Long after everyone had left the stadium, Rahul Dravid called the players out for one final huddle on the pitch which lasted for close to 30 minutes.

UPDATE: Package C bidding underway and it has crossed Rs 17 crore even as there is still some confusion over TV rights winner. It surely not Viacom, which has bagged digital rights.
Selectors likely to pick impressive IPL performers like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Vekatesh Iyer, Harshal Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal for NZ T20Is, unlikely to announce Test squad now.

Package C closes at 33.24 crore, yes, 33.24, mindbogglingly more than 100 per cent of its base price and more than the base price of original digital pack. Will have to wait if there will be a rebid and challenge.

The outcome of the proceedings so far is there is a winner for the television rights and the name is yet to be known. As the TV winner has a right to challenge the highest bid digital, there is a chance of a rebid, which will start at 1.51 PM
TV winner has been identified I guess but digital winner is still not certain. Because TV winner has the right to challenge Digital winner. So the digital fight will go on now, unless of course both are same. Stay tuned. Will find out
Sunrisers Hyderabad have confirmed that Simon Katich left his post as assistant coach due to bio-security restrictions and family issues.

BCCI doesn't need money generated out of Indo-Pak ties. ICC, ACC need, to distribute to members who survive on such grants, including Pak. BCCI doesn't... Ur othr point if India shud play Pak reglarly is a different subject. No hypocrisy from Indian side, it's been consistent.
A lot of people have reacted strongly (both ways) to my tweet where I asked a simple Qs: should India have gone and played Asia Cup in Pakistan who are the hosts instead of insisting on playing in rain soaked Sri Lanka? I agree that any support by Pakistani state to cross border
The outcome of the proceedings so far is there is a winner for the television rights and the name is yet to be known. As the TV winner has a right to challenge the highest bid digital, there is a chance of a rebid, which will start at 1.51 PM
Bidding ends for the day with TV at 57 cr and Digital at 48 for an overall total of 105 cr per game. True value will be in 410 multiples. Rs 43,050 cr and counting.

ICC UPDATE: The bidding is over, no 2nd round, the ICC will make an announcement only tomorrow after it takes it to he board. But yes, the big takeaway is there is no second round and there is a winner.
#ICCMediaRights
Information has crazy slow coming. Hearing the bidding may be over, there may be a winner. Which means it is not going into second round. Stay tuned for more information.

Auction resumes at 1.51 PM. Once the rebidding for B is done, there will be a two hour gap for the next two packages to go under the hammer. Likely there is some more time left for everything to finish...
Factually incorrect. SL cricket cant survive without BCCI support. It makes money from India series, from TV rights from Sony Sports. arjuna was great captain bt has no knowledge of latest. An insane ramble. It's a fashion to blame BCCI for ills of the world.

"Jay Shah is running Sri Lanka Cricket. SLC is being ruined because of pressure from Jay Shah. One man in India is ruining Sri Lankan cricket," says Arjuna Ranatunga, Sri Lanka’s 1996 World Cup winning captain, linking the BCCI secretary to their cricket struggles

One obvious fallout is if it is Sony, there is unlikely to be a challenge to the winner of digital package. As Sony is not a major digital player. Whoever has bagged the digital rights can be safe I think

#IPLMediaRights
A SMALL CORRECTION: Package C paused at Rs 18.75 crore. MBI for this package is Rs 25 lakh. Point of interest is who wins it and whether Jio/Viacom/Voot will challenger the winner or they only will have bagged it themselves. A mad mad mad digital world.

The downside to Yashasvi Jaiswal knock is there is too much dependence on this 23-year-old opener who has played only 5 Tests. In both the Tests India depended on him for runs; there is no one supporting him. Too much dependence on young shoulders.

Don't know about great: he encourages Indian journalists to fight back at the imagined foe, when journalists aren't supposed to be cheerleaders. But I'm sure there's a bit of truth 🙂
Also to further clarify there won't be any shootout or blitz chess in Round Two as the challenge round is called. It will be a normal process with a 30-minute gap between each bid
Auction resumes at 1.51 PM. Once the rebidding for B is done, there will be a two hour gap for the next two packages to go under the hammer. Likely there is some more time left for everything to finish...
Heard some conversation that BCCI is producing the world feed. It is the case with bilateral games. The World Cup is produced by Disney Star. ICC is the Executive Producer. It uses Star as its production partner under its direct supervision and planning.
