After which former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar commented that Australia have the culture to win at all cost and in order to do so their players tend to break the fine line between cheating and gamesmanship. Aussies tell India that they will not cross the line but what their line is no one knows, told Gavaskar.

Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar has hit out at Australian culture to win at all the costs and said, “Their attitude over the years has been most different from other teams where they look to win at all cost. There is a fine line between breaking the rule and bending the rule. And their (culture) review told the world that their administrators did nothing about it,”

Gavaskar added and said, “Australians coming in and engaging in abuse, I have never understood that. That’s why now when they are losing, everyone is laughing. While even the Windies team is struggling, everyone wants them to come up. That’s the difference. That’s why people liked the West Indies team that won so much. Even Australia had a team that dominated for more than a decade but no one liked them for the way they played,”

The IPL Auction 2019 is all set to take place on December 18 in Jaipur. Franchises have already submitted their list of players retained and released from their squad but this it is high time that franchises should determine the player requirements of their squads.

In an IPL Auction, the base prices are set by the players themselves. The maximum base price which a player can set for himself is 2 crores and the minimum base price is 20 lakhs.

In IPL 12, the franchises are allowed to spend a maximum of 82 crores on developing a squad. The ideal base price that some great Australian players can set for themselves is- Glenn Maxwell (2 crores), Aaron Finch (2 crores) and Mitchell Starc (1 crore). While New Zealand’s Brendon McCullum can set his base price as 1.5 crores.

All-rounder Glenn Maxwell was released by the Delhi Daredevils following a bad season in 2018. Maxwell is one of the finest players who can fetch a big amount in the auction. He is a regular in T20 international cricket for Australia and is in good form. He is considered as a big destroyer when he is at his best form in T20 cricket. So, Maxwell can afford to keep his base price at the highest 2 crores and could even get a big amount.

Aaron Finch, just like his fellow Maxwell is one of the most destructive strikers in the shortest format of the game. He has the highest individual score at an international level in T20 cricket. He was shockingly released by the Kings XI Punjab after his last season’s performance. He is a huge name in the world of T20 cricket and so his ideal base price of 2 crores is very apt.

Australia’s Mitchell Starc is now ready to come back to the IPL after missing three seasons due to injuries. He is the premier fast bowlers in the world. But Starc is unlikely to attract profitable bids because of his damage in the past. So, his base price of 1 crore is apt and it is hard that IPL teams will exceed his base price.

Moreover, New Zealand’s Brendon McCullum can set his base price as 1.5 crores. Ahead of IPL 2019, the Royal Challengers Bangalore vid him farewell. He is the most destructive opener in T20 cricket. Though he is a retired international player he plays almost every T20 league across the world, so he can attract a lot of bids. His base price of 1.5 crores is fair.

The IPL Auction 2019 is about to take place on December 18 in Jaipur. Franchises have already retained their core squad and released some players but now it is high time that they should ascertain the player requirements of their squads.

In an Auction, the base prices are set by the players themselves. The maximum base price a player can set for himself is 2 crores and minimum base price as per the revised rules is 20 lakhs.

In IPL 2019, the teams are allowed to spend a maximum of 82 crores on building a squad. The ideal base price that some Indian players can set for themselves is- Axar Patel (2 crores), Jaydev Unadkat (1.5 crores), Mohammed Shami (1.5 crores), Mohit Sharma (1 crore)

Axar Patel ahead of IPL 2019 was surprisingly excluded from the Kings XI Punjab. He is a good T20 player who has been performing well over the years. Every team would like to have a player like him in their squad. So, his base price of 2 crores seems correctly justified.

Jaydev Unadkat was bought by the Rajasthan Royals in the 2018 IPL auction for ₹11.5 crores who was the most expensive Indian cricketer in the auction but he failed to live up to the expectations and was released ahead of IPL 2019. Franchises are interested in Unadkat and his value is much higher than a few other Indian seamers. So, his base price of 2 crores seems quite fair.

Delhi Daredevils released Mohammed Shami and he will be looking for a new team at the IPL auction 2018. He is very impressive Test bowler but his record in T20 cricket hasn’t been great. He may not be a big name in T20 format but he is an Indian capped seamer with a wealth of experience that can afford him a base price of 1.5 crores.

Mohit Sharma was first signed by Chennai Super Kings for the 2013 edition of the IPL and was brought again by CSK in the 2014 IPL auction for 2 crores after finding himself in auction pool. Ahead of IPL 2019, Mohit Sharma was released by Kings XI Punjab. The capped Indian has not played international cricket in three years. A base price of 1 crore seems apt for the Indian pacer.

The former Indian women skipper Mithali Raj was being dropped in one of the crucial matches of the World cup quite controversially. The board administrators seemed to interfere in the team selection process.

Mithali Raj wrote a letter to the BCCI regarding a treatment given to her in return of all the services she has given to the nation.

Mithali Raj wrote a harsh letter to the BCCI in which she accused coach Ramesh Powar of ‘humiliating’ her and Committee of Administrators member Diana Edulji of ‘using her position against her’. After her explosive letter, Dhoni’s case has complicated the situation even more.

The Men in blue clinched the Asia Cup 2018 title and have established themselves as the champions. A shocking fact has come to the limelight after months of the tournament’s completion.

In one of the super four matches between India and Afghanistan, MS Dhoni captained Team India. Rohit Sharma was appointed as the captain for the Aisa Cup in the absence of the regular Captain Virat Kohli while Shikhar Dhawan was appointed as the vice-captain.

When both Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan deciding to opt out of the match against Afghanistan to take rest, the responsibility to lead fell on the senior most and experienced player MS Dhoni.

However, recent reports have revealed that an official Stopped MS Dhoni From Captaining in Asia Cup 2018. Here is what the source said to Times of India.

Source revealed, “In the match against Afghanistan, Rohit Sharma rested himself and the Indian team management decided to hand over the captaincy to MS Dhoni because of his seniority and also as a special gesture. A senior BCCI administrator, however, kept insisting that appointing MS would’ve been a regressive step and said the next senior most cricketer should lead the side. So, all this talk about outsiders not interfering is absolute nonsense. The administrator refused to give MS the captaincy which was very weird given his experience.”

The report also mentioned that the BCCI administrator also intervened in team matters and ensured that a Grade C cricketer was handed a Grade B contract.

Some relatively unknown Indian players who can attract huge bids in IPL Auction 2019 may include Shivam Dubey, CV Varun, and Milind Kumar. Shivam Dubey is a young Mumbai all-rounder and he plays in the domestic circuit over the last couple of seasons. He has been a consistent performer and has the ability to play in pressure.

C.V. Varun can mix the carrom ball and the leg-cutter with his off-spinners can be the surprise pick in the upcoming auctions. He was the part of the Tamil Nadu Premier League and is known for his consistency and accuracy. He is mystery spinner and has the ability to pick up wickets.

Milind Kumar plays for Delhi in domestic cricket. In the ongoing Ranji Trophy Milind Kumar scored 261, 224, 133 and 61 with an aggregate of 679 runs in the matches so far. In the IPL Season 7 Auction, he was bought by Delhi Daredevils for INR 10 Lakh.

Ahead of the 2018–19 Ranji Trophy, Milind transferred from Delhi to Sikkim as he was not getting enough chances for Delhi. He maintains high intensity at the crease and his strokes are pleasing in nature.
