@ErikaMorris79 The 5.25 Cr is a season price negotiated, so his per match will be pro rated based on that, not just the playoffs. Also, it's higher than most partly because of reimbursing their county contract and penalty clauses.

Assuming Mumbai qualify and assuming they win the eliminator, qualifier 2 and then get to the final, Jonny will be paid £166,000 PER MATCH🤯🤯 Absolutely mental #IPL2025

João Félix going on loan should immediately cause some heads to roll internally. You cannot spend €57m on a player, hand them a 7-YEAR contract, and then send them on loan 6 months later because they aren't good enough. Where is the accountability?

It's time for Rohit to say goodbye to Test Cricket. Pray for Rain, folks 🙈☔️⛈️

He might be thinking it's the Carolina Panthers and not UNC, perhaps? 😂 Weird appointment and move for a coach of that stature, specially the way CFB is going with NIL, etc.

In a honest world, he would’ve won that 8th with Mercedes. That day in 2021 will forever haunt me. Goodbye, Lewis 💔

@cfcedithh Yeah, imagine winning the PL with Leicester and then competing with Bakayoko for a spot in the Carabao Cup team. KDH better but lets see! Can see loan move and moving to Everton kinda club in 2 years

@MannyMB9 Kinda....poor guy, people respected him so much when he was at Leicester ab gaali khaaraha bichara :)

KDH was better at Leicester should have stayed there only 🥲

Incredible stuff. A very RR/Zubin pick through and through.

Arshin being unsold is disappointing. Pooran thought he was absolute gun in the nets last season at LSG and needs to be nurtured

@SAAdvantage I'd make Pant open, best position for him imo! Starting 12 acc to me: Pant, Markram, Marsh, Pooran, Badoni, Miller, Samad, Shabaz, Avesh, Bishnoi, Mohsin/Akash, Mayank given the current squad.

Just catching up with today's action at the IPL Auction, had some appointments this morning. LSG need openers GT and KKR need a top order batter RCB ideally need another LHB number 3 Rajasthan with a few domestic gaps too Rough idea of how each team is looking:

Surprised RR not going for Bethell

@IndianMourinho They've gambled on Jurel at 6 and Shubham Dubey to come in as impact. I think they're a quality Indian spinner short, which forces them to play 2 OS Spinners.

RR are a quality batter short.

Interesting Next 3 sets coming up. Expecting a bidding war for Jacks & David!

But Hardik will be running in for the 1st over from the Garware End!

DC can thank RCB for setting up such a solid XI the auctions so far. If RCB would have pushed DC till 17-18 for KL (given they bid 23 for Venky Iyer), this team could have looked quite different! DC had to go for KL after missing on Shreyas/Pant. #IPLAuction

@peeyushsharmaa Great pick by MI, they haven't had quality spin since Rahul Chahar's 1/2 outlier seasons.

As expected, it’s MI who pick Allah Ghazanfar - a team which very rarely invests on an OS spinner. The last time they picked was Akila Dhananjaya in 2018, which speaks a lot about Ghazanfar’s skills. #ipl2025auction

@S_Agarwal0402 Big mistake to let both Theekshana & Hasaranga go to RR yesterday.

Mumbai need 3 more players for their first 12: 2 spinners and a finisher. 2 of these can be overseas, which is a decent position to be in. The marquee spinner is definitely the priority now.

Players to watch out for today in the #IPLAuction : Nitish Rana, Bhuvi, Deepak Chahar, Washi, Krunal, Jacks, Jansen, Curran, Tim David, Allah Ghazanfar

15. PBKS spent the big bucks but secured the 2 best Indian bowlers (Arshdeep, Yuzi) along with a captain in Shreyas. Stoinis, Wadhera & Thakur are great pickups too! Need 2 Overseas starting players today. #IPLAuction #IPLAuction2025

13. I think GT missed a trick not RTM'ing Miller but have a solid bowling attack with Rashid, Siraj, Krishna, Rabada. Need Middle Order Batting at #4/5. May see them in a bidding war with teams for Jacks 14. SRH have a solid team put together but with 5 Cr, backups will be tough

My thoughts on Day 1 of the #IPLAuction : 1. Prices seem quite inflated for Premium Indian talent but good to see Indians picking up most of the bag 2. Lots of talent still to come in this auction and not a lot of money going around #IPLAuction2025
