IPL retentions are the talk of the town in cricket right now. Such is the buzz that during the India vs New Zealand 2nd Test, the topic came up despite Team India losing six batters in one single session. When the talks about the Test match were done during post-lunch discussions, the experts were asked about their IPL 2025 mega auction predictions.
You’ll see him in Yellow
Rishabh Pant‘s tweet, “If I go to the auction, will I be sold or not, and for how much?” popped up on the screen. The former New Zealand fast bowler made his big prediction that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) would go bet the bank on Pant. MS Dhoni, their wicketkeeper since 2008, will most likely hang up his gloves after IPL 2025, and then Pant will take over.
“Chennai are going to break the bank for him. You’ll see him in Yellow. Dhoni will play this season probably, and after that, Pant will take over,” he said live on JioCinema.
Rishabh Pant’s relationship with DC
In July, few reports were claiming Pant could go to CSK and that Delhi Capitals was unhappy with their skippers. However, all things suggest that Pant is happy at DC and isn’t looking to make a franchise switch. Delhi’s management also seems to have no issues with him, despite some of the demands made during his meeting with the owners and impromptu posts online. However, if some turns of events do see him come to the auction floor, no doubt CSK would go for him.
