Ideal Plan for KKR before the upcoming mega auction 2022 :
_Rajesh Mallick
Before the auction it’s very essential to be with your exact planning. Not only with planning rather you must have the counter plannings for every moves there. You need to be very focused. It’s good for KKR that they needs 7 more first team players as they already back their 4 first choice players from the previous season & they have 48Cr. remaining in purse. And we know KKR always want to give opportunity to young talents. We Indian cricket fans are always highly emotional with our crickthoughts. We’re always wanted to be connected with the lovely game of cricket.
Before any auction we must have to admire the 'Demand-&-Supply' rule. It clearly means we have to be very clear with our thoughts what is our demands ? And if we’re not able to get the players then what will be our alternatives ?
I personally want to pointed out few crusial points we have to admire on before the auction table.
(I) Forming the proper first XI
(II) Finding the proper backups.
(III) Identifying youth talents
Forming First XI :
In modern day cricket it’s very important to have a proper balancing XI for any tournament. Especially in T20 cricket I always prefer all-rounders in my team. But It will not be a easy task for us to have maximum number of good all-rounders in our team. So, we need proper and balancing side. I would like to prefer few names for the multiple positions.
According to me, The proper XI KKR should target :
1) Mohammed Gurbaz✈️(WK)/ Shikhar Dhawan (C)/ Jhony Bairsow ✈️(WK)/Ishan Kishan(WK)
2) Venkatesh Iyer
3) Shreyas Iyer (C)/ Manish Pandey (C)/ Nitish Rana/ Rahul Tripathy
4) Andre Russell ✈️
5) Aiden Makram/ Liam Livingstone/ Russy Van-Der-Dussen/ Devon Conway/Rovman Powell ✈️
6) Shahrukh Khan/ Shivam Dubey/ Dipak Hooda
7) Shahbaz Ahmed/ Washington Sundar/ K.Gowtham/ K.Pandya
8) Sunil Narine ✈️
9) Mohammed Shami/ Shivam Mavi/ P.Krishna/A.Khan
10) Lokie Ferguson/ Pat. Cummins/KG Rabada✈️
11) Varun Chakravarthy
My first choice KKR team will be such as :
1) Mohammad Gurbaz ✈️ (WK) (RHB)
2) Venkatesh Iyer (LHB)
3) Sheyash Iyer (C)
4) Andre Russell ✈️ (VC)
5) Shivam Dube
