Which means they don't want Iyer at all. Who'll be their captain?

Yeah, tough call. Maybe they'll wait to assemble the squad and then pick their captain.

I was thinking MI will release Rohit and KKR might pick him

6 franchises already have WKs 

 

CSK - Dhoni

DC - Stubbs 

LSG - Pooran 

PK - Prabsimran

RR - Samson 

SRH - Klassen 

 

The other 4 franchises could battle for:

 

Buttler - GT probably 

Conway 

Kishan - MI probably on RTM

KL - RCB probably (homecoming)

Pant - KKR probably as it a captain

QDK

Gurbaz

MI can't RTM Kishan.  They have filled their quota of capped retentions. 

They can only RTM an uncapped player

 

Pant will be the most expensive keeper buy. No way KKR can afford him. Pant will go to one of PBKS or RCB.

Jitesh will be in the auction as well. Hard to say which team will go aggressively for him.

KKR doesn't have money to buy Pant.

Don't get the hype to take Klassen with 23 cr - sure he is a beast against spin but guy chokes when team needs him most and rarely finishes games. Kavya went overboard imo.

She can use him for different work as you said he is a beast from Africa!!

If MI cannot use RTM, Kishan has a chance of ending up with GT too which tried to pick it earlier unless GT is done with flip-flopping remote controlled MI players. MI is not going to overpay for Kishan this time unless it has not learned a lesson. 
 

I just saw the auction budgets, PK and RCB have 110+ and 80+ respectively. They are known to do something stupid so won’t be surprised if they try to outbid each other to dent their purse  :phehe:

 

Also will be interesting to see how Nehraji builds the team. A couple of good left arm pacers are likely to end up at GT (PS hopefully, not Khaleel).

RR, KKR and , surprisingly, Delhi Capitals have made the best retentions imo. 

 

Kohli at 21 crore and Jadeja at 18 ?  Talk about misplaced priorities 

 

Apart from Jurel. That will singlehandedly mess up their purse. 

 

Need to buy atleast 10 more for just 41 cr.

Yeah that was a bit of a surprise. RR do develop players better than most though. 

 

Suspect Sanju will play as a pure batter and Jurel will keep to justify that price tag. 

 

Limited sample but Jurel can play when the ball is turning big in red ball cricket and though he doesn't have the raw numbers in T20 cricket , RR may be looking at him as a specialist spinner hitter through the middle.

RCB also despite Kohli's retention.

 

They go into the auction with the second biggest. Splurging on Kohli was expected as he brings the most brand value to them. Yash at 5 crore is decent.

Jurel retention was clownery.

Could have got him at less than half that price in the auction. They could have either let that spot unfilled or retained Buttler at that price

Yeah it's a bit too high for Jurel. But I think the Buttler decision was astute on their part. 

 

He's not the player he was a couple of years ago and didn't stand out with even quite a few Indian batsmen outperforming him last season alone.

Yes, best thing would have been to save that money for the auction

His best position should be opening as of now. But they have locked most of their batting. We don't know what happens in auction with just 41 cr, they need to buy all bowlers.

Yeah. Retaining Hetmyer for that amount is quite questionable. Maybe they saw something in his CPL performance this year. 

 

They might have only 1 or 2 established bowlers in mind for the auction
