India’s 15-man roster for the upcoming three-match T20I Series against Bangladesh includes Nitish Kumar Reddy. In the meantime, seam-bowling all-rounder Aakash Chopra, a former cricket player, believes Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will want him to remain uncapped ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega-auction.
At the recently constructed Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior, the first T20I match will begin on Sunday, October 6. It could be challenging for young Reddy to make the team with Shivam Dube and Hardik Pandya already in place. To give the 21-year-old a taste of international cricket, the Men in Blue may offer him a debut if they can win the series in the first two matches.
They’d be hoping Nitish Kumar Reddy doesn’t get capped. ‘Please don’t play him in the T20I series,’ they would be pleading. In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Chopra stated, “His name is there in that team, just like Harshit Rana’s, and if he gets a chance to play, he will also become capped.”
When it comes to capped retentions, Chopra believed that Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, captain Pat Cummins, and Abhishek Sharma would be SRH’s top choices.
They must first decide whether to keep Abhishek Sharma and the captain. Heinrich Klaasen must stay on, and it would be ideal to acquire Travis Head. The first names that spring to mind are these four. Chopra noted that since Pat Cummins is the team captain and has led the team to success, you should keep him on.
Abhishek Sharma has the option to bid somewhere between 10 and 18 crores or any other amount. Chopra Aakash
In the IPL 2024, Sharma had an incredible season with the bat. He finished the event with an incredible strike rate of 204.22, matching Headshot for the shot. According to Chopra, SRH should hold onto the southpaw since, should he go to auction, he might be among the most costly selections.
Abhishek Sharma is an obvious choice. Abhishek Sharma has the option to bid somewhere between 10 and 18 crores or any other amount. Thus, keep him around as well. My second choice will be Abhishek Sharma, Chopra said.
The former cricket player who is now a commentator estimated that Klaasen and Head might not fetch 14 crores at the auction, but he suggested SRH to hold onto both of the potent batsmen.
Then Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen. Despite my great regard for both Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen—especially the latter—I don’t think either of them will fetch 14 crores if they go up for sale. If at all possible, try to keep them on board. Three of the players will be overseas, but there is a way we can keep four of them, he said.
