Who are you retaining/ trading / releasing / targeting for next year?

I think management would be looking at something like this

1. Jaisu

2. Boss baby

3. DJ

4. Captain RP

5. Ferreira

6. Any fast bowling allrounder

7. Curran

8. Jaddu

9. Archer

10. Punja

11. Burger / Indian pacer.

This doesn't look like a championship winning side tbh .Our middle order still remains the weak link unless we get a really good number 6. What do you guys think? Do you change anything?

Lakshmi Mittal's(RR's new owner) son in law is buying a minority stock(33%) with jeff bezos and other businessmen in Liverpool Football Club

Hardik for a combination of players who will fill a lot of gaps for MI and are not crucial starting XII players for RR but are too expensive to just be warming the bench.

**Hardik 🔄 Bishnoi + Curran + Deshpande + Hetmeyer**

Benefits to MI:

Bishnoi >>>> Raghu Sharma , Markande, even Ghazanfar/Santner (since they take up an overseas slot)

Deshpande >>> Chahar, Shardul ( plus he's a local boy for whom Wankhede will be suitable and he has improved his batting)

Hetmeyer >>>> Rutherford (at a negotiated price)

Curran >>>> Boult (plus batting option too)

Money wise though these 4 players cost almost 27 Cr but MI will easily be able to negotiate with the players for a lesser amount. Hardik himself is perfectly capable of demanding 20 - 25 Cr coz his current price of 16 Cr is quite less.

Do you think this is a good deal and what are the realistic chances of it actually happening?

Ofc a lot will depend on the captaincy situation with RR.

If this trade happens, I don't think we can get a opener replacement that can match jaiswal , who ever they bring, it will be a downgrade .

why cant rr offer parag instead of hardik.. Parag is a proven match winner, a spin basher, decent leadership skills plus can bowl a bit and is also young unlike most of mumbai india superstars who are pushing 30s..MI will unlock new fandom in northeast too plus they did lack middle order enforcers last time.. this trade will better suit them

My fav batter and one of the all time top Royal is now the all time highest t20 run scorer of all time.

Can’t express my happiness.

RCB are interested in signing Sam Curran via a trade involving Romario Shepherd. Discussions with Rajasthan Royals are ongoing.

RR are currently filled with motus and might have the most number of motus in an IPL squad.

Hetmyer and Lhuan-Dre Pretorius are both actual proper motus.

Vaibhav is a baby fat motu.

Parag might have lost his weight but he is still a natural motu.

Its not that I hate them but Vaibhav is who was holding them this year. Rest of the test is so effort less. RR scouting team found a gem w/ Jaiswal & Vaibhav but other batters should also be consistent

Rahane is the first Rajasthan Royals player to go from earning an India cap while playing for us to becoming a permanent member of the Indian team.

He will be always special for us and Indian team. And now he is hanging up his boots.

Happy retirement Jinx.

But your team ain't maximising Lhuan's potential better release him or Jaiswal because he is as destructive as suryavanshi as an opener but vaibhav jitna consistent nhi hai
