Shah Rukh Khan in heated chat with Punjab Kings owner at IPL meeting. Report makes big claim

Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was involved in a heated argument with Punjab Kings co-owner Ness Wadia during the IPL owners’ meeting at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai on Wednesday, from according to a report from Cricbuzz. The report alleged that the two owners did not agree on the number of retainers each side should receive before the mega-auction. While SRK was not convinced that there should be a mega auction before IPL 2025, Wadia was all for a complete overhaul. The report further stated that Wadia felt that there should be very less withholdings for each side – a point that did not sit well with Shah Rukh Khan.

The other owners who attended the meetings were – Kiran Kumar Grandhi of Delhi Capitals, Sanjiv Goenka of Lucknow Super Giants, Rupa Gurunath of Chennai Super Kings, Kavya Maran of SunRisers Hyderabad and Manoj Badale of Rajasthan Royals. Few winning Indian Premier League (IPL) teams, including the Ambanis of Mumbai Indians, participated in the BCCI meeting through video conferencing.

Meanwhile, during the previous season of this year’s IPL, there were over 250 totals, including the total of 287 runs posted by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), the highest ever in the league’s history.

Several critics, players and pundits have expressed their dissatisfaction with the Impact Player rule, blaming it for an unprecedented six hits and stunting the growth of all-rounders, as teams often opt to use a pure batsman/pitcher in this role, instead of a whole. -round.

This rule was introduced in the 2023 season and allows players to choose an extra specialist batsman/pitcher depending on the situation. Nine of the ten highest totals in league history occurred after the introduction of this rule, highlighting the freedom, power and flexibility it adds to teams.

Although the rule was intended to expose more Indian players, especially uncapped players, it was criticized by players and experts this season, with Indian captain Rohit Sharma even expressing that he was not a big fan of the rule as it did not allow for the development of all-rounders, a vital aspect in T20Is for India.
