With 10 teams planned for next yr including one at A'bad, below are a few likely candidates for the A'bad team (from the top of the mind recall). A team can retain 3 Ind capped players + 2 right to match (RTM) cards )or 2 players + 3 RTM 

 

The Ind core

 

  • SDP (Hardik). Can come in to captain the team. MI could retain him but if he has an ordinary IPL, he could miss out, which could be a blessing in disguise esp. if he gets to take additional responsibility officially to captain the side. In this case MI would need to go for Rohit, Bumrah & SKY as Ind capped players, and use RTM for Pollard and Boult 
  • Kishan, who may get the opportunity to not only open but also keep. Currently, under the shadows of QdK at MI 
  • R Chahar, the leg spinner seeking to break into team Ind 
  • Siraj. Improving as a bowler. Assuming RCB uses up its 5 players on Kohli, Maxwell, ABDV, Padikkal & Chahal 
  • Natarajan. If SRH retains Warner, Bairstow, Rashid, Bhuvi & Pandey 
  • An off spinner like Sundar or Ashwin (DC could go with Pant, Shaw, Rabada, Nojke/Hetmyer, and Dhawan)

 

A few value purchases

  • Samad. Can get a consistent run at the new franchise ... Tewatia is a great option too but RR could go Buttler, Stokes, Archer, Samson & Tewatia 
  • Jaiswal. The new boy with fighting spirit so maybe a good investment 
  • Ruturaj
  • SRK 

 

 

 

Kishan

Roy/QdK/...

Williamson/Root/... (useful if playing at A'bad) 

Mooen/Hetmyer/Pooran/...

SDP (c)

SRK

Samad

Starc/Norjke 

R Chahar

Siraj

Natrajan 

 

What are the other options considering 5 players will be retained by an incumbent franchise (total 40 players by 8 franchises)? :hmmm:

Below are the players likely to be retained by the franchises: 

 

  • CSK: Dhoni (unless he retires on a high with CSK likely to be in the playoffs), Jadeja, FDP, S Curran, & D Chahar/Raina 
  • DC: Pant, Shaw, Dhawan/Iyer, Rabada & may be Norjke/Hetmyer ... so Iyer could probably be out, Pant may remain as captain 
  • KKR: Russell, Cummins, Gill (?), Morgan (?) & Karthik/Naraine 
  • MI (5 from): Rohit, Bumrah, SDP, SKY, Krunal, Pollard & Boult 
  • PK: KL, Shami (?), Pooran (?), Gayle (if fit) & Agarwal(?)
  • RCB: Kohli, Maxwell, ABDV, Siraj (?) & Chahal (?) ... Padikkal is uncapped 
  • RR: Samson, Buttler, Stokes, Archer & Morris ... Tewatia is uncapped 
  • SRH: Warner, Bairstow, Rashid, Bhuvi & Pandey/Natarajan/Williamson

Potential candidates for a bad exciting Franchise?

 

Rajasthan Royals

 

I think A'bad is supposed to be an additional team (3rd in the west). Imagine Captain SDP walking out with 100K ppl  in the stadium supporting him :dance:

Yes 100k people in the stadium will support him when he bats for :mi: against the Ahmedabad side.

Very plausible.  

 

What song for the Ahmedabad franchise?

:mi: can only retain 3 Ind capped players. SDP may have an ordinary IPL this time, a blessing in disguise, so MI may not retain him

DC should keep Pant, Shaw, Iyer, Rabada and Nortje. Dhawan has been fine the last two seasons but he’s nearing the end of the road. Hetmyer is also fine but far from irreplaceable. 
 

Despite getting tonked in one over today, Rabada looked much better. Still, last half of last season, this season so far and his previous international matches this year he doesn’t look his prime form. I don’t think they let him go, but he may not be a 100% sure thing.

Rohit 

Bumrah 

Hardik 

Sky 

Pollard 

 

They ll let go of boult and find try to rebuy him or find someone who can get wkts with new ball. Krunal is one guy they ll pay huge amount to get back.....teams can ruin their purse by bidding on krunal. Kishen is another whom If needed they can let go off.

Most interesting wud be this 

2 foriegners wud be allowed if we go by rules of last mega auction. Rashid they wont let go and it wud be a straight williamson vs warner . Now problem arsies if their is no RTM.

No way Mumbai will let go of Pandya after one bad season. The retention rules will be changed to 4 Indian players, if it comes to that

 doesn't get more guajrati or amdavadi than this imo but not sure how good it will sound for a cricket franchise.

Chogada is the gujju-most song that I can think of, from mainstream Bollywood.
