There was a lot of commotion in the meeting of BCCI and team owners
A few days ago, a meeting was held between BCCI officials and team owners in Mumbai. There was a lot of uproar in this meeting. IPL 2024 finalists Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders were against the mega auction. They believed that it took them many years to build their team and the mega auction could upset this balance. At the same time, Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings, who have not yet won the IPL trophy, were in favor of the mega auction so that they can improve their team.
There was also a debate on retention and impact player rules
There was a dispute between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings regarding retention. 4 to 8 players can be retained in the mega auction, while there is no such limit in the mini auction. The impact player rule was also discussed. Players and coaches are not in favor of continuing this rule, while broadcasters want to retain it. The BCCI has not yet taken any final decision on this.
