The 2021 IPL series ended recently. The Chennai Super Kings team won the championship for the fourth time. In this case, the mega auction will take place before the 2022 IPL. The mega auction is expected to be more exciting than usual as two new teams will be fielded.
In the meantime, with the mega-auction coming up, the two new teams will be able to buy three of the bidders before the auction. According to informed sources, the Punjab team management has reported to the BCCI that the Lucknow team management is urging KL Rahul to leave the Punjab team.
Sources said that the Sunrisers team management has also reported to the BCCI that the Lucknow team management is urging Rashid Khan to leave the Sunrisers team. The sources said that the BCCI was investigating the matter and if it proved to be true, both KL Rahul and Rashid Khan would be banned from participating in the IPL for one year.
It is noteworthy that Jadeja, who had already negotiated to switch to another team while in the Rajasthan team in 2010, was banned from the IPL for one year.
