Sangwan gets a bid. What!!

First U-19 pick at IPL 2008

I did not anticipate Kyle Mayers getting picked up

Rajasthan has 13 players

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Lol.

 

[SaiSrini]

Looking at an ideal CSK XI (my opinion) based on the squad so far:

Ruturaj
Conway
Moeen
Rayudu
Dubey
Dhoni
Jadeja
Pretorious/Milne
Chahar
Rajvardhan
Theekshana

This would mean we will continue to bat until No. 10. I like the look of this better. Of course I do feel Dhoni might try to fit in Bravo somehow, but I would play Bravo on a "by need basis".

Maybe Dhoni should come below Theekshana.

Surely after spending 440 to bring back Bravo he'd be first choice.

And I can't see Dhoni batting 6th

what happens in the event a team doesn't spend everything? does it get rolled over until next season?

Nope, just disappears

Nope, just disappears

I mean I wouldn't be surprised if the BCCI pocketed it

This SRH squad is kinda baffling. Looking at the possible XI:

1. Rahul Tripathi
2. Kane Williamson
3. Aiden Markram
4. Nicholas Pooran
5. Priyam Garg
6. Abdul Samad
7. Washington Sundar
8. Marco Jansen
9. Kartik Tyagi
10. T. Natarajan
11. Umran Malik

It's hard to balance that team - the lack of batting means they need to play all three of the overseas batters in the top four. That leaves Jansen, Shepherd and Abbott fighting over one spot at eight.

If they can swing it, maybe grab someone like Suresh Raina or Karun Nair out of the unsold pool with what's left of the budget.

That H in SRH stands for Hard to Balance

Suresh Raina

No just no.
