RJ Mahvash Buys Cricket Team In This League, Captain Is Ex-IPL Star
The auction for the inaugural CLT10 (Cricket League T10), a three-day tennis ball cricket tournament, took place in Delhi recently. Notable TV personalities like Sunny Leone and Prince Narula were present at the auction, having invested in teams. Influencer RJ Mahvash, who has been linked with Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, also acquired a team at the auction. Mahvash entered the cricket ownership business as she bought the Supreme Strikers team, which will be led by former Australia opener Shaun Marsh. Mahvash was seen sporting a cream-coloured matching top and skirt set at the event. She also took to Instagram to share some sneak peeks from the auction, highlighting her commitment to her new role as a team owner. "Team RJ Mahvash locked with Captain Shaun Marsh," Mahvash captioned a post on Instagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mahvash (@ Recently, Chahal, during a chat on Raj Shamani's podcast, was asked if anything is going on with Mahvash or anyone else. To which, the cricketer replied, "No, there's nothing. People can think whatever they want to think." "For the first time, when I was seen with someone, people started linking us right away. Even though she clarified it, it was very hard for her. She was called a homewrecker... people said really nasty things. I felt terrible... We could not step out together," he added Talking about their pictures from a Christmas dinner, Yuzvendra stated that it was blown out of proportion. "We had a Christmas dinner with five people, but the photo was cropped to make it look like just the two of us were on a dinner date. It got to a point where we couldn't even go out with friends without worrying about what people would say," he said. Though Chahal hasn't represented India since August 2023, he continues to be active in domestic cricket and the IPL. Chahal's latest competitive matches were for Northamptonshire in the County Championship, where he picked up four wickets against Kent in the first innings but went wicketless in the second. He had a similar outcome against Middlesex. In IPL 2025, Chahal played an important role for the Punjab Kings, claiming 16 wickets in 14 matches at an average of 26.87.

photoDetails english 2940531 Rishabh Pant was picked by the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for a whopping amount of Rs 27 crore in the 2025 IPL auction. However, the 27-year-old Pant failed to live up to the expectations in the IPL 2025 season, scoring just 269 runs in 14 matches in his first stint as LSG captain. Despite his underwhelming performance, LSG are likely to persist with Pant for IPL 2026 season. However, LSG are expected to make strategic realignments before the next season. The Lucknow-based franchise might consider releasing some under-performing players before the IPL 2026 auction and buy some impactful performers.

He was given the finisher role in LSG for IPL 2025 but he flattered to deceive, scoring just 153 runs in 11 matches. Given his form, age and salary, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) might consider releasing David Miller before the IPL 2026 auction and buy some another finisher. (Pic credit: IANS) David Miller's IPL Record 4 / 8 David Miller, who has played for multiple teams in IPL, has scored 3077 runs in 141 matches with an average of 35.77 and strike rate of 138.60 so far. (Pic credit: IANS) 3. Akash Deep 5 / 8 India pacer Akash Deep was bought by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for Rs 8 crore in IPL 2025 auction in Saudi Arabia. However, he didn't perform up to the expectations, picking just 3 wickets in 6 matches with a poor economy rate of 12.25 during the IPL 2025 season. Considering his ordinary performance and good salary, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) might consider releasing Akash Deep before the IPL 2026 auction and buy some another pacer. (Pic credit: IANS) Akash Deep's IPL Record 6 / 8 Akash Deep, who is part of the India squad during the ongoing England tour, has picked 10 wickets in 14 matches in his IPL career so far.

However, Shahbaz played just three matches during IPL 2025 season and didn't contribute much with bat and ball. Given the lack of trust in Shahbaz's ability, LSG might consider releasing him before the IPL 2026 auction. (Pic credit: X) Shahbaz Ahmed's IPL Record 8 / 8 Shahbaz Ahmed, a versatile left-handed batter and slow left-arm orthodox bowler, has scored 545 runs in 58 IPL matches so far.
