Anil Kumble Said :
“We wanted to retain him and that’s one of the reasons we chose him as the captain two years ago, so that he could be the fulcrum of the team. But he decided to go into the auction, and we respect that. It’s a player’s prerogative,”
K. Shanmugam, Sunrisers Hyderabad CEO, Said :
The franchise would have wanted Rashid to stay, indicating that the franchise will try and get him back in the auction.
Parth Jindal, Delhi Capitals owner Said :
“It is heartbreaking to lose Shreyas Iyer, Shikhar Dhawan, Kagiso Rabada and (R.) Ashwin. The auction process is like this. Going forward, the IPL needs to look at it because it is not fair that you build up a team, give youngsters a chance, groom them and they get opportunities for the franchises and play for their country and then you lose them after three years. IPL needs to have a re-look,”.
KL Rahul is likely to lead the Lucknow franchise, as per sources.
