A legacy of leadership and excellence

Born on August 6, 1992, in Chennai, Kavya Maran hails from a family with an exceptional legacy in business, media, and politics.

Her illustrious family lineage also includes her relation to former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, a towering figure in Indian politics.

Kavya’s educational journey is equally impressive. She earned a commerce degree from Stella Maris College, Chennai, before pursuing an MBA from the prestigious Warwick Business School, UK. Armed with a strong academic background, Kavya took charge as the CEO of Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2018, a role in which she has consistently de??mo??nstrated her leadership skills and business acumen.

With the player retention submission date fast approaching on October 31, franchises are busy strategizing on whom to retain for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Teams are weighing their options on retaining players, using the Right to Match (RTM) card, or letting some go to free up budget space. The crucial decision-making period has created a bu??zz, with reports indicating which players will be key to each team’s strategy for the new season.

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s retention plan ahead of IPL 2025 auction

According to a report from ESPNcricinfo, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have finalized their list of retention picks ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. The franchise is expected to retain their key players, including Heinrich Klaasen, Pat Cummins, and Abhishek Sharma. Among these, Klaasen will be the top retention pick, with reports suggesting he will be retained at a sig???nificant price.

Heinrich Klaasen’s high-value retention at a whopping price

Klaasen, who played a vital role in SRH’s performance last season, is set to become the top retention for the team. Reports suggest that the wicketkeeper-batter will be retained for a whopping INR 23 crore, making him one of the most valuable players in the retention pool. Klaasen’s performances in IPL 2024 showcased his ability to anchor the innings and provide stability to the middle order, justifying the franchise’s decision to invest heavily in him.

Pat Cummins to continue as SRH captain in 2025

Cummins, who captained SRH to the final last season, is also set to continue his leadership role in the 2025 season. The Australian pacer is expected to be retained at INR ??18 crore. Cummins�?all-round abilities and leadership were crucial to SRH’s success, and the franchise is keen to maintain that stability by keeping him at the helm for another year.

Abhishek Sharma to be retained as key Indian player

Indian star Abhishek will be another crucial retention for SRH, with reports indicating a retention price of INR 14 crore. Abhishek has been a consistent performer for SRH, contributing with both bat and ball, and his retention reflects the team’s desire to build a balanced squad. His all-round skills make him an asset, and SRH will be looking for more of the same in the upcoming season.

Additional retentions to include two more stars

Alongside the primary trio, SRH are also likely to finalize deals for retaining Travis Head and uncapped Indian player Nitish Kumar Reddy. Both players have shown promise and have been part? of the team’s long-term plans. The franchise appears to be keen on retaining a core group of players to maintain consistency going into the next season.

IPL 2025 retention rules

The purse for the IPL 2025 auction is set at INR 120 crore, with each franchise allowed to retain up to six?? players, including one uncapped Indian player. The IPL has also laid down specific retention slabs: INR 18 crore, INR 14 crore, and INR 11 crore for the first three capped retentions, and additional slabs of INR 18 c??rore and INR 14 crore for the next two capped players. Uncapped Indian players can fetch a maximum of INR 4 crore, while franchises have the flexibility to distribute the retention budget of INR 75 crore among five capped players as per their strategy.

SRH looks to build a competitive squad for IPL 2025

With the retention decisions nearing finalization, SRH are focused on building a squad capable of ??competing at the highest level. The potential retentions of Klaasen, Cummins, Abhishek, and others indicate the franchise’s commitment to retaining a mix of experience and youth. As the retention deadline looms, all eyes will be on how other franchises strategize their moves and whether any surprise releases might shake up the auction dynamics.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is once again at the centre of a storm, this time over a controversial proposal by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The franchise has reportedly requested the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to consider MS Dhoni as an uncapped player for the IPL 2025 mega-auctions.

The controversial proposal to retain MS Dhoni

To understand the implications of this demand, it’s crucial to delve into the IPL’s auction dynamics. Typically, teams have the option to retain a certain number of players ahead of mega-auctions. While retained players come at a premium, the potential to acquire young, uncapped talent at significantly lower costs is a key strategy for franchises.

CSK’s proposal, if accepted, would allow them to retain Dhoni at a much lower cost than retaining him as a capped player. This has understandably raised eyebrows among other franchises, with Sunrisers Hyderabad owner Kavya Maran leading the opposition.

Kavya Maran opposes CSK’s demand

Maran has vociferously criticized CSK’s proposal, labelling it as “disrespectful” to Dhoni’s legendary career. She argued that classifying Dhoni as an uncapped player would be a gross undervaluation of his immense contribution to the IPL and cricket in general.

Maran’s stance has resonated with many in the cricketing fraternity, who believe that Captain Cool’s status as a cricketing icon is beyond question. His impact on the IPL, both as a player and a captain, has been unparalleled.

Dhoni: An IPL legend

Dhoni’s journey in the IPL has been nothing short of extraordinary. Since the inception of the league in 2008, he has been synonymous with the Yellow army. As captain, he led CSK to five IPL titles, establishing them as one of the most successful franchises in the league’s history.

Dhoni’s calm demeanour, exceptional game-awareness, and ability to finish matches have earned him a cult-like following. His helicopter shot became an iconic trademark, thrilling fans worldwide. Beyond his batting prowess, Dhoni’s astute captaincy and mentorship of young players have been instrumental in CSK’s success.

His ret??irement announcement from international cricket in 2020 marked the e??nd of an era, but his influence on the game has continued. His decision to continue playing in the IPL has kept fans engaged, and his presence in the CSK dugout remains a source of inspiration for the team.

The road ahead of IPL auction 2024

The BCCI now faces a challenging task in deciding whether to accept CSK’s proposal. On one hand, there is the potential financial benefit for CSK, and on the other, the implications for the overall balance of the league.

If the proposal is accepted, it could set a precedent for future retirements and re-entries, potentially di?srupting the auction dynamics. Moreover, it raises questions about the respect accorded to legendary players.

As the debate intensifies, one thing is clear: Dhoni’s legacy in the IPL is secure, irrespective of any rule changes. The final decision will undoubtedly shape the future of the IPL and the perception of its treatment of its iconic players.

Mitchell Starc, who became the most expensive player in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, has openly discussed the significant salaries he and fellow Australian pacer Pat Cummins received, as well as the subsequent criticism.

Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins’ record IPL salaries

Starc was acquired by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for an unprecedented INR 24.75 crore, making him the highest-paid player in IPL history. Meanwhile, Cummins was signed by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for INR 20.50 crore, a figure that also drew attention and surpassed the salaries of many top Indian cricketers. The high ??expectations and immense scrutiny followed, especially after their initial performances did not meet the anticipated levels.

Initial criticism and turning the tide

In the first half of the tournament, Starc’s performance was below par, attracting significant criticism from fans and pundits alike. However, Starc remained unperturbed by the negative feedback. In a revealing discussion on the Willow Talk Cricket Podcast, Starc shared how both he and Cummins managed to find humor in the situation despite the intense scrutiny they faced. Starc humorously reflected on their journey, noting how they transitioned from being labeled as overpriced players to leading their respective teams to the finals.

“So, first game of the IPL, we played Hyderabad. Paddy and I both got paid a fair bit, played the first game, had a bit of a laugh about it. Just so happens we play each other nine weeks later in the final. And all of a sudden, it’s gone from, oh, they’ve paid overs for these two. These two are now playing a final. Funny that,” Starc said.

Redemption in the IPL playoffs

Despite the early backlash, Starc proved his worth by leading KKR to victories in Qualifier 1 and the final, showcasing his exceptional skills and justifying his hefty price tag. Similarly, Cummins thrived under pressure, his leadership and performance being pivotal in guiding SRH to their first final in six years. Cummins’ captaincy and key contributions on the field helped SRH reach the summit clash, where they ultimately fell to Starc’s KKR.

“You all have made us so proud. I had to come here and tell you that. You’ve redefined the way we play T20 cricket and everyone is talking about us. The off day had to happen today, but really great job, all of you with the bat and ball. Thank you so much.

The batting woes for SRH began early with Abhishek Sharma (2), Travis Head (0), and Rahul Tripathi (9) falling cheaply, reducing them to a precarious 21/3. Brief resistance came from Aiden Markram (20) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (13), but their efforts we?re insufficient against the mounting pressure.

SRH registered a convincing 36-run victory over RR in Qualifier 2 on Friday night.. Despite early jitters caused by Trent Boult’s bowling, a collective effort from SRH batsmen, with key contributions from Travis Head, Rahul Tripathi, and Heinrich Klaasen, resulted in a competitive 175/9.

RR’s chase began brightly with a strong showing from Yashasvi Jaiswal (42). However, their top order faltered, failing to capitalize on his early momentum. Jurel’s valiant knock of 56 off 35 balls offered a glimmer of hope, but a lack of support at the other end ultimately doomed their chase. SRH’s bowling attack, led by the impressive spin duo of Shahbaz Ahmed (3/23) and Abhishek Sharma (2/24), choked the RR batsmen and restricted them to 139/7.
