While the Delhi Capitals management is keen on having Pant lead the team, there is speculation that they might opt not to burden him with the wicketkeeping duties to avoid stressing his leg.

The controversy related to the retention and release of players as the new edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) approaches often steals the limelight. The IPL 2022 trading season witnessed a notable development with the release of star Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), which sparked considerable attention and speculation.

Shedding light on the dramatic turn of events, former director of RCB, Mike Hesson, disclosed the rationale behind the Haryana based cricketer choice not to reacquire the services of the prolific leg-spinner during the auction.

Mike Hesson on Yuzvendra Chahal’s reaction

Hesson reflected on the challenges in acquiring Chahal during that year’s (2022) auction, highlighting the extensive effort put into securing him. He told that despite facing difficulties and conveying the complexities of the auction dynamics, the leg-spinner remained disheartened by the process. He mentioned that Chahal was aware of the team’s struggles and the issues faced during the auction.

“I remember ringing Yuzi afterwards, and he was upset. It was very difficult to try and explain to him the auction dynamics at that time. He was visibly disinterested, and I don’t blame him. He was an RCBian and he was frustrated. But I can assure everyone that he is well aware of the issues we were confronted with,” Hesson said on Cricket.com.

Hesson on the dynamics involved

Hesson further explained the mathematics in on loading Chahal, emphasizing the cricketer’s position at No. 65 in the auction list, making it challenging to secure him. Despite extensive discussions during mock auctions, uncertainties in the actual auction dynamics made it difficult to guarantee Chahal’s acquisition.

“The fact that he came in at No.65 in the auction list (sic) meant that it was really difficult for us to guarantee that we would get him. But yes, we spent hours and hours at the mock auction debating how we could potentially buy Yuzi,” the 49-year-old added.

The debate over the ideal number three batter in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been a topic of discussion among cricket enthusiasts worldwide. Two stalwarts, Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina, have carved their names in the annals of IPL history with their exceptional performances for their respective franchises. Both players have left an indelible mark while batting at number three in the cash-rich league.

Virat Kohli’s Impact

The former skipper of RCB, Kohli’s influence at the number three position has been profound. With an astounding 7263 runs in 237 matches, Kohli’s consistency and ability to anchor the innings have been instrumental in RCB’s campaigns over the years.

Suresh Raina’s legacy

On the other hand, Raina’s journey has been nothing short of legendary. With 5528 runs in 205 games, Raina’s impact as a middle-order dynamo for CSK transcended statistics. His aggressive yet composed batting style, especially against spin bowling, has been pivotal in CSK’s success.

Legendary cricketers and analysts have weighed in on the debate, offering their perspectives on the best number three batter in the IPL between Kohli and Raina.

Wasim Akram names his pick

Legendary cricketer Wasim Akram weighed in on the debate, citing Raina’s impressive numbers as a middle-order batter in the IPL. However, Akram ultimately favored Kohli for the number three spot, emphasizing Kohli’s ability to not only anchor the innings but also finish games when required.

“Raina’s numbers I’ve been looking at; he’s the most successful middle-order batter in IPL history. But if I have to pick number three for me, it’s got to be Virat Kohli. Rana can bat at four and five because he can end up as a finisher for you as well,” said Akram on Star Sports.

Dale Steyn’s preference

Former South African cricketer Dale Steyn shared his perspective, indicating a preference for Kohli at number three in the batting order. Steyn acknowledged the versatility of Raina but hinted at slotting him slightly lower down the order.

“I’ve got Virat at 3, and then I got someone like Raina just maybe a little bit later down the order,” said Steyn.

Insights from Tom Moody and Matthew Hayden

Cricketing stalwarts such as Tom Moody and Matthew Hayden also weighed in on the debate, highlighting the strengths of both Kohli and Raina. Moody emphasized Raina’s proficiency against spin bowling while Hayden lauded Kohli’s exceptional ability to chase down runs, ultimately favoring Kohli for the crucial number three position.

“For me, he’s not a number three, but he’s definitely in my top six, and Suresh Raina is one of the best players of spin. Having that left-hander in your middle order is absolutely crucial. I’ve got Kohli at four for all the reasons that have already been stated,” said Moody.

“It’s a choice between the greatest Indian batter of all time versus one of the greatest IPL players, and that’s what we’re deciding. What I really love about Virat Kohli is his ability to chase down runs, so number three for me is just lock him in,” said Hayden.

The reason behind Gus Atkinson’s unexpected departure from KKR

Having previously been part of Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 2018 and 2021 seasons, respectively, he showcased his skills with a notable stint with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 2022 season, claiming nine wickets from 12 matches.

Delhi Capitals: The underdogs with untapped potential

Delhi Capitals, often touted as the underdogs in the IPL, possess a formidable lineup of players capable of turning the tide in their favor.

Irfan Pathan’s insights: Delhi Capitals’ bowling strengths

Meanwhile, ahead of the upcoming season, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has named his ideal bowling combination for the Capitals. Pathan believed that the team’s bowling unit is already strong but would greatly benefit if Anrich Nortje, a key fast bowler from South Africa, recovers from his fitness issues and is able to play.

Pathan expressed confidence in other bowlers like Mukesh Kumar, who has been representing India consistently, and Khaleel Ahmed, who has been active in domestic cricket and is expected to be in good form. Additionally, the former India all-rounder highlighted the presence of two skilled spinners, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel, in the Delhi squad, further bolstering their bowling strength.

“I don’t think they (Delhi Capitals) will face difficulties when it comes to their bowling. If Anrich Nortje gets fit than this bowling attack will appear great. Mukesh Kumar is expected to perform good as he has been playing for India throughout the year. Khaleel Ahmed will be fit and in rhythm as he has been playing domestic cricket. And they have two very good spinners in the form of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel,” said Pathan on Star Sports.

As the Indian Premier League (IPL) approaches its 16th anniversary, the anticipation surrounding the ‘All-Time Greatest IPL Team’ has ignited discussions and reflections on the stellar careers of cricketing legends. In a special show hosted by Star Sports, the ‘Incredible 16’ team was unveiled, with an esteemed panel of experts, including Matthew Hayden, Dale Steyn, Wasim Akram and Tom Moody, engaging in spirited discussions.

A unanimous captaincy choice by legends

In the quest to identify the captain of the all time greatest IPL team, the panel unanimously and unequivocally pointed to one name, MS Dhoni. The former Indian skipper, renowned for his astute leadership and unflappable demeanor, emerged as the undisputed choice to lead the ‘Incredible 16’ team.

Dale Steyn’s acclamation

Steyn, the former South African fast bowler, extolled Dhoni as the epitome of leadership excellence. Acknowledging Dhoni’s extensive list of achievements, including IPL titles and World Cup triumphs, Steyn emphasized the profound impact of Dhoni’s leadership both on and off the field.

“It has to be MS Dhoni. He has won everything: World Cup, IPL, ICC Champions Trophy. I think he’s a leader of men, and you’ve got a bunch of men here that are all at the highest level of their game, and they need someone who has been there and done that and can manage them extremely well on and off the field, so I will have to go with MS Dhoni,” Steyn said.

Wasim Akram’s straightforward choice

Cricketing legend Akram left no room for ambiguity when he asserted that selecting the captain for the ‘Incredible 16’ team was not a complex decision. With unwavering certainty, Akram declared Dhoni as the rightful leader, emphasizing the simplicity of the choice.

” You don’t have to ben an ex-cricketer, cricket pundit or a rocket scientist to pick this. It’s MS Dhoni,” Akram said.

Tom Moody’s praise for adaptability

Moody, former Australia cricketer and coach, underscored Dhoni’s remarkable ability to lead teams of varying calibers to success. Highlighting Dhoni’s adaptability and strategic acumen, Moody commended the Indian stalwart for harnessing the potential of diverse talents.

“It has to be MS Dhoni for me, the reason being MS Dhoni has won the title with very good squads and average squads, and that tells me a lot about the captain and how he can lead a variety of talent in a squad to success. Rohit Sharma has been a brilliant captain for MI but MI have always had the best squads or up there with the best squads in the IPL since its inception,” Moody said.

Matthew Hayden’s perspective

Delving beyond Dhoni’s captaincy prowess, Hayden commended Dhoni’s potential as a coach. The former Australian cricketer highlighted Dhoni’s unique ability to seamlessly straddle roles as both player and manager. According to Hayden, Dhoni’s calming influence and astute leadership style make him an invaluable asset in guiding teams to glory.

“I think it’s an obvious choice, it’s not a debate over here, it’s going to be unanimous amongst the entire Indian community. Of course, Rohit Sharma, the Hitman, is such an incredible leader as well, so it’s a tough choice, but I’m going to be bold and I’m going to pick Dhoni as a Captain and Coach as well. He started in 2008, Shane Warne was captain and coach, and he took the franchise, the double R’s, to a title that year, and I just feel that MS Dhoni can also be a coach,” Hayden said.

Legacy in Indian Premier League (IPL)

Dhoni’s captaincy legacy in the IPL is unparalleled, having led the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to five titles. In 2023, he equaled Rohit Sharma‘s record of most IPL wins as a captain, securing the championship fifth time in a final-ball thriller against the Gujarat Titans (GT).
