@Orange_Blood_04 And if * Pat is doing good with the ball. Fast bowlers can be rotated. This is good for their workload and staying fresh too. Earlier SRH always had the habit of picking the same set of fast bowlers. And fatigue sets in for them.
@Orange_Blood_04 This cycle has to complete. Don't know the schedule of Aussie team whether they might miss initial or later of IPL. But captaincy can be with Kishan. And in those high pressure games like in playoffs and Pat is doing good with the ball, he too could contribute with his inputs.
@Ishanworld32 About captaincy though Pat with spinners is defensive, not ideal for Indian conditions. And also not good if he is not available for all matches and foreign player spot needs to be based on conditions. As a player and team member,leader a good person to be in the team.
@arjunnn30 Bowled all difficult overs. Decent 2025 season,a bit underwhelming 2026 season but he is back from injury I think. If there are other supporting bowlers he can do good. But he does not like trusting his spinners who sometimes go for runs but need their wickets in Indian condns.
@Spin_Specialist@kinny_07@Ben10Brevis@CricCrazyJohns Still remember when it was Natarajan vs Arshdeep in debates how PBKS were supporting him. Still he could have been hurt that he was not retained ahead of the auction.
@kinny_07@Ben10Brevis@CricCrazyJohns Should take into account the grounds, pitches, team scores and support from other bowlers. If a bowler who is not in rhythm doesn't get support and breathing space, he likely will be even more expensive.
@Rajiv1841 The quality of the league suffers if franchises can't assemble decent team due to many constraints. Other deserving players who are not superstars also could get lesser pay. The franchises might not be able to accomodate good players if they don't have the money to do it.
