Hyderabad 16th edition of IPL is going to be held in March and April in India. This time the series is likely to be a very good one as all 10 teams will be playing on local and away basis. Also, this time some new rules have been introduced in the IPL cricket series, so it seems that this series will be interesting.
At this time, the 10 teams participating in this series have released the list of the players they have removed from their team and the players they have retained. Following that, before the upcoming 16th IPL series, the mini auction of IPL series is going to be held on 23rd in Kochi.
In this case, Kane Williamson, who was retained as the captain of the Sunrisers team last year for 14 crores, has been released from the team this time. So the Sunrisers team is going to choose and buy their new captain in this auction.
Irfan Pathan, a former player of the Indian cricket team, has expressed his opinion on which player the Sunrisers team should choose as the captain. Regarding this he said:-
Sunrisers Hyderabad will do well if Mayank Agarwal is picked up at the auction and made captain. Because the team needs a dynamic opener like him. Apart from that, the way he led the Punjab team last year and some of the bold decisions he took show that he is a fearless, selfless player.
So surely he can be a good captain for Sunrisers team. Also, not many will be interested in bidding for Williamson. That way you can get him in the auction even for less to strengthen their middle order.
He said this.
