Protests erupt outside Kasba Police station as 3 arrested in alleged Kolkata college gang rape
In a high-stakes IPL 2025 retention event, top names like KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli are under intense scrutiny as franchises decide their future in the league. Key players are anticipated to be retained at record-breaking prices, with one of them potentially setting a new benchmark as the costliest player ever retained in IPL history.
Multiple media reports have claimed that SunRisers Hyderabad have retained wicketkeeper-batter Heinrich Klaasen for Rs 23 crore. If this news turns out to be true, Klaasen would script history by becoming the costliest player ever retained in IPL history. He will break the record of Virat Kohli, who is currently the costliest retained player with figure of Rs 18 crore ahead of IPL 2018 auction.
5 PM is the deadline for all the franchises to submit their list of retentions.
