Last year, the inaugural IPL series in India was halted in half due to a corona infection. Following this, the remaining matches were held in the United Arab Emirates.
In this, the Chennai Super Kings team led by Dhoni won the IPL trophy. Following this, the IPL series for 2022 is said to start in April.
New teams
With only eight teams participating in last year’s IPL, this time two new teams have been added, Ahmedabad and Lucknow. Due to this, the existing eight teams have retained only 2 to 4 players, subject to IPL rules.
3 players
The other players will be selected by all the teams in the upcoming IPL mega auction. Similarly, it has been reported that the new two teams will be able to buy three players, 2 Indian players and 1 foreign player, from the players released by the other teams before this mega auction.
The new captain
Of these, the Ahmedabad and Lucknow teams have been the subject of a lot of information over the last few months about which players they are going to buy. According to reports, Hardik Pandya has been appointed as the captain of the Ahmedabad team.
Ahmedabad team contract
According to ESPN Cricinfo, the Ahmedabad team has signed Indian players Hardik Pandya and Chapman Gill for Rs 15 crore and Rs 7 crore respectively. It has also been reported that Rashid Khan has been signed as a foreign player for 15 crore rupees.
Conclusive information?
Hardik Pandya, who was part of the Mumbai Indians squad last season, was released without being retained by the team management. Similarly, the Ahmedabad team now owns Rashid Khan, who played for Hyderabad, and youngster Subman Gill, who was released by the Kolkata Knight Riders.
Who are the coaches?
Not only the players but also the coaches of the team have been released. Former India fast bowler Ashish Nehra, former South African Gary Kristen and former England captain Vikram Solanki are all set to coach Ahmedabad.
Fans expect
Hardik Pandya has been out of action for the past two years due to injury. And, as before, even on a large scale in batting, he does not make an impact. Thus, there was a crisis in getting opportunities for him even in the Indian team.
With the news of the new captain of the IPL team coming out, it is certain that his fans will have high hopes that he will seize this opportunity and return to his old form and prove himself.
