IPL 2022 Mega auction: CSK Auction targets | Delay in IPL auction? | Kohli vs BCCI | IPL news Tamil #ipl #ipl2022 #ipldraft #ipl2022tamil #iplschedule #iplnews #vivoipl Reports: KL Rahul likely to be named Lucknow skipper, Shreyas Iyer in captaincy contention for Ahmedabad In what can be called a major development, two new Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises, based in Lucknow and Ahmedabad respectively, have finalized the three players they’ll pick ahead of the players’ auction. As per the reports, KL Rahul, who wasn’t retained by Punjab Kings, is likely to lead the Lucknow-based team. Rashid Khan are Ishan Kishan are the other two players who’ll accompany the 29-year-old. As far as the Ahmedabad franchise is concerned, Shreyas Iyer, who parted ways with Delhi Capitals, would lead them. While Hardik Pandya is the other player picked in the team, either Quinton de Kock or David Warner would be the other pick in the team. For the unversed, the two new franchises are allowed to make a maximum of three picks from the list of non-retained players ahead of the next season’s bidding event. As a mega auction is in the pipeline, teams were allowed to retain just a maximum of four players, out of which only two can be foreign retentions. Hence, Lucknow and Ahmedabad have a lot of options to choose from. While the deadline to finalize the picks in December 25, sources close to ABP news have revealed that the players and even the captain is selected. Also an update was provided on the CSK Auction targets. Ravi ashwin, Washington sundar, Shah rukh khan and Shikhar dhawan are touted to be in CSK's radar. Wait on CVC decision continues The wait on the Ahmedabad franchise, bought by CVC Sports, continues. Although there is an air of optimism for a possible settlement soon, the BCCI authorities have been inexplicably silent on the matter. It is learnt that a retired judge of the Supreme Court has been consulted and his advice is being awaited. One notable development that has come to light recently is that the expert advice has gone against awarding the franchise to the second-highest bidder, should the BCCI decide to cancel the allocation of the franchise to the American investment firm. The BCCI, apparently, will have to go for rebidding, which may offset a lot of the IPL planning.
