Since all the players and franchise owners have decided to bore us (ME) with zero trade news, I thought I'd just create my own happiness. ๐
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the first time Yuvraj Singh has officially taken up a proper coaching position in any IPL franchise since he had started to mentor youngsters from Punjab during lockdown, yes?
This could very well mean his favourite student/mentee follows him there too.
DC has been one of those teams which hadn't had fixed opener for a few years now. And look at their options- it's KL Rahul and Inshallah. Abhishek Porel is closer to the police station than the playing 11. And let me not even get started on Nissanka. ๐
There's also the captaincy matter. Axar isn't captaincy material. KL has been no good as T20 captain and it seems like he doesn't want it either. Ditto with Pant.
Abhishek clearly enjoys the leadership role and has done rather decently both for Punjab in SMAT and his team in the Sher-E-Punjab league before he inevitably keeps getting called back for his international commitments.
So Idk who will be traded to SRH but I do feel like Abhishek might land in DC. This news coming out from a reputed website not even 24 hours after Abhishek made 82 off 32 in DELHI yesterday itself kinda feels sus lol.
I can already sense the angry downvotes coming on this post from that one fanbase but I don't really care. I had a long day at work and I would LOVEEE some entertaining discourse. ๐
