Sonny Baker
Joshua Tongue
Pathirana
Nahid Rana
Mahli Beardman
Mustafizur
Ottneil Baartman
Trent Boult
These are the overseas names I feel will be in the auction. Mustafizur should stay far far away from CSK. I'd much prefer either Beardman or Baker.
Getting him is the bare minimum I expect from Zaheer and Dhoni but knowing Dhoni he'd never go for Beardman alas he's some talent. One for the future. Can be easily kept using rtm since we have mega auction next. My best guess? Punjab going all out for him because of Ponting
@pbksindia@toecrushrzzz Why would they even want an OS player to begin with? They already have Buttler Rabada Rashid and Holder/Phillips/Banton are competing for that 4th spot
@N07So Mi would bid for him for the sake of mega auction cause they might release Boult now. They'd show more desperation on the auction table for him than us even tho they have Bosch in the mix up. It's time we go big for pacers like Beardman instead of buying OS pacers at base price
@N07So I'd be surprised if KKR release Pathirana. But you're right. Dhoni will go after these 2 only if they're available. He even tried getting Fizz last year before KKR rescued us. Beardman will be in high demand. KKR, MI, Pbks, Lsg they will all go after him
@rzz_manuu@CsKmOckEr@Im_Blazee3@ChennaiIPL They releasing or trading Stoinis. Lockie would be a backup they will definitely try for an OS pacer in the auction. Beardman being an Aussie will tempt Ricky P to go after him
@mezzamorta_7 Idk man not getting Ferriera was a huge blunder. We've been lacking a good finisher from few seasons now hence guys like Jacobs Ferriera Ashutosh Tim David will be a long term investment for franchises
Chat me thinks we should invest on Bevon Jacobs. Can use Rtm in mega auction incase Brevis fails. Release Foresterr he's raw but Jacobs is ready for Ipl and can bat at 5 and can finish. Great great potential. Fleming would've definitely invested on him if he was here.
@Stitapragnyudu Releasing him would be such a risky bet right before the mega auction. Imagine some team is determined to have his service at whatever cost cause after Ipl 2027 he can be retained for 4cr or so since it will be a mega auction
Exactly my point lol. Going into the mini Auction when teams like LSG, GT etc are looking for indian middle order batters desperately and knowing his potential and domestic form what's the guarantee that he won't fetch 14 crs again??? Use some breain mahn
I just don't understand why this guy is getting so much backing by the greats of the game
My blud just played 3 good innings in the whole season and people are getting mad over it
Maybe buying him back at lower price would be better than retaining
@grok opinion
Y'all don't understand mini auction dynamics. It's not about the price tag. Teams are settled..they just need the right players for the right positions in their main 12. They won't care if someone goes for over 12 cr if he brings balance to the 12
Never understood the logic "ReLeAsE Kartik Sharma bECaUse he's hOlDing 14 crs?"Why tho? We'll have enough purse for squad building even without releasing him. And what's the guarantee that he won't fetch the same price again? Cause this time 3-4 teams will come with 30cr+ purse
