Behrendorff, who has been part of the Mumbai Indians squad in the IPL in the past, will be rejoining the Rohit Sharma-led franchise ahead of the 2023 season. The left-arm pacer was bought by RCB for a sum of Rs 75 lakh (INR 7.5 million) in the player auction last year.

The Aussie quick has played 105 matches in his T20 career picking up a total of 117 wickets at an average of 23.12 and an economy rate of 7.41. He has two four-wicket hauls under his belt in the shortest format and has enough experience behind his back in T20s.

MI failed to make it to the playoffs last season and finished last on the points table.

Mumbai Indians had spent big on Ishan Kishan and Jofra Archer, who was unavailable last season due to an injury. Their auction strategy seemed to have backfired on the pitch as their performances were far from impressive with the franchise only managing four wins in 14 matches.

While the T20 World Cup 2022 edition is living up to expectations and is set for a thrilling finish, on November 13, there is plenty in store for cricket fans even after the end of the mega event in Australia. Soon after the conclusion of the T20 WC, the IPL 2023 mini-auction will take place in late December. The mini auction is set to be held in Kochi on December 23.&nbsp;

As per a report in ESPNCricnifo, the mini-auction for the 16th edition of the IPL -- which is just over four months away from its commencement -- will be hosted by Kochi, and not Istanbul or Bengaluru as per earlier reports. Prior to this, many portals had indicated that the BCCI is keen to take the auction outside India, however, it seems it won't be the case this time around. Early in 2022, the IPL 2022 two-day mega auction had been held in Bengaluru. Hence, this will be the second time when the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will be staging the IPL auction twice in a calendar year (after 2018).

Among the other franchises, the likes of Mayank Agarwal, Navdeep Saini, Shivam Mavi, Dushmantha Chameera, Manish Pandey, Romario Shepherd, Ajinkya Rahane, Aaron Finch, etc. are some big names who are expected to be released.

Not Bengaluru or Istanbul! IPL 2023 mini-auction to be held in Kochi on December 23: Report

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;

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.

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!"

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

MS Dhoni remains a big name in world cricket. Having retired from international cricket on August 15, 2020, the 41-year-old continues to make heads turn whenever he appears on the 22-yard cricket strip donning the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) jersey in the IPL. He will return to competitive cricket in IPL 2023 where he will hope to guide CSK to another title.&nbsp; 
 
Over the years, Dhoni has been known for fulfilling various roles for Team India and his IPL franchises. Apart from his blitz as a wicketkeeper, batter, finisher, he is also known to be one of the most ideal leaders in world cricket. Under him, India won all three ICC trophies and even attained the No. 1 rank in ICC Test Rankings for the first time, in late 2009. He has even led CSK to four IPL titles along with two Champions League triumphs. Known as Captain Cool, Dhoni recently revealed why he is so cool on the field amid such high-pressure situations.&nbsp;

In an event, Dhoni asked the audience, "How many of you think your bosses are calm?". With only a few hands&nbsp;going up, the former Indian captain asserted, "Either they want to make brownie points or they are bosses themselves." He added, "Honestly, when we are on the field, we do not want to make any mistakes whether it's misfielding, dropped catches or any other mistake. I always try and get into their shoes to figure out why a player dropped a catch or why somebody misfielded. Getting angry does not help matters. There are already 40,000 people watching from the stands and crores of people watching the match (on TV, and streaming platforms). I had to see what the reason was (for fielding lapses)."

"If a player is 100 per cent attentive on the ground and he misses a catch despite that, I don't have a problem. Of course, I also want to see how many catches he took during practice before that.. if he had a problem somewhere and he is making efforts to get better or not. I used to focus on all these aspects instead of focusing on whether a catch was dropped. Maybe we lost a game because of that but the effort was always to try to step into their shoes," Dhoni said on Livfast.

"I am also human. I would feel the same way inside like you all felt. When you go out and play a match among yourselves, you would feel bad. We represent our country, so we would feel worse. But we always try and control our emotions," concluded the legendary cricketer.

'Getting angry does not help matters' - MS Dhoni reveals why he always remains calm on field

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

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) CEO Kasi Viswanathan has confirmed MS Dhoni will continue leading the side in the Indian Premier League (IPL) next year. CSK had begun last season with Ravindra Jadeja as the captain of the side after Dhoni stepped down from his post, only for the veteran wicket-keeper batter to be re-appointed as the skipper midway through their campaign.

CSK endured a below-par run in IPL 2022 as they failed to make it to the playoffs for only the second time in their history. It was an abysmal campaign for the four-time champions as they managed only four wins in 14 games to finish a disappointing seventh.

Jadeja was handed over the baton by Dhoni ahead of the start of the season and expectations were high from the all-rounder ahead of his debut captaincy stint. However, CSK got off to a horrid start and managed only two wins in their first eight games before Dhoni replaced Jadeja.

Despite the captaincy change, CSK failed to qualify for the playoffs. Jadeja, on the other hand, played only two games under Dhoni before he was ruled out of the tournament due to an injury and is reportedly not in good terms with the CSK management anymore after he was sacked from captaincy.

While there were rumours that CSK might hand over the captaincy to Jadeja in order to pacify the situation or find a new successor for Dhoni, the franchise CEO there will be no changes as far as the 2023 season is concerned.

“There is no change in our stance. We never said that there will be a change,” Viswanathan was quoted as saying by Insidesport.

We never said that there will be a change,” Viswanathan was quoted as saying by Insidesport.

MS Dhoni remains a big name in international cricket. The former Indian captain retired from international cricket on August 15, 2020, but remains a darling of the masses due to his rich contribution to Indian cricket.&nbsp;

In his international career, spanning from late 2004 to 2019, Dhoni ended with 17266 runs, 16 centuries, 108 half-centuries, 643 catches, 359 sixes, and 195 stumpings. In addition, he led India to all three ICC titles along with the No. 1 ranking in Tests. He became a household name for his big-hitting prowess, smart and unorthodox keeping skills, and calm and composed nature as captain.&nbsp;

Recently, former Pakistan captain and keeper-batter Rashid Khan made a big claim on Dhoni. According to Rashid, Dhoni's dropping percentage was as high as 21.

“Dhoni was a batsman-wicketkeeper. Obviously, Dhoni is a very big name. But if I go into stats, his dropping percentage is 21 percent, which is huge, huge,” Latif said on his official YouTube channel.

"You can't use my record because this particular record came into being from 2002 or 2003. We had already played by then. Adam Gilchrist had percentage of only 11, Mark Boucher was very good. Australia's Tim Paine started well but towards the end dropped a lot of catches,” Latif asserted.

Rashid also named the best wicketkeeper-batter of the past 10-15 years. “If you look at the best in last 15 years, then I would say Quinton de Kock is superb, has kept in all three formats and batted at the top of the order in white ball cricket,” the Pakistani added.

Interestingly, the former cricketer didn't delve into the details regarding the statistics he came up with. Nevertheless, Dhoni's keeping skills have been admired and hailed by many former cricketers and he has inspired many&nbsp;emerging wicketkeepers in the country&nbsp;over the years. He will next be seen in action on the 22-yard cricket strip during IPL 2023, once again representing the Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

Happy Birthday MSD: Reliving MS Dhoni's decorated career as he turns 41

MS Dhoni remains a huge name in world cricket. The legendary cricketer retired from international cricket on August 15, 2020. However, he remains a darling of the nation for his stupendous contribution towards Indian cricket courtesy of his batting, finishing and wicketkeeping skills along with leading India to all three major ICC titles as captain.

While Dhoni ended with a mammoth 17,266 international tons with 16 hundreds overall, his wicketkeeping records were also exceptional. The former Indian captain ended with 829 dismissals -- 634 catches and 195 stumpings overall. He is the third-most successful keeper in terms of total dismissals and has accounted for most stumpings in white-ball formats. Dhoni's presence of mind, wise mind and being aware of the angles made him a force to reckon with as a keeper. His guidance and clever moves from behind the stumps often benefitted India.

Recently, India's former fielding coach R Sridhar opened up on Dhoni's brilliance behind the stumps and explained the science behind his prowess as a keeper.

"MS Dhoni, the wicketkeeper, is an institution in himself. Dhoni, the wicketkeeper, is a different book to write. None of his skills were developed overnight. It was not in his repertoire when he started or when India won the 2011 World Cup. It is something that has grown as his awareness of the game has gone better," Sridhar told Sony Sports.

"You didn't see him doing these things, probably in 2016 (correct me if I am wrong). His awareness of the game has grown so much. And those stumpings that you see, which he does, I would warn young wicketkeepers to not try that at home or in practice because he has done it after collecting millions of deliveries behind the stumps. Even if you break it down in slow motion, while his hands are coming forward towards the stumps, his wrists will be going back, giving a cushion to the balls," Sridhar added.

Even in the IPL, Dhoni has most dismissals (170) and will once again gear up to represent the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 2023 edition. Under him, CSK finished at the ninth spot in the IPL 15 season, missing out on the playoffs for only the second time (out of 13 seasons) in their rich&nbsp;history in the cash-rich league.

Following the end of the IPL media rights auction, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah had made a big revelation that the board plans to extend the window for the cash-rich league from the next season, in order to have more international players available throughout an edition. Following this, reports were flowing in that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is unhappy with this development and is set to discuss the matter at ICC's board meeting, to be held later this year in Birmingham.

"From the next FTP cycle, IPL will have an official two-and-a-half-month window so that all the top international cricketers can participate. We have had discussions with various boards as well as the ICC," Shah had told PTI.

Thus, Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja has now reacted to the proposed plan of extending the IPL window from next year. In this regard, the former Pakistan captain said during a media interaction on Friday (June 24), "There has been no announcement or decision as yet on the IPL window being increased. I will give my views on this issue at the ICC conference."

Ramiz has also opined on his plans of seeing India-Pakistan lock horns on the 22-yard cricket strip outside ICC tournaments. In this context, he&nbsp;had suggested for a multi-team tournament several times in the recent past. He revealed, "I have spoken to Sourav on the sidelines on this, and I told him that presently there are three former cricketers heading their cricket boards and if they can't make a difference, who will? Twice Ganguly has invited me to attend the IPL finals last year and this year, and cricketing-wise, it made sense to go, but then, because of the situation, we had to look at the fallout of accepting the invitations," he further added.

BCCI to earn HUMONGOUSLY per ball! Unimaginable numbers behind IPL 2023-27 media rights auction

Mumbai Indians (MI) had a shambolic campaign in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 as they were the first team to be knocked out from the race for the playoffs and finished at the bottom of the table with just eight points from 14 matches. The five-time champions went on to lose a record eight matches in a row at the start of the season and could never recover from the poor start as they eventually bowed out of the tournament.&nbsp;

However, putting the disappointing season behind MI star Suryakumar Yadav is already looking forward to the next season in 2023 and has set out the goals for himself and the franchise. Suryakumar, who is one of the key players in the Mumbai Indians squad, wants the team to bounce back and win their sixth title anyhow next season.

In a video shared by Mumbai Indians on social media, Suryakumar spoke about the franchise's goals for the next season and said they will have to add another trophy to their cabinet. "We've to lift the sixth (trophy) anyhow. It is unfortunate that this can't happen this year, fifth or sixth trophy, but next year, we have to add one more trophy anyhow," said Suryakumar.

Suryakumar didn't have the best of campaigns for the Mumbai Indians season as his campaign was marred with injuries. The star batter had to miss the first few matches for his team due to a forearm injury before making a strong comeback. He went on to score 303 runs at an impressive average of 43.29 and a strike rate of over 145.
