MI retain SKY ahead of Hardik and Kishan

 

[urbestfriend]

MI will buyback Kishan and Hardik for sure..

How? they have 48 crores left only.

 

Both will go for high price

[nitinbwj]

Ashwin, Shreyas, Dhawan, Rabada all released 

[RedFever]

Can't understand why MI released Ishan Kishan and preferred SKY, being a WK batsman has more utility than SKY.

Pollard agreeing for 6 crore

[cricketfan28]

not good for kishan .. if he is away from sarma he might be  away from indian team. Hope he is bought back. 

Hardik doesn't need any support , he himself can dictate whether he is available or not , champion.

[zubinpepsi]

Jadeja is one luck SOB. 16Cr.. wow..

Rutu for 6 is a steal..

 

[Chakdephatte]

SKY couldn't have gone for more than 8cr even in the auctions. With Ishaan, you never know.

Overall, below are good picks: 

• DC: Went with two strokemarkers in Pant & Shaw, while keeping a pace bowler in Nortje and an accurate spinner in Axar
• KKR: 4 useful T20 players esp. if T20 heavy weights like Russell and Naraine can show good form. V Iyer and Varun C are useful in the format 
• RR: 2 match winners in Samson & Buttler, along with the youngster Jaiswal 
• RCB: Kohli (as batsman not captain), Maxwell, & Siraj 

 

Overall, the below could have been better: 

• CSK: Moeen & a young Ruturaj are positive picks. Dhoni & Jadeja are legacy picks. Jadeja' bowling may work at Chennai 
• MI: Bumrah & SKY, who brings 360 degrees game, are good picks. Rohit is ok. Pollard if he is not past his best 
• PK: Why even bother with Mayank unless he is expected to lead the team? Arshdeep not bad as he is uncapped 
• SRH: Kane is ok. Samad and Malik are uncapped but SRH I am not sure is a good place for players with an attacking mindset 

 

 

PS There are a lot of good players in the auction pool so will be interesting to see how the two new franchises shape up.

Thing is Rashid wanted to be first retainer instead of Williamson and they should have agreed. KW retained as first. They were giving Rashid 2nd place. Rashid and Rahul may get banned for one year.

[rkt.india]

Jaddu 16 cr

[New guy]

Dhoni volunteered to be second pick, which is why jadeja got first pick 

[rkt.india]

RR could have retained Kartik Tyagi as well along with Jaiswal. He is arguably the best young fast bowler in the country, atm.

Home player preferred

[Lone Wolf]

Bishnoi will be quite costly terrible move by Punjab. 

Shreyas will go heavy as well due to potential captaincy role

Agree. Maybe worried about Tyagi's injuries (missed a lot of games for them). Did not retail Archer as well due to a lack of clarity over his injury. 

[rkt.india]

Don't like this idea of spending almost half the purse in four retention while you would need at least 20 players.
