Pace sensation Mayank Yadav and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy made their debut for the Indian cricket team during the first T20I encounter against Bangladesh in Gwalior on Sunday. Mayank expressed everyone with his express pace during the IPL 2024 as he bowled the fastest delivery of the competition at 156.7 Kmph. Reddy also had a good campaign in the competition as he excelled with both bat and ball for Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, their debuts will have a massive impact on IPL 2025 auction.
According to the new IPL retention rules announced by the BCCI, uncapped players can be retained for a considerably lower price than the capped ones. With Mayank and Nitish both playing their first matches for India, the youngster will no longer be considered uncapped with respect to the IPL retentions.
As a result, Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad will now have to spend at least Rs 11 crore if they want to retain Mayank and Nitish respectively ahead of the IPL 2025 auction.
