@64MohsinKamal It is actually a surprising selection. Because there has always been an issue with the Indian selectors that they select players for the future. I mean what is the issue if you are selecting a player & he is giving you good 3-4 years before retirement.
Performance in IPL 2026:
Rasikh Dar: 19 wickets @ 21.32 in 12 games for RCB
Yash Thakur: 2 wickets @ 27.5 in 1 match for PBKS
Ashok Sharma: 6 wickets @ 38 in 6 matches for GT
Mayank Yadav: 0 wicket in 4 matches for LSG
This bias against RCB players is just unreal, man. 💔
@Fancricket12 Ricky Ponting has played a major role in shaping this team. He backed several Aussie players in the auction, but only Connolly has delivered to some extent. Interestingly, he was probably the only one picked purely on the basis of recent performances.
