SRH snub, David Warner looks to start afresh at where it all began in IPL | Cricket News – Times of India

BENGALURU: Australia's swashbuckling opener David Warner is delighted to start afresh in the IPL at Delhi Capitals months after a bitter parting with Sunrisers Hyderabad. It was, in fact, a win-win situation for both Warner and the JSW and GMR co-owned franchise. As the 2022 IPL mega auction day progressed, the DC franchise's co-owner Parth Jindal found it increasingly difficult to believe that he has acquired the services of a "legend" at Rs 6.25 crore. As far as Warner is concerned, his relation with SRH turned sour after the star batter was sacked as captain midway through the 2021 season and eventually dropped from the playing XI. Warner, who started his IPL journey with the Delhi franchise, became the first buy of the mega auction for the Capitals. Expressing his excitement at join...

CSK, MI auction mantra: Love is letting go, buying them back

The maxim ‘if you love someone let them go, if they come back, they are yours’ – erroneously attributed to Richard Bach, the writer of cosmic mush, but whose origin is unknown was the abiding mantra in the 2022 IPL auction. With a twist: If they are yours, you buy them back. It was set by the tournament’s two most successful franchises, Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians. Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore, too, were on the same cosmic page. Five-time champions MI forked out Rs 15.25 crore for Ishan Kishan, making him the second most expensive Indian player in the history of IPL auction. The dashing wicketkeeper-batsman would earn a higher salary than Jasprit Bumrah, retained for Rs 12 crore. Four-time champions CSK spent Rs 14 crore for Deepak Chahar, making him ...
