The inaugural edition of the Women's IPL is set to kick off on early 2023. The much-awaited mega event will be held in India right before the men's IPL. While there is over a two-month window for the men's version, the Women's IPL is reportedly set to have a 15-day window.&nbsp;

As per a report in Cricbuzz, the first-ever season of the Women's IPL will get underway on March 07 and will conclude on March 22. In addition, the report stated that it will be a five-team event -- with major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Bengaluru to be the venues --&nbsp;for which a whopping&nbsp;160-170 Indian players and 30-40 overseas cricketers will be given by the selectors for consideration.&nbsp;

The new IPL chairman Arun Dhumal expects the maiden Women's IPL season to be a huge hit and mentioned that the purpose of the tournament is to let the game reach a newer set of fans and encourage girls to pick up the sport.&nbsp;In November, Dhumal was quoted as saying by the NDTV, "Fans should make it to the stadium in large numbers whether we have the WIPL in rural areas or main city centres. We will evaluate that and take a call soon." He added, "We are working on making it one of the best women's cricket tournament in the world. What we did in the IPL, we want to do something similar with WIPL."

Current Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has high hopes from the inaugural edition and revealed how it will feel Indian cricket. She told Star Sports, "When they (domestic players) are playing for the Indian team, they will not face any extra pressure, because right now, the players that are selected from the domestic teams, sometimes I can see that they are blank, they are not able to understand how to change their game plan."

“To cut that gap, the tournament will play a major role. So, in the coming years, with the girls who play in the IPL, we will definitely see some major changes in their performances," Harmanpreet further asserted.

"I`m looking forward to this new journey because it`s something I see myself doing after my playing days are&nbsp;fully over. I enjoy working with bowlers and it`s a role I`m excited about. From player to coach, I don`t think I have to adjust much because while I`m playing, I always work with bowlers and try to come up with plans and ideas on how to have that one step ahead of the batsmen."

"The only difference is I will no longer be standing at mid-on or mid-off! I never thought I would be the leading wicket-taker in the history of IPL. But I`m just happy to be a part of IPL history!" said Bravo in an official statement. 
 
Bravo had played in the tournament since its inception in 2008. He ends his IPL playing career as the leading wicket-taker of the competition with 183 scalps from 161 matches, averaging 23.82 and at an economy rate of 8.38. 
 
He has also scored 1560 runs at a strike rate of 129.57, playing key parts in many victories for the Super Kings with his hard-hitting batting. Bravo will be stepping in as Chennai`s bowling coach with Lakshmipathy Balaji is taking a break for one year due to personal commitments. Balaji, the former India pacer, will be available for the Super Kings Academy.

Complete list of players retained by all ten teams ahead of IPL 2023 mini-auction

On Tuesday (November 15), all ten IPL teams shared their list of retained as well as released players before the IPL 2023 mini-auction. Speaking about the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the Yellow Army have released some big names but managed to retain their core players, including all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.&nbsp;

Jadeja, who captained CSK in the first half of IPL 2022, has also been retained by the four-time winners despite a lot of things being said and written about his equation with the team management.&nbsp;The 33-year-old shared a message of reassurance for the&nbsp;CSK fans all across the globe with his latest tweet. He wrote, "Everything is fine" along with&nbsp;a picture of himself bowing to captain&nbsp;Dhoni. The post has gone viral in no time and has also shunned all rift rumours between him and the CSK team management, which has been a major talking point since IPL 2022.

'Everything is fine': Ravindra Jadeja rubbishes rift rumours with MS Dhoni-led CSK after being retained

Gujarat Titans stunned the favourites last season to script history by lifting their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title in their debut season in the league. The Titans have retained the majority of their title-winning squad from last season and won't be looking at a major overhaul at the upcoming IPL 2023 mini-auction.

The reigning IPL champions released only six players as they finalised their retention list ahead of the deadline on Tuesday (November 15). Titans have parted ways with England opener Jason Roy, Dominic Drakes, Varun Aaron, and Gurkeerat Singh.

Meanwhile, Lockie Ferguson and Rahmanullah Gurbaz were two players traded by them during the trading window ahead of the retention deadline. The Titans have retained a total of 18 players, including captain Hardik Pandya and their superstars like Rashid Khan, Shubman Gill, and David Miller among others.

Rajasthan Royals (RR), the IPL 2022 runners-up, have retained their core players ahead of the IPL 2023 mini auction, set to be held on December 23. While sharing their list of retained and released players, the one-time winners have retained superstars such as captain Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult and some promising Indian talents but have let go of as many as five players from the released list (comprising nine names overall).

The likes of&nbsp;Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham,&nbsp;Rassie van der Dussen are some known international names who have been released after not having a consistent run in the IPL 2022 edition. They will be in need of some quality all-rounders in the forthcoming mini auction and some handy backups.&nbsp;

For now, RR have a well-oiled bowling line-up and some handy batters but will need the likes of Devdutt Padikkal and Riyan Parag to deliver so that the pressure doesn't fall up on Yashasvi Jaiswal, Samson and Buttler.

Rishabh Pant's DC release Shardul Thakur, Tim Seifert, retain core players ahead of IPL 2023 auction

The MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have retained all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja ahead of IPL 2023. Before the mini-auction, on December 23, all ten IPL teams released their list of retained and released players. Among the released players, CSK management has let go of Dwayne Bravo, Robin Uthappa (who retired early this year), Chris Jordan, and the likes.

Releasing Bravo and Chris Jordan came as a surprise for many. Given IPL 2023 is set to see the return of the home-and-away format, CSK have retained a number of spin-bowling options (Maheesh Theekshana, Moeen, Jadeja, Mitchell Santner, etc.) whereas many of their superstar batters have also held on to their spots, such as Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu. They also have a lot of all-rounders including Moeen, Shivam Dube, Deepak Chahar, Moeen, Jadeja, Santner, Dwaine Pretorius, etc.

Here's what CSK CEO Kasi viswanathan said after the release of the list of their&nbsp;retained and retained players:

IPL 2023 Retention: 2016 winners SRH release skipper Kane Williamson, Nicholas Pooran

West Indies legend Kieron Pollard announced his retirement from the Indian Premier League (IPL), hours ahead of the retention deadline on Tuesday (November 15). Pollard is all set to return to Mumbai Indians next season in a different role as he will serve as the batting coach for the franchise in IPL 2023.

One of the greatest servants of the franchise over the years, Pollard joined Mumbai Indians in 2010 and went on to become one of the legends in the IPL. He played an instrumental role in Mumbai Indians' all five title-winning campaigns under captain Rohit Sharma and has been one of the most consistent performers for the franchise.

The former West Indies skipper spent 12 seasons with Mumbai Indians amassing 3412 runs and picking up 69 wickets in 189 matches for the five-time champions. He also captained the team in regular skipper Rohit's absence on a few occasions and was part of the leadership group at the franchise.

"This is not an emotional goodbye to MI, however, as I have agreed to take up the role of batting coach in the IPL as well as play with MI Emirates. This next chapter of my career is genuinely exciting and allows me to transition myself too from playing to coaching," Pollard said in his retirement note.

Kieron Pollard announces retirement from IPL, set to become Mumbai Indians' batting coach next season

Former Australia captain Michael Clarke has slammed England all-rounder Moeen Ali for his recent comments criticising the 'horrible' scheduling in international cricket. Ali called out the tight schedule after England defeated Pakistan in the final to win the T20 World Cup 2022 title on Sunday (November 13).

England are already gearing up for their next international assignment in less than a week after playing the T20 World Cup 2022 final as they will take on Australia in a three-match ODI series starting from Thursday (November 17). England players have a break of just three days before they return to action once again post the recently-concluded World Cup.

Calling out the packed schedule, Ali said it becomes difficult for the players to give their hundred percent in every game if they have to play so frequently with no time for rest and recovery.&nbsp;

"Having a game in three days' time, it's horrible. But it's better than two days' time. If it had rained on Sunday, it would have been two days (if the reserve day came into play)," Ali said after England's T20 World Cup triumph.

"As players, we're kind of getting used to it now. But to give 100 percent all the time is difficult when you're playing every two, three days," he added.

Moeen further pointed out how it was the same situation after England had won the ODI World Cup in 2019 as the team had little time to celebrate with their next assignment lined up shortly after the tournament. The England star said it's a shame that they don't have enough time to celebrate their T20 World Cup victory.

"Those kind of things are a shame. As a group we want to enjoy and celebrate and have that [time] because you put so much into it. It's not just while the tournament is going on, there's the pre-tournament, the build-up and all that," said Moeen.

The former Aussie skipper pointed out its the players' choice on whether they want to play franchise cricket or not and they could use the time for rest and recovery rather than plying their trade in domestic T20 leagues.

"If it was playing in the T20 World Cup and then the next day get on a plane to depart for the IPL, I don’t think you’d hear anybody whinge.

"Players can’t complain about the international schedule when they’re taking opportunity to play domestic cricket as well for franchises for money when you can have that six or eight weeks off. Then you’d be as fresh as a daisy. I’ve obviously found that very hard," said Clarke.

IPL retention day: From released players, live streaming to telecast - All you need to know

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) continue to make moves in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) trading window as they have now reportedly roped in Indian all-rounder Shardul Thakur from Delhi Capitals (DC) ahead of the IPL 2023 mini-auction. KKR had earlier traded New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson and Rahmanullah Gurbaz from Gujarat Titans.

As per a report in ESPNCricinfo, Kolkata Knight Riders have traded Shardul from Delhi Capitals in an all-cash deal. Shardul was the most expensive fast bowler in the Delhi Capitals squad after being bought for a huge sum of Rs 10.75 crore (INR 107.5 million) at the mega auction last year.

Delhi Capitals trade their most expensive pacer Shardul Thakur to KKR ahead of IPL 2023 - Report

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have made their first move in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) trading window as they have traded New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson and Afghanistan wicket-keeper batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz from Gujarat Titans (GT) ahead of the mini-auction next month.

Earlier there were reports that KKR were in talks with the Titans to sign two of their players. The trade was confirmed by the Indian Premier League on Sunday (November 13). Ferguson was earlier part of the KKR squad before being released and bought by the Gujarat Titans ahead of IPL 2022.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan star Gurbaz was roped in by the Titans as a replacement for injured Jason Roy last season. The Titans had the choice to retain him and let go of Roy but they have instead parted ways with the Afghanistan cricketer, who will now down the purple and gold next season.

Delhi Capitals (DC) are reportedly set to release as many as five players ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 mini-auction. The Capitals failed to qualify for the playoffs last season despite assembling a star-studded squad featuring some of the best players from around the globe.

India's pace all-rounder Shardul Thakur was one of their top&nbsp;buys at the auction ahead of IPL 2022 as they spent a whopping Rs 10.75 crore (INR 107.5 million) to secure his services. However, Sharul failed to live up to the expectations as he managed only 15 wickets in 14 games and 120 runs with the bat.

While he was among the wickets for his team, the Indian pacer was quite expensive and conceded at an economy rate of nearly ten. He is among the five players who are likely to be released by the Capitals ahead of the mini-auction which is set to take place before the start of the 2023 season.

Apart from Shardul, Indian wicket-keeper batter KS Bharat, New Zealand keeper-batter Tim Seifert, Mandeep Singh, and Ashwin Habbar are the other four players set to be released by the Rishabh Pant-led side, as per news agency PTI.&nbsp;

"Shardul is a premium all-rounder but his price tag was an issue. The others who are set to be released are Hebbar, Mandeep, Seifert, and Bharat," an IPL source was quoted as saying by PTI.

Delhi Capitals had an average campaign in IPL 2022 as they finished fifth on the points table after managing seven wins and as many defeats in 14 games under Pant's captaincy. They will be hoping to strengthen their squad and paper the cracks in their squad with the money freed from the release of the five players.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has witnessed stupendous growth ever since its inception in 2008 and has transformed into one of the best sporting leagues in the world. Featuring some of the best cricketers from across the globe, IPL remains the benchmark when it comes to franchise cricket leagues across the globe.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been continuously working to improve the standards in the league to provide the fans with a better viewing experience. The Indian cricket board earned a whopping Rs 48,390 crore (US$6.2 billion) earlier this year from the tournament's broadcast deal for the next five years.

To cater to its audience and broadcasters, the IPL is set to expand further in the next five years. The number of matches is expected to go up to 94 per season with the BCCI also planning to finalise the schedule in advance to ensure all cricket boards can plan their calendar accordingly.

IPL's newly-appointed chairman Arun Dhumal said the board is looking to introduce various innovations to further enhance the league's reputation in the upcoming years.&nbsp;

"We are definitely looking at various innovations that can be brought to make it more fan-friendly. For those who are watching it on TV and those who are experiencing at the stadium, we want them to have a better experience," Dhumal was quoted as saying by PTI.

"If we can make the IPL schedule well in advance, people from all around the world can plan their travel accordingly. It should be a value-for-money experience for the fans," he added.

The BCCI president confirmed that the number of teams which was increased to ten this year, is expected to remain the same in the next five-year cycle, however, the number of matches per season will rise. IPL 2022 consisted of a total of 74 matches - 70 league games and 4 playoff matches. However, the number of matches is likely to rise by 20 to 94 by the fifth year.

"Teams will stay at 10 only. If you increase that, it becomes difficult to have the tournament in one go. We are looking at 74 games to begin with for the first two seasons, then 84 and if things permit maybe 94 in the fifth year of the media rights cycle, that itself would make it a long enough event," said Dhumal.

"We can't compare ourselves to football and other sporting leagues around the world as the requirement in cricket is totally different. You can't play on the same pitches for six months," he explained.

Currently, all male players contracted by the Indian cricket board are not allowed to take part in any T20 league overseas to maintain their exclusivity to the IPL. Despite growing calls over allowing Indian players to participate in foreign leagues, Dhumal said BCCI has no intention to change the rule anytime soon.

"This in principle is the decision of BCCI that our contracted players can't go and play for other leagues. As it is there is so much of cricket happening. Keeping in mind their overall well-being that decision has been taken. As of now, we stick to that decision," said Dhumal.

Captaining an IPL franchise isn't an easy job by any means. Over the years, many superstar cricketers have not been able to do justice to the role of captaincy. Many captains have been replaced after a few bad seasons.&nbsp;Mayank Agarwal is now&nbsp;the latest to join the list as Punjab Kings (PBKS) have appointed senior batter Shikhar Dhawan as the franchise's captain for IPL 2023.

Dhawan's appointment was confirmed after Punjab's team meeting on Wednesday (November 02) where the newly-appointed coach Trevor Bayliss also backed the move. PBKS' official Twitter handle shared a post and wrote, "#𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐒𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐝, 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐤𝐡𝐚𝐫 𝐃𝐡𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐮𝐧𝐣𝐚𝐛 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬!"

IPL 2023: Another change in captaincy! Shikhar Dhawan replaces Mayank Agarwal as PBKS skipper

Several Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises have been focused on expanding their bases globally and have been buying teams across different T20 leagues around the world. While the owners of the likes of Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, and Kolkata Knight Riders have bought teams in UAE's International League T20 (ILT20), all six teams in South Africa's SA20 league have also been purchased by IPL team owners.

With IPL team owners exploring options around the globe, they have also been hoping to lure the best players from around the world to play for their franchises throughout the year. IPL team owners are looking to tie down some of the top cricketers to year-long contracts for them to be available for selection in all T20 leagues.

As per a report in the Sydney Morning Herald, some IPL teams recently held informal talks with the players through their respective management to find out how much will it take to convince the players to ditch their Cricket Australia (CA) contracts and agree to be a T20 globe-trotter with their IPL franchise.

If a player agrees to sign a year-long deal with an IPL franchise, it will mean he will have to commit to playing for all teams under the franchise's umbrella in different T20 leagues around the world and reduce his playing time for the national team. A top Australian player has reportedly been offered around AUS$5 million (Approx 3.2 million USD) to sign a year-long contract by an IPL team.

The sum of AUS$5 million is more than double what Australia's Test captain Pat Cummins is paid for his Test and ODI contracts combined by Cricket Australia. As per the report, the likes of Cummins, David Warner and Glenn Maxwell among others can be highly sought-after by the IPL teams.

Signing such contracts would also mean the payers will have to play less amount of cricket round the year which will provide them much-needed breaks to spend time with their families while making more money. It remains to be seen if more top overseas players will be approached with such contracts and will commit to them in the future.

Several Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises have been focused on expanding their bases globally and have been buying teams across different T20 leagues around the world.

Several Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises have been focused on expanding their bases globally and have been buying teams across different T20 leagues around the world. While the owners of the likes of Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, and Kolkata Knight Riders have bought teams in UAE's International League T20 (ILT20), all six teams in South Africa's SA20 league have also been purchased by IPL team owners. With IPL team owners exploring options around the globe, they have also been hoping to lure the best players from around the world to play for their franchises throughout the year. IPL team owners are looking to tie down some of the top cricketers to year-long contracts for them to be available for selection in all T20 leagues. As per a report in the Sydney Morning Herald, some IPL teams recently held informal talks with the players through their respective management to find out how much will it take to convince the players to ditch their Cricket Australia (CA) contracts and agree to be a T20 globe-trotter with their IPL franchise. If a player agrees to sign a year-long deal with an IPL franchise, it will mean he will have to commit to playing for all teams under the franchise's umbrella in different T20 leagues around the world and reduce his playing time for the national team. A top Australian player has reportedly been offered around AUS$5 million (Approx 3.2 million USD) to sign a year-long contract by an IPL team.

Istanbul to host IPL 2023? BCCI set to announce venue by early November - Report

In a historic decision, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday (October 18) gave approval to the Women's Indian Premier League (IPL). The tournament is all set to be conducted from 2023 after the official green light from the Indian cricket board. The tournament which has been under consideration for a long time now is all set to shape up next year.

BCCI held its 91st Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Mumbai where former India all-rounder Roger Binny officially replaced Sourav Ganguly as the new president of the board. The new team of BCCI office-bearers also formally took charge in the meeting where several key decisions were made.

“The General Body approved to conduct the Women’s Indian Premier League,” BCCI said in a release after the AGM.

Five teams will be part of the competition to start with and a decision on how the teams will be sold has not been made yet. The five teams can be picked zone-wise or on the basis of individual cities like in the men's IPL. The tournament is likely to be held in March next year after the Women's T20 World Cup.

As per a report in ESPNCricinfo, each team will have a roster of 18 players and will be allowed to pick a maximum of only six overseas players in their squad. However, unlike the men's IP where not more than four foreigners are allowed in the playing XI, five overseas players can be part of the playing XI in the Women's IPL.

The BCCI has reportedly also made it mandatory for each team in the Women's IPL to have at least one overseas player from an associate nation. The tournament is likely to have a total of 22 matches and the final call on the schedule and venue will be taken later.

Each team can comprise maximum of eighteen players where no team can have more than six overseas players,” the board had said, as per PTI.

BCCI approves women's IPL, first edition to be staged in 2023

Former Indian cricket team captain Kapil Dev came up with a blunt response when asked about how players should deal with the extensive pressure in modern-day cricket. The 1983 World Cup-winning captain said those who feel too much pressure when playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) should not play in the competition.

The legendary all-rounder is regarded as one of the greatest of all time. He inspired a generation of cricketers by leading India to a memorable maiden World Cup triumph in 1983 and has since been a role model for many. Kapil said he often comes across the word 'pressure' when hearing debates around cricket on TV and has just one piece of advice for the players.

"I hear a lot of times on TV that there's a lot of pressure on players to play in the IPL. Then I only say one thing, don't play," said Kapil.

The former India captain went on to make a big statement as he said he can't understand 'American terms' like pressure and depression. Kapil believes if a player has passion for the game, he or she should never feel the pressure of performing on the field.

"If a player has passion, there will be no pressure. I can't understand these American terms, like pressure, depression. I'm a farmer and we play because we enjoy the game, and there can't be any pressure while enjoying the game," said the World Cup-winning captain.

However, his comments are sure to leave many divided as several cricketers in the recent past have come out in the open to talk about their mental struggles and depression. Team India's star batter Virat Kohli too had admitted to struggling to deal with the pressure during his rough phase recently.

Don't play in IPL If you feel pressure: Kapil Dev's blunt response on how to deal with pressure in cricket

When the BCCI selection committee announced India's main squad for the forthcoming T20 World Cup, it included many regulars but Sanju Samson's omission made heads turn. The right-hander hasn't created quite a stir at the highest level, barring some good cameos and a couple of half-centuries so far, Samson is a big name in the IPL and is lauded for his free-flowing approach with the bat.

Being in India's scheme of things in the shorter formats, Samson has not been able to break into the main squad. The keeper-batter often features in India's second-stringed line-ups and, hence, was part of the Men in Blue's white-ball tour of West Indies and the three ODIs versus Zimbabwe, in the African nation. In the two tours, many of India's regular players were rested, thus, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper got several opportunities. While some believe he should have been a part of India's T20 WC squad, or at least in the reserves, former pacer S Sreesanth opined that Samson has a lot to catch up on and be more consistent for his state side Kerela.

"He has to be consistent. See, everyone is talking about the IPL. I’m from Kerala, I’m somebody who has always supported him. I’ve seen him play from U14. He has played under me. In fact, I was the one who gave him the cap on his Ranji Trophy debut. But the way I see him… it’s a request to him – he has to start performing in first-class matches,” Sreesanth told&nbsp;Hindustan Times&nbsp;on the sidelines of the Delhi leg of 2022 Legends League Cricket.

Samson has 3,526 runs in 138 IPL games, including three hundreds at a strike rate of 135.72. Nonetheless, Sreesanth -- a twin World Cup-winner --&nbsp;feels he has to step up in the first-class cricket. "Yes, IPL is very important. IPL will give him fame, popularity, and riches, everything across the globe. But I have this strong feeling – for any cricketer for that matter – that they need to start doing extremely well for the state side, especially in first-class cricket. Sanju has to come out and perform in first-class matches. Not just score a hundred, score 200s. Come and make the Kerala team win the Ranji Trophy! Make Kerala team win the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Then, the Kerala cricketers will come out on top,” Sreesanth asserted.

Sreesanth also believes that there is a stiff competition in the Indian team for the keeper-batter slot and, hence, further pointed out, "Is Sanju the only cricketer in Kerala? No, there are so many other cricketers in the state. It’s just a matter of time. Sanju is playing in the IPL, he should be so grateful. The Malayali people across the globe are supporting him, but then, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan… they can all keep. I’m telling you, the keeper-batsmen combination is very high, it’s not just Sanju."

He added, "I’ve told him also, that he has to come back to first-class cricket and make Kerala win. He is the captain also, I genuinely hope he scores hundreds, not just one hundred in three years. He should come into the scene like how Rishabh Pant or Ishan Kishan came. I’m very confident Sanju has got the talent and the ability. It’s just the matter of consistency."

At present, Samson is expected to be named as India's vice-captain for the upcoming South Africa ODIs, at home, starting on Octoebr 06. With the T20 WC-bound players leaving for Australia, Shikhar Dhawan is likely to lead the ODI side with Samson reportedly set to get a promotion as the vice-captain.&nbsp;

'IPL will give him fame, popularity, and riches but...' - Former India pacer opines on Sanju Samson

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting recalled how leaving Mumbai Indians changed a young Suryakumar Yadav's career in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Yadav, who is currently the no.2 ranked batter in T20Is, has come a long way in his career and has gone on to become an integral member of India's white-ball squad.

It was not an easy path to the national team for the 32-year-old, who had to wait until last year to make his debut for the Indian team. However, it took him little time in establishing his credentials as one of the most exciting batters in T20Is after getting his dream India debut.

A young Yadav was part of the Mumbai Indians' squad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) when former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting was with the five-time champions. He rarely got chances in the playing XI and was traded to the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2014, a move that proved to be a game-changing one in his career.

Yadav became a vital cog in KKR's middle-order under Gambhir and played several match-winning knocks for the team as his stocks rose. He was picked up by Mumbai Indians in the 2018 player auction and has since played an instrumental role in Rohit Sharma &amp; Co.'s success by helping them win two titles.

“When I was in Mumbai, he was an 18-19-year-old kid, a young man. He was in our squad not quite getting a game. The year after I left, he was traded to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) where his career started to turn around,” Ponting said in the ICC review.

“He got a bit of an opportunity in the middle order and then MI bought him back in the auction and has been a match-winning player for them for five or six seasons now, to the point that he is one of their retained players,” he added.

Yadav has been one of Mumbai Indians' best batters since joining the team in 2018. He has so far notched up 2036 runs in 68 matches for the five-time champions and was retained by the franchise ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction earlier this year.

He was rewarded for his consistent performances in the IPL and the domestic circuit by making his India debut last year and has since gone on to prove why he is so highly rated. The 32-year-old has been a prolific run-getter for India in T20Is and is set to be India's no.4 at the upcoming T20 World Cup this year.

Recalling his time with a young Yadav, Ponting said those who have been around him from a young age always knew the star India batter had talent in abundance and just needed the opportunities to prove himself at the highest level.

“Anyone who has seen him from a young age knew that he had an abundance of talent. The more he has played, the more he has learned about himself, the more different situations he has found himself in a game, he has found a way to not just survive, but thrive in the IPL at international level,” Ponting said.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is planning to introduce the 'impact player' rule in the domestic T20 tournaments in the country, including the Indian Premier League (IPL). The rule is set to be tested for the first time in the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy which gets underway on October 11 before it can be applied in the IPL.

As per the rule, a team can replace one member of their playing XI with an 'impact' substitute during a match in order to improve their chances of winning the contest. The impact sub can either be a batter or a bowler and can help his team change the game. The BCCI wants to first implement the rule in domestic tournaments for the players and team officials to get used to it.

The Indian cricket board believes the rule will further help in making T20s more attractive and interesting amid the rising popularity of the game.

“With the ever-growing popularity of T20 cricket, it is imperative that we look at introducing new dimensions which will make this format more attractive and interesting not only for our viewers but also the participating teams from a strategic viewpoint," the BCCI said in a circular sent to all state associations.

“Teams need to identify playing XI and 4 substitutes at the time of the toss. Out of the 4 substitutes named in the team sheet, only one of the players can be used as an Impact player,” it added.

All you need to know about the Impact Player rule

An impact player can be the 12th or 13th name on the team sheet alongside the original playing XI. The impact player can be introduced after the 10th over of the first innings and can replace only a player, who hasn't batted or is yet to bowl more than a single over.

The replacement player can bowl his full quota of four overs even if the player he replaced has already bowled one over. However, the impact player cannot bowl four overs if the match is interrupted by rain and the overs are reduced per innings. The impact player can be introduced only before the completion of the 14th over of the innings.

It is not mandatory for a team to use impact players during a game. However, if a team plans to introduce one, the captain, head coach or manager will have to inform the on-field officials about the introduction of the impact player. Once replaced by an impact player, the other player cannot take part in the rest of the game or come in as a substitute fielder.

“Player who is replaced by an Impact Player can no longer take part in the remainder of the match and is also not permitted to return as a substitute fielder. If a player gets injured while fielding in mid over, the current playing condition prevails under 24.1 – substitute fielders,” stated the circular shared by BCCI.

&nbsp;“After the introduction of Impact Player in game, a player can bat and may bowl a full allotment of 4 overs in an uninterrupted innings. In case a player gets retired hurt, Impact Player can be introduced only at the end of the over in progress and is eligible to bat. In any situation, only 11 players can bat," it added further.

No impact players can be used if the start of the match is delayed and the overs are reduced to less than ten per innings. The rule can be a game-changer going ahead as teams can use it to their benefit by introducing an 'impact player' when in trouble while batting or bowling.

BCCI set to introduce new 'impact player' rule in domestic T20s and IPL - All you need to know

A recent Twitter exchange between Indian star Shubman Gill and his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Gujarat Titans (GT) has left the fans guessing. Gill played an instrumental role in helping the Titans win their maiden IPL title in their debut campaign last season. However, their recent exchange suggests that batter might be set to leave the franchise.

"It's been a journey to remember. We wish you all the best for your next endeavour, @ShubmanGill," Gujarat Titans wrote in a tweet on Saturday. Gill was quick to respond with a heart and a hug emoji, sparking rumours of his departure. However, there has been no official word from both parties&nbsp;yet.

Fans were left puzzled as they were left guessing after the Twitter exchange between the team and the player. While some suggested it could be a prank or some advertisement, others were quick to speculate about Gill's potential return to his former team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

Gill, who made his IPL debut in 2018, was part of the Kolkata Knight Riders for four seasons from 2018 to 2021. He established himself as one of the key members of the KKR squad with his batting exploits on top of the order and was even touted by many as the future captain of the franchise.

However, Gill was surprisingly let go of by KKR last year as he joined debutant Gujarat Titans as one of their marquee players. Gill was brilliant on top of the order for the Titans and went on to notch up 483 runs in 16 matches at an average of 34.50 and a strike rate of over 132 to help the Hardik Pandya-led side win the title in what was a memorable campaign for the debutants.

It remains to be seen if Gujarat Titans' message for Gill is ahead of his departure from the franchise. Gill, who has been part of the IPL for five seasons now, has played 74 matches and amassed 1900 runs in the tournament at a strike rate of 125.25.

Is Shubman Gill leaving Gujarat Titans? IPL franchise's cryptic tweet leaves fans guessing

Former India batter Suresh Raina has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. The veteran&nbsp;batter will not feature in the domestic tournaments for his state side Uttar Pradesh and will also not play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) going forward. Raina took to Twitter to announce his decision while thanking his former IPL team Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the UP State Cricket Association.

Raina, who remains one of the best Indian players to have graced the IPL, went unsold at the IPL 2022 mega auction earlier this year after none of the franchises showed any interest in roping in the 35-year-old. Raina was part of the CSK squad in their title-winning campaign in 2021 before being released by the franchise.

"It has been an absolute honour to represent my country &amp; state UP. I would like to announce my retirement from all formats of Cricket. I would like to thank&nbsp;@BCCI,&nbsp;@UPCACricket,&nbsp;@ChennaiIPL,&nbsp;@ShuklaRajiv&nbsp;sir &amp; all my fans for their support and unwavering faith in my abilities," Raina wrote in a tweet.

The southpaw is one of the greatest batters to have played the IPL and will go down as one of the legends of the Chennai Super Kings. Despite not featuring in the IPL this year, Raina remains CSK's highest run-getter with 5529 runs in 200 matches across all competitions at an average of 33.10 and a strike rate of 138.91, including two centuries and an impressive 38 fifties.

Known as the Chinna Thala for his exploits with CSK, Raina has a total of 5528 runs in IPL in 205 matches and is the fifth highest run-getter of all time in the history of the competition. Raina spent total of 12 seasons with CSK helping the team win four IPL titles and two Champions League T20 titles in 2010 and 2014.

Raina led Gujarat Lions for two seasons in 2016 and 2017 when CSK were banned from the IPL. He announced his retirement from international cricket on August 15 in 2020. His retirement announcement had come an hour after former India captain MS Dhoni's decision to retire. Raina played&nbsp;18 Tests, 226 ODIs and 78 T20Is in international cricket and also led India on a few occasions in Dhoni's absence.

Raina is likely to feature in a few overseas leagues after announcing his retirement from all forms of cricket. The former India batter has already obtained a&nbsp;No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the&nbsp;Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) and has offers from T20 leagues in South Africa, Sri Lanka and UAE.

“I want to continue playing cricket for two or three years. There are some exciting youngsters who are coming through the ranks of Uttar Pradesh cricket. I have already taken my No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA). I have informed BCCI secretary Jay Shah and vice-president Rajiv Shukla about my decision,” Raina was quoted as saying by Dainik Jagran.

“I will play in the Road Safety Series. T20 franchises from South Africa, Sri Lanka and UAE have contacted me but I am yet to take any decision,” said Raina, who has been training at the RPL cricket ground in Ghaziabad for the past one year," he added.
