Laxman Sivaramakrishnan says “Chahal might end up getting more money for being in the auction” in the IPL 2022

Yuzvendra Chahal, the leg-spinner who was left out of the T20 World Cup squad and was not retained by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for the IPL 2022. It is going through a pivotal phase in his cricketing career.

Many predicted that RCB would keep Chahal after his outstanding performances in the second leg of the IPL 2021 in the UAE.

Former India cricketer Laxman Sivaramakrishnan, on the other hand, sees this. As a blessing in disguise for Yuzvendra Chahal, predicting that the leg-spinner will get a high price at auction.

“RCB would want to buy him back. The other teams would want Chahal in their side because of his exceptional record in the IPL. The people who have more money will have the luxury of going for Chahal. In the end, Chahal might end up getting more money for being in the auction than by being retained.” he said

For 2019 season, the Challengers have kept previous captain Virat Kohli, all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, and quick bowler Mohammed Siraj.

Sivaramakrishnan used the example of RCB and CSK’s bidding battle for off-spinner. Ravichandran Ashwin to illustrate how other franchises can raise the price. If the Bangalore-based franchise is anxious to reclaim Yuzvendra Chahal.

“I remember how RCB was raising the paddle seeing CSK going hard for Ashwin. If RCB want Chahal then the other teams might just bid to ensure he costs more to them. So, in the end, Chahal might end up being benefitted,” Sivaramakrishnan added.

With 18 wickets from 15 matches at an economy rate of 7.05, Chahal finished as RCB’s second-highest wicket-taker after Harshal Patel.
