Ahead of the 2025 IPL mega auction, the IPL Governing Council has announced new retention rules that could see veteran players like MS Dhoni and Mohit Sharma retained as uncapped players. These rules, which consider players uncapped if they haven’t represented India in any format for five years, open up opportunities for experienced players to continue their IPL careers.
Gujarat Titans’ Mohit Sharma had a nightmarish outing against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL), conceding a record-breaking 73 runs in just four overs. This unwanted feat makes him the most expensive bowler in IPL history, surpassing Basil Thampi’s tally of 70 runs in 2018. Despite his reputation for economical bowling, Sharma’s off-day proved costly for his team, with Delhi plundering 97 runs in their last five overs. Delhi’s captain, Rishabh Pant, was particularly severe against Sharma, smashing him for seven sixes and three fours.
