Kohli and Sharma Shine as BCCI Reveals Player Contracts

BCCI announces player retainership with Kohli and Sharma maintaining top contracts, while Iyer and Kishan make comebacks.

BCCI has announced its annual player retainership for the 2024-25 season, highlighting the continued prominence of senior players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who have both retained their A+ contracts. Shreyas Iyer has made a notable return to the list, earning a Grade B contract after his stellar performance in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, where he was the second-highest run scorer with 243 runs. Ishan Kishan joins him under Grade C, marking a significant comeback for the young wicketkeeper-batsman.

In the IPL, Rohit Sharma recently broke his silence regarding his form, scoring an impressive unbeaten 76 off 45 balls against Chennai Super Kings, which propelled Mumbai Indians to sixth place in the standings with four wins. Rohit’s performance has been vital as the team builds momentum, having won three consecutive matches. Captain Hardik Pandya expressed confidence in Rohit’s ability to regain his best form, emphasizing the importance of his contributions to the team.

Additionally, the Wankhede Stadium, where Rohit has played much of his cricket, is set to honor him with a stand named after him, a recognition he described as a "huge honour." New names added to the BCCI retainership list include Varun Chakravarthy, Abhishek, Nitish, Harshit, and Akash Deep, reflecting the evolving landscape of Indian cricket.
