Chennai: It has been reported that there is a big fight going on in the Sunrisers Hyderabad team to retain the players.
A mega auction will be held for the 2024 IPL series. It has been reported that each team can retain a maximum of 4 players for this.
Thus the expectation is high as to which team will retain which players.
Continuous confusion
Defending champions Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians, Kolkata and Punjab have finalized the list with a clear decision on which players they are going to retain. But the confusion over the selection of players for the Sunrisers Hyderabad team alone continues
Bad year
Last season was a bit bad for the Hyderabad team. Snatched the post from captain David Warner who won the trophy and sat out. Williamson was then named captain and ended the series on a roll. So they are actively consulting to give a better comeback next year.
The player to be retained
Captain Williamson has been retained as the primary choice for that. He will be paid a salary of Rs 16 crore. Since David Warner will probably be sacked, Rashid Khan has been busy trying to retain him somehow. But he did not consent to that.
Condition
Rashid Khan, who is one of the best spinners in the world, has stipulated that he should be selected as the first player this time. Because the first player will be paid Rs 16 crore and the second player will be paid Rs 12 crore. So he has demanded to choose himself as the first player because the pay is not enough. But it seems that the Hyderabad team did not approve of this.
Severe setback
Rashid Khan is likely to leave the team as he is unhappy that the Hyderabad team will continue to side with Williamson in this matter. If a bowler like Rashid Khan goes to auction, giving him crores of rupees will take him to the auction. This is sure to be a setback for the Hyderabad team. Rashid Khan has taken 93 wickets in 76 matches in the IPL so far.
Preethy Zinta ready to spend crores? Mark for 3 international stars for Punjab captaincy ..
Chennai: Preity Zinta’s officials have targeted 3 international star players to act as the captain of the Punjab team.
Preparations for the IPL mega auction are in full swing. Teams still have 3 days to submit details of the 4 players they will retain.
This aside, they are also consulting on which other players can be selected as an alternative to the players who will be sacked. Especially the Punjab Kings team.
Punjab team captain
Punjab are one of the three teams that have not won a trophy even once since the start of the IPL series. Kings XI Punjab was renamed as Punjab Kings and KL Rahul was appointed captain. However, the team’s defeat did not change. The team has decided to sack KL Rahul and appoint another captain. It is almost certain that KL Rahul will also be signed as the captain of the Lucknow team.
Three players
In this situation, 3 players have been targeted to appoint the new captain of the Punjab team. Ian Morgan is the first choice. Morgan, who was appointed captain of the Kolkata team last season, led the team to the final. He also led England to the final of the T20 World Cup. However, the KKR team decided to dismiss him as his batting form was poor. But Punjab are negotiating in the hope that he will have better captaincy skills if he returns to form.
Shreyas Iyer
Indian player Shreyas Iyer has been targeted for the 2nd selection. Shreyas Iyer was the refresher for the Delhi Capitals, who struggled to make the play-offs. But his replacement is currently Punt Delhi captain. Thus it has been decided to expel Shreyas this year. Thus it is planned to lure him to the Punjab team. As he excels at batting and captaincy, he is more likely to confirm Shreyas as captain.
Australian player
Punjab are planning to appoint Australian batsman David Warner as their captain for the third time. Warner, who captained the Hyderabad team, was dropped from playing 11 due to a sudden disagreement. And leaving the team has been confirmed. But Warner is currently in good batting form. The fact that the captaincy will also be better is an opportunity for the Punjab team.
