Posted on August 30, 2024August 30, 2024 by [email protected]

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 big auction could be full of surprises, with a few franchise stalwarts expected to transfer bases. A lot of attention is focused on Rohit Sharma, whose future with the Mumbai Indians (MI) is questionable.

While there is no indication that the five-time IPL champions will release Rohit, pundits and fans have been debating the possibility. MI appointed Hardik Pandya as captain for IPL 2024, after Rohit, who has guided the franchise to five titles. This move was met with widespread outrage from supporters. According to reports, the Indian captain was dissatisfied with the team’s performance.

As the blockbuster auction is likely to take place ahead of the IPL 2025, rumors over Rohit departing Mumbai has spread throughout the cricket community. However, Ravichandran Ashwin believes that the great Mumbai batter would remain at MI.

“It’s not wrong to think like Rohit.”I do not want any headaches. I was a captain for India. I’ve captained Mumbai several times. Even if I’m not a captain, I’m excited to visit Mumbai. It would be great if I could play for Mumbai. I’m sure most players are like this. After a certain point, money becomes irrelevant to some of those players. That’s the point,” Ashwin explained on his YouTube account.

How did Rohit Sharma and MI fare in the IPL 2024?

Rohit enjoyed the fifth most prolific run-scoring season in his long IPL career. The right-handed batsman made 417 runs, the most in an IPL season since 2016. He scored a century and fifty, with the highest score of 105*. He averaged 32.08 and had a stellar strike rate of 150 this season.

While Rohit’s stats were good in IPL 2024, MI had a terrible campaign under Pandya’s leadership, finishing bottom on the points table with only four victories from 14 games. MI management is well-known for its unwavering determination to succeed. They will stop at nothing to construct a powerful team for the IPL 2025. However, it remains uncertain whether Rohit will play a role in their redemption story.

Dawid Malan retired from international cricket.

Posted on August 28, 2024 by [email protected]

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed Dawid Malan retirement from international cricket on Wednesday (August 28). He finished with 1,892 runs in T20Is (62 matches), 1,450 in ODIs (30 games), and 1,074 in Tests (22 matches). He is only the second English batsman, after Jos Buttler, to strike a century in all three formats of international cricket.

Malan, a late bloomer, lit up the stage in his maiden game – a T20I against South Africa in 2017 – with 78 runs off 44 deliveries. He made his Test debut shortly after, but his performances dwindled. However, in a 4-0 loss to Australia in 2017-18, he got his sole Test century at the WACA in Perth.

Malan’s heroics with the bat in T20Is propelled him to prominence for England. In 2020, he rose to the top of the ICC Men’s T20I Rankings, being crowned No. 1. A few months later, in 2021, the left-hander became the fastest to 1,000 runs in the format, doing so in only 24 innings. He was also a member of the T20 World Cup winning squad in 2022.

According to the Times, the 37-year-old was dissatisfied with his Test match results, having not returned to the Test squad since the fifth Ashes Test in Hobart in 2022, but he was ecstatic with his limited-overs performances. “When I was growing up, test cricket was the pinnacle. I played well at times, but not consistently enough, which disappointed me because I thought I was a better player. Then then, I exceeded all of my expectations in white-ball formats.”

Dawid Malan

Malan thanked his former captain, Eoin Morgan, for believing in him and supporting him on the international stage. “Eoin was superb at both shutting out and silencing the noise. If things were written or uttered, he would openly support me. He’d tell me, ‘If there was anything wrong with the way you’re playing, I’d be the first to tell you.”

Malan’s international career comes to an end. After he last played for England against Pakistan in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup in November 2023.
