IPL 2022 Retentions: Where and when to watch Live, what to expect

All the eyes would be set on the TV screen at 09:30 PM Indian Standard Time as that is exactly when the list of the retained players is going to be announced by the eight existing franchises of the Indian Premier League. The retention will be broadcast live on the official broadcaster of the IPL, Star Sports Network and can be live-streamed on Hotstar in India. 

All eight teams can retain a maximum of four players and a minimum of no player. Out of the four players, only two can be foreigners and a maximum of three could be Indians. After the retention is announced, the remaining players who have not been retained by their team can then be picked up by the two new teams. 

The two new teams can pre-sign (sign player before the auction) a maximum of three players each out of which only two could be Indians and not more than one foreigner is to be signed by the side. The two new teams, whose names have yet not been announced were bought by RPS Group and CVC Capital to represent the cities of Lucknow and Ahmedabad respectively. 

The new teams would get a window of 25 days, which would start from November 30 and go on till December 24 to sign their three players and the announcement for the same would be made on December 25 most probably. 

We at OneCricket and CricketExchange have already predicted the probable retentions you can check them out here.

It’s just a matter of one inning: Rahul Dravid confident of Rahane getting back in form

Newly appointed Indian coach Rahul Dravid is not worried about the form of Ajinkya Rahane, the vice-captain of the team. He is expecting Rahane to get back in form and feels that he is a quality player who is just one inning away from hitting his way home. "I don't get worried, you don't get worried. Of course, you would like more runs from Ajinkya. I am sure he would like a few more runs. He is a quality player. He has done well for India in the past. He is one of those guys who has that quality,” Dravid said in the post-match press conference after the end of the 1st Test in Kanpur. “He has the experience. Hopefully, it's just a matter of an innings, a matter of a game where he can turn it around. Certainly, he would like to score more runs. He knows that. And we know that” Dravid added further. The performance of Shreyas Iyer in which he became the only Indian player to hit a century and a half-century on debut in Tests has made things difficult for coach Dravid to select the playing XI. Virat Kohli in whose place Iyer played, will be back and hence to accommodate both an opener, most likely Mayank Agarwal would have to make way, but Dravid refused to comment on it. "We haven't decided the playing XI for Mumbai. It will be too early to talk about it. We have only been thinking about this Test till now,” he said. “When we get to Bombay, we will look at the conditions, the pitch. We will look at the guys' fitness. Virat Kohli will also join us so there will be consultation with him. Then we will decide who will be in the playing XI,” the coach added signalling that the captain Kohli would have a larger say in how the combination looks like in the all-important second Test. The series which starts the World Test Championship 2021-23 circle for defending champions New Zealand is now tied at 0-0 with one game to go.

BAN vs PAK | Abid Ali misses out on consecutive centuries but guides Pakistan to easy win

Chasing more than 200 in a Test match is a dangerous proposition and in the subcontinent, it becomes even more precarious given the amount of turn that the pitches offer. However, for Pakistan openers, it turned out to be a walk in the park as they chased down the target of 203 set up by the Bangladeshi team in the fourth innings with much ease. Abid Ali and Abdullah Shafique, the two openers played a great role in the victory as they did not give even a window of opportunity for the Bangladeshi bowlers to make inroads. Taking a leaf out of their first innings partnership of 146, the duo stitched together 151 this time around. They remained unbeaten on the fourth day, making the fifth day just a formality as only 93 runs were required for the win. Bangladesh, on the other end, might have harboured hopes of getting back into the game on the last day with their spin duo of Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taijul Islam. However, it took too late for them to come to action and even as Mehidy broke the opening partnership by removing Shafique for 73. Tailjul also removed Abid for 91, but by that time Pakistan required only 31 runs to win. Skipper Babar Azam and senior Azhar Ali made sure that the target was reached without any further breaches. Earlier Bangladesh, even after claiming 44 runs lead in the first innings courtesy of Islam’s brilliant 7-116 spell, wasn’t able to capitalise on it and could only make 157 in their second innings. Even getting to that would have been difficult if it wasn’t for the half-century from Liton Das as the rest of the batters literally threw their wickets away. Courtesy of this win, the Pakistani team moved to second position in the Points Table of the World Test Championship 2021-23. They have 66.66 Percentage of Points courtesy of two wins from three completed games. Sri Lanka lead the table with one win from one match.
