When Pant and Rahul are standing on the field, their fate will be decided miles away

IPL Mega Auction: The Indian cricket team is facing a difficult phase at the moment. After the humiliating 0-3 defeat in the home Test series against New Zealand, the weaknesses of Team India have come to the fore. The challenges of the team are not over yet, as now it has to tour Australia. Playing on the fast and bouncy pitches of Australia is challenging for any team, and this time this tour looks even more difficult for Team India.

Perth Test amid IPL auction

Meanwhile, an interesting situation is that when the Indian team will be playing the first Test in Perth, Australia from November 22, then there will also be a mega auction for IPL 2025 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, thousands of kilometers away. The BCCI recently announced that the IPL auction will be held in Jeddah on November 24 and 25. The timing of this two-day auction can be challenging for the Indian players, as it can affect their performance and mindset.

Will the auction affect the Perth Test?

There are many players in the Indian squad selected for the Australia tour, who are part of the IPL auction. These include prominent names like Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Washington Sundar, Mohammad Siraj, Sarfaraz Khan. These players playing in the Perth Test should be completely focused on the match, but at the same time when bids are being made for their IPL career and the upcoming season, there will be a possibility of distraction. The question is, will the players be able to keep themselves completely away from this auction environment, so that they can give 100 percent in their game?

Mental pressure and effect on performance

Players' performance can often come under pressure during the IPL auction. Many of these players can be included in the playing eleven of the Perth Test. Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul are considered certain to play. In such a situation, during the auction, thoughts of their team, new contract and possible price may come to the player's mind. There is also a possibility that if the players are unable to perform well in the Perth Test, they may face criticism on social media, and they may be accused of being distracted by the IPL auction.

Decision on the fate of players

The fate of many players of the Indian team is going to be decided in this auction. Some new players, whose good performance has made them a part of the auction, may see an increase in their price. The timing of the auction can affect both experienced and young players. This can prove to be a big test for the players to avoid getting distracted in an important match like the Perth Test. It is a challenge to maintain focus in such an environment, especially when along with the game, the players will also be thinking about the future of their careers.

Questions on BCCI's decision

BCCI conducting the auction at this time can cause controversy for some players and cricket fans. This decision of BCCI can affect the performance of the players, and it can prove to be adverse for the Indian team. The right selection of the time of auction could have a positive impact on the performance of the team, but this time it is expected to be the opposite.

Conclusion

The Indian team going on Australia tour will face the mental pressure of IPL auction along with the pressure related to the game. It is very important for these players to maintain focus on their game in this difficult time. The Indian team needs discipline and mental strength at this time so that they can perform strongly against Australia. The Indian team will have to unite and fight this challenge and play to their full potential, so that they can perform better in Australia.
