Beyond the Boundary | Virat Kohli's lack of form, IPL retentions… and auction in Vegas?

On the latest episode of Beyond the Boundary, which aired on October 16, host Chetan Narula put tough questions to Times of India journalists K Shriniwas Rao, Gaurav Gupta and Sahil Malhotra on Virat Kohli 's drop in form, his legacy in Test cricket and the IPL retention conundrum for the franchises with Sunrisers Hyderabad reportedly making their picks.

On the episode, the panel discussed Kohli, who is nearing the 10,000-run mark, and his drop in form compared to the highs between 2015-2018. The panel tried to make sense of Kohli's decision to not play domestic cricket or get more playing time under his belt ahead of Bangladesh, New Zealand Tests with the all-important Australia series to come.


The show culminated with the hot topic of Indian Premier League (IPL) retentions with the deadline of October 31 fast approaching. The discussion began with the latest report of SRH sticking with Heinrich Klaasen for a staggering Rs 23 crore ahead of Pat Cummins , Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head and Nitish Kumar Reddy.


Also discussed on the IPL retention topic were Mumbai Indians , Punjab Kings , Kolkata Knight Riders , Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants .

The show closed with the panellists making sense of the IPL auction venues, with an out-of-the-box idea in North America!
