According to a report in the Indian Express, the IPL 2025 retention rules are expected to be announced this week, with teams likely allowed to retain five players without the Right To Match (RTM) option.

This has raised questions about how teams will navigate retaining their core players, as limiting retention to five would force franchises to part with the majority of their squad. At the same time, a viral social media post has captured widespread interest, fueling further discussion.

The post reads, “Rishabh Pant approached RCB. Pant approached RCB through his manager earlier this week as he foresee a captaincy vacancy there but got declined by RCB’s management. Virat doesn’t want Pant in RCB due to his Political Tactics in the Indian team as well as in DC – RCB Source.”

However, Rishabh Pant has publicly addressed the situation, dismissing it as false information.

“Fake news . Why do you guys spread so much fake news on social media. Be sensible guys so bad . Don’t create untrustworthy environment for no reason. It’s not the first time and won’t be last but I had to put this out .please always re check with your so called sources. Everyday it’s becoming worst . Rest it’s upto you guys . It’s wasn’t just for you it’s for a lot for people who is spreading misinformation. Tc”

Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh expressed that he wishes India’s wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant were part of the Australian team.

“He’s a ripping bloke. I wish he was Australian. He’s obviously been through a lot over the last few years, and it’s been a hell of a comeback. He’s a positive guy, still really young, and he loves winning. He’s highly competitive for someone who has the persona of being relaxed and always laughing and smiling. He’s got that big smile,” Marsh told Star Sports
