Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings have let go of their captains from final season Kane Williamson and Mayank Agarwal respectively. The latter has already named a captain in Shikhar Dhawan for the upcoming season and the previous is but to call one.
Speaking to Star Sports, former SRH coach Tom Moody stated, “Yes, it will be very interesting to see what the new management does at Sunrisers with respect to Kane, because you can start with retaining a player like Kane Williamson.” At the start of a giant public sale, you again him as your chief, everybody believes he is likely one of the nice fashionable leaders of the sport.
Kane Williamson scored 216 runs at a median of 19.64 and a strike fee of 93.51 to complete eighth within the SRH desk.
Yes, he had a nasty season, sure, he had harm issues within the final 12 months. But it is clear they’ve made the choice to vary such an essential pillar of what their future was going to appear like once they first sat down earlier than the large public sale. I get the decision solely on the premise of 14 crores, it’s a big quantity, particularly for a overseas participant. Moody added.
Maya Agarwal, then again, made an identical comeback final season as a full-time captain. Struggled with batting. The batsman scored 196 runs at a median of 16.33 and strike fee of 122. Punjab completed sixth final season.
Former Indian batsman Sanjay Manjrekar stated, “Look, this is a very interesting case with Mayank Agarwal, for one, when you have a bad season, the price tag doesn’t help. The temptation to release that player And use that money to maybe buy again or you know, look at another option. But Mayank Agarwal’s point? Very nice guy, and this game is not for good people. I mean KL Rahul’s He had several seasons in the top order with him. He actually dismissed KL Rahul at the top, and went on to become the captain and ideally you want a guy to give one more year to prove himself.”
Mayank Agarwal has given up his beginning spot and moved to the center order to accommodate Jonny Bairstow on the prime
“And the worst factor that might occur to him was that he gave up his opening place the place he was phenomenal, and went down the order. That meant it grew to become tougher to bat and the runs did not come, The strain constructed up. So, I really feel sorry for him however he can be a really enticing proposition for groups in search of an opener as a result of that is somebody who will get you large scores and at a strike fee of 150, 160 and in opposition to each Good. Spin and tempo. Manjrekar added
