All old franchisees of Indian Premier League
decided their retention and now next step is draft by two new franchisees of
Indian Premier League. Both these new franchisees will need to select three
draft players out of released players list. Out of these three players, two
players should be from India and one player should be from foreign origin.
Shreyas Iyer decided earlier to be released from
Delhi Capitals. He wants to be captain for franchisee. Two new franchisees need
captain. They have various options available including KL Rahul, David Warner,
Eoin Morgan, Suresh Raina.
Looking at long term scenario, Shreyas Iyer will
be part of either of two new franchisees. However, it is believed that Lucknow
franchisee has approached KL Rahul and Rashid Khan. So, there is higher chance
for Shreyas Iyer to be picked by Ahmedabad franchisee. This depends on draft
price to be offered to Shreyas Iyer. Looking at recent performance, experience
as captain; Shreyas Iyer will surely be drafted for INR 14 Cr – INR 16 Cr.
If Shreyas Iyer is not drafted by any of two new
franchisees, he will surely be picked at higher price (>INR 10 Cr) looking
at requirement of new captains for teams like Punjab Kings, Kolkata Knight
Riders, Royal Challengers Bangalore. So new franchisees will not risk to lose
such a player by not picking him during draft.
Best chance for Shreyas Iyer is going into new
franchisee of Ahmedabad as captain.
