IPL 2026 Mini Auction: Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting will not be able to be present in the mini auction of Indian Premier League 2026 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on December 16, 2025. Ponting, who joined Punjab Kings as head coach last year, has very little hope of going to the mini auction for IPL 2026. Actually, Ponting is currently in Australia and is associated with the broadcast channel as a commentator in the Ashes series.

Why will Ponting not come in the mini auction?

According to a report, Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting is under contract with Seven Network for commentary in the Ashes series being held in Australia. The third match of the series between Australia and England is to be played in Adelaide from December 17, hence Ponting will not be able to participate in the auction. In the absence of Ponting, Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer is expected to participate in the auction. Iyer is out of Team India due to injury.

News came out in Cricbuzz report

According to the report of Cricbuzz, the franchises have given the names of their representatives to BCCI for the auction, the last date of which was December 10. BCCI sources have revealed that Punjab Kings have included the name of captain Shreyas Iyer in their list. According to BCCI and auction guidelines, a maximum of eight team members can be present inside the auction hall. At the same time, six more people from the team can remain outside. According to sources, if there is no change in the plans at the last moment, then Shreyas Iyer is expected to be present in the auction to be held in Abu Dhabi.

Earlier, Gautam Gambhir had participated in the IPL auction as the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders and Rishabh Pant was also seen leading their delegation in the IPL 2024 auction for Delhi Capitals.

A big update has come on the injury of Indian ODI team vice-captain Shreyas Iyer. Iyer suffered a stomach injury in the last ODI on the Australia tour. According to the latest information, Iyer has also been ruled out of the ODI series against New Zealand in January. However, Punjab Kings can heave a sigh of relief as the report suggests that he may be fit before IPL 2026.

Shreyas Iyer has made a great comeback after serious injuries in the past also. When Iyer returned after shoulder pain, he scored a century on his Test debut. Iyer, who returned fit after back surgery, performed brilliantly in the ODI World Cup 2023. Iyer was injured while fielding in the third ODI against Australia. He was admitted to a Sydney hospital after he was diagnosed with internal bleeding under the ribs (in the spleen). Right now he is in Mumbai and his next ultrasound is to be done this week.

Update on Shreyas Iyer’s injury

According to India Today report, Iyer’s next ultrasound scan is to be done this week. This will be an important test that will determine the next phase of his recovery. The scan will be reviewed by top specialist Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala, who is supervising the case. Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala also looked after Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja and many other star cricketers during their injuries. If medical clearance is given, Iyer will immediately go to the BCCI Center of Excellence (COE) in Bengaluru to begin structured rehabilitation.

Shreyas Iyer can currently only do normal daily activities and basic isometric exercises. Iyer is prohibited from doing any activity that increases pressure inside the stomach. Only after the next round of scans will he be allowed to resume cricket-related skills like batting, fielding and strength work. Initial estimates said that Iyer would recover in 2 months, but considering the seriousness of the injury, it is necessary to be cautious.

Will Shreyas Iyer play in IPL 2026?

Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer can make a comeback in the beginning of IPL 2026. Under his captaincy, Punjab reached the final last year. The news that is available now is good for Punjab that Iyer can be completely fit before the IPL.

6th December has always been a special day in the Indian cricket calendar. There is a long and powerful list of cricketers born on this date. It is rare to see so many international cricketers born on the same day. Those names too, which have been the best in their respective eras. This date is even more interesting in Indian cricket, because not one or two, but five Indian cricketers celebrate their birthday on 6th December.

5 big names of Team India

Three current stars of Team India, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja and Shreyas Iyer celebrate their birthday on this day. These three players have been in the category of match-winners for Indian cricket in the last years.

• Jadeja will celebrate his 37th birthday this time.
• Bumrah will be 32 years old.
• Iyer will celebrate his 31st birthday.

Apart from these, Karun Nair, who scored a triple century for India, and RP Singh, who played an important role in India’s victory in the 2007 T20 World Cup, were both born on this day. Meaning, birthdays of five Indian players in one day, which is a record in itself.

Foreign cricketers also make this list strong

6th December does not shine only with Indian names. Many foreign stars are also born on this date. The biggest name among them is Andrew Flintoff, England’s legendary all-rounder, who created history with his performance in the 2005 Ashes. Apart from this, Pakistan’s batsman Nasir Jamshed, New Zealand’s all-rounder Glenn Phillips, and Ireland’s young star Harry Tector also celebrate their birthday on this day.

These players have such a mix of batting, bowling and all-round ability that by combining them a strong international playing-11 can be prepared.

Special playing-11 on 6th December

If the team is made only on the basis of date of birth, then the team of 6th December will look like this,

Nasser Jamshed (Pakistan), Shaun Irvine (Zimbabwe), Shreyas Iyer (India), Harry Tector (Ireland), Karun Nair (India), Glenn Phillips (New Zealand), Andrew Flintoff (England), Ravindra Jadeja (India), Jasprit Bumrah (India), Dewald Pretorius (South Africa), RP Singh (India).

Rituraj Gaikwad has returned to the playing eleven of the ODI team for the first time since December 2023. In the first ODI match against South Africa, he could not capitalize on the opportunity and was out after scoring only 8 runs. But in the second ODI match played in Raipur, he scored a century of 105 runs in 83 balls. This is the first century of his ODI career. In fact, even after this century, the chances of Gaikwad getting a confirmed place in the playing eleven are slim. You will also be shocked to know the reason for this.

Will Gaikwad be out?

When the Indian ODI squad against South Africa was announced, captain Shubman Gill and vice-captain Shreyas Iyer were not there. On one hand, Yashasvi Jaiswal has got a chance to open in place of injured Gill, on the other hand, vice-captain Shreyas Iyer plays at number-4, Rituraj Gaikwad has got a chance at this position in both the matches against South Africa. But when Iyer returns to the team, Gaikwad’s place in the playing eleven will be in danger.

Can you get a chance at some other position?

If we look at the first five batting order of the Indian team, they are solid. Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul play on these. Only the sixth order is left for batting, because usually the all-rounder player plays at the 7th order. But with Washington Sundar getting continuous opportunities and Ravindra Jadeja being in the squad, Rituraj Gaikwad will not be able to make a place in the playing eleven.

Looking at all these aspects, it is not wrong to say that even after the century inning of 105 runs in Raipur, Gaikwad’s place in the playing eleven is not safe. Gaikwad may sit out after Shreyas Iyer’s return from injury.
