Rizvi is also an age group product. He was a huge contender for 2022 u19 wc but couldn't get in due to age cut off. Bawa as a batsman isn't as good as Rizwi. Rizwi is India potential. 

I have high hopes from Rizwi as was hoping him to make some noise from u19 days..however..IPL is notch higher than whatever he has faced so far..in terms of bowling quality,crowds,pressure of expectations with so much money spent..

primarily I want to see with ho wmuch ease he plays the international quality fast bowlers..esp the short balls..which have been increased to 2 per over..also the mystery bowlers..

if he successfully handles them..we will have a good player for Indian soon..

what are thoughts on Robin Minz and other unknown players picked by scouts..

Pretty sure Indian superstars get a lot more under the table. This Hardik transfer to MI is so fishy, this league reeks of corruption.

Isme fishy kya hai? MI traded green to RCB and freed up their purse and bought Pandya from GT.

 

So many fishy things here. If you don't see it you are an MI/Ambani fanboy.

1. GT letting go of a captain that won them a title and almost won them another title in two years for no apparent reason

2. Undisclosed transfer fee

3. RCB buying Green as if by force despite him not remotely being a good fit for their side and their home ground

4. Even if RCB really wanted to buy Green, they could have easily got him cheaper at the auction

Yeah, they look the best on paper. They would only hope that the Pandya/Rohit fiasco doesn't impact the team's morale

The new pandu is a tuk tuk pandu lol I am not sure he can play the same role he played with GT.

How come a sh!t player (in all 3 depts) like S Thakur is getting sold at 4 Crore?

Yep.   Thats bigger joke.   But understandable.  As it's MI.

Forgot about the auctions but most teams were more or less settled so hopefully they were able to make some good picks ... As for GT, need to recall who Spencer Johnson is. Good to see Kartik Tyagi in it. Also another AFG player, Omarzai, added (need to refresh my memory on him too)

Yes.  Their fast bowling is looking good with Madhwal, Bumrah, Coetzee.

ya..will be interesting to see

[vvvslaxman]

RCB fans are merciless trolling their franchise for their picking of Alzaari and Yash Dhayal.

[Need4Speed]

RCB needed a death bowler..should have asked for Madhwal along with Cameron Green from MI if Mumbai was desperate to get Pandya back on a 3 way deal..

Although they are being generous towards most sides, Moody had to say about RCB's selection

 

"They go back to where they started" lol

Have not seen him much but from few highlights seems to have that left hander caribbean style of batting. Was spotted by MI first they took him to UK.

And now GT got him.
