HE said it’s going to be challenging with the two new teams in the auction and would like to build a balanced squad for the upcoming IPL season. The assistant coach said they have sorted the 4 key players for the squad and would like to buy the other 7 players in the auction which gives more balance to the squad.
He believes they need to be prepared very well for the auction as the auction is very dynamic in nature and unpredictable and be prepared for the worst situation.
