'Shahrukh Khan will go for Rs 10 crore again and Punjab will not be able to buy him'

 

Before the mini auction of IPL 2024, all 10 franchises have released their respective lists of retained and released players. Punjab Kings team has surprised the fans by releasing Shahrukh Khan. Releasing Sam Curran is understandable but by releasing Shahrukh, Punjab really took a big decision and even famous commentator Aakash Chopra was surprised by this decision.

Akash believes that Punjab Kings (PBKS) have taken a wrong decision of releasing Shahrukh Khan before the IPL 2024 auction and now they will not be able to buy him again in the mini auction. Punjab franchise had acquired Shahrukh for a huge price of Rs 9 crore. However, Shahrukh could not do justice to his price in IPL 2023. He had scored only 156 runs in 13 innings at an average of 22.29 and perhaps due to this performance Punjab took this big decision.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said, "They (Punjab Kings) have not released Sam Curran. They have released Shahrukh (Khan). It is beyond my understanding. I believe that Was a player worth nine crores, you can save a little money, but you will not be able to buy him back. Someone will take him. Delhi (Capitals) can pick him because they need a lower-middle order batsman. So he A lot of money can be spent on that. Shahrukh Khan will be sold again for Rs 10 crore and Punjab will not get that.

On November 26, when all the teams released the list of their retained and released players, there was a lot of uproar. The most suspense was about Hardik Pandya because initially the Gujarat Titans team retained him in their team but after a few hours the news came that Mumbai Indians have traded him from Gujarat, which means that now Pandya will not be able to play in the IPL. He will be seen playing for Mumbai in 2024 and it is possible that he may also be seen captaining Mumbai.
