Kavya Maran Criticizes MS Dhoni’s Uncapped Status in IPL 2025
Sunrisers Hyderabad owner Kavya Maran has strongly criticized the proposal to list MS Dhoni as an uncapped player in the IPL 2025 mega auction. Maran argued that this decision would not only insult Dhoni but also set a problematic precedent for future auctions. She voiced her concerns over the suggestion that players who have been retired from international cricket for five or more years should be classified as uncapped players in the auction.
Concerns Raised Over New Auction Rule
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently met with IPL franchise owners to discuss rules for the IPL 2025 auction. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) proposed including retired international players as uncapped players if they have been retired for over five years. This suggestion aims to give teams more flexibility in retaining former players.

Maran’s Objections
Kavya Maran opposed this proposal, stating that labeling retired players uncapped diminishes their value and status. She emphasized that it would be unfair if an uncapped player, who has never played international cricket, ended up earning more than a former international star. Maran believes this would undermine the value of experienced players like Dhoni and could lead to unfair treatment of such cricketers in the auction process.
