HELLO GYES
LETS TALK ABOUT YOUR FAVT IPL TEAM OF 2018..
LET GET STARTED..
As per the new player retention policy rules, a team is allowed to retain a maximum of 5 players through a combination of retentions and Right To Match Cards (RTM). The much-anticipated IPL auction is penciled in on January 27 and 28 at Bangalore.
When will IPL 11 start?
The season kicks off on April 4 and the final will be played on May 31. As always, the tournament will be played in double Round-Robin format i.e. each team will play two matches against every other team in league stage, one home and one away. 8 teams will battle out in 60 matches for the elusive IPL title.
Return of CSK and RR
Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals will return to the fold after serving a 2-year ban because of spot-fixing. The two teams last played the league in 2015. They will be looking to redeem themselves by putting up a good show this season.
Cloud hangs over Gambhir’s KKR captaincy
If reports are to be believed, KKR are not willing to retain Gautam Gambhir ahead of the auction. Although there hasn’t been any official announcement yet, we might see Gambhir going under the hammer at the auction. KKR under Gambhir’s captaincy has won 2 IPL titles in 2014 and 2016. Gambhir has been great leader and a prolific run scorer for KKR over the years.
Dhoni’s return to CSK
Mahendra Singh Dhoni spent two years at Rising Pune Supergiants while CSK was serving the ban. He led them in 2016 but didn’t have a fruitful season and Pune finished second last on table. In 2017 he was stripped off captaincy as Pune decided to go with Steve Smith. However, the crowd-favourite will be back in yellow colours leading his earlier IPL franchise. Dhoni has led CSK to 2 IPL and 2 CLT20 titles.
Warner to lead SRH

David Warner has been Sunrisers Hyderabad’s most consistent batsman. There is no doubt Sunrisers decided to stick with their leader for the upcoming season. SRH posted on their Twitter handle that they have retained Warner and will follow his lead.
The Young Rising
The U-19 World Cup 2018 kicks off on January 13 in New Zealand, just two weeks before the auction. It is a fantastic opportunity for the young guns to showcase their skills and fetch big numbers at the auction. Mumbai’s player of the season in Ranji Trophy Prithvi Shaw, Nayan Mongia’s son Mohit Mongia, Master Blaster’s son Arjun Tendulkar and Steve Waugh’s son Austin Waugh are some bright prospects that could be picked at the auction Also, we could see a number of uber-talented youngsters who have performed well in Ranji get picked.
Reports say Chennai’s three choices of retention are likely to be Dhoni, Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja and RCB are likely to keep Virat Kohli, Yuzvendra Chahal and Chris Gayle although the team haven’t made it official yet.
